Dear Shareholders,

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION

REVISION OF ANNUAL CAPS

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 7 August 2020 regarding the captioned matter.

The Group is a vertically integrated manufacturing services provider with business models offering a comprehensive range of end-to-end components and manufacturing and engineering services to its customers in respect of handsets and other wireless communication devices and consumer electronic products, including unique and innovative product development and

- 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

design, casings (including casings sold to customers and casings used to manufacture complete handsets for delivery to customers), components, PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly), full-system assembly etc., and supply chain services and solutions, and repair and other after- sales services which are located close to the customers. In addition to handsets, the Group is engaged in the manufacturing of other wireless communication devices and consumer electronic products and accessories and related areas, such as e-Readers, tablets and voice interaction products like smart speakers.

The Hon Hai Technology Group is the leading global manufacturing service provider in the 3C industries. Hon Hai is the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company holding approximately 61.94% of the total number of issued shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and therefore is a connected person of the Company.

The Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group have been carrying out the Product Sales Transaction from time to time under the Framework Product Sales Agreement. As Hon Hai is a connected person of the Company, the Product Sales Transaction constitutes a continuing connected transaction for the Company. With reference to the continuing connected transactions announcement of the Company dated 9 October 2019, the circular of the Company dated 14 November 2019 and the poll results announcement of the Company dated 6 December 2019, among other things, the Company set the Existing Annual Caps. The Company anticipates that the Existing Annual Caps may not be sufficient and proposes to revise them.

Based on the maximum amount of the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, the Product Sales Transaction constitutes a non-exempt continuing connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps are subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

The Company will convene the EGM to seek the Independent Shareholders' approval for the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps. The Company has established the Independent Board Committee and has appointed the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with (i) details of the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps; (ii) the letter of advice from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders; (iii) the letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders; and (iv) a notice of the EGM.

PRODUCT SALES TRANSACTION

Pursuant to the Framework Product Sales Agreement, for a term up to 31 December 2022, the Group has agreed to sell or procure its subsidiaries to sell to the Hon Hai Technology Group products (including but not limited to materials and components, tooling, light-guides and finished goods generally) manufactured, owned or held (coupled with interest) by the Group that may be used in connection with or for the purposes of the businesses of the Hon Hai Technology Group from time to time as well as such other products (including but not

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

limited to any materials and components) as may be agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group from time to time upon and subject to the terms and conditions set out therein. In this respect, the scope of the aforesaid materials and components covers die-casting parts, flexible PCBs (printed circuit boards), PCBs, display/touch modules, heat sinks, work-in- progress generally and other materials and components that may be used in connection with or for the purposes of the businesses of the Hon Hai Technology Group from time to time as well as such other materials and/or components as may be agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group from time to time.

Pricing terms

Under the Product Sales Transaction, the applicable price of the products to be sold to the Hon Hai Technology Group will be determined based on the following:

  1. where the Group has been approved or otherwise designated by the relevant customers of the Hon Hai Technology Group, at the price agreed between the Group and such customers; if not, at a price to be determined by reference to the average market price; or
  2. where (1) above is not appropriate or applicable, at a price to be agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group upon the basis of the principle of ''cost plus''; or
  3. where none of the above pricing bases is appropriate or applicable, at a price to be agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group based on reasonable commercial principles.

Under the Product Sales Transaction, the Group sells to the Hon Hai Technology Group products including, but not limited to, handset products, handset parts and moulds used in handset manufacturing and other consumer electronic products. Due to changes in the specifications of the handset products and technological changes, the specifications of the products under the Product Sales Transaction change from time to time as they need to be tailored for the specific product being manufactured and having regard to the changing market conditions (which may affect the prices of the products), the Group is not able to fix the prices of the products under the Product Sales Transaction but has instead agreed to the pricing terms set out above.

Payment for the Product Sales Transaction is usually received by the Group within 90 days after the date of the relevant invoice. These payment terms were usually adopted by the Group in its transactions with independent third parties or the Hon Hai Technology Group. Such terms are on normal commercial terms and not more favourable than those offered by the Group to independent third parties.

Pricing details

Below are details regarding the application of the pricing terms of the Product Sales Transaction. Such pricing details are equally applicable to transactions with independent third parties.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pricing terms

Pricing details

  1. where the Group has been approved or otherwise designated by the relevant customers of the Hon Hai Technology Group, at the price agreed between the Group and such customers; if not, at a price to be determined by reference to the average market price; or

Where the Group is approved or otherwise designated by the customers of the Hon Hai Technology Group to supply products to the Hon Hai Technology Group, the products are sold at prices agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group's customers (without the Hon Hai Technology Group's direct involvement).

Where the Group is not approved or otherwise designated by the customers of the Hon Hai Technology Group, the price will be determined by reference to the average market price or the market price (if there is only one independent transaction available). These products include handset products and parts and other products sourced from independent vendors in the market as well as other products whose market prices are available.

For the purpose of obtaining market prices, the Group refers to recent sales/purchases transaction(s) of the Group of same products to/from independent customers/suppliers, if available. In general, the Group will select at least one independent transaction (which is concluded after considering at least two quotations from independent customers/suppliers) or (if independent transactions are not available) two quotations from independent customers/suppliers within six months of the proposed transaction with the Hon Hai Technology Group in order to determine the average market price or the market price (if there is only one independent transaction available). For obtaining market prices, the Group may also refer to at least one transaction of the sale of the same products by the Hon Hai Technology Group to independent customers within six months of the proposed transaction under the Product Sales Transaction. The Group will review and check to ensure that the transaction price as agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group is not less favourable than the average market price or the market price (if there is only one independent transaction available).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pricing terms

Pricing details

  1. where (1) above is not appropriate or applicable, at a price to be agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group upon the basis of the principle of ''cost plus''; or
  1. where none of the above pricing bases is appropriate or applicable, at a price to be agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group based on reasonable commercial principles.

Cost plus is determined based on the Group's cost of the products sold to the Hon Hai Technology Group plus a margin as agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group. These products comprise handset products and parts, moulds used in handset manufacturing and other products which are all tailor- made by the Group according to the Hon Hai Technology Group's unique specifications. In determining the margin, the Group takes into account the margin for products of similar nature in the market by way of referring to margins for the Group's sales of products of similar nature to independent customers. In general, the Group will select one independent transaction (most related to the subject product in nature) within six months of the proposed transaction with the Hon Hai Technology Group to determine the margin. In case there is no recent sale of products of similar nature to independent customers by the Group, the Group will make reference to the margins of the historical transactions involving the sales of products of similar nature to independent customers by the Group. The Group will review and check to ensure that the margin as agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group is fair and reasonable adhering to the pricing terms and details and not less favourable than the margin for the Group's sales of products of similar nature to independent customers.

In consideration of its inventory optimisation management, the Group may agree to prices lower than costs or prices/margins under the Group's recent independent transactions. In such cases, the Group would only accept such lower prices if the products could not be sold at higher prices to other independent customers and the Group does not consider it to be in its interests to keep such inventory having regard to factors such as inventory obsolescence. The Group will attempt to solicit purchases from independent parties and will ensure that the prices of the products sold to the Hon Hai Technology Group will not be lower than any prices offered by interested independent buyers. The operation departments of the Group carry out the inventory optimisation management and solicit purchases from buyers including the Hon Hai Technology Group. The accounting departments of the Group will review any proposed sales of products by the operation departments under this pricing term.

This pricing term has not been applied since 2015 but remains to be relevant to cater to such circumstances in the future.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE PRODUCT SALES TRANSACTION

The Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group have been carrying out continuing connected transactions, as set out in the announcement of the Company dated 9 October 2019, to facilitate their respective businesses and operations from time to time.

The long-established relationship and connections between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group and the global geographical convenience and proximity between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group offer (among other things) efficient, convenient and timely communication and coordination between the parties to the transactions contemplated under the continuing connected transactions. The relevant continuing connected transactions, on one hand, provide a reliable, timely and efficient supply of materials, components and other products and provision of services in support of the Group's daily business operations, which are favourable to the Group's effective control and management over the product procurement, performance and quality, timeliness, production, facilities, capacities, expenditures, supply chain and after-sales services, whereas the relevant continuing connected transactions, on the other hand, generate more income for the Group and enhance the utilisation and management of the Group's assets and services. In addition, the continuous entering into of the continuing connected transactions between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group from time to time can effectively lower the operation risks of both the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group mutually, and is favourable to the Group's daily business operations on an on-going basis.

As to the Product Sales Transaction, in particular, the Company considers it in its best interests to generate more income as well as enhance utilisation of its assets by carrying out the Product Sales Transaction in response to the Hon Hai Technology Group's needs from time to time, provided that the Hon Hai Technology Group purchases from the Group at prices comparable to market prices and/or which are considered to be fair and reasonable to the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASON FOR, AND BASIS OF, THE PROPOSED REVISED ANNUAL CAPS

An existing customer of the Group (the ''Customer'') was acquired by Hon Hai in the beginning of 2020 and became a connected person of the Company. The Group's sales of products to the Customer have become part of the Company's continuing connected transactions falling under the Product Sales Transaction since then. Taking into account the Group's sales of products to the Customer, together with the other sales of products under the Product Sales Transaction, the Company anticipates that the Existing Annual Caps may not be sufficient and proposes to revise them.

The Proposed Revised Annual Caps are mainly based on:

  1. the actual transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction for the six months ended 30 June 2020;
  2. the transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction for the second half of 2020 as estimated based on the following:
    . the actual transaction amounts of the Group's sales of products to the Customer in the second half of 2019 and the annual growth rate of the Group's sales of products to the Customer of 2019 of 47.3%; and
    . the actual average monthly transaction amounts of the Group's sales of products to the other customers (other than the Customer) under the Product Sales Transaction for the period from March to June 2020;
  3. the transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction for 2021 and 2022 as estimated based on an annual growth rate of 23.4%, representing the annual growth rate of the estimated transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction of 2020; and
  4. a buffer of approximately 10% to cater for any unforeseen changes in market conditions (including but not limited to an unexpected increase in consumer demand and/or unexpected increase in the cost of supply, where applicable).

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors whose opinion has been set out in the letter from the Independent Board Committee of this circular) consider that the Proposed Revised Annual Caps are fair and reasonable, the entering into of the Product Sales Transaction is in the Group's ordinary and usual course of business and the terms of the Product Sales Transaction are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Mr. CHIH Yu Yang, an executive Director, is a director of a subsidiary and an associate of Hon Hai and Mr. WANG Chien Ho, an executive Director, is an employee of the Hon Hai Technology Group. In view of their relationship with the Hon Hai Technology Group, they abstained from voting on the Board's resolutions in relation to the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps. Save as disclosed, no other Directors had to abstain from voting on the Board's resolutions in relation to the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INTERNAL CONTROL MEASURES

The Group has adopted the following internal control procedures over the continuing connected transactions of the Company including the Product Sales Transaction:

. Before entering into a transaction under the continuing connected transactions of the Company, the purchase departments and/or the operation departments (as the case may be) of the Group will review and check whether the pricing is fair and reasonable adhering to the pricing terms and details. In addition to reviewing the pricing before entering into a transaction under the continuing connected transactions of the Company where the pricing terms under the relevant agreements are applied for the first time or the pricing terms are different from those used previously, the accounting departments of the relevant member companies of the Group will review the aforesaid works carried out by the purchase departments and/or the operation departments (as the case may be) on a quarterly basis.

. The Company has formulated and maintained a list of connected persons of the Company for the purpose of monitoring the connected transactions (including the Product Sales Transaction) and a copy of such list, together with a copy of each of the framework agreements and subsequent supplemental agreements for the continuing connected transactions (including the Framework Product Sales Agreement), have been kept at the Group's headquarters accounting department, which is the department primarily responsible to review and monitor the continuing connected transactions ensuring that the annual caps of the relevant continuing connected transactions are not exceeded and the continuing connected transactions have been conducted in accordance with the pricing policies or mechanisms under the framework agreements relating to such continuing connected transactions. The headquarters accounting department of the Group collects the updated annual rolling forecast for each category of the continuing connected transactions (the ''CCT Rolling Forecast'') from the relevant operation departments of the Group every month and uses the CCT Rolling Forecast to calculate and monitor the estimated full-year transaction amount of each category of the continuing connected transactions at the Group's level. In relation to each category of the continuing connected transactions, the headquarters accounting department of the Group also compares the CCT Rolling Forecast with the pre-approved annual cap amounts or de minimis thresholds to check and see if there is any potential risk of the then estimated full-year transaction amount exceeding the corresponding annual cap amounts or de minimis thresholds. When there is potentially a new transaction under the relevant category of the continuing connected transactions to be transacted between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group, the chief financial officer of the Group (the ''Group CFO'') will inform the headquarters accounting department of the Group to ensure that such potential new transaction has been included in the relevant CCT Rolling Forecast and, if necessary, update such CCT Rolling Forecast based on the information regarding such potential new transaction then available for review by the Group CFO. When the relevant CCT Rolling Forecast indicates that the pre-approved annual cap amounts or de minimis thresholds relating to the relevant category of the continuing connected transactions may be exceeded, the

- 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

headquarters accounting department of the Group will check the reasons and/or assumptions underlying the relevant CCT Rolling Forecast again, in consultation with the operation departments of the Group, and then report the same to the Group CFO. The Group CFO will then internally review and assess if the then existing pre- approved annual cap amounts or de minimis thresholds will likely be exceeded, and if so, will initiate re-compliance or compliance with all the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules in respect of any revision of the then existing pre-approved annual cap amounts or setting of annual cap amounts for the de minimis continuing connected transaction that may potentially exceed the de minimis thresholds.

. The headquarters accounting department of the Group will consult with the Group's internal audit function in respect of continuing connected transaction compliance issues and report semi-annually to the Group CFO, normally before the Company's publication of the interim results and final results of the Group respectively in every financial year, and the Group CFO (in his own capacity and on behalf of the Group's management designated for the purposes of assisting the Board with the Group's enterprise risk management and internal controls) will semi-annually report to the audit committee of the Company (currently comprising all the independent non- executive Directors) and simultaneously, provide a confirmation to the audit committee that the continuing connected transactions of the Company which are subject to the annual review and disclosure requirements under the Listing Rules have been entered into (a) in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group;

  1. on normal commercial terms or better; and (c) in accordance with the relevant agreements governing them on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole; and that the Group's internal control procedures applicable to continuing connected transactions are properly implemented and operated and are adequate and effective to ensure that such transactions were so conducted.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As mentioned above, Hon Hai is the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company and therefore is a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Product Sales Transaction entered into between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group from time to time constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As at least one of the applicable percentage ratios (other than the profits ratio and the equity ratio which are not applicable in the present context) in respect of the maximum amount of the Proposed Revised Annual Caps is more than 5% and each of the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, on an annual basis, is more than HK$10 million, the Product Sales Transaction constitutes a non-exempt continuing connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps are subject to the reporting, announcement, annual review and the approval of the Independent Shareholders requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

EGM

The Company will convene the EGM to seek the Independent Shareholders' approval for the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps. As Hon Hai is a party to the Framework Product Sales Agreement, Hon Hai and its associates are required to and will abstain from voting on the resolution to be proposed at the EGM for approving the above matters. At the EGM, votes will be taken by way of poll. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Hon Hai and its associates in aggregate were interested in 5,081,034,525 Shares, representing approximately 61.94% of the total number of issued shares of the Company.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The Independent Board Committee, having taken into account the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser, is of the view that (a) the Proposed Revised Annual Caps are fair and reasonable; (b) the entering into of the Product Sales Transaction is in the Group's ordinary and usual course of business and, together with the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (c) the terms of the Product Sales Transaction are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and, together with the bases of determining the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, are fair and reasonable. Accordingly, the Independent Board Committee recommends the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to approve the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps at the EGM.

GENERAL

Your attention is drawn to the letter from the Independent Board Committee, the letter from the Independent Financial Adviser, the additional information set out in the appendix to this circular and the notice of the EGM.

Yours faithfully,

By Order of the Board

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The following is the full text of the letter from the Independent Financial Adviser which sets out its advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps for inclusion in this circular.

28 August 2020

To: The Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of FIH Mobile Limited

Dear Sirs,

CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION

REVISION OF ANNUAL CAPS

  1. INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ''Letter from the Board'') contained in the circular of the Company (the ''Circular'') to the Shareholders dated 28 August 2020, of which this letter forms part. Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

Pursuant to the Framework Product Sales Agreement, for a term up to 31 December 2022, the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group have been carrying out the Product Sales Transaction from time to time. With reference to the continuing connected transactions announcement of the Company dated 9 October 2019, the circular of the Company dated 14 November 2019 and the poll results announcement of the Company dated 6 December 2019, among other things, the Company set the Existing Annual Caps. The Company anticipates that the Existing Annual Caps may not be sufficient and proposes to revise them.

Hon Hai is the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Company and therefore is a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Product Sales Transaction constitutes a continuing connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As at least one of the applicable percentage ratios (other than the profits ratio and the equity capital ratio which are not applicable in the present context) in respect of the maximum amount of the Proposed Revised Annual Caps is more than 5% and each of the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, on an annual basis, is more than HK$10 million, the Product Sales Transaction constitutes a non-exempt continuing connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps are subject to the reporting, announcement, annual review and the approval of the Independent Shareholders requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

  1. THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Board currently comprises Mr. CHIH Yu Yang, Mr. WANG Chien Ho and Dr. KUO Wen-Yi as executive Directors, and Mr. LAU Siu Ki, Dr. Daniel Joseph MEHAN and Mr. TAO Yun Chih as independent non-executive Directors.

The Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps are on normal commercial terms or better, fair and reasonable, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

We, Red Sun, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in these respects and to give our opinion and recommendation in relation to the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, for the Independent Board Committee's consideration when making its recommendation to the Independent Shareholders and also for the Independent Shareholders' consideration.

III. OUR INDEPENDENCE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we did not have any relationship with or interest in the Company or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. In the last two years, we have acted as the independent financial adviser to the then independent board committee and the then independent shareholders of the Company, details of which are set out in the circular of the Company dated 14 November 2019 in relation to the relevant continuing connected transactions.

Apart from the normal professional fees payable to us in connection with this appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangements exist whereby we have received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Company or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant in assessing our independence, in each case in connection with the matters contemplated by this letter. Accordingly, we consider that we are independent pursuant to Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules.

IV. BASIS OF OUR ADVICE

In formulating our opinion and recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have relied on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained in the Circular and the information and representations provided to us by the Company, the Directors and the management of the Company (the ''Management'').

We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information in order to form a reasonable basis for our opinion and recommendation. We have no reason to suspect that any relevant information has been withheld, nor are we aware of any facts or circumstances which would render the information provided and representations made to us untrue, inaccurate or misleading in any material respect.

Comparison of financial performance between the six months ended 30 June 2019 and 2020

The Group recorded a revenue of approximately US$6.4 billion and US$3.7 billion for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and 2020, respectively, representing a period-on-period decrease of approximately US$2.7 billion or 42.2%. Such decrease was mainly attributable to various factors highlighted in the 2020 Interim Results Announcement, including the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic which in turn adversely affected (among others) the Group's customers to a certain extent.

The Group recorded a net loss of approximately US$83.8 million and US$101.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and 2020, respectively, representing a period-on-period increase in loss of approximately US$17.5 million. According to the 2020 Interim Results Announcement and as discussed with the Management, the Group's net loss was primarily attributable to various factors, including the outbreak of COVID-19 since the beginning of 2020 whereas the Group temporarily closed its factories in the PRC and India in February and March 2020, respectively. Given that the COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted on not only global supply chains but also consumer demand and has contributed to a slowdown in the global economy generally, in part as a result of various lockdowns, shutdowns and restrictions, the Group's financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2020 were also adversely affected.

Comparison of financial performance between the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019

The Group recorded a revenue of approximately US$14.9 billion and US$14.4 billion for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019, respectively, representing a year-on-year decrease of approximately US$0.5 billion or 3.4%. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the discontinuation of the Group's logistics and distribution business.

- 19 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Group recorded a net loss of approximately US$679.1 million and US$32.5 million for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019, respectively, representing a year-on-year reduction in loss of approximately US$646.6 million. According to the 2019 Annual Report and as discussed with the Management, the Group's net loss was primarily attributable to various factors, including the following: (i) the challenging conditions that the Group has faced since late 2017 (like unfavourable product mix, increasing pricing pressure and price hikes in components) having continued through 2018 into 2019; (ii) continued pressure on the Group's gross margins generally; and

  1. the Group's continued foreign exchange-related net loss in 2019 (the Group's foreign exchange-related net loss was approximately US$57 million for 2019 and was materially smaller than the Group's foreign exchange-related net loss of approximately US$102 million for 2018).

Comparison of financial performance between the years ended 31 December 2017 and 2018

The Group recorded a revenue of approximately US$12.1 billion and US$14.9 billion for the years ended 31 December 2017 and 2018, respectively, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately US$2.8 billion or 23.1%. According to the 2018 Annual Report and as discussed with the Management, the growth was mainly attributable to the Group's continuous development and penetration of the PRC and international brand customers and efforts to expand production capacity in India and the entering into collaboration with a U.S. based internet customer.

The Group recorded a net loss of approximately US$525.4 million and US$679.1 million for the years ended 31 December 2017 and 2018, respectively, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately US$153.7 million or 29.3%. According to the 2018 Annual Report and as discussed with the Management, the Group's net loss was primarily attributable to various factors, including the following: (i) the challenging conditions faced by the Group in the second half of 2017 persisted in 2018; (ii) pressure on the Group's gross margins continued;

  1. increase in the expenses relating to the continuous growth of the Group's IIDM (Integration, Innovation, Design, Manufacture) business (including ancillary logistics

and distribution services); (iv) increase in the Group's foreign exchange loss;

  1. substantial impairment losses relating to the Group's goodwill and interests in associates; (vi) fair value loss on convertible notes; and (vii) a substantial loss arising from the change in fair value of the Group's investments in certain listed companies.

Principal business activities of the Hon Hai Technology Group

The Hon Hai Technology Group is the leading global manufacturing service provider in the 3C industries.

As set out in the annual report of Hon Hai for the year ended 31 December 2019, its total revenue of approximately New Taiwan Dollars (''NTD'') 5,293.8 billion and NTD5,342.8 billion for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019, respectively, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.9%. Also, the Hon Hai Technology Group recorded profit of approximately NTD129.8 billion and NTD132.2 billion for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019, respectively, representing a year- on-year increase of approximately 1.8%.

- 20 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As set out in the annual report of Hon Hai for the year ended 31 December 2018, its total revenue of approximately NTD4,706.7 billion and NTD5,293.8 billion for the years ended 31 December 2017 and 2018, respectively, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 12.5%. Also, the Hon Hai Technology Group recorded profit of approximately NTD135.4 billion and NTD129.8 billion for the years ended 31 December 2017 and 2018, respectively, representing a year-on-year decrease of approximately NTD5.6 billion or 4.1%.

VI. PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

Reasons and benefits for the Product Sales Transaction

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group have been carrying out continuing connected transactions, as set out in the announcement of the Company dated 9 October 2019, to facilitate their respective businesses and operations from time to time.

The long-established relationship and connections between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group and the global geographical convenience and proximity between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group offer (among other things) efficient, convenient and timely communication and coordination between the parties to the transactions contemplated under the continuing connected transactions. The relevant continuing connected transactions, on one hand, provide a reliable, timely and efficient supply of materials, components and other products and provision of services in support of the Group's daily business operations, which are favourable to the Group's effective control and management over the product procurement, performance and quality, timeliness, production, facilities, capacities, expenditures, supply chain and after-sales services, whereas the relevant continuing connected transactions, on the other hand, generate more income for the Group and enhance the utilisation and management of the Group's assets and services. In addition, the continuous entering into of the continuing connected transactions between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group from time to time can effectively lower the operation risks of both the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group mutually, and is favourable to the Group's daily business operations on an on-going basis.

As to the Product Sales Transaction, in particular, the Company considers it in its best interests to generate more income as well as enhance utilisation of its assets by carrying out the Product Sales Transaction in response to the Hon Hai Technology Group's needs from time to time, provided that the Hon Hai Technology Group purchases from the Group at prices comparable to market prices and/or which are considered to be fair and reasonable to the Company.

Having considered that (i) the Product Sales Transaction would generate more income for the Group; (ii) the utilisation and management of the Group's assets and services would be enhanced by the Product Sales Transaction; and (iii) the prices of the individual transactions contemplated under the Product Sales Transaction would be comparable to market prices of similar transactions entered into with independent third parties, we concur with the Management's view that the Product Sales Transaction is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

- 21 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Product Sales Transaction

Pursuant to the Framework Product Sales Agreement, for a term up to 31 December 2022, the Group has agreed to sell or procure its subsidiaries to sell to the Hon Hai Technology Group products (including but not limited to materials and components, tooling, light-guides and finished goods generally) manufactured, owned or held (coupled with interest) by the Group that may be used in connection with or for the purposes of the businesses of the Hon Hai Technology Group from time to time as well as such other products (including but not limited to any materials and components) as may be agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group from time to time, upon and subject to the terms and conditions set out therein. In this respect, the scope of the aforesaid materials and components covers die-casting parts, flexible PCBs (printed circuit boards), PCBs, display/touch modules, heat sinks, work-in-progress generally and other materials and components that may be used in connection with or for the purposes of the businesses of the Hon Hai Technology Group from time to time as well as such other materials and/or components as may be agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group from time to time.

Pricing terms

Under the Product Sales Transaction, the applicable price of the products to be sold to the Hon Hai Technology Group will be determined based on the following:

  1. where the Group has been approved or otherwise designated by the relevant
    customers of the Hon Hai Technology Group, at the price agreed between the Group and such customers1; if not, at a price to be determined by reference to the average market price (the ''Market Price Principle''); or
  2. where (1) above is not appropriate or applicable, at a price to be agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group upon the basis of the principle of ''cost plus'' (the ''Cost Plus Principle''); or
  3. where none of the above pricing bases is appropriate or applicable, at a price to
    be agreed between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group based on reasonable commercial principles (the ''Reasonable Commercial Principle'')2.

Note 1: In this respect, the Group shall directly negotiate and agree the pricing terms with such customer, without the direct involvement of the Hon Hai Technology Group.

Note 2: This pricing term has not been applied since 2015 but remains to be relevant to cater to such circumstances in the future.

Under the Product Sales Transaction, the Group sells to the Hon Hai Technology Group products including, but not limited to, handset products, handset parts and moulds used in handset manufacturing and other consumer electronic products. Due to changes in the specifications of the handset products and technological changes, the specifications of the products under the Product Sales Transaction change from time to time as they need to be tailored for the specific product being manufactured and having regard to the changing market conditions (which may affect the prices of the products), the Group is not able to fix the prices of the products under the Product Sales Transaction but has instead agreed to the pricing terms set out above.

- 22 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Payment for the Product Sales Transaction is usually received by the Group within 90 days after the date of the relevant invoice. These payment terms were usually adopted by the Group in its transactions with independent third parties or the Hon Hai Technology Group. Such terms are on normal commercial terms and not more favourable than those offered by the Group to independent third parties.

For details of the pricing terms for the Product Sales Transaction, please refer to the sub-heading''Pricing Details'' in the Letter from the Board.

For our assessment, we have randomly sampled and reviewed six sets of transaction documents (the ''Product Sales Samples'') between a member of the Group and member(s) of the Hon Hai Technology Group in respect of the Product Sales Transaction carried out during the period from 1 July 2019 up to 30 June 2020 (the ''Review Period''). In addition to the Product Sales Samples, we randomly selected and reviewed six sets of transaction documents between a member of the Group and independent third party(ies) (the ''I3P Samples'', together with the Product Sales Samples, the ''Samples'') in respect of transactions having the same nature as the Product Sales Transaction, which were applied to the same pricing terms as the Product Sales Samples. The Samples comprise of invoices, purchase orders, transaction documents relating to products sold by the Hon Hai Technology Group to independent third parties, cost/price calculation sheets and relevant supporting documents under the Product Sales Transaction (to sell products to the Hon Hai Technology Group/independent third parties).

We consider the Review Period to be a suitable timeframe to enable us to assess the relatively current application of pricing policies and the relatively current internal control measures of the Group in practice. We summarised our work done as follows:

To start with, we understand from the Management that under the Product Sales Transaction, as from 2015, the Group has not been approved nor otherwise designated by the relevant customers of the Hon Hai Technology Group, and accordingly, the products have not been sold to the Hon Hai Technology Group at the price agreed between the Group and such customers for the Product Sales Transaction since 2015 but this pricing term remains to be relevant to cater to such circumstances in the future.

(a) The Market Price Principle

Based on our review of two Product Sales Samples which adopted the Market Price Principle and also based on our review and discussions with the Management, we understand that the Group obtained at least one historical transaction to the then independent third party or one transaction of the sale of the same products by the Hon Hai Technology Group to independent customers within six months of the proposed transaction under the Product Sales Transaction to provide reference on the market price. Based on our review of the Product Sales Samples, we note that the prices indicated on the invoices of the Product Sales Samples made reference to the prices indicated on the comparable invoice(s) of at least one historical transaction to the then independent third party or one comparable invoice of the sale of the same products by the Hon Hai Technology Group to independent customers within six months of the proposed transaction under the Product Sales Transaction. We also note from the invoices of the Product Sales Samples that the prices were consistent with the prices for the comparable historical independent transactions as demonstrated in the comparable invoices. We further note from the transaction documents that the product unit prices of such Product Sales Samples were identical to the ultimate unit prices of such products sold by the Hon Hai Technology Group to independent third parties. We consider it reasonable for the Group to make reference to historical independent transactions to the extent they are available within a reasonable timeframe.

- 23 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We also note that the prices received (together with the payment terms) from the Hon Hai Technology Group under the Product Sales Transaction were no less favourable as compared with the prices (together with the payment terms) set out in the historical transactions with independent third parties in the Samples.

Accordingly, we consider that the Company has followed the Market Price Principle.

(b) The Cost Plus Principle

We have reviewed four Product Sales Samples and six I3P Samples in respect of the Cost Plus Principle. Based on our review and our discussions with the Management, we note that the pricing base is determined with reference to the percentage margin of comparable historical transactions with independent third parties.

We understand from the Management that the Group normally selects one independent comparable transaction within six months of the proposed transaction with the Hon Hai Technology Group/another independent third party to determine the current reasonable market margin. The Group would ensure that the margins earned by the Group for the proposed transaction with the Hon Hai Technology Group are no less favourable than the margin evidenced by the independent comparable transaction. Based on our review of the four Product Sales Samples and the six I3P Samples, we note that the prices indicated on the invoices of the Product Sales Samples or the I3P Samples made reference to the prices indicated on the invoices of independent comparable transactions. We have reviewed the invoices and the cost/price calculation sheets indicating the selling price, cost and margin of both the four Product Sales Samples and the six I3P Samples and noted that the margin agreed with the Hon Hai Technology Group was no less favourable than the margin for the independent comparable transactions. The Group will select one independent transaction (as closely related to the subject component/other product in nature as possible) within six months of the proposed transaction with the Hon Hai Technology Group to determine the margin pursuant to the pricing terms of the Product Sales Transaction. Given the specific nature of the subject product underlying the Product Sales Transaction, we consider the selection of one independent comparable transaction from an independent third party from a recent period to be fair and reasonable.

We understand from the Management that in the event no independent comparable transaction is available, the Group's accounting department would review the proposed transaction based on its past experience and public information on the market, if available. The Company would conduct a comparison between (i) the quotations obtained from the independent third parties; and (ii) the offers to the Hon Hai Technology Group. In some cases, depending on the nature of the subject transaction, the margins under the Cost Plus Principle will be determined after arm's length negotiations with the Hon Hai Technology Group, which take into account, among other factors, the prevailing market price, production capabilities and optimal utilisation of resources of the Group.

We note from the relevant I3P Samples which adopted the Cost Plus Principle that this pricing term is equally applicable to transactions with independent third parties.

Based on our review of the relevant Product Sales Samples, we note that the cost margin of sales to the Hon Hai Technology Group is substantiated to be no less favourable than that available from the independent comparable transaction. Given that the margins with the Hon Hai Technology Group are determined with reference to and are no less favourable than the margins available from independent third parties, we consider the Cost Plus Principle to be fair and reasonable.

- 24 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. The Reasonable Commercial Principle

We understand from the Management that it will be in the Group's best interests to generate more income as well as enhance utilisation of its assets by carrying out the Product Sales Transaction in response to the Hon Hai Technology Group's needs from time to time. Moreover, in consideration of its inventory optimisation management, the Group may agree to prices lower than costs or prices/margins under the Group's recent independent transactions. In such cases, the Group would only accept such lower prices if the products could not be sold at higher prices to other independent customers and the Group does not consider it to be in its interests to keep such inventory having regard to factors such as inventory obsolescence. The Group will attempt to solicit purchases from independent parties and will ensure that the prices of the products sold to the Hon Hai Technology Group will not be lower than any prices offered by interested independent buyers. The operation departments of the Group carry out the inventory optimisation management and solicit purchases from buyers including the Hon Hai Technology Group. The accounting departments of the Group will review any proposed sales of products by the operation departments under this pricing term. As stated in the Letter from the Board, this pricing term has not been applied since 2015 but remains to be relevant to cater to such circumstances in the future.

Notwithstanding that the Reasonable Commercial Principle has not been applied since 2015, based on our understanding with the Management, in the event that both the Market Price Principle and the Cost Plus Principle are not appropriate or applicable, the application of the Reasonable Commercial Principle for the Product Sales Transaction as mentioned above provides an alternative pricing term that would enable the Group to continuously utilise its assets by optimising its inventory, which in turn is beneficial to the Group as a whole. Accordingly, we consider the Reasonable Commercial Principle to be fair and reasonable.

Our analysis

Having considered that (i) the Group's intention to cooperate with the Hon Hai Technology Group; (ii) the Product Sales Transaction will be beneficial to both the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group in order to facilitate their respective businesses and operations from time to time; and (iii) the pricing basis, in particular, the pricing terms shall follow the pricing procedure, which also applies to the transactions with independent third parties, we concur with the Management's view that the Product Sales Transaction is entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and the terms thereof are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Internal control measures

Set out below is an extract of the internal control procedures adopted by the Company over the continuing connected transactions of the Company, including the Product Sales Transaction, and details of the internal control procedures are set out in the Letter from the Board:

  1. Before entering into a transaction under the continuing connected transactions of the Company, the purchase departments and/or the operation departments (as the case may be) of the Group will review and check whether the pricing is fair and reasonable adhering to the pricing terms and details. In addition to reviewing the pricing before entering into a transaction under the continuing connected transactions of the Company where the pricing terms under the relevant agreements are applied for the first time or the pricing terms are different from those used previously, the accounting departments of the relevant member companies of the Group will review the aforesaid works carried out by the purchase departments and/or the operation departments (as the case may be) on a quarterly basis.
  2. The Company has formulated and maintained a list of connected persons of the Company for the purpose of monitoring the connected transactions (including the Product Sales Transaction) and a copy of such list, together with a copy of each of the framework agreements and subsequent supplemental agreements for the continuing connected transactions (including the Framework Product Sales Agreement), have been kept at the Group's headquarters accounting department, which is the department primarily responsible to review and monitor the continuing connected transactions ensuring that the annual caps of the relevant continuing connected transactions are not exceeded and the continuing connected transactions have been conducted in accordance with the pricing policies or mechanisms under the framework agreements relating to such continuing connected transactions. The headquarters accounting department of the Group collects the updated annual rolling forecast for each category of the continuing connected transactions (the ''CCT Rolling Forecast'') from the relevant operation departments of the Group every month and uses the CCT Rolling Forecast to calculate and monitor the estimated full-year transaction amount of each category of the continuing connected transactions at the Group's level. In relation to each category of the continuing connected transactions, the headquarters accounting department of the Group also compares the CCT Rolling Forecast with the pre-approved annual cap amounts or de minimis thresholds to check and see if there is any potential risk of the then estimated full-year transaction amount exceeding the corresponding annual cap amounts or de minimis thresholds. When there is potentially a new transaction under the relevant category of the continuing connected transactions to be transacted between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group, the chief financial officer of the Group (the ''Group CFO'') will inform the headquarters accounting department of the Group to ensure that such potential new transaction has been included in the relevant CCT Rolling Forecast and, if

- 26 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

necessary, update such CCT Rolling Forecast based on the information regarding such potential new transaction then available for review by the Group CFO. When the relevant CCT Rolling Forecast indicates that the pre-approved annual cap amounts or de minimis thresholds relating to the relevant category of the continuing connected transactions may be exceeded, the headquarters accounting department of the Group will check the reasons and/or assumptions underlying the relevant CCT Rolling Forecast again, in consultation with the operation departments of the Group, and then report the same to the Group CFO. The Group CFO will then internally review and assess if the then existing pre-approved annual cap amounts or de minimis thresholds will likely be exceeded, and if so, will initiate re-compliance or compliance with all the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules in respect of any revision of the then existing pre-approved annual cap amounts or setting of annual cap amounts for the de minimis continuing connected transaction that may potentially exceed the de minimis thresholds.

  1. The headquarters accounting department of the Group will consult with the Group's internal audit function in respect of continuing connected transaction compliance issues and report semi-annually to the Group CFO, normally before the Company's publication of the interim results and final results of the Group respectively in every financial year, and the Group CFO (in his own capacity and on behalf of the Group's management designated for the purposes of assisting the Board with the Group's enterprise risk management and internal controls) will semi-annually report to the audit committee of the Company (currently comprising all the independent non-executive Directors) and simultaneously, provide a confirmation to the audit committee that the continuing connected transactions of the Company which are subject to the annual review and disclosure requirements under the Listing Rules have been entered into (a) in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group; (b) on normal commercial terms or better; and (c) in accordance with the relevant agreements governing them on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole; and that the Group's internal control procedures applicable to continuing connected transactions are properly implemented and operated and are adequate and effective to ensure that such transactions were so conducted. The audit committee will consider this accordingly.
  2. The Company's external auditor will review the continuing connected transactions (which are subject to the annual review and disclosure requirements under the Listing Rules) annually to check and confirm (among others) whether the pricing terms have been adhered to and whether the relevant caps have been exceeded. According to Rule 14A.56 of the Listing Rules, the Company's external auditor will report its findings and conclusions (in the form of an independent assurance report) to the Board, whereas a copy thereof will be provided by the Company to the Stock Exchange.

- 27 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. The independent non-executive Directors will review the continuing connected transactions of the Company (which are subject to the annual review and disclosure requirements under the Listing Rules) semi-annually to check and confirm whether such continuing connected transactions are conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms or better, in accordance with the relevant agreements governing them on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole, and whether the internal control procedures put in place by the Company are properly implemented and operated and are adequate and effective to ensure that such continuing connected transactions were so conducted and also conducted in accordance with the pricing policies set out in such relevant agreements.

We have reviewed the 2019 Annual Report and an internal report of the Company in relation to its continuing connected transactions issued in July 2020 which sets out, amongst others, the internal control policies and measures implemented by the Company to provide an effective framework for better corporate governance and enterprise risk management and monitor the continuing connected transactions between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group. We note that the Group has implemented its internal control procedures to ensure that the terms offered by connected persons of the Company are no less favourable than those available to or from independent third parties (as the case may be) and any continuing connected transactions of the Company should be conducted in accordance with the pricing policies under the respective continuing connected transaction framework agreements. Pursuant to the internal control measures and policies of the Company, the Group's internal audit department is responsible to review the internal control functions of the Group relating to its continuing connected transactions from time to time. The Group's accounting department is primarily responsible to review and monitor transactions between the Group and the Hon Hai Technology Group as to whether such transactions fall within the scope of the relevant agreements and that the annual caps are not exceeded.

Based on the above and having considered the internal control procedures adopted by the Company, we concur with the view of the Management that the procedures the Company adopted are considered to be efficient and adequate to govern the future execution of the Product Sales Transaction, which will continue to be conducted on terms that are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, an existing customer of the Group (the ''Customer'') was acquired by Hon Hai in the beginning of 2020 and became a connected person of the Company. The Group's sales of products to the Customer have become part of the Company's continuing connected transactions falling under the Product Sales Transaction since then. Taking into account the Group's sales of products to the Customer, together with the other sales of products under the Product Sales Transaction, the Company anticipates that the Existing Annual Caps may not be sufficient and proposes to revise them.

The Proposed Revised Annual Caps are mainly based on:

  1. the actual transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction for the six months ended 30 June 2020;
  2. the transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction for the second half of
    2020 as estimated based on the following:
    • the actual transaction amounts of the Group's sales of products to the Customer in the second half of 2019 and the annual growth rate of the Group's sales of products to the Customer of 2019 of 47.3%; and
    • the actual average monthly transaction amounts of the Group's sales of products to the other customers (other than the Customer) under the Product Sales Transaction for the period from March to June 2020;
  3. the transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction for 2021 and 2022 as estimated based on an annual growth rate of 23.4%, representing the annual growth rate of the estimated transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction of 2020; and
  4. a buffer of approximately 10% to cater for any unforeseen changes in market conditions (including but not limited to an unexpected increase in consumer demand and/or unexpected increase in the cost of supply, where applicable).

- 29 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Analysis on the Proposed Revised Annual Caps

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, we have considered the basis for determining the Proposed Revised Annual Caps and reviewed the calculation of the Proposed Revised Annual Caps.

Based on our review and discussions with the Management, the annual transaction amount of the Product Sales Transaction for 2020 represents the sum of the actual historical amounts for the six months ended 30 June 2020 and a projected sum for the remaining six months from 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2020. The projected sum was estimated based on (i) the projected figures relating to sales to the Customer under the Product Sales Transaction; and (ii) the projected figures relating to sales to all other connected persons of the Company (''Other Connected Customers'') under the Product Sales Transaction.

The historical transaction amounts arising from sales to the Customer under the Product Sales Transaction during the six months from 1 July 2019 to 31 December 2019 and the associated historical growth rate of approximately 47.3% are used to project the Group's monthly revenue in respect of sales to the Customer under the Product Sales Transaction for the remaining six months ending 31 December 2020. We obtained from the Management and reviewed a schedule of transaction amounts between the Group and the Customer during the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019 and noted that the historical growth rate of approximately 47.3% was calculated based on such transaction amounts during the two years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019. We also noted that the transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction with the Customer was higher in the second half of 2019 than the first half of 2019. Therefore, we concur with the Management that it is reasonable to use the historical transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction with the Customer in the second half of 2019 to project for the period from 1 July 2020 to 31 December 2020. In assessing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to the actual and estimated sales from the Group to the Customer under the Product Sales Transaction, we obtained from the Management and reviewed a schedule of transaction amounts under the Product Sales Transaction between the Group and the Customer during the six months ended 30 June 2019 and 2020, respectively, and noted that the transaction amounts for the first half of 2020 had been held up to a level similar to that for the first half of 2019. In addition, as discussed with the Management, the transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction with the Customer was under substantial growth during the year ended 31 December 2019 and the momentum of growth could be expected to continue for the three years ending 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022.

Given that (i) the growth rate represents the latest actual year-on-year comparison in growth of the transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction with the Customer;

  1. the transaction amounts under the Product Sales Transaction between the Group and the Customer for the first half of 2020 had been held up to a level similar to that for the first half of 2019, despite the COVID-19 pandemic; (iii) the relatively higher growth in sales during the second half of 2019 as compared with the first half of 2019 to the Customer under the Product Sales Transaction; and (iv) the potential continuation of growth in the transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction for the three years ending 31 December 2020, 2021 and 2022 with the Customer, we consider that it is reasonable for the Company to apply the historical growth rate of approximately 47.3% and the historical transaction amounts with the Customer as the basis to project for the remaining six months for the year ending 31 December 2020.

- 30 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The projected figures relating to sales to the Other Connected Customers under the Product Sales Transaction for the six months ending 31 December 2020 was based on the average of the actual transaction amounts between the Group and the Other Connected Customers during the four months from 1 March 2020 to 30 June 2020 and such projection has taken into account the actual and potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic by utilising the actual transaction amounts between the Group and the Other Connected Customers under the Product Sales Transaction during the four months from 1 March 2020 to 30 June 2020. We understand that by the time the Company starts calculating the projected sales figures, the latest available historical transaction information of the Product Sales Transaction is from 1 March 2020 up to 30 June 2020. Moreover, for estimating the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, it is expected that the Other Connected Customers would contribute similar transaction amounts for the second half of 2020 as compared to the period from March 2020 to June 2020 under the Product Sales Transaction. The Company considers, and we concur, it appropriate to use the most recent monthly revenue as the basis to project the monthly revenue for the remaining six months for the year ending 31 December 2020 in respect of sales to the Other Connected Customers.

The proposed revised annual caps for the year ending 31 December 2020 are calculated taking into account (i) the actual transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction during the six months ended 30 June 2020; (ii) the projected transactions with the Customer under the Product Sales Transaction during the six months ending 31 December 2020 based on the historical growth rate of approximately 47.3% and historical transaction amounts during the six months ended 31 December 2019; and (iii) the projected transactions with the Other Connected Customers under the Product Sales Transaction during the six months ending 31 December 2020 based on the latest transaction amounts with the Other Connected Customers during the four months from 1 March 2020 to 30 June 2020. A buffer of 10% is applied to arrive at the proposed revised annual caps for the year ending 31 December 2020. The proposed revised annual caps for the year ending 31 December 2021 are calculated by multiplying the proposed 2020 annual caps with the growth rate of approximately 23.4%. The proposed revised annual caps for the year ending 31 December 2022 are calculated by multiplying the proposed 2021 annual caps with the same growth rate.

We understand from the Management that the growth rate of approximately 23.4% was calculated based on the actual and projected transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction for the year ending 31 December 2020 comparing with the actual transaction amounts of 2019 after taking into account, among other things, the actual and potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. For estimating the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, the Management expected that the growth in the transaction amounts of the Product Sales Transaction with the Customer and the Other Connected Customers would continue for the years ending 31 December 2021 and 2022. As such, the Management considers, and we concur, the growth rate for the year ending 31 December 2020 to be appropriate for calculating the proposed revised annuals caps for the years ending 31 December 2021 and 2022 in order to capture the projected increase in transaction amounts with the Customers and the Other Connected Customers during the year ending 31 December 2020 and such growth is expected to continue for the years ending 31 December 2021 and 2022.

- 31 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The buffer of 10% is to cater for any unforeseen changes in market conditions including an unexpected increase in consumer demand and/or unexpected increase in the cost of supply (where applicable). As discussed with the Management, the buffer of 10% is to cater for unexpected circumstances, such as unexpected increase in consumer demand and/or unexpected increase in the cost of supply, which would provide the Group with the flexibility but not the obligation to sell products under the Product Sales Transaction to the Hon Hai Technology Group, apart from the projected transaction amounts for sales to the Customer and the Other Connected Customers under the Product Sales Transaction. Having taken into account (i) the pricing basis, in particular, the pricing terms shall follow the pricing procedure as discussed under the heading "Pricing terms" above; (ii) the reasons and benefits for the Product Sales Transaction which would generate more income for the Group; and (iii) the buffer providing the flexibility but not obligation for the Group to sell products under the Product Sales Transaction to the Hon Hai Technology Group under unexpected circumstances, we consider the growth rate as mentioned above and the buffer to be acceptable for the purpose of determining the Proposed Revised Annual Caps.

Based on our assessment of the calculation of the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, which are based on factors including the historical transaction amounts for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019, the estimated transaction amounts for the year ending 31 December 2020, the annual growth rate of approximately 23.4% and a buffer of 10%, we are of the view that the bases of determining the Proposed Revised Annual Caps are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. The Independent Shareholders should note that the Proposed Revised Annual Caps and the underlying assumptions and calculations should not be construed as a forecast of any future expenditure, income or profitability of the Group.

Having considered that, in particular, (i) the Hon Hai Technology Group is a prominent industry leader of providing vertically integrated manufacturing services;

  1. the Product Sales Transaction generates more income for the Group; and (iii) the terms of the Product Sales Transaction are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, we are of the view that the entering into of the Product Sales Transaction is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and, together with the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

VII. RECOMMENDATION

In formulating our recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have considered the above principal factors and reasons, in particular, the following:

  1. the reasons and benefits for the Product Sales Transaction;
  2. the Product Sales Transaction forms part of the Group's businesses on a continuing basis;
  3. the Product Sales Transaction will be conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and on normal commercial terms; and
  4. the reason and basis for determining the Proposed Revised Annual Caps are fair and reasonable, details of which are set out in the section headed ''Reason for, and basis of, the Proposed Revised Annual Caps''.

Having considered the factors and reasons as stated above and based on our analysis set out above, we are of the opinion that (i) the Proposed Revised Annual Caps are fair and reasonable; (ii) the entering into of the Product Sales Transaction is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and, together with the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; and (iii) the terms of the Product Sales Transaction are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and, together with the basis of determining the Proposed Revised Annual Caps, are fair and reasonable.

Accordingly, we advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend, and we ourselves recommend, the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Product Sales Transaction and the Proposed Revised Annual Caps.

Yours faithfully,

In order to be entitled to attend and vote at the EGM, all transfers of Shares accompanied by the relevant share certificates and properly completed and signed transfer forms must be lodged with the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 11 September 2020.
  2. Any member entitled to attend and vote at the meeting convened by this notice is entitled to appoint one or more proxies to attend and to vote on his/her behalf. A proxy need not be a member of the Company. If more than one proxy is appointed, the appointment shall specify the number of Shares in respect of which each such proxy is appointed.
  3. Where there are joint registered holders of any Share(s), any one of such joint holders may vote, either in person or by proxy, in respect of such Share(s) as if he/she were solely entitled thereto, but if more than one of such joint holders is present at the meeting, the vote of the senior who tenders a vote, whether in person or by proxy, shall be accepted to the exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders, and for this purpose, seniority shall be determined by the order in which the names stand in the register of members in respect of the joint holding.
  4. To be valid, the form of proxy, together with the power of attorney or other authority, if any, under which it is signed or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority, must be lodged with the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, not less than 48 hours before the time scheduled for holding the meeting (or adjourned meeting thereof).

  6. The ordinary resolution set out above will be determined by way of poll.
