CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Rights Issue and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (iv) other information required under the GEM Listing Rules; and (v) a notice convening the SGM.

PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The Board proposes to implement the Capital Reorganisation in the following manner:

  • (i) the Share Consolidation on the basis that every forty (40) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of HK$0.40 each (any fraction in the issued share capital of the Company which may arise from the Share Consolidation will be cancelled);

  • (ii) immediately following the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Capital Reduction whereby the issued share capital of the Company will be reduced by (a) rounding down the total number of Consolidated Shares in the issued share capital of the Company to the nearest whole number by eliminating any fraction of a Consolidated Share in the issued share capital of the Company; and (b) cancelling the paid-up share capital of the Company to the extent of HK$0.39 on each of the then issued Consolidated Share such that the par value of each issued Consolidated Share will be reduced from HK$0.40 to HK$0.01;

  • (iii) immediately following the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Sub-division whereby each authorised but unissued Consolidated Share will be sub-divided into forty (40) Adjusted Shares of HK$0.01 each so that immediately following the Capital Reorganisation, the authorised share capital of the Company shall be HK$400,000,000 divided into 40,000,000,000 Adjusted Shares;

  • (iv) immediately following the Capital Reduction and Sub-division becoming effective, the Share Premium Reduction whereby the entire amount standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account will be reduced to nil; and

  • (v) immediately following the Share Premium Reduction becoming effective, the transfer of all the credits arising from the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction of approximately HK$700.31 million (being HK$140.08 million from the Capital Reduction and approximately HK$560.23 million from the Share Premium Reduction) to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act be applied in full to set off the accumulated losses of the Company or be applied by the Board in a manner as permitted by the Bye-Laws and all applicable laws of Bermuda from time to time without further authorisation from the Shareholders.

Effects of the Capital Reorganisation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$400,000,000.00 divided into 40,000,000,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each, and there are 14,367,101,072 Existing Shares in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

effective and on the basis that no further Shares will be allotted, issued or repurchased prior thereto, the issued share capital of the Company will be HK$143,671,010.72 divided into 359,177,526 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.40 each.

Any fractional Consolidated Share to which an individual Shareholder is entitled to will not be issued by the Company to such Shareholder, but will be aggregated, sold and retained for the benefit of the Company. Any fractional Consolidated Share in the issued share capital of the Company arising from the Share Consolidation shall be cancelled.

Shareholders concerned about losing out on any fractional entitlement are recommended to consult their licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant or other professional adviser and may wish to consider the possibility of buying or selling Existing Shares in a number sufficient to make up an entitlement to receive a whole number of Adjusted Shares.

Upon the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the par value of all the issued Consolidated Shares shall be reduced from HK$0.40 each to HK$0.01 each by cancelling the paid-up share capital to the extent of HK$0.39 per Consolidated Share in issue, and any fractional Consolidated Shares in the issued share capital of the Company arising from the Share Consolidation will be cancelled.

Upon the Sub-division becoming effective, each of the authorised but unissued Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.40 each will be subdivided into forty (40) authorised but unissued Adjusted Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each.

The Adjusted Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the ByeLaws. The issued share capital will be reduced to HK$3,591,775.26 divided into 359,177,526 Adjusted Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each.

Based on 14,367,101,072 Existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, a credit of approximately HK$140.08 million will arise as a result of the Capital Reduction becoming effective after the Capital Reorganisation. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has a credit balance of approximately HK$560.23 million standing in the Share Premium Account. The credits arising from the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction will be transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act and be applied in full to set off the accumulated losses of the Company or be applied by the Board in a manner as permitted by the Bye-Laws and all applicable laws of Bermuda from time to time without further authorisation from the Shareholders.

Other than the relevant expenses incurred and to be incurred, the implementation of the Capital Reorganisation will have no effect on the consolidated net asset value of the Group, nor will it alter the underlying assets, business, operations, management of financial position of the Company.

The Capital Reorganisation will not involve any diminution of any liability in respect of any unpaid capital of the Company or the repayment to the Shareholders of any unpaid capital of the Company nor will it result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iv) the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the Bye-Laws and the laws of Bermuda to effect the Capital Reorganisation, which include the Directors being satisfied that on the date the Capital Reorganisation is to take effect, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Capital Reorganisation would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, and the GEM Listing Rules to effect the Capital Reorganisation; and

  • (v) the obtaining of all necessary approvals from the regulatory authorities or otherwise as may be required in respect of the Capital Reorganisation.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions have been fulfilled.

Application for listing and dealings

Application will be made to the GEM Listing Committee for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Adjusted Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Adjusted Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Adjusted Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.

None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective, the Adjusted Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

Status of the Adjusted Shares

The Adjusted Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu with the then Adjusted Shares in issue in all respects. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Adjusted Shares to be admitted into CCASS.

Fractional entitlement to Adjusted Shares

Any fractional Adjusted Share arising from the Capital Reorganisation, if any, will be disregarded and will not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Adjusted Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Adjusted Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Existing Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Odd lots arrangements and matching services

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Adjusted Shares, the Company will appoint a securities firm to provide matching services, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Adjusted Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Adjusted Shares. Details of the odd lot arrangement will be set out in the Prospectus to be despatched to the Shareholders.

Holders of odd lots of the Adjusted Shares should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Adjusted Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder who is in any doubt about the odd lots arrangements is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.

Free exchange of share certificates for the Adjusted Shares

Subject to the Capital Reorganisation having become effective, Shareholders may, during the specified period from Thursday, 16 April 2026 to Tuesday, 26 May 2026 (both days inclusive), submit the existing share certificates for the Existing Shares to the Registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates for the Adjusted Shares (in green colour) (on the basis of forty (40) Existing Shares for one (1) Adjusted Share).

After the aforementioned free exchange period, existing share certificates for Existing Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for new share certificates for Adjusted Shares at the expense of the Shareholders on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may be allowed by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each existing share certificate cancelled or each new share certificate issued for Adjusted Shares (whichever is higher) but are not acceptable for trading, settlement and registration purposes.

After 4:10 p.m. on Thursday, 21 May 2026, trading will only be in Adjusted Shares which share certificates will be issued in green colour. Existing share certificates in yellow colour for the Existing Shares will cease to be valid for trading and settlement purpose, but will remain valid and effective as documents of title.

REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION

According to Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of the issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the Stock Exchange reserves the right to require the issuer either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities.

According to the ‘‘Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions’’ issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated in September 2024, (i) any trading price less than HK$0.10 will be considered as approaching the extremities of HK$0.01; and (ii) taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected board lot value should be greater than HK$2,000.

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the closing price per Existing Share of the Company is HK$0.01, and with the board lot size of 10,000 Existing Shares, the existing board lot value is only HK$100, which was less than HK$2,000. The Existing Share prices have been constantly traded below HK$0.10 and the value of each board lot has remained below HK$2,000 for the past five years.

In view of the prolonged period of share prices approaching extremity, the Directors consider that the proposed Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the expected value per board lot, resulting in the theoretical closing price of HK$0.40 per Adjusted Share and the expected market value of each board lot of HK$4,000 (based on the current closing price of HK$0.01 per Existing Share as at the Latest Practicable Date) and will enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules and reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Shares as a proportion of the market value of each board lot, since most of the banks/securities houses will charge a minimum transaction cost for each securities trade.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective but before implementation of the Capital Reduction, the par value of the Existing Shares will be consolidated from HK$0.01 into HK$0.40 per Consolidated Share.

Meanwhile, the Capital Reorganisation also involves the Capital Reduction which will reduce the par value of the issued Consolidated Shares from HK$0.40 per Consolidated Share to HK$0.01 per Adjusted Share. Under the laws of Bermuda, the Company is restricted in its ability to issue Shares at a price lower than their par value. Accordingly, the Capital Reduction will allow greater flexibility in the pricing for any issue of new Shares in the future.

Further, the credit in the contributed surplus account arising from the Capital Reorganisation will enable the Company to reduce its accumulated losses. As such, the Board proposes to implement the Capital Reorganisation.

The Board considers that (i) the Share Consolidation will reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Existing Share as a proportion of the market value of each board lot, since most of the banks/securities houses will charge minimum transaction costs for each securities transaction and enable the Company to meet compliance requirement as well as to maintain the value of each board lot at a reasonable level; (ii) the Capital Reduction will reduce the par value of the Consolidated Shares, which will provide the Company with greater flexibility in possible fundraisings in the future; and (iii) the credits in the contributed surplus account of the Company arising from the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction, which will enable the Company to set off against its accumulated losses (if any) in full or by the amount of such credits and may facilitate or be applied in any future distribution to the Shareholders or be applied in any other manner as the Board may deem fit as may be permitted under all applicable laws and the Bye-Laws. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate action in the next twelve months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Capital Reorganisation.

The Capital Reorganisation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company nor result in change in the relative rights of the Shareholders and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon satisfaction of conditions set out in the paragraph headed ‘‘Proposed Capital Reorganisation – Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation’’ in this circular. Therefore, the Capital Reorganisation may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Existing Shares, the Consolidated Shares, the Adjusted Shares and/or nil-paid Rights Shares of the Company. If they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.

PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE

The Board proposes, subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, to conduct the Rights Issue on the basis of one (1) Rights Share for every one (1) Adjusted Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders as at the Record Date. Set out below are the details of the Rights Issue statistics.

Rights Issue statistics

Basis of the Rights Issue

  • : one (1) Rights Share for every one (1) Adjusted Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date

  • Subscription Price

  • : HK$0.24 per Rights Share

  • Net price per Right Share (i.e. Subscription Price less cost and expenses incurred in the Rights Issue)

  • : approximately HK$0.2316 per Rights Share (on the basis that all the Rights Shares will be taken up)

  • Number of Existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date

  • : 14,367,101,072 Existing Shares

  • Number of Adjusted Shares in issue upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective

  • : 359,177,526 Adjusted Shares (assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue up to the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation)

  • Number of Rights Shares

  • : up to 359,177,526 Rights Shares (assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date other than the Capital Reorganisation)

  • Number of Shares in issue upon completion of the Rights Issue

  • : Up to 718,355,052 Shares (assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date other than the Capital Reorganisation)

  • Gross proceeds from the Rights Issue

  • : Approximately HK$86.2 million before deducting the expenses (assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue and assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date other than the Capital Reorganisation)

– 19 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • Net proceeds from the Rights Issue : Approximately HK$83.2 million after deducting the expenses (assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue and assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date other than the Capital Reorganisation)

Rights of excess application and : There will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the underwriter Rights Issue and the Rights Issue is not underwritten Compensatory Arrangements : Any Unsubscribed Rights Shares and ES Unsold Rights Shares will be placed to independent Placees on a best effort basis under the Compensatory Arrangements. Any Unsubscribed Rights Shares or ES Unsold Rights Shares which remain unplaced under the Compensatory Arrangement in the market will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Company has no outstanding derivatives, convertible securities, options, warrants or other similar securities in issue which would otherwise confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares. The Company has no intention to issue or grant any Shares, convertible securities and/or options on or before the Record Date.

Assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue on or before the Record Date, other than from the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the aggregate 359,177,526 Rights Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of the Rights Issue represent 100% of the total number of issued Adjusted Shares upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective and approximately 50% of the total number of issued Adjusted Shares as enlarged by the issue of the Rights Shares (assuming full acceptance by the Qualifying Shareholders).

Non-underwritten basis

The Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptances of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. There will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the Rights Issue as stipulated under Rule 10.31(1)(a) of the GEM Listing Rules. In the event the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, any Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders, will be placed to independent Placees under the Compensatory Arrangements. Any Unsubscribed Rights Shares or ES Unsold Rights Shares remain unplaced under the Compensatory Arrangements will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly. There is no minimum subscription level or minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue.

As the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis, the Shareholder who applies to take up all or part of his/her/its entitlement under the PAL(s) may unwittingly incur an obligation to make a general offer for the Shares under the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be made on terms that the Company will provide for the Shareholders to apply on the basis that if the Rights Shares are not fully taken up, the application of any Shareholder (except for HKSCC Nominees Limited) for his/her/its assured

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

entitlement under the Rights Issue will be scaled down to a level which does not trigger an obligation on part of the relevant Shareholder to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code in accordance with the note to Rule 10.26(2) of the GEM Listing Rules.

The Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.24 per Rights Share, payable in full upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares and, where applicable, when a renouncee of any provisional allotment of the Rights Shares or a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 40.0% to the adjusted closing price of HK$0.400 per Adjusted Share (after taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) based on the closing price of HK$0.010 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 40.0% to the adjusted closing price of HK$0.400 per Adjusted Share (after taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) based on the closing price of HK$0.010 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 41.2% to the adjusted average closing price of HK$0.408 per Adjusted Share (after taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) based on the average closing price of HK$0.0102 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five (5) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 41.2% to the adjusted average closing price of HK$0.408 per Adjusted Share (after taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) based on the average closing price of approximately HK$0.0102 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten (10) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (v) a discount of approximately 25.9% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.324 per Adjusted Share (after taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) based on the closing price of HK$0.010 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (vi) a discount of approximately 77.1% to the net asset value of the Company of approximately HK$1.05 per Adjusted Share based on the audited net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$377.5 million as at 30 April 2025 and 359,177,526 Adjusted Shares in issue after adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation;

  • (vii) a discount of approximately 81.0% to the net asset value of the Company of approximately HK$1.26 per Adjusted Share based on the unaudited net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$453.7 million as at 31 October 2025 and 359,177,526 Adjusted Shares in issue after adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation; and

– 21 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (viii) theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) represented by a discount of approximately 20.6%, represented by the theoretical diluted price of HK$0.324 per Adjusted Share (after taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) to the benchmarked price of approximately HK$0.408 per Adjusted share (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules, taking into account the higher of (i) the adjusted closing price of the Adjusted Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and (ii) the adjusted average closing price of the five (5) previous consecutive trading days prior to the date of the Announcement and taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation).

The Subscription Price was determined by the Company with reference to, among other things, (i) the prevailing market price of the Existing Shares; (ii) the low liquidity of the Existing Shares; (iii) the latest business performance and financial position of the Group; and (iv) the reasons for and benefits of the proposed Rights Issue as discussed in the section headed ‘‘Reasons for the Rights Issue, the Placing and Use of Proceeds’’. All Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares at the same price in proportion to his/her/its existing shareholding in the Company held on the Record Date so as to maintain their proportionate interests in the Company and participate in the future growth of the Group.

The public float requirements under the GEM Listing Rules shall be fulfilled by the Company at all times. The Company will take all appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float be maintained at all times in compliance with Rule 17.37B of the GEM Listing Rules.

The Directors (excluding the members of the Independent Board Committee whose opinion will be provided after taking into account the advice of the independent financial adviser) consider that, despite any potential dilution impact of the Rights Issue on the shareholding interests of the Shareholders, the terms and structure of the Rights Issue are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, after taking into account the following factors: (i) the Qualifying Shareholders who do not wish to take up their provisional entitlements under the Rights Issue are able to sell the nil paid rights in the market; (ii) the Qualifying Shareholders who choose to accept their provisional entitlements in full can maintain their respective existing shareholding interests in the Company after the Rights Issue; (iii) the Rights Issue allows the Qualifying Shareholders an opportunity to subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares for the purpose of maintaining their respective existing shareholding interests in the Company at a relatively low price as compared to the recent market price of the Shares; and (iv) the discount of the Subscription Price to the current market price (taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) will encourage them to participate in the Rights Issue.

Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares to which they are entitled should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted upon completion of the Rights Issue. The possible maximum dilution to shareholdings of those Qualifying Shareholders who do not subscribe to the Rights Issue is approximately 50%. The theoretical dilution effect of the Rights Issue is approximately 20.6% which is below 25% as required under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company will comply with Rule 17.41(1) of the GEM Listing Rules and make enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the offer of the Rights Shares to Overseas Shareholders, if any. If, based on the legal opinions to be provided by the legal advisers to the Company, the Directors consider that it is necessary or expedient not to offer the Rights Shares to the Overseas Shareholders on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of the place(s) of their registered address(es) or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body(ies) or stock exchange(s) in such place(s), the Rights Issue will not be extended to such Overseas Shareholders. The basis for excluding such Excluded Shareholders, if any, from the Rights Issue will be set out in the Prospectus to be issued.

The Company will send the Prospectus to the Excluded Shareholders (if any) for their information only, but will not send any PAL to them.

Arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares, which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Excluded Shareholders, to be sold in the market in their nil-paid form during the period from Wednesday, 29 April 2026 to Thursday, 7 May 2026 if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. The proceeds from such sale, less expenses and stamp duty, of more than HK$100 will be paid on pro-rata basis to the relevant Excluded Shareholders.

In view of administrative costs, the Company will retain individual amounts of HK$100 or less for its own benefit.

Any unsold Rights Shares, which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Excluded Shareholders in nil-paid form, will be placed by the Placing Agent at the price at least equal to the Subscription Price under the Placing Arrangement together with the Unsubscribed Rights Shares. Any Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares remain unplaced after completion of the Placing Arrangement will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly. For the nil-paid Rights Shares that were sold as described above and the buyer of such nil-paid Rights Shares who will not take up the entitlement, such Unsubscribed Rights Shares will be subject to the Compensatory Arrangements.

Overseas Shareholders should note that they may or may not be entitled to the Rights Issue. Accordingly, Overseas Shareholders should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any acceptance of or applications for Rights Shares where it believes that such acceptance or application would violate the applicable securities or other laws or regulations of any territory or jurisdiction. Accordingly, Overseas Shareholders should exercise caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their own professional advisers.

Status of the Rights Shares

The Rights Shares, when allotted and fully paid or credited as fully paid and issued, will rank pari passu in all respects among themselves and with the Shares then in issue. Holders of fully-paid Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions, which are declared, made or paid, on or after the record date of which is after the date of allotment of the Rights Shares in their fully-paid form.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Dealings in the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms will be subject to payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, transaction levy, investor compensation levy or any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

Fractions of the Rights Shares

On the basis of provisional allotment of one (1) Rights Share for every one (1) Adjusted Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date, no fractional entitlements to the Rights Shares will arise under the Rights Issue.

Closure of register of members

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 21 April 2026 to Friday, 24 April 2026 (both dates inclusive) for determining the entitlements to the Rights Issue. No transfer of Shares will be registered during this period.

Arrangement on odd lot trading

Upon completion of the Rights Issue, the board lots of the Company will remain as 10,000 Shares. In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Shares as a result of the Rights Issue, the Company will appoint a securities firm to provide matching services, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to top up or sell their holdings of odd lots of the Shares. Further details in respect of the arrangement of odd lot trading will be set out in the Prospectus.

Shareholders should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders who are in any doubt about the odd lot matching arrangement are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

To alleviate the difficulties in trading odd lots of the Shares arising from the Rights Issue, the Company will appoint a securities firm to provide matching services to the Shareholders who wish to top up or sell their holdings of odd lots of the Shares during the period from 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 30 April 2026 to 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 21 May 2026 (both dates inclusive). Holders of the Shares in odd who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the Shares or to top up their odd lots to a full new board lot may directly or through their broker during such period. The Shareholders are recommended to consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt about the above facility.

Procedures in respect of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares, and the Compensatory Arrangements

Pursuant to Rule 10.31(1)(b) of the GEM Listing Rules, the Company must make arrangements to dispose of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares by offering the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares to independent Placees for the benefit of the Shareholders to whom they were offered by way of the rights. There will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the Rights Issue as stipulated under Rule 10.31(1)(a) of the GEM Listing Rules.

– 29 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Placing Completion

  • : Completion is expected to take place within six Business Days after publication of an announcement by the Company of the number of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares under the Compensatory Arrangements and upon fulfilment or waiver (as the case may be) of the conditions precedent to the Placing Agreement or such other date as the Company and the Placing Agent may agree in writing.

The Company shall use its best endeavours to procure the fulfilment of such conditions precedent to the Placing Agreement by the Long Stop Date. If any of the conditions precedent to the Placing Agreement have not been fulfilled by the Long Stop Date or become incapable of being fulfilled (subject to the Placing Agent not exercising its rights to waive or extend the time for fulfilment of such conditions), then the Placing will lapse and all rights, obligations and liabilities of the Company and the Placing Agent in relation to the Placing shall cease and determine, save in respect of any accrued rights or obligations under the Placing Agreement or antecedent breach thereof.

Public float : The Placing Agent shall ensure that the minimum public float requirement under the GEM Listing Rules be fulfilled by the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue.

The engagement between the Company and the Placing Agent for the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and ES Unsold Rights Shares (including the commission payable) was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Placing Agent and is on normal commercial terms with reference to the market comparables, the existing financial position of the Group, the size of the Rights Issue, and the current and expected market condition. The Directors consider that the terms of Placing Agreement for the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and ES Unsold Rights Shares (including the commission payable) are on normal commercial terms.

Given that the Compensatory Arrangements would provide (i) a distribution channel of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares to the Company; (ii) an additional channel of participation in the Rights Issue for independent Qualifying Shareholders; and (iii) a compensatory mechanism for No Action Shareholders and the Excluded Shareholders, the Directors consider that the Compensatory Arrangements are fair and reasonable and would provide adequate safeguard to protect the interest of the Company’s minority Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN THE EXISTING SHARES, THE ADJUSTED SHARES AND/OR THE NIL-PAID RIGHTS SHARES

The Rights Issue is subject to the fulfilment of conditions including, among other things, the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in their nil-paid and fully-paid forms. Please refer to the section headed ‘‘Proposed Rights Issue – Conditions of the Rights Issue’’ in this circular.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that each of the Rights Issue and the Placing is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions. If any of the conditions of the Rights Issue and/or the Placing are not fulfilled, the Rights Issue and/or the Placing will not proceed.

Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptances of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. Accordingly, if the Rights Issue is undersubscribed, the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced. Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up their assured entitlements in full and Excluded Shareholders, if any, should note that their shareholdings in the Company may be diluted, the extent of which will depend in part on the size of the Rights Issue.

Any Shareholder or other person contemplating transferring, selling, or purchasing Shares is advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Existing Shares, the Adjusted Shares and/or the nilpaid Rights Shares. Any person who is in any doubt about his/her/its position or any action to be taken is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional adviser(s).

Any Shareholder or other person dealing in the Existing Shares, the Adjusted Shares and/or the nil-paid Rights Shares up to the date on which all the conditions to which the Rights Issue is subject are fulfilled or the Long Stop Date will accordingly bear the risk that the Rights Issue and/or the Placing may not proceed.

REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE, THE PLACING AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in (i) the provision of scaffolding, fitting out and other auxiliary services for construction and buildings work; (ii) money lending business; and (iii) securities investment business.

Having reviewed the latest unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 31 October 2025, the Directors note that:

  • (i) for the six months ended 31 October 2025, the Group recorded negative cashflow of approximately HK$7.6 million from operating activities as compared to positive cashflow of approximately HK$2.9 million from operating activities;

  • (ii) as at 31 October 2025, the Group’s other borrowings (including interests) was approximately HK$153.6 million as compared to approximately HK$152.6 million as at 30 April 2025;

– 32 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iii) as at 31 October 2025, the Group’s bank balances and cash in general accounts amounted to approximately HK$3.9 million compared to approximately HK$15.6 million as at 30 April 2025.

Although scaffolding, fitting out and other auxiliary services for construction and buildings work have been the second largest business segment of the Group, in terms of revenue, for the year ended 30 April 2025 and the six months ended 31 October 2025, the Group recorded loss from this segment during the aforesaid periods. Currently, the Group (i) has 12 projects on hand with total contract sum of approximately HK$134.9 million of which approximately HK$96.4 million has been billed; and (ii) participates in two tenders for new projects with total estimated contract sum of approximately HK$50.0 million and the awards of which have yet to be confirmed. Based on the current budget and progress of the existing projects, the Company expects the segment to be self-financing, requiring no significant additional capital in near future. For the two new projects that are under tender, the Company does not expect significant upfront costs to be incurred in early stage except administrative expenses. Given operating and administrative expenses (which covers overall administrative costs and staff salaries of the Group) have been the largest recurring costs of the Group, the intended allocation of net proceeds to the Group’s working capital would enable the Company to maintain its core function for strategic management of the Group’s development.

The Company is an industry pioneer in the scaffolding industry, possessing leading technology, such as smart climbing scaffolding. The Company will continue this business segment and explore suitable technology, to improve work safety and enhance cost control. Based on the above, the Company currently has no intention to allocate any net proceeds from the Rights Issue to this business segment.

As for the money lending segment of the Group, the Group had an unaudited loan and interest receivables of approximately HK$458.23 million as at 31 October 2025 which falls due within one year. Given (i) the money lending segment was profit-making during the year ended 30 April 2025 and the six months ended 31 October 2025 and the Group is actively identifying new customers (in the 12 months prior to 31 October 2025, the Group identified ten new customers); and (ii) to support its ongoing demand for new loans, the Group has to retain capital from loan repayments, if received, upon maturity of existing loans as the Group intends to reinvest capital recovered from maturing loan. As such, the Company has no intention to change the capital scale of this business segment.

In view of the financial conditions and performance of the Group and the imminent need of capital, the Directors consider that the Rights Issue represents a good opportunity to raise capital to repay its borrowings (comprising various interest-bearing bonds) and replenish its working capital. As disclosed in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 31 October 2025, other borrowings of the Group amounted to approximately HK$153.56 million (unaudited) as at 31 October 2025. Among these, interest-bearing bonds of the Group (with annual interest rates ranging from 6.5% to 11.0% and maturity dates falling between June 2023 and October 2025) in total amount of approximately HK$106.4 million (including interests) have already matured and fallen due as at the Latest Practicable Date. Although the Group is not aware of any enforcement actions for repayment initiated by the holders of the aforesaid matured bonds, it remains obligated to settle such outstanding amount to avoid potential legal actions and the accrual of further interests. Hence, the Company currently intends to prioritise repayment of those bonds with earlier maturity dates or higher coupon rates as soon as practicable following the completion of the Rights Issue and the Placing and after liaising with the relevant bond holders.

– 33 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It is estimated that the Company will raise up to HK$86.2 million from the Rights Issue and the relevant expenses would be approximately HK$3.0 million, which includes placing commission and professional fees payable to financial advisers, legal advisers, financial printer and other parties involved in the Rights Issue. The estimated maximum net proceeds from the Rights Issue will accordingly be approximately HK$83.2 million (equivalent to a net price of approximately HK$0.2316 per Rights Share). In line with the aforesaid business objectives, the Company intends to utilise the net proceeds from the Rights Issue as follows:

  • (i) approximately HK$73.0 million for repayment of a portion of the Group’s borrowings which have already matured as disclosed above; and

  • (ii) approximately HK$10.2 million as general working capital of the Group such as staff salary, lease of offices and warehouses and maintenance costs for the Group’s plant and equipment.

In the event that there is an undersubscription of the Rights Issue, the net proceeds of the Rights Issue will be utilised in proportion to the above uses. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds for (i) the repayment of the abovementioned matured but outstanding borrowings as soon as practicable after completion of the Rights Issue and the Placing which is currently expected to be June 2026; and (ii) the working capital of the Group for the financial year ending 30 April 2027.

The Company has considered other fund-raising alternatives before proceeding with the Rights Issue, including but not limited to debt financing, placing of new Shares and open offer. Debt financing or bank loans would result in additional interest burden to and higher gearing ratio of the Group. Placing of new Shares would only be available to certain placees who were not necessarily the existing Shareholders and would dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders in the Company. As for open offer, although it is similar to a rights issue in offering qualifying shareholders to participate, it does not allow free trading of rights entitlements in the open market.

In view of the above, the Board (excluding the members of the Independent Board Committee whose opinion will be rendered after considering the advice from the independent financial adviser) considers that as compared to raising fund by other means, raising funds by way of the Rights Issue, which will allow Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the future development of the Company and at the same time offer more flexibility to the Qualifying Shareholders to choose whether to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interests in the Company and dealing with the Shares, is an appropriate fundraising method and is fair, cost effective, efficient and beneficial to the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

The following is the text of a letter of advice from Vinco Financial setting out its advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders prepared in respect of the terms of the Rights Issue and the transactions contemplated thereunder which has been prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular:

Vinco Financial Limited

20 March 2026

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of WLS Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE ON THE BASIS OF ONE (1) RIGHTS SHARE FOR EVERY ONE (1) ADJUSTED SHARE HELD AT THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON THE RECORD DATE ON A NON-UNDERWRITTEN BASIS

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee in respect of the terms of the Rights Issue and the transactions contemplated thereunder, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ‘‘ Board Letter ’’) contained in the circular dated 20 March 2026 issued by the Company to the Shareholders (the ‘‘ Circular ’’), of which this letter forms part. Terms used herein shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

Reference is made to the Announcement in relation to, among other things, the Capital Reorganisation, the Rights Issue, the Placing Agreement and transactions contemplated thereunder. The Board proposes, subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, to conduct the Rights Issue on the basis of one (1) Rights Share for every one (1) Adjusted Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders as at the Record Date at the Subscription Price of HK$0.24 per Rights Share, to raise up to approximately HK$86.2 million before deducting the expenses by way of issuing up to 359,177,526 Rights Shares (assuming there is no change in the total number of issued Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the Record Date other than as a result of the Capital Reorganisation).

The Company will provisionally allot to the Qualifying Shareholders one (1) Rights Share in nil-paid form for every one (1) Adjusted Share in issue and held on the Record Date. The Rights Issue will not be available to the Excluded Shareholders.

The estimated net proceeds of the Rights Issue (after deducting the estimated expenses in relation to the Rights Issue) will be approximately HK$83.2 million (assuming there is no change in the total number of issued Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the Record Date other than as a result of the Capital Reorganisation and the Rights Shares are fully subscribed). The Company intends to apply the net

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

proceeds from the Rights Issue for (i) the repayment of a portion of the Group’s borrowings; and (ii) the general working capital of the Group. There is no minimum subscription level or minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue.

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue will proceed on a nonunderwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptances of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

In accordance with Rule 10.29(1) of the GEM Listing Rules, as the Rights Issue will increase the total number of issued Shares or the market capitalisation of the Company by more than 50% within the 12-month period immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date (after taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation), the Rights Issue must be made conditional on approval by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM, and any controlling shareholders of the Company and their respective associates, or where there are no controlling shareholders, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors) and the chief executive of the Company and their respective associates shall abstain from voting in favour of the resolution relating to the Rights Issue at the SGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no controlling Shareholder and none of the Directors and their respective associates holds any Share. Accordingly, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in favour of the proposed resolution approving the Rights Issue at the SGM.

The Company has not conducted any rights issue, open offer or specific mandate placings within the 12month period immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date, or prior to such 12-month period where dealing in respect of the Existing Shares issued pursuant thereto commenced within such 12-month period, nor has it issued any bonus securities, warrants or other convertible securities as part of any rights issue, open offer and/or specific mandate placings within such 12-month period.

The Rights Issue will not result in a theoretical dilution effect of 25% or more. As such, the theoretical dilution impact of the Rights Issue is in compliance with Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules.

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Lo Ka Ki, Ms. Gong Qiuyun and Ms. Chan Ka Yee, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in connection with the Rights Issue, and to advise the Independent Shareholders on how to vote at the SGM, taking into account the recommendations of the Independent Financial Adviser.

HY2025 versus HY2024

With reference to Interim Report 2025, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$39.5 million for HY2025, representing a decrease of approximately 15.6% as compared with approximately HK$46.8 million for HY2024. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decrease in scaffolding, fitting out and other auxiliary services business during HY2025. The Group recorded a decrease of approximately 24.2% in gross profit from approximately HK$33.5 million for HY2024 to approximately HK$25.4 million for HY2025. Such decrease in gross profit was mainly due to the decrease in revenue mentioned above. The profit attributable to owners of the Company was approximately HK$76.0 million for HY2025 compared with a profit of approximately HK$30.5

– 44 –

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

million for HY2024. Such increase in net profit attributable to owners of the Company was mainly due to the significant increase in fair value on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss for HY2025 as compared to the corresponding period in 2024.

The Group’s unaudited total assets and total liabilities as at 31 October 2025 amounted to approximately HK$670.9 million and HK$217.2 million respectively. The Group’s unaudited net assets value amounted to approximately HK$453.7 million as at 31 October 2025, representing an increase of approximately 20.2% as compared to that of approximately HK$377.5 million as at 30 April 2025. Such increase in net assets value was mainly attributable to the increase in loan and interest receivables and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The gearing ratio of the Group, being calculated on the basis of the total debts divided by equity attributable to the owners of the Company then multiplied by 100%, was approximately 33.8% as at 31 October 2025 which was lower than that of the Group’s gearing ratio of approximately 40.4% as at 30 April 2025. The decrease in gearing ratio was attributable to an increase in equity attributable to the owners of the Company for HY2025, as a result from the significant fair value gain on financial assets at FVTPL and resulted in a lower level of gearing as at 31 October 2025.

FY2025 versus FY2024

With reference to Annual Report 2025, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$79.1 million for FY2025, representing a decrease of approximately 4.0% as compared with approximately HK$82.4 million for FY2024. Such decrease was mainly due to the revenue decreased in the scaffolding, fitting out and other auxiliary services segments for construction and buildings work during FY2025. The Group recorded an increase of approximately 2.8% in gross profit from approximately HK$50.7 million for FY2024 to approximately HK$52.2 million for FY2025. Such increase in gross profit was attributable to the increase in gross profit margin of the Group as a result of an increase in interest income and offset with the decrease in profit margin of scaffolding, fitting out and other auxiliary services for construction and buildings work. The loss attributable to owners of the Company decreased to approximately HK$6.8 million in FY2025 from approximately HK$11.1 million in FY2024. Such decrease in loss was mainly due to the fair value gain on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss which offset the increase in net impairment losses recognised under expected credit loss model.

The Group’s audited total assets and total liabilities as at 30 April 2025 amounted to approximately HK$585.1 million and HK$207.6 million respectively. The Group’s audited net assets value amounted to approximately HK$377.5 million as at 30 April 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 1.7% as compared to that of approximately HK$383.9 million as at 30 April 2024. Such decrease in net assets value was mainly attributable to the loss for the year ended 30 April 2025. The gearing ratio of the Group, being calculated on the basis of the total debts divided by equity attributable to the owners of the Company then multiplied by 100%, was approximately 40.4% as at 30 April 2025 which was higher than that of the Group’s gearing ratio of approximately 38.7% as at 30 April 2024. The increase in gearing ratio was attributable to the Company issued a new bond for the year ended 30 April 2025, together with a decrease in equity attributable to the owners of the Company as at 30 April 2025.

2. Reasons for the Rights Issue, the Placing and use of proceeds

As set out in the Board Letter, the Group is principally engaged in (i) the provision of scaffolding, fitting out and other auxiliary services for construction and buildings work; (ii) money lending business; and (iii) securities investment business.

Having reviewed the Interim Report 2025, we noted that:

  • (i) for the six months ended 31 October 2025, the Group recorded negative cashflow of approximately HK$7.6 million from operating activities as compared to positive cashflow of approximately HK$2.9 million from operating activities for the six months ended 31 October 2024;

  • (ii) as at 31 October 2025, the Group’s other borrowings (including interests) was approximately HK$153.6 million as compared to approximately HK$152.6 million as at 30 April 2025;

  • (iii) as at 31 October 2025, the Group’s bank balances and cash in general accounts amounted to approximately HK$3.9 million compared to approximately HK$15.6 million as at 30 April 2025.

Based on our discussion with the management of the Company, we also understand the operating performance of the Group with the uncertainty and regulatory pressure due to the recent fire tragedy in Hong Kong. Although scaffolding, fitting out and other auxiliary services for construction and buildings work have been the second largest business segment of the Group, in terms of revenue, for FY2025 and HY2025, the Group recorded loss from this segment during the aforesaid periods. Currently, the Group (i) has 12 projects on hand with total contract sum of approximately HK$134.9 million of which approximately HK$96.4 million has been billed; and (ii) participates in two tenders for new projects with total estimated contract sum of approximately HK$50.0 million and the awards of which have yet to be confirmed. Based on the current budget and progress of the existing projects, the Company expects the segment to be self-financing, requiring no significant additional capital in near future. For the two new projects that are under tender, the Company does not expect significant upfront costs to be incurred in early stage except administrative expenses. Given operating and administrative expenses (which covers overall administrative costs and staff salaries of the Group) have been the largest recurring costs of the Group, the intended allocation of net proceeds to the Group’s working capital would enable the Company to maintain its core function for strategic management of the Group’s development.

The Company is an industry pioneer in the scaffolding industry, possessing leading technology, such as smart climbing scaffolding. The Company will continue this business segment and explore suitable technology, to improve work safety and enhance cost control. Based on the above, we noted that the Company has no intention to allocate any net proceeds from the Rights Issue to this business segment.

– 46 –

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

Also, as for the money lending segment of the Group, the Group had an unaudited loan and interest receivables of approximately HK$458.23 million as at 31 October 2025 which falls due within one year. Given (i) the money lending segment was profit-making during the year ended 30 April 2025 and the six months ended 31 October 2025 and the Group is actively identifying new customers (in the 12 months prior to 31 October 2025, the Group identified ten new customers); and (ii) to support its ongoing demand for new loans, the Group has to retain capital from loan repayments, if received, upon maturity of existing loans as the Group intends to reinvest capital recovered from maturing loan. As such, we noted that the Company has no intention to change the capital scale of this business segment.

In view of the financial conditions and performance of the Group and the imminent need of capital, we concur with the view of the Directors that the Rights Issue represents a good opportunity to raise capital to repay its borrowings (comprising various interest-bearing bonds) and replenish its working capital. As disclosed in the Interim Report 2025, other borrowings of the Group was amounted to approximately HK$153.56 million (unaudited) as at 31 October 2025. Among these, interest-bearing bonds of the Group (with annual interest rates ranging from 6.5% to 11.0% and maturity dates falling between June 2023 and October 2025) in total amount of approximately HK$106.4 million (including interests) have already matured and fallen due as at the Latest Practicable Date. Although the Group is not aware of any enforcement actions for repayment initiated by the holders of the aforesaid matured bonds, it remains obligated to settle such outstanding amount to avoid potential legal actions and the accrual of further interests. Hence, the Company currently intends to prioritise repayment of those bonds with earlier maturity dates or higher coupon rates as soon as practicable following the completion of the Rights Issue and the Placing and after liaising with the relevant bond holders.

It is estimated that the Company will raise up to approximately HK$86.2 million from the Rights Issue and the relevant expenses would be approximately HK$3.0 million, which includes placing commission and professional fees payable to financial advisers, legal advisers, financial printer and other parties involved in the Rights Issue. The estimated maximum net proceeds from the Rights Issue will accordingly be approximately HK$83.2 million (equivalent to a net price of approximately HK$0.2316 per Rights Share). In line with the aforesaid business objectives, the Company intends to utilise the net proceeds from the Rights Issue as follows:

  • (i) approximately HK$73.0 million for repayment of a portion of the Group’s borrowings which have already matured as disclosed above; and

  • (ii) approximately HK$10.2 million as general working capital of the Group such as staff salary, lease of offices and warehouses and maintenance costs for the Group’s plant and equipment.

In the event that there is an undersubscription of the Rights Issue, the net proceeds of the Rights Issue will be utilised in proportion to the above uses. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds for (i) the repayment of the abovementioned mature but outstanding borrowings as soon as practicable after completion of the Rights Issue and the Placing which is currently expected to be June 2026; and (ii) the working capital of the Group for the financial year ending 30 April 2027.

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

With reference to the discussion with the management of the Company, the Board considers raising funds by way of the Rights Issue is a better alternative than other debt/equity fund raising alternatives such as bank borrowings, placing, or open offer. The Company has considered other fundraising alternatives before proceeding with the Rights Issue, including but not limited to debt financing, placing of new Shares and open offer. Debt financing or bank loans would result in additional interest burden to and higher gearing ratio of the Group. Placing of new Shares would only be available to certain placees who were not necessarily the existing Shareholders and would dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders in the Company. As for open offer, although it is similar to a rights issue in offering qualifying shareholders to participate, it does not allow free trading of rights entitlements in the open market.

Having considered the abovementioned alternatives, we consider that as compared to raising funds by other means, raising funds by way of the Rights Issue, which will allow Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the future development of the Company and at the same time offer more flexibility to the Qualifying Shareholders to choose whether to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interests in the Company and dealing with the Shares, is an appropriate fundraising method and is fair, cost effective, efficient and beneficial to the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

3. Principal terms of the Rights Issue

The Board proposes, subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, to conduct the Rights Issue on the basis of one (1) Rights Share for every one (1) Adjusted Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders as at the Record Date. Set out below are the details of the Rights Issue statistics.

  • (vii) a discount of approximately 81.00% to the net asset value of the Company of approximately HK$1.26 per Adjusted Share based on the unaudited net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$453.7 million as at 31 October 2025 and 359,177,526 Adjusted Shares in issue after adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation; and

  • (viii) theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules) represented by a discount of approximately 20.59%, represented by the theoretical diluted price of HK$0.324 per Adjusted Share (after taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) to the benchmarked price of approximately HK$0.408 per Adjusted Share (as defined under Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules, taking into account the higher of (i) the adjusted closing price of the Adjusted Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and (ii) the adjusted average closing price of the five (5) previous consecutive trading days prior to the Last Trading Day and taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation).

As set out in the Board Letter, the Subscription Price was determined by the Company with reference to, among other things, (i) the prevailing market price of the Existing Shares, details are disclosed under the paragraph headed ‘‘The Subscription Price’’ in this letter; (ii) the low liquidity of the Existing Shares, details are disclosed under the paragraph headed ‘‘Liquidity of the Shares’’ in this letter; (iii) the latest business performance and financial position of the Group, details are disclosed under the paragraph headed ‘‘Business and financial performance of the Group’’ in this letter; and (iv) the reasons for and benefits of the proposed Rights Issue as discussed in the paragraph headed ‘‘2. Reasons for the Rights Issue, the Placing and use of proceeds’’ in this letter. All Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares at the same price in proportion to his/her/its existing shareholding in the Company held on the Record Date so as to maintain their proportionate interests in the Company and participate in the future growth of the Group.

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have taken into account (i) the theoretical closing price per Adjusted Share for the one year period prior to and including the date of the Announcement (being a period of approximately one year prior to and including the Last Trading Day) (the ‘‘ Review Period ’’), with a view to provide a meaningful comparison to the Subscription Price under the Rights Issue (the ‘‘ Closing Price ’’); and (ii) the average daily trading volumes of the Adjusted Shares for each of the months/periods during the Review Period.

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

We consider that the Review Period is adequate to illustrate the recent price movement of the Adjusted Shares for conducting a reasonable comparison among the historical adjusted closing prices prior to the Announcement as (i) the 1-year period represents a reasonable period to reflect the performance of the closing price of the Adjusted Shares in response to the prevailing market condition and operating condition; (ii) a shorter review period can only demonstrate the Adjusted Share price performance in a limited and specific time which may be distorted by specific events; and (iii) it is commonly used for analysis purposes. Besides, such comparison is relevant for the assessment of the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, as the share price before the Announcement represent a fair market value of the Company, the Shareholders expected, while that after the Announcement, the value may have taken into account the potential upside of the Rights Issue which may distort the analysis. The chart below illustrates the Closing Price of the Adjusted Shares versus the Subscription Price of HK$0.24 per Share:

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

During the Review Period, the Adjusted Shares traded between a range of HK$0.40 on the following dates, (i) 29 to 31 December 2025; (ii) 20 to 23 January 2026; (iii) 26 to 28 January 2026; and (iv) 2 to 5 February 2026, and HK$1.56 on 31 March 2025 with an average closing price per Adjusted Share of approximately HK$0.80. The Subscription Price represents (i) a discount of approximately 40.00% to the lowest closing price per Adjusted Share (i.e. HK$0.40); (ii) a discount of approximately 84.62% to the highest closing price per Adjusted Share (i.e. HK$1.56); and (iii) a discount of approximately 69.86% to the average closing price per Adjusted Share (i.e. HK$0.80) during the Review Period.

As illustrated in the graph above, the closing price shows a general downward trend over the Review Period. Besides, we found the closing price was trading above the Subscription Price since commencement of the Review Period. The closing price per Adjusted Share fluctuated between HK$1.00 and HK$1.56 in February and March 2025. After reaching its highest Adjusted Share price on 31 March 2025, the closing price per Adjusted Share continued to drop and remained relatively stable within the range of approximately HK$0.92 to HK$1.20 in April 2025. From May 2025 onwards, the closing price per Adjusted Share gradually declined from approximately HK$1.00 to approximately HK$0.68 by late July 2025. A short rebound was observed in mid-August 2025, during which the closing price per Adjusted Shares rose to approximately HK$0.92, before resuming its downward trajectory. At the end of August 2025, the Company published the Annual Report 2025. The closing price per Adjusted Share continued to soften in the fourth quarter of 2025, falling to HK$0.60 by the end of October 2025 and reaching approximately HK$0.48 in mid-December 2025. At the end of December, the Company published the voluntary announcement regarding the review of the certification of scaffolding materials used at construction sites following the massive blaze at Wang Ful Court in Tai Po. The lowest closing price per Adjusted Share during the Review Period was HK$0.40, which persisted from 29 December 2025 to 28 January 2026, the day when the Company announced Interim Report 2025, and thereafter.

After reviewing the Company’s announcements, we do not notice any specific reasons for the aforementioned movements of the closing price during the Review Period. As discussed with the management of the Company, they were not aware of any particular reason that contributed to the fluctuations in the closing price per Adjusted Share during the Review Period aside from the aforementioned events.

Taking into consideration that (i) the Subscription Price falls below the aforesaid historical closing price per Adjusted Share range during the Review Period; (ii) the low liquidity of the Adjusted Shares as discussed in sub-section headed ‘‘Liquidity of the Shares’’ below in this letter; (iii) the funding needs of the Group for the repayment of a portion of the Group’s borrowing and the general working capital as discussed in the section headed ‘‘2. Reasons for the Rights Issue, the Placing and use of proceeds’’ above in this letter; (iv) the Subscription Price is within the range in the comparable analysis as discussed in the sub-section headed ‘‘Comparison with other rights issue transactions’’ below in this letter; and (v) the latest business performance and financial position as discussed in the sub-section headed ‘‘Business and financial information of the Group’’ above in this letter, we consider that the discount of the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

As illustrated in the above table, we noted that the average trading volume of the Shares ranged from approximately 3,288,235 Shares to 39,697,500 Shares during the Review Period, representing approximately 0.0229% to 0.2763% of a total of 14,367,101,072 Shares in issued as at the respective month or period with an average on the percentage of average daily trading volume throughout the whole Review Period of approximately 0.0948% of the total number of issued Shares as at the respective month or period. We also noted that the relatively high average daily trading volume of the Shares has been arising from November 2025 to February 2026. We have enquired with the management of the Company for the possible reasons and were advised that the Company was not aware of any other reasons regarding the active trading.

Based on the above results, we considered that the trading liquidity of the Shares during the Review Period were thin that the average daily trading volume of the Shares during the Review Period was below 1% of the total number of issued Shares, we consider that the Company is unlikely to be able to raise equity funds from third parties without a substantial discount on the prevailing Share prices. In light of the above, we consider that conducting a fund raising exercise by way of Rights Issue with Subscription Price set at a discount to the closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day is appropriate and reasonable as to promote the attractiveness of the Rights Issue.

Comparison with other rights issue transactions

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we exhaustively conducted a search of recent proposed rights issue three months prior to the Last Trading Day (the ‘‘ Comparison Period ’’) to understand the trend of the recent market practice. We consider that the Comparison Period is appropriate, fair and representative because (i) the comparables are considered for the purpose of taking a general reference for the recent market practice in relation to the rights issue exercise in the recent market conditions; and (ii) sufficient number of comparables were identified during the Comparison Period. Based on our research, we have identified an exhaustive list of 18 rights issue comparables (the ‘‘ Comparables ’’) during the Comparison Period.

We noted that the business activities and the terms of the rights issue of the Comparables may not be directly comparable to the business activities carried out and the terms of the rights issue announced by the Group due to the differences in business activities and performances. Although the Comparables included rights issue on different basis of entitlement, and involved issuers which engaged in different business or with different financial performance and funding needs from the Company, we consider that the Comparables are suitable to serve as general reference for the purpose of an assessment on the Subscription Price, as (i) all of the Comparables and the Company are listed on the Stock Exchange; (ii) our analysis is mainly concerned with the comparison of subscription price to closing price, NAV, maximum dilution on the shareholding and theoretical dilution effect; (iii) a three-month period for the selection of the Comparables has resulted in the generation of a reasonable sample size; and (iv) the Comparables were included without any artificial selection or filtering on our part. Since there are a sufficient number of Comparables under the selection criteria mentioned above, we are of the view that they represented a true and fair view and representative samples of the recent market trends for rights issue and are sufficient for assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Rights Issue.

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

Notes:

  1. Information shown in the above table has been extracted from the relevant announcements or circulars of the rights issue of the respective Comparables, where applicable.

  2. The potential maximum dilution effect of each rights issue is calculated as number of rights shares issued or to be issued under the basis of entitlement divided by the total number of shares as enlarged by the rights issue according to their respective basis of entitlements and assuming all rights shares have been/ will be allotted and issued times 100%.

  3. The net asset value (the ‘‘ NAV ’’) per share is calculated based on the latest published net asset value of the subject company and total number of shares in issue as at the date of the respective announcement. ‘‘N/A’’ denotes that the NAV of the relevant Rights Issue Comparable that has net liabilities according to its latest published audited/unaudited consolidated financial statements.

  4. The theoretical dilution effect is calculated in accordance with Rule 7.27B of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange or Rule 10.44A of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of the Stock Exchange (‘‘ GEM Listing Rule ’’), or extracted from announcement, circular or prospectus in respect of the relevant rights issue.

  5. Pursuant to Rule 7.21(1) of the Listing Rule or Rule 10.31(1) of the GEM Listing Rule.

  6. ‘‘N/A’’ denotes that the subject rights issue was conducted without the involvement of any placing.

  7. Mindtell Technology Limited (stock code: 8611) and Ta Yang Group Holdings Limited (stock code: 1991) are considered as outliers due to the significant premium of subscription price per rights issue share over the net asset value per share.

According to our research, we observed that (i) 15 of the 16 Comparables (exclude the outliers) had set the subscription price of their rights issue at a discount to the prevailing closing price of their shares on the last trading day in relation to their respective rights issue (the ‘‘ LTD Price ’’); (ii) 15 of the 16 Comparables (exclude the outliers) had set the subscription price of their rights issue at a discount to the average closing price per share for the last five consecutive trading days immediately up to and including the last trading day (the ‘‘ 5-Day Discount Price ’’); and (iii) 10 of the 16 Comparables (exclude the outliers) had set the subscription price of their rights issue at a discount to the NAV per share. It indicates that it is common for listed companies to set the subscription price of rights issue at a discount to the LTD Price, 5-Day Discount Price and the NAV per share, with the view to encourage participation.

The subscription price to the LTD Price of the Comparables (exclude the outliers) ranged from a discount of approximately 69.23 to a premium of approximately 26.58% with average and median discounts of approximately 25.73% and 26.06% respectively. The discount of approximately 40.00% of the Subscription Price to the LTD Price of the Company falls within the range of those of the Comparables (exclude the outliers) despite being higher than the average and the median of the Comparables (exclude the outliers).

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

The subscription price to the 5-Day Discount Price ranged from a discount of approximately 69.35% to a premium of approximately 31.23% with average and median discounts of approximately 25.33% and 26.71% respectively. The discount of approximately 41.18% of the Subscription Price to the 5-Day Discount Price of the Company falls within the range of those of the Comparables (exclude the outliers) despite being higher than the average and the median of the Comparables (exclude the outliers).

The subscription prices to the NAV per share of the Comparables (exclude the outliers) ranged from a discount of approximately 85.13% to a premium of approximately 79.09% with average and median discount of approximately 27.31% and 46.15% respectively. The discount of approximately 77.16% of the Subscription Price to the NAV per share of the Company falls within the range of those of the Comparables (exclude the outliers) despite being higher than the average and median of the Comparables (exclude the outliers). However, having considered that during the Review Period, the closing price of the Shares ranged between HK$0.01 to HK$0.039 per Share. The Shares traded at a discount to the NAV per Share on 206 out of 249 trading days, representing approximately 82.73% of the Review Period. This may suggest that investors might not value the Shares solely based on the Group’s net assets.

The theoretical dilution effect of the rights issue conducted by the Comparables (exclude the outliers) ranged from 1.67% to 24.51% with average and median discounts of approximately 13.37% and 13.47% respectively. The theoretical dilution effect of the Rights Issue of approximately 20.59% falls within the range of the Comparables (exclude the outliers) despite being higher than the average and the median of the Comparables (exclude the outliers).

Taking into account that (i) the Subscription Price generally falls below the Closing Price during the Review Period; and (ii) the discounts of the Subscription Price to the LTD Price, the 5- Day Discount Price, the NAV per Share and the theoretical dilution effect of the Rights Issue fall within discount ranges of the Comparables (exclude the outliers) despite being higher than the average and median of those of the Comparables (exclude the outliers), we have taken into account the following factors in determining whether the Subscription Price (together with its dilution effect) is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned: (i) it is common for listed issuers in Hong Kong to issue rights shares at a discount to prevailing market prices in order to enhance the attractiveness of the Rights Issue; (ii) the higher discount of the Subscription Price could enhance the attractiveness of the Rights Issue and encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue; (iii) having assessed Group’s negative cashflow from operating activities for HY2025 and the funding needs of the Group to repay of a portion of the Group’s borrowings and replenish its working capital as discussed in the above section headed ‘‘2. Reasons for the Rights Issue, the Placing and use of proceeds’’ in this letter, which we consider reasonable given the Group’s financial performance; (iv) the Rights Issue is considered to be a better financing alternative over bank borrowings, placing or open offer; (v) the theoretical dilution effect of the Rights Issue does not result in a theoretical dilution effect of 25% or more, which is in compliance with Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules; and (vi) all Qualifying Shareholders are offered an equal opportunity to subscribe for the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue and are offered the same discounts of the Subscription Price to the closing price of the Share

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

and the same potential maximum dilution. In light of the above, we are of the view that the Subscription Price (together with its dilution effect) is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and also in alignment with the market practice.

Among the Comparables (exclude the outliers), we noted that 8 out of 16 Comparables (exclude the outliers) exercise placing in their rights issues. As such, we consider that it is reasonable for rights issue to have placing arrangements.

The Placing Agreement

Extracted key terms of the placing agreement entered into on 6 February are shown below:

  • Issuer : the Company

  • Placing Agent : Suncorp Securities Limited, a licensed corporation to carry out Type 1 (dealing in securities) and Type 4 (advising on securities) regulated activities under the SFO, was appointed as the Placing Agent to procure, on a best effort basis, the Placees to subscribe for the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares during the Placing Period.

  • Placing price of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and/or the ES Unsold Rights Shares (as the case maybe)

  • : The placing price of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and/or the ES Unsold Rights Shares shall be not less than the Subscription Price.

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

Placees

: The Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares are expected to be placed to the Placee(s) who and whose ultimate beneficial owner(s) shall not be the Shareholder(s) and shall be the Independent Third Party(ies).

The Placing Agent will use its best endeavour to procure that (i) the Placing will not have any implications under the Takeovers Code and no Shareholder will be under any obligation to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code as a result of the Placing; and (ii) the Company will continue to comply with the public float requirement under Rule 17.37B of the GEM Listing Rules upon completion of the Placing and the Rights Issue.

For further details, please refer to section headed ‘‘The Placing Agreement’’ in the Board Letter. As stated in the Board Letter, the engagement between the Company and the Placing Agent for the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and ES Unsold Rights Shares (including the commission payable) was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Placing Agent and is on normal commercial terms with reference to the market comparables, the existing financial position of the Group, the size of the Rights Issue, and the current and expected market condition. We are of the view that it is on normal commercial terms with reference to 15 rights issue exercises (exclude the outliers) conducted by other companies listed on the Stock Exchange during the Comparison Period, the commission charged by placing agent in a rights issue exercise conducted on a non-underwritten basis generally ranged between 1.00% to 3.00%, with an average of approximately 1.72% and a median of 1.63%. Despite the rate of placing commission for the Rights Issue is slightly above the average and median of the Comparables (exclude the outliers), it is within the range of the Comparables (exclude the outliers) and based on our analysis and evaluation on the Subscription Price set out in this letter above, we consider that the placing commission of 2.5% in the present case to be in line with market practice and is fair and reasonable as far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Pursuant to Rule 10.31(1)(b) of the GEM Listing Rule, the Company must make arrangements to dispose of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares by offering the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares to independent Placees for the benefit of the Shareholders to whom they were offered by way of the rights. There will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the Rights Issue as stipulated under Rule 10.31(1)(a) of the GEM Listing Rules.

The Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares will be placed by the Placing Agent to independent Placees after the Latest Time for Acceptance on a best effort basis, and any premium over the Subscription Price for those Rights Shares that is realised will be paid to the No Action Shareholders and Excluded Shareholders on a pro-rata basis.

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

Given that the Compensatory Arrangements would provide (i) a distribution channel of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares to the Company; (ii) an additional channel of participation in the Rights Issue for independent Qualifying Shareholders; and (iii) a compensatory mechanism for No Action Shareholders and the Excluded Shareholders, we concur with the view of the Directors that the Compensatory Arrangements are fair and reasonable and would provide adequate safeguard to protect the interest of the Company’s minority Shareholders.

In particular, excess application is considered as a passive arrangement to facilitate additional participation of the Qualifying Shareholders. Taking into account the low liquidity of the Shares before the Last Trading Day, we consider it would be more desirable for the Company to adopt a more active measure by way of the Compensatory Arrangements to mitigate the uncertainty of the fundraising exercise.

Potential dilution effect

All Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares at the same price in proportion to his/her/its existing shareholding in the Company held on the Record Date so as to maintain their proportionate interests in the Company and participate in the future growth of the Group. Any Unsubscribed Rights Shares or ES Unsold Rights Shares remain unplaced under the Compensatory Arrangements will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly.

The changes in shareholding structure of the Company arising from completion of the Rights Issue are set out in the section headed ‘‘EFFECT ON THE SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY’’ in the Board Letter.

Immediately after the Capital Reorganisation and upon completion the Rights Issue, (i) assuming full acceptance by all Qualifying Shareholders under the Rights Issue; and (ii) assuming (a) no subscription by the Qualifying Shareholders; and (b) all the Placing Shares are placed to Independent Third Parties under the Placing, the shareholding interests of the Qualifying Shareholders will be diluted by up to a maximum of 50.00%, which fall within the range of the Comparables.

Despite any potential dilution impact of the Rights Issue on the shareholding interests of the Shareholders, the terms and structure of the Rights Issue are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, after taking into account the following factors: (i) the Qualifying Shareholders who do not wish to take up their provisional entitlements under the Rights Issue are able to sell the nil paid rights in the market; (ii) the Qualifying Shareholders who choose to accept their provisional entitlements in full can maintain their respective existing shareholding interests in the Company after the Rights Issue; (iii) the Rights Issue allows the Qualifying Shareholders an opportunity to subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares for the purpose of maintaining their respective existing shareholding interests in the Company at a relatively low price as compared to the recent market price of the Shares; and (iv) the discount of the Subscription Price to the current market price (taking into account the effect of

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

the Capital Reorganisation) will encourage them to participate in the Rights Issue, we are of the opinion that the potential dilution impact to the public Shareholders who do not participate in the Rights Issue as a result of the Rights Issue is acceptable.

Financial effects of the Rights Issue

Net tangible assets

In light of the above, we are of the view that the overall financial impact to the Group upon completion of the Rights Issue is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders. According to the ‘‘UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP’’ set out in the Appendix II to the Circular, the unaudited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to owners of the Company was approximately HK$453.59 million as at 31 October 2025, while the unaudited consolidated net tangible assets per Share before completion of the Rights Issue was approximately HK$1.26; upon completion of the Rights Issue, the unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company would increase to approximately HK$536.79 million, while the unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets per Share immediately after completion of the Rights Issue was approximately HK$0.75.

Gearing ratio and liquidity

According to the Interim Report 2025, as at 31 October 2025, the unaudited cash and cash equivalents of the Group was approximately HK$3.9 million. Immediately upon completion of the Rights Issue, the cash and cash equivalents of the Group is expected to increase by the expected net proceeds from the Rights Issue of approximately HK$83.2 million.

Upon the completion of the Rights Issue, the equity attributable to owners of Company would be enlarged by the expected net proceeds from the Rights Issue of approximately HK$83.2 million. The gearing ratio was approximately 47.9% as at 31 October 2025.

RECOMMENDATION

Taking into consideration of the principal factors and reasons as set out in this letter, in particular, (i) the Group’s negative cashflow from operating activities for HY2025; (ii) the increase in the Group’s borrowings in HY2025; (iii) the decrease in the Group’s bank balances and cash in general accounts; (iv) the funding needs of the Group to repay of a portion of the Group’s borrowings and replenish its working capital; (v) the Rights Issue being considered as a more preferential options as compared to other alternatives under the current circumstance of the Group; (vi) the positive impact on the Group’s liquidity position as a result of the Rights Issue; and (vii) the Qualifying Shareholders can maintain and even increase their shareholding interest in the Company by participating into the Rights Issue, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Rights Issue are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the Rights Issue including the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholder as a whole.

– 62 –

LETTER FROM VINCO FINANCIAL

Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Rights Issue and the transaction contemplated thereunder.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Vinco Financial Limited Alister Chung Managing Director

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The principal activities of the Group are the provision of scaffolding, fitting out and other auxiliary services for construction and buildings work, money lending business and securities investment business.

According to the Company’s interim report for the six months ended 31 October 2025, the Group recorded total revenue of approximately HK$39.5 million for the six months ended 31 October 2025, representing a decrease of approximately 15.6% from approximately HK$46.8 million for the six months ended 31 October 2024. Net profit attributable to owners of the Company for the six months ended 31 October 2025 was approximately HK$76.0 million, representing an increase of approximately 149.2% from approximately HK$30.5 million for the six months ended 31 October 2024. The decrease in revenue was mainly due to the decrease in scaffolding, fitting out and other auxiliary services business during the six months ended 31 October 2025. However, the increase in net profit attributable to owners of the Company was mainly due to the significant increase in fair value on financial assets through profit or loss for the six months ended 31 October 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in 2024.

Following a challenging year of 2025 marked by a slight revenue decline, the outlook for 2026 is cautiously optimistic, driven by a projected recovery in the Hong Kong construction market and sustained government infrastructure spending. The Group will continue to focus on scaffolding, fitting out and other auxiliary services for construction and buildings work; money lending and securities investment business. The Company’s core construction services segment is poised to benefit from an anticipated market rebound, though it must navigate intense competition and evolving safety regulations within the scaffolding industry.

After a period of weakness, Hong Kong housing prices are projected to rebound in 2026, potentially supported by interest rate cuts and demand from mainland Chinese buyers. A recovery in the private property market would directly stimulate demand for the Group’s fitting-out and scaffolding services for new developments and renovations. While, the fitting-out segment remains sensitive to the broader economic health and consumer confidence.

On the other hand, the scaffolding industry has become increasingly competitive. In response to demand from market development, many contractors have adopted the use of metal scaffolds instead of bamboo scaffolds nowadays. The general higher durability of metal scaffolds and the possibility of calculating load bearing capacity have shortened the time for training of workers. And recent safety concerns coming from the deadly fire tragedy, have prompted discussions about phasing out traditional bamboo scaffolding. The Group holds the view that the regulatory pressure may present an opportunity for the Group to gain market share if the Group can position itself as a provider of safer, modern, and more efficient scaffolding solutions.

After a few years of serious efforts to develop its money lending operations, the money lending business has generated stable income for the Year. The Group has adopted a more prudent and risk-averse strategy in its money lending segment, focusing on enhancing the requirements for loan approval, such as mandating asset or income proof provided by the borrowers. This cautious approach is expected to continue in 2026, prioritizing asset quality and risk mitigation over aggressive loan book expansion. The segment is likely to provide a steady, albeit modest, stream of interest income, provided the local economic environment remains stable.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

Looking ahead to 2026, the Group’s performance will be intrinsically linked to the positive momentum expected in the Hong Kong construction sector, particularly the government’s commitment to infrastructure and the forecast rebound in the property market. The Group is reviewing its existing asset structure and business strategies and may make adjustments to our existing assets structure, with the aim of consolidating our resources, so as to be flexibly prepared for uncertainties in the future. Meanwhile, the Group will strictly adhere to its cost control policy and swiftly adjust business strategies of its scaffolding business in response to ever-changing market dynamics to generate better financial returns for shareholders.

Finally, the Group will actively explore all suitable investment opportunities to diversify the Group’s business horizons and will work hard to strengthen overall business development. The Group’s business strategy is in line with the general direction of the government’s overall strategic development plans for property construction, infrastructure investment and financial market development.

6. PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The Directors are aware that the Group is exposed to various risks, including risks which are specific to the Group or the industries in which the Group operates. The Directors have established a policy to ensure that significant risks which may adversely affect the Group are identified, reported, monitored, and managed on a continuous basis. The Group has identified the following risks that are considered to be significant to the Group and which may adversely and/or materially affect the Group’s businesses, financial conditions, results of operations and growth prospects as at the Latest Practicable Date:

(a) Labour shortage

The Group’s scaffolding business and fitting out services business are labour-intensive. In the event that there is a significant increase in the costs and demand of labour and the Group has to retain its labour by increasing their wages, the Group’s staff costs and/or subcontracting costs will increase thereby lower the profitability. Further, if the Group or the Group’s subcontractors fail to retain the Group’s existing labour and/or recruit sufficient labour on a timely manner to cope with the need of the Group’s existing or future projects, the Group may not be able to complete the projects on schedule and within budget. The Group’s operations and profitability may be adversely affected.

In order to alleviate such risk, the Group is committed to providing our employees with a safe, pleasant and healthy working environment and competitive remuneration package with a view to retaining our labour.

(b) Failure to bid new contract

The Group’s scaffolding business relies on successful tenders of contracts for scaffolding works and/ or associated works. Given the nonrecurring nature of these contract awards and that the Group does not have long-term commitment with its customers, the number of contracts awarded to the Group may vary from year to year. Upon completion of the contracts on hand, the Group’s financial performance may be adversely affected if the Group is unable to secure new tenders or obtain new contract awards with comparable contract sums or at all. In order to alleviate such risk, the Group believes that it can leverage on the existing relationship with the major customers to further develop new business opportunities in the future.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

(c) Competition

The industries in which the Group operates are highly competitive, for example, the scaffolding industry and the money-lending industry. Areas of competition include contract price, production costs, marketing campaign, customer services and interest rates for money lending. If the Group does not respond timely to cope with the market conditions, it may adversely affect the consumer demand for the Group’s services and products, the reputation of the Group and the Group’s financial performance.

(d) Financial

The Group is exposed to financial risks, including credit, interest rate, currency, liquidity and other price risks. In addition, the Group’s equity instruments at FVTOCI (‘‘ fair value through other comprehensive income ’’) and financial assets at FVTPL (‘‘ financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ’’) are measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period. Therefore, the Group is exposed to equity security price risk due to the fluctuation of fair value of equity instruments at FVTOCI and financial assets at FVTPL.

The Group actively and regularly reviews and manages its capital structure to maintain a balance between shareholder return and a sound capital position. Adjustments are made, when necessary, to maintain an optimal capital structure in light of changes in economic conditions.

(e) Technology

The Group relies on information technology systems and networks, including internet and thirdparty hosted services for the Group’s operation, inventory management and financial reporting. Any material disruption or slowdown of information technology systems, such as a disruption or slowdown caused by failure to successfully upgrade the Group’s systems, system failures, viruses or cyber attacks could cause a loss of data or operation interruption. Therefore, the Group will continuously monitor and update, if necessary, relevant information technology systems and networks so as to reduce failure and keep up with the development of technology.

(f) Employees

The Group’s success and ability to grow depends largely on its ability to attract, train, retain, and motivate highly skilled and qualified managerial, workers, marketing, administrative, operating, and technical personnel. The loss of key personnel could materially and adversely affect the Group’s prospects and operations.

Notes:

  1. The condensed consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$453,585,000 as at 31 October 2025 is based on the condensed consolidated net assets of the Group attributable to owners of the Company as at 31 October 2025 of approximately HK$453,702,000 less right-of-use assets of approximately HK$117,000, as extracted from the published interim report of the Group for the six months ended 31 October 2025.

  2. The estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue of approximately HK$83,200,000 are based on one Rights Share to be issued at the Subscription Price of HK$0.24 per Rights Share and after deducting estimated related expenses, including among others, placing commission, legal and professional fees, which are directly attributable to the Rights Issue, of approximately HK$3,000,000.

  3. The Company has proposed the share consolidation of every forty (40) issued shares of the Company into one (1) consolidated share in this Circular (the ‘‘ Share Consolidation ’’). By way of illustration, the 14,367,101,072 shares of the Company in issue as at 31 October 2025 would be consolidated into 359,177,526 shares after the completion of the Share Consolidation (‘‘ Adjusted Share(s) ’’), assuming the Share Consolidation had been completed on 31 October 2025.

  4. The calculation of unaudited condensed consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to owners of the Company as at 31 October 2025 per Adjusted Share before the completion of the Rights Issue is based on the unaudited condensed consolidated net tangible assets of the Group as at 31 October 2025 of approximately HK$453,585,000, divided by 359,177,526 Adjusted Shares.

  5. The calculation of audited pro forma adjusted condensed consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to owners of the Company as at 31 October 2025 per Adjusted Share immediately after the completion of the Rights Issue is based on unaudited pro forma adjusted condensed consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company as at 31 October 2025 immediately after the completion of the Rights Issue of approximately HK$536,785,000, being the aggregate unaudited condensed consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the owners of the Company as at 31 October 2025 of approximately HK$453,585,000 and the estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue of approximately HK$83,200,000, divided by 718,355,052 Adjusted Shares which represents the sum of 359,177,526 Adjusted Shares and 359,177,526 Rights Shares (assuming no new shares are issued and no repurchase of shares on or before the Record Date) were issued immediately after the completion of the Rights Issue, as if the Rights Issue had been completed on 31 October 2025.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of WLS Holdings Limited (the ‘‘ Company ’’) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the ‘‘ Group ’’) by the directors of the Company for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma statement of adjusted condensed consolidated net tangible assets as at 31 October 2025 and related notes as set out on pages II-1 to II-2 of the circular issued by the Company dated 20 March 2026 (the ‘‘ Circular ’’).

REPORTING ACCOUNTANT’S RESPONSIBILITIES

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by GEM Listing Rules 7.31, on the unaudited pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

APPENDIX II UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the Rights Issue, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The unaudited related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the Group, the Rights Issue in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

OPINION

In our opinion:

  • (a) the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

  • (c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to GEM Listing Rules 7.31.
