CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

SHINEWING has confirmed that there were no matters connected with the resignation that needed to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders. The Board also confirms that there is no disagreement between the Company and SHINEWING and there are no matters concerning the resignation of SHINEWING that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.
