Taking into consideration the guidelines issued by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Joint Statement dated 1 April 2020 made by The Securities and Futures Commission and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in relation to General Meetings in light of the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the EGM to protect attending Shareholders from the risk of infection:

    1. NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 11 March 2021 in relation to the continuing connected transactions and the Revised Caps contemplated under the Second Supplemental Agreement.

Pursuant to the requirements under the Listing Rules, the Company will seek the Independent Shareholders' approval in relation to the Second Supplemental Agreement, and the transactions and the Revised Caps contemplated thereunder at the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purposes of this circular are to provide you with (1) a letter from the Board containing further details of the Second Supplemental Agreement; (2) a letter of recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Second Supplemental Agreement, and the transactions and the Revised Caps contemplated thereunder; (3) a letter from Gram Capital to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Second Supplemental Agreement, and the transactions and the Revised Caps contemplated thereunder (4) notice of convening the EGM; and (5) other information as required under the Listing Rules.

  1. THE SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

Background

Reference is made to (i) the announcement of the Company dated 24 December 2019 in relation to, among others, the Provision of Financial Assistance regarding Payment Agent Services provided by Win Techno to Huobi Global (Seychelles) under the Service Agreement, pursuant to which Win Techno, as the payment agent of Huobi Global (Seychelles) makes payment of Usage Fees to the AWS Group for and on behalf of Huobi Global (Seychelles), and (ii) the announcement dated 19 March 2020 and the circular dated 23 March 2020 of the Company in relation to the Supplemental Agreement entered into between Win Techno and Huobi Global (Seychelles) pursuant to which the annual cap in respect of the Provision of Financial Assistance was revised.

By a deed of novation (the "Deed of Novation") dated 26 February 2021 entered into among Win Techno, Huobi Global (Seychelles) and Huobi Worldwide, Huobi Global (Seychelles) agreed to novate and Huobi Worldwide agreed to assume all rights and obligations of Huobi Global (Seychelles) in and under the Service Agreements. Save for the said revisions, all other terms under the Service Agreements remain the same. As at the date of the Deed of Novation, Huobi Global (Seychelles) was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Huobi Worldwide. The Deed of Novation was executed based on the commercial decisions of the management of Huobi Worldwide and Huobi Global (Seychelles). As there is no material change in terms of the Service Agreements save for the change of party, the Board assessed that the novation has no or minimal impact on the financial risk exposure of the Company. Accordingly, Huobi Global (Seychelles) was released from any obligations under the Service Agreements to be performed from the effective date of the Deed of Novation (i.e. 1 February 2021).

On 11 March 2021 (after trading hours), Win Techno entered into the Second Supplemental Agreement with Huobi Worldwide, pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend the Service Agreement (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement and the Deed of Novation) by renewing and revising the Existing Caps of the Provision of Financial Assistance in relation to the Payment Agent Services.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (where applicable) in respect of the Revised Caps under the Second Supplemental Agreement exceeds 5%, accordingly the Second Supplemental Agreement, in particular the transactions and the Revised Caps contemplated thereunder, is subject to the Independent Shareholders' approval. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with detailed information about the Second Supplemental Agreement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Major Terms of the Second Supplemental Agreement

Major terms of the Second Supplemental Agreement are summarised as follows:

Date

11 March 2021 (after trading hours)

Parties

  1. Win Techno; and
  2. Huobi Worldwide

Term

The term of Service Agreement (as amended by Supplemental Agreement and the Deed of Novation) will expire on 23 December 2022. Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement, the parties agreed to extend the term of Service Agreement to 30 September 2023 to coincide with the fiscal year end of the Company. The Second Supplemental Agreement shall take effect from the Effective Date and shall end on 30 September 2023 (the "New Term").

Condition Precedent

The Second Supplemental Agreement is conditional upon the Company having obtained the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM approving, among other things, the Second Supplemental Agreement, and the transactions and Revised Caps contemplated thereunder.

Payment Agent Services

Win Techno is participating in the AWS Partner Network Program, the global partner program for technology and consulting businesses who leverage Amazon Web Services to build solutions and services for customers. As an AWS Partner, Win Techno acts as a distributor of AWS to provide Payment Agent Services and other add-on services which are ancillary to the AWS Services to assist the end-customers in building AWS-based or related businesses and solutions. Win Techno is a distributor of AWS and shall pay Usage Fees to AWS Group for and on behalf of Huobi Worldwide.

Amazon Web Services, known as AWS Services, offers reliable, scalable, and inexpensive cloud computing services. Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of IT resources over the Internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. Instead of buying, owning, and maintaining physical data centers and servers, the customers can access technology services, such as computing power, storage, and databases, on an as-needed basis from a cloud provider like Amazon Web Services (AWS).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject Matter

Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement and subject to the terms thereof, Win Techno shall continue to play the role of a distributor of AWS to render the Payment Agent Services to Huobi Worldwide and, as payment agent, shall make monthly payment of Usage Fees to the AWS Group for and on behalf of Huobi Worldwide. Win Techno shall make substitutive payment of the Usage Fees, denominated in US dollars, on behalf of Huobi Worldwide, whereas, Huobi Worldwide shall make payment of the equivalent amount of Usage Fees, denominated in US dollars, to Win Techno. Based on the aforesaid Payment Agent Services providing to Huobi Worldwide, Win Techno is providing financial assistance to Huobi Worldwide.

Huobi Worldwide shall pay the amount of the Usage Fees to be paid by Win Techno for and on behalf of Huobi Worldwide to the AWS Group as stated in the invoice(s) issued by Win Techno on a monthly basis, by way of bank transfer to Win Techno, by no later than the end of each calendar month. In the event that Huobi Worldwide fails to make payment of the amount as stated in the monthly invoice, the maximum exposure of the Company shall be HK$48,000,000 which is equivalent to the proposed Revised Caps. The Board is of the view that such amount of exposure is acceptable and does not have a significant impact on the group, due to the reasons as follows:-

First, if Huobi Worldwide fails to make payment of any outstanding amount as stated in the monthly invoice, Win Techno shall immediately cease to provide Payment Agent Services to Huobi Worldwide. In the event of the aforesaid non-payment, Huobi Worldwide shall pay a default interest calculated at 14.6% per annum (the "Default Interest").

Second, under the Second Supplemental Agreement, the parties agreed that Win Techno has the absolute right to require Huobi Worldwide to make deposit payment (in such amount and at such time as Win Techno thinks fit) to Win Techno prior to the provision of Payment Agent Services by Win Techno. In order to safeguard the interests of Win Techno and balance the risk of non-payment by Huobi Worldwide, certain thresholds in terms of the Usage Fees will be set and Win Techno will closely monitor the amount of monthly Usage Fees incurred by Huobi Worldwide. When the Usage Fees incurred by Huobi Worldwide reach particular thresholds as determined by Win Techno, Win Techno shall exercise its absolute right by issuing a written notice to Huobi Worldwide requiring the deposit payment at a preset percentage of the thresholds. In determining the amount of deposit payment, Win Techno will consider and make reference to Huobi Worldwide's past performance in fulfilling its payment obligations to Win Techno, the usage of AWS Services track record and its operation scale and may revise the thresholds and the percentage of the thresholds paid as deposit.

The deposit payment paid by Huobi Worldwide shall be applied for the purpose of deducting from the outstanding amount as stated in the forthcoming invoice to be issued by Win Techno for the current month. In the event that Huobi Worldwide defaults in payment to Win Techno, the Default Interest shall be accrued on the default outstanding payment, which shall be subject to the deduction of deposit payments if there is any. Hence, the absolute right to require deposit payment from Huobi Worldwide and the right to charge Default Interest may balance the risk exposure to be suffered by Win Techno when providing the financial assistance to Huobi Worldwide.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Proposed Revised Caps under the Second Supplemental Agreement

Pursuant to the Service Agreement (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement and the Deed of Novation), the Existing Caps were HK$30 million. However, the historical records showed that the actual average monthly Usage Fees actually incurred by Huobi Global (Seychelles) in respect of the Payment Agent Services between November 2020 and January 2021 were approximately HK$27.9 million. Huobi Worldwide has expected that the monthly Usage Fees to be incurred, and the maximum financial assistance amount to be provided by Win Techno to Huobi Worldwide (the "Maximum Financial Assistance Amount"), would exceed the Existing Caps under the Supplemental Agreement.

In light of the historical amounts of the incurred monthly Usage Fees as illustrated above, for the purpose of maintaining the Payment Agent Services and complying with Rule 14A.54 of the Listing Rules, Win Techno and Huobi Worldwide agreed to revise the Existing Caps, subject to the Independent Shareholders' approval. Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement, the Maximum Financial Assistance Amount provided by Win Techno to Huobi Worldwide for the respective periods set out below during the term of the Second Supplemental Agreement shall not exceed the cap which is proposed to be increased as set out below:

Save for the New Term, the Revised Caps and the grant of absolute right to Win Techno to require Huobi Worldwide to make payment of deposit to Win Techno in such amount and at such time as Win Techno thinks fit before the provision of the Payment Agent Services by Win Techno, all other terms and conditions under the Service Agreements (as amended by the Deed of Novation) shall remain unchanged.

Basis of determining the Proposed Revised Caps

The proposed Revised Caps are determined principally by reference to:

  1. the Existing Caps on Maximum Financial Assistance Amount of HK$30 million, details of which are disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 19 March 2020;
  2. the average monthly Usage Fees of approximately HK$27.9 million actually incurred by Huobi Global (Seychelles) between November 2020 and January 2021, representing an increase of approximately 24.78% as compared to that incurred in April 2020;
  3. the expectation by the management of the Usage Fees and operation scale of Huobi Worldwide during the New Term; and

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the estimated growth of the industry of digital asset trading due to the rise of digital asset price and transaction volume, the anticipated increase in Usage Fees to be charged by AWS Group as a result of engaging AWS Group for cloud computing services in operating the digital asset trading platforms of Huobi Worldwide and the increase of demand on engaging the Payment Agent Services.

After taking the above into consideration, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors after taking into account the advice of Gram Capital) are of the view that the Revised Caps represent the Maximum Financial Assistance Amount to be provided by Win Techno to Huobi Worldwide for the respective periods set out above during the New Term.

Reasons for and Benefits of Entering into the Second Supplemental Agreement

The Directors have been closely monitoring the Provision of Financial Assistance. With an increasing demand on the Payment Agent Services to be provided by Win Techno to Huobi Worldwide and the fact that the monthly Usage Fees between November 2020 and January 2021 has almost reached the Existing Caps, the Directors are of the view that the Existing Caps will soon be insufficient to cover the monthly maximum amount of financial assistance to be provided by Win Techno to Huobi Worldwide. Accordingly, Win Techno and Huobi Worldwide entered into the Second Supplemental Agreement on 11 March 2021 to revise the Existing Caps during the New Term in order to comply with Rule 14A.54 of the Listing Rules while maintaining the Payment Agent Services. The Second Supplemental Agreement shall be effective from the date of obtaining the Independent Shareholders' approval at the EGM.

As Win Techno is entitled to require Huobi Worldwide to make deposit payment in such amount and at such time as it thinks fit, it helps to lower the risk of exposure to be suffered by Win Techno when providing the financial assistance to Huobi Worldwide. Meanwhile, Win Techno will receive commission from AWS Group for participating in the AWS partner network and providing the Payment Agent Services to end-customers (such as Huobi Worldwide) and the Revised Caps enable Win Techno to earn more commission from AWS Group for providing the Payment Services for and on behalf of Huobi Worldwide.

Although Win Techno will not charge any payment from end-customers (such as Huobi Worldwide) when providing the Payment Agent Services to the end customers, it is a common and general practice within the industry that Win Techno, as an AWS Partner, shall receive commission from AWS Group for providing the Payment Agent Services to end-customers (such as Huobi Worldwide). As Huobi Worldwide has committed to spend a relatively higher amount of the Usage Fees, Win Techno has bargained a more favourable rate of the commission to be received from the AWS Group when providing the Payment Agent Services to Huobi Worldwide as compared to the other end-customers.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Further to the Payment Agent Services provided by Win Techno under the Service Agreements, Huobi Worldwide will engage Win Techno to provide ancillary services in relation to the use of cloud-based software and database services in particular data storage and data centre maintenance services. In this regard, the data processing to be conducted by Huobi Worldwide in the cloud of AWS will be downloaded, stored and maintained in Win Techno's data centre. It will create a synergy effect between Win Techno and Huobi Worldwide as Win Techno will provide the Payment Agent Services and in the meantime, Huobi Worldwide's AWS account will link to Win Techno's AWS account, which shall enable Win Techno to detect the data usage of Huobi Worldwide in AWS and will facilitate Win Techno to provide the data storage and maintenance services to Huobi Worldwide.

The terms of the Second Supplemental Agreement were agreed by the parties after arm's length negotiations. Having considered that the Revised Caps and the proposed New Term under the Second Supplemental Agreement will allow the Company to continue to receive certain commission from AWS Group for providing the Payment Agent Services to Huobi Worldwide, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors after taking into account the advice of Gram Capital) are of the view that the terms of the Second Supplemental Agreement and the Revised Caps in respect of the monthly amount under the Provision of Financial Assistance and hence the Maximum Financial Assistance Amount are fair and reasonable and are entered into on normal commercial terms, or on terms no less favorable than those available to Independent Third Parties under prevailing local market conditions, and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  1. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS FOR THE CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Li Lin ("Mr. Li") is beneficially interested in approximately 58.07% of the issued shares in the Company and is therefore a controlling shareholder of the Company. As such, Mr. Li is a connected person of the Company under Rule 14A.07 of the Listing Rules. Since Huobi Worldwide is indirectly controlled by Mr. Li, Huobi Worldwide is a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Win Techno is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Second Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder will constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Rule 14A.24 of the Listing Rules.

Furthermore, pursuant to Rule 14.04(1)(e) of the Listing Rules, the Provision of Financial Assistance to Huobi Worldwide by Win Techno by virtue of the Payment Agent Services constitutes a transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. As the highest of the applicable percentage ratios for the Revised Caps is higher than 5% and less than 25% on an annual basis and the total value of the financial assistance is more than HK$10,000,000, the transactions contemplated under the Second Supplemental Agreement constitute (i) discloseable transactions of the Company which are subject to announcement requirement and (ii) non-exempt continuing connected transactions which are subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement and the Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

- 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Among the existing Directors, the connected Director, Mr. Li Lin, was required to abstain from voting in the Board meeting in respect of the resolution to approve the Second Supplemental Agreement, and the transactions and the Revised Caps contemplated thereunder.

12 April 2021

To: The independent board committee and the independent shareholders of

Huobi Technology Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

DISCLOSEABLE AND CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS

IN RELATION TO SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Second Supplemental Agreement and the Revised Caps contemplated thereunder (the "CCT"), details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the "Board Letter") contained in the circular dated 12 April 2021 issued by the Company to the Shareholders (the "Circular"), of which this letter forms part. Terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context requires otherwise.

On 24 December 2019, Win Techno, an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, became a participant of the Amazon Web Services Partner Network. Such network allows Win Techno to provide Payment Agent Service and other add-on services to support the usage of the AWS Services by the end-customers of the AWS Group. Win Techno commenced to provide payment agent services to Huobi Global (Seychelles), a connected person of the Company, to facilitate payment of the usage fees to AWS Group for a term of three years. On 19 March 2020, Win Techno and Huobi Global (Seychelles) entered into the Supplemental Agreement to amend the Service Agreement (i.e. to revise the cap of the Provision of Financial Assistance for the period from 14 April 2020 to 23 December 2022 from HK$15.0 million to HK$30.0 million).

Pursuant to the Deed of Novation entered into among Win Techno, Huobi Global (Seychelles) and Huobi Worldwide (both being connected persons of the Company as of the date of the Deed of Novation), Huobi Global (Seychelles) agreed to novate and Huobi Worldwide agreed to assume all rights and obligations of Huobi Global (Seychelles) in and under the Service Agreements. Save for the said revisions, all other terms under the Service Agreements remain the same. As there is no material change in terms of the Service Agreements save for the change of party, the Board assessed that the novation has no or minimal impact on the financial risk exposure of the Company. Accordingly, Huobi Global (Seychelles) was released from any obligations under the Service Agreements to be performed from the effective date of the Deed of Novation (i.e. 1 February 2021).

- 19 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

On 11 March 2021 (after trading hours), Win Techno entered into the Second Supplemental Agreement with Huobi Worldwide, pursuant to which the parties agreed to amend the Service Agreement (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement and the Deed of Novation) by renewing and revising the Existing Caps in relation to the Payment Agent Services.

With reference to the Board Letter, the CCT constitutes discloseable transactions and continuing connected transactions of the Company and is subject to the reporting, annual review, announcement and the Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The Independent Board Committee comprising Mr. Duan Xiongfei, Mr. Yip Wai Ming and Mr. Ngai Matthew Cheuk Yin (all being independent non-executive Directors) has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders on (i) whether the CCT is entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and on normal commercial terms; (ii) whether the terms of the CCT are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (iii) how the Independent Shareholders should vote in respect of the resolution to approve the CCT at the EGM. We, Gram Capital Limited, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this respect.

INDEPENDENCE

As the aforesaid engagement was an independent financial adviser engagement, it does not affect our independence to act as the Independent Financial Adviser. Notwithstanding the aforesaid past engagement, as at the Latest Practicable Date, we were not aware of any relationships or interests between Gram Capital and the Company, or any other parties that could be reasonably regarded as a hindrance to Gram Capital's independence to act as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders.

As shown in the table above, the Group recorded revenue of approximately HK$276.56 million for the year ended 30 September 2020 ("FY2020"), representing a decrease of approximately 11.46% as compared to that for the year ended 30 September 2019 ("FY2019"). Despite the aforesaid decrease in the Group's revenue, the Group's gross profit increased by approximately 34.67% from approximately HK$57.82 million in FY2019 to approximately HK$77.86 million in FY2020.

Nevertheless, the Group recorded net loss of approximately HK$32.58 million for FY2020, representing an increase of approximately 436.24% as compared to that for FY2019. With reference to the 2020 Annual Report and as advised by the Directors, such increase was primarily due to increase in administrative expenses and finance costs from FY2019 to FY2020.

- 22 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

With reference to the 2020 Annual Report, the Group will continue to concentrate resources on the development of cloud software and database services for global customers from innovative technology sectors, including blockchain, fintech and big data.

Information on Huobi Worldwide

Huobi Worldwide is a company incorporated in Hong Kong and is indirectly controlled by Mr. Li. The major businesses of Huobi Worldwide include investment and operation of several leading global and regional digital asset trading platforms. Huobi Worldwide is a connected person of the Company.

Reasons for and benefits for the CCT

With reference to the Board Letter, with an increasing demand on the Payment Agent Services to be provided by Win Techno to Huobi Worldwide and the fact that the monthly Usage Fees between November 2020 and January 2021 were reaching the Existing Caps, the Directors are of the view that the Existing Caps will soon be insufficient to cover the monthly maximum amount of financial assistance to be provided by Win Techno to Huobi Worldwide. Accordingly, Win Techno and Huobi Worldwide entered into the Second Supplemental Agreement on 11 March 2021 to revise the Existing Caps during the New Term.

As Win Techno is entitled to require Huobi Worldwide to make deposit payment in such amount and at such time as it thinks fit, it helps to lower the risk exposure to be suffered by Win Techno when providing the financial assistance to Huobi Worldwide. Meanwhile, Win Techno will receive commission from AWS Group for participating in the AWS partner network and providing the Payment Agent Services to end-customers (such as Huobi Worldwide), the Revised Caps enable Win Techno to earn more commission from AWS Group under the Payment Agent Services for and on behalf of Huobi Worldwide.

Although Win Techno will not charge any payment from end-customers (such as Huobi Worldwide) when providing the Payment Agent Services to the end customers, it is a common and general practice within the industry that Win Techno, as an AWS Partner, shall receive commission from AWS Group for providing the Payment Agent Services to end-customers (such as Huobi Worldwide). As Huobi Worldwide has committed to spend a relatively higher amount of the Usage Fees, Win Techno has bargained a more favourable rate of the commission to be received from the AWS Group when providing the Payment Agent Services to Huobi Worldwide as compared to the other end-customers.

With reference to the Board Letter, the average monthly Usage Fees incurred by Huobi Global (Seychelles) was approximately HK$27.9 million between November 2020 and January 2021. Accordingly, the Existing Caps may not be sufficient for the provision of Payment Agent Services to Huobi Worldwide in future.

Having also considered that:

(i) Win Techno also provides Payment Agent Services to Independent Third Parties;

- 23 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

  1. although Win Techno does not charge service fee or interest for the Payment Agent Services (which constitute financial assistance provided by Win Techno to Huobi Worldwide), Win Techno can receive commission from AWS Group for participating in the AWS partner network and providing the Payment Agent Services to end-customers (the same arrangement also applies for the Payment Agent Services provided by Win Techno to Independent Third Parties);
  2. the risk of Huobi Worldwide's failure to pay Win Techno for the Payment Agent Services is balanced by the Default Interest (as defined and elaborated below) and the absolute right to require Huobi Worldwide to make deposit payment (as elaborated below); and
  3. the Revised Caps enable Win Techno to earn more commission from AWS Group under the Payment Agent Services,

we concur with the Directors that the CCT is conducted under the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2. Principal terms of the CCT

The tables below summarise the major terms of the Second Supplemental Agreement:

Date:

11 March 2021

Parties:

(i)

Win Techno; and

(ii)

Huobi Worldwide

Subject

Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement and subject to the

Matter:

terms thereof, Win Techno shall continue to play the role of a

distributor of AWS to render the Payment Agent Services to Huobi

Worldwide and, as payment agent, shall make monthly payment of

Usage Fees to the AWS Group for and on behalf of Huobi

Worldwide. Win Techno shall make substitutive payment of the Usage Fee, denominated in US dollars, on behalf of Huobi Worldwide, whereas, Huobi Worldwide shall make payment of the equivalent amount of Usage Fees, denominated in US dollars, to Win Techno. Based on the aforesaid Payment Agent Services providing to Huobi Worldwide, Win Techno is providing financial assistance to Huobi Worldwide.

- 24 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Under the Second Supplemental Agreement, the parties agreed that Win Techno has the absolute right to require Huobi Worldwide to make deposit payment (in such amount and at such time as Win Techno thinks fit) to Win Techno prior to provision of Payment Agent Services by Win Techno. Detailed mechanism of the deposit payment is set out under the section headed "I. THE SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT" of the Board Letter.

Term:The term of the Service Agreement (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement and the Deed of Novation) will expire on 23 December 2022. Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement, the parties agree to extend the term of Service Agreement to 30 September 2023 to coincide with the fiscal year end of the Company. The Second Supplemental Agreement shall take effect from the Effective Date to 30 September 2023.

Payment Agent Services and capped monthly Usage Fees

Huobi Worldwide shall pay the amount of the Usage Fees (to be paid by Win Techno for and on behalf of Huobi Worldwide to the AWS Group as stated in the invoice(s) issued by Win Techno on a monthly basis, by way of bank transfer to Win Techno, by no later than the end of each calendar month. If Huobi Worldwide fails to make payment of any outstanding amount as stated in the monthly invoice, Win Techno shall immediately cease to provide the Payment Agent Service to Huobi Worldwide. In the event of the aforesaid non-payment, Huobi Worldwide shall pay a default interest calculated at 14.6% per annum (the "Default Interest").

As a result of making payment of the Usage Fees for and on behalf of Huobi Worldwide to the AWS Group, Win Techno can receive commission from AWS Group.

For our due diligence purpose, we obtained transaction documents between Win Techno and the AWS Group in relation to the Payment Agent Services provided by Win Techno to Huobi Global (Seychelles) (before novation) and Independent Third Party respectively. We noted from the aforesaid documents that Win Techno is entitled to higher commission rate (offered by the AWS Group) for providing the Payment Agent Services to Huobi Global (Seychelles) than providing the Payment Agent Services to Independent Third Party.

The Directors advised us that the Default Interest of 14.6% applied to all Win Techno's customers (including Independent Third Parties). We also obtained account opening forms of Win Techno's Independent Third Parties customers which indicated that the Default Interest being charged is 14.6%.

- 25 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

With reference to the Board Letter, in order to safeguard the interests of Win Techno and balance the risk of non-payment by Huobi Worldwide, certain thresholds in terms of the Usage Fees will be set and Win Techno will closely monitor the amount of monthly Usage Fees incurred by Huobi Worldwide. When the Usage Fees incurred by Huobi Worldwide reach particular thresholds as determined by Win Techno, Win Techno shall exercise its absolute right by issuing a written notice to Huobi Worldwide requiring the deposit payment at a pre-set percentage of the thresholds. In determining the amount of deposit payment, Win Techno will consider and make reference to Huobi Worldwide's past performance in fulfilling its payment obligations to Win Techno, the usage of AWS Services track record and its operation scale and may revise the thresholds and the percentage of the thresholds paid as deposit.

The deposit payment paid by Huobi Worldwide shall be applied for the purpose of deducting from the outstanding amount as stated in the forthcoming invoice to be issued by Win Techno for the current month. In the event that Huobi Worldwide defaults in payment to Win Techno, the Default Interest shall be accrued on the default outstanding payment, which shall be subject to the deduction of deposit payments if there is any. Hence, the absolute right to require deposit payment from Huobi Worldwide and the right to charge Default Interest may balance the risk exposure to be suffered by Win Techno when providing the financial assistance to Huobi Worldwide.

Having considered that:

  1. Win Techno has the absolute right to require Huobi Worldwide to make deposit payment (in such amount and at such time as Win Techno thinks fit) to Win Techno prior to provision of Payment Agent Services by Win Techno;
  2. in determining the amount of deposit payment, Win Techno will consider and make reference to Huobi Worldwide's past performance in fulfilling its payment obligations to Win Techno;
  3. the deposit payment paid by Huobi Worldwide shall be applied for the purpose of deducting from the outstanding amount as stated in the forthcoming invoice to be issued by Win Techno for the current month;
  4. Huobi Global (Seychelles) and Huobi Worldwide never fail to make payment of any outstanding amount as stated in the monthly invoice;
  5. if Huobi Worldwide fails to make payment of any outstanding amount as stated in the monthly invoice, Win Techno shall immediately cease to provide the Payment Agent Service to Huobi Worldwide; and
  6. in the event of the aforesaid non-payment, Huobi Worldwide shall pay a default interest calculated at 14.6% per annum,

we consider the risk of Huobi Worldwide's failure to pay Win Techno for the Payment Agent Services is balanced by the Default Interest and the absolute right to require deposit payment from Huobi Worldwide.

- 26 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

With reference to the Board Letter, the Company adopted the pricing and internal control policies and measures as set out under the section headed "IV. PRICING AND INTERNAL CONTROL POLICIES FOR THE GROUP" of the Board Letter to ensure that the continuing connected transactions of the Group are conducted in accordance with the Listing Rules and to safeguard the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Revised Caps

With reference to the Board Letter, pursuant to the Service Agreement (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement and the Deed of Novation), the Existing Cap was HK$30 million. However, the historical records showed that the actual average monthly Usage Fees actually incurred by Huobi Global (Seychelles) in respect of the Payment Agent Services between November 2020 and January 2021 were approximately HK$27.9 million. Huobi Worldwide expects that the monthly Usage Fees to be incurred, and the Maximum Financial Assistance Amount would exceed the Existing Caps.

In light of the historical amounts of the incurred monthly Usage Fees as illustrated above, for the purpose of maintaining the Payment Agent Services and complying with Rules 14A.54 of Listing Rules, Win Techno and Huobi Worldwide agreed to revise the Existing Caps, subject to the Independent Shareholders' approval. Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement, the Maximum Financial Assistance Amount provided by Win Techno to Huobi Worldwide during the New Term shall not exceed the cap which is proposed to be increased as set out below:

HK$48 million

With reference to the Board Letter, the Revised Caps was determined principally by reference to:

  1. the Existing Caps on Maximum Financial Assistance Amount of HK$30 million, details of which are disclosed in the Company's announcement dated 19 March 2020;
  2. the average monthly Usage Fees of approximately HK$27.9 million actually incurred by Huobi Global (Seychelles) between November 2020 and January 2021, representing an increase of approximately 24.78% as compared to that incurred in April 2020 (the Existing Caps became effective on 14 April 2020);
  3. the expectation by the management of the Usage Fees and operation scale of Huobi Worldwide during the term of the Second Supplemental Agreement; and

- 27 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

  1. the estimated growth of the industry of digital asset trading due to the rise of digital asset price and transaction volume, the anticipated increase in Usage Fees to be charged by AWS Group as a result of engaging AWS Group for cloud computing services in operating the digital asset trading platforms of Huobi Worldwide and the increase of demand on engaging the Payment Agent Services.

We noted from the 2020 Annual Report that as at 30 September 2020, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately HK$403.68 million, which is significantly higher than the Revised Caps. We consider that the Group will have sufficient internal resources to conduct the Provision of Financial Assistance at maximum amount of approximately HK$48 million.

Upon our request, the Company provided us the record on historical monthly Usage Fees incurred by Huobi Global (Seychelles) for the period from April 2020 to January 2021. We noted that the historical monthly Usage Fees incurred by Huobi Global (Seychelles) increased from approximately HK$22.34 million in April 2020 to approximately HK$29.41 million in January 2021.

As aforementioned, the major businesses of Huobi Worldwide include the investment and operation of several leading global and regional digital asset trading platforms. Huobi Worldwide will use AWS Services for its business activities and incurs Usage Fees from using the AWS Services.

Based on our research over the internet, we noted that

  1. The digital asset trading volume on the Huobi Global (Seychelles)'s exchange was approximately US$5.8 billion on 30 June 2020, approximately US$19.8 billion on 31 December 2020 and approximately US$21.4 billion on 31 January 2021 as quoted on Feixiaohao (a PRC platform which focuses on blockchain data and information).
  2. The Bitcoin trading volume was approximately US$15.7 billion on 30 June 2020, approximately US$46.8 billion on 31 December 2020 and approximately US$52.8 billion on 31 January 2021 as quoted on CoinMarketCap (a price-tracking website for cryptoassets).

The above statistics demonstrate the potential growth of the digital assets trading industry.

Having considered (i) the growth on historical monthly Usage Fees incurred by Huobi Global (Seychelles) for the period from April 2020 to January 2021; and (ii) the statistics as set out above, we are of the view that the Maximum Financial Assistance Amount for each of the period (i.e. approximately HK$48 million) during the New Term and the Revised Caps to be fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Having considered (i) there is no material change in terms of the Service Agreements save for the change of party; and (ii) the commission arrangement for the Payment Agent Services and the Revised Caps for the period from the Effective Date to 30 September 2023 as aforementioned, we are of the view that the terms of the CCT and entering into the Second Supplemental Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable.

3. Listing Rules implication

The Directors confirmed that the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rules 14A.53 to 14A.59 of the Listing Rules pursuant to which (i) the values of the CCT must be restricted by the Revised Caps for the period concerned under the Second Supplemental Agreement; (ii) the terms of the CCT must be reviewed by the independent non-executive Directors annually; (iii) details of independent non-executive Directors' annual review on the CCT must be included in the Company's subsequent published annual reports and financial accounts. Furthermore, it is also required by the Listing Rules that the auditors of the Company must provide a letter to the Board confirming, among other things, whether anything has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the CCT (i) has not been approved by the Board; (ii) was not entered into, in all material respects, in accordance with the relevant agreements governing the CCT; and (iii) has exceeded the Revised Caps. In the event that the total amounts of the CCT exceed the Revised Caps, or that there is any material amendment to the terms of the Service Agreements or the Second Supplemental Agreement, as confirmed by the Directors, the Company shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Listing Rules governing continuing connected transactions.

Given the above stipulated requirements for continuing connected transactions pursuant to the Listing Rules, we are of the view that there are adequate measures in place to monitor the CCT and thus the interest of the Independent Shareholders would be safeguarded.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the opinion that

  1. the terms of the CCT are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable; and (ii) the CCT is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the CCT and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution in this regard.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

Gram Capital Limited
