According to RHL Appraisal Limited, the Leased Assets are valued at RMB79.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$86.5 million) as at 30 April 2025.

The total lease payment is approximately (i) RMB53.8 million (equivalent to approximately HK$58.4 million) in respect of the Sale and Leaseback Agreement I; and (ii) RMB21.5 million (equivalent to approximately HK$23.3 million) in respect of the Sale and Leaseback Agreement II, including the finance lease payment and the retention fee of RMB100.0 (equivalent to approximately HK$108.5), which was determined after arm's length negotiations with reference to the sale price of the Leased Assets and the prevailing market interest rates (noting that the above 5-year National Interbank Funding Centre's Loan Prime Rate (LPR) was 3.5%) and trading terms of similar finance lease arrangements.

After the Sale and Leaseback Agreements becoming effective, Haier shall have the rights to make adjustments to the lease payment in accordance with the adjustments of the loan prime rate published by the People's Bank of China. The actual lease payment amount shall be confirmed in the actual lease payment schedule (實際租金支付表) and the lease adjustment notice (租金調整通知書) issued by Haier.

Security Deposit

The total security deposit payable under the Sale and Leaseback Agreement I and the Sale and Leaseback Agreement II is RMB1.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1.1 million) and RMB0.4 million (equivalent to approximately HK$0.4 million) respectively.

For each of the Sale and Leaseback Agreements, the respective security deposit shall be deducted from the sale price payable to the Co-Lessees.

  • 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Haier shall have the rights to use the security deposit to set off any amount due and payable by the Co-Lessees under the Sale and Leaseback Agreements and the Co-Lessees shall top up the security deposit to its original amount in such cases.

Each security deposit shall be used to set off the final portion(s) of the lease payment and the retention fee to be made by the Co-Lessees provided that there are no default events or the default events have been rectified. Haier shall return any remaining balance of the security deposit free of interests to the Co-Lessees.

Ownership of the Leased Assets

The ownership of the Leased Assets shall be transferred to Haier upon issuance of a checking and acceptance confirmation letter for the respective Leased Assets by the Co-Lessees.

Upon expiration of the lease term, provided that there are no continuing default events, and subject to the receipt of all lease payments and other receivables under the Sale and Leaseback Agreements, Haier shall transfer the ownership of the Leased Assets to the Co-Lessees on an "as-is" basis.

Effectiveness of the Sale and Leaseback Agreements

The Sale and Leaseback Agreements shall come into effect upon the fulfilment of the following conditions:

(i) Haier having received the original resolution(s) or other similar documents issued by the internal authority(ies) of the Co-Lessees consenting to the transactions contemplated under the respective Sale and Leaseback Agreements;

(ii) Haier having received the original resolution(s) issued by the internal authority(ies) of the corporate guarantor(s) consenting to provide guarantee(s) for the Co-Lessees' performance under the respective Sale and Leaseback Agreements;

(iii) Hongjin having entered into the corporate guarantee agreements with Haier corresponding to the respective Sale and Leaseback Agreements;

(v) Crown Fortress having entered into the CF Equity Pledge Agreement;

(vi) Luoyang Hongjin having entered into the Accounts Receivable Pledge Agreements; and

  • 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(vii) the Company and CAP having obtained their respective shareholders' approvals (if required) by passing all necessary resolutions (or by way of shareholders' written approval) to approve the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement.

2. GUARANTEES AND SECURITIES FOR THE SALE AND LEASEBACK ARRANGEMENT

To secure the Co-Lessees' liabilities under the respective Sale and Leaseback Agreements, the following guarantees and securities have been provided to Haier:

(i) Hongjin has agreed to provide a joint liability guarantee;

(ii) Luoyang Hongjin has pledged all income and collection rights from its commercial property rentals, management fees, and vehicle entry fees; and

(iii) each of Henan Gangan and Crown Fortress has pledged all of its equity interests in Luoyang Hongjin.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS AND INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS OF THE SALE AND LEASEBACK ARRANGEMENT

According to the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 16, the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement will be accounted for as a financing arrangement and will not give rise to any gain or loss recognised in the income statement of the Group. Upon expiry of the lease term, the ownership of the Leased Assets can be transferred back to the Group upon payment of a nominal retention amount. Therefore, in substance and in terms of accounting treatment, the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement is effectively equivalent to borrowing a secured loan. There is no transfer of possession or use of the assets by Haier under the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement.

Therefore, the Directors consider that there is increase in cash and cash equivalents and increase in other loan upon implementation of the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement.

Save as disclosed above, the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement is not expected to have any material impact on the Group's assets and liabilities or earnings. The final financial impact on the Group will be subject to the audit to be performed by the auditor of the Company.

The Group intends to apply the net proceeds from the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement towards the repayment of its interest-bearing borrowings, general operation and working capital purposes.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO OF THE SALE AND LEASEBACK ARRANGEMENT

By entering into of the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement, the Group would be able to manage its working capital in a more effective manner as the sale price will be paid by Haier and cash flow can be managed more efficiently through the subsequent leasing arrangement. The operations of the Group would not be adversely affected by the sale of the Leased Assets as such assets will be immediately leased back to the Co-Lessees.

The Directors are of the opinion that the terms of the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement (including the sale price and the total lease payments), which have been determined on an arm's length basis, are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement, on a stand-alone basis and also on an aggregated basis with the Previous Sale and Leaseback Arrangement, exceeds 25% but is less than 75% for the Company, the entering into of the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules.

No Director has a material interest in the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement and is required to abstain from voting on the Board resolutions of the Company to approve any of the same.

The Shareholders who have a material interest in the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement and their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) are required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution(s) at the SGM. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, after having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in relation to the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement and is required to abstain from voting at the SGM.

SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

The SGM will be held for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving, among other things, the Sale and Purchase Arrangement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Monday, 30 June 2025 to Friday, 4 July 2025 (both dates inclusive) for determining the identity of the Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the SGM. No transfer of Shares will be registered during the book closure periods.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A notice convening the SGM at which ordinary resolution(s) will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve, among other things, the Sale and Leaseback Arrangement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, is contained on pages SGM-1 to SGM-3 of this circular.

RECOMMENDATION

Your attention is drawn to the letter and valuation report of RHL Appraisal Limited (an independent valuer appointed by WOG) with respect to their valuations of the Leased Assets as at 30 April 2025, which is set out in Appendix II to this circular.

The Shareholders are advised to read the aforesaid letter and report before deciding how to vote at the SGM.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Hong Kong's economy is facing challenges as a major global hub for finance, transport and trade, supported by mainland China. The Hong Kong government is rolling out strategies to draw in international businesses, investments and talent, boosting Hong Kong's competitiveness. In 2024, the Hong Kong economy grew moderately, with a real gross domestic product (GDP) increase of 2.5%, while GDP is projected to grow by 2.3% in 2025. The slightly slowdown is mainly attributed to weaker trade flows amid escalating trade tensions between the United States and the mainland China, which directly impact Hong Kong due to its role as a regional trade hub.

For the WOP Group, the real estate sector is particularly vulnerable to external influences. Ongoing uncertainty regarding the global economic recovery means that fluctuations in international financial markets can directly affect property dynamics in Hong Kong. Buyers often look for stability before making major investments. To navigate these challenges, the WOP Group is intensifying its efforts to sell residential and commercial projects while implementing a cautious risk management strategy. The WOP Group will closely monitor market developments and adapt our pricing and marketing approaches as necessary.

The fresh market business has been profitable and generated positive cash flow for decades. However, it now faces heightened competition from online shopping and delivery services, along with challenges from weak economic conditions and changing consumer spending, especially as Hong Kong residents travel to mainland China. To address these issues, the Group is stabilizing its fresh market portfolio by enhancing communication and collaboration with landlords to create mutually beneficial partnerships. This approach ensures suitable locations for fresh markets and supports diverse consumer preferences. By leveraging its expertise and resources, the Group aims to optimize operations, achieve economies of scale, and improve efficiency, leading to cost savings and better customer service.

WYT is dedicated to offering high-quality Traditional Chinese Medicine consultation services, emphasizing personalized care to meet individual customer needs. WYT is enhancing its Customer Relationship Management system to build stronger, trust-based relationships for long-term, mutually beneficial engagements. The Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area policy presents significant growth opportunities for the Chinese pharmaceutical and health food sectors. WYT is strategically positioned to capitalize on these by aligning its business strategies with regional dynamics and investing in cross-border e-commerce to boost brand presence. By focusing on exceptional service, strengthening customer relationships, and leveraging the Greater Bay Area policy, WYT aims to navigate market uncertainties and achieve lasting success in the industry.

Dear Sirs / Madam,

INSTRUCTIONS

We refer to your instruction for us to value various properties (the "Properties") held by China Agri-Products Exchange Limited, together with its subsidiaries (the "CAP Group") which is the subsidiary of Wang On Group Limited (the "Group"), located in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). We confirm that we have carried out site inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of market value of the Properties as at 30 April 2025 (the "Valuation Date").

This letter which forms part of our valuation report explains the basis and methodologies of valuation, clarifying assumptions, valuation considerations, title investigations and limiting conditions of this valuation.


APPENDIX II

VALUATION REPORT OF THE LEASED ASSETS

BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation is our opinion of the market value (“Market Value”) which we would define as intended to mean the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm-length’s transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

Market Value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, joint ventures, management agreements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

The income approach provides an indication of value by converting projected cash flows to a single current value. Under the income approach, the value of an asset is determined by reference to the value of income, cash flow or cost savings generated by the asset.

We have valued the properties on the basis of capitalization of the market rent. Direct comparison method which is adopted for assessment of market rent based on the principle of substitution, where comparison is made based on rent realized on actual rent and/or asking rent of comparable properties. Comparable properties of similar size, scale, nature, character and location are analysed and carefully weighed against all the respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of capital values.

VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS

In valuing the Properties, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5, Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the International Valuation Standards.


APPENDIX II

VALUATION REPORT OF THE LEASED ASSETS

VALUATION ASSUMPTION

In our valuation, unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that:

i. the Properties will continue to be used in its present existing state in the business of the CAP Group for which they were designed, built and erected;

ii. no deleterious or hazardous materials or techniques have been used in the construction of the Properties;

iii. the Properties are connected to main services and sewers which are available on normal terms; and

iv. The CAP Group is entitled to occupy, use and lease the Properties freely in the market when assessing the reference value.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have been shown copies of various documents relating to the property interest. However, we have not examined the original documents to verify the existing titles to the property interest or any amendment which does not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied considerably on the information given by the CAP Group's PRC legal advisers, Henan Shensheng Law Firm (河南申慎律師事務所), concerning the validity of the titles to the property interests.

LIMITING CONDITIONS

We have conducted on-site inspections in May 2025 by Ms. Liu Jing (MSc in Geo-information Science).

During the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects. However, no mechanical or structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report whether the Properties are free from rot, infestation or any other defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

We have not carried out detailed on-site measurement to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the Properties but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. All dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate.
