CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE OF SHARES SPECIFIC MANDATE TO ISSUE WARRANT SHARES AND PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL OF THE COMPANY
INTRODUCTION
At the extraordinary general meeting (the “ EGM ”) of Directel Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) to be held at Jasmine Room, 3/F, Ramada Hong Kong Hotel, 308 Des Voeux Road West, Hong Kong on Wednesday, 3 June 2015 at 11:00 a.m., resolutions relating to (i) the proposed Bonus Issue; (ii) issue and allotment of the Warrant Shares (including any further issue and allotment of warrant shares pursuant to adjustments to the Subscription Price made in accordance with the Instrument) under the Specific Mandate; and (iii) the increase in authorised share capital of the Company will be proposed, and to seek your approval of the resolutions in relation thereto to be proposed at the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE OF SHARES
Basis of Bonus Issue
Subject to the conditions as set out under the heading “Conditions of the Bonus Issue” below, the Bonus Issue is proposed to be made on the basis of two Bonus Shares for every one existing Share held on the Record Date by the Qualifying Shareholders. The Bonus Shares will be issued and credited as fully paid at par on the basis of 1,037,500,000 existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, and assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased before the Record Date, it is anticipated that 2,075,000,000 Bonus Shares will be issued under the Bonus Issue. The Bonus Shares will be credited as fully paid by way of capitalization of an amount in the share premium account of the Company. After the completion of the Bonus Issue, there will be a total of 3,112,500,000 Shares in issue as enlarged by the Bonus Issue.
Record Date and Closure of Register of Members
The Bonus Shares will be issued to the Qualifying Shareholders. Arrangement for the Excepted Shareholders is further elaborated below under the heading “Overseas Shareholders”.
The Register of Members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 9 June 2015 to Wednesday, 10 June 2015 (both days inclusive) during which no transfer of Shares will be registered, in order to determine the entitlement of the Shareholders under the Bonus Issue.
Holders of the Warrants must lodge the subscription form together with a remittance in cash for the amount of the subscription price for respective Shares no later than 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 3 June 2015 in order to participate in the Bonus Issue. If the holders of the Warrants choose not to participate in the Bonus Issue, the Bonus Issue may lead to adjustment to the subscription price and/or the number of the Warrant Shares which may fall to be issued upon the exercise of Subscription Rights of the Warrants. For details, please refer to the paragraphs set out under the heading “Adjustments to the subscription price of Warrant Shares”.
Shareholders are reminded that in order to qualify for the Bonus Issue, they must ensure that all transfers accompanied by the relevant share certificates are lodged with the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 8 June 2015.
The exact total number of Bonus Shares to be issued under the Bonus Issue will not be capable of determination until after the Record Date.
Reasons for the Bonus Issue
The Board proposed the Bonus Issue in recognition of the continual support of the Shareholders and to encourage them to support the Group in its future business development. Although there will be no change in the proportionate interest of the Shareholders in the Company and the share price per Share on an ex-entitlement basis is expected to be reduced by the same as a result of the Bonus Issue, the Directors believe that the Bonus Issue will enable the Shareholders who hold the Shares to
— 2 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
participate in the future business growth of the Company and enhance the liquidity of the Shares in the market. The Bonus Issue, which is like a declaration of dividend in the form of shares instead of cash, allows the Company to reserve cash for the future business growth of the Group, which may help enhance the value of the Shares in the future and the Shareholders are allowed to participate in such future business growth of the Group by holding the Shares and enjoying the benefit thereof, and at the same time the Company can satisfy the desire of the Shareholders to receive a dividend from the Company as a reward for their long-term support. The Bonus Shares will be credited as fully paid at par by way of capitalisation of a portion of the share premium account, which the Board considers will not adversely affect the financial position and operation of the Group.
Conditions of the Bonus Issue
The completion of Bonus Issue is conditional upon:
-
(i) the approval of the Bonus Issue by the Shareholders at the EGM;
-
(ii) the Listing Committee granting the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares; and
-
(iii) compliance with the relevant legal procedures and requirements (if any) under the applicable laws of Cayman Islands and the articles of association of the Company.
The proposed Bonus Issue and the specific mandate to issue and allot the Warrant Shares are inter-conditional. In the event that the proposed Bonus Issue is not implemented, the specific mandate to issue and allot the Warrant Shares will not proceed, and vice versa.
Status of the Bonus Shares
The Bonus Shares, upon issue, will rank pari passu with the Shares then existing in all respects, including the entitlement of receiving dividends and other distributions the record date for which is on or after the date of allotment and issue of those Bonus Shares.
Overseas Shareholders
Based on the Register of Members as at the Latest Practicable Date, there were no Overseas Shareholders. If at 4:30 p.m. on the Record Date, the Register of Members reveals there are Overseas Shareholders, an enquiry will be made by the Board pursuant to Rule 17.41(1) of the GEM Listing Rules. Upon such enquiry, if the Board considers that it would be necessary or expedient on account either of legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that place to exclude those Overseas Shareholders having registered addresses outside Hong Kong (the “Excepted Shareholders”) but not having corresponding addresses in Hong Kong from the Bonus Issue, the Bonus Shares will not be granted to the Excepted Shareholders. In such circumstance, arrangement will be made for the Bonus Shares which would otherwise have been issued to the Excepted Shareholders to be sold in the market as soon as practicable after dealings commence. Any net proceeds of such sale, after deduction of expenses, of
— 3 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
HK$100 or more will be distributed in Hong Kong dollars to the relevant Excepted Shareholders, if any, pro rata to their respective shareholdings and remittances therefore will be posted to them by ordinary post at their own risk, unless the amount falling to be distributed to any such person is less than HK$100 in which case it will be retained for the benefit of the Company.
Fractions of Bonus Shares
No fractional entitlements arising from the Bonus Issue (if any) will be issued to the Shareholders, but will be aggregated and issued and sold for the benefit of the Company.
SPECIFIC MANDATE TO ISSUE AND ALLOT WARRANT SHARES
Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 30 April 2014 and 29 May 2014 for the issue and allotment of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares under the General Mandate and the announcement dated 15 May 2015 for the Specific Mandate to issue and allot the Warrant Shares.
Since the expected increase in the number of Warrant Shares from 200,000,000 to 600,000,000 would exceed the General Mandate, the Company will seek the grant of the Specific Mandate to issue and allot the Warrant Shares (including any further issue and allotment of warrant shares pursuant to adjustments to the Subscription Price made in accordance with the Instrument) at the EGM.
Conditions of the issue and allotment of the Warrant Shares
The completion of the issue and allotment of the Warrant Shares is conditional upon:
-
(i) the completion of the Bonus Issue;
-
(ii) the approval of the issue and allotment of Warrant Shares by the Shareholders at the EGM; and
-
(iii) the Listing Committee shall have granted (either unconditionally or subject to conditions to which neither the Company nor the Subscriber shall object without reasonable grounds) the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Warrant Shares which fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the Subscription Rights attached to the Warrants.
The proposed Bonus Issue and the Specific Mandate to issue and allot the Warrant Shares are inter-conditional. In the event that the proposed Bonus Issue is not implemented, the Specific Mandate to issue and allot the Warrant Shares will not proceed, and vice versa. The proposed Bonus Issue and the Specific Mandate to issue and allot the Warrant Shares are made inter-conditional, since the Company will not be able to issue and allot the full number of Warrant Shares to the holder of the Warrants as a result of the adjustment to the Subscription Price if the Bonus Issue was completed and such Specific Mandate was not granted and the relative interests of the holder(s) of the Warrants in the Company will not be fairly and appropriately reflected.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Principal terms of the Warrants
Number of Warrants:
200,000,000 Warrants, issued by the Company at HK$0.01, conferring the rights to the Subscriber to subscribe up to 200,000,000 Warrant Shares (subject to adjustment).
Based on the initial subscription price of HK$0.1648 per Warrant Share and assuming that there will not be any change in the issued share capital of the Company before the exercise of the Subscription Rights in full (other than the issue of the Warrant Shares), upon the exercise of the Subscription Rights in full, 200,000,000 Warrant Shares will be issued, representing approximately 19.28% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and approximately 16.16% of the issued share capital as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Warrant Shares.
As confirmed by China Galaxy International Securities (Hong Kong) Co., Limited, an approved marchant bank, assuming there is no other change to the share capital of the Company and the holders of the Warrants did not participate in the Bonus Issue, the Directors estimate that the Subscription Price will be adjusted from HK$0.1648 per Warrant Share to HK$0.0549 per Warrant Share and consequently the number of Warrant Shares will be adjusted from 200,000,000 to 600,000,000, representing approximately 57.83% of the existing issued capital of the Company and approximately 16.16% of the issued share capital as enlarged by the issue and allotment of the Warrant Shares and the Bonus Issue.
Status:
The Warrants were constituted by way of deed poll executed by the Company. The Warrants rank pari passu in all respects among themselves.
Form:
The Warrants were issued upon completion in registered form. Definitive certificates were issued to the Subscriber.
Issue Price: Subscription Price:
HK$0.01 per Warrant payable in cash.
Each Warrant carries the right to subscribe for one Share at an initial Subscription Price of HK$0.1648 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment provisions of the Instrument as referred to under the paragraphs set out under the section headed “Provisions relating to the adjustment of Subscription Price of the Warrant Shares”.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

-
Rights of holders of Warrants on liquidation:

The Company shall give notice to the holders of the Warrants of the passing of such resolution within seven days after the passing thereof.
If an effective resolution is passed during the exercise period for the voluntary winding up of the Company for the purpose of reconstruction or amalgamation pursuant to a scheme of arrangement to which the holders of the Warrants, or some persons designated by them for such purpose by special resolution, shall be a party or in conjunction with which a proposal is made to the holders of the Warrants and is approved by special resolution, the terms of such scheme of arrangement or (as the case may be) proposal shall be binding on all the holders of the Warrants.

(C) Notwithstanding the provisions referred to in paragraphs (A) and (B) above, in any circumstance where the Directors shall consider that an adjustment to the Subscription Price provided for under the said provisions should not be made or should be calculated on a different basis or that an adjustment to the Subscription Price should be made notwithstanding that no such adjustment is required, or that an adjustment should take effect on a different date or from a different time from that provided for under the said provisions, the Company may appoint an approved merchant bank or the auditors of the Company to consider whether for any reason whatever the adjustment to be made (or the absence of adjustment) would not or might not fairly and appropriately reflect the relative interests of the persons affected thereby and, if such approved merchant bank or the auditors of the Company shall consider this to be the case, the adjustment shall be modified or nullified or an adjustment made instead of no adjustment in such manner (including, without limitation, making an adjustment calculated on a different basis and/or the adjustment shall take effect from such other date and/or time) as shall be certified by such approved merchant bank or the auditors of the Company to be in its opinion appropriate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Adjustment to Subscription Price and number of Warrant Shares
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 200,000,000 Warrants outstanding. As agreed between the Company and the Subscriber on 21 April 2015, the Subscription Price shall be adjusted pursuant to paragraph (C) under the section headed “Provisions relating to the adjustment of the Subscription Price of the Warrant Shares”, on the basis that (i) the proposed Bonus Issue and the Specific Mandate to issue and allot the Warrant Shares are approved by the Shareholders at the upcoming EGM or any adjournment thereof; and (ii) there are no further changes in the share capital of the Company before the Bonus Issue. As a result of the Bonus Issue, the Subscription Price for the Warrant Shares and the number of Warrant Shares will be adjusted from HK$0.1648 to HK$0.0549 and 200,000,000 to 600,000,000 Shares respectively.
The adjustment provision and mechanism under paragraph (A)(ii) under the section headed “Provisions relating to the adjustment of Subscription Price of the Warrant Shares” is applicable to the proposed Bonus Issue. Pursuant to the adjustment provision under such paragraph (A)(ii) and applying the relevant rounding mechanisms, the adjusted Subscription Price will be rounded to the nearest cent. In accordance with the calculations based on the above adjustment, the Directors estimate that the adjusted Subscription Price will be HK$0.05 per Warrant Share and the total number of the Warrant Shares to be issued will be approximately 659,200,000 which will represent approximately 17.48% of the issued share capital as enlarged by the issue and allotment of the Warrant Shares and the Bonus Issue.
Assuming there is no other change to the issued share capital of the Company and before the Bonus Issue, the number of Warrant Shares of 200,000,000 represent approximately 16.16% of the issued share capital as enlarged by the issue and allotment of the Warrant Shares. Therefore, the Directors are of the opinion that the application of the above adjustment mechanism pursuant to paragraph (A)(ii) under the section headed “Provisions relating to the adjustment of Subscription Price of the Warrant Shares” will have a dilutive effect on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders and the adjustment should be calculated on a different basis pursuant to paragraph (C) under the same section.
In order to achieve a result which will be fair and appropriately reflect the relative interests of the Shareholders and holder(s) of the Warrants, the Directors have relied on the adjustment provision under paragraph (C) and will apply the same formula for paragraph A(ii) but the adjusted Subscription Price will be rounded to the nearest four decimal places instead of the nearest cent. Based on the foregoing, the Directors estimate that the adjusted Subscription Price will be HK$0.0549 per Warrant Share and the total number of the Warrant Shares to be issued will be approximately 600,000,000 which will represent approximately 16.16% of the issued share capital as enlarged by the issue and allotment of Warrant Shares and the Bonus Issue.

PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL
The current authorised share capital of the Company is HK$40,000,000 divided into 4,000,000,000 ordinary shares of HK$0.01 each, whereas 1,037,500,000 ordinary shares have been issued as of the date of this circular. In order to accommodate the future expansion and growth of the Group, the Board of the Company proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company to HK$100,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 ordinary shares of HK$0.01 each, by the creation of an additional 6,000,000,000 ordinary shares of HK$0.01 each. The additional ordinary shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with the existing ordinary shares.
The proposed increase in authorised share capital of the Company is determined by taking into account the Bonus Issue as well as the Company’s need for flexibility to issue new Shares for future expansion and growth and is conditional upon, among others, the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to be proposed at the EGM. The Board is of the view that the proposed increase in authorised share capital of the Company will provide flexibility to the Company in determining its future business plan, and is therefore in the interest of the Shareholders. The Company currently has no intention to issue any part of the new authorised share capital of the Company upon the approval of the Shareholders having been obtained in respect of the increase in the authorised share capital of the Company at the EGM.
