Pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire, and the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell the Target Asset, representing all the App and Intellectual Property Rights of LOOP Space, at a Consideration of HK$9,000,000.

- 1 -
The aggregate of 90,000,000 Consideration Shares represents (i) approximately 14.89% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; (ii) approximately 12.96% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares (assuming there will be no change in the share capital of the Company prior to the Acquisition Completion); and (iii) approximately 12.41% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares and the Subscription Shares (assuming there will be no change in the share capital of the Company prior to the Acquisition Completion and the Subscription Completion).

The Consideration Shares and Subscription Shares, when allotted and issued, shall rank pari passu with the Shares in issue.
GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition is more than 5% but less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the Acquisition Completion and the Subscription Completion are subject to the fulfillment or waiver (as the case may be) of the relevant conditions, therefore the Acquisition and/or the Subscription may or may not proceed. Accordingly, the Acquisition and/or the Subscription may or may not materialise and Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

(iii) the Put Option (as described below subsection) mechanism provided by the Vendor, details of which are set out in the subsection headed "Put Option" in this announcement, which the Purchaser shall be entitled to require the Vendor to buy back the Target Asset held by the Purchaser subject to the occurrence of the Triggering Event (as defined below); and

The Acquisition Completion is not conditional upon the Subscription having become unconditional.

The consideration for the Repurchase (the “Repurchase Consideration”) will be settled by the Vendor (or their respective nominee(s) or their respective successor(s)) by transfer of all the Consideration Shares held by the Vendor (or their respective nominee(s) or their respective successor(s)) to the person(s) or entity(ies) designated by the Purchaser. It is intended that the Purchaser will engage a placing agent for placing of the Repurchase Consideration to Independent Third Parties with the placing proceeds being retained by the Purchaser (or its nominee(s) or its successor(s)).

In the event that the Purchaser does not exercise the Put Option during the Put Option Exercise Period, the Put Option shall lapse and cease to have any effect.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION AND THE SUBSCRIPTION
The Group is principally engaged in (i) financial services business including provision of corporate finance advisory services, asset management business and money lending services; (ii) corporate consulting business including company secretarial services, accounting and financial reporting services and management consulting services; and (iii) digital business that leverages artificial intelligence and immersive interaction technologies.
As disclosed in the annual results announcement of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group is strategically positioning itself to leverage AI-driven technologies within its current financial services framework while simultaneously continuing investments in live concerts and events. By exploring innovative business prospects such as cutting-edge fintech innovations and robust digital transformation strategies, the Group aims to strengthen its digital presence and enhance service offerings. Additionally, the Group will also attempt to explore Web 3.0 projects or blockchain initiatives to expand its business scope. The Group will adapt and innovate in an increasingly digital-centric business environment, capturing opportunities in the digital business industry.
The acquisition of LOOP Space is considered as a strategic move that aligns closely with the Group's commitment to digital innovation and transformation. LOOP Space integrates blockchain industry communities, digital gifting, 3D audio-visual social participation and AI-based systems, and offers a next-generation community experience through features similar to X App, Discord groups and Douyin. The Group is confident in the long-term potential of the innovative social platform industry, particularly in the convergence of AI, social interaction, and Web 3.0 technologies. With LOOP Space already demonstrating user traction and preparing to host events with leading industry figures, the platform is well-positioned for growth. The Group anticipates that upon the successful conclusion of the trial period and the accumulation of a sufficiently active and engaged user base, the platform will begin to generate revenue through multiple channels. These include advertising fees paid by project owners for promotional exposure, platform commissions from digital gift transactions and income derived from developer ecosystem initiatives, such as hosting branded events, tool integrations, and community-driven campaigns. The Group believes that these diversified monetization streams, supported by the platform's innovative features and growing user traction, will contribute meaningfully to the long-term commercial potential of LOOP Space.
The Acquisition also complements the Group's existing financial services framework while providing a forward-looking foundation to explore emerging opportunities in the digital economy. The Group believes the Acquisition will enhance its digital presence, and represents a good opportunity for the Group to broaden its source of revenue and to maximise the return of the Shareholders.
- 14 -
In addition, (i) the Consideration is satisfied by way of allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares and therefore does not create any cashflow burden on the Group; and (ii) the Put Option has been included to offer protection to the Company's interest in the event the Purchaser fails to generate a positive operating cash flows specified in the subsection headed "Put Option" in this announcement.
Besides, the Vendor's willingness to subscribe for additional Shares demonstrates its confidence in the Group's prospects following the Acquisition. The proceeds from the Subscription will enhance the Group's capital base and are intended to be used as working capital to support the business operations and future development of LOOP Space upon Acquisition Completion, thereby aligning the interests of the Vendor with those of the Group and contributing to the long-term growth of the Company.
Hence, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement and Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition and Subscription are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATION
As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition is more than 5% but less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the Acquisition Completion and the Subscription Completion are subject to the fulfillment or waiver (as the case may be) of the relevant conditions, therefore the Acquisition and/or the Subscription may or may not proceed. Accordingly, the Acquisition and/or the Subscription may or may not materialise and Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
