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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Issue Mandate, the proposed re-election of the retiring Directors, the proposed re-appointment of auditor of the Company and the proposed adoption of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association and to give you notice of the AGM. SHARE ISSUE MANDATE At the annual general meeting held on 12 June 2025, an ordinary resolution was passed by the Shareholders to give a general unconditional mandate to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to renew such mandate at the AGM, and to include under the mandate authorization to sell and transfer Treasury Shares in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total issued Shares comprised 1,483,687,151 Shares. Subject to passing of the resolution granting the Share Issue Mandate and on the basis that there is no issue of new Shares or repurchase of Shares by the Company during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of passing of the resolution granting the Share Issue Mandate, the Company would be allowed under the resolution granting the Share Issue Mandate to allot, issue and deal with (including issue of new Shares and sale or transfer of Treasury Shares) a maximum of 296,737,430 Shares representing no more than 20% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of the resolution granting the Share Issue Mandate.
In addition, subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions to grant the Share Issue Mandate and the Share Repurchase Mandate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to extend the Share Issue Mandate by adding the total number of Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, provided that such extended number of Shares shall not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares) as at the date of passing the resolution granting the Share Issue Mandate.
Details of the Share Issue Mandate and the extension of the Share Issue Mandate are set out in ordinary resolutions as referred to in resolutions nos. 4 and 6 respectively of the notice of the AGM.
SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
At the annual general meeting held on 12 June 2025, an ordinary resolution was passed by the Shareholders to give a general unconditional mandate to the Directors to exercise all the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to renew such mandate at the AGM.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total issued Shares comprised 1,483,687,151 Shares. Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that there is no change in the total number of issued Shares during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate will be 148,368,715 Shares representing no more than 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the Repurchase Resolution.
An explanatory statement as required under the GEM Listing Rules, giving certain information regarding the Share Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
The Board currently comprises seven Directors, namely Mr. Cheng Wai Tak (suspended), Mr. Liu Ka Wing (suspended), Mr. Tse Ka Wing (suspended), Mr. Chang Huan Chia, Mr. Kan Man Wai, Ms. Hsu Wai Man Helen and Mr. Lau Ngai Kee Ricky.
In accordance with Article 108 of the Articles of Association, Mr. Liu Ka Wing, Mr. Chang Huan Chia and Ms. Hsu Wai Man Helen, being three of the Directors longest in office since their last re-election, will retire by rotation at the AGM.
Ms. Hsu Wai Man Helen, being eligible, has offered herself for re-election as Director at the AGM. She has served as independent non-executive Director for approximately 5 years. The Nomination Committee has assessed and reviewed the annual independence confirmation of Ms. Hsu Wai Man Helen for the year ended 31 December 2025 based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules, and considers that she remains independent. The Nomination Committee considered and nominated Ms. Hsu Wai Man Helen to the Board for it to propose to the Shareholders for re-election at the AGM.
The Board is also of the view that Ms. Hsu Wai Man Helen is beneficial to the Board with diversity of her comprehensive experience and knowledge in accounting and financial management that contribute to invaluable expertise, continuity and stability to the Board. The Board believes that she will continue to contribute effectively to the Board.
Having regard to the experience, skills and expertise of the above retiring directors as well as the overall board diversity of the Company and the nomination policy adopted by the Company, the Nomination Committee recommended re-election of the aforesaid retiring Directors to the Board. Accordingly, the Board has proposed that each of the above retiring directors, namely Mr. Liu Ka Wing, Mr. Chang Huan Chia and Ms. Hsu Wai Man Helen, stands for re-election as Director at the AGM.
Biographical details of Mr. Liu Ka Wing, Mr. Chang Huan Chia and Ms. Hsu Wai Man Helen are set out in Appendix II to this circular.
ADOPTION OF THE THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 28 April 2026. The Board proposes to amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association and adopt the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to allow the Company to hold general meetings which members can attend virtually with the use of technology; and where members can cast votes by electronic means; (ii) to bring the Memorandum and Articles of Association in line with the amendments made to the GEM Listing Rules relating to the uncertificated securities market regime; and (iii) to make other housekeeping changes.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In view of the number of proposed changes involved, the Board proposes to amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association by way of adoption of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. Details of the changes to the Memorandum and Articles of Association introduced by the adoption of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association are set out in Appendix III to this circular.
Shareholders are advised that the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association are written in English. The Chinese translation of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association is for reference only. In case of any inconsistency between the English and Chinese versions, the English version shall prevail.
The legal adviser to the Company as to the laws of Hong Kong has confirmed that the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association conform with the requirements under the GEM Listing Rules and the legal adviser to the Company as to the laws of the Cayman Islands has confirmed that the proposed amendments to the Memorandum and Articles of Association do not violate the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company confirms that there is nothing unusual about the proposed amendments for a company listed on the Stock Exchange.
RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR OF THE COMPANY
At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed to re-appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PWC”) as auditor of the Company for the ensuing year and to authorise the Board to fix the remuneration of auditor.
The estimated audit fee for the financial year ending 31 December 2026 is expected to be in the range of approximately HK$870,000 to HK$970,000, based on the annual audit fee for the financial year ended 31 December 2025 of approximately HK$875,000. This estimate is based on discussions between the Company and PWC, taking into account various factors, including the previous audit fee, the complexity of the Group’s operations, the business plan of the Group for the period, the expected audit scope, the proposed audit timetable, and the auditors’ resources required to perform the audit, which are expected to be similar to those in the financial year ended 31 December 2025. The estimated audit fee is based on the facts and circumstances known at the relevant time and is provided for illustrative purposes only. The estimated audit fee may be subject to adjustment prior to the final determination by the Company and PWC.
ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve the Share Issue Mandate, the Share Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Share Issue Mandate and the re-election of the retiring Directors and a special resolution will be proposed to approve the adoption of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association. The notice of the AGM is set out on pages 38 to 43 of this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
VOTING BY WAY OF POLL
Pursuant to Rule 17.47(4) of the GEM Listing Rules, any vote of 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. The chairman of the AGM will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the AGM pursuant to Article 72 of the Articles of Association and the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 17.47(5) of the GEM Listing Rules.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
A proxy form for use at the AGM is enclosed herein. Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed (i.e. Monday, 15 June 2026 at 3: 00 p.m. (Hong Kong time)) for the holding of the AGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the proxy form will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM, or any adjourned meeting, should you so wish and, in such event, the proxy form shall be deemed to be revoked.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors believe that the grant of the Share Issue Mandate, the Share Repurchase Mandate and the extension of the Share Issue Mandate, the re-election of the retiring Directors, the re-appointment of auditor of the Company and the proposed adoption of the Third Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association are in the best interests of the Company as well as the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that all the Shareholders should vote in favour of all the relevant resolutions relating to the aforesaid matters.
RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT
This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.
By order of the Board Perfect Optronics Limited Kan Man Wai Acting Chairman

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the proposal to permit the repurchase of Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution.
1. EXERCISE OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
Exercise in full of the Share Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 1,483,687,151 Shares in issue at the Latest Practicable Date, would result in up to 148,368,715 Shares (which will be fully paid and represent 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) being repurchased by the Company during the course of the period prior to 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 of Association or applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the passing of any ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company revoking, varying or renewing the Share Repurchase Mandate.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the Company’s net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share.
Following the amendments to the GEM Listing Rules to be effective on 11 June 2024 on removal of mandatory requirement for cancellation of the shares repurchased by listed issuers of the Stock Exchange, listed issuers may, instead of cancellation of repurchased shares, (i) subject to the laws of their place of incorporation and their constitutional documents hold the repurchased shares in treasury and (ii) resell the treasury share in accordance with applicable laws, rules and restrictions. Such amendments will allow the Company to have greater flexibility in managing the Company’s capital structure, to react promptly to market conditions and, if and when appropriate, and to resell the Treasury Shares on the market at market prices to raise funds.
Currently, the Company has no Shares repurchased. However, it is intended that the Shares which are repurchased by the Company will be cancelled. The Shares which are repurchased by the Company will only be held as Treasury Shares by the Company when the Directors consider it prudent or beneficial for capital management purposes to do so, and the Treasury Shares will only be resold on the market when the Directors believe that a resale of such Treasury Shares is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
– 8 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
For those Treasury Shares not directly held by the Company but are deposited with the Central Clearing and Settlement System pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company will adopt measures to ensure that it would not exercise any Shareholders’ rights or receive any entitlements in respect of such Treasury Shares. Such measures will include (i) procuring the relevant broker not to give instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings of the Company for such Treasury Shares; and (ii) in case of dividends or distributions, withdrawing the Treasury Shares from the Central Clearing and Settlement System and either registering in the Company’s own name or cancelling them, in each case before the record date for the dividend or distributions.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing the Company’s Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Companies Act and applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands, and the GEM Listing Rules. The Company may not repurchase securities on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of GEM prevailing from time to time.
4. GENERAL
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing position of the Company, which in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
The Directors will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands in force from time to time.
The Directors confirmed that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
No core connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
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 purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result of a repurchase of Shares made under the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the interest of the Shareholder(s), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Cheng Wai Tak was interested in 925,647,151 Shares, representing approximately 62.39% of the total number of issued Shares, of which 923,427,151 Shares were corporate interests held indirectly through Winful Enterprises Limited, a company which is wholly and beneficially owned by Mr. Cheng Wai Tak.
In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Share Repurchase Mandate, the shareholding of Mr. Cheng Wai Tak would be increased to approximately 69.32% of the total number of issued Shares, and such increase will not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
The Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of a repurchase of Shares made under the Share Repurchase Mandate and have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as to result in takeover obligations.
The Directors will not exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate if the repurchase would result in the number of Shares which are in the hands of the public falling below 25% of the total number of Shares in issue (or such other percentage as may prescribed as the minimum public shareholding under the GEM Listing Rules).
Any repurchase of Shares which results in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% could only be implemented with the approval of the Stock Exchange to waive from strict compliance with the GEM Listing Rules requirements regarding the public shareholding. However, the Directors have no current intention to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would give rise to this obligation. In any event, the Company will not repurchase Shares which would result in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.
5. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchase of Shares had been made by the Company (whether on GEM or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
