The Group shall compare the services fees and terms of the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements to those of other customers which are independent third parties, when entering to the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements to ensure the service fees under the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements are no less favourable than those of other customers which are independent third parties.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE WAREHOUSING AND LOGISTICS SERVICES AGREEMENTS

The Company considers the entering into the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements shall enhance the overall utilisation of the Group’s warehouse facilities in Hong Kong and PRC and improve operational efficiency. It is also expected that the provision of such services will generate additional service income for the Group, thereby broadening the Group’s revenue base and create a stable and recurring income stream.

Mr. Xie Lishu and Ms. Huang Shaoli (the “Abstained Directors”), pursuant to their non-competition undertakings provided in favour of the Company as disclosed in the announcement dated May 19, 2023, have recused themselves from participating in the discussions and abstained from voting on the resolutions of the Board for approving the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Furthermore, the Abstained Directors shall not participate in the management or oversight of such transactions. The members of the Board who do not have an interest in the transactions (the “Independent Board”) were responsible for reviewing and approving the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements.

Based on the assessment by the Independent Board, the Independent Board considers that the terms of the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements and the proposed aggregate Annual Caps are fair and reasonable and the Continuing Connected Transactions are on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

NON-COMPETITION UNDERTAKINGS

The Abstained Directors have provided non-competition undertakings in favour of the Company effective upon their appointment. As disclosed in the announcement dated May 19, 2023, the non-competition undertakings are intended to manage potential conflicts of interest arising from Mr. Xie Lishu’s and Ms. Huang Shaoli’s respective roles in both the Company and Shanghai YCT, given their similar business models, geographical presence, and overlapping suppliers and customers. The non-competition undertakings include, among others, measures such as restricting Mr. Xie Lishu and Ms. Huang Shaoli from participating in the Company’s management where competition exists, requiring them to abstain from voting on conflicted matters, and granting the Company a right of first refusal on relevant business opportunities. In addition, the non-competition undertakings mandate annual compliance declarations by Mr. Xie Lishu and Ms. Huang Shaoli, independent board oversight, and disclosure obligations by the Company in its annual reports to the Shareholders.

In accordance with the non-competition undertakings:

(i) each Abstained Director has recused himself/herself from participating in the discussions and abstained from voting on the resolutions of the Board for approving the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements and the Continuing Connected Transactions;


(ii) the Independent Board was responsible for deciding, in the absence of the Abstained Directors, regarding the Continuing Connected Transactions; and

(iii) the independent non-executive Directors have been provided the financial information and other information and professional advice they have requested in relation to the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements in order to make an informed decision.

Based on the assessment by the Independent Board, the Independent Board considers that the Abstained Directors have complied with the non-competition undertakings.

INTERNAL CONTROLS

In order to ensure that the terms under the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements are no less favourable than those offered to independent third parties, the Company has implemented internal control procedures and policies to monitor the Continuing Connected Transactions and policies and to ensure that all Continuing Connected Transactions are entered into in accordance with pricing policies and are fair and reasonable in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such measures include:

(i) the Company will conduct regular checks to review and assess whether the Continuing Connected Transactions are conducted in accordance with the terms under the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements respectively, and will also regularly compare the services fees and terms of the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements to other customers which are independent third parties for the purpose of considering if the service fees charged for the Warehousing and Logistics Services are fair and reasonable and in accordance with the respective pricing policies;

(ii) the external auditors of the Company will conduct an annual review on the terms and Annual Caps of the Continuing Connected Transactions; and

(iii) the Audit Committee will review at least once a year regarding the implementation and enforcement of the internal controls monitoring the Continuing Connected Transactions.

The logistic team shall be responsible for comparing terms and prices for the Warehousing and Logistics Services offered to independent third parties when entering into the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements to ensure the terms and service fees charged under the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements are in line with the pricing policies. The logistic consultant shall determine whether the terms of the continuing connected transactions are fair and reasonable and conducted in accordance with the Warehousing and Logistics Services Agreements.

12


To ensure that the Continuing Connected Transactions would not exceed the respective Annual Caps, each relevant department shall nominate a senior manager/staff to be the responsible person (the “Responsible Person(s)”) to report to the company secretary of the Company (the “Company Secretary”) on a monthly basis, the value of the Continuing Connected Transactions. The Company Secretary will also liaise with the Group’s finance department each month to verify the actual transaction amounts. In the event that the Responsible Person receives any information that the approved Annual Caps may be exceeded, such information will also be reported, alongside with the proposed response (i.e. revision of the Annual Cap(s)) to the Company Secretary, where such information shall be compiled and presented to the Board for deliberation and approval (with Directors having an interest in the transaction under consideration abstaining from such deliberation, review and approval process), and the Company will comply with the relevant announcement and/or shareholders’ approval requirements in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the SGX-ST Listing Manual.
