To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED SHARE SUBDIVISION AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 12 September 2018 in relation to the Share Subdivision. On 12 September 2018, the Board announced the proposal to implement the proposed Share Subdivision whereby every one (1) existing issued and unissued Share of par value of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company will be subdivided into three (3) Subdivided Shares of par value of one third Hong Kong cent each.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you (i) details of the Share Subdivision; and (ii) a notice convening the SGM.
PROPOSED SHARE SUBDIVISION
The Board proposes to implement the proposed Share Subdivision whereby every one (1) existing issued and unissued Share of par value of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company will be subdivided into three (3) Subdivided Shares of par value of one third Hong Kong cent each.
5
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Conditions of the Share Subdivision
The Share Subdivision is conditional upon:
-
(i) the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the Share Subdivision by the Shareholders at the SGM;
-
(ii) the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares; and
-
(iii) the compliance with the relevant legal procedures and requirements under the laws of Bermuda to implement the Share Subdivision.
The Share Subdivision will become effective after the conditions of the Share Subdivision above are fulfilled.
Listing application
An application has been made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in the Subdivided Shares.
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 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.
Save for the US$30,000,000 10.0 per cent bonds due 2019 trading on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited announced on 31 August 2018, no part of the share capital or any other securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange or on which listing or permission to deal in is being or is proposed to be sought.
Effect of the Share Subdivision
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$300,000,000 divided into 30,000,000,000 Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each, of which 2,637,133,985 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 SGM, immediately after the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$300,000,000 divided into 90,000,000,000 Shares of par value of one third Hong Kong cent each, of which 7,911,401,955 Subdivided Shares of par value of one third Hong Kong cent each will be in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid following the Share Subdivision becoming effective.
6
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, all Subdivided Shares will rank pari passu with each other in all respects with the Shares in issue prior to the Share Subdivision and the rights attaching to the Subdivided Shares will not be affected by the Share Subdivision.
Board lot size
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Shares are traded in board lots 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 unchanged with 2,000 Subdivided Shares for each board lot. The Share Subdivision is not expected to result in any odd lots other than those that already exist.
Free exchange of share certificates and trading arrangement
Subject to the Share Subdivision becoming effective, which is expected to be on Monday, 22 October 2018, Shareholders may, during the period from Monday, 22 October 2018 to Tuesday, 27 November 2018 (both days inclusive) between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on any Business Day, submit Existing Share Certificates in light blue to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Abacus Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for New Share Certificates of the Subdivided Shares in light green. After the expiry of such period, each Existing Share Certificate will be accepted for exchange only on a 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 for the Subdivided Shares or each Existing Share Certificate submitted for cancellation, whichever the number of share certificates issued or cancelled is higher.
The Existing Share Certificates will only be valid for delivery, trading, settlement and registration purposes for the period up to 4:10 p.m. on Friday, 23 November 2018, and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading, settlement and registration purposes. However, the Existing Share Certificates will continue to be good evidence of title to the Subdivided Shares on the basis of one (1) Share for three (3) Subdivided Shares.
It is expected that the new share certificates will be available for collection within a period of ten (10) Business Days after the submission of the Existing Share Certificates to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong for exchange.
Securities convertible or exchangeable into Shares
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has 63,025,981 outstanding Share Options granted under the Share Option Schemes. Under the relevant terms and conditions of the Share Option Schemes, the Share Subdivision may lead to adjustments to 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 adjustments as and when appropriate.
Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any options outstanding under any share option scheme of the Company or any other derivatives, options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into Shares.
7
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR THE SHARE SUBDIVISION
Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the par value of each Share of the Company will decrease and the total number of shares of the Company in issue will increase. As a result, the Share Subdivision is expected to reduce the trading price of each Share in the Company correspondingly which would appeal to more investors. Based on the closing price of HK$4.96 per Share as at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the market value per board lot of 2,000 Shares is HK$9,920; and (ii) the value of each board lot of 2,000 Subdivided Shares, with a theoretical adjusted price of approximately HK$1.6533 per Subdivided Share assuming the Share Subdivision had already become effective, would be approximately HK$3,306. As the Share Subdivision will reduce the minimum purchase price of each board lot of Shares, the Board believes that the Share Subdivision will improve the liquidity in trading of the Shares in the Company and thereby widen its Shareholder base.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors confirm that the Company (i) has no any agreement, arrangement, understanding, intention, negotiation (concluded or otherwise) on any potential equity fund raising activities; and (ii) has no intention to carry out other corporate action which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Subdivision in the coming twelve (12) months. Nevertheless, the Company does not obviate the possibility of conducting equity fund raising activities in the future to finance its business development and expansion as and when necessary.
Save for the expenses incurred by the Company in implementing the Share Subdivision, the Share Subdivision will have no material 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 Subdivision will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.
In view of the above, the Board considers that the Share Subdivision is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
SGM
A notice convening the SGM to be held at Empire Room 1, 1st Floor, Empire Hotel Hong Kong • Wanchai, 33 Hennessy Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong, at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, 19 October 2018 is set out on pages 10 to 11 of this circular.
A form of proxy for use by the Shareholders at the SGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at the SGM in person, please complete and return the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Abacus Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the meeting or any adjourned meeting if you so wish.
In compliance with the Listing Rules, the ordinary resolution will be voted on by way of a poll at the SGM. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution to approve the Share Subdivision at the SGM.
