Renco Holdings Group Limited (“Renco Holdings”), is deemed to be interested in 130,212,675 Shares, being the aggregate of the 41,666,666 Shares of Hong Kong Bridge Investments Limited (its wholly owned subsidiary), 64,148,063 Shares of HKBridge Absolute Return Fund, L.P. (a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, the general partner of which is HK Bridge (Cayman) GP2 Limited, a Cayman Islands company indirectly owned by Renco Holdings) and 24,397,946 Shares of On Top Global Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong Bridge High-Tech Investment Fund L.P., the general partner of which is Hong Kong Bridge High-Tech Investment G.P.

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND THE SUBSCRIBER

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in the provision of engineering related services, equipment installation, support and maintenance services for robotics and automation systems.

To the best knowledge of the Company, the Subscriber is an investment holding company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and wholly owned by Mr. Su Zhituan. Mr. Su is the former executive Director of our Company and former chairman of the Board. Mr. Su is also the ultimate beneficial owner of Tai Dong New Energy Holding Limited, a substantial shareholder of the Company. Therefore, the Subscriber is a connected person of the Company under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION AND DEBT CAPITALISATION

According to the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$29.90 million and a loss for the year of approximately HK$21.91 million. The Group also had approximately HK$14.04 million in cash and cash equivalents and total liabilities of HK$188.28 million including current and non-current other borrowings of approximately HK$147.0 million.

In view of the financial position of the Group, the Group is not in a position to repay the amounts due to the Subscriber without restricting its existing financial resources and affecting its operational budget. The Directors have considered other alternative means for fund raising to settle the Outstanding Sum, such as bank borrowings, private placements or rights issue. However, taking into account that:

(i) debt financing and bank borrowing will further increase the gearing ratio of the Group and lenders generally require collateral from the borrower;

— 7 —


(ii) other equity financing alternative such as placing of new shares and rights issue usually require attractive discounts to the prevailing market price of the Shares and is relatively more time consuming and less cost effective as compared to Debt Capitalisation; and

(iii) the Debt Capitalisation would allow the Group to reduce its indebtedness without utilising existing financial resources and avoid incurring cash outflow,

the Directors consider that the Subscription and Debt Capitalisation is a more desirable solution for the Group to repay the Outstanding Sums to the Subscriber and strengthen the financial position of the Group.

Although the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares will have an immediate dilution effect on the existing Shareholders, in view of the above, the Directors (other than the independent non-executive Directors, who shall provide their views after considering the advice from the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable based on the current market conditions and are on normal commercial terms, accordingly, the Subscription is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
