4. Re-election of a retiring Director and election of a new Director

In accordance with the code provision B.2.2 as set out in Appendix C1 of the Listing Rules, every director, including those appointed for a specific term, should be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. In addition, in accordance with


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Article 8.1 of the Articles of Incorporation, the Directors shall be elected by Shareholders at a general meeting, which shall determine their number and term of office. The term of office of a Director shall be up to three years, upon the expiry of which each shall be eligible for re-election.

Accordingly, Mr. Kyle Francis Gendreau and Mr. Tom Korbas will retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting. Being eligible, Mr. Gendreau has offered himself for re-election at the Annual General Meeting for a proposed term of three years expiring upon the holding of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2029. The re-election of Mr. Gendreau as a Director will be voted on by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

The Board would like to express its gratitude to Mr. Korbas for his valuable efforts and contributions to the Company during his tenure of office.

The Board proposes that Mr. Sameer Suneja be elected as an independent non-executive Director for a term of three years commencing from the date of the Annual General Meeting and expiring upon the holding of the annual general meeting of the Company to be held in 2029. The election of Mr. Suneja as a Director will be voted on by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by Mr. Suneja, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of Mr. Suneja with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's Board Diversity Policy and the Company's policy for the nomination of Directors as set forth in the Terms of Reference of the Nomination Committee and the Company's corporate strategy, and the independence of Mr. Suneja.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Nomination Committee nominated Mr. Suneja as an independent non-executive Director candidate taking into account factors such as his professional experience, skills and knowledge of corporate strategy and global operations in a consumer-facing business, as shown in his biographical details set out in Appendix I to this circular, his potential to enhance the operation efficiency of the Board as an independent non-executive Director, and his potential commitment to the business of the Company. The Board believes that Mr. Suneja will provide objective, independent and sufficient opinions and analysis on significant matters relating to the operations and management of the Company through his extensive experience and knowledge while promoting the independence and objectiveness in decision making of the Board and the comprehensive and impartial supervision of the management of the Company. The Board further believes that Mr. Suneja will, together with other independent non-executive Directors, promote the diversity of the Board structure in various aspects including age, gender, culture, professional skills and qualifications.

The Nomination Committee and the Board consider that Mr. Suneja meets the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is independent in accordance with the terms of the independence guidelines. Accordingly, the Nomination Committee has recommended to the Board the proposed election of Mr. Suneja as an independent non-executive Director.

Details of Mr. Gendreau and Mr. Suneja are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

7. and 8. Proposed grant of general mandates to repurchase and issue Shares

At the annual general meeting of the Shareholders of the Company held on June 3, 2025, general mandates were granted to the Directors to issue and repurchase Shares respectively. Such mandates will lapse on 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 to be held by any applicable law or the Articles of Incorporation; or (iii) the time when such mandate is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had a total of 1,466,240,721 issued Shares, including 79,301,100 treasury shares. Excluding the treasury shares, the number of issued Shares was 1,386,939,621.

In order to give the Company the flexibility to issue and repurchase Shares if and when appropriate, the following ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve:

(a) the granting of a general mandate (the “Issuance Mandate”) to the Directors to allot, issue or deal with additional Shares or securities convertible into Shares (which would include convertible bonds) within the limits of the authorized capital not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares as of the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution (excluding treasury shares) contained in paragraph 8 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting (i.e. a total of 138,693,962 Shares as of the Latest Practicable Date on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting), such Shares to be issued for cash or non-cash consideration at a discount of not more than 10% to the Benchmarked Price of the Shares; and

(b) the granting of a general mandate (the “Share Buy-back Mandate”) to the Directors to purchase Shares on the Stock Exchange not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued Shares as of the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution (excluding treasury shares) contained in paragraph 9 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting (i.e. a total of 138,693,962 Shares as of the Latest Practicable Date on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting) within the limits referred to below.

Any reference to an allotment, issue, grant, offer or disposal of Shares pursuant to the Issuance Mandate shall include the sale or transfer of treasury shares in the capital of the Company (including to satisfy any obligation upon the conversion or exercise of any convertible securities, options, warrants or similar rights to subscribe for Shares) to the extent permitted by, and subject to the provisions of, the Listing Rules.

  • 13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board is recommending the granting of the Issuance Mandate for a maximum of 10% of the total number of issued Shares as of the date of the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution (excluding treasury shares), and Shares issued for cash or non-cash consideration under the Issuance Mandate will be subject to a maximum discount of 10% to the Benchmarked Price of the Shares, as opposed to the maximum limit of 20% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) and the maximum discount of 20% to the Benchmarked Price of the Shares permitted under the Listing Rules.

In respect of the Issuance Mandate, the Board has no immediate plan to issue any new Shares pursuant thereto.

In order to comply with the provisions of Luxembourg Companies Law which requires, among others, any purchase of Shares by the Company to be, without prejudice to the principle of equal treatment of all Shareholders who are in the same position, within a specified price range approved by the Shareholders, it is proposed that the Board would only exercise the Share Buy-back Mandate to purchase any Shares within a price range of HK$5 and HK$40 per Share. In addition, in order to comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the maximum price at which the Company may purchase any Shares will not be higher by 5% or more than the average closing market price of the Shares on the Stock Exchange for the five trading days preceding the date of purchase of any such Shares. The price range referred to above should not be taken as any indication by the Board as to their views on the price at which the Shares may be traded on the Stock Exchange in the future (which is subject to, among others, the performance of the Company and market and other conditions which are not within the control of the Company) but is provided simply to facilitate a possible purchase by the Company of the Shares on the Stock Exchange in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.

The Board notes that under Luxembourg Companies Law, the Company is permitted to elect to hold in treasury any Shares it repurchases and such treasury Shares may subsequently be sold for cash, transferred pursuant to an employees' share scheme or cancelled. Under the Listing Rules, any Shares purchased by the Company may be held as treasury Shares or cancelled. The Board further notes that under Luxembourg Companies Law, any share cancellation and consecutive share capital decrease will require the holding of an extraordinary general meeting of the Shareholders to approve such cancellation and share capital decrease.

Accordingly, if the Company purchases any Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, the Company will either (i) convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Shareholders to approve the cancellation and share capital decrease in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations and/or (ii) hold such Shares in treasury, subject to market conditions and the Company's capital management needs at the relevant time any repurchases of Shares are made. If the Company holds any Shares in treasury, any sale or transfer of Shares in treasury will be made pursuant to the terms of the Issuance Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules and Luxembourg Companies Law.

9. Proposed renewal of Dual Listing Issuance Mandate

(a) Background

At the general meeting of the Shareholders held on March 19, 2026, Shareholders approved the grant to the Directors of a dual listing issuance mandate in connection with a potential dual listing of the Shares (in the form of ADSs) on a U.S. stock exchange (the "Expiring Dual Listing Issuance Mandate"). As of the date of this circular, the manner and timing of the potential dual listing have not yet been determined, and any plan to pursue the potential dual listing will be subject to change, including as a result of global market and other conditions.

The Expiring Dual Listing Issuance Mandate is valid until the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting to be held on June 4, 2026. In light of current global market and other conditions, it is uncertain whether the potential dual listing could be completed on or before June 4, 2026. Accordingly, in order to give the Company desirable flexibility to determine the appropriate timing to pursue the potential dual listing, it is proposed that at the Annual General Meeting, the Shareholders renew the grant to the Directors of the dual listing issuance mandate on the same terms as the Expiring Dual Listing Issuance Mandate which was previously approved by the Shareholders, as more fully described below.

THIS CIRCULAR DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR THE SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY ANY SECURITIES, AND ANY ISSUANCE OF SHARES BY THE COMPANY AT THE TIME OF THE POTENTIAL DUAL LISTING WOULD ONLY BE CONDUCTED, IF AT ALL, IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS, INCLUDING THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.

The Company will make further announcement(s) in relation to the potential dual listing in accordance with applicable laws and regulations as and when appropriate.

(b) Grant of Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate

In order to give the Company desirable flexibility to determine the price at which Shares (if any) may be issued at the time of the potential dual listing, and by doing so ensure that any such Share issuance would be conducted in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, it is proposed that the Shareholders renew the grant to the Directors of an issuance mandate to allot, issue or deal with additional Shares at the time of the potential dual listing within the limits of the Company's authorized capital as provided for in the Articles of Incorporation (the "Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate").


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The terms of the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate are the same as the Expiring Dual Listing Issuance Mandate and are set out below:

Scope of the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate:

The Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate will apply only to the issuance of Shares within the limits of the Company’s authorized capital as provided for in the Articles of Incorporation, if any, at the time of the potential dual listing.

Number of Shares subject to the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate:

The Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate will not create any additional dilution to Shareholders beyond the levels to be approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting as part of the Issuance Mandate.

The number of Shares that may be issued under the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate will not exceed 10% of the total number of issued Shares as of the date of passing of the proposed ordinary resolution (excluding treasury shares) contained in paragraph 10 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting, which is the same maximum number of Shares that may be allotted, issued or dealt with under the Issuance Mandate (i.e. a total of 138,693,962 Shares as of the Latest Practicable Date on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company (excluding treasury shares) remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting).

The Board will ensure that the maximum combined dilution impact on Shareholders pursuant to any issuance of Shares under the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate and any other issuance under the Issuance Mandate will not exceed the limit under the Issuance Mandate (i.e. 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) as of the date of the Annual General Meeting).

If any Shares are issued under the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate, such Shares will be in the form of ADSs that will represent a fixed number of Shares.

  • 16 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Issue or sale price of Shares:

Any Shares issued under the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate will be issued for a cash consideration at a price to investors (the “Issuance Price”) that will be not more than a 15% discount to the last closing price of the Shares immediately before the underwriting agreement for the issuance of Shares under the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate is signed. Such underwriting agreement will set out the number of Shares and the price per Share of such issuance.

In addition, to comply with Listing Rule 13.36(5), the Issuance Price of any Shares issued under the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate must not be at a 20% or more discount to Benchmarked Price of the Shares. For the purpose of paragraph (ii)(A) of the definition of “Benchmarked Price”, the date of the announcement of the proposed transaction involving the proposed issue of securities will refer to the date on which the Company publishes an announcement relating to the launch of a proposed offering of Shares to be issued under the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate.

Duration of the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate:

The Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate will be valid from the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting to be held on June 4, 2026 until the earlier of (i) the completion of the potential dual listing (where it will automatically terminate) and (ii) conclusion of the annual general meeting to be held in 2027. The Company will not utilize the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate if the potential dual listing is completed prior to the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

Use of Proceeds:

If any Shares are issued under the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate, it is currently expected that the net proceeds raised will be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes, which may include, but are not limited to, operating expenses, capital expenditures, the repayment of existing indebtedness, the repurchase of Shares and the financing of possible acquisitions. The Company will comply with the applicable requirements of the Listing Rules regarding the use of proceeds.

  • 17 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pending these uses, the Company plans to invest the net proceeds from the issuance in short-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed government obligations. The goal with respect to the investment of these net proceeds is capital preservation and liquidity so that such funds are readily available to fund the operations of the Company.

The expected use of proceeds from any such Share issuance is subject to change, and the above information is provided solely to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to approve the resolution relating to the grant of the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate at the Annual General Meeting, as required by the Listing Rules and Luxembourg legal requirements.

If any Shares are issued under the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate, the Company will publish an announcement to update the Shareholders regarding the number of Shares and the price at which such Shares are issued and the gross and net proceeds raised therefrom.

(c) Reasons for and Benefits of the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate

The Board believes it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to grant to the Directors the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate for the reasons as explained in the circular to Shareholders dated February 16, 2026 in relation to the grant of the Expiring Dual Listing Issuance Mandate and the reasons are set out again below.

  • Initial trading liquidity in the United States: The Board believes that, subject to global market and other conditions, the flexibility to issue Shares at the time of the potential dual listing has the potential to advance the anticipated benefits of the potential dual listing by providing initial trading liquidity in the United States.

  • Significantly improve the Company's ability to execute a Share issuance: The Board believes the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate would significantly improve the Company's ability to successfully execute such a Share issuance and thereby to advance the anticipated benefits of the potential dual listing. If the Company were to pursue a Share issuance at the time of the potential dual listing, the Company would, in accordance with customary

  • 18 -


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

market practice and applicable securities laws and with the assistance of underwriters, conduct a structured, arm's length bookbuilding and price determination process involving a broad group of potential investors. This process would take many factors into careful consideration, including investor demand, potential investor characteristics, the target level of proceeds to be raised and global market conditions during such period. The Company has not identified any specific preferred parties that would receive an allocation of Shares in any such Share issuance, and it is currently expected that any such Share issuance would be allocated among a broad group of investors following such a bookbuilding and price discovery process.

Although the Board would seek to minimize the discount at which any such Shares were issued, the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate would provide desirable flexibility to respond to fluctuating market conditions during the price determination process and to allocate Shares to potential shareholders whose investment policies require them to initiate or add to existing shareholdings at an appropriate discount to their assessment of the Company's intrinsic value (i.e., a percentage discount that is more consistent with the discounts observed for other share issuances under similar circumstances).

  • No additional dilution to Shareholders: The Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate will not create any additional dilution to Shareholders beyond what the Shareholders will approve via the Issuance Mandate. The Board will ensure that the maximum combined dilution impact on Shareholders pursuant to any issuance of Shares under the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate and any other issuance under the Issuance Mandate will not exceed the limit under the Issuance Mandate (i.e. 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares) as of the date of the Annual General Meeting).

In light of the anticipated benefits of a Share issuance at the time of the potential dual listing, the anticipated benefits of additional pricing flexibility in connection with such a Share issuance, and the careful balancing of these anticipated benefits against Shareholders' interest in limiting potential dilution, the Board believes the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Shareholders should note that if the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate is not granted by the Shareholders, the Company may allot, issue or deal with additional Shares at the time of the potential dual listing in accordance with the terms of the Issuance Mandate (if approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting). However, the Board believes that the reduced pricing flexibility afforded under the Issuance Mandate could impede the Company's ability to successfully execute an issuance of Shares at the time of the potential dual listing on favorable terms (or at all). This could in turn limit the anticipated benefits of the potential dual listing as limited initial trading liquidity could negatively impact the trading price of the Shares in the United States.

  • 19 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For example, under the Issuance Mandate, the issuance price of any Shares could not be at a discount of 10% or more to the Benchmarked Price, which would take into account not only the closing price of the Shares but also the average closing price of the Shares during a trailing five trading day period before the final issuance price of any such Shares is determined and would therefore be susceptible to any volatility in the trading price of the Shares before and during any bookbuilding process. As other share issuances under similar circumstances have generally priced at a discount to the then prevailing market price rather than trailing average prices, such susceptibility would present significant execution risk for an issuance of Shares at the time of the potential dual listing.

  1. Approval of the discharge granted to the Directors and KPMG Audit S.à r.l. for the exercise of their respective mandates during the year ended December 31, 2025

As required under Article 13.2 of the Articles of Incorporation and Article 461-7 of the Luxembourg Companies Law, it is proposed that the Shareholders approve by ordinary resolution the discharge to be granted to the Directors and the approved statutory auditor (réviseur d'entreprises agréé) of the Company for the exercise of their respective mandates during the year ended December 31, 2025.

  1. Approval of the remuneration to be granted to certain Directors

Under Article 13.2 of the Articles of Incorporation, the Shareholders shall approve by ordinary resolution the remuneration to be granted to Directors.

The Remuneration Committee has recommended that the remuneration of the independent non-executive Directors for the financial year ending December 31, 2026 be increased in view of the potential dual listing and after taking into account advice from the Company's independent compensation consultant, which advice included benchmarking the remuneration against the Company's Peer Group, which are primarily based in and listed in the United States of America.

It is proposed that the Shareholders approve the grant of the following remuneration to the Directors for the financial year ending December 31, 2026:

  • Non-executive Chairman of the Board – US$500,000 (no change from 2025);
  • Independent non-executive Director – US$200,000 (increased from US$145,000 in 2025);
  • Chairman of Audit Committee – US$40,000 (no change from 2025);
  • Chairman of Remuneration Committee – US$30,000 (increased from US$20,000 in 2025);

  • 20 -

  • Mr. Jerome Squire Griffith in respect of his service as a Director and as the chairman of the Remuneration Committee (from January 1, 2026 to June 4, 2026) and as the non-executive Chairman of the Board (from June 5, 2026 to December 31, 2026) – US$386,082;
  • Each of Ms. Claire Marie Bennett, Ms. Angela Iris Brav and Ms. Deborah Maria Thomas in respect of her service as a Director – US$200,000;
  • Mr. Glenn Robert Richter in respect of his service as a Director and the chairman of the Audit Committee – US$240,000; and

  • Mr. Sameer Suneja – US$115,616 (from June 4, 2026).

The Board will appoint and announce the new Chairman of the Remuneration Committee following the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

Recommendation in Relation to the Proposed Ordinary Resolutions Contained in Paragraphs 1 to 13 of the Notice of the Annual General Meeting

The Directors are of the view that the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in paragraphs 1 to 13 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting, including (i) the re-election of the retiring Director; and (ii) granting of the Issuance Mandate, the Share Buy-back Mandate and the Renewed Dual Listing Issuance Mandate, are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favor of all of the above proposed ordinary resolutions at the Annual General Meeting.

12. Proposed Amendments to the 2022 Share Award Scheme

(a) Proposed Amendments

The Shareholders approved the adoption of the 2022 Share Award Scheme at the Company’s general meeting on December 21, 2022. The 2022 Share Award Scheme is the arrangement under which the Company implements the LTIP by granting Options and RSUs that are settled with Shares.

In connection with the potential dual listing, the Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders for certain amendments to the 2022 Share Award Scheme, with such amendments to become effective conditional upon and subject to the effectiveness of the potential dual listing. The amendments are to enable (i) the grant and the settlement of the


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Awards under the 2022 Share Award Scheme over ADSs (in addition to Shares) and (ii) the exercise price of Options which are exercisable into ADSs to be determined by reference to the price of the ADSs on the U.S. stock exchange.

Option exercise price and waiver in respect of strict compliance with Rule 17.03E

Under Listing Rule 17.03E and as set out in section 5.2 of the 2022 Share Award Scheme, the exercise price of an Option must not be less than the higher of (i) the closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotation sheets on the offer date, which must be a trading day (ii) the average closing price of the Shares as stated in the Stock Exchange’s daily quotation sheets for the five business days preceding the offer date and (iii) the nominal value of the Shares.

Upon completion of the potential dual listing, as a dual listed company, the Company will have Shares traded in Hong Kong dollars on the Stock Exchange and ADSs traded on a U.S. stock exchange in US dollars. The Company believes it would be beneficial to the Company for the Board to have the flexibility to grant Options which are exercisable into Shares (in which case the exercise price will be determined by reference to the closing price of the Shares on the Stock Exchange in Hong Kong dollars) or ADSs (in which case the exercise price will be determined by reference to the closing price of the ADS on the U.S. stock exchange in US dollars).

The Company has made an application for, and the Stock Exchange has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Listing Rule 17.03E to allow the Company to determine the exercise price of an Option which is granted over ADSs by reference to the higher of (i) the closing price of the ADSs on the U.S. stock exchange on the offer date, which must be a trading day, (ii) the average closing price of the ADSs on the U.S. stock exchange for the five business days preceding the offer date and (iii) the nominal value of the Shares underlying the ADSs which are subject to the Option, subject to the conditions that (a) the amendments to the 2022 Share Award Scheme become effective and (b) the Company shall not grant any Option over Shares with an exercise price denominated in Hong Kong dollars unless such exercise price complies with Listing Rule 17.03E.

The waiver was granted on the basis that (i) the method for determining the exercise price of the Options which are exercisable into ADSs based on the market price of the ADSs substantially replicates the requirement in Listing Rule 17.03E and (ii) granting Options which are exercisable into ADSs with the exercise price determined with reference to the closing price of the ADSs on the U.S. stock exchange which are denominated in US dollars would better reflect the market value for the underlying securities which are subject to the Option grant.

The proposed amendments to the 2022 Share Award Scheme are set out in Appendix III to this circular.

  • 22 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The proposed amendments are subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

(b) Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr. Gendreau but including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the proposed ordinary resolution contained in paragraph 13 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and accordingly, recommend the Shareholders to vote in favor of this proposed ordinary resolution at the Annual General Meeting.

As Mr. Gendreau is a Participant in the 2022 Share Award Scheme, he abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board in respect of the proposed amendments. Save as disclosed above, none of the other Directors had any interest in the proposed amendments and therefore no other Director abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board in respect of the proposed amendments.

13. and 14. Proposed 2026 RSU Grant and Special TRSU Grant to Mr. Kyle Francis Gendreau

(a) Background

The Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders for the 2026 RSU Grant to be made to Mr. Kyle Francis Gendreau, the Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, as described below. Notwithstanding that such 2026 RSU Grant will be made pursuant to the 2022 Share Award Scheme and within the existing dilution limits thereunder, the Listing Rules and the 2022 Share Award Scheme require Shareholders' approval to be obtained as such grant would exceed the 0.1% Individual Threshold above which grants require Shareholders' approval under the Listing Rules.

The terms of the 2026 RSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau as described below are consistent with the terms of the Awards granted to Mr. Gendreau that were approved by Shareholders at the 2025 annual general meeting, save that the 2026 RSU Grant will be subject to an additional performance goal by reference to the Group's net sales growth rate, as further described below.

Overview of the LTIP

The LTIP is a critical component of the Group's compensation program for Equity-based LTIP Participants and other employees. By providing the opportunity for financial reward based on long-term Company performance and long-term growth in Share value, it aligns the interests of the Group's management with the interests of the Shareholders, fosters a long-term commitment to the Group and aids in the retention of Equity-based LTIP Participants and other managers in an industry in which the market for talent is highly competitive.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Remuneration Committee’s policy is for the LTIP to support the Company’s need to recruit, retain and motivate management in a manner that is consistent with generally accepted market practice for international branded consumer goods companies. While the Company’s Shares are listed on the Stock Exchange, its business operations are global and many of the companies with which the Company competes for management talent are based and listed in the United States of America. In evaluating the LTIP relative to market practice, the Remuneration Committee notes that 6 of the 10 Equity-based LTIP Participants, including the current Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, are based in the United States of America, and the Company’s joint corporate headquarters is located in the United States of America. In addition, the international companies that form part of the Company’s Peer Group for the purpose of executive compensation benchmarking and LTIP design are also primarily companies that are based in and listed in the United States of America and were identified by the Remuneration Committee on the basis of comparable industry sectors, business operations with revenue, and market capitalization. The Remuneration Committee considers that in order to achieve the objectives of the LTIP – particularly with regard to recruitment and retention – it is appropriate to consider the LTIP in light of the practices of relevant international companies such as those in the Peer Group, which are primarily based in and listed in the United States of America, and with which the Company competes for talent both in the United States of America and internationally. Having reviewed the relevant executive compensation practices of the Company’s Peer Group, the Remuneration Committee considers that the proposed 2026 RSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau as described in this circular is consistent with the relevant market practice.

Peer Group

The Peer Group for the purpose of the compensation of the Equity-based LTIP Participants (including the LTIP) currently comprises the following companies: Hanesbrands Inc., Under Armour, Inc., Skechers U.S.A., Inc., Carter’s, Inc., Tapestry, Inc., Wolverine World Wide, Inc., G-III Apparel Group, Ltd., Columbia Sportswear Company, Steven Madden, Ltd., Deckers Outdoor Corporation, Prada S.p.A, Burberry Group plc, Hugo Boss AG, Ermenegildo Zegna N.V., Kontoor Brands, Inc., Levi Strauss & Co., and Ralph Lauren Corporation.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The table below highlights how the Company's compensation philosophy is reflected in the LTIP:

What the Company does What the Company does not do
☑ Independent administration: The 2022 Share Award Scheme is administered by the Remuneration Committee (the members of which are all independent non-executive Directors). No Directors involved in the administration of the 2022 Share Award Scheme are eligible to receive Awards. ☒ NED participation: Non-executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the 2022 Share Award Scheme, meaning that no member of the Remuneration Committee is eligible to participate in the 2022 Share Award Scheme.
☑ Employee incentivization: Equity-based LTIP Participants and other employees of the Company are eligible to participate in the 2022 Share Award Scheme. ☒ Dividends or dividend equivalents: Dividends or other cash distributions to Participants do not accrue until Shares underlying vested awards have been issued or transferred to Participants. The 2012 Share Award Scheme and the 2022 Share Award Scheme do not provide for dividend equivalents.
☑ Managed dilution: The Remuneration Committee actively manages the dilution resulting from LTIP awards to ensure levels of Equity Dilution are in-line with market expectations and the Company's Peer Group. In addition to the Scheme Mandate Limit of 5%, the Remuneration Committee's policy, adopted in 2018, is that annual dilution from LTIP awards will not exceed 1.25%. The Company may also utilize the Share Buy-back Mandate, an employee benefit trust, and/or other measures as appropriate to further mitigate the dilutive effect of the LTIP awards. ☒ Share recycling: Shares withheld to account for tax liabilities or exercise price are not added back to the plan limit.
☑ Performance-based: A significant portion (50% of target LTIP Value) of an Equity-based LTIP Participant's annual awards is subject to performance conditions. ☒ Reward for poor performance: Vesting of performance-based awards is reduced, or such awards may not vest at all, if performance targets established by the Remuneration Committee are not met.

– 25 –


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

What the Company does

  • Roll-over of awards on Change in Control: Awards roll-over into equivalent awards in case of a change in control of the Company, unless roll-over of awards is not permitted under applicable laws or not agreed by the acquirer.
  • Double-trigger: Following a change in control of the Company, the vesting of awards that have been rolled over will accelerate only upon involuntary termination of employment without cause or voluntary resignation for good reason, in each case within two years following the change in control.
  • Long-term vesting: Performance-based awards are subject to a three-year cliff vesting period. Time-based awards are subject to a three or four-year pro rata vesting period.
  • Malus & clawback: Malus and clawback provisions apply to performance-based awards granted to the CEO, CFO and certain other Equity-based LTIP Participants, to enable recoupment of performance-based equity compensation.
  • Share ownership guidelines: The Board has adopted share ownership guidelines applicable to the CEO, CFO and certain other Equity-based LTIP Participants.

What the Company does not do

  • Single-trigger: Vesting of awards does not automatically accelerate as a result of a change in control of the Company alone, unless roll-over of awards is not permitted under applicable laws or not agreed by the acquirer.
  • Acceleration upon termination: Unvested awards will normally lapse upon termination of employment, other than in case of death or disability (except upon a double-trigger event following a change in control of the Company).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Historic LTIP implementation

During the years 2020 to 2022, in light of the challenges and uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting impacts on the Company's share price, and the difficulty of setting meaningful and reliable financial performance goals applicable to performance-related long-term incentive awards during the COVID-19 pandemic, in lieu of market-priced share options or performance-based or time-based RSUs, the Company granted Options with an exercise price that represented a significant premium to the market price of the Shares at the time of grant. By setting an exercise price for those options at a premium to the market price of the Shares (being 30% in 2020, 20% in 2021 and 10% in 2022), the Company believes that it has created a meaningful performance condition that is directly tied to the successful creation of future shareholder value and which allows the option holders to participate in the long-term creation of value for the Shareholders.

During the years 2023 to 2025, LTIP Awards were made only to the Equity-based LTIP Participants and comprised 50% of PRSUs and 50% of TRSUs based on the grant date value, while the LTIP for other managers was in the form of cash-based awards under which the amounts payable may increase depending on Share price appreciation.

The grants in each year were consistent with the Remuneration Committee's previously announced policy that the maximum Equity Dilution from all awards granted in each calendar year will not exceed 1.25% of the Company's issued share capital.

(b) Implementation of the LTIP in 2026

As in the past several years, it is intended that LTIP Awards during 2026 under the 2022 Share Award Scheme will only be made to the Equity-based LTIP Participants and the LTIP for other managers will be in the form of cash-based awards under which the amounts payable may increase depending on Share price appreciation.

In 2026, in line with the practices of the Company's Peer Group and relevant market practice, the annual LTIP awards for the Equity-based LTIP Participants will be comprised 50% of PRSUs and 50% of TRSUs based on the grant date value.

PRSUs

PRSUs will cliff vest three years after the grant date based on achievement of pre-established performance goals determined by reference to the Group's annual LTIP Adjusted EBITDA growth rate targets and net sales growth rate targets set at the time of the grant, which growth rate targets are expressed on a constant currency basis compared to the prior year. When setting the performance targets, the objective is for the targets to be sufficiently challenging to create appropriate pay-for-performance alignment as expected by the Shareholders, within parameters that are likely to be perceived by the Equity-based LTIP Participants to be achievable in order to create appropriate incentives.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The annual LTIP Adjusted EBITDA growth rate target (70% weighting) and the annual LTIP Sales growth rate target (30% weighting) for each year included in the three-year performance period have been established by the Remuneration Committee and will be communicated to the recipients of the PRSUs at the time of the grant. At the end of each year, the extent to which the annual growth target has been achieved will be determined in respect of 1/3 of the total PRSUs granted. In making such determination, the Remuneration Committee shall adjust either the performance goals or the calculation of the LTIP Adjusted EBITDA or the LTIP Sales to reflect the following occurrences affecting the Company during the performance period (to the extent such occurrences affect the year-over-year comparability of LTIP Adjusted EBITDA or LTIP Sales):

  • the effect of changes in laws, regulations, or accounting principles, methods or estimates;
  • changes to amortization of lease right-of-use assets resulting from the write down or impairment of such assets or the reversal of impairments;
  • the planned, unrealized LTIP Adjusted EBITDA or LTIP Sales associated with a business segment, division, or unit or product group that is sold or discontinued (where such sale or discontinuation was unplanned);
  • results from an unplanned acquired business and costs related to such unplanned acquisition;
  • restructuring and workforce severance costs pursuant to a plan approved by the Board and the Company's chief executive officer;
  • unusual and infrequently occurring items as defined by IASB IFRS and any other unusual and exceptional events outside the ordinary course of business; and
  • changes to the financial reporting standards used by the Company from IFRS to US GAAP and any resulting impact on calculation of the LTIP Adjusted EBITDA or LTIP Sales,

provided that such adjustment is guided by the principles of the LTIP and alignment of Shareholders' and participants' interests.

PRSUs will vest only upon completion of the three-year performance period to the extent the annual targets have been satisfied. PRSUs will ensure that there is linkage between the Company's stated long-term strategic and financial goals and executive compensation.

Because of the Stock Exchange's strict requirements with respect to the disclosure of forecasts of profits or losses, the Company (like other Hong Kong-listed companies) does not provide earnings guidance. For the same reason, the Company has not disclosed in this circular the LTIP Adjusted EBITDA or LTIP Sales growth rate targets because such targets are likely to be treated as forecasts. If such forecasts are disclosed by the Company prospectively, or before the end of the three-year performance period, the Company would need to comply with certain Listing Rules requirements, including disclosing the principal assumptions upon which the forecasts are made, obtaining a confirmation from its auditors that they have reviewed the accounting policies and calculations for the forecasts and making an appropriate announcement if, during the forecast period, an even occurs which, had it been known when the forecast was made, would have caused any of the assumptions to have been materially different. The Board considers that it is not in a


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

position to make what would under the Listing Rules be considered to be a forecast of profits and losses covering the three-year performance period, and that it would be impracticable for the Company to comply with these requirements in respect of the LTIP Adjusted EBITDA or LTIP Sales growth rate targets. The Board also notes that there is a risk that Shareholders or potential investors in the Company may confuse such targets as the Company's earnings guidance, which they are not intended to be. The Company will, however, commit to retrospectively disclosing the LTIP Adjusted EBITDA or LTIP Sales growth targets in the Company's annual report following the end of the three-year performance period.

TRSUs

TRSUs will vest pro rata over a three year period on each anniversary of the grant date. TRSUs aid in the retention of Participants since the Shares will vest over a period of time. Long-term performance is incentivized, and the interests of the Equity-based LTIP Participants and Shareholders are aligned, as the value of the TRSUs depends on the market value of the Company's Shares and the shares underlying TRSUs help the relevant Equity-based LTIP to meet their applicable share ownership levels under the Company's Share Ownership Guidelines.

(c) Elements of Management Compensation Approach

The Company's approach to the annual compensation packages for its Equity-based LTIP Participants is to provide a balanced mix of compensation elements that includes the following: (i) base salary, (ii) short-term cash incentive in the form of an annual bonus based on annual financial targets, and (iii) long-term equity-based incentive awards under the LTIP, including PRSUs and TRSUs. The allocation of compensation between these elements for each of the Equity-based LTIP Participants is determined by the Remuneration Committee on an annual basis, taking into account advice from the Company's independent compensation consultant, which advice includes benchmarking against the Company's Peer Group. Target annual bonus and target LTIP value are based on a percentage of each individual's base salary.

The allocations of these compensation elements for the Equity-based LTIP Participants are currently as follows:

  • Chief Executive Officer: target annual bonus of 150% of base salary, and target LTIP value of 500% of base salary;
  • Chief Financial Officer: target annual bonus of 100% of base salary, and target LTIP value of 200% of base salary; and
  • Other Equity-based LTIP Participants: target annual bonus of between 40% to 75% of base salary, and target LTIP value of between 70% to 150% of base salary.

  • 30 -


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Accordingly, the target LTIP value for the Equity-based LTIP Participants who are members of the Company's senior management represents between approximately 46.2% and 66.7% of each such individual's total target annual compensation. Taking into account PRSUs and target annual bonus, the performance-based elements of the compensation for the Equity-based LTIP Participants who are members of the Company's senior management represents between approximately 46.2% and 53.3% of the Equity-based LTIP Participants' total target annual compensation. This illustrates the Remuneration Committee's and the Company's emphasis on pay-for-performance for the Company's Equity-based LTIP Participants.

(d) Proposed 2026 RSU Grant to Mr. Kyle Francis Gendreau

Consistent with the annual compensation for the previous financial years, an annual LTIP Award consisting of RSUs to Mr. Gendreau is proposed to be approved by Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.

As part of the Company's annual executive compensation program, on April 10, 2026, the Remuneration Committee proposed that the 2026 RSU Grant be made to Mr. Gendreau as detailed below. If approved by the Shareholders, the grant is expected to be made to Mr. Gendreau as soon as practicable following the Annual General Meeting.

The aggregate target LTIP Value of the 2026 RSU Grant proposed to be granted to Mr. Gendreau in 2026 is US$7,535,838, which is based on 500% of his base salary of US$1,507,168 for the year 2026 (of which 50% of the target LTIP Value will be in the form of PRSUs and 50% will be in the form of TRSUs).

The tables below set out the grant date value of, and the potential number of Shares underlying, the 2026 RSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau. The numbers of Shares set out below have been calculated for illustrative purposes only based on a per Share price of HK$13.12, being the lowest closing market price of a Share during the period that began on April 1, 2025 and ended on the Latest Practicable Date. The closing market price of a Share on April 9, 2026 (being the last trading day prior to April 10, 2026, the date on which Remuneration Committee proposed that the 2026 RSU Grant be made to Mr. Gendreau) was HK$15.45.

The exact number of Shares underlying the RSUs proposed to be granted to Mr. Gendreau will be determined by dividing the target LTIP Value of RSUs by the higher of (i) the closing price of a Share on the grant date and (ii) the average closing price of a Share for the five trading days immediately preceding the grant date, provided that the maximum number of Shares underlying the 2026 RSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau in 2026 will be 6,754,210 Shares.

  • 31 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The final number of Shares vested under the RSUs will vary depending on the level of achievement of performance conditions applicable to the PRSUs granted to Mr. Gendreau. For the avoidance of doubt, the actual realized value of the 2026 RSU Grant will depend on the Share price at the time of vesting of the RSUs.

Notes:
(1) TRSUs vest in equal annual instalments over a three-year period following the date of grant.
(2) PRSUs cliff vest three years following grant based on achievement of performance conditions. Further details on performance conditions for the PRSUs are described in “- (b) Implementation of the LTIP in 2026” above.

The Company's malus and clawback policy will apply to the PRSUs included within the 2026 RSU Grant. Under the policy, if the Company determines that it must prepare an accounting restatement due to material non-compliance with any applicable financial reporting requirements resulting from the individual's fraud or misconduct, the Company has the power to seek to recover in respect of vested PRSUs and reduce in respect of unvested PRSUs the amount of erroneously awarded performance-based compensation received by the individual.

As provided in the 2022 Share Award Scheme, the 2026 RSU Grant does not carry any right to vote at general meetings of the Company, or any dividend, transfer or other rights (including those arising on the winding-up of the Company).


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It is expected that the annual 2026 RSU grants to all Participants (including Mr. Gendreau and the other Equity-based LTIP Participants) under the 2022 Share Award Scheme in 2026 will result in an Equity Dilution level of not more than approximately 0.63% to 0.75% (assuming target level vesting of PRSUs) and not more than approximately 0.94% to 1.13% (assuming maximum level vesting of PRSUs). The expected Equity Dilution levels have been calculated based on a per Share price of HK$15.70 and HK$13.12, being the closing market price of a Share on the Latest Practicable Date and the lowest closing market price of a Share during the period that began on April 1, 2025 and ended on the Latest Practicable Date, respectively.

The exact number of Shares underlying the annual 2026 RSUs granted to all Participants (including Mr. Gendreau and the other Equity-based LTIP Participants) will be determined by dividing the aggregate target LTIP Value of such RSUs by a price (the "Grant Date Price") equal to the higher of the closing price of a Share on the grant date and (ii) the average closing price of a Share for the five trading days immediately preceding the grant date, provided that the maximum number of Shares underlying the 2026 RSU grants to be granted to all Participants (including Mr. Gendreau and the other Equity-based LTIP Participants) in 2026 will be 15,560,757 Shares.

Benefits to the Company and Shareholders of the 2026 RSU Grant

The Company's practice is to incentivize, reward and retain Equity-based LTIP Participants by providing annual compensation packages. The 2026 RSU Grant forms part of Mr. Gendreau's annual compensation package and is intended to continue ensuring the alignment between the interests of Mr. Gendreau and the long-term interests of Shareholders. TRSUs aid in the retention of Equity-based LTIP Participants and reward long-term performance. Similarly, PRSUs ensure that there is a greater linkage between the Company's stated long-term strategic and financial goals and executive compensation.

The following table sets out a breakdown of the various annual compensation elements for Mr. Gendreau in 2026 assuming the 2026 RSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau is approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Notes:

(1) The 2026 figures are prospective amounts consisting of: base salary, estimated allowances and other benefits in kind, target bonus opportunity (150% of salary), total target LTIP value (500% of salary) based on the grant date fair market value of Shares assuming target-level achievement of performance conditions applicable to PRSUs, and estimated contributions to post-employment plans.

(2) Annual base salary in effect from March 29, 2026.

(e) Proposed Special TRSU Grant to Mr. Kyle Francis Gendreau

The Company is seeking the approval of Shareholders for a Special TRSU Grant to be made to Mr. Gendreau, as described below. The Special TRSU Grant is proposed to be made to Mr. Gendreau to recognize the additional responsibilities that he has assumed in connection with the potential dual listing and to further align his interests with the interests of Shareholders. Notwithstanding that such Special TRSU Grant will be made pursuant to the 2022 Share Award Scheme and within the existing dilution limits thereunder, the Listing Rules and the 2022 Share Award Scheme require Shareholders' approval to be obtained as such grant would exceed the 0.1% Individual Threshold above which grants require Shareholders' approval under the Listing Rules.

On April 10, 2026, the Remuneration Committee proposed that the Special TRSU Grant be made to Mr. Gendreau as detailed below. The Remuneration Committee believes that Mr. Gendreau and the Company's senior managers have demonstrated strong and effective leadership while successfully navigating the Company's business through challenging macro-economic conditions in recent years. As the Company executes its strategic priorities to drive profitable growth and pursues a potential dual listing of the Shares in the United States, the Remuneration Committee has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders to incentivize the long-term retention of Mr. Gendreau through the Special TRSU Grant. The Special TRSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau is one-time in nature and is not a component of the Company's annual executive compensation program. In addition, the Company's executive compensation program may differ from that of other Hong Kong listed companies to reflect the need to attract and retain leadership with a global skillset. If approved by the Shareholders, the Special TRSU Grant is expected to be made to Mr. Gendreau as soon as practicable following the Annual General Meeting.

The TRSUs granted in connection with the Special TRSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau will be eligible to vest in equal annual instalments over a four year period following the date of grant.

The LTIP Value of the Special TRSU Grant to be granted to Mr. Gendreau is US$4,755,626, which is based on approximately 315% of his base salary of US$1,507,168. Based on a per Share price of HK$13.12, the lowest closing market price of a Share during the period that began on April 1, 2025 and ended on the Latest Practicable Date, the TRSUs included in the Special TRSU Grant would represent


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2,841,580 Shares. The exact number of Shares underlying the Special TRSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau will be determined by dividing the LTIP Value of the Special TRSU Grant by the Grant Date Price, provided that the maximum number of Shares underlying the Special TRSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau will be 2,841,580 Shares.

As provided in the 2022 Share Award Scheme, the Special TRSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau does not carry any right to vote at general meetings of the Company, or any dividend, transfer or other rights (including those arising on the winding-up of the Company).

Benefits to the Company and the Shareholders of the Special TRSU Grant

The Special TRSU Grant is intended to incentivize Mr. Gendreau's retention as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company during the execution of the potential dual listing which is viewed as a transformative step for the Company. The potential dual listing is expected to expand the Company's shareholder base and provide enhanced access to the Company's shares for investors. Maintaining management continuity has also become increasingly important in light of recent senior leadership changes at the Company. In designing the Special TRSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau, the Remuneration Committee took into account advice from the Company's independent compensation consultant and considered in particular challenges associated with retention pressures from a high quality leadership team that needs to manage the complexities of the Company's business in the midst of a turbulent economic environment impacting the travel industry. The Remuneration Committee has determined that a four year vesting period, rather than the usual three year vesting period applicable to annual LTIP Awards, is appropriate to support retention over a longer term vesting period. The LTIP value of the Special TRSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau has been set at a level that, upon the independent compensation consultant's advice, the Remuneration Committee has determined is reasonable, fair and competitive in serving its incentivization and retentive purposes.

The Remuneration Committee also intends to make exceptional one-off grants of TRSUs to certain other Participants to incentivize and reward them for their dedication and commitment required for the potential dual listing, details of which will be announced when such grants have been made.

It is expected that the special TRSU grants to all Participants (including Mr. Gendreau) under the 2022 Share Award Scheme will result in an Equity Dilution level of not more than approximately $0.31\%$ to $0.37\%$. The expected Equity Dilution levels have been calculated based on a per Share price of HK$15.70 and HK$13.12, being the closing market price of a Share on the Latest Practicable Date and the lowest closing market price of a Share during the period that began on April 1, 2025 and ended on the Latest Practicable Date, respectively.

  • 35 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The exact number of Shares underlying the special TRSUs granted to all Participants (including Mr. Gendreau) will be determined by dividing the LTIP Value of such TRSUs by the Grant Date Price, provided that the maximum number of Shares underlying the special TRSUs to be granted to all Participants (including Mr. Gendreau) will be 5,128,084 Shares.

Since 2018 the Remuneration Committee has managed the Equity Dilution from awards under the Company's Share Award Schemes so that the maximum Equity Dilution from all awards granted in each calendar year will not exceed 1.25% of the Company's issued share capital. For the awards planned to be made during 2026, depending on the Grant Date Price, it is possible that the aggregate Equity Dilution from (i) the annual 2026 RSU grants (ii) the special TRSU grants, and (iii) the sign-on grants made to two new members of the Company's senior management team on April 2, 2026, could, if the level of achievement of the performance conditions applicable to the PRSUs included in the annual 2026 RSU grants exceeds target levels, exceed 1.25%. For illustrative purposes, at a Grant Date Price of HK$15.70, being the closing market price of a Share on the Latest Practicable Date, the maximum Equity Dilution from all such grants would be approximately 1.31% (assuming maximum level vesting of the PRSUs included in the annual 2026 RSU grants), while at target level vesting of such PRSUs the maximum Equity Dilution from all such grants would be approximately 0.99%. As discussed above, the Remuneration Committee has determined that all grants proposed to be made during 2026 are appropriate and necessary to retain and incentivize Mr. Gendreau and the other Equity-based LTIP Participants and accordingly are in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, notwithstanding the possibility that the maximum Equity Dilution from such grants could exceed 1.25%. In addition, the Remuneration Committee notes that from August 2024 to March 2025, the Company repurchased a total of 79,301,100 Shares, representing approximately 5.41% of the issued and outstanding Shares (including treasury shares) as of the Latest Practicable Date. Such Share repurchases were intended, in part, to help offset the dilutive effect of awards under the Share Award Scheme.

(f) Listing Rules Implications

The Listing Rules require the approval of shareholders to be obtained where any grant of awards in respect of new shares (excluding grant of options) to a director (other than an independent non-executive director) or chief executive would result in the shares issued and to be issued in respect of all awards granted (excluding any awards lapsed in accordance with the terms of the share award scheme) to such individual in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant representing in aggregate over 0.1% of the shares in issue.

As the total number of Shares issued and to be issued to Mr. Gendreau pursuant to the 2026 RSU Grant and the Special TRSU Grant in the 12-month period up to April 10, 2026 (being the date on which the Remuneration Committee (with the approval of the Independent Non-Executive Directors) approved the recommendation to the Shareholders


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

of the proposed 2026 RSU Grant and the Special TRSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau) would exceed the 0.1% Individual Threshold referred to above, the 2026 RSU Grant is subject to the approval of the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting. As required under Listing Rule 17.04(4), Mr. Gendreau, his associates and all core connected persons of the Company are required to abstain from voting in favor of the proposed ordinary resolution contained in paragraphs 15 and 16 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting to approve the 2026 RSU Grant and the Special TRSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau, respectively.

Due to the interests of Mr. Gendreau in the 2026 RSU Grant and the Special TRSU Grant, Mr. Gendreau abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board in respect of the 2026 RSU Grant and the Special TRSU Grant to himself. Save as disclosed above, none of the other Directors had any interest in the 2026 RSU Grant and the Special TRSU Grant and therefore no other Director abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board in respect of such grants.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, assuming the maximum 6,754,210 Shares underlying the 2026 RSU Grant and the maximum 2,841,580 Shares underlying the Special TRSU Grant to Mr. Gendreau are issued to Mr. Gendreau upon vesting, the number of new Shares available for future grant under the scheme mandate of the Share Award Scheme will be 38,056,223 Shares.

(g) Listing Approval

The Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange has previously granted its approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, new Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise or vesting of Awards which may be granted under the 2022 Share Award Scheme.

(h) Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr. Gendreau but including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in paragraphs 15 and 16 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting relating to the 2026 RSU Grant and the Special TRSU Grant, respectively, to Mr. Gendreau is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors (other than Mr. Gendreau but including the independent non-executive Directors) recommend the Shareholders to vote in favor of these proposed ordinary resolutions at the Annual General Meeting.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As of the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,466,240,721 Shares (out of which 79,301,100 Shares were held as treasury shares).

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in paragraph 9 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the Annual General Meeting to be held on June 4, 2026, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Buy-back Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Buy-back Mandate remains in force, a total of 138,693,962 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as of the date of the Annual General Meeting (excluding treasury shares) within the limits referred to in paragraphs 7 and 8 of the information on the proposed resolutions at the Annual General Meeting in the Letter from the Board.

As stated in paragraphs 7 and 8 of the information on the proposed resolutions at the Annual General Meeting in the Letter from the Board, if the Company purchases any Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate, the Company will either (i) convene an extraordinary general meeting of the Shareholders to approve the cancellation and share capital decrease in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations and/or (ii) hold such Shares in treasury, subject to market conditions and the Company's capital management needs at the relevant time any repurchases of Shares are made.

To the extent that any treasury shares are deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, 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, which may include approval by the Board that (i) the Company would not (or would procure its broker not to) give any instructions to HKSCC to vote at general meetings for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company would give clear written instructions to its share registrar and the relevant broker to update the record to clearly identify those repurchased Shares held in CCASS as treasury shares.

APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

2. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Share buy-back 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 and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a buy-back will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK

Shares buy-back must be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation and the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Luxembourg. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on the Stock Exchange for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Subject to the foregoing, any buy-back by the Company may be made out of the Company's funds which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a new issue of Shares made for the purpose of the buy-back. Any amount of premium payable on the purchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be paid out of the funds which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or from sums standing to the credit of the Company's share premium account.

4. IMPACT OF SHARE BUY-BACK

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 December 31, 2025) in the event that the Share Buy-back Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Buy-back 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.

| April 2026 (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 15.83 | 14.61 |

6. GENERAL

To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-back 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 Share Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Luxembourg.

The Company has confirmed that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.

The Company intends to hold any Shares which it repurchases under the Share Buy-back Mandate in treasury.


APPENDIX II

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

7. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-back 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 (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the Shareholders’ interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Company and taking into consideration the interests of the substantial shareholders of the Company (as defined in the Listing Rules) in the voting rights of the Company as of the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which would arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of an exercise of the proposed Share Buy-back Mandate. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

8. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY

During the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
