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.
Should there be any discrepancy between the English and Chinese versions, the English version shall prevail.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to the Shareholders for 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 Share Buy-back Mandate.
1. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
The GEM Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly purchasing shares from a "core connected person", that is, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective close associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), and a core connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling his/her/its shares to the Company, on GEM.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, no core connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 4,776,019,590 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution no. 6 set out in the notice of the AGM in respect of the Share Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorised under the Share Buy-back Mandate to repurchase up to a maximum of 477,601,959 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM, during the period from the date on which such resolution is passed until the date 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, or any applicable law of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Share Buy-Back Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE
3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares at any time they consider appropriate for the enhancement of long-term shareholder value. An exercise of the Share Buy-back Mandate may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases will be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital from time to time which will be funds legally available under the Cayman Islands law and the Memorandum and the Articles for such purposes.
5. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital and/or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025) in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate was to be carried out in full. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

7. DIRECTORS AND THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
8. CONFIRMATION OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate and in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. If the Company repurchases Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, the Company will cancel the repurchased Shares following settlement of any such repurchase. The Directors confirm that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE
9. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE
If, as a result of a repurchase 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 Rule 32 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 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 Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, (a) Zhong Zhi Xin Zhuo Capital Company Limited ("ZZXZ") and Kang Bang Qi Hui (HK) Company Limited ("Kang Bang"), which are controlled by Mr. Xie Zhikun ("Mr. Xie"), control the exercise of voting rights of 2,409,823,718 Shares and 455,820,525 Shares respectively, representing approximately 50.46% and 9.54% of the total issued Shares; and (b) Mr. HU Shilong ("Mr. HU") (through NINEGO Corporation which is held as to 40.60% by Mr. HU and 59.40% by Ms. Liu, who is the spouse of Mr. Hu, and by virtue of the voting rights entrustment deed dated 28 August 2023 (the "Voting Rights Entrustment Deed") and entered into by and among Zhong Zhi Xin Zhuo Capital Company Limited, Kang Bang Qi Hui (HK) Company Limited and Mr. HU) controls the voting rights of 3,078,284,462 Shares, representing approximately 64.45% of all the issued Shares.
On the basis that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, and in the event that the Share Buy-Back Mandate is exercised in full, (i) the aggregate interest of Mr. Xie in the issued share capital of the Company, through ZZXZ and Kang Bang, will be increased from 60.00% to 66.67%; and (ii) the aggregate interest of Mr. HU in the issued share capital of the Company, through NINEGO Corporation and the Voting Rights Entrustment Deed, will be increased from 64.45% to 71.61%.
Provided that the shareholding of each of Mr. Xie and Mr. HU in the Company does not fall below 50% subsequent to the Latest Practicable Date, each of Mr. Xie and Mr. HU is not subject to any mandatory offer obligation pursuant to Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of the repurchases of Shares by the Company.
The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.
10. SHARES REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company (whether on GEM or otherwise) during the six months immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date.
