LETTER FROM THE BOARD

SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Company proposes to implement the Share Consolidation by consolidating every ten (10) issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.10 each.

Effect of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 100,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 3,742,286,406 Shares had been allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, on the basis that the Company does not allot, issue or repurchase any Shares prior thereto, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.10 each, of which 374,228,640 Consolidated Shares will be in issue.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding options, warrants or other securities in issue which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares, as the case may be. 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.

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 SGM; and

  • (b) 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.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions above had been fulfilled.

The Share Consolidation will become effective on the next Business Day immediately following the fulfillment of the above conditions.

– 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 the 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 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 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 has been made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares to be issued 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.

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.

CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The Board also proposes that, subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange be changed from 20,000 Existing Shares to 2,000 Consolidated Shares with effect from 9:00 a.m. on 21 October 2016.

Based on the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date of HK$0.064 per Share, the current board lot value amounts to HK$1,280. The proposed new board lot of 2,000 Consolidated Shares, together with the Share Consolidation, will effectively maintain the current board lot value of HK$1,280 (based on the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

Exchange of share certificates

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is expected to be on 21 October 2016, the Shareholders may, during a period between 21 October 2016 and 28 November 2016 (both dates inclusive), submit existing share certificates for the Shares, which are in orange colour, to the Hong Kong branch share registrar of the Company, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares, which will be in purple colour. 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.

Odd lots arrangement and matching services

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares (if any) arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed C.P. Securities International Limited to stand in the market to provide matching services regarding the sale and purchase of the odd lots of the Consolidated Shares at the relevant market price per Consolidated Share, 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 Consolidated Shares, from 4 November 2016 to 24 November 2016 (both dates inclusive). Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares may contact Mr. John Pao of C.P. Securities International Limited at Room 2707, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong at (852) 37090555 during office hours in the aforesaid period.

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. If any Shareholder is in doubt about the odd lot trading arrangements, such Shareholder should consult his/her/its own professional advisers.

REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares and will reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. As such, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Shares. The Company believes that the adjusted Share price of the Company upon completion of the Share Consolidation will enhance its corporate image and make investing in the Consolidated Shares more attractive to a broader range of institutional and professional investors to support its ongoing and long term financing activities and business development.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to Rule 13.64 of the 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. In view of the recent trading price of the Shares, the Director consider that the Share Consolidation will enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules.

Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size are beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

EQUITY FUND RAISING PLAN OF THE COMPANY

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no imminent funding need. Nevertheless, the Company does not obviate the possibility of conducting equity fund raising activities in the future to finance its business development and expansion as and when necessary.

GENERAL

A notice convening the SGM to be held on Thursday, 20 October 2016 at 10:00 a.m. at Falcon Room I, Gloucester Luk Kwok Hong Kong, 72 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong is set out on pages 11 to 12 of this circular.
