CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given 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
Ms. Yip Tan has met the independence criteria under the GEM Listing Rules. Moreover, Ms. Yip Tan has given her confirmation of independence to the Company. With due consideration on the above factors, the Board believes that Ms. Yip Tan is independent to the Group.
Ms. Yip Tan holds directorships in not more than seven listed companies (including the Company) as at the Latest Practicable Date and would be able to devote sufficient time and attention to perform the duties required of an independent non-executive Director.
Based on the background of Ms. Yip Tan, including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, ethnicity, professional experience, skills and knowledge, it is believed that Ms. Yip Tan can contribute to diversity of the Board.
Having considered the above aspects and in view of the contribution that Ms. Yip Tan has made to the Board, her re-election will be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES
The Board proposes to amend the existing Memorandum and Articles for, among other things, (i) bringing the existing Memorandum and Articles up to date and in line with the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the applicable amendments made to the GEM Listing Rules and (ii) making certain minor housekeeping amendments to the Memorandum and Articles. The Board proposes to seek the approval of the Shareholders by way of special resolution at the Annual General Meeting to adopt the new Memorandum and Articles, in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, the existing Memorandum and Articles.
Details of the Proposed Amendments (marked-up against the existing Memorandum and Articles) are set out in Appendix III to this circular. The Chinese translation is for reference only. In case of any discrepancy or inconsistency between the English version and its Chinese translation, the English version shall prevail. The proposed adoption of the new Memorandum and Articles is subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of special resolution at the Annual General Meeting. Prior to the passing of the special resolution at the Annual General Meeting, the existing Memorandum and Articles shall remain valid.
The legal advisers to the Company as to Hong Kong laws and Cayman Islands laws have respectively confirmed that the Proposed Amendments conform with the applicable requirements under the GEM Listing Rules and are not inconsistent with the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands. The Company confirms that there is nothing unusual about the Proposed Amendments for a Cayman Islands company listed on the Stock Exchange.
The Board considered that the Proposed Amendments are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders. The resolution in relation thereto will be proposed at the Annual General Meeting as a special resolution.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required pursuant to Rule 13.08 and other relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules, to provide you with the requisite information for your consideration of the Repurchase Mandate.
1. STOCK EXCHANGE RULES FOR REPURCHASES OF SHARES
The GEM Listing Rules permit companies with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange to repurchase their shares on the Stock Exchange subject to certain restrictions.
The GEM Listing Rules provide that all proposed repurchases of shares by a company with a primary listing on the Stock Exchange must be approved by shareholders in advance by an ordinary resolution at a general meeting, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval of a particular transaction and that the shares to be repurchased must be fully paid up.
2. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 120,000,000 Shares.
Subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution granting the Repurchase Mandate and on the basis that and no Shares are issued or repurchased before the AGM, the Directors would be authorised to exercise the powers of the Company to repurchase a maximum of 12,000,000 Shares, being 10% of the number of Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM until the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by any applicable laws or the Articles to be held; or (iii) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company. The Shares repurchased by the Company shall, subject to applicable law, be automatically cancelled upon such repurchase.
3. REASONS FOR REPURCHASE
Although the Directors have no intention of exercising the proposed Repurchase Mandate, the Directors believe that the Repurchase Mandate is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to have a general authority from the Shareholders to enable the Directors to repurchase Shares in the market. Such repurchases may, depending on market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net asset value of the Company and/or its earnings per share and will only be made when the Directors believe that such repurchases will benefit the Company and the Shareholders.
– 11 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
4. FUNDING AND EFFECT OF REPURCHASES
Repurchases made pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate would be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Memorandum, the Articles, the GEM Listing Rules, and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
Under the GEM Listing Rules, a listed company may not repurchase its own shares listed on GEM for a consideration other than cash or for settlement otherwise than in accordance with the trading rules of the Stock Exchange as amended from time to time.
The Directors consider that, if the Repurchase Mandate was to be exercised in full, there might be a material adverse effect on the working capital and/or the gearing position of the Company as compared with the position as at 30 June 2022, being the date of its latest published audited financial statements. However, the Directors do not intend to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing position of the Company.
5. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange to exercise the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Memorandum, the Articles and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
6. EFFECT OF TAKEOVERS CODE AND PUBLIC FLOAT
If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases on the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purposes of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert (as defined in the Takeovers Code) could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge and belief the Directors and on the basis of the shareholding of the Company, the Directors are not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchases to be made under the Repurchase Mandate.
The Directors will not repurchase the Shares on GEM if the repurchase would result in the number of the listed securities which are in the hands of the public falling below 25%, being the relevant minimum prescribed percentage for the Company as required by the Stock Exchange.
7. SHARE PURCHASED BY THE COMPANY
The Company has not purchased any of its Shares (whether on GEM or otherwise) in the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.
– 12 –
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
APPENDIX I
8. DIRECTORS, THEIR ASSOCIATES AND CORE CONNECTED PERSON
None of the Directors and, to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of their respective associates, have any present intention, in the event that the proposal on the Repurchase Mandate is approved by Shareholders, to sell Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.
No core connected persons of the Company (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell Shares to the Company, nor have undertaken not to do so, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
9. SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Shares have been traded on GEM in each of the twelve months preceding the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Share price | ||
|---|---|---|
| Highest | Lowest | |

| (c) the instrument of transfer is lodged at the Office or such other place at which the Register is kept in accordance with the ~~LawA~~ct or the Registration Office (as the case may be) accompanied by the relevant share certificate(s) and such other evidence as the Board may reasonably require to show the right of the transferor to make the transfer (and, if the instrument of transfer is executed by some other person on his behalf, the authority of that person so to do); and |
