(Stock Code: 1733)
RESULTS OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF SCHEME SHARES AND ANTI-DILUTION SHARES
Reference is made to the prospectus of E-Commodities Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) dated 31 May 2016 in relation to the Rights Issue (the ‘‘Prospectus’’) and the announcements of the Company dated 27 June 2016 and 28 June 2016 in relation to, among other things, results of the Rights Issue and distribution of Scheme Consideration (the ‘‘Announcements’’). Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meaning ascribed to them in the Prospectus and the Announcements unless otherwise specified.
FINAL DISTRIBUTION OF SCHEME SHARES AND CVRS
On the Final Distribution Date, being Friday, 7 October 2016, 243,273,613 Scheme Shares and CVRs with an aggregate notional value of US$991,134 were distributed among the Participating Bondholders. The numbers of Scheme Shares and CVRs ultimately distributed were slightly lower than the numbers of Scheme Shares and CVRs remaining after the Initial Distribution Date distributions (243,273,777 Scheme Shares and CVRs with an aggregate notional value of US$991,260) due to the rounding down of Participating Bondholder’s individual entitlements to the nearest whole number and the disregarding of fractional entitlements in accordance with the Schemes.
As a mechanism to counter the dilutive effect of the issue of the Scheme Shares, three Antidilution Shares will be issued for no further consideration for each Rights Share subscribed. As stated in the Prospectus and the Announcements, given that the Initial Scheme Shares and the Initial Anti-dilution Shares have been allotted and issued as the first installment on the Initial Distribution Date, the remaining 729,825,139 Anti-dilution Shares, representing 1.28949 Anti-dilution Shares for each one Rights Share subscribed, have been allotted and issued to the Qualifying Shareholders allotted and issued Rights Shares on the Final Distribution Date.
