To the Shareholders,
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION, PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
On 16 November 2017, the Board announced the proposal to effect the Share Consolidation whereby every twenty (20) existing issued and unissued Share of par value of HK$0.0025 each in the share capital of the Company will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.05 each.
— 5 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information regarding the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size and to give you the notice of the EGM to be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the Share Consolidation.
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The Board proposes that every twenty (20) existing issued and unissued Share of par value of HK$0.0025 each in the share capital of the Company be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of HK$0.05 each.
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon (i) the passing of the ordinary resolution to approve the Share Consolidation by the Shareholders at the EGM; and (ii) the Listing Committee granting approval to the listing of and permission to deal in the Consolidated Shares.
Assuming all the conditions are fulfilled, the Share Consolidation will become effective on the Business Day following the passing of the ordinary resolution at the EGM, which will be held on Wednesday, 20 December 2017.
Listing Application
An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee 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, upon the Share Consolidation being effective, 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 trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. The Shareholders should seek the advice of their stockbroker or other professional adviser for details of those settlement arrangements and how such arrangements will affect their rights and interests.
None of the Shares or debt securities of the Company are listed or dealt in 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 is being or is proposed to be sought.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effect of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$200,000,000 divided into 80,000,000,000 Shares of par value of HK$0.0025 each, of which 34,052,315,118 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the EGM, immediately after the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$200,000,000 divided into 4,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.05 each, of which 1,702,606,755 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.05 each will be in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid following the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding options, warrants or other securities in issue which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into, any Shares or Consolidated Shares, as the case may be.
All Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other. Fractions of Consolidated Shares that arise from the Share Consolidation will not be allocated to the Shareholders otherwise entitled thereto and will be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company.
The implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operation, management or financial position of the Company and the interests and rights of the Shareholders, save that any fractional Consolidated Shares will not be allocated to Shareholders who may otherwise be entitled and the necessary professional expenses for the implementation of the Share Consolidation.
Free exchange of share certificates and trading arrangement
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is expected to be on Thursday, 21 December 2017, Shareholders may, during the period from Thursday, 21 December 2017 to Thursday, 1 February 2018 (both days inclusive) between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on any Business Day, submit the Existing Share Certificates to the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, at the expenses of the Company, for the New Share Certificates of the Consolidated Shares. Thereafter, each Existing Share Certificate will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) per certificate issued and cancelled, whichever is higher, payable by the Shareholders. Nevertheless, the Existing Share Certificates will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for the New Share Certificates for the Consolidated Shares at any time after Thursday, 1 February 2018 but are not accepted for trading, settlement and registration upon completion of the Share Consolidation.
— 7 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The New Share Certificates will be issued in blue to distinguish from the Existing Share Certificates which are in gray.
PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Shares are traded in board lots of 10,000 Shares. The Board proposes to change the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange from 10,000 Shares to 5,000 Consolidated Shares after and conditional upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
Based on the closing price of HK0.035 per Share (equivalent to HK$0.70 per Consolidated Share) as at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each board lot of 5,000 Consolidated Shares, assuming the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size had already become effective, would be HK$3,500.
Arrangement on odd lot trading
In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares, the Company has appointed Eternal Pearl Securities Limited as agent to provide matching service, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to top up or sell their holding of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Mr. Kelvin Cheng of Eternal Pearl Securities Limited at 19/F, 88 Gloucester Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong or at telephone number (852) 3199 0686 during office hours.
Shareholders should note that matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed.
REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND THE CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
The Board noted that, when the price of the Shares is below HK$1.00 per share, it is not conducive to building an institutional investor base for the Company as many institutional investors are not permitted by their respective investment mandates, internal policies or guidelines to deal in securities with a market price below HK$1.00. The Share Consolidation will increase the par value of the Shares and it is expected that the Share Consolidation would lead to a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares on the Main Board.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As mentioned in the announcements of the Company in respect of the acquisition of entire equity interest in 深圳博瑞企業管理有限公司 (Shenzhen Borui Enterprise Management Company Limited*) dated 13 November 2017 and 17 November 2017 respectively, the transaction was completed on 17 November 2017 and the outstanding balance of the consideration amounting to RMB750 million (approximately HK$858 million) together with the accrued interests have to be paid on or before 30 March 2018. As such, the Company needs to arrange for the extra funding to settle the said sum. The Board is considering to raise a certain portion of funding through equity, for example, by placement of new shares under general mandate or specific mandate. The Board considers that a share price of around HK$1.00 should be more favourable and attractive in the eyes of most of the institutional investors in the market and thus enhancing the feasibility of future equity fund raising activities of the Company for the purpose of such acquisition.
The Board also considers that upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will become an acceptable investment alternative for institutional investors and would in turn broaden the Company’s shareholder base and support the Company’s on-going and long term development and business expansion.
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Board also proposes to change the board lot size for trading from 10,000 Shares to 5,000 Consolidated Shares. The Board also considers that such change in the board lot size would offer the public a reasonable entry level to invest in the Consolidated Shares. Based on the closing price of the HK$0.035 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange at the Latest Practicable Date, the value for each existing board lot of 10,000 Shares was HK$350 and the value for each new board lot of 5,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$3,500. The Board considers that the change in the board lot size will maintain the trading value for each board lot at a reasonable level to attract investors.
In view of the above, the Board considers that the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Other than the relevant expenses, including but not limited to professional fees and printing charges incurred, the implementation of the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size will have no effect on the consolidated net asset value of the Group, nor will it alter the underlying assets, business, operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests of the Shareholders. The Directors believe that the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.

THE EGM
The EGM will be held for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the relevant ordinary resolution(s) in respect of the Share Consolidation. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.
The notice of the EGM of the Company is set out on pages 12 to 14 of this circular. If you do not intend to attend and vote at the EGM in person, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, on Level 22, 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 meeting or any adjournment thereof. The completion and delivery of a form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.
VOTING BY POLL
All the resolutions set out in the notice of the EGM would be decided by poll in accordance with the Listing Rules and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company. On a poll, every Shareholder present in person (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy shall have one vote for every fully paid Share held. A Shareholder present in person (or, in the case of a Shareholder being a corporation, by its duly authorised representative) or by proxy who is entitled to more than one vote need not use all his/its votes or cast all his/its votes in the same way. After the conclusion of the EGM, the poll results will be published on the website of the Stock Exchange at www. hkexnews.hk and the website of the Company at www.newsportsgp.com.
