CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and 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.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The Company proposes to effect a Capital Reorganisation which involves:

  • (i) the Share Consolidation of every four (4) Existing Shares of HK$0.04 each into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.16;

  • (ii) the reduction of the issued share capital of the Company through (a) elimination of any fraction of a Consolidated Share in the issued share capital of the Company arising from the Share Consolidation in order to round down the total number of Consolidated Shares to a whole number; and (b) a cancellation of the paid-up capital of the Company to the extent of HK$0.15 on each issued Consolidated Share so that the nominal value of each issued Consolidated Share will be reduced from HK$0.16 to HK$0.01;

  • (iii) the Subdivision of each authorised but unissued Consolidated Share of HK$0.16 each (which shall include the authorised but unissued share capital resulting from the Capital Reduction) into sixteen (16) New Shares of HK$0.01 each; and

  • (iv) a transfer of the credit arising from the Capital Reduction to a distributable reserve account of the Company.

Effects of the Capital Reorganisation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$200,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Existing Shares of HK$0.04 each, of which 3,421,538,679 Existing Shares have been allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective and assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$200,000,000 divided into 20,000,000,000 New Shares of HK$0.01 each while the issued share capital of the Company will become HK$8,553,846.69 divided into 855,384,669 New Shares of HK$0.01 each.

Fractional New Shares to which an individual Shareholder is entitled will not be issued to the individual Shareholders but will be aggregated, sold and retained for the benefit of the Company.

Other than the expenses incurred in relation to the Capital Reorganisation, the implementation thereof will not, in itself, alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Group or the proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders, save that any fractional New Shares will not be allocated to individual Shareholders but will be aggregated, and sold if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained, and such premium will be retained for the benefit of the Company. The Capital Reorganisation itself will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation

The Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon the following conditions being fulfilled:

  • (a) the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve, among others, the Capital Reorganisation consisting of the Share Consolidation, the Capital Reduction and the Subdivision;

  • (b) approval of the Capital Reduction by the Court;

  • (c) compliance with any conditions which the Court may impose in relation to the Capital Reduction;

  • (d) registration by the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands of a copy of the order of the Court confirming the Capital Reduction and the minutes approved by the Court containing the particulars required under the Companies Law with respect to the Capital Reduction;

  • (e) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation; and

  • (f) compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the Cayman Islands law and the GEM Listing Rules to effect the Capital Reorganisation.

The Capital Reorganisation will become effective when the conditions mentioned above are fulfilled. Upon the approval by the Shareholders of the Capital Reorganisation at the EGM, the special legal counsel to the Company as to Cayman Islands law will apply to the Court for hearing date(s) to confirm the Capital Reduction and a further announcement will be made by the Company as soon as practicable after the Court hearing date(s) is confirmed.

Listing Application

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation. The New Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu with each other in all respects, including the rights as to dividends, voting and return of capital.

CCASS eligibility

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange, the New Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the New Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS in the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Board lot size

The Existing Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in board lot of 20,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the New Shares will remain as 20,000 New Shares.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.041 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.164 per New Share) as at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each board lot of the Existing Shares is HK$820 and the theoretical market value of each board lot of the New Shares, assuming the Capital Reorganisation had become effective, would be HK$3,280.

Arrangement on odd lot trading

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots of the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation (if any), the Company has appointed Head & Shoulders Securities Limited as agent to provide matching service, on a best efforts basis, to those Shareholders who wish to top up or sell their holding of odd lots of the New Shares. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Mr. Andrew Chan of Head & Shoulders Securities Limited at Room 2511, 25/F, Cosco Tower, 183 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong or at telephone number (852) 3103 8312 from 9:00 a.m. on Friday, 10 May 2019 to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 31 May 2019. Holders of odd lots of the New Shares should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the New Shares is not guaranteed.

Free exchange of certificates for the New Shares and trading arrangements

Subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the Shareholders may, during the period between Thursday, 25 April 2019 and Tuesday, 4 June 2019 as specified in the section headed ‘‘Expected Timetable’’ below, submit their existing certificates in purple colour for the Existing Shares held by them to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, in exchange for new certificates for the New Shares in yellow colour at the expense of the Company. Thereafter, share certificates for the Existing Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) for each certificate for the New Shares issued or each share certificate for the Existing Shares submitted for cancellation, whichever the number of certificates involved is higher.

Certificates for the Existing Shares in purple colour will continue to be good evidence of legal title on the basis of every four (4) issued Existing Shares for one (1) New Share and may be exchanged for certificates of the New Shares at any time. Nevertheless, they will not be acceptable for trading, settlement and registration purpose after the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective except in a temporary counter after the commencement of dealings in the New Shares until parallel trading ends.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION

Pursuant to Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of an issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the issuer may be required either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities. In view of the recent trading price of the Existing Shares, the Directors consider that the Share Consolidation will enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules. The ‘‘Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions’’ issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated on 3 July 2018 has further stated that (i) market price of the Shares at a level less than HK$0.1 will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules; and (ii) taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.041 per Share as at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each board lot of 20,000 Existing Shares was HK$820. It is expected that the Share Consolidation would bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange. The Share Consolidation will reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Shares as a proportion of the market value of each board lot, since most of the banks/securities houses will charge a minimum transaction costs for each securities trade. The Board considers that the Share Consolidation would maintain the trading amount for each board lot at a reasonable level in order to attract more investors.

Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, a company may not issue shares at a discount to the nominal value of such shares. Immediately after completion of the Share Consolidation but before implementation of the Capital Reduction and Subdivision, the nominal value of the Consolidated Shares will be HK$0.16 per Consolidated Share. The Capital Reduction and the Subdivision will keep the nominal value of the New Shares at a lower level of HK$0.01 per New Share, which allows greater flexibility in the pricing for any issue of new Shares in the future. The credit in the distributable reserve account arising from the Capital Reduction will enable the Company to set off its accumulated loss and may be applied in future for distribution to the Shareholders or in any manner permitted by the laws of the Cayman Islands and the articles of association of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assuming no further Existing Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation, the effect of the Capital Reorganisation on the share capital structure of the Company is summarised below:

Immediately upon the
As at the Latest Practicable Capital Reorganisation
Date becoming effective
Nominal value per Share HK$0.04 per Existing Share HK$0.01 per New Share
(equivalent to HK$0.16 per
Consolidated Share)
Authorised share capital HK$200,000,000 divided into HK$200,000,000 divided into

of the Company Shares
Number of authorised 1,578,461,321 Existing 19,144,615,331 New Shares
but unissued Shares of Shares
the Company

Based on the 3,421,538,679 Existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming no further Existing Shares issued or repurchased prior to the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation, a credit amounting to approximately HK$128,307,700 will arise as a result of the Capital Reduction. It is proposed that the credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be credited to the distributable reserve account of the Company, which will be utilized by the Company in such manner as the Board may deem fit under the applicable laws and the articles of association of the Company.

The Board believes that the Capital Reorganisation will provide greater flexibility to the Company in pricing future equity fund raising exercise.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no current plan of equity fund raising exercise, and has not entered into and is not under any negotiation to enter into, any agreement to conduct equity fund raising exercise.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company has considered other alternatives and takes the view that the proposed corporate action (including the Capital Reorganisation) is the best available alternative to achieve the aforesaid benefits. Set out below is the comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the other different alternatives:

1. Simple change of board lot size without Capital Reorganisation

Advantages

  • No shareholders’ approval is needed and no general meeting is required to be held.

  • A relatively simple way to meet the requirement that the expected value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000.

Disadvantages

  • Shareholders have no flexibility to approve such corporate action.

  • The nominal value per Share remains unchanged.

  • The theoretical market price per Share remains unchanged.

  • Odd lots will be created.

  • Simple Share Consolidation without Capital Reduction

Advantages

Shareholders have the right to approve the corporate action.

  • A relatively simple way to meet the requirement that the expected value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000.

The theoretical market price per Share will increase.

Disadvantages

  • The nominal value per Share will increase.

  • Odd lots will be created.

3. Simple Capital Reduction without Share Consolidation

Advantages

  • Shareholders have the right to approve the corporate action.

  • The nominal value per Share will decrease and thus enhance the flexibility of future fund raising.

– 14 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • No odd lots will be created in the event that there will be no change of board lot size.

Disadvantages

  • The theoretical market price per Share will remain unchanged and thus may not meet Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules.

  • Odd lots will yet be created in the event that there will be change in board lot size in association with the corporate action.

  • Without any change of board lot size, the requirement that the expected value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000 cannot be met.

Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Capital Reorganisation is beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

EGM
