CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
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.

To the Shareholders
Dear Sirs,
PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE 2025 SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is 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 (i) the proposed adoption of the 2025 Share Option Scheme; and (ii) to send you the notice of the EGM.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE 2025 SHARE OPTION SCHEME
2015 Share Option Scheme
The 2015 Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company by way of a shareholder’s resolution passed on 20 May 2015. The 2015 Share Option Scheme has a term of 10 years from its adoption date and expired on 19 May 2025 and no further options can be granted thereunder. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were no outstanding options under the 2015 Share Option Scheme.
Proposed adoption of the 2025 Share Option Scheme
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was no other share scheme (as defined under Chapter 23 of the GEM Listing Rules) in effect. In view of the expiration of the 2015 Share Option Scheme and in order to provide appropriate incentives or rewards to suitable and eligible persons for their contribution or potential contribution to the Group, the Board proposes to seek approval by the Shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution at the EGM to adopt the 2025 Share Option Scheme in accordance with Chapter 23 of the GEM Listing Rules. A summary of the principal terms of the Scheme Rules of the 2025 Share Option Scheme is set out in the appendix to this circular.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board had no intention to grant any Options under the 2025 Share Option Scheme.
Conditions of the 2025 Share Option Scheme
The 2025 Share Option Scheme will take effect upon satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) the passing of the necessary resolutions by the Shareholders of the Company in the EGM to approve and adopt the 2025 Share Option Scheme and to authorise the Board to grant the Options to allot, issue and deal with the Shares which fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options under the 2025 Share Option Scheme; and
(ii) the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options granted under the 2025 Share Option Scheme.
An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the new Shares which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Options granted under the 2025 Share Option Scheme.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Eligible Participants
Under the 2025 Share Option Scheme, Eligible Participants include the Employee Participants (which include independent non-executive Directors) and the Related Entity Participants. These categories of Eligible Participants are consistent with the GEM Listing Rules and the eligibility criteria of Eligible Participants set out in the paragraph headed "Eligibility of Eligible Participants" below is also consistent with the purposes of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, which enable the Group to preserve its cash resources and use share incentives to encourage both employees and non-employees of the Group to contribute to the Group and align the mutual interests of the Company and the Eligible Participants which in turn will benefit the long-term growth and development of the Group.
The Employee Participants include independent non-executive Directors. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no specific plans or immediate intention to grant Options to independent non-executive Directors under the 2025 Share Option Scheme. However, the Board supports including independent non-executive Directors as Eligible Participants in the 2025 Share Option Scheme having taken into account: (i) equity-based compensation remains a vital tool for aligning Shareholders' interests with those of all Board members, including independent non-executive Directors; and (ii) the inclusion of independent non-executive Directors in share option schemes is a common practice among listed companies in Hong Kong. The Board believes that having the flexibility to offer Options will enhance the Company's ability to maintain competitive remuneration packages for attracting and retaining talented independent non-executive Directors.
Also, the Board is of the view that the independence and impartiality of the independent non-executive Directors will not be impaired by any potential grant of the Options under the 2025 Share Option Scheme having considered (i) the independent non-executive Directors will continue to comply with the independence requirement under Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules; (ii) approval by independent Shareholders will be required if any Options is to be granted to independent non-executive Directors or any of their respective associates would result in the total number of new Shares issued and to be issued in respect of all Options granted (excluding any Options lapsed in accordance with the terms of the 2025 Share Option Scheme) to such person in the period of 12 months up to and including the date of the grant representing in aggregate over $0.1\%$ of the Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares); and (iii) the Board will be mindful of the recommended best practice E.1.9 of the Corporate Governance Code set out in Appendix C1 to the GEM Listing Rules which recommends that issuers should generally not grant equity-based remuneration with performance-related elements to independent non-executive Directors.
Based on the above, the Board considers the inclusion of independent non-executive Directors fits the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme and is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
In addition to Employee Participants, Eligible Participants also include Related Entity Participants. The Company has not previously granted any Options to Related Entity
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Participants. However, it is considered that apart from the contributions from employees of the Group, the success of the Group might also come from the efforts and contributions from non-employees (including Related Entity Participants) who have contributed to the Group or may contribute to the Group in the future. Grant of Options to Related Entity Participants would not only align the interest of them and the Group, but also strengthen their loyalty to the Group and provide incentives to them for a higher degree of their participation and involvement in promoting the business of the Group; and maintaining a stable and long-term relationship with the Group. Based on the above, the Board considers the inclusion of the Related Entity Participants fits the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme and is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
Pursuant to the Note (1) to Rule 23.03(2) of the GEM Listing Rules, the Company has sought legal advice on the prospectus requirements of the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Chapter 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) in relation to the 2025 Share Option Scheme proposed to be adopted and understands that exemptions may be available from the prospectus registration requirements, provided that the grant of Options made by the Company under the 2025 Share Option Scheme to the Eligible Participants fall within the said exemptions, and in which case the adoption of the 2025 Share Option Scheme would not constitute an offer to public, and the prospectus requirements under the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Chapter 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong) are not applicable.
Eligibility of Eligible Participants
In determining the basis of eligibility of, and the terms of grant of Options to each of the Eligible Participants, the Board will take into account different factors, his/her experience in the business of the Group, the length of his/her service with the Group, his/her contribution to the development and long-term growth of the Group and other factors as the Board may at its discretion consider appropriate.
The Board also has the discretion to impose different terms and conditions on Options to be granted to these participants, which allows the Board to have flexibility to impose appropriate conditions in light of the particular circumstances of each grant, corresponding to the relevant Eligible Participant's contribution or potential contribution (including future contributions to the Group). In particular, the Board would take into account, on a case-by-case basis, among other things, the following factors in assessing the eligibility of the relevant Eligible Participants:
(a) with respect to Employee Participant: (i) their individual performance; (ii) their time commitment (full-time or part-time), responsibilities or employment conditions with reference to the prevailing market practice and industry standard; (iii) the length of their engagement with the Group; and (iv) their individual contributions or potential contributions towards the development and growth of the Group.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(b) with respect to Related Entity Participant: (i) the positive impact brought by, or expected from, the Related Entity Participant on the Group’s business in terms of, amongst other things, actual or expected change in the Group’s revenue or profits and/or an addition of expertise to the Group attributable to them; (ii) the length of their collaborative relationship established with the Group; (iii) their participation and contribution to the development of the Group and/or the extent of benefits and synergies brought to the Group, which may include the degree of their involvement in and/or cooperation with the Group; (iv) whether the Related Entity Participant have provided measurable assistance to improve any aspect of the Group’s business, such as to refer or introduce new business opportunities to the Group or increase its existing market share; and (v) the amount of actual or potential support, assistance, guidance, advice, effort and contribution that they are likely to be able to give or contribute towards the success of the Group.
The Related Entity Participants who may be selected as Grantees under the 2025 Share Option Scheme are limited to those who provide advisory or consultancy services to the Group on a continuing or recurring basis akin to those of the employees of the Group in the Company’s ordinary and usual course of business and which are conducive to the long-term growth of the Group. The Directors are of the view that although they are not employees of the Group, their specific industry and professional knowledge which will provide insights and expertise to the Group would make contributions in ways that are similar to the Employee Participants under the 2025 Share Option Scheme.
Although there were no Related Entity Participants with which the Group may have any business dealings as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board does not rule out the possibility that there may be business expansion or development in the future resulting in the formation of joint ventures arising from referral or introduction of new opportunities or by tapping into specific knowledge or pre-existing expertise on certain operational areas and guidance or the Related Entity Participants which to support and assist the Group’s long-term development. As such, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) is of the view that the inclusion of Related Entity Participants in the 2025 Share Option Scheme is designed to align with the Group’s potential business plan by extending incentives to staff of future joint ventures which may be established, which Directors believe to be consistent with the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme of aligning mutual interest between the Group and Eligible Participants and motivating contributions to the Group, thereby serving the long-term interests of the Company and its Shareholders.
Having considered the basis of determining the eligibility of the Eligible Participants, in particular with respect to those applicable to the Related Entity Participants, and the factors above, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that (i) the inclusion of the Related Entity Participants as Eligible Participants is in line with the Company’s business needs and the industry norm of providing equity-based payment to stakeholders in order to align interests and incentivise performance and contribution, as it is desirable and necessary to sustain and foster these business relationships on a long-term basis; and (ii) it is advantageous to foster a sustainable, stable and collaborative

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
relationship with the Related Entity Participants which is vital to the Group's business development. Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the criteria for the selection of the Eligible Participants and the inclusion of the Related Entity Participants in the 2025 Share Option Scheme, and the discretion afforded to the Board to impose different terms and conditions (including but not limited to performance targets and vesting conditions) on the Options to be granted to such selected Eligible Participants, are in line with the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme and the Group's business needs and are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Vesting period
The vesting period for Options under the 2025 Share Option Scheme shall be determined by the Board, and in any case, shall not be less than 12 months from (and including) the Offer Date. To ensure the practicability in fully attaining the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, for Employee Participants, the Board and the Remuneration Committee of the Board are of the view that (i) there are certain instances where a strict 12-month vesting requirement would not work or would not be fair to the Grantee, such as those set out in paragraphs 7(a) to (f) of the appendix to this circular; (ii) there is a need for the Group to retain flexibility to reward exceptional performers with accelerated vesting or in exceptional circumstances where justified; and (iii) the Group should be allowed discretion to formulate its own talent recruitment and retention strategies in response to changing market conditions and industry competition, and thus should have flexibility to impose vesting conditions such as performance-based vesting conditions instead of time-based vesting criteria depending on individual circumstances. Hence, the Board is of the view, which view is concurred by the Remuneration Committee of the Board, that the shorter vesting period prescribed in paragraphs 7(a) to (f) of the appendix to this circular, which is available to Employee Participants, is in line with the market practice, is appropriate and aligns with the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme.
Scheme Limit
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 30,008,000 Shares and the Company held no Treasury Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital during the period between the Latest Practicable Date and the Adoption Date, the total number of Shares in respect of all Options to be granted under the 2025 Share Option Scheme together with all options and awards which may be granted under any other share scheme(s) for the time being of the Company will be 3,000,800 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) as of the Adoption Date.
The Company may issue new Shares and/or utilise Treasury Shares (if any) to satisfy grant of the Options under the 2025 Share Option Scheme to the extent permitted by the GEM Listing Rules, all applicable laws and regulations and the Articles of Association. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no Treasury Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Performance Targets
Subject to the Scheme Rules of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, the GEM Listing Rules and any applicable laws and regulations, the Board or the committee of the Board or person(s) to which the Board has delegated its authority shall have the power to determine such performance targets or other criteria or conditions for vesting of the Options in its sole and absolute discretion. The performance target, if any, shall be based on the performance of the Eligible Participant and/or the operating or financial performance of the Group including but not limited to (i) business performance and financial performance of the Group such as the profit before tax of the Group; (ii) attaining of corporate goals; (iii) individual performance appraisal; and/or (iv) other criteria to be determined by the Board as its absolute discretion from time to time, which shall be set out in the relevant offer letter in relation to the grant of Options issued to each selected Eligible Participant. The Board considered that such performance targets will align with the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme by remunerating the Eligible Participants with equity incentives that recognise their contributions on the long-term growth and development of the Group.
Clawback
Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, the Board has the authority to clawback any Option that has been previously granted but not yet exercised, without a Grantee's consent, in the event that, among others, a Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Participant under certain circumstances, has been convicted of criminal offence involving his integrity or honesty or has engaged in any serious misconduct or in material breach of the terms of the 2025 Share Option Scheme or the Offer Letter as more particularly set out in paragraph 20 of the appendix to this circular.
Basis of Determination of the Exercise Price
The Exercise Price in relation to each Option offered to an Eligible Participant shall, subject to the adjustments as determined by the Board in its absolute discretion on the date of grant, but in any event, must be at least the higher of:
(a) the closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotation sheets of the Stock Exchange on the Offer Date, which must be a Business Day;
(b) the average of the closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotation sheets of the Stock Exchange for the five Business Days immediately preceding the Offer Date; and
(c) the nominal value of a Share.
The basis for determining the Exercise Price is also specified precisely in the Scheme Rules. The Board considers that such basis will serve to preserve the value of the Company and encourage the Eligible Participants to acquire proprietary interests in the Company.
- 11 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Value of the Options
The Board considers that it is not appropriate and impractical to state the value of the Options that can be granted under the 2025 Share Option Scheme as if they had been granted at the Latest Practicable Date, given that various factors (such as the Exercise Price and other terms and conditions to which an Option may be subject) crucial for valuation cannot be predicted or ascertained at this stage and may vary from case to case. The Board believes that any calculation of the value of the Options as at the Latest Practicable Date based on assumptions would be speculative, not meaningful to, and may be misleading to the Shareholders.
Document on Display
A copy of the Scheme Rules of the 2025 Share Option Scheme will be published on the respective websites of the Stock Exchange at "www.hkexnews.hk" and the Company at "www.guruonline.com.hk" for display for a period of not less than 14 days before the date of EGM and will be made available for inspection at the EGM.
Principal terms of the 2025 Share Option Scheme
A summary of the principal terms of the 2025 Share Option Scheme is set out in the appendix to this circular.
Other information
No trustee was appointed under the 2025 Share Option Scheme. None of the Directors is and will be trustee of the 2025 Share Option Scheme or has a direct or indirect interest in the trustee. In the event that the Company considers to appoint a trustee for the administration and implementation of the 2025 Share Option Scheme in future, such trustee will be independent of the Company and its connected persons. With respect to the operation of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, the Company will, where applicable, comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 23 of the GEM Listing Rules.
To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no Shareholder had any material interest in the adoption of the 2025 Share Option Scheme. Accordingly, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution approving the adoption of the 2025 Share Option Scheme at the EGM.
3. EGM

2. ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS OF THE 2025 SHARE OPTION SCHEME AND THE BASIS OF DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY OF ELIGIBLE PARTICIPANTS
2.1 Eligible Participants include the Employee Participants (which include independent non-executive Directors) and the Related Entity Participants.

3. SCHEME LIMIT

For illustrative purpose and assuming there is no change in the number of total number of Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date (i.e. being 30,008,000 Shares) and the Adoption Date, the maximum number of new Shares that may be issued in respect of all Options to be granted under the 2025 Share Option Scheme together with all options and awards that may be granted under any other share schemes for the time being of the Company under the Scheme Limit is 3,000,800 Shares. The Company may either issue new Shares or transfer Treasury Shares to the relevant Grantee upon exercise of the Options granted under the 2025 Share Option Scheme. Options or awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the 2025 Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company will not be regarded as utilised for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Limit. Options or awards cancelled in accordance with the terms of the 2025 Share Option Scheme and any other schemes of the Company will be regarded as utilised for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Limit.
3.2 If the Company conducts a share consolidation or subdivision after the Scheme Limit has been approved in general meeting, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued in respect of all options and awards to be granted under all of the schemes of the Company under the Scheme Limit as a percentage of the total number of issued Shares at the date immediately before and after such consolidation or subdivision shall be the same, rounded to the nearest whole Share.
3.3 Without prejudice to paragraph 3.4 below, the Company may seek approval by its Shareholders in a general meeting to refresh the Scheme Limit after three years from the (i) the Adoption Date or (ii) the date of the Shareholders' approval of the last refreshment, or at any time within the three-year period subject to the compliance with the applicable requirements under the GEM Listing Rules provided that the total number of Shares which may be issued in respect of all Options to be granted under the 2025 Share Option Scheme and all options and awards to be granted under any

The Company must send a circular to the Shareholders containing the number of Options that were already granted under the existing Scheme Limit, and the reason for the "refreshment".
3.5 The Company may seek separate approval by its Shareholders in general meeting for granting Options beyond the Scheme Limit (or the refreshed Scheme Limit, as the case may be) provided the Options in excess of the Scheme Limit or the refreshed Scheme Limit (as the case may be) are granted only to Eligible Participants specifically identified by the Company before such approval is sought. The Company must send a circular to the Shareholders containing the name of each specified Eligible Participant who may be granted such Options, the number and terms of the Options to be granted to each Eligible Participant, and the purpose of granting Options to the specified Eligible Participants with an explanation as to how the terms of the Options serve such purpose. The number and terms of Options to be granted to such Eligible Participants must be fixed before Shareholders' approval. In respect of any Options to be granted, the date of the Board meeting for proposing such grant should be taken as the date of grant for the purpose of calculating the Exercise Price of such Options. The Scheme Limit shall be adjusted, in such manner as the Auditors or the approved independent financial adviser shall certify to be appropriate, fair and reasonable in the event of any alteration in the capital structure of the Company in accordance with paragraph 15 whether by way of sub-division or consolidation of

The performance target, if any, shall be based on the performance of the Eligible Participant and/or the operating or financial performance of the Group including but not limited to (i) business performance and financial performance of the Group such as the profit before tax of the Group; (ii) attaining of corporate goals; (iii) individual performance appraisal; and/or (iv) other criteria to be determined by the Board as its absolute discretion from time to time, which shall be set out in the relevant offer letter in relation to the grant of Options issued to each selected Eligible Participant.
The Company will evaluate the actual performance and contribution of an Eligible Participant against the performance targets set and form a view as to whether the relevant performance targets have been satisfied. For Employee Participants, each performance target may be assessed either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous years' results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by the Board (or, in case the Grantee is a director and/or a senior manager of the Company, the remuneration committee

of the Company) in its sole discretion. For Related Entity Participants, the assessment will be based on the quality of support provided to the Group and the level of contributions to the Group with reference to the nature and background of the Related Entity Participant. The Board (and the remuneration committee of the Company in respect of grants of Options to the directors and/or senior managers of the Company) shall have the sole discretion in determining whether the relevant performance targets for the Eligible Participant have been met.
In the event Options were granted to the Directors or senior management of the Company without performance targets and/or clawback mechanism, the Company will comply with the requirements under Rule 23.06B(8) of the GEM Listing Rules that the relevant announcement will include the views of the remuneration committee of the Company on why performance targets are not necessary and how the grants would align with the purpose of the 2025 Share Option Scheme.
20.2 Clawback
Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of the 2025 Share Option Scheme, the Board has the authority to clawback any Option that has been previously granted but not yet exercised, without a Grantee's consent, in the event that:
(a) a Grantee ceases to be an Eligible Participant by reason of the termination of his employment or contractual engagement with the Group or related entity for cause or without notice or with payment in lieu of notice;
(b) a Grantee has been convicted of a criminal offence involving his integrity or honesty;
(c) in the reasonable opinion of the Board, a Grantee has engaged in serious misconduct or breaches the terms of the 2025 Share Option Scheme or the Offer Letter in any material respect; or
(d) the Company is required to exercise a claw-back in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, including the GEM Listing Rules, and/or pursuant to a request from any regulatory authority (including but not limited to the Stock Exchange).
Under the above circumstances, the Board may (but is not obliged to) by notice in writing to the Grantee concerned claw back such number of Options (to the extent not being exercised) granted as the Board may consider appropriate. The Options that are clawed back pursuant to this paragraph shall be regarded as lapsed and the Options so clawed back will not be regarded as utilised for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Limit (including the refreshed limit, as the case may be).
