In accordance with Article 16.18 of the Articles of Association, Ms. Yi ZHANG, Mr. Robert Taylor NELSEN and Mr. William Robert KELLER will retire at the AGM. All of the above Directors, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

Recommendation of the Nomination Committee

In identifying and selecting suitable candidates for directorships, the Nomination Committee would consider the candidate's character, qualifications, experience, independence, time commitment and other relevant criteria necessary to complement the corporate strategy and achieve Board diversity, where appropriate, before making recommendation to the Board. The Nomination Committee has assessed the independence of the independent non-executive Director, Mr. William Robert KELLER, based on reviewing his written confirmation of independence to the Company pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and confirmed that he remains independent. In addition, the Nomination Committee had considered the criteria set out in board diversity policy (including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional qualifications, skills, knowledge and industry and regional experience) and had evaluated the performance of each of the Retiring Directors for the year ended December 31, 2025 and found their performance satisfactory and valuable contribution to the diversity of the Board. Therefore, the Nomination Committee nominated the Retiring Directors to the Board for it to propose to the Shareholders for re-election at the AGM.

Accordingly, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board has proposed that all the retiring Directors, namely Ms. Yi ZHANG, Mr. Robert Taylor NELSEN and Mr. William Robert KELLER stand for re-election as Directors at the AGM. As a good corporate governance practice, each of the Retiring Directors abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on the respective propositions of their recommendations for re-election by the Shareholders at the AGM.

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

3. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

Pursuant to the resolutions passed at the last general meeting of the Shareholders, a general mandate was granted to the Directors to repurchase Shares.

of the proposed ordinary resolution contained in item 4 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting. The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to repurchase any Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate.

An ordinary resolution in respect of the re-appointment of the auditor of the Company will be proposed at the AGM for consideration and approval by the Shareholders.

6. PROPOSED ADOPTION OF NEW MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Board proposes to amend certain provisions of its existing Articles of Association by way of adoption of the fourth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (the "New Articles and Association") to (i) allow the Company's general meeting to be held in the form of an electronic meeting or a hybrid meeting and provide for voting by electronic means; and (ii) make other consequential and housekeeping amendments.

The legal advisors of the Company as to Hong Kong laws have confirmed that the proposed amendments to the existing Articles of Association conform with the requirements of the Listing Rules and the legal advisors of the Company as to Cayman Islands laws have confirmed that the proposed amendments to the existing Articles of Association do not violate the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 4 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 1,056,605,016 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Buy-back Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Buy-back Mandate remains in force, a total of 105,660,501 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares (excluding treasury shares) in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting during the period from the passing of this resolution until (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company following the passing of the resolution at which time it shall lapse unless, by ordinary resolution passed at that meeting, the authority is renewed, either unconditionally or subject to conditions; or (ii) revoked or varied by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.

2. 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. On the other hand, Shares bought back and held by the Company as treasury shares may be resold on the market at market prices to raise funds for the Company, or transferred or used for other purposes, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association, and the laws of the Cayman Islands, Share buy-backs and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

When exercising the Share Buy-back Mandate, the Directors may, subject to market conditions and the Company's capital management needs at the relevant time of the buy-backs, resolve to cancel the Shares bought back following settlement of any such buy-back or hold them as treasury shares.

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 laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

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 annual report of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025) 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. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY IN PREVIOUS SIX MONTHS

No repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company during the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).

6. MARKET PRICES OF SHARES

The highest and lowest prices per Share at which Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months before and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

| Month | Highest
HK$ | Lowest
HK$ |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2025 | | |
| April | 2.65 | 1.73 |
| May | 2.93 | 1.87 |
| June | 3.54 | 2.58 |
| July | 4.17 | 2.87 |
| August | 3.83 | 3.03 |
| September | 4.70 | 3.40 |
| October | 4.95 | 3.34 |
| November | 3.64 | 3.00 |

| February | 3.32 | 2.75 |
| March | 3.70 | 2.78 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 3.91 | 3.43 |

7. 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.

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 repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

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

8. 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 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.

To the best knowledge of the Company, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of an exercise of the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate.

Any person so elected shall hold office during such time only as the Director in whose place he is elected would have held the same if he had not been removed. Nothing in this Article should be taken as depriving a Director removed under any provision of this Article of compensation or damages payable to him in respect of the termination of his appointment as Director or of any other appointment or office as a result of the termination of his appointment as Director or as derogatory from any power to remove a Director which may exist apart from the provision of this Article.

If he shall be himself a Director or shall attend any such meeting as an alternate for more than one Director his voting rights shall be cumulative and he need not use all his votes or cast all the votes he uses in the same way. If his appointor is for the time being absent from Hong Kong or otherwise not available or unable to act (as to which a certificate by the alternate shall in the absence of actual notice to the contrary to other Directors be conclusive), his signature to any resolution in writing of the Directors shall be as effective as the signature of his appointor. To such extent as the Board may from time to time determine in relation to any committee of the Board, the provisions of this Article shall also apply mutatis mutandis to any meeting of any such committee of which his appointor is a member.
