PROPOSED ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES UNDER SPECIFIC MANDATE

On 29 June 2021 (after trading hours), the Company entered into a conditional Subscription Agreement with the Subscriber, pursuant to which the Subscriber has conditionally agreed to subscribe for and the Company has conditionally agreed to issue the Convertible Notes.

The subscription price of US$65,000,000 will be fully set off by the US$87,000,000 Existing Convertible Notes held by Chi Capital which shall fall due on 28 May 2025. The Conversion Price of HK$0.35 represents a premium of approximately 22.81% on the closing price of HK$0.285 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 29 June 2021, being the date of the Subscription Agreement.

On the assumption that the Convertible Notes would be converted into Conversion Shares in full at the Conversion Price, 1,444,857,142 Conversion Shares will be issued, representing approximately 412.76% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and approximately 80.50% of the issued share capital of the Company as to be enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares.

The transaction will benefit the Company in the following ways: 1) it will immediately reduce Company liability by US$22,000,000, a windfall to the Company and shareholders; 2) it will greatly enhance the probability for the Company convertible liability to be converted into share equity and do away the existing US$87,000,000 convertible ability entirely to avoid a potential default; 3) it will strengthen the Company’s balance sheet and allow the Company to engage in strategic and capital markets opportunities to significantly grow and expand its businesses while revamping as a significant operating concern.

In light of the fact that the Company is in business development stage and will require ample long term capital support, both the Company and the major shareholder Chi Capital have reached this debt reduction agreement today so as to avoid the default prospect of the Company and continue to support Company’s long term development.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, Chi Capital is a substantial Shareholder holding 44,569,268 Shares, represents approximately 12.73% of the issued share capital of the Company, which in turn is wholly-owned by Mr. Wong, the chief executive of the Group, an executive Director, and the chairman of the Board. As such, Chi Capital is a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Subscription constitute a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and are subject to announcement, reporting and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that Completion is subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set out in the Subscription Agreement. Each of the Subscription may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are therefore urged to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares and other securities of the Company.

Conversion Shares

Based on the Conversion Price of HK$0.35 per Conversion Share, a maximum number of 1,444,857,142 Conversion Shares will be allotted and issued upon exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Notes in full, which represent: (i) approximately 412.76% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 80.50% of the issued share capital of the Company as to be enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Notes in full.

Conversion Price

The Conversion Price of HK$0.35 per Share represents:

  • (i) a premium of approximately 22.81% to the closing price of HK$0.285 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 29 June 2021, being the date of the Subscription Agreement;

  • (ii) a premium of approximately 20.69% to the average closing price of HK$0.290 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days up to and including the date of the Subscription Agreement; and

  • (iii) a premium of approximately 19.25% to the average closing price of HK$0.294 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten trading days up to and including the date of the Subscription Agreement.

The Conversion Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber, taking into account of, among others, the recent trading performance of the Shares. The Directors consider that the Conversion Price and the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement and the Convertible Notes are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Hong Kong dollar equivalent to the principal amount of the Convertible Notes being converted shall be calculated by using the fixed exchange rate of HK$7.78 per US$1.00.

Mandate to issue the Conversion Shares

The Conversion Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the Specific Mandate to be sought from the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of Converged Mobile Multimedia Broadcasting and trading of printed circuit board materials. The Group is in the process of developing into a mobile multimedia service and technology provider, with a view of delivering low-cost and mass-market digital television and multimedia data services to mobile devices.

The large size Existing Convertible Notes liability (approximately seven(7) times of Company current market capitalization) and the exceedingly out-of-money Conversion Price (twenty-eight (28) times of current market spot price) are putting the Company in a real default prospect at Existing Convertible Notes maturity albeit it is in four years. This also hampers the Company’s ability to access the normal credit and capital markets to engage in significant business expansion and development, hence putting the Company in the vicious cycle of limited cash flow and limited operation. To resolve the situation, and in light of the fact that the Company is in business development stage and will require ample long term capital support, both the Company and the major shareholder Chi Capital have reached this debt reduction agreement today so as to avoid the default prospect of the Company and continue to support Company’s long term development. In particular: the Noteholder and the Company have agreed to fully set off and cancel the Existing Convertible Notes and replace it with a new issue to be fully subscribed by the Noteholder with the Conversion Price to be closed to the current market but the notional liability to be reduced by approximately 25.3% or US$22million, a huge saving and windfall for the Company and its shareholders. The lower Conversion Price plus three additional years of extension to original maturity from today will ensure high probability the Convertible Notes to be converted into equity and hence cutting away the Company debt completely. In addition, the Subscription will greatly improve the Company balance sheet and enable it to access fresh financial opportunities to expand and develop in scale and scope to be a significant operating concern.

Far out-of-money conversion price makes it unlikely the Existing Convertible Notes will be converted and hence putting the Company in real default risk

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing Convertible Notes aggregate outstanding principal amount is US$87,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$676,860,000) with maturity on 28 May 2025. This amount is about 677% of the Company’s current total market capitalization (HK$100million). The Existing Convertible Notes’ Conversion Price is HK$8.088, which represents almost a 2700% premium to the closing price of the Company’s stock HK$0.285 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 29 June 2021. Despite the maturity date of the Existing Convertible Notes is 28 May 2025, 4 years away, it is unrealistic to expect the Share price would rally 2700% and induce the Existing Convertible Notes to be converted.

Foreseeable company operating revenues not likely to support repayment

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020, the bank balances and cash of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 was approximately US$447,000, which is insufficient to redeem the Existing Convertible Notes at its original maturity date. For the past two years, the Company’s year-end cash balance hoovers between US$0.3 million to US$0.4 million. Such amount represents only a small fraction of the outstanding amount of the Existing Convertible Notes. Although the Company remains optimistic of its businesses and it is planning to grow its operations, as explained in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020, there is little prospect the Company can generate nearly enough cash flow to repay the Existing Convertible Notes.

— 8 —

External financing to settle the Existing Convertible Notes, including bank borrowings, capital markets, and rights issue are unrealistic

In respect of bank borrowings, given the Company’s profitability, cash flow, and financial position it is not likely to be able to access the normal banking credit or the debt capital markets for financing as it will probably not pass the necessary lending criteria risk assessment. It cannot demonstrate any meaningful cash flow support for a large scale financing needed for the Convertible Notes repayment. It is also impracticable for the Company to obtain financing from the debt capital markets on terms favourable to the Group in the absence of material assets as security, i.e., assets with significant income generating capability. Notwithstanding this, the Company did explore opportunities to seek for potential banking facility or bank loans and the Company has commenced to approach a number of financial institutions. However, the Company did not receive any positive response. It is also unlikely that such external financing, even possible, will be interest-free, like the Convertible Notes under Subscription.

In respect of equity financing such as large-scale rights issue and placement, taking into account of the financial performance of the Company, the small market capitalization and the thin liquidity of the Shares, there simply will be little interest from investors. Even if such exercises are possible, the subscription price would have to be set at a very large discount to the market price of the Shares in order to attract potential investors, and this which will be much more dilutive than the Subscription. Also, large-scale equity placements and rights issue are normally conducted on a best-effort basis, which provides little certainty as to the outcome, and the Company will need to undergo a much more complicated and longer process and at higher cost. For example, the Company will need to identify underwriter(s) and the placing agent and for the financial institutions to identify potential placees. The administrative costs involved will also be higher due to the need to issue prospectus and application forms and underwriting fee/placing commission would be incurred.

Large liability saddled on Company balance sheet with little repayment prospect hampers Company growth prospect

The Company’s large Existing Convertible Notes liability with a lack of repayment prospect has rendered the Company de facto financially undesirable and steered away potential investors, who are worried that any significant investment into the Company to generate new business and profitability will be drained away by the Existing Convertible Notes liability. Hence, the Company is effectively shut out from many capital market opportunities to grow and expand business in scale and scope.

Subscription will reduces the Company liabilities by US$22million and lowers Conversion Price to near market with maturity extension at zero interest coupon offers the most optimal solution to address the Company’s problem quickly

As part of the negotiation, the Noteholder has agreed to waive US$22million or approximately 25.3% of outstanding amount, hence reducing the liability of outstanding Convertible Notes from US$87million to US$65million. This haircut is equivalent to nearly 170% of Company’s current market capitalization, which represents a huge saving and windfall for the Company and its shareholders. This haircut will allow the Group to release debt pressure and allocate its resources in developing its business. In addition, the Subscription has lowered the new Conversion Price to near the current market share price, and extends three more years to the original maturity for a total of seven years after the Subscription, these altogether would ensure a very high probability for the new Convertible Notes to be entirely converted into equity, and if not, ample time for the Company to generate resources to repay the remaining unconverted Notes, which has been reduced by $22million after the Subscription. The zero coupon of the new Convertible Notes will also benefit the Company for paying no interest.

— 9 —

Based on the above, in particular that (i) the Group’s weak financial position such as its loss-making in recent years and is in net current liabilities position; (ii) the Group is not expected to have sufficient internal resources to redeem the Existing Convertible Notes upon maturity; (iii) the Subscription reduces the indebtedness of the Group and provides it with an extension of time to repay its indebtedness which has a high likelihood to be eliminated due to conversion into equity; (iv) any other re-financing alternative in the scale of the Existing Convertible Notes is unrealistic and will impose far more burden on the Group; and (v) the Subscription is the most cost-effective way of raising capital and can be executed with relatively higher certainty, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Convertible Notes are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and that the Subscription is the appropriate method to settle the Existing Convertible Notes held by the Noteholder.

The Convertible Notes bear similar salient features as the Existing Convertible Notes such as conversion restriction and essentially are an extension of the Existing Convertible Notes, except that the conversion price is adjusted to reflect the prevailing market price of the Shares.

  1. Chi Capital beneficially owns 44,569,268 Shares and US$87,000,000 Existing Convertible Notes. Chi Capital is beneficially owned by Mr. Wong. By virtue of the SFO, Mr. Wong are deemed to be interested in those Shares held by Chi Capital.

  2. This is for illustrative purpose only as there are restrictions under the terms of the Convertible Notes that prohibit any conversion which will trigger a mandatory offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code or will cause the public float of the Shares to be less than 25% (or any given percentage under the Listing Rules).
