CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

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 companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with (a) the 2025 AGM Notice and (b) information regarding (i) the grant of the Issue Mandate and Repurchase Mandate; (ii) the extension of the Issue Mandate to include the Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate; (iii) the re-election of Directors; and (iv) the proposed adoption of the New Memorandum and Articles of Association.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ISSUE MANDATE

The Issue Mandate granted to the Directors at the 2024 AGM will lapse at the conclusion of the 2025 AGM. Accordingly, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2025 AGM to grant to the Directors the Issue Mandate. The Shares which may be issued and allotted pursuant to the Issue Mandate is limited to a maximum of 20% of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution approving the Issue Mandate. On the basis that 800,000,000 Shares are in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the 2025 AGM, exercise in full of the Issue Mandate (without being extended by the number of Shares (if any) repurchased by the Company under the Repurchase Mandate) could result in up to 160,000,000 Shares being issued and allotted by the Company.

REPURCHASE MANDATE

The Repurchase Mandate granted to the Directors at the 2024 AGM will lapse at the conclusion of the 2025 AGM. Accordingly, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2025 AGM to grant to the Directors the Repurchase Mandate, details of which are set out in ordinary resolution numbered 9 of the 2025 AGM Notice. The Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate is limited to a maximum of 10% of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate. On the basis that 800,000,000 Shares are in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the 2025 AGM, the Company would be allowed to repurchase a maximum of 80,000,000 Shares.

An explanatory statement as required under the GEM Listing Rules, in particular Rule 13.08, giving certain information regarding the Repurchase Mandate, is set out in the Appendix I hereto.

EXTENSION OF THE ISSUE MANDATE

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions to grant the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2025 AGM to extend the Issue Mandate by the addition to the aggregate number of the Shares which may be allotted or agreed conditionally or unconditionally to be allotted by the Directors pursuant to such general mandate of an amount representing the aggregate number of the Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate provided that such extended amount shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate number of the issued Shares as at the date of passing the resolution in relation thereto.

RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board comprised Mr. LS Chua, Mr. LC Chua, Mr. WH Chua and Mr. WJ Chua as executive Directors; and Mr. Tog Chek Soon ("Mr. Tog"), Mr. Ng Boon Cheow Freddie and Ms. Lye Kheng Joke Sylvia ("Ms. Lye") as INEDs.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to Article 108(a) of the Articles, one-third of the Directors for the time being (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement at an annual general meeting of the Company at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. Accordingly, Mr. WH Chua, Mr. WJ Chua, Mr. Tog and Ms. Lye will retire from office by rotation and being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the 2025 AGM.

The Nomination Committee had assessed and reviewed each of the INEDs' written confirmation of independence based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules and confirmed that all INEDs including, Mr. Tog and Ms. Lye remain independent. The Nomination Committee also evaluated the performance of each of Mr. WH Chua, Mr. WJ Chua, Mr. Tog and Ms. Lye during the Year based on the nomination policy of the Company disclosed in the Annual Report and considered that their respective experiences, skills, working profiles and other perspectives as set out in Appendix II to this circular can bring further contributions to the Board and its diversity. Upon the nomination by the Nomination Committee, the Board has recommended Mr. WH Chua, Mr. WJ Chua, Mr. Tog and Ms. Lye to stand for re-election as Directors at the 2025 AGM. For good corporate governance, each of the retiring Directors abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on the respective propositions of their recommendations for re-election by the Shareholders. The Board believes that the continuous appointment of the retiring Directors contributes to the stability and diversity of the Board.

The particulars required to be disclosed under the GEM Listing Rules in relation to the retiring Directors proposed for re-election are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE NEW MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Board proposes to amend the Existing Articles of Association for the purpose of conforming with certain amendments to GEM Listing Rules, and adopt a New Memorandum and Articles of Association in substitution of the existing one.

The major Proposed Amendments are summarised below:

  1. Enhancements to General Meeting Provisions: Provisions enabling the Company to hold physical, electronic or hybrid general meetings, with rules governing electronic participation and ensuring proper conduct of meetings and voting in line with the core shareholder protection standards set out in Appendix A1 to GEM Listing Rules.
  2. Facilitation of Electronic Instructions from Shareholders: Provisions enabling Shareholders to send meeting instructions, such as proxy-related instructions, electronically to the Company.

  3. 7 -


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Facilitation of Electronic Communication: Provisions enabling any notice or document of the Company to be given or issued by means of electronic communication or publication on the websites of the Company or the Stock Exchange, subject to applicable regulations. Provisions were also made for electronic voting and communication during meetings.

  2. Treasury shares: Expressly allowing the Company to hold any repurchased, redeemed, or surrendered shares as treasury shares or otherwise deal with treasury shares in accordance with the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and GEM Listing Rules, and hence providing greater flexibility for the Company to manage its share capital.

  3. Housekeeping amendments: Necessary and consequential updates to align the Articles of Association with applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and GEM Listing Rules, including improved wording and structure for better clarity and consistency.

The Company's legal adviser as to Hong Kong law has confirmed that the Proposed Amendments are not inconsistent with the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules and the legal advisor as to Cayman Islands laws has confirmed that the Proposed Amendments do not contravene or violate the laws of Cayman Islands. The Company also confirms that there is nothing unusual about the proposed amendments for a company listed in Hong Kong.

The Board proposed to implement the Proposed Amendments by way of adoption of the New Memorandum and Articles of Association, which will be subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the 2025 AGM and will become effective upon such approval.

The Shareholders are advised that the New Memorandum and Articles of Association are drafted in English and that there is no official Chinese translation of them. The Chinese translation of the New Memorandum and Articles of Association is provided for reference only. In the event of any inconsistency between the English version and the Chinese version, the English version shall prevail.

For details of the Proposed Amendments, please refer to Appendix III to this circular.

Completion and return of a form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the 2025 AGM or any adjournment thereof if you so wish, in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

For determining the Shareholders' entitlement to attend and vote at the 2025 AGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 3 February 2026 to Friday, 8 February 2026 (both dates inclusive), during which period no transfer of Shares will be effected.

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required pursuant to Rule 13.08 and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules, to provide you with the requisite information for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.

1. EXERCISE OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE

On the basis that 800,000,000 Shares are in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and no further Shares are issued or repurchased prior to the 2025 AGM, exercise in full of the Repurchase Mandate could result in up to 80,000,000 Shares being repurchased by the Company during the period from the passing of resolution numbered 9 set out in the 2025 AGM Notice up to (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by Shareholders in general meeting revoking or varying the authority given to the Directors by this resolution, whichever occurs first.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE

The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Repurchases of the Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per share.

3. FUNDING AND EFFECT OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Company's memorandum of association, the Articles, the Companies Law and other applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. A listed company may not repurchase its own securities on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange. Under the Companies Law, repurchases by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose, or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.

Any premium payable on a redemption or purchase over the par value of the Shares to be purchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account, or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Law, out of capital.

Taking into account the current working capital position of the Company, the Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, it might have a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 30 September 2025, being the date of its latest published audited financial statements. However, the Directors do not intend to make any repurchases to such an


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

4. UNDERTAKING OF DIRECTORS

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.

5. INTENTION TO SELL SHARES

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, their respective close associates, has any present intention, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders at the 2025 AGM, to sell any of the Shares to the Company.

6. TAKEOVERS CODE CONSEQUENCE

If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make the Mandatory General Offer.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the register required to be kept by the Company pursuant to section 336 of the SFO and so far as was known to, or could be ascertained after reasonable enquiry by the Directors, the following Shareholders were interested or deemed to be interested in 5% or more of the issued Shares:

Name Capacity Nature of interests Number of Shares held (Note 1) Percentage of the total issued Shares (%) Percentage of shareholding if Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full (%)
YJH Group Limited (Note 2) Beneficial owner Personal interest 576,000,000 (L) 69 77

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Name Capacity Nature of interests Number of Shares held (Note 1) Percentage of the total issued Shares (%) Percentage of shareholding if Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full (%)
Mr. LS Chua (Note 2) A concert party to an agreement to buy shares described in s.317(1)(a) of the SFO Corporate interest 576,000,000 (L) 69 77
Mr. LC Chua (Note 2) A concert party to an agreement to buy shares described in s.317(1)(a) of the SFO Corporate interest 576,000,000 (L) 69 77

Notes:
1. The letter “L” denotes a person’s “long position” (as defined under Part XV of the SFO) in such Shares.
2. YJH Group Limited is owned as to approximately 82.76% by Mr. LS Chua and 17.24% by Mr. LC Chua. Mr. LS Chua and Mr. LC Chua were signatories of a concert parties agreement dated 11 October 2017. As such, they were deemed as controlling YJH Group Limited as a group and were deemed to have interests in the Shares held by YJH Group Limited respectively. For details, see “History, Reorganisation and Corporate Structure — Concert parties arrangement” in the prospectus of the Company dated 27 March 2018.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. LS Chua and Mr. LC Chua (collectively “Concert Parties”) through YJH Group Limited, a company wholly controlled by the Concert Parties, were beneficially interested in 576,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 69% of the issued Shares. In the event that the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares under the Repurchase Mandate, the interest of the Controlling Shareholders would be increased to approximately 77% of the issued Shares and such increase will not give rise to any obligation to make the Mandatory General Offer. Accordingly, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchase of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.

In the opinion of the Directors, assuming that there is no issue of further Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of repurchase, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in whole or in part will result in the number of Shares which are in the hands of the public falling below 25% of the total number of Shares in issue (or such other percentage as may be prescribed as the minimum public shareholding under the GEM Listing Rules). The Directors confirm that the Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to the extent as may result in the number of Shares held by public being reduced to less than 25% of the total number of Shares in issue.


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

7. SHARE PURCHASED BY THE COMPANY

8. CORE CONNECTED PERSON

No core connected person has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, nor has undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the 2025 AGM.

9. SHARE PRICES
