To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
(1) PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND
(2) NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
As disclosed in the Announcement, the Board proposes to put forward a proposal to the Shareholders to effect the Share Consolidation on the basis that every ten (10) issued and unissued Existing Shares of US$0.004 each be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of US$0.04. Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, it is also proposed that the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange be changed from 10,000 Existing Shares to 1,000 Consolidated Shares.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information regarding, among other things, (a) the Share Consolidation; (b) the Change in Board Lot Size; and (c) the notice of SGM.
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The Board proposes to put forward a proposal to the Shareholders to effect the Share Consolidation on the basis that every ten (10) issued and unissued Existing Shares of US$0.004 each be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of US$0.04.
Effect of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was US$40,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Existing Shares, of which 3,531,975,671 Existing Shares had been issued and were fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming no further Shares will be allotted, issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the SGM, immediately after the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will become US$40,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares, of which 353,197,567 Consolidated Shares (which are fully paid or credited as fully paid) will be in issue.
Status of the Consolidated Shares
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the Share Consolidation will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
Listing application
Application has been made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares to be issued and any Consolidated Shares which may fall to be issued on the exercise of the subscription right under the Options upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Consolidated 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 Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as may be 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 Share Consolidation will be conducted in accordance with the Bye-laws.
No part of the equity or debt securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange and no application is being made or is currently proposed or sought for the shares or any other securities of the Company to be listed or dealt in on any other stock exchanges.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Conditions and expected effective date of the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
-
(a) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders approving the Share Consolidation at the SGM;
-
(b) the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under the Bermuda laws (where applicable) to effect the Share Consolidation; and
-
(c) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares to be issued and any Consolidated Shares which may fall to be issued on the exercise of the subscription right under the Options upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions above had been fulfilled.
Subject to the fulfillment of the above conditions, the Share Consolidation will become effective on Tuesday, 27 September 2016, which is the business day immediately following the date of SGM on which Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange.
Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares
Fractional Consolidated Shares, if any, arising from the Share Consolidation, will not be allocated to the Shareholders, but will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Shares regardless of the number of Share certificates held by such holder.
PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
The Board also proposes that, subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange be changed from 10,000 Existing Shares to 1,000 Consolidated Shares with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 12 October 2016.
Based on the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date of HK$0.242 per Share, the current board lot value amounted to HK$2,420. The proposed new board lot of 1,000 Consolidated Shares, together with the Share Consolidation, will effectively maintain the current board lot value of HK$2,420 (based on the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation).
OTHER ARRANGEMENTS
Exchange of Share certificates
The existing Share certificates will only be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes for the period up to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 1 November 2016 and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. However, the existing Share certificates will continue to be good evidence of legal title to the Consolidated Shares on the
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
basis of ten (10) Existing Shares for one (1) Consolidated Share. The existing Share certificates will be exchanged free of charge for the new Share certificates for Consolidated Shares between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on any business day from Tuesday, 27 September 2016 to Thursday, 3 November 2016 (both dates inclusive) at the Hong Kong branch share registrar of the Company, Tricor Standard Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong. It is expected that new Share certificates will be available for collection within 10 business days after the submission of the existing Share certificates for exchange. The new Share certificates will be purple in color so as to distinguish them from the existing Share certificates which are red in color.
Odd lots arrangements and matching services
In order to alleviate the difficulties arising from the existence of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares, the Company has appointed China Everbright Securities (HK) Limited to stand in the market to provide matching services regarding the sale and purchase of the odd lots of the Consolidated Shares at the relevant market price per Consolidated Share, on a best efforts basis, to those 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 Consolidated Shares, from Wednesday, 12 October 2016 to Tuesday, 1 November 2016 (both dates inclusive). Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares may contact Mr. William Cheng of China Everbright Securities (HK) Limited at 24/F, Lee Garden One, 33 Hysan Avenue, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong at (852) 2106 8378 during office hours in the aforesaid period.
Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. If any Shareholder is in doubt about the odd lot trading arrangements, such Shareholder should consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
Trading arrangement for the Consolidated Shares
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, dealings in the Consolidated Shares are expected to commence on Tuesday, 27 September 2016 at 9:00 a.m.. Parallel trading in the Consolidated Shares (in the form of existing Share certificates and new Share certificates) will be operated from Wednesday, 12 October 2016 to Tuesday, 1 November 2016 (both dates inclusive). Further details of the expected timetable and trading arrangement of the Shares are set out in the section headed ‘‘EXPECTED TIMETABLE’’ on pages 3 to 4 of this circular.
Adjustments in relation to other securities of the Company
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were outstanding Options entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for up to an aggregate of 25,000,000 Existing Shares. The proposed Share Consolidation may cause adjustment to the exercise price of the Options and the number of Consolidated Shares to be issued under the outstanding Options pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Options and under the terms and conditions of the share option scheme of the Company granting such Options. The Company will make further announcement in respect of such adjustment as and when appropriate. Assuming there are no other adjustment events under
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
the relevant share option scheme other than the proposed Share Consolidation becoming effective, the outstanding Options will entitle holders thereof to subscribe for up to 2,500,000 Consolidated Shares.
Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 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.
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
The proposed Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares and will reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. As such, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Shares. Further, it is expected that the adjusted share price of the Company upon the completion of the Share Consolidation would reduce excessive volatility of share trading, as when the share price is too low, it would be prone to speculative trading by the market and would not be conducive to building an institutional investor base for the Company to support its on-going and long term financing activities and business expansion.
The Board also considers that the proposed Change in Board Lot Size will result in the Consolidated Shares being traded at a value per board lot which is similar to that of the current value per board lot.
Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size are beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Save for the necessary expenses for the implementation of the Share Consolidation which are expected to be insignificant in the context of the net asset value of the Company, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operation, management or financial position of the Company or the interests and rights of the Shareholders.
WARNING
Shareholders and potential investors should be aware of and take note that the Share Consolidation is conditional upon satisfaction of the conditions set out in the paragraph headed ‘‘Conditions and expected effective date of the Share Consolidation’’ above in this circular, and the Change in Board Lot Size is conditional upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective. Accordingly, the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
SGM
The Share Consolidation will be conditional, among other things, upon the passing by the Shareholders of the ordinary resolution approving the same at the SGM.
The SGM will be held on Monday, 26 September 2016 at 11:00 a.m. at Showroom 1A, 1123, Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Centre, 1 Trademart Drive, Kowloon Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong, the notice of which is, set out on pages 12 to 14 of this circular, for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Share Consolidation.

Therefore, the Chairman will demand a poll for the resolution put to the vote at the SGM pursuant to bye-law 66 of the Bye-laws. After the SGM, the poll results will be published on the respective websites of the Stock Exchange and the Company.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the SGM approving the Share Consolidation.
A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed with this circular.
