LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to give you the notice of the Annual General Meeting and the following proposals to be put forward at the Annual General Meeting: (a) granting of the General Mandate to issue Shares and the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares; (b) the re-election of the retiring Directors; (c) the declaration of a final dividend and a special dividend; and (d) the Proposed Amendments and adoption of the New Articles of Association.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

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, approval is to be sought from the Shareholders, pursuant to the Listing Rules, for the General Mandate to issue Shares. At the Annual General Meeting, an ordinary resolution numbered 6(A) will be proposed to grant the General Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and/or deal with the additional Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury Shares out of treasury) not exceeding 20% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue (excluding any treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the General Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 3,134,849,468 Shares (excluding treasury Shares) have been fully paid. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution numbered 6(A) and on the basis that no further Shares are 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 (or sell or transfer (for the case of treasury Shares)) a maximum of 626,969,893 Shares under the General Mandate.

In addition, subject to a separate approval of the ordinary resolution numbered 6(C), the number of Shares purchased by the Company under ordinary resolution numbered 6(B) will also be added to extend the General Mandate as mentioned in ordinary resolution numbered 6(A) provided that such additional value shall represent up to 10% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue (excluding any treasury Shares) as at the date of passing the resolutions in relation to the General Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to issue any new Shares pursuant to the General Mandate.

REPURCHASE MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES

In addition, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares representing up to 10% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue (excluding any treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of the resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate and the Company may hold the Shares so repurchased in treasury.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 3,134,849,468 Shares (excluding treasury Shares). Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate on the date of passing the resolution will be 313,484,946 Shares.

The Board has recommended the payment of a final dividend of HK$0.16 per Share and a special dividend of HK$0.08 per Share in respect of the year ended 31 December 2025. Conditional upon the passing of ordinary resolution numbered 2 by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Thursday, 25 June 2026 to Friday, 26 June 2026 (both dates inclusive), during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered and the final dividend and the special dividend are expected to be paid on or before Thursday, 9 July 2026.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND ADOPTION OF THE NEW ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Board will propose at the Annual General Meeting a special resolution approving the Proposed Amendments and adoption of the New Articles of Association in order to, among other things, (i) align the Articles of Association with the expanded paperless listing regime, the electronic dissemination of corporate communications by listed issuers, and the treasury shares regime under the Listing Rules, and to facilitate the implementation of an uncertificated securities market; and (ii) make other housekeeping amendments.

  • 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company has been advised by its Hong Kong legal advisers and Cayman Islands legal advisers that the Proposed Amendments are consistent with the requirements of the Listing Rules and do not violate the laws of the Cayman Islands respectively.

Details of the Proposed Amendments are set out in Appendix III to this circular and the Proposed Amendments and adoption of the New Articles of Association are subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the Annual General Meeting and will become effective upon the approval by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Set out on pages 37 to 42 of this circular is the notice of the Annual General Meeting at which, inter alia, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and approve the granting of the General Mandate to issue Shares and the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares, the re-election of the retiring Directors and the declaration of a final dividend and a special dividend, and a special resolution will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and approve the Proposed Amendments and adoption of the New Articles of Association.

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative, shall have one vote for every fully paid Share of which he/she is the holder. A Shareholder entitled to more than one vote needs not to use all his/her/its votes or cast all the votes he/she/it uses in the same way.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the proposed resolutions for the granting of the General Mandate to issue Shares and the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares, the re-election of the retiring Directors, the declaration of a final dividend and a special dividend, and the Proposed Amendments and adoption of the New Articles of Association are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 313,484,946 Shares which represent 10% of the aggregate number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury Shares) as at the date of passing the resolution in relation to the Repurchase Mandate, 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.

REASONS FOR AND FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders for 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 Company's net asset value and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Repurchase of the Shares must be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Directors may not repurchase the Shares on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Subject to the foregoing, the Directors may make repurchases with profits of the Company or out of a new issuance of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorised by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Act, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of 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 of Association and subject to the Companies Act, out of capital.

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares and they would only exercise the power to repurchase in circumstances where they consider that the repurchase would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. The Directors believe that if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, it may not have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2025, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or its gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

STATUS OF REPURCHASED SHARES

The Company may cancel any repurchased Shares and/or hold them as treasury Shares subject to market conditions and the capital management needs of the Company at the relevant time of the repurchases.

GENERAL

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

The Directors will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.

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

For any treasury Shares deposited with the 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.

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 of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under 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. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.


APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Orchid Garden Investment is owned as to 40%, 39% and 21% by Osmanthus Garden Investment, Lily International Investment and ShenaLan International Investment, respectively. Osmanthus Garden Investment, Lily International Investment and ShenaLan International Investment are indirectly interested in the Shares through Orchid Garden Investment, therefore, Osmanthus Garden Investment, Lily International Investment and ShenaLan International Investment are deemed to be parties acting in concert. As such, Mr. Song Weiping, Mr. Shou Bainian and Ms. Xia Yibo, together with their respective holding companies (being Osmanthus Garden Investment, Lily International Investment and ShenaLan International Investment), are all deemed to be interested in the total Shares directly held by Orchid Garden Investment. Therefore, to the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Song Weiping, Mr. Shou Bainian, Ms. Xia Yibo, Osmanthus Garden Investment, Lily International Investment, ShenaLan International Investment and Orchid Garden Investment are together entitled to directly and indirectly exercise or control the exercise of the voting power attached to 1,020,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 32.35% of the issued share capital of the Company.

In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Orchid Garden Investment in the Company will be increased to approximately 35.92% of the issued Shares. To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase the Shares to the extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code for Orchid Garden Investment to make a mandatory offer. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase by the Company of its Shares.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors are not aware of any Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.

The Listing Rules prohibit a company from repurchasing its Shares on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the total number of issued Shares would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to repurchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
