REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

Since 2019, the Target Group has established a cooperative relationship with the Roblox Platform in the PRC ("Roblox China"), a joint venture established between Roblox Corporation ("Roblox", a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange, stock code: RBLX) and Tencent Holdings Limited (a company listed on the Stock Exchange, stock code: 700). The Target Group is mainly responsible for the content review, developer community maintenance and new media operation business of Roblox China.

Roblox is the world's largest sandbox gaming development company that allows people to create games and play those programmed by others, with more than 100 million monthly active users.

Given that the Target Group is principally engaged in the development and operations of sandbox games and has an experienced team, the Company considers that the Acquisition is in line with the overall business direction of the Group and is a good investment opportunity as it allows the Group to gain an advantage among other domestic sandbox gaming development companies and enhance the Group's customer base and capability to expand in the gaming industry.

In light of the above, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceeds 5% but are less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from the shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
