The Board currently comprises seven Directors, of which two are executive Directors, namely Mr. Lo Yuen Cheong and Mr. Lo Yick Cheong; one is a non-executive Director, namely Ms. Chan Wai Ying; and four are independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Leung Wai Tat Henry, Prof. Lo Man Chi, JP, Ms. Chau Wai Yung and Mr. So Kei Wai.
Pursuant to Article 16.2 of the Articles of Association, the Board shall have power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board. Any Director so appointed shall hold office only until the first annual general meeting of the Company after his appointment and shall then be eligible for re-election at that meeting.
Pursuant to Article 16.18 of the Articles of Association, at every annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to, but not less than, one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall retain office until the close of the meeting at which he retires and shall be eligible for re-election thereat. Accordingly, Mr. Lo Yick Cheong, Mr. Leung Wai Tat Henry and Ms. Chau Wai Yung shall retire from office by rotation at the AGM and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election at the said meeting.
Each of Mr. Leung Wai Tat Henry, Prof. Lo Man Chi, JP and Ms. Chau Wai Yung has respectively served as an independent non-executive Director for approximately 10 years.
Details of the retiring Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.
Pursuant to the Company's Nomination Policy, the Nomination Committee utilizes various methods for identifying director candidates, including recommendations from Board members, management, and professional search firms and may review the resume and job history of the candidate, conduct personal interviews and verification of professional and personal references or perform the background checks, etc. On evaluation of the director candidates including incumbents and candidates nominated by the Shareholders according to the requirements set out in the Articles of Association, the Board and the Nomination Committee will take into account whether a candidate has the qualifications, skills and experience, gender diversity, etc. that can add to and complement the range of skills, experience and background of existing Directors by reference to the Board Diversity Policy of the Company and may consider the qualifications as

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
set out in the Company's Nomination Policy to be required of a director candidate in recommending to the Board a potential new Director, or the continued service of an existing Director.
The re-election of aforesaid Directors has been reviewed in accordance with the criteria as set out in the Company's Nomination Policy and the Company's Board Diversity Policy by the Nomination Committee which recommended to the Board that the re-election be proposed for the Shareholders' approval at the AGM.
Mr. Leung Wai Tat Henry and Ms. Chau Wai Yung have served as independent non-executive Directors for more than 9 years and their re-election will be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders. In determining the proposal to re-elect Mr. Leung Wai Tat Henry and Ms. Chau Wai Yung as independent non-executive Directors despite having served as independent non-executive Directors for over 9 years, the Board has, after a thorough discussion and having taken into account of the following factors, concluded that both Mr. Leung Wai Tat Henry and Ms. Chau Wai Yung are still independent and should be re-elected:
(i) the Nomination Committee and the Board have assessed and reviewed the annual confirmation of independence based on, among others, the criteria set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules, and were satisfied of the independence of Mr. Leung Wai Tat Henry and Ms. Chau Wai Yung and were not aware of any circumstances which are likely to question the independence of Mr. Leung Wai Tat Henry and Ms. Chau Wai Yung as independent non-executive Directors;
(ii) the Nomination Committee and the Board have reviewed Mr. Leung Wai Tat Henry's and Ms. Chau Wai Yung's past performance in discharging their duties as independent non-executive Directors, including but not limited to reviewing the attendance record of meetings of the Board and the Board committees, and were satisfied that each of Mr. Leung Wai Tat Henry and Ms. Chau Wai Yung has devoted sufficient time to his/her duties as an independent non-executive Director and discharged such duties through active participation in meetings and has demonstrated his/her ability to exercise independent judgment and provide a balanced and objective view in relation to the Company's affairs;
(iii) the Nomination Committee and the Board have reviewed the biography of each of Mr. Leung Wai Tat Henry and Ms. Chau Wai Yung, and assessed their suitability to be re-elected based on their reputation for integrity and extensive experience in their respective specialist fields having regard to the Board Diversity Policy adopted by the Company; and
(iv) the Board is satisfied that through exercising the scrutinising and monitoring function of independent non-executive Director, Mr. Leung Wai Tat Henry and Ms. Chau Wai Yung will continue to exercise independent judgment and provide objective advice to the Board to safeguard the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the Buy-Back Mandate.
SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, 419,594,000 Shares were in issue and fully paid and the Company did not have any treasury share. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Buy-Back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and bought back prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Buy-Back Mandate to buy back a maximum of 41,959,400 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares) at the date of passing the resolution.
The Company may cancel any Shares it bought back and/or hold them as treasury shares to the extent permitted under all applicable laws, rules and regulations, subject to market conditions and its capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases.
To the extent permitted by the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, for any treasury shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company will adopt appropriate measures to ensure that it does not exercise any Shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in the Company's own name as treasury shares, which may include approval by the Board that (i) the Company would not (or would procure its broker not to) give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS, and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company will withdraw the treasury shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as treasury shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions.
REASONS FOR BUY-BACKS
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Directors to have a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Company to buy back Shares in the market. Buy-back of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such buy-back may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will give the Company greater flexibility to manage its capital structure and improve market liquidity.
FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS
Any buy-back will only be funded out of funds of the Company legally available for the purpose of making the proposed buy-backs in accordance with the Company's Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE BUY-BACK MANDATE
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the Company's audited accounts for the year ended 31 March 2025) in the event that the buy-back of Shares were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the buy-back of Shares to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing levels of the Company.
DIRECTORS AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates have any present intention, if the Buy-Back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries. No core connected persons have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Buy-Back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING
The Directors will exercise the powers of the Company to make buy-backs pursuant to the Buy-Back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Neither this explanatory statement nor the Buy-Back Mandate has any unusual features.
EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If on the exercise of the power to buy back Shares pursuant to the 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 (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the interest of our Shareholders, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code as a result of a buy-back of Shares made.
As at the Latest Practicable Date and according to the register of substantial shareholders' interests in shares kept under section 336 of Part XV of the SFO, Mr. Lo Yuen Cheong, the executive Director and Chairman of the Company, was interested in an aggregate of 305,088,000 Shares, representing approximately 72.71% of the total issued Shares. Such 305,088,000 Shares comprise 4,716,000 Shares held by Mr. Lo Yuen Cheong and 300,372,000 Shares held by the Lo's Family Trust of which Mr. Lo Yuen Cheong is one of the co-founders. Mr. Lo Yuen Cheong, Mr. Lo Yick Cheong and each of their spouses are co-founders of the Lo's Family Trust, which holds the entire issued share capital of Jade Vantage Holdings Limited, which holds 300,372,000 Shares. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Lo Yuen Cheong and Mr. Lo Yick Cheong are deemed to be interested in the Shares in which Jade Vantage Holdings Limited is interested.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Based on such shareholdings and in the event that the Directors exercised in full the power to buy back Shares pursuant to the Buy-Back Mandate and assuming that no further Shares are issued or bought back prior to the AGM, then, the interests in the Company of Mr. Lo Yuen Cheong and the Lo's Family Trust together would be increased to approximately 80.79% of the total issued Shares.
Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any other consequence which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of a buy-back of Shares made pursuant to the Buy-Back Mandate. The Directors have no intention to buy back any Shares to the extent that it will cause the public float of the Company to fall below 25%.
SHARE BUY-BACKS MADE BY THE COMPANY
No buy-back of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
SHARE PRICES
The monthly highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months, and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
