The repurchase price per share shall not exceed 5% or more above the average closing price of the shares for the five trading days immediately preceding the relevant share repurchase.

All share repurchases will be conducted in accordance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, the rules, regulations, and provisions as may be amended from time to time by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong or any other recognized stock exchange, the Code on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Buy-backs, the Companies Ordinance, and all other applicable laws and regulations to which the company is subject.

The company will fund the share repurchases from its existing legally available cash reserves. The board believes that the company's current financial resources will enable it to implement the share repurchase while maintaining a sound financial position, effective operations, and sustainable growth.
