LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF GENERAL MANDATE

First General Mandate

At the AGM, the then Shareholders approved, among other things, an ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors the First General Mandate to issue, allot and deal with up to 483,711,965 Shares, which is equivalent to 20% of the then issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution at the AGM.

On 28 May 2015, the Company entered into a placing agreement in relation to the Placing 1 of 483,700,000 new Shares at a placing price of HK$0.25 per new Share. The Placing 1 was completed on 17 June 2015. Accordingly, 483,700,000 new Shares were successfully placed and the net proceeds from the Placing 1 amounting to approximately HK$117.2 million was received by the Company. On 17 June 2015, notice was served by the Group to the holder of the promissory notes with aggregate principal amount of HK$160 million (the “ PNs ”) for early redemption of the PNs in principal amount of HK$110 million (the “ 1st Early Redemption of PNs ”) together with accrued interest thereupon. The 1st Early Redemption of PNs was completed on 17 June 2015. The net proceeds from the Placing 1 has been used as to (i) approximately HK$110.6 million for the 1st Early Redemption of PNs together with accrued interest thereupon; (ii) approximately HK$4.9 million had been utilized for general working capital of the Group including (a) HK$1.7 million for staff salaries and Directors’ fees; (b) HK$1.7 million for rental and operating expenses; and (c) HK$1.5 million for legal and professional fees; and (iii) the remaining balance of approximately HK$1.7 million is intended to be used for general working capital of the Group (including trading of securities).

As a result of completion of Placing 1, the First General Mandate had almost been fully utilized and the First General Mandate was then refreshed at the Previous EGM granting the Directors the Existing General Mandate.

Existing General Mandate

At the Previous EGM, the then Shareholders approved, among other things, an ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors the Existing General Mandate to issue, allot and deal with up to 580,451,965 Shares, which is equivalent to 20% of the then issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution at the Previous EGM.

On 15 December 2015, the Company entered into a placing agreement in relation to the Previous Placing of 580,450,000 new Shares at a placing price of HK$0.098 per new Share. The Previous Placing was completed on 5 January 2016. Accordingly, 580,450,000 new Shares were successfully placed and the net proceeds from the Previous Placing amounting to approximately HK$54.9 million was received by the Company. On 8 January 2016, notice was served by the Group to the holder of the promissory notes with outstanding principal amount of HK$50 million (the “ Remaining PNs ”) for early redemption of the Remaining PNs in part in principal amount of HK$40 million (the “ 2nd Early Redemption of PNs ”) together with accrued interest thereupon. The 2nd Early Redemption of PNs was completed on 8 January 2016. The net proceeds from the Previous Placing has been used as to (i) approximately HK$41.5 million for the 2nd Early

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Redemption of PNs together with accrued interest thereupon; and (ii) the remaining balance of approximately HK$13.4 million is intended to be used for general working capital of the Group.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, as a result of completion of the Previous Placing, the Existing General Mandate had been almost fully utilized.

The Company has not made any refreshment of the Existing General Mandate since the Previous EGM up to the Latest Practicable Date. Accordingly, after the issue of the aforesaid Shares as a result of the Previous Placing, only 1,965 new Shares may be further allotted and issued under the Existing General Mandate.

Proposed Refreshment of General Mandate

The Company will convene the EGM at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed to the Independent Shareholders that the Directors be granted the general mandate to allot and issue Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution at the EGM.

Based on 3,482,709,827 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that there are no changes in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the EGM, subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Refreshment of General Mandate at the EGM, the Directors will be authorised to allot and issue up to 696,541,965 new Shares under the New General Mandate, being 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The New General Mandate will expire at the earliest of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands to be held; or (c) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

Reasons for Refreshment of General Mandate

The Group is principally engaged in provision of integrated business software solutions, trading of listed securities, and mobile marketing.

As a result of the Previous Placing, the Existing General Mandate has been almost fully utilized and only 1,965 new Shares may be further allotted and issued under the Existing General Mandate. The next annual general meeting of the Company will only be held until around late May 2016, which is around three months from the date of this circular.

The Directors consider that Refreshment of General Mandate would provide the Group with the necessary flexibility to (i) fulfill any possible funding needs for future business development and/or investment decisions which may arise at any time; (ii)

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

strengthen the capital base of the Company; and (iii) have an option to consider issue of consideration shares as one of the settlement means in an acquisition as and when the Directors consider to be appropriate should suitable opportunities arise in the future. In addition, the Directors regarded equity financing as an important avenue of resources to the Group since it does not create any interest paying obligations on the Group.

The Directors consider that funding requirements or appropriate investment opportunities may arise at any time prior to the next annual general meeting and investment decisions may have to be made within a limited period of time in such event. Therefore, the Board is now proposing to seek the approval of Independent Shareholders at the EGM for the Refreshment of General Mandate such that, should attractive terms for investment in the Shares become available from potential investors or investment opportunities arise, the Board would be able to respond to the market promptly as fund raising exercise pursuant to a general mandate provides the Company with a simpler and less lead time process than other types of fund raising exercises as well as to avoid the uncertainties in such circumstances that specific mandate may not be obtained in a timely manner.

In addition, in case the Group has identified suitable investment targets, it may have the option to utilise the New General Mandate to issue Shares for settling the considerations. As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 25 November 2015, the Group entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “ MOU ”) regarding the possible acquisition of a target which has certain business operation of intellectual property right in relation to song/music within the PRC (the “ Possible Acquisition ”). The MOU has an exclusive period of six months. Notwithstanding the fact that the Possible Acquisition is still in the preliminary stage, it may materialize at any time during the six-month exclusivity period of the MOU. In the event that the negotiation in respect of the terms of the Possible Acquisition are finalized prior to the end of the exclusivity period, being in late May 2016 which is before the next annual general meeting, there may be a funding need for the Group’s investments as the vendor may request the Company to pay a refundable deposit in relation to the Possible Acquisition. There is no certainty that adequate cash resources or other financing alternatives will be available for the Possible Acquisition and/or appropriate investment opportunities that may be identified by the Company in the future. If the Company does not have sufficient cash or financing resources on hand, the Company may not able to capture possible business opportunities for its future development. The Possible Acquisition is subject to the negotiation and entering into of a formal agreement. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Possible Acquisition, the Group has not identified and is not in negotiation with any specific investment targets.

Apart from equity financing, the Directors will also consider other financing methods such as rights issue, open offer and debt financing, if appropriate, so as to meet its financing requirements arising from any future development of the Group. Rights issue and open offer usually takes two to three months to raise funds and it may not allow the Company to grasp potential opportunities in a timely manner. In addition, with reference to recent pre-emptive fund raising activities by companies listed on the Stock Exchange, rights issues and open offers will incur underwriting commission in the range of around 2% to 3.5% in general. Usually, pre-emptive issue requires to be fully underwritten while

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

placing activities could be carried out on a best-effort basis. In this connection, there is no guarantee that the Group will be able to procure commercial underwriting for pre-emptive issue at more favourable terms in a timely manner as compared with placing activities for financing future funding requirements of the Group, given that determination of underwriting commission will be subject to the then prevailing market condition, financial condition of the Group and proposed fund raising scale of the pre-emptive issue. Furthermore, documentation involves in rights issues and open offers will be more complicated as compared with placing exercises as it will involve extra administrative work for preparation and issue of prospectus and related documents and application forms for acceptance of the pre-emptive issues and appointment of reporting accountants to report on unaudited pro forma financial information to be included in the prospectus. Pre-emptive issues will inevitably be more costly than placing exercises given that additional professional fees and other expenses of approximately HK$2 million to HK$3 million will be incurred for including but not limited to (i) appointing reporting accountants; (ii) obtaining legal advice in connection with the pre-emptive issues, such as feasibility of extending pre-emptive issues to overseas Shareholders; (iii) engaging other professional parties, such as financial adviser, independent financial adviser, share registrar, financial printer; (iv) printing charges in connection with the dispatch of prospectus and related documents and application forms; and (v) costs associated with trading arrangements of pre-emptive issues. Although rights issues and open offers would be offered to the Shareholders on a pro rata entitlement basis which the qualifying shareholders are given a choice to take up or give up or sell their entitlements, there is uncertainty of the existence of a market to trade the nil-paid rights. It is also uncertain whether the qualifying shareholders would reserve funding for further investment in the Shares in case of a pre-emptive issue and whether such further investment in the Shares would be in line with the then investment objectives of those qualifying shareholders. For those qualifying shareholders who choose not to take up their assured entitlements in full would have dilution to their shareholding interests in the Company. Debt financing will usually incur interest burden on the Group and may be subject to, including but not limited to, lengthy due diligence and negotiations with the banks which involve providing documents for credit evaluation procedures by the banks before entering into any debt financing agreement. The Directors believe that the grant of New General Mandate is more cost-effective, efficient and less time consuming and will enhance the Company’s financial flexibility (without restricting its ability to conduct rights issue or open offer) to expand and develop the business of the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is not considering or in negotiation of any fund raising activities, and it does not have any immediate plans for any new issue of Shares under the New General Mandate.

The Directors note that the utilisation of the refreshed New General Mandate will have potential dilution impact on the shareholding of the Shareholders. However, potential business investment opportunities may arise at any time, it is crucial for the Group to have the ability to respond to the changing market conditions in a timely manner and to provide the Group with the flexibility to have immediate access to cash resources at reasonable costs as assessed by the Directors from time to time (with reference to the then available financing options, the costs associated with those available financing options

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

and potential return of investment opportunities) for appropriate business investment opportunities. Taking into account the volatility of the market, the Company may fail to seize and capitalise on potential investment opportunities if it has to wait until the next annual general meeting for the Refreshment of General Mandate given that in most cases parties to a transaction prefer to look for quick completion of their deals.

Based on the foregoing, the Directors consider that the Refreshment of General Mandate is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Therefore, the Board proposes to seek the approval of the Independent Shareholders for the Refreshment of General Mandate at the EGM.

We, Central China International Capital Limited, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

to us. Our opinion is based on the Directors’ representation and confirmation that there are no undisclosed private agreements/arrangements or implied understandings with anyone concerning the Refreshment of General Mandate. We consider that we have taken sufficient and necessary steps on which to form a reasonable basis and an informed view for our opinion in compliance with Rule 13.80 of the Listing Rules.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the Refreshment of General Mandate, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background information on the Refreshment of General Mandate

The Group is principally engaged in provision of integrated business software solutions, trading of listed securities, and mobile marketing.

At the Previous EGM, the then Shareholders approved, among other things, an ordinary resolution to grant to the Directors the Existing General Mandate to allot, issue and deal with up to 580,451,965 Shares, which was equivalent to 20% of then issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the resolution at the Previous EGM. It followed that, on 15 December 2015, the Company entered

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

into a placing agreement in relation to the Previous Placing which raised net proceeds of approximately HK$54.9 million in which (i) approximately HK$41.5 million was used for the 2nd early redemption of promissory notes (the “ 2nd Early Redemption of PNs ”) together with accrued interest thereupon; and (ii) the remaining balance of approximately HK$13.4 million was intended to be used for general working capital of the Group.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, as a result of completion of the Previous Placing, the Existing General Mandate has been almost fully utilised. The Company has not made any refreshment of the Existing General Mandate since the Previous EGM up to the Latest Practicable Date. Accordingly, after the issue of the aforesaid Shares as a result of the Previous Placing, only 1,965 new Shares may be further allotted and issued under the Existing General Mandate. The next annual general meeting of the Company will only be held until around late May 2016, which is around three months from the date of this circular.

2. Proposed Refreshment of General Mandate

The Company will convene the EGM at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed to the Independent Shareholders that the Directors be granted the general mandate to allot and issue Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution at the EGM.

Based on 3,482,709,827 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and assuming that there are no changes in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to date of the EGM, subject to the passing of the relevant ordinary resolution to approve the Refreshment of General Mandate at the EGM, the Directors will be authorized to allot and issue up to 696,541,965 new Shares under the New General Mandate, being 20% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The New General Mandate will expire at the earliest of (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company; (b) the date by which the next annual general meeting of the Company is required by the Articles of Association or the applicable laws of the Cayman Island to be held; or (c) the date upon which such authority is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting of the Company prior to the next annual general meeting of the Company.

3. Reasons for Refreshment of General Mandate

As a result of the Previous Placing, the Existing General Mandate has been almost fully utilised and only 1,965 new Shares may be further allotted and issued under the Existing General Mandate. The next annual general meeting of the Company will only be held until around late May 2016, which is approximately three months from the date of the Circular.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

While there are unutilized proceeds from previous placing, the Directors consider that the Refreshment of General Mandate would provide the Group with the necessary flexibility to (i) fulfil any possible funding needs for future business development and/or investment decisions which may arise at any time; (ii) strengthen the capital base of the Company; and (iii) have an option to consider issue of consideration shares as one of the settlement means in an acquisition as and when the Directors consider to be appropriate should suitable opportunities arise in the future. In addition, the Directors regarded equity financing as an important avenue of resources to the Group since it does not create any interest paying obligations on the Group.

The Directors consider that funding requirements or appropriate investment opportunities may arise at any time prior to the next annual general meeting and investment decisions may have to be made within a limited period of time in such event. Therefore, the Board is now proposing to seek the approval of Independent Shareholders at the EGM for the Refreshment of General Mandate such that, should attractive terms for investment in the Shares become available from potential investors or investment opportunities arise, the Board would be able to respond to the market promptly as fund raising exercise pursuant to a general mandate provides the Company with a simpler and less lead time process than other types of fund raising exercises as well as to avoid the uncertainties in such circumstances that specific mandate may not be obtained in a timely manner.

In addition, in case the Group has identified investment opportunities with other parties, it may have the option to utilise the New General Mandate to issue shares for settling the consideration. As disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 25 November 2015, the Group entered into a memorandum of understanding (the “ MOU ”) regarding the possible acquisition of a target which has certain business operation of intellectual property right in relation to song/music within the PRC (the “ Possible Acquisition ”). The MOU has an exclusive period of six months. The Possible Acquisition is subject to the negotiation and entering into of a formal agreement.

Notwithstanding that the negotiations for Possible Acquisition are still preliminary, the Company should be well prepared for funds availability in case the Possible Acquisition materializes at any time during the six-month exclusivity period of the MOU. In the event that the negotiation for the terms of the Possible Acquisition are finalized before the end of the exclusivity period, being in late May 2016, which is before the next annual general meeting of the Company, the Company will need funds to follow through the Possible Acquisition as the vendor may, for example, request that the Company pay the refundable deposit or even full settlement of the Possible Acquisition at certain stage in respect of the Possible Acquisition. However, there is no certainty that adequate cash resources or other financing alternatives will be available to finance the Possible Acquisition and/or appropriate investment opportunities that may be identified by the Company in the future. If the Company does not have sufficient cash or financing resources on hand, it may not able to capture possible business opportunities for its future development. Therefore, it is crucial to provide the Group with the flexibility to have immediate access to cash resources for appropriate business investment opportunities.

– 20 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Apart from the MOU, the Company has not been in negotiations with other parties for any business ventures. However, it is the objective of the Company to diversify the Group’s businesses into new lines with growth potentials to broaden its source of income and preserve value. As such, the Company needs the flexibility to raise capital within a short period of time should such investment opportunities arise, which is provided by the refreshment of the Existing General Mandate. Otherwise, the Company may fail to seize and capitalise on potential investment opportunities at relatively lower prices than before if it has to wait until the next annual general meeting for the Refreshment of General Mandate given that in most cases parties to a transaction prefer to look for quick completion of their deals.

Based on the foregoing, the Directors consider that the Refreshment of General Mandate is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Therefore, the Board proposes to seek the approval of the Independent Shareholders for the Refreshment of General Mandate at the EGM.

4. Flexibility in financing

The Directors confirmed that as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not considered or been in negotiation for any fund raising activities. Neither did it have any concrete plan for raising capital by issuing new Shares under the New General Mandate as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In view of the fact that the Existing General Mandate has been substantially utilised and will not be refreshed until the next annual general meeting of the Company, we consider that the Refreshment of the General Mandate would provide the Company with the flexibility to obtain equity financing in a timely manner as and when considered necessary for the Group’s operations and future development. As a result, we share the Directors’ view that the Refreshment of General Mandate is, on balance, in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

5. Financing alternatives

As discussed with the Directors, we understand that in addition to the Refreshment of General Mandate, the Company has considered other means of fund raising, including bank borrowing, debt financing and rights issues/open offers. However, the Directors, for the reasons below, have decided to choose the option of Refreshment of General Mandate.

– 21 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Each of the financing alternatives explored by the Directors and the reasons for its rejection are set out below:

(a) Bank borrowing

Bank borrowings or debt financing would result in an additional interest burden on the Group and may not be achievable on favourable terms or on a timely basis, due to the possibility of the Company being subject to lengthy due diligence and negotiation processes with banks. Moreover, banks are likely to impose restrictive conditions on the loans which may adversely affect the borrower’s flexibility in business operations. Such conditions may include, without limitation, stipulation of adequate security to be provided by the borrower, provision of personal guarantees on the part of the borrower’s substantial shareholders, limited purposes for using the loans and other restrictive covenants.

(b) Rights issue and open offer

The Directors have also ruled out the use of rights issues and open offers to raise funds as the engagement of underwriters cannot be predicted with certainty given the sliding Share price trend since August 2015 despite the positive profit alert announcement dated 20 August 2015 attributing the profit increase to the gain on investments in listed financial assets up to now. Moreover, rights issue and open offer usually takes two to three months to complete in raising funds; therefore, the Company may not be able to grasp potential opportunities in a timely manner. With reference to recent pre-emptive fund raising activities by companies listed on the Stock Exchange, rights issues and open offers will incur underwriting commission in the range of around 2% to 3.5% in general. In this connection, there is no guarantee that the Group will be able to procure commercial underwriting for pre-emptive issue at more favourable terms in a timely manner because determination of underwriting commission will be subject to the then prevailing market condition, financial condition of the Group and proposed fund raising scale of the pre-emptive issue.

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Furthermore, documentation in rights issues and open offers will be more complicated as compared with placing exercises as it will involve extra administrative work for preparation and issue of prospectus and related documents and application forms for acceptance of the pre-emptive issues and appointment of reporting accountants to report on unaudited pro forma financial information to be included in the prospectus. Pre-emptive issues will also inevitably be more costly than placing exercises given that additional professional fees and other expenses of approximately HK$2 million to HK$3 million will be incurred for including but not limited to (i) appointing reporting accountants; (ii) obtaining legal advice in connection with the pre-emptive issues, such as feasibility of extending pre-emptive issues to overseas Shareholders; (iii) engaging other professional parties, such as financial adviser, independent financial adviser, share registrar, financial printer; (iv) printing charges in connection with the dispatch of prospectus and related documents and application forms; and (v) costs associated with trading arrangements of pre-emptive issues.

Although rights issues and open offers would be offered to the Shareholders on a pro rata entitlement basis under which the qualifying shareholders are given a choice to take up or give up or sell their entitlements, there is uncertainty of the existence of a market to trade the nil-paid rights. It is also uncertain whether the qualifying shareholders would reserve funding for further investment in the Shares in case of a pre-emptive issue and whether such further investment in the Shares would be in line with the then investment objectives of those qualifying shareholders. For those qualifying shareholders who choose not to take up their assured entitlements in full would have dilution to their shareholding interests in the Company.

The Directors note that the utilisation of the refreshed New General Mandate will have potential dilution impact on the shareholding of the Shareholders. However, given the additional time and cost involved and the uncertainty of identifying underwriters for right issues and open offers under the recent volatile market, we concur with the view of the Directors that equity financing by way of general mandate appears to be a more appropriate fund raising method as it (i) does not cause the Company to incur any interest payment obligations as compared with bank borrowing; (ii) is less costly and time-consuming than raising funds by way of rights issue or open offer; and (iii) provides the Company with the capability to capture any capital raising or prospective investment opportunity as and when it arises.

On 15 December 2015, the Company entered into a placing agreement with China Rise Securities Asset Management Co. Limited (the “ Placing Agent ”) in relation to the Previous Placing of 580,450,000 new Shares at a placing price of

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

HK$0.098 per new Share. The Previous Placing was completed on 5 January 2016. Accordingly, 580,450,000 new Shares were successfully placed and the net proceeds from the Previous Placing amounting to approximately HK$54.9 million was received by the Company. On 8 January 2016, notice was served by the Group to the holder of the promissory notes with outstanding principal amount of HK$50 million (the “ Remaining PNs ”) for early redemption of the Remaining PNs in part in principal amount of HK$40 million (i.e. the 2nd Early Redemption of PNs) together with accrued interest thereupon. The 2nd Early Redemption of PNs was completed on 8 January 2016. The net proceeds from the Previous Placing has been used as to (i) approximately HK$41.5 million for 2nd Early Redemption of PNs together with accrued interest thereupon; and (ii) the remaining balance of approximately HK$13.4 million is intended to be used for general working capital of the Group.

On 28 May 2015, the Company entered into a placing agreement under which the Placing Agent agreed to place 483,700,000 of the Company’s ordinary shares on a fully underwritten basis to not less than six placees who are independent third parties at the placing price of HK$0.25 per Placing Share. On 17 June 2015, notice was served by the Group to the holder of the promissory notes with aggregate principal amount of HK$160 million (the “ PNs ”) for early redemption of the PNs in principal amount of HK$110 million (the “ 1st Early Redemption of PNs ”) together with accrued interest thereupon. The 1st Early Redemption of PNs was completed on 17 June 2015. The net proceeds from the Placing 1 has been used as to (i) approximately HK$110.6 million for 1st Early Redemption of PNs together with accrued interest thereupon; (ii) approximately HK$4.9 million has been utilized for general working capital of the Group including (a) HK$1.7 million for staff salaries and Directors’ fees; (b) HK$1.7 million for rental and operating expenses; and (c) HK$1.5 million for legal and professional fees; and (iii) the remaining balance of approximately HK$1.7 million is intended to be used for general working capital of the Group (including trading of securities).

As a result of completion of Placing 1, the First General Mandate had almost been fully utilized and the First General Mandate was then refreshed at the Previous EGM granting the Directors the Existing General Mandate.

Save as disclosed above, the Company has not conducted any other equity fund raising activities in the past twelve months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

7. Shareholding dilution effects and cumulative dilution effects of fund raising activities over the past 12 months and the potential dilution effects of the New General Mandate

As mentioned above, the Group conducted two fund raising activities over the 12 months preceding the Latest Practicable Date, namely Placing 1 and Previous Placing. According to the announcement of the Company dated 28 May 2015 in relation to Placing 1 (being placing of 483,700,000 Shares under general mandate), immediately prior to completion of Placing 1, public shareholders of the Company held 1,558,822,520 Shares, representing approximately 64.5% (the “ Initial Public Shareholding ”) of the then total number of issued Shares, being 2,418,559,827 Shares. After Placing 1, the Previous Placing (being placing of 580,450,000 Shares under general mandate) was announced on 15 December 2015. The dilution effects

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any outstanding options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights to subscribe for Shares.

It can be observed from the table on shareholding structure above that upon full utilisation of the new General Mandate, the aggregate shareholdings of the public Shareholders would decrease from 82.65% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 68.87%, assuming no other Shares are issued and/or repurchased by the Company, with a dilution of approximately 16.67% (i.e. (82.65%–68.87%)/82.65%), which is the same as that of the Company’s last Refreshment of General Mandate exercise in July 2015 (the “ July 2015 refreshment ”). In the EGM held on 6 August 2015, Shareholders approved, among others, the resolution for the July 2015 refreshment.

Taking into account that (i) the Refreshment of General Mandate would (a) allow the Company to raise capital by allotment and issuance of new Shares before the next annual general meeting; (b) provide an alternative to increase the amount of capital which may be raised thereunder; (c) provide more flexibility and options for financing to the Group for the acquisition for future investments and business developments; (d) enable the Company to respond in a timely and effective manner to take advantages of any business opportunities for the benefit of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole; (e) broaden shareholders’ base; (ii) any funds raised by utilising the General Mandate is non-interest bearing and requires no collaterals or pledge of securities; (iii) the proceeds obtained by the Group in its two fund raising activities (i.e. Previous Placing and Placing 1) in the past twelve months had been used as intended, namely, for general working capital of the Group (including trading of securities) and the repayment of debt; (iv) the shareholding interests of all the Shareholders in the Company will be diluted in proportion to their respective shareholdings upon any utilisation of the New General Mandate; (v) the dilution to shareholding of existing shareholders in Refreshment of General Mandate is the same as that of the July 2015 refreshment, we are of the opinion that the potential dilution to the shareholdings of the existing public Shareholders upon the grant of a new General Mandate is acceptable.

Accordingly, we would recommend the Independent Shareholders and advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend to the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM.
