LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND BUY BACK SHARES

Pursuant to the ordinary resolutions of the Shareholders of the Company passed by the Company on June 30, 2023, the Directors were granted general unconditional mandates to allot, issue and deal with Shares and to buy back Shares. Such general mandates will expire at the conclusion of the AGM.

At the AGM, separate ordinary resolutions will be proposed:

  • (a) to grant the Directors a general mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares (including any sale or transfer of the treasury shares) in aggregate not exceeding 20% of the total Shares of the Company in issue (excluding treasury shares, if any) as at the date of passing such resolution;

  • (b) to grant the Directors a general mandate to buy back issued Shares not exceeding 10% of the total Shares of the Company in issue (excluding treasury shares, if any) as at the date of passing such resolution; and

  • (c) to extend the number of Shares to be issued and allotted under the Issue Mandate by an additional number representing such number of bought back Shares under the Shares Buy-Back Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue is 2,371,927,200 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolutions approving the Issue Mandate and the Shares Buy-Back Mandate and assuming no further Shares are issued or bought back or cancelled prior to the AGM, and the Company doesn’t have any treasury shares, the Company would be allowed to issue and/or resell the treasury shares of the Company (if permitted by the Listing Rules) up to 474,385,440 Shares and to buy back a maximum of 237,192,720 Shares.

The Issue Mandate and Shares Buy-Back Mandate will end on the earliest of the date of the next annual general meeting of the Company, or the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws and regulations, or the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, an explanatory statement is set out in Appendix I to this circular to provide you with requisite information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the proposed resolution approving the grant of the Shares Buy-Back Mandate at the AGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

In accordance with Article 16.18 of the Articles of Association, at every annual general meeting of the Company one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to, but not less than, one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. Any Director appointed pursuant to Article 16.2 or Article 16.3 shall not be taken into account in determining the number of Directors and which Directors are to retire by rotation. A retiring Director shall retain office until the close of the meeting at which he retires and shall be eligible for re-election thereat. The Company at any annual general meeting at which any Directors retire may fill the vacated office by electing a like number of persons to be Directors.

In accordance with Article 16.18 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Zhu Zinan, Ms. Qin Jiaxin and Mr. Tang Wei shall retire from office at the AGM and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM.

When selecting the candidates for the Board, the Nomination Committee strives to achieve Board diversity by considering a number of factors, including but not limited to professional experience, skills, knowledge, gender, age, cultural and educational background, ethnicity and tenure of service. The Nomination Committee has reviewed and assessed the background, expertise, experience and time devoted of the retiring Directors.

Based on the relevant work experience of Mr. Zhu Zinan, Ms. Qin Jiaxin and Mr. Tang Wei, the Nomination Committee believes that the re-appointment of them can ensure the competencies of the Board in corporate management, financing skills, compliance and governance, etc.

The Nomination Committee has assessed the independence of all independent nonexecutive Directors, including Mr. Tang Wei. All the independent non-executive Directors have satisfied the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules when their written confirmations of independence submitted to the Company are reviewed. The Board believes that Mr. Tang Wei has devoted sufficient time to performing his duties as an independent non-executive Director of the Company.

Particulars of the Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

4. RE-APPOINTMENT OF THE AUDITOR

The current auditor of the Company, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, will retire at the AGM and, being eligible, offer for re-appointment as auditor of the Company.

Yours faithfully, By order of the Board Joy Spreader Group Inc. Zhu Zinan Chairman

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARES BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the grant of the Shares Buy-Back Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company amounted to HK$23,719.272, comprising 2,371,927,200 Shares of HK$0.00001 each.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in resolution numbered 8 of the notice of the AGM in respect of the grant of the Shares Buy-Back Mandate, on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company (i.e. 2,371,927,200 Shares) as at the date of the AGM remains unchanged, the Directors would be authorised under the Shares Buy-Back Mandate to buy back, during the period in which the Shares Buy-Back Mandate remains in force, up to 237,192,720 Shares, representing 10% of the total issued Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) as at the date of the AGM.

2. REASONS FOR SHARES BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that the granting by shareholders of a general mandate to the directors to buy back Shares in the market is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Shares Buy-Back will only be made when the Directors believe that such buy back will be in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Such buy-back may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, result in an enhancement of the Company and its net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share if the Board resolves to cancel the Shares bought back. On the other hand, Shares bought back by the Company and held as treasury shares may provide more flexibility to the Board to resell the treasury shares on the market prices to raise additional funds for the Company, or transfer or use for share grants under share schemes that comply with Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules and for other purposes permitted under the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

3. FUNDING OF SHARES BUY-BACK

The Company is authorised under its Articles of Association to buy back its Shares. In buying back Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Directors shall not buy back Shares on the Stock Exchange for non-cash consideration or by means of settlement other than as provided for under the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Any buy back of Shares will be financed out of the profits or share premium of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made in connection

– 9 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARES BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

with the buy-back or, if the Cayman Companies Act is complied with, out of capital; if any premium is payable on a buy-back of Shares, it shall be paid out of the profits of the Company or out of amounts standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if the Cayman Companies Act is complied with, out of capital.

Following the buy-back of Shares, the Company may cancel such Shares bought back or hold them as treasury shares, subject to market conditions and the Group’s capital management needs at the relevant time of the buy-back.

For any treasury shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall (i) procure its broker not to give any instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings of the Company for its 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 the Company’s name as treasury shares or cancel them, or adopt any other measures to ensure that it would not exercise any shareholders’ rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those shares were registered in the Company’s own name as treasury shares, before the record date for the dividends or distributions.

4. IMPACT OF SHARES BUY-BACK

The Directors consider that even if the Shares Buy-Back Mandate is to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period, it would not have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing levels of the Company (as compared with the financial position disclosed in its latest audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023). However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Shares Buy-Back Mandate to such extent as it would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company.

5. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the Shares Buy-Back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders, to sell the Shares to the Company.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell the Shares to the Company, nor has undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Shares Buy-Back Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARES BUY-BACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

6. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors undertake that so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make buy-back under the Shares Buy-Back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the laws of the Cayman Islands.

The Directors confirm, to the best of their knowledge and belief, that neither this Explanatory Statement nor the proposed buy-back of shares under the Shares Buy-Back Mandate has any unusual features.

7. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a buy-back of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase shall be treated as an acquisition pursuant to Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Therefore, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge and belief, none of them is aware that any Shares buy-back pursuant to the Shares Buy-Back Mandate would result in any Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert being required to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The Directors do not intend to exercise the Shares Buy-Back Mandate to such an extent as to trigger an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code or to result in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.

8. SHARES BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has purchased or sold any of the Company’s listed securities.

Save as disclosed above, during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, no Shares had been bought back by the Company, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise.
