−1 −

As the Placing and the Subscription may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares of the Company.

On 24 November 2020 (before trading hours), the Company entered into the Placing Agreement and Subscription Agreement in respect of the Placing and the Subscription, respectively.

PLACING AGREEMENT

Date: 24 November 2020 (before trading hours) Parties (1) the Company; (2) the Vendor; and (3) the Placing Agent.

As at the date of this announcement, the Vendor holds 693,309,425 Shares, representing approximately 29.75% of the existing issued share capital of the Company. The Vendor is wholly-owned by Motion Game Company Limited, which is in turn wholly-owned by Profound Power Investment Limited and is in turn wholly-owned by Changpei Cayman. The general partner of Changpei Cayman is Ambitious Profit Investment Limited, which is indirectly owned as to 64% by Mr. Xiao’s family trust through Zhongshouyou Brothers Limited and 36% by Mr. Sin through Silver Joyce International Limited.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Placing Agent is independent of, and not connected with, the Company and its connected persons.

PLACING

Number of Placing Shares

The Placing Agent conditionally agreed to act as agent for the Vendor (to the exclusion of all others) to place 180,000,000 existing Shares, representing approximately 7.72% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement and approximately 7.17% of the issued share capital as enlarged by the Subscription on a best effort basis.

Placing Price

The Placing Price is HK$3.02 per Share and represents:

  • a discount of approximately 9.85% to the closing price of HK$3.35 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 23 November 2020, the Last Trading Day; and

  • a discount of approximately 9.15% to the average closing price of approximately HK$3.32 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day.

The Placing Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations among the Company, the Vendor and the Placing Agent with reference to the prevailing market price of the Shares and market demand for the Placing Shares.

−2 −

The Directors consider that the Placing Price is fair and reasonable under the current market conditions and is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Rights and Ranking of the Placing Shares

The Placing Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue on the completion date of the Placing.

The Placing Shares will be sold free from encumbrances, and together with all rights attaching to them as at the date of the Placing Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends declared, made or paid on or after the date of the Placing Agreement.

Independence of the Placees

It is expected that the Placing Shares will be placed by the Placing Agent to not less than six independent professional, institutional and/or individual investors. It is not expected that any placee will become a substantial shareholder of the Company as a result of the Placing.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, the placees and their ultimate beneficial owners will be (as the case may be) independent of, and not connected with, and not acting in concert with, the Vendor and the Company and their respective associates and connected persons.

Conditions of the Placing

The obligations of the Placing Agent to proceed to completion of the Placing is conditional upon, among others:

  • (a) the Subscription Agreement having been entered into by the Company and the Vendor; and

  • (b) the Placing Agreement is not terminated pursuant to the terms therein.

  • (c) any change or any development involving a prospective change in the general affairs, condition, results of operations or prospects, earnings, business, properties, management, stockholders’ equity or in the financial or trading position of the Company and/or any other member of the Group which in the sole and absolute opinion of the Placing Agent is materially adverse to the success of the Placing or otherwise as to make it impracticable, inadvisable or inexpedient to proceed with the Placing,

−4 −

then and in any such case, the Placing Agent may terminate the Placing Agreement without liability to the Vendor by giving notice in writing to the Vendor, which notice may be given at any time prior to completion of the Placing on the Closing Date.

In the event that the Placing Agent terminates the Placing Agreement in accordance with its terms, the obligations of parties under the Placing Agreement will cease and determine and no party will have any claim against any other party save for any antecedent breach.

Completion of the Placing

The parties expect that the Placing will be completed on the Closing Date.

SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

Date: 24 November 2020 (before trading hours) Parties (1) the Company; and (2) the Vendor.

Number of new Shares to be subscribed

The number of the Subscription Shares is equivalent to the number of the Placing Shares, which have been placed by the Placing Agent. The maximum number of 180,000,000 Subscription Shares, represents approximately 7.72% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement and approximately 7.17% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Subscription.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is equivalent to the Placing Price of HK$3.02. The Subscription Shares have an aggregate nominal value of US$18,000, and a market value of HK$603 million, based on the closing price of HK$3.35 per Share on the Last Trading Day. The net price per Subscription Share is HK$2.98.

The Subscription Price, being equal to the Placing Price, was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Vendor with reference to the Placing Price.

The Directors consider that the terms of the Subscription are fair and reasonable under the current market conditions and are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

General mandate to issue the Subscription Shares

The Subscription Shares will be allotted and issued under the General Mandate granted to the Directors at the 2020 AGM. Under the General Mandate, a maximum of 466,030,000 new Shares may be allotted and issued by the Company. Up to the date of this announcement, the Company has not issued any Shares pursuant to the General Mandate. Accordingly, the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares is not subject to the approval of the Shareholders.

Ranking of the Subscription Shares

The Subscription Shares, when fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue on the completion date of the Subscription including the right to any dividends or distributions after the date of completion of the Subscription.

−5 −

Conditions of the Subscription

The Subscription is conditional upon:

  • (1) completion of the Placing;

  • (2) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of and permission to deal in the Subscription Shares; and

  • (3) the Executive Director of the Corporate Finance Division of the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (or any delegate of the Executive Director) or the Takeovers and Mergers Panel granting a waiver to Mr. Xiao and Mr. Sin, and other parties acting in concert with them, of any obligation, as a result of the Subscription, to make a general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all of the issued Shares other than those already owned by them.

None of the conditions stated above can be waived.

In the event that the conditions are not fulfilled within 14 days after the date of the Placing Agreement and the Subscription Agreement (or such later date as may be agreed among the parties), the obligations and liabilities of the Vendor and the Company under the Subscription Agreement shall be null and void and neither the Company nor the Vendor shall have any claim against the other for costs, damages, compensation or otherwise, except for, among others, any antecedent breach of any obligation under the Subscription Agreement.

Completion of the Subscription

Completion of the Subscription will take place on the second Business Day (or such other time and/or date as the Vendor, the Company and the Placing Agent may agree in writing) after the date upon fulfillment of the last of the above conditions.

As the Vendor (a controlling Shareholder) is a connected person of the Company and the Subscription constitutes a connected transaction of the Company exempt under Rule 14A.92(4) of the Listing Rules, if the Subscription is not completed within 14 days after the date of the Placing Agreement and the Subscription Agreement, i.e. 24 November 2020, the relevant provisions of the Listing Rules in relation to connected transaction will apply (including the independent Shareholders’ approval requirement) to the Subscription, unless otherwise waived by the Stock Exchange. An appropriate announcement will be made by the Company in compliance with the Listing Rules, if required and necessary.

Application for listing

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

LOCK-UP UNDERTAKINGS

  • (D) any new Shares issued pursuant to any conversion of existing outstanding convertible bonds issued by the Company prior to the Placing Agreement (if any),

the Company will not (i) allot or issue or grant or offer to allot or issue or grant any option, right or warrant to subscribe (either conditionally or unconditionally, or directly or indirectly, or otherwise) any Shares or any interests in Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for or substantially similar to any Shares or interest in Shares; or (ii) agree (conditionally or unconditionally) to enter into or effect any such transaction with the same economic effect as any of the transaction described in this paragraph (i) above; or (iii) announce any intention to enter into or effect any such transaction described in this paragraph (i) or (ii) above, unless with the prior written consent of the Placing Agent.

USE OF PROCEEDS AND REASONS FOR THE PLACING AND SUBSCRIPTION

The net proceeds to be received by the Company from the Subscription, after deducting related fees and expenses, are estimated to be approximately HK$536.78 million.

The Group is a leading IP-based game operator and publisher, focusing primarily on IPs relating to well-known cultural products and art works. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Subscription to further enhance its IP-based game publishing and development business through acquisitions and/or investments in 1) leading game developers with good research and development capabilities and 2) strong IP rights relating to popular and promising animations, literature, game and motion pictures, in Greater China. As at the date of this announcement, no specific acquisition or investment target has been identified by the Company in respect of the application of the net proceeds.

The Directors consider that the Placing and the Subscription represent an opportunity to raise capital for the Company while broadening its Shareholder and capital base. The Directors are of the view that the Placing and the Subscription would strengthen the financial position of the Group and provide working capital to the Group. The Directors consider that the terms of the Placing Agreement and the Subscription Agreement (including the Placing Price and the Subscription Price) are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors confirm that, immediately after completion of the Placing and the Subscription, the public float of the Company will be no less than 25% of the Company’s issued share capital as enlarged by the Subscription (assuming there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the date of this announcement to the date of completion of the Subscription save for the issue of the Subscription Shares).

The Directors are further of the view that the lock up period for the Company as set out above is fair and reasonable on the grounds that: (i) the lock up period is only for 90 days which is in line with the market practice and as a result of the arm’s length commercial negotiation between the Company, the Vendor and the Placing Agent; and (ii) it can ensure an orderly market of the Shares.

As the Placing and the Subscription may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares of the Company.

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS

The Company has not undertaken any equity fund raising exercise over the period of twelve months prior to the date of this announcement.

DISPENSATION FROM RULE 26 OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

As a result of the Subscription, the aggregate shareholding of Mr. Xiao, through Zhongshouyou Brothers Limited, the Vendor and the restricted share units granted to Mr. Xiao, will be increased from 28.82% to 33.93%, and the aggregate shareholding of Mr. Sin, through Silver Joyce International Limited, the Vendor and the restricted share units granted to Mr. Sin, will be increased from 27.34% to 32.55%.

An application will be made to the Executive Director of the Corporate Finance Division of the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (or any delegate of the Executive Director) or the Takeovers and Mergers Panel granting a waiver to Mr. Xiao and Mr. Sin, and other parties acting in concert with them, of any obligation, as a result of the Subscription, to make a general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all of the issued Shares other than those already owned by them.
