LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED ISSUE MANDATE
The Company’s existing mandate to issue Shares was approved by the then Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 30 June 2025. This will lapse at the conclusion of the 2026 AGM.
In order to ensure flexibility and discretion to the Directors, in the event that it becomes desirable to issue new Shares, approval is required to be sought from the Shareholders, pursuant to the Listing Rules, for the Proposed Issue Mandate. At the 2026 AGM, an ordinary resolution set out as resolution No. 7(A) in the Notice will be proposed to approve the granting of the Proposed Issue Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares (including any sale and transfer of treasury shares), representing up to 20% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares, if any) as at the date of the passing of the resolution in relation to such mandate. In addition, subject to the approval of the ordinary resolution set out as resolution No. 7(C) in the Notice, the aggregate number of Shares bought back by the Company under the Proposed Buy-back Mandate will also be added to the Proposed Issue Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 4,422,990,160 Shares in issue. On the assumption that there is no variation to the issued Shares during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of passing of the resolution approving the Proposed Issue Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be issued pursuant to the Proposed Issue Mandate would be 884,598,032.
PROPOSED BUY-BACK MANDATE
The Company’s existing mandate to buy back Shares was approved by the then Shareholders at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 30 June 2025. This mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the 2026 AGM.
At the 2026 AGM, an ordinary resolution set out as resolution No. 7(B) in the Notice will be proposed to approve the granting of a Proposed Buy-back Mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to buy back Shares, representing up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of the passing of the resolution in relation to the Proposed Buy-back Mandate.
An explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders in connection with the Proposed Buy-back Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular. This explanatory statement contains all information reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the relevant resolution at the 2026 AGM.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 4,422,990,160 Shares in issue. On the assumption that no further Shares are issued and bought back during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of passing of the resolution approving the Proposed Buy-back Mandate, the maximum number of Shares which may be bought back pursuant to the Proposed Buy-back Mandate would be 442,299,016.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
In accordance with Articles 87(1) and 87(2) of the Articles of Association, Mr. Leong Choong Wah (“Mr. Leong”) and Mr. Michael Lai Kai Jin (“Mr. Lai”) shall retire from office by rotation at the 2026 AGM and shall be eligible for re-election. Mr. Leong and Mr. Lai (collectively the “retiring Directors”), being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the 2026 AGM. Details of the retiring Directors are set out in Appendix I to this circular in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules.
Pursuant to code provision B.2.3 of the Corporate Governance Code as set out in part 2 of Appendix C1 to the Listing Rules, if an independent non-executive director serves more than nine years, any further appointment of such independent non-executive director should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders. The papers to Shareholders accompanying that resolution should state why the Board believes that the Director is still independent and should be re-elected, including the factors considered, the process and the discussion of the Board in arriving at such determination.
Mr. Lai, being an independent non-executive Director, is eligible and will stand for re-election at the 2026 AGM. Having been appointed in May 2010, Mr. Lai has served the Board for more than nine years. He has confirmed his independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and has not engaged in any management of the Group. The Board has discussed and considered that Mr. Lai continues to be independent as he has satisfied all the criteria for independence set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Mr. Lai has also provided valuable contributions to the Company and demonstrated his ability to exercise independent judgment and provide balanced and objective views on the Group’s affairs, and stay impartial and independent during his participation in the affairs of the Board and the various Board committees. Moreover, he is not in any relationships or circumstances which would interfere with the exercise of his independent judgment despite the fact that he has served the Company for more than nine years. The Board is confident that Mr. Lai, as a reputable professional with profound experience, in particular in the legal aspect, will continue to make valuable contribution to the Company by providing his balanced and objective views to the Board.
In accordance with the terms of reference of the Nomination Committee, the nomination policy of the Company and the board diversity policy of the Company, the Nomination Committee has evaluated the performance and contribution of each of the retiring Directors over the years of services; and reviewed the independence confirmation submitted by each of them and assessed their independence.
In the evaluation, the Nomination Committee is of the opinion that each of the retiring Directors has contributed positively to the Board with their extensive knowledge and experience in various fields that are relevant to the Group’s business. In addition, their breadth and diversity of experience have enabled them to provide valuable and diverse views, as well as relevant insights to the Board and to contribute to the diversity of the Board. In addition, all independent non-executive Directors met the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Nomination Committee is not aware of any relationships or circumstances that might influence any independent non-executive Directors in exercising independent judgment, and is satisfied that each independent non-executive Director has the required independence to fulfill the role of an independent non-executive Director.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In view of Mr. Leong and Mr. Lai’s professional qualifications, in particular Mr. Lai’s extensive experience in the legal sector and Mr. Leong’s cross-border working experience in a wide variety of industries in Indonesia and China encompassing operations, accounting, financial management and corporate finance and planning in both public listed and private companies, the Nomination Committee considers that they will further replenish the professional knowledge of the Board and contribute to the diversity of the Board. The Nomination Committee is also of the view that Mr. Leong and Mr. Lai will continue to bring to the Board their perspectives, skills and experience (as further described in their biographies in Appendix I to this circular) and provide independent and balanced views on the Company’s affairs. The Nomination Committee has therefore made recommendation to the Board for proposing the re-election of Mr. Leong and Mr. Lai as Directors at the 2026 AGM.
The Board, having considered the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, has proposed the re-election of Mr. Leong and Mr. Lai as Directors. Such proposal will be put forward at the 2026 AGM for the Shareholders’ consideration and approval by way of ordinary resolutions. The Board also believes that the retiring Directors have the qualifications and related expertise that will continue to make significant contribution to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
PROPOSED RE-APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
The Board (which agreed with the view of the Audit Committee) recommended that, subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the 2026 AGM, BDO Limited be re-appointed as the independent auditor.
The final audit fee will be determined based on various factors such as the Company’s business scale, industry characteristics, the complexity of accounting treatment, the number and the seniority of the audit personnel required for auditing the Company’s annual report and internal control, the expected workload, the audit scope, the audit timetable and the prevailing fee standards of the audit firm.
In relation to resolution No. 6 in the Notice, the Board will be authorized to negotiate and finalize the 2026 audit fee with the independent auditor based on the above pricing principles, taking into account the facts and circumstances known as at the relevant date. The audit fee is not expected to deviate materially from historical remuneration, assuming that there will be no material change in the Group’s operations, accounting policies or regulatory environment during the financial year ending 31 December 2026.
ADOPTION OF NEW SHARE OPTION SCHEME
The Existing Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Shareholders at the Company’s annual general meeting held on 20 April 2016 for a term of 10 years commencing on that date. In light of its expiry on 19 April 2026, the Company proposes to adopt the New Share Option Scheme.
Since the adoption of the Existing Share Option Scheme, no share option has been granted by the Company. Accordingly, there were no outstanding share options as at the Latest Practicable Date. Apart from the Existing Share Option Scheme, the Company had no other share option scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Purpose of the New Share Option Scheme
The purpose of the New Share Option Scheme is to provide incentive or reward to Eligible Participants for their contribution to, and continuing efforts to promote the interests of, the Group. The principal terms of the New Share Option Scheme are set out in Appendix III to this circular.
Who May Join
The Eligible Participants of the New Share Option Scheme are any director of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and any Employee, including persons who are granted Options under the New Share Option Scheme as an inducement to enter into employment contracts or service contracts with the Group.
In determining the eligibility of the Eligible Participant, the factors in assessing whether any Eligible Participant is eligible include: (i) the performance of such Eligible Participants; (ii) their time commitment, responsibilities or employment conditions according to the prevailing market practice and industry standard; (iii) their length of engagement with the Group; (iv) their contribution or potential contribution to the development and growth of the Group; (v) alignment of interests with Shareholders; and (vi) retention and motivation potential for granting Options to the relevant Eligible Participant.
The Board notes the recommended best practice under E.1.9 of the Corporate Governance Code in Appendix C1 to the Listing Rules regarding the grant of options or awards to independent non-executive directors (“INEDs”). The Board considers that the INEDs play an important role in the corporate governance framework of the Company and provide independent oversight and balanced judgment on the Company’s affairs. Their inclusion as Eligible Participants is intended to recognize and reward their contribution to, and continuing efforts to promote the interests of, the Group, which is consistent with the purpose of the New Share Option Scheme as set out in Appendix III to this circular. The New Share Option Scheme contains safeguards to protect against any potential conflict of interest, including the requirement that any grant of Options to an INED must be approved by the other INEDs (excluding the proposed grantee), and where such grant would result in Shares issued and to be issued in respect of all Options and awards granted to such INED in the 12-month period representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares, if any), such grant must be separately approved by the Shareholders in general meeting, in compliance with Rule 17.04(3) of the Listing Rules. The Board further notes that no Options have been granted to any INEDs since the adoption of the Existing Share Option Scheme, and the Company has not formulated any plan to grant Options to INEDs under the New Share Option Scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Board considers that the inclusion of INEDs as Eligible Participants provides the Board with flexibility and discretion to recognize the contributions of INEDs in appropriate circumstances, while the multiple layers of approval requirements ensure that the interests of Shareholders are adequately protected.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Maximum Number of Shares Available for Subscription
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total of 4,422,990,160 Shares in issue, and the Company does not hold any treasury shares. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolution at the 2026 AGM, and on the basis that no further Shares would be issued and/or bought back by the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the 2026 AGM, Options to subscribe for up to 442,299,016 Shares, representing 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of the 2026 AGM (excluding treasury shares, if any), may be issued (including any treasury shares which may be transferred, as applicable) under the New Share Option Scheme and any other schemes pursuant to the Listing Rules.
Pursuant to the New Share Option Scheme, references to Shares to satisfy the grant of Options shall include treasury shares (if any), and references to the issue of Shares shall include the transfer of treasury shares (as the case may be, and to the extent permissible by and subject to applicable laws and regulations, including the Listing Rules). The Company may either issue new Shares or transfer treasury shares to the relevant Grantee to satisfy the awards upon exercise of the Options granted under the New Share Option Scheme to the extent permitted by the Listing Rules, all applicable laws and regulations and the Articles of Association.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not hold any treasury shares. The Company intends to retain the flexibility to use treasury shares for the New Share Option Scheme should it acquire any treasury shares in the future.
Grant of Options
While the New Share Option Scheme is in force and subject to all applicable laws, the Board shall be entitled to make an offer to any Eligible Participant, as the Board may from time to time in its absolute discretion select, take up an Option pursuant to which such Eligible Participant may, during the Exercise Period, subscribe for such number of Shares as the Board may determine at the Exercise Price in accordance with the terms of the New Share Option Scheme. The vesting period shall not be less than twelve (12) months from the date of grant of such Option, save as otherwise provided in the specific circumstances as set out in the New Share Option Scheme.
Unless the Board otherwise determines and specified in the offer letter at the time of making an offer, there is (i) no performance target that needs to be achieved by the Grantee before an Option can be exercised in whole or in part; and (ii) no clawback mechanism for the Company to recover or withhold any Options granted to any Grantee. However, the New Share Option Scheme will give the Board discretion to impose such conditions as it sees fit on the Option and specify such conditions (including but not limited to performance targets and clawback mechanisms) in the offer letter for the Option where appropriate (if applicable). The Directors consider it more beneficial to the Company to retain the flexibility to determine whether such conditions are appropriate in light of the particular circumstances of each grant as (1) it may not always be appropriate to impose such conditions particularly when the purpose of granting the Option is to remunerate or compensate Eligible Participants for past contributions; and (2) there are provisions in the New Share Option Scheme which provide for circumstances under which the Options shall lapse automatically in the event that
−10 −
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
the Grantees cease to be Eligible Participants. The Board and the Remuneration Committee are of the view that the flexibility provided to the Board regarding performance targets will enhance the Group’s ability to reward its employees and retain valuable talent that is crucial for the Group’s growth and development.
The Exercise Price under the New Share Option Scheme will be a price determined by the Board and notified to the Eligible Participants. The Exercise Price will not be less than the higher of: (i) the closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheet issued by the Stock Exchange on the date of grant, which must be a business day; (ii) the average closing price of the Shares as stated in the daily quotations sheets issued by the Stock Exchange for the five business days immediately preceding the date of grant; and (iii) the nominal value of US$0.0125 per Share. The Directors consider that such basis for determining the Exercise Price will serve to preserve the value of the Company, while encouraging the Grantees to acquire equity interests in the Company, which aligns with the purposes of the New Share Option Scheme.
Administration
This New Share Option Scheme shall be subject to the administration of the Board whose decision (save as otherwise provided in the New Share Option Scheme) shall be final and binding on all parties. The Company has not engaged any trustee for the administration of the New Share Option Scheme. However, the Board has retained the flexibility to allow the Company to appoint a trustee in the future to assist the Company with the administration of the New Share Option Scheme. If a trustee is engaged in the future, such trustee will not be a Director, and no Director will have any direct or indirect interest in the trustee.
Conditions to the New Share Option Scheme
The adoption of the New Share Option Scheme is conditional upon:
-
(1) the passing of resolution No. 8 as set out in the Notice, by the Shareholders at the 2026 AGM; and
-
(2) the Listing Committee granting approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of Options that are granted under the New Share Option Scheme.
Amendment
Any change to the terms of the Options granted to the Grantees must be in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options that are granted under the New Share Option Scheme.

VOTING AT 2026 AGM
Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of the Shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Accordingly, all resolutions will be put to vote by way of poll at the 2026 AGM. An announcement on the poll results will be made by the Company following the conclusion of the 2026 AGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A Shareholder entitled to more than one vote on a poll need not use all his/her/its votes or cast all the votes he/she/it uses in the same way.
Where there are joint holders of any Shares, any one of such joint holder may vote, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such Share as if he/she/it were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders be present at any meeting the vote of the senior holder who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint

holders, and for this purpose seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members in respect of the joint holding. Several executors or administrators of a deceased Shareholder in whose name any Share stands shall for the purposes of the Articles of Association be deemed joint holders thereof.

If (i) any objection is raised to the qualification of any voter, (ii) any votes have been counted which ought not to have been counted or which might have been rejected, or (iii) any votes are not counted which ought to have been counted, the objection or error shall not vitiate the decision of the 2026 AGM or adjourned 2026 AGM or postponed 2026 AGM on any resolution unless the same is raised or pointed out at the 2026 AGM or, as the case may be, the adjourned 2026 AGM or postponed 2026 AGM at which the vote objected to is given or tendered or at which the error occurs. Any objection or error shall be referred to the chairman of the 2026 AGM and shall only vitiate the decision of the 2026 AGM on any resolution if the chairman decides that the same may have affected the decision of the 2026 AGM. The decision of the chairman on such matters shall be final and conclusive.

A form of proxy for use at the 2026 AGM is enclosed.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
The following is an explanatory statement required to be sent to the Shareholders under the Listing Rules in connection with the Proposed Buy-back Mandate to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the 2026 AGM in relation to the Proposed Buy-back Mandate.
SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were in issue a total of 4,422,990,160 Shares of nominal value of US$0.0125 each and the Company did not hold any treasury shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution granting the Proposed Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or bought back before the 2026 AGM, the Company will be allowed to buy back a maximum of 442,299,016 Shares which represent 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of passing of the resolution approving the Proposed Buy-back Mandate.
If the Company buys back any Shares pursuant to the Proposed Buy-back Mandate, the Company will either (i) cancel the bought-back Shares and/or (ii) hold such Shares in treasury, subject to market conditions and the Company’s capital management needs at the relevant time any buy-back of Shares is made.
For any treasury shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall, upon approval by the Board, ensure that its broker (i) does not instruct HKSCC to vote at general meetings of the Company for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, withdraws the treasury shares from CCASS, and either re-registers them in the Company’s name as treasury shares or cancels them. This action shall be taken before the record date for the dividends or distributions, or any other measures shall be taken to ensure that the Company does not exercise any Shareholders’ rights or receive any entitlements that would otherwise be suspended under applicable laws if those Shares were registered in the Company’s name as treasury shares.
REASONS AND FUNDING OF BUY-BACKS
The Directors believe that it is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to seek approval for the Proposed Buy-back Mandate from the Shareholders to enable the Company to buy back Shares on the Stock Exchange. Such buy-backs may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the 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 buy-backs will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Buy-backs of Shares will be financed out of funds legally available for such purpose and in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Companies Act, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong, as well as the Listing Rules. The Companies Act provides that the amount of capital repaid in connection with a share buy-back may be paid out of the profits of the Company or the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purposes of the buy-back or out of capital
−17 −
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
subject to and in accordance with the Companies Act. The amount of premium payable on buy-back may only be paid out of either the profits of the Company or out of the share premium account before or at the time the Shares are bought back by the Company in the manner provided for in the Companies Act.
At present, the Directors have no intention to buy back any Shares and they would only exercise the power to buy back in circumstances where they consider that the buy-back would be in the best interest of the Company. If the Proposed Buy-back Mandate were to be exercised in full at the current prevailing market value, it may have a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025 contained in the 2025 annual report of the Company. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Proposed Buy-back Mandate to buy back Shares to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
GENERAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors or any of their respective close associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Proposed Buy-back Mandate is approved at the 2026 AGM.
Neither this explanatory statement nor the Proposed Buy-back Mandate has any unusual features. The Board will exercise the Proposed Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no core connected person has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so in the event that the Proposed Buy-back Mandate is approved at the 2026 AGM.
TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a buy-back of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder’s interests, 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 at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, SAKAI PRIVATE TRUST COMPANY PTE. LTD. (“The Sakai Trustee”, in its capacity as the trustee of The Sakai Trust) was interested in 3,063,547,160 Shares representing approximately 69.26% of the issued Shares. The interests held by The Sakai Trustee in Shares comprise:
- (i) a beneficial interest of 1,979,803,846 Shares; and
−18 −
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX II
- (ii) a deemed interest under the SFO in 1,083,743,314 Shares held by ChenLipKeong Capital Limited, LIPKO Group Limited and LIPKCO ENTERPRISES LIMITED, which in turn are wholly owned by The Sakai Trustee.
As at the Latest Practicable Date and to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, since SAKAI GLOBAL HOLDINGS LTD. (“Sakai Global”) holds the entire equity interest of The Sakai Trustee, Sakai Global is deemed to be interested in the Shares held by The Sakai Trustee and both of Mr. Chen Yiy Fon and Mr. Chen Yepern are the members and the directors of Sakai Global.
In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Proposed Buy-back Mandate, the attributable shareholding of The Sakai Trustee in the Company will be increased to approximately 76.96% of the issued Shares (if the present shareholding remains the same). The Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of an exercise of the Proposed Buy-back Mandate.
The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making a buy-back on the Stock Exchange if the buy-back would result in a reduction of the amount of shares held by the public to less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange). Assuming that there is no change in the issued Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing the resolution approving the Proposed Buy-back Mandate, the exercise of the Proposed Buy-back Mandate whether in whole or in part might result in less than 25% of total issued Shares being held by the public. However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Proposed Buy-back Mandate to such an extent as would result in a public shareholding of less than such prescribed minimum percentage.
SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY
No buy-back of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
