After this date, when no further stabilizing action may be taken, demand for the H Shares, and therefore the price of the H Shares, could fall. --- page 2 --- 2 Laopu Gold Co., Ltd.* 老鋪 黃 金股份有限公司 (A joint stock company incorporated in the People ’s Republic of China with limited liability) GLOBAL OFFERING Number of Offer Shares under the Global Offering : 22,368,900 H Shares (taking into account the full exercise of the Offer Size Adjustment Option and subject to the Over-allotment Option) Number of Hong Kong Offer Shares : 11,184,500 H Shares (as adjusted after reallocation and taking into account the full exercise of the Offer Size Adjustment Option) Number of International Offer Shares : 11,184,400 H Shares (as adjusted after reallocation and taking into account the full exercise of the Offer Size Adjustment Option and subject to the Over-allotment Option) Offer Price : HK$40.50 per H Share, plus brokerage of 1.0%, SFC transaction levy of 0.0027%, AFRC transaction levy of 0.00015% and Hong Kong Stock Exchange trading fee of 0.00565% (payable in full on application in Hong Kong dollars and subject to refund) Nominal value : RMB1.00 per H Share Stock code : 6181 Sole Sponsor Sole Overall Coordinator and Sole Global Coordinator Joint Bookrunners and Joint Lead Managers Joint Lead Manager * For identification purpose only --- page 3 --- LAOPU GOLD CO., LTD* / 老鋪黃金股份有限公司 ANNOUNCEMENT OF ALLOTMENT RESULTS Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the prospectus dated June 20, 2024 (the “Prospectus”) issued by Laopu Gold Co., Ltd.* (the “Company”).
