VOLUNTARYANNOUNCEMENT
AMENDMENTSTO THE RULES OF
SHAREAWARD SCHEME OF A SUBSIDIARY
This announcement is made by Graphex Group Limited (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) on a voluntary basis. References is made to the announcement of the Company dated 19 January 2021(the “Announcement”) regarding the adoption of the share award scheme (the “EIL Share AwardScheme”) of Earthasia (International) Limited (the “EIL”). Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalized terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as defined in the Announcement.
BACKGROUND
The EIL Share Award Scheme was adopted by EIL on 19 January 2021, then a direct non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The purpose of the EIL Share Award Scheme are to recognise the contributions made or to be made by certain Participants and to provide them with incentives in order to retain them for the continual operation and development of the EIL Group and to attract suitable personnel for further development of the EIL Group.
Pursuant to the EIL Share Award Scheme, any amendment to the Scheme Rules can be made in any respect by a resolution of the board of EIL provided that no such amendment shall operate to affect materially and adversely any subsisting rights of any Selected Participant.

AMENDMENTSTO THE EIL SHARE AWARD SCHEME
On 7 June 2023, the EIL Board, the shareholders of EIL as well as the Board have resolved to approve and adopt certain material amendments to the Scheme Rules (the “Amendments”) as follows:
| Description | Original term of the Scheme Rule | Amended term of the Scheme Rules |
|---|---|---|
| Individual<br> Limit | The<br> maximum number of shares which may be awarded to a Selected Participant under the EIL Share Award Scheme shall not exceed 1% of the<br> issued share capital of EIL from time to time. | The<br> maximum number of Awarded Shares which may be awarded to a Selected Participant under the EIL Share Award Scheme, including<br> (a) the Award Shares issued and to be issued under the Awards already granted or to be granted to such Selected Participant under<br> the EIL Share Award Scheme (excluding any Awards cancelled in accordance with the terms of the EIL Share Award Scheme); and (b) any<br> Shares issued and to be issued in respect of all other options and awards (if any) granted to such Selected Participant by EIL under<br> any other share option and/or award scheme of EIL, in the 12-month period up to and including the date of such grant shall not<br> exceed 1% of the number of shares in the issued share capital of EIL from time to time (the “1% Individual Limit”).<br> If required by the Listing Rules, any grant of Awards that shall exceed the 1% Individual Limit must be separately approved by an<br> ordinary resolution in general meeting of EIL or the Company (as the Listing Rules may require) which such Selected Participant and<br> his/her close associates (or associates if such Selected Participant is a connected person) abstaining from voting in compliance<br> with the requirements of the Listing Rules (if any). |
| Refreshment<br> of Scheme Limit | The<br>Scheme Limit may be refreshed provided that the Scheme Limit so refreshed must not exceed 10% of the issued share capital of EIL as at<br>the date of approval of refreshment by the EIL Board. | The<br>Scheme Limit may be refreshed provided that the Scheme Limit so refreshed must not exceed 10% of the number of shares in the issued<br>share capital of EIL as at the date of approval of refreshment by the EIL Board. |
| Consideration | The<br> Awarded Shares shall be new shares to be allotted and issued by EIL and the par value of the Awarded Shares shall be paid by the<br> Selected Participant, the amount of which shall be stated in the Grant Notice which shall be HK$1.00 per Awarded Share. | The<br> Awarded Shares shall be new shares to be allotted and issued by EIL to the Selected Participant<br> at no consideration or at such other amount per Awarded Shares and in such number and<br> on and subject to such conditions (if any) as the EIL Board may in its absolute<br><br> <br>discretion<br> determine. |
Save for the Amendments specified above and other cosmetic changes, no material changes have been made to the Scheme Rules and all other terms of the EIL Share Award Scheme remain effective.
REASONSFOR THE AMENDMENTS
The Board considers the increase in the individual limit under the EIL Share Award Scheme and the Amendments will help give flexibility to EIL to grant Award Shares as and when appropriate in order to achieve the purposes and objectives of the EIL Share Award Scheme and believes that the Amendments are beneficial to the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
The Amendments have taken effect on 7 June 2023, being the day on which the Amendments were approved by the EIL Board and the shareholders of EIL.
