TERMINATION OF UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT IN RELATION TO OPEN OFFER
Reference is made to the announcements (the “ Announcements ”) of Tai Shing International (Holdings) Limited (the “ Company ”) dated 17 June 2015, 14 July 2015, 12 August 2015 and 24 September 2015 in relation to the Open Offer. Terms used herein shall have the same meanings as defined in the Announcements unless the context requires otherwise.
Taking into account the general market volatility and the share price performance of the Company, the Company considers it is not reasonable to continue the Open Offer as the offer price is substantially higher than the Company’s current share price. As a result, the Company and the Underwriter have agreed to terminate the Underwriting Agreement on 29 October 2015 by mutual consent and neither party shall have any claim against the other in relation to the Underwriting Agreement. The Company considers the termination is fair and reasonable and is of the interest of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
The Company is in the process of discussing with the Underwriter as well as other financial institutions an appropriate price and structure for conducting another open offer and/or raising capital through other means, and will inform the market and Shareholders promptly once a conclusion has been made.
In relation to the impact on Company as a result of the termination of the Underwriting Agreement, the opportunity for the Company to improve its net position of the balance sheet has lapsed at least at this moment and the Company would have HK$45.8 million less to spend on investments and expansion of proprietary trading business, money lending business, repayment of debt and general working capital.
Having said the above, after considering the Company’s internal financing resources, the Board is of the view that the Company is able to meet its coming financial obligations and working capital requirement. Furthermore, despite the termination of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company maintains its normal

business operations as usual, and there is no material adverse impact on the business operations of the Company caused by the termination of the Underwriting Agreement.
