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

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX II
The following is an explanatory statement required by the GEM Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.
1. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 200,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution no. 9 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 200,000,000 Shares, the Directors would be authorised under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total of 20,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
2. REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders.
Repurchase of Shares may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
3. FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASE
The Company may only apply funds legally available for share repurchase in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of the Cayman Islands and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
4. IMPACT OF SHARE REPURCHASE
There may be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2022) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
APPENDIX II
In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate (if the shareholdings of the above shareholders and the capital structure of the Company otherwise remain the same), the aggregate shareholding of the above shareholders would be increased to approximately 55.71% of the issued share capital of the Company, as shown in the last column of the above table. Such increase in shareholding would not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.
The Directors do not propose or intend to repurchase shares which could result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% of the total issued Shares.
