RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN KEENET INTERNATIONAL AND THE COMPANY

Keenet International holds 10% equity interest in Munsun Assets Management Limited, a substantial shareholder of the Company. Moreover, Mr. Koo Yuen Kim (“ Mr. Koo ”), one of the controlling shareholders of Keenet International, indirectly holds 15% equity interest in Munsun Assets Management Limited. Mr. Koo and his spouse also indirectly hold 95% equity interest in the remaining corporate shareholder of the Target Company (such corporate shareholder holds 51% equity interest in the Target Company).

In addition, as Mr. Koo also holds 100% or the majority equity interest in two of the funds managed by Munsun Assets Management Limited respectively, and such funds in turn hold approximately 16.7% shares in the Company in total, the Proposed Acquisition may constitute a connected transaction of the Company.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

The Company and its subsidiaries (the “ Group ”) are principally engaged in exploitation of tin metal and sale of tin concentrates. The Group’s businesses are exposed to cyclical fluctuations in tin metal prices and tin market supply and demand from time to time. The production business of health food, beverage and edible oil of the Target Company may provide a profit source for the Group. Therefore, the Board believes that the Proposed Acquisition, upon completion, will allow the Group to benefit from the more stable income flows from the Target Company, which is conducive for the Group to diversify its business risks.

The Proposed Acquisition is subject to execution of formal legal documentation by the parties. The Board wishes to emphasize that the Proposed Acquisition may or may not proceed with. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
