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.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required under the GEM Listing Rules to provide the requisite information to Shareholders for consideration of the Repurchase Mandate pursuant to Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 151,683,840 Shares of nominal or par value of HK$0.20 each and the Company did not hold any treasury shares.

Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are allotted, issued, otherwise dealt with or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 15,168,384 Shares which represent 10% of the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date during the period ending on the earlier of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under the resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting.

2. SOURCE OF FUNDS

The Directors propose that the repurchase of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate would be made out of profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase.

In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds which are legally available for such purposes in accordance with the constitutive documents of the Company, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. The Company will not purchase the Shares on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

3. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE

Although the Directors have no present intention of exercising the Repurchase Mandate, the Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the Repurchase Mandate would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that repurchase of Shares will benefit the Company and Shareholders as a whole.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

4. SHARE PRICES

6. EFFECT OF 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 (as defined in the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the shareholder's interest, 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.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

7. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

(i) As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors nor, to the best of their respective knowledge and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules), had any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders and is exercised, to sell any Shares to the Company or any of its subsidiaries under the Repurchase Mandate.

(ii) As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company had notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or any of its subsidiaries in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

8. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024 (being the date to which the latest audited accounts of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there would not be any material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate were to be carried out in full during the Relevant Period.

The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

9. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

The Company had not purchased any of the Shares (whether on GEM or otherwise) during the previous 6 months.

10. GENERAL

The Company confirms that the explanatory statement set out in this Appendix contains the information required under Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules and that neither the explanatory statement nor the Repurchase Mandate has unusual features.
