LETTER FROM THE BOARD

TERMS OF THE CP SHARES

HK$14,308,601.30 of the authorised but unissued share capital of the Company will be reclassified and designated into 143,086,013 CP Shares of HK$0.10 each in the capital of the Company having certain special rights and restrictions.

The CP Shares will not be listed on the Stock Exchange or any other stock market. However, the Company will apply for the listing on the Stock Exchange of the Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the conversion rights of the CP Shares.

The following is a summary of the special rights and restrictions to be attached to the CP Shares:

(1) Voting and General meetings

The holders of CP Shares will be entitled to receive notice of every general meeting of the Company but will not be entitled (i) to vote upon any resolution unless it is a resolution for winding-up the Company or reducing its share capital in any manner or a resolution modifying, varying or abrogating any of the special rights attached to the CP Shares or (ii) to attend or speak at any general meeting of the Company unless the business of the meeting includes the consideration of a resolution upon which the holders of CP Shares are entitled to vote.

(2) Conversion

  • (a) Unless previously redeemed, cancelled or converted, each holder of CP Shares will be entitled to convert in respect of the whole or any part of its CP Shares into fully paid Ordinary Shares on the basis of one Ordinary Share for every CP Share at any time after the date of issue of the CP Shares upon the giving of a conversion notice in such form as the Directors may from time to time prescribe.

  • (b) If the Continuing Notice is served before the end of business on the Maturity Date, the relevant CP Shares will not be subject to mandatory conversion.

  • (c) At the end of business on the Maturity Date, unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled, converted or that a Continuing Notice has been served and delivered to the Company, all CP Shares will be mandatorily converted into Ordinary Shares by the Company.

  • (d) The Dividend (as defined herein after) entitlement attaching to any CP Shares will cease to apply with effect from the date of conversion. Ordinary Shares arising on conversion shall rank pari passu in all respects with Ordinary Shares, including the rights to receive any dividends and other distributions declared.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (e) So long as the Company remains listed in Hong Kong, the holders of the CP Shares shall not exercise their right to convert the CP Shares into Ordinary Shares of the Company unless at least 25% of the Company’s total issued share capital that is listed on the Stock Exchange is at all times held by the public.

(3) Dividend

The holders of CP Shares shall have the same right to dividend payment as to the holders of Ordinary Shares (‘‘Dividend’’). Apart from the Dividend, the CP Shares shall not confer on the holders thereof any right to participate in the profits of the Company until conversion into Ordinary Shares.

(4) Transferability

None of the CP Shares will be assignable or transferable without the prior written approval of the Board of the Company. The Company will not apply for a listing of any of the CP Shares on any stock exchange anywhere in the world.

(5) Capital

On a distribution of assets on a winding-up or other return of capital, the surplus assets of the Company remaining after payment of its liabilities will be applied in priority to any payment to the holders of the Ordinary Shares in paying to the holders of the CP Shares a sum equal to (i) the nominal capital paid up or credited as paid up on the CP Shares held by them respectively; and (ii) all arrears (if any) of the Dividend thereon as at (and calculated up to) the date of commencement of the winding up (in the case of a winding up) or the return of capital (in any other case), apart from the aforesaid, the CP Shares will not confer on the holders thereof any further right to participate in the assets of the Company.

(6) Other Provisions

  • (a) So long as any CP Shares are not yet redeemed, cancelled or converted, then save with such consent or sanction on the part of the holders of CP Shares as is required for a variation of the rights attached to such shares:

  • (i) If any offer or invitation by way of rights or otherwise or any capital distribution is made to the holders of the Ordinary Shares then (unless the conversion rate (on the basis of one Ordinary Share for every CP Share) falls to be adjusted in consequence of the proposed offer, invitation or capital distribution and the Directors shall have determined to do so) the Company will make or, so far as it is able, procure that there is made at the same time a like offer, invitation or capital distribution to each holder of CP Shares as if its conversion rights had been exercisable and exercised in full on the record date for such offer, invitation or capital distribution (as the case may be) on the basis of the conversion rate then applicable.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) If an offer is made to the holders of Ordinary Shares (other than the offeror and/or any company controlled by the offeror and/or any persons acting in concert with the offeror) to acquire the whole or any part of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company or if any person proposes a scheme with regard to such acquisition, and the Company becomes aware that the right to cast more than 50% of the votes which may ordinarily be cast on a poll at a general meeting of the Company has or will become vested in the offeror, the Company will give written notice to all holders of CP Shares of such vesting and each such holder shall be entitled within the period of 3 months from the date of such notice to convert the whole or any part of its CP Shares into fully-paid Ordinary Shares except that the restriction in the first sentence of sub-paragraph (b) below shall not apply.

  • (b) Any Dividend on the CP Shares remaining unclaimed after a period of 6 years from the date of declaration of such dividend will be forfeited and will revert to the Company.

(7) Adjustments

Save and except for the issue of the Warrants of the Company which is expected to be in December 2008, the number of Ordinary Shares arising on any subsequent conversion of CP Shares will be adjusted if, whilst any CP Shares remain outstanding, (i) the Company shall make any issue of Ordinary Shares by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any share premium account and capital redemption reserve) other than capitalisation of profits or reserves in lieu of cash dividends or in connection with a redemption or conversion of CP Shares to the holders of Ordinary Shares; (ii) there shall be an alteration to the nominal value of Ordinary Shares as a result of a consolidation or sub-division; (iii) the Company shall make any capital distribution to holders of Ordinary Shares; (iv) the Company shall offer to holders of Ordinary Shares as a class new Ordinary Shares by way of rights at a price which is less than the current market price per Ordinary Share (being the average closing prices published in the daily quotation sheet of the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive preceding Business Day) at the date of announcement of the terms of the offer; (v) the Company shall offer to holders of Ordinary Shares as a class, to the public generally or by way of placement any warrants or options (other than pursuant to the share option scheme established by the Company on 26 February 2004) to subscribe for Ordinary Shares.

(8) Redemption

Subject to the provisions of the Act, the Company shall be entitled, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the date of issue of the CP Shares by resolution of the directors of the Company to redeem all or any of the CP Shares. There shall be paid on each CP Share redeemed a sum equal to (i) the subscription price thereof and (ii) all arrears (if any) of the Dividend thereon. As from the Redemption Date such Dividend shall cease to apply.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

AMENDMENTS TO THE BYE-LAWS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$80,000,000 comprising 800,000,000 Shares, of which 429,258,039 Shares have been issued and are fully paid. To meet the needs of the Open Offer and Bonus Warrant Issue, special resolutions and ordinary resolution are proposed to approve the increase of authorised share capital of the Company from HK$80,000,000 to HK$160,000,000 by the creation of an additional 800,000,000 Ordinary Shares, the creation of the CP Shares by the redesignation of a portion of the unissued Ordinary Shares into CP Shares, the corresponding amendments to the Bye-Laws of the Company to reflect the terms of the CP Shares, and the issue of the CP Shares and the Warrants. Subsequent to the proposed issuance of the CP Shares and the Bonus Warrant Issue, and assuming that the CP Shares are fully subscribed and issued and new Ordinary Shares are fully subscribed and issued pursuant to the Warrants, the remaining balance of the authorised but unissued share capital of the Company will be reduced from HK$117,074,196.1 to HK$93,226,527.3.

Subject to the Open Offer, the Bonus Warrant Issue and Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the conversion rights and subscription rights attaching to the Open Offer and Warrants, the Company has no present intention to issue any part of the increased capital if the proposed increase in authorised share capital is approved at the SGM.

The full text of the amendments to the Bye-Laws that are proposed is set out in the notice of SGM on pages 27 to 38 of this circular. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Shareholders had any interest that is different from the other Shareholders and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in respect of the proposed resolutions approving the Warrants.

BONUS WARRANT ISSUE

Basis of Bonus Warrant Issue

The Board also proposes that the issue of bonus Warrants be granted to the Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on the Warrant Record Date and whose addresses in the register of members of the Company are in Hong Kong on the basis of one Warrant for every six Shares (whether Ordinary Shares or CP Shares) held on the Warrant Record Date. Each unit of Warrant will entitle its holder to subscribe for one new Ordinary Share. The Bonus Warrant Issue is separated from the proposed Open Offer and the Bonus Warrant Issue is not to be granted as part of the proposed Open Offer. If the conditions of the Open Offer are not fulfilled and the Open Offer is thus lapsed, the Bonus Warrant Issue will still proceed.

Number of Warrants to be issued

Based on 429,258,039 Ordinary Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and the 143,086,013 Offer CP Shares to be issued under the proposed Open Offer, the total number of Warrants to be issued will be not less than 71,543,006 units (assuming that the Open Offer does not proceed) and not more than 95,390,675 units (assuming that the Open Offer does proceed and the issued share capital is thus enlarged), entitling the holders

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

thereof to subscribe for not less than 71,543,006 Ordinary Shares and not more than 95,390,675 Ordinary Shares. Assuming that no adjustment is made to the initial subscription price, exercise in full of such Warrants will result in the issue of not less than 71,543,006 new Ordinary Shares and not more than 95,390,675 new Ordinary Share, representing not less than 16.7 per cent and not more than 22.2 per cent of the existing issued share capital of the Company and approximately not less than 14.3 per cent and not more than 18.2 per cent of the existing issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of new Ordinary Shares on exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants and, on the basis of the initial subscription price of HK$0.8 per Ordinary Share, the receipt by the Company of not less than approximately HK$57.2 million and not more than approximately HK$76.3 million before deduction of expenses. However, the maximum number of Warrants to be issued will not exceed 20% of the number of the then issued Shares at the time the Warrants are issued.

Quinselle and Mr. Lee Seng Jin, its controlling shareholder, have confirmed to the Company that if it is foreseeable that they will hold more than 75% of the Warrants upon issue, they will place down the excess Warrants before listing so as to ensure that at least 25% of the Warrants will be held by the public at the time of listing. The Stock Exchange has indicated that it will not grant the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Warrants if there will be insufficient public float of the Warrants at the time of listing.

The Bonus Warrant Issue will not be registered or filed under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction outside Hong Kong and Bermuda. As the Directors are of the view that the offer or issue of Warrants to Overseas Shareholders would or might, in the absence of compliance with registration or other special formalities in other territories, be unlawful or impracticable, no offer or issue of such Warrants will be made to any Overseas Shareholders. Arrangements will be made for the Warrants which would otherwise have been issued to the Overseas Shareholders to be sold in the market as soon as practicable after dealings in the Warrants commence, if a premium, net of expenses, can be obtained. Any net proceeds of sale, after deduction of expenses, will be distributed in Hong Kong dollars to such persons in proportion to their shareholdings and remittances therefrom will be posted to them 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.

The Bermuda Monetary Authority has granted its approval for the issue of the Warrants and any Ordinary Shares falling to be issued upon the exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants. In granting such approval, the Bermuda Monetary Authority accepts no responsibility for the financial soundness of the Company or for the correctness of any of the statements made or opinions expressed in this circular or any of the documents referred to herein.

Fractional entitlements to the Warrants will not be issued to Shareholders but will be retained by the Company, aggregated and sold in the market as soon as practicable, with the net proceeds retained for the benefit of the Company.

A summary of the terms and conditions of the Warrant, including circumstances in which the subscription price may be adjusted, is set out in Appendix to this circular.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Comparison of prices

The initial subscription price of HK$0.8 per Ordinary Share presents:

  • (a) a premium of approximately 27.0% over the closing price of Shares of HK$0.63 per Share, as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 24 September 2008, being the date of the Announcement;

  • (b) a premium of approximately 23.1% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.65 per Share, being the average closing price of Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 10 days up to and including the date of the Announcement;

  • (c) a premium of approximately 29.0% over the closing price of Shares of HK$0.62 per Share, as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date: and

  • (d) a premium of approximately 27.0% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.63 per Share, being the average closing price of Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days up to and including the Latest Practicable Date.

Conditions

The proposed Bonus Warrant Issue will be conditional on the following:

  1. The passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Bonus Warrant Issue at the SGM; and

  2. The Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting or agreeing to grant listing of, and permission to deal in, the Warrants and any Ordinary Shares which fall to be issued upon the exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants.

The Warrants are expected to be issued on Friday, 5 December 2008 after these conditions have been fulfilled.

Reasons for the Open Offer and the Bonus Warrant Issue and Use of Proceeds

The Board believes that the Open Offer and the Bonus Warrant Issue will provide Shareholders with an opportunity to further participate in the future growth of the Company. The Open Offer and the Bonus Warrant Issue will also strengthen the equity base of the Company and increase the Company’s working capital and satisfy part of the capital expenditure of the production line of the Group in Shandong Province, the PRC, if and when the proceeds received from the Open Offer. At the same time the Open Offer and the Bonus Warrant Issue also allow the Shareholders to maintain their shareholdings in the Company if they so wish.

The net proceeds of the Open Offer is currently estimated to be approximately HK$100.2 million and the net proceeds of the Bonus Warrant Issue is currently estimated to be approximately not less than HK$57.2 million and not more than HK$76.3 million

SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE WARRANTS

APPENDIX

The Warrants will be issued subject to and with the benefit of an instrument by way of deed poll (the ‘‘Instrument’’) executed by the Company and they will be issued in registered form and will form one class and rank pari passu in all respects with each other. On the basis of 429,258,039 Shares in issue at the Latest Practicable Date and 143,086,013 CP Shares to be issued under the proposed Open Offer, the total number of Warrants to be issued will be not less than 71,543,006 units (assuming that the Open Offer does not proceed) and not more than 95,390,675 units (assuming that the Open Offer does proceed and the issued share capital is thus enlarged). Warrants conferring rights to subscribe up to a maximum of not less than HK$57.2 million and not more than HK$76.3 million in aggregate for Ordinary Shares, equivalent to the aggregate subscription price for a total of not less than 71,543,006 Ordinary Shares and not more than 95,390,675 Ordinary Shares on the basis of an initial subscription price of HK$0.8 per Ordinary Share (subject to adjustment), will be in issue immediately upon completion of the Warrants. The Warrants are not renounceable.

The Warrants will represent direct obligations of the Company to holders of Warrants (‘‘Warrantholders’’) as described in the Instrument. The following is a summary of the major provisions of the Instrument and of the principal terms and conditions of the Warrants (‘‘Warrant Conditions’’) set out on the Warrant certificates. Warrantholders will be entitled to the benefit of, be bound by, and be deemed to have notice of all such terms and conditions and of the provisions of the Instrument, draft copy of which (subject to adjustments) will be available for inspection at the principal place of business for the time being of the Company in Hong Kong on or before 24 October 2008.

1. SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

  • (a) Each Warrantholder shall have, in respect of the Warrants of which he is the registered holder for the time being, rights (the ‘‘Subscription Rights’’) which may be exercised in whole or in part, but not in respect of any fraction of an Ordinary Share, at any time for a period of 18 months from the date of issue (which is expected to be on 5 December 2008) up to 4 June 2010 (or such earlier date as provided in the Instrument) (both days inclusive) (the ‘‘Subscription Period’’) (the date on which any of the Subscription Rights are duly exercised being called a ‘‘Subscription Date’’) to subscribe in cash the whole or part (in integral multiples of HK$0.8) of the amount stated on the certificate for such Warrants which a Warrantholder is entitled to subscribe for Ordinary Shares upon exercise of the Subscription Rights represented thereby (the ‘‘Exercise Moneys’’), for fully-paid Ordinary Shares at a price of HK$0.8 per Ordinary Share (subject to adjustment as referred to below) being the ‘‘Subscription Price’’. Since the Instrument provides that a Subscription Date is to fall on any Business Day during the Subscription Period, the last Subscription Date before the expiry of the Subscription Period will be 4 June 2010. Any Subscription Rights which have not been exercised upon the expiry of the Subscription Period will lapse and thereupon, the Warrants and the Warrant certificates will cease to be valid for any purpose whatsoever.

– 17 –

APPENDIX

SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE WARRANTS

  • (b) The entitlement of Warrantholders to their Warrants is evidenced by Warrant certificates, each of which contains a subscription form (the ‘‘Subscription Form’’). In order to exercise his Subscription Rights, a Warrantholder must complete and sign the Subscription Form (which shall be irrevocable) and deliver the same and the Warrant certificate to the Warrant registrar for the time being of the Company in Hong Kong, together with a remittance for the relevant portion of the Exercise Moneys, being the amount of the Subscription Price for the Ordinary Shares in respect of which the Warrantholder is exercising his Subscription Rights. In each case compliance must also be made with any exchange control, fiscal or other laws or regulations for the time being applicable.

  • (c) No fraction of an Ordinary Share will be allotted but in the event that a Warrantholder remits subscription moneys in excess of the Subscription Price due for the Ordinary Shares in respect of which he is exercising his Subscription Rights, any such excess will be refunded by the Company to the Warrantholder, provided always that, if the Subscription Rights attaching to the Warrants represented by one or more Warrant certificates are exercised on the same Subscription Date by the same Warrantholder then, for the purpose of determining whether any (and if so, what) excess arises, such Subscription Rights shall be aggregated.

  • (d) The Company has undertaken in the Instrument that any Ordinary Shares falling to be issued upon the exercise of any of the Subscription Rights attaching to the Warrant(s) represented by the relevant Warrant certificates will be allotted and issued not later than 28 days after the relevant Subscription Date and, taking into account of any adjustment that may have been made as mentioned below, will rank pari passu with the fully-paid Ordinary Shares in issue on the relevant Subscription Date and will accordingly entitle the holders to participate in all dividends or other distributions declared, paid or made after the relevant Subscription Date other than any dividend or other distribution previously declared or recommended or resolved to be paid or made if the record date therefor shall be on or before the relevant Subscription Date and notice of the amount and record date for which shall have been given to the Stock Exchange (as defined in the Instrument) prior to the relevant Subscription Date.

  • (e) As soon as practicable after the relevant allotment and issue of Ordinary Shares (and in any event not later than 28 days after the relevant Subscription Date) there will be issued free of charge to the Warrantholder to whom such allotment has been made upon his exercise of any Subscription Rights:

  • (i) a certificate for the relevant Ordinary Shares in the name(s) of such Warrantholder(s);

  • (ii) (if applicable) a balancing Warrant certificate in registered form in the name(s) of such Warrantholder(s) in respect of any Subscription Rights represented by the relevant Warrant certificate remaining unexercised;

APPENDIX

  • (iii) (if applicable) a cheque representing the excess (if any) of the amount remitted over the total amount payable in respect of the Subscription Rights being exercised as mentioned in sub-paragraph (c) above; and

  • (iv) (if applicable) a relevant deficiency certificate for such number of additional Ordinary Shares as is equal to the difference between the maximum number and the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares which the Company would otherwise have been required to allot had there been sufficient profits and reserves to be applied and to be allotted for the purpose stated in the terms of the Warrant Instrument (‘‘Deficiency Certificate’’).

The certificate for Ordinary Shares arising on the exercise of Subscription Rights, the balancing Warrant certificate (if any) and, the cheque in respect of a refund (if any) and the said Deficiency Certificate (if any) will be sent by post at the risk of the said Warrantholder(s) to the address of such Warrantholder(s) (or, in the case of a joint holding, to that one of the joint Warrantholders whose name stands first in the register of Warrantholders).

2. ADJUSTMENTS OF SUBSCRIPTION PRICE

The Instrument contains detailed provisions relating to the adjustment of the Subscription Price. The following is a summary of, and is subject to, the adjustment provisions of the Instrument:

  • (a) The Subscription Price shall (except as mentioned in sub-paragraphs (b) and (c) below) be adjusted as provided in the Instrument in each of the following cases (but shall however not be adjusted below the nominal value of Ordinary Shares until the Subscription Right Reserve (as defined in the Instrument) is maintained):

  • (i) an alteration of the nominal amount of each Ordinary Share by reason of any consolidation, subdivision or reclassification;

  • (ii) an issue (other than in lieu of a cash dividend) by the Company of Ordinary Shares credited as fully-paid by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve fund);

  • (iii) a capital distribution (as defined in the Instrument) being made by the Company, whether on a reduction of capital or otherwise, to holders of Ordinary Shares (in their capacity as such);

  • (iv) a grant by the Company to holders of Ordinary Shares (in their capacity as such) of rights to acquire for cash assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (as defined in the Instrument);

  • (v) an offer of new Ordinary Shares for subscription by way of rights, or a grant of options or warrants to subscribe new Ordinary Shares, at a price which is less than 90 per cent of the market price at the date of the announcement of

the terms of the offer or grant (calculated as provided in the Instrument) being made by the Company to holders of Ordinary Shares (in their capacity as such);

  • (vi) an issue wholly for cash being made by the Company or any other company of securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights of subscription for new Ordinary Shares, if in any case the total Effective Consideration (as defined in the Instrument) per new Ordinary Share is less than 90 per cent of the market price at the date of the announcement of the terms of issue of such securities (calculated as provided in the Instrument), or the conversion, exchange or subscription rights of any such issue are altered so that the said total Effective Consideration is less than 90 per cent of such market price;

  • (vii) an issue of Ordinary Shares being made wholly for cash at a price less than 90 per cent of the market price at the date of the announcement of the terms of such issue (calculated as provided in the Instrument); and

  • (viii) the purchase by the Company of Ordinary Shares or securities convertible into Ordinary Shares or any rights to acquire Ordinary Shares (excluding any such purchase made on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange recognised for this purpose by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong or equivalent authority and the Stock Exchange) in circumstances where the Directors consider that it may be appropriate to make an adjustment to the Subscription Price.

  • (b) Except as mentioned in sub-paragraph (c) below, no such adjustment as is referred to in sub-paragraph (a)(ii) to (vii) above shall be made in respect of:

  • (i) an issue of fully-paid Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of any conversion, exchange or subscription rights attaching to securities convertible into Ordinary Shares or exchangeable for Ordinary Shares or upon the exercise of any rights (including the Subscription Rights) to acquire Ordinary Shares;

  • (ii) an issue by the Company of Ordinary Shares or by the Company or any Subsidiary (as defined in the Instrument) of securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights to acquire Ordinary Shares, in any such case in consideration or part consideration for the acquisition of any other securities, assets or business;

  • (iii) an issue of fully-paid Ordinary Shares by way of capitalisation of all or part of the Subscription Right Reserve (as defined in the Instrument) or any similar reserve which has been or may be established pursuant to the terms of issue of any other securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights to acquire Ordinary Shares;

SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE WARRANTS

APPENDIX

  • (iv) an issue of Ordinary Shares pursuant to a scrip dividend scheme (as defined in the Instrument) where an amount not less than the nominal amount of the Ordinary Shares so issued is capitalised and the market value (calculated as provided in the Instrument) of such Ordinary Shares is not more than 110 per cent of the amount of dividend which holders of Ordinary Shares could elect to or would otherwise receive in cash; or

  • (v) an issue by the Company of Ordinary Shares or by the Company or any Subsidiary of securities convertible into or exchangeable for or carrying rights of subscription for Ordinary Shares pursuant to a Share Option Scheme (as defined in the Instrument).

  • (c) Notwithstanding the provisions referred to in sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) above, in any circumstances where the Directors 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 under the said provisions or that an adjustment should take effect on a different date or with a different time from that provided for under the said provisions, the Company may appoint either (at the option of the Company) an approved merchant bank (as defined in the Instrument) or the Auditors (as defined in the Instrument) to consider whether for any reason whatever the adjustment to be made (or the absence of adjustment) would or might not fairly and appropriately reflect the relative interests of the persons affected thereby and, if such approved merchant bank or the Auditors (as the case may be) considers this to be the case, the adjustment will 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 such adjustment shall take effect from such other day and/or time as is certified by such approved merchant bank or the Auditors to be in its opinion appropriate.

  • (d) Any adjustment to the Subscription Price will be made to the nearest one cent (HK$0.005 being rounded up). No adjustment will be made to the Subscription Price in any case in which the amount by which the same would be reduced would be less than one cent and any adjustment which would otherwise then be required will not be carried forward. In no event will an adjustment be made (except on a consolidation of Ordinary Shares into shares of a larger nominal amount each or upon a repurchase of Ordinary Shares) which would increase the Subscription Price.

  • (e) Every adjustment to the Subscription Price will be certified by the Auditors or an approved merchant bank and notice of each such adjustment (giving the relevant particulars) will be given to the Warrantholders. Any such certificates of the Auditors and/or approved merchant bank will be available for inspection by the Warrantholders at the principal place of business for the time being of the Company in Hong Kong, where copies may be obtained.

SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE WARRANTS

3. REGISTERED WARRANTS

The Warrants are issued in registered form. The Company shall be entitled to treat the registered holder of any Warrant as the absolute owner thereof and accordingly shall not, except as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or as required by law, be bound to recognise any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Warrant on the part of any other person, whether or not it has express or other notice thereof.

4. TRANSFER, TRANSMISSION AND REGISTER

The Warrants shall be transferable in integral multiples of 14,000 units by an instrument of transfer in any usual or common form or such other form as may be approved by the Directors or, where the transferor and/or the transferee is HKSCC Nominees Limited, by an instrument of transfer executed under hand by authorised person(s) or by machine imprinted signature(s). For this purpose, the Company shall maintain a register of Warrantholders therefor. The Instrument contains provisions relating to the transfer, transmission and registration of the Warrants. Transfers of Warrants must be executed by both the transferor and the transferee.

Persons who hold the Warrants and have not registered the Warrants in their own names and wish to exercise the Warrants may incur additional costs and expenses in connection with any expedited re-registration of the Warrants prior to the transfer or exercise of the Warrants, particularly during the period commencing ten Business Days prior to and including the last day of the Subscription Period, or such earlier date as provided in the Instrument.

Since the Warrants will be admitted to CCASS, so far as applicable laws or regulations of relevant regulatory authorities, terms of the Instrument and circumstances permit, the Company may determine the last trading day of the Warrants to be a date at least three trading days before the last day of the Subscription Period.

5. CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF WARRANTHOLDERS

The registration of transfers of Warrants may be suspended and the register of Warrantholders may be closed for such period as the Directors may from time to time direct, provided that the same shall not be closed, or registration shall not be suspended, for a period, or for periods together, of more than 30 days in any one year. Any transfer, or exercise of the Subscription Rights attached to the Warrants made while the register of Warrantholders is so closed shall, as between the Company and the person claiming under the relevant transfer of Warrants or, as the case may be, as between the Company and the Warrantholder who has so exercised the Subscription Rights attached to his Warrants (but not otherwise), be considered as made immediately after the reopening of the register of Warrantholders.

but not otherwise. All Warrants purchased as aforesaid will be cancelled forthwith and may not be re-issued or re-sold.

7. MEETINGS OF WARRANTHOLDERS AND MODIFICATION OF RIGHTS

  • (a) The Instrument contains provisions for convening meetings of Warrantholders to consider any matter affecting the interests of Warrantholders, including the modification by Special Resolution (as defined in the Instrument) of the provisions of the Instrument and/or of the terms and conditions endorsed on the Warrant certificates. A Special Resolution duly passed at any such meeting shall be binding on the Warrantholders, whether present or not.

  • (b) All or any of the rights for the time being attached to the Warrants (including any of the provisions of the Instrument) may from time to time (whether or not the Company is being wound up) be altered or abrogated (including, but without prejudice to that generality, by waiving compliance with, or by waiving or authorising any past or proposed breach of, any of the terms and conditions endorsed on the Warrant certificates and/or the Instrument) with the prior sanction of a Special Resolution and may be effected only by deed poll executed by the Company and expressed to be supplemental to the Instrument.

Where the Warrantholder is a recognised clearing house (within the meaning of the Securities and Futures (Clearing Houses) Ordinance (Cap. 420 of the Laws of Hong Kong)) or its nominee(s), it may authorise such person or persons as it thinks fit to act as its representative (or representatives) or proxy (or proxies) at any Warrantholders’ meeting provided that, if more than one person is so authorised, the authorisation or proxy form must specify the number and class of Warrants in respect of which each such person is so authorised. The person so authorised will be entitled to exercise the same power on behalf of the recognised clearing house as that clearing house or its nominee(s) could exercise as if such person were an individual Warrantholder.

8. QUORUM

The quorum of a meeting of Warrantholders will be two or more Warrantholders, present in person or by proxy, representing not less than 5 per cent in value of the Subscription Rights for the time being outstanding and exercisable.

16. RIGHTS OF WARRANTHOLDERS ON WINDING-UP

If an effective resolution is passed during the Subscription Period for the voluntary winding-up of the Company, then:

  • (a) if such winding-up is for the purpose of reconstruction or amalgamation pursuant to a scheme of arrangement to which the Warrantholders, or some person designated by them for such purpose by Special Resolution, shall be a party or in conjunction with which a proposal is made to the Warrantholders 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 Warrantholders; and

SUMMARY OF THE TERMS OF THE WARRANTS

  • (b) in any other case, every Warrantholder (or, in the case of joint Warrantholders, the Warrantholder whose name stands first in the register of Warrantholders in respect of the Warrant held by such joint Warrantholders) shall be entitled at any time within six weeks after the passing of such resolution by irrevocable surrender of his Warrant certificate(s) to the Warrant registrar for the time being of the Company in Hong Kong with the Subscription Form(s) duly completed, together with payment of the Exercise Moneys (or the relative portion thereof) to elect to be treated as if he had immediately prior to the commencement of such windingup exercised the Subscription Rights represented by such Warrants to the extent specified in the Subscription Form(s) and had on such date been the holder of the Ordinary Shares to which he would have become entitled pursuant to such exercise and the Company and the liquidator of the Company shall give effect to such election accordingly.

The mandatory conversion of the CP Shares by the Company shall be made in accordance with this paragraph (2) and notwithstanding that a holder of CP Shares has failed to surrender any certificate(s) in respect of any CP Shares, such CP Shares shall be automatically cancelled and of no further effect following the Maturity Date.

  • (e) The Dividend (as defined hereinafter) entitlement attaching to any CP Shares as hereinafter provided shall cease to apply with effect from the date of conversion. Ordinary Shares arising on conversion shall rank pari passu in all respects with Ordinary Shares, including the rights to receive any dividends and other distributions declared.

No adjustments shall be made in the event of the issue of Shares (by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves) in lieu of cash dividends or in connection with a redemption or conversion of CP Shares.
