CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

The purpose of this circular is to give you notice of the 2026 AGM and provide you with information regarding the above resolutions to be proposed at the 2026 AGM, to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against those resolutions.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
ISSUE MANDATE
At the 2025 AGM, a general and unconditional mandate was granted to the Directors to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares, where such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the 2026 AGM. Therefore, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2026 AGM to grant the Issue Mandate to the Directors. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the Issue Mandate, based on the 1,000,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares will be issued, repurchased and/or cancelled after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the 2026 AGM, the Directors will be authorised to allot, issue and deal with additional Shares and/or to sell or transfer Treasury Shares (if any) up to a total of 200,000,000 Shares, being 20% of the aggregate number of the issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) as at the date of the resolution in relation thereto. The Issue Mandate, if granted at the 2026 AGM, will end at the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next AGM; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required to be held by the Articles or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.
REPURCHASE MANDATE
At the 2025 AGM, a general and unconditional mandate was granted to the Directors to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase Shares, where such mandate will lapse at the conclusion of the 2026 AGM. Therefore, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2026 AGM to grant the Repurchase Mandate to the Directors. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the grant of the Repurchase Mandate, based on the 1,000,000,000 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that no further Shares will be issued, repurchased and/or cancelled after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the 2026 AGM, the maximum number of Shares which may be repurchased pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate will be 100,000,000 Shares, being 10% of the aggregate number of the issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) as at the date of the resolution in relation thereto. The Repurchase Mandate, if granted at the 2026 AGM, will end at the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next AGM; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required to be held by the Articles or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.
An explanatory statement in connection with the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix II to this circular. The explanatory statement contains all the requisite information required under the GEM Listing Rules to be given to the Shareholders to enable them to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution approving the Repurchase Mandate. Neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed granting of the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
EXTENSION OF ISSUE MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES
Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolutions to grant the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2026 AGM to extend the Issue Mandate to include the number of Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS
The Board currently consists of three Executive Directors, namely Mr. Kwong Tai Wah, Ms. Kwong Man Yui ("Ms. Kwong") and Mr. Lam On Fai; and three INEDs, namely Mr. Lai Ming Fai Desmond ("Mr. Lai"), Dr. Cheng Lee Lung and Mr. Kwok Yiu Chung ("Mr. Kwok").
Article 84(1) of the Articles provides that at each AGM, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not three or a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not less than one-third of the Directors shall retire from office by rotation, provided that every Director shall be subject to retirement by rotation at least once every three years. A retiring Director shall be eligible for re-election. According to article 84(2) of the Articles, the Directors to retire by rotation shall include (so far as necessary to ascertain the number of directors to retire by rotation) any Director who wishes to retire and not to offer himself for re-election. Any Director who has not been subject to retirement by rotation in the three years preceding the AGM shall retire by rotation at such AGM. Any further Directors so to retire shall be those who have been the longest in office since their last re-election or appointment and so that as between persons who became or were last re-elected Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by lot. Accordingly, Mr. Lai and Mr. Kwok (collectively, the "Retiring Directors") shall retire by rotation at the 2026 AGM and, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the 2026 AGM.
Procedure and Process for Nomination of Directors
The Nomination Committee will recommend to the Board for the appointment of a Director (including an INED) in accordance with the following procedures and process:
(a) The Nomination Committee will, giving due consideration to the current composition and size of the Board, develop a list of desirable skills, perspectives and experience at the outset to focus the search effort;
(b) The Nomination Committee may consult any source it considers appropriate in identifying or selecting suitable candidates, such as referrals from existing Directors, advertising, recommendations from a third party agency firm and proposals from the Shareholders, with due consideration given to the criteria which include but are not limited to:
(i) diversity in the aspects of, amongst others, gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional experience, skills, knowledge and length of service;
(ii) commitment to responsibilities of the Board in respect of available time and relevant interest;
(iii) qualifications, including accomplishment and experience in the relevant industries in which the Group's business is involved;
(iv) independence of the INEDs;
(v) reputation for integrity;
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(vi) potential contributions that the individual can bring to the Board; and
(vii) plan(s) in place for the orderly succession of the Board;
(c) The Nomination Committee may adopt any process it considers appropriate in evaluating the suitability of the candidates, such as interviews, background checks, presentations and third party reference checks;
(d) The Nomination Committee will consider a broad range of candidates who are in and outside of the Board's network of contacts;
(e) Upon considering a candidate suitable for the directorship, the Nomination Committee will hold a meeting and/or by way of written resolutions to, if thought fit, approve the recommendation to the Board for appointment;
(f) The Nomination Committee will provide the relevant information of the selected candidate to the Remuneration Committee to consider the remuneration package of such selected candidate;
(g) The Nomination Committee will thereafter make the recommendation to the Board in relation to the proposed appointment and, where a non-executive Director is considered, the Remuneration Committee will make the recommendation to the Board on the policy and structure for the remuneration;
(h) The Board may arrange for the selected candidate to be interviewed by the members of the Board who are not members of the Nomination Committee, and will thereafter deliberate and decide the appointment; and
(i) All appointment of Directors will be confirmed by the filing of the consent to act of the relevant Director (or any other similar filings requiring the relevant Director to acknowledge or accept the appointment as Director, as the case may be) with the relevant regulatory authorities, if required.
Recommendations of the Nomination Committee
The Nomination Committee had, among other matters, evaluated the skill, experience, background, expertise and performance of each of the Retiring Directors during the period from their respective dates of appointment to 31 March 2026 and found their performance satisfactory.
The Nomination Committee has also assessed and reviewed the annual written confirmation of independence received from each of the INEDs based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules, and confirmed that all of them remain independent.
Based on the background of Mr. Lai and Mr. Kwok including but not limited to gender, cultural and educational background, ethnicity, professional experience, skills and knowledge, the Nomination Committee has assessed that Mr. Lai and Mr. Kwok can contribute to the diversity of the Board.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Having considered the above aspects and in view of the contributions that Mr. Lai and Mr. Kwok have made to the Board, the Nomination Committee believes that each of their re-election as an INED will be in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Accordingly, the Nomination Committee recommended to the Board that both the Retiring Directors stand for re-election as Directors at the 2026 AGM. As a good corporate governance practice, each of the Retiring Directors abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on the respective propositions of their recommendations for re-election by the Shareholders at the 2026 AGM.
The biographical details of each of the Retiring Directors to be re-elected at the 2026 AGM are set out in Appendix I to this circular in accordance with the relevant requirements under the GEM Listing Rules.
RE-APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS
The Audit Committee has recommended to the Board for the re-appointment of HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited as the Auditors for the year ending 31 March 2027.
The estimated audit fee agreed with HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited for the audit of the Company's financial results for the year ending 31 March 2027 ranged between HK$500,000 and HK$550,000. This estimate is based on discussions between the Company and HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited, taking into account various factors, including (i) the Company's size, complexity and risk profile; (ii) the proposed work scope; (iii) the proposed audit timetable and (iv) the auditor's resources required to perform the audit, which are expected to be similar to those in the financial year ended 31 March 2026. The estimated audit fee is based on the facts and circumstances known at the relevant time and is provided for illustrative purposes only. The estimated audit fee may be subject to adjustment prior to the final determination by the Company and HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited.
The Board, upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, proposed to re-appoint HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited as the Auditors and to hold office until the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company.
Shareholders' approval to delegate the authority to the Directors to determine the Auditors' remuneration for the year ending 31 March 2027 is required at the AGM.
2026 AGM
The Company will convene the 2026 AGM at Training Room 1, Level 3, Core F, Cyberport 3, 100 Cyberport Road, Hong Kong on Friday, 7 August 2026 at 11:00 a.m., at which the resolutions will be proposed for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving, among others, (i) the grant of the Issue Mandate and the Repurchase Mandate, (ii) the extension of the Issue Mandate to include Shares repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate; (iii) the re-election of the Retiring Directors; and (iv) the re-appointment of the Auditors.

APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This appendix serves as an explanatory statement as required by Rule 13.08 of the GEM Listing Rules to be given to all Shareholders, containing all information reasonably necessary to enable Shareholders to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the 2026 AGM granting the Repurchase Mandate. Neither the explanatory statement nor the proposed granting of the Repurchase Mandate has any unusual features.
- SHAREHOLDERS' APPROVAL
All proposed repurchase of fully paid-up Shares on the Stock Exchange by the Company must be approved in advance by the Shareholders by an ordinary resolution of the Company, either by way of a general mandate or by a specific approval to the Directors.
- REPURCHASE OF SECURITIES FROM CORE CONNECTED PERSONS
Under the GEM Listing Rules, the Company is prohibited from knowingly purchasing Shares on the Stock Exchange from a core connected person.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no core connected person of the Company has notified the Company that he/she/it has a present intention to sell any Shares to the Company or has undertaken not to sell any of the Shares held by him/her/it to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders.
- SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company comprised 1,000,000,000 Shares. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution approving the grant of the Repurchase Mandate, and assuming that no further Shares will be issued, repurchased and/or cancelled after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of passing such resolution at the 2026 AGM, the Directors would be authorised to exercise the power of the Company to repurchase up to a maximum of 100,000,000 Shares, representing 10% of the aggregate number of the issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) as at the date of passing the relevant resolution. The Repurchase Mandate will end at the earliest of (i) the conclusion of the next AGM; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required to be held by the Articles or any applicable laws of the Cayman Islands; or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company.
APPENDIX II
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
4. REASONS FOR REPURCHASES
The Directors consider that the Repurchase Mandate is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net assets value per Share and/or earnings per Share, and will only be made when the Directors believe that a repurchase will benefit the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Subject to the compliance with the GEM Listing Rules and all applicable laws and regulations, the Company may cancel any Shares it repurchased and/or hold such Shares as Treasury Shares for subsequent sale or transfer, subject to consideration of factors including market conditions and the Group's capital management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases. In any event, the Company has no present intention to cancel any Shares repurchased and/or hold such Shares as Treasury Shares upon any repurchase.
5. FUNDING OF REPURCHASES
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.
Pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, repurchases would be funded entirely from the Company's funds legally available in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules, the laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association for such purpose.
6. IMPACT ON WORKING CAPITAL OR GEARING POSITION
An exercise of the Repurchase Mandate in full may have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company as compared with the position of the Company as disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements for the Year contained in the Annual Report. In any event, the Directors do not propose to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company, which in the opinion of the Directors is from time to time appropriate for the Company.

8. DIRECTORS AND THEIR CLOSE ASSOCIATES
To the best of the Directors' knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Directors nor their respective close associate(s) have any present intention to sell to the Company or any member of the Group any Shares, in the event Repurchase Mandate is approved at the 2026 AGM.
9. UNDERTAKING OF THE DIRECTORS
The Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the powers of the Company to make repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules and the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands.
To the extent that any Treasury Shares are deposited with CCASS pending resale on the Stock Exchange, the Company will adopt appropriate measures to ensure that it does not exercise any shareholders' rights or receive any entitlements which would otherwise be suspended under the applicable laws if those shares were registered in the Company's own name as Treasury Shares. These measures may include approval by the Board that: (i) the Company will not (or will procure its broker not to) give any instructions to Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited to vote at general meetings for the Treasury Shares deposited with CCASS; and (ii) in the case of dividends or distributions, the Company will withdraw the Treasury Shares from CCASS, and either re-register them in its own name as Treasury Shares or cancel them, in each case before the record date for the dividends or distributions.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
10. EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE
If a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company increases as a result of the Company exercising its powers to repurchase Shares pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, such an increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder, or a 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.
To the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, Future More Company Limited (“Future More”) was beneficially interested in 750,000,000 Shares, representing 75% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares, if any). Future More is beneficially owned as to 14% by Mr. Kwong Tai Wah (“Mr. Kwong”), an Executive Director and the Chairman, 18% by Ms. Ip Yin King Ingrid (“Ms. Ingrid Ip”), 18% by Ms. Kwong Man Yui (“Ms. Kwong”), an Executive Director and the Vice Chairlady, 25% by Mr. Kwong Tai Wing Joseph (“Mr. Joseph Kwong”) and 25% by Ms. Kwong Ching Yee Melanie (“Ms. Melanie Kwong”), respectively. Pursuant to a concert party deed dated 23 November 2017 and executed by Mr. Kwong, Ms. Ingrid Ip, Ms. Kwong, Mr. Joseph Kwong and Ms. Melanie Kwong, each of them has agreed and confirmed, among other things, that they have been parties acting in concert in relation to the Group since 23 November 2017 and will continue to act in the same manner in the Group upon the Listing. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Kwong, Ms. Ingrid Ip, Ms. Kwong, Mr. Joseph Kwong and Ms. Melanie Kwong are deemed to be interested in 750,000,000 Shares held by Future More, representing 75% of the total number of issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares, if any). In the event that the Directors exercise in full the Repurchase Mandate, the interests in the Company of each of Future More, Mr. Kwong, Ms. Ingrid Ip, Ms. Kwong, Mr. Joseph Kwong and Ms. Melanie Kwong would be increased to approximately 83.33% of the total number of the issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares, if any) and such increase will not give rise to any obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. Save as aforesaid, the Directors are not aware of any consequence which may arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of any repurchase of Shares under the Repurchase Mandate.
Assuming that there is no further issue of Shares between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of a repurchase, an exercise of the Repurchase Mandate whether in whole or in part will result in the aggregate amount of the issued Shares in the public hands falling below the minimum prescribed percentage of public float of 25% as required by the GEM Listing Rules. The Directors confirm that the Repurchase Mandate will not be exercised to the extent as may result in the percentage of public float being reduced to less than 25% of the issued Shares (excluding Treasury Shares, if any).
11. SHARES REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY
No repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company (whether on the Stock Exchange or otherwise) since the Listing Date up to the Latest Practicable Date.
