To the Shareholders and, for information only, the holders of the Share Options and Convertible Bonds,
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND
PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND NOTICE OF THE SGM
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 28 August 2017, in which the Board proposed to (i) implement a Share Consolidation on the basis that every twenty (20) Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company be consolidated into one
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
(1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.2 in the share capital of the Company, and (ii) subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, change the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange from 80,000 Existing Shares to 20,000 Consolidated Shares.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the information in relation to the Share Consolidation and to give you the notice of the SGM.
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The Board proposes to implement a Share Consolidation on the basis that every twenty (20) Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.2 each in the share capital of the Company.
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions:
-
(i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Share Consolidation at the SGM; and
-
(ii) the listing committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions above had been fulfilled.
Subject to the fulfillment of the above conditions, the Share Consolidation is expected to become effective on Friday, 29 September 2017, which is the business day immediately following the date of the SGM.
Effects of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$3,000,000,000 divided into 300,000,000,000 Existing Shares of a par value of HK$0.01 each, of which 134,278,993,990 Existing Shares had been allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and assuming that no further Existing Shares are issued or bought back from the Latest Practicable Date until the effective date of the Share Consolidation, the authorised share capital of the Company shall become HK$3,000,000,000 divided into 15,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares of a par value of HK$0.2 each, of which 6,713,949,699 Consolidated Shares, which are fully paid or credited as fully paid, will be in issue.
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the Share Consolidation will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders in accordance with the Bye-laws.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
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, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which Shareholders may be entitled.
Listing application
An application has been made by the Company to the listing committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares.
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 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 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 CCASS.
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 becoming 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 in is being or is proposed to be sought.
Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares
Fractional Consolidated Shares 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 benefits 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 Existing Share Certificates held by such holder.
Shareholders concerned about losing out on any fractional entitlement are recommended to consult their licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant or other professional adviser and may wish to consider the possibility of buying or selling Existing Shares in a number sufficient to make up an entitlement to receive a whole number of Consolidated Shares.
Arrangement on odd lot trading
In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed Kingsway to provide matching service, 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
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
the Consolidated Shares during the period from 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 17 October 2017 to 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 6 November 2017 (both days inclusive). Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Mr. So Man Hong of Kingsway at 7/F, Tower One, Lippo Centre, 89 Queensway, Hong Kong (telephone: (852) 2283-7698) during office hours of such period. Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder who is in doubt about the odd lot facility is recommended to consult his/her/ its own professional advisers.
Exchange of share certificate
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Shareholders may between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on any business day from Friday, 29 September 2017 to Wednesday, 8 November 2017 (both days inclusive) submit Existing Share Certificates to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expenses of the Company, for New Share Certificates. Thereafter, Existing Share Certificates will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) by the Shareholders for each Existing Share Certificate submitted for cancellation or each New Share Certificate issued, whichever the number of share certificates cancelled/issued is higher.
After 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 6 November 2017 Existing Share Certificates will only remain valid and effective as documents of title and may be exchanged for New Share Certificates at any time but will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes.
Adjustments in relation to the other securities of the Company
Share Options
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had outstanding Share Options entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for a total of 5,955,000,000 Existing Shares. Under the terms and conditions of the Share Option Scheme, the Share Consolidation may lead to adjustments to the number of Shares available for issue under the unutilised scheme limit of the Share Option Scheme, and/or the exercise price and/or the number of Shares falling to be issued upon the exercise of the Share Options. The Company will make further announcement(s) on such adjustment(s) as and when appropriate. Assuming there are no other adjustment events under the Share Option Scheme other than the proposed Share Consolidation becoming effective, the outstanding Share Options will entitle holders thereof to subscribe for up to 297,750,000 Consolidated Shares.
Convertible Bonds
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there was an outstanding Convertible Bonds with a principal amount of HK$495,671,000 which is convertible into 49,567,100,000 Existing Shares at the prevailing conversion price of HK$0.01. The Share Consolidation may lead to adjustment to the conversion price and the number of Shares falling to be issued upon the exercise of the conversion right attaching to the Convertible Bonds in accordance with the
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds. The Company will make further announcement(s) on such adjustment(s) as and when appropriate. Assuming there are no other adjustment events in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds other than the proposed Share Consolidation becoming effective, the outstanding Convertible Bonds with a principal amount of HK$495,671,000 will entitle holders thereof to subscribe for up to 2,478,355,000 Consolidated Shares.
Save as disclosed above, the Company does not have any other derivatives, options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares, as the case may be, as at the Latest Practicable Date.
PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
Currently, the Existing Shares are traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange in the board lot of 80,000 Existing Shares. As the value of each board lot of Consolidated Shares is expected to increase after dealings in the Consolidated Shares commence, the Board further proposes to change the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange from 80,000 Existing Shares to 20,000 Consolidated Shares, subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
Reasons for the 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 issuer may be required either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities. The Existing Shares have been traded in the region of HK$0.01 since March 2017. In view of the recent trading price of the Existing Shares and after weighing the potential benefits and the immediate effect of the Share Consolidation on increasing the trading price per Share and the minimal expenses involved in the Share Consolidation, the Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation and considers that the Share Consolidation would be most effective and practical mean to bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange after considering all other alternatives. It is expected that the Share Consolidation would enable the Company to comply with the Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules.
Furthermore, the Board has assessed potential consolidation ratios such as 20:1 and 10:1, after due and careful commercial consideration, the Board determined that a 20:1 ratio would be the ideal consolidation ratio, which would bring the share price of the Company up to approximately HK$0.2 (based on the assumption that the price per Share is at approximately HK$0.01 as at the Latest Practicable Date). It is also believed that the adjusted share price as a result of the Share Consolidation will enhance the corporate image of the Company so as to make investing in the Consolidated Shares more attractive to a broader range of investors, and the Board believes that this would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As at the Latest Practicable Date, other than the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size, the Company has no plan to carry out in the next 12 months any share consolidation, shares subdivision or change in board lot size.
The reason behind the Change in Board Lot Size is that, on the assumption that the price per Share is at approximately HK$0.01 as at the Latest Practicable Date and would be approximately HK$0.2 after the Share Consolidation, given the current board lot size of 80,000 Existing Shares, each board lot will be traded at approximately HK$16,000 per lot. The Company has a significant proportion of retail investors in Hong Kong, for which HK$16,000 per board lot would be too high and hence unattractive. Taking into consideration the Stock Exchange’s guidance that a listed issuer’s board lot size should be a minimum of HK$2,000, the Company proposes the Change in Board Lot Size, which would result in each board lot being traded at approximately HK$4,000 (based on the Company’s trading prices as at the Latest Practicable Date).
For the reasons set out above, the Directors consider that the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size are beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
GENERAL
Notice of the SGM is set out on pages SGM-1 to SGM-3 of this circular.

In order to be valid, a form of proxy in the prescribed form together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed, or a notarially certified copy of such power or authority, must be lodged with the branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be).

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude shareholders from attending and voting in person at the SGM or at any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be) should they so wish, and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
