1. Confident of its future prospect, the Company is conducting rights issue for fund-raising while giving priority to existing shareholders to participate in the Company’s potential upside.
- The Company’s rights issue is to raise money for its business development in China. Engaging the rights issue as opposed to other types of fund-raising exercise is because the Company feels that its current stock price is exceeding low and undervalued by market and therefore when comes to fundraising current shareholders should be given the priority to subscribe the shares and participate in the Company’s good prospect. The Company has arranged Chi Capital Holdings Ltd as the Underwriter along with Crosby Capital (HK) Limited, Diamond Head Financial Advisors, LLC, Mega Wealth Group Ltd and others as sub-underwriters for the rights issue.
2. Joint venture agreement solidified collaboration with State media to develop China platform and commence operation in the near future.
- With the signing of the GMG-CMMB joint venture agreement (see the Company’s announcement dated 29 January 2016), the Company has solidified an operating partnership with a State-level media, which allows the Company to combine its satellite resources with the State media’s operating capacity, regulatory franchise, nationwide network, and global presence to service to China and One-Belt-One-Road countries. Operation is expected to commence soon.
3. Launching satellite trial services in China and Hong Kong with Hong Kong as the regional hub to transplant services to “One-Belt-One-Road” Asian countries.
