PROPOSED ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE BONDS UNDER GENERAL MANDATE

On 6 December 2024 (after trading hours), the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement with the Subscriber, pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to issue to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber has conditionally agreed to subscribe for, the Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$300 million.

  • 1 -

Upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price of HK$1.54 per Conversion Share, a maximum of 194,804,000 Conversion Shares will be allotted and issued by the Company, representing (i) approximately 19.05% of the existing total number of Shares in issue as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 16.00% of the total number of Shares in issue as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares (assuming there is no change in the total number of Shares in issue from the date of this announcement and up to the date of full conversion of the Convertible Bonds).

The Conversion Shares will be issued and allotted pursuant to the General Mandate.

The gross proceeds and the net proceeds (after deduction of relevant expenses) from the issue of the Convertible Bonds will be HK$300 million and approximately HK$299.2 million, respectively. The net issue price if the Conversion Shares are issued at the initial Conversion Price would be approximately HK$1.54 as per Conversion Share.

The intended use of the net proceeds from the Subscription would be (i) as to approximately HK$269.3 million or 90.01% for research and development of hypercars and EVs; and (ii) as to approximately HK$29.9 million or 9.99% for general working capital including salary payments, legal and professional fees and other general corporate purposes.

(ii) after all conditions precedent having been fulfilled, the Company fails to deliver the Convertible Bonds and certificate to the Subscriber on Closing pursuant to the provisions of the Subscription Agreement,

the Company shall be responsible for paying all costs and expenses (up to a maximum amount of HK$2,000,000) arising or incurred as a result of such termination.

REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The gross proceeds and the net proceeds (after deduction of relevant expenses) from the issue of the Convertible Bonds will be HK$300 million and approximately HK$299.2 million, respectively. The net issue price if the Conversion Shares are issued at the initial Conversion Price would be approximately HK$1.54 as per Conversion Share.

The intended use of the net proceeds from the Subscription would be (i) as to approximately HK$269.3 million or 90.01% for research and development of hypercars and EVs; and (ii) as to approximately HK$29.9 million or 19.99% for general working capital including salary payments, legal and professional fees and other general corporate purposes.

The Company is principally engaged in investment holding and the principal activities of its subsidiaries are (i) designing, developing, manufacturing and sales of high performance hypercars, and provision of mobility technology solutions (the "Mobility Technology Solutions Business"); (ii) retailing and wholesale of jewellery products, watches and other commodities; and (iii) money lending.

The hypercar market has been experiencing a global surge. The rising popularity of motorsports events has further bolstered the demand for high-performance hypercars. In order to capitalize on the market opportunities, the Group has been continuing to transform into and build up its position as a leading mobility services provider by unveiling to the market its next generation concepts and achievements in technology research and development. Hence, the Group remains steadfastly committed to investing in research and development of hypercars and EVs so as to amplify market excitement and consumer interest.

Upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds, the Subscriber will become the Shareholder and the Company will not be subject to redemption obligations under the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds. The Subscription will allow the Company to strengthen its capital base and enhance its financial position without further increasing its liability of finance costs.

  • 14 -

The Company considers that the non-executive Director nomination right upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds by the Subscriber does not conflict with the shareholders' right under the bye-laws of the Company, does not constitute a special right granted to the Subscriber and all Shareholders of the Company are treated fairly and equally. The Company shall strictly follow and comply with the corporate governance procedures and Listing Rules requirements to consider the candidate nominated by the Subscriber, and obtain relevant approval, including the nomination committee, remuneration committee, the Board and the Shareholders at the general meeting for the appointment of new non-executive Director.

Taking into consideration of the above and that (i) the Subscription offers a good opportunity to raise additional funds to strengthen the financial position and broaden the capital base of the Group so as to facilitate its future development; (ii) the Conversion Price represents a premium over the recent market price of the Shares; and (iii) the issue of Convertible Bonds will not have an immediate dilution effect on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders, the Directors consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement, which were arrived at arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber, and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including but not limited to the Conversion Price) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
