CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock 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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION OF ISSUED SHARES AND
SUB-DIVISION OF UNISSUED SHARE AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 2 January 2024 in respect of the proposed capital reduction of issued shares and sub-division of unissued shares. The purpose of this circular is to provide you among other things, details of (i) the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division and (ii) the notice of the EGM to be convened.
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION OF ISSUED SHARES AND SUB-DIVISION OF UNISSUED SHARES
As at the date of the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$500,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Ordinary Shares, of which 460,976,684 Ordinary Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. The Board proposes the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division to be implemented in the following manner:
-
(i) the par value of each of the issued Ordinary Shares be reduced from HK$0.50 to HK$0.001 per issued Ordinary Share by cancelling the paid up share capital to the extent of HK$0.499 per issued Ordinary Share by way of a reduction of capital, so as to form issued New Ordinary Shares with par value of HK$0.001 each;
-
(ii) the credit arising from the Capital Reduction 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. The balance of credit (if any) will be transferred to a distributable reserve account of the Company and be applied for such purposes as permitted by all applicable laws and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and as the Board considers appropriate;
-
(iii) immediately following the Capital Reduction becoming effective, each of the authorised but unissued Ordinary Shares with par value of HK$0.50 each be subdivided into 500 authorised but unissued New Ordinary Shares with par value of HK$0.001 each; and
-
(iv) each of the New Ordinary Shares arising from the Capital Reduction and Sub-division 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 of association of the Company.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date on which the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division become effective, the share capital structure of the Company will be as follows:
| Immediately after | ||
|---|---|---|
| the Capital | ||
| Reduction and the | ||
| As at the Latest | Sub-division | |
| Practicable Date | becoming effective | |
| Par value | HK$0.50 per | HK$0.001 per New |
| Ordinary Share | Ordinary Share | |
| Amount of the authorized share capital | HK$500,000,000 | HK$500,000,000 |
| Number of authorized shares | 1,000,000,000 | 500,000,000,000 |
| Ordinary Shares | New Ordinary Shares | |
| Amount of the issued share capital | HK$230,488,342 | HK$460,976.684 |
| Number of issued shares | 460,976,684 | 460,976,684 |
| Ordinary Shares | New Ordinary Shares |
The size of each board lot of the New Ordinary Shares will remain the same as that of the Ordinary Shares, being 10,000 New Ordinary Shares per board lot. The New Ordinary Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, 460,976,684 Ordinary Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that the par value of each of the 460,976,684 issued Ordinary Shares will be reduced from HK$0.50 to HK$0.001 per issued Ordinary Share by cancelling the paid up share capital to the extent of HK$0.499 per issued Ordinary Share by way of a reduction of capital, so as to form issued New Ordinary Shares with par value of HK$0.001 each, the Company’s existing issued share capital of HK$230,488,342 will be reduced by HK$230,027,365.316 to HK$460,976.684.
Reasons for and Effects of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division
The proposed Capital Reduction and Sub-division will enable the par value of the Shares to be reduced from HK$0.50 to HK$0.001 each. The credit arising from the Capital 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. The balance of credit (if any) will be transferred to the distributable reserve account of the Company which may be utilised by the Directors as a distributable reserve.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board is of the opinion that the proposed Capital Reduction 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.
The Board considers that the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division will enable the nominal or par value of the Shares to be reduced from HK$0.50 to HK$0.001 each, thus giving greater flexibility to the Company to issue new Shares in the future given that the Company is not permitted, without order of the Court, to issue new Shares below their nominal or par value. 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, or that the Company will issue New Ordinary Shares, even if the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division take effect.
The Company intends to conduct further fund raising exercises to improve the financial position of the Company in the coming 12 months should the opportunities arise. However, as at present, the Company has no agreement, arrangement, understanding or negotiation with any parties for any potential fund raising activities.
As such, the Directors are of the view that the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
Save for applying the credit arising from the Capital Reduction towards offsetting the accumulated losses of the Company and the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division, the Directors consider that the Capital Reduction and the Subdivision will have no effect on the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportional interests of the Shareholders in the Company.
Conditions of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division
The Capital Reduction and the Sub-division are conditional on the following conditions being fulfilled:
-
(i) the Shareholders’ approval by way of special resolution at the EGM to be convened and held to consider and, if thought fit, approve, among other things, the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division;
-
(ii) an order being made by the Court confirming the Capital Reduction (if applicable);
-
(iii) compliance with any conditions which the Court may impose in relation to the Capital Reduction (if applicable);
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(iv) registration by the Registrar of Companies of 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 (if applicable); and
-
(v) the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Ordinary Shares arising from the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division.
The Capital Reduction and the Sub-division will become effective when the conditions mentioned above are fulfilled. Upon the approval by the Shareholders of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division at the EGM, the legal advisors to the Company (as to the Cayman Islands Law) will apply to the Court for hearing date(s) to confirm the Capital Reduction (if applicable) and a further announcement will be made by the Company as soon as practicable after the Court hearing date(s) is confirmed (if applicable).
Listing and Dealings
Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Ordinary Shares arising from the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division.
The New Ordinary 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. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Ordinary Shares on the Stock Exchange as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, the New Ordinary 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 Ordinary 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.
Exchange of Certificates for New Ordinary Shares
As the Court hearing date(s) (if applicable) has yet to be fixed, the effective date of the Capital Reduction is not ascertainable at present. Should the Capital Reduction and the Subdivision become effective, Shareholders may submit existing certificates in green colour for the Ordinary Shares to the registrar of the Company, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, for exchange, at the expense of the Company, within one month from the effective date of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division, for certificates for the New Ordinary Shares in brown colour. Details of such exchange of share certificates will be announced as soon as the effective date of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division is ascertained.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Thereafter, all existing certificates of the Ordinary Shares will continue to be evidence of title and may 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 Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the New Ordinary Shares, whichever is higher, but are not acceptable for trading, settlement and registration.
EGM
The EGM will be held at 21/F, Block G, Beichen Huiyuan Building, Chaoyang District, Beijing, the People’s Republic of China at 11:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on Friday, 2 February 2024 for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, pass a special resolution for approving the proposed Capital Reduction and the Sub-division. All resolutions will be conducted by way of poll at the EGM and an announcement on the results of the EGM will be made by the Company after the EGM.
To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division, and is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions for approving the proposed Capital Reduction and the Sub-division at the EGM.
The notice of EGM is set out on pages 11 to 14 of this circular.
For determining the entitlement of the Shareholders to attend and vote at the EGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 30 January 2024 to Friday, 2 February 2024 (both dates inclusive) during which period no transfer of the Shares will be registered. In order to be qualified for the entitlement to attend and vote at the EGM, all properly completed transfer forms, accompanied by the relevant share certificates, must be lodged with the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on Monday, 29 January 2024.
A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and deposit the same at the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof.
