Unless otherwise defined in this announcement, terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement. The Company would like to provide further information of the Acquisition.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

In addition to the reasons for and benefits of entering into the Share Purchase Agreement as mentioned in the Announcement, the Company would like to supplement that acquiring preferred shares instead of the Kantatsu Common Shares is a customary structure for minority investment, as it gives more protection to minority shareholders given the protective provisions of preferred shares (e.g., in the case of the Sale Shares, right to require Kantatsu to cash buy back the Sale Shares in certain situations, as well as dividend preference). Moreover, the Sale Shares may be converted into the Kantatsu Common Shares at any time.

During the negotiation of the Acquisition as well as following the Acquisition, the Company has had and expects to continue to have communication with Kantatsu in relation to different business opportunities. There may also be business cooperation in contemplation which may lead to synergy with the Group's existing business. By leveraging Kantatsu's strong molding research and development capability, the Company could enhance its production precision and reliability in order to reinforce its core precision manufacturing capability. Moreover, the Company could expand its high-end product portfolio and business exposure to various industries.

After the Acquisition, the Company shall be entitled to appoint 2 directors to Kantatsu's board of directors.

By order of the Board
