Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 16 August 2022 in relation to the Discretionary Account Agreement.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 16 August 2022, HuaGe, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Discretionary Account Agreement with the Manager, pursuant to which HuaGe has agreed to renew its appointment of the Manager and the Manager has agreed to accept such appointment to provide discretionary investment management service to HuaGe, with respect to a maximum of US$60 million worth of Investments currently held under the offshore investment account of HuaGe, and will be managed by the Manager for a further investment period of two years, subject to renewal.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) details of the Discretionary Account Agreement, (ii) the recommendation of the Directors to the Shareholders in relation to the Discretionary Account Agreement; (iii) the notice convening the EGM; and (iv) other information as required under the Listing Rules.

THE DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

Date : 16 August 2022

Parties :

(1) HuaGe: HuaGe Group Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

(2) Manager: Forshine Asset Management Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong under the Companies Ordinance with limited liability and is licensed to conduct Type 4 (advising on securities) and Type 9 (asset management) regulated activities by the Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong.

Subject matter

HuaGe has agreed to appoint the Manager and the Manager has agreed to accept such appointment in relation to the provision of discretionary investment management service by the Manager to HuaGe.

Investment amount

On 2 March 2020, HuaGe entered into the 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement I with the Manager for an investment amount of a maximum of US$60 million for an initial investment period of two years, subject to renewal. The 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement I had expired, and the Company wishes to renew its appointment of the Manager to provide investment management services with respect to a maximum of US$60 million worth of Investments currently held under the offshore investment account of HuaGe for the purpose of the Discretionary Account Agreement. According to the Company’s last published unaudited financial statements, the Company had approximately RMB669.5 million in cash and cash equivalent as of 30 June 2022. This figure had risen slightly as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Board considers that entrusting the Manager to provide investment management services with respect to a maximum of US$60 million worth of Investments is reasonable and will help diversify its investment risks.

The investment amount will be managed by the Manager with full discretionary power in accordance with the terms of the Discretionary Account Agreement.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Management of the Investments

The Manager performs the role of an “external asset manager”, whereby the Company gives the Manager the authority and power of attorney as a third party to represent them in managing an investment Portfolio and its asset allocation. The Manager has full and absolute discretionary power to identify investment products offered by large banking and financial institutions, and to conduct high frequency trading on US stocks using computerized tools, providing management services with respect to a Portfolio and making long/short investment decisions during the investment period. As such, the Discretionary Account Agreement does not involve a transfer of any funds to the Manager. Rather, the Manager would direct the Portfolio owned by HuaGe to deal in investment products offered and/or operated by large financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley, UBS, Citi etc, as well as conducting high frequency trading on US stocks using computerized tools.

The Manager will manage the Portfolio according to the investment guidelines set out in the Discretionary Account Agreement. Such guidelines include, among others, that the investment products shall relate to companies with large market capitalization, and the investment thereunder should consist of diversified industry sectors. The Portfolio mix will be restricted to (a) investment products involving varying asset classes including (i) investment funds and/or fund of funds, (ii) structured notes, and (iii) options and enhanced indexing equity, and (b) high frequency trading on US stocks (“ asset classes ”). The underlying asset of all investment products and all US stocks subject to high frequency trading activities shall primarily relate to blue-chip stocks in the stock and derivatives markets.

To ensure that the underlying investments consist of diversified industry sectors, the Manager will abide by the following criteria and measures under its investment guidelines:

  • (i) ensure diversity among the same asset class: The Investments will not only be focused in asset classes that have diverse portfolio (e.g., ETFs, fund of funds which have diversified investments etc.), the Manager will also ensure that the underlying portfolio companies are from different industries such that there will be minimal overlap among the underlying portfolio companies (e.g. invest in various ETFs/fund of funds with varying portfolio companies) within the same asset class;

  • (ii) invest in assets with lower volatility: Based on the S&P 500 Volatility Index (SPX), asset with higher volatility than SPX are considered to be high volatility assets; asset classes with lower volatility than SPX are considered to be low volatility assets. The distribution ratio between high volatility assets and low volatility assets will be maintained at a ratio of 2:8;

  • (iii) diversification of asset classes: The Manager will invest in four major asset classes identified above, within which no more than 15% of the investment amount will be applied towards high frequency trading activities using computerized tool; and

  • (iv) deconcentration of investment products: The Manager will ensure that no more than 10% of the investment amount will be applied towards one single investment product.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Manager will prepare monthly statements for HuaGe with full details of the status of all account balance and holdings. These monthly statements are issued within 10 business days of the end of each monthly accounting period. However, no monthly statement is required to be issued if no transactions have been effected in relation to the account during the month and no change has occurred in the account balance at the end of the relevant monthly accounting period. The Company will regularly review these monthly statements showing the underlying investments and closely monitor the performance of the Manager and the status of all account balances and holdings. To the extent that the Company believes the Manager is non-performing vis-à-vis prevailing financial market conditions, the Company reserves the right under the Discretionary Account Agreement to terminate the Manager’s service with 30 days’ written notice during the term of the Discretionary Account Agreement. The Company believes such arrangement will ensure sufficient monitoring of the performance of the Manager and be able to identify any deviation from the terms of the Discretionary Account Agreement on a timely basis.

The Company believes it has sufficient legal safeguards on its investment under the Discretionary Account Agreement due to the following: (i) HuaGe entered into the Discretionary Account Agreement with the Manager and the provisions in such agreement explicitly define the obligations and rights of HuaGe and the Manager, respectively, which contractual terms are the primary source of protection for HuaGe; (ii) the Manager is a company incorporated in Hong Kong under the Companies Ordinance with limited liability and is licensed to conduct Type 4 (advising on securities) and Type 9 (asset management) regulated activities by the Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong, and therefore, the governance and the operation of the transactions underlying the Discretionary Account Agreement are regulated by Hong Kong securities regulators, (iii) the Manager performs the role of an external asset manager, and at all times, the assets remain in the discretionary account owned by HuaGe and the Manager has no right to transfer funds out of such discretionary account, and (iv) the investment products underlying the Portfolio are offered and/or operated by large financial institutions such as Morgan Stanley, UBS, Citi etc., and the operation of such investment products are protected through internal control systems of these large financial institutions.

Return on Investment

There is no guaranteed return under the Investments. The expected annualized rate of return of the investment is approximately 10%, calculated with reference to the average projected rate of return (a) as stated in the investment terms of the potential pool of investment products involving varying asset classes including (i) investment funds and/or fund of funds, (ii) structured notes, and (iii) options and enhanced indexing equity, and (b) based on historical performance of the computerized tool used for high frequency trading on US stocks, all of which are to be selected and/or operated by the investment team of the Manager. The underlying asset of all investment products and all US stocks subject to high frequency trading activities shall primarily relate to blue-chip stocks in the global stock and derivatives markets. The downside risk for investment products under the Discretionary Account Agreement is when the respective underlying stocks fall below 25% to 40% of their respective market prices

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

within short time space (typically within a 6 to 12 month period). Otherwise, the subscribers to such investment products would ordinarily receive the expected annualized return. For high frequency trading activities, the algorithm provides for a mandatory cut-loss mechanism once the underlying stock falls below 10%. The expected annualized returns and the respective thresholds for cut-loss instructions of investment products and high frequency trading activities under the Discretionary Account Agreement are set forth as below:

Expected Cut-loss
Annualized Return Threshold(1)
Investment funds and/or fund of funds 10% 5%
Structured notes 10% 25%
Options and enhanced indexing equity 15% 10%
High frequency trading on US stocks 30% 10%
  • (1) Cut-loss threshold refers to the maximum potential loss in investment value under the applicable investment product as determined by the terms of such investment product and by the algorithm of the high frequency trading computerized tool, respectively. Once the relevant investment product and/or stocks subject to high frequency trading trigger the full extent of these thresholds, the Manager will evaluate its options, including considering cutting-losses and/or engage in further hedging activities to limit the Portfolio’s exposure.

Risk Control Measures

In view of the downside risk, which would happen under extreme market conditions causing significant fluctuation in share prices in the underlying portfolio companies henceforth affecting the performances of the investment products, the Manager will adopt risk control measures to cut-losses and utilize option derivatives to hedge against such risk as and where appropriate. Such measures include (i) for highly liquid assets such as stocks, the Manager will sell stocks in batches according to selling strategies and signals to reduce risk exposure; and (ii) for illiquid assets such as structured notes, the Manager will utilize a combination of call options and put options to hedge risk exposure. Please refer to the section headed “Investment Risks of the Discretionary Account Agreement” below for further details of the risk factors as well as risk control measures adopted by the Manager.

Withdrawal of Investments

HuaGe may from time to time request to withdraw any or all of the Investments from the Portfolio provided that the Manager receives prior written notice of no less than 10 business days (or such shorter period as the Manager may from time to time prescribe) specifying the amount, currency, value date and payment instructions. Subject to any instructions in the notice, the outstanding liabilities whatsoever incurred by HuaGe hereunder, the uncompleted transactions already initiated by the Manager and any Suspension Events, the Manager will arrange for, and issue appropriate instructions for the realization of such part of the Portfolio as it considers appropriate to liquidate such positions for HuaGe as soon as practicable.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Term and termination of Discretionary Account Agreement

The Discretionary Account Agreement provides for an investment period of two years, subject to renewal at the sole discretion of the Company. The agreement also provides for early termination rights by either party giving 30 days’ prior written notice to the other, subject to the completion of outstanding transactions. The Manager may terminate the Discretionary Account Agreement by immediate notice if required to do so by any regulatory authority.

Management fee

The management fee is calculated at 2.0% per annum of the market value of the Portfolio under management, subject to a management fee cap of HK$3,000,000 per annum. No separate fee will be levied by the Manager for safekeeping of assets or by any nominee appointed by the Manager, but fees, charges and expenses in connection with the custody of the Investments or other dealings of the Portfolio shall be borne by HuaGe or paid out of the Portfolio.

The management fee was determined following arms-length negotiation between HuaGe and the Manager.

INVESTMENT RISKS OF THE DISCRETIONARY ACCOUNT AGREEMENT

Key Risks underlying the Investment

The following are the major investment risks underlying the Investment:

Availability of investment products which align with the Manager’s investment strategies . The success of the investment strategies of the Portfolio depends on the ability of the Manager to identify overvalued and undervalued investment opportunities and to exploit price discrepancies in the financial markets, as well as to assess the import of news and events that may affect the financial markets. Identification and exploitation of the investment opportunities involves a high degree of uncertainty. No assurance can be given that the Manager will be able to locate suitable investment opportunities in which to deploy all of the assets of the Portfolio or to exploit discrepancies in the securities and derivatives markets. Market factors including a reduction in market liquidity or the pricing inefficiency of the markets may reduce investment opportunities for the Portfolio.

Concentration of investments . The assets of the Portfolio may at any time be heavily concentrated in a limited number of positions. In attempting to maximise returns, the holdings of the Portfolio may be concentrated in those countries, sectors, markets, asset classes, financial instruments, or issuers which, in the sole discretion of the Manager, provide the best profit opportunity in view of the investment objective. Such concentration risk would increase if certain market, economic or political environment affecting such countries, sectors, markets and issuers change drastically. The Portfolio could be subject to significant losses if it holds a large position in a particular investment that declines in value or is otherwise adversely affected.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Macro-economic and market conditions . The success of the Portfolio is affected by general economic and market conditions, such as interest rates, availability of credit, inflation rates, economic uncertainty, changes in laws, trade barriers, currency exchange controls and national and international political circumstances. These factors may affect the level and volatility of securities prices and the liquidity of the investments of the Portfolio. Volatility or illiquidity could impair the profitability of the Portfolio resulting in losses.

Other investment risks include governmental intervention, global market exposure, market disruptions, liquidity etc.

Risk Control Measures

In consideration of the potential investment risks especially given the occurrence of extreme market conditions in 2022, the Company requested the Manager, and the Manager agreed to adopt, the following enhanced risk management measures for the Discretionary Account Agreement:

  • (i) establish a risk control committee to monitor the status of positions on a daily basis. The risk control committee is supported by three functional teams: (i) investment advisors, whose duties are conducting research, providing investment advice, implementing orders and maintaining compliance with the investment protocol set out by the Manager; (ii) investment managers, whose duties are formulating investment strategies and investment spectrum; and (iii) investment committee, whose duties are evaluating investment advice proposed by the investment advisers, supervising investment execution of investment managers, and assessing and approving investment proposals. The risk control procedures are applied thoroughly from investment research to investment execution, ensuring risks of the investment activities of the Manager under the Discretionary Account Agreement are monitored, managed and controlled. Weekly meetings will be held to conduct research, analysis and review on investment activities of the Manager, to conduct risk control throughout the whole investment period and to cut losses at appropriate intervals. The Manager will keep the Company informed of, on a timely basis, any triggering of downside risks, especially where any of the cut-off thresholds identified above had been triggered, and advise the Company on remedial actions taken to hedge against such downside risks;

  • (ii) the underlying assets will be blue-chip stocks in the global stock markets. Save for high frequency trading activities, there shall be less concentration on US stocks as well as China-based US listed securities for the purpose of the Discretionary Account Agreement; and

  • (iii) investment products under the Portfolio will be diversified in types, industry sectors, investment period etc. in order to reduce the volatility of the Portfolio. The Manager shall strictly abide by the diversification measures stated in the Discretionary Account Agreement and described in detail under the section headed “The Discretionary Account Agreement – Management of the Investments” above.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Historical Performance

In 2020, HuaGe entered into two discretionary account agreements with the Manager, namely the 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement I and 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement II. The following table summarises the historical quarterly/periodic performances of such discretionary accounts on an aggregate basis:

Nominal
Annualized
(2) Gains
(and losses) (%)
Actual(1) Gains (for illustrative
Period (and losses) (%) purpose only)
2nd quarter of 2020 3.71% 14.85%
3rd quarter of 2020 3.65% 14.62%
4th quarter of 2020 2.99% 11.96%
1st quarter of 2021 0.37% 1.48%
2nd quarter of 2021 4.21% 16.85%
3rd quarter of 2021 (5.47%) (21.89%)
4th quarter of 2021 1.86% 7.43%
1st quarter of 2022 (5.33%) (21.33%)
2nd quarter of 2022 (12.92%) (51.68%)
3rd quarter of 2022 (0.22%) (0.89%)
October 2022 0.84% 10.13%

(1) Based on comparison of the aggregate asset value at quarter end against the first day of such quarter.

  • (2) Based on actual gains (and losses) for such period times a multiple of 4 (or 12, for “October 2022” figure). As the performance of the investment products under the discretionary accounts varied throughout the year, these figures are provided for illustrative purpose only.

As shown in the above chart, the Manager through its investment team had generated positive return on investments for the Portfolio in 2020 and for most parts of 2021, yet the said investments suffered losses in 2022 and the expected annualised growth target of 10% was not achieved for the first three quarters of 2022. According to the Manager, the downfall during such period was a result of the triggering of certain downside risks which had direct and indirect impact on the performance of the related investment products and the Portfolio as a whole, events of which had a resounding impact on China-based US listed companies which had been the focus of the investments under the 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement I and 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement II. In particular:

  • 3[rd] quarter of 2021: marked by the beginning of geopolitical tensions and the rising threat of delisting risk to China-based US listed companies caused significant fluctuation in several asset classes. By way of comparison, the KraneShares CSI China Internet Index (“ KWEB ”), a large-scale ETF which consists of and tracks the performance of China-based companies whose primary business or businesses are focused on internet and internet-related technology, dropped 32.19% during the 3[rd] quarter of 2021.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • 1[st] , 2[nd] and early parts of the 3[rd] quarter of 2022: marked by the rapid downturn and unfavorable investment environment as a result of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Federal Reserve of the United States tightening its monetary policy, the sharp increase in interest rates, global supply chain issues and the resulting overall poor performance of the global financial investment markets, causing a sharp decline in China-based US stock prices. By way of comparison, the Invesco QQQ ETF, a large-scale ETF which consists of and tracks the performance of the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq based on market cap, dropped 8.88%, 22.69% and 4.65% for the first three quarters of 2022, respectively. The SPY ETF, a large-scale ETF which consists of and tracks the performance of the S&P 500 index, dropped 4.91%, 16.47% and 5.32% for the first three quarters of 2022, respectively. The KWEB dropped 21.87% and 24.79% for the 1[st] and 3[rd] quarter of 2022, respectively.

As a result, despite the risk control measures and the continued monitoring and alteration of investment strategies, the Portfolio suffered losses towards the later stages of the 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement I and 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement II due to aforementioned extreme market conditions which continued to breach the downside risk of certain investment products. Whilst the risk control measures adopted had been effective in reducing the overall losses, it was unable to avoid losses under such extreme market conditions.

The following is a summary of the key differences between the terms and features of the Discretionary Account Agreement and the 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement I/2020 Discretionary Account Agreement II:

Discretionary Account Agreement

2020 Discretionary Account Agreement I / II

Scope of investments

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Previous Cooperative Experience with the Manager

In 2020, HuaGe entered into two discretionary account agreements with the Manager. Details of the historical discretionary account agreements are set forth as below:

2020 Discretionary Account 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement I Agreement II Signing Date 2 March 2020 3 September 2020 Effective Date 2 March 2020 24 November 2020[(1)] Investment Amount US$60 million US$87 million

  • Management Fee The management fee is 2.0% per annum of the market value of the assets under management, subject to a management fee cap of HK$3,000,000 per annum.

  • Current Status The agreements have been terminated as the respective investment periods had expired. The Company is currently holding the Portfolio in the form of long and short positions in the investment products constituting the Portfolio, which are not subject to investment management by any investment managers.

Aggregate Investment Return[(2)] as of:

(i) 31 December 2020 8.35% (ii) 30 June 2021 9.18% (iii) 31 December 2021 5.33%

  • (iii) 31 December 2021

(iv) 30 June 2022

-15.33%[(3)]

  • (v) 31 October 2022[(4)] -18.24%[(3)]

Notes:

  • (1) The effective date of the 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement II is the date on which the agreement was approved by the Shareholders at the extraordinary general meeting.

  • (2) As disclosed in the circular of the Company dated 29 October 2020, the Company was satisfied with the return on its investment under the Discretionary Account Agreement I. Therefore, the Company continued to entrust upon the Manager and entered into the Discretionary Account Agreement II. The respective investment amounts underlying the two agreements were combined to constitute the Portfolio and hence the investment returns are aggregated.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (3) The Portfolio suffered losses towards the later stages of the term of the 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement I and 2020 Discretionary Account Agreement II due to occurrence of certain extreme market conditions. For details, please refer to the paragraph headed “Investment Risks of the Discretionary Account Agreement – Historical Performance” above.

  • (4) 31 October 2022 figures are the latest month-end figures available as of the Latest Practicable Date.

The management service provided by the Manager had generated optimal returns to the Company, save for the 9 months preceding the date of this circular due to the rapid downturn and unfavorable investment environment as a result of the Federal Reserve of the United States tightening its monetary policy, the Russian-Ukrainian war and the resulting geopolitical tensions, the rising threat of delisting of China-based US listed companies, and the overall poor performance of the global financial investment markets. The Directors believe that, despite the afore-mentioned unforeseen circumstances which had a negative impact on the performance of the previous discretionary accounts under the management of the Manager and subject to the health of the global investment market condition in the long term, together with the enhanced risk control measures adopted by the Manager for the purpose of the Discretionary Account Agreement, the Manager will provide reasonable investment management service and bring moderate returns to the Portfolio.

The Directors consider that the Discretionary Account Agreement was entered into on normal commercial terms, and the terms of the Discretionary Account Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Company is principally engaged in the operation of live social video platforms and other services in the PRC. Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 all over the world, the macro-economy and various industries have been impacted with varying degree of severity and the global economy has experienced a certain degree of decline. Meanwhile, the fierce competition and strict supervision in the mobile Internet industry in the PRC continued to pose challenges to the business development of the Group. However, on the other hand, the quarantine measures during the pandemic resulted in the rise of “Stay-at-Home Economic”, which contributed new user traffic to the Internet industry. The application of emerging technologies such as 5G has also brought development opportunities to the live streaming industry.

The Group plans to utilize the industry opportunities brought by 5G technology, continue to adhere to its core business, optimize its user platform, create more diversified content and pay close attention to new trends in the development of online platforms such as live e-commerce. At the same time, the Group will further deepen its layout in overseas markets, replicate its successful business model in China to Southeast Asia and other regions, expand its international market share and promote the Group to enter a new stage of international development as soon as possible, so as to create sustainable returns for Shareholders.
