INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the resolutions
to be proposed at the forthcoming AGM in relation to (i) the re-election of Directors and
continuous appointment of independent non-executive Director serving more than nine years;


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(ii) the appointment of independent non-executive Director; (iii) the proposed change of auditors; (iv) the granting of the Issue and Resale Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate; and (v) the Proposed Amendments and the proposed adoption of the New Articles. An AGM Notice is set out on pages 49 to 53 of this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS AND CONTINUOUS APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR SERVING MORE THAN NINE YEARS

In accordance with Article 84(1) of the Articles, the Directors, Mr. Wong Wai Yue, Mr. Li Po Sing and Ms. Fan Chiu Fun, Fanny, will retire from office by rotation, and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election or appointment at the AGM. The particulars of these Directors which are required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

Ms. Fan Chiu Fun, Fanny has been holding directorships of five listed companies in Hong Kong, including as an independent non-executive Director of the Company. However, the Board is of the view that Ms. Fan Chiu Fun, Fanny would still be able to devote sufficient time to the Board and has good communication with the management team and other independent non-executive Directors to oversee and provide independent judgement to the Board. With Ms. Fan Chiu Fun, Fanny's past working experience in public administration and governance, the Board considers she has been making valuable contributions to the Company with her knowledge and past working experience since her appointment as an independent non-executive Director. In accordance with code provision B.2.3 of the Corporate Governance Code contained in Appendix C1 to the Listing Rules, if an independent non-executive director has served more than nine years, his or her further appointment should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders. As Ms. Fan Chiu Fun, Fanny has served as an independent non-executive Director more than nine years, a separate resolution will be proposed at the AGM to further appoint her as an independent non-executive Director. Further, Ms. Fan Chiu Fun, Fanny, being an independent non-executive Director, has given an annual confirmation of independence pursuant to the independence guidelines as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. The Board is of the view that she remains to be independent after assessing her independence in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. During her tenure as an independent non-executive Director, Ms. Fan Chiu Fun, Fanny actively participated in meetings of the Board and its committees to provide unbiased opinions and exercised independent judgement, and attended general meetings of the Company to fully understand the views of the Shareholders.

The Board is also satisfied with her positive contribution to the Company as evidenced by her $100\%$ attendance rate of board meetings and general meetings of the Company since her appointment. Ms. Fan Chiu Fun, Fanny has remained responsible for her performance functions and discharged her duties to the Company through active participation at the Board by bringing about balance of views as well as professional knowledge, experience and expertise. Based on the foregoing, the Board considers that Ms. Fan Chiu Fun, Fanny can carry out her duties as an independent non-executive Director for the Company despite (i) her multiple directorships in four other Hong Kong listed companies; and (ii) the length of her tenure at the Company.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The nomination committee of the Company has reviewed the structure, size and composition of the Board and is of the view that a diverse Board with appropriate mix of skills and experience is essential for the Group.

Having considered the information set out in Appendix I of this circular, the Board is of the view that all retiring Directors who offer themselves for re-election at the AGM are of sufficient calibre and experience and have devoted sufficient time and efforts to the Company's affairs. Ms. Fan Chiu Fun, Fanny, as independent non-executive Directors, is independent in character and will contribute to the diversity of the Board and continue to bring valuable independent judgement. Ms. Fan Chiu Fun, Fanny has also confirmed that she meets the independence criteria as set out in the Listing Rules.

APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 26 August 2025 (the "Announcement") in relation to, among others, the proposed appointment of Mr. Sun Po Yuen. As disclosed in the Announcement, the Board has proposed to appoint Mr. Sun Po Yuen as an independent non-executive Director to fill the casual vacancy on the Board following the retirement of Mr. Kan Chung Nin, Tony. The proposed appointment of Mr. Sun is subject to the approval by the Shareholders at the AGM by way of ordinary resolution and, if approved, will take effect from the conclusion of the AGM. Upon the appointment of Mr. Sun Po Yuen as an independent non-executive Director, Mr. Sun will also act as the chairman of the Remuneration Committee, a member of the Audit Committee and a member of the Nomination Committee

Mr. Sun has confirmed that (i) he has satisfied all the factors for independence as set out in Rule 3.13(1) to (8) of the Listing Rules; (ii) he has no past or present financial or other interest in the business of the Group or connection with any core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company; and (iii) there are no other factors that may affect his independence at the time of his appointment. Accordingly, the Board considers Mr. Sun to be independent.

Having considered the information set out in Appendix I of this circular and the professionalism of Mr. Sun, the Board and the Nomination Committee are of the view that his appointment will bring valuable perspectives, knowledge, skills and experience to the Board to ensure the efficient and effective operation of the Board and will contribute to the diversification of the Board, which will be conducive to the Company's compliance with the operational requirements and healthy and sustainable development.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CHANGE OF AUDITORS

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 26 August 2025, in relation to the proposed change of auditors (the “Announcement”). As disclosed in the Announcement, PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”) will retire as the auditors of the Company and will not offer themselves for re-appointment upon expiration of their current term of office at the conclusion of the AGM as a consensus on the proposed auditor’s remuneration for the financial year ending 31 March 2026 could not be reached.

The Company has carried out an assessment for the selection of the Company’s new auditors. The Board has resolved, based on the outcome of the assessment and with the recommendation of the audit committee of the Company (the “Audit Committee”), to propose the appointment of KPMG as the auditors of the Company following the retirement of PwC and to hold office from the conclusion of the AGM until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company after the AGM subject to the approval by the Shareholders at the AGM.

The members of the Audit Committee have considered a number of factors in assessing the appointment of KPMG as the new auditors of the Company, including but not limited to (i) the track record of KPMG including their experience in handling audit work for companies listed on the Stock Exchange; (ii) their audit fee; (iii) their commitment to independence and objectivity; (iv) their reputation in the industry; (v) their qualifications, resources and capability of completing the audit work within required timeframe; and (vi) the guidelines issued by the Accounting and Financial Reporting Council. Based on the above, the Audit Committee and the Board considered that KPMG are eligible and suitable to act as the new auditors of the Company.

GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES, RESELL TREASURY SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES

By ordinary resolutions of the Shareholders passed on 30 August 2024, the Directors were granted general mandates to issue Shares and to repurchase Shares. Each such mandate will expire at the conclusion of the AGM.

Approval is sought from the Shareholders, pursuant to the Listing Rules, for granting of the Issue Mandate in order to enable the Directors to issue additional Shares should the need arise. In this regard, ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM for the approval of granting of, amongst others, the (i) Issue and Resale Mandate to the Directors to allot and issue new Shares (including the sale or transfer of treasury shares out of treasury) up to an amount not exceeding 20% of the number of issued shares (excluding treasury shares) of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution at the AGM (details of which are set out as resolution no. 6(1) in the AGM Notice); and (ii) Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to repurchase Shares up to an amount not exceeding 10% of the number of the issued shares (excluding treasury shares) of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution at the AGM (details of which are set out as resolution no. 6(2) in the AGM Notice). In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will also be proposed at the AGM (details of which are set out as


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

resolution no. 6(3) in the AGM Notice) to add to the Issue Mandate those number of issued Shares repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the AGM).

Based on the issued share capital of 2,279,392,000 Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, on the assumption that there will not be any change to the issued share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM, the number of Shares that may fall to be issued under the Issue Mandate will be 455,878,400 Shares, representing 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Company did not have any treasury shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Issue and Resale Mandate and Repurchase Mandate, if approved at the AGM, will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the AGM or the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required to be held by the Articles or other applicable laws or until revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution passed in a general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.

The Directors have no current plans to issue any new Shares, resell treasury shares or repurchase Shares pursuant to the relevant mandates, other than such Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of any share options granted under the Share Option Scheme.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company may not (i) make a new issue of Shares, or a sale or transfer of any treasury shares; or (ii) announce a proposed new issue of Shares, or a sale or transfer of any treasury shares for a period of 30 days after any purchase by it of Shares, whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise, without the prior approval of the Stock Exchange.

An explanatory statement containing the information as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES AND PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE NEW ARTICLES

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 20 June 2025 in relation to, among others, the Proposed Amendments and the proposed adoption of the New Articles.

The Board proposes to amend the Articles to reflect, among others, (i) the expanded paperless listing regime; (ii) online participation at general meetings and voting by shareholders by electronic means; (iii) the new treasury shares regime; (iv) other housekeeping amendments; and (v) adjusted numbering of certain Articles as a result of the aforesaid amendments (i.e., the "Proposed Amendments"). In light of the Proposed Amendments, the Board proposes to adopt the New Articles in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, the Articles. Details of the Proposed Amendments (marked-up against the relevant provisions of the Articles) are set out in the Appendix III to this circular.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix serves as the explanatory statement required under Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to provide you with the information necessary for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate to be granted to the Directors.

SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 2,279,392,000 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 227,939,200 Shares (representing not more than 10% of the number of issued shares of the Company (excluding treasury shares) as at the date of passing the resolution to approve the Repurchase Mandate).

REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders that they should have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Company to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earning per Share and will only be made where the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

A listed company is prohibited from repurchasing its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time. Under the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands, any repurchase by the Company may be made out of the profits or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands, out of capital. Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the Company's share premium account or, if authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands, out of capital.

On the basis of the current financial position of the Company as disclosed in its annual report for the year ended 31 March 2025 and taking into account the Company's current working capital position, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company's working capital and/or gearing position as compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 March 2025 (being


APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

the date to which the latest audited financial statements of the Company have been made up). However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the Company's working capital requirements or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

GENERAL

The Directors will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles and applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their close associates, currently intends to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

No core connected person has notified the Company that he or she has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors confirmed that neither this explanatory statement nor the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.

The Shares repurchased by the Company may be held as treasury shares or may be cancelled subject to, among others, market conditions and its capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchase(s), which may change due to actual circumstances of the Company. The Shareholders and potential investors should pay attention to any announcement to be published by the Company in future, including but not limited to, any next day disclosure return (which shall identify, among others, the number of repurchased Shares that are to be held in treasury or cancelled upon settlement of such repurchase) and relevant monthly return.

For any treasury shares of the Company deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company shall, upon approval by the Board implement the following interim measures, including:

(i) procuring its broker not to give an instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS;

(ii) in the case of dividends or distributions (if any and where applicable), withdrawing the treasury shares from CCASS, and either re-registering them in its own name as treasury shares or cancel them, in each case before the relevant record date for the dividend or distributions; or

(iii) taking any other measures to ensure that it will not exercise any Shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in its own name as treasury shares.

  • 18 -

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

The listing of all Shares which are purchased by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) but not held as treasury shares shall be automatically cancelled upon repurchase. The Company shall ensure that the documents of title of these repurchased Shares are cancelled and destroyed as soon as reasonably practicable following settlement of any such repurchase.

TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a repurchase 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 the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (as interpreted according to the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Nameson Investments directly held 1,500,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 65.8% in the issued share capital of the Company. Nameson Investments is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Happy Family BVI, which is in turn wholly-owned by East Asia International Trustees Limited. Accordingly, each of Happy Family BVI and East Asia International Trustees Limited is deemed to be interested in 1,500,000,000 Shares held by Nameson Investments, representing approximately 65.8% in the issued share capital of the Company.

In addition, Mr. Wong Ting Chung, Mr. Wong Ting Chun and Mr. Wong Ting Kau who are beneficiaries of the Happy Family Trust, a trust established by Mr. Wong Ting Chung as the settlor with East Asia International Trustees Limited as the trustee, they are deemed to be interest in 1,500,000,000 Shares held by Nameson Investments, representing approximately 65.8% in the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Moreover, Mr. Wong Ting Chung is the beneficial owner of 200,000,000 Shares. Therefore, the aggregate number of shares directly and indirectly held by him is 1,700,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 74.6% in the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In the event that the Directors exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate and assuming there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company and the number of Shares held by Mr. Wong Ting Chung, the interest of Mr. Wong Ting Chung in the issued share capital of the Company would be increased to approximately 82.9% of the issued share capital of the Company and such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to repurchase the Shares to the extent which would trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code or result in less than 25% of the Shares being held by the public. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchases made under the Repurchase Mandate.
