LETTER FROM THE BOARD

CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The board of directors ( the “Directors” ) of the Company announced on 24th February, 2004 that the board lot for trading in the Shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited will be changed from 2,000 Shares to 100,000 Shares with effect from 31st March, 2004. On 9th March, 2004, the Company further announced that the board lot for trading in the Shares will be further changed from 2,000 Shares to 30,000 Shares instead. The change is effected in order to reduce the trading costs for the Shareholders and investors of the Company.

As from 31st March, 2004, the existing certificates of the Shares in board lots of 2,000 Shares will continue to be evidence of entitlement to such Shares and be valid for trading, delivery and settlement purpose. There will be no new Share certificate for existing issued Shares as a result of the change in board lot size, and therefore no arrangement for free exchange of existing Share certificates. The change in the size of the board lot of Shares will not affect the entitlement to dividend distributable to the Shares. As from 31st March, 2004, any certificates for new Shares will be issued in board lot size of 30,000 Shares (except for odd lots or where the Company’s share registrars are otherwise instructed). Certificates for new Shares will have the same format and colour as the existing certificates of Shares.

In order to alleviate the difficulties in trading odd lots of Shares represented by existing certificates of Shares arising as a result of the consolidation of board lots, the Company has appointed Kingston Securities Limited as an agent to match the sale and purchase of odd lots of Shares during the period from Wednesday, 31st March, 2004 to Friday, 30th April, 2004 (both days inclusive). Holders of the Shares in odd lots represented by existing certificates for Shares who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots or to top-up their odd lot to a full board lot may contact Ms. Rosita Kiu of Kingston Securities Limited of Suite 2801, One International Finance Centre, 1 Harbour View Street, Central, Hong Kong (Tel. No. 2298 6215) from Wednesday, 31st March, 2004 to Friday, 30th April, 2004. Holders of odd lots should note that the matching of odd lots is not guaranteed.

GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES

As the general mandate granted to the Directors at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 12th December, 2003 ( the “AGM” ) to issue new Shares will have been almost used up upon completion of the following transaction (which is expected to take place on or about 12th March, 2004) in respect of issue of new Shares or securities convertible into Shares:

  • subject to the condition as mentioned in the Company’s announcement dated 24th February, 2004, 1,400,000,000 Shares shall be issued and allotted to three independent placees pursuant to three separate placing agreements signed on 21st and 22nd February, 2004,

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the Directors are seeking the passing of an ordinary resolution at the SGM to give to the Directors a new general mandate ( the “New Issue Mandate” ) to allot, issue, and otherwise deal with new Shares with an aggregate nominal amount not exceeding 20 per cent. of the aggregate nominal amount of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of passing of the proposed resolution.

The Directors will also propose a separate resolution at the SGM to add to the New Issue Mandate any Shares repurchased by the Company pursuant to the repurchase mandate granted to the Directors at the AGM.

With reference to the New Issue Mandate, the Directors wish to state that they have no immediate plans to issue any new Shares.

SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

The SGM of the Company will be held at 10:00 a.m. on 26th March, 2004 at Moon’s Room, 28/F, Novotel Century Harbourview, 508 Queen’s Road West, Western District, Hong Kong, whereat ordinary resolutions will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, approve the New Issue Mandate. Notice of the SGM is set out on pages 4 to 6 of this circular.

There is a form of proxy for use at the SGM accompanying this circular.. Whether or not you intend to attend the SGM, you are requested to complete and return the form of proxy to the Company’s principal place of business in accordance with the instructions printed thereon not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not prevent you from attending and voting in person at the SGM should you so desire.

RECOMMENDATION

The New Issue Mandate enables the Company to issue further Shares without delay that may be caused by the need to seek Shareholders’ approval as each opportunity arises.

The Directors consider that the granting of the New Issue Mandate is in the interests of the Company and recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of such resolution at the SGM.

Yours faithfully For and on behalf of Credit Card DNA Security System (Holdings) Limited Wong Hoi Keung Managing Director
