CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE EGM

In view of the ongoing Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the EGM to protect attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders from the risk of infection:

  • (i) Compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted for every Shareholder, proxy or other attendee at each entrance of the meeting venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the meeting venue or be required to leave the meeting venue.

  • (ii) The Company encourages each attendee to wear a surgical face mask throughout the EGM and inside the meeting venue, and to maintain a safe distance between seats.

  • (iii) No corporate gift, food or beverages will be provided at the EGM.

  • (iv) Each attendee may be asked whether (a) he/she travels outside of Hong Kong within the 14-day period immediately before the EGM; and (b) he/she is subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed quarantine. Anyone who responds positively to any of these questions may be denied entry into the meeting venue or be required to leave the meeting venue.

To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the meeting venue or require any person to leave the meeting venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the EGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders’ health and safety and consistent with recent COVID-19 guidelines for prevention and control, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the EGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions inserted, Shareholders may appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution(s) at the EGM instead of attending the EGM in person.

The proxy form is attached to the EGM Circular for Shareholders who opt to receive physical circulars. Alternatively, the proxy form can be downloaded from the “Investor Relations” section of the Company’s website at www.lotoie.com or the website of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited at www.hkexnews.hk. If you are not a registered Shareholder (if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or the Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited), you should consult directly with your banks or brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

If any Shareholder chooses not to attend the meeting in person but has any question about any resolution or about the Company, or has any matter for communication with the board of directors of the Company, he/she is welcome to contact the Company by email to [email protected] or by mail to the Company Secretary at 50th Floor, Bank of China Tower, 1 Garden Road, Central, Hong Kong.

To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

(I) INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 24 April 2020 in relation to the Share Consolidation.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information on, among other things, the Share Consolidation and a notice convening the EGM.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(II) PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every ten (10) issued and unissued Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.1 each in the share capital of the Company.

Effect of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$55,000,000.00 divided into 5,500,000,000 Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 3,158,599,836 Existing Shares have been issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that no further Existing Shares are allotted, issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the EGM, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$55,000,000.00 divided into 550,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.1 each, of which 315,859,983 Consolidated Shares (which are fully paid or credited as fully paid) will be in issue immediately upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation of the Share Consolidation is not expected to alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which Shareholders may be entitled (details of which are set out in the paragraph headed “Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares” below).

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation will be subject to the following conditions:

  • (1) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM approving the Share Consolidation;

  • (2) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval to the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares; and

  • (3) the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the GEM Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation.

The Share Consolidation will become effective on the next Business Day immediately following the fulfilment of the above conditions.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Listing Application

Application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, the Consolidated Shares, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, 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 Consolidated 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.

The Consolidated 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. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS.

None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal in is being or is proposed to be sought.

Board lot size

The Existing Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in the board lot size of 4,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain as 4,000 Consolidated Shares.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.076 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.76 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the market value of each board lot of the Existing Shares is HK$304 and the theoretical market value of each board lot of the Consolidated Shares, assuming the Share Consolidation had become effective, would be HK$3,040.

Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares

Any fractional Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation will be disregarded and will not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefits of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Existing Shares regardless of the number of existing share certificates held by such holder.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders concerned about losing out any fractional entitlement are recommended to consult their licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant and/or other professional adviser and may wish to consider the possibility of buying or selling a sufficient number of Existing Shares to make up an entitlement to receive a whole number of Consolidated Shares.

Free exchange of share certificates

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, Shareholders may, on or after Thursday, 28 May 2020 until Tuesday, 7 July 2020 (both days inclusive), submit the existing share certificates (in orange colour) for the Existing Shares to the Registrar at Shops 1712-1716, 17/F, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates (in green colour) for the Consolidated Shares, on the basis of every ten (10) Existing Shares for one (1) Consolidated Share without any fractional Consolidated Share. Thereafter, existing share certificates (in orange colour) for Existing Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 to the Registrar (or such other amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) by the Shareholders for each share certificate (in orange colour) for the Existing Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate (in green colour) issued for the Consolidated Shares, whichever the number of certificates cancelled/issued is higher. After 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 7 July 2020, existing share certificates (in orange colour) for the Existing Shares will only remain effective as documents of title and may be exchanged for certificates (in green colour) for the Consolidated Shares at any time but will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. It is expected that the new share certificates (in green colour) for the Consolidated Shares will be available for collection within 10 business days after the submission of the existing share certificates (in orange colour) to the Registrar for exchange.

Arrangement on odd lot trading

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed One China Securities Limited as an agent to provide odd lot matching services, on a best effort basis, regarding the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares from 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 11 June 2020 to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 3 July 2020 (both days inclusive). Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should contact Ms. Carmen Wong of One China Securities Limited at 2nd Floor, Cheong K. Building, 86 Des Voeux Road Central, Central, Hong Kong or at (852) 3188 2676 during the office hours (i.e. 9:00 a,m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday) of such period.

Shareholders with odd lot holdings of the Consolidated Shares should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is on a best efforts basis. Successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Adjustments in relation to other securities of the Company

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are outstanding Share Options for subscription of an aggregate of 295,836,000 Existing Shares under the Share Option Scheme. The Share Consolidation may lead to adjustments to the exercise price and/or the number of Consolidated Shares falling to be issued upon exercise of the outstanding Share Options pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Option Scheme and the GEM Listing Rules. Such adjustments will be made with reference to the following formula:

Adjusted number of Share Options = Existing number of Share Options × F

Adjusted exercise price = Existing exercise price × F[1]

Where F = 10[1] (i.e. every ten (10) Existing Shares will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share)

Based on the above adjustment formula, the expected adjustments to be made to the Share Options which were outstanding as at the Latest Practicable Date are as follows.

The adjusted exercise prices and number of Consolidated Shares falling to be issued upon exercise of the Share Options are subject to the review and confirmation in writing by the Company’s auditor, ZHONGHUI ANDA CPA Limited, as required under the Share Option Scheme.

The Company will make further announcement(s) on such adjustments as and when appropriate.

Save for the aforesaid, the Company has no other outstanding options, warrants or other securities in issue which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares, as the case may be, as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons for the Share Consolidation

Pursuant to Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of an issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the issuer may be required either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities. In addition, according to the “Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions” issued by the Stock Exchange on 28 November 2008 and updated on 30 August 2019, taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000. In view of the recent trading price(s) of the Existing Shares and the value of each board lot of the Existing Shares being less than HK$2,000, the Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation. It is expected that the Share Consolidation would bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange and allow the value of each board lot to be increased to more than HK$2,000 and thereby complying with the above-mentioned trading requirements of the Stock Exchange.

In view of the prevailing trading price of the Existing Shares which is approaching the above mentioned threshold of extremities and the value per board lot being less than HK$2,000, the Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation. The proposed Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares and reduce the number of Shares currently in issue. It is expected to bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price per Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange and increase the trading value of each board lot to a reasonable level. It will also reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Shares as a proportion of the market value of each board lot, since most of the banks/securities houses will charge a minimum transaction costs for each securities trade. The Board believes that the higher trading price of the Consolidated Shares will enhance the Company’s corporate image and therefore attract investors to invest in the Company which is beneficial to both the Company and the Shareholders.

Given the foregoing, the Company considers the proposed Share Consolidation is justifiable in light of the potential costs and to maintain compliance with the GEM Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Directors consider that the Share Consolidation is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate actions in the next 12 months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Consolidation, and the Company does not have any concrete plan to conduct any fund raising activities in the next 12 months. However, subject to prevailing market conditions in the coming 12 months, the Company may consider fund raising activities to replenish its general working capital and/or to finance any potential business opportunities after completion of the Share Consolidation when suitable fund raising opportunities arise in order to support future development of the Group. The Company will make further announcement in this regard in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules as and when appropriate.
