CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM of the Stock Exchange (“GEM”) has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES AND TO REPURCHASE SHARES
At the AGM, separate ordinary resolutions will be proposed to seek the approval of the Shareholders to grant the Directors the general mandates to issue Shares and to repurchase Shares.
2.1 General Mandate to Issue Shares
At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate (i.e. the Issuance Mandate) to allot, issue and deal with unissued Shares or underlying Shares of the Company (including any sale or transfer of treasury shares out of treasury) (other than by way of rights issue or pursuant to a share option scheme of the Company or pursuant to any scrip dividend or similar arrangements providing for the allotment and issue of Shares in lieu of whole or part of the dividends on Shares in accordance with the Articles of Association) or make or grant offers, agreements, share options and warrants which might require the exercise of such power, of up to 20% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of granting of the Issuance Mandate.
In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will further be proposed for extending the Issuance Mandate authorizing the Directors to allot, issue and deal with Shares to the extent of the Shares repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. Details on the Repurchase Mandate are further elaborated below.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has an aggregate of 633,693,055 Shares in issue. Subject to the passing of the resolutions for the approval of the Issuance Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed to allot, issue and deal with a maximum number of 126,738,611 Shares under the Issuance Mandate.
2.2 General Mandate to Repurchase Shares
At the AGM, an ordinary resolution will also be proposed such that the Directors be given an unconditional general mandate to repurchase Shares (i.e. the Repurchase Mandate) on the Stock Exchange of up to 10% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the date of granting of the Repurchase Mandate.
Subject to the passing of the resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the AGM, the Company would be allowed to repurchase a maximum number of 63,369,305 Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.
An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the requisite information required under the GEM Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Issuance Mandate (including the extended Issuance Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate shall continue to be in force during the period from the date of passing of the resolutions for the approval of the Issuance Mandate (including the extended Issuance Mandate) and the Repurchase Mandate up to (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 by the Articles of Association, the Companies Act, Cap. 22 (Act 3 of 1961, as consolidated and revised) of the Cayman Islands or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Issuance Mandate (including the extended Issuance Mandate) or the Repurchase Mandate (as the case may be) by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.
3. RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS AND ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
In accordance with Article 116 of the Articles of Association, at each annual general meeting, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then 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 by rotation at least once every three years. Dr. CHENG Yanjie and Mr. HEUNG Pik Lun will retire from office by rotation at the AGM. Dr. CHENG will not offer himself for re-election. Mr. HEUNG Pik Lun, being eligible, has offered himself for re-election at the AGM.
In accordance with Article 99 of the Articles of Association, any director appointed by the Board to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the existing Board shall hold office only until the first annual general meeting of the Company after his appointment and shall then be eligible for re-election at that meeting. Mr. CHIU Sin Nang Kenny was appointed as an executive Director on 2 June 2025. Mr. CHIU will retire from office and, being eligible, offer himself for re-election at the AGM.
At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will also be proposed to elect Mr. DIU Peter and Mr. YU Ping Ming (the "Proposed Directors") as independent non-executive Directors.
Information of these retiring Directors and the Proposed Directors required to be disclosed by the GEM Listing Rules is set out in Appendix II of this circular.
The Nomination Committee, having taken into account the factors in the Company's nomination policy and the board diversity policy, with due regard to the diversity perspective on the background, experience and knowledge of Mr. CHIU Sin Nang Kenny, Mr. HEUNG Pik Lun, Mr. DIU Peter and Mr. YU Ping Ming, considers that they could contribute to the Board from their respective knowledge and experience as set out in Appendix II to this circular, and was satisfied that the re-election of Mr. CHIU Sin Nang Kenny as executive Director and Mr. HEUNG Pik Lun as an independent non-executive Director and the election of Mr. DIU Peter and Mr. YU Ping Ming as independent non-executive Directors would be in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In addition, the Nomination Committee has assessed the independence of Mr. HEUNG, Mr. DIU and Mr. YU and reviewed the written confirmation of independence pursuant to Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules provided by each of them and the Nomination Committee considers that they are independent. The Nomination Committee is also satisfied that Mr. HEUNG, Mr. DIU and Mr. YU had the required character, integrity and experience to fulfil their respective role as independent non-executive Directors effectively and believed that the re-election/election of Mr. HEUNG, Mr. DIU and Mr. YU as independent non-executive Directors would be in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for consideration as to whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the AGM for granting the Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued Share capital of the Company comprised 633,693,055 Shares and 1,480,151,050 non-voting convertible preference shares. There was no treasury share.
Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and, on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the AGM, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to a maximum of 63,369,305 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution.
The Company may cancel such repurchased Shares or hold them as treasury shares, subject to market conditions and the Group's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases.
For any treasury shares 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 the Company not (or procure its broker not to) giving any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings for the treasury shares deposited with CCASS.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE OF SHARES
The Directors believe that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on GEM. Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and the funding arrangements at the material time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets of the Company and/or its earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such purchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles of Association and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
4. EFFECT OF EXERCISING THE REPURCHASE MANDATE
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 financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2025) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Directors, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time having regard to the circumstances then pertaining in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules.
5. DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their close associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company under the Repurchase Mandate if such is approved by the Shareholders.
6. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Articles of Association, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
7. TAKEOVERS CODE
If, as a result of a repurchase of Shares pursuant to the Repurchase 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. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meanings under the Takeovers Code), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
- 9 -
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following Shareholders were interested in 5% or more of the issued Shares. In the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and there is no change in the number of Shares held by them after the Repurchase Mandate is exercised, the interest of such Shareholders will be increased to approximately the percentage set out as follows:
| Name of Substantial Shareholders | Capacity | Number of Shares held | Approximate percentage of the shareholding as at the Latest Practicable Date | Approximate percentage of the shareholding if the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Integrated Asset Management (Asia) Limited (“Integrated Asset”) & its concert parties (Note 1) | Beneficial Owner | 321,694,520 (L) | 50.77% | 56.41% |
| Quantum Worldwide Investment Limited (“Quantum”) & its concert parties (Note 2) | Beneficial Owner | 150,000,000 (L) | 23.67% | 26.30% |
L denotes long position
Notes:
- Integrated Asset was wholly owned by Mr. YAM Tak Cheung.
- Quantum was wholly owned by Mr. YAM Tak Cheung.
Save as aforesaid and based on the information known to Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any consequences of such repurchases of Shares that would result in the above substantial Shareholders or any other Shareholder, or group of Shareholders acting in concert, becoming obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code if the Repurchase Mandate was exercised in full. Nevertheless, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances trigger any potential consequences under the Takeovers Code.
Furthermore, the Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that will result in an obligation of any of the above Shareholders or any other persons to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code or the number of Shares in the hands of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%.
- SHARE REPURCHASED BY THE COMPANY
During the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, there was no repurchase of Shares by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
APPENDIX I EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON REPURCHASE MANDATE
9. CONNECTED PERSON
No core connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
10. CONFIRMATION OF NO UNUSUAL FEATURES
The Board confirms that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
11. SHARE PRICES
