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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This Appendix I serves as an explanatory statement given to all Shareholders relating to an ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM authorizing the proposed Repurchase Mandate.
This explanatory statement contains all information pursuant to Rule 13.08 and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules which is set out as follows:
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 90,875,248 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the resolution for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate and 16,998,000 Shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the Placing prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 10,787,324 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution, until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.
2. REASONS FOR PROPOSED REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on GEM. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per share of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares.
3. SOURCE OF FUNDS
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands such as internal resources of the Company.
4. EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
Taking into account the current capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, the exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares might have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2021). However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital or on the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
5. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM.
6. DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of Company to make purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Articles of Association, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
7. THE 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 for the purposes of the Takeovers Code.
As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within that term’s meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the shareholders’ interests, 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, none of the Directors or chief executive of the Company and/or any of their respective associates had or was deemed to have any interest or short position in the Shares, underlying shares or debentures of the Company or any of its associated corporations (within the meaning of Part XV of the SFO) (a) which were required to be notified to the Company and the Stock Exchange pursuant to Divisions 7 and 8 of Part XV of the SFO (including interests or short positions which they were taken or deemed to have under such provisions of the SFO); or (b) which were required, pursuant to Section 352 of the SFO, to be entered in the register referred to therein; or (c) which were required, pursuant to Rule 5.46 to 5.67 of the GEM Listing Rules, to be notified to the Company and the Stock Exchange.
