Assuming that there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the date of this announcement and the completion of the Placing, the 83,584,000 Placing Shares represent approximately 20% of the Company’s existing issued share capital and approximately 16.67% of the Company’s issued share capital as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares. The aggregate nominal value of the Placing Shares under the Placing will be HK$8,358,400.
