REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE CONSTRUCTION

AGREEMENTS

The Group's products include automotive beauty and maintenance products, personal care products and other products. The Group mainly operates its businesses in Mainland China, Japan, Middle East, the United States and Asia.

As disclosed in the Announcements, the construction of the Factory is in line with the Group's plan to build and develop an overseas manufacturing plant and will, upon completion and operation of the Factory, enable the Group to (i) cope with the changes and impacts that may result from the Sino-US trade war and other international trade barriers; (ii) benefit from the lower cost of raw materials from the

surrounding area, enhancing the competitiveness of the Group's products in Asia; and (iii) diversify the operational risk arising from the increasingly stringent health, safety and environmental policies, laws and regulations in the PRC. As such, the Group entered into the Construction Agreements with the Contractors on 12 April 2021 for the design and construction of the Factory.
