Unless otherwise defined, terms and expressions used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the prospectus dated 31 October 2017 (the ‘‘Prospectus’’) issued by Bortex Global Limited (the ‘‘Company’’).
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Stock Exchange’’) and Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited (‘‘HKSCC’’) take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement.
This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an invitation or offer to acquire, purchase or subscribe for securities. Potential investors should read the Prospectus for detailed information about the Share Offer before deciding whether or not to invest in the Offer Shares thereby being offered.
This announcement is not for release, publication, distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States (including its territories and possessions, any state of the United States and the District of Columbia). This announcement does not constitute or form a part of any offer or solicitation to purchase or subscribe for securities of the Company in the United States. The Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act. The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to registration or an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. There will be no public offer and is not currently intended to be any public offer of securities in the United States.
In connection with the Share Offer, Ample Orient Capital Limited as stabilising manager (the ‘‘Stabilising Manager’’), its affiliates or any person acting for it, on behalf of the Underwriters, may effect transactions with a view to stabilising or supporting the market price of the Shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail for a limited period after the Listing Date. However, there is no obligation on the Stabilising Manager, its affiliates or any person acting for it, to conduct any such stabilising action. Such stabilising action, if taken, (i) will be conducted at the absolute discretion of the Stabilising Manager, its affiliates or any person acting for it, and in what the Stabilising Manager reasonably regards as the best interest of our Company, (ii) may be discontinued at any time and (iii) is required to be brought to an end within 30 days of the last day for lodging applications under the Public Offer. Such stabilisation action may only be commenced if the size of the Share Offer is HK$100 million or above. The stabilisation action, if commenced, may be effected in all jurisdictions where it is permissible to do so, in each case in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulatory requirements, including the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilizing) Rules, as amended, made under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Potential investors should be aware that stabilising action cannot be taken to support the price of the Shares for longer than the stabilisation period which begins on the Listing Date and is expected to expire on Sunday, 3 December 2017, being the 30th day after the last date for the lodging of applications under the Public Offer. After this date when no further stabilising action may be taken, demand for the Shares, and therefore the price of the Shares, could fall.

Application has been made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares in issue and to be issued pursuant to the Share Offer (including any Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Offer Size Adjustment Option or the Over-allotment Option and any Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of any options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme) as described in the Prospectus.
The Share Offer comprises the Placing and the Public Offer. A total of 200,000,000 Shares (subject to the Adjustment Options) will be made available under the Share Offer, of which 180,000,000 Shares (subject to reallocation and the Adjustment Options), representing 90% of the Offer Shares, will be conditionally placed under the Placing. The remaining 20,000,000 Shares (subject to reallocation), representing 10% of the Offer Shares, will be offered under the Public Offer. The allocation of the Offer Shares between the Placing and the Public Offer is subject to adjustment as described in the section headed ‘‘Structure and Conditions of the Share Offer’’ in the Prospectus.
In addition, the Company is expected to grant the Adjustment Options to the Sole Global Coordinator (for itself and on behalf of the Placing Underwriters) under the Placing Underwriting Agreement pursuant to which the Sole Global Coordinator may either exercise the Offer Size Adjustment Option prior to the Listing or exercise the Over-allotment Option from the Listing Date until the 30th day after the last day for lodging applications under the Public Offer, pursuant to any of which the Company is required to allot and issue up to 30,000,000 additional Shares at the Offer Price, representing 15% of the Offer Shares initially available under the Share Offer, on the same terms as those applicable to the Share Offer, solely to cover any excess demand in the Placing. The Company will disclose in its allotment results announcement whether and to what extent the Offer Size Adjustment Option has been exercised, and will confirm in the announcement that, if the Offer Size Adjustment Option is not exercised by then, the Offer Size Adjustment Option will lapse and cannot be exercised on any future date. The allotment results announcement will be published on the website of the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk and the Company’s website at www.bortex.com.cn. In the event that the Over-allotment Option is exercised, an announcement will be made by the Company on the website of the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk and the website of the Company’s website at www.bortex.com.cn.
The Offer Price will not be more than HK$0.5 per Offer Share and is expected to be not less than HK$0.3 per Offer Share unless otherwise announced. Applicants for Public Offer Shares under the Public Offer are required to pay in full, on application, the maximum Offer Price of HK$0.5 per Offer Share (plus brokerage of 1%, SFC transaction levy of 0.0027% and Stock Exchange trading fee of 0.005%) and subject to refund. If the Offer Price as finally determined is lower than the maximum Offer Price of HK$0.5 per Offer Share, appropriate refund payments (including the brokerage, SFC transaction levy and Stock Exchange trading fee attributable to the excess application monies) will be made to applicants, without interest.

The Offer Price is expected to be fixed by the Price Determination Agreement between the Company and the Sole Global Coordinator (for itself and on behalf of the Underwriters) on the Price Determination Date. The Price Determination Date is expected to be on or around Tuesday, 7 November 2017 or such later date as may be agreed by the Company and the Sole Global Coordinator (for itself and on behalf of the Underwriters). If, for any reason, the Offer Price is not agreed between the Company and the Sole Global Coordinator (for itself and on behalf of the Underwriters) on or before Monday, 13 November 2017, the Share Offer will not become unconditional and will lapse immediately. In such event, the Company will make an announcement as soon as possible on the website of the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk and the Company’s website at www.bortex.com.cn.
