The consideration
The consideration for the disposal of the Disposed Vessel under the 2025 Heads of Agreement and the 2025 Novation Agreement was US$170 million, comprising (i) the original purchase price for the Disposed Vessel in the amount of US$144.8 million paid or payable to Jiangnan Shipyard and China Shipbuilding under the 2024 Shipbuilding Agreement (as disclosed in the Announcement); and (ii) the premium in the amount of US$25.2 million payable to Lehang Boundless, which was determined between Lehang Boundless and Blue Anchor after arm’s length negotiation and with reference to the (i) the original purchase price for the Disposed Vessel in the amount of US$144.8 million under the 2024 Shipbuilding Agreement; (ii) the valuation of the Disposed Vessel being approximately US$168.03 million in as at 9 November 2026 (the “Base Date”) (being the expected delivery date for the Disposed Vessel) valued by Shanghai Gillion Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. (“Shanghai Gillion”), an independent valuer by using the cost method; and (iii) the market intelligence gathered by the Company from shipbrokers and its own analysis of recently concluded sale and purchase transactions of vessels of comparable size in the market.
The premium in the amount of US$25.2 million was the difference between the consideration for the disposal and the original purchase price for the Disposed Vessel.
Shanghai Gillion is a professional appraisal institution approved by Shanghai State Owned Assets Management Office since 1996 and holds an appraisal qualification certificate issued by the Bureau of Finance of Shanghai. It has the qualifications for various appraisal including but not limited to enterprise appraisal, real estate appraisal, intangible assets appraisal, machinery and equipment appraisal.
There are three generally-adopted methods for appraising the asset value, namely the market method, the income method, and the cost method. These three methods measure asset value from different perspectives. Theoretically, in a perfect scenario, the results yielded by the three methods should be nearly identical. However, due to market conditions, the purpose of the appraisal, the target being evaluated, the information available, the outcomes of these three methods can vary significantly.
The market method will require sufficient information and comparable transactions for determining the value of asset. However, there are very limited ultra large container vessel transactions for comparison in the market. Meanwhile, there are many factors which may affect the value of a vessel including but not limited to the age, the size, the equipment, the shipyard where the vessel was originally built and the date for next drydocking inspection. Such information is private to the transaction parties and may not be obtained by the Company for comparison purpose. Thus, the market method is not practicable for appraising the value of the Disposed Vessel. Meanwhile, as the Disposed Vessel is still under construction and no income has been generated by the Disposed Vessel in the past, the income method is also not appropriate for appraising the value of the Disposed Vessel. By contrast, the cost method is to inquire the market price of the target asset as at the base date. Pursuant to the cost method, the value of asset is calculated by the sum of the replacement cost of the asset on the base date, management costs, and capital costs which is a more appropriate methodology for appraisal of the vessels under the construction. The key assumptions for appraising the value of the Disposed Vessel include (i) the Disposed Vessel can be completed and delivered according to the schedule; and (ii) the cost standard, interest rate, exchange rate and tax rate as of the Base Date is consistent with that on the date of the appraisal report (the "Appraisal Report") prepared by Shanghai Gillion.
Having reviewed the Appraisal Report and the analysis (including the explanatory notes to the Appraisal Report) prepared by Shanghai Gillion, the Board is of view that valuation (including the cost method and relevant multiples adopted) is fair and reasonable.
The market intelligence mentioned above are gathered by the Company from market reports (the "Market Reports") issued from time to time by prestigious shipbrokers with worldwide presence including Clarksons and MB Shipbrokers. The Company has referred to the recent container ship newbuilding price assessment data in the Market Reports, according to which, during November 2025 to December 2025, the worldwide newbuilding price for container ship with a size of 15,000 TEU was approximately US$160 million and that for container ship with LNG dual-fuel engine (being a more advanced version) and with a size of 13,000 TEU to 15,000 TEU ranged from US$172 million to US$195 million (the "Comparable Quotations").
Clarksons is a shipbroking group in London and operates throughout the worldwide. Clarksons also provides research services and is a market leader in providing timely and authoritative information in all aspects of shipping. By leveraging its global presence, Clarksons' intelligence covers over 150,000 vessels worldwide. MB Shipbrokers is a professional shipbrokers company specializing in providing buying, selling, chartering and ship management services to the global shipping industry. MB Shipbrokers has an extensive market network and deep industry knowledge, and is committed to providing customers with personalized solutions to meet their diverse needs in ship transactions. Compared with Clarksons, MB Shipbrokers is more active in the field of ship buying and selling, whose reports can quickly reflect the latest developments in the market. Meanwhile, MB Shipbrokers has a good professionalism in specific areas research especially transaction of ultra-large containership in Asian-Pacific. After considering the factors above, the Board is of the view that despite the Comparable Quotations may not be exhaustive, the intelligence as contained in the Market Reports is representative and authoritative.

Pre-novation of the Disposed Vessel
As disclosed in the Announcement, the new buyer of the Disposed Vessel under the 2024 Shipbuilding Agreement was Bal Container. To give effect to the transactional arrangement under the 2025 Novation Agreement, Bal Container, Lehang Boundless, China Shipbuilding and Jiangnan Shipyard entered into a pre-novation agreement dated 30 December 2025, pursuant to which, Lehang Boundless shall be substituted in place of Bal Container as the purchaser under the 2024 Shipbuilding Agreement and Lehang Boundless shall take over and assume all the rights and obligations of Bal Container under the 2024 Shipbuilding Agreement. The terms and conditions under such pre-novation agreement are identical to the 2025 Novation Agreement in all material respect but are not inter-conditional with or dependent on the 2025 Novation Agreement.
The Group is an integrated cross-border seaborne logistics service provider in the PRC. Such pre-novation arrangement is based on genuine business cooperation needs and is an internal assets reorganization of the Group. Accordingly, the Directors consider that the terms of the pre-novation agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
As none of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of such pre-novation agreement exceed 5%, such pre-novation does not constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company and is not subject to the reporting and announcement under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
The Disposed Vessel
As the Disposed Vessel is still under construction pursuant to the 2024 Shipbuilding Agreement, no net profits were attributable to the Disposed Vessel. The unaudited net book value of the Disposed Vessel as at 9 December 2025 is expected to be US$43.44 million, which is equivalent to the instalments deemed as being paid by Lehang Boundless to Jiangnan Shipyard and China Shipbuilding pursuant to the 2024 Shipbuilding Agreement as at the date of this announcement.
Financial effect and use of proceeds from the disposal of the Disposed Vessel
The net proceeds from the disposal of the Disposed Vessel will be used for the expansion of current business of the Group including the acquisition of high quality targets in the industry and the supplement of cash flow of the Group. Based on the preliminary assessment, the Group will record a gain of approximately US$20.1 million as a result of the disposal of the Disposed Vessel, being the difference between the consideration for the disposal of the Disposed Vessel to be payable to Lehang Boundless being US$68.64 million in aggregate and the unaudited net book value of the Disposed Vessel as at 30 November 2025 being US$43.44 million, after deducting the estimated amount of relevant tax expenses and relevant expenses payable by Lehang Boundless. The actual gain or loss as a result of the disposal of the Disposed Vessel to be recorded by the Group is subject to final audit to be performed by the auditors of the Company.

Reasons for and benefits of the 2025 Heads of Agreement and the 2025 Novation Agreement
The Group is an integrated cross-border seaborne logistics service provider in the PRC. After considering the cost paid by the Group for the construction of the Disposed Vessel and the consideration for the disposal of the Disposed Vessel, the Company is of the view that the transactions contemplated under the 2025 Heads of Agreement and the 2025 Novation Agreement represent a great opportunity for the Group to realize the value of the Disposed Vessel in advance which is expected to bring a net income of approximately US$20.1 million. Such income will supplement the cash flow of the Group, further enhance its financial stability and bring significant financial gains to the Group.
In view of the above, the Directors consider that, the 2025 Heads of Agreement and the 2025 Novation Agreement are not entered into during the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group but the terms of which are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable, in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
