Guangzhou Xuantong Tongzhi Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership)* (廣州玄瞳同至投資合夥(有限合夥)), a shareholder of the Target Company, holding 15% of the equity interest in the Target Company as of the date of this circular
Pursuant to the Capital Injection Agreement, Mr. Chen will contribute RMB20,000,000 as registered capital of the Target Company and the registered capital of the Target Company will be increased from RMB30,000,000 to RMB50,000,000.

Basis of determination of the considerations for the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer (including the transfer of the Target Company to Xuantong Tongda and Xuantong Tonghe)
The considerations of the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer were arrived at after arm's length negotiations among the parties to the Capital Injection Agreement and Equity Transfer Agreements with reference to, among other things:
(i) the consideration paid up by the existing shareholders of the Target Company upon its incorporation which is RMB1 for registered capital of RMB1;
(ii) the current operations of the Target Company, encompassing its accumulated know-how and management expertise, as well as its strategic assets, including its established customer base, proprietary data assets, and institutionalized workflows, all of which underpin its long-term viability and competitive position;
(iii) the net liabilities of the Target Company; and
- 9 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(iv) the reasons and benefits to be derived by the Group from the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer as stipulated in the section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer” below.
With reference to the net liabilities of RMB16.8 million of the Target Company as of 31 August 2025, the consideration at RMB1 for registered capital of RMB1 payable by Mr. Chen and the Purchasers are justified by the current operations of and the initial costs incurred by the Target Company, encompassing its accumulated know-how and management expertise, as well as its strategic assets, including its established customer base, proprietary data assets and institutionalized workflows, all of which underpin its long-term viability and competitive position.
Future profitability is therefore contingent upon controlling initial R&D and fixed costs to achieve breakeven, a point on which the Group hold differing views from Mr. Chen and Purchasers’, regarding further capital injections. As a result, the Group decided not to participate in the further capital injections and agreed to accept the considerations under both the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer at RMB1 for registered capital of RMB1, in order to recover its original investments partially at cost upon the incorporation of the Target Company.
Having considered the factors in arriving at the considerations for the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer, as described above, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will give their view after taking into consideration of the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) are of the view that the considerations are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Conditions of the Capital Injection Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements to take effect
The Capital Injection Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements shall become effective on the date when the following conditions are met:
(1) the Capital Injection Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements have been signed by the legal representative/representative of executive partner or authorised representative of all parties and affixed their official seals;
(2) the Target Company has obtained the necessary approval(s) relating to the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer from the relevant PRC regulatory authorities;
(3) the Capital Injection Agreement and Equity Transfer Agreements contemplated thereunder have been approved by the Independent Shareholders of the Company at a general meeting; and
(4) all parties have conducted internal decision-making procedures such as convening board meetings and general meetings to review and approve the transaction.
The Capital Injection Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreement are inter-conditional; and the above conditions have not been fulfilled as at the date of this circular and are not waiverable.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to the Capital Injection Agreement, Mr. Chen shall pay the consideration for the Capital Injection in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association of the Target Company.
Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreements, Xuantong Tongda and Xuantong Tonghe shall pay the full amount of the Equity Transfer on 31 December 2027.

Use of Proceeds
Subject to the final audit, the Group is expected to recognise an unaudited gain of approximately RMB6.0 million from the Equity Transfer, calculated with reference to the difference between (i) the total consideration of the Equity Transfer; and (ii) the unaudited book value of the Target Company as at 31 August 2025. The actual gain on disposal to be recorded by the Group is subject to the net assets of the Target Company and incidental transaction costs to be determined upon completion of the Equity Transfer, and is subject to the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The proceeds from the Equity Transfer (i.e. RMB11,000,000) will be used by the Group to supplement its general working capital among which approximately RMB8,000,000 will be used for purchases from suppliers and approximately RMB3,000,000 will be used for employees' compensation. Upon completion of the Equity Transfer, the financial results of the Target Company will no longer be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Reasons for and Benefits of the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer
The acquisition of the Target Company by Mr. Chen is primarily driven by strategic, operational, and financial considerations. Since its incorporation in January 2024, the Target Company has been operating at a loss, which has adversely affected the overall financial performance of the Group. Continuing to inject capital into the Target Company would further strain the Group's resources and would not be conducive to maintaining its image in the capital market or safeguarding shareholder interests.
Transferring the Target Company to Mr. Chen will enable the Group to enhance capital efficiency by reallotting resources to business segments with stronger growth potential and higher investment returns. As of the date of this circular, our SaaS solutions comprise three business segments:
(i) Marketing cloud: This segment offers comprehensive CRM SaaS solutions that equip enterprises with a comprehensive digital marketing operations system. It is engineered to enhance precision marketing conversion by facilitating new client acquisition, stimulating engagement within the existing client base and enabling sophisticated customer relationship management.
(ii) Sales cloud: This segment provides CRM software that increases client operational efficiency through robust customer portrait analysis and predictive business opportunity identification.
(iii) Service cloud: This segment delivers intelligent CRM SaaS for customer service, leveraging a human-machine integration model. The solutions provide end-to-end support across the full industry chain, enabled by multi-channel client communication and integrated, full-process business management.
Following a re-assessment of its overall business layout and development strategy, the Group has decided to focus on core business segments, which includes marketing cloud and service cloud of SaaS, and also PaaS, with stronger competitiveness and long-term growth prospects. In line with this strategic realignment, the Group plans to gradually cease its self-operated sales cloud business, which is the principal operation of the Target Company. Allocating capital to other business areas with greater profitability is expected to generate higher returns and enhance overall shareholder value. The Group's decision not to participate in further capital injections into the Target Company is therefore consistent with its transformation, upgrading and sustainable development objectives.
In recent years, Mr. Chen's responsibilities within the Group have been gradually adjusted. Although he has consistently dedicated himself to contributing to Group's development during his tenure, as Group's business has evolved, Mr. Chen's work has also received increased support and assistance from other Directors and the management team. This collaborative model has also provided Mr. Chen with more space to focus on areas where he excels, such as the management and investment in the Target Company. Throughout this process, the Company's nomination committee has been closely monitoring the composition and development needs of the company's management
- 13 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
to ensure a smooth transition and the continuous development of the business. The existing Directors and management of the Company possess extensive industry experience and outstanding management capabilities. They have always played important roles in their respective positions and are well-equipped to effectively take over Mr. Chen's relevant responsibilities while continuing to drive the sustained development of the Company's various business operations.
Having considered the above factors, the Board is of the view that the Capital Injection Agreement and Equity Transfer Agreement was entered into on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
III. POST-COMPLETION CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS
Introduction
The existing sales cloud business of the Target Company involves the provision of technical services in respect of provision of sales cloud solutions to and procurement of technical services in respect of provision of cloud computing servers from the Group from time to time.
The existing business arrangements are as follows:
(i) both the Target Company and other members of the Group pursue contracts for provision of sales cloud solutions with end customers. The underlying technology of sales cloud is owned by Target Company, and therefore other members of the Group have to purchase sales cloud solutions in order to fulfill their performance obligations under their contracts with end customers; and
(ii) the Target Company's sales cloud solutions involve cloud computing servers. To deliver its sales cloud solutions to its end customers, the Target Company itself relies on cloud computing servers sourced from within the Group, which form an integral part of its cost of sales.
After the Completion, the Target Company will no longer be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group and will become an associate of Mr. Chen, and therefore a connected person as defined in Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. While the Group intends to downsize its business of sales cloud solutions after the Completion, this does not preclude the other members of the Group from continuing to deliver sales cloud solutions to existing customers and to pursue contracts with end customers for the provision of sales cloud solutions. This ongoing activity is supported by the established customer relationships of the Group. Over time, the proportion of sales cloud solutions channeled through the Group will decline as the Target Company increases its market exposure and secures more direct contracts with end customers. As these contractual arrangements for sales cloud solutions are subject to customer preference, the Group does not have a definite timeline to completely delineate the sales cloud business from its operations.
As a result, the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement was entered into by and between the Company and the Target Company, pursuant to which the Group will continue to procure technical services from and provide technical services to the Target Company from 1 December 2025 (subject to Shareholders' approval at the EGM and the Completion) to 30 November 2028.

On 20 October 2025, after trading hours, the Company and the Target Company entered into the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement, pursuant to which the Group will continue to (i) procure technical services from the Target Company; and (ii) provide technical services to the Target Company from 1 December 2025 (subject to Shareholders’ approval at the EGM and the Completion) to 30 November 2028.
The Technical Service Procurement Framework Agreement
Principal terms
Date: 20 October 2025 (after trading hours)
Parties: The Company
The Target Company
Major terms: According to the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement, the Target Company agrees to procure technical services from and provide technical services to the Group from time to time.
Term: The Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement shall be effective from 1 December 2025 (subject to Shareholders’ approval at the EGM and the Completion) to 30 November 2028.
Termination: Either party shall have the right to terminate the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement by serving thirty (30) business days’ prior written notice to the other party.
Pricing policy
(1) Regarding the technical service fees payables by the Group to the Target Company in respect of the provision of sales cloud solutions, the price negotiation mechanism in relation to the purchases of the sales cloud solutions from the Target Company involves the Group first agreeing the service fees with the end-customers (i.e. the Group’s selling price to the end-customers), which is then followed by the Group purchasing relevant technical services from the Target Company at a cost fixed at 98% of this selling price. The Board is of the view that the 2% profit margin can ensure that the above transactions are conducted on normal commercial terms and on terms no less favourable than those offered by independent third-party suppliers to the Group, which are mainly based on the following considerations:
(a) the sales cloud solutions are usually non-standardised solutions which are tailored to the requirements of the Group’s in the form processes, technical requirements and technical specifications according to end customers own needs. There are thus no market prices for the Target Company’s sales cloud solutions which are applicable;
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(b) the mark-up of 2% is in line with the Group's efforts in delivering the sales cloud solutions to its end customers; and
(c) under the current arrangement, the Target Company has been delivering sales cloud solutions to other Member of the Group at cost since the incorporation of the Target Company and such transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of the Group until the Completion.
(2) The technical service fees payable by the Target Company to the Group in respect of the provision of cloud computing servers will be determined on a "cost-plus" basis. On a "cost-plus" basis, the Group's cost of rentals of the servers plus a percentage mark-up of not be less than 2%. The Board is of the view that the mark-up rate of 2% can ensure that the above transactions are conducted on normal commercial terms and on terms no less favourable than those offered by the Group to independent third-party customers, which are mainly based on the following considerations:
(a) considering the Group's business model, the Group's provision of servers to its customers is generally ancillary to its SaaS and PaaS solutions, and it generally does not charge a markup for the delivery of servers;
(b) the mark-up of 2% is in line with the Group's minimal efforts in delivering the cloud computing servers from rented from suppliers; and
(c) under the current arrangement, the Group has been delivering cloud computing servers at cost since the incorporation of the Target Company and such transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of the Group until the Completion.
Based on the above, the Group will implement a series of internal control measures to ensure that the above fees and terms are fair and reasonable. For details, please refer to the paragraph headed "Internal Control Measures" below.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(iv) estimated Group's need for technical services for (i) the period from 1 December 2025 (subject to Shareholder's approval at the EGM and the Completion) to 31 December 2025, (ii) the year ending 31 December 2026; (iii) the year ending 31 December 2027; and (iv) the period from 1 January 2028 to 30 November 2028;
(v) estimated purchase amount for the technical services to be purchased by the Target Company from the Group for (i) the period from 1 December 2025 (subject to Shareholders' approval at the EGM and the Completion) to 31 December 2025; (ii) the year ending 31 December 2026; (iii) the year ending 31 December 2027; and (iv) the period from 1 January 2028 to 30 November 2028; and
(vi) the decreasing proportion of contracts for sales cloud solutions with end customers being channeled through other Members of the Group and an increasing proportion of business being secured by the Target Company directly. This shift is a direct result of the Group's strategic downsizing of its direct sales cloud operations.
Reasons for and Benefits of Entering into the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement
The Target Company has been in cooperation with other Members of the Group since its incorporation. It is the Group's exclusive sales cloud operator before the Completion and has engaged in continuous technical service procurement and provision with other Members of the Group from time to time. The Company believes that, despite the proposed changes in shareholding in the Target Company, the resumption of the current technical service exchanges with the Target Company and the arrangement for the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement will provide the greatest flexibility and reliability for the Group in its business, and provide stability to its services the Group's customers. In the long run, in line with the strategic realignment of the Group, the Group will gradually downsize its sales cloud business, stated in the section headed "II. Background — Reasons for and benefits of the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer" above, and reduce its reliance on such continuing connected transactions.
The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will give their view after taking into consideration of the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) are of the view that: (i) the transactions under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (ii) the proposed annual caps for the transactions under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Internal Control Measures
The following internal control measures have been implemented in order to ensure that the continuing connected transactions are conducted on normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole:
(i) the Group has established a series of measures to ensure that the transactions contemplated under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement will be conducted in accordance with the principal terms of the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement, including but not limited to the implementation of separate agreements governing each particular transaction must be approved by the internal control team to ensure that it is in accordance with the pricing policy;
(ii) the internal control team will keep proper documentation of the agreements governing each particular transaction entered into between the parties pursuant to the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement, and the internal control team will report to the audit committee on a quarterly basis whether the internal control measures in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement remain complete and effective;
(iii) the internal control team shall be responsible for monitoring the transactions contemplated under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement on a monthly basis to ensure such transactions are conducted in accordance with the terms of the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement and the transaction amounts do not exceed the annual caps as set out above;
(iv) the independent non-executive Directors will review the transactions contemplated under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement, at least annually, to ensure, among other matters, that such transactions are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms or better, and according to the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement and relevant agreements governing the transactions on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
For the six months ended 30 June 2024 and 2025
For the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Group's total revenue had a decrease of approximately 36.5% to approximately RMB410.9 million from approximately RMB647.5 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024. As disclosed in the 2025 Interim Report, such decrease was primarily due to the impact of regulatory policy adjustments in the domestic telecommunications industry, resulting in a decline in domestic revenue from the PaaS services and certain SaaS services. The Group's revenue from PaaS decreased by approximately 41.2% to approximately RMB166.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025 from approximately RMB282.4 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024, primarily due to the impact of regulatory policy adjustments in the domestic telecommunications industry. The Group's revenue from SaaS decreased by approximately 32.9% to approximately RMB245.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025 from approximately RMB365.1 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024, primarily due to the Company's proactive reduction of lossmaking projects, which aligns with the Company's strategic focus on expanding CRM SaaS services and targeting high-gross-margin businesses.
The Group's overall gross profit decreased by approximately 26.0% to approximately RMB75.0 million for the six months ended 30 June 2025 from approximately RMB101.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2024, while its overall gross profit margin increased from approximately 15.6% to approximately 18.2%. The increase in gross profit margin was mainly due to the increase in gross profit margin in SaaS from approximately 23.1% for the six months ended 30 June 2024 to approximately 26.5% for the six months ended 30 June 2025.
For the six months ended 30 June 2025, the Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately RMB25.9 million, while the loss attributable to owners of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2024 was approximately RMB6.4 million, which was primarily due to the strengthened regulation of the telecommunications industry in the first half of 2025, which resulted in a corresponding decrease in sales of the Group's PaaS and certain SaaS.
For the two years ended 31 December 2023 and 2024
For the year ended 31 December 2024, the Group's total revenue decreased by approximately 10.1% to approximately RMB1,151.3 million as compared to approximately RMB1,281.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2023. As disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report, such decrease was mainly attributable to the proactive reduction of businesses with low gross margins. The Group's revenue from PaaS decreased by approximately 39.2% to approximately RMB419.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 as compared to approximately RMB690.3 million for year ended 31 December 2023, primarily due to the Company's proactive reduction of businesses with low gross profit margins. The Group's revenue from SaaS increased by approximately 23.8% to approximately RMB731.9 million for the year ended 31
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
December 2024 as compared to approximately RMB591.0 million for the year ended 31 December 2023, primarily due to the (i) increase in clients' demand for its SaaS; (ii) enhanced functionality of its solution; and (iii) increase in number of its core clients and the average revenue per user for its SaaS.
The Group's overall gross profit increased by approximately 2.5% to approximately RMB209.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2024 as compared to approximately RMB204.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2023, while its overall gross profit margin increased from approximately 16.0% to approximately 18.2%. The gross profit margin in PaaS increased to approximately 6.3% for the year ended 31 December 2024 as compared to that of approximately 5.0% for the year ended 31 December 2023, primarily due to the reduction of businesses with low gross profit margins. The gross profit margin in SaaS decreased to approximately 25.1% for the year ended 31 December 2024 as compared to that of approximately 28.8% for the year ended 31 December 2023, mainly attributable to the changes in the revenue composition within this segment.
The Group recorded a profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately RMB6.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2024, compared with a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately RMB72.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2023, which was mainly attributable to (i) the Group's strategic emphasis on expanding SaaS with higher gross profit margins, thereby driving an increase in both overall gross profit and gross profit margins as SaaS expanded; and (ii) the implementation of effective cost control measures, which reduced sales and distribution expenses as well as administrative expenses.

Set out below is the audited financial information for the period from 31 January 2024 (date of incorporation) to 31 December 2024 and the unaudited financial information for the eight months ended 31 August 2025 of the Target Company:

The Target Company's net liability position and persistent losses since incorporation have negatively impacted the overall financial performance of the Group.
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
2. Reasons for and benefits of the entering into of the Capital Injection Agreement and Equity Transfer Agreements
As disclosed in the Letter from the Board in the Circular, the acquisition of the Target Company by Mr. Chen is primarily driven by strategic, operational, and financial considerations. Since its incorporation in January 2024, the Target Company has been operating at a loss, which has adversely affected the overall financial performance of the Group. Continuing to inject capital into the Target Company would further strain the Group's resources and would not be conducive to maintaining its image in the capital market or safeguarding shareholder interests.
Transferring the Target Company to Mr. Chen will enable the Group to enhance capital efficiency by reallotting resources to business segments with stronger growth potential and higher investment returns.
As of the Latest Practicable Date, the SaaS solutions comprise three business segments: (i) Marketing cloud: This segment offers comprehensive CRM SaaS solutions that equip enterprises with a comprehensive digital marketing operations system. It is engineered to enhance precision marketing conversion by facilitating new client acquisition, stimulating engagement within the existing client base and enabling sophisticated customer relationship management; (ii) Sales cloud: This segment provides CRM software that increases client operational efficiency through robust customer portrait analysis and predictive business opportunity identification; and (iii) Service cloud: This segment delivers intelligent CRM SaaS for customer service, leveraging a human-machine integration model. The solutions provide end-to-end support across the full industry chain, enabled by multi-channel client communication and integrated, full-process business management.
Following a re-assessment of its overall business layout and development strategy, the Group has decided to focus on core business segments, which includes marketing cloud and service cloud of SaaS, and also PaaS, with stronger competitiveness and long-term growth prospects. In line with this strategic realignment, the Group plans to gradually cease its self-operated sales cloud business, which is the principal operation of the Target Company. Allocating capital to other business areas with greater profitability is expected to generate higher returns and enhance overall shareholder value. The Group's decision not to participate in further capital injections into the Target Company is therefore consistent with its transformation, upgrading and sustainable development objectives.
In recent years, Mr. Chen's responsibilities within the Group have been gradually adjusted. Although he has consistently dedicated himself to contributing to Group's development during his tenure, as Group's business has evolved, Mr. Chen's work has also received increased support and assistance from other Directors and the management team. This collaborative model has also provided Mr. Chen with more space to focus on areas where he excels, such as the management and investment in the Target Company. Throughout this process, the Company's nomination committee has been closely monitoring the composition and development needs of the company's management to ensure a smooth transition and the continuous development of the business. The existing Directors and management of the Company possess extensive industry experience and outstanding
- 36 -
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
management capabilities. They have always played important roles in their respective positions and are well-equipped to effectively take over Mr. Chen's relevant responsibilities while continuing to drive the sustained development of the Company's various business operations.
In the view that (i) upon Completion, the Group will continue to enjoy the investment benefit from the growth in the Target Company's business leveraging on the resources brought by Mr. Chen, Xuantong Tongda and Xuantong Tonghe; (ii) the Target Company's net liability position and persistent losses since its incorporation have negatively impacted the overall financial performance of the Group; (iii) the allocation of more resources on the core business segments with stronger competitiveness and long-term growth prospects; (iv) the Capital Increase will allow the Company to enjoy the benefits of the Target Company largely as an investment without creating any unnecessary financial burden to the Company with respect to alternative fundraising or potential contingent liabilities; and (v) the proceeds from the Equity Transfer will supplement the Target Company's general working capital, despite that the Capital Increase and Equity Transfer is not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, we concur with the Directors that the Capital Increase and Equity Transfer and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. Principal terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement
Date: 20 October 2025 (after trading hour)
Parties:
1. The Vendor
2. Xuantong Tongda
3. Xuantong Tonghe
Consideration: The Vendor shall transfer approximately 16.67% and 20.00% of the total registered capital of the Target Company to Xuantong Tongda and Xuantong Tonghe at considerations of RMB5,000,000 and RMB6,000,000, respectively.

However, if Xuantong Tongda and Xuantong Tonghe fail to pay the consideration within the aforementioned timeframe, the payment date for the transfer price shall be separately negotiated by both parties.
5. Basis of determination of the consideration of the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer
As disclosed in the Letter from the Board in the Circular, the consideration of the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations among the parties to the Capital Injection Agreement and Equity Transfer Agreements with reference to, among other things:
(i) the consideration paid up by the existing shareholders of the Target Company upon its incorporation which is RMB1 for registered capital of RMB1;
(ii) the current operations of the Target Company, encompassing its accumulated know-how and management expertise, as well as its strategic assets, including its established customer base, proprietary data assets, and institutionalized workflows, all of which underpin its long-term viability and competitive position;
(iii) the net liabilities of the Target Company; and
(iv) the reasons and benefits to be derived by the Group from the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer as stipulated in the section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer” in the letter from the Board of the Circular.
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
With reference to the net liabilities of RMB16.8 million of the Target Company as of 31 August 2025, the consideration at RMB1 for registered capital of RMB1 payable by Mr. Chen and the Purchasers are justified by the current operations of and the initial costs incurred by the Target Company, encompassing its accumulated know-how and management expertise, as well as its strategic assets, including its established customer base, proprietary data assets and institutionalized workflows, all of which underpin its long-term viability and competitive position.
Future profitability is therefore contingent upon controlling initial R&D and fixed costs to achieve breakeven, a point on which the Group hold differing views from Mr. Chen and Purchasers', regarding further capital injections. As a result, the Group decided not to participate in the further capital injections and agreed to accept the considerations under both the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer at RMB1 for registered capital of RMB1, in order to recover its original investments partially upon the incorporation of the Target Company.
To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the consideration for the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer, given that the Target Company's net liability position and has been loss-making, we have conducted the trading multiples analysis namely the price-to-sales multiples (the "P/S Ratio"). To perform such analysis, we have conducted research on companies (i) listed on the Stock Exchange which are principally engaged in SaaS or IT solution in the PRC and Hong Kong, which at least 50% of their revenue contributing from such business based on their latest published annual reports available as at the date of the Capital Injection Agreement and Equity Transfer Agreements; and (ii) with a market capitalisation lower than the Company (i.e. HK$612.5 million as at the date of the Capital Injection Agreement and Equity Transfer Agreements). Based on the aforesaid criteria, we have identified 11 companies (the "Comparable Companies"), which is an exhaustive list according to our research on the website of the Stock Exchange. Although the market capitalisations of the Comparable Companies exceed that of the Target Company, this analysis remains meaningful, as it captures recent market sentiment toward listed peers in the similar sector, thereby providing a relevant benchmark for valuation multiples in the current environment.

Notes:
- The market capitalisation of the Comparable Companies were calculated with their respective share price and shares in issue as at the date of the Capital Injection Agreement and Equity Transfer Agreements.
- The P/S Ratios of the Comparable Companies are calculated based on the market capitalisation of the respective companies divided by the revenue of the Comparable Companies as referenced from their most recently published annual results as at the date of the Capital Injection Agreement and Equity Transfer Agreements.
-
The market capitalisation and the P/S Ratio of the Target Company were calculated based on the implied market capitalisation (derived by the amount of registered capital of the Target Company as at the date of the Agreement and the implied RMB1 per registered capital based on the Capital Increase Agreement and Equity Transfer Agreement) and revenue of the Target Company for the eight months ended 31 August 2025 on pro-rata basis.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
As shown from the above, the P/S Ratio of the Target Company of 0.50 times is higher than the average of the P/S Ratios of the Comparable Companies of 0.40 times. We have noted that (i) the P/S Ratio implied for the Target Company is higher than the average of the Comparable Companies; (ii) the insignificant revenue contributions of Target Company to the Group's revenue and their consecutive loss making performance since its incorporation; and (iii) the consideration for the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer represents a premium over the net liability value of the Target Company. Furthermore, as the Target Company is a privately held entity, its shares lack the ready marketability of those in publicly listed companies, making it more difficult to convert such shares into cash. A discount for lack of marketability ("DLOM") is therefore commonly applied in valuations of private companies to reflect the liquidity differential between the shares of the Target Company and those of the selected publicly traded Comparable Companies. The application of an appropriate DLOM would result in a higher adjusted P/S Ratio for the Target Company, further justifying the consideration of the Target Company. As such we consider that the terms of the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable.
6. Financial effects of the Capital Injection and Equity Transfer and the use of proceeds
Upon Completion of the Capital Injection and the Equity Transfer, the Target Company will cease to be subsidiary of the Company, and the financial results of the Target Company will no longer be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Subject to the final audit, the Group is expected to recognise an unaudited gain of approximately RMB6.0 million from the Equity Transfer, calculated with reference to the difference between (i) the total consideration of the Equity Transfer; and (ii) the aggregate of the unaudited book value of the Target Company as at 31 August 2025. The actual gain on disposal to be recorded by the Group is subject to the net assets of the Target Company and incidental transaction costs to be determined upon completion of the Equity Transfer.
The proceeds from the Equity Transfer (i.e. RMB11,000,000) will be used by the Group to supplement its general working capital, among which approximately RMB8,000,000 will be used for purchases from suppliers and approximately RMB3,000,000 will be used for employees' compensation.
7. Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement
As disclosed in the Letter from the Board in the Circular, the existing sales cloud business of the Target Company involves the provision of technical services in respect of provision of sales cloud solutions to and procurement of technical services in respect of provision of cloud computing servers from the Group from time to time.
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
The existing business arrangements are as follows:
(i) both the Target Company and other members of the Group pursue contracts for provision of sales cloud solutions with end customers. The underlying technology of sales cloud is owned by Target Company, and therefore other members of the Group have to purchase sales cloud solutions in order to fulfill their performance obligations under their contracts with end customers; and
(ii) the Target Company’s sales cloud solutions involve cloud computing servers. To deliver its sales cloud solutions to its end customers, the Target Company itself relies on cloud computing servers sourced from within the Group, which form an integral part of its cost of sales.
After the Completion, the Target Company will no longer be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group and will become an associate of Mr. Chen, and therefore a connected person as defined in Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. While the Group intends to downsize its business of sales cloud solutions after the Completion, this does not preclude the other members of the Group from continuing to deliver sales cloud solutions to existing customers and to pursue contracts with end customers for the provision of sales cloud solutions. This ongoing activity is supported by the established customer relationships of the Group. Over time, the proportion of sales cloud solutions channeled through the Group will decline as the Target Company increases its market exposure and secures more direct contracts with end customers. As these contractual arrangements for sales cloud solutions are subject on customer preference, the Group does not have a definite timeline to completely delineate the sales cloud business from its operations.
As a result, the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement was entered into by and between the Company and the Target Company, pursuant to which the Group will continue to procure technical services from and provide technical services to the Target Company from 1 December 2025 (subject to Shareholders’ approval at the EGM and the Completion) to 30 November 2028.
8. Principal terms of the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement
The following sets forth the principal terms of the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement. For detailed terms of the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement, please refer to the section headed “The Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement” in the letter from the Board of the Circular.
Date: 20 October 2025 (after trading hours)
Parties:
1. The Company
2. The Target Company
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Major terms: According to the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement, the Target Company agrees to procure technical services from and provide technical services to the Group from time to time.
Terms: The Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement shall be effective from 1 December 2025 (subject to Shareholders’ approval at the EGM and the Completion) to 30 November 2028.
Termination: Either party shall have the right to terminate the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement by serving thirty (30) business days’ prior written notice to the other party.
Pricing Policy: 1. Regarding the technical service fees payables by the Group to the Target Company in respect of the provision of sales cloud solutions, the price negotiation mechanism in relation to the purchases of the sales cloud solutions from the Target Company involves the Group first agreeing the service fees with the end-customers (i.e. the Group’s selling price to the end-customers), which is then followed by the Group purchasing relevant technical services from the Target Company at a cost fixed at 98% of this selling price. The Board is of the view that the 2% profit margin can ensure that the above transactions are conducted on normal commercial terms and on terms no less favourable than those offered by independent third-party suppliers to the Group, which are mainly based on the following considerations:
(a) the sales cloud solutions are usually non-standardised solutions which are tailored to the requirements of the Group’s in the form processes, technical requirements and technical specifications according to end customers own needs. There are thus no market prices for the Target Company’s sales cloud solutions which are applicable;
(b) the mark-up of 2% is in line with the Group’s efforts in delivering the sales cloud solutions to its end customers; and
– 43 –
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
(c) under the current arrangement, the Target Company has been delivering sales cloud solutions to other Member of the Group at cost since the incorporation of the Target Company and such transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of the Group until the Completion.
- The technical service fees payable by the Target Company to the Group in respect of the provision of cloud computing servers will be determined on a “cost-plus” basis. On a “cost-plus” basis, the Group’s cost of rentals of the servers plus a percentage mark-up of not be less than 2%. The Board is of the view that the mark-up rate of 2% can ensure that the above transactions are conducted on normal commercial terms and on terms no less favourable than those offered by the Group to independent third-party customers, which are mainly based on the following considerations:
(a) considering the Group’s business model, the Group’s provision of servers to its customers is generally ancillary to its SaaS and PaaS solutions, and it generally does not charge a markup for the delivery of servers;
(b) the mark-up of 2% is in line with the Group’s minimal efforts in delivering the cloud computing servers from rented from suppliers; and
(c) under the current arrangement, the Group has been delivering cloud computing servers at cost since the incorporation of the Target Company and such transactions are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements of the Group until the Completion.
Despite the Company’s view that its marketing cloud and service cloud segment offers stronger competitiveness and long-term growth prospects, it remains essential for the Group to deliver stable and reliable services to its existing customers. Entering into the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement is therefore crucial, as it ensures continuity and high-quality support for these clients, even if alternative business segments may yield higher margin. By prioritizing customer satisfaction and retention, the Group could fosters enduring relationships that can drive sustained value for Shareholders over time.

As advised by the Management, the sales cloud solutions provided by the Target Company are highly customized and tailored to the Group's specific operational requirements, enabling seamless delivery of services to end-customers. The SaaS services comprise marketing cloud, sales cloud and service cloud, which integrate the traditional CRM functions with cloud, upgraded and encapsulated communication capabilities as well as artificial intelligence (AI) and data intelligence (DI) capabilities to offer clients a one-stop intelligent CRM services throughout their entire business cycle, from initial marketing to after-sales services. Given this intricate ecosystem, sourcing analogous services from independent third-party suppliers would be not only impractical but also inefficient and costly, demanding significant time, technical expertise, and resources to achieve comparable integration without disrupting existing workflows or compromising service quality. Such challenges could lead to operational downtime, increased implementation risks, and potential loss of competitive edge. Therefore, we concur with the Company's assessment that no directly comparable market prices exist for the Target Company's sales cloud solutions under these unique circumstances.
Conversely, the Target Company does not operate as a primary provider of cloud computing servers to independent customers; these servers are exclusively dedicated to underpinning the Group's SaaS and PaaS offerings for its end-customers. Given the current scale of these server operations is minimal, it is neither commercially viable nor strategically aligned for the Group to expand into standalone server rental services for external parties. In this regard, we concur that the Group's provision of such servers to the Target Company is conducted on normal commercial terms and is no less favorable than those extended to independent third-party customers.
Furthermore, as detailed in the section headed "1.3 Information of the Target Company", the Target Company has consistently incurred losses since its incorporation, with a net loss of approximately RMB14.4 million for the eight months ended 31 August 2025 and contributing to net liabilities of RMB16.8 million. These persistent deficits have exerted a material drag on the Group's consolidated financial performance. The proposed Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement offers a compelling solution, which allows the Group to sustain uninterrupted service to its end-customers, thereby preserving valuable client relationships and revenue streams, and at the same time deriving economic benefits without the burden of consolidating the Target Company's losses. Simultaneously, the Group benefits from a guaranteed $2\%$ profit margin on the sales cloud transactions and an equivalent $2\%$ mark-up on server rentals, which will also increase the profitability of the Group. As such, we are of the view that the pricing policy is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

9. Reasons for and Benefits of entering into the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement
As disclosed in the Letter from the Board in the Circular, the Target Company has been in cooperation with other Members of the Group since its incorporation. It is the Group's exclusive sales cloud operator before the Completion and has engaged in continuous technical service procurement and provision with other Members of the Group from time to time. The Company believes that, despite the proposed changes in shareholding in the Target Company, the resumption of the current technical service exchanges with the Target Company and the arrangement for the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement will provide the greatest flexibility and reliability for the Group in its business and provide stability to its services the Group's customers. In the long run, in line with the strategic realignment of the Group, the Group will gradually downsize its sales cloud business, stated in the section headed "2. Reasons for and benefits of the entering into of the Capital Injection Agreement and Equity Transfer Agreements" above, and reduce its reliance on such continuing connected transactions.
Taking into account (i) the transactions contemplated under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement could ensure the stable provision of services to the Group's end customers in order to retain existing customers; (ii) the principal terms of the transactions contemplated under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement are on normal commercial terms; (iii) the transactions contemplated under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement could provide the Group with additional income and the Target Company is a reliable service provider, given that the Target Company has been in cooperation with other Members of the Group since its incorporation; (iv) the pricing policy ensure that the Group derives commercial benefits from the relevant transactions while mitigating any risk of loss, as the fees payable by the Group to the Target Company for sales cloud solutions and the fees payable by the Target Company to the Group for cloud computing servers will be determined on basis with 2% profit margin and 2% mark-up respectively, which could provide additional income; (v) the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement are not exclusive in nature and offered the Group with flexibilities to conduct business with the Target Company; and (vi) the internal control measures in place to ensure that the transactions contemplated under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement are conducted in accordance with their terms and conditions (as discussed in the section headed "11. Internal control measures" below), we concur with the Directors that the transactions contemplated under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement, which are conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and we are of the view that the terms of the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable.

10. Annual caps and basis of determination
The table below sets out the annual cap in respect of the fees payable under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement for each year from the 1 December 2025 (subject to Shareholders' approval at the EGM and the Completion) to 30 November 2028:
| Relevant services and fee | From 1 December 2025 to 31 December 2025 (subject to Shareholders' approval at the EGM and the Completion RMB'000 | For the year ending 31 December 2026 RMB'000 | For the year ending 31 December 2027 RMB'000 | From 1 January 2028 to 30 November 2028 RMB'000 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical service fees payable by the Group to the Target Company | 9,500 | 53,300 | 54,800 | 44,400 |
| Technical service fees payable by the Target Company to the Group | 2,500 | 14,000 | 14,000 | 11,500 |
As disclosed in the Letter from the Board of the Circular, the following factors have been considered to determine the annual caps:
(i) historical purchase amount of the technical services payable by the Group to the Target Company during the period from 31 January 2024 (date of incorporation of the Target Company) to 31 December 2024 and the eight months ended 31 August 2025 which amounted to approximately RMB75,500,000 and approximately RMB26,400,000, respectively;
(ii) historical purchase amount of the technical services payable by the Target Company to the Group during the period from 31 January 2024 (date of incorporation of the Target Company) to 31 December 2024 and the eight months ended 31 August 2025 which amounted to approximately RMB61,700,000 and approximately RMB10,900,000, respectively;
(iii) purchase orders budgeted to be made for (i) the period from 1 December 2025 (subject to Shareholders' approval at the EGM and the Completion) to 31 December 2025, (ii) the year ending 31 December 2026; (iii) the year ending 31 December 2027; and (iv) the period from 1 January 2028 to 30 November 2028;
(iv) estimated Group's need for technical services for (i) the period from 1 December 2025 (subject to Shareholders' approval at the EGM and the Completion) to 31 December 2025, (ii) the year ending 31 December 2026; (iii) the year ending 31 December 2027; and (iv) the period from 1 January 2028 to 30 November 2028;
- 47 -
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
(v) estimated purchase amount for the technical services to be purchased by the Target Company from the Group for (i) the period from 1 December 2025 (subject to Shareholders’ approval at the EGM and the Completion) to 31 December 2025; (ii) the year ending 31 December 2026; (iii) the year ending 31 December 2027; and (iv) the period from 1 January 2028 to 30 November 2028; and
(vi) the decreasing proportion of contracts for sales cloud solutions with end customers being channeled through other Members of the Group and an increasing proportion of business being secured by the Target Company directly. This shift is a direct result of the Group’s strategic downsizing of its direct sales cloud operations.
The technical service fees payable by the Group to the Target Company are derived based on the historical amount and current contract signed with the clients in relation to the provision of sales cloud services. We have obtained and reviewed the calculation in formulating the proposed annual caps from the Company and noted that the components of the proposed annual cap were (a) the number of clients subscribed for the sales cloud services; and (b) the estimated service fee or subscription fee for the sales cloud services, which is based on the types of services involves and types of customers and the industries they are involved in.
The technical service fees payable by the Target Company to the Group primarily consist of rental fees for cloud computing servers used to deliver the Target Company’s sales cloud services. Currently, the Target Company utilizes cloud computing servers provided by the Group. The Company anticipates no significant changes to the leasing arrangement for these servers in coming three years. From our review, the annual caps for the technical service fees payable by the Target Company to the Group are mainly derived from the historical purchase amount for the eight months ended 31 August 2025.
As advised by the Company, following Mr. Chen’s capital injection into the Target Company, the Target Company is expected to experience a business growth in terms of revenue. However, the Company has indicated that it does not intend to allocate additional resources to support the increased demand from the Target Company. Instead, it will continue to focus on its core business segments. The ongoing provision of sales cloud services is intended to retain existing customers and to offer more comprehensive solutions to both current and potential customers.
Based on the above, we are of the view that such proposed annual caps under the Technical Services Procurement Framework Agreement were determined based on reasonable estimation and after due and careful consideration. Taking into account the fact that the proposed annual caps provide the Group with flexibility to conduct business with the Target Company, we are of the view that such proposed annual caps are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

- 49 -
LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
(iii) were not entered into, in all material respects, in accordance with the relevant agreements governing them; and
(iv) have exceeded the relevant annual caps;
