Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION OF ISSUED SHARES; AND SUB-DIVISION OF UNISSUED SHARES; AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 20 November 2023 and 8 December 2023 relating to the proposed Capital Reduction and Sub-division and Change in Board Lot Size.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in respect of the resolution to seek approval of the Shareholders at the EGM in respect of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division, and the information relating to the Change in Board Lot Size.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION OF ISSUED SHARES AND SUB-DIVISION OF UNISSUED SHARES
The Board proposes to implement the Capital Reduction involving the reduction of the par value of each of the issued Share from HK$0.40 to HK$0.01 by cancelling the paid-up capital to the extent of HK$0.39 per issued Share so that following such reduction, the par value of each issued New Share shall become HK$0.01. The credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be applied towards offsetting the Accumulated Losses as at the effective date of the Capital Reduction, thereby reducing the Accumulated Losses.
Immediately following the Capital Reduction becoming effective, each authorized but unissued Share will be sub-divided into forty (40) unissued New Shares with a par value of HK$0.01 each.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$100,000,000 divided into 250,000,000 Shares of par value HK$0.40 each, of which 129,600,000 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. The Board proposes the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division to be implemented in the following manner:
-
(i) the par value of each of the issued Shares be reduced from HK$0.40 to HK$0.01 per issued New Share by cancelling the paid-up share capital to the extent of HK$0.39 per issued Share;
-
(ii) the credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be applied towards offsetting the Accumulated Losses in a manner as permitted by all applicable laws and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and as the Board considers appropriate;
-
(iii) immediately following the Capital Reduction, each of the authorised but unissued Shares with par value of HK$0.40 each be sub-divided into 40 New Shares with par value of HK$0.01 each; and
-
(iv) each of the New Shares arising from the Capital Reduction and Sub-division shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other and will have rights and privileges and be subject to the restrictions contained in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.
5
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date on which the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division become effective, the share capital structure of the Company will be as follows:
| Immediately after | ||
|---|---|---|
| the Capital Reduction | ||
| As at the | and the Sub-division | |
| Latest Practicable Date | becoming effective | |
| Par value | HK$0.40 per Share | HK$0.01 per New Share |
| Amount of the authorized share capital | HK$100,000,000 | HK$100,000,000 |
| Number of authorized Shares | 250,000,000 | 10,000,000,000 |
| Number of issued Shares | 129,600,000 | 129,600,000 |
The Change in Board Lot Size shall be effective upon the Capital Reduction and Sub-division becoming effective, and after the Change in Board Lot Size becoming effective, the New Shares shall be traded in board lots of 12,000 New Shares. The New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, 129,600,000 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that the par value of each of the 129,600,000 issued Shares will be reduced from HK$0.40 to HK$0.01 per issued New Share by cancelling the paid-up share capital to the extent of HK$0.39 per issued Share by way of a reduction of capital, so as to form issued New Shares with par value of HK$0.01 each, the Company’s existing issued share capital of HK$51,840,000 will be reduced by HK$50,544,000 to HK$1,296,000.
Reasons for and effects of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division
The proposed Capital Reduction and Sub-division will enable the par value of the Shares to be reduced from HK$0.40 to HK$0.01 each. The credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be applied towards offsetting the Accumulated Losses as at the effective date of the Capital Reduction, thereby reducing the Accumulated Losses. As at 30 June 2023, the Accumulated Losses amounted to approximately HK$165,290,000.
The Board is of the opinion that the proposed Capital Reduction will give greater flexibility to the Company to declare dividends and/or to undertake any corporate exercise which requires the use of distributable reserves in the future, subject to the Company’s performance and when the Board considers that it is appropriate to do so in the future.
It is important for Shareholders to note that, at this stage, there can be no assurance that any dividends will be declared or paid in the future, or that the Company will issue New Shares, even if the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division take effect. As such, the Directors are of the view that the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
6
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Save for applying the credit arising from the Capital Reduction towards offsetting the Accumulated Losses and the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division, the Directors consider that the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division will have no effect on the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportional interests of the Shareholders in the Company.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to conduct any fundraising activities or carry out other corporate action or arrangement, including share consolidation, share sub-division and capital reduction, in the next 12 months. However, the Company cannot rule out the possibility of conducting equity fund raising exercises when required by business development and expansion in the future, relief of liabilities and/or when suitable fund-raising opportunities arise. The Company will make further announcement(s) as and when appropriate in accordance with the Listing Rules.
Conditions of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division
The Capital Reduction and the Sub-division are conditional on the following conditions being fulfilled:
-
(i) the Shareholders’ approval by way of special resolution at the EGM to be convened and held to consider and, if thought fit, approve, among other things, the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division;
-
(ii) an order being made by the Court confirming the Capital Reduction;
-
(iii) compliance with any conditions which the Court may impose in relation to the Capital Reduction;
-
(iv) registration by the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands of a copy of the order of the Court confirming the Capital Reduction and the minutes approved by the Court containing the particulars required under the Companies Act with respect to the Capital Reduction; and
-
(v) the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division.
None of the conditions above can be waived. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions have been fulfilled.
The Capital Reduction and the Sub-division will become effective when the conditions mentioned above are fulfilled. Upon the approval by the Shareholders of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division at the EGM, the legal advisors to the Company (as to the Cayman Islands law) will apply to the Court for hearing date(s) to confirm the Capital Reduction and a further announcement will be made by the Company as soon as practicable after the Court hearing date(s) is confirmed.
7
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Listing of and dealings in the New Shares
Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division.
The New Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu in all respects with each other as to all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange, the New Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the New Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.
None of the share capital or debt securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.
CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
The Board announces that subject to the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange will be changed from 4,000 Shares to 12,000 New Shares.
Pursuant to the “Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions” issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated on 1 October 2020 (the “ Guide ”), the expected board lot value should be no less than HK$2,000 after taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade. For the past six months, the share price of the Company has been trading at or below HK$0.5 for 67 days, with the market value of its existing board lot ranging from HK$1,604 to HK$3,200. Based on the closing price of HK$0.53 as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the market value of each existing board lot of 4,000 Shares is HK$2,120, which is just slightly above the said prescribed minimum expected board lot value. As the market value of the existing board lot of the Company has been only meeting the said prescribed expected minimum board lot value marginally most of the time, the Board therefore proposes to change the board lot size for trading of Shares from 4,000 Shares to 12,000 New Shares. Upon the Change in Board Lot Size becoming effective, the estimated market value per board lot of the New Shares will be HK$6,360 (based on the closing price of HK$0.53 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date).
The Board considers that the Change in Board Lot Size from 4,000 Shares to 12,000 New Shares will bring the value per board lot above the stipulated HK$2,000 per board lot level as set out in the Guide. If the Change in Board Lot Size to a larger number of New Shares, the entry amount of one board lot of New Shares may become too high and less attractive to existing Shareholders and/or potential investors and possibly leading to lower trading volume. The Board also believes that the Change in Board Lot Size may reduce transaction and handling costs of dealing in the New Shares, including those fees which are charged with reference to the number of board lots.
8
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Change in Board Lot Size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders. As no odd lots of the Shares will result from the aforesaid change in board lot size, no odd lot arrangement is required to be made to match the sales and purchases of odd lots. The Board considers that the Change in Board Lot Size to be in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
Exchange of share certificates for the New Shares
As the Court hearing date(s) has yet to be fixed, the effective date of the Capital Reduction is not ascertainable at present. Should the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division become effective, Shareholders may submit existing certificates (in red color) for the Shares to the Share Registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong for exchange, at the expense of the Company, within one month from the effective date of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division, for certificates for the New Shares (in yellow color). Details of such free exchange of share certificates will be announced as soon as the effective date of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division is ascertained.
All existing certificates of the Shares will continue to be evidence of title to such Shares and be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purpose.
It is expected that the new share certificates will be available for collection from the Share Registrar by the Shareholders within ten (10) business days after delivery of the existing share certificates to the Share Registrar for exchange purpose.
Save and except for the change in the number of Shares for each board lot, the new share certificates will have the same format but will be in yellow, which is a different colour compared to the existing share certificates.
ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN
Set out on pages 11 to 13 of this circular is a notice convening the EGM at which a special resolution will be proposed to approve the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division.
A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed herewith. If you are unable to attend and/or vote at the EGM in person, you are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
