1. PROPOSED FUND RAISING THROUGH SECURITY TOKEN OFFERING ("STO")

The Company is preparing for a proposed STO (the "Proposed Offering") by Green Radar Holdings Limited ("GR Holdings"), a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

The Proposed Offering will be conducted in accordance with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements, including but not limited to the Securities and Futures Ordinance ("SFO") and the Statement on Security Token Offerings issued by the Securities and Future Commission (the "SFC") on 28 March 2019.

Reasons for the Proposed Offering

The board ("Board") of directors of the Company considers that cryptocurrency and other digital assets are increasingly recognised by the public, and there is a broad recognition of the increase of application of blockchain related financing and importance of blockchain technology. An example is that on 12 December 2020, the SFC granted the first licence for operation of a virtual asset trading platform. The Board is confident with the prospects of STO in Hong Kong. The Proposed Offering also echoes the Company's blueprint to branch into the development of the STO market.
