REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company is an investment company listed on the Stock Exchange under Chapter 21 of the Listing Rules, and it devotes to capture valuable investment opportunities in order to enhance the Company s profitability and create value for Shareholders.

The Board is of the view that the fund raised from the Subscription enables the Group to capture one or more of these potential investment opportunities and enhance the profitability of the Company. In addition, the Subscription can enhance the capital and shareholders base of the Company for long-term development and further strengthen its financial position.
