LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION OF ISSUED SHARES AND SUB-DIVISION OF UNISSUED SHARES
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$1,000,000,0000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares, of which 1,168,246,794 Ordinary Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid are in issue. The Board proposes the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division to be implemented in the following manner:
-
i. the par value of each of the issued Ordinary Shares be reduced from HK$0.50 to HK$0.01 per issued Ordinary Share by cancelling the paid up share capital to the extent of HK$0.49 per issued Ordinary Share by way of a reduction of capital, so as to form issued New Ordinary Shares with par value of HK$0.01 each;
-
ii. the credit arising from the Capital Reduction be applied towards offsetting the accumulated loss of the Company as at the effective date of the Capital Reduction, thereby reducing the accumulated loss of the Company. The balance of credit (if any) will be transferred to a distributable reserve account of the Company and be applied for such purposes as permitted by all applicable laws and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and as the Board considers appropriate;
-
iii. immediately following the Capital Reduction, each of the then authorised but unissued Ordinary Shares with par value of HK$0.50 each be subdivided into 50 New Ordinary Shares with par value of HK$0.01 each; and
-
iv. each of the New Ordinary Shares arising from the Capital Reduction and Sub-division shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other and have rights and privileges and be subject to the restrictions contained in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date on which the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division become effective, the share capital structure of the Company will be as follows:
| Immediately | ||
|---|---|---|
| after the Capital | ||

| this circular | becoming effective | |
| Par value per Share | HK$0.50 | HK$0.01 |
| Amount of the authorised share capital | ||
| – Ordinary Shares | HK$1,000,000,000.00 | HK$1,000,000,000.00 |
| Number of authorised shares | ||

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 1,168,246,794 Ordinary Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that the par value of each of the 1,168,246,794 issued Ordinary Shares will be reduced from HK$0.50 to HK$0.01 per issued Ordinary Share by cancelling the paid up share capital to the extent of HK$0.49 per issued Ordinary Share by way of a reduction of capital, so as to form issued New Ordinary Shares with par value of HK$0.01 each, the Company’s existing issued share capital of HK$584,123,397.00 will be reduced by HK$572,440,929.06 to HK$11,682,467.94.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding share options, warrants or convertible bonds.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Reasons for and Effects of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division
The proposed Capital Reduction and Sub-division will enable the par value of the Shares to be reduced from HK$0.50 to HK$0.01 each. The credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be applied towards offsetting the accumulated loss of the Company as at the effective date of the Capital Reduction, thereby reducing the accumulated loss of the Company. The balance of credit (if any) will be transferred to the distributable reserve account of the Company which may be utilised by the Directors as a distributable reserve.
The Board is of the opinion that the proposed Capital Reduction will give greater flexibility to the Company to declare dividends and/or to undertake any corporate exercise which requires the use of distributable reserves in the future, subject to the Company’s performance and when the Board considers that it is appropriate to do so in the future. In addition, the Board considers that the Capital Reduction and Sub-division will enable the nominal or par value of the Shares to be reduced from HK$0.50 to HK$0.01 each, thus giving greater flexibility to the Company to issue new Shares in the future given that the Company is not permitted, without order of the Court, to issue new Shares below their nominal or par value. It is important for Shareholders to note that, at this stage, there can be no assurance that any dividends will be declared or paid in the future, or that the Company will issue New Ordinary Shares, even if the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division take effect. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no immediate plan for any equity fundraising however should there be any changes in this regard, the Company will make such announcement as required under the Listing Rules.
As such, the Directors are of the view that the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
Save for applying the credit arising from the Capital Reduction towards offsetting the accumulated loss of the Company and the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division, the Directors consider that the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division will have no effect on the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportional interests of the Shareholders in the Company.
According to the unaudited management accounts of the Company for the seven months ended 31 July 2018, the Company had accumulated losses of about HK$557,013,786.
