The net proceeds from the Share Subscription, after the deduction of related fees and expenses, are estimated to be approximately HK$59.0 million. The sum payable by the Subscriber under the Subscription Agreement in the amount of HK$40.0 million will be satisfied by the capitalisation and full settlement of the Shareholder’s Loan. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Share Subscription (i) as to approximately HK$49.0 million for potential merger and acquisition opportunities of companies engaged in the provision of information technology solutions and/or e- commerce related businesses which are in line with the Group’s existing business of provision of information technology consulting services in the PRC; and (ii) as to approximately HK$10.0 million for general corporate and working capital purposes.
In addition to the Subscription Shares, the Company has also agreed to allot and issue to Rainbow a total of 74,000 Remuneration Shares at the Subscription Price of HK$7.60 per Subscription Share at a total consideration of HK$562,400 to settle the professional fees charged by Rainbow in relation to the Share Subscription. The Company plans to utilise its existing general mandate for the allotment and issue of the Remuneration Shares.
As at the date of this announcement, ST Ma held 55% of the issued share capital of the Company and is therefore a connected person of the Company. The Share Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute a connected transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules.
The EGM will be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the Share Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the grant of the Specific Mandate to allot and issue the Subscription Shares to ST Ma.
ST Ma and its associate(s) shall abstain from voting on the relevant ordinary resolution at the EGM. Other than ST Ma and its associate(s), to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, no other Shareholder has a material interest in the Share Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and is required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution to approve the Share Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the EGM.
A circular containing, among other things, (i) further details of the Share Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (ii) a letter of recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders; (iii) a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders; (iv) a notice convening the EGM; and (v) other information required under the GEM Listing Rules, will be despatched to the Shareholders as soon as practicable in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SHARE SUBSCRIPTION
The Group is principally engaged in the provision of visual display solution services for concerts and events in Hong Kong, Macau and the PRC and the provision of information technology consulting services in the PRC.
The entering into of the Share Subscription Agreement will provide the Group with more financial flexibility and additional capital without finance cost to support the business development and operation of the Group as well as to settle the outstanding liabilities under the Shareholders’ Loan without utilising the existing resources of the Group. The financial performance of the Group has been affected by the COVID-19 outbreak in recent years. For the two years ended 31 May 2022, the Group recorded (i) revenue of approximately HK$12.3 million and HK$20.3 million; and (ii) loss attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$35.0 million and HK$24.2 million, respectively. As at 31 May 2022, the Group only had cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$0.8 million. Although the global epidemic control policies gradually relaxed, the uncertainty of the control policies might continue to impact the Group’s operations. The Share Subscription allows the Group to raise the required fund to sustain its existing business and cope with the impact of the pandemic.
Given the current scale of operation in term of revenue and financial performance of the Group as stated above, there is an imminent need for the Group to diversify its business and income stream. As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 May 2022, the Group has started to seek and successfully explored new business opportunities that can leverage on its existing video display equipment. The Group has commenced cooperation with Shenzhen Xinhang Information Technology Company Limited (‘‘Shenzhen Xinhang’’), a company equipped with the relevant metaverse technology which can be widely used for visual displays with visual effects to realise extended reality performances or events and virtual human performances, with the view to applying this technology to its existing video display business. On 28 July 2022, the Group entered into a capital injection agreement with the relevant vendors and Shenzhen Xinhang, pursuant to which the Group has conditionally agreed to make the capital injection of RMB34 million into Shenzhen Xinhang. Completion of the acquisition of Shenzhen Xinhang took place on 18 August 2022 and such capital injection was financed by the Shareholder’s Loan. The proceeds from the Share Subscription can also be used for the development of Shenzhen Xinhang and for other investment opportunities with growth potential related to visual display technology and other related information technology.
The Company has also considered alternative financing methods such as debt financings, rights issue and open offer. As at 31 May 2022, the Group had total banking facilities of HK$13 million, of which approximately HK$11.5 million were utilised. Taking into account the size of the fund raising and the
– 8 –
requirement of interest payments, the Company is of the view that further debt financings are not desirable for the Group. As regards a rights issue or open offer, the Company has considered such factors as (i) the price of a rights issue or open offer would normally involve a substantial discount to market, based on the discounts involved for recent rights issues and open offers of companies listed on the Stock Exchange; (ii) the likely costs involved (including the amount of underwriting commissions and other administrative and legal expenses); (iii) the lack of certainty in the successful implementation of a rights issue or open offer with their longer timetable; and (iv) the prevailing market conditions. On this basis, the Company considers that a rights issue or open offer is not an appropriate means of raising fund. Based on the above, the Directors (other than the independent non-executive Directors who will form their opinion after considering the advice from the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that raising funds by way of the Share Subscription shall enable the Group to obtain funds at a lower cost and an efficient way.
The Directors (other than the independent non-executive Directors who will form their opinion in respect of the Share Subscription Agreement and the Share Subscription after considering the advice from the Independent Financial Adviser) are of the view that the terms of the Share Subscription Agreement (including the Subscription Price) are on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The gross proceeds from the Share Subscription shall be approximately HK$60.0 million. The net proceeds from the Share Subscription, after the deduction of related fees and expenses, are estimated to be approximately HK$59.0 million.
The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Share Subscription (i) as to approximately HK$49.0 million for potential merger and acquisition opportunities of companies engaged in the provision of information technology solutions and/or e-commerce related businesses which are in line with the Group’s existing business of provision of information technology consulting services in the PRC; and (ii) as to approximately HK$10.0 million for general corporate and working capital purposes.
As at the date of this announcement, the Company was in discussion with (i) a target company engaged in e-commerce business; and (ii) Zhong Chan Tou (Shenzhen) Asset Disposal Co., Ltd.* (中產投(深圳) 資產處置有限公司) engaged in the distressed asset management business, details of which are set out in the announcement of the Company dated 30 November 2022, for potential merger and acquisition (the ‘‘Potential Acquisitions’’) and no definitive sale and purchase agreement has been signed by the parties. If the Potential Acquisitions materialise, the Company will comply with all applicable requirements of the GEM Listing Rules. As at the date of this announcement, save as the aforesaid, the Company has not identified any other target companies for potential acquisition.
EQUITY FUND RAISING OF THE COMPANY DURING THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS
The Company had not conducted any equity fundraising activity in the past twelve months immediately preceding the date of this announcement.
