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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSALS FOR
GENERAL MANDATES TO ISSUE AND REPURCHASE SHARES;
(2) RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS;
AND
(3) NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the resolutions to be proposed at the AGM for the approval of (i) the granting of the Share Issue Mandate, the Share Repurchase Mandate and the extension of the Share Issue Mandate; and (ii) the re-election of retiring Directors.

SHARE ISSUE MANDATE

On 27 June 2024, the Directors were granted a general unconditional mandate to exercise the powers of the Company to allot, issue and deal with Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to renew such mandate at the AGM.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 87,091,200 Shares. Subject to passing of the resolution approving the Share Issue Mandate and on the basis that no further Shares are issued prior to the AGM, the Company would be allowed under the resolution approving the Share Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 17,418,240 Shares representing not more than 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Details of the Share Issue Mandate and the extension of the Share Issue Mandate are set out in ordinary resolutions as referred to in resolutions nos. 4 and 6 respectively of the notice of the AGM.

SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

On 27 June 2024, the Directors were granted a general unconditional mandate to exercise all the powers of the Company to repurchase Shares. Such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the AGM. It is therefore proposed to renew such mandate at the AGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 87,091,200 Shares. Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital between the period from the Latest Practicable Date and the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution will be 8,709,120 Shares representing not more than 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

An explanatory statement as required under the GEM Listing Rules, giving certain information regarding the Share Repurchase Mandate, is set out in Appendix I to this circular.

RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS

The Board currently comprises six Directors, namely Mr. Lui Man Wah, Mr. Hung Yuen Kin, Ms. Wong Chi Ling and Mr. Lee Kwok Lun. In accordance with Article 83(3) and 84(1), Mr. Lui Man Wah, Mr. Hung Yuen Kin and Mr. Lee Kwok Lun will retire at the AGM and, being eligible, all of them offer themselves for re-election at the AGM. Biographical details of the above retiring Directors proposed to be re-elected at the AGM are set out in Appendix II to this circular.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

At the AGM, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve the Share Issue Mandate, the Share Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Share Issue Mandate and the re-election of retiring Directors. The notice of the AGM is set out on pages 13 to 17 of this circular.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

VOTING BY WAY OF POLL

Pursuant to Rule 17.47(4) of the GEM Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. The chairman of the meeting will therefore demand a poll for every resolution put to the vote of the AGM pursuant to Article 66 of the Articles of Association and the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 17.47(5) of the GEM Listing Rules.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

A proxy form for use at the AGM is enclosed herein. Whether or not you intend to attend the AGM, you are requested to complete the proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours (i.e. 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, 28 June 2025) before the time appointed for the holding of the AGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the proxy form will not preclude you from attending and voting at the AGM, or any adjourned meeting, should you so wish.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors believe that the proposed grant of the Share Issue Mandate, the Share Repurchase Mandate, the extension of the Share Issue Mandate and the re-election of the retiring Directors are in the best interests of the Company as well as the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors recommend that all the Shareholders should vote in favour of all the relevant resolutions relating to aforesaid matters.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with 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 circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and is not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

GENERAL INFORMATION

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required by the GEM Listing Rules, to provide requisite information to you for your consideration of the proposal to permit the repurchase of Shares up to a maximum of 10% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the Repurchase Resolution.

1. EXERCISE OF THE SHARE REPURCHASE MANDATE

Exercise in full of the Share Repurchase Mandate, on the basis of 87,091,200 Shares in issue at the Latest Practicable Date, would result in up to 8,709,120 Shares (which will be fully paid and represent 10% of the Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date) being repurchased by the Company during the course of the period prior to the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; or (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (iii) the passing of any ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting of the Company revoking, varying or renewing the Share Repurchase Mandate.

2. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES

Repurchases of Shares will only be made when the Directors believe that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at that time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per Share.

3. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES

In repurchasing Shares, the Company may only apply funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles of Association and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands. Pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate, repurchases will be made out of funds of the Company legally permitted to be utilised in this connection, including funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the proceeds of a fresh issue of Shares made for the purpose of the repurchase. In the case of any premium payable on the repurchase, out of funds of the Company which would otherwise be available for dividend or distribution or out of the share premium account of the Company. 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 GEM prevailing from time to time.

4. GENERAL

There might be a 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 of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024) in the event that the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full. However, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a


APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

material adverse effect on the working capital requirements of the Company or on the gearing position of the Company which in the opinion of the Directors are from time to time appropriate for the Company.

The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the memorandum of association of the Company, the Articles of Association and all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands in force from time to time.

None of the Directors nor, to the best of their knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, any of their respective close associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), has any present intention, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.

No core connected person (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company has notified the Company that he has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company, or has undertaken not to do so, if the Share Repurchase Mandate is exercised.

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 purposes of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert (within the meaning under the Takeovers Code), depending on the level of increase in the interest of the Shareholder(s), could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become(s) obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code as a result of a repurchase of Shares made under the Share Repurchase Mandate. As at the Latest Practicable Date the Directors are not aware of any Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code in the event that the Directors exercise the power to repurchase Shares made pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate.

The Directors are not aware of any consequence under the Takeovers Code as a result of a repurchase of Shares made under the Share Repurchase Mandate and have no present intention to exercise the power to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as to result in takeover obligations.

The Directors will not exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate if the repurchase would result in the number of Shares which are in the hands of the public falling below 25% of the total number of Shares in issue (or such other percentage as may prescribed as the minimum public shareholding under the GEM Listing Rules).

Any repurchase of Shares which results in the number of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25% could only be implemented with the approval of the Stock Exchange to waive the GEM Listing Rules requirements regarding the public shareholding.

  • 8 -

APPENDIX I

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

However, the Directors have no current intention to exercise the Share Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would give rise to this obligation. In any event, the Company will not repurchase Shares which would result in the amount of Shares held by the public being reduced to less than 25%.

5. SHARES PURCHASED BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares has been made by the Company (whether on GEM or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

6. SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest traded prices of which the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange during the each of the past 12 months up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
