Further details regarding the Share Consolidation will be set out in the circular of the Company containing the notice of EGM.
ARRANGEMENT ON ODD LOT TRADING
The Consolidated Shares will be continued to be traded in board lots of 10,000 Consolidated Shares. In order to alleviate the difficulties arising from the existence of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares, the Company has agreed to procure a designated broker to arrange for the matching of the sales and purchases of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares. Details of the colour of the new share certificates and odd lots arrangements will be provided in the circular of the Company containing the notice of EGM.
REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The proposed Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares and reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. As such, the transaction and handling costs of the Company in relation to the dealing in the Consolidated Shares are expected to be reduced, which will be beneficial to the Company. Moreover, as the market value of each board lot upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective will be higher than the market value of each existing board lot, the transaction cost as a proportion of the market value of each board lot will be lower. It is expected that the liquidity in trading of the shares of the Company will increase accordingly and the market value of the shares of the Company will be more precisely reflect the intrinsic value of the Company. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation is beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders.
Save for the necessary professional expenses for the implementation of the Share Consolidation, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operation, management or financial position of the Company and the interests and rights of the Shareholders.
CHANGE OF CERTIFICATE FOR CONSOLIDATED SHARES
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be 11 November 2011, being the business day immediately after the date of the EGM, the Shareholders may on or after 11 November 2011 and until 19 December 2011 (both days inclusive), submit their share certificates for the Shares held by them to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong in exchange for the new share certificates for Consolidated Shares at the expense of the Company. Thereafter, the share certificates 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 specified by the Stock Exchange) for each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares or each share certificate for the Shares submitted for cancellation, whichever the number of certificates issued or cancelled is higher. Nevertheless, the share certificates for the Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares at any time but are not acceptable for trading, settlement and registration purpose upon the Share Consolidation becomes effective.
