SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Principal terms of the Subscription Agreement are set out below.

(collectively, the "Parties")

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Subscription Price

The Subscription Price (i.e. HK$1.55 per Subscription Share) represents:

  1. a discount of approximately 14.36% to the closing price of HK$1.81 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Subscription Agreement; and
  2. a discount of approximately 13.41% to the average closing price of approximately HK$1.79 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 5 consecutive trading days up to and including the date of the Subscription Agreement.

Based on the Subscription Price and 12,902,000 Subscription Shares to be subscribed by the Subscriber, the total subscription monies payable by the Subscriber to the Company pursuant to the Subscription Agreement amount to approximately HK$20,000,000 which will be settled by cash.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of hair goods, including wigs, hairpieces, braids and high-end human hair extensions, with key product markets in the United States, Europe and Asia.

INFORMATION ON THE SUBSCRIBER

The Subscriber is principally engaged in investment holding. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Subscriber holds approximately 52.17% of the total issued Shares and is a controlling shareholder of the Company. It is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Golden Evergreen. 49% and 51% of the issued share capital of Golden Evergreen are owned by FC Investment (a direct wholly owned subsidiary of FC Management) and CLC Investment (a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CLC Management), respectively. Each of FC Management and CLC Management is directly and wholly owned by HSBC International Trustee Limited, the trustee of the Felix Family Trust and the CLC Family Trust. Mr. Chang Yoe Chong Felix, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of the Company, is the settlor of the Felix Family Trust and a beneficiary of the CLC Family Trust.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION

The Company has been exploring various options to raise capital. In the circumstances, the Company considers that the Subscription from the Subscriber is the most efficient way to raise capital in order to maintain a sufficient cash position of the Group to meet its current liabilities and to enhance the capital base of the Company to lay a more solid foundation for future development. On the other hand, the Subscription by the Subscriber, who is a controlling shareholder of the Company, reflects its confidence in the development prospect of the Company so that the Company can maintain long-term and sustainable development not only from investors but also from its controlling shareholder which is a stable source of financing. As at 30 June 2019, the Company's bank balances and cash amounted to HK$61 million. As at 30 June 2019, the Company's short term loan and long term loan amounted to HK$663.7 million and HK$75.7 million respectively. The Company's borrowings are relatively short-term (approximately 89.8% of its borrowings shall mature in less than one year, although these borrowings are renewable under yearly review by banks). As such, the Company would like to diversify its fund raising channels through conducting the Placing and the Top-up Subscription (the "Top-upPlacing") and the Subscription to reduce its reliance on short-term loans, which helps to improve the Company's liquidity position and to reduce costs. Accordingly, the Company is of the view that the Subscription is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company in respect of the Top-up Placing dated 20 September 2019 and in the circular herein, the Company intends to utilize the proceeds from the Top-up Placing and the Subscription in settling outstanding debts and liabilities of the Group.

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

It would be ideal for the Company if both the Top-up Placing and the Subscription can be completed as soon as possible. However, as set out in section headed "Listing Rules Implications", the Subscription is a connected transaction and therefore is subject to approval of the Independent Shareholders. On the other hand, the Placees, as independent third parties, would like to hold the Shares as soon as possible. The Placees would not invest into the Company if they could only hold the Shares after issue of new Shares to the Subscriber, who is a controlling shareholder and connected person of the Company, which is subject to the Independent Shareholders' approval. Given that the uncertainty on macroeconomic outlook leading to heightened financial market volatility, any Share price fluctuations in between would dampen the confidence of the Placees who might not proceed with the deal, which is to the detriment of the minority Shareholders. The aforementioned is also the underlying reason for the Stock Exchange to roll out the "Top-up Placement" arrangement. As such, the Company decided to structure the fundraisings by conducting both the Top-up Placing and the Subscription, which is the most efficient way to secure investment funding with less uncertainty.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming the Subscription Agreement is completed, the gross proceeds and net proceeds (after deducting professional fees and other related expenses) to be received by the Company from the issue of the Subscription Shares at the Subscription Price are expected to be HK$20,000,000 and approximately HK$19,790,000, respectively. In such case, the net Subscription Price will be approximately HK$1.53. The proceeds from the issue of the Subscription Shares will be used in settling outstanding liabilities of the Group.

As shown above, the Group demonstrated a gradual growth in revenue during the past three financial years and the six months ended 30 June 2019. In FY2017, the Group reported revenue of approximately HK$647.3 million, representing an increase of approximately 8.7% from approximately HK$595.7 million in 2016. Such increase was mainly due to the long-standing stable business relationships with the Group's existing clients and the strong overall market demand for its wigs and hair products. Revenue of the Group in FY2018 further grew by approximately 13.1% to approximately HK$732.2 million, mainly due to the steady overall market demand for its wigs and hair products. For 1H2019, the Group reported revenue of approximately HK$375.3 million, representing an increase of approximately 0.5% from the corresponding period in 2018. Based on the Reports, revenue generated from hair goods made at the Group's production facility in Bangladesh (the "Bangladesh Factory") accounted for approximately 87.4%, 92.3% and 92.1% of the Group's total revenue for FY2017, FY2018 and 1H2019 respectively.

The Group reported an increase in gross profit of approximately 8.9% to approximately HK$230.2 million in FY2017, and further grew by approximately 11.1% to approximately HK$255.8 million in FY2018. Such increase was in line with the growth in revenue during the periods. Despite the growth in revenue in 1H2019, gross profit of the Group dropped by around 4.7% to approximately HK$125.6 million as compared to that for the corresponding period in 2018, which was mainly attributable to the increase in cost of goods sold as a result of a significant increase in workers' minimum wages in Bangladesh.

- 19 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Profit attributable to owners of the Company increased by approximately 233.9% to approximately HK$110.2 million in FY2017, as a result of mainly the fair value gain in the Company' redeemable convertible preferred shares of approximately HK$32.1 million in FY2017 as compared to a fair value loss of approximately HK$39.3 million in FY2016. Based on the disclosures made in the 2017 Annual Report, the redeemable convertible preferred shares were converted into the Company's ordinary Shares in full on 12 July 2017. Despite the growth in revenue in FY2018, profit attributable to owners of the Company increased only marginally by approximately 0.73% in FY2018 as compared to FY2017, due to the increase in revenue in FY2018 having been offset by, among other things, the increases in finance costs and administrative expenses of approximately 24.0% and approximately 16.4% respectively for FY2018. Based on the 2018 Annual Report, the increase in administrative expenses for FY2018 was a result of an increase in staff salary and corresponding pension payments during the year and retainment of professional advisers following its initial public offering in 2017. The increase in finance costs for FY2018 on the other hand was a result of the increase in bank borrowing. As at 31 December 2018, the Company's total bank borrowings amounted to HK$739.4 million, all of which were classified as current liabilities. As a result of, among others, the decrease in gross profit and the increase in finance costs in 1H2019, profit attributable to owners of the Company reported a corresponding decrease by approximately 5.4% for 1H2019 as compared to the corresponding period in 2018.

Set out below is the summary of the Group's financial position as at

31 December 2018 and 30 June 2019, as extracted from the 2019 Interim Report:

Balance of total non-current assets increased from approximately HK$618.5 million as of 31 December 2018 to approximately HK$696.4 million as at 30 June 2019.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Current assets of the Group as at 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2019 mainly comprised, among other things, inventories and trade and other receivables. Despite the total balance for current assets improved from approximately HK$855.8 million as at 31 December 2018 to approximately HK$919.6 million as at 30 June 2019, which was mainly a result of the increases in balances for inventories and trade and other receivables, bank balances and cash decreased from approximately HK$68.9 million as at 31 December 2018 to approximately HK$60.6 million as at 30 June 2019. Such decrease was mainly a result of the substantial increase in repayments of mortgages and short-term loans of approximately HK$111.4 million during the six months ended 30 June 2019, partly offset by the cash received from new mortgage and short-term loans raised.

Current liabilities of the Group as at 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2019 were approximately HK$758.6 million and HK$849.0 million respectively. Current liabilities of the Group was mainly comprised of the secured bank borrowings. Secured bank borrowings of the Group reported balances of approximately HK$646.8 million and HK$739.4 million respectively as at 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2019, representing an increase by approximately 14.3%. Based on the 2019 Interim Report, the Group's secured bank borrowings were subject to variable interest rates based on the Hong Kong Dollar Prime Rate and the London Interbank Offered Rate and the range of effective interest rates during the period were between 2.95% and 4.75% as of 30 June 2019. The Group's secured bank borrowings are mainly used for upgrading of its facilities at the Bangladesh Factory and working capital.

As a result of the increase in secured bank borrowings, the Group's net current assets deteriorated from approximately HK$97.3 million as at 31 December 2018 to approximately HK$70.6 million as at 30 June 2019, representing a decrease of around 27.4%. Based on the 2017 Annual Report, 2018 Annual Report and the 2019 Interim Report, the Group's gearing ratio, which is equivalent to total interest- bearing debt (including secured bank borrowings, obligations under finance leases and any preferred shares) divided by total equity was around 91.0% as at 31 December 2018 and 98.2% as at 30 June 2019. The Group's current ratio remained at approximately 1.1 time as at 31 December 2018 and as at 30 June 2019.

As at 31 December 2018 and 30 June 2019, total equity attributable to owners of the Company was approximately HK$711.9 million and HK$755.1 million respectively. Based on the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date of 648,180,000, total equity attributable to owners of the Company per Share was approximately HK$1.16 as at 30 June 2019.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

2. Reasons for the Subscription Agreement

2.1 Reasons for the Subscription Agreement

As discussed in the Circular, the Company has been exploring various options to raise capital and considers the Subscription by the Subscriber as the most efficient way to raise capital in order to maintain a sufficient cash position of the Group and to meet its current liabilities and to enhance the capital base of the Company to lay a more solid foundation for future development. It is also stated that, the Subscription by the Subscriber, who is a controlling shareholder of the Company, reflects its confidence in the development prospect of the Company so that the Company can maintain long-term and sustainable development not only from investors but also from its controlling shareholder which is a stable source of financing. As also stated in the Circular, as at 30 June 2019, the Company's bank balances and cash amounted to HK$61 million and its short-term loan and long-term loan amounted to HK$663.7 million and HK$75.7 million respectively. The Company has disclosed that its borrowings are relatively short-term (approximately 89.8% of its borrowings shall mature in less than one year, although these borrowings are renewable under yearly review by banks) and as such, the Company would like to diversify its fund-raising channels through conducting the Placing and the Top-up Subscription (the "Top-upPlacing") and the Subscription to reduce its reliance on short-term loans, which helps to improve the Company's liquidity position and to reduce costs. Accordingly, the Company is of the view that the Subscription is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

As further disclosed in the Circular and as disclosed in the announcement of the Company in respect of the Top-up Placing dated 20 September 2019, the Company intends to utilize the proceeds from the Top-up Placing and the Subscription in settling outstanding debts and liabilities of the Group.

We have reviewed the current financial performance of the Company, details of which are discussed above under the heading "1.2 Financial information of the Group", and we note that the Company's closing balance for bank balances and cash was approximately HK$60.6 million as at 30 June 2019 among which, approximately HK$32 million was net proceeds from the Company's initial public offering and has been ear-marked for specific usages including but not limited to, the construction of additional production facilities in Bangladesh, relocation of its research and display centre and sales office in China and the expansion of business by establishing sales offices. As such, only less than HK$30 million of the cash balance as at 30 June 2019 could be possibly used by the Group as general working capital for other purposes. Against such backdrop and given the high level of current liabilities of the Group, we concur the view of the Directors that it is prudent and beneficial for the Company to raise and apply new fund, instead of using the existing internal cash resources, for purposes such as reducing its gearing level.

- 23 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

2.2 Financing alternatives

We note from the Company that it has considered alternative fund-raising methods, including additional bank borrowings, rights issue or open offer, but resolved to proceed with the Top-up Placing and the Subscription.

We understand from the Company that it has considered the possibility of a rights issue or an open offer exercise as it is offered to all Shareholders on a pro-rata basis. However, a rights issue or an open offer exercise will require a relatively lengthy process including but not limited to, the preparation of the requisite compliance and legal documentation such as announcements, circulars, prospectus etc.. The administrative costs involved would also be higher due to the need to issue prospectus and application forms and underwriting fee/placing commission would be incurred.

We have further discussed and understand from the Management that the Company has also approached its existing and new bankers to explore the possibility of additional borrowings. Based on their discussions, the Company was given to understand that given the current global and regional economic environment, the respective banks are reluctant to provide additional financing without additional asset backing and/or interest rates being higher than the existing borrowing rates of the Company.

We also understand the Company has considered bonds or convertible bonds issuance. Again, considering the existing debt level and gearing ratio of the Company and ongoing financing costs associated, the Directors are of the view and we concur that bearing additional liabilities would not be in the interests of the Company in the longer run.

After considering all the alternatives as discussed above, the Company resolved to proceed with the Top-up Placing and the Subscription. On 26 September 2019, the Company completed the Top-up Placing where 33,180,000 Shares were placed to no less than six independent third parties under general mandate. The net proceeds, after deducting all relevant expenses, arising from the Top-up Placing amounted to approximately HK$50.5 million and the Company intends to utilise such net proceeds for settling outstanding liabilities of the Group. At the same time, the Management considers that a placing to the Subscriber on one hand provides an efficient means of raising capital for the Group's immediate needs, it also shows the Subscriber's continued support for the Company's development and future growth.

Given that (i) the Subscription is expected to improve the gearing position of the Group upon completion of the Subscription, in particular, the enhancement in working capital, cash position and net asset value of the Group; and (ii) the Subscription is considered one of the most appropriate and efficient means for the Group to raise funds among other fund raising alternatives for the moment, the Directors consider, and we concur, that the entering into of the Subscription Agreement is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

  3. a discount of approximately 12.92% to the average closing price of approximately HK$1.78 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 10 consecutive trading days up to and including the date of the Subscription Agreement;
  4. a discount of approximately 15.76% to the average closing price of approximately HK$1.84 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 30 consecutive trading days up to and including the date of the Subscription Agreement; and
  5. a premium of approximately 33.62% over the equity attributable to owners of the Company per Share as at 30 June 2019 of approximately HK$1.16 based on the total equity attributable to owners of the Company as at 30 June 2019 of approximately HK$755.1 million and the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date of 648,180,000.

We note that the Subscription Price represents a discount of around 24.02% as compared with the average closing price per Share during the Pre-Announcement Period. We note that however the Company has, on the same date as the Announcement, published the announcement in relation to the Top-up Placing where the Placing Price was equal to the Subscription Price, being HK$1.55, on the same day. With reference to the Company's announcement on 26 September 2019 we noted that the Top-up Placing has been completed with 33,180,000 shares placed to six or more independent third parties.

We consider that Placing Price is a reflection of the market demand for the Company's Shares and therefore, is indicative of the market valuation of the Company. As such, in light of the completion of the Top-up Placing and the Subscription Price being equal to the Placing Price, and that the Subscription Price represents a premium over the equity attributable to owners of the Company as at 30 June 2019, we consider the determination of the Subscription Price primarily based on the Placing Price reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

(ii) Comparison with recent issue of shares

To further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have conducted a comparable analysis through identifying companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange (excluding companies under prolonged suspension or debt restructuring), which announced issues of shares under specific mandate during the period from 1 June 2019 up to and including the Latest Practicable Date ("Comparable Share Issues"). We consider such list an exhaustive list of relevant comparable issues of shares based on the said criteria above.

Despite the subject companies constituting the Comparable Share Issues may have different principal activities, market capitalisation, profitability and financial position as compared with those of the Company, and different reasons for their respective fund raising activities, we would still consider, in light of our selection criteria, capturing recent issue of shares by listed companies under similar market conditions and sentiments can provide Shareholders with a general reference on the recent market trend of this type of transaction in Hong Kong equity capital market. Based on the aforesaid, despite the large range of discount/premium represented by the respective issue price under the Comparable Share Issues, we regard the Comparable Share Issues being meaningful and representative samples for Shareholders to consider amongst the other factors in assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price. We would also consider the review period chosen to be fair and reasonable as it reflects the prevailing market environment.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As shown in the table above, though the Subscription Price represents discounts as deeper than the average discounts of those under the Comparable Share Issues for all of the periods as illustrated in our table above, the discounts represented by the Subscription Price are within the respective range of the premium/discount derived from the Comparable Share Issues for the closing price prior to/on the last trading date, the last 5, 10 and 30 consecutive trading days prior to/on the last trading date. More importantly, as discussed in section headed "4.1 Evaluation of the Subscription Price - (i) Historical Share Performance" above, whilst the Placing Price is a reflection of the market demand for the Company's Shares and therefore, is indicative of the market valuation of the Company, the Subscription Price being equal to the Placing Price and also representing a premium over the equity attributable to owners of the Company as at 30 June 2019, we are of the view that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and is in line with the market.

5. Effect on the shareholding structure of the Company

As disclosed in the Circular, the shareholding structure of the Company (i) as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) immediately after the Completion and the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares in full as contemplated under the Subscription Agreement:

As shown in the table above and assuming the completion of the Subscription Agreement including the issuance of the Subscription Shares, the shareholding in the Company held by the public Shareholders will be diluted by approximately 1.99% from 29.58% to 28.99%.

Although the shareholding interest of the existing public Shareholders will be diluted, considering (i) the reasons for the Subscription Agreement as discussed under the section under "2. Reasons for the Subscription Agreement" above; and (ii) the terms of the Subscription

- 31 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Agreement, including the Subscription Price, being fair and reasonable as discussed under sections headed "4. The Subscription Price" above, we are of the view that the dilution effect on the shareholding of existing public Shareholders in the Company is acceptable.

6. Financial effects

As stated in the letter from the Board of the Circular, the net proceeds (after deducting professional fees and other related expenses) to be received by the Company from the issue of the Subscription Shares is expected to be around HK$19.8 million. As disclosed in the 2019 Interim Report, the Group had cash and cash equivalents and net asset value of approximately HK$60.6 million and HK$752.7 million respectively as at 30 June 2019. Immediately upon completion of the Subscription, it is expected that the cash position and net asset value of the Group will be enhanced with the amount of net proceeds of the Subscription to be received by the Company.

As further stated in the letter from the Board of the Circular, the Company intends to apply the net proceeds from issue of the Subscription Shares for settling outstanding liabilities of the Group. Following the repayment of loans, it is expected that, based on the interim report as at 30 June 2019, the secured bank borrowings of the Group would decrease by approximately 2.7% and the gearing ratio (being the total interest-bearing debt (including secured bank borrowings, obligations under finance leases and any preferred shares) divided by total equity) of the Group would decrease to around 93.2% after completion of the Subscription.

As such, the Directors consider, and we concur that the financial position of the Group is expected to be strengthened after completion of the Subscription.

7. Discussion

Having considered, in particular:

  1. as discussed in sub-section headed "2.2 Financing alternatives" above, the Subscription is considered one of the most appropriate and efficient means for the Group to raise funds among other fund raising alternatives for the moment;
  2. though the Subscription Price represents a discount to the prevailing market price, it is equal to the Placing Price and represents a premium over the equity attributable to owners of the Company as at 30 June 2019;
  3. the discounts represented by the Subscription Price to the prevailing market prices of the Shares being within the respective range of the premium/discount derived from the Comparable Share Issues; and

- 32 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. as discussed in section headed "6. Financial effects" above, the Subscription is expected to improve the financial position of the Group upon completion of the Subscription,

we are of the view that the terms of the Transactions are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered of the above principal factors and reasons, we consider that, though the Subscription Agreement is not in the ordinary and usual course of the business of the Company, terms of the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. We therefore advise that the Independent Shareholders, and the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.

Yours faithfully,
