Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION, PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 29 July 2022 in relation to the proposed Share Consolidation and the proposed Change in Board Lot Size. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with more information regarding the proposed Share Consolidation, the proposed Change in Board Lot Size and the notice of EGM.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Board proposes that every five (5) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.001 each in the share capital of the Company be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of HK$0.005 each.

Effects of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 4,388,580,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.001 each in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming no further Shares will be issued from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the EGM, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, there will be 877,716,000 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.005 each in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other.

Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders.

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The implementation of the Share Consolidation is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Share Consolidation;

  • (ii) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and

  • (iii) the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation.

The Share Consolidation is expected to become effective on Friday, 2 September 2022 subject to the fulfilment of the above conditions.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions has been fulfilled.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Listing Application

An application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, the Consolidated Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by the HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by the HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into the CCASS established and operated by the HKSCC.

None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Share Consolidation becomes effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

Adjustments in relation to other securities of the Company

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no other outstanding options, warrants or other securities in issue which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares, as the case may be.

PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in board lots of 20,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.001 each. It is proposed that, subject to and conditional upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange be changed from 20,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.001 each to 10,000 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.005 each.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the closing price of HK$0.05 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each board lot of 10,000 Consolidated Shares, assuming the Share Consolidation had already become effective, would be HK$2,500.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

Pursuant to Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of an issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the Stock Exchange reserves the right to require the issuer either to change the trading method or proceed with a consolidation or splitting of securities. According to the “Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions” issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated on 1 October 2020, (i) any trading price less than HK$0.10 will be considered as approaching the extremities of HK$0.01 as referred to under Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules; and (ii) taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected board lot value should be greater than HK$2,000.

In view of the recent trading price of the Shares, the Board considers that the Share Consolidation will enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules and reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Shares as a proportion of the market value of each board lot, since most of the banks/securities houses will charge a minimum transaction costs for each securities trade. With a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares, the Board believes that the Share Consolidation will make investing in the Shares more attractive to a broader range of investors, and therefore further broaden the shareholder base of the Company.

The Board considers that the Share Consolidation is essential to achieve the above-mentioned purpose. Taking into account of the potential benefits and the insubstantial amount of costs to be incurred, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size are in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As at the date of this circular, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate actions in the next 12 months which may affect the trading in the Shares, and the Company does not have any concrete plan to conduct any fund-raising activities in the next 12 months.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares

Fractional Consolidated Shares (if any) will be disregarded and will not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Existing Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.

Arrangement on odd lot trading

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares, the Company appointed Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited as an agent to provide matching services, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares during the period from 9:00 a.m. on Monday, 19 September 2022 to 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 10 October 2022.

Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility may contact Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong or at telephone number (852) 2862 8555 during office hours (i.e. 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) within such period. Holders of the Shares who would like to match odd lots have to make an appointment in advance by dialing the telephone number of Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited set out above.

Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders who are in any doubt about the odd lots matching arrangement are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

Exchange of certificates for Consolidated Shares

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be Friday, 2 September 2022, Shareholders may on or after Friday, 2 September 2022 and until Wednesday, 12 October 2022 (both days inclusive), submit their existing share certificates in Pink colour for the Existing Shares to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712–1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for exchange for new share certificates in Blue colour for the Consolidated Shares at the expense of the Company.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders should note that after the prescribed time for free exchange of new share certificates, a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange) will be payable by the Shareholders to the share registrar for each share certificate for the Existing Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares, whichever the number of Share Certificates cancelled or issued is higher.

After 4:10 p.m. on Monday, 10 October 2022, trading will only be in Consolidated Shares which share certificates will be issued in Blue colour. Existing share certificates in Pink colour for the Existing Shares will cease to be valid for trading and settlement purpose, but will remain valid and effective as documents of title.

EGM

A notice convening the EGM to be held at Unit 3603, 36th Floor, West Tower, Shun Tak Centre, 168–200 Connaught Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong on Wednesday, 31 August 2022 at 11:00 a.m. is set out on pages 14, 15 and 16 of this circular.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the websites of the Company at www.futurebrightltd.com and the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete and sign the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a certified copy of the power of attorney or authority, to the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM or any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be). Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending the meeting thereof (as the case may be).

In light of the continuing risks posed by COVID-19 pandemic, the Company strongly advises Shareholders to appoint the chairman of the EGM as their proxy to vote according to their indicated voting instructions as an alternative to attending the EGM in person.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, the voting at the EGM will be taken by poll, except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by show of hands. An announcement on the poll vote results will be published by the Company after the EGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.
