LAPSE OF THE PLACING AGREEMENT
The Placing has not become unconditional on 21 February 2008, being the last date on which the conditions of the Placing Agreement must be fulfilled. Accordingly, the Placing Agreement has automatically lapsed.
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 10 October 2007 and the circular of the Company dated 1 November 2007 (the “Circular”) in respect of, among other things, the placing by the Underwriter, on a best effort basis, of 4% convertible bonds in an aggregate principal amount of HK$300 million proposed to be issued by the Company. Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless otherwise specified herein.
Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, completion of the Placing is conditional upon:
-
(a) the Listing Committee having granted approval for (either unconditionally or subject only to conditions to which neither the Company and the Underwriter will reasonably object) the listing of and permission to deal in the Conversion Shares;
-
(b) the Bermuda Monetary Authority having given its consent on the issue of the Convertible Bonds and the issue of the Conversion Shares (if required);
-
(c) the passing by Shareholders in the SGM of a resolution to approve the Placing Agreement and the issue of the Convertible Bonds and the Conversion Shares thereunder in accordance with the Listing Rules; and
-
(d) the Company having entered into a binding memorandum of understanding, heads of agreement or definitive agreement concerning an investment, joint venture or acquisition which constitutes a notifiable transaction under the Listing Rules.
As of the date of this announcement, the condition (d), inter alia, has not been fulfilled due to the recent change in market condition. The Placing has not become unconditional within 90 days from the date of the SGM, i.e. on 21 February 2008, the Placing Agreement has automatically lapsed.
