The Group plans to apply the proceeds from the Rights Issue for the major capital expenditure for the deployment in China with details as set out in the prospectus of the Company dated 23 March 2016.

PROSPECTS
The Group is developing to be a leading next generation mobile multimedia service provider. It addresses the rapidly growing demand for mobile and wireless video and internet content downloads with a very low cost and efficient solution based on the China-developed CMMB multicast technology. Consumers with untethered CMMB-enabled devices such as handsets, netbooks, MP4s, dongles, GPS, and LED panels can receive virtually unlimited and instant mobile video and Internet downloads anytime anywhere deliverable through a ubiquitous terrestrial and satellite network.
Developed by the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film, and Television of the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) with collaboration from the United States of America, CMMB is one of the most advanced digital broadcasting (multicast) technologies invented in the 21 Century that enables mobile television (“TV”) delivery and data delivery through Internet by the Internet Protocol (“IP data”). It is Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (“OFDM”) based, and can readily interact with other OFDM technologies such as third generation mobile technology 3G, fourth generation mobile technology (“4G”) based on Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers standards 802.16(e) (“WiMax”) and 4G Long Term Evolution (“4G LTE”). The key feature of CMMB is that it can deliver streaming live mobile video and push-IP data in a massive quantity and instant speed simultaneously to an unlimited number of mobile users anytime anywhere at very low cost. CMMB has been widely deployed over 330 Chinese cities with the support of world’s largest mobile network and supply-chain ecosystem.
The Group’s main business will apply the CMMB technology to address the growing bottleneck caused by video and Internet data content distribution, which can no longer be accommodated by the conventional unicast – based mobile communication technologies. In China, its goal is to become a leading CMMB service provider. Globally, its goal is to promote and develop CMMB by deploying and operating CMMB-based networks and services in different countries and create a global multimedia franchise.
PURCHASE, SALE OR REDEMPTION OF THE COMPANY’S LISTED SECURITIES
During the Period, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries purchased, sold or redeemed any of the Company’s listed securities.
18
MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS BY DIRECTORS
During the Period, the Company has adopted a code of conduct regarding the Directors’ securities transactions on terms no less exacting than the required standard set out in the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers (“Model Code”) as set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules. The Company has made specific enquiry of all Directors regarding any non-compliance with the Model Code throughout the Period and all the Directors confirmed that they have fully complied with the required standard set out in the Model Code during the Period.
CODE ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
The Company has adopted the code provisions set out in the Code on Corporate Governance Practices (“CG Code”) contained in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules. The Board will continuously review and improve the corporate governance practices and standards of the Company to ensure that business activities and decision making processes are regulated in a proper and prudent manner.
During the Period, the Company has fully complied with the requirements under the CG Code, except for the deviation from Code Provision A.2.1 of the CG Code . The Company had been deviated from the Code Provision A.2.1 of CG Code, as the roles of chairman and chief executive officer of the Company were not separate. With effect on 19 May 2008, Mr. Wong Chau Chi (“Mr. Wong”) had been re-designated as the chairman of the Company and Mr. Wong also remains as the chief executive officer of the Company. According to the Code Provision A.2.1 of the CG Code, the roles of a chairman and a chief executive officer should be separate and should not be performed by the same individual. Given Mr. Wong has had extensive experience in the business of the Group and has performed satisfactorily since his joining of the Company in year 2007, particularly in soliciting for possible new business opportunities and deducing the overall strategic plan for the future development of the Company, the Board considers that it would benefit the Group if Mr. Wong is also in charge of overseeing the Company’s operations as its chairman. The Board considers that this structure will not impair the balance of power and authority between the Board and the management of the Group. The Board will regularly review the effectiveness of this arrangement.
19
