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 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
APPENDIX I
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the proposal to permit the repurchase of Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution.
1. EXERCISE OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
Exercise in full of the Share Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 480,000,000 Shares in issue at the Latest Practicable Date, would result in up to 48,000,000 Shares (which will be fully paid and represent 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) being repurchased by the Company during the course of the period prior to the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the passing of any ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company revoking, varying or renewing the Share Repurchase Mandate.
2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share.
3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles of Association and the Companies Laws of the Cayman Islands and any applicable laws and regulations. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, repurchases will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilised in this connection, including funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase. In the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company. The Company may not repurchase securities on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of GEM prevailing from time to time.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
4. GENERAL
There might be a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose 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 on the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles of the Association and all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands in force from time to time.
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), has any present intention, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.
No core connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised. If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the interest of the Shareholder(s), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of a repurchase of Shares made under the Share Repurchase Mandate.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
The Directors are not aware of any consequence under the Takeovers Code as a result of a repurchase of Shares made under the Share Repurchase Mandate and have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as to result in takeover obligations.
Any repurchase of Shares which results in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% could only be implemented with the approval of the Stock Exchange to waive the GEM Listing Rules requirements regarding the public shareholding. However, the Directors have no current intention to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would give rise to this obligation.
