Chairman


APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the requisite information to you for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. ISSUED SHARES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,260,000,000 issued Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing of such resolution, the Directors would be authorised to repurchase up to a maximum of 126,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) as at the Latest Practicable Date during the period up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company in 2026; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Under the Listing Rules, the Company will either (i) cancel the repurchased Shares and/or (ii) hold such Shares in treasury, subject to market conditions and the capital management needs of the Company at the relevant time such repurchases of Shares are made. If the Company holds any Shares in treasury, any sale or transfer of Shares held in treasury will be subject to the terms of the share issuance mandate in ordinary resolution no. 4 and made in accordance with the Listing Rules and applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.

To the extent that any treasury shares are deposited with Central Clearing and Settlement System ("CCASS") pending resale, the Company will adopt appropriate measures to ensure that it does not exercise any shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those Shares were registered in the Company's own name as treasury shares. These measures may include approval by the Board that (i) the Company will not (or will procure its broker not to) give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company will withdraw the treasury shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as treasury shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions.


APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital facilities which will be funds legally available under the Cayman Islands law and the Memorandum and Articles for such purpose.

4. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING LEVEL

An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full could have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Company compared with that as at 31 October 2024, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated accounts. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company.

5. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest market prices at which the Shares had been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous 12 calendar months and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:

Months Per Share
Highest HK$ Lowest HK$
2024
February 0.161 0.150
March 0.163 0.148
April 0.170 0.146
May 0.171 0.150
June 0.207 0.165
July 0.167 0.146
August 0.169 0.138
September 0.178 0.137
October 0.180 0.150
November 0.160 0.133
December 0.140 0.126
2025
January 0.130 0.095
February (up to and including the Latest Practicable Date) 0.126 0.110

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

6. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their Close Associates, have any present intention to sell to the Company or its subsidiaries any of the Shares in the Company if the Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM.

No Core Connected Person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has he/she undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of Shares when the Repurchase Mandate is approved and exercised.

7. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS

The Directors have confirmed that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and applicable laws of the Cayman Islands, and in accordance with the regulations set out in the Memorandum and Articles.

The Directors have confirmed that neither the explanatory statement set out in Appendix I to this circular nor the proposed share repurchase has unusual features.

8. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE

If a Shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert 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. The Directors are not aware of any Shareholders, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.


APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, so far as the Directors are aware, the following Shareholders were interested in more than 5% of the Shares then in issue:

Name of Shareholders Number of Shares held Approximate percentage of existing shareholding Approximate percentage of shareholding if Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full
RBC Venture Limited (Note) 945,000,000 75% 83.33%
Low Seah Sun 945,000,000 75% 83.33%

Note: Mr. Low Seah Sun beneficially owns 40% of the issued shares of RBC Venture Limited, which in turn holds 75% of the Shares. Therefore, Mr. Low Seah Sun is deemed to be, or taken to be, interested in the Shares held by RBC Venture Limited under the SFO. Mr. Low Seah Sun is a director of RBC Venture Limited.

The Directors have no present intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to the extent that will result in a requirement of any of the above Shareholder(s) or any other persons to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code or the number of Shares in the hands of the public would fall below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%. The Directors will exercise the powers conferred by the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase Shares in circumstances, which they deem appropriate for the benefits of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

9. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY

No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
