The Company's existing mandate to issue Shares was approved by its then Shareholders on 3 June 2024. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution will be proposed that the Directors be


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

granted a new general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and otherwise deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the total number of Shares (excluding any treasury shares) in issue at the date of passing the resolution.

In addition, a resolution will be proposed to authorise the Directors to allot and issue Shares up to an amount equal to the aggregate number of the Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate subject to the resolution for the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is passed.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares is 1,680,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of passing of the relevant resolution, the maximum number of new Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Issue Mandate will be 336,000,000 Shares.

GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

The Company's existing mandate to repurchase Shares was approved by its then Shareholders on 3 June 2024. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. A separate resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant to the Directors a new general and unconditional mandate to repurchase Shares of not exceeding 10% of the total number of Shares (excluding any treasury shares) in issue as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued Shares is 1,680,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution and assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of passing of the Repurchase Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be 168,000,000 Shares.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in the Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement is to provide Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution relating to the Repurchase Mandate at the Annual General Meeting.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

The Board currently consists of five Directors, namely Mr. Chen Zhi, Mr. Wei Weizhan, Mr. Chan Tsang Mo, Mr. Shen Zejing and Ms. Yip Wai Ching.

In accordance with Article 108(a) of the Articles, at each annual general meeting 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


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

retirement by rotation at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. Accordingly, Mr. Chen Zhi and Ms. Yip Wai Ching will retire from office by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.

In accordance with Article 112 of the Articles, any Director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy shall hold office only until the first general meeting of the Company after his appointment and be subject to re-election at such meeting. Any Director appointed by the Board as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the next following annual general meeting of the Company and shall then be eligible for re-election. Mr. Wei Weizhan was appointed as executive Director with effect from 15 April 2025. Mr. Wei Weizhan shall retire from office at the Annual General Meeting, and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election.

The Nomination Committee, having reviewed and assessed the independence of Mr. Chan Tsang Mo, Mr. Shen Zejing and Ms. Yip Wai Ching, has formed the view that each of them remains independent, having regard to the Board independence evaluation mechanism of the Company and the independence criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, taking into account, among others, their ability to exercise independent judgment in relation to the Company's affairs and their annual confirmation of independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules provided to the Company.

The Nomination Committee has also considered the nomination of Mr. Chen Zhi, Mr. Wei Weizhan and Ms. Yip Wai Ching for re-election at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the Company's needs, nomination policy and board diversity policy, taking into account a number of considerations (including, but not limited to, their respective perspectives, skills, knowledge, experience and the Board's composition and size), and recommended all of them to stand for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

It is noted that the Company has taken and will continue to take steps to promote gender diversity at all levels of the Company, including but without limitation, at the Board and senior management levels. Taking into account the presence of one female Director (namely Ms. Yip Wai Ching) out of the total of five Board members, the Nomination Committee considers that the composition of the Board satisfies the requirement under Rule 13.92 of the Listing Rules and the board diversity policy of the Company.

The Board, having considered the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, believes that the invaluable knowledge and experience of the aforesaid retiring Directors will continue to be of significant benefit to the Company and the aforesaid Directors will be able to continue to fulfil their roles as required. Accordingly, the Board accepts the nomination by the Nomination Committee and recommends all of them to stand for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

Biographical details of the Directors who are standing for re-election at the Annual General Meeting, which are required to be disclosed pursuant to the Listing Rules, are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND PROXY ARRANGEMENT

The notice of the Annual General Meeting is set out on pages AGM-1 to AGM-4 of this circular.

A form of proxy for use at the Annual General Meeting is enclosed herewith and published on the respective websites of the Stock Exchange (www.hkexnews.hk) and the Company (www.geotech.hk). Whether or not you intend to attend the Annual General Meeting, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Company's branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Boardroom Share Registrars (HK) Limited at Room 2103B, 21/F, 148 Electric Road, North Point, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the proxy form shall not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the Annual General Meeting or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules and Article 72 of the Articles, any vote of Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman of the general meeting, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to procedural or administrative matter to be voted by a show of hands.

The Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that (i) the granting of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate; and (ii) the re-election of Directors are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution relating to the Repurchase Mandate.

1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,680,000,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the resolution for granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 168,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of passing the relevant resolution for granting the Repurchase Mandate.

3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase its Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets 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 as a whole.

The Directors confirmed that neither this explanatory statement nor the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Any repurchase of securities of the Company would be funded entirely from the cash flow or working capital facilities available to the Company, and will, in any event be made out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. Such funds include, but are not limited to, profits available for distribution. Purchases may only be effected out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by its Articles and subject to the provisions of the relevant regulations in the Cayman Islands, out of capital. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account, or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the relevant regulations in the Cayman Islands, out of capital.

  • I-1 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

5. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the financial position of the Company as disclosed in the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 contained in the annual report of the Company) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend 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 the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time befitting the Company.

6. GENERAL

The Directors will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the Cayman Islands from time to time in force and the Articles.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no Shares repurchases and did not hold any treasury shares. On the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, the Company will cancel the repurchased Shares following settlement of such repurchase.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

  • I-2 -

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

7. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months up to and including the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:

Highest HK$ Lowest HK$
2024
April 0.084 0.054
May 0.120 0.057
June 0.139 0.058
July 0.109 0.065
August 0.090 0.064
September 0.075 0.057
October 0.080 0.063
November 0.092 0.061
December 0.127 0.078
2025
January 0.100 0.093
February 0.097 0.082
March 0.103 0.082
April (up to and including the Latest Practicable Date) 0.102 0.102

8. TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC SHAREHOLDING

If on exercise of the powers of repurchase 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 Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, 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, Star Merit Global Limited ("Star Merit") hold 920,480,000 Shares, representing approximately 54.79% of the entire issued share capital of the Company. Star Merit is wholly owned by Mr. Chen Zhi, executive Director and chairman of the Board. As such, Mr. Chen Zhi is deemed to be interested in the 920,480,000 Shares under the SFO. For the purpose of the Takeovers Code, Star Merit and Mr. Chen Zhi are parties presumed to be acting in concert.

In the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, then (assuming such shareholdings as at the Latest Practicable Date otherwise remain the same) the attributable shareholding in the Company in which Star Merit and Mr. Chen Zhi are taken to have an interest under the SFO would be increased to approximately 60.88% of the total number of Shares in issue. Such increase would not give


APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE

rise to any obligation to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchase of Shares made under the Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate and will not effect repurchases to such extent which would result in the number of Shares held by the public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25% as required under the Listing Rules.

  1. SHARE PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company has not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding to the Latest Practicable Date.
