Notes:

  1. The net proceeds from the Share Offer amounted to HK$91.9 million (after deducting related expenses). Such net proceeds are intended to be applied in accordance with the proposed application as disclosed in the Prospectus.
  2. The expected timeline for utilising the remaining proceeds is made based on the best estimation of the Company taking into account, among others, prevailing and future market conditions and business developments and need, and therefore is subject to change.

During the year ended 31 March 2020, the actual application for the net proceeds from the Share Offer were used and expected to be used according to the intentions previously disclosed in the Prospectus and there was no material change in the use of proceeds. The unutilised amount is expected to be used in accordance with the Company's plan as disclosed in the Prospectus. Given the impacts of the social events occurred in Hong Kong since about July 2019 and the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) since January 2020 on the economy, the Company was concerned about the promotional effectiveness of sponsoring business events and charity functions organised by our customers when people in Hong Kong were recommended to stay at home and reduce gathering. The Company will continue to evaluate and adopt a prudent and flexible approach for utilising the net proceeds effectively

and efficiently for the long-term benefit and development of the Group. The expected timeline of full utilisation is based on the Directors' best estimation barring unforeseen circumstances, and would be subject to change based on the future development of market conditions.

Should there be any material change in the intended use of the net proceeds from the Share Offer as described in the Prospectus, the Company will make appropriate announcement(s) in due course.

The above additional information does not affect any other information contained in the 2019 Annual Report and the 2020 Annual Report. Save as disclosed in this announcement, the content of the 2019 Annual Report and the 2020 Annual Report remain unchanged.
