Such mandate is required to be given by way of a special resolution passed by shareholders in general meeting.
As H Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in HK dollars and the price payable by the Company upon any repurchase of H Shares will, therefore, be paid in HK dollars, the payment of the repurchase price is subject to the approval of SAFE or entities authorized by it.

The Company shall notify its creditors within 10 days from the date of the Company's resolution for reduction of registered capital and shall publish a press announcement of the same within 30 days of the date of such resolution.

The Company's registered capital after reduction shall not be less than the statutory minimum amount.
In order to provide more flexibility to the Directors to repurchase H Shares if and when appropriate, a special resolution will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to approve the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate to the Directors to repurchase H Shares on the Stock Exchange of not exceeding 10% of the total number of issued H Shares (excluding any Treasury Shares) as at the date of passing of such resolution.

APPENDIX V
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
The following is an explanatory statement required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with requisite information reasonably necessary for them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting in relation to the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate.
- REGISTERED CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the registered capital of the Company was RMB396,897,633, comprising 95,230,960 Unlisted Shares and 301,666,673 H Shares of RMB1.00 each.
Subject to the passing of the special resolution in respect of the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate at the Annual General Meeting and on the basis that the issued share capital of the Company remains unchanged on the date of the Annual General Meeting, i.e. being 95,230,960 Unlisted Shares and 301,666,673 H Shares, the Directors would be authorized under the Share Repurchase Mandate to repurchase, during the period in which the Share Repurchase Mandate remains in force, a total of 30,166,667 H Shares, representing 10% of the total number of H Shares in issue (excluding any Treasury Shares) as at the date of the Annual General Meeting.
- REASONS FOR SHARE REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Such repurchase may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, leads to an enhancement of the net asset value per Share and/or earnings per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
- FUNDING OF SHARE REPURCHASE
The Company may only apply funds legally available for share repurchase in accordance with its Articles of Association, the laws of the PRC and/or any other applicable laws, as the case may be.
- IMPACT OF SHARE REPURCHASE
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 consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2024 contained in the Accountants' Report in the prospectus of the Company dated 13 June 2025) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not intend 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 the gearing levels which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
- 32 -
APPENDIX V
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
The Company will cancel any repurchased Shares and/or hold the repurchased Shares as Treasury Shares based on the circumstances at the time of repurchasing the Shares (such as market conditions and its capital management needs).
5. MARKET PRICES OF H SHARES
The highest and lowest prices per Share at which the H Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during the period from 23 June 2025 (the Listing Date) up to and including the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Month | Highest HK$ | Lowest HK$ |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | ||
| June (since the Listing Date) | 30.70 | 20.20 |
| July (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 35.00 | 24.40 |
6. GENERAL
To the best of their knowledge and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) have any present intention to sell any H Shares to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Company has not been notified by any core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company that they have a present intention to sell any H Shares to the Company, or that they have undertaken not to sell any H Shares held by them to the Company in the event that the granting of the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
The Directors will exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the PRC. To the best of the knowledge of the Directors, there is nothing unusual in this Explanatory Statement and the Share Repurchase Mandate.
7. TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a repurchase of H Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase 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.
APPENDIX V
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT ON THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE
To the best knowledge of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Dr. Frank Wu was interested in 130,857,629 Shares representing approximately 32.98% of the total issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Directors exercise the proposed Share Repurchase Mandate in full, the aggregate shareholding of Dr. Frank Wu would be increased to approximately 35.68% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors consider that such increase in shareholding would give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
The Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase 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.
8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
During the 6 months prior to the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not repurchased any of the Shares (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise).
