VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

Reference is made to (i) the announcements issued by The Sincere Company, Limited ("Sincere") dated 4 February 2021, 25 February 2021, 16 April 2021 and 4 May 2021 in relation to, among other matters, the HK$150 million Loan Facility (collectively, the "Sincere Announcements"); (ii) the voluntary announcements issued by Realord Group Holdings Limited ("Realord") on 5 May 2021 and 6 May 2021 (the "Realord Announcements"); and (iii) the offer document issued by Realord dated 5 May 2021 in relation to, among other matters, the Offer (the "Offer Document").

Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Sincere Announcements, the Realord Announcements and the Offer Document.

UPDATE ON THE SECOND PROPOSAL

As stated in the Realord Announcements, the Second Proposal was welcomed by Sincere. The legal adviser of Realord had provided revised and substantially complete drafts of the related loan documents under the Second Proposal to the legal adviser of Sincere on 7 May 2021. Realord is waiting for response from the Sincere Board regarding the draft loan documents under the Second Proposal.

Further, through Sincere's financial adviser, Realord received a letter from the legal adviser of the Lender on 7 May 2021 stating, among others, that non-payment of the outstanding amount under the HK$150 million Loan Facility by Sincere has constituted an event of default under the loan agreement and debenture of the HK$150 million Loan Facility. As a result, among others, the related clauses in the loan agreement and debenture of the HK$150 million Loan Facility had been triggered. In view of this, Realord has urged Sincere to make every effort to approve and sign all the relevant loan documents under the Second Proposal as soon as practicable and in any event no later than 11:00 a.m. on 10 May 2021 (Monday). This is necessary in order to save Sincere from any adverse implications arising from the overdue repayment of the outstanding amount under the HK$150 million Loan Facility.
