CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES
On 28 April 2024, the Shareholders passed the resolution that general mandate to issue Shares (the "Existing Issue Mandate") was given to the Directors to issue, allot and deal with unissued Shares. The Existing Issue Mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.
At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors new general and unconditional mandate to issue, allot and deal with Shares of up to 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of the proposed resolution.
The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Issue Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the AGM).
The Issue Mandate allows the Company to issue, allot and deal with Shares only during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; and (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting revoking, renewing or varying of the authority (the "Relevant Period").
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 468,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and allotted or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, the Directors would be authorised to issue, allot and deal with a maximum of 93,600,000 new Shares under the Issue Mandate, representing 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of the AGM.
GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE SHARES
On 28 April 2024, the Shareholders passed the resolution that general mandate to repurchase Shares (the "Existing Repurchase Mandate") was given to the Directors to repurchase Shares. The Existing Repurchase Mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.
At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to grant to the Directors new general and unconditional mandate to repurchase Shares of up to 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the passing of the proposed resolution. The Repurchase Mandate allows the Company to make purchases only during the Relevant Period.
The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the AGM).
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 468,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued and allotted or repurchased prior to the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 46,800,000 Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, representing 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of the AGM.
An explanatory statement required by the GEM Listing Rules is set out in Appendix I to this circular to provide the requisite information regarding the Repurchase Mandate to the Shareholders.
EXTENSION OF ISSUE MANDATE
Subject to and conditional upon the passing of the resolutions approving the grant of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to extend the Issue Mandate by the addition to the number of Shares which may be allotted or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be allotted by the Directors pursuant to such general mandates of an amount representing the number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate provided that such extended amount shall not exceed 10% of the number of Shares in issue on the date of passing the resolution approving the Issue Mandate.
RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
According to the articles 84(1) and 84(2) of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three (3), the number nearest to but not less than one-third), shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at an annual general meeting at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires.
In accordance with articles 84(1) and 84(2) of the Articles of Association, Mr. Chong Yee Ping and Mr. Lam Pang will retire from office by rotation as Directors at the AGM and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
Details of the retiring Directors who offer themselves for re-election are set out in Appendix II to this circular in accordance with the relevant requirements of the GEM Listing Rules. After considering the details of those retiring Directors, the Board considers that there is no significant factor which casts doubt on their suitability or integrity to act as a Director.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The notice of the AGM is set out on pages 14-16 of this circular. At the AGM, resolutions will be proposed to approve, inter alia, the granting of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Issue Mandate, the re-election of the retiring Directors, and the re-appointment of independent auditors.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 468,000,000 fully paid Shares.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing of such resolution, the Directors would be authorised to repurchase up to a maximum of 46,800,000 Shares, representing 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, during the period ending on the earliest of (i) the date of the next annual general meeting of the Company, (ii) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles of Association or the Companies Act or any other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting of the Company.
2. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE
The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company's funds legally available under the Cayman Islands law, the Articles of Association and the GEM Listing Rules for such purpose.
4. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING LEVEL
An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full might have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company as compared with that as at 30 November 2024, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated financial statements. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

| February (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.76 | 0.44 |
6. DIRECTORS AND THEIR ASSOCIATES
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares in the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM.
7. REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CONNECTED PARTIES
The GEM Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly purchasing securities on the Stock Exchange from a "core connected person", that is, a director, chief executive or substantial shareholder of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or their respective close associates and a core connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling his/her/its securities to the Company.
No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such core connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
8. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, and in accordance with the regulations set out in the Articles of Association.
9. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE
If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors are not aware of any Shareholders, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, based on disclosures made under Part XV of the SFO and to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Company, information on the substantial Shareholders was as follows:
| Name of Shareholders | Capacity | Number of Shares held(1) | Approximate percentage of total number of Shares | Approximate percentage of total number of Shares (assuming the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Delicate Edge Limited (2) (“Delicate Edge”) | Beneficial owner and person acting in concert | 196,560,000 (L) | 42.00% | 46.67% |
| King Nordic Limited (2) (“King Nordic”) | Beneficial owner and person acting in concert | 196,560,000 (L) | 42.00% | 46.67% |
| Liu Yan Chee James | Beneficial owner | 38,220,000 (L) | 8.17% | 9.07% |
| Lam Pang | Beneficial owner | 38,220,000 (L) | 8.17% | 9.07% |
Notes:
(1) The letter “L” denotes the person’s long position in the relevant Shares.
(2) Delicate Edge is wholly and beneficially owned by Mr. Chong Yee Ping whereas King Nordic is wholly and beneficially owned by Mr. Siah Jiin Shyang. Each of Delicate Edge Limited and King Nordic Limited holds 98,280,000 Shares, representing 21.0% of the total issued share capital of the Company.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Mr. Chong Yee Ping and Mr. Siah Jiin Shyang are parties acting in concert (having the meaning ascribed to it under the Takeovers Code) as confirmed by them in writing. As such, each of Mr. Chong Yee Ping, Mr. Siah Jiin Shyang, Delicate Edge and King Nordic is deemed to be interested in 196,560,000 Shares held by Delicate Edge Limited and King Nordic Limited in aggregate under the SFO.
In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full, the increase in the above shareholdings in the Company would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.
The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent that would result in takeover obligation under the Takeovers Code or the public holding of Shares would be reduced below 25% of the issued share capital of the Company.
10. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
