To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
POSSIBLE MAJOR TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO MANDATE FOR THE DISPOSAL OF SHARES OF CHINA SCE GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED
INTRODUCTION
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, owns a total of 6,800,000 CSCE Shares, representing approximately 0.1648% of the total issued share capital of CSCE and being its entire interest in CSCE. The CSCE Shares are listed and freely tradable on the Stock Exchange. The Board plans to dispose all or in part(s) of the 6,800,000 CSCE Shares held by the Group in a prudent manner in the open market during the Mandate Period in order to realize profits from the investment.
– 3 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
If the Group proceeds with the Disposal and on the assumption that all the 6,800,000 CSCE Shares held by the Group are disposed of within the Mandate Period at a minimum price of HK$2.63 per CSCE Share, one or more applicable percentage ratios of the Disposal is likely to exceed 25% but be less than 75%, the Disposal may constitute a major transaction under Rule 14.06(3) of the Listing Rules of the Company and therefore be subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
The Board will seek the approval of the Shareholders at the SGM for the Disposal and the Mandate for the Disposal, granting authorization to the Directors to dispose all or in part(s) of the 6,800,000 CSCE Shares held by the Group during the Mandate Period.
Upon completion of the Disposal of all the 6,800,000 CSCE Shares, the Group will no longer hold any CSCE Shares.
THE DISPOSAL
Manner of the Disposal
The Group intends to proceed with the Disposal in the following manner:
-
(1) dispose all or in part(s) of the 6,800,000 CSCE Shares held by the Group in the open market through the trading system of the Stock Exchange;
-
(2) the selling price of the 6,800,000 CSCE Shares will be the market price of the CSCE Shares at the relevant time, where the market price refers to the price allowed under the trading system of the Stock Exchange;
-
(3) the minimum selling price per CSCE Share shall be HK$2.63 per CSCE Share (excluding transaction costs) or the selling price per CSCE Share shall not be more than 10% discount to the closing price of CSCE Share (as shown on the Stock Exchange) on the trading day immediately prior to the Disposal, whichever is higher;
-
(4) the Mandate for the Disposal will be valid for a 12-month period from the date of passing of the relevant resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM; and
-
(5) the Disposal shall comply with all relevant applicable laws and regulations, including any applicable trading regulations in Hong Kong.
Setting the minimum selling price or a discount as mentioned in (3) above merely reflect the lowest acceptable selling price per CSCE Share for the Group and is not reflective of the final selling price per CSCE Share.
The proceed of the Disposal will be received in cash.
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Mechanism for Selling the CSCE Shares
As mentioned in the section above “Manner of Disposal”, the selling price of the 6,800,000 CSCE Share will be at the market price of the CSCE Shares at the relevant time as they will be sold through the open market.
To safeguard the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, the Directors shall not in any event, sell the CSCE Shares held by the Group:
-
(i) at a discount more than 10% to the closing price of CSCE Share (as shown on the Stock Exchange) on the trading day immediately prior to such disposal date; and
-
(ii) lower than the minimum selling price of HK$2.63 per CSCE Share,
whichever is higher.
In deciding the selling price of the CSCSE Shares held by the Group before disposal, the Directors will consider the following factors, including but not limited to:
-
the overall market sentiment and conditions;
-
the stability of Hong Kong society;
-
the potential impacts of the US-China trade war;
-
the performance of CSCE Shares and its prevailing market price;
-
CSCE’s latest financial reports, announcements and news;
-
the trading volume of CSCE Shares in the last thirty (30) trading days prior to the Disposal; and
-
the capital and liquidity needs of the Group.
The Directors will not act recklessly nor sell the CSCE Shares at an extremely low price under any circumstances.
Setting a discount as mentioned above does not in any way limit the potential gain of the Disposal because it merely reflects the lowest acceptable selling price per CSCE Share for the Group.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Basis for the Determination of the Minimum Selling Price for the CSCE Shares
The total acquisition cost for the 6,800,000 CSCE Shares is approximately HK$10,734,000 (excluding transaction costs). The minimum selling price of HK$2.63 per CSCE Share is determined with reference to a premium of approximately 66.46% to the average acquisition cost of HK$1.58 per CSCE Share as well as the lowest closing price quoted on the Stock Exchange during the most recent 12-month period prior to the preparation for this Mandate for the Disposal (i.e. from 12 July 2018 to 11 July 2019) which was HK$2.63 on 23 October 2018 and average closing price per CSCE Share during such 12-month period. Due to the USChina trade war, the recent riots/protests in Hong Kong and the uncertainty of the global economy, the Hong Kong stock market has been volatile. The minimum selling price was not set by referencing to the market price of the CSCE Shares but HK$2.63 per CSCE Share for the purpose of providing the Directors maximum flexibility in disposing the CSCE Shares held by the Group, at the same time to avoid the Group from suffering a loss. After the acquisition of the CSCE Shares (the dates of which were 8 July 2015 and 4 February 2016) to 31 July 2019, the Group had received an aggregate dividend of approximately HK$4,102,000 from the CSCE Shares held by the Group. In view of the above, the Directors consider it is fair and reasonable to set the minimum selling price of the Disposal at HK$2.63 per CSCE Share.
Assuming all the CSCE Shares held by the Group are disposed at the minimum selling price of HK$2.63 per CSCE Share, the Group will captain a gain of approximately HK$7,150,000 (calculated based on the total gross sales proceeds less the total acquisition cost).
The minimum selling price of HK$2.63 per CSCE Share reflects the lowest acceptable price to dispose CSCE Shares and the Group targets to dispose all or in part(s) of the CSCE Shares held by the Group to maximize its profits from the Disposal. It also represents:
-
a discount of approximately 34.58% to the closing price of HK$4.020 per CSCE Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
-
a discount of approximately 34.12% to the average closing price of approximately HK$3.992 per CSCE Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
-
a discount of approximately 28.76% to the average closing price of approximately HK$3.692 per CSCE Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 30 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
-
a discount of approximately 26.25% to the average closing price of approximately HK$3.566 per CSCE Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange during the 6-month period up to and including the Last Trading Day;
-
a discount of approximately 19.96% to the average closing price of approximately HK$3.286 per CSCE Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange during the 12-month period up to and including the Last Trading Day; and
-
a discount of approximately 34.41% to the closing price of HK$4.010 per CSCE Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 27 August 2019, being the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Disposing all the CSCE Shares held by the Group at the minimum selling price will allow the Group to capture a guaranteed gain of approximately HK$7,150,000 and any additional potential gain pending market conditions. It will also provide the maximum efficiency and flexibility for the Directors to act promptly and accommodate the fluctuations under any dynamic market conditions and economic situation during the Mandate Period.
The Disposal will strengthen the cash position of the Company and allow the Company to reallocate its resources to its current and/or potential property investments and development projects.
Based on the above, the Board considers that the difference between the minimum selling price and the trading price of the CSCE Shares (as illustrated above) and the minimum selling price being set at HK$2.63 per CSCE Share is of strategic advantage to the Company, it is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
To ensure that the minimum selling price will not be less than HK$2.63 per CSCE Share, the accounts department and the investment team will continuously keep track of and monitor closely the aggregate amount of the CSCE Shares being disposed of, the average selling price of the CSCE Shares, and the total gain or loss of the Disposal, so that the minimum selling price will not be lowered than HK$2.63 per CSCE Shares. A daily report of the above will also be provided to the management for monitoring.
Financial Effect of the Disposal
As disclosed above, the total acquisition cost for the 6,800,000 CSCE Shares is approximately HK$10,734,000. For illustrating the effect of the Disposal on the earnings, assets and liabilities of the Group, assuming that all CSCE held by the Group are being disposed of on 31 July 2019 at the minimum selling price of HK$2.63 per CSCE Share:
-
(a) The estimated total gross sale proceeds (excluding transaction costs) will be approximately HK$17,884,000 and the realized gain will be approximately HK$7,150,000 (which is calculated based on the total gross sales proceeds less the total acquisition cost).
-
(b) The loss on the Disposal will be approximately HK$11,220,000 (which is calculated based on the total gross proceeds of the Disposal less the carrying value of the CSCE Shares as at 31 July 2019).
-
(c) The bank balances and cash in the Group’s consolidated statement of financial position will be improved by approximately HK$17,820,000 (which is calculated based on the total gross sale proceeds less the estimated related costs of approximately HK$64,000).
-
(d) The current assets of the Group will be decreased by approximately HK$29,104,000, being the carrying value of the CSCE Shares held by the Group as at 31 July 2019 (the financial assets at fair value through profit and loss).
-
(e) There will be no effect on the liabilities of the Group for the period ended 31 July 2019.
The Board intends to apply the sale proceeds from the Disposal for general working capital or in funding of alternative investments.
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
For further illustration purpose, assuming the Group disposed all its CSCE Shares on 31 July 2019 at the closing price of HK$4.29 per CSCE Share (as shown on the Stock Exchange), the estimated total gross sale proceeds (excluding the transactions costs) will be approximately HK$29,172,000, while the gain on the Disposal (excluding the transaction cost) would be approximately HK$18,438,000, being the total gross sale proceeds less the total acquisition cost.
Shareholders should note that the actual amounts of proceeds, accounting gain or loss and the effects on the bank balances, net assets, liabilities and earnings of the Group will depend on the actual selling prices of the 6,800,000 CSCE Shares held by the Group.
Monthly Reporting of the Disposal
To keep the Shareholders and the investing public informed on the progress of the Disposal, the Company will publish an announcement within five (5) business days after the end of each month, starting from the month on which the Mandate for the Disposal is approved by the Shareholders until all the CSCE Shares held by the Group have been disposed of or the last day of Mandate Period, whichever is earlier.
The announcement will disclose the details of the Disposal (if any) including but not limited to the aggregate number of CSCE Shares disposed of, the net proceeds arising therefrom and the average selling price of CSCE Shares disposed to date.
Details of the Disposal (if any) will also be disclosed in the annual report and interim report of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
The Directors will manage the Disposal prudently to maximize profits for the Company. The setting of the minimum selling price for the CSCE Shares (being HK$2.63 per CSCE Share and a guaranteed profit of HK$7,150,000) will ensure the Disposal will not being a loss to the Company.
The Disposal represents a good opportunity to generate revenue for the Group and depending on the sale prices may realize profits from the investment. Looking forward, the Board intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal for general working capital or in funding of alternative investments.
Given the volatility of the stock market, disposing of shares at the best price at any given time requires prompt action at the right time and it is impracticable to seek prior Shareholders’ approval for each disposal of some or all of the Group’s CSCE Shares which, when aggregated with the Group’s disposals of CSCE Shares in the previous 12-month period, may constitute a major disposal by the Company. To allow flexibility for disposals when appropriate the Company proposes to seek the Mandate for the Disposal which will provide flexibility to the Directors to dispose all or in part(s) of the Group’s 6,800,000 CSCE Shares at such time and prices they consider appropriate.
Having considered the above, the Board is in the view that the Disposal and the Mandate for the Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
If the Group proceeds with the Disposal and on the assumption that all the 6,800,000 CSCE Shares held by the Group are disposed of within the Mandate Period at a price of HK$2.63 per CSCE Share, one or more applicable percentage ratios of the Disposal is likely to exceed 25% but be less than 75%, the Disposal may constitute a major transaction under Rule 14.06(3) of the Listing Rules of the Company and therefore be subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
The Company will not exercise the Mandate for Disposal if the Disposal, in aggregate, will constitute a very substantial disposal of the Company. The Disposal will be limited to major transaction of the Company.
The Disposal and the Mandate for the Disposal shall be conditional upon the approval of the Shareholders at the SGM. The Board will seek the approval of the Shareholders at the SGM for the Disposal and the Mandate for the Disposal, granting authorization to the Directors to dispose all or in part(s) of the 6,800,000 CSCE Shares held by the Group during the Mandate Period.
In the event that the Disposal and the Mandate for the Disposal are not approved by the Shareholders at the SGM, the Company will only able to dispose such number of CSCE Shares, in aggregate, that constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules.
As the Disposal will be made in the open market in full or in part(s), the Company is unable to confirm, identify or disclose the identity of the counterpart(ies) nor its ultimate beneficial owner(s) or provide the date of transaction(s).
