Pursuant to Bye-law 87 of the Bye-laws, at each annual general meeting, 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 by rotation at least once every three years. The Director(s) to retire by rotation shall be the person(s) who has/have been longest in office since his/her/their last re-election or appointment. As between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day, the person(s) to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot.

According to Bye-law 87 of the Bye-laws, Mr. Wong Cheuk On, James and Mr. Chan Bing Woon, SBS, JP shall retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and being eligible, may offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

Mr. Wong Cheuk On, James will offer himself for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

According to Bye-law 86(2) of the Bye-laws, Ms. Cheung Ka Wan (who was appointed as an independent non-executive Director with effect from 1 December 2024 by the Board on 27 November 2024) shall hold office only until the Annual General Meeting and shall then be eligible for re-election at that meeting. Ms. Cheung Ka Wan, being eligible, will offer herself for re-election at the Annual General Meeting.

The Nomination Committee has reviewed the structure and composition of the Board, the confirmations and disclosures given by the Directors, the qualifications, skills and experience, time commitment and contribution of the retiring Directors with reference to the nomination principles and criteria set out in the Company's Board Diversity Policy and Director Nomination Policy and the Company's corporate strategy, and the independence of all independent non-executive Directors. The Nomination Committee has recommended to the Board on re-election of all the retiring Directors at the Annual General Meeting.

Pursuant to Rule 13.74 of the Listing Rules, a listed issuer shall disclose the details required under Rule 13.51(2) of the Listing Rules of any director(s) proposed to be re-elected or proposed new director in the notice or accompanying circular to its shareholders of the relevant general meeting, if such re-election or appointment is subject to shareholders' approval at that relevant general meeting.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. PROPOSED GRANTING OF THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE AND THE ISSUANCE MANDATE

At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 22 August 2024, general mandates were given to the Directors to exercise the powers of the Company to buy back Shares and to issue new Shares respectively. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, such mandates have not been used and, if not used by the date of the Annual General Meeting, will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting.

Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of new general mandates to the Directors:

(a) to buy back Shares on the Stock Exchange of not exceeding 10% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of such resolution (i.e. a total of 47,677,684 Shares on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the Annual General Meeting) (the "Share Buy-Back Mandate");

(b) to allot, issue or deal with new Shares of not exceeding 20% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the date of passing of such resolution (i.e. a total of 95,355,368 Shares on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged as at the date of the Annual General Meeting) (the "Issuance Mandate"); and

(c) to extend the Issuance Mandate by adding the number of the Shares bought back by the Company pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate.

The Share Buy-Back Mandate and the Issuance Mandate will continue in force until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company held after the Annual General Meeting or any earlier date as referred to in the proposed ordinary resolutions contained in items 9 and 10 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting as set out on pages 14 to 18 of this circular. With reference to the Share Buy-Back Mandate and the Issuance Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plan to buy back any Shares or issue any new Shares pursuant thereto.

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all the information reasonably necessary to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the granting of the Share Buy-Back Mandate. The explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules in connection with the Share Buy-Back Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to be sent to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Buy-Back Mandate.

1. REASONS FOR SHARE BUY-BACK

The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Buy-Back Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Share buy-back may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share. The Directors are seeking the granting of the Share Buy-Back Mandate to give the Company the flexibility to do so if and when appropriate. The number of Shares to be repurchased on any occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased will be decided by the Directors at the relevant time, having regard to the circumstances then pertaining.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 476,776,842 Shares.

Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 9 of the notice of the Annual General Meeting in respect of the granting of the Share Buy-Back Mandate and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Directors would be authorised under the Share Buy-Back Mandate to buy back a total of 47,677,684 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of the Shares in issue as at the date of the Annual General Meeting, during the period in which the Share Buy-Back Mandate remains in force.

3. FUNDING OF SHARE BUY-BACK

The Company may only apply funds legally available for share buy-back in accordance with its Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws, the laws of Bermuda and/or any other applicable laws.

The Company is empowered by its Memorandum of Association and Bye-laws to buy back Shares. The laws of Bermuda provide that the amount of capital paid in connection with a share buy-back by a company may only be paid out of either the capital paid up on the relevant shares, or the funds of the company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or the proceeds of a fresh issue of shares made for such purpose. The amount of premium payable on share buy-back may only be paid 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.

• 10 -

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

4. IMPACT OF SHARE BUY-BACK

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 accounts contained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2025) in the event that the Share Buy-Back Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed buy-back period. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Share Buy-Back Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

5. TAKEOVERS CODE

If as a result of a buy-back of Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition of voting rights for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, 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 Shareholder’s interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and thereby become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

To the best knowledge of the Company, the shareholdings of the substantial shareholders and directors in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and immediately upon the exercise of the Share Buy-Back Mandate in full were and will be as follows:

	As at Latest Practicable Date		Immediately upon exercise of Share Buy-Back Mandate in full
	Number of Shares	Approximate %	Number of Shares	Approximate %
Basic Faith (Note 1)	241,535,555	50.66%	241,535,555	56.29%
Mr. Wong Leung Pak, Matthew, SBS (Note 2)	599,665	0.13%	599,665	0.14%
Mr. Wong Cheuk On, James (Note 3)	3,585,611	0.75%	3,585,611	0.84%
Mr. Lo Man Po (Note 4)	2,297,130	0.48%	2,297,130	0.54%
Cathay International Corporation	109,558,768	22.98%	109,558,768	25.53%
Public Shareholders	119,200,113	25.00%	71,522,429	16.67%
	476,776,842	100.00%	429,099,158	100.00%

---

APPENDIX II EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE BUY-BACK MANDATE

Notes:

1. Mr. Wong Leung Pak, Matthew, SBS is a director and the ultimate beneficial owner of Basic Faith and is therefore deemed to be interested in 241,535,555 Shares held by Basic Faith.
2. These 599,665 Shares were held by Mr. Wong Leung Pak, Matthew, SBS and his spouse, Ms. Ng Lai Yee, Christina jointly.
3. Mr. Wong Cheuk On, James is the son of Mr. Wong Leung Pak, Matthew, SBS and an executive Director.
4. Mr. Lo Man Po is the son-in-law of Mr. Wong Leung Pak, Matthew, SBS and an executive Director.

The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. However, the exercise in full of the Share Buy-Back Mandate will result in the number of shares in the public hands being reduced to less than 25% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Buy-Back Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code and/or result in the aggregate number of Shares held by the public shareholders falling below the prescribed minimum percentage required by the Stock Exchange.

1. GENERAL

None of the Directors or, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates have any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-Back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Buy-Back Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.

The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to buy back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the laws of Bermuda. If the Company buys back Shares pursuant to the Share Buy-Back Mandate, the Company will cancel the buy-back Shares following settlement of any such buy-back. The Directors confirm that neither this explanatory statement nor the proposed share buy back has any unusual features.
