SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT IN RELATION TO THE AUDITED ANNUAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE ‘‘STOCK EXCHANGE’’)

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.

This announcement, for which the directors (the ‘‘Directors’’) of Million Stars Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange (the ‘‘GEM Listing Rules’’) for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this announcement is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this announcement misleading.

In addition, discount rates are the key inputs applied in the discounted cash flow approach used in the valuation. Discount rate is a rate of return that an investor would require on an investment in the business. This rate of return should reflect a range of macroeconomic, industry, and company-specific factors that translate into the degree of perceived risk to achieve the projected results. The Capital Asset Pricing Model (‘‘ CAPM ’’), which considers several inputs of data, was applied in estimating such discount rates. To the best knowledge of the management, the effect of the outbreak of the COVID-19 is considered through the specific risk premium applied in the CAPM, which in turn has an increasing impact to the discount rates used in the discounted cash flow approach and the valuation of the intangible assets as of 30 June 2020.
