The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in relation to the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting for the grant of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate and the re-election of retiring Directors and to give you the notice of the Annual General Meeting.
GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES
The Company's existing mandates to issue and repurchase Shares were approved by its then Shareholder on 21 June 2024. Unless otherwise renewed, the existing mandates to issue and repurchase Shares will lapse at the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting. It was therefore proposed that ordinary resolutions be proposed at the Annual General Meeting to grant to the Directors the Issue Mandate which shall not exceed 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue at the date of passing the relevant resolution and the Repurchase Mandate which shall not exceed 10% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue at the date of passing the relevant resolution.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 1,409,523,810 Shares were in issue. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolutions, the Company will be allowed to allot and issue up to a maximum of 281,904,762 new Shares, being 20% of the number of issued Shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and repurchase a maximum of 140,952,381 Shares, being 10% of the number of issued Shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date on the assumption that there will be no change in the number of the issued share capital prior to the Annual General Meeting.
Subject to the relevant resolutions being passed at the Annual General Meeting, the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate shall be valid from the date of passing the resolutions until whichever is the earliest of:
(a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or
(b) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or any applicable laws in the Cayman Islands to be held; or
(c) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting revoking, varying or renewing the authority given to the Directors.
Under the Listing Rules, the Company is required to send to the Shareholders an explanatory statement containing all information which is reasonably necessary to enable the Shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether to vote for or against the resolution to approve the grant to the Directors of the Repurchase Mandate.

APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by Rule 10.06(1)(b) of 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 in relation to the Repurchase Mandate.
1. REPURCHASE OF SHARES FROM CONNECTED PARTIES
The Listing Rules prohibit a company from knowingly purchasing shares on the Stock Exchange from a "connected person", (as defined in the Listing Rules) and a connected person is prohibited from knowingly selling his/her/its securities to the company.
No connected person (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company nor has any such connected person undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 1,409,523,810 shares were in issue and fully paid. Subject to the passing of the proposed resolution for the approval of the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased by the Company prior to the Annual General Meeting, the Company will be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase a maximum of 140,952,381 Shares, representing 10% of the total number of the issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date during the period up to (i) the conclusion of the next Annual General Meeting; 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 any applicable law of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.
3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE
The Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets 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 as a whole.
4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilized in this connection, including profits of the Company or out of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if authorized by the Articles of Association and subject to the Companies Law, out of the capital of the Company and, in the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, subject to the Companies Law, out of capital of the Company.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
5. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION
An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full could have a material adverse impact on the working capital and gearing position of the Group compared with that as at 31 December 2024, being the date of its latest published audited consolidated accounts. The Directors do not, however, intend to make any repurchase in circumstances that would have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Group.
6. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the previous twelve months before the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| | Highest
HK$ | Lowest
HK$ |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2024 | | |
| April | 0.175 | 0.099 |
| May | 0.230 | 0.113 |
| June | 0.189 | 0.149 |
| July | 0.161 | 0.112 |
| August | 0.133 | 0.099 |

| October | 0.159 | 0.045 |
| November | 0.074 | 0.051 |
| December | 0.074 | 0.055 |

| March | 0.079 | 0.048 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.052 | 0.043 |
7. DIRECTORS' UNDERTAKING
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Articles of Association and all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Neither the explanatory statement on the Repurchase Mandate nor the proposed Share repurchase has any unusual features.
8. DIRECTORS AND THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquires, any of their close associates, has any present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
No core connected person 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 in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of the Shares.
9. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of the repurchase by the Company, a shareholder's proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, a shareholder, or group of shareholders acting in concert, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company or become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date prior to printing of this circular, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, the following parties were directly or indirectly interested in 5% or more of the issued share capital of the Company:
| Name | Number of shares | Shareholding percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Harvest Land Company Limited (Note 1) | 519,720,000 | 36.87% |
| Mr. Yeung Wing Sun (Note 2) | 519,720,000 | 36.87% |
| Ms. Yu So Yin (Note 3) | 519,720,000 | 36.87% |
| Mr. Yu Kei Ki | 197,620,635 | 14.02% |
| Ms. Yui Cheung Yung | 100,960,000 | 7.16% |
| Mr. Leung Yuen Keung (Note 4) | 100,960,000 | 7.16% |
Notes:
- Harvest Land Company Limited is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and wholly-owned by Mr. Yeung Wing Sun.
- By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Yeung Wing Sun is deemed to be interested in the same number of Shares held by Harvest Land Company Limited.
- Ms. Yu So Yin is the spouse of Mr. Yeung Wing Sun. Under the SFO, Ms. Yu So Yin is deemed to be interested in the same number of Shares in which Mr. Yeung Wing Sun is interested.
- Mr. Leung Yuen Keung is the spouse of Ms. Yui Cheung Yung. Under the SFO, Mr. Leung Yuen Keung is deemed to be interested in the same number of Shares in which Ms. Yui Cheung Yung is interested.
In the event that the Directors should exercise in full the power to repurchase shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the resolution to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting, the shareholding of Harvest Land Company Limited, Mr. Yu Kei Ki and Ms. Yui Cheung Yung in the Company would be increased from 58.05% to approximately 64.50% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Directors are not aware of any consequences which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of such purchase made under the Repurchase Mandate. The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate if the repurchase will result in the number of shares which are in the hands of the public being reduced to less than 25%.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
10. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
11. STATUS OF REPURCHASED SHARES
The listing of all Shares which are repurchased by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) shall be automatically cancelled upon repurchase. The Company shall ensure that the documents of title of the repurchased Shares are cancelled and destroyed as soon as reasonably practicable following settlement of any such repurchase.

APPENDIX II
DETAILS OF DIRECTORS PROPOSED TO BE RE-ELECTED AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
The details of the Directors who will retire from office by rotation at the Annual General Meeting and being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the Annual General Meeting, are set out below:
Mr. Chan Leung (陳亮先生) (“Mr. Chan”), aged 62, was appointed as an executive Director on 25 March 2019. He also serves as the chairman and chief executive officer of our Group. He is primarily responsible for the supervision of operation of our Group. He was approved by the Buildings Department to be an Authorised Signatory for HDC as a Registered General Building Contractor in November 2013 and to become a Technical Director of HDC in January 2016. He is also a director of HDC.
Mr. Chan has over 25 years of experience in the construction industry. Mr. Chan joined our Group as Authorised Signatory in November 2013 and has been promoted to act as a director of HDC in September 2014. Before joining our Group, Mr. Chan joined Tom Ip & Partners, Architects, Engineers & Development Consultants Limited as a clerk of works in May 1987 and left as an assistant project officer in March 1990. Mr. Chan was a clerk of works of Simon Kwan & Associates Limited from April 1990 to March 1991.
Mr. Chan then worked as a clerk of works in Chows Architects Limited from November 1991 to February 1996, in Alex Wong & Partners Limited from March 1996 to November 1996, in Chows Architects Limited from December 1996 to August 1998 and in Cheung Kong (Holdings) Limited from September 1998 to January 1999. He joined Vigers Building Consultancy Limited as a clerk of works in February 1999 and left as a senior project manager in March 2008. He was a director of Ymt Engineering Company Limited from March 2016 to March 2019 and Yso Engineering Company Limited from January 2013 to November 2019, respectively.
Mr. Chan is currently a director of Ho Ding Engineering Co. Limited and Yso Engineering (Building) Company Limited. Ho Ding Engineering Co. Limited principally engages in timber formworks and metal moulding. Yso Engineering (Building) Company Limited principally engages in interior repair and maintenance works. Having considered the differences in (i) principal business activities; (ii) combination of major customers and suppliers; (iii) operational scale; and (iv) licence and registration, these companies do not, directly or indirectly, compete with the business of our Group. In particular, Yso Engineering (Building) Company Limited focuses on small-scale interior repair and maintenance works for individual units while our Group's RMAA works mainly involve the upkeep, restoration and improvement of existing buildings and facilities as a whole and we occasionally provide additional ancillary services in the common areas of those existing buildings. Mr. Chan confirms that he plays a passive role and has little involvement of daily management in these companies as the day-to-day management and business operations of these companies are managed by his business partners. Therefore, our Directors consider that Mr. Chan has been and will be able to devote sufficient time to discharge his duties and responsibilities as an executive Director.
