CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a high 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 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 CAPITAL REORGANISATION AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 23 October 2020 regarding the proposed Capital Reorganisation. The purpose of this circular is to provide you among other things, details of (i) the Capital Reorganisation, and (ii) the notice convening the EGM.

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION

As at the date of this circular, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$1,500,000,000 comprising 30,000,000,000 existing Shares of HK$0.05 each, of which 7,492,562,338 existing Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

The Board proposes to implement the Capital Reorganisation which will involve the following:

  • (1) the proposed Capital Reduction whereby the issued share capital of the Company will be reduced by the cancellation of HK$0.04 paid-up capital on each issued Share such that the par value of each issued Share will be reduced from HK$0.05 to HK$0.01;

  • (2) the proposed Share Premium Cancellation whereby upon the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the entire amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company will be cancelled; and

  • (3) the credit arising from the Capital Reduction and Share Premium Cancellation will be applied towards offsetting the accumulated losses of the Company as at the effective date of the Capital Reduction, thereby reducing the accumulated losses of the Company. The balance of credit (if any) will be transferred to a distributable reserve account of the Company and be applied for such purposes as permitted by all applicable laws and rules and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and as the Board considers appropriate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effect of the Capital Reorganisation

Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the date of this circular up to the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation, the share capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

Immediately after

Authorised share capital HK$1,500,000,000 HK$1,500,000,000

Shares New Shares
Amount of unissued share capital HK$1,125,371,883.10 HK$1,425,074,376.62

According to the Annual Report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2020 (the ‘‘Annual Report’’), the share premium account of the Company amounted to approximately HK$651.9 million as at 30 June 2020. Based on the number of Shares in issue as at the date of this circular, as a result of the Capital Reduction, a credit of approximately HK$299.7 million will arise in the books of the Company. The credit arising from the Capital Reduction and Share Premium Cancellation will be applied to set-off the accumulated losses of the Company as at the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation. The balance of credit (if any) will be transferred to a distributable reserve account of the Company and be applied for such purposes as permitted by all applicable laws and rules and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and as the Board considers appropriate. According to the Annual Report, the total accumulated losses of the Company was approximately HK$660.0 million as at 30 June 2020.

All New Shares in issue will rank pari passu in all respects with each other. Save for the application of the credit arising from the Capital Reduction and Share Premium Cancellation towards offsetting the accumulated losses of the Company and expenses to be incurred in relation to the Capital Reorganisation, the Directors consider that the

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Capital Reorganisation will have no effect on the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportional interests of the Shareholders.

The Company has no outstanding share options, warrants and convertible securities as at the date of this circular.

Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation

The Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon the following conditions being fulfilled:

  • (i) the passing of necessary resolution(s) to approve the Capital Reorganisation by the Shareholders at the EGM;

  • (ii) the Court granting an order confirming the Capital Reduction;

  • (iii) compliance with any terms and conditions which the Court may impose in order for the Capital Reduction to be effective;

  • (iv) the registration by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands of a copy of the order of the Court confirming the Capital Reduction and the minutes approved by the Court containing the particulars required under the Companies Law with respect to the Capital Reduction; and

  • (v) the Listing Committee granting the approval for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the New Shares upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective.

The Capital Reorganisation shall become effective when the conditions mentioned above are fulfilled. Upon the approval by the Shareholders of the Capital Reorganisation at the EGM, the legal advisors to the Company (as to Cayman Islands law) will apply to the Court for hearing date(s) to confirm the Capital Reduction and further announcement(s) (if any) will be made to inform the Shareholders of the progress of the matter as and when appropriate.

Reasons for the Capital Reorganisation

The credit arising from the Capital Reduction and Share Premium Cancellation will be applied towards offsetting the accumulated losses of the Company as at the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation, thereby reducing the accumulated losses of the Company.

Under the Companies Law, the Company is not permitted to issue new shares at a price lower than the par value unless with the sanction of the Court. The Capital Reduction will provide the Company with greater flexibility to accommodate the issue of new shares in future when necessary.

As such, the Board is of the view that the Capital Reorganisation is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Application for Listing of the New Shares

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation.

No part of the share capital of the Company is listed or dealt in, and no listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought, on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, the New 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 New 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.

OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

Free Exchange of Certificates for New Shares

As the Court hearing date(s) has yet to be fixed, the effective date of the Capital Reduction is not ascertainable at present. Should the Capital Reduction become effective, Shareholders may submit existing certificates for the Shares (in brown colour) to the Registrar at Shops 1712–1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for exchange, at the expense of the Company, within one month from the effective date of the Capital Reduction, for certificates for the New Shares in pink colour. Details of such free exchange of share certificates will be announced as soon as the effective date of the Capital Reduction is ascertained.

All existing certificates of the Shares will continue to be evidence of title and may be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) by the Shareholders for each share certificate for the Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the New Shares, whichever is higher, but are not acceptable for trading, settlement and registration.

EGM

The Company will convene the EGM at Flat B, 10/F, E168, 166–168 Des Voeux Road Central, Hong Kong on Wednesday, 16 December 2020 at 10: 45 a.m., at which a special resolution will be proposed for the purposes of considering and if thought fit, approving the Capital Reorganisation.
