UPDATE ON THE USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE LISTING; AND

SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT

TO 2019 ANNUAL REPORT

References are made to the section headed ''Future Plans and Use of Proceeds'' of the prospectus of Town Ray Holdings Limited (the ''Company'', together with its subsidiaries, the ''Group'') dated 15 October 2019 (the ''Prospectus'') and the paragraph headed ''Management Discussion and Analysis - Use of Proceeds'' in the 2019 annual report of the Company published on 17 April 2020 (the ''2019 Annual Report''). Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Prospectus and the 2019 Annual Report.

This announcement is made to provide update to the use of proceeds from the Listing and supplemental information to the 2019 Annual Report.

As disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report, the net proceeds from the Listing, after deducting underwriting fees and related expenses relating to the Listing were approximately HK$90.7 million (the ''Net Proceeds''). As at 31 December 2019, approximately HK$0.9 million of the Net Proceeds had been utilised by the Group according to the allocation set out in the Prospectus.

As at the date of this announcement, the Group utilised approximately HK$9.4 million of the Net Proceeds and the unutilised Net Proceeds amounted to approximately HK$81.3 million (the ''Unutilised Net Proceeds''). Having considered the recent business environment and development of the Group, in particular, the adverse impact of the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic (the ''Pandemic'') to the economy and business environment and the consumers' demand in areas where the major customers of the Group are located, the Board resolved to revise the schedule of the use of the Unutilised Net Proceeds. The Board is of the view that this expected timeline would be appropriate and in the interest of the Company and the shareholders as a whole.
