GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE SHARES AND REPURCHASE SHARES
At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 30 May 2024, ordinary resolutions were passed giving the general mandate to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with new Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue as at 30 May 2024. The purpose of the general mandate was to enable the Directors to issue additional Shares should the need arise. Ordinary resolutions will be proposed at the AGM for approval of, amongst others, the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate in order to give to the Directors new general mandates:
(i) to allot, issue and otherwise deal with new Shares with an aggregate number of Shares not exceeding 20% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the proposed resolution at the AGM; and
(ii) to repurchase Shares with an aggregate number of Shares not exceeding 10% of the aggregate number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing the proposed resolution at the AGM.
In addition, a separate ordinary resolution will also be proposed at the AGM to add to the Issue Mandate those Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate (if granted to the Directors at the AGM). The Directors have no present intention to exercise the general mandates to issue Shares and to repurchase Shares of the Company.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Listing Rules provide that, unless the Stock Exchange agrees otherwise, in the event the Issue Mandate is exercised and Shares are placed for cash consideration under the Issue Mandate, the issue price of the Shares may not be at a price which represents a discount of 20% or more to the benchmarked price of the Shares, such benchmarked price being the higher of:
(i) the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the relevant placing agreement or other agreement involving the proposed issue of securities under the Issue Mandate; and
(ii) the average closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange in the 5 trading days immediately prior to the earlier of:
(a) the date of announcement of the placing or the proposed transaction or arrangement involving the proposed issue of Shares under the Issue Mandate;
(b) the date of the placing agreement or other agreement involving the proposed issue of Shares under the Issue Mandate; and
(c) the date on which the placing or subscription or selling price is fixed.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In terms of price at which Shares may be issued at time of exercise of the Issue Mandate, the Company will comply with the then prevailing requirements under the Listing Rules.

Mr. Feng Ming Zhu will, following the conclusion of the AGM, (i) be re-designated from an executive Director to a non-executive Director; and (ii) cease to be the chairman of the Board. As a result, Mr. Feng Ming Zhu will offer himself for re-election as a non-executive Director, instead of an executive Director.

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in Appendix I and Appendix II to this circular.
By Order of the Board
Veson Holdings Limited
Feng Ming Zhu
Chairman
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This appendix includes an explanatory statement required by the Stock Exchange to be presented to Shareholders concerning the Repurchase Mandate proposed to be granted to the Directors.
- STOCK EXCHANGE RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SHARES
The Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
- FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
Any repurchase will be made out of funds which are legally available for the purpose in accordance with the Memorandum of Association and Articles and the laws of the Cayman Islands. Such repurchases may only be effected out of profits of the Company or out of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Act (As Revised), out of capital. Any premium payable on a repurchase over the par value of the Shares to be repurchased must be provided for out of profits of the Company or out of the Company's share premium account or, if so authorised by the Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Act (As Revised), out of capital.
As compared with the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024 (being the date to which the latest audited financial statements of the Company have been made up), the Directors consider that there would not be a material adverse impact on the working capital and on the gearing position of the Company in the event the proposed repurchases were to be carried out in full during the proposed repurchase period.
The Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital of the Company or the gearing position which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.
- SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,090,001,246 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolutions to approve the general mandates to issue and repurchase Shares and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the repurchase proposal to repurchase a maximum of 109,000,124 Shares.
- REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares on the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earning per Share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
5. EXERCISE OF REPURCHASE POWER
The Directors will exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Memorandum of Association and Articles.
6. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If as a result of a repurchase of Shares, 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. As a result, a Shareholder or a group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of the Shareholder's interest, could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Mr. Fang Jin, a controlling shareholder of the Company, together with his close associates, was interested in 552,338,000 Shares, representing approximately 50.67% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and on the assumption that no further Shares are issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the shareholding interest of Mr. Fang Jin, together with his close associates, would increase to approximately 56.30% of the issued share capital of the Company, and such increase is not expected to give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors, Swift Joy Holdings Limited (private company directly wholly owned by Mr. Fang Jin), a substantial shareholder of the Company was interested in 423,770,000 Shares, representing approximately 38.88% of the issued share capital of the Company. In the event the Directors exercise in full the power to repurchase Shares which is proposed to be granted pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate and on the assumption that no further Shares are issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date to the date of the AGM, the shareholding interest of Swift Joy Holdings Limited would increase to approximately 43.20% of the issued share capital of the Company, and unless a waiver is obtained from the SFC, such increase could give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
The Directors do not intend to exercise the power to repurchase Shares to an extent which would render any Shareholder or group of Shareholders obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Board will endeavour to ensure that the exercise of the Repurchase Mandate will not result in less than 25% of the Shares being held by the public.
APPENDIX I
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
7. DIRECTORS, THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
None of the Directors nor, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates has any present intention, in the event that the proposed Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company. No core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell Shares to the Company nor has he/she/it undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Company is authorised to make repurchases of Shares.
8. SHARE REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company during the previous six months and ending on the Latest Practicable Date.
9. SHARE PRICE
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange in each of the previous twelve months and up till the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| | Highest price per Share
HK$ | Lowest price per Share
HK$ |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2024 | | |
| April | 0.250 | 0.216 |
| May | 0.246 | 0.216 |
| June | 0.250 | 0.221 |
| July | 0.235 | 0.196 |
| August | 0.220 | 0.200 |
| September | 0.225 | 0.200 |
| October | 0.201 | 0.181 |
| November | 0.210 | 0.180 |
| December | 0.210 | 0.175 |
| 2025 | | |
| January | 0.190 | 0.160 |
| February | 0.222 | 0.170 |
| March | 0.210 | 0.180 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.201 | 0.115 |
10. NO UNUSUAL FEATURE
The Directors confirm neither this explanatory statement nor the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
The Company intends to cancel all the repurchased Shares following the settlement of any such repurchase.
