CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Appendix I is an explanatory statement required by the GEM Listing Rules which serves to provide the Shareholders with the necessary information relating to the resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorizing the grant of the Repurchase Mandate.
1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
Exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 649,540,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company before the AGM, could result up to 64,954,000 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the period from the passing of the resolution relating to the Repurchase Mandate up to the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association of the Company or any applicable laws to be held; and (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association of the Company and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited accounts as contained in the 2024 Annual Report) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing positions which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
5. GENERAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors and their respective Associates has a present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved and exercised, to sell Shares to the Company. No connected persons have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved and exercised.
6. UNDERTAKING
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 GEM Listing Rules, the memorandum of association and Articles of Association of the Company and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
7. TAKEOVERS CODE
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 the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder’s interests, 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.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Team Drive, a substantial shareholder, held approximately 53.06% of the issued Shares. If the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, the percentage shareholding of Team Drive will increase to 58.95%. Such increase would not give rise to an obligation for it to make a general offer for the Shares under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Also the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in any takeover obligation.
8. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company (whether on GEM or otherwise) in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

A proxy needs not be a member of the Company. If more than one proxy is appointed, the appointment shall specify the number of shares in respect of which each proxy is so appointed.
(3) To be valid, the form of proxy together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority must be deposited at the Company’s Hong Kong share registrar (“Registrar”), Union Registrars Limited, at Suites 3301–04, 33/F, Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong, not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the AGM or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be). Completion and delivery of the form of proxy will not preclude a member from attending in person and voting at the AGM (or any adjournment thereof) if the member so desires, and in such event, the form of proxy previously submitted by such member shall be deemed to be revoked.
(4) Where there are joint registered holders of any share(s) in the Company, any one of such persons may vote at any meeting, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such share(s) as if such person was solely entitled thereto; but if more than one of such joint holders are present at the meeting personally or by proxy, the vote of that one of the said persons so present whose name stands first on the register of members of the Company in respect of such share(s) shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders.
