The board of directors (the “ Board ”) of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders and potential investors of the Company that, based on the preliminary unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2022 (“ FY2022 ”) and other information currently available to the Board,

The increase in revenue for FY2022 was mainly attributable to increase in revenue from the Group’s precision marketing and corporate solutions. Benefitting from the volume-based procurement policy, digital healthcare marketing services became an inevitable development trend and the demand of such services from pharmaceutical and medical device companies has increased. In 2022, the number of users of the Group’s Medlive platform and user engagement continued to increase due to the professional medical knowledge content and the enriched medical tools offered by the Group. This further highlighted the business advantage of the Group’s precision marketing and corporate solutions. Furthermore, although the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the normal office practice of the Group and its customers causing delay in the execution of many projects, the Group was able to satisfy
