(b) in the case of an allotment and issue of Shares other than for cash, 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing such resolution (less the aggregate nominal amount of Shares (if any) issued pursuant to the general mandate granted pursuant to sub-paragraph (a) above),
provided that, in any event, no Shares shall be allotted and issued pursuant to this general mandate if the relevant price represents a discount of 5% or more to the Benchmarked Price (as defined below) of the Shares; and
(ii) to repurchase Shares whose aggregate nominal amount does not exceed 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing such resolution.
For the avoidance of doubt, the aggregate nominal amount of Shares may be allotted and issued or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be allotted or issued pursuant to the Share Issue Mandate shall not exceed 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the Share in issue as at the date of approving such mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 770,000,000 Shares. On the basis that no further Shares are issued and no Shares are to be repurchased by the Company prior to the date of passing such resolution, the maximum number of the Shares to be issued pursuant to this general mandate shall be 154,000,000 Shares.
For the purposes of the Share Issue Mandate, the "Benchmarked Price" shall be a price which is the higher of:

In addition, their respective educational background, experience and knowledge allow them to provide valuable and relevant insights and contribute to the diversity of the Board.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This explanatory statement relates to the ordinary resolution proposed to be passed at the AGM for the grant of a general mandate to the Board to repurchase Shares of the Company through Stock Exchange. It contains all the information required by the Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against such ordinary resolution.
- SOURCE OF FUNDS
Repurchases must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Bye-laws of the Company and the Companies Act 1981 of Bermuda (the "Companies Act"). A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange.
- SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 770,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each.
If Resolution no. 5 is passed at the AGM, and assuming that no Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the date of the AGM, up to 77,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company may be repurchased by the Company.
- REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Board believes that it is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders for the Board to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market at any appropriate time. Such repurchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.
- GENERAL
There may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the 2025 annual report of the Company) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that there would be a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company and its subsidiaries which in the opinion of the Directors are appropriate from time to time.
- UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that they will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Bermuda.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, 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 interests, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best knowledge of the Directors, the following persons are the substantial Shareholders of the Company as recorded in the register required to be kept by the Company under Section 336 of the SFO:
| Approximately % shareholding | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Name of Substantial Shareholders | Number of Shares held | As at the Latest Practicable Date | If Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full |

| Mr. Webb David Michael (passed away on 13 January 2026) and Mrs. Webb Karen Anne (Note 2) | 77,648,976 | 10.08% | 11.20% |
| Mr. Chang Mun Kee (Note 3) | 56,140,613 | 7.29% | 8.10% |
| JcbNext Berhad (Note 3) | 46,073,030 | 5.98% | 6.65% |
| Preferable Situation Assets Limited (Note 2) | 45,407,408 | 5.90% | 6.55% |
Note:
- As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Lau directly held 103,681,297 shares and was deemed to be interested in 258,135,326 shares pursuant to Part XV of the SFO. 258,135,326 shares were beneficially owned by City Apex Ltd.. ER2 Holdings Limited was the ultimate holding company of City Apex Ltd.. Mr. Lau Chuk Kin owned 69.76% of the issued share capital of ER2 Holdings Limited.
- According to the record kept by the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Webb and Mrs. Webb were deemed to be interested in 77,648,976 shares pursuant to Part XV of the SFO. Of 77,648,976 shares, 45,407,408 shares and 32,241,568 shares were beneficially held by Preferable Situation Assets Limited and Member One Limited. Both Preferable Situation Assets Limited and Member One Limited was 100% directly owned by Mr. Webb and Mrs. Webb.
- According to the record kept by the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Chang Mun Kee is interested in 59.34% of the shares in JcbNext Berhad. Therefore, Mr. Chang is deemed to be interested in the said shares held by Jcbnext Berhad.
In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM, the shareholding of the substantial shareholders in the Company would be increased to approximately the percentages as set out opposite their respective names in the table above. Such increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.
In any event, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to an extent which will trigger off the mandatory offer requirement pursuant to the rules of the Takeovers Code or which will reduce the aggregate amount of share capital of the Company in public hands to below 25%.
