CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE
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.

– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this Circular is to provide you with information relating to (i) the proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital; (ii) the proposed Share Consolidation; (iii) the proposed re-election of Director; and (iv) the notice of the EGM.
(I) PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL
The existing authorised share capital of the Company is HK$20,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each, of which 1,440,000,000 Existing Shares are in issue and 560,000,000 Existing Shares are authorised but unissued as at the Latest Practicable Date.
In order to accommodate growth of the Group and to provide the Company with greater flexibility to raise funds in the future, the Board proposed the Increase in Authorised Share Capital. The Board believes the Increase in Authorised Share Capital is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Upon the Increase in Authorised Share Capital becoming effective and assuming no Existing Shares are issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the EGM to be convened on Friday, 28 May 2021, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$50,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Existing Shares, with 1,440,000,000 Existing Shares in issue and 3,560,000,000 Existing Shares authorised but unissued. The effect of the Share Consolidation on the authorised share capital is further explained in the section headed ‘‘Proposed Share Consolidation’’ below.
The proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital is subject to the approval by the Shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution at the EGM.
(II) PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every ten (10) issued and unissued Existing Shares be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share.
Effects of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$20,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK0.01 each, of which 1,440,000,000 Existing Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that no further Existing Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the EGM and the Increase in Authorised Share Capital is approved at the EGM, immediately upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company shall become HK$50,000,000 divided into 500,000,000 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.10 each, of which 144,000,000 Consolidated Shares will be in issue and fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that no further Existing Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
and the date of the EGM and the Increase in Authorised Share Capital is not approved at the EGM, immediately upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company shall become HK$20,000,000 divided into 200,000,000 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.10 each, of which 144,000,000 Consolidated Shares will be in issue and fully paid or credited as fully paid.
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any other derivatives, options, warrants, other securities or conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares. Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Increase in the Authorised Share Capital and the Share Consolidation, the implementation thereof will not 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 will not be allocated to the Shareholders who may otherwise be entitled.
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions:
-
(i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders by way of poll to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM;

(ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and
-
(iii) 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.
Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Share Consolidation, the effective date of the Share Consolidation is expected to be on Tuesday, 1 June 2021, being the second Business Day after the EGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Fractional entitlement to the Consolidated Shares
Fractional Consolidated Shares, if any, 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 Shares regardless of the number of existing share certificates held by such holder.
Application for listing of the Consolidated Shares
An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the 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 upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, 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 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. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.
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 any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought. There is no debt securities of the Company that is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange.
Odd lots arrangement and matching services
To facilitate the trading of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares, the Company has appointed Kingston Securities Limited as its designated broker to provide matching services, on a best effort basis regarding the sale and purchase of odd lots of Consolidated Shares from 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 16 June 2021 to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 7 July 2021 (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 Mr. James Lee of Kingston Securities Limited at 72/F, The Center, 99 Queen’s Road Central, Central, Hong Kong (telephone number: (+852) 2298-6228) during the office hours of such period.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
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. Any Shareholder, who is in any doubt about the odd lot arrangement, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
Shareholders or potential investors should note that (i) odd lots will be created after the Share Consolidation; (ii) odd lots arrangements do not guarantee successful matching of all odd lots at the relevant market price; and (iii) odd lots might be sold below the market price in the market.
Exchange of share certificates
Subject to the Share Consolidation having become effective, Shareholders may during the period from 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 1 June 2021 to 4:10 p.m. on Friday, 9 July 2021 (both days inclusive) submit share certificates for the Existing Shares 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, in exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares.
Thereafter, share certificates for the Existing Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may be allowed by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each share certificate for the Existing Shares cancelled or each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares, whichever the number of certificates cancelled/issued is higher.
The existing share certificates will only be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes for the period up to 4:10 p.m. on Wednesday, 7 July 2021, and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. However, the existing share certificates will continue to be good evidence of title to the Consolidated Shares on the basis of ten (10) Existing Shares for one (1) Consolidated Share. The new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be issued in red colour in order to distinguish them from the share certificates for the Existing Shares which are in gold colour.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
SHARE PRICES
The highest and lowest prices at which the Existing Shares were traded on GEM during the six months preceding and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Date | Highest | Lowest |
|---|---|---|
| HK$ | HK$ | |
| 2020 | ||
| October | 0.065 | 0.042 |
| November | 0.110 | 0.051 |
| December | 0.128 | 0.051 |
| 2021 | ||
| January | 0.120 | 0.077 |
| February | 0.100 | 0.060 |
| March | 0.098 | 0.083 |
| April (up to the Latest Practicable Date) | 0.107 | 0.085 |
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION
Pursuant to Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of the issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995, the Stock Exchange reserves the right to require the issuer either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities. Further, 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$0.10 each will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules; and (ii) taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000.
For most of the trading days during last 12 months, the share price of the Company has been lower than HK$0.1 and the existing board lot value has been less than HK$2,000. The closing price of the Existing Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date was HK$0.105 per Share. The value of each existing board lot has been less than HK$2,000. Based on the closing price of HK$0.105 per Existing Share as at the Latest Practicable Date and the existing board lot size of 12,000 Existing Shares, the Board resolved to propose the Share Consolidation, resulting in HK$1.050 per Consolidated Share and HK$12,600 per board lot of 12,000 Consolidated Shares with the view to complying with the trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules. The board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares after the Share Consolidation will remain as 12,000 Consolidated Shares.
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board considers that the proposed Share Consolidation would bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price per Consolidated Share on the Stock Exchange. Further, the Share Consolidation would 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 Share Consolidation will make investing in the Shares more attractive to a broader range of investors, in particular to institutional investors whose house rules might otherwise prohibit or restrict trading in securities that are priced below a prescribed floor, and thus help to further broaden the shareholder base of the Company.
Taking into account the lowest share price of last 12 months which was HK$0.03 per Existing Share, and that the theoretical value of one board lot of 12,000 Consolidated Shares at HK$0.3 would be HK$3,600 after the Share Consolidation, the Board believes that the Share Consolidation will best serve its purposes, including to comply with Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules and to attract more investors, by consolidating ten (10) Existing Shares into one (1) Consolidated Share, instead of the basis of 6-in-1 or 8-in-1, with the view that no share consolidation would be required again anytime soon, in case the share price fluctuates.
Also, the Board takes into account of the possible creation of fractional Consolidated Shares. On the register of Shareholders of the Company as at 28 April 2021 maintained by the Hong Kong branch share registrar, the Board notes that about 50% of the Shareholders hold the number of Existing Shares that cannot be divided by six and/or eight, which is the other possible basis of share consolidation, but all of them can be divided by ten. The Share Consolidation in the basis of 10-in-1 will minimise the creation of fractional Consolidated Shares. The Board believes that this basis will be more beneficial to the Shareholders than the basis of 6-in-1 and 8- in-1.
In determining the consolidation basis as 10-in-1, the Company has taken into consideration of the historical trend of the market price of the Existing Shares and is cautious to minimise the negative impact which may arise from odd lots and fractional Consolidated Shares. In view of the above reasons, the Board considers that the Share Consolidation is justifiable notwithstanding of the potential costs and impact arising from creation of odd lots to Shareholders. 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 fund raising activities in the next 12 months.
The Board believes that the Share Consolidation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group nor result in change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
