CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to approve the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors.

1. GEM LISTING RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASE OF SHARES

The GEM Listing Rules permit companies listing on GEM to repurchase their shares on GEM or on another stock exchange recognised for this purpose by the SFC and the Stock Exchange, subject to the provisions of the Code on Share Buy-backs and certain restrictions, amongst which the GEM Listing Rules provide that the shares proposed to be repurchased by the issuer must be fully paid up and all repurchase of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders, either by way of a general mandate to its directors to make the purchase(s) or by specific approval of a particular transaction.

2. SHARE CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the number of Shares in issue is 687,200,000. Subject to the passing of the resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued or repurchased before the date of the Annual General Meeting, the Directors will be authorised to repurchase a maximum of 68,720,000 Shares, being 10% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolution for granting the Repurchase Mandate during the period up to (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (b) the expiration of the period within which the Company is required by its Articles or the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to hold its next annual general meeting; or (c) the revocation, variation or renewal of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company, whichever occurs first.

3. REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASES

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders to seek general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to exercise power of the Company to repurchase its Shares on GEM pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead 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 a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX I

4. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

Repurchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles, the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. Under the Companies Act, any repurchases by the Company may only be made out of profits of the Company or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase or, if so authorised by its Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, out of capital and, in the case of any premium payable on a repurchase, such premium must be provided for out of the profits of the Company or from sums standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company or, if authorised by its Articles and subject to the provisions of the Companies Act, out of capital. The Company may not repurchase securities on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange from time to time.

5. WORKING CAPITAL

There might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the audited financial statements contained in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2024) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate was to be carried out in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital requirements of the Company or its gearing levels which, in the opinion of the Board, are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

6. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares were traded on GEM in each of the twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
