After deducting related fees and expenses, the net proceeds of the Subscriptions are expected to be approximately HK$128,845,000, representing a net Subscription Price of approximately HK$0.734 per Subscription Share. The Company intends to utilise the aforesaid net proceeds from the Subscriptions for working capital and general corporate purposes. Among such proceeds, the Company plans to utilise (i) approximately 35.8% or approximately HK$46.1 million for replenishing working capital of the Company, (ii) approximately 12.5% or approximately HK$16.1 million for research and development, and (iii) approximately 51.7% or approximately HK$66.6 million for repayment of loans.

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscribers with reference to the recent market prices of the Shares and current market condition and the financial situation of the Company, in particular (i) the recent market prices of the Shares as set out in the paragraphs headed “PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT – The Subscription Price” in the Announcement, to which the discount of the Subscription Shares is less than 10%; (ii) the funds needed by the Company to continue to enhance its business operation and further its business strategy; (iii) the expected costs needed for its operation in light of the potential increase in demand following the expected recovery of the PRC’s economy; (iv) the net loss recorded for the year ended 31 December 2022 of approximately RMB124.0 million; and (v) the cash and cash equivalents available to the Company.

Based on the above, the Directors are of the view that the relevant Subscription Agreements (including the Subscription Price) are made on normal commercial terms, are fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Given that Completion is subject to conditions and the Subscriptions may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2023 AGM in relation to the granting of the Buyback Mandate.

1. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The Directors believe that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Repurchases of Shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/ or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Buyback Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 517,868,036 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 12 of the notice of the 2023 AGM in respect of the granting of the Buyback Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the 2023 AGM, i.e. being 517,868,036 Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Buyback Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Buyback Mandate remains in force, 51,786,803 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the 2023 AGM.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will be funded from the Company’s internal resources, which shall be funds legally available for such purposes in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Listing Rules, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.

– 19 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASES

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 of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022) in the event that the Buyback 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 Buyback Mandate to such an 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 befitting the Company.

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If, on the exercise of the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Buyback 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 the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, 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 for all the Shares not already owned by such Shareholder or group of Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, according to the disclosure of interest published on the website of the Stock Exchange, (i) Mr. Wang Donglin, 深圳市高盛達旅遊汽車服務有限公司 (Shenzhen Gaoshengda Travelling and Car Services Company Limited) (“ Gaoshengda ”) and Mindas Touch Global Limited (“ Mindas Touch ”) were interested or deemed to be interested in 70,003,840 Shares (representing approximately 13.52% of the total issued share capital of the Company); and (ii) Beijing Financial Street Capital Operation Group Co., Ltd (“ Financial Street Capital ”) were interested or deemed to be interested in 66,080,000 Shares (representing approximately 12.76% of the total issued share capital of the Company).

On the basis that (i) the total issued share capital of the Company (being 517,868,036 Shares) remains unchanged as at the date of the 2023 AGM; and (ii) the interest or deemed interest of Mr. Wang Donglin, Gaoshengda and Mindas Touch in the Company (being 70,003,840 issued Shares) and the interest or deemed interest of Financial Street Capital in the Company (being 66,080,000 issued Shares) remain unchanged, immediately after the full exercise of the Buyback Mandate, in the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the relevant ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2023 AGM, (a) the interest or deemed interest of Mr. Wang Donglin, Gaoshengda and Mindas Touch would be increased to approximately 15.02% of the total issued share capital of the Company; and (b) the interest or deemed interest of Financial Street Capital in the issued Shares would be increased to approximately 14.18% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

– 20 –

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE BUYBACK MANDATE

APPENDIX I

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Buyback Mandate. However, the Listing Rules prohibit a company from making repurchase of Shares on the Stock Exchange if the result of the repurchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the number of the Company’s issued shares would be in public hands. The Directors therefore would not propose to repurchase Shares if it would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.

6. GENERAL

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Buyback Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
