PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION AND PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the Announcement in which the Company announced that it proposed to implement the Capital Reorganisation involving the Share Consolidation, the Capital Reduction and the Share Sub-division. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the Capital Reorganisation and to give you notice of the SGM.
- For identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION
The Board proposes to implement the Capital Reorganisation which will involve the Share Consolidation, the Capital Reduction and the Share Sub-division, details of which are as follows:
(1) Share Consolidation:
Every 10 issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.05 each in the share capital of the Company will be consolidated into 1 Consolidated Share of par value of HK$0.50 and where applicable, the total number of Consolidated Shares in the issued share capital of the Company immediately following the Share Consolidation will be rounded down to a whole number by cancelling any fraction in the issued share capital of the Company which may arise from the Share Consolidation.
(2) Capital Reduction:
The Capital Reduction will be effected immediately upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, pursuant to which the par value of each of the then issued Consolidated Shares will be reduced from HK$0.50 to HK$0.01 by cancelling the paid-up capital of the Company to the extent of HK$0.49 on each of the then issued Consolidated Shares, the credits arising from (a) such reduction of the paid-up capital; and (b) the cancellation of any fractional Consolidated Share in the issued share capital of the Company which may arise from the Share Consolidation (if any) will be credited to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act.
(3) Share Sub-division:
Immediately following the Capital Reduction, each of the then authorised but unissued Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.50 each will be sub-divided into 50 New Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each.
Effects of the Capital Reorganisation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$500,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.05 each, of which 2,113,694,560 Existing Shares have been issued and fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date until the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$500,000,000 divided into 50,000,000,000 New Shares of par value
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
of HK$0.01 each, of which 211,369,456 New Shares will be in issue and the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company will be HK$2,113,694.56 upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective.
Based on the 2,113,694,560 Existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, a credit of approximately HK$103,571,033.44 will arise as a result of the Capital Reorganisation. It is proposed that the total credit arising from the Capital Reorganisation will be transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective. Such credits transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act, together with the amount already in the contributed surplus account, will be used by the Board in such manner as the Board may deem fit as may be permitted under the applicable laws.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the credits arising from the Capital Reorganisation will be subject to change depending on the number of the Existing Shares in issue immediately prior to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective.
Assuming no further Existing Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation, the effect of the Capital Reorganisation and the share capital structure of the Company is summarised below:
| Immediately upon | ||
|---|---|---|
| As at the Latest | the Capital Reorganisation | |
| Practicable Date | becoming effective | |
| Par value per Share | HK$0.05 per Existing Share | HK$0.01 per New Share |
| Authorised share capital | HK$500,000,000 divided | HK$500,000,000 divided |
| into 10,000,000,000 | into 50,000,000,000 | |
| Existing Shares | New Shares | |
| Number of Shares in issue | 2,113,694,560 | 211,369,456 |
| Existing Shares | New Shares | |
| Issued and fully paid-up or | HK$105,684,728.00 | HK$2,113,694.56 |
| credited as fully paid-up | ||
| share capital |

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Other than the relevant expenses, including but not limited to professional fees and printing charges incurred, the implementation of the Capital Reorganisation will have no effect on the consolidated net asset value of the Group, nor will it alter the underlying assets, business, operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests of the Shareholders, save that no fractional New Shares will be allocated to the Shareholders. The Board believes that the Capital Reorganisation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.
Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation
The Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon:
-
(1) the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the Shareholders to approve the Capital Reorganisation at the SGM;
-
(2) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation and the New Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon exercise of the share options to be granted under the share option scheme of the Company;
-
(3) the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the laws of Bermuda and the Listing Rules to effect the Capital Reorganisation; and
-
(4) the obtaining of all necessary approvals from the regulatory authorities or otherwise as may be required in respect of the Capital Reorganisation.
Assuming the above conditions are fulfilled on or before the date of the SGM, the Capital Reorganisation is expected to become effective on the next Business Day after the date of passing of the relevant resolution(s) approving the Capital Reorganisation at the SGM.
Fractional entitlement
Fractional Shares, if any, arising from the Share Consolidation will not be allocated to any individual Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Listing and dealings
Application has been made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation and the New Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the share options to be granted under the share option scheme of the Company.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange, the New 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 New 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.
The New Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu in all respects with each other as to all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid. All necessary arrangements will be made for the New Shares to be admitted into CCASS.
No part of the equity or debt securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange and no such listing or permission to deal in is being currently proposed to be sought from any other stock exchange.
Exchange of share certificates
Subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, Shareholders may, on or after Tuesday, 5 April 2016 until Thursday, 12 May 2016 (both days inclusive), submit share certificates of the Existing Shares (in white) to the Registrar at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates of the New Shares (in yellow) (on the basis of 10 Existing Shares for 1 New Share). Thereafter, share certificates of 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 of the Existing Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the New Shares, whichever the number of share certificates cancelled/issued is higher. After 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 12 May 2016, existing share certificates of the Existing Shares will only remain effective as documents of title and may be exchanged for share certificates of the New Shares at the expense of the Shareholders concerned at any time but will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION
Under Rule 13.64 of the 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. In view of the recent trading price of the Existing Shares, the Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation. The Capital Reorganisation, which includes the Share Consolidation, will also allow the value of each board lot to be increased to more than HK$2,000 and enable the Company to avoid non-compliance with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules. The Capital Reduction and the Share Sub-division will keep the par value of the Shares at a lower level that can facilitate the Company’s future fund raising activities as the Company will not be allowed to issue any Shares below its par value. The credit in the contributed surplus account within the meaning of the Companies Act arising from the Capital Reduction will enable the Company to set off its accumulated loss (if any) and may be applied in the future for distribution to the Shareholders or in any manner permitted by the laws of Bermuda and the bye-laws of the Company.
The Board believes that the Capital Reorganisation will provide greater flexibility to the Company in pricing future fund raising exercise. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Capital Reorganisation is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
At present, the Existing Shares are traded in board lots of 20,000. The Board also proposes to change the board lot size for trading in the Shares from 20,000 Existing Shares to 10,000 New Shares subject to and upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective. Based on the closing price of HK$0.060 per Existing Share on the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that the Capital Reorganisation has become effective, if the New Shares were continued to be traded in board lots of 20,000, the value of each board lot of New Shares would be HK$12,000. Had the Change in Board Lot Size became effective, the value of each board lot of New Shares would be HK$6,000. As a result, the Board considers that the Change in Board Lot Size will maintain the trading value for each board lot at a reasonable level to attract investors.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
ARRANGEMENT FOR MATCHING SERVICE FOR ODD LOTS
In order to alleviate the difficulties arising from the existence of odd lots of New Shares as a result of the Capital Reorganisation, the Company has appointed an agent to arrange for matching service on a best effort basis regarding the sale and purchase of odd lots of New Shares. Holders of odd lots of New Shares who wish to take advantage of this trading facility to dispose of or top up odd lots should contact Mr. Marco Ko of One China Securities Limited at 2/F., Cheong K Building, 86 Des Voeux Road C., Central, Hong Kong (telephone number: (852) 3188-2676 or fax number: (852) 3188-9984) during office hours in the period from Tuesday, 19 April 2016 to Tuesday, 10 May 2016 (both days inclusive). Shareholders should note that matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of New Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder who is in any doubt about the odd lot arrangement is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
WARNING
Shareholders should take note that the Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon satisfaction of conditions set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation”. Therefore, the Capital Reorganisation may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Existing Shares, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
GENERAL
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding options, warrants or other securities in issue which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into, any Shares or New Shares, as the case may be.
The SGM will be held at 5/F, Chung Tai Printing Group Building, 11 Yip Cheong Street, On Lok Tsuen, Fanling, New Territories, Hong Kong at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, 1 April 2016, the notice of which is set out on pages SGM-1 to SGM-3 of this circular, for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Capital Reorganisation.
Whether or not you are able to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time of the SGM or any adjournment thereof to the Registrar, Tricor Secretaries Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong.
