As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 131,562,155 Shares with a par value of US$1.00 each.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
4. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS
In accordance with Article 14.17 of the Articles, at each annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third, shall retire from office by rotation, provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. Accordingly, Ms. Yi Wang, Mr. Weiking Ng and Ms. Bin Yu, will retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election.
The Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company’s board diversity policy and the Company’s corporate strategy. The Nomination Committee has recommended to the Board on re-election of all the above-mentioned Directors.
On the re-election of, Ms. Yi Wang, Mr. Weiking Ng and Ms. Bin Yu, the Nomination Committee considered, and the Board shared the same views, that at all times during their period of directorship with the Company, they have properly discharged their duties and responsibilities, and their professional knowledge and general business acumen will continue to generate significant contribution to the Board for its effective functioning and diversity, the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Ms. Bin Yu, as an independent non-executive director candidate, further contributes to the diversity of the Board through her work experience and directorships in a variety of industries and other listed companies, her extensive experience overseeing legal compliance and risk control of businesses, and her accounting and financial management expertise.
In this regard, the Board is satisfied that Ms. Yi Wang, Mr. Weiking Ng and Ms. Bin Yu are persons of integrity and believes that their re-election and continued appointment will allow the Board as well as the Company to continuously benefit from the sharing of their invaluable experience, contribution and participation.
In addition, Ms. Bin Yu has made an annual confirmation of independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Board is of the view that Ms. Yu meets the guidelines for assessing independence set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is independent. Ms. Yu possesses extensive experience in financial and operational leadership. She has demonstrated her ability to provide an independent view to the Company’s affairs during her tenure in office. The Board considers enhancing its diversity with different expertise when re-election of an independent non-executive Director. The Board is of the view that Ms. Yu will continue to bring further contribution and independent opinion to the Group and therefore propose to the Shareholders for her re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Repurchase Mandate.
1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Directors believe that the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.
Repurchases of Shares may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, result in an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 131,562,155 Shares, with no treasury Shares.
Subject to the passing of the resolution granting of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are allotted and issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 13,156,215 Shares representing 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date (excluding any treasury Shares), during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period with which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by any applicable laws or the Articles; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by a resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases of Shares will be funded from the Company’s internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, in the laws of the British Virgin Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
– 12 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES
The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company. The Directors consider that if the general mandate to repurchase Shares were to be exercised in full at the current prevailing market value, it may not have a material adverse impact on the working capital and the gearing position of the Group, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group as at December 31, 2025, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the mandate to repurchase Shares to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Group or the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Group.
5. GENERAL
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles and the applicable laws of the British Virgin Islands.
The Company may cancel such repurchased Shares or hold them as treasury Shares, subject to market conditions and the Group’s capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases.
For any treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall (i) procure its broker not to give any instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings of the Company for the treasury Shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, withdraw the treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions, or take any other measures to ensure that it will not exercise any shareholders’ rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as treasury Shares.
To the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors or any of their close associates, as defined in the Listing Rules, currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person, as defined in the Listing Rules, has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
– 13 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX I
The Directors confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief, neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
6. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as is known to, or can be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by the Directors, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, Good Taste Limited was interested in 43,473,147 Shares (including the 7,721 share awards vested but shares not yet issued to Good Taste Limited), representing approximately 33.04% of the total number of Shares in issue. Good Taste Limited is wholly-owned by Ocean Investments Limited, the entire interest of which is in turn wholly owned and managed by a corporate trustee (the “Trustee”) for the benefit of a discretionary (irrevocable) family trust in which, Mr. James Leslie Marshall (“Mr. Marshall”) is the protector, a named person in its discretionary class of beneficiaries and one of the directors of the Trustee. Mr. Marshall as the protector of the trust has various powers and rights pursuant to the terms of the relevant trust deed including, without limitation, the power to appoint or remove the trustee as well as the right to direct the trustee to exercise the voting or other rights attached to any securities of Ocean Investments Limited, the 100% parent of Good Taste Limited. Mr. Marshall is however not the settlor of the irrevocable trust, and the settlor of the trust does not have control over, or interests, in the assets of the trust. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, then the attributable interest of Good Taste Limited would be increased from approximately 33.04% to approximately 36.72% of the total number of Shares in issue.
To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in such mandatory offer obligation arising.
The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the number of the issued Shares would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
