VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

COVID-19 PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES

FOR THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Reference is made to the Notice of Annual General Meeting and the circular of the Company ("Circular") both dated 21 April 2021 in relation to the Annual General Meeting to be held at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, 21 May 2021 at Falcon Room, Basement, Gloucester Luk Kwok Hong Kong, 72 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong ("AGM Venue"). Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular.

The Company notes that the Hong Kong Government has recently announced the relaxation of certain restrictions on group gatherings which took effect on 29 April 2021. In particular, the specified business meeting exemption (which applies to shareholders' general meetings) under the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation (Cap. 599G of the Laws of Hong Kong) ("Regulation") has been further relaxed to permit group gatherings of up to 50 persons in each room or partitioned area (for indoor places) or 100 persons in each partitioned area (for outdoor places), provided that (among other conditions) all participants aged 16 or above have been administered with at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

Pursuant to the Regulation, if not all persons aged 16 or above participating in the specified business meeting have received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, the pre-existing capacity limit for such meeting will continue to apply. That is, a specified business meeting of more than 20 persons will only be allowed if measures are in place for separating the participants in different rooms or partitioned areas, each accommodating not more than 20 persons ("Pre-ExistingCapacity Requirements").

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the Regulation and the limitation in the capacity of the AGM Venue, to protect the safety of all attendees of the Annual General Meeting, the Company will continue to comply with the Pre-Existing Capacity Requirements, as follows:

  1. The number of attendees at the Annual General Meeting (including the Shareholders, proxies and other attendees) will be limited to 20 persons on a first-come-first-served basis.
  2. Shareholders (including their proxies) attending the Annual General Meeting in person in excess of the 20 persons limit will be arranged to complete the voting procedures at the entrance of the AGM Venue.

Other COVID-19 precautionary measures as set out in the Circular will also continue to apply at the Annual General Meeting.

The Company will closely monitor the development of the COVID-19 pandemic and any regulations or measures introduced or to be introduced by the Hong Kong Government in relation to COVID-19 pandemic. The Company will ensure that the Annual General Meeting will be conducted in compliance with the regulations or measures of the Hong Kong Government and Shareholders will not be deprived of their right of voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the Annual General Meeting. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company as soon as possible if there is any update to the preventive measures as mentioned above.
