Risks and Benefits of Therapy Psychotherapy is a process in which Therapist and Patient discuss a myriad of issues, events, experiences and memories for the purpose of creating positive change so Patient can experience his/her life more fully. It provides an opportunity to better, and more deeply understand oneself, as well as, any problems or difficulties Patient may be experiencing. Psychotherapy is a joint effort between Patient and Therapist. Progress and success may vary depending upon the particular problems or issues being addressed, as well as many other factors. Participating in therapy may result in a number of benefits to Patient, including, but not limited to, reduced stress and anxiety, a decrease in negative thoughts and self-sabotaging behaviors, improved interpersonal relationships, increased comfort in social, work, and family settings, increased capacity for intimacy, and increased self-confidence. Such benefits may also require substantial effort on the part of Patient, including an active participation in the therapeutic process, honesty, and a willingness to change feelings, thoughts and behaviors. There is no guarantee that therapy will yield any or all of the benefits listed above. Participating in therapy may also involve some discomfort, including remembering and discussing unpleasant events, feelings and experiences. The process may evoke strong feelings of sadness, anger, fear, etc. There may be times in which Therapist will challenge Patient’s perceptions and assumptions, and offer different perspectives. The issues presented by Patient may result in unintended outcomes, including changes in personal relationships. Patient should be aware that any decision on the status of his/her personal relationships is the responsibility of Patient. During the therapeutic process, many patients find that they feel worse before they feel better. This is generally a normal course of events. Personal growth and change may be easy and swift at times, but may also be slow and frustrating. Patient should address any concerns he/she has regarding his/her progress in therapy with Therapist. Professional consultation is an important component of a healthy psychotherapy practice. As such, Therapist regularly participates in clinical, ethical, and legal consultation with appropriate professionals. During such consultations, Therapist will not reveal any personally identifying information regarding Patient.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTIONS As mentioned above, the Service Agreements will be entered into with associates (as defined under the Listing Rules) of Xx Xxxxx, the Company’s non-executive director. Xx Xxxxx (and his associates) has extensive experience in property development, in particular the design, development, marketing and sale of residential properties and resorts in Phuket, Thailand. In particular, Andaman Property has participated in the design and development of Andara Resort & Villas and Andara Signature Resort Villas in Phuket, Thailand. The Service Agreements would allow the Company to benefit from Xx Xxxxx’x abundant local resources and experience in the Thai property development and hospitality market. Moreover, various associates of Xx Xxxxx are already involved in the Project which commenced development in 2018. Andaman Property has been acting as the development manager for the Phase 1A Development and development of the Phase 1A Associated Facilities under the Existing Phase 1A Development Management Agreement. It is beneficial for the Project to continue the engagement of Andaman Property as the development manager for the provision of Development Management Services for the Phase 1A Development, as well as engagement of Xx Xxxxx’x other associates to provide the relevant Marketing Agency Services, Sales Agency Services and Property Management Services for the Project during and upon completion of development of the Project. None of the other Directors has any material interest in the Service Agreements or the transactions contemplated thereunder, except Xx Xxxxx who has abstained from voting on the relevant resolution of the Board approving each of the Service Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder. As the principal business of the Group is property development and management, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors but excluding Xx Xxxxx) consider that the transactions contemplated under the Service Agreements have been entered into in the usual and ordinary course of business of the Group. They also consider that each of the Service Agreements has been negotiated and conducted on an arm’s length basis between the parties and is on normal commercial terms. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors but excluding Xx Xxxxx) are of the view that the terms of each of the Service Agreements are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and the Service Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder have been approved by the Board. As each of Andaman Property, LKF Xcite, Paradise Luxury and Andara Resort is an associate (as defined under the Listing Rules) of Xx Xxxxx, each of Andaman Property, LKF Xcite, Paradise Luxury and Andara Resort is also a connected person of the Company within the meaning of Rule 14A.06 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Service Agreements constitute continuing connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the transactions contemplated under the Service Agreements all relate to the Project and are entered into with entities which are associates of the same connected person, Xx Xxxxx, and all the Service Agreements will be carried out on a continuing basis over a period of time, the annual caps of all such continuing connected transactions are aggregated in accordance with Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Aggregated Annual Caps of the Service Agreements exceed 0.1% but are less than 5%, such transactions are subject to the announcement and annual reporting requirements but are exempt from the Shareholders’ approval and circular requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
