束。

2.2 本公司可根據其絕對酌情權決定以何種形式或透過擎天集團執行客戶的證券交易。

3.2 本公司可在沒有事前向客戶提及的情況下，將客戶的買賣盤與其他客戶的買賣盤合併執行。這可能較獨立地為客戶執行買賣盤而為客戶帶來較有利或不利的執行價格。如果未有足夠的證券以滿足這些經合併的買賣盤，本公司可在適當地考慮市場慣例及對客戶是否公平後，將有關交易在其客戶之間分配。

3.3 由於客觀環境的限制及證券價格迅速改變，本公司可能未必能夠全數執行或依照在某個時間的報價或按照 “最佳價” 或 “市價”執行客戶的買賣盤，但客戶仍同意受有關交易的約束。

3.5 市價買賣盤可能會因為市況波動而導致以不利的價格被執行。此外，由於市價買賣盤會即時被執行，因此通常很難予以取消。

3.6 客戶確認除非本公司實際收到客戶關於某一項或以上指定交易的相反意向的書面通知，否則客戶將一直不會指示本公司在香港聯合交易所或透過香港聯合交易所或其他交易所傳達或接受屬賣空指示 (其釋義照 “證券及期貨條例”附表 1 第 1 部第 1 條所訂定)的出售證券指示。

3.8 客戶明白凡本公司以代理人身份售賣證券，不得在香港聯合交易所或透過香港聯合交易所或其他交易所傳達或接受任何屬賣空指示的指示，除非本公司按照 “證券及期貨條例” 的有關規則訂明的時間內，已從客戶或（如該指示是為其他人的利益或代其他人作出）該其他人士收取根據 “證券及期貨條例” 規定作出之以文件形式提供的如此訂明的資料（如有的話）。

3.9 客戶明白及同意本公司可使用電話錄音系統將與客戶及客戶的獲授權代理人等的對話交談錄音。客戶聲明及保證每個獲授權代理人亦同意本公司進行此等錄音。

3.10 客戶應知悉與證券交易相關的潛在風險。假如本公司向客戶招攬或建議任何金融產品，該金融產品必須是本公司經考慮客戶的財政狀况、投資經驗及投資目標後而認為合理地適合的。本協議的其他條文或任何其他本公司可能要求客戶簽署的文件及本公司可能要求客戶

作出的聲明概不會减損本條款的效力。

4.2 電子交易服務純粹是為著提供參考信息而向客戶提供由第三者所發佈的有關證券、衍生產品、互惠基金及其他投資產品的信息。由於市況波動及數據傳送過程可能出現的阻延，有關的報價可能並非該等產品的實時市場報價。儘管本公司相信該等信息是可靠的，但它沒有任何獨立的基礎可以核證或反駁有關方面所提供的信息的準確性和完整程度。

4.3 電子交易服務所提供的信息是按照“現況”及 “現時所供應”的基礎而提供的，及本公司不會擔保該等信息的及時性、次序、準確度、充份程度或完整程度。本公司沒有就該等信息作出任何保證。

5.8 在不影響本公司的任何其他權利及補救方法的情況下，客戶同意本公司可處置或促使擎天集團處置任何不時代客戶收取或持有的證券或證券抵押品，以解除由客戶或代其對本公司、擎天集團或第三者所負的法律責任。

3.1 客戶謹此指示並授權本公司以客戶名義在其帳冊內開立並維持一個或多個帳戶(等)，以不時按照本協議之條款和條件買賣期權合約及進行交易所期權買賣業務。

4.2 所有指示必須由客戶親自或透過電話口述、或以書面親手遞送或按照第 19 條之規定以任何電子服務方式或本公司在不時通知可接受之任何其他方式送達。

4.3 本公司有權依賴本公司有理由相信為一名獲授權人士代表客戶所作之任何指示、指令、通知或其他通訊方式，而客戶須受該等通訊方式約束。客戶同意就本公司在合理及正當之情況下，因依賴該等通訊方式而招致之任何損失、費用及支出(包括法律訴訟費)，向本公司作出彌償並確保本公司免受該等損失。

4.4 本公司可將與客戶之所有電話對話進行錄音，以核證客戶之指示。客戶同意，倘出現糾紛，將接受任何此等錄音內容，作為證實客戶所發指示之最終及不可推翻之證據。

4.5 不管本協議所載內容如何，本公司可以行使其絕對酌情權，拒絕執行客戶之任何指示，而且毋須作出解釋。

4.6 由於受交易所(等)之客觀條件限制和期權合約或其相關之證券之價格經常出現迅速之變化，報價或買賣將偶爾出現延誤。因此，即使本公司作出合理努力，仍可能未能按照任何指定時間所報之價格交易。就未有或未能遵照客戶所發指示中之任何條款而導致之任何損失，本公司概不承擔任何責任。倘若本公司在作出合理努力後，仍未能完全執行任何指示，則本公司有權在未得客戶事先確認之情況下，部份履行該指示。無論如何，當作出任何執行命令之指示後，客戶必須接受該結果，並受其約束。

4.7 在有關交易所收市或由有關交易所規定之該等其他屆滿日期或客戶與本公司可能同意之其他較後時間之前，倘若本公司應客戶要求所落之任何即日期權合約買賣、結算、行使或其他方面仍未執行，則此等即日買賣、結算、行使及其他方面(如部分已被執行，則未被執行的部分)必須被視作已經自動取消論。

5.2 本公司可於任何時候限制客戶之未平倉盤或交收責任。客戶確認﹕

5.3 本公司可能需要遵從聯交所訂明之持倉限額，拋售或過戶客戶合約；及

5.7 本公司可應客戶要求及依照客戶指示，要求客戶之客戶合約過戶予另一期權交易所參與者。客戶同意，在本公司收到該等請求後，本公司與客戶之任何客戶合約將藉期權交易規則及本協議之施行，即時更替為一份新客戶合約，合約條款與原客戶成交條款相同，另一期權交易所參與者與客戶為該等客戶合約之當事人。若客戶之要求未獲接受，則原客戶合約仍然完全有效，猶如客戶未曾要求作出過戶安排。

6. 保證金規定及催繳保證金

6.1 客戶同意保持該等保證金並須應要求以本公司決定之形式、金額、時限以現金、證券、及/或其他資產方式，支付或交付額外保證金，該等保證金及額外保證金指客戶須支付，或本公司代表客戶支付與有關根據本協議條款代表客戶訂立之任何期權合約相關之保證金或任何其他款項。要求支付保證金之金額應不少於，但可超過根據規則規定與客戶未平倉及交付責任相關之金額，基於市值之變化，可能需支付進一步之保證金。

6.2 倘若本公司接受證券作為保證金，則客戶將應要求授權本公司，可能因根據規則而需要直接或透過期權交易所參與者，向期權結算公司交付該等證券，作為因客戶向本公司發出指示，而作為與交易所交易的期權業務有關之期權結算公司之抵押品。除非客戶另行同意，否則本公司並未獲客戶之進一步授權，借入或借出客戶之證券，或為任何其他目的放棄代客戶持有之任何證券(除非還予客戶或應客戶指示)。

6.3 時限對支付任何保證金至為重要，若本公司作出付款要求時而並無規定其他時間，則客戶需遵從該等要求在該要求提出之時起計 2 個小時內支付款項(如本公司要求，則更早之時間)。客戶亦同意，應要求即時全額支付任何關於本公司帳戶之任何欠款。全部用作保證金及其他用途之基本及其後按金及付款，須以已結算款項及以本公司可全權決定之貨幣及金額支付。

6.4 在不影響上文第 6.1 條之情況下，本公司有絕對酌情權不時修訂保證金規定。過往之保證金規定並未構成先例，經修訂之規定一旦訂立，須將適用受該等修訂影響之現有持倉盤及合約中新增持倉盤。

6.5 為避免產生疑問，若客戶未能在本公司規定之時間內，補倉或支付任何其他應付帳款，則本公司有權(而不影響本公司其他權利之情況下)在未通知客戶之情況下，拋售關於未補倉之未平倉合約，及處理任何及所有為客戶或代表客戶持有之資產，及將所得款項及任何現金存款 (等)支付客戶尚欠本公司之所有未償還餘額。在支付本公司欠款後之任何款項餘額將退回予客戶。

6.6 受客戶款項規則所制約下，在本協議中任何內容均不應詮釋為剝奪或影響本公司根據第 13 條有關於任何銀行帳戶持有之任何款項，或有關收取或繳存入該等銀行帳戶之款項之合法索償權利、留置權或其他權利及補救方法。

6.7 為避免產生疑問，倘若任何客戶之帳戶(等)產生借方結餘，則本公司並無及不應被視作有提供或連續提供任何財務通融之責任。尤其在但不限於本公司允許任何帳戶(等)產生借方結餘之事實時，這並不引申本公司對預付款項之義務，或代表客戶承擔其後任何一次同樣情況下預付款項義務，倘本公司允許產生任何借方結餘，亦不會影響客戶與任何借方結餘有關之責任。

7. 買賣推薦

7.1 客戶確認並同意，客戶須對帳戶(等)內所有交易負上全責，而本公司只負責帳戶(等)內交易之執行、結算和進行；至於任何介紹商號、投資顧問或其他第三者對帳戶(等)和帳戶(等)內任何交易所作之任何行為、作為、xx、或聲明，本公司概不負上任何責任或義務；任何由本公司、其僱員或代理人提供之意見及資料，不管是否應索取要求提供，均不構成訂立交易之要約，而本公司對於此等忠告或資料均毋須承擔任何責任。

8. 結算

8.2 客戶確認，在且只有在到期日，期權系統將就所有已到價或超過期權結算公司不時訂明之百分比之未平倉買空盤自動產生行使指示，在到期日系統終止前，根據期權結算公司不時修訂之結算運作程式，客戶可指示本公司，撤銷該等自動產生之行使指示。

8.3 關於客戶之沽空倉盤，倘若在客戶合約有效行使之條件下(包括根據第 8.4 條涉及之情況)，客戶須根據有關客戶合約在[緊接行使日期後下一營業日下午三時十五分之前]履行其責任。若客戶違約，則在不影響本公司擁有針對客戶之其他權利及應採取之補救方法之前提下，本公司可在未作出繳款要求或通知之情況下，以本公司認為最合適之方式，替客戶將未平倉合約平倉，或作出同樣形式處理。客戶同意，將負責支付本公司與上述行為有關之所有費用，而且本公司對由此產生之任何損失概不承擔責任。

8.4 客戶明白並同意，根據期權交易規則及結算規則，期權結算公司可隨機選擇任何期權交易所參與者行使未平倉沽空盤之客戶合約，在該等情況下，該期權交易所參與者須從組成客戶之未平倉沽空盤之所有客戶合約中隨機選擇一份客戶合約，與客戶合約為相同期權系列之客戶未平倉沽空盤。如此選擇之客戶合約，藉本協議及期權交易規則及結算規則之施行，在該等選擇發生之時須視作已全面有效行使。本公司須儘快知會客戶該等行使詳情。

8.5 當客戶合約有效行使時，將產生交收責任。當客戶行使或被針對行使客戶合約時，客戶將依照符合標準合約之有關合約，及本公司已知會客戶之情況，履行交收責任。

8.6 客戶謹此承諾，就其未在第 8 條訂明之到期日時履行其責任，負責彌償本公司由此引致之任何損失、收費、費用及開支(包括法律費用)。

附錄 1 風險披露聲明

證券交易的風險

證券價格有時可能會非常波動。證券價格可升可跌，甚至變成毫無價值。買賣證券未必一定能夠賺取利潤、反而可能會招致損失。

買賣創業板股份的風險

創業板股份涉及很高的投資風險。尤其是該等公司可在無需具備盈利往績及無需預測未來盈利的情況下在創業板上市。創業板股份可能非常波動及流通性很低。你只應在審慎及仔細考慮後，才作出有關的投資決定。創業板市場的較高風險性質及其他特點，意味著這個市場較適合專業及其他熟悉投資技巧的投資者。

現時有關創業板股份的資料只可以在香港聯合交易所有限公司所操作的互聯網網站上找到。創業板上市公司一般毋須在憲報指定的報章刊登付費公告。

假如你對本風險披露聲明的內容或創業板市場的性質及在創業板買賣的股份所涉風險有不明白之處，應尋求獨立的專業意見。

人民幣計價證券交易的風險

人民幣證券受匯率波動影響，而匯率波動可能產生機會或風險。閣下如將人民幣兌換為港幣或其他外幣時，可能受人民幣匯率波動影響而招致損失。目前人民幣並非完全可自由兌換，而通過銀行進行人民幣兌換亦受每日限額限制及不時適用的其他限制。閣下務須留意不時適用的有關兌換的限制及其變動。如閣下需兌換人民幣金額超過每日限額，須預留時間以備兌換。任何與人民幣証券交易有關的人民幣兌換將由本公司以主事人的身份按市場當時通行匯率而決定之匯率進行。

投資海外發行人證券的風險

由於海外發行人是受其所屬司法權區的不同法例約束，如閣下投資於海外發行人於香港上市的證券，所衍生的稅務責任或可能因稅制不同而與投資於香港發行人的證券有所不同(如交易稅、資本收益稅及股息稅等)。閣下應按自身情況，就購買、持有、處置或買賣海外發行人證券的適用稅務責任諮詢其稅務顧問，以遵守適用的法律及法規。

行使及買賣供股權益的風險

x投資者要行使及買賣供股權益，應留意有關的期限及其他時間表。未被行使的供股權益在到期時將沒有任何價值。但若投資者決定不行使供股權益並在市場上轉讓這項權利，應留意認購期內設有指定的買賣期，在此之後供股權益將會變得毫無價值。若投資者決定放棄供股權益，其持股比例將會因公司增發新股而被攤薄。

買賣交易所買賣基金的風險

1. 市場風險

交易所買賣基金主要為追蹤某些指數、行業/領域又或資產組別(如股票、債券或商品)的表現。交易所買賣基金經理可用不同策略達至目標，但通常也不能在跌市中酌情採取防守策略。投資者必須要有因為相關指數/資產的波動而蒙受損失的準備。

2. 追蹤誤差

這是指交易所買賣基金的表現與相關指數/資產的表現脫節，原因可以來自交易所買賣基金的交易費及其他費用、相關指數/資產改變組合、交易所買賣基金經理的複製策略等等因素。（常見的複製策略包括完全複製/選具代表性樣本以及綜合複製，詳見下文。）

3. 以折讓或溢價交易

交易所買賣基金的價格可能會高於或低於其資產淨值，當中主要是供求因素的問題，在市場大幅波動兼變化不定期間尤其多見，專門追蹤一些對直接投資設限的市場/行業的交易所買賣基金亦可能會有此情況。

4. 外匯風險

x投資者所買賣結構性產品的相關資產並非以港幣為單位，其尚要面對外匯風險。貨幣兌換率的波動可對相關資產的價值造成負面影響，

連帶影響結構性產品的價格。

5. 流通量風險

證券莊家是負責提供流通量、方便買賣交易所買賣基金的交易所參與者。儘管交易所買賣基金多有一個或以上的證券莊家，但若有證券莊家失責或停止履行職責，投資者或就不能進行買賣。

6. 交易所買賣基金的不同複製策略涉及對手風險

(a) 完全複製及選具代表性樣本策略

採用完全複製策略的交易所買賣基金，通常是按基準的相同比重投資於所有的成份股/資產。採取選具代表性樣本策略的，則只投資於其中部分(而不是全部)的相關成份股/資產。直接投資相關資產而不經第三者所發行合成複製工具的交易所買賣基金，其交易對手風險通常不是太大問題。

(b) 綜合複製策略

採用綜合複製策略的交易所買賣基金，主要透過掉期或其他衍生工具去追蹤基準的表現。現時，採取綜合複製策略的交易所買賣基金可再分為兩種：

i. 以掉期合約構成

總回報掉期(total return swaps)讓交易所買賣基金經理可以複製基金基準的表現而不用購買其相關資產。以掉期合約構成的交易所買賣基金需承受源自掉期交易商的交易對手風險。若掉期交易商失責或不能履行其合約承諾，基金或要蒙受損失。

ii. 以衍生工具構成

交易所買賣基金經理也可以用其他衍生工具，綜合複製相關基準的經濟利益。有關衍生工具可由一個或多個發行商發行。以衍生工具構成的交易所買賣基金需承受源自發行商的交易對手風險。若發行商

失責或不能履行其合約承諾，基金或要蒙受損失。

交易所買賣基金即使取得抵押品，也需依靠抵押品提供者履行責任。此外，申索抵押品的權利一旦行使，抵押品的市值可以遠低於當初所得之數，令交易所買賣基金損失嚴重。

集體投資計劃的風險

集體投資計劃可廣泛地（最多 100%）投資於金融衍生工具，定息證券及/或結構性產品（包括但不限於信用違約掉期、次等投資級別債

務、按揭抵押證券及其他資產抵押證券），並涉及不同的風險（包括但不限於交易對手風險、流通性風險、信用風險及市場風險）。集體投資計劃可能使用衍生工具的交易策略可能招致損失的部份原因包括但不限於：市場狀況動盪、衍生工具與取決其價格的證券走勢關連性不完美、市場缺乏流動性，以及交易對手方的違責風險。

結構性產品交易的風險

遵照香港聯合交易所有限公司證券(上市規則)規定的詳情，在聯交所上市的衍生權證(「權證」)、牛熊證(「牛熊證」)及其他結構性產品(權證、牛熊證及其他結構性產品)統稱「結構性產品」。

結構性產品之發行人有時可能是唯一在有關股票交易所提供買賣報價的一方。結構性產品的價格可急升，亦可急跌，而投資者可能會蒙受其全部投資的損失。

結構性產品須承擔多項風險，包括但不限於以下所列：

倘若結構性產品發行商破產而未能履行其對所發行證券的責任，投資者只被視為無抵押債權人，對發行商任何資產均無優先索償權。因此，投資者須特別留意結構性產品發行商的財力及信用。

1. 非抵押產品風險

非抵押結構性產品並沒有資產擔保。倘若發行商破產，投資者可以損失其全數投資。要確定產品是否非抵押，投資者須細閱上市文件。

2. 槓桿風險

結構性產品如衍生權證及牛xxx是槓桿產品，其價值可按相對相關資產的槓桿比率而快速改變。投資者須留意，結構性產品的價值可以跌至零，屆時當初投資的資金將會盡失。

3. 有效期的考慮

結構性產品設有到期日，到期後的產品即一文不值。投資者須留意產品的到期時間，確保所選產品尚餘的有效期能配合其交易策略。於到期時，若現金結算款為零或負數，投資者將損失其投資價值。

4. 特殊價格移動

結構性產品的價格或會因為外來因素(如市場供求)而有別於其理論價，因此實際成交價可以高過亦可以低過理論價。

5. 外匯風險

x投資者所買賣結構性產品的相關資產並非以港幣為單位，其尚要面對外匯風險。貨幣兌換率的波動可對相關資產的價值造成負面影響，

連帶影響結構性產品的價格。

6. 流通量風險

聯交所規定所有結構性產品發行商要為每一隻個別產品委任一名流通量提供者。流通量提供者的職責在為產品提供兩邊開盤方便買賣。若有流通量提供者失責或停止履行職責，有關產品的投資者或就不能進行買賣，直至有新的

流通量提供者委任出來止。

故此，投資者應確保了解結構性產品的性質，及在投資結構性產品前仔細研究基本上市文件及任何發行結構性產品的有關補充上市文件內所列的風險因素，及在投資結構性產品前，（如需要）尋求專業意見。

投資者需要清楚了解有關產品在市況極度惡劣或面臨破產的情況下，構成一般無抵押合約的責任。

買賣牛熊證的額外風險

1. 強制收回風險

投資者買賣牛熊證，須留意牛熊證可以即日「取消」或強制收回的特色。若牛熊證的相關資產值等同上市文件所述的強制收回價/水平，牛熊證即停止買賣。屆時，投資者只能收回已停止買賣的牛熊證由產品發行商按上市文件所述計算出來的剩餘價值 (注意：剩餘價值可以是零)。

2. 融資成本

牛熊證的發行價已包括融資成本。融資成本會隨牛熊證接近到期日而逐漸減少。牛熊證的年期愈長，總融資成本愈高。若一天牛熊證被收回，投資者即損失牛熊證整個有效期的融資成本。融資成本的計算程式載於牛熊證的上市文件。

買賣衍生權證的額外風險

1. 時間損耗風險

假若其他情況不變，衍生權證愈接近到期日，價值會愈低，因此不能視為長線投資。

2. 波幅風險

衍生權證的價格可隨相關資產價格的引申波幅而升跌，投資者須注意相關資產的波幅。

場外交易的風險

1. 你必須了解場外 (「Over-the-Counter」) 交易的性質、交易設施及你可承擔的風險程度，才可進行交易。如有疑問你應尋求獨立的專業意見。

2. 進行場外交易須承擔風險，包括交易對手風險、證券最終未能在交易所上市的風險、流通性較低及波幅較高。相關交易並不保證能夠結算，你須承擔你及/或你的交易對手無法結算所招致的任何虧損或開支。

3. 在場外交易的證券價格，可能與其在交易所上市後於正規市場時間內的開市或交易價格出現重大差距。場外交易市場顯示的證券價格可能無法反映相同證券於其他同時運作的自動化交易系統交易的價格。

4. 場外交易市場不受交易所監管，亦不獲投資者賠償基金保障。直至相關交易於該證券上市後正式記錄於交易所的交易系統，方受到有關監管及保障。

投資美國交易所上市或場外交易證券或美國衍生工具的風險

閣下在投資任何受美國法律規管市場的證券或證券相類的工具前，應先瞭解適用於該等交易的美國規例。美國法律通常適用於美國市場交易，無論客戶所屬的國家法律是否亦同時適用。

有眾多（但此非指全部）股票，債券及期權均在美國證券交易所掛牌及交易。納斯達克以往是交易商之間的場外交易市場，現亦已成為一

家美國交易所。就在交易所上市的股票，債券及期權而言，每家交易所會發有補充美國證券交易委員會規例的規例，以保障在該交易所進行買賣證券的個人及機構。

交易商可以繼續利用交易所掛牌或非交易所掛牌的工具進行場外交易。就未有在交易所掛牌的證券，其交易可以透過在場外電子交易板或載有代理（非真正的）交易商報價之交易商之間的粉紅價單進行。這些交易設施是在納斯達克以外設置。

證券期權受美國證券交易委員會及該期權掛牌的證券交易所之規例管轄。期貨合約或商品例如小麥或黃金的期權受美國商品期貨交易委員會之規例管轄。商業期權例如房地產期權則不受美國證券交易委員會或美國商品期貨交易委員會之規則限制。

無論閣下意欲投資在美國交易所掛牌的證券、場外交易證券或衍生工具（如期權或期貨），客戶應瞭解監管擬進行交易之市場的有關規例。投資於沒有須在交易所掛牌要求的衍生工具會傾向使風險增加及衍生工具市場的性質傾向使風險進一步增加。

場外電子交易板的莊家不能使用電子媒介與其他交易商溝通以執行交易。他們必須以手動方式與市場溝通，即使用標準電話線與其他交易商溝通以執行交易，此舉可能會引致延遲與市場溝通。若在同時交易量增加，可引致場外電子交易板的證券價格波幅擴大及遲誤延長執行時間。客戶在市場落盤時應加倍審慎，並完全了解有關外電子交易板交易的風險。

市場數據如報價，交易量及市場大小可能或未必與納斯達克或掛牌證券預期般一樣保持現況更新。

因參與場外證券市場的莊家數目可能較少，該證券的流通量可能大幅較在市場掛牌證券的流通量低。因此，閣下的指示可能只獲部分執行，甚至全部不獲執行。此外，市場落盤所收到的價格可能與輸入買賣盤時的報價有明顯的不同。當某一證券的股份交易減少，可引致賣出/買入價的差距增加及造成價格波動。在某些情況下，未必能在合理時間內為場外證券平倉。

場外交易證券的發行商並無責任向投資者提供資訊、與證券交易委員會維持登記或向投資者提供定期報告。在香港聯合交易所有限公司買賣納斯達克－美國證券交易所證券的風險

按照納斯達克－美國證券交易所試驗計劃(“試驗計劃”)掛牌買賣的證券是為熟悉投資技巧的投資者而設的。你在買賣該項試驗計劃的證券

之前，應先諮詢有關持牌人或註冊人的意見和熟悉該項試驗計劃。你應知悉，按照該項試驗計劃掛牌買賣的證券並非以香港聯合交易所有限公司的主板或創業板作第一或第二上市的證券類別加以監管。

在香港以外地方收取或持有的客戶資產的風險

持牌人或註冊人在香港以外地方收取或持有的客戶資產，是受到有關海外司法管轄區的適用法律及規例所監管的。這些法律及規例與《證券及期貨條例》(第 571 章)及根據該條例制訂的規則可能有所不同。因此，有關客戶資產將可能不會享有賦予在香港收取或持有的客戶資產的相同保障。

買賣外國證券包括中國 B 股的風險

你必須先瞭解外國證券買賣的性質以及將面臨的風險，然後方可進行外國證券的買賣。特別是，儘管擎天證券有限公司是聯交所的交易所參與者，外國證券的買賣並不受聯交所所管轄，並且不會受到投資者賠償基金所保障。你應根據本身的投資經驗、風險承受能力以及其他相關條件，小心衡量自己是否適合參與該等買賣及徵求獨立專業意見(如有疑問)。

買賣交易所交易票據(“ETN”)的風險

ETN 是一種由承銷銀行發行的無擔保、非次級債務證券，旨在為投資者提供各個市場基準的回報。ETN 的回報通常與一個市場基準或策略的表現掛鈎，並扣除適用的費用。與其他債務證券類似，ETN 有到期日，且僅以發行人信用作為支持。

投資者可以透過交易所買賣ETN 或於預定到期日收取現金付款，或視乎基準指數的表現有機會直接向發行人提早贖回 ETN(須扣除適用的費用)。然而，投資者於贖回時可能受 ETN 的提早贖回條件限制，例如最少贖回數量。

投資者並無保證將於到期日或發行人提早回購時可收回投資本金或任何投資回報。對於 ETN，正面表現的月份或無法抵銷其中某些極不利之月度表現。ETN 發行人有權隨時按回購價值贖回 ETN。若於任何時候 ETN 的回購價值為零，投資者的投資則變得毫無價值。ETN 可能流通性不足，投資者並無保證可隨時按其意願，以目標價格買賣。

儘管 ETF 與 ETN 均有追蹤基準指數的特性，但ETN 屬於債務證券，並不實際擁有其追蹤的任何資產，擁有的僅是發行人向投資者分配理論上存在的基準指數所反映的回報之承諾。ETN 對投資組合的多元化程度有限，投資者須受集中於特定指數及指數成份的集中性風險。鑒於 ETN 屬無抵押品的債務工具，x ETN 發行商發生違約或破產，最大潛在損失可能是投資額的百分之一百及無法獲得任何利潤。

即使受追蹤的相關指數沒有變化，發行人信用評級降級亦會導致 ETN 的價值下跌。因此，買賣 ETN 的投資者直接面臨發行人的信用風險，且在發行人宣佈破產的情況下僅擁有無擔保的破產索償權。本金金額須扣除定期繳納的投資者費用或任何適用的費用，該等費用會對回報產生不利影響。你應注意 ETN 的相關資產可能以 ETN 本身以外的貨幣計值的匯率風險。匯率變動可為你的投資帶來不利影響。

個別 ETN 可能會採用槓桿，而 ETN 的價值會因應其對於相關資產的槓桿比率而迅速變化。你應注意 ETN 的價值可能會跌至零，你可能損失所有的投資本金。

股票掛鈎票據的風險

股票掛鈎票據是由票據/存款與期權結合而成，其回報是基於相關資產的價格表現而釐定。其最大回報通常受限於一個預先訂定的金額。如相關資產的價格走勢與客戶的預期出現重大程度的相反，閣下可能損失全部投資本金。大部份的股票掛鈎票據並非低風險產品。閣下需承受發行商的信貸風險，而其回報主要視乎相關資產價格的未來走勢。股票掛鈎票據是涉及衍生工具的結構性產品。其最大回報是有上限

的，但其潛在損失可能很重大。閣下在決定投資前閱讀所有有關銷售文件，以了解股票掛鈎票據的特性及風險，均為猶其重要。

保證金買賣的風險

藉存放抵押品而為交易取得融資的虧損風險可能極大。你所蒙受的虧蝕可能會超過你存放於有關持牌人或註冊人作為抵押品的現金及任何其他資產。市場情況可能使備用交易指示，例如“止蝕”或“限價”指示無法執行。你可能會在短時間內被要求存入額外的保證金款額或繳付利息。假如你未能在指定的時間內支付所需的保證金款額或利息，你的抵押品可能會在未經你的同意下被出售。此外，你將要為你的帳戶內因此而出現的任何短欠數額及需繳付的利息負責。因此，你應根據本身的財政狀況及投資目標，仔細考慮這種融資安排是否適合你。

提供將你的證券抵押品等再質押的授權書的風險

向持牌人或註冊人提供授權書，容許其按照某份證券借貸協議書使用你的證券或證券抵押品、將你的證券抵押品再質押以取得財務通融，或將你的證券抵押品存放為用以履行及清償其交收責任及債務的抵押品，存在一定風險。假如你的證券或證券抵押品是由持牌人或註冊人在香港收取或持有的，則上述安排僅限於你已就此給予書面同意的情況下方行有效。此外，除非你是專業投資者，你的授權書必須指明有效期，而該段有效期不得超逾 12 個月。若你是專業投資者，則有關限制並不適用。

此外，假如你的持牌人或註冊人在有關授權的期限屆滿前最少 14 日向你發出有關授權將被視為已續期的提示，而你對於在有關授權的期限屆滿前以此方式將該授權延續不表示反對，則你的授權將會在沒有你的書面同意下被視為已續期。現時並無任何法例規定你必須簽署這些授權書。然而，持牌人或註冊人可能需要授權書，以便例如向你提供保證金貸款或獲准將你的證券或證券抵押品借出予第三方或作為抵押品存放於第三方。有關持牌人或註冊人應向你闡釋將為何種目的而使用授權書。

倘若你簽署授權書，而你的證券或證券抵押品已借出予或存放於第三方，該等第三方將對你的證券或證券抵押品具有留置權或作出押記。雖然有關持牌人或註冊人根據你的授權書而借出或存放屬於你的證券或證券抵押品須對你負責，但上述持牌人或註冊人的違責行為可能會導致你損失你的證券或證券抵押品。

大多數持牌人或註冊人均提供不涉及證券借貸的現金帳戶。假如你毋需使用保證金貸款，或不希望本身證券或證券抵押品被借出或遭抵押，則切勿簽署上述的授權書，並應要求開立該等現金帳戶。

提供代存郵件或將郵件轉交第三方的授權書的風險

假如你向持牌人或註冊人提供授權書，允許他代存郵件或將郵件轉交予第三方，那麼你便須盡速親身收取所有關於你帳戶的成交單據及結單，並加以詳細閱讀，以確保可及時偵察到任何差異或錯誤。

使用電子交易服務的風險

1. 如果你透過電子服務進行買賣，你便須承受該電子服務系統帶來的風險，包括有關系統硬體和軟件可能會失靈的風險。系統失靈可能會導致你的買賣盤不能根據指示執行，甚或完全不獲執行；

2. 由於未可預計的交通擠塞和其他原因，電子服務可能並不可靠的，及存在通過電子服務進行的交易在傳輸和接收你的指示或其他資訊過程中可能會被耽誤、延遲執行你的指示或有關指示以有別於你發出指示時的市價執行、指示在傳輸時被中斷或停頓等風險。在通訊過程中也存在誤解或錯誤的風險，以及在發出了指示後，通常也不一定可以取消。由於此類中斷、耽誤或被第三方進入而使客戶遭受的任何損失，本公司概不承擔責任。如果你不準備接受此類中斷或耽誤引致的風險，你不應透過電子服務來作出任何指示；及

3. 通過電子服務向你提供的市場數據和其他資訊可能是本公司從第三者獲得的。雖然本公司相信這些數據和資訊是可靠的，但本公司或該等第三者都不會保證這些數據和資訊的準確性、完整性和即時性。

股票掛鈎投資（息股證/高息票據）的風險

1. 股票市場風險

股票掛鈎投資產品（下稱「股票掛鈎產品」）（含息股證及高息票據）是由票據/存款與期權結合而成，其回報是基於相關資產的價格表現而釐定。你需留意股票市場和相關證券價格的波動；及股息和公司行動帶來的影響。

2. 交易對手風險

大部份的股票掛鈎產品並非低風險產品。你需承受發行商的信貸風險，而股票掛鈎產品的回報主要視乎相關資產價格的未來走勢。你或許損失部份或全部投資本金，又可能會接收相關證券或部份的投資本金作為回報。

3. 利潤及虧損

股票掛鈎產品是涉及金融衍生工具的結構性產品。其最大回報是具上限的，但其潛在損失可能很重大。當相關資產價格走向與你的預期相違，你或許損失部份或全部投資本金。

4. 價格調整

你需注意股票掛鈎產品的價格和回報在到期日時可能受到任何除息、定價或公司行動所影響並有所調整。

5. 流動性風險

你需明白股票掛鈎產品的買賣或並不活躍於二手市場，並存有流動性風險。即使該二手市場存在，其價格或可能低於發行或購買時之價格。

6. 潛在收益率受交易費用開支影響一般而言，股票掛鈎產品所提供的利息會高於定期存款及債券，其投資回報亦受限於潛在收益。你應留意股票掛鈎產品的買賣和交收都有相應交易收費。詳情請參閱收費表或直接咨詢你的經紀。所有關於潛在收益率的信息可能並未參考交易費用開支。

7. 附加產品特性和交易政策

你應需注意及閱讀有意投資的股票掛鈎產品的所有銷售文件，以了解股票掛鈎產品的附加產品特性及風險（如有）。交易守則可能明定以特定的方式結算股票掛鈎產品，例如以現金交付或實物交割。附加產品特性可能包括但不限於提前贖回、執行特點、日計應得利息。相關政策和產品特性可能以不同方式影響股票掛鈎產品的投資回報。猶為重要的是，你應在決定投資前閱讀所有相關銷售文件，以充分了解股票掛鈎產品的政策、產品特性和特定風險。

債券交易的風險

1. 違約風險

違約風險指債券發行商未能按合約繳付利息或本金予債券持有人。投資者須特別留意債券發行商的信貸評級。評級較低的債券發行商或更有可能違約，而相關投資者可能會損失大部份或全部本金。

2. 利率風險

這是投資債券的主要風險。固定利率債券的價格會在利率下降時上升。在購買債券後，債券的價格會因應利率的上升而下降。

3. 外滙風險

投資者若投資以外幣計價的債券需面對外匯風險。外幣兌換率的波動或對基礎資產的價值及相關投資的價格造成負面影響。

4. 流動性風險

倘若須於債券到期前出售該債券，你須明白該債券的買賣或並不活躍於二手市場。債券發行商若違約或終止履行責任，客戶作爲投資者可能無法買或賣相關債券。

5. 股票風險

如債券屬可換股債券，可能存在股票風險，並對價格及投資回報造成負面影響。

Appendix 1 RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS

RISK OF SECURITIES TRADING

The prices of securities fluctuate, sometimes dramatically. The price of a security may move up or down, and may become valueless. It is as likely that losses will be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities.

RISK OF TRADING GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET STOCKS

Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) stocks involve a high investment risk. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. GEM stocks may be very volatile and illiquid. You should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors. Current information on GEM stocks may only be found on the internet website operated by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. GEM Companies are usually not required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers.

You should seek independent professional advice if you are uncertain of or have not understood any aspect of this risk disclosure statement or the nature and risks involved in trading of GEM stocks.

RISK OF TRADING SECURITIES DENOMINATED IN RENMINBI (RMB)

RMB securities are subject to exchange rate fluctuations that may provide both opportunities and risks. The fluctuation in the exchange rate of RMB may result in losses in the event that you convert RMB into Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) or other foreign currencies. RMB is not fully and freely convertible and conversion of RMB through banks is subject to a daily limit and other limitations as applicable from time to time. You should take note of the limitations and changes thereof as applicable from time to time and allow sufficient time for exchange of RMB from/to another currency if the RMB amount exceeds the daily limit. Any RMB conversion in relation to a RMB securities transaction will be based on an exchange rate determined by the Company as a principal according to the prevailing exchange rate.

RISK OF TRADING OVERSEAS ISSUERS’SECURITIES

Overseas issuer is subject to a different set of governing laws.

The tax consequences derived from trading in overseas issuers’ securities which are listed in Hong Kong might vary from that of Hong Kong issuers’ securities owing to the differences in the tax regime (e.g. transactions tax, dividends tax, capital gains tax, etc.). You should consult your own tax advisors as to the applicable tax consequences of purchasing, holding, disposing of or dealing in overseas issuers’ securities based on your particular circumstances in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

RISK OF EXERCISING AND TRADING RIGHTS ISSUE

For exercising and trading of the rights issue, investors have to pay attention to the deadline and other timelines. Rights issues that are not exercised will have no value upon expiry. If investors decide not to exercise the rights and sell the rights in the market, the rights must be sold during the specified trading period within the subscription period, after which they will become worthless. If investors pass up the rights, the shareholding in the expanded capital of the company will be diluted.

RISK OF TRADING EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS (ETFs)

1. Market risk

ETFs are typically designed to track the performance of certain indices, market sectors, or groups of assets such as stocks, bonds, or commodities. ETF managers may use different strategies to achieve this goal, but in general they do not have the discretion to take defensive positions in declining markets. Investors must be prepared to bear the risk of loss and volatility associated with the underlying index/assets. 2. Tracking errors

Tracking errors refer to the disparity in performance between an ETF and its underlying index/assets. Tracking errors can arise due to factors such as the impact of transaction fees and expenses incurred to the ETF, changes in composition of the underlying index/assets, and the ETF manager’s replication strategy. (The common replication strategies include full replication/representative sampling and synthetic replication which are discussed in more detail below.)

3. Trading at discount or premium

An ETF may be traded at a discount or premium to its Net Asset Value (NAV). This price discrepancy is caused by supply and demand factors, and may be particularly likely to emerge during periods of high market volatility and uncertainty. This phenomenon may also be observed for ETFs tracking specific markets or sectors that are subject to direct investment restrictions.

4. Foreign exchange risk

Investors trading ETFs with underlying assets not denominated in Hong Kong dollars are also exposed to exchange rate risk. Currency rate fluctuations can adversely affect the underlying asset value, also affecting the ETF price.

5. Liquidity risk

Securities Market Makers (SMMs) are Exchange Participants that provide liquidity to facilitate trading in ETFs. Although most ETFs are supported by one or more SMMs, there is no assurance that active trading will be maintained. In the event that the SMMs default or cease to fulfill their role, investors may not be able to buy or sell the product.

6. Counterparty risk involved in ETFs with different replication strategies (a) Full replication and representative sampling strategies

An ETF using a full replication strategy generally aims to invest in all constituent stocks/assets in the same weightings as its benchmark. ETFs adopting a representative sampling strategy will invest in some, but not all of the relevant constituent stocks/assets. For ETFs that invest directly in the underlying assets rather than through synthetic instruments issued by third parties, counterparty risk tends to be less of concern.

(b) Synthetic replication strategies

ETFs utilising a synthetic replication strategy use swaps or other derivative instruments to gain exposure to a benchmark. Currently, synthetic replication ETFs can be further categorized into two forms:

i. Swap-based ETFs

Total return swaps allow ETF managers to replicate the benchmark performance of ETFs without purchasing the underlying assets. Swap-based ETFs are exposed to counterparty risk of the swap dealers and may suffer losses if such dealers default or fail to honor their contractual commitments.

ii. Derivative embedded ETFs

ETF managers may also use other derivative instruments to synthetically replicate the economic benefit of the relevant benchmark. The derivative instruments may be issued by one or multiple issuers. Derivative embedded ETFs are subject to counterparty risk of the derivative instruments’ issuers and may suffer losses if such issuers default or fail to honour their

contractual commitments.

Even where collateral is obtained by an ETF, it is subject to the collateral provider fulfilling its obligations. There is a further risk that when the right against the collateral is exercised, the market value of the collateral could be substantially less than the amount secured resulting in significant loss to the ETF.

RISK OF COLLECTIVE INVESTMENT SCHEMES

Collective Investment Scheme may invest extensively (up to 100%) in financial derivative instruments, fixed income securities and/or structured products (including, but not limited to credit default swaps, sub-investment grade debt, mortgage-backed securities and other asset-backed securities) and be subject to various risks (including but not limited to counterparty risk, liquidity risk, credit risk and market risk). Collective Investment Scheme may uses trading strategies that use financial derivative instruments which may be unsuccessful due to a number of reasons; including, but not limited to volatile market conditions, imperfect correlation between the movements in securities on which derivatives are based, lack of liquidity within markets and counterparty default risk.

RISK OF TRADING STRUCTURED PRODUCTS

Compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the listing rules) and the propose of giving information with regard to us and derivative warrants (warrants), callable contracts (contracts) and other structured products (the warrants, contracts and such other structured products are collectively structured products) to be listed on the stock exchange.

The issuer of the structured products may sometimes be the only person quoting prices on the relevant exchange. The prices of the structured products may fall in value as rapidly as they may rise and investors may sustain a total loss of your investment.

Structured products are subject to a number of risks which may include but not limited to the following: 1. Issuer default risk

In the event that a structured product issuer becomes insolvent and defaults on their listed securities, investors will be considered as unsecured creditors and will have no preferential claims to any assets held by the issuer. Investors should therefore pay close attention to the financial strength and creditworthiness of structured product issuers.

2. Uncollateralised product risk

Uncollateralised structured products are not asset backed. In the event of issuer bankruptcy, investors can lose their entire investment. Investors should read the listing documents to determine if a product is uncollateralised.

3. Gearing risk

Structured products such as derivative warrants and callable bull/bear contracts (CBBCs) are leveraged and can change in value rapidly according to the gearing ratio relative to the underlying assets. Investors should be aware that the value of a structured product may fall to zero resulting in a total loss of the initial investment.

4. Expiry considerations

Structured products have an expiry date after which the issue may become worthless. Investors should be aware of the expiry time horizon and choose a product with an appropriate lifespan for their trading strategy. At expiry, if the cash settlement amount is zero or negative, investors will lose the value of your investment.

5. Extraordinary price movements

The price of a structured product may not match its theoretical price due to outside influences such as market supply and demand factors. As a result, actual traded prices can be higher or lower than the theoretical price.

6. Foreign exchange risk

Investors trading structured products with underlying assets not denominated in Hong Kong dollars are also exposed to exchange rate risk. Currency rate fluctuations can adversely affect the underlying asset value, also affecting the structured product price.

7. Liquidity risk

The Exchange requires all structured product issuers to appoint a liquidity provider for each individual issue. The role of liquidity providers is to provide two way quotes to facilitate trading of their products. In the event that a liquidity provider defaults or ceases to fulfill its role, investors may not be able to buy or sell the product until a new liquidity provider has been assigned.

Investors should therefore ensure that they understand the nature of the structured products and carefully study the risk factors set out in this base listing document and the relevant supplemental listing document in respect of any issue of structured products before they invest in any structured products and, where necessary, seek professional advice, before they invest in the structured products.

Investors need to understand better how products will operate in extreme market conditions or in the face of bankruptcy, structured products constitutes general unsecured contractual obligations.

ADDITIONAL RISKS OF TRADING CALLABLE BULL/BEAR CONTRACTS (CBBCs)

1. Mandatory call risk

Investors trading CBBCs should be aware of their intraday “knockout” or mandatory call feature. A CBBC will cease trading when the underlying asset value equals the mandatory call price/level as stated in the listing documents. Investors will only been titled to the residual value of the terminated CBBC as calculated by the product issuer in accordance with the listing documents. Investors should also note that the residual value can be zero.

2. Funding costs

The issue price of a CBBC includes funding costs. Funding costs are gradually reduced over time as the CBBC moves towards expiry. The longer the duration of the CBBC, the higher the total funding costs. In the event that a CBBC is called, investors will lose the funding costs for the entire lifespan of the CBBC. The formula for calculating the funding costs are stated in the listing documents.

ADDITIONAL RISKS OF TRADING DERIVATIVE WARRANTS

1. Time decay risk

All things being equal, the value of a derivative warrant will decay over time as it approaches its expiry date. Derivative warrants should therefore not be viewed as long term investments.

2. Volatility risk

Prices of derivative warrants can increase or decrease in line with the implied volatility of underlying asset price. Investors should be aware of the underlying asset volatility.

RISK OF OVER-THE-COUNTER TRANSACTION

1. You should only undertake Over-The-Counter ("OTC") trading if you understand the nature of such trading and such trading facilities and the extent of your exposure to risks. If in doubt, you should seek independent professional advice.

2. OTC transactions are subject to risk, including counterparty risk, risk that the particular securities fails to subsequently be listed on the Exchange, lower liquidity and higher volatility. Settlement of the relevant transactions is not guaranteed and you will be responsible for any losses or expenses resulting from your and/or your counterparty's settlement failures.

3. The prices of Securities traded on OTC market may differ significantly from their opening or traded prices transacted during the regular market hours upon the listing of the Securities on the Exchange. The prices displayed on the OTC market may not reflect the prices in other concurrently operating automated trading systems dealing in the same Securities.

4. In particular, the OTC market is not regulated by the Exchange and the relevant transaction will not be covered by the Investor Compensation Fund until it is properly recorded on the trading system of the Exchange upon the listing of the Securities on the Exchange.

RISK OF TRADING US EXCHANGE-LISTEDOROVER-THE-COUNTER (OTC) SECURITIES OR DERIVATIVES

You should understand the US rules applicable to trades in security or security-like instrument in markets governed by US law before undertaking any such trading. US law could apply to trading in US markets irrespective of the law applicable in your home jurisdiction.

Many (but by no means all) stocks, bonds and options are listed and traded on US stock exchanges. NASDAQ, which used to be an OTC market among dealers, has now also become a US exchange. For exchange-listed stocks, bonds and options, each exchange promulgates rules that supplement the rules of the US Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the protection of individuals and institutions trading in the securities listed on the exchange.

OTC trading among dealers can continue in exchange-listed instruments and in instruments that are not exchange-listed at all. For securities that are not listed on any exchange, trading can continue through the OTC bulletin board or through the inter-dealer “pink sheets” that carry representative (not actual) dealer quotes. These facilities are outside of NASDAQ.

Options on securities are subject to SEC rules and the rules of any securities exchange on which the options are listed. Options on futures contracts on commodities like wheat or gold are governed by rules of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). There are also commercial options, like options on real estate, that are governed neither by SEC nor CFTC rules.

Whether you are intending to trade in US exchange-listed securities, OTC securities or derivatives, you should understand the particular rules that govern the market in which you are intending trade. An investment in any of these instruments tends to increase the risk and the nature of markets in derivatives tends to increase the risk even further.

Market makers of OTC bulletin board are unable to use electronic means to interact with other dealers to execute trades. They must manually interact with the market, i.e. use standard phone lines to communicate with other dealers to execute trades. This may cause delays in the time it takes to interact with the market place. This, if coupled with increase in trade volume, may lead to wide price fluctuation in OTC bulletin board securities as well as lengthy delays in execution time. You should exercise extreme caution when placing market orders and fully understand the risks associated with trading in OTC bulletin board.

Market data such as quotes, volume and market size may or may not be as up-to-date as expected with NASDAQ or listed securities.

As there may be far fewer market makers participating in OTC securities markets, the liquidity in that security may be significantly less than those in listed markets. As such, you may receive a partial execution or the order may not be executed at all. Additionally, the price received on a market order may be significantly different from the price quoted at the time of order entry. When fewer shares of a given security are being traded, larger spreads between bid and ask prices and volatile swings in price may result. In some cases, the liquidation of a position in an OTC security may not be possible within a reasonable period of time.

Issuers of OTC securities have no duty to provide any information to investors, maintain registration with the SEC or provide regular reports to investors.

RISK OF TRADING NASDAQ-AMEX SECURITIES AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED

The securities under the Nasdaq-Amex Pilot Program (“PP”) are aimed at sophisticated investors. You should consult the licensed or registered person and become familiarised with the PP before trading in the PP securities. You should be aware that the PP securities are not regulated as a primary or secondary listing on the Main Board or the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

RISKS OF CLIENT ASSETS RECEIVED OR HELD OUTSIDE HONG KONG

Client assets received or held by the licensed or registered person outside Hong Kong are subject to the applicable laws and regulations of the relevant overseas jurisdiction which may be different from the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap.571) and the rules made thereunder. Consequently, such client assets may not enjoy the same protection as that conferred on client assets received or held in Hong Kong.

RISK OF TRADING OF FOREIGN SECURITIES, INCLUDING B SHARES LISTED IN THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

You should only undertake trading of foreign securities if you understand the nature of foreign securities trading and the extent of your exposure to risks. In particular, foreign securities trading is not regulated by the SEHK and will not be covered by the Investor Compensation Fund despite the fact that Sorrento Securities Limited is an exchange participant of the SEHK. You should carefully consider whether such trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, risk profile and other relevant circumstances and seek independent professional advice if you are in doubt.

RISK OF TRADING EXCHANGE TRADED NOTES (ETNs)

ETN is a type of unsecured, unsubordinated debt security issued by an underwriting bank, designed to provide investors access to the returns of various market benchmarks. The returns of ETNs are usually linked to the performance of a market benchmark or strategy, minus applicable fees. Similar to other debt securities, ETNs have a maturity date and are backed only by the credit of the issuer.

You can buy and sell the ETNs on the exchange or receive a cash payment at the scheduled maturity or may early redeem the ETNs directly

with the issuer based on the performance of the underlying index less applicable fees, with redemption restrictions, such as the minimum number of ETNs for early redemption, may apply.

There is no guarantee that investors will receive at maturity or upon an earlier repurchase, investors’ initial investment back or any return on that investment. Significant adverse monthly performances for investors’ ETNs may not be offset by any beneficial monthly performances. The issuer of ETNs may have the right to redeem the ETNs at the repurchase value at any time. If at any time the repurchase value of the ETNs is zero, investors’ investment will expire worthless. ETNs may not be liquid and there is no guarantee that you will be able to liquidate your position whenever you wish.

Although both ETFs and ETNs are linked to the return of a benchmark index, ETNs as debt securities do not actually own any assets they are tracking, but just a promise from the issuer to pay investors the theoretical allocation of the return reflected in the benchmark index. It provides limited portfolio diversification with concentrated exposure to a specific index and the index components. In the event that the ETN issuer defaults, the potential maximum loss could be 100% of the investment amount and no return may be received, given ETN is considered as an unsecured debt instrument.

The value of the ETN may drop despite no change in the underlying index, instead due to a downgrade in the issuer’s credit rating. Therefore, by buying ETNs, investors get direct exposure to the credit risk of the issuer and would only have an unsecured bankruptcy claim if the issuer declares bankruptcy. The principal amount is subject to the periodic application of investor fee or any applicable fees that can adversely affect returns. Where you trade ETNs with underlying assets not denominated in local currencies are also exposed to exchange rate risk. Currency rate fluctuations can adversely affect the underlying asset value, also affecting the ETN price.

Investors may have leveraged exposure to the underlying index, depending on the product feature. The value of ETNs can change rapidly according to the gearing ratio relative to the underlying assets. You should be aware that the value of an ETN may fall to zero resulting in a total loss of the initial investment.

RISK OF TRADING EQUITY-LINKED NOTES (ELNs)

ELNs combine notes/deposits with options and its return component is based on the performance of the underlying asset. The maximum return is usually limited to a predetermined amount of cash. You may stand to lose all his investment capital if the price of the underlying asset moves substantially against his view. Most ELNs are not low risk products. You will be taking on the credit risk of the issuer and his investment return depends primarily on the future price movement of the underlying asset(s). ELNs are structured products involving derivatives. Their maximum return is capped but the potential loss can be significant. It is important that you read all the relevant offer documents to fully understand the features and risks of ELNs before deciding to invest.

RISK OF MARGIN TRADING

The risk of loss in financing a transaction by deposit of collateral is significant. You may sustain losses in excess of your cash and any other assets deposited as collateral with the licensed or registered person. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders. You may be called upon at short notice to make additional margin deposits or interest payments. If the required margin deposits or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, your collateral may be liquidated without your consent. Moreover, you will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest charged on your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether such a financing arrangement is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives.

RISK OF PROVIDING AN AUTHORITY TO REPLEDGE YOUR SECURITIES COLLATERAL ETC.

There is risk if you provide the licensed or registered person with an authority that allows it to apply your securities or securities collateral pursuant to a securities borrowing and lending agreement, repledge your securities collateral for financial accommodation or deposit your securities collateral as collateral for the discharge and satisfaction of its settlement obligations and liabilities. If your securities or securities collateral are received or held by the licensed or registered person in Hong Kong, the above arrangement is allowed only if you consent in writing. Moreover, unless you are a professional investor, your authority must specify the period for which it is current and be limited to not more than 12 months. If you are a professional investor, these restrictions do not apply. Additionally, your authority may be deemed to be renewed (i.e. without your written consent) if the licensed or registered person issues you a reminder at least 14 days prior to the expiry of the authority, and you do not object to such deemed renewal before the expiry date of your then existing authority.

You are not required by any law to sign these authorities. But an authority may be required by licensed or registered persons, for example, to facilitate margin lending to you or to allow your securities or securities collateral to be lent to or deposited as collateral with third parties. The licensed or registered person should explain to you the purposes for which one of these authorities is to be used.

If you sign one of these authorities and your securities or securities collateral are lent to or deposited with third parties, those third parties will have a lien or charge on your securities or securities collateral. Although the licensed or registered person is responsible to you for securities or securities collateral lent or deposited under your authority, a default by it could result in the loss of your securities or securities collateral. A cash account not involving securities borrowing and lending is available from most licensed or registered persons. If you do not require margin facilities or do not wish your securities or securities collateral to be lent or pledged, do not sign the above authorities and ask to open this type of cash account.

RISK OF PROVIDING AN AUTHORITY TO HOLD MAIL OR TO DIRECT MAIL TO THIRD PARTIES

If you provide the licensed or registered person with an authority to hold mail or to direct mail to third parties, it is important for you to promptly collect in person all contract notes and statements of your account and review them in detail to ensure that any anomalies or mistakes can be detected in a timely fashion.

RISK OF USING THE ELECTRONIC TRADING SERVICES

(a) If you undertake Transactions via Electronic Services, you will be exposed to risks associated with the Electronic Services system including the failure of hardware and software, and the result of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to your Instructions or is not executed at all;

(b) Due to unpredictable traffic congestion and other reasons, Electronic Services may not be reliable and Transactions conducted via Electronic Services may be subject to delays in transmission and receipt of your Instructions or other Information, delays in execution or execution of your Instructions at prices different from those prevailing at the time your

Instructions were given, transmission interruption or blackout. There are risks of misunderstanding or errors in communication, and that there is also usually not possible to cancel an Instruction after it has been given. The Company accepts no responsibility for any loss which may be incurred by the Client as a result of such interruptions or delays or access by third parties. You should not place any Instruction with

us via Electronic Services if you are not prepared to accept the risk of such interruptions or delays; and

(c) Market data and other information made available to the Client through our Electronic Service may be obtained by the Company from third parties. While the Company believes such market data or information to be reliable, neither the Company nor such third parties guarantees the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of any such market data or information.

RISK OF TRADING EQUITY LINKED INSTRUMENTS AND NOTES (ELIs/ELNs)

(a) Equity Market Risk

ELNs combine notes/deposits with options, and the return component is based on the performance of the underlying asset. You shall pay attention to fluctuations in the equity market and the underlying security price, impact of dividends and corporate actions.

(b) Counter Party Risk

Most ELNs are not low risk products. You will be taking on the credit risk of the issuer and his investment return depends primarily on the future price movement of the underlying assets. You may incur loss in whole or in part, and may receive underlying security or only part of their investment capital in return.

ELNs are structured products involving derivatives. Their maximum return is capped but the potential loss can be significant. The maximum return is usually limited to a predetermined amount of cash. However, when the price of underlying asset moves against your view, you may stand to lose part or all of your investment capital.

(d) Price adjustment

You should note that the price and return of XXXx at expiry may be affected and adjusted in accordance with any dividend payment with ex- dividend pricing or any corporate actions.

(e) Liquidity Risk

You should be aware that there may not always be a secondary market for the product which poses a liquidity risk. Even though it might exist, the price may be lower than that of the product’s issue or purchase price.

(f) Potential yield affected by fees and charges

Generally speaking, XXXx offer an interest rate higher than that of fixed deposits and bonds, and the return on investment is also capped at the potential yield of the ELIs.

You should note that you will be charged for fees and expenses for the buy/disposal of ELIs and payment / delivery at expiry. You should refer to statements for information of the fees and charges, or make direct enquiry with your broker. The information regarding potential yields may not have taken fees and charges into consideration.

(g) Additional Features and Trading policy

You should pay attention to read all the offer documents of the products which are intended to invest, to understand the trading policy or additional features if any. Trading policy may stipulate a particular method as to how the ELI will be settled, such as in cash payment or by physical delivery. Additional features may include but not limited to early call, knock-in and daily accrual coupon. The policy and features may affect the return of the ELIs in various ways.

It is important that you should read all the relevant offer documents to fully understand the policy, features, and specific risks of ELIs before your decision to of the investment.

Risk of Bond Trading (a) Default risk

This is a risk that bond issuer will be unable to pay bondholder the payment, contractual interest or principal as scheduled. You should pay attention to credit ratings of bond issuers. Lower rated bond issuers may be more likely to default and bondholder may lose the whole or most of their investment.

(b) Interest rate risk

It is the major risk associated with bond investments. The price of a fixed rate bond will fall when the interest rate rises. The bond price would fall below the purchase price should interest rate rise after the date of purchase.
