REASON FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE ACQUISITION OF HAINAN SEVEN ELEMENTS AND HAINAN YIHUAN

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The subsidiaries of the Company are principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of furnishings and home products, online game business, property investment and money lending business.

As set out in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019, the Group has been exploring the feasibilities of expansion into the lucrative online game business in the PRC. This will enable the Group's online game business to expand its customer base and increase the economy of scale for its operation. The Group is confident in developing its online game business into a prominent regional game distributor.

Each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan holds the Business Licence for Value- added Telecommunications Business and the Permit for Cyber Culture Business Operations for carrying on the online games business in the PRC. As part of the Group's plan for expanding its online games business into the PRC market, the Group has been interested in acquiring the equity interests in each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan. However, due to the PRC legal restrictions on investments in the PRC by foreign investors mentioned in the paragraph headed "Reasons for entering into the VIE Agreements" in this announcement below, the Group could not directly acquire any equity interests in Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan.

Although Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan are both principally engaged in the same activities and hold the same licence and permit and will serve as a platform for developing the Group's online games business in the PRC, each will be governed by a separate management team and will be serving different operational needs of the Group. Hainan Seven Elements will focus on publishing the Group's online game' titles through partnerships with various game platforms and by utilising traditional advertising methods. On the other hand, Hanan Yihuan will operate in conjunction with the esports business and will focus on publishing the Group's online game titles by utilising the Group's esports club for marketing such game titles to its massive fan base and followers from various social medias. The objective of such arrangement is to enable the development of the esports business as a separate business unit as well as to enable the management of the Group to better monitor and evaluate its business performance.

REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO THE VIE AGREEMENTS

Investments in the PRC by foreign investors is primarily regulated by 外商投資准入特別 管理措施(負面清單) (2019年版) (Special Administrative Measures (Negative List) for the Access of Foreign Investment (2019)*) (the "Negative List"), the version applicable at the time of signing the VIE Agreements, which is promulgated and amended from time to time jointly by the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC and the National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC.

Pursuant to the Negative List, the online game business in the PRC carried on by each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan falls into (i) the value-added telecommunication services business, which is considered "restricted"; and (ii) the internet cultural services business, which is considered "prohibited". Therefore, foreign investors can only operate the value-added telecommunication business in the PRC under joint ventures with the foreign portion of the total investment and hence shareholding below 50% whereas foreign investors are prohibited from investing in the internet cultural services business in the PRC. As a foreign investor, the Group would be prohibited from owning any equity interests in Hainan Seven Elements or Hainan Yihuan under the current PRC laws. As such, the establishment of the variable interest entity arrangements between (i) Hainan Wanhui and Hainan Seven Elements under the First VIE Agreements; and (ii) Hainan Wanhui and Hainan Yihuan under the Second VIE Agreements, are necessary for the Group to proceed with the acquisition of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan.

On 28 May 2020, Hainan Seven Elements, Hainan Wanhui and the Registered Shareholders entered into the First VIE Agreements in order to enable the financial results, the entire economic benefits and the risks of the businesses of Hainan Seven Elements to flow into Hainan Wanhui and to enable Hainan Wanhui to have indirect control over Hainan Seven Elements. The acquisition by Hainan Wanhui of the effective control of Hainan Seven Elements from the Registered Shareholders did not involve any consideration.

On 23 June 2020, Hainan Yihuan, Hainan Wanhui and Ms. Zheng Y.L. entered into the Second VIE Agreements in order to enable the financial results, the entire economic benefits and the risks of the businesses of Hainan Yihuan to flow into Hainan Wanhui and to enable Hainan Wanhui to have indirect control over Hainan Yihuan. The acquisition by Hainan Wanhui of the effective control of Hainan Yihuan from Ms. Zheng Y.L. did not involve any consideration.

- 9 -

The acquisition of the effective control of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan by Hainan Wanhui at nil consideration was determined after arms' length negotiations between Hainan Wanhui, on the one hand, and the Registered Shareholders or Ms. Zheng Y.L., on the other hand, taking into account the following factors: (i) each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan has not commenced its online game business and/or recorded any revenue from the date of its establishment and up to the date of this announcement; (ii) the total amount of assets of each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan is insignificant;

  1. the setup costs of each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan, including the cost for acquiring the relevant Business Licences for Value-added Telecommunications Business and the relevant Permits for Cyber Culture Business Operations is insignificant;
  2. the Group plans to inject capital into each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan by way of loans to support their respective general working capital needs; and (v) each of Ms. Zheng Q.F. and Ms. Zheng Y.L. will remain as part of the management team to oversee the operations of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan.

In view of the above, the Directors consider that the entering into of the VIE Agreements and the terms of the VIE Agreements, including the acquisition by Hainan Wanhui of the effective control of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan at nil consideration, are on normal commercial terms or better, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As at the date of this announcement, the Group has not encountered any interference or encumbrance from any governing bodies in operating its business through Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan under the VIE Agreements.

Protection of the interest and assets of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan

The VIE Agreements include a provision that each agreement is binding on the liquidators, the successors and permitted assignees of the respective parties.

- 25 -

The VIE Agreements also provide that, without the prior written consent of Hainan Wanhui,

  1. Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan shall not increase or decrease the registered capital or accept any investment or capital increase from the Registered Shareholders or Ms. Zheng Y.L. or any third parties to Hainan Seven Elements or Hainan Yihuan or change the form of the company or make any major adjustments regarding carrying out liquidation or dissolution; or the business scope, mode, profit model, marketing strategy, business policy or customer relationship; (ii) Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan shall not enter into any partnership or joint venture or profit sharing arrangement with any third parties, or any other arrangements for the transfer of benefits or profit sharing in the form of royalties, service fees or consultancy fees; and (iii) Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan shall not declare or distribute dividends, dividends or any other interests to its shareholders, including the after-tax profits that Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan has not yet allocated before the commencement of the VIE Agreements.

VIE Agreements confer control from Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan to Hainan Wanhui

The VIE Agreements confer upon the Group sufficient control over the board and daily operations of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan. The appointment of directors of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan is subject to approval from Hainan Wanhui. If Hainan Wanhui is dissatisfied with the performance of the director(s) of Hainan Seven Elements and/or Hainan Yihuan and proposes to remove such director(s), Hainan Seven Elements and/or Hainan Yihuan shall remove such person(s) as director(s) upon Hainan Wanhui's proposal.

Moreover, under the Management Services Agreements, Hainan Wanhui will formulate rules, regulations, internal control policies, risk control management systems, standards administration, accounting, budget, marketing, human resources and operating policies, as well as the practices which relevant to or affecting the business of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan, and assist Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan in the effective implementation of relevant policies and business practices.

Hainan Wanhui will retain the custody of the constitutional items of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan, including the company chop and seal. At the request of Hainan Wanhui, Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan will provide Hainan Wanhui with the relevant legal documents and other information on their business operation.

Internal control measures to be implemented by the Group

The VIE Agreements contain certain provisions in order to exercise effective control over and to safeguard the assets of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan. In addition to the internal control measures as provided in the VIE Agreements, the Company plans to adopt additional internal control measures over Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan to safeguard the relevant assets, which may include but not limited to the following:

  6. Company shall comply with the conditions prescribed under the waiver granted by the Stock Exchange in connection with the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the VIE Agreements.

- 27 -

Dispute resolutions and dealings with the assets of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan in winding up situation contained in the VIE Agreements

The terms of the VIE Agreements provide that the arbitration tribunal may award (i) remedies over the equity interests or assets of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan; or (ii) injunctive relief (e.g. for the conduct of business or to compel the transfer of assets); or (iii) order the winding up of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan.

The VIE Agreements also include a clause in relation to dispute resolution among the parties whereby, when awaiting the formation of the arbitration tribunal or otherwise under appropriate conditions, the parties thereto may seek temporary injunctive relief or other temporary remedies from the courts in Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands, the PRC and the location where the principal assets of the Company and Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan are located.

Rights to consolidate the accounts of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan pursuant to the VIE arrangements

The Company has confirmed with its auditors that it has the right to consolidate the accounts of each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan pursuant to the VIE arrangements.

VIE Arrangements would be terminated if the Company is allowed to operate without them

The Company agrees that it would unwind the VIE Agreements as soon as the relevant laws and regulations allow the value-added telecommunications business and the internet cultural services business in the PRC to be operated by foreign investors without adopting a VIE structure. However, it is uncertain at this stage when the restrictions on foreign ownership in value-added telecommunications businesses and the internet cultural services business will be lifted in the PRC.

Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan to return consideration to Hainan Wanhui upon termination of the VIE Agreements

Under the Irrevocable Option Agreements, upon termination of the VIE arrangements, the respective registered shareholders of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan must return to Hainan Wanhui or its nominee any consideration that such registered shareholders had received from Hainan Wanhui for the acquisition of the equity interests in Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan.

- 28 -

Hainan Seven Elements, Hainan Yihuan and their respective registered shareholders' right to terminate any of the VIE Agreements

Hainan Seven Elements, Hainan Yihuan and their respective registered shareholders are generally not entitled to terminate any of the VIE Agreement unless, among others, (a) the laws, regulations and departmental rules prohibit or restrict the carrying out of the terms of the VIE Agreements; (b) Hainan Wanhui breaches the terms of the VIE Agreements and has not rectified such breach within 20 days after receiving the relevant written notice; (c) Hainan Wanhui becomes bankrupt or is unable to repay its debts; (d) the occurrence of a force majeure event which continues for more than 120 days; and (e) if Hainan Wanhui becomes entitled to acquire the equity interests in each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan directly according to the PRC laws and if such equity interests in Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan were transferred to Hainan Wanhui.

PRC legal opinion in respect of the VIE Arrangements

The PRC legal advisers of the Company has confirmed, among others, that (i) save for the clause providing that the arbitration tribunal may award injunctive relief or winding up orders and that the courts in Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands and the PRC may grant temporary injunctive relief or other temporary remedies, the use of the VIE structures and the VIE Agreements do not violate the relevant prevailing laws and regulations in the PRC;

  1. the VIE Agreements would not be deemed as concealing illegal intentions with a lawful form and void under the PRC contract law; and (iii) save for the clause providing that the arbitration tribunal may award injunctive relief or winding up orders and that the courts in Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands and the PRC may grant temporary injunctive relief or other temporary remedies, which may not be enforceable under PRC law, the VIE Agreements are enforceable under the laws of the PRC. Based on the above, the Directors believe that the VIE Agreements conferring significant control and economic benefits from Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan to Hainan Wanhui are enforceable under the relevant laws and regulations.

Directors' view

The Directors are of the view that the terms of the VIE Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

- 29 -

RISKS AND LIMITATIONS RELATING TO THE VIE STRUCTURES

  1. Economic risks of the Company
    Hainan Wanhui, as the primary beneficiary of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan, is not obligated under any of the VIE Agreements to share the losses of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan or provide financial support to Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan. Moreover, as a limited liability company, each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan is solely liable for its own debts and losses. However, since the relevant parties have already entered into VIE Agreements, the financial results of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group and it is likely that the Company's business and financial position will be affected if Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan suffer losses or fails to obtain the requisite licenses and approvals to continue operating their respective online games business in the PRC.
  2. Limitations in exercising the options to acquire ownership in Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan
    In the case that Hainan Wanhui exercises its options to acquire all or part of the equity interests in Hainan Seven Elements and/or Hainan Yihuan under the respective Irrevocable Option Agreement(s), the acquisition of the entire equity interests in Hainan Seven Elements and/or Hainan Yihuan may only be conducted to the extent as permitted by the applicable PRC laws and may be subject to necessary approvals and relevant procedures under applicable PRC laws.
    Further, a substantial amount of other costs (if any), expenses and time may be involved in transferring the ownership of Hainan Seven Elements and/or Hainan Yihuan, which may have a material adverse impact on Hainan Wanhui's businesses, prospects and results of operation.
    Hainan Wanhui may need to pay a substantial amount of enterprise income tax for the income from the ownership transfer according to the First Irrevocable Option Agreement and the Second Irrevocable Option Agreement.

- 30 -

  1. Arrangements when potential conflicts of interest arise
    Hainan Wanhui shall rely on the VIE Agreements to exercise control over and to draw the economic benefits from Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan. Hainan Wanhui may not be able to provide sufficient incentives to the Registered Shareholders or Ms. Zheng Y.L. for the purpose of encouraging them/her to act in the best interests of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan, other than stipulating the relevant obligations in the VIE Agreements. The Registered Shareholders or Ms. Zheng Y.L. may breach the VIE Agreements in the event of conflicts of interest or deterioration of their/her relationship with Hainan Wanhui, the results of which may have a material adverse impact on Hainan Wanhui's business, prospects and results of operation.
    It is not assured that if conflicts arise, the Registered Shareholders or Ms. Zheng Y.L. will act in the best interests of Hainan Wanhui or that the conflicts will be resolved in favour of Hainan Wanhui. If any of the Registered Shareholders or Ms. Zheng Y.L. fail to perform their/her obligations under the respective VIE Agreements, Hainan Wanhui may have to rely on legal remedies under the PRC laws through legal proceedings, which may be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to Hainan Wanhui's operations and will be subject to uncertainties as discussed above.
  2. Other risks relating to the VIE Agreements
    Firstly, although (i) there is currently no indication that the VIE Agreements will be interfered or objected by any PRC regulatory authorities; and (ii) the PRC legal adviser of the Company is of the view that save for the clause providing that the arbitration tribunal may award injunctive relief or winding up orders and that the courts in Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands and the PRC may grant temporary injunctive relief or other temporary remedies, the VIE Agreements do not violate any prevailing PRC laws or regulations, uncertainties still exist regarding the interpretation and application of the PRC laws and regulations especially in the areas of value-added telecommunication services business and the internet cultural services business. For instance, the PRC regulatory authorities may issue further guidelines that impose stricter foreign ownership requirements in that area of business. Given the uncertain legal and business environment in the PRC, it is difficult to foresee whether the PRC regulatory authorities will take the same view regarding the VIE Agreements as the PRC legal adviser of the Company in the future.

- 31 -

Secondly, the VIE Agreements may not provide control as effective as direct ownership. Hainan Wanhui does not have any direct equity ownership in Hainan Seven Elements and/or Hainan Yihuan and has relied on the VIE Agreements to effect changes in the management of Hainan Seven Elements and/or Hainan Yihuan and make an impact on its business decision making, as opposed to exercising its rights directly as a shareholder. If Hainan Seven Elements, Hainan Yihuan or their respective shareholder(s) refuse to cooperate, the Company will face difficulties in effecting control over the businesses of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan through the VIE structures, which may adversely affect the Company's business efficiency.

Thirdly, the VIE Agreements may be subject to scrutiny by the tax authorities and additional tax may be imposed. Under the Management Services Agreements, Hainan Seven Elements and/or Hainan Yihuan are required to pay Hainan Wanhui service fees for the services rendered by Hainan Wanhui. Such service fee payments between related parties may be subject to scrutiny or challenge by the PRC tax authorities within ten years after the taxable year when such transactions are conducted.

Fourthly, the VIE Agreements are governed by the PRC laws. When a dispute arises under any of the VIE Agreements, the parties to the dispute may have to rely on legal remedies under the PRC laws. The VIE Agreements provide that dispute will be submitted to Shenzhen Court of International Arbitration for arbitration to be conducted in Shenzhen. The decision of such arbitration is final and binding on the parties to the dispute.

Since the legal environment in the PRC is different from that in Hong Kong and other jurisdictions, the uncertainties in the PRC legal system could limit the ability of Hainan Wanhui to enforce the VIE Agreements. There is no assurance that such arbitration result will be in favour of Hainan Wanhui and/or that there will not be any difficulties in enforcing any arbitral awards granted, including specific performance or injunctive relief and claiming damages by Hainan Wanhui. As Hainan Wanhui may not be able to obtain sufficient remedies in a timely manner, its ability to exert effective control over Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan and the conduct of the value-added telecommunication services business and the internet cultural services business could be materially and adversely affected, and may disrupt the business of Hainan Wanhui and have a material adverse impact on Hainan Wanhui's business, prospects and results of operation.

Lastly, the VIE Agreements provide that the arbitration tribunal may award remedies over the equity interests or assets of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan or injunctive relief (e.g. for the conduct of business or to compel the transfer of assets) or order the winding up of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan. The VIE Agreements also include a clause in relation to dispute resolution among the parties where, when awaiting the formation of the arbitration tribunal or otherwise under appropriate conditions, the parties thereto may seek temporary injunctive relief or other temporary remedies from the courts in Hong Kong, Cayman Islands, the PRC and the location where the principal assets of the Company and Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan are located.

- 32 -

However, the PRC legal adviser of the Company is of the view that pursuant to the PRC laws, the arbitration tribunal may have no power to grant the aforementioned remedies or injunctive relief or to order the winding up of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan. In addition, even though the VIE Agreements provide that overseas courts (e.g. courts in Hong Kong and Cayman Islands) shall have the power to grant certain relief or remedies, such relief or remedies may not be recognised or enforced under the PRC laws. As a result, in the event that Hainan Seven Elements, Hainan Yihuan or their respective shareholder(s) breaches the terms of the VIE Agreements, the Company may not be able to obtain sufficient remedies in a timely manner, and its ability to exert effective control over Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan could be materially and adversely affected.

Hainan Wanhui currently does not maintain any insurance to cover the risks relating to the VIE Agreements.

WAIVER FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH RULES 14A.52 AND 14A.53 OF THE LISTING RULES

Notwithstanding that the transactions contemplated under the VIE Agreements technically constitute continuing connected transaction for the purpose of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the Directors consider that it would be unduly burdensome and impracticable, and would add unnecessary administration costs to the Company, for all transactions contemplated under the VIE Agreements to be subject to strict compliance with the requirements set forth under Rule 14A.53 and Rule 14A.52 of the Listing Rules.

The Company applied to the Stock Exchange, and the Stock Exchange has granted, for a waiver to the Company from (i) setting maximum aggregate annual caps for the management services fee payable by each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan to Hainan Wanhui under the Management Services Agreements pursuant to Rule 14A.53 of the Listing Rules; and (ii) setting a fixed term for each of the VIE Agreements pursuant to Rule

  2. the framework of the VIE structures may be renewed and/or cloned upon the expiry of the existing arrangements or in relation to any existing or new wholly foreign-owned enterprise or operating company (including branch company) that the Group may wish to establish, without obtaining the approval of the independent shareholders of the Company, on substantially the same terms and conditions as the VIE Agreements. The directors, chief executive or substantial shareholders (as defined in the Listing Rules) of any existing or new wholly foreign-owned enterprise or operating company (including branch company) that the Group may establish upon renewal and/or cloning of the VIE Agreements will be treated as the Group's connected persons and transactions between these connected persons and the Group other than those under similar VIE Agreements shall comply with Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. This condition is subject to compliance with the relevant laws, regulations and approvals of the PRC;
  3. unless the transactions are exempt under the Listing Rules, the Group will disclose details relating to the VIE Agreements on an ongoing basis as follows:
    1. the VIE Agreements will be disclosed in the Company's annual reports and accounts in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Listing Rules;

- 34 -

  1. the independent non-executive Directors will review the VIE Agreements annually and confirm in the Company's annual report and accounts for the relevant year that: (a) the transactions carried out during such year have been entered into in accordance with the relevant provisions of the VIE Agreements and that the revenue generated by each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan (minus all relevant costs, expenses and taxes payable by each of them) has been substantially retained by Hainan Wanhui; (b) no dividends or other distributions have been made by either Hainan Seven Elements or Hainan Yihuan to the holders of its equity interests which are not otherwise subsequently assigned or transferred to the Group; and (c) any new contracts entered into, renewed and/or cloned between the Group on the one hand and Hainan Seven Elements and/or Hainan Yihuan on the other hand during the relevant financial period under paragraph (d) above are fair and reasonable, or advantageous, so far as the Group is concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole;
  2. the Group's auditors will carry out review procedures annually on the transactions carried out pursuant to the VIE Agreements and will provide a letter to the Directors with a copy to the Stock Exchange, at least ten business days before the bulk printing of the Company's annual report, confirming that (a) the transactions have been approved by the Directors; (b) the transactions have been entered into, in all material respects, in accordance with the relevant VIE Agreements; and (c) that no dividends or other distributions have been made by either Hainan Seven Elements or Hainan Yihuan to the holders of its equity interests which are not otherwise subsequently assigned/transferred to the Group;
  3. for the purpose of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan will be treated as the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, and its directors, chief executives or substantial shareholders and their respective associates (as defined in the Listing Rules) will be treated as connected persons of the Company and transactions between these connected persons and the Group, other than those under the VIE Agreements, will be subject to requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules; and
  4. each of Hainan Seven Elements, Hainan Yihuan and its registered shareholders will undertake that, for so long as the shares of the Company are listed on the Stock Exchange, each of Hainan Seven Elements, Hainan Yihuan and its registered shareholders will provide the Group's management and the Company's auditors with full access to its relevant records for the purpose of the Company's auditors' review of the connected transactions.

- 35 -

Save as described in paragraph (d) above, if any terms of the VIE Agreements are altered or if the Company enters into any new agreements with any connected persons in the future, the Company must fully comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules unless it applies for and obtains a separate waiver from the Stock Exchange.

As at the date of this announcement, (i) Hainan Seven Elements is owned as to 95% by Ms. Zheng Q.F. and 5% by Ms. Zheng Y.L.; (ii) Hainan Yihuan is wholly-owned by Ms. Zheng Y.L.; and (iii) each of Ms. Zheng Q.F. and Ms. Zheng Y.L. is a relative of Mr. Cheng Ting Kong, an executive Director and the controlling shareholder. As such, each of Ms. Zheng Q.F., Ms. Zheng Y.L., Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan is a deemed connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As the applicable percentage ratios (other than the profits ratio) in respect of the expected annual services fee payable by each of Hainan Seven Elements and Hainan Yihuan to Hainan Wanhui under each of the First Management Services Agreement and the Second Management Services Agreement respectively during its term may be more than 5%, the transactions contemplated under the VIE Agreements will constitute continuing connected transactions on the part of the Company and may be subject to the reporting, announcement, annual review and the independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Notwithstanding that the transactions contemplated under each of the VIE Agreements technically constitute continuing connected transactions on the part of the Company for the purposes of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the Directors consider that it would be unduly burdensome and impracticable, and would add unnecessary administrative costs to the Company, (i) for the transactions contemplated under each of the First VIE Agreements and the Second VIE Agreements, being the service fees payable under each of the First Management Services Agreement and the Second Management Services Agreement respectively, to be subject to the annual cap requirement under Rule 14A.53 of the Listing Rules; and (ii) for the term of each of the VIE Agreements to be limited to three years or less under Rule 14A.52 of the Listing Rules.

The Company applied for, and the Stock Exchange has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with the requirements of (i) setting annual caps for the transactions contemplated under each of the VIE Agreements under Rule 14A.53 of the Listing Rules; and (ii) limiting the term of each of the VIE Agreements to three years or less pursuant to Rule 14A.52 of the Listing Rules, subject to the conditions set out in this announcement.
