CONDITIONS OF THE CHANGE OF DOMICILE
The Change of Domicile is conditional upon:
| (i) | the passing of special resolutions by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Change of Domicile and the Adoption of the New Articles of Association; |
| (ii) | the compliance with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules and the relevant legal procedures and requirements under the Laws of the Cayman Islands and the Laws of Hong Kong in respect of the Change of Domicile; and |
| (iii) | the obtaining of all necessary approvals from the relevant regulatory authorities or otherwise as may be required in respect of the Change of Domicile (including but not limited to receiving the certificate of re-domiciliation issued by the Companies Registry). |
EFFECT OF THE CHANGE OF DOMICILE
Other than the expenses to be incurred, the Change of Domicile will not alter the underlying assets, investments, management or financial position of the Company nor the proportionate interests of the Shareholders. The Change of Domicile will not affect the operations of the Group in any significant way.
The Change of Domicile does not have the effect of creating a new legal entity and will not affect the business continuity of the Company.

When the Company becomes a Re-domiciled Company, a registered office will be established in Hong Kong in accordance with the Laws of Hong Kong.
Besides, the Change of Domicile will not involve the withdrawal of the listing of the Shares, any issue of new Shares, any transfer of assets of the Company or any change in the existing shareholding of the Company. Implementation of the Change of Domicile will not affect the listing status of the Company on the Stock Exchange.
The existing share certificates for the Shares will continue to be valid and effective as documents of title and for trading and settlement purpose after the Change of Domicile becomes effective. In general, unless otherwise specified, the existing share certificate(s) held by the Shareholders is/are not required to be exchanged for new share certificate(s).

REASONS FOR THE CHANGE OF DOMICILE
The considerations for the decision of the Change of Domicile include:
| (i) | the government of Hong Kong has introduced a company re-domiciliation regime, which took effect on 23 May 2025 and aimed to provide a simple, accessible and cost-effective route for non-Hong Kong corporations to re-domicile to Hong Kong while maintaining their legal identity as a body corporate and ensuring business continuity. As the Company has been listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange with a principal place of business in Hong Kong, after the Change of Domicile, it can reduce the complexity of multinational compliance, streamline the legal entity structure, and effectively lower the costs associated with compliance in multiple jurisdictions; |
| (ii) | the tradition of rule of law of Hong Kong emphasizes on fairness, consistency, and independent judiciary, which fosters a stable and predictable environment for running business in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is renowned as a global business and financial hub for the ease of doing business underpinned by a strong tradition of rule of law. Its open and efficient company governance regime, simple taxation system, world-class professional services and strategic geographical location have made it an international hub which attracts companies such as the Company to change of domicile to Hong Kong; and |
| (iii) | the Change of Domicile is an important initiative for the Company to further establish its presence in Hong Kong, which can enhance local and international investors’ confidence in the Company and facilitate communication between the Company and the investors. |
In light of the above reasons, the Board believes that the Change of Domicile is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
GENERAL
The Change of Domicile and the Adoption of the New Articles of Association are subject to the approval of the Shareholders. Given that the Circular shall comply with the relevant legal procedures and regulations under the Laws of the Cayman Islands and the Laws of Hong Kong, extra time is required for the Company to have such legal or regulatory consultations and opinions in the relevant jurisdictions. The Company will make further announcement(s) to inform the Shareholders and potential investors of the Company as soon as practicable, when there is a more solid development based on the actual progress of such regulatory consultations and more accurate details are available. When materialised, the Company will convene the EGM to consider and approve, among others, the Change of Domicile and the incidental matters, including but not limited to the Adoption of the New Articles of Association.
