In addition, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the meeting is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The Board proposed to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every ten (10) issued and unissued Existing Shares will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share.
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions:
-
(i) the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the Share Consolidation by the Shareholders at the EGM;
-
(ii) the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under the laws of the Cayman Islands (where applicable) and the Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation; and
-
(iii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares.
Subject to the satisfaction of all the above conditions, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will become effective on the Effective Date, i.e. being the second Business Day immediately following the date of passing the ordinary resolution approving the Share Consolidation at the EGM.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions had been fulfilled.
Effects of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$200,000,000 divided into 8,000,000,000 Existing Shares with par value of HK$0.025 each.
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and assuming that there are no changes on the authorised share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date until the Effective Date, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$200,000,000 divided into 800,000,000 Consolidated Shares with par value of HK$0.25 each.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, 2,754,882,496 Existing Shares had been allotted and issued. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and assuming that no new Existing Shares are issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date until the Effective Date, 275,488,249 Consolidated Shares will be in issue.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Status of the Consolidated Shares
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other. Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the shareholdings, proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which Shareholders may be entitled.
Listing application
An application has been made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
Subject to the granting of listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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 on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS.
None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchanges other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time when the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.
Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares
Fractional Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, if any, will be disregarded and will not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Existing Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Arrangement on odd lot trading
In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares, the Company has appointed Suncorp Securities Limited as an agent to provide matching service, on a best effort basis, for the sale and purchase of odd lots of Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Mr. Fan Chi Yeung of Suncorp Securities Limited at Room 3616, 36/F., Cosco Tower, 183 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong at telephone number 3899 1899 during office hours. Shareholders should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Please refer to the section headed ‘‘EXPECTED TIMETABLE’’ on pages 3 and 4 of this circular for the period during which the Company will provide matching service for the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares.
Exchange of share certificates
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be on Tuesday, 14 July 2020, being the second Business Day immediately after the date of the EGM, the Shareholders may during the period from Tuesday, 14 July 2020 to Wednesday, 19 August 2020 (both days inclusive) submit existing share certificates for the Existing Shares (in the colour of yellow) to the Company’s share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre,183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, to exchange for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares (in the colour of purple) 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 other amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) by the Shareholders for each share certificate for the Existing Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares, whichever the number of certificates cancelled/issued is higher.
After Wednesday, 19 August 2020, share certificates for the Existing Shares will remain effective as documents of title and may be exchanged for share certificates for the Consolidated Shares at any time but will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are outstanding Share Options for subscription of an aggregate of 220,000,000 Shares under the Share Option Scheme. The Share Consolidation may lead to adjustments to the exercise price and/or the number of Consolidated Shares falling to be issued upon exercise of the outstanding Share Options pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Option Scheme and the Listing Rules. The Company will make further announcement(s) on such adjustments as and when appropriate.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Save for the aforesaid, the Company has no outstanding convertible securities, options or warrants in issue which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Existing Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.
CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in the board lot size of 20,000 Existing Shares. The Board proposes to change the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange from 20,000 Existing Shares to 10,000 Consolidated Shares conditional upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
Based on the closing price of HK$0.026 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.26 per Consolidated Share) as at Latest Practicable Date, (i) the value of each existing board lot of Existing Shares is HK$520; and (ii) the value of each board lot of 10,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,600 assuming the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size becoming effective.
The Change in Board Lot Size will not result in change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND THE CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
According to Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of the issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the Stock Exchange reserves the right to require the issuer either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities. According to the ‘‘Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions’’ issued by the Stock Exchange on 28 November 2008 and updated on 30 August 2019, (i) market price of the securities of an issuer at a level less than HK$0.10 will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 13.64 of the 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 (the ‘‘Trading Requirements’’).
In view that the Shares had been traded at below HK$0.10 during the past 12 months and the value per board lot being less than HK$2,000, the Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation. The Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares and reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue, with a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares. As such, it would (i) enable the Company to comply with the Trading Requirements; and (ii) 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.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Board also proposes to change the board lot size for trading from 20,000 Existing Shares to 10,000 Consolidated Shares. The Board considers that the Change in Board Lot Size will mitigate the effect of the odd lots caused by the Share Consolidation.
It is expected that the Share Consolidation and Change in Board Lot Size will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price per Consolidated Share on the Stock Exchange as mentioned above and will increase the value of each board lot of the Consolidated Shares to more than HK$2,000 and theoretical closing price per Consolidated Share will be higher than HK$0.10, so that the Trading Requirements are satisfied. With a higher trading price of the Consolidated Shares will enhance the Company’s corporate image and reduce the transaction and handling costs as a proportion of the market value of each board lot, the Board believes that it will make investing in the Shares more attractive to a broader range of investors, in particular to institutional investors whose house rules might otherwise prohibit or restrict trading in securities that are priced below a prescribed floor, and thus further broaden the shareholder base of the Company.
In view of the above reasons, the Company considers the Share Consolidation and Change in Board Lot Size can satisfy the Trading Requirements and will not have any adverse effect on the financial position of the Group nor result in change in the relative rights of the Shareholders, and are hence justifiable notwithstanding of the potential costs and impact arising from creation of odd lots to Shareholders. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation and Change in Board Lot Size is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there is no understanding, agreement or arrangement for any such fund raising activity nor is there any plan or conclusion for the format of any such corporate actions or arrangements for such fund raising.
EGM
The notice of the EGM is set out on pages 12 to 13 of this circular.
Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes of the Shareholders at the general meetings must be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. Therefore, the chairman of the meeting will demand a poll on the resolution regarding the Share Consolidation at the EGM. An announcement will be made by the Company on the poll results of the EGM.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting on the resolution to be proposed at the EGM.
