Reference is made to the announcement issued by the Company dated 14 September 2017 (the “ Announcement ”) in relation to, among others, the status of public float of the Company, the grant of waiver from strict compliance with Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules and suspension of trading of shares of the Company (the “ Shares ”).

COMPLETION OF THE PLACING

On 16 October 2017, the Offeror entered into a placing agreement with Donghai International Securities (Hong Kong) Limited and Riches Depot Securities Co., Limited (the “ Placing Agents ”) for the placing of 76,988,000 Shares (the “ Placing Shares ”) held by the Offeror at the placing price of HK$1.60 per Placing Share on a best-effort basis to not less than six placees (the “ Placing ”). The Company has been informed by the Offeror that the Placing Shares, representing approximately 17.28% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement, had been placed through the Placing Agents to not less than six placees at the placing price of HK$1.60 per Placing Share. Completion of the Placing took place on 6 November 2017. None of the placees under the Placing has become a substantial Shareholder upon completion of the Placing.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, each of the placees and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of and not connected with the Company or any of its connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules).

RESTORATION OF PUBLIC FLOAT

Immediately upon completion of the Placing, a total of 111,413,500 Shares, representing approximately 25% of the total number of issued Shares, are held by the public. As such, the public float of the Company has been restored to at least 25% of the total number of issued Shares upon the completion of the Placing in compliance with Rule 8.08(1)(a) of the Listing Rules.
