This placement will raise approximately HKD 2.707 billion, with the funds allocated as follows: 70% for inventory reserves, 10% for store expansion and optimization, and 20% for replenishing working capital and general corporate purposes.

According to the announcement from LAOPU GOLD (06181), on October 21, 2025 (after the trading session of the Stock Exchange), the company entered into a placement agreement with the placement agent.

The placement shares represent approximately 2.66% and 2.15% of the total issued H shares and total issued shares as of the date of this announcement, respectively, and approximately 2.59% and 2.10% of the total H shares and total issued shares after the placement shares are issued and allotted (assuming no changes in the company's issued shares from the date of this announcement to the cutoff date, excluding the placement shares). The total nominal value of the placement shares will be RMB 3.7118 million. The placement price of HKD 732.49 per H share represents a discount of approximately 4.50% compared to the closing price of HKD 767.00 per H share reported on the Stock Exchange on October 21, 2025 (the date of the placement agreement).

The company will issue the placement shares under the general authorization. The company will apply to the Stock Exchange for the listing and trading of the placement shares.
