Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Stock Exchange’’) and Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited (‘‘HKSCC’’) take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement.
This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer or an invitation to induce an offer by any person to acquire, purchase or subscribe for any securities. Potential investors should read the Prospectus for detailed information about the Global Offering described below before deciding whether or not to invest in the Offer Shares.
This announcement is not for release, publication, distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or any other jurisdiction where such distribution is prohibited by law. This announcement does not constitute and is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of any offer to buy securities in the United States or elsewhere. The securities referred to in this announcement have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the ‘‘U.S. Securities Act’’) or any state securities laws of the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the U.S. Securities Act or except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. There will be no public offer of securities of the Company in the United States.

In connection with the Global Offering, Fortune (HK) Securities Limited, as stabilising manager (the ‘‘Stabilising Manager’’), its affiliates or any person acting for it (for itself and on behalf of the Underwriters), may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws of Hong Kong or elsewhere, over-allocate or effect transactions with a view to stabilising or supporting the market price of the Shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail in the open market for a limited period after the Listing Date. Any market purchases of our Shares will be effected in compliance with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements. However, there is no obligation on the Stabilising Manager, its affiliates or any person acting for it to conduct any such stabilising action. Such stabilising action, if taken, will be required to be brought to an end within 30 days of the last day for lodging applications under the Public Offer. The last day for stabilisation period is expected to end on Sunday, 9 February 2020. Such stabilisation action, if taken, may be effected in all jurisdictions where it is permissible to do so, in each case in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulatory requirements, including the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilising) Rules, as amended, made under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong). In Hong Kong, the price at which stabilisation is effected is not permitted to exceed the Offer Price.
Potential investors should be aware that stabilising action cannot be taken to support the price of the Shares for longer than the stabilisation period which begins on the Listing Date and is expected to expire on the 30th day after the last day for the lodging of the applications under the Public Offer. After this date, when no further stabilising action may be taken, demand for the Shares, and therefore the price of the Shares, could fall.

Application has been made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the granting of the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares in issue, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the Global Offering and the Capitalisation Issue and the Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of the options that may be granted under the Share Option Scheme and the Over-allotment Option. Assuming that the Global Offering becomes unconditional at or before 8:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 21 January 2020, dealings in the Shares on the Stock Exchange are expected to commence at 9:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on Tuesday, 21 January 2020. In the event that the Over-allotment Option is exercised, an announcement will be made by the Company on the website of the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk and the website of the Company at www.goldenhighway.com.
The Global Offering comprises the Public Offer of initially 25,000,000 Shares (subject to reallocation) and the Placing of initially 225,000,000 Shares (subject to reallocation and the Over-allotment Option), representing approximately 10% and 90% of the total number of Offer Shares initially being offered under the Global Offering, respectively. The allocation of the Offer Shares between the Public Offer and the Placing will be subject to reallocation as described in the section headed ‘‘Structure and Conditions of the Global Offering’’ in the Prospectus.
The allocation of the Offer Shares between the Public Offer and the Placing will be subject to adjustment as described in the section headed ‘‘Structure and Conditions of the Global Offering’’ in the Prospectus. In particular, the Joint Global Coordinators (for themselves and on behalf of the Underwriters) may reallocate Offer Shares from the Placing to the Public Offer to satisfy valid applications under the Public Offer. In accordance with Guidance Letter HKEX-GL91-18 issued by the Stock Exchange, if such reallocation is done other than pursuant to Practice Note 18 of the Listing Rules, where (i) the Placing Shares are fully subscribed or oversubscribed and the Public Offer Shares are fully subscribed or oversubscribed by less than 15 times of the initial number of the Public Offer Shares or (ii) the Placing Shares are under subscribed and the Public Offer Shares are fully subscribed or oversubscribed irrespective of the number of times, the Offer Price shall be fixed at HK$0.51 per Offer Share (being the low-end of the indicative Offer Price range stated in the Prospectus) and up to 25,000,000 Offer Shares may be reallocated to the Public Offer from the Placing, so that the total number of the Offer Shares available under the Public Offer will be increased to 50,000,000 Offer Shares, representing approximately 20% of the number of the Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering (before any exercise of the Over-allotment option). For further details of the reallocation of the Offer Shares between the Public Offer and the Placing, please refer to the section headed ‘‘Structure and Conditions of the Global Offering’’ in the Prospectus.

In connection with the Global Offering, the Company is expected to grant the Overallotment Option to the Placing Underwriters, which is exercisable by the Joint Global Coordinators (for themselves and on behalf of the Placing Underwriters) from the Listing Date until the 30th day from the last day for lodging applications under the Public Offer, to require the Company to issue and allot up to an aggregate of 37,500,000 additional Shares, representing not more than 15% of the total number of the Offer Shares initially available under the Global Offering, at the same price per Offer Share under the Placing, to cover over-allocations in the Placing, if any. In the event the Over-allotment Option is exercised, an announcement will be made by the Company on the Company’s website at www.goldenhighway.com and the website of the Stock Exchange at www.hkexnews.hk. For details, please refer to the paragraph headed ‘‘Structure and Conditions of the Global Offering – Over-allotment Option’’ in the Prospectus.
Subject to the granting of the approval for listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares on the Stock Exchange and compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the date of commencement of dealings in the Shares on Tuesday, 21 January 2020, on the Stock Exchange or any other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange is required to take place in CCASS on the second Business Day after any trading day. 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 have been made to enable the Shares to be admitted into CCASS.
The Offer Price will not be more than HK$0.65 per Offer Share and is expected to be not less than HK$0.51 per Offer Share unless otherwise announced as further explained in the section headed ‘‘Structure and Conditions of the Global Offering’’ in the Prospectus. Applicants for Offer Shares under the Public Offer are required to pay, on application, the maximum Offer Price of HK$0.65 per Offer Share plus brokerage fee of 1%, SFC transaction levy of 0.0027% and Stock Exchange trading fee of 0.005%, subject to refund if an application is rejected, not accepted or accepted in part only, or if the Offer Price as finally determined is less than the maximum offer price of HK$0.65 per Offer Share (excluding brokerage, SFC transaction levy and the Stock Exchange trading fee thereon), or if the conditions of the Global Offering are not fulfilled in accordance with the section headed ‘‘Structure and Conditions of the Global Offering’’ in the Prospectus or if any application is revoked.
