Termination of the Outsource Agreement

Pursuant to the Outsource Agreement, PAL Beijing outsourced the operation of certain of lottery business and the daily operation and administrative functions in the PRC to the Contractor for a term of three years commencing on 1 July 2012 and ending on 30 June 2015. Having entered into both the Outsource Agreement and the Disposal Agreements, the Remaining Group may not be able to fulfill the sufficiency of operation requirements under Rule 17.26 of the GEM Listing Rules and maintain the listing status of the Company on GEM. The Directors, after due and careful consideration of the risks and benefits brought about by each of the Outsource Agreement and the Disposal Agreements, had decided to terminate the Outsource Agreement in accordance with its terms by entering into a deed of termination dated 13 August 2012 between the parties to the Outsource Agreement and effective on the same day.

The Open Offer

The Company proposes to raise not more than approximately HK$134.9 million, before expenses, by issuing not more than 1,729,046,799 Offer Shares (assuming all Shareholders take up their entitlements under the Open Offer and full exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Share Options (excluding the Excluded Options) on or before the Latest Lodging Date) by way of the Open Offer at a price of HK$0.078 per Offer Share on the basis of three Offer Shares for every existing Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date. The Open Offer will be available only to the Qualifying Shareholders.

Subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, up to 1,273,566,615 Underwritten Shares will be underwritten by the Underwriters. As the number of Underwritten Shares is less than the total Offer Shares, the Open Offer is not fully underwritten. Subject to fulfillment of the conditions of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement, the Open Offer will proceed regardless of the ultimate subscription level as there are no requirements for minimal levels of subscription pursuant to the Company’s constitutional documents or the law of Cayman Islands. Having made the reasonable enquiries, the Directors confirm that the Company has also complied with all the applicable statutory requirements regarding the minimal levels of subscription of the Open Offer. As at the date of this announcement, none of the substantial shareholders of the Company have undertaken to take up their respective assured entitlements to the Open Offer either in part or in full.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Open Offer to repay the Power Way Loan amounting to approximately HK$89.3 million as at 31 May 2012. The remaining amount of the net proceeds from the Open Offer of up to HK$44.1 million will be used as additional working capital to strengthen the Company’s financial position and to develop its lottery business, including but not limited to, the development of its paperless lottery sales channels, such as mobile network and/or internet.

3

Immediately upon completion of the Open Offer, the Underwritten Shares to be subscribed by the Underwriters together with the Shares held or to be held by Melco LV and other non-public Shareholders shall not be more than 75% of the total shareholdings of the Company as enlarged by the Offer Shares.

The Open Offer is conditional upon certain conditions, details of which are set out in the section headed “Conditions of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement” in the full text of this announcement below. Accordingly, the Open Offer may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

Relationship among the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with them

Melco LV, GCH, Intralot and Firich are parties to certain agreements and undertakings in connection with the Asset Transfer Agreement, which was completed on 9 December 2008. In view of each of Melco LV, GCH, Intralot and Firich entering into of the aforesaid agreements and undertakings in respect of governing their respective shareholdings in the Company, each of them is party acting in concert with each other. Under the Transactions, Melco LV and Power Way are applicants for the Whitewash Waiver, and GCH, Intralot and Firich are part of the concert party group of Melco LV and Power Way.

Proposed Increase in Authorised Capital

The authorised share capital of the Company is HK$20,000,000 comprising 2,000,000,000 Shares, of which 502,966,933 Shares are in issue as at the date of this announcement. The authorised unissued 1,497,033,067 Shares are insufficient for the issuance of the Offer Shares in full. The Board proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$20,000,000 to HK$55,000,000 by the creation of additional 3,500,000,000 unissued Shares which will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Shares. The Proposed Increase in Authorised Capital is conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM.

To avoid any unnecessary delay in the group reorganisation timetable and in order not to complicate the existing group reorganisation procedures, the Company undertakes to conduct a share consolidation as soon as practicable after completion of the Open Offer. In the meantime, the Company will closely monitor its Share price.

Implications of the GEM Listing Rules

The Disposal Agreements

As certain of the applicable percentage ratios under the Intralot Agreement as calculated under Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules exceed 75%, the Intralot Agreement constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company under the GEM Listing Rules which is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements.

4

Intralot, which, together with its associates, is interested in 52,973,779 Shares (representing approximately 10.53% of the issued share capital of the Company) as at the date of this announcement and is a substantial Shareholder. As such, the transactions contemplated under the Intralot Agreement also constitute a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules which is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements.

As certain of the applicable percentage ratios under the GCH Agreement as calculated under Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules exceed 75%, the GCH Agreement constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company under the GEM Listing Rules which is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements.

GCH is a connected person of the Company by virtue of it being a substantial shareholder of Oasis Rich, an indirect 60%-owned subsidiary of the Company. As such, the transactions contemplated under the GCH Agreement also constitute a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules which is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements.

The Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking

Mr. Ding, together with Mrs. Ding, are controlling shareholders of Beijing Haiyin and substantial shareholders (through Beijing Haiyin) of Beijing Telenet and Mr. Ding is a director of Beijing Telenet and indirectly, through Mrs. Ding, interested in 22,668,000 Shares as at the date of the announcement. Intradak is a connected person of the Company by virtue of it being owned as to 35% and 20% by Beijing Haiyin and Mr. Ding respectively as at the date of this announcement. As such, the entering into of the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules and will be subject to reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules.

The Open Offer

Since the Open Offer will increase the issued share capital of the Company by more than 50% within the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of this announcement, the Open Offer is conditional on the approval by Independent Shareholders at the EGM by a resolution on which the controlling Shareholders, if any, are required to abstain from voting in favour of the Open Offer. As at the date of this announcement, the Company is not aware of any Shareholder being a controlling Shareholder.

5

Given the Disposal Agreements (including the CB Repurchases), the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement (including the Whitewash Waiver) are inter-conditional of each other, Firich, GCH, Intralot, Melco LV and their respective associates and parties acting in concert with any of them and Shareholders who are involved in or interested in the Transactions will be required to abstain from voting in respect of the resolutions approving the Transactions at the EGM.

Implications of the Takeovers Code

The taking up of (i) the Offer Shares to which the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them are entitled to under the Open Offer, and (ii) the Underwritten Shares to be subscribed by the Underwriters as permissible under the Underwriting Agreement, based on the assumption that no other Qualifying Shareholders subscribe for the Offer Shares, will result in the aggregate percentage shareholdings of the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them in the Company being increased from approximately 28.92% to approximately 78.43% and will therefore give rise to a mandatory offer obligation on the part of the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all the Shares and other securities issued by the Company not already held or agreed to be acquired by the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them unless the Whitewash Waiver is obtained.

An application will be made by the Underwriters to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Whitewash Waiver, if granted by the Executive, will be subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. The Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them and Shareholders who are involved in or interested in the Transactions will abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the Whitewash Waiver at the EGM. It is one of the conditions of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement that the Whitewash Waiver be granted by the Executive and be approved by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. If the Whitewash Waiver is not granted by the Executive or not approved by the Independent Shareholders, the Open Offer will not proceed.

Implications of the Repurchase Code

The CB Repurchases will constitute an off-market share repurchase under the Repurchase Code and must be approved by the Executive pursuant to Rule 2 of the Repurchase Code. Such approval, if given, will be conditional upon, amongst others, the approval of the CB Repurchases by at least three-fourths of the votes cast on a poll by the Independent Shareholders in attendance in person or by proxy at the EGM. An application will be made to the Executive for the approval of the CB Repurchases pursuant to Rule 2 of the Repurchase Code.

6

As required by the Repurchase Code, the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them and the Shareholders who are involved in or interested in the Transactions will abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the CB Repurchases and the Disposal Agreements at the EGM.

General

Pursuant to Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code, a circular containing inter alia, (i) further details of the Transactions and the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking; (ii) the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Transactions and the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking; (iii) the letter from an independent financial adviser to both the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Transactions and the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking; and (iv) the notice of EGM, shall be despatched within 21 days of the date of this announcement, or such later date as the Executive may approve. As additional time is required, among other things, to prepare for the financial information relevant to the Transactions for inclusion in the circular, the Company will apply to the Executive for a waiver from compliance with Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code and to postpone the latest date to despatch the circular of the Transactions and the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking from 4 September 2012 to 25 September 2012. The circular to be despatched in relation to the Transactions and the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking will comply with the requirements under the GEM Listing Rules, the Takeovers Code and the Repurchase Code.

An independent financial adviser will be appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Transactions and the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking. Further announcement will be made by the Company upon the appointment of the independent financial adviser.

The Prospectus Documents setting out details of the Open Offer will be despatched to the Qualifying Shareholders as soon as practicable, subject to the conditions of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement being satisfied.

4. REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO THE DISPOSAL AGREEMENTS

The Company is primarily an investment holding company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in lottery business in the PRC.

The Company has been pursuing lottery business since 2007 after a series of acquisitions of various lottery related businesses and assets. However, the performance of the Group has been unsatisfactorily reporting significant net losses in the past few years and in light of the concern over the build-up of significant total liabilities of the Group, which is mainly attributable to the outstanding convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$883,975,310 as at the date of this announcement, the Board intends to carry out a reorganisation of its lottery business and the Disposal Agreements form part of such group reorganisation, which also includes (i) the amendment of Beijing Telenet Articles as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 27 July 2011 and set out under the

20

paragraph headed “Beijing Telenet” below; (ii) the acquisition of the remaining 20% equity interest of PAL as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 19 September 2011 and set out under the paragraph headed “PAL” below; and (iii) the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement (including the Set Off). Details of the aforesaid group reorganisation activities have been set out in the announcements of the Company dated 27 July 2011, 19 September 2011 and in this announcement, respectively.

The Intralot Disposal and GCH Disposal are expected to result in substantial debt reduction of convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$452,363,876 and gains of approximately HK$129.7 million and HK$158.7 million respectively for the Group. The actual gains arising from the Intralot Disposal and the GCH Disposal however will be calculated based on the audited financial information of Gain Advance and Precious Success as at Intralot Disposal Completion and Oasis Rich and GCH Disposal Completion respectively, which may be different from the estimated gains disclosed above.

The Disposal Agreements

As at the date of this announcement, the Company has outstanding convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$883,975,310 (comprising the 2012 Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$606,800,000 and the Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$277,175,310). The Company will not receive any proceeds in cash from the Intralot Disposal and the GCH Disposal but the Disposal Agreements will facilitate the repurchases and cancellations of the entire Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds and part of the 2012 Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$175,188,566, which will reduce the liabilities of the Group significantly and settle the outstanding principal amounts of the Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds and the GCH 2012 Convertible Bonds.

  • a) The Intralot Agreement

Through Gain Advance, the Company is indirectly interested in 14% equity interest in Nanum Lotto Inc. which is principally engaged in the technology development, operation and investment in lottery-related businesses in South Korea and other Asian region. As a minority shareholder, the Company has limited influence over the operations of Nanum Lotto Inc.. The Board regards the disposal of Gain Advance as an opportunity to focus on lottery business in the PRC.

Intralot S.A., the holding company of Intralot, is a leading supplier of integrated gaming and transaction processing systems, innovative game content and sports betting management. The Board believes that the disposal of 49% equity interest in Precious Success to Intralot will bring Intralot’s expertise in lottery business to the Group.

21

  • b) The GCH Agreement

Oasis Rich is engaged in the manufacturing of lottery terminals for CSLA related projects in the PRC. As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2011, new equipment procurement cycle of the CSLA has been subject to prolonged delay. The management is of the view that the demand and timing of the equipment procurement cycle from the customers are uncertain and further investments in the manufacturing operations may require significant additional working capital. Therefore, the Board believes that it will be prudent to divest the manufacturing operations and reduce the level of liabilities of the Company.

Beijing Telenet currently sources its lottery terminals from Wu Sheng, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oasis Rich, for distribution. For the two years ended 31 December 2010 and 2011, lottery terminals and related equipment supplied by Wu Sheng to Beijing Telenet amounted to approximately HK$67.0 million and HK$77.4 million respectively, equivalent to approximately 78.7% or 100% of the cost of sales of Beijing Telenet for the corresponding periods. Upon completion of the GCH Disposal, Wu Sheng will remain the major supplier of Beijing Telenet.

The Remaining Group

Upon completion of the Disposal Agreements, the Remaining Group will consist of, among others, (i) 52.5% equity interest in Beijing Telenet; and (ii) 51% equity interest in Precious Success, which is interested in 100% equity interest in PAL, details of which are set out below:

a) Beijing Telenet

Beijing Telenet is principally engaged in the distribution of lottery terminals in the PRC and is one of the largest authorised terminal distributors approved by the CSLA. Its principal office is located in Beijing, the PRC and it also has supporting teams located in 22 provinces in the PRC. As at the date of this announcement, Beijing Telenet has 52 employees, including 36 employees in the provision of technical support, 8 employees in sales and 8 employees in administrative and finance functions.

Set out below is the CSLA lottery supply chain in the PRC (from the perspective of the supply chain of lottery terminals where each of Wu Sheng, Beijing Telenet and Intradak takes part (the “ CSLA Supply Chain ”)).

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

22

As set out in the diagram above, the members of the CSLA Supply Chain are amongst the system providers which provide the Approved LVM used by the CSLA to sell lottery tickets and run lottery games. Since the establishment of Beijing Telenet in 2006, Intradak has been the sole customer of Beijing Telenet and, vice versa, Beijing Telenet has been the sole supplier to Intradak. The business model of Beijing Telenet in the CSLA Supply Chain has been operated and remained unchanged since 2006 and is expected to be remain so after the Transactions.

Beijing Telenet plays a critical role in the CSLA Supply Chain. Under a typical sales contract entered into between Intradak and Beijing Telenet, in addition to the supply of the Approved LVM, Beijing Telenet’s services would include, among other things, (i) providing free warranty service for a period of 3 years; (ii) providing timely replacement for faulty parts of the Approved LVM during the warranty period; and (iii) ensuring the average monthly faulty rate of the Approved LVM to be less than 1% of the total procurement volume during the warranty period. Beijing Telenet charges a fixed price for sales and distribution of the Approved LVM which includes maintenance and on-site after-sales services support such as installation of terminals and on-site training for sales agents during the warranty period in a timely manner.

As at the date of this announcement, both Beijing Telenet and Intradak are two of the only seven authorised distributors in the PRC which are permitted to bid for the CSLA projects. Albeit Beijing Telenet is able to bid for the CSLA projects, it is the intention of the Directors to focus on the principal business activities of the trading, distribution and maintenance of the Approved LVM instead of bidding for the CSLA projects mainly due to (i) the stable margins that Beijing Telenet can earn by providing trading, distribution and maintenance services; (ii) the advantage of bidding for the CSLA projects lies with Intradak owing to its expertise and experience in the lottery related business in the PRC; and (iii) the benefits brought about by overall business model of the CSLA Supply Chain.

Prior to the implementation of the amendments to the Beijing Telenet Articles, the then Beijing Telenet Articles require that all the Beijing Telenet board resolutions shall be passed by more than two-thirds majority votes or above. Upon the implementation of the amendments to the then Beijing Telenet Articles in late July 2011, certain Beijing Telenet board resolutions can be passed by simple majority votes. The Company, which had appointed four Beijing Telenet directors out of seven Beijing Telenet directors, would have the voting rights to govern those financial and operating policies of Beijing Telenet, which require simple majority votes of the Beijing Telenet Board upon the implementation of the amendments to the then Beijing Telenet Articles. Accordingly, pursuant to the relevant Hong Kong accounting standards, Beijing Telenet has been accounted for as an indirect non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its financial information has been consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. Please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 27 July 2011 for further details. The amendments of the Beijing Telenet Articles have been completed and are independent of the Transactions.

23

Based on the unaudited financial statements of Beijing Telenet for the two years ended 31 December 2010 and 2011, the revenue, net profit before and after taxation of Beijing Telenet amounted to approximately RMB73.6 million, RMB0.59 million and RMB0.44 million respectively (equivalent to approximately HK$89.8 million, HK$0.72 million and HK$0.54 million, respectively) for 2010 and amounted to approximately RMB70.8 million, approximately RMB0.37 million and approximately RMB0.28 million respectively (equivalent to approximately HK$86.4 million, approximately HK$0.45 million and approximately HK$0.34 million, respectively) for 2011.

The unaudited net asset value of Beijing Telenet was approximately RMB24.2 million (equivalent to approximately HK$29.5 million) as at 31 March 2012.

  • b) PAL

PAL, through its subsidiaries, is principally engaged in the lottery business in the PRC. Its principal subsidiary, PAL Beijing, is located in Beijing, the PRC. As at the date of this announcement, the PAL Beijing Group has 37 employees, including 6 employees in the provision of technical support, 10 employees in sales and 21 employees in administrative and finance functions.

PAL Beijing is a wholly-owned subsidiary of PAL and represents substantially all of the business operation of PAL. Apart from PAL Beijing running 4 shops and 77 lottery vending terminals for the CSLA on behalf of Zhonghuicai (Beijing) Information Technology Limited, the PAL Beijing Group’s other business lines which vary and focus on the CWL projects are set out below:

  • (i) Tianjin branch of Beijing Huaying is engaged in the sale of scratch cards in bulk and distributing the scratch cards to the sales agents in Tianjin;

  • (ii) Chongqing branch of Beijing Huaying is a system provider and owner of a high-frequency lottery game system in Chongqing and is also engaged in system and set-top boxes maintenance and upgrade; and

  • (iii) Shandong Kai Chuan Ji Yuan is engaged in the design and development of the tele-betting system as well as the sale of the paperless lottery tickets through the tele-betting system to its members in Shandong.

As disclosed by the Company in its announcement dated 19 September 2011, Precious Success is interested in the entire equity interest of PAL pursuant to the acquisition of the remaining 20% equity interest in PAL from LottVision Investments. Upon Intralot Disposal Completion, PAL will become an indirect non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As at the date of this announcement, neither LottVision, which is interested in the entire equity interest of LottVision Investments, nor LottVision Investments held any Shares, convertible securities, warrants or options or any outstanding derivative in respect of relevant securities of the Company.

24

Based on the audited consolidated financial statements of PAL for the two years ended 31 December 2010 and 2011 respectively, the revenue of PAL amounted to approximately HK$12.2 million and HK$25.7 million for 2010 and 2011 respectively, while the unaudited net liabilities of PAL amounted to approximately HK$67.8 million as at 31 March 2012.

The acquisition of the remaining 20% equity interest in PAL has already been completed and is independent of the Transactions.

The Remaining Group will focus on its lottery business in the PRC and will continue to engage in the distribution of lottery terminals in the PRC through Beijing Telenet and its other lottery businesses in the PRC through PAL. Pursuant to the relevant Hong Kong accounting standards, both Beijing Telenet and Precious Success, which is interested in the entire equity interest of PAL, are accounted for as subsidiaries of the Company. The respective accounts, including the results and the assets and liabilities, of Beijing Telenet and Precious Success are consolidated with that of the Group.

Given (i) the scale of operations and size of revenue of Beijing Telenet; and (ii) the substantial reduction in the total liability of the Company immediately upon completion of the group reorganisation, the Directors consider that the Group will have sufficient operations upon completion of the Disposal Agreements to satisfy the requirements under 17.26 of the GEM Listing Rules.

As set out in this section above, the lottery terminal distribution business in the PRC has been contributing a small profit during the last two financial years while the lottery business in the PRC, although currently recording losses, management of the Group is committed to the revival of this business through the development of lottery products associated with the Licence. On the other hand, lottery terminal manufacturing operation has been making losses in the last two financial years and its prospect remains uncertain and further investments in the manufacturing operations may require significant additional working capital. In light of the above and taking into account the considerable debt burden and the increasing factory labour costs and overheads, the Company, through the currently contemplated group reorganisation, intends to realign the focus of the Group to lottery terminal distribution and its lottery businesses in the PRC, which require substantially less working capital, and divest the capital intensive manufacturing operations. Save for the Disposal Agreements, the Company has no intention to conduct any further disposal, downscaling or termination of its existing business as at the date of this announcement.

Accordingly, the Directors (other than the non-executive Directors and the independent non-executive Directors) consider the terms of the Intralot Agreement and the GCH Agreement (including the CB Repurchases) and the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking and all Directors consider the terms of the Wu Sheng Exclusivity Undertaking, all of which form part of the aforesaid group reorganisation to reduce the overall liabilities of the Group, are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

25

To avoid any unnecessary delay in the group reorganisation timetable and in order not to complicate the existing group reorganisation procedures, the Company undertakes to conduct a share consolidation as soon as practicable after completion of the Open Offer.

The outstanding principal amount of the 2012 Convertible Bond (after completion of the Transactions) will be approximately HK$431.6 million which will fall due on 13 December 2012. The Company would consider whether to raise equity, debt financing or a combination of both to satisfy its aforesaid payments obligations under the 2012 Convertible Bonds. In addition, the Company has negotiated and will continue to negotiate with the 2012 CB Holders for the purpose of seeking their consent to convert any remaining 2012 Convertible Bonds prior to/upon maturity, in accordance with the terms of the 2012 Convertible Bonds.

5. THE EXCLUSIVITY UNDERTAKINGS

To secure the supply of the Approved LVM and the business of Beijing Telenet and its role under the CSLA Supply Chain after the GCH Disposal Completion, on 13 August 2012, Beijing Telenet has entered into an unconditional exclusivity undertaking with Wu Sheng and a conditional exclusivity undertaking with Intradak respectively.

Pursuant to the Wu Sheng Exclusivity Undertaking, Wu Sheng granted an exclusive right to Beijing Telenet for procuring the Approved LVM mutually specified by Wu Sheng and Beijing Telenet for a term of one year. During the term of the Wu Sheng Exclusivity Undertaking, Wu Sheng shall solely supply the Approved LVM to Beijing Telenet at prices set in accordance with the existing pricing policy and shall not directly or indirectly, without the written consent of Beijing Telenet, supply the Approved LVM to (i) competitors or potential competitors of Beijing Telenet, (ii) Intradak; or (iii) any other third party enterprises, corporations or individuals other than Beijing Telenet. Wu Sheng further undertook that it shall not directly or indirectly compete with Beijing Telenet in connection with the supply of the Approved LVM. The Wu Sheng Exclusivity Undertaking also stipulates that the transactions to be carried out between Wu Sheng and Beijing Telenet will follow an unchanged pricing policy, since 2006. The Wu Sheng Exclusivity Undertaking is not conditional on the Transactions and/or the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking or vice versa. The Wu Sheng Exclusivity Undertaking took effect upon signing.

Pursuant to the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking, Intradak granted an exclusive right to Beijing Telenet for supplying the Approved LVM mutually specified by Intradak and Beijing Telenet for a term of one year. During the term of the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking, Intradak shall solely procure the Approved LVM from Beijing Telenet and shall not directly or indirectly, without the written consent of Beijing Telenet, procure the Approved LVM from any other third party enterprises, corporations or individuals other than Beijing Telenet. The Intradak

26

Exclusivity Undertaking is conditional on the approval from the Shareholders other than Mrs. Ding and her associates and those who are required to abstain from voting in the EGM to consider and approve the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking and such condition is not capable of waiver. For the avoidance of doubt, the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking is not conditional on the Transactions and/ or the Wu Sheng Exclusivity Undertaking or vice versa. In the event that the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking becomes unconditional, it will take effect on the following Business Day irrespective of completion of the Transactions.

6. TERMINATION OF THE OUTSOURCE AGREEMENT

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 26 June 2012 in relation to the Outsource Agreement. Pursuant to the Outsource Agreement, PAL Beijing outsourced the operation of certain of lottery business and the daily operation and administrative functions in the PRC to a company (the “ Contractor ”) wholly owned by Beijing Haiyin for a term of three years commencing on 1 July 2012 and ending on 30 June 2015.

Having entered into both the Outsource Agreement and the Disposal Agreements, the Remaining Group may not be able to fulfill the sufficiency of operation requirements under Rule 17.26 of the GEM Listing Rules and maintain the listing status of the Company on GEM. The Directors, after due and careful consideration of the risks and benefits brought about by each of the Outsource Agreement and the Disposal Agreements, had decided to terminate the Outsource Agreement in accordance with its terms by entering into a deed of termination dated 13 August 2012 between the parties to the Outsource Agreement and effective on the same day.

In order to be registered as members of the Company on the Record Date, Shareholders must lodge any transfers of Shares (together with the relevant share certificates(s)) with the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, on or before Thursday,

11 October 2012. Holders of Share Options (save and except for the Excluded Options) who wish to participate in the Open Offer should exercise their Share Options in accordance with their respective terms no later than the Latest Lodging Time.

Closure of register of members

The Company’s register of members is expected to be closed from Friday, 12 October 2012 to Sunday, 14 October 2012, both dates inclusive, for the purpose of, among other things, establishing entitlements to the Open Offer. No transfer of Shares will be registered during this period.

Terms of the Open Offer

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.078 per Offer Share, payable in full when a Qualifying Shareholder applies for the Offer Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (a) a discount of approximately 21.2% to the closing price of HK$0.099 per Share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (b) a discount of approximately 23.5% to the average of the closing prices of approximately HK0.102 per Share for the last five full trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (c) a discount of approximately 28.4% to the average of the closing prices of approximately HK$0.109 per Share for the last ten full trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (d) a discount of approximately 6.0% to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of approximately HK$0.083 per Share (assuming that all Shareholders take up their respective entitlements to the Offer Shares) based on the closing price of HK$0.099 per Share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and

  • (e) a discount of approximately 9.3% to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of approximately HK$0.086 (assuming that no Shareholders take up their respective entitlements to the Offer Shares and the Underwriters are called upon to subscribe for the Underwritten Shares subject to the terms and conditions under the Underwriting Agreement) based on the closing price of HK$0.099 per Share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day.

30

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters with reference to, among other things, the then market environment, the prevailing market price of the Shares, the financial position of the Group and the funding requirements in repaying the Power Way Loan and exploring potential investment opportunities. The Directors (other than the non-executive Directors and the independent non-executive Directors) consider the terms of the Open Offer and Subscription Price to be fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Basis of assured entitlement

Three Offer Shares for every existing Share held by a Qualifying Shareholder on the Record Date will be offered to the Qualifying Shareholders.

No application for excess Offer Shares

The invitation to subscribe for Offer Shares to be made to the Qualifying Shareholders will not be transferable. The Company has also decided that the Qualifying Shareholders will not be entitled to subscribe for any Offer Share in excess of their respective assured entitlements.

The absence of the excess application arrangement may not be desirable from the point of view of those Qualifying Shareholders who wish to take up additional Offer Shares in excess of their assured entitlements. However, having considered (i) the structure of the Open Offer was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Underwriters and the Company; (ii) the relatively thin discount of the theoretical ex-entitlement price to the prevailing market prices of the Shares (details of which are set out under paragraph headed “Terms of the Open Offer”) provides no significant incentive for the Qualifying Shareholders to take up additional Offer Shares; (iii) those Qualifying Shareholders who choose to accept their respective entitlements under the Open Offer in full can maintain their respective existing shareholdings in the Company after the Open Offer; and (iv) the Open Offer already assures the Qualifying Shareholders who are optimistic about the future development of the Company to entitle to the Offer Shares in proportion to their shareholding, the Directors (excluding the non-executive Directors and the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the absence of excess application arrangement is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

The Offer Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders will be underwritten by the Underwriters as described in the section headed “Underwriting Arrangements” below.

Since no excess application procedure for the Offer Shares is available and Melco LV, being one of the Underwriters, is a substantial shareholder of the Company, the absence of an excess application procedure under the Open Offer must be specifically approved by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM in compliance with Rule 10.42(2) of the GEM Listing Rules.

31

Status of the Offer Shares

When allotted, issued and fully-paid, the Offer Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Shares then in issue. Holders of fully-paid Offer Shares will be entitled to receive all dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid after the date of issue and allotment of the fully-paid Offer Shares.

Rights of the Non-Qualifying Shareholders

The Prospectus Documents will not be registered or filed under the applicable securities or equivalent legislation of any jurisdictions other than Hong Kong. Prior to the despatch of the Prospectus Documents, the Company will make enquiries as to whether the offer or issue of Offer Shares to the Overseas Shareholders may contravene the applicable securities legislation of the relevant overseas places or the requirements of the relevant regulatory bodies or stock exchanges pursuant to Rule 17.41(1) of the GEM Listing Rules. If after making such enquiry the Board is of the opinion that it will be necessary or expedient not to offer the Offer Shares to such Overseas Shareholders, the Open Offer will not be available to such Overseas Shareholders. Accordingly the Offer Shares will not be offered to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders and no application for the Offer Shares will be accepted from the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. The Company will send copies of the Prospectus to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders for their information only, but will not send the application forms to them.

The basis for excluding the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, if any, from the Open Offer will be set out in the Prospectus to be issued. So long as the Non-Qualifying Shareholders are the Independent Shareholders, they are entitled to cast their votes on the resolution(s) in relation to the Open Offer and the Whitewash Waiver in the EGM.

Further details on the entitlement of the Overseas Shareholders will be made in the Prospectus Documents.

Share Certificates for the Offer Shares

Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement, certificates for all Offer Shares are expected to be posted to successful applicants at their own risk on or before Thursday, 8 November 2012.

Application for listing

The Company will apply to the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Offer Shares.

32

2. WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN SHARES

Existing Shares are expected to be dealt in on an ex-entitlement basis from Wednesday, 10 October 2012. If the Underwriters terminate the Underwriting Agreement (see the paragraph headed “Termination of the Underwriting Agreement” below), or if any of the conditions of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement (see the section headed “Conditions of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement” below) is not fulfilled, the Open Offer will not proceed.

3. REASONS FOR THE OPEN OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Pursuant to the loan agreement dated 14 July 2008 (as amended by supplemental agreements dated 1 December 2009, 21 March 2011 and 24 February 2012) entered into between Power Way and the Company, Power Way had advanced a loan in the sum of HK$80.0 million to the Company and such loan bears interest at the rate of 5% per annum for the period up to 13 July 2010, and at the rate of 1% per annum for the period of 14 July 2010 to 14 July 2013, being its maturity date. Power Way provided the Power Way Loan to finance the Group’s acquisition, through Gain Advance, of the entire equity interest in KTeMS Co., Ltd. at the consideration of US$12 million (equivalent to approximately HK$93.6 million) in 2008. As at 31 May 2012, the Power Way Loan, which is the aggregate of the principal amount of such loan and the interest accrued thereon, amounted to approximately HK$89,338,196. The Directors consider that the settlement of the Power Way Loan under the Underwriting Agreement through the Set Off will enable the Group to repay substantial part of the liabilities of the Company under the Power Way Loan without cash outflow and will allow the Group to reduce its gearing level.

Notwithstanding the view of the Directors that the Group has the financial ability to meet the interest payments on the Power Way Loan as they fall due, the Directors are mindful of the significant deterioration in economic and credit conditions that have affected the world economies in recent months. Given the uncertain economic outlook in the near to medium term, the Group is well conscious of the risk that the Company may not be able to obtain the necessary funding, either through debt or equity financing or both, to re-finance the Power Way Loan as and when it falls due.

The Directors, having taken the prudent approach in evaluating the current financial position of the Group, consider the Open Offer will allow the Group to (i) strengthen its capital base; (ii) improve its gearing ratio; (iii) remove the uncertainty over the Company’s financial position to pay all of the outstanding remaining balance under the Power Way Loan; (iv) save the future interest expense in connection with the Power Way Loan; and (v) provide an equitable means for the Shareholders to participate in the future development of the Company. In addition, the Directors consider that the Open Offer will provide additional working capital and strengthen the Group’s financial position. As set out in the unaudited interim results announcement of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2012, the total net liabilities of the Group were approximately HK$668.8 million as at 30 June 2012.

33

The Directors and the senior management of the Company have also explored other financing methods through discussions with and enquiries to certain financial institutions and placing agents on the possibility of debt financing and equity issuances, including but not limited to share placement and rights issue. However, the Company is in a net liability position, debt financing would result in the Company being subject to additional interest burden and further increase its gearing ratio and jeopardize the financial structure of the Company. Share placement would only be available to certain placees which may cause dilution effect to the existing Shareholders, and the Directors and the senior management were unable to procure underwriting support from independent underwriters to underwrite a rights issue of a similar size at a reasonable cost to the Company. In view of the above, the Directors considered that it would be more beneficial to the Company to raise long-term equity capital through the Open Offer rather than the aforesaid alternate means of financing. The Underwriting Agreement, in particular, the underwriting obligations of the Underwriters and the number of Underwritten Shares, was determined after arm’s length discussion between the Company and the Underwriters. Therefore, the Directors (excluding the non-executive Directors and the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Underwriting Agreement is in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

The gross proceeds from the Open Offer are estimated to be not less than approximately HK$58.4 million, of which HK$48.4 million is subject to the Set Off (i.e. Scenario 2 as defined in the paragraph headed “Effect on shareholding structures of the Company as a result of the Open Offer”) and not more than HK$134.9 million (i.e. Scenario 3 as defined in the paragraph headed “Effect on shareholding structures of the Company as a result of the Open Offer”). Under Scenario 2, the minimum gross proceeds from the Open Offer of approximately HK$58.4 million is estimated based on the Underwriters will take up 748,419,206 Offer Shares at HK$0.078 per Offer Share, assuming (i) no Shareholders take up their entitlements under the Open Offer; and (ii) no exercise of the subscription rights attached to the outstanding Share Options. After deducting estimated expenses relating to the Open Offer, the net proceeds from the Open Offer will amount to not less than approximately HK$56.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$0.076 per Offer Share). The Company intends to use the entire net proceeds from the Open Offer to repay the Power Way Loan.

Under Scenario 3 and Scenario 1 (as defined in the paragraph headed “Effect on shareholding structures of the Company as a result of the Open Offer”), the maximum gross proceeds of approximately HK$134.9 million and the gross proceeds of approximately HK$117.7 million from the Open Offer are estimated based on 1,729,046,799 Offer Shares and 1,508,900,799 Offer Shares will be issued at HK$0.078 per Offer Share respectively, assuming, for Scenario 3, (i) all Shareholders take up their entitlements under the Open Offer; and (ii) full exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Share Options (excluding the Excluded Options) on or before the Latest Lodging Time; and, for Scenario 1, (i) all Shareholders take up their respective entitlements to the Offer Shares; and

34

(ii) no subscription rights attached to the outstanding Share Options has been exercised. However, it is noted that most of the Share Options are out-of-money and substantially above the Share price of HK$0.099 as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day. After deducting estimated expenses relating to the Open Offer, the net proceeds from the Open Offer will amount to not more than approximately HK$133.4 million and approximately HK$116.2 million (both equivalent to approximately HK$0.077 per Offer Share) for Scenario 3 and Scenario 1 respectively. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Open Offer to fully repay the Power Way Loan amounting to approximately HK$89.3 million as at 31 May 2012. The remaining amount of the net proceeds from the Open Offer of HK$44.1 million (under Scenario 3) and HK$26.9 million (under Scenario 1) will be used as additional working capital to strengthen the Company’s financial position and to develop its lottery business, including but not limited to, system upgrade for a high-frequency lottery game system in Chongqing, the development of its paperless lottery sales channels, such as mobile network and/or internet, and the balance for upgrading tele-betting system in Shandong and marketing expenses.

As at the date of this announcement, the Company has neither identified nor commenced any negotiations for any potential acquisitions.

Commission : Nil Aggregate nominal value : Not more than approximately HK$12,735,666 of the Underwritten Shares

  • Note: Underwriting does not fall within the ordinary course of business of the Underwriters. The Company has explored and held discussions with potential commercial underwriters in relation to the possibility of underwriting the Open Offer. However, the Company was unable to procure other underwriter(s) at acceptable costs to the Company.

As at the date of this announcement, (i) Melco LV, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Melco, is a substantial shareholder of the Company; and (ii) Power Way is indirectly owned by Melco LV as to 58.70%. As at the date of this announcement, Melco LV is interested in 58,674,619 Shares, representing approximately 11.67% of the issued share capital of the Company, as at the date of this announcement, Melco LV is entitled to subscribe for 176,023,857 Offer Shares. The underwriting obligations of Melco LV to underwrite not more than 128,205,128 Offer Shares is independent of and does not include

39

any of Melco LV’s entitlement to take up its entitled Offer Shares. Save for the underwriting obligations of the Underwriters under the Underwriting Agreement, no Shareholders or the parties acting in concert with any of the Underwriters have indicated whether they will take up their assured entitlements under the Open Offer or not.

The Underwritten Shares

As the number of Underwritten Shares is below that of the Offer Shares, the Open Offer is not fully underwritten. Subject to fulfillment of the conditions of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement, the Open Offer will proceed regardless of the ultimate subscription level as there are no requirements for minimal levels of subscription pursuant to the Company’s constitutional documents or the law of Cayman Islands. Having made reasonable enquiries, the Directors confirm that the Company has also complied with all the applicable statutory requirements regarding the minimal levels of subscription of the Open Offer. As at the date of this announcement, none of the substantial shareholders of the Company have undertaken to take up their respective entitlement to the Open Offer either in part or in full.

The Set Off

The Power Way Loan, being the aggregate of the principal amount of such loan and the interest accrued thereon, amounts to approximately HK$89.3 million as at 31 May 2012. The aggregate Subscription Price required to be paid by Power Way under the Underwriting Agreement will be settled by way of set off against the Power Way Loan. The exact amount of the Power Way Loan to be set off will be equal to the product of the Subscription Price and the exact number of Offer Shares to be taken up by Power Way. The interest on the outstanding Power Way Loan from 1 June 2012 up to and including the date of completion of the Set Off will be settled by the Company in cash.

Effect on shareholding structures of the Company as a result of the Open Offer

8. WHITEWASH WAIVER

The taking up of (i) the Offer Shares to which the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them are entitled to under the Open Offer, and (ii) the Underwritten Shares to be subscribed for by the Underwriters as permissible under the Underwriting Agreement, based on the assumption that no other Qualifying Shareholders subscribe for the Offer Shares, will result in the aggregate percentage of the shareholdings of the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them in the Company being increased from approximately 28.92% to approximately 78.43% and will therefore give rise to a mandatory offer obligation on the part of the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all the Shares and other securities issued by the Company not already held or agreed to be acquired by the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them unless the Whitewash Waiver is obtained.

  • (e) Intralot is interested in 52,973,779 Shares (representing approximately 10.53% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement) and the holder of the Intralot 2012 Convertible Bonds and the Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds which entitle Intralot to subscribe for 296,667,190 Shares (representing approximately 58.98% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement) upon the exercise of the conversion rights attached thereto in full; and

47

Save as disclosed above, the Underwriters and the parties acting in concert with any of them, which include LottVision and LottVision Investments, did not hold, own or has control or direction over any other Shares, convertible securities, warrants or options of the Company or any outstanding derivative in respect of relevant securities (as defined in note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) of the Company. The Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them and the Shareholders who are involved in or interested in the Transactions will be required to abstain from voting in respect of the resolutions approving the Transactions (other than the Proposed Increase in Authorised Capital) at the EGM. As at the date of this announcement, the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them own approximately 28.92% of the issued Shares.

Each of the parties above are deemed to be acting in concert with the Underwriters under the Takeovers Code. The Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them, which include LottVision and LottVision Investments, have not dealt in any Shares, convertible securities, warrants or options of the Company or any outstanding derivatives in respect of the relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) of the Company in the six months prior to this announcement.

An application will be made by the Underwriters to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Whitewash Waiver, if granted by the Executive, will be subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. The Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them and Shareholders who are involved in or interested in the Transactions will abstain from voting on the resolution(s) to approve the Open Offer, the Underwriting Agreement and the Whitewash Waiver at the EGM.

It is one of the conditions of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement that the Whitewash Waiver be granted by the Executive and be approved by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. If the Whitewash Waiver is not granted by the Executive or not approved by the Independent Shareholders, the Open Offer will not proceed.

The Directors (other than the non-executive Directors and the independent nonexecutive Directors) believe that the Open Offer, the Underwriting Agreement and the Whitewash Waiver, all of which form part of the group reorganisation to reduce the overall liabilities of the Group, are fair and reasonable and in the

48

interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The non-executive Directors of the Company and the independent non-executive Directors will first take into consideration of the advice of the independent financial adviser before making recommendation as to the fairness and reasonableness of the Whitewash Waiver.

Shareholders and potential investors should be aware that there is a possibility that, upon completion of the Open Offer, the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them will hold more than 50% of the voting rights in the Company. Hence, the Underwriters and persons acting in concert with any of them may increase their holding of voting rights in the Company without incurring any further obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code to make a general offer. However, any changes in the makeup of the group comprising the Underwriters and persons acting in concert with it that effectively result in a new group being formed or the balance of the group being changed significantly, may trigger an obligation to make a general offer under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code.

(III) PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED CAPITAL

The authorised share capital of the Company is HK$20,000,000 comprising 2,000,000,000 Shares, of which 502,966,933 Shares are in issue as at the date of this announcement. The authorised unissued 1,497,033,067 Shares are insufficient for the issuance of the Offer Shares in full. The Board proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$20,000,000 to HK$55,000,000 by the creation of additional 3,500,000,000 unissued Shares which will rank pari passu in all respects with the existing issued Shares. The Proposed Increase in Authorised Capital is conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM. As at the date of this announcement, other than the issue of the Offer Shares, the Company does not have any present intention to issue any part of the Proposed Increase in Authorised Capital.

(IV) ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS

As at the date of this announcement:

  • (i) there was no person who had irrevocably committed himself/herself to vote for or against the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Disposal Agreements (including the CB Repurchases), the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement (including the Whitewash Waiver);

  • (ii) there was no arrangement, other than the CB Undertakings and the Excluded Options Undertakings, of the kind referred to in Note 8 of Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code exists between the Underwriters or parties acting in concert with them and any other person;

49

  • (iii) save for the Power Way Agreement, there was no agreement, arrangement or undertaking between any of the Directors and any other person which is conditional or dependent on completion of or otherwise connected with the Disposal Agreements (including the CB Repurchases), the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement (including the Whitewash Waiver);

  • (iv) there was no arrangement, other than the CB Undertakings and the Excluded Options Undertakings, referred to in Note 8 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code (whether by way of option, indemnity or otherwise) in relation to the Shares or shares of any of the Underwriters and which might be material to the transactions contemplated under the Disposal Agreements (including the CB Repurchases), the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement (including the Whitewash Waiver);

  • (v) save for the Intralot Agreement, the GCH Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement, there are no agreements or arrangements to which any of the Underwriters are a party which relate to the circumstances in which it may or may not invoke or seek to invoke a pre-condition or a condition to the Disposal Agreements (including the CB Repurchases), the Open Offer and/or the Underwriting Agreement (including the Whitewash Waiver); and

  • (vi) there was no Shares or relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) of the Company have been borrowed or lent by the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them.

(V) IMPLICATION OF THE GEM LISTING RULES

The Disposal Agreements

As certain of the applicable percentage ratios under the Intralot Agreement as calculated under Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules exceed 75%, the Intralot Agreement constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company under the GEM Listing Rules which is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements.

Intralot, which, together with its associates, is interested in 52,973,779 Shares (representing approximately 10.53% of the issued share capital of the Company) as at the date of this announcement and is a substantial Shareholder. As such, the transactions contemplated under the Intralot Agreement also constitute a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules which is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements.

50

As certain of the applicable percentage ratios under the GCH Agreement as calculated under Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules exceed 75%, the GCH Agreement constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company under the GEM Listing Rules which is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements.

GCH is a connected person of the Company by virtue of its being a substantial shareholder of Oasis Rich, an indirect 60%-owned subsidiary of the Company. As such, the transactions contemplated under the GCH Agreement also constitute a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules which is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements.

The Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking

Mr. Ding, together with Mrs. Ding, are controlling shareholders of Beijing Haiyin and substantial shareholders (through Beijing Haiyin) of Beijing Telenet and Mr. Ding is a director of Beijing Telenet and indirectly, through Mrs. Ding, interested in 22,668,000 Shares as at the date of this announcement. Intradak is a connected person of the Company by virtue of it being owned as to 35% and 20% by Beijing Haiyin and Mr. Ding respectively as at the date of this announcement. As such, the entering into of the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules and will be subject to reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules.

The Open Offer

Since the Open Offer will increase the issued share capital of the Company by more than 50% within the twelve-month period immediately preceding the date of this announcement, the Open Offer is conditional on the approval by Independent Shareholders at the EGM by a resolution on which the controlling Shareholders, if any, are required to abstain from voting in favour of the Open Offer. As at the date of this announcement, the Company is not aware of any Shareholder being a controlling Shareholder.

Given the Disposal Agreements (including the CB Repurchases), the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement (including the Whitewash Waiver) are interconditional of each other, Firich, GCH, Intralot, Melco LV and their respective associates and parties acting in concert with any of them and Shareholders who are involved in or interested in the Transactions will be required to abstain from voting in respect of the resolutions approving the Transactions at the EGM.

51

(VI) IMPLICATION OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

Whitewash Waiver

The taking up of (i) the Offer Shares to which the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them are entitled to under the Open Offer, and (ii) the Underwritten Shares to be subscribed by the Underwriters as permissible under the Underwriting Agreement, based on the assumption that no other Qualifying Shareholders subscribe for the Offer Shares, will result in the aggregate percentage shareholdings of the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them in the Company being increased from approximately 28.92% to approximately 78.43%.

Accordingly, such an increase will give rise to a mandatory offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them to make a mandatory general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code for all the Shares and other securities issued by the Company not already held or agreed to be acquired by the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them unless the Whitewash Waiver is obtained.

An application will be made by the Underwriters to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Whitewash Waiver, if granted by the Executive, will be subject to, among other things, the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. The Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them and Shareholders who are involved in or interested in the Transactions will abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the Whitewash Waiver at the EGM.

(VII) IMPLICATION OF THE REPURCHASE CODE

The CB Repurchases will constitute an off-market share repurchase under the Repurchase Code and must be approved by the Executive pursuant to Rule 2 of the Repurchase Code. Such approval, if given, will be conditional upon, amongst others, the approval of the CB Repurchases by at least three-fourths of the votes cast on a poll by the Independent Shareholders in attendance in person or by proxy at the EGM. An application will be made to the Executive for the approval of the CB Repurchases pursuant to Rule 2 of the Repurchase Code.

As required by the Repurchase Code, the Underwriters and parties acting in concert with any of them and the Shareholders who are involved in or interested in the Transactions will abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the CB Repurchases and the Disposal Agreements at the EGM.

The Board wishes to emphasise that the Open Offer is inter-conditional with the Intralot Disposal Completion and the GCH Disposal Completion which in turn are subject to the Independent Shareholders’ approval including, among others, approval of the off-market repurchase of the Intralot 2013 Convertible Bonds and the GCH 2012 Convertible Bonds by at least three-fourths of the

52

votes cast on a poll by Independent Shareholders in attendance in person or by proxy at the EGM. As such, there is no assurance of all the resolutions including but not limited to the above resolutions will be approved by the Independent Shareholders and all the conditions in the Intralot Agreement, the GCH Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement will be fulfilled. If any of the conditions precedent set out in the aforesaid agreements does not be satisfied, the Open Offer will not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are urged to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

(VIII) GENERAL

The Independent Board Committee, comprising all non-executive Directors and independent non-executive Directors in compliance with Rule 2.8 of the Takeovers Code, will be established to consider the terms of the Disposal Agreements (including the CB Repurchases), the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking, the Open Offer (including the absence of excess application arrangement under the Open Offer), the Underwriting Agreement (including the Whitewash Waiver), the Proposed Increase in Authorised Capital and the transactions contemplated thereunder and advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Disposal Agreements (including the CB Repurchases), the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking, the Open Offer (including the absence of excess application arrangement under the Open Offer), the Underwriting Agreement (including the Whitewash Waiver), the Proposed Increase in Authorised Capital and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and its recommendation as to the voting, after taking into account the recommendation of the independent financial adviser.

In this connection, an independent financial adviser will be appointed by the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms under the the Disposal Agreements (including the CB Repurchases), the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking, the Open Offer (including the absence of excess application arrangement under the Open Offer), the Underwriting Agreement (including the Whitewash Waiver), the Proposed Increase in Authorised Capital and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and its recommendation as to the voting. Further announcement will be made by the Company as and when the independent financial adviser is appointed.

As additional time is required, among other things, to prepare for the financial information relevant to the Transactions for inclusion in the circular pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules, the Company will apply to the Executive for a waiver from compliance with Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code and to postpone the latest date to despatch the circular of the Transactions and the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking from 4 September 2012 to 25 September 2012. The circular to be despatched in relation to the Transactions and the Intradak Exclusivity Undertaking will comply with the requirements under the GEM Listing Rules, the Takeovers Code and the Repurchase Code.

The Prospectus Documents setting out details of the Open Offer will be despatched to the Qualifying Shareholders as soon as practicable, subject to the conditions of the Open Offer and the Underwriting Agreement being satisfied.
