announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability
|

whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this
|

announcement.
|
||
This announcement does not constitute or form a part of any offer or solicitation to purchase or subscribe for securities
|
||
in Hong Kong, the United States or elsewhere. The Offer Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the
|
||
United States Securities Act of 1933 as amended from time to time (the “U.S. Securities Act ”). The Offer Shares may
|
||
not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
|
||
registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and in accordance with any applicable U.S. state securities laws.
|
||
There will be no public offer of the Offer Shares in the United States. The Offer Shares are being offered and sold
|
||
outside the United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act.
|
||
This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an invitation or offer to acquire, purchase
|
||
or subscribe for securities. This announcement is not a prospectus. Potential investors should read the Prospectus for
|
||
detailed information about the Global Offering described below before deciding whether or not to invest in the Shares
|
||
thereby being offered.
|
||
In connection with the Global Offering, Yue Xiu Securities Company Limited (the “Stabilising Manager ”), its
|
||
affiliates or any person acting for it, on behalf of the Underwriters, may over-allocate and effect transactions with
|
||
a view to stabilising or supporting the market price of the Shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise
|
||
prevail for a limited period after the Listing Date. However, there is no obligation on the Stabilising Manager, its
|
||
affiliates or any person acting for it, to conduct any such stabilising action, which, if commenced, will be done at
|
||
the sole and absolute discretion of the Stabilising Manager, its affiliates or any person acting for it, and may be
|
||
discontinued at any time. Any such stabilising activity is required to be brought to an end on Wednesday, 23 April
|
||
2025, being the 30th day after the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering.
|
||
Such stabilisation action, if taken, may be effected in all jurisdictions where it is permissible to do so, in each case
|
||
in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulatory requirements, including the Securities and Futures (Price
|
||
Stabilizing) Rules (Chapter 571W of the Laws of Hong Kong), as amended, made under the Securities and Futures
|
||
Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
|
||
Potential investors should be aware that stabilising action cannot be taken to support the price of the Shares for longer
|
||
than the stabilisation period which begins on the Listing Date and is expected to expire on Wednesday, 23 April 2025,
|
||
being the 30th day after the last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. After this date, no
|
||
further stabilising action may be taken, and demand for the Shares, and therefore the price of the Shares, could fall.
|
||
Potential investors of the Offer Shares should note that the Sole Overall Coordinator (for itself and on behalf of the
|
||
Hong Kong Underwriters and the Capital Market Intermediaries) shall be entitled to terminate its obligations under
|
||
the Hong Kong Underwriting Agreement with immediate effect upon the occurrence of any of the events set out in
|
||
the paragraph headed “Underwriting { Underwriting Arrangements and Expenses { Hong Kong Public Offering
|
||
{ Grounds for termination ” in the Prospectus at any time prior to 8:00 a.m. on the Listing Date (which is currently
|
||
expected to be on Thursday, 27 March 2025).
|
||
In connection with the Global Offering, the Company is expected to grant the Over-allotment Option to the
|
||
International Underwriters, exercisable by the Sole Overall Coordinator (for itself and on behalf of the International
|
||
Underwriters). Pursuant to the Over-allotment Option, the International Underwriters will have the right, exercisable
|
||
by the Sole Overall Coordinator (for itself and on behalf of the International Underwriters) at any time from the Listing
|
||
Date until 30 days after the last day for lodging applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering being Wednesday,
|
||
23 April 2025, to require the Company to issue and allot up to 37,500,000 additional Offer Shares, representing
|
||
15% of Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering, at the Offer Price, to cover over-allocations in the
|
||
International Offering, if any.
