INSIDE INFORMATION - UPDATE ON PERFORMANCE OF

SECURITIES INVESTMENT BUSINESS SEGMENT

This announcement is made by GET Holdings Limited ("Company", together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to Rule 17.10(2)(a) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Stock Exchange") ("GEM Listing Rules") and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The board ("Board") of directors ("Directors") of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders of the Company and potential investors that, based on the preliminary review and analysis of the latest available unaudited financial information of the securities investment business of the Group ("Securities Investment Business"), the Group is expected to record a segment loss for the Securities Investment Business of not more than HK$3 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 ("FY2018") as compared to a segment loss for the Securities Investment Business of approximately HK$332.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2017 ("FY2017"). The expected decrease in the segment loss for the Securities Investment Business for FY2018 was primarily attributable to (1) the improvement in the performance of the Group's disposal of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL Financial Assets") from a loss on disposal of approximately HK$260.5 million for FY2017 to a gain on disposal of approximately HK$0.1 million for FY2018; (2) the decrease in the net fair value loss on the FVTPL Financial Assets from approximately HK$31.2 million for FY2017 to approximately HK$2.5 million for FY2018; and (3) the absence of the impairment loss on the Group's available-for-sale financial assets for FY2018 (FY2017: impairment loss of approximately HK$38.2 million) upon the adoption of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standard 9 (Financial Instruments) by the Group on 1 January 2018.

* For identification purposes only

As disclosed in the 2018 first quarterly report of the Company, due to the escalating trade conflicts between the United States and China which brought all sorts of instabilities to the stock market and the potential price risk of the Securities Investment Business, the Board, after careful consideration, decided to suspend operation of the Securities Investment Business with effect from 11 May 2018, and will, taking into account the prevailing market situations, continue to dispose of assets entailed in the Securities Investment Business in due course.

As the Group is still in the process of preparing and finalising its annual results for FY2018, the information contained in this announcement is only based on a preliminary assessment made by the Board with reference to the information currently available. It is not based on any data or information being audited or reviewed by the auditors of the Company. There may be adjustments following further review and finalisation of the annual results of the Group for FY2018 by the Board.

Further information and other details of the Group's financial performance for FY2018 will be disclosed in the forthcoming 2018 annual results announcement of the Group in due course.

Shareholders of the Company and potential investors should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
