To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED SHARE SUBDIVISION
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 23 March 2016 in relation to the proposed Share Subdivision.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further details in relation to the proposed Share Subdivision and to give you the notice of the EGM to be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the proposed Share Subdivision.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED SHARE SUBDIVISION
The Board proposes to subdivide each existing issued and unissued Share of HK$0.01 in the share capital of the Company into five (5) Subdivided Shares of HK$0.002 each.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$20,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 1,200,000,000 Shares had been issued and were fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$20,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Subdivided Shares, of which 6,000,000,000 Subdivided Shares will be in issue, assuming that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the Share Subdivision becoming effective.
All Subdivided Shares will rank pari passu with each other in all respects and the Share Subdivision will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had an outstanding Convertible Bond in the principal amount of HK$24,000,000 issued to Mega Start, the Substantial Shareholder, which was convertible into a total of 80,000,000 Shares based on the initial conversion price of HK$0.30 per Share (subject to adjustment).
According to the terms of the Convertible Bond, the Share Subdivision may lead to an adjustment to the initial conversion price and the number of Shares to be converted under the Convertible Bond. The Company will appoint its auditor to certify in writing the adjustments to the Convertible Bond and that such adjustments are in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bond. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in relation thereof as and when appropriate.
Save for the Convertible Bond, the Company did not have any other derivative, option, warrant and conversion right or other similar right which are convertible or exchangeable into Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.
BOARD LOT SIZE
The Shares are currently traded in the board lot size of 2,000 Shares. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the board lot size of the Subdivided Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange will remain as 2,000 Subdivided Shares.
Based on the closing price of HK$8.74 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the board lot value was HK$17,480 with the current board lot size of 2,000 Shares. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the board lot value will be HK$3,496 with the board lot size of 2,000 Subdivided Shares (calculated based on the closing price of the Shares at the Latest Practicable Date and adjusted for the effect of the Share Subdivision).
It is expected that the Share Subdivision will not result in any odd lot of the Shares other than those already exist, and therefore no odd lot arrangement for matching the sales and purchases of odd lots will be made.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
CONDITIONS OF THE SHARE SUBDIVISION
The Share Subdivision is conditional upon:
-
(i) the passing by the Shareholders at the EGM of an ordinary resolution approving the Share Subdivision; and
-
(ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares.
The Share Subdivision will become effective on the next Business Day immediately following the fulfilment of the above conditions, which is expected to be Tuesday, 3 May 2016.
LISTING AND DEALINGS
An application has been made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Subdivided 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 Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as may be 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.
No part of the equity or debt securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchanges other than the Stock Exchange and no such listing or permission to deal in is being or is currently proposed to be sought on any other stock exchanges other than the Stock Exchange.
FREE EXCHANGE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES
The existing share certificates for the Shares will only be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes for the period up to 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 6 June 2016 and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. However, the existing share certificates will continue to be good evidence of legal title to the Subdivided Shares on the basis of one (1) existing Share for five (5) Subdivided Shares.
Subject to the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the Shareholders can submit their existing share certificates for the Shares (which are yellow in colour) to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited, at Suites 3301–04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong, in exchange for new share certificates for the Subdivided Shares (which will be pink in colour) free of charge between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on any Business Day from Tuesday, 3 May 2016 to Wednesday, 8 June 2016 (both dates inclusive). After the expiry of such period, existing share certificates for the Shares 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) for each new share certificate issued or each existing share certificate cancelled, whichever number of share
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
certificates involved is higher. It is expected that the new share certificates for the Subdivided Shares will be available for collection within 10 Business Days after the submission of the existing share certificates for the Shares to Union Registrars Limited for exchange.
TRADING ARRANGEMENT
Subject to the Share Subdivision becoming effective, dealings in the Subdivided Shares are expected to commence on Tuesday, 3 May 2016. Parallel trading in the Shares and the Subdivided Shares (in the form of existing share certificates and new share certificates) will be operated from Tuesday, 17 May 2016 to Monday, 6 June 2016 (both days inclusive). Further details of the expected timetable and trading arrangement of the Subdivided Shares are set out on pages 1 and 2 of this circular.
REASONS FOR THE SHARE SUBDIVISION
Upon the proposed Share Subdivision becoming effective, the nominal value of each Share will decrease and the total number of shares of the Company in issue will increase. The Share Subdivision will result in a downward adjustment of the trading price of the Shares. The Board is of the view that the Share Subdivision will reduce the trading spread and improve the liquidity in trading of the Subdivided Shares, thereby enabling the Company to attract more investors and broaden the Shareholders’ base. The Board confirmed that there was no plan or negotiation of any fund raising exercise for the Group as at the Latest Practicable Date.
Other than the expenses to be incurred (including printing charges and professional fees) in relation to the Share Subdivision, the implementation thereof will not alter or affect the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Group or the shareholdings, rights and interests of the Shareholders. The Board considers that the Share Subdivision is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
EGM
The EGM will be convened and held at 2/F, Alliance Building, 130–136 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong on Friday, 29 April 2016 at 11:00 a.m. for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the proposed Share Subdivision.
The ordinary resolution proposed to be approved at the EGM will be taken by poll. As no Shareholder has a material interest in the Share Subdivision which is different from that of the other Shareholders, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the EGM to approve the Share Subdivision.
A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages EGM-1 to EGM-2 of this circular. A form of proxy is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited at Suites 3301–04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof, should you so wish.
