The Board comprises nine Directors, including Mr. Wang Qinsong, Ms. Yu Liying, Mr. Wang Jiawei, Ms. Lu Changmei, Mr. Liu Sheng, Ms. Xu Ruijie, Mr. Shao Xiaodong, Mr. Bruno Robert Mercier and Mr. Fan Yongkui.

In accordance with Articles 108(a), 108(b) and 112 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Wang Qinsong, Ms. Yu Liying, Mr. Wang Jiawei, Ms. Lu Changmei, Mr. Liu Sheng, Ms. Xu Ruijie, Mr. Shao Xiaodong, Mr. Bruno Robert Mercier and Mr. Fan Yongkui shall retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. All the Directors are eligible and will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

Each of Mr. Shao Xiaodong, Mr. Bruno Robert Mercier and Mr. Fan Yongkui has confirmed that (i) he meets the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules; (ii) he has no past or present financial or other interest in the business of the Company or its subsidiaries or any connection with any core connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company; and (iii) there are no other factors that may affect his independence. The nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee") has also evaluated and reviewed the written independence confirmations of each independent non-executive Director based on the independence criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, and considered that they remain independent. The Board was not aware of any matter that might adversely affect the independence of Mr. Shao Xiaodong, Mr. Bruno Robert Mercier and Mr. Fan Yongkui. Based on the above, the Board is of the view that each of Mr. Shao Xiaodong, Mr. Bruno Robert Mercier and Mr. Fan Yongkui meets the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is independent for re-election, and will continue to bring valuable financial management, auditing, legal and other expertise to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity.

After considering the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's Board diversity policy, Director nomination policy and the Company's corporate strategies, the Nomination Committee has assessed the retiring Directors on criteria such as integrity, experience, skills and ability to commit time and efforts to carry out duties and responsibilities. In the evaluation, the Nomination Committee is of the opinion that each of the retiring Directors has contributed positively to the Board with his/her extensive knowledge and experience in various fields that are relevant to the Company's business. In addition, the retiring Directors' diversity of experience have enabled them to provide valuable and diverse views, as well as relevant insights to the Board and to contribute to the diversity of the Board. Therefore, the Nomination Committee has made recommendations to the Board on the re-election of all the retiring Directors, including all the above independent non-executive Directors who are required to retire at the Annual General Meeting, and the Board has endorsed the recommendations of the Nomination Committee and recommended all retiring Directors to stand for re-election at the Annual General Meeting. The Board also believes that the Directors who are seeking re-election at the Annual General Meeting have the qualifications and related expertise that will continue to bring valuable contribution to the Board and enhance the diversity of the skills and perspectives of the Board.

Details of the Directors proposed for re-election at the Annual General Meeting are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for 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 Share Buy-back Mandate.

  1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares was 673,454,800 Shares of nominal value of US$0.00002 each which have been fully paid. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back before the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to buy-back a maximum of 67,345,480 Shares, representing 10% of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiry of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by Shareholders in general meeting of the Company revoking or varying such mandate.

  1. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Shares buy-back may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

Pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, the Company intends to (i) cancel the buy-back Shares and/or (ii) hold such Shares as Treasury Shares following settlement of such buy-back, subject to market conditions and the capital management needs of the Company at the relevant time such buy-backs of Shares are made.

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.

  • 18 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

3. FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK

The company may only apply funds legally available for share buy-back in accordance with its Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, the laws of Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be. Subject to the foregoing, the Directors may buy back Shares with profits of the Company or out of a new issuance of Shares made for the purpose of the share buy-back or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Act, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on the share buy-back, out of profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Act, out of capital.

4. IMPACT OF SHARE BUY-BACK

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 audited accounts contained in the prospectus of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024) in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such 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 appropriate for the Company.

5. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during the period from the Listing Date up to and including the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Month Highest HK$ Lowest HK$
2025
May (since 16 May 2025*) 7.20 5.78
June (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 6.05 5.81
  • The Company was listed on 16 May 2025.

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.


APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to buy-back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of Cayman Islands.

The Company has confirmed that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed share buy-back has any unusual features.

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Wang Qinsong and Ms. Lu Changmei, through their trust vehicles and various intermediary subsidiaries, were collectively interested in 365,600,000 Shares, representing approximately 54.29% of the total number of issued Shares. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Buy-back Mandate in full, the shareholding of the foregoing Shareholders would be increased to approximately 60.32% of the total number of issued Shares. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase in shareholding would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.

According to the Listing Rules, a company is prohibited from making buy-back of its shares on the Stock Exchange if the buy-back of Shares of the Company would result in less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the total issued shares of the company would be in public hands. The Directors therefore will not exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent that would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

8. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

No buy-back of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the period from the Listing Date up to the Latest Practicable Date.
