CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and midsized 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.

(Stock code: 8403)

To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 16 July 2021, the Board proposes to put forward a proposal to the Shareholders to effect the Share Consolidation on the basis that every twenty (20) issued and unissued Shares of US$0.0001 each be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of US$0.002 each.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding, among other things, details of (a) the Share Consolidation; and (b) the notice of the EGM.
PROPOSE SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The Company proposes to implement the Share Consolidation by consolidating every twenty (20) issued and unissued Shares of US$0.0001 each in the share capital of the Company into one (1) Consolidated Share of US$0.002 each.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effect of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is US$2,000,000 divided into 20,000,000,000 Shares of US$0.0001 each, of which 2,000,000,000 Shares had been allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date to the effective date of the Share Consolidation, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will be US$2,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares of US$0.002 each, of which 100,000,000 Consolidated Shares will be in issue.
All Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu with each other in all respects and the rights attached to the Consolidated Shares will not be affected by the Share Consolidation.
Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation thereof will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which the Shareholders may be entitled.
No change in board lot size
The existing Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in board lot size of 20,000 Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain unchanged at 20,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot.
Based on the closing price of HK$0.057 per existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$1.14 per Consolidated Share) as at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the value per board lot of 20,000 existing Shares is HK$1,140; and (ii) the value per board lot of 20,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$22,800 on the assumption that the Share Consolidation becomes effective.
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon:
-
(a) the passing by the Shareholders of an ordinary resolution to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM;
-
(b) the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under the laws of the Cayman Islands (where applicable) and the GEM Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation; and
-
(c) the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Dealings of the Consolidated Shares
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. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on 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 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 trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.
Listing Application
Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares to be in issue upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
None of the Shares are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Share Consolidation becomes 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 is being or is proposed to be sought. Other than the Stock Exchange, no equity or debt securities of the Company are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange on which listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.
OTHER ARRANGEMENTS
Exchange of share certificates
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is expected to be on 24 August 2021, Shareholders may, during a period between 24 August 2021 and 30 September 2021 (both dates inclusive), submit existing share certificates for the Shares, which are in light grey color, to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates, which will be in blue color. It is expected that new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be available for collection within 10 Business Days from the date of submission for the exchange. Thereafter, the existing share certificates for the Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may be from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) for each new share certificate for the Consolidated Shares to be issued or each existing share certificate for the Shares cancelled, whichever the number of certificates issued or cancelled is higher.
Nevertheless, the existing share certificates for the Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares at any time but will not be accepted for trading, settlement and registration upon completion of the Share Consolidation.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Arrangement on odd lot trading
In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares (if any) arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company will appoint a securities firm to provide matching service, on a best effort 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 the Consolidated Shares.
Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the Consolidated Shares or top up to a full board lot may, directly or through their brokers, contact Mr. Francis Cheung of Sorrento Securities Limited at 11/F, The Wellington, 198 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong or by phone at (852) 3959 9800 during office hours from 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 7 September 2021 to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 28 September 2021.
Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares (if any) should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders who are in any doubt about the odd lots matching arrangement are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.
Fractional Consolidated Shares
Fractional Consolidated Shares (if any) arising from the Share Consolidation will not be issued to the Shareholders otherwise entitled thereto but will be aggregated and sold if possible, 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 existing share certificates held by such holder.
ADJUSTMENTS IN RELATION TO OTHER SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 136,000,000 outstanding share options under the Share Option Scheme which entitle holders thereof to subscribe for 136,000,000 Shares of US$0.0001 each at an exercise price of HK$0.0508 per Share.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Option Scheme and the GEM Listing Rules, the exercise price and the number of the outstanding share options granted under the Share Option Scheme will be adjusted (the ‘‘Adjustment’’) in the following manner with effect from 24 August 2021, being the effective date of the Share Consolidation:
| Before Adjustment | Before Adjustment | After Adjustment | After Adjustment | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Adjusted | |||||
| number of | |||||
| Number of | Consolidated | Adjusted | |||
| Shares to be | Shares to be | exercise price | |||
| issued upon | issued upon | per | |||
| full exercise of | Exercise price | full exercise of | Consolidated | ||
| Date of grant | the options | per | Share | the options | Share |
| (HK$) | (HK$) | ||||
| 16 August 2019 | 136,000,000 | 0.0508 | 6,800,000 | 1.016 |
The Adjustment shall be subject to the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM.
Save as aforesaid, the Company had no other outstanding convertible securities, options, warrants or other similar rights in issue which may confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Company also has no intention to issue or grant any convertible securities, options or warrants in issue which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares on or before the effective date.
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. The ‘‘Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions’’ issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated on 1 October 2020 has further stated that (i) market price of the Shares at a level less than HK$0.1 will be considered as approaching the extremities of HK$0.01 as referred to Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules; and (ii) taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected board lot value should be greater than HK$2,000. In view of the recent trading price of the Shares, the Board considers that the Share Consolidation will enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules.
Over the past 12 months, the existing board lot value of the Company has been constantly less than HK$2,000 and the existing Shares have been trading at a closing price below HK$0.1. The Board considers that the proposed Share Consolidation, resulting in a theoretical value of HK$1.14 per Consolidated Share (based on the closing price of HK$0.057 per existing Share as at the Latest Practicable Date), would enable the Company to avoid the occurrence of non-compliance with the trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price per board lot of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, which will reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Consolidated Shares. As a result, the Share Consolidation would not only enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules, but would also attract more investors and hence broaden the Shareholder base.
The Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares and will reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. It is expected that the Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding increase in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares.
Accordingly, the Board is of the view 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 fundraising activities in the next 12 months.
NO COMPETING INTEREST
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors, controlling shareholders of the Company or their respective close associates (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) was interested in any business which competes or may compete, either directly or indirectly, with the business of the Company or had any other conflict of interests with the Company.
ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN
Set out on pages 12 to 14 of this circular is a notice convening the EGM at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed to approve the proposed Share Consolidation.
Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM in person, you are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong or via the designated URL (https://spot-emeeting.tricor.hk) by using the username and password provided on the notification letter sent by the Company on 5 August 2021, as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM (i.e. by 2:00 p.m. on 18 August 2021) or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.
VOTING AT THE EGM
Resolution at the EGM shall be conducted by way of poll, and the results of the EGM will be announced by the Company in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules.
