To Shareholders

Dear Sirs or Madams,

PROPOSED DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

(I) ACQUISITION OF THE ENTIRE ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL IN

ARC OF TRIUMPH DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED; AND

(II) LOAN AGREEMENT

(A) INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 9 June 2025 and the Announcement in relation to, among other things, the Acquisition and the Loan Agreement. On 20 November 2025 (after trading hours), (i) the Purchasers, each of them being a subsidiary of the Company; (ii) Ms. Leong (as the Guarantor); and (iii) the Vendors, each of them being indirectly wholly-owned by Ms. Leong, entered into the Acquisition Agreement pursuant to which the Vendors have agreed to sell, and the Purchasers have agreed to acquire, the entire issued share capital of the Target Company.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement (on an aggregated basis) are more than 5% but less than 25%, the entering into of the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company which is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Ms. Leong is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules by virtue of her being a Director. As at the Latest Practicable Date, each of the Vendors is indirectly wholly-owned by Ms. Leong. Accordingly, the Vendors are connected persons of the Company under the Listing Rules by virtue of them being associates of Ms. Leong, and the Acquisition and the Loan (on an aggregated basis) would thus constitute a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement are subject to reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The Directors confirmed that, save for Ms. Leong, none of them have a material interest in the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Ms. Leong was physically absent from the relevant Board meeting of the Company while the relevant resolutions approving the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, were being discussed and voted on by the other Directors, and Ms. Leong also abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions.

The Independent Board Committee comprising all independent non-executive Directors has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. The Independent Financial Adviser has been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in the same regard.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further information about the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement; (ii) the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders; (iii) the advice from the Independent Financial Adviser on the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement; (iv) a property valuation report of L'Arc Hotel; and (v) other information as required under the Listing Rules, together with the notice of the EGM.

Date: 20 November 2025 (after trading hours)

Parties:

(ii) Solar King Investments Limited (as a Vendor);

(collectively, the “Parties”)

Each of the Vendors is indirectly wholly-owned by Ms. Leong, being a Director.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement, the Vendors have agreed to sell, and the Purchasers have agreed to acquire, the entire issued share capital of the Target Company.

Pre-sale Reorganisation and Set-off of Intercompany Balances

Pursuant to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions thereunder, the Target Group will complete the Pre-sale Reorganisation prior to Completion, such that immediately prior to Completion, the Target Group will only comprise the Target Company and its subsidiaries, Arc of Triumph Hotel Management and LRA Property Management.

Chart 2: Simplified Target Group structure after Pre-sale Reorganisation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Pre-sale Reorganisation has not been completed.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As disclosed in the sub-section headed “Conditions precedent” below, under condition (xiii), it was further agreed between the Parties that a Set-off of Intercompany Balances will be completed prior to Completion, such that all loans and current accounts between the Target Group companies and any Vendors’ group company or the Guarantor (or any affiliate of any of them) will be repaid and satisfied or otherwise set-off in full, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any tax exposure arising from the settlement of these loans and current accounts, and all related security being fully and unconditionally discharged, on or before Completion. Based on the latest unaudited consolidated accounts of the Target Group for the eight months ended 31 August 2025, the Set-off of Intercompany Balances involved outstanding amounts due to the Target Group of approximately MOP3,783,311,676 (or approximately HK$3,673,118,132) and outstanding amounts payable by the Target Group of approximately MOP3,283,903,026 (or approximately HK$3,188,255,365).

Upon completion of the Pre-sale Reorganisation and the Set-off of Intercompany Balances:

(i) the principal assets of the Target Group will comprise the L’Arc Hotel. Based on the property valuation of the L’Arc Hotel issued by CBRE Advisory Hong Kong Limited (an independent professional valuer) for the purposes of the Acquisition, the market value of the L’Arc Hotel was approximately HK$1,750,000,000 as at 30 September 2025; and

(ii) the principal liabilities of the Target Group will comprise mainly the ICBC Loan, the outstanding amount of which as at the date of the Acquisition Agreement was HK$1,927,525,000.

Consideration

The Parties have determined the purchase price for the Target Company on a debt-free basis.

Taking into account the net liabilities position of the Target Group and the loss-making performance of the Target Group for the latest financial year, after arm's length negotiations between the Parties, the Parties have agreed that: (i) the purchase price of all the issued shares of the Target Company under the Acquisition Agreement shall be their nominal value, being MOP180,000 (or approximately HK$174,757) (“Share Purchase Price”); and (ii) the Purchasers shall upon Completion procure the repayment of the ICBC Loan up to an amount of HK$1,749,825,243 which is equal to HK$1,750,000,000 (being the valuation of the L’Arc Hotel property) less the Share Purchase Price. Hence the total amount payable by the Purchasers at Completion shall be HK$1,750,000,000 which is equal to the Valuation of the L’Arc Hotel as at 30 September 2025, and will be funded by the Acquisition Facility (as defined below) of the Group.

  • 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Parties have further agreed that Ms. Leong and the Vendors shall procure the repayment, simultaneously with Completion, of (i) the balance of the ICBC Loan, being the sum of HK$177,525,000 and HK$174,757 (in aggregate, the "Loan Balance"), which will be financed by the Loan and the Share Purchase Price, respectively; and (ii) all interest accrued to the date of Completion and related repayment expenses in relation to the ICBC Loan. As part of the negotiation of the terms of the Acquisition, SJM Resorts has agreed to advance the Loan of HK$177,525,000 (being the Loan Balance less the Share Purchase Price, hereafter referred to as "Loan Shortfall") to Ms. Leong to finance her portion of the repayment of the ICBC Loan, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. For further information on the Loan, please refer to the section headed "(C) THE LOAN" in this Letter from the Board.

The repayment of the Purchaser's portion of the ICBC Loan and the advancement of the Loan, are expected to be funded by the Group's credit facilities. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group had available Acquisition Facility amount of approximately HK$3,325 million, which is sufficient to satisfy its portion of the ICBC Loan and the advancement of the Loan.

Based on the information provided by the Vendors, the last acquisition cost of the Target Group in 2020 was based on a valuation of approximately HK$3.5 billion.

Closing Accounts and Closing Accounts payments

Following the determination of the Cash, Indebtedness and Working Capital which shall be derived from the Closing Accounts:

(i) the Vendors shall be entitled to receive by way of a Closing Accounts payment of HK$1 for each HK$1 by which Cash and Working Capital net of Indebtedness exceeds HK$0, up to a maximum aggregate amount of HK$16 million; and

(ii) the Purchasers shall be entitled to receive by way of a Closing Accounts payment of HK$1 for each HK$1 by which Cash and Working Capital net of Indebtedness is less than HK$0.

Such Closing Accounts payments shall become payable on the Business Day which is or immediately follows the date which is 14 days after the final agreement or determination of Working Capital, Cash and Indebtedness and shall be paid to the Vendors in cash, or such other settlement method agreed by the Parties in writing (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any set-offs or extensions of proportionate amounts due pursuant to the Loan Agreement).

The maximum aggregate amount of HK$16 million payable to the Vendors is an estimate determined with reference to the unaudited consolidated total asset of the Target Group as at 31 August 2025, excluding the book value of the L'Arc Hotel and assuming completion of the Pre-sale Reorganisation and the Set-off of Intercompany Balances.

Repayment period : The Borrower shall repay the Loan on the date of the third anniversary of Completion date.

Prepayment : Any time prior to the Maturity Date and with at least seven Business Days’ prior written notice.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

L'Arc Hotel

L'Arc Hotel is situated at Nos. 238 – 320 Avenida 24 de Junho, NAPE, Macau, with gross floor area of approximately 86,438 square meters and it comprises the hotel and commercial portion from G/F to 22/F and carpark facilities from B1/F to B3/F. Casino L'Arc Macau, located on the ground and first floors of the L'Arc Hotel, is currently operated by SJM Resorts under the L'Arc Services Agreement.

The Valuation of the L'Arc Hotel was conducted by the Valuer, CBRE Advisory Hong Kong Limited, an independent professional valuer, in accordance with the latest edition of the RICS Valuation – Global Standards issued by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the International Valuation Standards issued by the International Valuation Standards Council. The total market value of the L'Arc Hotel according to the Valuation was HK$1,750,000,000, based on a valuation benchmark date of 30 September 2025. The valuation report issued by the Valuer is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

According to the Valuer, the income approach was adopted given it indicates value by converting future cash flows to a single current capital value. Alternative methods such as market approach was not adopted due to limited sales transactions for properties with similar magnitude and characteristics in Macau.

The principal assumptions made by the Valuer for the Valuation include, among other things: (i) L'Arc Hotel is freely disposable and transferable for the whole of the unexpired term without legal impediment; (ii) government lease could be automatically renewed without any land premium payment; (iii) L'Arc Hotel is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature; and (iv) L'Arc Hotel to be sold in the open market without the benefit and burden of any deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement.

The Board has reviewed the Valuation prepared by the Valuer and is of the view that the methodology, and assumptions used in the Valuation are fair, reasonable and appropriate given the Valuation methodology and assumptions used are common for the purpose of valuing properties similar to that of L'Arc Hotel. Furthermore, the Board has also reviewed the inputs adopted by the Valuer that are predominately chosen with reference to market comparables and is of the view that the market comparables referred to are fair and reasonable.

(G) POSSIBLE FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE ACQUISITION AND THE LOAN

Upon Completion, each company of the Target Group shall become a subsidiary of the Company, and the Target Group's results will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group. As the purchase price for the shares of the Target Company will be settled in full in cash funded by the Acquisition Facility (as defined below) of the Group upon Completion, the Group expects that there will be no material change on the net assets of the Group immediately upon Completion.

  • 25 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It is expected that L'Arc Hotel will contribute rental income to the Group following Completion. The Company further expects that there will be no material gain or loss arising from the Acquisition for the Group immediately upon Completion.

Shareholders should note that the actual amount of gain/loss on the Acquisition to be recorded by the Group (if any) will be subject to review by the auditors of the Group. The aforesaid estimation is for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent the financial position of the Group after Completion. The actual financial effect of the Acquisition will be determined with reference to the financial status of the Target Group as at the date of Completion.

(H) REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION AND THE LOAN

The Acquisition

The Acquisition aligns with SJM Resorts' strategic objective to consolidate and focus resources on locations that offer long-term value and synergies. The L'Arc Hotel is located within the Macau Peninsula, closely connected to the heart of the city and conveniently accessible by 5-minute drive from the Macau Ferry Terminal. Through the Acquisition, the Group will benefit from the synergies of operating the entire L'Arc Hotel with hotel accommodation, as well as food and beverage operations. The Acquisition is also expected to offer synergy with the existing operations of the Group given the proximity of the L'Arc Hotel to the Group's existing casinos such as Casino Lisboa, which will further strengthen the Group's foundation for sustainable growth and reinforce SJM Resorts' market positioning in the Macau Peninsula. The L'Arc Hotel's central location and established operations make it an attractive asset, which is expected to enhance operational efficiency. Accordingly, the Board considers that the Acquisition will be of strategic importance to the long-term development of the Group.

In addition to the non-gaming synergistic benefits which L'Arc Hotel is expected to bring to the Group's existing casinos, SJM Resorts also intends to apply for the DICJ Approval immediately following Completion. As at the Latest Practicable Date, SJM Resorts operates a satellite casino at Casino L'Arc Macau under the profit-sharing model. As set out under the announcement of the Company dated 9 June 2025, under the Macau gaming law revised in 2022, SJM Resorts is allowed to operate satellite casinos under the profit-sharing model for a transition period of three years, ending on 31 December 2025 ("Transition Period"). Upon termination of the Transition Period, such satellite casinos must be directly owned by SJM Resorts or transition to a management agreement structure with no profit-sharing arrangement in order to continue to operate beyond 2025. If SJM Resorts is granted the DICJ Approval, SJM Resorts will be able to operate casino games of fortune at Casino L'Arc Macau beyond the Transition Period. Taking into account factors such as alignment with SJM Resorts' long-term objectives and competitiveness, the strategic location and well-established brand of Casino L'Arc Macau, the Group believes that continuing operations at Casino L'Arc Macau will be beneficial to the Group and in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  • 26 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As mentioned above, Casino L'Arc Macau is currently operated by SJM Resorts under the L'Arc Services Agreement and a Termination Agreement has been entered into. As per the Acquisition Agreement, the Parties have also agreed that, during the interim period following Completion and until the DICJ Approval has been obtained, L'Arc Entertainment shall not invoice or otherwise charge any Service Fees and SJM Resorts shall be entitled to withhold payment of all amounts that would otherwise become due in respect of such Service Fees, without such withholding constituting a breach of any obligation under the existing L'Arc Services Agreement. This would allow SJM Resorts to entitle to greater revenue from the operations at Casino L'Arc Macau from such date. In any event, based on the aforementioned Termination Agreement, the L'Arc Services Agreement will be terminated on the earlier of (i) date of receiving DICJ Approval; or (ii) 31 December 2025.

In accordance with the relevant Macau law, SJM Resorts will submit an application for the DICJ Approval immediately upon Completion and registration of the transfer of the shares in the Target Company. If SJM Resorts is granted the DICJ Approval prior to the end of the Transition Period, the Group expects operations at Casino L'Arc Macau to continue on an uninterrupted basis. If SJM Resorts is not granted the DICJ Approval prior to the end of the Transition Period, the Group intends to redeploy all the gaming tables currently placed at Casino L'Arc Macau to other casinos of SJM Resorts until the DICJ Approval is obtained. As such, the Group does not expect the application for the DICJ Approval to have a material adverse effect on the gaming operations of the Group as a whole. As of the Latest Practicable Date, SJM Resorts has received a written confirmation from the Macau Government of its intention to grant such approval prior to 31 December 2025, subject to the timely receipt of an application from SJM Resorts which complies with all applicable legal and procedural requirements.

The Acquisition also reflects the Group's commitment to its employees and the local community, as it will continue to provide stability and employment opportunities for Macau residents currently employed by the Target Group. If the DICJ Approval is granted, the continued operation of Casino L'Arc Macau is anticipated to be beneficial not only to the Group, but also to the Shareholders, by preserving a meaningful revenue stream and ensuring compliance with local regulatory requirements, minimising operational disruption, and supporting the sustainable growth of the Company's Macau portfolio.

Although the Group notes the financial position of the Target Group as at the date of Acquisition Agreement, however, as stated in the sub-section headed "Consideration" above, the purchase price for the Target Company was determined on a debt-free basis and in view of the reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition as discussed above, the Acquisition is nevertheless still regarded as being in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

In light of the above, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors whose views are set out in the letter from the Independent Board Committee in this circular, and excluding Ms. Leong) is of the view the terms of the Acquisition Agreement are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable and that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  • 27 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Loan and Share Charge

As discussed in the sub-section headed "Consideration" above, upon completion of the Pre-sale Reorganisation and the Set-off of Intercompany Balances, the principal liabilities of the Target Group companies would comprise the ICBC Loan, which, as at the date of the Acquisition Agreement, has an outstanding balance of approximately HK$1,927,525,000. As part of the commercial negotiations between the Parties, and as the Parties have determined the purchase price for the Target Company on a debt-free basis, the Parties have agreed that the Purchasers shall upon Completion procure the repayment of the ICBC Loan only up to an amount of HK$1,749,825,243, which is equal to HK$1,750,000,000 (being the valuation of the L'Arc Hotel property) less the Share Purchase Price; hence the total amount payable by Purchasers at Completion shall be HK$1,750,000,000. As such, the Loan is provided to Ms. Leong under the Loan Agreement solely for the purpose of repayment of the Loan Shortfall and to facilitate the Acquisition. Given the reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition to the Group as discussed above, the Company considers it to be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders to make the Loan to Ms. Leong so as to facilitate the Completion in an effective and efficient manner with minimised uncertainties.

The Loan will be funded by utilisation of credit facility of SJM Resorts (the "Acquisition Facility"). The interest rate of the Loan, which is determined after arm's length negotiation with reference to the finance costs of SJM Resorts, is agreed to be equivalent to the interest rate payable by SJM Resorts from the utilised Acquisition Facility charged by independent third party financial institution, which would safeguard SJM Resorts' interests by ensuring that the interest rates would commensurate with its cost of funding.

In addition, Ms. Leong is required to provide the Share Charge as a security based on a LTV Ratio of 50%. As a result, the value of the Share Charge would be greater than the principal amount of the Loan. Despite that the interest payment under the Loan will be accrued and be repaid only upon maturity, given the fact that (i) the interest rate charged under the Loan mirrors the same interest rate under the Acquisition Facility of the Group; and (ii) SJM Resorts will be provided with security by way of Share Charge not only on the principal amount but also on the accrued interest of the Loan as illustrated above, the Board considers the interest payment under the Loan is fair and reasonable.

Taking into account the above, and considering the Group is entitled to sell the pledged Shares and apply the proceeds onto the repayment of any outstanding amounts in the case of default by Ms. Leong, the Directors are of the view that the risk exposure of the Loan is adequately mitigated by the above measures.

  • 28 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Taking into account the above, and after further considering that (i) the expected financial effect of the Acquisition and the Loan to the Group would be immaterial; and (ii) the Loan Agreement is entered into on normal commercial terms after arm's length negotiations and taking into account, among other things, the back-to-back interest rate under the Loan Agreement and the Share Charge, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors whose views are set out in the letter from the Independent Board Committee in this circular and excluding Ms. Leong) is of the view that the terms of the Loan Agreement are fair and reasonable, and the Loan and transactions contemplated under the Loan Agreement, although are not in the ordinary and usual course of business, are to be entered into on normal commercial terms, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(I) LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement (on an aggregated basis) are more than 5% but less than 25%, the entering into of the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company which is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Ms. Leong is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules by virtue of her being a Director. As at the Latest Practicable Date, each of the Vendors is indirectly wholly-owned by Ms. Leong. Accordingly, the Vendors are connected persons of the Company under the Listing Rules by virtue of them being associates of Ms. Leong, and the Acquisition and the Loan (on an aggregated basis) would thus constitute a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement are subject to reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The Directors confirmed that, save for Ms. Leong, none of them have a material interest in the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Ms. Leong was physically absent from the relevant Board meeting of the Company while the relevant resolutions approving the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereunder, were being discussed and voted on by the other Directors, and Ms. Leong also abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions.

The Independent Board Committee comprising all independent non-executive Directors has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. The Independent Financial Adviser has been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in the same regard.

28 November 2025

To: The Independent Shareholders and the Independent Board Committee

Dear Sirs or Madams,

PROPOSED DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

(I) ACQUISITION OF THE ENTIRE ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL IN ARC OF TRIUMPH DEVELOPMENT COMPANY LIMITED; AND (II) LOAN AGREEMENT

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Details of the aforesaid transactions are set out in the "Letter from the Board" (the "Letter from the Board") contained in the circular of the Company dated 28 November 2025 (the "Circular"), of which this letter forms part. Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular.

The Board announced that on 20 November 2025 (after trading hours), (i) the Purchasers, each of them being a subsidiary of the Company; (ii) Ms. Leong (as the Guarantor); and (iii) the Vendors, each of them being indirectly wholly-owned by Ms. Leong, entered into the Acquisition Agreement, pursuant to which the Vendors have agreed to sell, and the Purchasers have agreed to acquire, the entire issued share capital of the Target Company. Pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement, and subject to authorisation by the Secretary of Economy and Finance of Macau, prior to Completion, the Loan Agreement will be entered into pursuant to which SJM Resorts intends to advance the Loan in the principal amount of HK$177,525,000 to Ms. Leong with a term of three years to finance her portion of the repayment of the ICBC Loan.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement (on an aggregated basis) are more than 5% but less than 25%, the entering into of the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement constitute a discloseable transaction of the Company which is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

  • 34 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Ms. Leong is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules by virtue of her being a Director. As at the Latest Practicable Date, each of the Vendors is indirectly wholly-owned by Ms. Leong. Accordingly, the Vendors are connected persons of the Company under the Listing Rules by virtue of them being associates of Ms. Leong and the Acquisition and the Loan (on an aggregated basis) would thus constitute a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement are subject to reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Each of STDM and its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Konrad Investments Limited has given an undertaking to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM in relation to the proposed transactions set out in the Circular. Based on the information available to the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, the aforesaid Shareholders hold or otherwise control an aggregate of over 50% of the voting rights of the Company.

INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole and to advise the Independent Shareholders on how to vote at the EGM in respect of the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. We, Amasse Capital Limited, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

OUR INDEPENDENCE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we did not have any relationships or interests with the Company, Ms. Leong, the Vendors or any other parties in connection with the Acquisition Agreement and the Loan Agreement that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. In the last two years, we have not acted as an independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders for any transaction.

With regard to our independence from the Company, it is noted that, apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with the current appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangements exist whereby we had received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Company or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence, we consider that we are independent pursuant to Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

4. Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition and the Loan

The Acquisition

The Acquisition aligns with SJM Resorts’ strategic objective to consolidate and focus resources on locations that offer long-term value and synergies. The L’Arc Hotel is located within the Macau Peninsula, closely connected to the heart of the city and conveniently accessible by 5-minute drive from the Macau Ferry Terminal. Through the Acquisition, the Group will benefit from the synergies of operating the entire L’Arc Hotel with hotel accommodation, as well as food and beverage operations. The Acquisition is also expected to offer synergy with the existing operations of the Group given the proximity of the L’Arc Hotel to the Group’s existing casinos such as Casino Lisboa, which will further strengthen the Group’s foundation for sustainable growth and reinforce SJM Resort’s market positioning in the Macau Peninsula. The L’Arc Hotel’s central location and established operations make it an attractive asset, which is expected to enhance operational efficiency. Accordingly, the Board considers that the Acquisition will be of strategic importance to the long-term development of the Group.

In addition to the non-gaming synergistic benefits which the L’Arc Hotel is expected to bring to the Group’s existing casinos, SJM Resorts also intends to apply to the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau of Macau (Direcção de Inspecção e Coordenação de Jogos) (the “DICJ”) for the requisite approval to operate casino games of fortune at Casino L’Arc Macau as a self-owned, self-managed and self-operated casino (the “DICJ Approval”) immediately following Completion. As at the Latest Practicable Date, SJM Resorts operates a satellite casino at Casino L’Arc Macau under the profit-sharing model. As set out under the announcement of the Company dated 9 June 2025, under the Macau gaming law revised in 2022, SJM Resorts is allowed to operate satellite casinos under the profit-sharing model for a transition period of three years, ending on 31 December 2025 (“Transition Period”). Upon termination of the Transition Period, such satellite casinos must be directly owned by SJM Resorts or transition to a management agreement structure with no profit-sharing arrangement in order to continue to operate beyond 2025. If SJM Resorts is granted the DICJ Approval, SJM Resorts will be able to operate casino games of fortune at Casino L’Arc Macau beyond the Transition Period. Taking into account factors such as alignment with SJM Resorts’ long-term objectives and competitiveness, the strategic location and well-established brand of Casino L’Arc Macau, the Group believes that continuing operations at Casino L’Arc Macau will be beneficial to the Group and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

As mentioned above, Casino L’Arc Macau is currently operated by SJM Resorts under the L’Arc Services Agreement and a Termination Agreement (as defined below) has been entered into. As per the Acquisition Agreement, the Parties have also agreed that, during the interim period following Completion and until the DICJ Approval has been obtained, L’Arc Entertainment shall not invoice or otherwise charge any Service Fees (as defined below) and SJM Resorts shall be entitled to withhold payment of all amounts that would otherwise become due in respect of such Service Fees (as defined below), without such withholding constituting a breach of any obligation under the existing L’Arc Services Agreement. This would allow SJM Resorts to entitle to greater revenue from the operations at Casino L’Arc Macau from such date. In any event, based on the Termination Agreement (as defined below), the L’Arc Services Agreement will be terminated on the earlier of (i) date of receiving DICJ Approval; or (ii) 31 December 2025.

  • 43 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In accordance with the relevant Macau law, SJM Resorts will submit an application for the DICJ Approval immediately upon Completion and registration of the transfer of the shares in the Target Company. If SJM Resorts is granted the DICJ Approval prior to the end of the Transition Period, the Group expects operations at Casino L'Arc Macau to continue on an uninterrupted basis. If SJM Resorts is not granted the DICJ Approval prior to the end of the Transition Period, the Group intends to redeploy all the gaming tables currently placed at Casino L'Arc Macau to other casinos of SJM Resorts until the DICJ Approval is obtained. As such, the Group does not expect the application for the DICJ Approval to have a material adverse effect on the gaming operations of the Group as a whole. As of the Latest Practicable Date, SJM Resorts has received a written confirmation from the Macau Government of its intention to grant such approval prior to 31 December 2025, subject to the timely receipt of an application from SJM Resorts which complies with all applicable legal and procedural requirements.

The Acquisition also reflects the Group's commitment to its employees and the local community, as it will continue to provide stability and employment opportunities for Macau residents currently employed by the Target Group. If the DICJ Approval is granted, the continued operation of Casino L'Arc Macau is anticipated to be beneficial not only to the Group, but also to its shareholders, by preserving a meaningful revenue stream and ensuring compliance with local regulatory requirements, minimising operational disruption, and supporting the sustainable growth of the Company's Macau portfolio.

Although the Group notes the financial position of the Target Group as at the date of Acquisition Agreement, however, as stated in the sub-section headed "Consideration" in the Letter from the Board, the purchase price for the Target Company was determined on a debt-free basis and in view of the reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition as discussed above, the Acquisition is nevertheless still regarded as being in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

In light of the above, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors whose views are set out in the letter from the Independent Board Committee in the Circular and excluding Ms. Leong) is of the view the terms of the Acquisition Agreement are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable and that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Loan and the Share Charge

As discussed in the sub-section headed “Consideration” in the Letter from the Board, upon completion of the Pre-sale Reorganisation and the Set-off of Intercompany Balances, the principal liabilities of the Target Group companies would comprise the ICBC Loan, which, as at the date of the Acquisition Agreement, has an outstanding balance of approximately HK$1,927,525,000. As part of the commercial negotiations between the Parties, and as the Parties have determined the purchase price for the Target Company on a debt-free basis, the Parties have agreed that the Purchasers shall upon Completion procure the repayment of the ICBC Loan only up to an amount of HK$1,749,825,243, which is equal to HK$1,750,000,000 (being the valuation of the L’Arc Hotel property) less the Share Purchase Price; hence the total amount payable by Purchasers at Completion shall be HK$1,750,000,000. As such, the Loan is provided to Ms. Leong under the Loan Agreement solely for the purpose of repayment of the Loan Shortfall (as defined below) and to facilitate the Acquisition. Given the reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition to the Group as discussed above, the Company considers it to be in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders to make the Loan to Ms. Leong so as to facilitate the Completion in an effective and efficient manner with minimised uncertainties.

The Loan will be funded by utilisation of credit facility of SJM Resorts (the “Acquisition Facility”). The interest rate of the Loan, which is determined after arm’s length negotiation with reference to the finance costs of SJM Resorts, is agreed to be equivalent to the interest rate payable by SJM Resorts from the utilised Acquisition Facility charged by independent third party financial institution, which would safeguard SJM Resorts’ interests by ensuring that the interest rates would commensurate with its cost of funding.

In addition, Ms. Leong is required to provide the Share Charge as a security based on a loan-to-value ratio of 50%. As a result, the value of the Share Charge would be greater than the principal amount of the Loan. Despite that the interest payment under the Loan will be accrued and be repaid only upon maturity, given the fact that (i) the interest rate charged under the Loan mirrors the same interest rate under the Acquisition Facility of the Group; and (ii) SJM Resorts will be provided with security by way of Share Charge not only on the principal amount but also on the accrued interest of the Loan, the Board considers the interest payment under the Loan is fair and reasonable.

Taking into account the above, and considering the Group is entitled to sell the pledged Shares and apply the proceeds onto the repayment of any outstanding amounts in the case of default by Ms. Leong, the Directors are of the view that the risk exposure of the Loan is adequately mitigated by the above measures.

  • 45 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Taking into account the above, and after further considering that (i) the expected financial effect of the Acquisition and the Loan to the Group would be immaterial; and (ii) the Loan Agreement is entered into on normal commercial terms after arm's length negotiations and taking into account, among other things, the back-to-back interest rate under the Loan Agreement and the Share Charge, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors whose views are set out in the letter from the Independent Board Committee in the Circular and excluding Ms. Leong) is of the view that the terms of the Loan Agreement are fair and reasonable, and the Loan and transactions contemplated under the Loan Agreement, although are not in the ordinary and usual course of business, are to be entered into on normal commercial terms, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Our view

The L'Arc Hotel and where Casino L'Arc Macau is located, has strong geographic advantage to compete with its competitors

The L'Arc Hotel, and Casino L'Arc Macau, is located within the Macau Peninsula, closely connected to the heart of the city and conveniently accessible by a 5-minute drive from the Macau Ferry Terminal. With a few minute walking distance from the L'Arc Hotel, top international hotels and casinos, such as Hotel Wynn Macau, MGM Macau, StarWorld Hotel, are located. Through the Acquisition, it provides the Group with a strong geographic advantage to directly compete with its top competitors both in hotel and casino businesses.

Contribution of Casino L'Arc Macau to the Group is significant

Revenue from satellite casinos have been an important revenue source to the Group. Based on the annual report of the Company for the past six years ended 31 December 2024, gross revenue from satellite casinos had contributed approximately 38% to 63% and 38% to 65% of the Group's gross gaming revenue and total revenue respectively.

As set out in the Letter from Board, in order to comply with the Macau gaming law revised in 2022, the properties where such satellite casinos operate must be directly owned by SJM Resorts or transition to a management agreement structure with no profit-sharing arrangement in order to continue to operate beyond 2025. As set out in the announcement of the Company dated 9 June 2025 (the "June Announcement"), the Group operated a total of nine satellite casinos, but the Board had decided not to continue gaming operations at the following seven satellite casinos beyond 31 December 2025: namely Casino Casa Real, Casino Emperor Palace, Casino Fortuna, Casino Grandview, Casino Kam Pek Paradise, Casino Landmark, and Casino Legend Palace. Further, as set out in an announcement of the Company dated 20 November 2025, among others, Casino Ponte 16 will officially cease operations ahead of schedule at 23:59 on 28 November 2025. As advised by the Management, following coordination with the relevant government authorities and the relevant service providers, the Group has ceased the operation of four satellite casinos, namely Casino Emperor Palace, Casino Grandview, Casino Legend Palace and Casino Casa Real since the date of the June Announcement. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group operated five satellite casinos.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As further advised by the Management, Casino L'Arc Macau was one of the four best performing satellite casinos of the Group. As such, it is considered that Casino L'Arc Macau is one important income source to the Group.

The L'Arc Hotel is a well-established five star hotel

The L'Arc Hotel was officially opened on 21 September 2009. It is noted that it has been operating for a long history of over 16 years. The L'Arc Hotel is rated as a five-star hotel with a total of 283 hotel rooms. The L'Arc Hotel has provided guests with a wide range of room types, including deluxe room, premier room, suite, director suite and duplex room with outdoor garden. Inside the L'Arc Hotel, there are different entertainment facilities, such as swimming pool, gym room, club, sauna and casino. Guests can also enjoy certain shopping experiences in the L'Arc Hotel covering jewellery, healthcare products, fashion and leather products. Last but not least, a variety of cuisines is available, such as Chinese cuisine, coffee shop, bar and restaurant.

As further advised by the Management, the average monthly occupancy rate of the L'Arc Hotel for 2023, 2024 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2025 was approximately 94.3%, 96.7% and 96.9% respectively.

Based on the above, we concur with the Board's view that the L'Arc Hotel, which we consider it is a well-established five-star hotel with long history and comprehensive service offerings to guests, is an attractive asset to enhance the Group's current hotel portfolio as discussed below.

Increase the Group's hotel portfolio and promote its market share in luxury hotel section in Macau

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group operated two five-star or above hotels, namely the Grand Lisboa Palace Resort hotel (which is located in Cotai, Macau), and the Grand Lisboa hotel (which is located in the Macau Peninsula). The Macau Peninsula, where the Casino L'Arc Macau is located, is the historic heart of Macau. Certain major landmarks and attractions are located in the Macau Peninsula. It also has geographical advantage that is conveniently accessible by a 5-minute drive from the Macau Ferry Terminal.

Based on the information from Macao Government Tourism Office, we note that there are 17 five-star or above hotels located in the Macau Peninsula. Upon Completion, the Group will own two out of 17 five-star or above hotels in the Macau Peninsula and a total of three five-star or above hotels in Macau.

As such, the Acquisition allows the Company to increase the Group's hotel portfolio and promote its market share position in luxury hotels at prime locations in Macau.

It was believed that such decrease was mainly attributable to, among others, the outbreak of coronavirus disease in late 2019. Since 2020, the gross revenue from games of fortune in Macau had showed a general upward trend. As shown in chart above, the gross revenue from games of fortune in Macau increased from approximately MOP60,441 million in 2020 to MOP226,782 million in 2024, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 39%. In 2024, the gross gaming revenue from games of fortune in Macau has also reached a peak high. For the third quarter of 2025, the gross gaming revenue from games of fortune in Macau was approximately MOP181,341 million, representing an increase of approximately 7.1%, as compared to that of approximately MOP169,355 million in the corresponding period in 2024.

According to latest statistics published by the Government of Macao Special Administrative Region Statistics and Census Services, the receipts from hotels in Macau had plummeted from approximately MOP38,271 million in 2019 to MOP13,036 million in 2020. It was believed that such decrease was mainly attributable to, among others, the outbreak of coronavirus disease in late 2019. Since 2020, the receipts from hotels in Macau had showed a general upward trend. As shown in the chart above, the receipts from hotels in Macau increased from approximately MOP13,036 million in 2020 to MOP43,305 million in 2024, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 35%. In 2024, the receipts from hotels in Macau has also reached a peak high.

Based on the above, we consider that the gaming industry and hotel industry in Macau are robust and the Acquisition allows the Company to capture the benefit from not only maintaining the casino business but also expanding the hotel business, both of which are being the principal business segments of the Group.

Having considered the above, we concur with the Board that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As disclosed in the sub-section headed “Conditions precedent” in the Letter from the Board, under condition (xiii), it was further agreed between the Parties that a Set-off of Intercompany Balances will be completed prior to Completion, such that all loans and current accounts between the Target Group companies and any Vendors’ group company or the Guarantor (or any affiliate of any of them) will be repaid and satisfied or otherwise set-off in full, together with all accrued but unpaid interest and any tax exposure arising from the settlement of these loans and current accounts, and all related security being fully and unconditionally discharged, on or before Completion. Based on the latest unaudited consolidated accounts of the Target Group for the eight months ended 31 August 2025, the Set-off of Intercompany Balances involved using outstanding amounts due to the Target Group of approximately MOP3,783,311,676 (or approximately HK$3,673,118,132) and outstanding amounts payable by the Target Group of approximately MOP3,283,903,026 (or approximately HK$3,188,255,365).

Upon completion of the Pre-sale Reorganisation and the Set-off of Intercompany Balances:

(i) the principal assets of the Target Group will comprise the L’Arc Hotel. Based on the property valuation of the L’Arc Hotel issued by CBRE Advisory Hong Kong Limited (an independent professional valuer) for the purposes of the Acquisition, the market value of the L’Arc Hotel was approximately HK$1,750,000,000 as at 30 September 2025; and

(ii) the principal liabilities of the Target Group will comprise mainly the ICBC Loan, the outstanding amount of which as at the date of Acquisition Agreement was HK$1,927,525,000.

Consideration

The Parties have determined the purchase price for the Target Company on a debt-free basis.

Taking into account the net liabilities position of the Target Group and the loss-making performance of the Target Group for the latest financial year, after arm’s length negotiations between the Parties, the Parties have agreed that: (i) the purchase price of all the issued shares of the Target Company under the Acquisition Agreement shall be their nominal value, being MOP180,000 (or approximately HK$174,757) (the “Share Purchase Price”); and (ii) the Purchasers shall upon Completion procure the repayment of the ICBC Loan up to an amount of HK$1,749,825,243 which is equal to HK$1,750,000,000 (being the valuation of the L’Arc Hotel property) less the Share Purchase Price. Hence the total amount payable by the Purchasers at Completion shall be HK$1,750,000,000 which is equal to the Valuation of the L’Arc Hotel as at 30 September 2025, and will be funded by the Acquisition Facility of the Group.

  • 51 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Under the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, the Parties have further agreed that Ms. Leong and the Vendors shall procure the repayment, simultaneously with Completion, of (i) the balance of the ICBC Loan, being the sum of HK$177,525,000 and HK$174,757 (in aggregate, the “Loan Balance”), which will be financed by the Loan and the Share Purchase Price, respectively; and (ii) all interest accrued to the date of Completion and related repayment expenses in relation to the ICBC Loan. As part of the negotiation of the terms of the Acquisition, SJM Resorts has agreed to advance the Loan of HK$177,525,000 (being the Loan Balance less the Share Purchase Price, hereafter referred to as the “Loan Shortfall”) to Ms. Leong to finance her portion of the repayment of the ICBC Loan, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement. For further information on the Loan, please refer to the section headed “(C) THE LOAN” in the Letter from the Board.

The repayment of the Purchaser’s portion of the ICBC Loan and the advancement of the Loan, are expected to be funded by the Group’s Acquisition Facility. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group had available Acquisition Facility amount of approximately HK$3,325 million, which is sufficient to satisfy its portion of the ICBC Loan and the advancement of the Loan.

Based on the information provided by the Vendors, the last acquisition cost of the Target Group in 2020 was based on a valuation of approximately HK$3.5 billion.

Closing Accounts and Closing Accounts payments

Following the determination of the Cash, Indebtedness and Working Capital which shall be derived from the Closing Accounts:

(i) the Vendors shall be entitled to receive by way of a Closing Accounts payment of HK$1 for each HK$1 by which Cash and Working Capital net of Indebtedness exceeds HK$0, up to a maximum aggregate amount of HK$16 million; and

(ii) the Purchasers shall be entitled to receive by way of a Closing Accounts payment of HK$1 for each HK$1 by which Cash and Working Capital net of Indebtedness is less than HK$0.

The maximum aggregate amount of HK$16 million payable to the Vendors is an estimate determined with reference to the unaudited consolidated total asset of the Target Group as at 31 August 2025, excluding the book value of the L’Arc Hotel and assuming completion of the Pre-sale Reorganisation and the Set-off of Intercompany Balances.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Our view

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Loan is expected to be funded by utilisation of the Acquisition Facility of the Group and we noted that the interest rate of the Loan shall mirror the same interest rate determined under the Acquisition Facility.

We have reviewed the loan document in relation to the Acquisition Facility and noted that the amount of loan facilities thereunder is sufficient to cover the Loan.

To further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Loan Agreement regarding the Default Interest rate and the accrued interest repayment arrangement, we have conducted our independent research based on comparable analysis through identifying the provision of loan announced by companies listed on the Main Board and GEM of the Stock Exchange between 20 June 2025 and the date of the Announcement (the "Comparison Review Period"). We consider that the Comparison Review Period is sufficient as it is intended to identify the most recent loan transactions conducted by companies listed on the Main Board and GEM of the Stock Exchange under the market conditions and sentiment similar to that of the Loan, thus allowing reasonable comparison of their commercial terms. Given that (i) such period would provide us with recent and relevant information to demonstrate the prevailing market practice prior to the Announcement under the prevailing market conditions; and (ii) we are able to identify sufficient and reasonable sample size for selection of comparables within the Comparison Review Period, we consider the Comparison Review Period of approximately 5 months is fair and reasonable. Based on the aforementioned criteria, on a best effort basis, we have noted and reviewed an exhaustive list of 60 similar loan transactions (together the "Loan Comparables").

Notwithstanding that the subject companies constituting the Loan Comparables may have different principal activities, market capitalisation, profitability and financial position as compared with those of the Company, we would still consider, in light of our selection criteria, capturing recent loan transactions by listed companies under similar market conditions and sentiments can provide Shareholders with a broad perspective of recent market trend of this type of transaction which is similar to that of the Loan Agreement.

As advised by the Management, the reassessed value of the Target Group after adjustments of the aforesaid effects are as follows:

Unaudited consolidated net liabilities of the Target Group as at 31 August 2025 (“Item A”)
approximately HK$(849.8) million

Item A after adjustment of completion of the Pre-sale Reorganisation and the Set-off of Intercompany Balances (“Item B”)
approximately HK$(1,334.6) million (Note 1)

Item B after adjustment of the ICBC Loan of HK$177.525 million to be repaid by Ms. Leong and the Vendors (“Item C”)
approximately HK$(1,157.1) million

Item C after adjustment of the market value of the L’Arc Hotel of HK$1,750 million as at 30 September 2025 (the “Reassessed Net Liabilities”)
approximately HK$(15.7) million (Note 2)

Note 1 This amount is derived by adjusting (i) the outstanding amounts due to the Target Group of approximately MOP3,783.3 million (or approximately HK$3,673.1 million) as at 31 August 2025; and (ii) the outstanding amounts payable by the Target Group of approximately MOP3,283.9 million (or approximately HK$3,188.3 million) as at 31 August 2025.

Note 2 This amount is derived by adjusting the book value of the L’Arc Hotel of approximately HK$608.6 million as at 31 August 2025 and the market value of the L’Arc Hotel of HK$1,750 million. This amount is for illustration purpose and shall be determined and derived from the Closing Accounts in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement.

As set out above, on the assumption that Completion had taken place as at 31 August 2025, the Target Group would have recorded the Reassessed Net Liabilities of HK$15.7 million. As advised by the Management and in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, assuming everything being constant and for illustrative purpose only, based on the above, the Vendors are obligated to compensate the Purchasers the balance of HK$15.7 million (the “Closing Accounts Payment”), adjusting the Target Group’s net value to nil pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement.

According to the Acquisition Agreement, the Share Purchase Price of MOP180,000 (or approximately HK$174,757) shall be compensated to the Purchasers by the Vendors in the way that the Purchasers shall procure the repayment of the ICBC Loan up to an amount of HK$1,749,825,243, which is equal to HK$1,750,000,000 (being the valuation of the L’Arc Hotel) less the Share Purchase Price, while the Vendors shall bear the exact amount of HK$174,757 when repaying their portion of the ICBC Loan. Hence the total amount payable by Purchasers at Completion shall be HK$1,750,000,000, which is equal to the market value of the L’Arc Hotel of HK$1,750,000,000 as at 30 September 2025.

In view of the above and considering the benefits from the Acquisition as set out in the section headed “4. Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition and the Loan” above, we consider that the Share Purchase Price of MOP180,000 (or approximately HK$174,757) to be fair and reasonable.

  • 67 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As illustrated above, the Vendors (being companies wholly owned by Ms. Leong) would have to compensate the Purchasers the Closing Accounts Payment of approximately HK$15.7 million. We noted that as at the Latest Practicable Date, Ms. Leong beneficially owned 574,269,099 Shares. Excluding expected 143,057,717 Shares to be charged under the Share Charge, the remaining 431,211,382 Shares was valued at approximately HK$1,138.4 million based on the closing price of the Shares of HK$2.64 per Share as at the Latest Practicable Date. We consider that the Vendors and Ms. Leong have the financial capability to settle the Closing Accounts Payment.

8. The Valuation

As set out in the Letter from the Board, according to the Acquisition Agreement, the Target Group will complete the Pre-sale Reorganisation and the Set-off of Intercompany Balances immediately prior to Completion such that, the major assets of the Target Group will comprise mainly the L'Arc Hotel. As such, we have focused on the value of the L'Arc Hotel (the "Property") in the amount of HK$1,750 million as at 30 September 2025 (the "Valuation") as appraised by CBRE Advisory Hong Kong Limited (the "Independent Valuer").

In assessing the Valuation, we have reviewed the report on valuation of the Property prepared by the Independent Valuer (the "Valuation Report") and discussed with the Independent Valuer in relation to (i) the methodologies, basis and assumptions used in performing the valuation on the Property; (ii) their scope of work for conducting the valuation on the Property; and (iii) their relevant professional qualifications as a property valuer.

Independence, qualification and scope of work of the Independent Valuer

We have discussed with the engagement team of the Independent Valuer as to their independence, expertise, valuation experience and their scope of work in relation to the Valuation.

Based on the information provided by the Independent Valuer, the responsible person in charge of the Valuation Report, namely Ms. Hannah Jeong, is a fellow of the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors ("HKIS"), a fellow of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors ("RICS") and Registered Professional Surveyors (General Practice) and RICS Registered Valuer. She has over 19 years' experience in real estate valuation in Hong Kong. The Valuation was also assisted by Mr. Terence Yeung, who is a member HKIS and a member of RICS. He has over 10 years of experience in conducting valuation of assets.

The Independent Valuer confirmed that it is independent of and does not have any present or prospective interests with the Company, Ms. Leong and the Vendors.

By reviewing the terms of engagement of the Independent Valuer with the Company, we noted that the scope of work performed was appropriate for the Independent Valuer to form a reliable opinion in the Valuation Report and there were no limitations on the scope of work which may adversely impact the degree of the Valuation. As such, we are not aware of any major factor which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the assumptions and methodologies adopted for the Valuation Report.


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Nothing has come to our attention that the Company or any party to the Acquisition Agreement has made formal or informal representations to the Independent Valuer that contravenes our understanding of the Valuation.

Basis and assumptions of the Valuation

We noted that the Valuation Report has been prepared in accordance with all the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Listing Rules, the RICS Valuation – Global Standards 2025 and IVSC valuation standards (IVS, effective from 31 January 2025. The Valuation was prepared based on market value, which follows the definition of market value as stipulated in the RICS Valuation – Global Standards 2025 as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

Furthermore, the Valuation has been made on the assumptions that (i) Arc of Triumph Development has a good legal title to the Property and has free and uninterrupted rights to occupy, use, transfer, lease or assign the Property for the whole unexpired term granted without legal impediment; (ii) upon the expiration of the term, the legal title is renewable for further consecutive of 10 years without extra land premium, subject to applicable legislation in Macau; (iii) the owner sells the Property on the open market without the benefit and burden of any deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the value of the Property; (iv) no allowance has been made in the Valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale; (v) the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value; (vi) the government lease could be automatically renewed without any land premium payment given that the lessee has fulfilled all the obligations under the land grant document; and (vii) the use of the Property complies with the land lease, license, and all other statutory regulations.

It is also noted that the Independent Valuer has undertaken the Valuation on the basis that the Property is operated with retail and hotel uses only and no gaming revenue is taken into consideration while assessing the market value of the Property. As advised by the Independent Valuer, under the legislative context of Macau's revised Gaming Law (Law No. 7/2022), all casinos must be located within properties owned by their respective gaming concessionaires. The existing casino operation arrangement between the property owner and the casino operator would represent a special purchaser scenario and would not reflect the current market value as defined under IVS.

We are given to understand from the Independent Valuer that the aforesaid assumptions are commonly adopted in the valuation of properties.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Valuation methodology

As set out in the Valuation Report, the Independent Valuer has adopted income approach for the Valuation. In particular, we are given to understand from the Independent Valuer that it has considered the characteristics of revenue stream from each of the retail, hotel and car park portion of the Property. The retail portion of the Property refers to retail shops subject to various tenancies with contracted rental revenue until the expiry of the relevant leases, valuation has taken into account both passing rental income (i.e. contracted rent) and market rental income upon expiry of such leases, thus a term and reversion method is adopted. While the Property's hotel portion and car park portion do not enjoy a long term tenancy, the Independent Valuer considered that it is appropriate to apply market rates as at valuation date and apply direct capitalization method in arriving at their opinion of market value.

The market approach is not adopted for the Valuation as there are limited sales transactions for properties with similar magnitude and characteristics in Macau. We have reviewed the list of the sales transactions and noted that the Independent Valuer could only identify one comparable sales transaction in recent times, which is the sale of the 13 Hotel, Macau conducted in 2025. This transaction represented a forced-sales situation and hence shall not be considered as an appropriate price benchmark.

We also noted that income approach is a common valuation method and the Property is a revenue generating asset with long operating history and identifiable revenue stream.

In view of the above, we consider that the income approach, in particular the term and reversion method for the retail portion and direct capitalisation method for hotel portion and car park portion, to be fair and reasonable and appropriate.

The Independent Valuer has assessed the market value of the Property in three parts, namely the hotel portion, the retail portion and the car park portion. Details of which are as follows.

(1) The retail portion

The Independent Valuer has valued the retail portion with existing tenancies of the Property with Income Approach – Term and Reversion method. This method is relied on adopting appropriate capitalization rate to capitalize the passing rental income (i.e. contracted rent) and reversionary income (i.e. market rent).

  • 70 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have discussed with the Independent Valuer on the valuation methodology applied and were given to understand that the valuation of the retail portion is based on the following:

(i) a passing rent for each retail shop of the Property ranging from MOP16 to MOP484 per square feet per month, which was determined with reference to the actual contracted rent under the respective existing tenancy agreements. A market rent ranging from MOP14 to MOP287 per square feet per month (representing the expected rental income for the retail shop upon expiry of the existing tenancy agreements) is assumed with reference to the market comparables. Details of the aforesaid rents are set out in the “Appendix I – Valuation Report” in the Circular.

We reviewed the comparables provided by the Independent Valuer. For valuation purpose, the Independent Valuer has selected market comparables with the following selection criteria: (Location) retail shops located in the Macau Peninsula; (Transaction Date) retail asking rents or transactions recorded within two years from the date of the Valuation; and (Property Type) property type which is similar to the retail portion of the Property (the “Retail Comparables”).

Based on further discussion with the Independent Valuer, we have observed that the Retail Comparables are limited to Freguesia da Sé district, being the southeast part of the Macau Peninsula and the district that the Property is located. With regard to the expected rental income for the retail shop, we were given to understand from the Independent Valuer that it only identified 2 Retail Comparables that were transacted and completed. In view of the limited completed transactions, the Independent Valuer then considered and searched from public property rental websites in Macau, including Centaline Property and MalimaliHome, to obtain additional Retail Comparables. Details of the Retail Comparables are set out in the “Appendix I – Valuation Report” in the Circular.

It is noted that the Independent Valuer has included Chow Tai Fook (comparable 4), a retail unit located within the Property, as one of the Retail Comparables. We noted that this comparable is a completed transaction in September 2025, being a date close to the date of Valuation of 30 September 2025. In view that this comparable is a completed transaction and transacted on a date close to the date of the Valuation, it provides an updated and certain data for assessment, we therefore consider it is appropriate to include this comparable.

It is also noted that the adopted market rents are lower than the passing rent (i.e. contracted rent) for the Property’s respective retail portion.

Considering (i) the Retail Comparables are all located in the Macau Peninsula, of which the Property is situated; (ii) there are 8 Retail Comparables, we are of the view that the selection criteria of the Retail Comparables are fair and representative.

  • 71 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(ii) The capitalization rates adopted for the passing rent and market rent was 4.75% and 5.0% respectively, which were determined with reference to a quarter three of 2025 Asia Pacific Cap Rate Survey conducted by the Independent Valuer (the "Cap Rate Survey").

We have obtained and reviewed the Cap Rate Survey and noted that the Independent Valuer has made reference to the capitalisation rates for shopping malls in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, such capitalization rates are ranged from 4.4% to 6.75%, the capitalization rates adopted for the passing rent and market rent of 4.75% and 5.0% respectively are within such range.

The Cap Rate Survey has studied the shopping malls from a total of 21 cities across eight countries in Asia Pacific Region. Under Greater China, the Cap Rate Survey has studied cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Hong Kong and Taipei. Given that Shenzhen and Hong Kong are considered to have higher similarity to Macau with respect to geographical location and investment sentiment, we consider that reference made to Shenzhen and Hong Kong to be appropriate.

We further understand that appropriate adjustments have been considered and made by the Independent Valuer for relevant factors including transaction nature, location, size, quality, provision of frontage, layout, floor and accessibility to reflect the differences between the Retail Comparables and the retail portion of the Property. In order to assess the fairness and representative of the adjustments applied to the Retail Comparables, we have discussed with the Independent Valuer on the adjustments made to reflect different attributes between the Retail Comparables and the retail portion of the Property. We are given to understand that (i) discount is applied to asking comparables against actual transaction; (ii) units with smaller unit size command a higher unit rent due to larger pool of investor/end-user; (iii) units located with high pedestrian flow and in high street command a higher unit rent; (iv) units with better building quality command a higher unit rent; (v) units with street frontage or provision of return frontage command a higher unit rent due to higher exposure to pedestrians; (vi) units with regular layout generally command a higher unit rent; and (vii) units located on lower floors or with better accessibility with dedicated lift access command a higher unit rent compared with units located on higher floors.

(2) The hotel portion

The Independent Valuer has valued the hotel portion of the Property with direct capitalisation method. This method converts a net operating income of the hotel into a capital value by capitalizing the income by a market-derived capitalization rate.

  • 72 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have discussed with the Independent Valuer on the valuation methodology applied and were given to understand that the valuation of the hotel portion is based on the followings:

(i) an assumed average daily rate ("ADR") of MOP853 per room, which was determined with reference to the market comparables.

We reviewed the comparables provided by the Independent Valuer. For valuation purpose, the Independent Valuer has selected market comparables with the following selection criteria: hotels located in the Macau Peninsula; hotels with four-star to five-star rating which is similar to the Property (the "Hotel Comparables"). In particular, the Independent Valuer selected 7 hotels, namely New Orient Landmark Hotel, Hotel Lisboa Macau, Ascott Macau, Metropark Hotel Macau, Grand Emperor Hotel, Hotel Presidente and Grand Lisboa Hotel Macau.

Based on further discussion with the Independent Valuer, we have observed that the Hotel Comparables are limited to Freguesia da Sé district, being the southeast part of the Macau Peninsula and the district that the Property is located. We have also observed that the Hotel Comparables are all four-star to five-star hotels. We also understood that the Independent Valuer obtained the room rate of the Hotel Comparables from public online travel agency websites, including booking.com and trip.com.

Considering (i) the Hotel Comparables are all located in the Macau Peninsula, of which the Property is situated; and there are 7 Hotel Comparables, we are of the view that the selection criteria of the Hotel Comparables are fair and representative.

(ii) an assumed occupancy rate of 95%, which was determined with reference to actual historical occupancy rate of the Property and industry average rate published by the Macao Government Tourism Office.

Based on the information obtained, we noted that the average historical occupancy rate of the Property's hotel portion for the year ended 31 December 2024 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2025 was approximately 96.7% and 96.9% respectively. We have also obtained and reviewed the information published by Macau Hotel Association which indicated the average occupancy rate of four-star and five-star hotels in Macau from January to September 2025 was 96.9% and 94.4%. The assumed occupancy rate adopted of 95% is within such range.

(iii) an assumed revenue from food and beverage of approximately MOP87.0 million per annum, which was determined with reference to the historical revenue from the Property's food and beverage for the nine months ended 30 September 2025.

  • 73 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Based on the information provided, we noted that the revenue from the Property's food and beverage was approximately MOP70.7 million for the nine months ended 30 September 2025 and would have been approximately MOP94.3 million on an annualised basis. It is noted that the Independent Valuer has assumed a lower annual revenue from such food and beverage.

(iv) an assumed net operating income margin of 12.7%, which was determined with reference to statistics on Macau hotel sector published by the Government of Macao Special Administrative Region Statistics and Census Services.

Based on the information provided, we noted that the Independent Valuer has made reference to the gross surplus ratio (calculated by the receipts and expenditure of hotel sector in Macau) of approximately 22.0% and 18.7% for 2023 and 2024 respectively. It is noted that the Independent Valuer has assumed a lower ratio of 12.7%.

(v) the capitalization rate adopted was 5.0%, which was determined with reference to the Cap Rate Survey.

We have obtained and reviewed the Cap Rate Survey and noted the Independent Valuer has made reference to capitalisation rates for hotels in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and such rates are ranged from 4.5% to 6.5%. The adopted capitalisation rate adopted of 5.0% is within such range.

The Cap Rate Survey has studied the hotels from a total of 21 cities across nine countries in Asia Pacific Region. Under Greater China, the Cap Rate Survey has studied cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Given that Shenzhen and Hong Kong are considered to have higher similarity to Macau with respect to geographical location and investment sentiment, we consider that reference made to Shenzhen and Hong Kong to be appropriate.

We further understand that appropriate adjustments have been considered and made by the Independent Valuer in deriving the market level ADR of the Property for relevant factors including star rating, location, operator, room size, building age and quality to reflect the differences between the Hotel Comparables and the hotel portion of the Property. In order to assess the fairness and representative of the adjustments applied to the Hotel Comparables, we have discussed with the Independent Valuer on the adjustments made to reflect different attributes between the Hotel Comparables and the hotel portion of the Property. We are given to understand that (i) hotels with higher star rating command a higher room rate; (ii) hotels with a better and more convenient location command a higher room rate; (iii) hotels with a renowned operator command a higher room rate; (iv) hotels with larger typical room command a higher room rate; (v) hotels that are built more recently command a higher room rate; and (vi) hotels with better quality command a higher room rate.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(3) The car park portion

The Independent Valuer has valued the car park portion of the Property with direct capitalisation method. This method converts a rental income into a capital value by capitalizing the income by a market-derived capitalization rate.

We have discussed with the Independent Valuer on the valuation methodology applied and were given to understand that the valuation of the car park portion (i.e. private car parking space and motorcycle parking space) is based on:

(i) an assumed monthly rental rate for private car parking space and motorcycle parking space of MOP2,500 and MOP900 respectively, which were determined with reference to their respective actual rental rate for the nine months ended 30 September 2025, being the date of the Valuation.

Based on the information provided, we noted that the monthly rental rate for private car parking space and motorcycle parking space is fixed at MOP2,500 and MOP900 during the nine months ended 30 September 2025.

(ii) an assumed occupancy rate for each of private car parking space and motorcycle parking space of 45% and 25% respectively. The aforesaid occupancy rates were assumed with reference to their respective historical occupancy rate of the Property's parking space for the nine months ended 30 September 2025.

Based on the information provided, we noted that the historical occupancy rate for private car parking space was ranged from 45% to 47% and was 45% for September 2025. While the historical occupancy rate for motorcycle parking space was ranged from 20% to 27% and was 27% for September 2025. The assumed occupancy rates are within such ranges.

(iii) the capitalization rate adopted was 5.25%, which was determined with reference to research conducted by on the Independent Valuer on large scale car parking space transactions in Hong Kong (the "Research").

Further to discussion with the Independent Valuer, it has first attempted to draw reference to large scale car parking transactions in Macau, but no such transaction was identified, and therefore expanded to those in Hong Kong. Given that Hong Kong is considered to have higher similarity to Macau with respect to geographical location and investment sentiment, we consider that reference made to Hong Kong to be appropriate. We have obtained and reviewed the results on the Research and noted that there are five transactions identified by the Independent Valuer and the estimated capitalisation rates are ranged from 3.6% to 6.0%. The capitalisation rate adopted of 5.25% is within the aforesaid range.

As advised by the Independent Valuer, no adjustment has been considered and made in relation to the valuation of the car park portion of the Property.


LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

With respect to the adjustment factors considered and made in relation to the valuation of the hotel portion and retail portion of the Property, we have obtained and reviewed IVSC valuation standards (effective from 31 January 2025), under which a valuer should analyse and make adjustments for any significant differences between the comparable transaction and the subject asset. Examples of common differences include, but not limited to, material characteristics (age, size, specification, etc) and geographical location. Based on our research, we also noted that it is not uncommon in the market to apply adjustment factors in property valuation. With respect to each adjustment factor considered by the Independent Valuer for the Property's retail portion and hotel portion as mentioned above, we are given to understand that those adjustments are based on the professional judgement and experience of the Independent Valuer leveraging on its expertise and experience, in particular Ms. Hannah Jeong is a qualified valuer with over 19 years' experience in real estate valuation. In addition, we consider that the direction of adjustment of each factor to be logical. As such, we consider that the adjustments applied in the Valuation to be fair, reasonable and appropriate.

Our view

Based on our analysis and work performed, we consider that the Valuation as set out in the Valuation Report determined by the Independent Valuer after their work performed, is an appropriate reference point to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Share Purchase Price under the Acquisition Agreement.

9. Possible financial effects of the Acquisition and the Loan

Earnings

As set out in the Letter from the Board, it is expected that the L'Arc Hotel will contribute rental income to the Group following Completion. The Company further expects that there will be no material gain or loss arising from the Acquisition for the Group immediately upon Completion.

Assets

As set out in the Letter from the Board, upon Completion, each company of the Target Group shall become a subsidiary of the Company, and the Target Group's results will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group. As the purchase price for the shares of the Target Company will be settled in full in cash funded by the Acquisition Facility of the Group upon Completion, the Group expects that there will be no material change on the net assets of the Group immediately upon Completion.

28 November 2025

Dear Sirs,

RE: Hotel, Commercial and Carpark Portion of L'Arc Hotel Macau, Nos. 238 – 320, Avenida 24 de Junho, NAPE, Macau (the "Property")

We refer to the instructions from SJM Holdings Limited (the "Instructing Party") for us to carry out a valuation of the Property, which is intended for investment purpose, as at the Date of Valuation (defined hereinafter). Details are set out in the attached valuation certificate. We confirm that we have made relevant investigations and enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the Market Value of the Property as at 30 September 2025 (the "Date of Valuation") for inclusion in the circular issued by the Instructing Party on the date hereof (the "Circular"). We have valued the Property in its existing status and assumed it is free from encumbrances.


APPENDIX I

VALUATION REPORT

Valuation Basis

Unless otherwise specified in the report, the valuations are conducted in accordance with the RICS Valuation – Global Standards 2025 and IVSC valuation standards (IVS), effective from 31 January 2025, where applicable and appropriate. All valuations are undertaken by appropriately qualified professionals and the definition of Market Value and valuation methodologies are in line with the above standards, unless otherwise specified.

Our valuation is made on the basis of Market Value, which is defined under the RICS Valuation – Global Standards 2025 as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion” (the “Market Value”).

We have also complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”).

Notwithstanding the presence of casino operations at the Property as of the valuation date, our valuation has been undertaken on the basis that its is operated with retail and hotel uses only.

Pursuant to Section 5 of Macau’s revised Gaming Law (Law No. 7/2022), all casinos must be located within properties owned by their respective gaming concessionaires.

In light of this, we understand most satellite casinos are expected to cease operations by 2025.

The subject property’s lower floors are currently occupied by a casino operator; however, based on the above, this use does not reflect an open market scenario. Under Executive Orders Nos. 218/2022 to 223/2022, only six gaming concessions have been granted for a 10-year term starting 1 January 2023.

Given these regulatory changes and the planned closure of satellite casinos, the likelihood of a sale to another concessionaire for gaming use at the current time is minimal. Concessionaire holders are in the midst of reassessing their current operations, and are unlikely to be expanding into new premises, or would only do so at a value akin to non-concessionaire purchasers. Accordingly, the property has been valued based on its highest and best use in the open market at preset time as at the Date of Valuation –as a retail and hotel asset–without any premium for casino operations.

The existing casino operation arrangement between the property owner and the casino operator represents would represent a special purchaser scenario and would not reflect the current market value as defined under IVS. Therefore, the valuation excludes any uplift associated with gaming use and reflects the most probable price achievable in an open market transaction as at the Date of Valuation.

We are not legal professionals, and the above situation outlines our understanding of the current local laws in relation to casino operation, which has also been confirmed by the Instructing Party.

Whether the Casino operation would become a high value in the future would be based on prevailing market conditions, which the impact of the new laws have settled. Caution is advised in this regard.


APPENDIX I

VALUATION REPORT

Valuation Assumptions

Market Value is understood as the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the Date of Valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

The value stated in this report represents our objective opinion of value in accordance with the definition set out above as of the Date of Valuation. Our assessment assumes (amongst other things) that the Property has been properly marketed and that exchange of contracts took place on that date.

In undertaking our valuation, we have assumed that Arc of Triumph Development Company Limited has a good legal title to the Property and has free and uninterrupted rights to occupy, use, transfer, lease or assign the Property for the whole unexpired term granted without legal impediment.

Up to our best knowledge and interview with the management of the Property, it is also assumed that, upon the expiration of the term, the legal title is renewable for further consecutive of 10 years without extra land premium, subject to applicable legislation in Macau.

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the Property on the open market without the benefit and burden of any deferred terms contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the value of the Property.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale.

Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.

Given the Property is held under a leasehold right, it is assumed that the government lease could be automatically renewed without any land premium payment given that the lessee has fulfilled all the obligations under the land grant document.

Unless otherwise stated, our valuation assumes that the use of the Property complies with the land lease, license, and all other statutory regulations.

We have conducted internal and external inspections of the Property on 23 October 2025 to such extent that we consider necessary for the purpose of this valuation. We were not instructed to undertake any structural surveys, test the services, or arrange for any investigations to be carried out to determine whether any deleterious materials have been used in the construction of the Property. Our valuation has therefore been undertaken on the basis that the Property is in satisfactory repair and condition and contains no deleterious materials and that services function satisfactorily. Based on our inspection, we understand the Property is connected to all primary utility services including water, electricity, telephone, sewage and drainage. Based on our inspection, we are not aware of any environmental hazards nor breach of environmental regulations by Arc of Triumph Development Company Limited (the "Target Company").

  • I-3 -

APPENDIX I

VALUATION REPORT

We have obtained legal opinion that the Target Company has a clean and good title to the Property. In our course of valuation and investigation, including but not limited to our discussion with management and analysis on land registration document, we are not aware of any pending litigation, breaches of law or title defects.

As advised by the Instructing Party, there is no plan for construction, renovation or development of the Property as at the valuation date that would materially impact the value of the Property.

We have not undertaken archaeological, ecological, or environmental surveys. Our valuation is on the basis that these aspects are satisfactory, that no extraordinary expenses will be incurred due to any archaeological or ecological matter. This report does not make any allowance for contamination or pollution of land, if any, which may have occurred as a result of past usage.

Valuation Methodology

We have primarily adopted the Income approach in assessing the Market Value of the Property. The Income Approach indicates value by converting future cash flows to a single current capital value.

For retail portion, we have valued the Property with Term and Reversion Method.

The Term and Reversion Method relied on adopting appropriate capitalisation rates to capitalize the passing rental income and reversionary income potential, which are derived from analysis of recent transactions and interpretating of the prevailing investor requirements or expectations. The prevailing, market rents in our valuation have reference to our view of recent lettings, from the Property and other comparable premises.

In the Term and Reversion Method, we have assumed all vacant parts of the Property are let out at market rent immediately on the Date of Valuation while the tenanted parts of the Property will be let out at market rent upon the expiry of the existing tenancies.

For hotel portion and carpark portion of the Property, we have adopted Direct Capitalisation Method.

The Direct Capitalisation Method is used when income is not expected to vary significantly over time. The approach converts a market rental income into a capital value by capitalising the income by a market-derived capitalisation rate. It typically involves the analysis of a single year's income, which is capitalised to derive the Property's value. This method assumes that the property's current performance has stabilised.

Alternative Method such as Market approach is not adopted in our course of valuation. Given that there are limited sales transaction for properties with similar magnitude and characteristic in Macau, we have not adopted market approach as transaction information are not readily available as Market Approach is only reliable when there is ample and relevant transactional evidence available which could directly reflect the market conditions.

In determining the market rent of the Property to be adopted for Income Approach, Market Approach is adopted.


APPENDIX I

VALUATION REPORT

The market approach is the most widely used method of valuation and is based on comparing the Property to be valued directly with other comparable properties which have recently transacted. To ascertain the leasing rates, we have made reference to rental comparable. Latest leasing transaction within the Property is also considered. However, because of the heterogeneous nature of real estate properties, appropriate adjustments are usually required to allow for any qualitative and quantitative differences that may affect the rent likely to be achieved by the Property under consideration.

In the course of our valuation, we have made appropriate adjustments for relevant factors including transaction nature, location, accessibility, traffic flow and size to the comparable to reflect the differences between the comparables and the Property.

Different valuation methods have been applied to the retail, hotel, and carpark portions, reflecting the nature of their respective tenancies. For the retail portion, the units are subject to multiple lease agreements with expiry dates ranging from 2026 to 2034. These secured rental incomes play a significant role in determining the property's market value. In contrast, the hotel and carpark portions do not have fixed tenancies; therefore, their income is assessed based on prevailing market conditions. Accordingly, the direct capitalization method has been adopted for these components, applying market rates as of the valuation date to derive their respective market values.

Source of Information

We have obtained the sample land register record from Conservatória do Registo Predial (Land Registry Office) and the Despacho do Secretário para os Transportes e Obras Públicas (Order of the Secretary for Transport and Public Works). However, we have not inspected the original document to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendment which may not appear on the copy handed to us. We have not perused any original land documentation. We have assumed that there is no easement or encumbrance which may affect the value but is not shown in the Land Register records.

We have relied to a considerable extent on the information provided by the Instructing Party and have accepted the advice given to us. No on-site measurement has been taken. Dimension, measurement and area included in the valuation certificate are based on the information provided by the Instructing Party, or the information contained in or our measurement of the plans and documents available to us.

In determining passing rental information, we have relied on the profit and loss account and tenancy schedule provided by the Instructing Party. We have assumed that this information is complete and correct, and that there are no undisclosed side letters or supplementary agreements that could affect the reliability of the financial details relating to the subject property.

Property Inspection

Mr. Terence Yeung (CFA MRICS MHKIS) has provided professional assistance and inspected the Property on 23 October 2025.

We have inspected both the interior and exterior of the Property. In the course of our inspection, we did not notice any serious defects.

APPENDIX I

VALUATION REPORT

  1. In assessing the Market Value of the hotel portion of the Property, we have valued the Property with Direct Capitalisation Method. Hotel value is assessed based on capitalisation of the net operating income (NOI) of the hotel portion, which is derived from the room revenue, food and beverages revenue, as well as operating margin. In assessing the income stream. We have made key assumptions on average daily rate (ADR) and stabilised occupancy rate. In determining the ADR of the Property, we have benchmarked 7 comparable hotels in the vicinity of the Property, including New Orient Landmark Hotel, Hotel Lisboa Macau, Ascott Macau, Metropark Hotel Macau, Grand Emperor Hotel, Hotel Presidente and Grand Lisboa Hotel Macau. Selection criteria of the comparable is highlighted as below:
Selection Criteria Details
Location We have primarily adopted comparables on the Macau Peninsula, which is where the Property is located.
Property Type We have only selected hotels with 4 to 5-star ratings which are deemed similar to the Property.
  1. Key unobservable inputs adopted in our valuation of the hotel portion of the Property are summarised as below:
Major Assumptions Adopted Remarks
Number of Room 283 Based on actual figure
Average Daily Rate (MOP) 853 Derived from comparables
Stabilised Occupancy Rate 95% Reference is made based on hotel industry survey published by Macau Hotel Association
Revenue Per Available Room per night (MOP) 810 Derived from ADR x Stabilised Occupancy Rate
Room Revenue Approx. MOP83.7 million per annum Number of room x Revenue per available room per nights x 365 nights
Food and beverage revenue (MOP) Approx. MOP87 million per annum Derived based on CBRE’s assessment and actual rate
NOI margin 12.7% Based on industry survey and CBRE’s assessment on operating structure
NOI Approx. MOP22,100,000 per annum Based on NOI margin above
Capitalisation Rate 5.00% Derived based on CBRE’s cap rate survey

Comparable daily rates were sourced from various online travel agencies and subsequently adjusted to account for differences in location, star rating, building age, quality, and typical room size between the Property and the comparables. After these adjustments, the ADR ranged from MOP798 to MOP987. We adopted the average adjusted rate as the basis for the Property's ADR.

The occupancy rate of the hotel is derived based on the latest hotel industry survey published by Macau Hotel Association and the historical occupancy figure of the Property.

For the food and beverage income stream, revenue was estimated based on our review of the current operations. It is derived at approximately MOP87 million per annum.


APPENDIX I

VALUATION REPORT

The total gross revenue is assessed at MOP174 million per annum, reflecting stabilized performance derived from room revenue, food and beverage revenue and minor departmental revenue. The figures are derived from both market benchmarks and the latest operational assessment.

NOI margin was calculated after considering the hotel's operating expense structure and industry averages in recent years.

Finally, an appropriate capitalization rate was applied to the stabilized net operating income to determine the market value of the hotel component.

  1. The Term and Reversion Method is adopted for the retail component as it appropriately reflects the investment characteristics of properties subject to existing leases with defined expiry dates. This approach allows for a clear distinction between two income portion: (i) the 'term' period, during which rental income is secured under current tenancy agreements, and (ii) the 'reversionary' period, which represents the anticipated income stream once the property reverts to market rent upon lease expiry.

For the term value, 17 retail units (with an approximate total lettable area of 134,590 sq. ft.) are currently let under existing lease agreements, with contractual expiries ranging from January 2026 to August 2034. Details of the passing rents applicable to these tenancies are presented in Note 14.

  1. We have collected and analysed both rental comparables in the locality and made reference to the latest passing rent of the Property. We have selected eight comparables based on the selection criteria below.
Selection Criteria Details
Location We have primarily adopted comparables on the Macau Peninsula, which is where the Property is located.
Date of Listing/ Lease Commencement We have sourced the most recent asking or transaction comparables that best reflect current market conditions. All of them were listed or commenced within two years prior to the Date of Valuation.

Most of the selected comparables are ground-floor retail units located near the Property. Comparable 4, however, reflects one of the most recent leasing transactions within the Property, with its lease renewal completed in September 2025.

Given that comparable transaction 4 represents an arm-lengths transaction between a willing lessor and willing lessee, and given its strong similarity to another unit within the Property, we consider Comparable 4 to be an appropriate inclusion among the selected comparables, despite being situated within the same Property.

  1. In our course of valuation of the retail portion, we have made adjustments on various factors including location, size, quality, frontage and comparable nature to account for the differences between the comparables and the Property. The rationale for adjustment factors is highlighted below:
Adjustment Factors Details
Transaction Nature Adjustment was made to reflect the differences in terms of transaction nature. Discount is applied to asking comparables against actual transaction rates.
Location Adjustment was made to reflect the differences in locality and pedestrian flow of the location of the units.
Size Adjustment was made to reflect the differences in gross floor area of comparables and the Property. In general, units with smaller unit size command a higher unit rent due to larger pool of investors / end-user, and vice versa.
Quality Adjustment was made to reflect the differences in terms of quality of the unit and the building.
Provision of Frontage Adjustment was made to reflect the differences in terms of frontage and return frontage provision between comparables and the Property. Units with street frontage or return frontage command a higher unit rent given the higher visibility of the shop.
Layout Adjustment was made to reflect a difference in layout for subject unit against comparables. Retail shop with regular layout generally fetches a higher unit rent.
Floor and Accessibility Adjustment was made for upper floor retail unit within the Development against other retail units, units located on lower floors or units enjoy better accessibility with dedicated lift access would fetch a higher unit rent.

APPENDIX I

VALUATION REPORT

Upon applying the above adjustments on the selected comparables, we have derived the market rent for 22 retail units located from G/F to 5/F of the property. The adopted rents range from MOP14/sq.ft./month to MOP287/sq.ft./month, reflecting individual characteristics such as location, layout, accessibility, and frontage. A detailed summary of the adopted market rents is provided in Note 14.

3/F 16-44 14-26
4/F 39 17-19
5/F 18-39 22-24

Passing rent refers to the contracted unit rental for 17 retail units currently under existing leases. The term value is calculated by capitalizing this passing rent at the applicable term yield for the remaining lease period.

Market rent represents the adopted unit rental for all retail units upon expiry of their current leases, derived from adjusted unit rates based on comparable market analysis. For vacant units, market rent is directly capitalised at reversionary yield to determine their market value.

The arrangements are now being phased out as explained below. Annual caps: 2024: 76.0

Further details of the above transactions were set out in the section “Connected Transactions” in the prospectus of the Company dated 26 June 2008 and the announcements of the Company dated 30 December 2010, 6 January 2014, 26 January 2017, 23 December 2019 and 2 March 2023.

Since SJM Resorts has secured its own supply of chips and is no longer borrowing any STDM chips starting from 2011, the overall value of STDM chips redeemed in 2024 has declined substantially from the historical levels seen in earlier years. Furthermore, all casino chips of STDM have been withdrawn from circulation and procedures were put in place for those holding such chips to redeem them for cash or for casino chips of SJM Resorts.
