Board process and rationale The board (with founders Wu Jian and Li Lin abstaining) approved the agreements after benchmarking rental and service terms to prevailing local market rates, citing the strategic importance of maintaining integrated headquarters, retail flagships and logistics facilities within the OōEli ecosystem.
Listing Rules compliance All seven agreements qualify as connected or continuing connected transactions under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, necessitating public announcement and subsequent annual review. No circular or voting by independent shareholders is required.
