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.

LETTER FROM VBG CAPITAL

VBG Capital Limited

==> picture [9 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

18/F., Prosperity Tower 39 Queen’s Road Central Hong Kong

23 December 2019

To the Independent Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

MANDATORY UNCONDITIONAL CASH OFFER BY VBG CAPITAL LIMITED FOR AND ON BEHALF OF THE OFFEROR TO ACQUIRE ALL OF THE ISSUED SHARES IN ELEGANCE COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL PRINTING GROUP LIMITED (OTHER THAN THOSE ALREADY OWNED AND/OR AGREED TO BE ACQUIRED BY GLOBAL FORTUNE GLOBAL LIMITED AND/OR PARTIES ACTING IN CONCERT WITH IT)

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Joint Announcement and the announcement of the Company dated 18 November 2019. On 13 November 2019 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Company and the Offeror jointly announced, among other things, that the Vendor (as vendor), the Offeror (as purchaser) and Mr. So entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement dated 5 November 2019, pursuant to which the Vendor conditionally agreed to sell, and the Offeror conditionally agreed to acquire, the Sale Shares at the total consideration of HK$59,978,400 (equivalent to approximately HK$0.268 per Sale Share).

As disclosed in the section headed “ Conditions for the Completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement ” in the Joint Announcement, completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is conditional upon the satisfaction (or waiver by the Offeror, where applicable) of certain conditions. The Company and the Offeror stated in the Joint Announcement that all such conditions have been satisfied. Accordingly, Completion took place on 19 November 2019.

— 1 —

LETTER FROM VBG CAPITAL

Upon Completion and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor owns or controls a total of 106,200,000 Shares, representing 24.14% of the issued share capital of the Company, whilst the Offeror owns or controls a total of 223,800,000 Shares, representing 50.86% of the issued share capital of the Company. Pursuant to the Takeovers Code, because each of the Vendor and the Offeror owns or controls more than 20% shareholding in the Company, they are presumed to be acting in concert and the Offeror and the Vendor hold, in aggregate, 330,000,000 Shares, representing 75% of the issued share capital of the Company. As the Offeror’s shareholding has increased to 50.86%, the leader of the concert group has been changed. Accordingly, the Offeror is required to make the Offer for all the issued Shares (other than those already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it) under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code. VBG Capital is making the Offer for and on behalf of the Offeror.

This letter forms part of this Composite Document which sets out, among other things, the principal terms of the Offer, the information of the Offeror and the Offeror’s intention on the Company. Further details of the Offer and procedures for acceptance and settlement are set out in Appendix I to this Composite Document and the accompanying Form of Acceptance. The Independent Shareholders are strongly advised to consider carefully the information contained in “ LETTER FROM THE BOARD ”, “ LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE ” and “ LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL ” as set out in this Composite Document, the appendices as set out in this Composite Document and the Form of Acceptance and to consult their professional advisers if in doubt before reaching a decision as to whether or not to accept the Offer.

ELEGANCE COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL PRINTING GROUP LIMITED 精雅商業財經印刷集團有限公司

(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

Box 1350, Mr. Leung Shu Kin Clifton House, 75 Fort Street, Grand Cayman, Independent non-executive Directors: KY1-1108, Cayman Islands Mr. Kwong Chi Wing Mr. Chan Ka Yeung Head office and principal place of Mr. Tam Ka Hei Raymond business in Hong Kong: Room 2402-2407, 24/F, China Merchants Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168-200 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong 23 December 2019

To the Independent Shareholders,

Dear Sir or Madam,

MANDATORY UNCONDITIONAL CASH OFFER BY VBG CAPITAL LIMITED FOR AND ON BEHALF OF GLOBAL FORTUNE GLOBAL LIMITED TO ACQUIRE ALL OF THE ISSUED SHARES OF ELEGANCE COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL PRINTING GROUP LIMITED (OTHER THAN THOSE ALREADY OWNED AND/OR AGREED TO BE ACQUIRED BY THE OFFEROR AND/OR PARTIES ACTING IN CONCERT WITH IT)

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Joint Announcement.

— 12 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As disclosed in the Joint Announcement, on 5 November 2019 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Vendor, the Offeror and Mr. So entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Vendor conditionally agreed to sell and the Offeror conditionally agreed to acquire an aggregate of 223,800,000 Sale Shares, representing approximately 50.86% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, at a total consideration of HK$59,978,400 (equivalent to approximately HK$0.268 per Sale Share). The Completion took place on 19 November 2019 and was announced on 20 November 2019 by the Company.

As mentioned in the “ LETTER FROM VBG CAPITAL ” contained in this Composite Document, upon Completion and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor became interested in 106,200,000 Shares, representing approximately 24.14% of the issued share capital of the Company, whilst the Offeror, its ultimate beneficial owners and parties acting in concert with any of them (excluding the Vendor) became the owner of 223,800,000 Shares, representing approximately 50.86% of the issued share capital of the Company. Pursuant to the Takeovers Code, in view that each of the Vendor and the Offeror is interested in more than 20% shareholding in the Company, they are presumed to be acting in concert and the Offeror and the Vendor hold, in aggregate, 330,000,000 Shares, representing 75% of the issued share capital of the Company. As the Offeror’s shareholding in the Company has increased to approximately 50.86%, the leader of the concert group has been changed. Accordingly, the Offeror is required to make the Offer for all the issued Shares (other than those already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it) under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code.

Pursuant to Rule 1.01 of the GEM Listing Rules, “controlling shareholder” is defined as any person who is or group of persons who are together entitled to exercise or control the exercise of 30% (or such other amount as may from time to time be specified in the Takeovers Code as being the level for triggering a mandatory general offer) or more of the voting power at general meetings of the issuer or who is or are in a position to control the composition of a majority of the board of directors of the issuer. Given that the Vendor is interested in 106,200,000 Shares, representing approximately 24.14% of the issued share capital of the Company, immediately after the Completion, the Vendor ceased to be a controlling shareholder of the Company.

This letter forms part of this Composite Document and set out, among other things, (i) information relating to the Group, the Offeror and the Offer; (ii) the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Offer and as to acceptance of the Offer; and (iii) the letter from Vinco Capital, containing its advice and recommendation to the Independent Board Committee in relation to the Offer.

Unless the context otherwise requires, terms defined in the Composite Document shall have the same meanings when used in this letter.

Audited consolidated results for the two years ended 31 March 2019

As disclosed in the Annual Report 2019, the Group’s revenue decreased by approximately 8.2% from approximately HK$80.6 million for the year ended 31 March 2018 to approximately HK$74.0 million for the year ended 31 March 2019, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in revenue from commercial printing services as a result of increasing concern on environmental protection, the popularity of digitalization of information, the rise of online marketing, social media and globalization.

LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL

The Group recorded a loss attributable to the owners of the Company at approximately HK$7.7 million for the year ended 31 March 2019, compared to the loss attributable to the owners of the Company of approximately HK$8.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2018. The loss for the two years ended 31 March 2019 was mainly attributable to the non-recurring listing expenses incurred of approximately HK$13.0 million and approximately HK$5.9 million for each respective year ended 31 March 2018 and 2019. Excluding the effect of the listing expenses, the Group would have recorded profit attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$4.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2018, and loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$1.8 million for the year ended 31 March 2019.

Excluding the factor of listing expenses, the loss-making position for the year ended 31 March 2019 was mainly attributable to (i) the decrease in total revenue by approximately HK$6.6 million which was resulted from the reduction in the orders from customers for commercial printing services because of the increasing concern on environmental protection, the popularity of digitalisation of information, the rise of online marketing, social media and globalisation, by approximately HK$8.7 million, from approximately HK$55.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2018 to approximately HK$46.5 million for the year ended 31 March 2019; and (ii) the additional administrative and other operating expenses including directors’ emoluments and professional fees after the listing, by approximately HK$2.2 million from approximately HK$18.3 million for the year ended 31 March 2018 to approximately HK$20.5 million for the year ended 31 March 2019.

Unaudited consolidated results for the six months ended 30 September 2019

As disclosed in the Interim Report 2019/2020, the Group’s revenue decreased by approximately 13.7% from approximately HK$42.4 million for the six months ended 30 September 2018 to approximately HK$36.6 million for the six months ended 30 September 2019. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in revenue from financial printing services as a result of decrease in printing services jobs relating to non-recurring projects such as preparation of prospectus and related documents for initial public offerings (“ IPO ”).

LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL

The Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$4.2 million for the six months ended 30 September 2019, compared to the loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$2.8 million for the six months ended 30 September 2018. The loss-making position for the six months ended 30 September 2019 was mainly attributable to (i) the decrease in sales orders from existing customers and non-recurring projects, primarily driven by increasing concern on environmental protection, the popularity of digitalisation of information, the emergence of online marketing, social media and globalisation; (ii) the increase in additional administrative and other operating expenses including directors’ emoluments, professional fees and audit fees; and (iii) the increase in selling expenses due to the hiring of new staff for the sales team during the six months ended 30 September 2019.

As at 30 September 2019, the Group recorded total assets, total liabilities and equity attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$129.1 million, HK$41.3 million and HK$87.3 million, respectively.

Commercial printing is mainly dealing with commercial customers from wide spectrum such as banks, insurance companies, corporate customers and their advertising agents and fund houses in Hong Kong. The growth of financial printing services industry in Hong Kong however is associated with the number of listed companies as well as equity fund raising activities on the Stock Exchange. According to HKEX Fact Book 2017 & 2018 and the initial public offering applications, delisting and suspensions report issued by the Stock Exchange, the number of new listings has increased by approximately 25.3% from 174 in the year of 2017 to 218 in the year of 2018, and the number of listing applications has increased by approximately 20.0% from 310 in the year of 2017 to 372 in the year of 2018. However, as at 31 October 2019, we noted that there were only 142 new listings and 280 listing applications received since 1 January 2019, being comparatively less than that as at 31 October 2018 where 195 new listings and 333 listing applications were received since 1 January 2018, representing a decrease of approximately 27.1% and 15.9% respectively. The downward trend in both the number of listing applications and new listings may suggest a reducing growth in the financial printing services industry in Hong Kong as less orders relating to IPO may be received for the year ending 31 March 2020.

We also noted from a publication titled “Printing Industry in Hong Kong” by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council in September 2019, that the performance of Hong Kong’s total exports have maintained stable at approximately HK$16,802 million and HK$16,665 million for 2017 and 2018 respectively which represent a slight decrease of approximately 0.8%. A large share of the export business is attributable to orders received directly from overseas countries, and mainly handled by larger printers or dealers who have established business relationships with overseas customers. Furthermore, emerging trends in the printing industry are the result of new technology such as combining various pre-press and post-production activities as well as automated workflow in order to improve accuracy and reduce time and cost. Customers are moving towards ordering online which allows for higher flexibility and efficiency.

According to the Quarterly Report of Wage and Payroll Statistics issued by the Census and Statistics Department of the Hong Kong Government issued in September 2019, the Nominal Wage Index increased by 3.8% in June 2019 from June 2018. In the section of “Professional and business services”, we noted that the nominal wage index has increased by 3.9% in June 2019 from June 2018. In addition, the statutory minimum wage rate has raised from HK$34.5 per hour to HK$37.5 per hour with effect from 1 May 2019. We expected that the statutory minimum wage will be reviewed and revised in a specific period. It is expected that the increasing salary would increase the staff cost of the Group for the year ending 31 March 2020.

LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL

Rental expenses is one of the key components of cost of services for all the participants in the financial printing services industry. As disclosed by the Rating and Valuation Department of the Hong Kong Government, the average rents of private office spaces of all grades in the same available Hong Kong districts has increased from approximately HK$652/m² per month in December 2017 to approximately HK$739/m² per month in December 2018. According to the latest available public information, the average rents of private office spaces of all grades in the available Hong Kong districts has increased from approximately HK$696/m² per month in September 2018 to approximately HK$769/m² per month in September 2019. It is expected that the increasing trend of rents would increase the operating costs of the Group for the year ending 31 March 2020.

Taking into consideration the factors as mentioned above, we are of the opinion that the future prospect of the Group remains challenging.

4. Information of the Offeror

Reference is made to the section headed “Information of the Offeror” in the “Letter from VBG Capital” of the Composite Document.

The Offeror is a company incorporated in the BVI with limited liability and is owned as to 51% by Mr. Wu and as to 49% by Mr. Liang. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the directors of the Offeror are Mr. Wu and Mr. Liang.

LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL

Mr. Liang, aged 38, obtained his bachelor of business administration, marketing from the University of Regina, Canada in 2007. Mr. Liang has been the chairman of 廣州市番禺區邦騰化工有限公司 (transliterated in English as Guangzhou Panyu District Bangteng Chemical Industry Limited), a company that is principally engaged in the production of industrial unsaturated resin, paints and powder coating since 2007. Mr. Liang has also been the chairman of 廣州番禺區宏豪投資有限公司 (transliterated in English as Guangzhou Panyu District Honghao Investment Limited), a company that is principally engaged in the provision of investment consultancy service and property management since 2018. Mr. Liang does not have any experience in the provision of printing services.

Although the Offeror and its ultimate beneficial shareholders have had investment and management experience in various industries in Singapore and the PRC, the Offeror does not possess previous experience in the provision of printing services in Hong Kong in which the Group is engaged, and therefore we are of the view that there remains uncertainty on the future performance of the Group under the management of new controlling shareholder (i.e. the Offeror).

5. Intention of the Offeror in relation to the Group

(i) Business

Reference is made to the section headed “Intention of the Offeror in relation to the Group” in the “Letter from VBG Capital” of the Composite Document.

Subject to the results of the review, the Offeror may explore other business opportunities for the Company and consider whether any asset disposals, asset acquisitions, business rationalisation, business divestment, fund raising, restructuring of the business and/or business diversification will be appropriate in order to enhance long-term growth

potential of the Group. Subject to the applicable laws, regulations and rules, the Board will assess any proposals of the Offeror and render reasonable support to those proposals which are in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

Notwithstanding the above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror had no intention, understanding, negotiation or arrangement (concluded or otherwise) to downsize, cease or dispose of any of the existing businesses of the Group. No investment or business opportunity has been identified nor has the Offeror entered into any agreements, arrangements, understandings or negotiations in relation to the injection of any assets or business into the Group, and the Offeror has no intention to discontinue the employment of the employees (save for the change in the composition of the Board) or to dispose of or redeploy the assets of the Group other than those in its ordinary course of business.

(ii) Proposed Change of Board Composition

Reference is made to section headed “Proposed Change of Board Composition” in the “Letter from VBG Capital” of the Composite Document.

The Board is currently made up of five Directors, comprising two executive Directors, being Mr. So Wing Keung and Mr. Leung Shu Kin, and three independent non-executive Directors, being Mr. Kwong Chi Wing, Mr. Chan Ka Yeung, and Mr. Tam Ka Hei Raymond.

The Offeror intends to nominate new Directors who will have the relevant knowledge and experience for appointment after the close of the Offer with effect from a date which is no earlier than such date as permitted under Rule 26.4 of the Takeovers Code.

Any changes to the Board will be made in compliance with the Takeovers Code and the GEM Listing Rules. Further announcement(s) will be made upon any resignation and appointment of the Directors becoming effective.

LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL

(iii) Maintaining the listing status of the Company

Reference is made to section headed “Maintaining the Listing Status of the Company” in the “Letter from VBG Capital” of the Composite Document.

The Stock Exchange has stated that if, at the close of the Offer, less than the minimum prescribed percentage applicable to the Company, being 25% of the issued Shares, are held by the public or if the Stock Exchange believes that (i) a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the Shares; or (ii) there are insufficient Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market, it will consider exercising its discretion to suspend trading in the Shares until the prescribed level of public float is restored.

The Offeror intends to maintain the listing status of the Shares on GEM after the close of the Offer. The directors of the Offeror have jointly and severally undertaken to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float exists in the Shares after the close of the Offer. The new Directors to be appointed to the Board will jointly and severally undertake to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float exists in the Shares after the close of the Offer.

As the Company and the Offeror are unable to ascertain at this stage the level of acceptances by Independent Shareholders under the Offer, they have not decided the exact steps/ actions that will be taken by them after the close of the Offer to restore the public float of the Shares, if required. Notwithstanding this, the Company and the Offeror consider that the appropriate actions to be taken shall include placing down of sufficient number of accepted Shares by the Offeror and/or issue of new Shares by the Company for this purpose. The Company and the Offeror will issue a separate announcement as and when necessary in this regard.

----- End of picture text -----

As shown in the chart above, the highest and lowest closing prices of the Shares during the Review Period were HK$0.72 on 26 April 2019 and HK$0.15 from 2 to 3 April 2019 respectively. The Offer Price therefore represents a discount of approximately 54.9% to the highest closing price of the Shares and a premium of approximately 112.4% over the lowest closing price of the Shares during the Review Period.

At the start of the Review Period, the closing price of the Share showed a decreasing trend from HK$0.30 on 14 November 2018 and reaching the lowest closing price of HK$0.15 from 2 to 3 April 2019 during the Review Period.

Following the lowest closing price, the closing price of the Share maintained not more than HK$0.20 until suddenly rising to HK$0.72 on 26 April 2019, before gradually falling back to HK$0.20 on 28 May 2019. After having made enquiry with the Company, the Company was unaware of any reasons for the surge in the prices of the Shares during the period leading to 26 April 2019.

The closing price of the Share maintained not more than HK$0.28 until the trading halt and publication of announcement regarding possible transfer of sale shares by the potential vendor to potential purchaser under Rule 3.7 of the Takeovers Code on 2 July 2019. We noted an increasing trend on the daily closing price up until 5 November 2019. As informed by the Company, such reason might be due to the comparatively smaller loss of approximately

— IFA-15 —

LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL

HK$0.9 million for the three months ended 30 June 2019 compared to the loss of approximately HK$4.4 million for the three months ended 30 June 2018 in the first quarterly results announcement published by the Company on 9 August 2019.

We noted that the Offer Price of HK$0.325 represents a discount of approximately 54.9% to the highest closing price of the Shares and a premium of approximately 112.4% over the lowest closing price of the Shares during the Review Period.

Since the publication of the Joint Announcement and up to the trading day immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date (the “ Post-Announcement Period ”), we noted that the closing prices of the Shares have maintained at a range from HK$0.325 to HK$0.355 per Share, representing the same amount and a premium of approximately 9.2% respectively over the Offer Price. Given that the slight premium in the prices of the Share occurred during the PostAnnouncement Period after the publication of the Joint Announcement and the Company also did not announce any other significant news during the PostAnnouncement Period, we are of the view that the slight premium in the prices of the Shares was highly likely due to the news and market reaction of the Offer as disclosed in the Joint Announcement. In this connection, we consider that in the absence of any significant positive events and the Offer, there is no assurance that the closing prices of the Shares will continue to rise or maintain at a level equal to or above the Offer Price after the Latest Practicable Date or after closing of the Offer. Accordingly, we also consider the price trend prior to the publication of the Joint Announcement in the Pre-Announcement Period to more appropriately reflect the general price trend of the Company.

Based on the aforesaid analysis, we considered that (i) the closing prices have been fluctuating, with the Offer Price being above the closing prices of the Shares for 165 out of 266 trading days within the Review Period; (ii) the Offer Price represents a premium of approximately 63.0% over the unaudited consolidated net assets of the Company of approximately HK$0.199 per Share as at 30 September 2019 (being the date to which the latest unaudited consolidated interim results of the Group were made up), calculated based on the Group’s unaudited consolidated net assets attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$87,730,000 as at 30 September 2019 and 440,000,000 Shares in issue as at 13 November 2019; and (iii) there is a sharp increase in the closing prices of the Shares in the Post-Announcement Period which, other than potentially being the market reaction to the change in controlling shareholder, the Directors were unaware of any other factors for the surge in the prices of the Shares in the Post-Announcement Period and there is no assurance on the future price level.

Notes:

  • (1) Average daily trading volume is calculated by dividing the total trading volume for the month/period by the number of trading days during the month/period which excludes any trading day on which trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange was suspended for the whole trading day.

  • (2) Total trading volume for the month/period is sourced from the website of the Stock Exchange.

  • (3) Percentage of the average daily trading volume of the Share is calculated by divided by the number of Shares held by the public Shareholders as at the Latest Practicable Date. In the content of this section, the number of Shares held by public Shareholders means the total issued share capital of the Company less the Shares held by the controlling shareholders.

  • (4) The total number of Shares held by Public is calculated based on the number of the total issued Shares.

  • (5) Since the beginning of the Review Period, i.e. 14 November 2018.

  • (6) Up to the Latest Practicable Date.

  • (7) There was surge in trading volume in November 2018, which was substantially higher than the rest of the month. The Directors were not aware of any reasons for the surge in the trading volume in November 2018.

As illustrated from the above table, the average daily trading volume of the Shares during the Review Period ranged from approximately 152,267 Shares to approximately 28,553,538 Shares, representing approximately 0.03% and approximately 6.49% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the corresponding month respectively, and approximately 0.14% and 25.96% of the total number of Shares held by the public Shareholders. The average daily trading volume of Shares during the Review Period was generally thin.

Given the relatively low historical average daily trading volume of the Shares, it is uncertain that the overall liquidity of the Shares could be maintained and that there would be sufficient liquidity in the Shares for the Independent Shareholders to dispose of a significant number of Shares in the open market without exerting a downward pressure on the Share price. We, therefore, consider that the Offer provides the Independent Shareholders with an assured exit if they wish to realise their investments in the Shares.

9. Comparable analysis

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Offer Price, we have conducted a research to identify comparable companies listed on the Stock Exchange which are primarily engaged in businesses similar to those of the Group based on the criteria that the comparable companies will need to be (i) engaged in provision of commercial printing and financial printing services in Hong Kong; (ii) having all its revenues being generated from the provision of the aforementioned printing services; (iii) having a market capitalization below HK$300 million in view of that the market capitalisation of the Company was approximately HK$143 million as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (iv) recorded loss for their latest respective financial year. We consider it appropriate to set a market capitalisation of the Comparables of no more than HK$300 million, having considered the market capitalisation of the Company of approximately HK$143 million based on the Offer Price, as this enables a more levelled comparison against the Company while still obtaining a sufficient number of Comparables.

In this regard, we have identified four companies based on our research on the website of the Stock Exchange in accordance with the first three criteria, namely REF Holdings Limited (HKEX:1631), A.Plus Group Holdings Limited (HKEX:1841), HM International Holdings Limited (HKEX:8416) and EDICO Holdings Limited (HKEX:8450). However, we are of the view that none of the mentioned companies may be applicable in assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Offer Price as they have been profit-making for their latest respective financial year.

Given that there were no companies identified to match all criteria which we consider to be exhaustive and necessary, we are of the view that a comparable analysis may not be applicable in assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Offer Price.

LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL

10. Recommendation

Taking into consideration the abovementioned factors and reasons for the Offer, in particular:

  • (i) the Group recorded a loss attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$8.8 million and approximately HK$7.7 million for the two years ended 31 March 2018 and 2019 mainly due to, other than the factor of listing expenses, (i) reduction in the orders from customers for commercial printing services because of the increasing concern on environmental protection, the popularity of digitalization of information, the rise of online marketing, social media and globalization; and (ii) the additional administrative and other operating expenses including directors’ emoluments and professional fees after the listing;

  • (ii) there are uncertainties in the management of the Group given that the new controlling shareholder of the Group do not have any previous experience in the current principal business of the Group;

  • (iii) the Offer price is above the closing prices of the Shares for 164 out of 268 trading days within the Review Period and represents a premium of approximately 63.0% over the unaudited consolidated net assets of the Company of approximately HK$0.199 per Share as at 30 September 2019 (being the date to which the latest unaudited consolidated interim results of the Group were made up), calculated based on the Group’s unaudited consolidated net assets attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$87,730,000 as at 30 September 2019 and 440,000,000 Shares in issue as at 13 November 2019; and

  • (iv) the Offer represents an opportunity for Shareholders to realise their investment since Shareholders may not be able to dispose of large quantities of Shares without exerting downward pressure on the trading price of Shares in the open market given the low liquidity of the Shares.

We are of the view that the terms of the Offer are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to accept the Offer.

— IFA-20 —

LETTER FROM VINCO CAPITAL

The Independent Shareholders, in particular those who intend to accept the Offer, are reminded to note the recent fluctuation in the price of the Shares. Since Post-Announcement Period, the Share price has ranged from the same amount to higher than the Offer Price. As such, we would like to remind the Independent Shareholders to closely monitor the market price and liquidity of the Shares during the Offer Period, and consider selling their Shares in the open market, if the net proceeds from the sale of such Shares in the market would exceed the net proceeds receivable under the Offer. Nevertheless, given that the trading volume of the Shares has been relatively low during the Review Period, Independent Shareholders should be mindful as to whether there will be sufficient liquidity in the Shares for the Independent Shareholders who wish to realise part or all of their investments in the Company at the prevailing market price of the Shares and whether their disposal of the Shares will exert a downward pressure on the market price of the Shares.

The Independent Shareholders are also reminded that their decisions to dispose or hold their investments in the Shares are subject to their individual circumstances and investment objectives and they are reminded to carefully (i) monitor the stock market and the trading price and liquidity of the Shares before the end of the Offer and consider selling their Shares in the open market, where possible, rather than accepting the Offer if the net proceeds from the market sale of their Shares after deducting all transaction costs are more than the net amount to be received under the Offer; and (ii) evaluate the future prospects of the Group. The Independent Shareholders should read carefully the procedures for accepting the Offer as detailed in the Composite Document, the appendices to the Composite Document and the Form of Acceptance, if they wish to accept the Offer.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of

Vinco Capital Limited
