However, the Offeror also intends to review the operation and business activities and financial position of the Group to formulate a long-term business strategy for the Group. Subject to the results of such review, the Offeror may explore other business opportunities and consider whether any asset acquisitions/disposals, business rationalisation, restructuring of the business and/or fund raising will be appropriate in order to enhance the long-term growth potential of the Group.

As at the date of this joint announcement, (i) the Offeror has no intention to make material changes to the employment of the employees of the Group (except for a proposed change to the members of the Board at a time no earlier than that permitted under the Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code or such

It is envisaged that his duties as a consultant would be to use reasonable endeavours to carry out the Transition Duties.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The directors of the Offeror consider that the SPA and the Offer provide the Offeror with an opportunity to acquire a majority interest in the Company. To capture the historic opportunities arising from AI-driven global industrial transformation and to further enhance the Offeror Group's core precision manufacturing capabilities, the Offeror intends to promote deep synergies with its existing diversified product portfolio, global customer network, intelligent production capacity clusters and high-barrier technology reserves through acquisitions and integration of quality industry resources. Accordingly, the Offeror intends to acquire shares in the Company and ultimately become its controlling shareholder, following which the Company will become a non-wholly owned subsidiary within the consolidated financial statements of the Offeror.

The board of directors of the Offeror believes that the acquisition will strongly accelerate the implementation of the Offeror Group's medium- to long-term strategic blueprint, namely, "to become a global leader in precision manufacturing, driven by technological innovation, building vertically integrated capabilities across 'materials - components - complete products', deepening synergies

  • 20 -

across four major business segments – consumer electronics, automotive electronics, commercial aerospace and AI hardware – and establishing a sustainable global industrial platform.” Specifically, the acquisition are expected to bring the following benefits to the Offeror Group:

(i) Enhancement of core precision manufacturing capabilities: The Group possesses established manufacturing expertise and technical know-how in the production and sale of notebook computer casings and handheld device casings, which complement the Offeror Group’s existing businesses in structural components, functional modules and complete device assembly, thereby expanding the Offeror Group’s product and customer coverage;

(ii) Strengthening of supply chain resilience: Through integration of the Group’s production facilities and supply chain resources, the Offeror Group can further optimise its global supply chain layout and enhance its flexibility in responding to market changes;

(iii) Improvement of global footprint: The Group’s operations span multiple countries and regions. The acquisition will help the Offeror Group enhance its global production and sales network and strengthen its position in the global precision manufacturing landscape; and

(iv) Realisation of multi-business synergies: The acquisition aligns with the Offeror Group’s strategic vision of “multi-business synergy, full value chain empowerment and global leadership”, and will enhance its overall competitiveness, in line with the Offeror’s long-term development strategy.

IMPACTS OF THE ACQUISITION ON THE OFFEROR

The Offeror maintains a solid operating foundation, with sound profitability and cash flow. The acquisition constitutes strategic industrial integration, with a prudent transaction structure and robust financial arrangements, and will not have any material adverse impact on the Offeror’s overall operations and financial performance.

The transaction follows the principles of openness, fairness and impartiality. The pricing is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Offeror and all shareholders of the Offeror as a whole. There is no situation that would prejudice the legitimate interests of the Offeror and its shareholders.

Accordingly, the directors of the Offeror (including the independent non-executive directors) consider that the terms of the SPA and the Offer are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Offeror and the shareholders of the Offeror as a whole. None of the directors of the Offeror has a material interest in the transaction, nor is any director required to abstain from voting on the Offeror’s board resolutions approving the transaction.

The full text of Note 11 of Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code is reproduced below pursuant to Rule 3.8 of the Takeovers Code:

“Responsibilities of stockbrokers, banks and other intermediaries

Stockbrokers, banks and others who deal in relevant securities on behalf of clients have a general duty to ensure, so far as they are able, that those clients are aware of the disclosure obligations attaching to associates of an offeror or the offeree company and other persons under Rule 22 and that those clients are willing to comply with them. Principal traders and dealers who deal directly

  • 23 -

with investors should, in appropriate cases, likewise draw attention to the relevant Rules. However, this does not apply when the total value of dealings (excluding stamp duty and commission) in any relevant security undertaken for a client during any 7 day period is less than $1 million.

This dispensation does not alter the obligation of principals, associates and other persons themselves to initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever total value is involved.

Intermediaries are expected to co-operate with the Executive in its dealings enquiries. Therefore, those who deal in relevant securities should appreciate that stockbrokers and other intermediaries will supply the Executive with relevant information as to those dealings, including identities of clients, as part of that co-operation."

Application has been made by the Company for resumption of trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange with effect from 9:00 a.m. on 19 May 2026.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
