2. THE ISSUE MANDATE

The Directors have been granted a general unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with the Shares pursuant to the ordinary resolution passed at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 22 May 2025 (the "2025 AGM"). As at the Latest Practicable Date, such general mandate has not been utilized and will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, such buyback mandate has not been utilized and will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. Therefore, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM that the Directors be granted a general unconditional mandate to exercise all powers of the Company to repurchase the Shares for a total number not exceeding 10% of the number of the issued Shares as at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Issue Mandate and the Buyback Mandate will remain in effect until whichever is the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Bye-laws or any applicable laws to be held; or (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting revoking or varying such mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has in issue an aggregate of 400,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolutions for the approval of the Issue Mandate and the Buyback Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased during the period from the Latest Practicable Date until the AGM, the Company would be allowed to allot, issue and deal with a maximum of 80,000,000 Shares and to repurchase a maximum of 40,000,000 Shares, respectively.

4. EXTENSION OF ISSUE MANDATE

In addition, if the Issue Mandate and the Buyback Mandate are granted, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to extend the Issue Mandate by the addition to the number of the Shares which may be issued, allotted and dealt with or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be issued, allotted and dealt with by the Directors pursuant to the Issue Mandate of an amount representing the number of the issued Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Buyback Mandate.

Details of the extension of the Issue Mandate are set out in the ordinary resolution as referred to in resolution no. 8 of the AGM Notice.

5. RE-ELECTION OF THE RETIRING DIRECTORS

Pursuant to Bye-law no. 84(1) of the Bye-laws, at each annual general meeting of the Company, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at least once every three years.

Pursuant to Bye-law no. 84(2) of the Bye-laws, a retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election and shall continue to act as a Director throughout the meeting at which he retires. The Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to ascertain the number of directors to retire by rotation) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those of the other Directors subject to retirement by rotation who have been longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.

In accordance with the above provisions of the Bye-laws, Mr. CHAN Ki Chun, Mr. YEUNG Cho Yin, William and Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon will retire from office and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election as Directors at the AGM. Biographical details of the retiring Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to code provision B.2.3 of the Corporate Governance Code set out in Appendix C1 to the Listing Rules, any further appointment of independent non-executive Director serving for more than nine years should be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders. As Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon has served as an independent non-executive director of the Company for more than 9 years since 19 November 2015, a separate resolution will be proposed for his re-election at the 2026 AGM to be approved by Shareholders.

Taking into consideration Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon's valuable contributions, impartiality and independent judgement demonstrated at meetings of the Board and the various Board Committee and his contributions to the Board in the past, and having considered that the continued appointment of Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon as long serving independent non-executive Director would not affect his exercise of independent judgements, the Board is satisfied that Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon has the required character, integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of an independent non-executive Director. Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon's qualifications and related expertise will continue to bring a wide range of business expertise to the Board. Being a long-serving Director, Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon has developed an in-depth understanding of the Company's operations and business, and has expressed objective views and given independent insights to the Company over the years. There is no empirical evidence that the long service of Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon would impair his independent judgements.

As such, the Board voted in favour of the motion considered at a Board meeting held on 25 March 2026 (with Mr. Chan Kim Hung, Simon himself abstaining from voting) that the re-election of Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon as an independent non-executive Director is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the Board therefore recommended the Shareholders to vote in favour of the re-election of Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon as an independent non-executive Director.

On 25 March 2026, the nomination committee of the Board (the "Nomination Committee"), having reviewed the composition of the Board, nominated the retiring Directors Mr. CHAN Ki Chun, Mr. YEUNG Cho Yin, William and Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon to the Board for it to recommend to the Shareholders for re-election at the AGM. Mr. Chan Ki Chun, being the chairman of the Nomination Committee, and Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon, being a member of the Nomination Committee, abstained from discussion and voting at the Nomination Committee meeting regarding their respective nominations.

The nominations were made in accordance with the nomination policy of the Company and the objective criteria (including skills, knowledge, experience and professional expertise, character and integrity and potential time commitment for the Board and/or committee responsibilities), with due regard to the benefits of diversity as set out under the board diversity policy of the Company. The Nomination Committee has also taken into account the respective contributions of Mr. CHAN Ki Chun, Mr. YEUNG Cho Yin, William and Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon to the Board and their commitment to their roles.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Nomination Committee considered that in view of their diverse and different educational backgrounds and professional knowledge and experience as set out in Appendix II to this circular, Mr. CHAN Ki Chun, Mr. YEUNG Cho Yin, William and Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon will bring valuable perspectives, knowledge, skills and experiences to the Board for its efficient and effective functioning and their appointments will contribute to the diversity of the Board appropriate to the requirements of the Company's business. The Nomination Committee was also satisfied with the independence of Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon having regard to the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon was not involved in the daily management of the Company and was not in any relationships which would interfere with the exercise of its independent judgment.

Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon, who is proposed to be re-elected as an independent non-executive Director, confirmed to the Company that he did not, as at the Latest Practicable Date, hold six or more directorships in any listed companies.

On 25 March 2026, the Board accepted the Nomination Committee's nominations, considered that Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon was still independent in accordance with the independence guidelines set out in the Listing Rules and would be able to devote sufficient time to the Board and continue to provide balanced and objective view to the Company's affairs as well as resolved to recommend Mr. CHAN Ki Chun, Mr. YEUNG Cho Yin, William and Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon to stand for re-election by the Shareholders at the AGM. The Board considers that the re-election of Mr. CHAN Ki Chun, Mr. YEUNG Cho Yin, William and Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon as the Directors is in the best interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole. Mr. CHAN Ki Chun, Mr. YEUNG Cho Yin, William and Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon abstained from discussion and voting at the Board meeting regarding their respective nominations.

Further information about the Board's composition and diversity and Directors' attendance record at the Board/committee meetings for the year of 2025 are disclosed in the corporate governance report of the 2025 annual report of the Company.

All independent non-executive Directors except Dr. KOU Zhihui, have served the Board for more than nine years. The length of tenure of all independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. JIM Fun Kwong, Frederick, Mr. CHAN Kim Hung, Simon and Dr. KOU Zhihui with the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date was more than 10 years and 10 years and almost 3 years.

6. RE-APPOINTMENT OF THE AUDITOR

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE BUYBACK MANDATE

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required pursuant to Rule 10.06(1)(b) and other relevant provisions of the Listing Rules, to provide you with the requisite information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the grant of the Buyback Mandate.

1. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 400,000,000 Shares were in issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities to subscribe for the Shares.

Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased during the period from the Latest Practicable Date until the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Buyback Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 40,000,000 Shares representing 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

The Directors have no present intention to repurchase any Shares but consider that the Buyback Mandate will provide the Company with the flexibility to make such repurchase when appropriate and beneficial to the Company. Such repurchases, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, may lead to enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or the earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The number of the Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms on which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

3. SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR REPURCHASES

The Company is empowered by the Bye-laws to repurchase its Shares. In repurchasing the Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Bye-laws, the applicable laws of Bermuda and all other applicable laws, rules and regulations, as the case may be.

Any repurchase of the Shares may only be effected out of capital paid up on the repurchased Shares or out of the funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose. The premium, if any, payable on a repurchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of funds of the Company otherwise available for dividend or distribution or out of the Company's share premium account.

The Company may not repurchase its own Shares 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 in effect from time to time.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE BUYBACK MANDATE

As compared with the position disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 31 December 2025, the Directors consider that there could be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing level of the Company in the event that the proposed repurchases under the Buyback Mandate were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchases period. However, the Directors do not propose 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 its gearing level which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the proposed resolution for the Buyback Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Byelaws and the applicable laws of Bermuda.

5. INTENTION TO SELL SHARES

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the proposed resolution for the Buyback Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any of their Shares to the Company.

No core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any of their Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to sell any of their Shares to the Company, in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of the Shares.

6. CONSEQUENCES UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a repurchase of the Shares by the Company 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 for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's 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. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any such consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code if the Buyback Mandate is exercised.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge of the Directors, SFK Group held 300,000,000 Shares representing 75% of the issued share capital of the Company. SFK Group is owned as to approximately 71.39% by Good Target which in turn is wholly and beneficially owned by Mr. Lo. By virtue of the SFO, Good Target and Mr. Lo are deemed to be interested in the Shares held by SFK Group.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR THE BUYBACK MANDATE

If the Buyback Mandate is exercised in full (and assuming that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date on which the Buyback Mandate, if approved by the Shareholders, is exercised in full), the total number of the Shares which will be repurchased pursuant to the Buyback Mandate shall be 40,000,000 Shares (being 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date). The percentage shareholding of the Controlling Shareholders will be increased to approximately 83.33% of the issued share capital of the Company immediately following the full exercise of the Buyback Mandate. Any repurchase of the Shares which results in the number of the Shares held by the public being reduced to less than the prescribed percentage of the Shares then in issue could only be implemented with the approval of the Stock Exchange to waive the Listing Rules requirements regarding the public float under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules. However, the Directors have no present intention to exercise the Buyback Mandate to such an extent that, in the circumstances, there is insufficient public float as prescribed under the Listing Rules.

7. SHARE PRICES

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

Price per Shares
Highest HK$ Lowest HK$
2025
April 0.610 0.540
May 0.640 0.520
June 0.680 0.530
July 0.600 0.550
August 0.610 0.510
September 0.540 0.475
October 0.520 0.475
November 0.500 0.440
December 0.460 0.445
2026
January 0.475 0.450
February 0.730 0.495
March 0.660 0.560
April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) 0.600 0.520

8. SHARE REPURCHASES MADE BY THE COMPANY

APPENDIX III

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

Prior to the holding of a general meeting, the Board may postpone, and at a general meeting, the chairman may, (without the consent of the meeting) or shall at the direction of the meeting, adjourn the meeting from time to time (or indefinitely) and from place to place, but no business shall be transacted at any adjourned or postponed meeting other than the business which might lawfully have been transacted at the meeting had the adjournment or postponement not taken place. Notice of a postponement must be given to all Members by any means as the Board may determine. When a meeting is adjourned for fourteen (14) days or more, at least seven (7) clear days' Notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given specifying the time and place of the adjourned meeting but it shall not be necessary to specify in such notice the nature of the business to be transacted at the adjourned meeting and the general nature of the business to be transacted.

Each person so authorised under the provisions of this Bye-law shall be deemed to have been duly authorised without further evidence of the facts and be entitled to exercise the same rights and powers on behalf of the clearing house (or its nominee(s)) as if such person was the registered holder of the shares of the Company held by the clearing house (or its nominee(s)) in respect of the number and class of shares specified in the relevant authorisation including, the right to speak and vote and, where a show of hands is allowed, the right to vote individually on a show of hands.

An alternate Director may be removed at any time by the person or body which appointed him and, subject thereto, the office of alternate Director shall continue until the happening of any event which, if he were a Director, would cause him to vacate such office or if his appointer ceases for any reason to be a Director.
