LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The Board proposes to implement the Capital Reorganisation, which comprises:

  • (a) The Capital Reduction, involving the reduction of the issued share capital of the Company by cancelling the paid-up capital to the extent of HK$0.499 on each of the issued Existing Shares such that the par value of each issued Existing Share will be reduced from HK$0.50 to HK$0.001;

  • (b) The Share Premium Reduction, involving the reduction of the entire amount standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account, simultaneously with the Capital Reduction becoming effective;

  • (c) The Share Sub-division, involving the sub-division of each of the authorised but unissued Existing Shares with par value of HK$0.50 each into 500 unissued New Shares with par value of HK$0.001 each, immediately after the Capital Reduction becoming effective; and

  • (d) the credits arising in the books of the Company from the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction be applied towards offsetting the Accumulated Losses as at the Effective Date and the balance of any such credit remaining after offsetting the Accumulated Losses be transferred to a distributable reserve account of the Company which may be applied by the Company in any manner as permitted under the applicable laws and the Memorandum and Articles.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effects of the Capital Reorganisation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$1,200,000,000 divided into 2,400,000,000 Shares of HK$0.50 each, of which 669,415,394 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that there is no other change in the share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the Effective Date, the effect of the Capital Reduction on the share capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

Immediately
after the Capital
As at the Latest Reduction becoming
Practicable Date effective
Amount of authorised share capital HK$1,200,000,000 HK$1,200,000,000
HK$0.50 per HK$0.001 per
Par value Existing Share New Share
2,400,000,000 1,200,000,000,000
Number of authorised shares Existing Shares New Shares
Amount of issued share capital HK$334,707,697 HK$669,415.394
669,415,394 669,415,394
Number of issued shares Existing Shares New Shares

The Capital Reduction on the 669,415,394 issued Existing Shares is expected to result in a reduction of the issued share capital of the Company by HK$334,038,281.606.

As part of the group reorganisation in preparation of the Company’s listing in 2006, the Company issued Shares to its founding shareholder (the ‘‘Consideration Shares’’) in exchange for the founding shareholder’s equity interests in the Group’s principal subsidiaries, namely, Tat Chun Printed Circuit Board Company Limited and Tat Chun PCB International Company Limited (formerly known as Pacific Leader Development Company Limited) (collectively, the ‘‘Relevant Subsidiaries’’). The Directors are of the view that the difference between the underlying net assets of the Relevant Subsidiaries and the nominal amount of the Consideration Shares, previously represented by a contributed surplus account of the Company carrying the balance in the amount of HK$145,058,000 as at 31 December 2021, is profits and distributable in nature, and that the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the Directors have resolved to apply the said contributed surplus account of the Company to offset the Accumulated Losses.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at 31 December 2021, the Share Premium Account and the Accumulated Losses amounted to HK$567,711,000 and HK$1,003,509,000, respectively. Following the offsetting of the amount of HK$145,058,000 standing to the credit of the contributed surplus account with the Accumulated Losses as explained above, and subject to the offsetting of the credits arising from the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction with the Accumulated Losses as at the Effective Date, it is expected the Company should have distributable reserves available to it after the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective. Shareholders and potential investors should note that the actual effects of the Capital Reorganisation will be subject to changes, including those resulted from the changes of share capital and other things affecting the equity of the Company before the Effective Date.

Other than the expenses to be incurred which are expected to be insignificant as compared to the amounts of reductions and offsetting in the Capital Reorganisation, the implementation of the Capital Reorganisation will not, of itself, alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests of the Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are outstanding share options (the ‘‘Share Options’’) entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for 4,558,930 Existing Shares under the share option scheme of the Company which was adopted on 5 June 2006 and expired on 4 June 2016 (the ‘‘Old Share Option Scheme’’). Under the terms and conditions of the Old Share Option Scheme, the Capital Reorganisation will not lead to any adjustments to the exercise price and the number of underlying Shares issuable upon the exercise of the outstanding Share Options. Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no other outstanding options, warrants or other securities in issue which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares.

Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation

The Capital Reorganisation is conditional on:

  • (1) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders approving the Capital Reorganisation at the EGM;

  • (2) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation;

  • (3) the approval of the Capital Reduction by the Court;

  • (4) the compliance with any conditions which the Court may impose in relation to the Capital Reduction;

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (5) the registration by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands of a copy of the order of the Court confirming the Capital Reduction and the minutes approved by the Court containing the particulars required under the Companies Act with respect to the Capital Reduction;

  • (6) the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules to effect the Capital Reorganisation; and

  • (7) the obtaining of all necessary approvals from the regulatory authorities or otherwise as may be required in respect of the Capital Reorganisation.

The Capital Reorganisation will become effective when the conditions above have been fulfilled. None of the conditions above can be waived by the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions have been fulfilled.

Subject to the passing of the special resolution by the Shareholders, the legal advisors to the Company (as to Cayman Islands law) will apply to the Court for hearing date(s) to confirm the Capital Reduction. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company as soon as practicable after the Court hearing date(s) is confirmed.

Listing and dealing of the New Shares

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

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, 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 dealing 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 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 New Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.

None of the share capital or debt securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange. At the time the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective, the New 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

REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The Company is not permitted, without order of the Court, to issue new Shares below their par value. Since the Shares have been trading below par value for a long time whether before or after the five-to-one share consolidation which took effect on 24 May 2022, the Board considers that the Capital Reorganisation will keep the par value of the New Shares at a low level of HK$0.001 per New Share, thereby giving greater flexibility to the Company in the pricing for any issue of new Shares in the future.

The credits arising from the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction will be applied towards offsetting the Accumulated Losses as at the Effective Date. Under the Companies Act, the share premium account is distributable to the Shareholders provided that immediately following the date on which any dividend is proposed to be distributed, the Company will be able to pay its debts as they fall due in the ordinary course of business. Pursuant to the Memorandum and Articles: (a) dividends may be declared and paid out of the profits of the Company, realised or unrealised, or from any reserve set aside from profits which the Directors determine is no longer needed; and (b) with the sanction of an ordinary resolution dividends may also be declared and paid out of share premium account or any other fund or account which can be authorised for this purpose in accordance with the Companies Act. It is expected that after the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective, the Company should have distributable reserves available to it. The Board therefore considers that the Capital Reorganisation 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.

In view of the above, the Board considers that the Capital Reorganisation is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Shareholders and potential investors should note that at this stage, there is no assurance that the Company will declare any dividends in the future, even if the Capital Reorganisation takes effect. Given that the Company has been loss-making for many years, the Company has no present plan to declare dividends until and unless the financial and cash positions are substantially improved. Due to the loss-making and net current liabilities position of the Company, the Company is constantly engaged in negotiations to explore the possibility of further equity fund raising to satisfy its funding needs, but no binding agreement has been reached. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company if any equity fund raising opportunities materialize as a result of which any disclosure obligation arises on the part of the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no plan or intention to carry out any future corporate actions in the next twelve months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Capital Reorganisation.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

Free exchange of share certificates

As the Court hearing date(s) has yet to be fixed, the Effective Date of the Capital Reorganisation is not ascertainable at present. Subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, Shareholders may submit the existing certificates for the Existing Shares to the Share 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 certificates of the New Shares within a certain period of free exchange after the Effective Date. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company as to the detailed arrangement of such free exchange of share certificates, when the Court hearing date(s) and the Effective Date can be ascertained.

All existing certificates of the Shares will continue to be evidence of title to such Shares and be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes.

Ranking of the New Shares

Each of the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other and will have rights and privileges and be subject to the restrictions contained in the Memorandum and Articles.

No change in the size of board lot

Upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the size of each board lot of the New Shares will remain the same as that of the Existing Shares, being 10,000 New Shares per board lot.

To ascertain shareholders’ eligibility to attend and vote at the EGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 27 September 2022 to Friday, 30 September 2022, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Shares will be effected.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Therefore the chairman of the meeting will demand a poll on the resolution regarding the Capital Reorganisation at the EGM. An announcement will be made by the Company on the poll results of the EGM.

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS RELATING TO COVID-19

The Company wishes to remind the Shareholders that attendance in person at the EGM is not necessary for the exercise of voting rights, as Shareholders may submit proxy forms and appoint the chairman of the EGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution at the EGM. Shareholders are recommended to read the instructions contained in the notice of the EGM carefully.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that the proposed resolution in relation to the Capital Reorganisation to be put forward at the EGM is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends all Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the EGM in relation to the Capital Reorganisation.
