5. Proposed Non-distribution of Final Dividend for 2025
Taking into comprehensive consideration the capital reserve requirements for the expansion of the Company's core business and the R&D of products and technologies, the Board has resolved not to recommend the payment of the final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2025, in order to further enhance financial stability, strengthen risk resistance, support sustainable operation and development, matain steady cash flow of the Company, and maximize long-term interests for Shareholders.
6. Re-appointment of Auditors of the Company for 2026
The Board proposes to re-appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers as the Company’s domestic and overseas financial reporting auditors for 2026, for a term commencing from the date of approval at the AGM to the conclusion of the next annual general meeting, and proposes to the AGM to authorize the Board or the authorized representative of the Board to determine the remuneration of PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers for serving as the Company’s auditors for 2026.
The remuneration will be further negotiated and determined between the Company and PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP and PricewaterhouseCoopers on a fair and reasonable basis, taking into account factors such as the Group’s business scale and industry, expected audit scope (including not only the audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers of the Company’s financial statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards, but also the audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers Zhong Tian LLP of the statutory accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries prepared under the Chinese Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises), audit timetable, manpower and resources required. It is expected that the auditors’ remuneration for 2026 shall not exceed RMB2.2 million. This estimate of the auditors’ remuneration is preliminary and may be adjusted during the course of the engagement due to changes in the scope of the audit work and other relevant factors. Unless there are material changes in the aforementioned basis or assumptions, the final audit fees are not expected to deviate materially from the preliminary estimate of the auditors’ remuneration range for 2026.
The resolution was considered and approved at the Board meeting on May 26, 2026, and is hereby submitted to the AGM as an ordinary resolution for consideration and approval.

APPENDIX III
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolution to be proposed at the AGM in relation to the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company consisted of 4,713,900 Domestic Unlisted Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) and 61,952,800 H Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any). Subject to the passing of the proposed special resolution granting the Share Repurchase Mandate to the Board at the AGM and based on the assumption that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM, the Directors will be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 6,195,280 H Shares under the Share Repurchase Mandate during the Relevant Period for Share Repurchase, representing 10% of the total number of H Shares in issue (excluding treasury shares, if any) as at the date of the AGM.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no treasury shares.
The exercise of the Share Repurchase Mandate is further subject to:
(i) the obtainment of an approval from all relevant regulatory authorities having jurisdiction over the Company (if applicable) as required by the laws, regulations and rules of the PRC; and
(ii) the Company not being required by any of its creditors to repay or to provide guarantees in respect of any amount due to any of them (or if the Company is so required by any of its creditors, the Company having, at its absolute discretion, repaid or provided guarantee in respect of such amount) pursuant to the notification procedures under the Company Law, the applicable laws of the PRC and the Articles of Association. If the Company determines to repay any amount to any of its creditors, the Company will do so out of its internal funds.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF H SHARES
The Directors believe that the grant of the Share Repurchase Mandate under the current circumstances will demonstrate the Company's confidence in its own business outlook and prospects, and will ultimately benefit the Company and create value for its Shareholders.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASE
In repurchasing H Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the laws of the PRC and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
APPENDIX III
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
The source of funds for the repurchase of Shares will be from the internal resources of the Company (which may include surplus funds (other than the net proceeds raised from the Global Offering) and retained profits) legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association, the laws of the PRC and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
4. IMPACT OF REPURCHASE
The Directors are of the view that, based on the financial position disclosed in the latest published audited accounts of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Board believes that the current financial resources of the Company would be sufficient to implement the share repurchase while maintaining a solid financial position. The number of H Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors in due course after taking into account the then prevailing circumstances and in the best interests of the Company. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
5. STATUS OF REPURCHASED H SHARES
Following the repurchase of H Shares, the Company may, subject to, among others, the market conditions at the relevant time of the repurchases and its capital management needs (which may change due to evolving circumstances), cancel any repurchased H Shares and/or hold them as treasury shares. Shareholders and potential investors should pay attention to any announcement to be published by the Company in the future, including but not limited to, any next day disclosure return and relevant monthly return.
Should the H Shares repurchased by the Company be cancelled, all relevant share certificates shall be cancelled and destroyed. The Company will ensure all ownership documents of the repurchased H Shares are cancelled and destroyed as soon as practicable following settlement of any such repurchase. Should the H Shares repurchased by the Company be held as treasury Shares, the listing status of all H Shares which are held as treasury shares shall be retained, and the Shareholder rights attached thereto shall be suspended. The Company will take measures to properly identify, segregate, and retain treasury Shares, and ensure that no Shareholder rights are exercised in respect of treasury Shares, including voting at general meetings or receiving final dividends.
- III-2 -
6. PRICES OF H SHARES
The highest and lowest trading prices of the H Shares traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange per month during the period from the Listing Date up to the Latest Practicable Date (both dates inclusive) were as follows:
| Month | Highest
HK$ | Lowest
HK$ |
| --- | --- | --- |
| December 2025 (from December 8, 2025 to December 31, 2025) | 178.50 | 82.00 |
| January 2026 | 171.60 | 146.20 |
| February 2026 | 154.80 | 139.70 |
| March 2026 | 153.60 | 124.60 |
| April 2026 | 149.60 | 122.70 |
| May 2026 (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 147.80 | 122.40 |
7. GENERAL INFORMATION
To the best of their knowledge 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 H Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors have undertaken to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that they will exercise the power of the Company to repurchase H Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in compliance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the PRC.
The Company has not been notified by any core connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any H Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries, or that they have undertaken not to sell any H Shares held by them to the Company or its subsidiaries, in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved at the AGM.
The Directors confirm that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
8. TAKEOVERS CODE AND PUBLIC FLOAT REQUIREMENTS
If, as a result of any repurchase of H Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase in proportionate interest will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning of 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.
As of the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Wang and Ms. Ge (the spouse of Mr. Wang) hold in aggregate 23,066,820 issued H Shares of the Company, representing approximately 34.60% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company, and therefore constitute a group of our Controlling Shareholders (as defined in the Listing Rules). If the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full, and assuming no further issue or repurchase of Shares prior to such full exercise, the combined controlling interest of voting rights of Mr. Wang and Ms. Ge will increase to approximately 38.14% of the total number of issued Shares, and such increase will result in an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
The Board has no present intention to exercise the general mandate to repurchase H Shares to such an extent that it would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as disclosed above, the Board is not aware that any repurchases to be made under the general mandate to repurchase H Shares will give rise to any consequences under the Takeovers Code and/or any similar applicable laws. The Directors also have no intention of exercising the Share Repurchase Mandate which would result in the total number of Shares held by the public Shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. If a repurchase of H Shares would result in the Company failing to comply with the public float requirements under the Listing Rules, the Directors will not exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate.
9. REPURCHASE OF SHARES MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company has not repurchased any Shares (whether on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or otherwise) from December 8, 2025 (being the date on which the H Shares were listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange) up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.
