APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
An explanatory statement containing information relating to the Repurchase Mandate, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of the Listing Rules, is set out in the Appendix I to this circular. The information in the explanatory statement is to provide you with the information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution relating to the Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 60,910,013 ordinary Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution number 5 set out in the notice of the AGM and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 6,091,001 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company (excluding any Treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of such resolution, during the course of the period from the date of passing the relevant resolution up to (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 any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders general meeting, whichever occurs first.
In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised, the Company may cancel such repurchased Shares, subject to market conditions and the Group's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to seek a general authority from Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares of the Company in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and its shareholders.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with its Articles of Association, the Listing Rules of Hong Kong and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Board of Directors proposes that such repurchases of Shares might appropriately be financed by the Company's internal resources, funds available for distribution, paid up capital, the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for the purpose of the repurchase and/or available banking facilities.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
4. EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
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 2025 Annual Report) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is carried out in full. However, the Directors do not propose exercising the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as it would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate of the Company.
5. UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features. None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquires, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company of any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.
6. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest closing prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the calendar months since January 2025 were as follows:
| Month 2025/Share Price HK$ | Highest | Lowest |
|---|---|---|
| January | 2.749 | 2.570 |
| February | 2.546 | 2.128 |

Up to the Latest Practicable Date
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
7. SHARES PURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
Since the annual general meeting held on 30 May 2025 to the Latest Practicable Date, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company’s Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
8. THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING
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, 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 Shareholder’s interests, 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.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Zeng Wenling is deemed to be interested in a total of 4,841,813 Shares through ULTIMATE VANTAGE GROUP LIMITED (“ULTIMATE VANTAGE”), and Group Target Limited (“Group Target”), which is wholly owned by Mr. Lu Weixing, is interested in a total of 5,760,000 Shares, being the substantial shareholders of the Company, representing approximately 7.95% and 9.46% respectively of the total issued share capital of 60,910,013 Shares the Company. If the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, and the repurchase shares are all cancelled, the percentage shareholdings of ULTIMATE VANTAGE and Group Target will be increased to approximately 8.83% and 10.51% respectively of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors are not aware of such an increase would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code if the Share Buy-Back Mandate was to be exercised in full. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. Also, such increase would not result in the aggregate number of Shares in the public hands being reduced to less than 25%. Any repurchase of the Shares which results in the number of the Shares held by the public being reduced to less than the prescribed percentage of the Shares then in issue could only be implemented with the approval of the Stock Exchange to waive the Listing Rules requirements regarding the public float. The Directors confirm that the Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to the extent which may result in a public shareholding falling below the prescribed minimum percentage under the Listing Rules.
9. CONNECTED PERSON
No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) has notified the Company that it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
