PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS, PROPOSED GRANTS OF GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES AND NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to give you information on the following resolutions proposed to be tabled at the AGM, so as to enable you to make an informed decision on the resolutions at the AGM to be held on 26 May 2026.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The resolutions include, among others, (i) the re-election of the retiring Directors, (ii) the grant of the Repurchase Mandate, (iii) the grant of the Issue Mandate and (iv) the extension of the Issue Mandate.
RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
In accordance with Article 83 and 84 of the Articles, Mr. LU Ruibo, Mr. WANG Dong and Mr. LEE Siu Ming will retire by rotation at the AGM and, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election. Details of such retiring Directors are set forth in Appendix I to this circular.
Mr. LEE Siu Ming has confirmed his independence with reference to the factors set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Nomination Committee has reviewed the composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skill and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's board diversity policy and the Company's corporate strategy, and the independence of Mr. LEE Siu Ming. The Nomination Committee has recommended to the Board on re-election of all the retiring Directors including the aforesaid independent non-executive Director who is due to retire at the AGM. The Board accepted the recommendations made by the Nomination Committee and considers that Mr. LEE Siu Ming is independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules and will continue to bring valuable business experience, knowledge and professionalism to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and diversity. The Board, therefore, considers him to be independent and believes that he should be re-elected.
REPURCHASE MANDATE
At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase Shares subject to the criteria set forth in this circular. In particular, you should note that the maximum number of Shares that may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be such number which represents 10% of the total number of the Shares in issue (excluding any treasury Shares) as of the date of passing of the resolution, subject to the requirements of the Listing Rules. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,887,285,665 fully paid up Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors and on the basis that no Shares will be issued or bought back by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to buy back a maximum of 188,728,566 Shares.
In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement, which is set forth in Appendix II to this circular.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Company may cancel such repurchased Shares or hold them as treasury Shares, subject to market conditions and the Group's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases.
For any treasury Shares deposited with Central Clearing and Settlement System used within the market system of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (“CCASS”), the Company shall (i) procure its broker not to give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited 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.
ISSUE MANDATE
In order to give the Company the flexibility to issue new Shares when needed without seeking subsequent approval from the Shareholders, at the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors a general and unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares (including any sale or transfer of treasury Shares out of treasury) or to grant any offers, agreements or options which would or might require Shares to be issued, allotted or disposed of, representing up to 15% of the total number of the Shares in issue (excluding any treasury Shares) as of the date of passing of the resolution. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,887,285,665 fully paid up Shares, and the Company did not have any treasury Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of passing the aforesaid resolution, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the aforesaid general and unconditional mandate on the date of passing the aforesaid resolution will be 283,092,849 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the aforesaid ordinary resolutions of the Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate, a separate ordinary resolution will also be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the extension of the Issue Mandate by adding to it the number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate, if granted.
The Repurchase Mandate and the Issue Mandate would expire at the earliest of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or the applicable laws of Cayman Islands to be held; or (c) revocation or variation by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders of the Company in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
This appendix contains particulars that are required by the Listing Rules to be included in an explanatory statement to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.
PROPOSED SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
It is proposed that the Directors be granted the Repurchase Mandate such that they may exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase up to 10% of the total number of the Shares in issue (excluding any treasury Shares) as of the date of passing of the relevant resolution. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of Shares in issue was 1,887,285,665 Shares and they were all fully paid up, and the Company did not have any treasury Shares. Accordingly, the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full (being the repurchase of 10% of the total number of the Shares in issue as of the date of the passing of the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate) would enable the Company to repurchase a maximum of 188,728,566 Shares (assuming no Share is issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the AGM).
The Company may cancel such repurchased Shares or hold them as treasury Shares, subject to market conditions and the Group's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases.
For any treasury Shares deposited with Central Clearing and Settlement System used within the market system of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited ("CCASS"), the Company shall (i) procure its broker not to give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited 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.
REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Whilst it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstance in which the Directors might think it appropriate to repurchase Shares, the Directors believe that an ability to do so would give the Company additional flexibility that would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value for each Share and/or earnings for each Share. The Directors would only make such purchases in circumstances where they consider them to be in the best interests of the Company.
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
In making repurchase, the Company proposes to apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles, the Listing Rules and the Companies Act. Under the Companies Act, Shares repurchased by the Company may only be paid out of profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, subject to the Companies Act, out of capital. Any premium payable on share repurchase may only be paid out of profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account, or, subject to the Companies Act, out of capital.
IMPACT OF REPURCHASE
On the basis of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2025 (being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Company have been made up) and in particular the working capital position of the Company at that time and the number of Shares now in issue, the Directors consider that there might be a material adverse impact on the working capital position and the gearing position of the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full. No repurchase would be made by the Company in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital position or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published audited financial statements).
SHARE PRICE
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Month | Price Per Share | |
|---|---|---|
| Highest HK$ | Lowest HK$ | |
| 2025 | ||
| April | 3.18 | 1.92 |
| May | 2.75 | 2.33 |
| June | 3.05 | 2.42 |
| July | 3.42 | 2.90 |
| August | 4.18 | 2.92 |
| September | 4.46 | 3.30 |
| October | 5.18 | 4.06 |
| November | 6.35 | 4.79 |
| December | 5.40 | 4.50 |
| 2026 | ||
| January | 7.17 | 4.83 |
| February | 8.83 | 6.33 |
| March | 9.01 | 7.14 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 9.25 | 7.93 |
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
UNDERTAKING
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
As of the Latest Practicable Date, none of the core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell his/her/its Shares to the Company, nor has he/she/it undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles and the Companies Act.
The Directors confirmed that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
TAKEOVERS CODES
If on the exercise of the power to repurchase 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 purpose of Rule 32 of the Code.
As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. LU Ruibo was deemed to be interested in 1,357,657,787 Shares, representing approximately 71.94% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue through corporate interests in Impro Development Limited, beneficial interests and spouse interests. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the proposed Repurchase Mandate, then (if the present shareholdings otherwise remained the same) the shareholding of Mr. LU in the Company will be increased to approximately 79.93% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue. Accordingly, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases made under the proposed Repurchase Mandate and the Directors have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeover Code may arise. In addition, the Company will not repurchase Shares to such extent as to result in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.
SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
During the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, there was no repurchase of its Shares made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
