The aggregate nominal value of the maximum number of Placing Shares under the Placing will be HK$1,911,334.

The Placing Price of HK$1.00 per Placing Share represents (i) a premium of approximately 1.01% over the closing price of HK$0.99 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Placing Agreement; and (ii) a premium of approximately 2.88% over the average closing price of HK$0.972 per Share in the last five trading days immediately prior to the date of the Placing Agreement.

It is expected that the maximum gross proceeds and net proceeds from the Placing will be approximately HK$191.13 million and approximately HK$188.18 million, respectively. The net proceeds from the Placing are intended to be used for financing any potential investment opportunities of the Group that may arise from time to time. The net price per Placing Share is approximately HK$0.98.
