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 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.

The PRC Contractual Entities hold certain licences and permits required for the operation of abovementioned principal business (including The Permit to Produce and Distribute Radio or Television Programs and operate as a performance brokerage enterprise with the relevant licence). According to the Guidance Catalogue of Industries for Foreign Investment (2015 Version), radio and television program production and operating companies falls within the prohibited foreign-invested industry, and the production of television programs (limited to Chinese-foreign contractual joint ventures) and performance brokerage fall within the restricted foreign-invested industry. The principal activities of the Group are provision of program production and event organisation services in the PRC, the sectors where foreign investment is subject to significant restrictions under PRC laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Group cannot directly acquire any equity interest in the PRC Contractual Entities, which hold certain licences and permits required for the operation of the principal business of the Group.

In order to achieve the Group’s business purposes and be in line with common practice in industries in the PRC subject to foreign investment restrictions, on 18 May 2015, New Talent Media Company Limited (北京聚視文化傳媒有限公司) (“ New Talent Media* ”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Contractual Arrangements narrowly tailored to provide New Talent Media with control over the PRC Contractual Entities and grant New Talent Media the right to acquire the equity interests of the PRC Contractual Entities when and to the extent permitted by the PRC laws and regulations.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

First Voting Agreement

At the time of preparing the Company’s listing application in 2015, the Company’s PRC legal advisers at that time advised that, with respective to the then existing VIE structures (including in restricted and prohibited business), the relevant opinions of the governmental authorities inclined to allow foreign-invested enterprise controlled by PRC investors to continue to retain the VIE structure under the Draft Foreign Investment Law.

In order to maintain and enhance the control over the Company for the purpose of satisfying the Draft Foreign Investment Law, Mr. Yang, Ms. Mou, Youth Success, Mr. Li Lin, Alpha Master, Ms. Yang Qi, Qiao Tian, Mr. Wang Yong and Goldbless entered into the First Voting Agreement on 8 November 2015, pursuant to which, among other things,

  • (i) each of Mr. Li Lin and Ms. Yang Qi irrevocably agrees to, through their respective holding company, namely Alpha Master and Qiao Tian, delegate to Youth Success and authorise Youth Success to exercise the voting rights attached to all of the Shares indirectly held by him/her;

  • (iv) the First Voting Agreement could only be terminated by Mr. Yang and Ms. Mou unilaterally and in their sole discretion.

As a result of entering into the arrangements under the First Voting Agreement, Mr. Li Lin, Ms. Yang Qi and Mr. Wang Yong do not hold any voting rights in Shares of the Company. As Mr. Li Lin, Ms. Yang Qi and Mr. Wang Yong have no control of the Company, none of them is a controlling shareholder of the Company.

By virtue of the First Voting Agreement, Youth Success controlled over 50% of the voting rights attached to the issued Shares of the Company upon the listing and could be regarded under the Draft Foreign Investment Law as having the control of the Company with not less than 50% voting rights, and hence capable of exerting decisive impact on the management decisions of the PRC Contractual Entities through the Contractual Arrangements, based on which, the Company’s PRC legal advisers at that time advised that the arrangements under the First Voting Agreement would significantly reduce the uncertainty when carrying out the “control” test under the Draft Foreign Investment Law

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Fourth Voting Agreement

On 19 June 2023, the Company and Mr. Tan Koon Aik, an Independent Third Party, entered into a share subscription agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Tan Koon Aik agreed to subscribe for, and the Company agreed to allot and issue 44,671,963 new Shares at a subscription price of HK$0.214 per Share.

In order to maintain Youth Success’s control of over 50% of the voting rights attached to the issued Shares of the Company for compliance with the Control Undertakings, a shareholders voting agreement was entered into among Mr. Yang, Ms. Mou, Youth Success and Mr. Tan Koon Aik on 18 September 2023, pursuant to which, among other things, Youth Success was irrevocably entrusted with and authorised to exercise the voting rights attached to all of the Shares held by Mr. Tan Koon Aik (either indirectly through his holding company(ies) or directly held by himself). As such, Youth Success is deemed to be interested in the Shares directly or indirectly held by Mr. Tan Koon Aik by virtue of the SFO.

The Board’s view on the shareholders voting agreements and Control Undertakings

The Control Undertakings, the Company’s undertaking with the Stock Exchange to enforce the Control Undertakings and the First Voting Agreement have remained effective and validly in force since the listing of the Company in 2015. The Company views it necessary to ensure ongoing compliance with the relevant undertakings.

The Control Undertakings and First Voting Agreement can only be terminated by Mr. Yang and Ms. Mou unilaterally and in their sole discretion. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not been informed of any intention of Mr. Yang and Ms. Mou to terminate the Control Undertakings and First Voting Agreement.

The Control Undertakings and existing shareholders voting agreements can consolidate the controlling shareholders’ interest and maintain their control in the Company. The Company believes that a stable controlling shareholding structure demonstrates to the public a long-term commitment of the controlling Shareholders to the Company and its success. In the event that the Control Undertakings and existing shareholders voting agreements are terminated, the Company will no longer have any controlling shareholder, which could have adverse impact on the trading price of the Shares of the Company and undermine the investors’ confidence in the Company.

Based on the above, the Board believes that the existing arrangements in respect of the shareholders voting agreements and Control Undertakings are in the best interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

30 November 2023

  • To: the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of Creative China Holdings Limited

Dear Sir or Madam,

CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS IN RELATION TO PROPOSED ISSUE OF NEW SHARES UNDER SPECIFIC MANDATES

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the “ Letter from the Board ”) contained in the circular of the Company dated 30 November 2023 (the “ Circular ”) to the Shareholders, of which this letter forms part. Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 10 November 2023 in relation to the Subscriptions. On 10 November 2023 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), (i) the Company and Mr. Ang entered into the AYY Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Ang has conditionally agreed to subscribe for, and the Company has conditionally agreed to allot and issue 35,990,566 AYY Subscription Shares at a subscription price of HK$0.53 per AYY Subscription Share; and (ii) the Company and Mr. Sia entered into the SWS Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Sia has conditionally agreed to subscribe for, and the Company has conditionally agreed to allot and issue 19,188,679 SWS Subscription Shares at a subscription price of HK$0.53 per SWS Subscription Share.

Referring to the Letter from the Board, each of Mr. Ang and Mr. Sia is required to enter into a Voting Agreement with Youth Success, Mr. Yang and Ms. Mou on the AYY Subscription Completion Date under the AYY Subscription Agreement and on the SWS Subscription Completion Date under the SWS Subscription Agreement, respectively. By entering into the Voting Agreements, Youth Success shall be entitled to exercise voting rights attached to all the

– 30 –

LETTER FROM JUN HUI INTERNATIONAL

Shares held by the Subscribers. As Youth Success, Mr. Yang and Ms. Mou are the controlling shareholders of the Company and are therefore connected persons of the Company, the entering into of transactions under the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute connected transactions of the Company and are subject to the reporting, announcement and the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Concert Group, being interested in the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, shall abstain from voting on the resolutions of the Company approving the said transactions (including the grant of the Specific Mandates). To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, save as disclosed above, no other Shareholder has a material interest in the said transactions (including the grant of the Specific Mandates) and shall be required to abstain from voting at the EGM in respect of the resolutions to approve the said transactions (including the grant of the Specific Mandates). As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Concert Group was interested in an aggregate of 287,002,113 Shares, representing approximately 60.65% of the issued share capital of the Company.

The Independent Board Committee comprising all independent non-executive Directors, namely Ms. Fu Yuehong, Mr. Yau Yan Yuen and Mr. Wang Xinghua, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders as to (i) the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (ii) how to vote at the EGM, after taking into account the factors and reasons considered by the Independent Financial Adviser and its conclusion and advice.

In this connection, we, Jun Hui International, have been appointed by the Company to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder. We do not, by this letter, warrant the merits of the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, other than to form an opinion, for the purpose of the GEM Listing Rules. Within the two years prior to the Latest Practicable Date, we were engaged as an independent financial adviser to the then independent board committee and independent shareholders of the Company with respect to (i) connected transactions in relation to (I) subscription of new shares under specific mandate; and (II) issue of convertible bonds under specific mandate, details of which are set out in the circular of the Company dated 27 June 2023; and (ii) connected transactions in relation to (I) subscription of new shares under specific mandate; and (II) issue of convertible bonds under specific mandate, details of which are set out in the circular of the Company dated 24 July 2023. Other than that, we did not have any relationships with, or have any interests in the Company, the Subscribers or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. Apart from normal professional fees payable to us for the aforesaid appointments and this appointment, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees or benefits from any party abovementioned. Accordingly, we consider that we are independent pursuant to Rule 17.96 of the GEM Listing Rules and are eligible to give independent advice in respect of the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

LETTER FROM JUN HUI INTERNATIONAL

III. The Subscription Agreements

(i) The AYY Subscription Agreement

1. Information of Mr. Ang

As stated in the Letter from the Board, Mr. Ang is an individual investor who is a Malaysian resident. As confirmed by the Directors, (i) Mr. Ang is an Independent Third Party and (ii) Mr. Ang is independent of Mr. Sia, the subscriber in the SWS Subscription.

2. Reasons for entering into the AYY Subscription Agreement

The Group is principally engaged in (i) serial program/film production and related services and film rights investment; (ii) concert and event organisation and related services; (iii) mobile application development and operation and related services; and (iv) artist management. As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Company intends to apply the net proceeds of the AYY Subscription of approximately RMB15,955,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$17,390,950) in the following manner: (i) approximately 70.00% of the net proceeds to the production of serial programs and films and related services, and film rights investment; and (ii) approximately 30.00% of the net proceeds will be used for the general working capital of the Group. The Board considered that the AYY Subscription represents an opportunity to raise additional capital for the production of serial programs and films, provision of related services and film rights investment. It will maintain the Group’s working capital and business operation, enlarge the shareholders and capital base of the Company and strengthen the financial position of the Group.

As illustrated in the section headed “Background and financial information of the Group” above in this letter, for the years ended 31 December 2021 and 2022 and the nine months ended 30 September 2023, the Group’s revenue derived from serial program/film production and film distribution and income rights amounted to approximately RMB40.4 million, RMB143.9 million and RMB106.3 million, accounting for approximately 68.1%, 94.3% and 89.5% of the Group’s revenue, respectively. As advised by the Directors, serial program/film production and film distribution and income rights have been the major revenue stream of the Group and they are optimistic about the prospects of the segment in view of the outlook of the film industry in the PRC. We note from the statistics released by the China Film Administration (國家電影局) that the box office revenue in the PRC reached approximately RMB30.1 billion in 2022, as compared to approximately RMB20.4 billion in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately 21.5%. It is further disclosed in Third Quarterly Report 2023 that the Group will continue to pursue adaptation, creation and pre-production planning of films and television programs, as well as the

– 37 –

LETTER FROM JUN HUI INTERNATIONAL

distribution and licensing of broadcasting rights of serial programs, online dramas and movies. We consider that the proposed use of proceeds from the AYY Subscription is in line with the principal business and strategy of the Group.

As further advised by the Directors, the additional fund raised under the AYY Subscription could further support the Group in the serial program/film production and film distribution and income rights. We are furnished by the Company with two agreements entered into by the Group with independent vendors in September 2023 in relation to the acquisition of copyrights of films in the PRC (the “ Copyrights Transfer Agreements ”) by the Group, which demonstrate the funding needs of the Group. We agree with the Directors that the fund raised under the AYY Subscription could serve for its business need.

The AYY Subscription could improve the Group’s liquidity. As referred to the section headed “Financial effects of the AYY Subscription Agreement” below in this letter, upon AYY Subscription Completion, it is expected that both the net assets and bank balances and cash of the Group will increase by approximately RMB16.0 million, being the estimated aggregate net proceeds of the AYY Subscription.

In addition, we are given to understand from the Directors that they considered raising funds by way of allotment and issue of the AYY Subscription Shares shall enable the Company to obtain funds at a lower cost, as compared to other alternative fund raising methods since (i) bank borrowings may involve higher time cost due to lengthy due diligence and negotiations with commercial banks; and (ii) rights issue or open offer will involve additional costs such as underwriting fees as compared to the equity financing by way of allotment and issue of new Shares. We agree with the Directors that the allotment and issue of new Shares shall be an appropriate mean of raising additional capital for the Company in view of the lower cost involved.

Having considered the aforesaid reasons, including (i) the proposed use of proceeds from the AYY Subscription is in line with the principal business and strategy of the Group; (ii) the fund raised under the AYY Subscription could be utilised to support the Group’s serial program/film production and film distribution and income rights; (iii) the AYY Subscription could improve the Group’s liquidity; (iv) the AYY Subscription could enlarge the shareholders and capital base of the Company as considered by the Directors; and (v) the allotment and issue of new Shares is considered as an appropriate mean of raising additional capital for the Company in view of the lower cost involved, we agree with the Directors that the entering into of the AYY Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, Mr. Sia is an individual investor who is a Singaporean resident. As confirmed by the Directors, (i) Mr. Sia is an Independent Third Party and (ii) Mr. Sia is independent of Mr. Ang, the subscriber in the AYY Subscription.

2. Reasons for entering into the SWS Subscription Agreement

The Group is principally engaged in (i) serial program/film production and related services and film rights investment; (ii) concert and event organisation and related services; (iii) mobile application development and operation and related services; and (iv) artist management. As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Company intends to apply the net proceeds of the SWS Subscription of approximately RMB8,498,000 (equivalent to HK$9,262,820) in the following manner: (i) approximately 70.00% of the net proceeds to the production of serial programs and films and related services, and film rights investment; and (ii) approximately 30.00% of the net proceeds will be used for the general working capital of the Group. The Board considered that the SWS Subscription represents an opportunity to raise additional capital for the production of serial programs and films, provision of related services and film rights investment. It will maintain the Group’s working capital and business operation, enlarge the shareholders and capital base of the Company and strengthen the financial position of the Group.

As previously illustrated in this letter, the Group’s revenue from serial program/film production and film distribution and income rights accounted for approximately 68.1%, 94.3% and 89.5% of the Group’s revenue for the years ended 31 December 2021 and 2022 and the nine months ended 30 September 2023, respectively, which have been the major revenue stream of the Group. The Directors are optimistic about the prospects of the segment, and the Group will continue to pursue adaptation, creation and pre-production planning of films and television programs, as well as the distribution and licensing of broadcasting

LETTER FROM JUN HUI INTERNATIONAL

rights of serial programs, online dramas and movies. We therefore consider that the proposed use of proceeds from the SWS Subscription is in line with the principal business and strategy of the Group.

As further advised by the Directors, the additional fund raised under the SWS Subscription could further support the Group in the serial program/film production and film distribution and income rights. As mentioned above, we are furnished by the Company with the Copyrights Transfer Agreements, which demonstrate the funding needs of the Group. We agree with the Directors that the fund raised under the SWS Subscription could serve for its business need.

The SWS Subscription could improve the Group’s liquidity. As referred to the section headed “Financial effects of the SWS Subscription Agreement” below in this letter, upon SWS Subscription Completion, it is expected that both the net assets and bank balances and cash of the Group will increase by approximately RMB8.5 million, being the estimated aggregate net proceeds of the SWS Subscription.

In addition, we are given to understand from the Directors that they considered raising funds by way of allotment and issue of the SWS Subscription Shares shall enable the Company to obtain funds at a lower cost, as compared to other alternative fund raising methods since (i) bank borrowings may involve higher time cost due to lengthy due diligence and negotiations with commercial banks; and (ii) rights issue or open offer will involve additional costs such as underwriting fees as compared to the equity financing by way of allotment and issue of new Shares. We agree with the Directors that the allotment and issue of new Shares shall be an appropriate mean of raising additional capital for the Company in view of the lower cost involved.

Having considered the aforesaid reasons, including (i) the proposed use of proceeds from the SWS Subscription is in line with the principal business and strategy of the Group; (ii) the fund raised under the SWS Subscription could be utilised to support the Group’s serial program/film production and film distribution and income rights; (iii) the SWS Subscription could improve the Group’s liquidity; (iv) the SWS Subscription could enlarge the shareholders and capital base of the Company as considered by the Directors; and (v) the allotment and issue of new Shares is considered as an appropriate mean of raising additional capital for the Company in view of the lower cost involved, we agree with the Directors that the entering into of the SWS Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM JUN HUI INTERNATIONAL

Subscription price:

HK$0.53 per SWS Subscription Share (the “ SWS Subscription Price ”), representing:

  • (1) a discount of approximately 10.17% to the closing price of HK$0.59 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the SWS Subscription Agreement;

  • (2) a discount of approximately 7.99% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.576 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days of the Shares immediately prior to the date of the SWS Subscription Agreement; and

As advised by the Directors, the SWS Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and Mr. Sia with reference to the recent trading price and trading volume of the Shares. The Directors consider that the terms and conditions of the SWS Subscription Agreement (including the SWS Subscription Price) are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

For further details and terms of the SWS Subscription Agreement, please refer to the Letter from the Board.

4. Financial effects of the SWS Subscription Agreement

Based on our discussion with and the representation from the Directors, we understand from the Directors that they have taken into account the following factors when they considered the potential impact of the SWS Subscription Agreement on the financial positions of the Group.

According to Annual Report 2022, the net assets and bank balances and cash of the Group amounted to approximately RMB177.7 million and RMB24.0 million as at 31 December 2022, respectively. Upon SWS Subscription

LETTER FROM JUN HUI INTERNATIONAL

Completion, it is expected that both the net assets and bank balances and cash of the Group will increase by the same amount of approximately RMB8.5 million, being the estimated aggregate net proceeds of the SWS Subscription. The SWS Subscription is expected to have a positive impact on the Group’s financial positions.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purpose only and do not purport to represent how the financial positions of the Group will be upon SWS Subscription Completion.

(iii) Our analysis on the terms of the Subscription Agreements

(a) Share prices

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the AYY Subscription Price and the SWS Subscription Price, we reviewed the daily closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the Review Period. We consider that the Review Period which covers a full year prior to and including the date of the Subscription Agreements represents a reasonable and sufficient period to provide a general overview of the recent price performance of the Shares.

As illustrated in the chart under the section headed “Historical price and trading performance of the Shares – Share prices” above in this letter, the closing prices of the Shares were between a low of HK$0.178 per Share on 9 May 2023 and a high of HK$1.550 per Share on 12 July 2023, with an average closing price of approximately HK$0.460 per Share during the Review Period. We note that the AYY Subscription Price and the SWS Subscription Price (collectively, the “ Subscription Price ”) of HK$0.530 per Subscription Share is within the range of the daily closing prices of the Shares during the Review Period. The Subscription Price is also at a level higher than the average closing price of the Shares during the Review Period, which is fair to the Company.

(b) Trading volumes

As illustrated in the table under the section headed “Historical price and trading performance of the Shares – Trading volumes” above in this letter, it is noted that the average daily trading volume of the Shares per relevant month/period accounted for only a small portion of the total number of issued Shares as at the end of the relevant month/period, which ranges from approximately 0.001% to 0.192% during the Review Period. Given the relatively low liquidity of the Shares as illustrated above, it is considered justifiable to set the Subscription Price at a discount to the prevailing market price of the Shares as a discounted issue price shall be more attractive to investor(s).

LETTER FROM JUN HUI INTERNATIONAL

(c) Comparable analysis

To further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have reviewed comparable transactions involving subscription of new shares by independent third party(ies) or connected person(s) under specific mandate, announced by companies listed on the Stock Exchange (other than the Company) in the past 12 months immediately preceding the date of the Subscription Agreements but excluding issues of shares as part of consideration in acquisition or under loan or debt capitalisation or share award or restricted stock unit scheme (the “ Comparable Transactions ”). We have, to our best effort and so far as we are aware, identified 23 Comparable Transactions which we consider to be exhaustive. We consider the following list of the Comparable Transactions is fair, representative and comparable to the Subscription Agreements, taking into account that (i) they involve the same type of transaction as the entering into of the Subscription Agreements, i.e. the subscription of new shares under specific mandate by listed companies on the Stock Exchange, which could facilitate meaningful comparison purpose. The selection of the Comparable Transactions without considering the connected relationship of the subscriber(s) with the listed companies could instead provide a more balanced and comprehensive reference as terms given to connected person(s) shall be no more favourable than terms given to independent third party(ies) under the general regulatory framework; (ii) the 12-month period immediately prior to the date of the Subscription Agreements represents a reasonable and meaningful time period to capture the recent market practice for the said transaction; and (iii) a list of 23 Comparable Transactions identified in accordance with the aforesaid selection criteria shall be adequate to provide a general reference for comparison purpose. Independent Shareholders should note that the businesses, operations and prospects of the Group may not be the same as, or vary from, those of the listed companies conducting the Comparable Transactions, and the Comparable Transactions set out below are for the purpose of providing a general insight on the terms in respect of the subscription of new shares under specific mandate during the said 12 months’ period. Details of the Comparable Transactions are set out below:

Note: The company announced on the same date that it entered into relevant subscription agreements with both its connected person(s) and independent third party(ies) at the same subscription price. For illustrative purpose under this table, “Yes” is stated.

As illustrated in the table above, the subscription price per share issued under the Comparable Transactions ranged from (i) a discount of approximately 63.0% to a premium of approximately 65.3% over their respective closing price per share on the last trading day prior to or on the date of subscription agreement, with an average discount of approximately 10.6%; (ii) a discount of approximately 59.4% to a premium of approximately 67.5% over their respective average closing price per share for the last five trading days prior to or including the date of subscription agreement, with an average discount of approximately 8.5%; and (iii) a discount of approximately 62.3% to a premium of approximately 63.6% over their respective average closing price per share for the last ten trading days prior to or including the date of subscription agreement, with an average discount of approximately 8.5%.

We note that the discounts of the Subscription Price to the closing Share price on the date of the Subscription Agreements, the average for the last five trading days immediately prior to the date of the Subscription Agreements and the average for the last ten trading days immediately prior to the date of the Subscription Agreements, which were approximately 10.2%, 8.0% and 9.1%

LETTER FROM JUN HUI INTERNATIONAL

respectively, are within the respective range of the Comparable Transactions and are close to the averages of the Comparable Transactions as described above. We therefore consider that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable.

Having considered that (i) the Subscription Price is within the range of the daily closing prices of the Shares and is higher than the average closing price of the Shares during the Review Period, which is fair to the Company; (ii) the Shares had a relatively low liquidity during the Review Period and it is considered justifiable setting the Subscription Price at a discount to the prevailing market price of the Shares; (iii) the discounts of the Subscription Price are within the ranges of subscription prices of the Comparable Transactions and are close to the averages of the Comparable Transactions as illustrated above; (iv) the Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscribers with reference to the recent trading price and trading volume of the Shares as advised by the Directors; and (v) the reasons for entering into of the Subscription Agreements as mentioned previously in this letter, we are of the view that the terms of the Subscription Agreements are fair and reasonable, and the entering into of the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

IV. Potential dilution of the shareholding of the Company

As illustrated in the Letter from the Board, the shareholding of the existing public Shareholders as at the Latest Practicable Date was approximately 39.35%.

(i) Under the AYY Subscription Agreement

As referred to the Letter from the Board, the AYY Subscription Shares represent approximately 7.61% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and approximately 7.07% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the AYY Subscription Shares (assuming there are no other changes in the share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the AYY Subscription Completion Date). On such basis, the shareholding of existing public Shareholders will be diluted from approximately 39.35% to approximately 36.57% upon AYY Subscription Completion.

Taking into account (i) the reasons for entering into of the AYY Subscription Agreement as previously mentioned in this letter; (ii) the terms of the AYY Subscription Agreement are considered to be fair and reasonable and the entering into of the AYY Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; (iii) the AYY Subscription is expected to have a positive impact on the Group’s financial positions;

– 50 –

LETTER FROM JUN HUI INTERNATIONAL

and (iv) the dilution effect to the existing public Shareholders is relatively mild (i.e. around 2.78 percentage points), we consider that the dilution to the existing public Shareholders as a result of the AYY Subscription to be acceptable.

(ii) Under the SWS Subscription Agreement

As referred to the Letter from the Board, the SWS Subscription Shares represent approximately 4.06% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and approximately 3.90% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the SWS Subscription Shares (assuming there are no other changes in the share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the SWS Subscription Completion Date). On such basis, the shareholding of existing public Shareholders will be diluted from approximately 39.35% to approximately 37.82% upon SWS Subscription Completion.

Taking into account (i) the reasons for entering into of the SWS Subscription Agreement as previously mentioned in this letter; (ii) the terms of the SWS Subscription Agreement are considered to be fair and reasonable and the entering into of the SWS Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; (iii) the SWS Subscription is expected to have a positive impact on the Group’s financial positions; and (iv) the dilution effect to the existing public Shareholders is relatively mild (i.e. around 1.53 percentage points), we consider that the dilution to the existing public Shareholders as a result of the SWS Subscription to be acceptable.

(iii) Aggregate dilution effect

As referred to the Letter from the Board, the Subscription Shares (being the aggregate of the AYY Subscription Shares and the SWS Subscription Shares) represent approximately 11.66% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and approximately 10.44% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares (assuming there are no other changes in the share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the Subscription Completion Dates). On such basis, the shareholding of existing public Shareholders will be diluted from approximately 39.35% to approximately 35.24% upon Subscription Completion.

It is noted that the aggregate dilution effect to the existing public Shareholders arisen from the Subscription Agreements would be around 4.11 percentage points. In balance of consideration that (i) the reasons for entering into of the Subscription Agreements which could generally benefit the Group from the business and financial perspectives as previously discussed in this letter (under sub-sections (2) and (4) relating to each the AYY Subscription Agreement and the SWS Subscription Agreement), and the entering into of which are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole; (ii) the terms of each the AYY Subscription Agreement and the SWS Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable, which are also arrived

– 51 –

LETTER FROM JUN HUI INTERNATIONAL

at after arm’s length negotiations between relevant parties as confirmed by the Directors, we are of the view that the aggregate dilution effect to the existing public Shareholders is acceptable.

OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the abovementioned principal factors and reasons, although the entering into of the Subscription Agreements is not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, we are of the view that the terms of the Subscription Agreements are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the entering into of the Subscription Agreements is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. We therefore advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the entering into of the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of
