CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE "STOCK EXCHANGE")
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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

of Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate; (iii) the proposed re-election of retiring Directors; (iv) the proposed re-appointment of auditors; (v) the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles and adoption of the third amended and restated Memorandum and Articles; and (vi) to give you the AGM Notice and seek your approval of the resolutions relating to these matters at the AGM.
GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES
The Company's existing mandate to issue Shares was approved by ordinary resolutions at the annual general meeting held on 6 May 2025. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandate to issue Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors new general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury shares out of treasury, if any) of up to 20% of the total number of the issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.
In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to add to the Issue Mandate those Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate (if so granted to the Directors at the AGM).
The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Issue Mandate or the Repurchase Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the AGM).
The Issue Mandate allows the Company to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury shares out of treasury, if any) only during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or the laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company (the "Relevant Period").
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 57,000,000 Shares and the Company did not hold any treasury shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are allotted and issued or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorized to allot, issue and otherwise deal with (including any sale or transfer of treasury shares out of treasury, if any) a maximum of 11,400,000 new Shares upon exercise of the Issue Mandate in full, representing 20% of the total number of the issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of the AGM.
The Board notes that, effective from 11 June 2024, the GEM Listing Rules have been amended to introduce flexibility for listed companies to cancel shares repurchased and/or to adopt a framework to (i) allow repurchased shares to be held in treasury and (ii) govern the resale of treasury shares. If the Company repurchases Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the Company may (i) cancel the repurchase Shares and/or (ii) hold such Shares in treasury, subject to the market conditions and the capital management needs of the Company at the relevant time such repurchases of Shares are made. If the Company holds Shares in
treasury, any resale of Shares held in treasury will be subject to the ordinary resolution no. 5 of the AGM Notice and made in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.
GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES
The Company's existing mandate to repurchase Shares was approved by ordinary resolutions at the annual general meeting held on 6 May 2025. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandate to repurchase Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.
At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a new general and unconditional mandate to repurchase Shares of up to 10% of the total number of the issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution. The Repurchase Mandate will allow the Company to make repurchases only during the Relevant Period.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 57,000,000 Shares and the Company did not hold any treasury shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are allotted and issued or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 5,700,000 Shares upon exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full, representing 10% of the total number of the issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of the AGM.
An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate required to be sent to the Shareholders under the GEM Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular to provide the requisite information regarding the Repurchase Mandate to the Shareholders.
RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board consisted of five Directors, namely:
Executive Directors
Dr. Liu Yi ("Dr. Liu")
Mr. Huang Jianying ("Mr. Huang")
Independent non-executive Directors
Ms. Ngo Mei Kwan ("Ms. Ngo")
Mr. Jin Baiting ("Mr. Jin")
Mr. Lu Yi ("Mr. Lu")
In accordance with Article 16.18 of the Articles of Association, 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.
- 6 -
Further, according to Article 16.2 and Article 16.3 of the Articles of Association, any Director appointed by the Board or by ordinary resolution in general meeting either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company. The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting of the Company pursuant to Article 16.2 or Article 16.3 shall not be taken into account in determining who are to retire by rotation at such annual general meeting pursuant to Article 16.18 of the Articles of Association.
In accordance with the Articles of Association, Mr. Huang and Mr. Lu will retire from office by rotation and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election.
At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to re-elect Mr. Huang as an executive Director and Mr. Lu as an independent non-executive Director.
The nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee") had reviewed the independence of Mr. Lu, and the confirmation and disclosure given by Mr. Lu. After due consideration, the Board confirmed that Mr. Lu continues to be considered as an independent non-executive Director and will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity. Mr. Lu had abstained from deliberation and decision in respect of assessment of his own independence.
The Company has in place a nomination policy which sets out, inter alia, the selection criteria (the "Criteria") and the evaluation procedures in nomination candidates to be appointed or re-appointed as Directors of the Company. The re-appointment of each of Mr. Huang and Mr. Lu was recommended by the Nomination Committee, and the Board has accepted the recommendations following a review of their overall contribution and service to the Company including their attendance of Board meetings and general meetings, the level of participation and performance on the Board, and whether they continue to satisfy the Criteria.
Biographical details of each of the retiring Directors are set out in Appendix II to this circular. In consideration of the background, specific knowledge and experience of Mr. Huang and Mr. Lu, the Board believes that they could bring an invaluable insight. Their in-depth knowledge, extensive experience and expertise continue to provide invaluable contribution and diversity to the Board.
PROPOSED RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS
Kenswick CPA Limited will retire as the independent auditors of the Company at the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-appointment.
Upon the recommendation of the audit committee of the Company (the "Audit Committee"), the Board proposed to re-appoint Kenswick CPA Limited as the independent auditors of the Company and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES AND ADOPTION OF THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 8 April 2026 relating to the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles and adoption of the third amended and restated Memorandum and Articles. The Board proposes to make certain amendments (the "Proposed Amendments") to the Memorandum and Articles (the details of which are set out in Appendix III to this circular) and to adopt (the "Proposed Adoption") the third amended and restated Memorandum and Articles incorporating the Proposed Amendments to (i) allow the Company's general meeting to be held in the form of an electronic meeting or a hybrid meeting and provide for voting by electronic means; (ii) bring the Memorandum and Articles in line with the latest legal and regulatory requirements in relation to electronic dissemination of corporate communications; (iii) reflect the uncertificated securities market regime according to the Information Paper on Rule Amendments to Implement an Uncertificated Securities Market and "Issuer Platform" published by the Stock Exchange in May 2025; and (iv) incorporate other consequential and house keeping amendments.
Save for the Proposed Amendments, the contents of the other provisions of the Memorandum and Articles shall remain unchanged.
The legal advisors of the Company as to Hong Kong laws have confirmed that the Proposed Amendments conform with the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules and the legal advisors of the Company as to Cayman Islands laws have confirmed that the Proposed Amendments do not violate the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. In addition, the Company confirms that there is nothing unusual about the Proposed Amendments for a company listed in Hong Kong.
A special resolution will be proposed at the AGM for the Shareholders to, among others, consider and, if thought fit, approve the Proposed Amendments and the Proposed Adoption. The Proposed Amendments and the amended and restated Memorandum and Articles will take effect on the date on which the Proposed Amendments and the Proposed Adoption are approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.
CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS
The forthcoming AGM is scheduled to be held on Friday, 8 May 2026. For determining the entitlement to attend and vote at the AGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 5 May 2026 to Friday, 8 May 2026, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of shares of the Company will be registered. In order to attend and vote at the AGM, all share transfer documents accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited, Suites 3301-04, 33/F, Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong, for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 4 May 2026. The record date for the purpose of determining the eligibility of the Shareholders to attend and vote at the AGM is therefore Friday, 8 May 2026.

VOTING BY POLL
Pursuant to Rule 17.47(4) of the GEM Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Therefore, all resolutions as set out in the notice convening the AGM will be voted by poll and, after being verified by the scrutineer, the results of the poll will be published in the manner prescribed under Rule 17.47(5) of the GEM Listing Rules.
Treasury Shares, if any and registered under the name of the Company, shall have no voting rights at the general meeting(s) of the Company.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required under the GEM Listing Rules to provide the requisite information to the Shareholders for their consideration of the Repurchase Mandate pursuant to Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 57,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are allotted or issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of AGM, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 5,700,000 Shares (which will be fully paid and represent 10% of the Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares, if any) as at the Latest Practicable Date) during the Relevant Period.
2. SOURCE OF FUNDS
The Directors propose that the repurchase of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate would be financed from the Company's internal resources.
In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds which are legally available for such purposes in accordance with the constitutive documents of the Company, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Company will not purchase the Shares on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.
3. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE
Although the Directors have no present intention of exercising the proposed Repurchase Mandate, the Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the proposed Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that repurchase of Shares will benefit the Company and Shareholders as a whole. The Company may cancel Shares repurchased or hold them as treasury Shares, subject to market conditions and the Group's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchase.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
4. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the 12 months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Shares Price | ||
|---|---|---|
| Highest HK$ | Lowest HK$ | |
| 2025 | ||
| May | 0.405 | 0.395 |
| June | 0.560 | 0.405 |
| July | 0.650 | 0.500 |
| August | 0.800 | 0.570 |
| September | 0.710 | 0.560 |
| October | 0.700 | 0.575 |
| November | 0.880 | 0.610 |
| December | 0.720 | 0.590 |
| 2026 | ||
| January | 0.700 | 0.570 |
| February | 0.700 | 0.560 |
| March | 0.640 | 0.560 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.600 | 0.590 |
5. UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Memorandum and Articles of Association, and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, 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 (as defined in the Takeovers Code), 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.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following shareholders had interests representing 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company:
| Name | Shares held | Nature of interest | Approximate percentage of total issued Shares If | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| As at the Latest Practicable Date | Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full | |||
| Topliu Limited | 21,431,442 | Beneficial owner (Note 1) | 37.60 | 41.78 |
| Dr. Liu Yi | 21,431,442 | Interest in controlled corporation (Note 1) | 37.60 | 41.78 |
| Mr. Huang Jianying | 9,105,937 | Beneficial owner (Note 2) | 15.98 | 17.76 |
| Ms. Sun Li | 9,105,937 | Interest of spouse (Note 2) | 15.98 | 17.76 |
Notes:
(1) Topliu Limited is wholly owned by Dr. Liu Yi. By virtue of the SFO, Dr. Liu Yi is deemed to be interested in the Shares in which Topliu Limited is interested.
(2) Ms. Sun Li is the spouse of Mr. Huang Jianying. By virtue of the SFO, Ms. Sun Li is deemed to be interested in the Shares in which Mr. Huang Jianying is interested.
On the basis that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, in the event that the Directors shall exercise the Repurchase Mandate in full, no person is obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code or the amount of Shares held by the public will not be reduced to less than 25%.
The Directors do not intend to exercise the power to repurchase Shares to an extent which would render any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
The Directors will not repurchase the Shares on GEM if the repurchase would result in the number of the listed securities which are in the hands of the public falling below 25%, being the relevant minimum prescribed percentage for the Company as required by the Stock Exchange.
7. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors nor, to the best of their respective knowledge and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules), have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders and is exercised, to sell any Shares to the Company or any of its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company (i) has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares (ii) has undertaken to the Company that he/she/it will not sell any Shares held by he/she/it to the Company, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
8. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE
As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2025 (being the date to which the latest audited accounts of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there would not be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period.
The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
9. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company had not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the GEM or otherwise) in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date. In the event that the Company repurchases any Shares, the Company may cancel Shares repurchased and/or hold Shares repurchased as treasury shares, subject to market conditions and the Group's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchase(s) and in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations.
10. GENERAL
The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Neither the explanatory statement in this appendix nor the proposed Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
For treasury shares (if any) deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company will adopt appropriate measures to ensure that it would not exercise any Shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the relevant laws if those shares were registered in the Company's own name as treasury shares, which may include approval by the Board that (i) the Company will not (or will procure its broker not to) give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings for the treasures deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company will 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.
