The Company currently owns the Target Company as to 49.91%. Upon Closing, the Target Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Share Transaction

As the 2020 Acquisition and the 2021 Acquisition are expected to complete within a 12-month period, the 2020 Acquisition and 2021 Acquisition will be aggregated as a series of transactions pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules. As one or more applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the 2021 Acquisition, when aggregated with the 2020 Acquisition, are less than 5% but the considerations for the 2021 Acquisition will partly be satisfied by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares, the 2021 Acquisition constitutes a share transaction and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Connected Transaction

As at the date of this announcement, given that Little Smart is ultimately controlled by Mr. Lei, who is an executive director and chairman of the Company, Little Smart is considered an associate of Mr. Lei and is therefore a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Little Smart Sale constitutes a connected transaction of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rule) in respect of the Little Smart Sale does not exceed 0.1%, the Little Smart Sale constitutes a de minimis transaction under Rule 14A.76 of the Listing Rules and is not subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Mr. Lei has abstained from voting on the 2021 Acquisition at the Board meeting. Save as disclosed above, none of the Directors has any material interest in the transaction.

Shareholders and potential inventors should note that the 2021 Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and accordingly, the 2021 Acquisition may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are reminded to exercise caution when dealing the Shares and other securities of the Company.

THE 2021 ACQUISITION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated May 21, 2020 in respect of, among other things, the acquisition of 27.44% shareholding in the Target Company involving the issue of certain consideration shares under the General Mandate.

The Board is pleased to announce that on March 24, 2021 (after trading hours), the Company entered into the Shareholder Vendors Agreement with the Shareholder Vendors, pursuant to which, the Company has conditionally agreed to acquire, and each of the Shareholder Vendors has conditionally agreed to sell, the Sale Shares, representing an aggregate of 50.09% of the entire

issued share capital of the Target Company, at a total consideration of approximately US$204.73 million, which shall be satisfied (a) as to approximately US$176.28 million in cash; and (b) as to approximately US$28.45 million by the allotment and issue of 8,670,924 Consideration Shares, credited as fully paid, by the Company.

APPLICATION FOR LISTING

An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consideration Shares.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Share Transaction

As the 2020 Acquisition and the 2021 Acquisition are expected to complete within a 12-month period, the 2020 Acquisition and 2021 Acquisition will be aggregated as a series of transactions pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules. As one or more applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the 2021 Acquisition, when aggregated with the 2020 Acquisition, are less than 5% but the considerations for the 2021 Acquisition will partly be satisfied by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares, the 2021 Acquisition constitutes a share transaction and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Connected Transaction

Accordingly, the Little Smart Sale constitutes a connected transaction of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rule) in respect of the Little Smart Sale does not exceed 0.1%, the Little Smart Sale constitutes a de minimis transaction under Rule 14A.76 of the Listing Rules and is not subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Mr. Lei has abstained from voting on the 2021 Acquisition at the Board meeting. Save as disclosed above, none of the Directors has any material interest in the transaction.

Shareholders and potential inventors should note that the 2021 Acquisition is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and accordingly, the 2021 Acquisition may or may not proceed.
