The
purpose of this circular is to provide you with the relevant information regarding (i) the granting of the Repurchase Mandate and the

the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the aforesaid matters.
A
notice convening the AGM is set out on pages 16 to 21 of this circular.
| 2. |
REPURCHASE
MANDATE AND SHARE ISSUE MANDATE |
Pursuant
to the resolutions passed by the Shareholders on 27 June 2025, the Board was granted the general and unconditional mandates to issue,
allot and repurchase Shares. Such general mandates will lapse upon the conclusion of the AGM. In order to ensure flexibility for the
Board to issue, allot and repurchase Shares, ordinary resolutions will be proposed to seek for Shareholders’ approval at the AGM
to renew the Repurchase Mandate and to grant the Share Issue Mandate. Details of such ordinary resolutions are set out in ordinary resolutions
numbered 5, 6, 7 in the notice of the AGM. The Repurchase Mandate and the Share Issue Mandate, if approved at the AGM, will continue
in force until (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, (ii) the expiry of the period within which the next
annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or applicable laws to be held or (iii) the revocation or variation
of the authority given to the Directors by ordinary resolution by the Shareholders in general meeting, whichever occurs first.
An
explanatory statement as required by the Listing Rules to provide the Shareholders with all the information reasonably necessary for
them to make an informed decision on the proposed resolution for the granting of the Repurchase Mandate is set out in Appendix I to this
circular.
| 3. |
RE-ELECTION
OF DIRECTORS |
Pursuant
to Article 108(a) of the Articles, Mr. Chan Yick Yan Andross, Mr. Zhao Aiyong and Mr. Ren Chunyu will retire by rotation at the AGM.
Mr. Chan Yick Yan Andross, Mr. Zhao Aiyong and Mr. Ren Chunyu, being eligible, will offer themselves for re-election at the AGM. The
biographical details are set out in Appendix II to this circular.
The
Nomination Committee is responsible to identify individuals suitably qualified to become Board members and select or make recommendations
to the Board on the selection of individuals nominated for directorships and to assess the independence of Independent Non-executive
Directors. The Board will have the final authority on determining the selection of nominees for directorships recommended by the Nomination
Committee.
The
Nomination Committee has also considered the skills, knowledge and professional experience of Mr. Chan Yick Yan Andross, Mr. Zhao Aiyong
and Mr. Ren Chunyu as described in their biography set out in Appendix II to this circular, having regard to the Company’s board
diversity policy and is of the view that each of Mr. Chan Yick Yan Andross, Mr. Zhao Aiyong and Mr. Ren Chunyu has extensive industry
experience in business, legal, landscape architecture and accounting respectively that is relevant to the Company’s business. In
addition, their strong educational background, as well as their breadth and diversity of experience has enabled them to provide valuable
and diverse views, as well as relevant insights to the Board and to contribute to the diversity of the Board.
With
the recommendations of the Nomination Committee, the Board has proposed Mr. Chan Yick Yan Andross, Mr. Zhao Aiyong and Mr. Ren Chunyu
stand for re-election as Directors at the AGM. As good corporate governance practice, each of Mr. Chan Yick Yan Andross, Mr. Zhao Aiyong
and Mr. Ren Chunyu abstained from voting at the relevant Board meeting on the respective propositions of their re-election by the Shareholders
at the AGM.

| APPENDIX I |
|
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE |
This
Appendix serves as an explanatory statement, as required to be sent to all Shareholders under the Listing Rules, to provide the relevant
information in connection with the Repurchase Mandate.
| 1. |
LISTING
RULES RELATING TO THE REPURCHASES OF SECURITIES |
The
Listing Rules permit companies whose primary listing is on the Stock Exchange to repurchase shares on the Stock Exchange and any other
stock exchange on which securities of the company are listed and such exchange is recognised by the Securities and Futures Commission
of Hong Kong subject to certain restrictions. Among such restrictions, the Listing Rules provide that the shares of such company must
be fully paid up and all repurchases of shares by such company must be approved in advance by an ordinary resolution of shareholders,
either by way of a general mandate or by specific approval of a particular transaction.
| 2. |
EXERCISE
OF THE REPURCHASE MANDATE |
The
Directors believe that the flexibility afforded by the mandate granted to them if the Repurchase Mandate is approved would be beneficial
to the Company.
As
at the Latest Practicable Date, 941,313,336 Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) were in issue and outstanding.
It
is proposed that up to 10% of the issued and outstanding Shares as at the date of the passing of the resolution to approve the Repurchase
Mandate may be repurchased. Subject to the passing of the ordinary resolution set out in item 7 of the notice for the AGM, the Board
would be authorised to repurchase up to 94,131,333 Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any), provided that the number of Shares which
the Company may be repurchased may not exceed 10% of the number of issued Shares (excluding treasury shares, if any) as at the date the
ordinary resolution is passed, during the period up to the earlier of: (i) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting held; (ii)
the expiration of the period within which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles or applicable laws
to be held; or (iii) the revocation or variation of the Repurchase Mandate by ordinary resolution of the Shareholders at a general meeting
of the Company.
| APPENDIX I |
|
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE |
| 3. |
REASONS
FOR REPURCHASES |
Repurchases
of Shares will only be made if the Board is of the view that such a repurchase will benefit the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
Such repurchases may, depending on the market conditions and funding arrangements at the time, lead to an enhancement of the net value
of the Company and its assets and/or its earnings per Share.
| 4. |
FUNDING
OF REPURCHASES |
Any
exercise of the Repurchase Mandate would be financed entirely from the Company’s available cash flow or working capital. Any repurchases
will be made out of funds of the Company that are legally permitted to be utilised in this connection in accordance with the Company’s
Memorandum and Articles, the Listing Rules and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.
On
the basis of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2025 (being the date of its latest published audited financial statements)
and taking into account the current working capital position of the Company and the number of Shares now in issue, the Directors consider
that there might be material adverse impact on the working capital or gearing position of the Company in the event that the Repurchase
Mandate is to be exercised in full during the proposed repurchase period. The Directors will consider the financial conditions of the
Company prevailing at the time whenever they consider exercising the Repurchase Mandate and do not propose to exercise the Repurchase
Mandate to such extent as would, in the circumstances, have a material adverse effect on the working capital requirements or the gearing
levels of the Group at the time of the relevant repurchases unless the Directors determine that such repurchases are, taking into account
all relevant factors, in the best interests of the Company.
| 5. |
STATUS
OF REPURCHASED SECURITIES |
The
Company may cancel the Shares repurchased or hold them as treasury shares, subject to market conditions and the Group’s capital
management needs at the relevant time of the repurchases. The Company will ensure compliance with the Listing Rules in respect of any
treasury shares held by it as a result of the repurchases.
| 6. |
INTENTION
TO SELL SHARES |
None
of the Directors, and to the best of their knowledge, having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the close associates (as defined
in the Listing Rules) of the Directors, have any present intention, if the Repurchase Mandate is approved by the Shareholders, to sell
any Shares to the Company or its subsidiaries.
| APPENDIX I |
|
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT FOR REPURCHASE MANDATE |
| 7. |
DIRECTORS’
UNDERTAKING |
The
Directors have undertaken to the Stock Exchange that, so far as the same may be applicable, they will exercise the power of the Company
to make purchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Company’s Memorandum and Articles, the Listing Rules
and the applicable laws and regulations of the Cayman Islands.
| 8. |
SHARE
REPURCHASE MADE BY THE COMPANY |
No
repurchases of Shares have been made by the Company during the six months prior to the Latest Practicable Date (whether on the Stock
Exchange or otherwise).
| 9. |
TAKEOVERS
CODE CONSEQUENCES |
If,
as a result of a repurchase of Shares by the Company, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company
increases, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of Rule 32 of the Takeovers Code. As a result, a Shareholder,
or group of Shareholders acting in concert, depending on the level of increase of its or their shareholding, could obtain or consolidate
control of the Company and become obliged to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
As
at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best knowledge of the Company, none of Shareholders were interested in more than 10% of the Shares
then in issue.
In
the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full and assuming that there is no other change in the issued share capital of
the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of repurchase, the shareholding of these Shareholders in the Company would
be increased.
Such
increase may give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Directors have no intention
to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent as would result in takeover obligations. Save as disclosed above, the Directors
are not aware of any Shareholder or group of Shareholders acting in concert, who may become obliged to make a mandatory offer under Rule
26 of the Takeovers Code as a consequence of any repurchases pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate.
The
Directors have no intention to exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such an extent that would result in the number of Shares in the hands
of public falling below the prescribed minimum percentage of 25%. The Directors will not exercise the Repurchase Mandate to such extent
that may jeopardise the public float requirement.
