CLARIFICATION ANNOUNCEMENT

QUARTERLY UPDATE ON RESUMPTION PROGRESS

Reference is made to the announcement of FDG Electric Vehicles Limited (Provisional Liquidators Appointed) (the "Company") dated 28 January 2021 (the "Announcement") relating to quarterly update on resumption progress. Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as defined in the Announcement.

Reference is made to the paragraph headed "Update on Rights Issue" in the Announcement. The Company wishes to clarify that there has been a delay in obtaining the validation order (the application of which was filed on 10 March 2020, Bermuda time) regarding the issuance of the Rights Shares, mainly because (i) the hearing scheduled on 3 April 2020 was adjourned due to the closure of the Bermuda Court owing to COVID-19 pandemic; (ii) the Company was placed into provisional liquidation on 12 March 2020 (Bermuda time). Based on the Company's existing financial position, the Company is insolvent and does not have sufficient assets to satisfy its outstanding debts; and (iii) since the appointment of the New JSPLs on 20 July 2020, they have been (a) taking steps in obtaining control of the subsidiaries of the Company; (b) actively pursuing other urgent matters, including but not limited to legal proceedings that were commenced by the Company prior to the provisional liquidation or that the Company and/or its subsidiaries are being named as defendants in Bermuda and Hong Kong; (c) handling issues and discussions with various parties concerning the Company's interests and affairs in major subsidiaries of the Company; and

  1. contacting various parties regarding the possibility of restructuring of the Group which the New JSPLs consider would be beneficial to the creditors and the Shareholders of the Company.

The New JSPLs will seek legal advice from their Bermuda lawyer and intend to follow up on the validation order application of the Right Shares once (i) there is a probable restructuring proposal
