LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

Subsequent to the UNISTECH Completion, the Shares have been trading on market prices substantially over the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.40. Pursuant to the original terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds, the Conversion Price will be adjusted downwards even if the Company undertakes any corporate actions set forth in the Subject Dilutive Events at a price per Share substantially higher than the initial Conversion Price but less than the 80% of the market price on the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue or the proposals, as the case may be (the “ Subject Corporate Actions ”). The Board considers the Subject Dilutive Events might, upon the occurrence of the Subject Corporate Actions, have a substantial dilutive effect on the minority shareholders’ interest and be detrimental to the minority shareholders.

The Board also consider that:

  • (i) the Proposed Amendments represent a waiver of rights by Unis Technology Strategy and will have no impact on the daily business operations of the Group;

  • (ii) the rights of the Shareholders will not be affected by the Proposed Amendments;

  • (iii) the cancellation of the adjustment mechanism of the Convertible Bonds, so as to the consequential cancellation of the corresponding dilutive effect on the share capital of the Company may lead to the enhancement of the net asset value per Share; and

  • (iv) the Proposed Amendments will allow the Company to have more flexibility for future fund raising exercises without concerns on the adjustments to the Conversion Price.

Unis Technology Strategy is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tsinghua Unigroup and was established for the purpose of developing global business and strengthening international cooperation. Tsinghua Unigroup is one of the key enterprises under Tsinghua Holdings. Save for holding the approximate 67.82% shareholding in the Company and the Convertible Bonds, Unis Technology Strategy currently does not have any other significant business activities.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

According to Rule 28.05 of the Listing Rules, any alterations in the terms of convertible debt securities after issue must be approved by the Stock Exchange, except where the alterations take effect automatically under the existing terms of such convertible debt securities. The Company has applied to the Stock Exchange for its approval for the Proposed Amendments pursuant to the requirements under the Listing Rules. The Proposed Amendments are considered a material change to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds. They are therefore regarded as new arrangements for the Company to issue convertible debt securities to Unis Technology Strategy and Shareholders’ approval is required.

The Company will seek the grant of the Specific Mandate from the Independent Shareholders at the SGM to be convened to authorise the Board to allot and issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds as amended by the Supplemental Deed.

No application will be made by the Company for the listing of the Convertible Bonds. Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Conversation Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds as amended by the Supplemental Deed

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Unis Technology Strategy holds approximately 67.82% of the total issued share capital of the Company and therefore is the controlling shareholder of the Company. In addition, Mr. But, who is the guarantor under the UNISTECH Subscription Agreement, was a Director of the Company in the last 12 months. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. But holds approximately 6.18% of the total issued share capital of the Company. As Unis Technology Strategy and Mr. But are connected persons of the Company, the entering into of the Supplemental Deed constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and is subject to reporting, announcement and the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Unis Technology Strategy, Mr. But and their respective associates will abstain from voting in the SGM for approval of the Supplemental Deed and the Proposed Amendments contemplated thereunder and the grant of the Specific Mandate.

Saved as disclosed above, no other Shareholder will be required to abstain from voting in respect of the Supplemental Deed and the Proposed Amendments contemplated thereunder and the grant of the Specific Mandate.

To the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sirs,

CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO PROPOSED AMENDMENTS OF THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Supplemental Deed and the Proposed Amendments contemplated thereunder and the grant of the Specific Mandate, details of which are contained in the letter from the board (the “ Letter from the Board ”) of the circular dated 15 March 2017 (the “ Circular ”) issued by the Company, of which this letter forms part. Unless otherwise stated, terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular.

According to the Letter from the Board, on 7 March 2017 (after trading hours), the Company entered into a supplemental deed with Unis Technology Strategy, pursuant to which the Company and Unis Technology Strategy agreed to amend certain terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds to the effect that the Conversion Price shall not be subject to further adjustment of the occurrence of dilutive events set forth in paragraph (d), (f), (g) and (h) under the heading of “Anti-dilution adjustments” in the Issuance Circular (the “ Subject Dilutive Events ”) (the “ Proposed Amendments ”). Apart from the Proposed Amendments, all other terms of the Convertible Bond remain unchanged.

According to the Letter from the Board, pursuant to Rule 28.05 of the Listing Rules, any alterations in the terms of the convertible bonds after issue must be approved by the Stock Exchange, except where alterations take effect automatically under the existing terms of such convertible bonds.

Moreover, as stated in the Letter from the Board, Unis Technology Strategy holds approximately 67.82% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and therefore is the controlling shareholder of the Company. In addition, Mr. But, who is the guarantor under the UNISTECH Subscription Agreement, was a Director of the Company in the last 12 months. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. But holds

– 23 –

approximately 6.18% of the total issued share capital of the Company. As Unis Technology Strategy and Mr. But are connected persons of the Company, the entering into of the Supplemental Deed constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and is subject to reporting, announcement and the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Unis Technology Strategy, Mr. But and their respective associates will abstain from voting in the SGM for approval of the Supplemental Deed and the Proposed Amendments contemplated thereunder and the grant of the Specific Mandate.

We have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee, which comprises all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Cui Yuzhi, Mr. Bao Yi and Mr. Ping Fan, and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Supplemental Deed and the Proposed Amendments contemplated thereunder and the grant of the Specific Mandate, and to make recommendations as to, among others, whether the terms of the Supplemental Deed (including the Proposed Amendments) are fair and reasonable, are on normal commercial terms or better, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and in the interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole and as to voting in respect of the relevant resolutions at the SGM.

Orient Capital is a licensed corporation to carry out Type 6 regulated activities (advising on corporate finance) under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong). Orient Capital and its affiliates, whose ordinary business involves the trading of, dealing in and the holding of securities, may be involved in the trading of, dealing in, and the holding of the securities of the Group for client accounts.

During the past two years, Orient Capital had no past engagement with the Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we were independent from and not connected with the Group under Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules, and accordingly, are qualified to give independent advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Supplemental Deed and the Proposed Amendments contemplated thereunder and the grant of the Specific Mandate.

BASIS OF OUR ADVICE

In formulating our opinion and recommendation, we have reviewed, among other things, the Announcement, the Circular (including the Letter from the Board), the Issuance Circular, the UNISTECH Subscription Agreement, the Supplemental Deed, and the interim report (the “ Interim Report ”) of the Company for the six months ended 30 September 2016. We have also relied on the information and representations which have been provided by the Directors and the management of the Company (the “ Management ”) for which they are solely and wholly responsible, were true, accurate and complete as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In formulating our recommendation, we have relied on the information, opinions and facts supplied and representations made to us by the Company, which has assumed full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in this circular and that any information and representations made to us are true, accurate and complete in all material respects as at the date hereof and that they may be relied upon. We have no reason to doubt

– 24 –

LETTER FROM ORIENT CAPITAL (HONG KONG) LIMITED

the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations provided to us by the Company. We have relied on certain information available to the public and have assumed such information to be accurate and reliable, and we have not independently verified the accuracy of such information. We have also assumed that statements and representations made or referred to in the Circular were accurate at the time they were made and continue to be accurate up to the date of the SGM. We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information to reach an informed view in order to provide a reasonable basis for our advice. We have not, however, for the purpose of this exercise, conducted any independent detailed investigation or audit into the business, affairs or future prospects of the Company. Our advice was necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions in effect, and the information made available to us, as at the Latest Practicable Date. As the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have not been involved in the negotiations in respect of the terms of the Supplemental Deed (including the Proposed Amendments).

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

The principal factors and reasons we have taken into account in assessing the terms of the Supplemental Deed (including the Proposed Amendments) in giving our recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders are set out below:

1. Background and reasons for entering into the Supplemental Deed

According to the Letter from the Board, on 4 February 2016, the Company entered into the UNISTECH Subscription Agreement with Mr. But and Unis Technology Strategy in relation to, among other things, the issue of the Convertible Bonds in an aggregate principal amount of HK$148,000,000. The Convertible Bonds bears no interest and is convertible into the Conversion Shares, being 370,000,000 Shares, at the Conversion Price of HK$0.40 per Conversion Share. The UNISTECH Completion took place on 30 May 2016 pursuant to the terms of the UNISTECH Subscription Agreement. All outstanding Convertible Bonds will mature on 30 May 2021. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Convertible Bonds are wholly held by Unis Technology Strategy and none of the Convertible Bonds has been redeemed nor converted, in whole or in part.

Subsequent to the UNISTECH Completion, the Shares have been trading on market prices substantially over the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.40. Pursuant to the original terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds, the Conversion Price will be adjusted downwards if the Company undertakes the Subject Corporate Actions. The Board considers the Subject Dilutive Events might, upon the occurrence of the Subject Corporate Actions, have a substantial dilutive effect on the minority shareholders’ interest and be detrimental to the minority shareholders.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM ORIENT CAPITAL (HONG KONG) LIMITED

The Board also considers that:

  • (i) the Proposed Amendments represent a waiver of rights by Unis Technology Strategy and will have no impact on the daily business operations of the Group;

  • (ii) the rights of the Shareholders will not be affected by the Proposed Amendments;

  • (iii) the cancellation of the adjustment mechanism of the Convertible Bonds, so as to the consequential cancellation of the corresponding dilutive effect on the share capital of the Company may lead to the enhancement of the net asset value per Share; and

  • (iv) the Proposed Amendments will allow the Company to have more flexibility for future fund raising exercises without concerns on the adjustments to the Conversion Price.

2. Principal terms of the Supplemental Deed

According to the Letter from the Board, on 7 March 2017 (after trading hours), the Company entered into the Supplemental Deed with Unis Technology Strategy, pursuant to which the Company and Unis Technology Strategy agreed to amend certain terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds such that the Conversion Price shall not be adjusted upon the occurrence of the Subject Dilutive Events.

Pursuant to the UNISTECH Subscription Agreement in respect of the Convertible Bonds, the Conversion Price was subject to anti-dilution adjustments upon the occurrence of the following events:

  1. issue of Shares to all or substantially all Shareholders as a class by way rights, or issue or grant to all or substantially all Shareholders as a class by way of rights, of options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Shares, in each case at a price per Share which is less than the higher of (i) 80% of the market price on the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue or grant and (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect on the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue or grant;

  2. issue (other than as mentioned in paragraph (d) above) of any Shares (other than Shares issued on the exercise of conversion rights or on the exercise of any other rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for, Shares) or issue or grant (other than as mentioned in paragraph (d) above) options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, or purchase or otherwise acquire any Shares, in each case at a price per Share which is less than the higher of (i) 80% of the market price on the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue and (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect on the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue;

– 26 –

LETTER FROM ORIENT CAPITAL (HONG KONG) LIMITED

  1. save in the case of an issue of securities arising from a conversion of exchange of other securities in accordance with the terms applicable to such securities themselves falling within this paragraph (g), the issue wholly for cash in paragraphs (d), (e) and (f) of any securities (other than the Convertible Bonds) which by their terms of issue carry rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription at a consideration per Share which is less than the higher of (i) 80% of the market price on the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue of such securities and (ii) the Conversion Price in effect on the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue of such securities;

  2. when the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attached to any such securities as are mentioned in paragraph (g) above (other than in accordance with the terms of such securities) are modified so that the consideration per Share is less than the higher of (i) 80% of the market price on the date of the announcement of the proposals for such modification and (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect on the date of the announcement of the proposals for such modification.

We have noted that the Proposed Amendments will cancel the adjustment mechanism of the Convertible Bonds, Unis Technology Strategy is no longer protected against the Subject Dilutive Events from its initial investment and will share the same per share effect to the Shareholders upon the occurrence of Subject Corporate Actions.

A comparison between the differences between the original terms of UNISTECH Subscription Agreement and the Proposed Amendments contemplated under the Supplemental Deed are set out in the Letter from the Board. The principal terms of the Convertible Bonds (as amended pursuant to the Supplemental Deed) are summarized in the Letter from the Board as well. Apart from the Proposed Amendments, all other terms of the Convertible Bonds shall remain unchanged.

In this regard, we concur with the view of the Management that the terms under the Supplemental Deed are fair and reasonable.

3. Evaluation of the Proposed Amendments

No Daily operation Impact

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Proposed Amendments represent a waiver of rights by Unis Technology Strategy and will have no impact on the daily business operations of the Group.

Since the UNISTECH Completion took place on 30 May 2016, Unis Technology Strategy has been executing its plan as disclosed in the “Future intention regarding the Group” section in the Issuance Circular, Unis Technology Strategy intends to assist the Group to upgrade its technology, products and

production facilities and further expand its smart production lines and semi-conductor equipment business in the PRC. Detailed use of the proceeds has also been disclosed in the announcement made on 23 January 2017.

The table below sets out the shareholding structure of the Company (i) as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) immediately after the full conversion of the Convertible bonds at the Conversion Price.

Note: For illustrative purpose only, as stated above in the Letter from the Board, no exercise of conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds shall be allowed if the conversion would result in the Company breaching the minimum public float requirement under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.

As presented in the above shareholding table, the shareholding of the Independent Shareholders would decrease from approximately 26.00% to approximately 20.73% immediately after the full conversion of the Convertible bonds, representing a maximum dilution of approximately 5.27%.

As shown in the table above, Unis Technology Strategy is the controlling shareholder of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. After the Proposed Amendments, the conversion of the Convertible Bonds will have no material impact on the existing shareholder of the Company. As stated above, Unis Technology Strategy has shown a strong commitment to bring the Company to achieve its business goals and enhance the returns to the Shareholders. As Unis Technology Strategy will remain as the controlling shareholder after the Proposed Amendments and potential dilution effect to Shareholders will be eliminated, we consider that the Proposed Amendments is acceptable.

As disclosed in the announcement made by the Company on 17 February 2017, 27 September 2016 and 20 April 2016, Unis Technology Strategy has been arranging suitable candidates to manage the Group. We’ve also noted that Proposed Amendments would not affect the position of Unis Technology Strategy as the controlling shareholder of the Company.

– 28 –

LETTER FROM ORIENT CAPITAL (HONG KONG) LIMITED

Per discussion with the management of Unis Technology Strategy, even though the Proposed Amendments will negate the right of Unis Technology Strategy to protect itself upon the occurrence of Subject Corporate Actions that may reduce its potential shareholding of the Company. Unis Technology Strategy has agreed to the Proposed Amendments as a way to show its support to the Company. Therefore, we believe the Proposed Amendments are in the interest of the Company and shareholders as a whole.

Flexibility in future funding

As stated in the Letter from the Board, according to the original terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds, the Conversion Price will be adjusted downwards if the Company undertakes Subject Corporate Actions set forth in the Subject Dilutive Events at price per Share substantially higher than the initial Conversion Price but less than 80% of the market price on the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue or the proposals.

Chart 1 below demonstrates the daily closing price of the Shares against the Conversion Price and consolidated net asset value per Share of the Company as at 30 September 2016 (“ NAV ”) for the period commencing from 30 May 2016 (being the date of the issue of the Convertible Bonds) up to the Latest Practicable Date (the “ Review Period ”).

As observed from Chart 1, we have noted that the closing Share prices were traded within the range of HK$1.41 to HK$2.90 during the Review Period with an average closing Share price of approximately HK$2.028. The Conversion Price represents (i) a discount of approximately 86.21% to the aforesaid highest closing price of the Shares during the Review Period; (ii) a discount of approximately 71.63% over the aforesaid lowest closing price of the Shares during the Review Period; and (iii) a discount of approximately 80.27% to the aforesaid average closing price of the Shares during the Review Period.

The NAV of HK$0.379 is calculated based on the total net asset published in the Interim Report divided by the total issued Share Capital as at the Latest Practicable Date. We have noted that the NAV is also substantially lower than the market prices of the Company during the Review Period. The NAV represents a discount of approximately 81.31% to the average closing Share price during the Review Period and a discount of approximately 5.25% to the Conversion Price.

According to Chart 2, we noted that the daily trading volume of the Shares is within the range of 0 shares to 26,081,197 shares, representing approximately 0.00% to 1.79% of the Company’s total outstanding Shares. The average daily trading volume of the Shares per day during the Review Period is 1,390,293 shares, representing approximately 0.10% of the Company’s total outstanding Shares. As the trading volume of the Shares during the Review Period was relatively thin, indicating a generally low liquidity of the Shares.

As discussed above, the Subject Dilutive Events would occur when the price per Share issued is less than the higher of (i) 80% of the market price on the date of announcement of the terms of the issue or grant and (ii) the Conversion Price then in effect on the date of the announcement of the terms of the issue or grant.

As the Shares have been trading on market prices substantially over the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.4 and net asset value per Share of HK$0.379 as at 30 September 2016 and the trading activity of the Company’s Shares are not active during the Review Period, we believe the Subject Dilutive Events have limited the options and timing of fund raising exercises that can be conducted by the Company in order to avoid dilution to the Independent Shareholders. Therefore, we concur with the Management’s view that the Proposed Amendments would allow the Company to have more flexibility for future fund raising exercises without concerns on the adjustments to the Conversion Price and are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM ORIENT CAPITAL (HONG KONG) LIMITED

Positive Impact to the Financial Statement of the Company

Set out in the table below is a summary of the Company’s consolidated net assets, as at the 30 September 2016, as extracted from the Interim Report.

For the six
months ended
30 September
2016
HKD
Net Assets 552,541,000
Number of shares before conversion 1,455,000,000
Number of shares after conversion 1,825,000,000
Net assets per share before conversion 0.379
Net assets per share after conversion 0.302

Based on above, we noted that the decrease in net assets per share is approximately 20.31% if the Convertible Bond is converted at the Conversion Price. We are aware of that the NAV will be further decreased if the Subjective Dilutive Events are triggered.

Therefore, we concur with the Management’s view that the consequential cancellation of the corresponding dilutive effect on the share capital of the Company may lead to protection of the NAV being further decreased.

We have also reviewed the relevant accounting standard and discussed with the Management regarding the effect to the financial statements of the Company due to the Proposed Amendments. We understand that the conversion feature under the original terms of the Convertible Bond failed to meet the “fixed to fixed” criterion under HKAS 32 and the whole convertible bond has to be assessed as a financial liability and valued based on fair value. However, the Proposed Amendments would allow the Convertible Bond to be classified as a compound instrument and a relatively smaller financial liability will be recognized accordingly.

Based on abovementioned, we concur with the Management that the Proposed Amendments could provide a positive financial effect brought to the Group.

Our View

Based on abovementioned factors, we concur with the view of the Management that entering into the Supplemental Deed and the Proposed Amendments thereunder and the grant of the Specific Mandate are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM ORIENT CAPITAL (HONG KONG) LIMITED

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above principal factors and reasons, we consider that although the Supplemental Deed and the Proposed Amendments contemplated thereunder are not within the ordinary and usual course fo business of the Group, the entering into of the Supplemental Deed and the Proposed Amendments contemplated thereunder and the grant of the Specific Mandate are fair and reasonable, are on normal commercial terms or better and in the interests of Independent Shareholders are concerned, and, from those perspectives, are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to approve the Supplemental Deed and the Proposed Amendments contemplated thereunder and the grant of the Specific Mandate at the SGM. Independent Shareholders are however advised to take note of the possible dilution effect on their shareholding in the Company upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds.
