80% of the market price.

any time during the period commencing from the date

falling three months from the date of issue of the relevant

Convertible Bond(s) up to 4:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION OF THE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

The Group is principally engaged in: (i) manufacturing and selling of Boree branded slippers, sandals and casual footwear; (ii) the production of graphene-basedethylene-vinyl acetate foam material and slippers, and graphene deodorizing and sterilizing chips for air purifiers and air conditioners; (iii) the production of slippers for branding and resale by others; and (iv) the manufacturing of large size cast monocrystalline silicon ("Cast-mono") wafers and high efficiency heterjunction ("HJT") solar cells.

- 10 -

As disclosed in the Company's announcements dated 25 January, 29 January and 11 March 2021, the Group successfully utilized casting technology to produce Cast-mono wafers, which was then used to manufacture HJT solar cells with an energy conversion efficiency exceeding 24.0% in September 2020. Besides, the Group entered into a casting silicon furnaces purchase agreement with the subsidiary of GCL Poly Energy Holdings Limited on 29 January 2021, and entered into a license letter of intent with GS-Solar (Fujian) Company Limited and its subsidiary in relation to the patents and process techniques of HJT solar cells, together with a lease framework agreement in respect of the lease of production equipment for 500MW high efficiency HJT solar cells and a plant located in Fujian Province on 11 March 2021. Through the above arrangements, the Group transforms from a traditional manufacturing company to a material technology company, and become a supplier of low cost, high efficiency Cast-mono wafers and HJT solar cells.

In light of the above, the Group intends to deploy more resources on the development of the photovoltaic business in order to develop new markets and new business.

The gross proceeds of the Subscription are approximately HK$100,000,000. The net proceeds of the Subscription are approximately HK$99,780,000 after deducting the relevant expenses for the Subscription. The Board intends to use the net proceeds of the Subscription for the development of the photovoltaic and related business. The net Conversion Price is approximately HK$6.10, assuming 16,366,612 Conversion Shares are issued at the Conversion Price of HK$6.11 per Conversion Share.

The Directors consider that the Subscription represent an opportunity to strengthen the Group's financial position and raise additional funding for the business operations of the Group as explained above.

The Directors consider that the Subscription Agreement is entered into upon normal commercial terms following arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber and that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

GENERAL

Shareholders and potential investors should note that completion of the Subscription is subject to fulfillment of the conditions under the Subscription Agreement. As the Subscription may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
