The board (“ Board ”) of directors (“ Directors ”) of AAC Technologies Holdings Inc. (“ Company ”) announces that the board lot size of the shares of US$0.01 each in the capital of the Company (“ Shares ”) for trading on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“ Stock Exchange ”) will be changed from 2,000 Shares to 500 Shares with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Monday, 9 July 2012.
The change in board lot size will reduce the board lot value. The Directors are of the view that the reduction in board lot size may improve the liquidity of the Shares and broaden the Company’s shareholder base. The change in board lot size will not affect any of the relative rights of the shareholders of the Company. The Board is of the opinion that the change in board lot size is in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
As no odd board lot size of the Shares will be created as a result of the said change in board lot size (other than those already existed before such change becoming effective), no odd lot arrangement to
match the sales and purchase of odd lots will be made.
The expected timetable for such change in board lot size is set out below:
