LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions precedent:

The Acquisition is subject to and conditional upon obtaining clearance from the Stock Exchange and obtaining the Board and Shareholders' approval to proceed.

If the above condition precedent cannot be fulfilled within three (3) months from the date of the Provisional Agreement, the Purchaser shall be entitled to rescind the Provisional Agreement without liability and the Deposit paid by the Purchaser shall be refunded to the Purchaser forthwith. If the Purchaser fails to complete the Acquisition other than as a result of the non-fulfillment of the above condition precedent, the Deposit paid by the Purchaser shall be forfeited to the Vendors and the Vendor shall be entitled to sell the Properties to anyone provided that the Vendor shall not take any further action to pursue any claim against or demand any compensation or specific performance from the Purchaser.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board and the written consent from the controlling Shareholders holding approximately 57.5% of the issued share capital of the Company for approval of the Acquisition have been obtained.

If the Vendors fail to complete the sale in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Formal Agreement, the Vendors shall forthwith return the Deposit paid in full to the Purchaser and compensate the Purchaser a sum equivalent to the total amount of the Deposit paid by the Purchaser as liquidated damages for the Purchaser, and reimburse the Purchaser the stamp duty provided that the Purchaser shall not take any further action to pursue any liabilities against the Vendors, including demanding other compensation or specific performance from the Vendors.

The Properties are being sold to the Purchaser on an "as is" basis. Pursuant to the Provisional Agreement, the sale and purchase of the Properties under the Provisional Agreement shall be regarded the sale and purchase of a single property from the Vendors.

Subject to the fulfilment of conditions precedent to be set out therein and the Vendor giving good title to the Properties, it is expected that completion of the Acquisition will take place on or before 31 July 2025.

Consideration

The consideration of the Acquisition was arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Vendors and the Purchaser by reference to information available to the Group based on discussions made with its property agent and the indicative value of the Properties by the Valuer of not less than HK$550 million using market approach before entering into the Provisional Agreement, and the recent transactions of the property market in Hong Kong for properties in the vicinity of the Properties. According to the valuation report of the Properties as disclosed in Appendix III to this circular, the Properties are valued at HK$472 million as at 1 May 2025.

  • 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The initial indicative value of not less than HK$550 million was provided by the Valuer before signing of the Provisional Agreement by the Group on 24 March 2025 based on preliminary assessments prior to receiving the full set of property information, including tenancy details, and before conducting an on-site inspection. Upon further due diligence, including a thorough review of tenancy details and a physical inspection conducted on 1 April 2025, the Valuer identified two material factors that necessitated a downward adjustment to the valuation. Firstly, the Properties were found to have a relatively low occupancy rate, resulting in thinner rental income streams compared to initial assumptions. Secondly, the on-site inspection revealed that the interior condition of the Properties were inferior to initial estimates, requiring additional capital expenditure for refurbishment or maintenance, thereby affecting its market value. These findings were incorporated into the valuation of market value for the final valuation report, resulting in a relatively reasonable and prudent valuation of HK$472 million as of 1 May 2025.

In addition to the property-specific factors, a significant shift in macroeconomic conditions occurred between the initial indicative valuation as of 24 March 2025 and the final valuation date of 1 May 2025. Specifically, the escalation of the tariff war between the People's Republic of China and the United States in early April 2025 introduced heightened uncertainty in global trade and investment flows. Given Hong Kong's role as a major financial and trade hub, this geopolitical tension led to a compression in real estate market sentiment. The Valuer duly reflected this deterioration in market conditions in the updated valuation.

Notwithstanding the updated valuation, the Board maintains that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable for the following reasons: (i) the Acquisition aligns with the Company's long-term business strategy and offers potential upside through redevelopment; (ii) the consideration represents a discount to the final independent valuation, ensuring the Company is acquiring the asset at an attractive entry point relative to its intrinsic worth; and (iii) comparable properties in the vicinity are scarce, and the Board believes the acquisition price remains competitive given the unique attributes and growth potential of the Properties.

The Board, having carefully reviewed the valuation methodology, market conditions, and strategic rationale, considers that the terms of the Acquisition are still fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

The consideration of the Acquisition will be financed by internal resources of the Group.

THE FORMAL AGREEMENT

The Formal Agreement was entered into between the Purchaser and the Vendors on 17 April 2025. The Formal Agreement has incorporated the terms and conditions of the Provisional Agreement (except that in the event of default by the Vendors to complete the sale of the Properties in accordance with the terms of the Formal Agreement, the Purchaser shall also have the right to enforce specific performance of the Formal Agreement or any other rights and remedies to the Purchaser) and other terms commonly found in sale and purchase of properties in the market.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Information of the Vendor

To the best of their knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Vendors are companies incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability, all of which are principally engaged in property investment. Vendor A and Vendor B are wholly-owned by Vendor C and the Vendors and their ultimate beneficial owner, being Mr. Lun Yiu Kay Edwin, are Independent Third Parties.

Information of the Properties

The Properties collectively represent about 86.67% of undivided shares of the 17-storey commercial building named "Kam Chung Building" in the prime location of Wan Chai, Hong Kong. The aggregate saleable area of the Properties is approximately 50,169 sq. ft.

According to the valuation report of the Properties as disclosed in Appendix III to this circular, the Properties are valued at HK$472 million as at 1 May 2025.

Based on the information provided by the Vendors, there are only four units within the Properties currently subject to tenancy, representing about 6% of the total gross floor areas of the Properties. No written tenancy agreements were signed but the tenancies are all terminable by serving one-month's notice. The majority of the Properties have been vacant for an extended period. The unaudited total rental income derived from the Properties in the two financial years ended 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2024 was approximately HK$1 million and HK$1 million respectively. Brief details of the tenancies are as follows:

Gross floor area (sq. ft.) Monthly rental (Gross rental per sq. ft.) (HK$) Government rates/quarter (HK$) Management fee per month (HK$)
Tenancy 1 (rented since December 2013) 869 16,500 (19) 1,845 1,634
Tenancy 2 (rented since March 2018) 1350 27,000 (20) 2,925 3,203
Tenancy 3 (rented since September 2008) 1555 28,000 (18) 4,650 3,703
Tenancy 4 (rented since April 2019) 709 19,000 (27) 2,100 1,689

Save as disclosed above, the Company is not aware of other material terms of the existing tenancies.

Upon completion, the Vendors shall deliver vacant possession of the Properties to the Purchaser.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITION

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of the printing of cigarette packages, manufacturing of paper packaging materials, printing of packages and decoration matters, research and development on printing technology, wholesale, import and export of the packaging products and other related services and leasing of investment properties.

The Acquisition will be part of the expansion of the Group's existing business of leasing of investment properties. While the property leasing experience of the Group involved industrial rather than office properties, the fundamental operational aspects of managing and leasing investment properties are substantially similar across different property types. The core competencies required for successful property leasing include tenant acquisition and retention strategies, lease negotiation and management, property maintenance and facilities management and market analysis and rental pricing. In both industrial and office property contexts, these activities are typically executed through engagement with professional property agents who specialise in matching properties with suitable tenants. The Group's existing relationships with reputable property agencies in Hong Kong, cultivated through its industrial property leasing operations, provide it with access to the necessary expertise and networks for office property leasing. The Board is confident in the Company's ability to successfully integrate these assets into its existing property business.

Regarding the timing of the Acquisition, the decision to acquire the Properties at this time is fundamentally driven by the exceptional price. Over the past three years, Hong Kong's property market has experienced a dramatic price decline from peak valuations, with material rental corrections across core business districts and a significant reduction in transaction volumes. In particular, the Properties have experienced a dramatic depreciation in value, having declined by over 40% from their valuation of approximately HK$842.5 million based on a valuation conducted as part of the compulsory sale application initiated by the Vendors in 2022, to the best of the Directors' knowledge based on publicly available information. The timing of the Acquisition is further strengthened by favorable macroeconomic conditions, particularly the peaking in global interest rates and the growing expectation of monetary policy easing in the near to medium term. As the U.S. Federal Reserve's rate hike cycle appears to have reached its peak, market consensus points toward potential rate cuts ahead. Given Hong Kong's linked exchange rate system, this would likely lead to lower borrowing costs locally. These developments suggest the Acquisition is occurring near the bottom of the current property cycle. The Board considers this a unique opportunity to acquire quality assets at the current attractive pricing, which not only offers capital appreciation as market conditions improve, but also positions the Company to benefit from future rental market recovery and broader economic stabilisation.

Given the current property market conditions, characterised by a notable decline in Hong Kong property prices over the past years, the Board believes that the proposed Acquisition offers a strategic opportunity for the Group to secure the Properties at a competitive price point. As the Properties have been occupied for over 50 years, the Properties are subject to a number of notices, orders and directions issued by the government authorities in Hong Kong (such as Buildings department and Fires Services department etc.). The Directors estimate that the total costs and expenses involved in the remedial or rectification of these notices, orders

  • 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

and directions would not be more than HK$5 million. There is also an adverse possession judgment registered against the building but it has not directly related to the Properties being acquired by the Group nor would it affect the use of the Properties by the Group in future. It is expected that the Properties will be fully refurbished after completion for leasing out in order to have a recurring and stable rental income to the Group.

The Directors remain cautiously optimistic about the long-term outlook for the Hong Kong property market, forecasting potential capital appreciation that could enhance the value of these properties in the long run, based on the city's enduring strengths as a global financial hub and signs of gradual market recovery. Hong Kong's fundamental advantages as a business and financial center continue to support demand for office space. The city's unique position as a gateway between China and global markets, combined with its established legal system and free flow of capital, sustains its appeal to multinational companies and professional services firms. In 2025, market conditions are showing early signs of stabilisation, with vacancy rates improving and leasing activity gradually picking up, particularly from Mainland Chinese companies expanding their presence. While the Board remains mindful of short-term market challenges, it believes that the Acquisition is a well-timed investment that balances income stability with future growth opportunities, ultimately creating value for the Shareholders. The Acquisition would enable the Group to strengthen its investment property business by providing a stable rental income to the Group, alongside its existing core businesses. The Company does not have any intention, understanding, negotiation or arrangement (concluded or otherwise) to downsize, cease or dispose any of its core businesses.

With reference to the announcement of the Company dated 21 October 2021, the Group acquired a company holding a 6-storey building with total saleable area of approximately 32,397 square feet located in Fanling, New Territories, Hong Kong which is used as the Group headquarters after refurbishment since acquisition. Revenue from leasing of investment properties accounted for the Group second largest revenue stream of the Group according to the analysis of revenue in note 5 to the financial statement in 2024 annual report of the Company. The Group has the management expertise in refurbishing properties for leasing purpose.

The Group is now liaising with several authorised persons and will choose one suitable authorised person (the "Authorised Person") among them on demolishing the building works and reinstate the parts so affected by the building works of projecting structures including metal supporting frames, glass panels, cladding, grilles which attached to the external wall and the metal supporting frames and grilles attached to the reinforced concrete cantilevered hood (facing Fenwick Street and Jaffe Road) from 2/F to 14/F of the Property and improve the fire safety of the Property. After Completion, the Group will engage the Authorised Person to work out a remedial proposal and plans of proposed remedial works, and to obtain approval and consent from Building Authority before the commencement of such remedial works. The entire procedures are expected to be completed within 1 year from Completion. The total refurbishment costs are expected to be not more than HK$5 million which will be entirely financed by internal resources of the Group and expected to be settled with 1 year.

  • 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board considers that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable in the current property market conditions, and are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE ACQUISITION

The Properties will be held an investment properties of the Group after completion of the Acquisition. Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group as set out in Appendix II to this circular, the investment properties of the Group is expected to increase by approximately HK$407.0 million, representing the sum of the consideration for the Properties, agent commission, stamp duty and other legal fee and expenses incurred for the Acquisition. However, the total assets and the net asset value of the Group are expected to remain unchanged as a result of the Acquisition, as the increase in investment properties under the non-current assets will be offset by the decrease on bank balances and cash under the current assets.

The Group's earnings are expected to increase in the form of leasing income as a result of the Acquisition after the Properties have been leased out. According to the accounting policies of the Group, the Properties will be initially measured at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure. Subsequent to initial recognition, the Properties will be stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of the Properties over their estimated useful lives and after taking into account of their estimated residual value, using the straight-line method.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14.67(6)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules, for an acquisition of the Properties, which are revenue generating assets (other than a business or company) with an identifiable income stream or assets valuation, the Company is required to include in this circular a profit and loss statement (the "Profit and Loss Statement") and valuation (where available) for the 3 preceding financial years on the identifiable net income stream and valuation in relation to the Properties which must be reviewed by the auditors or reporting accountants to ensure that such information has been properly complied and derived from the underlying books and records. The Company has made an application for, and is granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 14.67(6)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules to include the Profit and Loss Statement in this circular for the reasons that: (a) the Vendors are unwilling to release their books and records relating to the rental income derived from the Properties due to confidentiality as the information is private in nature; (b) only an insubstantial portion of the Properties (i.e. about 6% of the total gross floor areas) is currently subject to the tenancy (which will be terminated before the completion of the Acquisition), and the historical net income generated from these Properties holds limited relevance in evaluating the long-term

  • 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

value of the portfolio as a whole; (c) alternative information about the income and expenditure relating to the existing tenancy of the Properties available to the Company has all been disclosed in the paragraph headed “Information of the Properties” above; and (d) the valuation report prepared under Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules and included in Appendix III to this circular would offer a far more meaningful assessment of the value of the Properties. The Directors consider that the above alternative disclosures provide sufficient information to the Shareholders to assess the impact of the Acquisition and the non-inclusion of the Profit and Loss Statement on the historical rental income of the Properties would not render this circular materially incomplete, misleading or deceptive.

GENERAL

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, after having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene an extraordinary general meeting for approving the Provisional Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. The Company has obtained a written approval for the Provisional Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder from Sinorise International Limited and Profitcharm Limited (being the controlling shareholders of the Company holding in aggregate 901,456,892 Shares, representing approximately 57.5% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date). Such written approval has been accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting of the Company for approving the Acquisition. Therefore, no extraordinary general meeting of the Company to approve the Provisional Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder will be convened pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should be aware that the Acquisition is subject to, among other matters, the fulfilment of certain conditions including titles of the Properties and consequently, the transactions contemplated under the Provisional Agreement and the Formal Agreement may or may not proceed. Accordingly, Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when they deal in the Shares or other securities of the Company.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that the terms of the Provisional Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of the printing of cigarette packages, manufacturing of paper packaging materials, printing of packages and decoration matters, research and development on printing technology, wholesale, import and export of the packaging products and other related services and leasing of investment properties.

With the further relaxation of COVID-19 control policies in the PRC in December 2022 and the subsequent issuance of various policies and measures aimed at stabilizing and recovering the PRC's economy in 2024, the global economy and the PRC's economic outlook remain uncertain due to global inflation, escalating competition between the United States and the PRC on various fronts, the downturn of the property market in the PRC, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the unpredictable impact of the monetary policies of the U.S. Federal Reserve, all of which may adversely affect the PRC's economy and the Group's operating environment in 2025.


APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

On 20 May 2025, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with Hunan Caixin Investment Holding Group Co. Ltd., to dispose of the 31% equity interest of the Group in Changde Gold Roc Printing Co., Ltd., a company which has been performing unsatisfactorily in the past years. The Board considers it would be more beneficial to the Company to divest its investments and utilise the resources and funds to focus on its core businesses and the net proceeds from the disposal would strengthen its liquidity and meet its working capital requirements. Details of the disposal are set out in the announcement of the Company dated 20 May 2025.

Looking ahead, the Group will continue to rely on paper packaging as a solid foundation for the Group's development and seek to maximising income from investment properties. The Group will continue to increase its participation in tenders, while actively expanding into other packaging markets, and will continue to reduce the pressure of decreasing gross profit through measures such as cost control, efficiency boosting and resource consolidation. The Group's corporate mission is to continue to develop ways to improve financial performance, provide growth drivers for the Group and broaden revenue streams within acceptable risk levels. The Group will continue to optimise its asset portfolio and focus on developing core businesses through disposal of non-core assets and businesses. The Group will also continue to explore the possibility of acquisition of new investment, disposal of subsidiary or associate or diversification into other profitable businesses in the interests of the Group and its shareholders as a whole, with a view to achieving sustainable growth, improving profitability and ultimately maximising returns for Shareholders.

5. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the proposed disposal of 31% equity interest in Changde Gold Roc Printing Co., Ltd. held by the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary to Hunan Caixin Investment Holding Group Co. Ltd. as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 20 May 2025 and the unaudited loss estimated at approximately HK$23.4 million which is expected to arise from such disposal (subject to audit), the Directors were not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2024 (being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up).

Directors' responsibility for the unaudited pro forma financial information

The Directors are responsible for compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 "Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars" ("AG 7") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the "HKICPA").

Reporting accountant's independence and quality management

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

The firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Management 1 "Quality Management for Firms that Perform Audits or Reviews of Financial Statements, or Other Assurance or Related Services Engagements" which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting accountant's responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the unaudited pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420 "Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus" issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the unaudited pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the unaudited pro forma financial information.

APPENDIX II

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE GROUP

Reporting accountant's responsibilities (continued)

The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in the Circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Proposed Acquisition at 31 December 2024 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The related unaudited pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
  • The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant's judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant's understanding of the nature of the entity, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

The unaudited pro forma financial information presented below is prepared to illustrate the financial position of Litu Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”) immediately after completion of the Proposed Acquisition at 31 December 2024 as if the Proposed Acquisition had been completed on 31 December 2024.

The unaudited pro forma financial information is prepared based on the audited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2024 as extracted from the annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024.

The unaudited pro forma financial information is presented after making pro forma adjustments that are directly attributable to the Proposed Acquisition and not relating to future events or decisions, factually supportable and clearly identified as to those adjustments which are expected to have/have no continuing effect on the Group.

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared by the Directors in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules, for the purposes of illustrating the effect of the Proposed Acquisition, and is based on a number of assumptions, estimates and uncertainties, currently available information and are prepared for illustrative purpose only. Because of its hypothetical nature, it may not give a true picture of the financial position of the Group had the Proposed Acquisition been completed as of 31 December 2024, where applicable, or any future date. Further, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Group does not purport to predict the future financial position of the Group.

The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the historical financial information of the Group as set out in the annual report of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024 and other financial information included elsewhere in the Circular.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE GROUP

3. NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

(i) The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of the Group as at 31 December 2024 is extracted, without adjustments, from the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2024 as set out in the published annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.

(ii) The adjustments reflect the pro forma adjustments for the Proposed Acquisition.

The adjustments are to reflect (i) the consideration of the Proposed Acquisition of HK$388,000,000; and (ii) other directly attributable costs of the Proposed Acquisition of approximately HK$18,960,000, comprising property agent commission of approximately HK$1,000,000, stamp duty fee of approximately HK$16,490,000, legal fee of approximately HK$1,100,000 and other costs of approximately HK$370,000.

Pursuant to the Formal Agreement (as defined in this Circular), the consideration will be satisfied by cash. The Directors expect that the cash consideration will be solely funded by the Group's internal resources.

The Properties are classified as investment properties as the Group intends to hold the Properties for rental purposes. The investment properties are initially measured at cost (inclusive of transaction costs) and subsequently stated at cost less subsequent accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

(iii) Save as set out above, the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of assets and liabilities does not take into account any trading results or other transactions of the Group subsequent to 31 December 2024, including but not limited to the proposed disposal of the 31% equity interest in Changde Gold Roc Printing Co., Ltd. (常德金鹏印務有限公司) held by the Group announced on 20 May 2025, of which a circular is expected to be published on or before 10 June 2025.

The following is the text of a letter and a valuation certificate prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from Vincorn Consulting and Appraisal Limited, an independent valuer, in connection with its valuation of the property interests to be acquired by the Group.

Dear Sirs,

INSTRUCTION AND VALUATION DATE

We refer to your instructions for us to assess the Market Value of the property interests located in Hong Kong to be acquired by Litu Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) for the purposes of public disclosure. We confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary in order to provide you with our opinion of the Market Value of the property interests as at 1 May 2025 (the “Valuation Date”).

VALUATION STANDARDS

The valuation has been prepared in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards 2024 published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors effective from 31 December 2024 with reference to the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council effective from 31 January 2025; and the requirements set out in the Chapter 5 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

VALUATION BASIS

Our valuation has been undertaken on the basis of Market Value. Market Value is defined as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.


APPENDIX III

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTIES

VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interests in the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the values of the property interests.

No allowances have been made for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property interests, nor for any expenses or taxations which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property interests are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect the values of the property interests.

As the property interests are held under long term leasehold interests, we have assumed that the owner has free and uninterrupted rights to use the property interests for the whole of the unexpired term of the leasehold interests.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

When valuing the property interests to be acquired by the Group, we have adopted Market Approach.

Market Approach is universally considered as the most accepted valuation approach for valuing most forms of property. This involves the analysis of recent market evidence of similar properties to compare with the subject under valuation. Each comparable is analysed on the basis of its unit rate; each attribute of the comparables is then compared with the subject and where there are any differences, the unit rate is adjusted in order to arrive at the appropriate unit rate for the subject. This is done by making percentage adjustments to the unit rate for various factors, such as time, location, building age, building quality and so on.

LAND TENURE AND TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have made enquires and relevant searches at the Hong Kong Land Registry. However, we have not searched the original documents nor have we verified the existence of any amendments, which do not appear in the documents available to us. All documents have been used for reference only.

All legal documents disclosed in this letter and the valuation certificate are for reference only. No responsibility is assumed for any legal matters concerning the legal titles to the property interests set out in this letter and the valuation certificate.

  • III-2 -

APPENDIX III

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTIES

INFORMATION SOURCES

We have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Group. We have also accepted advice given to us on matters such as identification of the property, particulars of occupancy, areas and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are, therefore, only approximations.

We have also been advised by the Group that no material factors or information have been omitted or withheld from information supplied and consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view. We believe that the assumptions used in preparing our valuation are reasonable and have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of information provided to us by the Group which is material to the valuation.

INSPECTION AND INVESTIGATIONS

The property was inspected externally and internally. Although not all areas were accessible for viewing at the time of inspection, we have endeavoured to inspect all areas of the property. Investigations were carried out as necessary. Our investigations have been conducted independently and without influence from any third party in any manner.

We have not tested any services of the property and are therefore unable to report on their present conditions. We have not undertaken any structural surveys of the property and are therefore unable to comment on the structural conditions. We have not carried out any investigations on site to determine the suitability of the ground conditions for any future developments. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be required.

We have not carried out any on-site measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents or deduced from the plans are correct. All documents and plans have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are therefore approximations.

INDEPENDENCE

We are independent from the Company, the directors, the controlling shareholder(s), and the Company's subsidiaries and their respective directors, and we do not have any direct or indirect interest in the securities or assets of the Company, its connected persons, or any associate of the Company.

We do not have any shareholding in any member of the Group or the right or option (whether legally enforceable or not) to subscribe for or to nominate persons to subscribe for securities in any member of the Group.

We do not have any interest, direct or indirect, in the promotion of, or in any assets which have been acquired or disposed of by or leased to any member of the Group, or are proposed to be acquired or disposed of by or leased to any member of the Group.
