Footnotes (1)
- On April 24, 2026, the Company canceled 5,400 repurchased Class A ordinary shares. As this cancellation reduced the total number of shares in issue, absent any corresponding adjustment, the proportion of shares carrying weighted voting rights (WVR) would have increased. Accordingly, in compliance with Rule 8A.15 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited, Mr. Chen, as a WVR beneficiary, caused Unileo Limited to convert 237 Class B ordinary shares into Class A ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis, so as to reduce his weighted voting rights proportionately. Represent shares held through Unileo Limited, a limited liability company incorporated under the laws of BVI wholly owned by the reporting person.

weighted voting rights financial
"the proportion of shares carrying weighted voting rights (WVR) would have increased"
A system where some shares carry more voting power than others so certain owners can control corporate decisions with fewer shares. Think of it like tickets to a meeting where some tickets count for five votes and others for one: it lets founders or insiders steer strategy and board picks even if they don't own most of the stock. For investors this affects corporate governance, the protection of minority shareholders, and how much influence public holders have over major decisions.

restructuring financial
"restructuringCount: 2, restructuringShares: 474"
Restructuring is a deliberate rearrangement of a company’s operations, finances, or ownership—like reorganizing a cluttered house to run more efficiently—often involving cost cuts, asset sales, debt changes, or staff moves. Investors pay attention because restructuring can improve profitability and free up cash, but it can also signal distress, incur one-time costs, or dilute shareholder value; its success affects future earnings and stock performance.
