To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

CONNECTED TRANSACTION

(1) ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE BONDS UNDER SPECIFIC MANDATE IN SETTLEMENT OF PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE

(2) INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcements.

It was announced that on 27 October 2015, the Agreement was entered into by and among Jade Assets, CCT Securities, CCT Fortis, Glory Merit and the Company under which it was agreed that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, (i) the Company will issue and CCT Securities will subscribe for the First Convertible Bonds at the First Issue Price which will be satisfied as full settlement of the outstanding principal and accrued interest (if

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

any) of the First Promissory Note due by the Company to Jade Assets upon Completion; and (ii) the Company will issue and Glory Merit will subscribe for the Second Convertible Bonds at the Second Issue Price to be satisfied as full settlement of all the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the Second Promissory Notes due by the Company to Glory Merit upon Completion. The implementation of the Agreement, the Subscription and the Settlement are subject to fulfillment of the Conditions Precedent.

The Conversion Shares will be allotted and issued under a specific mandate of the Company to be approved by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM by ordinary resolution.

The Supplemental Agreement dated 10 November 2015 was entered into among the parties to the Agreement, under which the parties to the Agreement have agreed to amend certain provisions in the CB Conditions with the effect that the Company will not have any liability or obligations of payment or repayment (whether in cash or otherwise) in respect of the Convertible Bonds under any circumstances, irrespective of whether or not the Convertible Bonds are converted into the Conversion Shares during the Conversion Period or on the maturity date of the Convertible Bonds.

In order to allow the Company to have sufficient unissued Shares for the issue of the Conversion Shares upon the exercise of the Conversion Rights of the Convertible Bonds and the flexibility to issue new Shares for future development, the Company proposes to increase the authorised share capital from HK$1,200,000,000 divided into 120,000,000,000 Shares to HK$3,000,000,000 divided into 300,000,000,000 Shares by the creation of an additional 180,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each which will rank pari passu with all existing Shares.

The proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital is conditional upon the approval of the Shareholders at the SGM by way of an ordinary resolution.

As Mr. Mak is the chairman, an executive director, and chief executive officer of the Company, he is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. As Mr. Mak held approximately 54.79% of the existing issued share capital of CCT Fortis as at the Latest Practicable Date, CCT Fortis is an associate of Mr. Mak and is therefore also a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. The First Subscription and the First Settlement therefore constitute a connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. As the First Subscription, the Second Subscription, the First Settlement and the Second Settlement will be completed simultaneously and each of these transactions will not be completed separately to the exclusion of the others, the Transactions will be subject to announcement, circular and approval by the Independent Shareholders under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The SGM will be convened to consider and if, thought fit, approve the Transactions and any other transactions contemplated under the Agreement as amended by the Supplemental Agreement, and the proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital. The Transactions are subject to approval of the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM. CCT Fortis and its associates (which include CCT Securities) will abstain from voting in respect of resolution(s) to approve the Transactions at the SGM. To the best of the knowledge, information belief having made all reasonable enquiry, none of the Shareholders has any

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

material interest in the proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital and as such, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the SGM to approve the proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital.

The Independent Board Committee comprising Mr. Lau Ho Kit, Ivan and William Robert Majcher have been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether or not the terms of the Agreement as amended by the Supplemental Agreement is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

An independent financial adviser, Proton Capital, has been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether or not the Transactions are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and are the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The purpose of this circular is to:

  • (i) provide the Shareholders with further details of the Agreement as amended by the Supplemental Agreement and the Transactions;

  • (ii) set out the opinion of Proton Capital to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Transactions;

  • (iii) set out the recommendation of the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Transactions; and

  • (i) a discount of approximately 47.37% to the closing price of HK$0.019 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 27 October 2015, being the date of the Agreement;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 49.49% to the average of the closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange of approximately HK$0.0198 per Share for the last ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Agreement;

  • (vi) a premium of approximately of 14.9% over the estimated fully diluted unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to owners of the Company per Share of approximately HK$0.0087, based on the estimated unaudited net asset value attributable to owners of the Company as adjusted by full settlement of the

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Promissory Notes upon Completion of approximately HK$1,590.7 million and the maximum number of Shares in issue following full conversion of the Convertible Bonds of 183,846,093,990 Shares.

The Conversion Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between Jade Assets, CCT Securities, Glory Merit and the Company, with reference to, among other things, (i) the settlement of significant liabilities of the Promissory Notes of the Group, the significant improvement in financial position of the Company and other benefits to be derived by the Group from the Transactions as discussed in the section headed ‘‘Reasons for and benefits of the Transactions’’ of this circular; (ii) the prevailing market price of the Shares; and (iii) the existing unaudited net asset value per Share and estimated fully diluted unaudited net asset value per Share following full conversion of the Convertible Bonds.

The Directors noted that the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange during the period from 1 October 2014 up to and including the Latest Practicable Date (the ‘‘Review Period’’) ranged from the lowest of HK$0.010 in the period from October 2014 to mid-November 2014 to the highest of HK$0.074 on 28 May 2015. It is noted that the closing prices of the Shares rose abruptly in May 2015. Thereafter, the closing prices of the Shares fluctuated and fell gradually and hovered around HK$0.019 recently. The Directors noted that the changes in closing prices of the Shares were not supported by the financial performance of the Group in view of the fact that the Group continued to record losses during the Review Period. The Directors were aware that Jade Assets, CCT Securities and Glory Merit would not have agreed to enter into the Agreement had the Conversion Price not been set at par value as the Bondholders would bear the risk of price fluctuation especially under the current volatile market situation and the unsatisfactory performance of the Group. As such, the Conversion Price of HK$0.010, which is within the range of the closing market prices of the Shares in the Review Period, is considered to be fair and reasonable. Furthermore, the Directors noted that the Conversion Price represented a significant premium of approximately 49.3% to the existing unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share and a substantial premium of approximately 14.9% to the estimated fully diluted unaudited net asset value per Share. Based on the above analysis and comparison and taking into consideration of the financial benefits to be derived by the Group from the Transactions, the Directors consider that the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Conversion Shares

The Conversion Shares will be allotted and issued under a specific mandate of the Company to be approved by the Independent Shareholders at the SGM by ordinary resolution.

  • (1) The maximum of 79,567,100,000 Conversion Shares to be issued upon full conversion of the First Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.01 represent:

  • (i) approximately 107.12% of the existing issued share capital of the Company; and

  • (ii) approximately 43.28% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Conversion Shares upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds.

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (2) The maximum of 30,000,000,000 Conversion Shares to be issued upon full conversion of the Second Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.01 represent:

  • (i) approximately 40.39% of the existing issued share capital of the Company; and

  • (ii) approximately 16.32% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Conversion Shares upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds.

  • (3) The maximum of 109,567,100,000 Conversion Shares to be issued upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.01 represent:

  • (i) approximately 147.51% of the existing issued share capital of the Company; and

  • (ii) approximately 59.60% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Conversion Shares upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds.

The Conversion Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue on the date of allotment and issue thereof.

The Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds will be allotted and issued under a specific mandate to be sought for approval from the Independent Shareholders at the SGM.

Application for listing

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Conversion Shares.

Note: The above table is prepared for illustration purpose only as the conversion of the Convertible Bonds by the Bondholder(s) will be subject to certain restrictions as set out in the CB Conditions, including but not limited to the restriction of conversion of the Convertible Bonds which will result in the Bondholders triggering any mandatory offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTIONS

The Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of telecom, electronic and child products and development and sale of residential and commercial properties in Anshan, Liaoning Province, the PRC. The performance of the manufacturing business has been adversely affected by the sluggish recovery of its major markets, rising labour costs in China due to shortage of labour and severe competition. As for the mainland property business, this business was affected by previously tightened housing policies by the Central Government, the previously tightened liquidity and credit in China, and the price-cutting strategy adopted by local developers. Although mainland housing policies have been relaxed and market liquidity has improved in 2015, the local property market has only rebound slowly and property price in Anshan is still weak. The Directors expect that the operating environment of the principal businesses of the Group will remain uncertain and difficult going forward and they expect that their performance will continue to be impacted by the existing difficulties and challenges.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) have reviewed the financial position of the Group and consider that the Promissory Notes of the total principal amount of HK$1,095,671,000 represent the most significant liabilities and heavy financial burden of the Group, especially as the Promissory Notes of principal amount of HK$900,000,000 will be due on 15 July 2016. In view of the above, the Company has appointed the Financial Adviser to review and advise the Company with financial proposals to settle the Promissory Notes. Various alternatives have been explored by the Company with the Financial Adviser, which include funds raising from capital markets (such as placing of new shares) and bank borrowings. It is considered that placing of new shares to raise huge amount of money in order to repay approximately HK$1.1 billion Promissory Notes would not be feasible under the current share market condition. Raising bank borrowings of such a huge amount is not possible either as the financial performance of the Group is not satisfactory in the past few years. Furthermore, bank borrowings will not improve the financial position of the Company and on the other hand, will incur large amount of interest cost each year. Based on the advice of the Financial Adviser, the Company decided to issue the Convertible Bonds to settle the Promissory Notes and discussed with CCT Fortis and Glory Merit about the proposal and the discussions led to the entering of the Agreement.

The Directors consider that the Agreement as amended by the Supplemental Agreement, the Subscription and the Settlement is the only feasible way of settling the Promissory Notes once and for all. The Directors consider that the Transactions will result in the following benefits to the Group:

  1. all the Promissory Notes which represent huge liabilities and heavy financial burden of the Group will be fully settled upon Completion without requiring any cash outflow and the financial position of the Group will be greatly improved as a result;

  2. as the Convertible Bonds do not bear any interest and any outstanding Convertible Bonds will be automatically converted into Conversion Shares on the maturity date of the Convertible Bonds and there will not be any liability and obligations on the Company for payment or repayment (whether in cash or otherwise) in respect of the Convertible Bonds under any circumstances, the Convertible Bonds will not give rise to any new liability or financial burden to the Group and will be accounted for as equity attributable to owner of the Company;

  3. the capital base of the Company will be significantly enlarged by the issue of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds; and

  4. the net assets of the Group will be significantly increased by the full settlement of all the Promissory Notes upon Completion and its fully diluted net asset value per Share will also be improved correspondingly.

In light of the benefits above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive directors of the Company) is of the view that the terms of Agreement as amended by the Supplemental Agreement are on normal commercial terms and the Transactions are fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

In order to allow the Company to have sufficient unissued Shares for the issue of the Conversion Shares and the flexibility to issue new Shares for future development, the Company proposes to increase the authorised share capital from HK$1,200,000,000 divided into 120,000,000,000 Shares to HK$3,000,000,000 divided into 300,000,000,000 Shares by the creation of an additional 180,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each which will rank pari passu with all existing Shares.

The proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital is conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As Mr. Mak is the chairman, an executive director, and chief executive officer of the Company, he is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. As Mr. Mak held approximately 54.79% of the total issued share capital of CCT Fortis as at the Latest Practicable Date, CCT Fortis is an associate of Mr. Mak and is therefore also a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. The First Subscription and the First Settlement therefore constitute a connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. As the First Subscription, the Second Subscription, the First Settlement and the Second Settlement will be completed simultaneously and each of these transactions will not be completed separately to the exclusion of the others, the Transactions will be subject to announcement, circular and approval by the Shareholders under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. CCT Fortis and its associates will abstain from voting in respect of the resolution(s) to approve the Transactions and any other transactions contemplated under the Agreement as amended by the Supplemental Agreement.

Mr. Mak Shiu Tong, Clement, who is the chairman, an executive director, and the chief executive officer of each of the Company and CCT Fortis and he is also a controlling Shareholder of CCT Fortis, is deemed to have a material interest in the Transactions. As such, he was required to abstain and he did abstain from voting at the meeting of the Board to consider and approve the Transactions by not being present at the relevant meeting of the Board. Save as aforesaid, none of the other Directors has any material interest in the Transactions, and therefore none of them had abstained from voting on the resolution(s) of the Board approving the Transactions.

An independent board committee of the Company comprising Mr. Lau Ho Kit, Ivan and Mr. William Robert Majcher, who are independent non-executive directors of the Company and who have no interest in the Transactions, has been formed pursuant to the requirements of the Listing Rules to advise the Independent Shareholders on terms of the Agreement as amended by the Supplemental Agreement and the Transactions. Mr. Chow Siu Ngor, an independent non-executive director of the Company, is not a member of the Independent Board Committee because he is also an independent non-executive director of CCT Fortis and as such, he is not suitable to act as a member of the Independent Board Committee in respect of the Transactions. Proton Capital has been appointed as the independent financial adviser of the Company to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders for the Transactions.

To the best of the knowledge, information belief having made all reasonable enquiry, none of the Shareholders has any material interest in the proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital and as such, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in respect of the resolution(s) to approve the proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital at the SGM.

SGM

A notice convening the SGM to be held at 31/F., Fortis Tower, 77–79 Gloucester Road, Hong Kong on Friday, 4 December 2015 at 10:30 a.m. is set out on pages 57 to 59 of this circular. At the SGM, an ordinary resolution(s) will be proposed and, if thought fit, passed to approve the Transactions.

To: The Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of CCT Land Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

CONNECTED TRANSACTION ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE BONDS UNDER SPECIFIC MANDATE IN SETTLEMENT OF PROMISSORY NOTES PAYABLE

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Transactions, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ‘‘Board’s Letter’’) contained in the circular of the Company (the ‘‘Circular’’) to the Shareholders dated 17 November 2015, of which this letter forms part. Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

On 27 October 2015, the Agreement was entered into by and among Jade Assets, CCT Securities, CCT Fortis, Glory Merit and the Company under which it was agreed that, subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement, (i) the Company will issue and CCT Securities will subscribe for the First Convertible Bonds at the First Issue Price which will be satisfied as full settlement of the outstanding principal and accrued interest (if any) of the First Promissory Note due by the Company to Jade Assets upon Completion; and (ii) the Company will issue and Glory Merit will subscribe for the Second Convertible Bonds at the Second Issue Price to be satisfied as full settlement of all the outstanding principal and accrued interest of the Second Promissory Notes due by the Company to Glory Merit upon Completion. The implementation of the Agreement, the Subscription and the Settlement are subject to fulfillment of the Conditions Precedent.

On 10 November 2015, the Supplemental Agreement was entered into among the parties to the Agreement, under which the parties to the Agreement have agreed to amend certain provisions in the CB Conditions with the effect that the Company will not have any liability or obligations of payment or repayment (whether in cash or otherwise) in respect of the Convertible Bonds under any circumstances, irrespective of whether or not the Convertible Bonds are converted into the Conversion Shares during the Conversion Period or on the maturity date of the Convertible Bonds.

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

As Mr. Mak is the chairman, an executive director, and chief executive officer of the Company, he is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. As Mr. Mak held approximately 54.79% of the existing total number of issued shares of CCT Fortis as at the Latest Practicable Date, CCT Fortis is an associate of Mr. Mak and is therefore also a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. The First Subscription and the First Settlement therefore constitute a connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. As the First Subscription, the Second Subscription, the First Settlement and the Second Settlement will be completed simultaneously and each of these transactions will not be completed separately to the exclusion of the others, the Transactions will be subject to announcement, circular and approval by the Independent Shareholders under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Independent Board Committee comprising Mr. Lau Ho Kit, Ivan and Mr. William Robert Majcher, who are independent non-executive directors of the Company and have no material interest in the Agreement, Supplemental Agreement and the Transactions, has been formed pursuant to the requirements of the Listing Rules to advise the Independent Shareholders on terms of the Agreement as amended by the Supplemental Agreement and the Transactions. Mr. Chow Siu Ngor, an independent non-executive director of the Company, is not a member of the Independent Board Committee because he is also an independent non-executive director of CCT Fortis and as such, he is not suitable to act as a member of the Independent Board Committee in respect of the Transactions.

We, Proton Capital, have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard. Proton Capital is not connected with the directors, chief executive and substantial shareholders of the Company or the parties to the Agreement (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement) or any of their respective subsidiaries or their respective associates. During the last two years, we were engaged as an independent financial adviser (the ‘‘Previous Engagement’’) in respect of the Company’s connected transaction involving provision of share charge and guarantees, the details of which were set out in the circular dated 17 June 2015. Under the Previous Engagement, we were required to express our opinion on and give recommendation to the independent board committee and the independent shareholders of the Company in respect of the aforesaid transaction. Apart from normal professional fees paid/payable to us by the Company in connection with the Previous Engagement and this appointment, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees or benefits from the Company or the directors, chief executive and substantial shareholders of the Company or any of their subsidiaries or their respective associates. Accordingly, we are qualified to give independent advice in respect of the Transactions.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

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

1. Background of and reasons for the Transactions

Business review of the Group

The Company is the holding company of the Group. The Group is principally engaged in: (i) design and development, manufacturing and sale of telecom, electronic, and child products; and (ii) development and sale of residential and commercial properties in the PRC (‘‘Mainland Property Business’’); and (iii) trading and sale of child products.

Set out below is the financial information of the Group as extracted from the Company’s annual reports for the three years ended 31 December 2014 (‘‘Annual Reports’’) and interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (the ‘‘2015 Interim Report’’):

For the
six months

For the year ended 31 December 30 June
2012 2013 2014 2015
HK$ HK$ HK$ HK$
million million million million
(audited) (audited) (audited) (unaudited)

Gross profit 45 66 43 27
(Loss) for the year/period
attributable to owners of
the Company (58) (31) (53) (35)

As depicted by the above table, there is a continuing decline in the Company’s revenue. Compared with a revenue of approximately HK$1,342 million in the year ended 31 December 2012, the Company’s revenue dropped by approximately 11.10% to approximately HK$1,193 million in the year ended 31 December 2013 and further decreased by approximately 13.33% to approximately HK$1,034 million in the year ended 31 December 2014. Revenue of the Company was approximately HK$437 million for the six months ended 30 June 2015. The Group had continued to incur net losses since the 2007 financial year. We noted from the Annual Reports and the 2015 Interim Report that the Company’s sales of products have been affected by the sluggish economic growth of its major markets in Europe and intensifying competition in the cordless phone section. The significant devaluation of euro against US dollar has also dampened consumer demand or telecom and electronic products in the European markets. In addition, shortage of labour and the continuing

– 31 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

rise in wage level in the Guangdong Province, the PRC remained one of the biggest challenges to the Group’s product manufacturing and sales. Regarding the Mainland Property Business, though there was improvement in the revenue in the first half of 2015, as local property prices remained weak and revenue from property sales remained at a relatively low level, this business segment still recorded an operating loss.

Net losses attributable to equity holders of the Company for the three years ended 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and six months ended 30 June 2015 were approximately HK$58 million, approximately HK$31 million, approximately HK$53 million and approximately HK$35 million, respectively. We noted that the reduction of the net loss in the year ended 31 December 2013 to approximately HK$31 million was attributable to the inclusion of an unrealised fair value gain of $45 million arising on revaluation of the Shenzhen office properties rather than improvement in the performance of the businesses of the Group.

Set out below is a summary of certain data relating to the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2012, 2013 and 2014 and 30 June 2015:

As at
As at 31 December 30 June
2012 2013 2014 2015
HK$ HK$ HK$ HK$
million million million million
(audited) (audited) (audited) (unaudited)
Cash and cash equivalents 263 346 208 230
Total assets 1,470 2,655 2,607 2,570
Total liabilities (979) (2,184) (2,187) (2,075)
Net assets 491 471 420 495
Gearing ratio (total
liabilities over total assets) 66.60% 82.30% 83.89% 80.74%

As for the assets and liabilities position of the Group, we noted from the above table that the available level of cash and cash equivalents is not enough to repay the total outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Notes of HK$1,095,671,000 due by the Company to Jade Assets and Glory Merit as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Company needs to find means to settle the Promissory Notes. From 31 December 2012 to 30 June 2015, the Group’s gearing ratio (calculated as total liabilities over total assets) expanded significantly from approximately 66.60% to 80.74%.

Financing alternatives available to the Group

For our due diligence purpose, we have enquired and were informed by Directors that the Company has considered other financing alternatives, including bank borrowings and equity financing. We understand from the Directors that

– 32 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

borrowings are not possible as the financial performance of the Group is not satisfactory in the past few years. We have reviewed the 2015 Interim Report and noted that as at 30 June 2015, (i) the Group had bank borrowings of approximately HK$503 million, in aggregate; (ii) significant amount of the Group’s assets which included certain assets of the Group with a net book value of approximately HK$1,163 million, net assets of a subsidiary having a book value of approximately HK$288 million and time deposits of approximately HK$219 million had already been pledged to secure general banking facilities granted to the Group to finance operations and to secure arrangements for hedging RMB exposure; and (iii) the gearing ratio of the Group was at a high level of 80.74%. Also, as advised by the Directors, notwithstanding members of the Group had ceased to be accounted for as subsidiaries of the CCT Fortis Group since 18 December 2014, the bank providing trade finance facilities to the Group continues to request the provision of corporate guarantees by CCT Fortis as one of the conditions for the bank to continue to grant the trade finance facilities to the Group due to the fact that the Group remains in a loss position and the CCT Fortis has a stronger financial position than the Group. As such, we consider that it is very unlikely for the Group to finance the repayment of the Promissory Notes by bank borrowings in the absence of sufficient collaterals. Furthermore, the Directors are of the view that it is not beneficial to the Company to refinance the Promissory Notes by means of bank or borrowings as this alternative will not improve the gearing ratio or the financial position of the Group on one hand and on the other hand, bank borrowings will impose significant burden on the Group to service the interest payments and principal repayment and will incur large amount of financial costs each year, which will further negatively impact the Group’s financial performance. Therefore, the Directors are of the opinion that raising funds from borrowings from banks or other lenders to repay the Promissory Notes is neither feasible nor in the interest of the Company.

With regard to equity financing, the Directors advised us that although both open offer and rights issue might allow Shareholders to maintain their respective prorata shareholdings in the Company and at the same time to strengthen the capital base of the Company, such fund raising exercises require the Company to procure commercial underwriting. The Directors, after discussing with the Financial Adviser, found that procurement of commercial underwriting would be difficult given the material fluctuations in the market prices of the Company and the volatile market conditions in Hong Kong stock market in the past few months.

Although the Company successfully completed a placement of new Shares in May 2015 and raised net proceeds of approximately HK$104 million for general working capital and business development and investment, we concur with the view of the Directors that it is unlikely for the Company to raise approximately HK$1,096 million by placing of new shares as investors would not be interested in investing huge amount of money into Company for the purpose of repayment of the existing liabilities represented by the Promissory Notes rather than for future development of Group.

– 33 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

Based on the aforesaid, we concur with the Directors’ view that the Subscription and the Settlement would be an optimal financing alternative of the Company to settlement the Promissory Notes.

Reasons for and benefits of the Transactions

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is indebted to Jade Assets the First Promissory Note of outstanding principal amount of HK$795,671,000 and the Company is indebted to Glory Merit the Second Promissory Notes of outstanding principal amount of HK$300,000,000 in aggregate. Of the HK$1,095,671,000 Promissory Notes, the Promissory Notes of HK$900,000,000 are interest-free and the balance of HK$195,671,000 carry interest 3% per annum. The maturity dates of the Promissory Notes range from 15 July 2016 to 3 July 2018. Further details of the Promissory Notes were set out in the Board’s Letter under the sub-section headed ‘‘Subject matter of the Agreement as amended by the Supplemental Agreement’’.

According to the Board’s Letter, the Group is principally engaged in the manufacturing and sale of telecom, electronic and child products and development and sale of residential and commercial properties in Anshan, Liaoning Province, the PRC. The performance of the manufacturing business has been adversely affected by the sluggish recovery of its major markets, rising labour costs in China due to shortage of labour and severe competition. As for the Mainland Property Business, this business was affected by previously tightened housing policies by the Central Government, the previously tightened liquidity and credit in China, and the pricecutting strategy adopted by local developers. Although mainland housing policies have been relaxed and market liquidity has improved in 2015, the local property market has only rebound slowly and property price in Anshan is still weak. The Directors expect that the operating environment of the principal businesses of the Group will remain uncertain and difficult going forward and they expect that their performance will continue to be impacted by the existing difficulties and challenges.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) have reviewed the financial position of the Group and consider that the Promissory Notes of the total principal amount of HK$1,095,671,000 represent the most significant liabilities and heavy financial burden of the Group, especially as the Promissory Notes of principal amount of HK$900,000,000 will be due on 15 July 2016. In view of the above, the Company has appointed the Financial Adviser to review and advise the Company with financial proposals to settle the Promissory Notes. Various alternatives have been explored by the Company with the Financial Adviser, which include funds raising from capital markets (such as placing of new shares) and borrowings from banks or other lenders. It is considered that placing of new shares to raise huge amount of money in order to repay approximately HK$1.1 billion Promissory Notes would not be feasible under the current share market condition. The Directors considered that it is unlikely that investors or shareholders would be interested in investing funds in the Company for repayment of the Promissory Notes. Raising bank or other borrowings of such a huge amount is not possible either as the financial performance of the Group is not satisfactory in the past few years and no

– 34 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

bank or lender would be willing to lend a large amount of money to the Company to refinance the Promissory Notes. Furthermore, bank borrowings will not improve the financial position of the Company and on the other hand, will incur large amount of interest cost each year. Based on the advice of the Financial Adviser, the Company decided to issue the Convertible Bonds to settle the Promissory Notes and discussed with CCT Fortis and Glory Merit about the proposal and the discussions led to the entering of the Agreement.

The Directors consider that the Agreement as amended by the Supplemental Agreement, the Subscription and the Settlement is the only feasible way of settling the Promissory Notes once and for all. The Directors consider that the Transactions will result in the following benefits to the Group:

  1. all the Promissory Notes which represent huge liabilities and heavy financial burden of the Group will be fully settled upon Completion without requiring any cash outflow and the financial position of the Group will be greatly improved as a result;

  2. as the Convertible Bonds do not bear any interest and any outstanding Convertible Bonds will be automatically converted into Conversion Shares on the maturity date of the Convertible Bonds and there will not be any liability and obligations on the Company for payment or repayment (whether in cash or otherwise) in respect of the Convertible Bonds under any circumstances, the Convertible Bonds will not give rise to any new liability or financial burden to the Group and will be accounted for as equity attributable to owner of the Company;

  3. the capital base of the Company will be significantly enlarged by the issue of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds; and

  4. the net assets of the Group will be significantly increased by full settlement of all the Promissory Notes upon Completion and its fully diluted net asset value per Share will also be improved correspondingly.

In light of the benefits above, the Directors (including the independent nonexecutive directors of the Company) is of the view that the terms of Agreement as amended by the Supplemental Agreement are on normal commercial terms and the Transactions are fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

Based on the foregoing reasons for and expected benefits of the Subscription and the Settlement and having considered (i) the unsatisfactory financial performance of the Group in the past few years; (ii) the high gearing ratio of the Group; (iii) Promissory Notes of principal amount of HK$900,000,000 will be due on 15 July 2016 but the Group’s cash level is not enough to settle all the Promissory Notes and funds raising from the capital market and borrowings to repay the Promissory Notes is not considered feasible; and (iv) the financial benefits that will be derived by the

– 35 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

Group from the Transactions as stated in the above paragraphs, we consider that the Subscription and the Settlement are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, CCT Fortis holds indirectly through CCT Securities a total of 6,426,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 8.65% of the existing total number of issued shares of the Company. Details on the movements of the Shares held by the CCT Fortis Group for the 12-month up the Latest Practicable Date were set out in the Board’s Letter under the section headed ‘‘Movements of the Shares held by the CCT Fortis Group for the 12-month up the Latest Practicable Date’’. As Mr. Mak is the chairman, an executive director, and chief executive officer of the Company, he is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. As Mr. Mak holds approximately 54.79% of the existing total number of issued shares of CCT Fortis as at the Latest Practicable Date, CCT Fortis is an associate of Mr. Mak and is therefore also a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries by the Directors, Glory Merit and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons.

The Board’s Letter also disclosed that the Directors noted that the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange during the period from 1 October 2014 up to and including the Latest Practicable Date (the ‘‘Review Period’’) ranged from the lowest of HK$0.010 in the period from October 2014 to mid-November 2014 to the highest of HK$0.074 on 28 May 2015. It is noted that the closing prices of the Shares rose abruptly in May 2015. Thereafter, the closing prices of the Shares fluctuated and fell gradually and hovered around HK$0.019 recently. The Directors noted that the changes in closing prices of the Shares were not supported by the financial performance of the Group in view of the fact that the Group continued to record losses during the Review Period. The Directors were aware that Jade Assets, CCT Securities and Glory Merit would not have agreed to enter into the Agreement had the Conversion Price not been set at par value as the Bondholders would bear the risk of price fluctuation especially under the current volatile market situation and the unsatisfactory performance of the Group. As such, the Conversion Price of HK$0.010, which is within the range of the closing market prices of the Shares in the Review Period, is considered to be fair and reasonable. Furthermore, the Directors noted that the Conversion Price represented a significant premium of approximately 49.3% to the existing unaudited consolidated net asset value per Share and a substantial premium of approximately 14.9% to the estimated fully diluted unaudited net asset value per Share. Based on the above analysis and comparison and

taking into consideration of the financial benefits to be derived by the Group from the Transactions, the Directors consider that the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(i) Historical Share price performance

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Conversation Price, we have reviewed the daily closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the Review Period, being a period of approximately one year prior to the Subscription Agreement and up the Latest Practicable Date. The comparison of daily closing prices of the Shares and the Conversion Price is illustrated as follows:

(ii) Comparison with the net assets of the Company

In comparison with the net assets of the Company, we noted that the Conversion Price of HK$0.01 per Share is at a material premium of approximately 49.3% over the unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to owners of the Company per Share (‘‘Unaudited NAV per Share’’) of approximately HK$0.0067, based on the latest unaudited net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$495 million as at 30 June 2015 and the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date of 74,278,993,990 Shares. We also noted that the Conversion Price represents a premium of approximately of 14.9% over the estimated fully diluted unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to owners of the Company per Share of approximately HK$0.0087, based on the estimated unaudited net asset value attributable to owners of the Company as adjusted by full settlement of the Promissory Notes upon Completion of approximately HK$1,590.7 million and the maximum number of Shares in issue following full conversion of the Convertible Bonds of 183,846,093,990 Shares.

(iii) Comparison with other issue/subscription of convertible bonds/notes exercises

To further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Conversion Price, we have further identified those issue/subscription of convertible bonds/notes exercises under specific mandate which were announced by companies listed on the Stock Exchange from 1 May 2015 up to the Last Trading Day (the ‘‘Comparables’’), being a period of approximately six months prior to and including the Last Trading Day. To the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, we found 17 transactions which met the said criteria and we considered the sample size to be fair and representative as the Comparables can reflect the latest market practice prior to the Last Trading Day. We consider that the aforesaid sampling period is adequate and appropriate given that such period is sufficiently recent to demonstrate the prevailing market practices prior to the Last Trading Day. Shareholders should note that the businesses, operations, financial position, performance, results and prospects of the Company are not the same as the Comparables.

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

We noted from the above table that the conversion prices of the convertible bonds/notes of the Comparables ranged from a discount of approximately 85.27% to a premium of approximately 10.77% to/over (‘‘Comparable Discount/Premium’’) the respective closing prices of their shares on the last trading day prior to the release of announcement/date of agreement in relation to the respective issue/ subscription of convertible notes/bonds exercises (the ‘‘Market Range’’) with an average discount of 36.99%. We further noted that majority of the Comparables, i.e. 14 out of the 17 Comparables (approximately 82%), set the conversion price of their respective convertible bonds/notes at a discount to the respective closing prices of their shares on the last trading day prior to the release of announcement/date of agreement. Among those 14 Comparables’ issue of convertible bonds/notes with conversion price at a discount, (i) the average Comparable Discounts is approximately 46.59%; and (ii) the Comparable Discounts of 7 Comparables (i.e. 50%) is higher than the LTD Discount of the Convertible Bonds of 47.37%.

In view that the LTD Discount of the Convertible Bonds of approximately 47.37% is:

  • (i) within the Market Range;

  • (ii) in line with the market practice of issuing convertible bonds/notes at a discount in view that majority of the Comparables, i.e. 14 out of the 17 Comparables (approximately 82%), set the conversion price of their respective convertible bonds/notes at a significant discount to the respective closing prices of their shares on the last trading day prior to the release of announcement/date of agreement;

  • (iii) close/comparable to the average Comparable Discounts of approximately 46.59% of those 14 Comparables issue convertible bonds/notes with conversion price at a discount; and

  • (iv) lower than the Comparable Discounts of 7 out of the 14 Comparables which issue convertible bonds/notes at a discount.

we consider that the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable.

On the basis of the aforesaid and that (i) the significant expected financial benefits to be derived by the Company from the Transactions as discussed in section 2 of this letter; (ii) the Conversion Price represents a material premium over the Unaudited NAV per Share; (iii) the Conversion Price is within the range of the closing market prices of the Shares during the Review Period; and (iv) the Group had continued to incur losses since 2007, there was no improvement in the Group’s financial performance in the Review Period and thus the fluctuation in the closing market prices of the Shares was not supported by the financial performance of the Group, we consider the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable and the Subscription is in the interest of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

3. Financial effects of the Transactions

(a) Positive impact on the financial position and net assets value

We noted that the Promissory Notes will be settled by the issue of the Convertible Bonds upon Completion. We further noted that according to the terms of the Convertible Bonds (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement), the Convertible Bonds will not bear any interest and any outstanding Convertible Bonds will be automatically converted into Conversion Shares on the maturity date of the Convertible Bonds. Any outstanding Convertible Bonds which are not converted into Conversion Shares during the Conversion Period or on the Maturity Date will be cancelled without any liability, obligations or payment or repayment on the Company. Therefore, the financial position of the Group is expected to be significantly improved and strengthened as a result of the Transactions.

(b) Positive impacts on liquidity and working capital

All the Promissory Notes will be fully settled upon Completion without any cash outflow of the Group. As the Promissory Notes carry interests ranging from nil to 3% per annum and their principal amounts are due for repayment upon maturity, the Subscription and the Settlement will have significant positive impacts on the liquidity and working capital of the Group as the Company will not have any liability or obligations of principal repayment or interest payment under the Convertible Bonds.

(c) Positive impact on the Company’s gearing ratio

As discussed in the section headed ‘‘Information on the Company’’ in this letter, Group’s gearing ratio (calculated as total liabilities over total assets) as at 30 June 2015 amounted to approximately 80.74%, in which the Promissory Notes represented over 50% of the liabilities of the Group. The Directors expected that upon Completion, the estimated unaudited consolidated total liabilities of the Group would be reduced by the outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Notes. Assuming there is no change in the other liabilities of the Group since 30 June 2015, the gearing ratio of the Group would be significantly improved. The Directors expect that such improvement in gearing ratio and financial position of the Group as a result of the Transactions will be viewed positively by the existing bank lenders and creditors of the Group.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purpose only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Company will be upon Completion or upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds.

4. Dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders

The maximum of 109,567,100,000 Conversion Shares to be issued upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.01 represent (i) approximately 147.51% of the existing issued share capital of the Company; and (ii) approximately 59.60% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Conversion Shares upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds.

According to the Board’s Letter, to the best knowledge of the Directors and the Company, assuming that no other Shares will be issued, the shareholding structure of the Company (i) as at the Latest Practicable Date, and (ii) immediately after Completion and full conversion of the Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.01 per Conversion Share, shall be as follows:

Note: The above table is prepared for illustration purpose only as the conversion of the Convertible Bonds by the Bondholder(s) will be subject to certain restrictions as set out in the CB Conditions, including but not limited to the restriction of conversion of the Convertible Bonds which will result in the Bondholders triggering any mandatory offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

The table above illustrates that the aggregate shareholdings of the existing public Shareholders would decrease from approximately 91.34% as at the Latest Practicable Date to approximately 36.90% upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds. Such potential dilution to the shareholdings of the public Shareholders represents a dilution of approximately 54.44 percent point.

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

After taking into account (i) the Promissory Notes of principal amount of HK$900,000,000 will be due on 15 July 2016 but the Group’s cash level is not enough to settle all the Promissory Notes and funds raising from the capital market and borrowings to repay the Promissory Notes is not considered feasible especially taking into account of the high gearing ratio and the continuing loss making position of the Group since 2007; (ii) the fact that the Subscription and the Settlement will enable the Company to settle and capitalise the Promissory Notes owed by the Company into equity capital without any cash outlay immediately and in the future (according to the terms of Convertible Bonds, in the event that any outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Bonds are not converted into Conversion Shares on the Maturity Date for any reasons, the outstanding Convertible Bonds shall be cancelled on the Maturity Date without any payment or repayment (in cash or otherwise), liability or obligation on the Company in respect of the Convertible Bonds and their cancellation); (iii) the Board’s reasons for and benefits of the Transactions as discussed in earlier part of this letter; (iv) the possible financial benefits of the Subscription and the Settlement to the Group in terms of enlargement in capital position, enhancement of net asset value of the Group and net asset value per Share, reduced gearing level and improvement in the working capital position of the Group as discussed in the section headed ‘‘Financial effects of the Transactions’’ in this letter, we are of the view that the dilution in the shareholding interests of the public Shareholders as mentioned above is not prejudicial to their interests and thus is acceptable.

RECOMMENDATION

Accordingly, we would recommend the Independent Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favour of the proposed resolution(s) to approve the Agreement as amended by the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the forthcoming SGM.

5. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As disclosed in the 2014 annual report of the Group, the operating environment of the manufacturing business of telecom, electronic and child products engaged by the Group was difficult and its performance has been adversely affected by the sluggish economic recovery in its major markets, intensifying competition which exerted significant pressure on price reduction, and rising input costs (especially labour wages due to shortage of labour in the Guangdong Province). Furthermore, the significant devaluation of euro has dampened consumer demand of telecom and electronic products in the region. The mainland property development business in the PRC engaged by the Group also faced difficult operating environment caused mainly by tightened housing policies previously imposed by the Chinese Central Government and previously tightened liquidity and credit, coupled with low-price or price-cutting strategies adopted by local developers. As a result, the performance of the mainland property development business was also affected. These unfavourable operating factors continue to affect the Group’s principal business since 31 December 2014. Save for the above, the Directors have confirmed that there has been no material adverse change in the financial or trading position or prospects of the Group since 31 December 2014, being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Group were made up, up to the Latest Practicable Date.
