PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE EGM

In view of the ongoing development of coronavirus epidemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread by the Hong Kong government, the Company strongly encourages Shareholders not to attend the EGM in person and the Company strongly recommends Shareholders to exercise their voting rights by appointing the Chairman of the EGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution(s) at the EGM as an alternative to attending the EGM in person. Shareholders are reminded that physical attendance at the EGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising the voting rights. Shareholders who choose to appoint a proxy should take action as soon as possible to ensure the proxy instructions reach our share registrar not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for holding the EGM.

Taking into consideration the guidelines issued by the Hong Kong government and the Joint Statement dated 1 April 2020 made by the SFC and the Stock Exchange in relation to General Meetings in light of the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation (Cap. 599G), the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the EGM to protect attending Shareholders from the risk of infection:

  • compulsory body temperature check will be conducted for every Shareholder or proxy at the entrance of the venue and anyone with abnormal body temperature may be denied entry into the venue;

  • every Shareholder or proxy is required to put on surgical face masks during their attendance of the EGM; and

  • no distribution of corporate gifts and no refreshment.

Shareholders are in any event asked (a) to consider carefully the risk of attending the EGM, which will be held in an enclosed environment; (b) to follow any requirements or guidelines of the Hong Kong government relating to COVID-19 in deciding whether or not to attend the EGM; and (c) not to attend the EGM if they have contracted or are suspected to have contracted COVID-19 or have been in close contact with anybody who has contracted or is suspected to have contracted COVID-19.

  • (ii) the provisions of this sub-paragraph (c) shall not apply in relation to the issue of Shares paid out of profits or reserves and issued in lieu of a cash dividend.

(f) shares issues at less than market price for cash:

If and whenever the Company shall issue wholly for cash any Shares at a price per share which is less than 90 per cent. of the market price at the date of the announcement of the terms of such issue, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before the date of such announcement by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of Shares in issue immediately before the date of such announcement plus the number of Shares which the aggregate amount payable for the issue would purchase at such market price and the denominator is the number of Shares in issue immediately before the date of such announcement plus the number of Shares so issued. Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of the issue.

– 16 –

(g) share dividends

In the event that the Company makes a dividend or other distribution in Shares to holders of Shares, the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to such dividend or distribution by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Shares in issue at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator of which is such number of Shares plus the total number of Shares constituting such dividend or other distribution, such decrease in the Conversion Price to become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such determination.

  • (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 Company has considered the trading performance of the Shares for the past two months immediately before the entering into of the Subscription Agreement. The minimum closing price per Share for the two months immediately before the date of the Subscription Agreement was HK$0.290 per Share and the average closing price per Share for the two months immediately before the date of the Subscription Agreement was approximately HK$0.315 per Share. Accordingly, the Board considers that it would be appropriate to determine the Conversion Price with reference to the prevailing market prices of the Shares, which reflect the fair market value of the Shares traded on the Stock Exchange. In order to protect the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, the Board insisted to set the Conversion Price at a high premium (instead of at a discount to the closing prices of the Shares) which is a common practice for listed issuers in Hong Kong. As such, the Directors consider that the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable having considered 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given that the Conversion Price is set at a premium, there is no value dilution to the existing public Shareholder under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules.

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$22 million, 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 the subscription date will ensure high probability the Convertible Notes to be converted into equity and hence reduce the Company debt. 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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$100 million). 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.

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. Since early 2020, the Company had approached not less than 5 financial institutions to explore available financing options. However, due to limited scale of operation and cashflow generated, it would not support any sizeable re-financing option for the purpose of repayment of Existing Convertible Notes. It is also unlikely that such external financing, even possible, will be interest-free, like the Convertible Notes under Subscription.

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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. The Company had completed a rights issue in February 2020, but only approximately 40% of total number of rights shares available for subscription under the right issue was subscripted, amounted to approximately US$3million. For scale that large enough to repay of Convertible Note, deep discount are expected in order to attract enough interest from investors and hence a far more serious dilution to existing shareholders. 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. There will be immediate dilutive effect and excessive market volatility on both rights issue or share placement will cause new shares to be issued to new investors immediately, which will have immediate dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the non-participating Shareholders. In addition, large volume of new shares flooding the market all at once will cause erratic market volatility of share price.

However, the Subscription will not result in immediate dilution effect on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders in comparison with all external financing method discussed above. The conversion price of the proposed Convertible Notes is HK$0.35, which is at 30%-40% premium of current Company share market price, such a price is far less dilutive to existing shareholders than other alternatives. In the same token, it will also cause less volatility to share market price as share conversion is expected to be gradual and over time. In the event the Subscriber choose to convert the Convertible Notes into new Shares, despite a dilution to the existing Shareholders in terms of their percentage shareholding in the Company, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Convertible Notes are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

As such, the Company currently does not have any plan or intention for any potential fundraising activities in the coming twelve months.

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. The Existing Convertible Notes has a high conversion price, which makes conversion prospect very unrealistic, and the Company is stuck with the large liability

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

with potential default. which also hampers willingness and confidence of prospective strategic investors in developing business opportunities with the Company. The Convertible Notes has an immediate cut of 25.3% or US$22 million from Company’s existing liabilities and improvement of its balance sheet and financial prospect. The lower conversion price with longer tenor of the Convertible Notes will convey optimism to the market the Company has a high chance of eliminating or significantly its debt. Such progress will embolden confidence of potential investors and strategic partners to support Company’s business expansion and new development, as the Company now has a tangible and credible path to de-risking, and new investment activities undertake by the Company will have a much higher probability go toward generating return for investors and not repayment.

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.

The Subscriber while cannot convert more than 30% of the shares, it can trade, sell, or assign the Convertible Notes to other potential investors and strategic partners who in turn can convert into equity, hence Company indebtedness will be reduced accordingly. The Convertible Notes will appear to be a much more desirable investment securities compared to the Existing Convertible Notes.

The equity base of the Company over years is expected to enlarge through issue of Shares under the annual general mandate and exercise of stock option, as it has done so over the past years, although the Company currently does not have any plan for the issue of Shares under the annual general mandate. And depending on business need, the Company may also conduct right issue exercise to raise capital, which will further enlarge the Company’s equity base. Enlarged capital base will turn allow the Subscriber and potential Convertible Notes investors to convert more into shares at a given time, hence further reducing Company’s indebtedness.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Group recorded revenue for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 in the amount of approximately US$3.88 million, representing a decrease of approximately 45.81% as compared to that for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 in the amount of approximately US$7.15 million. As advised by the Company, the decrease in revenue was mainly due to, among others, temporary shutdown of TV stations as a result of repack and upgrade of TV stations and such upgrading work had delayed by outbreak of COVID-19 that resulted in the decrease in television rental income and trading of printed circuit board materials by approximately US$2.30 million and approximately US$1.21 million respectively.

The Group’s loss attributable to the Shareholders for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 was approximately US$127.70 million, representing an increase of approximately 349.58% as compared to that for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 in the amount of approximately US$28.40 million. The increase in loss was mainly due to, among others, that the Group shared a loss of approximately US$99.45 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2020, as compared to that for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 in the amount of approximately US$8.68 million for its 20% interest in Silkwave Holding Limited (‘‘Silkwave’’, together with its subsidiaries, ‘‘Silkwave Group’’), due to the delay of regulatory approval for Silkwave Group to deploy commercial services in the PRC and the prolonged fund-raising for constructing new satellite for mass-market commercial rollout due to COVID-19.

The Group’s audited total assets as at 31 December 2020 amounted to approximately US$185.61 million, including but not limited to, intangible assets in the amount of approximately US$54.72 million, interest in an associate in the amount of approximately US$124.87 million and amount due from a related company in the amount of approximately US$2.21 million. The Group’s audited net asset value attributable to the Shareholders amounted to approximately US$106.10 million as at 31 December 2020, representing a decrease of approximately 53.37% as compared to the amount of approximately US$227.55 million as at 31 December 2019 which was mainly derived from the operation loss for the year.

As advised by the Company, the increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in rental charge and slight increase in the sales volume of our trading business that result in an increase in television rental income and trading of printed circuit board materials by approximately US$0.40 million and approximately US$0.28 million respectively.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Group recorded a loss attributable to the Shareholders for the financial year ended 31 December 2019 in the amount of approximately US$28.40 million, representing a turnaround from profit to loss as compared to the profit attributable to the Shareholders for the financial year ended 31 December 2018 of approximately US$24.81 million. The turnaround from profit to loss was mainly attributable to the sharing of a loss of approximately US$8.68 million for its 20% interest in Silkwave, for the financial year ended 31 December 2019, as compared to the loss in the amount of approximately US$5.37 million for the period from 29 May 2018 to 31 December 2018. We were given to understand that the loss primarily comprised of depreciation and amortization expense, research and development and other operating expenses for the year.

The Group’s audited total assets as at 31 December 2019 amounted to approximately US$316.06 million, including but not limited to, intangible assets in the amount of approximately US$80.56 million, interest in an associate in the amount of approximately US$224.30 million and amount due from a related company in the amount of approximately HK$6.66 million. The Group’s audited net asset value attributable to the Shareholders amounted to approximately HK$227.55 million as at 31 December 2019, representing a decrease of approximately 12.26% as compared to the amount of approximately HK$259.36 million as at 31 December 2018 which was mainly derived from the operation loss for the year.

We note that the Group has turned from profit making to loss making since the financial year ended 31 December 2019 and the net loss has further increased during the financial year ended 31 December 2020. The net asset value attributable to the Shareholders has also been in a decreasing trend and as at 31 December 2020, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current asset by approximately US$3.1 million. In light of the above, we are of the view that the Group’s financial position is not optimal.

2. Reasons for and benefits of the entering of the Subscription Agreement

As stated in the Board Letter, 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, the Noteholder and the Company have agreed to fully set off and cancel the Existing Convertible Notes and replace it with a new issue Convertible Note 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

– 37 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

approximately 25.3% or US$22.0 million. The lower Conversion Price plus three additional years of extension to original maturity from the subscription date will ensure higher probability the Convertible Notes to be converted into equity and hence reduce the company debt. 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.

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$100 million). The Existing Convertible Notes’ Conversion Price is HK$8.088, which represents almost a 2700% premium to the closing price of 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 Convertible Notes to be converted.

As discussed under the section headed ‘‘1. Information of the Group’’ above, the Group recorded net losses for the two financial years ended 31 December 2019 and 2020 and as at 31 December 2020, the Group’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately US$3.1 million. With reference to the Company’s annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2020, the Group’s cash and cash equivalents amounted to approximately US$447,000 as at 31 December 2020, which without additional cash generation, is expected to be insufficient to redeem the Existing Convertible Notes at its original maturity date. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Convertible Notes in the principal amount of US$65,000,000 shall be in exchange for the indebtedness under the Existing Convertible Notes held by Chi Capital in the outstanding principal amount of US$87,000,000, representing a cut in debt by 25.29% or US$22,000,000 (the ‘‘Debt Cut’’). Given the net current liabilities financial position of the Group, the Debt Cut will allow the Group to release partial of its debt and allocate its resources in developing its business, namely the CMMB Business and the Trading Business. Accordingly, we are of the view that the Debt Cut is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Moreover, the maturity date of the Convertible Notes shall be on the seventh anniversary of the date of the Subscription Agreement, representing an extension of maturity for additional three years as compared to the maturity date of the Existing Convertible Notes which is on 28 May 2025. Having considered the above financial situation of the Company, we concur with the Director’s view that the reduce in debt will improve the Group’s financial position and provides the Group with an extension of time to repay its indebtedness.

We were given to understand that the Directors have been undertaking a number of measures to improve the Group’s liquidity and financial position, with an ultimate goal to refinance business operations and restructure its debts. As advised by the management of the Group, the Company has considered other alternative financing methods, including other debt financing and equity financing.

The Directors are of the view that the ability of the Group to obtain bank borrowings usually depends on the Group’s profitability and financial position as well as the prevailing market condition and may be subject to lengthy due diligence and internal risk assessment by and negotiations with financial institutions. In addition, any debt financing in the scale the Convertible Notes will impose further debt burden on the Group. Given the Group’s current financial position and loss-making record in recent years, the Directors consider that it is impracticable to obtain third party financing on terms favourable to the Group in the absence of material assets as security.

In comparing to equity financing, taking into account of the financial performance of the Group for the recent financial years and the thin liquidity of the Shares, if the Company were to raise the necessary funds by way of placing or rights issue or open offer of new Shares, the subscription price would have to be set at a deeper discount to the market price of the Shares in order to attract potential investors while such equity financing methods will result in a bigger dilution for the existing Shareholders. In addition, equity placements are normally conducted on best-effort basis which provides little certainty as to the outcome.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Having considered the above alternatives, the Directors are of the view that the Subscription is the most cost-effective way of raising capital in order to settle the indebtedness of the Group. The Group has reached out and engaged in negotiations with the Noteholders to settle the existing indebtedness of the Group. Notwithstanding that the Subscription is subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders, the implementation of which is not susceptible to short-term market uncertainties and it can be executed with relatively higher certainty on the outcome of the fund-raising as compared to other fund-raising alternatives such as rights issue or open offer.

Based on the above, we considered in particular that (i) the Group had been loss-making in recent years and is in net current liabilities position; (ii) the Existing Convertible Notes will become mature on 28 May 2025 and it is not expected that the Company would have sufficient internal resources to redeem all the Existing Convertible Notes upon maturity; (iii) the Subscription reduces the indebtedness of the Group provides the Group with an extension of time to repay its indebtedness; (iv) any debt financing in the scale the Convertible Notes will impose further debt burden on the Group and it is impracticable to obtain third party financing on terms favourable to the Group in the absence of material assets as security; (v) the Subscription is a cost-effective way of raising capital and can be executed with relatively higher certainty on the outcome of the fund-raising as compared to other fund-raising alternatives such as rights issue or open offer; and (vi) the Company currently does not have any plan or intention for any potential fundraising activities in the coming 12 months as stated in the Board Letter, we concur with the Directors’ view that the Subscription Agreement is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the entering into of the Subscription Agreement is in the interests of the Company and Independent Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As stated in the Board Letter, 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 Company has considered the trading performance of the Shares for the past two months immediately before the entering into of the Subscription Agreement. The minimum closing price per Share for the two months immediately before the date of the Subscription Agreement was HK$0.290 per Share and the average closing price per Share for the two months immediately before the date of the Subscription Agreement was approximately HK$0.315 per Share. Accordingly, the Board considers that it would be appropriate to determine the Conversion Price with reference to the prevailing market prices of the Shares, which reflect the fair market value of the Shares traded on the Stock Exchange. In order to protect the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, the Board insisted to set the Conversion Price at a high premium (instead of at a discount to the closing prices of the Shares) which is a common practice for listed issuers in Hong Kong. As such, the Directors consider that the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable having considered 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.

Historical price performance of the Shares

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Conversion Price, we reviewed the daily closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange during the period from 1 June 2020 (being the date approximately one year prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement) up to and including the date of the Announcement (the ‘‘Last Trading Day’’) (the ‘‘Review Period’’). It is a common market practice to adopt a sampling period of approximately one year as it demonstrates the fluctuation of the recent closing prices of the Shares and we consider that the Review Period is fair, adequate, representative and sufficient to illustrate the general trend and level of movement of recent closing prices of the Shares for conducting a reasonable comparison among the historical closing prices of the Shares and the Conversion Price. The comparison of daily closing prices of the Shares and the Conversion Price is illustrated as follows:

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As illustrated in the above, during the Review Period, the closing prices of the Shares fluctuated between a range from HK$0.238 per Share recorded on 17 December 2020 to HK$0.465 per Share recorded on 23 June 2020 respectively, with an average closing price of the Share of approximately HK$0.310 per Share (the ‘‘Average Closing Price’’). The Conversion Price represents a premium of approximately 12.90% over the Average Closing Price during the Review Period. During the Review Period, there were 210 out of 267 trading days on which the closing price of the Shares was below the Conversion Price. Having considered the above, we are of the view that the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Market comparables analysis

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the principal terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Convertible Notes, we have conducted a search on the website of the Stock Exchange for all transactions involving the issuance of convertible bonds/notes by companies listed on the Stock Exchange which were announced from 29 December 2020 to the Last Trading Day (i.e. six months period prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement) (the ‘‘Comparable Period’’). We have considered the proposed issue of convertible bonds/notes to either connected persons or independent third parties in our research, since the terms of such issuance were arrived at based on prevailing market conditions regardless of whether the subscribers were connected persons or not and represent an unbiased reference on market terms, therefore providing a good reference in our evaluation of the terms of the Convertible Notes. We considered the Comparable Period as sufficient and appropriate for the analysis because (a) comparable transactions during such period are close to the date of Subscription Agreement; and (b) there are sufficient comparable companies in this period for our analysis.

Based on the said Criteria, we have identified 54 comparable issues (the ‘‘CB Comparables’’) which we consider to be exhaustive and sufficient to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Conversion Price. Independent Shareholders should note that the subject companies involved in the CB Comparables may have different nature of business operations, market capitalizations, financial performance and financial position as compared with those of the Company. However, as the CB Comparables can provide a general reference of the conversion price and interest rate in the market, we consider the CB Comparables are exhaustive, fair and representative and may be used as a reference to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Conversion Price and the interest rate of the Convertible Notes. Below is the summary of the respective discount of the conversion price to the closing price on last trading day and the respective interest rate.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As illustrated in the table above, the conversion price of the relevant CB Comparables (excluding outliers) ranged from a discount of approximately 19.60% to a premium of approximately 66.67% with an average and a median of premiums of approximately 15.82% and approximately 13.30% respectively. We note that the premium of the Conversion Price to the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day of approximately 22.81% is within the range and above the average and the median of the CB Comparables. We also note that the interest rates of the CB Comparables ranged from nil to 15%. The interest rate of the Convertible Notes of 0% is at the bottom of such range and thus not less favourable to the Company and the Independent Shareholders than that of the CB Comparables.

Given that (i) the CB Comparables has a sufficient sample size and the outliers have been excluded from comparison; (ii) the premium of the Conversion Price is above the average and the median of the CB Comparables; and (iii) the interest rate of the Convertible Notes is not less favourable to the Company and Independent Shareholders than that of the CB Comparables, we are of the view that the market comparable analysis is fair and representative and the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Based on the above comparisons with the historical closing prices of the Shares during the Relevant Period and the CB Comparables, we are of the view that the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable.

As shown in the Board Letter under the section headed ‘‘Effect on shareholding structure of the Company’’, assuming that save for the Subscription, there will be no other changes to the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date and prior to conversion, the shareholding in the Company held by the existing public Shareholders would be diluted from approximately 86.57% as at the Latest Practicable Date to:

  • (i) approximately 17.29% immediately after full conversion of the Convertible Notes at the Conversion Price (assuming that there are no other changes to the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date); and

  • (ii) approximately 70.01% immediately after the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Convertible Notes at the Conversion Price to the extent that Chi Capital will hold 29.99% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company (assuming that, there are no other changes to the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date).

Given that the Conversion Price is set at a premium over the closing price of the Share on the Last Trading Day, there is no value dilution to the existing public Shareholder under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We also noted that pursuant to the terms of the convertible notes instrument, the holder of the Convertible Notes may only exercise a conversion right provided that (i) any conversion of the Convertible Note does not trigger a mandatory offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code on the part of the Noteholder which exercised the conversion rights; and (ii) the public float of the Shares shall not be less than 25% (or any given percentage as required by the Listing Rules) of the issued Shares at any one time in compliance with the Listing Rules and the right of the Company to redeem. Moreover, if necessary, pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes may be assigned or transferred to any transferee subject to prior notification to the Company.

For the Convertible Notes which are unconverted, i.e. due to restrictions in relation to obligations under the Takeovers Code and public float requirement, the Subscriber may assign or transfer to any transferee subject to prior notification to the Company pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes. The decrease in the Conversion Price will incentivize potential investors to accept the Convertible Notes and accordingly increase the likelihood of converting the Convertible Bonds which, upon their respective conversions, reduce the Group’s indebtedness. As compared to the extremely out-of-money Existing Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes will provide a more practicable conversion option for its holders and will also provide the Company an easier solution to improve its financial position assuming, most if not all, the Convertible Notes will be converted before they mature. We are of the view that, although the full conversion of the Convertible Notes may result in a further dilution on the existing Shareholders, having factoring all the benefits as discussed above, it is justifiable for the Company to undertake the Subscription in order to hinder the risk of having to become insolvency when the Existing Convertible Notes are not converted and become matured.

Taking into account (i) the financial position of the Group; (ii) that the out-of-money Existing Convertible Notes will become mature on 28 May 2025 and it is unlikely that the Company would have sufficient internal resources to redeem all the Existing Convertible Notes upon maturity; (iii) that the Subscription immediately reduces the indebtedness of the Group and provides the Group with an extension of time to repay its indebtedness; (iv) the decrease in Conversion Price which incentivized the conversion of the Convertible Notes by the Subscriber and reduce the indebtedness of the Group; (v) in the event of improvement in financial performance of the Group which attracts potential investors and strategic partners, the Convertible Notes can be trade, sold or assigned to other parties which would further reduce the Group’s indebtedness upon potential conversion of the Convertible Notes, we are of the view that the dilution effect on the shareholding of existing public Shareholders is acceptable and justifiable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

4. Possible financial effects of the Subscription

Earnings

The non-interest bearing Convertible Note is expected to record finance cost in the income statement of the Group as its liability will be measured with the effective interest method at amortized cost over its relevant period. Given that the principal amount of the Convertible Notes is smaller than that of the Existing Convertible Notes, such amortized cost will decrease and result in a net positive impact on the earnings of the Group. Moreover, the Group is also expected to recognize a gain due to the reduction of the liability component the Debt Cut. The calculation of such gain associated with the Debt Cut will be subject to audit.

Net asset value

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2020, the net asset value attributable to the Shareholders amounted to approximately US$106.10 million as at 31 December 2020. Given that the principal amount of the Convertible Notes is less than that of the Existing Convertible Notes, the net asset value attributable to the Shareholders is expected to improve (i) after the Subscription but prior to the conversion of the Convertible Notes; and (ii) upon the conversion of the Convertible Notes.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the above principal factors and reasons, we are of the opinion that, despite the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder is not conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, such terms are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Accordingly, we would recommend the Independent Shareholders, and advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution(s) in respect of the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Yours Faithfully, For and on behalf of Veda Capital Limited Julisa Fong Managing Director
