Date: 4 October 2012

Parties: The Company and the Placing Agent

Number of Placing Shares to be placed:

Up to 63,000,000 Shares, representing (i) approximately 10.92% of the Company’s existing issued share capital of 576,938,145 Shares and (ii) about 9.84% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Placing Shares.

Placing agent: Heng Shan Securities Limited

The Placing Agent and its ultimate beneficial owners are independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules).

The Placing Agent will be entitled to receive a placing commission of 3% on the aggregate Placing Price of the Placing Shares actually placed by the Placing Agent under the Placing Agreement, which was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Placing Agent.

Placees

The Placing Agent agreed to place the Placing Shares, on a best effort basis, to not less than six Placees who will not be connected with or acting in concert with any of the directors, substantial shareholders and chief executive of the Company, or any of its subsidiaries and their respective associates or any parties acting in concert with any of them.

Placing Price:

HK$0.20 per Share, representing a discount of approximately 0.99% to the closing price of HK$0.202 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 4 October 2012, and a discount of approximately 0.30% to the average closing price of HK$0.2006 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days ended on and including 3 October 2012.

The Placing Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent on the date of the Placing Agreement with reference to the prevailing market price of the Shares.

Ranking of the Placing Shares

Conditions of the Placing

Completion is conditional upon (i) the Stock Exchange having granted the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares and (ii) each of the Company and the Placing Agent having obtained all necessary consents and approvals in relation to the Placing from the relevant authorities, if applicable.

If any of the above condition cannot be fulfilled on or before three months from 4 October 2012 (or such later date as the Company and the Placing Agent may agree), the Placing Agreement shall cease and determine and none of the parties to the Placing Agreement shall have any claim against any other party in respect of the Placing.

  • (c) there is any material change (whether or not forming part of a series of changes) in market conditions which in the reasonable opinion of the Placing Agent would materially and prejudicially affect the Placing or makes it inadvisable or inexpedient for the Placing to proceed; or

  • (d) any statement contained in this announcement has become or been discovered to be untrue, incorrect or misleading in any material respect which in the opinion of the Placing Agent would be materially adverse in the consummation of the Placing.

The Company may, in its reasonable opinion, after consultation with the Placing Agent, terminate the Placing Agreement by notice in writing to the Placing Agent at any time up to 8:00 a.m. on the Completion Date if there is a breach of the warranties, representations and undertakings given by the Placing Agent in the Placing Agreement and such breach is considered by the Company on reasonable grounds to be material.

Upon termination of the Placing Agreement as stated above, all liabilities of the parties hereto hereunder shall cease and determine and no party hereto shall have any claim against the other party in respect of any matter or thing arising out of or in connection with the Placing Agreement save in respect of any antecedent breach of any obligation under the Placing Agreement.

Mandate to issue the Placing Shares:

The Placing Shares will be issued pursuant to the General Mandate granted to the Directors at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 6 September 2012. The Directors were authorised to allot and issue up to 63,387,629 Shares pursuant to the General Mandate. Up to the date of this announcement, the Directors have not issued any Shares under the General Mandate. Accordingly, the issue of the Placing Shares is not subject to any approval by the shareholders of the Company.

The Company will apply to the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in the Placing Shares.

REASONS OF THE PLACING

Assuming 63,000,000 Placing Shares are placed by the Placing Agent, the gross proceeds and net proceeds from the Placing to be received by the Company will be HK$12.6 million and approximately HK$11.8 million respectively. On such basis, the net price to the Company of each Placing Share is approximately HK$0.19. The Directors consider various ways of raising funds and consider that the Placing represents an opportunity to enlarge the equity base of the Company. The Directors intend to utilise the net proceeds from the Placing to finance future investments and/or for future business development and/or as general working capital.

The Directors consider that the terms of the Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable based on the current market conditions and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
