CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED
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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in securities traded on GEM.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required under Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules to provide requisite information for the Shareholders to consider the Repurchase Mandate to be proposed at the AGM.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 800,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the Repurchase Resolution and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 80,000,000 Shares (representing not more than 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution).
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. Repurchase of Shares may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
The Company may only apply funds legally available for share repurchase in accordance with the Articles of Association, the Companies Law and any other applicable laws. Such funds legally available for repurchasing Shares include:
-
(i) such funds made out of profits of the Company or out of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, subject to the Companies Law, out of capital; and
-
(ii) in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, such funds made out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, subject to the Companies Law, out of capital.
4. IMPACT OF SHARE REPURCHASE
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 accounts contained in the annual report for the year ended 31 March 2021 in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate 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.

6. UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Resolution and in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Cayman Islands.
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their associates, have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.
No other connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
7. TAKEOVERS CODE AND MINIMUM PUBLIC HOLDING
If on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) 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.
On the basis of the interests in the Shares held by C.N.Y. Holdings Limited as at the Latest Practicable Date set out below, on the basis that no new Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM and assuming that there would not be changes in the issued share capital of the Company prior to the repurchase of the Shares and C.N.Y. Holdings Limited would not dispose of its Shares nor acquire additional Shares prior to any repurchase of Shares, C.N.Y. Holdings Limited will not be obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full.

Note: C.N.Y. Holdings is owned as to approximately 83% by Mr. Chow Mo Lam and 17% by Mr. Yu Lap On Stephen.
In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Repurchase Mandate in full, the increase in the above shareholdings in the Company would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.
The Directors do not purpose or intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in the number of Shares in hands of public being reduced to less than 25% of the total issued Shares.
8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchase of Shares have been made by the Company whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise in the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
