References are made to the announcements of the Company dated 23 April 2020, 24 April 2020 and 28 April 2020 (the “ Announcements ”) in relation to, among other things, the Topup Placing and the Subscription. Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcements.

COMPLETION OF SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW SHARES UNDER GENERAL MANDATE

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 28 April 2020, completion of the Top-up Placing took place on 28 April 2020. A total of 282,000,000 Top-up Placing Shares held by the Vendors have been successfully placed at the Top-up Placing Price of HK$3.05 per Share.

The Board is pleased to announce that all the conditions for the Subscription have been fulfilled and completion of the Subscription took place on 8 May 2020. In connection with the Top-up Placing, a total of 230,000,000 Subscription Shares have been issued to the Vendors at the Subscription Price of HK$3.05 per Share. Among the 230,000,000 Subscription Shares, Prime Choice and Wise Logic subscribed for 150,000,000 Shares and 80,000,000 Shares respectively. The Subscription Shares represent approximately 8.40% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Subscription.

Since the total number of Top-up Placing Shares is more than the total number of Subscription Shares, the Vendors in effect placed 52,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 1.90% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Subscription at the price of HK$3.05 per Share.

The net proceeds to the Company from the Subscription are approximately HK$686.49 million. The Group is principally engaged in the research, development, manufacture and sale of wireless telecommunications network system equipment and the provision of related engineering services. In anticipation of the promising market of 5G technology development and application, the Company intends to apply the net proceeds to be received by it for 5G technologies R&D and production capacity expansion. Specifically, the Company plans to invest in: 1) R&D of 5G small cells and OpenRAN, 5G antenna development and filter, and development of 5G+ vertical applications; 2) expansion of production capacity, focusing on the production of 5G small cells and antenna products.
