INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to seek approval of the Shareholders in respect of, among other matters, (i) the granting to the Directors the Issue Mandate and the Buy-back Mandate; (ii) the re-election of the retiring Directors; (iii) the re-appointment of the Auditor; (iv) the Proposed Amendments to the Memorandum and the Articles of Association; and (v) to give you notice of the AGM at which resolutions will be proposed for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the aforesaid matters.
GENERAL MANDATES
At the annual general meeting of the Company held on June 20, 2025, an ordinary resolution was passed to grant the Directors a general unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate number of Shares of the Company in issue at the date of the passing of the relevant resolution.
The above general mandates will continue in force until whichever of the following first occurs: (i) the conclusion of the AGM; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the AGM is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable law of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting. It is therefore proposed to seek your approval by way of ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the AGM to approve the Issue Mandate and the Buy-back Mandate. The Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to issue any Shares (including to sell or transfer any treasury Shares) or buy back any Shares pursuant thereto, respectively. Please refer to resolutions numbered 4 to 6 set out in the notice of AGM on pages 29 to 33 of this circular for details of the proposed Issue Mandate and Buy-back Mandate.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of issued Shares was 109,721,538 Shares. Assuming no further Shares are to be issued or bought back and that the Company does not have any treasury Shares prior to the AGM, the Issue Mandate will grant the Directors an authority to issue up to 21,944,307 Shares.
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
An explanatory statement containing all relevant information relating to the proposed Buy-back Mandate is set out in the Appendix I to this circular. The explanatory statement is to provide you with information reasonably necessary to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to grant to the Directors the Buy-back Mandate at the AGM.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
In accordance with Article 16.2 of the Articles of Association, the Board shall have power from time to time and at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board. Any Director so appointed 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. Accordingly, Mr. Ouyang Yunlong, Dr. Yin Huijun, Dr. Zhang Peng and Ms. Lo Yee Hang will retire at the AGM and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election as Directors at the Annual General Meeting.
In accordance with Article 16.19 of the Articles of Association of the Company, at every annual general meeting one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not 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 (including those appointed for a specific term) shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall retain office until the close of the meeting at which he retires and shall be eligible for re-election thereat. Accordingly, Mr. Wong Yu Shan Eugene will retire as Director at the AGM, and he, being eligible, will offer himself for re-election as Director at the AGM.
Being the independent non-executive Directors eligible for re-election at the AGM, each of Mr. Wong Yu Shan Eugene, Dr. Zhang Peng and Ms. Lo Yee Hang has confirmed that (i) he/she meets the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules; (ii) he/she has no past or present financial or other interest in the business of the Company or its subsidiaries or any connection with any core connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company; and (iii) there are no other factors that may affect his/her independence at the time of his/her appointment. The Company considers that each of them meets the independence guidelines set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and is independent in accordance with the terms of the guidelines.
The Nomination Committee has also reviewed and considered each retiring Director's respective experience, skills and knowledge, and recommended to the Board that the re-election of all retiring Directors be proposed for Shareholders' approval at the AGM.
Details of the abovenamed Directors who are subject to the re-election at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules. The biography of the retiring Directors set out in Appendix II to this circular indicates the perspectives, skills and experience each individual can bring to the Board and contribute to the diversity of the Board.
RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR
The Board proposes to re-appoint ZHONGHUI ANDA CPA Limited as the independent Auditor of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2026 and to hold the office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company. A resolution will also be proposed to authorize the Board to fix the Auditor's remuneration for the ensuing year, which
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
is expected to be approximately HK$1.7 million. Such remuneration was determined after taking into account the scale and complexity of the Group's business, the expected scope and timing of the audit, the Auditors' qualifications and experience, the audit resources and effort required, and the prevailing market level of fees for similar services, and was agreed on a fair and reasonable basis. Furthermore, the estimated audit fee assumes that there will be no additional material changes in the Group's businesses and operations, accounting policies or regulatory environment, and that the Company will provide timely and adequate assistance and information as required for the audit. ZHONGHUI ANDA CPA Limited have indicated their willingness to be re-appointed as auditor of the Company for the said period.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
The Board resolved to propose to: (i) amend the Memorandum and Articles of Association for the purpose of, among others, bringing the Memorandum and Articles of Association in line with the relevant amendments made to the Listing Rules in respect of hybrid general meetings and electronic voting, as well as other housekeeping changes; and (ii) adopt the sixth amended and restated memorandum of association and articles of association of the Company incorporating and consolidating the Proposed Amendments. The Company has received a written confirmation from its Hong Kong legal advisers, confirming that the Proposed Amendments conform with the Listing Rules (including the requirements of Appendix A1 to the Listing Rules).
The Company has also received a written confirmation from its Cayman Islands legal advisers, confirming that the Proposed Amendments are not inconsistent with the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company confirms that there is nothing unusual about the Proposed Amendments from the perspective of a Cayman Islands company listed on the Stock Exchange.
A special resolution will be proposed at the AGM to approve the Proposed Amendments and the adoption of the sixth amended and restated memorandum of association and articles of association of the Company, details of which are set out in Appendix III to this circular.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the Listing Rules, to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the Buy-back Mandate.
1. LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE BUY-BACK OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listings are on the Stock Exchange to purchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions, the most important of which are summarized below:
(i) the shares to be purchased by a company must be fully paid-up;
(ii) the company has previously sent to its shareholders an explanatory statement complying with the Listing Rules; and
(iii) all on-market purchase of shares by a company with its primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution, either by way of a specific approval in relation to specific transactions or by a general mandate to the directors of the company to make such purchase.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 109,721,538 Shares which have been fully paid, and the Company did not have any treasury Shares. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution for purchase of Shares and on the basis that no further new Shares are issued or purchased and the Company does not have any treasury Shares up to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the Buy-back Mandate to purchase a maximum of 10,972,153 Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate number of the total issued Shares (excluding treasury Shares) as at the date of the passing of the ordinary resolution for purchase of Shares during the period ending on the earlier 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 any applicable laws or the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the authority given under the resolution by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting.
3. REASONS FOR BUY-BACK
The Directors believe that the Buy-back Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such purchase may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets of the Company and/or its earnings per Share. On the other hand, Shares bought back and held by the Company as treasury Shares may be resold on the market at market prices to raise funds for the Company, or transferred or used for other purposes, subject to compliance with the Listing Rules, the
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE
Articles of Association, and the laws of the Cayman Islands. The Directors would only exercise the power to purchase Shares in circumstances where they consider that the purchase would be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
4. FUNDING OF PURCHASE OF SHARES
Any purchase of the Shares would be funded entirely from the cash flow or working capital facilities available to the Company, and will, in any event, be made out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Articles, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules. Such funds include, but are not limited to, profits available for distribution. Purchases may only be effected out of the profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorized by its Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, out of capital. Any premium payable on a purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account, or, if so authorized by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, out of capital.
5. GENERAL
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company, as compared with the positions disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at December 31, 2025, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate were to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed purchase period.
However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the 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 position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
The Company has confirmed that neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed share repurchase has any unusual features.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE

7. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors will exercise the Buy-back Mandate pursuant to the proposed resolution in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws of Cayman Islands.
8. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND THE COMPANY'S CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
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 Listing Rules) has any present intention, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell 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 any present intention to sell Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Buy-back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE
9. TAKEOVERS CODE
If on exercise of the powers of purchase pursuant to the Buy-back 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 (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Dr. Poon Hung Fai (“Dr. Poon”) held 17,665,696 Shares, representing approximately 16.10% of the issued share capital of the Company, within the meaning of Part XV of the SFO. In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the Buy-back Mandate, the interests in the Company of Dr. Poon will be increased to approximately 17.89% of the issued Shares.
To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, such increase would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no present intention to purchase the Shares to the extent that will trigger the obligations under the Takeovers Code for Dr. Poon to make a mandatory offer. The Directors are not aware of any other consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any purchase by the Company of its Shares.
The Listing Rules prohibit a company from making purchase on the Stock Exchange if the result of the purchase would be that less than 25% (or such other prescribed minimum percentage as determined by the Stock Exchange) of the total number of issued shares of the Company (excluding treasury Shares) would be in public hands. The Directors do not propose to purchase Shares which would result in less than the prescribed minimum percentage of Shares in public hands.
10. SHARE BUY-BACK MADE BY THE COMPANY
The Company has not purchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) during the six months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
11. INTENTION STATEMENT REGARDING SHARE BUY-BACK
Under the existing Listing Rules, the Company is required to cancel any Shares purchased by the Company as soon as reasonably practicable following such purchase. The Board notes that with effect from June 11, 2024, the Listing Rules has amended to remove the requirement to cancel purchased shares and to adopt a framework to govern the resale and/or transfer of treasury shares. In view of the changes to the Listing Rules, if the Company purchases any Shares pursuant to the Buy-back Mandate, the Company will either (i) cancel the Shares purchased and/or (ii) hold such Shares in treasury, subject to market conditions and the Company’s capital management needs at the relevant time any purchases of Shares are
- 13 -
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON BUY-BACK MANDATE
made. If the Company holds any Shares in treasury, any sale or transfer of treasury Shares will be made pursuant to the terms of the Issue Mandate and in accordance with the Listing Rules and applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.
The Company may re-deposit its treasury Shares into CCASS only if it has an imminent plan to resell them on the Stock Exchange, and it should complete the resale as soon as possible. For any treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company will have appropriate measures to ensure that it would not exercise any Shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the relevant laws with respect to treasury Shares. These measures include, for example, an approval by the Board that (i) the Company should procure its broker not to give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings for the treasury Shares deposited with CCASS pending resale; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company should withdraw the treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in the Company's name as treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions.
Holders of treasury Shares (if any) shall abstain from voting on matters that require Shareholders' approval at the Company's general meetings.
