Placees
The Placing Shares will be placed to not less than six Placees, who, to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Placing Agent, are not holding any Shares prior to the Placing and are investors who are independent of and not acting in concert with the directors, chief executives, senior management or substantial shareholders of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or their respective associates, and will not be offered or sold to any person, firm or company which is a connected person of the Company. The Placing Agent undertook that none of the Placees or their associates would, immediately upon completion of the Placing, become a substantial shareholder (within the meaning of the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company.
Number of Placing Shares
Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the date of this announcement and the Completion Date, the maximum number of 96,000,000 Placing Shares represent (i) 20.00% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 16.67% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of all the Placing Shares.

The Placing Price of HK$0.170 per Placing Share:
-
(i) is equivalent to the closing price of HK$0.170 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Placing Agreement; and

GENERAL MANDATE TO ALLOT AND ISSUE THE PLACING SHARES
The Placing Shares will be issued under the General Mandate to allot, issue and deal with Shares granted to the Directors by resolution of the Shareholders passed at the AGM subject to the limit up to 20% of the then issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the AGM. Under the General Mandate, the Company is authorised to issue up to 96,000,000 new Shares under the General Mandate. Up to the date of this announcement, no new Shares have been issued under the General Mandate. Accordingly, the issue of the Placing Shares is not subject to the approval of the Shareholders. Assuming that all the Placing Shares are fully placed upon the completion of the Placing, all Shares of the General Mandate will be utilised by the Company.
REASONS FOR THE PLACING AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Group is one of the long-established and well-known travel agents in Hong Kong, who markets its travel related products and services under the brand ‘‘縱橫 遊WWPKG ’’ , and engages in (i) the design, development and sales of package tours; (ii) the sales of air tickets and/or hotel accommodations; (iii) the sales of ancillary travel related products and services; (iv) investments in tourism and travel technology related businesses; (v) the engagement in the process of gaining cryptocurrencies by solving cryptographic equations through verifying data blocks and adding transaction records to a public ledger known as a blockchain; and (vi) the sales of lifestyle and healthcare products and services via retail stores and/or e- commerce (the ‘‘ New Business Activity ’’ ).
Assuming all the Placing Shares are fully placed, the gross proceeds and net proceeds (after deduction of commission and other expenses of the Placing) from the Placing will be approximately HK$16.3 million and HK$14.9 million, respectively, representing a net issue price of approximately HK$0.155 per Placing Share. The net proceeds from the Placing are intended to be used for general working capital of the New Business Activity and be applied in the following manner by 31 March 2023:
-
(i) approximately HK$8.1 million shall be used for procurement expenses;
-
(ii) approximately HK$2.6 million shall be used for staff cost;
-
(iii) approximately HK$1.9 million shall be used for general and administration expenses;
-
(iv) approximately HK$1.3 million shall be used for rental expenses; and
-
(v) approximately HK$1.0 million shall be used for advertising and marketing expenses.
Travel restrictions imposed across the world due to the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 has disrupted the Group ’ s travel and tourism business operation. As a result, minimal revenue and gross profit were generated from the travel related products and services segment of the Group since the financial year ended 31 March 2021. In order to diversify the income stream of the Group, it has recently commenced the New Business Activity. The Directors considers that the New Business Activity enables the Group to broaden its revenue base and potentially enhance its financial performance, which is in line with the Group ’ s development strategy. Accordingly, the Directors consider that the Placing represents a good opportunity for the Company to raise additional funds for the operating expenses of the
– 6 –
Group and to strengthen the Group ’ s financial position, while broadening the capital and Shareholders ’ base of the Company, and to maintain a healthy working capital position for alleviating the Group ’ s liquidity pressure.
In view of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Placing Agreement is entered into upon normal commercial terms following arm ’ s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent and the terms of the Placing Agreement (including the Placing Price and the placing commission) are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS
