RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with information regarding the resolutions to be proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting in relation to (i) the granting to the Directors of the Issuance and Resale Mandate and the Buy-back Mandate; (ii) the re-election of the Directors; (iii) the proposed amendments to the Internal Policy as set out in Appendix III; (iv) the proposed Share Consolidation; and (v) the proposed amendments to the Existing M&A of the Company and the proposed adoption of the New M&A of the Company.
ISSUANCE AND RESALE MANDATE
In order to ensure flexibility and give discretion to the Directors, in the event that it becomes desirable for the Company to issue any new Shares (including the sale or transfer of Treasury Shares out of the treasury that are held as Treasury Shares of the Company), approval is to be sought from the Shareholders, pursuant to the Listing Rules, for the Issuance and Resale Mandate to issue new Shares (including the sale or transfer of Treasury Shares out of the treasury that are held as Treasury Shares of the Company). At the Annual General Meeting, ordinary resolution number (5) will be proposed to grant the Issuance and Resale Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with new Shares and/or to sell or transfer Treasury Shares not exceeding 10% of the number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Issuance and Resale Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total issued share capital of the Company comprised 7,884,500,000 Shares of US$0.04 each. Subject to passing of the ordinary resolution number (5) and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to issue new Shares (including the sale or transfer of Treasury Shares out of the treasury that are held as Treasury Shares of the Company) for a maximum of 788,450,000 Shares.
Details of the Issuance and Resale Mandate is set out in resolution number (5) in the notice of the Annual General Meeting set out on pages 43 and 44 of this circular. The Issuance and Resale Mandate will expire upon whichever is the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable law to be held; and (c) the revocation or variation of the authority given to the Board under the ordinary resolution approving the Issuance and Resale Mandate by passing of an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Issuance and Resale Mandate, if granted to the Directors at the Annual General Meeting.
BUY-BACK MANDATE
By resolutions approved by the Shareholders entitled to vote at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 22 May 2024, general mandates were given to the Directors, among others, to exercise the powers of the Company to buy back its own Shares in accordance with the relevant rules set out in the Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code. These general mandates will lapse at the conclusion of the forthcoming Annual General Meeting unless renewed at that meeting. An ordinary resolution will therefore be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to renew the general mandate to buy back Shares (excluding Treasury Shares).
At the Annual General Meeting, ordinary resolution number (6) will be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve and grant the Buy-back Mandate. The Shares which may be bought back pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate are up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) on the date of passing of the resolution approving the Buy-back Mandate.
The Buy-back Mandate will expire upon whichever is the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable law to be held; and (c) the revocation or variation of the authority given to the Board under the ordinary resolution approving the Buy-back Mandate by passing of an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
An explanatory statement as required under the Listing Rules, giving certain information regarding the Buy-back Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO INTERNAL POLICY
It is noted that following the approval by Hon Hai (the Company's ultimate controlling shareholder whose shares are listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation) of its relevant procedures in accordance with applicable Taiwan laws and regulations, the Company has correspondingly adopted and subsequently amended and updated its own internal policies following the Shareholders' approvals at its annual general meeting held in 2020 and 2021 respectively.
In light of the recent amendments to Hon Hai's procedures in accordance with the up-to-date relevant laws and regulations in Taiwan, it is proposed that the Company should make corresponding amendments to the Internal Policy, so that all amended procedures could be operated consistently in line with each other within the Hon Hai Technology Group as a whole. Pursuant to the Internal Policy, any amendments thereto shall be submitted to the Shareholders for approval in general meeting, and accordingly, ordinary resolution number (7) will be proposed at the AGM to approve the amendments to the Internal Policy.
A comparison of the existing Internal Policy and the proposed new Internal Policy showing the proposed amendments is set out in Appendix III to this circular.
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 10 April 2025.
The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every ten (10) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value of US$0.04 each be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of US$0.40 each.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effects of the proposed Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was US$800,000,000 divided into 20,000,000,000 Existing Shares of par value of US$0.04 each, of which 7,884,500,000 Existing Shares had been issued and were fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming no further Existing Shares will be issued, allotted or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will become US$800,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares of par value of US$0.40 each, of which 788,450,000 Consolidated Shares (which are fully paid or credited as fully paid) will be in issue.
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other.
Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation thereof will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares not to be allocated to the Shareholders who may otherwise be entitled.

According to the terms of the share scheme, adjustments to the number of Existing Shares under the outstanding share awards will be required upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective. The Company will make further announcement on such adjustments as and when appropriate.
Save as disclosed above, the Company did not have any derivatives, options, warrants, other securities or conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.
Conditions of the proposed Share Consolidation
The proposed Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions:
(i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM to approve the proposed Share Consolidation;
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and
(iii) the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules to effect the proposed Share Consolidation.
Subject to the fulfilment of the above conditions, the Share Consolidation is expected to become effective on Tuesday, 20 May 2025.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions had been fulfilled.
Application for listing of the Consolidated Shares
An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, the Consolidated Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.
None of the Existing Shares is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Share Consolidation becomes effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.
Arrangement on odd lots trading and matching service
In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed Core Pacific-Yamaichi International (H.K.) Limited to provide a matching service, on a best efforts basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares during the period from 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 3 June 2025 to 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 23 June 2025 (both days inclusive). Any Shareholder who
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
wishes to use this matching service should contact Ms. Wanda Lam of Core Pacific-Yamaichi International (H.K.) Limited at Room 1101, 11/F, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong, or at the telephone number (852) 2826 0807 during office hours of such period.
Shareholders or potential investors should note that (i) odd lots may be created after the proposed Share Consolidation; (ii) the odd lots matching arrangement does not guarantee successful matching of all odd lots at the relevant market price; and (iii) odd lots may be sold below market price. Any Shareholder who is in any doubt about the odd lots trading arrangement is recommended to consult its/his/her own professional advisers.
Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares
Fractional Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, if any, will be disregarded and will not be issued to the Shareholders, but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Existing Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.
Exchange of share certificates for the Consolidated Shares
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be on Tuesday, 20 May 2025, Shareholders may, during the period from Tuesday, 20 May 2025 to Wednesday, 25 June 2025 (both days inclusive), submit share certificates for the Existing Shares (in green colour) to the Registrar at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, during business hours, in exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares (in blue colour). Thereafter, share certificates for the Existing Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may be allowed by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each share certificate for the Existing Shares cancelled or each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares, whichever the number of certificates cancelled/issued is higher.
The existing share certificates will only be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes for the period up to 4:10 p.m. on Monday, 23 June 2025, and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. However, the existing share certificates will remain valid and effective as documents of title to the Consolidated Shares on the basis of every ten (10) Existing Shares for one (1) Consolidated Share. The new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be issued in blue colour in order to distinguish them from the share certificates for the Existing Shares which are in green colour.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Reasons for the Share Consolidation
According to the “Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions” issued by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated in September 2024, taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected board lot value should be greater than HK$2,000. The Share Consolidation will result in a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Shares and the value of a board lot. Based on the closing price of HK$0.74 per Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$7.40 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the theoretical value of each board lot of the Consolidated Shares will be HK$7,400.
It is noted that among the factors to consider for investment in a company, investors, in particular institutional and professional investors would compare the company with its peers in the sector, including share price and value of a board lot. As mentioned above, the Share Consolidation will result in a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Shares and the value of a board lot. Furthermore, the value of each board lot is generally known to inversely correlate to share price volatility. The Share Consolidation increasing the value of each board lot would thereby raise the minimum investment threshold for each board lot and reduce speculation in the Shares and share price volatility. By virtue of the Share Consolidation, the Company looks forward to enhancing its appeal, making investing in the Consolidated Shares more attractive to investors, in particular institutional and professional investors, and broadening the Shareholders' base of institutional and professional investors.
The Board believes that the Share Consolidation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group nor result in change in the relative rights of the Shareholders save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which the Shareholders may otherwise be entitled.
In view of the above reasons, the Company considers the Share Consolidation is justifiable notwithstanding the potential costs and impact arising from creation of odd lots to the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Save for the Share Consolidation, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate actions or arrangements, in the next 12 months, which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Consolidation.
No change in board lot size
The Existing Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in board lot size of 1,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain at 1,000 Consolidated Shares.
- 13 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Based on the closing price of HK$0.74 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$7.40 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the value per board lot of 1,000 Existing Shares was HK$740; and (ii) the value of each board lot of 1,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$7,400 assuming that the Share Consolidation becomes effective.
Expected timetable
Set out below is the expected timetable for the Share Consolidation, which is subject to the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Share Consolidation at the AGM and the fulfilment of the conditions to the Share Consolidation and is therefore for indicative purpose only. Any change to the expected timetable will be announced in a separate announcement by the Company as and when appropriate. All times and dates in this circular refer to Hong Kong local times and dates.

In connection with the proposed Share Consolidation, the Board proposes to amend the Existing M&A to reflect, inter alia, the changes in the authorised share capital of the Company from US$800,000,000 divided into 20,000,000,000 Existing Shares to US$800,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares; and to adopt the New M&A reflecting the new authorised share capital of the Company, which will be subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution to be proposed at the AGM and the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

For the avoidance of doubt, Treasury Shares, if any, pending withdrawal from and/or transfer through CCASS shall not bear any voting rights at the Company's AGM.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE BUY-BACK MANDATE
The following is the explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the Buy-back Mandate, and neither the explanatory statement nor any proposed Share buy-back pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate has any unusual features:
LISTING RULES
The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to buy back their fully-paid up shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
SHAREHOLDERS' APPROVAL
The Listing Rules provide that all on-market share buy-backs by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by specific approval of a particular transaction or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such buy-backs.
SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total issued share capital of the Company comprised 7,884,500,000 Shares of US$0.04 each and the Company did not hold any Treasury Shares. Subject to passing of the ordinary resolution approving the Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares will be issued, purchased or bought back prior to the Annual General Meeting, exercise in full of the Buy-back Mandate can result in up to 788,450,000 Shares (excluding any Treasury Shares) could be bought back by the Company during the period from 16 May 2025, being the date of the Annual General Meeting, 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 or any applicable law to be held; and (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given to the Board under the ordinary resolution approving the Buy-back Mandate by passing of an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
REASONS FOR BUY-BACK
The Board believes that the value of the Shares traded on-market was undervalued. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that Share buy-backs are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
FUNDING OF BUY-BACK
Buy-back must be made out of funds which are legally available for such purpose in accordance with all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE BUY-BACK MANDATE
Any buy-back by the Company may be made out of the profits of the Company or out of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the buy-back or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Act, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on the buy-back, out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the Companies Act, out of capital.
The Directors consider that the exercise in full of the Buy-back Mandate to buy back Shares might have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company as compared with its financial position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.
However, no buy-back will be made in circumstances that may have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company unless the Directors consider that such buy-backs are in the best interests of the Company notwithstanding such material adverse impact.
GENERAL
The Company confirms that the explanatory statement set out in this Appendix I contains the information required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules and that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has unusual features.
Following a repurchase of Shares, the Company may cancel any repurchased Shares and/or hold them as Treasury Shares subject to, among others, market conditions and its capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases, which may change due to evolving circumstances.
For any Treasury Shares of the Company deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall, upon approval by the Board, implement the below interim measures which include (without limitation):
(i) procuring its broker not to give any instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings for the Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS;
(ii) in the case of dividends or distributions (if any and where applicable), withdrawing 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 relevant record date for the dividend or distributions; and
(iii) taking 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.

THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a buy-back of Shares by the Company, 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. Accordingly, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of shareholding interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
Based on information that is publicly available to the Company and within the knowledge of the Directors as at the Latest Practicable Date, Hon Hai (through Foxconn Far East) was interested in a total of 5,081,034,525 Shares, representing approximately $64.44\%$ of the total number of issued Shares as at such date. In the event that the Directors exercise the Buy-back Mandate in full, and assuming that there is no alteration to the existing shareholding of Hon Hai and Foxconn Far East, the indirect shareholding of Hon Hai in the Company will increase to approximately $71.60\%$ . Taking into account that each of Hon Hai and Foxconn Far East is already holding more than $50\%$ of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, it is not expected that any buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate would give rise to a mandatory offer obligation on the part of Hon Hai and/or Foxconn Far East under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid and based on information that is publicly available to the Company and within the knowledge of the Directors as at the Latest Practicable
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT OF THE BUY-BACK MANDATE

Also, based on information that is publicly available to the Company and within the knowledge of the Directors as at the Latest Practicable Date: (i) approximately 34.93% of the total number of issued Shares (exclusive of approximately 64.44% of the total number of issued Shares held by Hon Hai through Foxconn Far East as mentioned above, a total of approximately 0.63% of the total number of issued Shares in which the relevant Directors namely Mr. CHIH Yu Yang, Mr. LIN Chia-Yi (also known as Charles LIN) and Dr. KUO Wen-Yi were interested, as well as approximately 0.00009% of the total number of issued Shares held by the trustee, namely Core Pacific – Yamaichi International (H.K.) Nominees Limited, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Core Pacific – Yamaichi International (H.K.) Limited which in turn is a licensed corporation under the SFO to carry out Type 1 (dealing in securities), Type 4 (advising on securities) and Type 6 (advising on corporate finance) regulated activities (the "Trustee")) are in the hands of the public for the purposes of the Listing Rules; and (ii) in the event that the Directors exercise the Buy-back Mandate in full, and assuming that there is no alteration to the existing shareholding of Hon Hai, Foxconn Far East, such Directors and the Trustee and that no other Shareholders will cease to be regarded as part of the public for the purposes of the Listing Rules, the percentage of issued Shares held by the public for the purposes of the Listing Rules will decrease to approximately 27.70%, which is over the prescribed minimum percentage of shareholding required to be held by the public under the Listing Rules.
DIRECTORS AND THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as the term is defined in the Listing Rules), has any present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries if the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
No core connected person (as the term is defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company and no such person has undertaken not to do so in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
