CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the 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.

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.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE EGM

In view of the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the EGM:

  • (1) Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendees at the entrance of the EGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the EGM venue and be asked to leave the EGM venue to the extent permitted by the law.

  • (2) Shareholders that (a) have travelled, and have been in close contact with any person who has travelled, outside of Hong Kong at any time in the preceding fourteen (14) days; (b) are, and have been, in close contact with any person who is, subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed compulsory quarantine (including home quarantine); (c) are, and have been, in close contact with anyone who has contracted COVID-19, has been tested preliminarily positive of COVID-19 or is suspected of contracting COVID-19; or (d) have any flu-like symptoms, may be denied entry into the EGM venue and be asked to leave the EGM venue to the extent permitted by the law.

  • (3) All Shareholders, proxies and other attendees are required to wear surgical face masks inside the EGM venue at all times. Any person who does not comply with this requirement may be denied entry into the EGM venue and be asked to leave the EGM venue to the extent permitted by the law. A safe distance between seats is also recommended.

  • (4) No distribution of corporate gift or refreshment will be provided at the EGM.

To the extent permitted under the law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the EGM venue or require any person to leave the EGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the EGM.

In the interest of all Shareholders’ health and safety and consistent with recent COVID-19 guidelines for prevention and control, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the EGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative to attending the EGM in person, Shareholders are encouraged to consider appointing the chairman of the EGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution at the EGM by submitting proxy forms with voting instructions inserted.

The proxy form can be downloaded from the Company’s website at www.cbk.com.hk and the website of the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk. If you are not a registered Shareholder (if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or HKSCC), you should consult directly with your banks or brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

Dear Sir or Madam,

(2) PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION OF ISSUED SHARES, SHARE PREMIUM REDUCTION AND

SUB-DIVISION OF UNISSUED SHARES; AND

(3) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 8 June 2022 in relation to, among other things, the Share Consolidation, the Change in Board Lot Size, the Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Share Sub-division.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further details of, among other things, (i) the Share Consolidation; (ii) the Change in Board Lot Size; (iii) the Capital Reduction; (iv) the Share Premium Reduction; (v) the Share Sub-division; and (vi) a notice convening the EGM.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every thirty (30) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of HK$0.30 each.

Immediately after the Share Consolidation, the total number of Consolidated Shares in the issued share capital of the Company will be rounded down to the nearest whole number by cancelling any fraction of a Consolidated Share in the issued share capital of the Company arising from the Share Consolidation.

Effects of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$100,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each, of which 466,547,995 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Immediately upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective but prior to the Capital Reduction and the Share Sub-division becoming effective, and assuming that no further Existing Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date up to the effective date of the Share Consolidation, the authorised share capital of the Company shall become HK$100,000,000 divided into 333,333,333. Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.30 each, of which 15,551,599 Consolidated Shares will have been issued and will be fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles. The Share Consolidation will not result in any change in the rights of the Shareholders. Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation thereof will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares which may arise.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions being fulfilled:

  • (a) the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the Share Consolidation by the Shareholders at the EGM;

  • (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and

  • (c) the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under the GEM Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation.

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Share Consolidation, the effective date of the Share Consolidation is expected to be Wednesday, 20 July 2022, being one clear Business Day immediately after the date of the EGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions have been fulfilled.

Application for listing of the Consolidated Shares

An application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the 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 dealing 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 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. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC. Shareholders should seek advice from their stockbroker or other professional adviser for details of those settlement arrangements and how such arrangements will affect their rights and interests.

None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Share Consolidation becomes 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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.

Odd lots arrangement and matching services

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares, the Company has appointed an agent to provide matching services, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares.

Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Dealing Department of Grand China Securities Limited at 503, 5/F, Loke Yew Building, 50-52 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong (telephone number: 3979 6718) from 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 3 August 2022 to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 23 August 2022.

Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders who are in any doubt about the odd lots matching arrangement are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

Exchange of share certificates for the Consolidated Shares

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, Shareholders may, on or after Wednesday, 20 July 2022 until Thursday, 25 August 2022 (both days inclusive) between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on any Business Day, submit the existing share certificates for the Existing Shares (in yellow colour) to the Registrar at Suites 3301-04, 33/F, Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates of the Consolidated Shares (in red colour).

Shareholders should note that after the prescribed time for free exchange of share certificates, a fee of HK$2.50 each (or such higher amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange) will be payable by the Shareholders to the Registrar 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 share certificates involved is higher.

After 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, 23 August 2022, trading will only be in Consolidated Shares which share certificates will be issued in red colour. Existing share certificates in yellow colour for the Existing Shares will cease to be valid for trading and settlement purpose, but will remain valid and effective as documents of title.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 11,628,000 outstanding share options (the ‘‘Granted Share Options’’) entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for up to an aggregate of 11,628,000 Existing Shares under the share option scheme adopted by the Company on 20 January 2017 (the ‘‘Share Option Scheme’’).

Subject to the approval by the Shareholders and becoming effective, the Share Consolidation will lead to the following adjustments to the exercise prices of the Granted Share Options and the number of Consolidated Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the Granted Share Options, such adjustment to be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Share Option Scheme and the requirement of the GEM Listing Rules.

The above adjustments in relation to the Granted Share Options will take effect simultaneously with the effective of the Share Consolidation, currently expected to take place on Wednesday, 20 July 2022. Save for the above adjustments, all other terms and conditions of the Granted Share Options remain unchanged.

Under the terms of the Share Option Scheme, the auditors of or independent financial adviser to the Company shall certify or confirm in writing (as the case may be) on the adjustments of the share options granted under the Share Option Scheme to the Board to be in their opinion fair and reasonable in compliance with the relevant provisions of the GEM Listing Rules, or any guideline or supplemental guideline issued by the Stock Exchange from time to time. The Company intends to obtain such certification and notify option holders on the adjustments, closer to the time of the effective date of the Share Consolidation.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

After the refreshment of the share option scheme limit under the Share Option Scheme on 27 May 2022, the Company is allowed to grant a maximum of 38,879,999 new share options under the Share Option Scheme to subscribe for a maximum of 38,879,999 new Shares. Subject to the approval by the Shareholders and the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the maximum number of Consolidated Shares which may fall to be issued pursuant to the exercise of any share options under the Share Option Scheme will be adjusted to 1,295,999 Consolidated Shares pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme.

Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no other outstanding derivatives, options, warrants or other securities in issue which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares, as the case may be.

Change in Board Lot Size

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Shares are traded in board lots of 12,000 Existing Shares. Conditional upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Board also proposes to change the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange from 12,000 Existing Shares to 2,000 Consolidated Shares.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.037 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$1.11 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each existing board lot of 12,000 Existing Shares is HK$444 and the theoretical value for each new board lot of 2,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,220.

PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION, SHARE PREMIUM REDUCTION AND SHARE SUB-DIVISION

The Board further proposes that immediately following the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Share Sub-division be implemented, pursuant to which:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION, CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE, CAPITAL REDUCTION, SHARE PREMIUM REDUCTION AND SHARE SUB-DIVISION

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. 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 1 October 2020 (the ‘‘Guide’’) has further stated that 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. It has also stated in the Guide that taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected board lot value should be greater than HK$2,000.

The Company had implemented the share consolidation (the ‘‘2021 Share Consolidation’’) of every ten existing shares into one consolidated share which become effective in 27 July 2021. However, the Existing Shares of the Company firstly traded below HK$0.10 on 12 October 2022 and then fluctuated between HK$0.104 to HK$0.260 during the period from 28 October 2021 to 18 January 2022. The Existing Shares have been trading below HK$0.10 and the value of each board lot has remained below HK$2,000 since 19 January 2022 (being approximately 5 months period prior to the Latest Practicable Date). The Board considers the existing share price of the Company to be close to the extremities and it is a sufficient, fair and representative period for considering whether to implement the Share Consolidation given the relatively lengthy period of time.

It is expected that the Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares and would bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange. Based on the closing price of HK$0.037 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$1.11 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each existing board lot of 12,000 Existing Shares is HK$444, which is less than HK$2,000, and the theoretical value for each new board lot of 2,000 Consolidated Shares would become HK$2,220 assuming the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size becoming effective.

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In determining the ratio for the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size, the Company had considered to (i) avoid the creation of the odd lots; (ii) maintain the trading amount for each board lot at a reasonable level; and (iii) reduce the frequency of share consolidation as the Company had implemented the 2021 Share Consolidation in July 2021 as mentioned above, however, the market price of the Existing Shares firstly traded below HK$0.10 on 12 October 2022 which approximately less than three months from the effective day of the 2021 Share Consolidation and the Existing Shares have been trading below HK$0.10 since 19 January 2022 which being approximately six months from the effective day of the 2021 Share Consolidation. The Company had considered other alternative ratios for the Share Consolidation and was of the view that (i) the ratios smaller than the 30:1 ratio (such as 20:1) would driver the expected value per new board lot of 2,000 Consolidated Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date to less than HK$2,000, and (ii) the ratios larger than the 30:1 ratio (such as 40:1) would create more odd lots under the new board lot of 2,000 Consolidated Shares.

By adopting the Share Consolidation of a ratio of 30:1 and the change of the board lot size from 12,000 Existing Shares to 2,000 Consolidated Shares, it would enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules and minimise the creation of odd lots. Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares, the Company has also appointed an agent to provide matching services, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares.

The Board further considers that the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size would increase the market price of the Consolidated Shares and the trading amount for each board lot at a reasonable level in order to attract more investors and extend the base of the Shareholders, and thus provide flexibility for the Company’s potential equity fundraisings and corporate actions in the coming 12 months as mentioned below.

In light of the above, the Board considered, notwithstanding the potential costs and negative impact arising from the creation of odd lots to the Shareholders, the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In addition, the Company is prohibited from issuing new shares at below their par value under the Companies Act. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the par value of the Existing Shares is HK$0.01 each. Immediately upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective but prior to the Capital Reduction and the Share Sub-division becoming effective, the par value of the Consolidated Shares will be HK$0.30 each.

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The proposed Capital Reduction and the Share Sub-division will enable the par value of the Consolidated Shares to be reduced from HK$0.30 to HK$0.01 each which will provide the Company with greater flexibility in possible fund raisings in the future. Further, the credit arising from the Capital Reduction and Share Premium Reduction will be applied towards offsetting the Accumulated Losses of the Company as at the effective date of the Capital Reduction, thereby reducing the accumulated losses of the Company, and the balance of any such credit remaining after offsetting the Accumulated Losses may be applied by the Company in any manner as permitted by all applicable laws and the Memorandum and Articles.

In view of the above, the Share Consolidation, the Change in Board Lot Size, the Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Share Sub-division, (i) will enable the Company to increase the market price as well as each board lot value of the Shares so as to comply with the requirements under the GEM Listing Rules and the Guide; (ii) 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, while (iii) will keep the par value of the Shares at HK$0.01 per New Share, which allows greater flexibility for the Company in the pricing for any issue of new Shares in the future. 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.

As such, the Board considers that the Share Consolidation, the Change in Board Lot Size, the Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Share Sub-division is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no intention to carry out any other corporate actions or arrangements which would have a contradictory effect to the Share Consolidation and may affect the trading in the Shares (including share consolidation, share subdivision and change in board lot size) in the coming 12 months. But in view that (i) the COVID-19 pandemic has yet to be ended and it is still possibility for the Hong Kong government to reimplement social distancing measures including restriction on dine-in service hours in catering premises which may restrict the Group’s restaurant operation; and (ii) the Group’s restaurant operations has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the measures taken by the Hong Kong government, the Company may consider to conduct fund raising exercises in the coming 12 months as and when necessary. The Company will make further announcement in this regard in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules as and when appropriate. However, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no concrete plan, agreement, arrangement, understanding, or negotiation with any parties for any fundraising activity.
