structure of the Rights Issue with a view to maintaining the attractiveness of the Rights Issue to the Shareholders during the course of the day. However, as the parties have not come to any agreement on the revised structure of the Rights Issue and in light of the current market sentiment, the Company and the Underwriter have mutually agreed to terminate the Underwriting Agreement after trading hours on 6 July 2015 with immediate effect, whereupon the parties’ respective obligations have ceased and terminated.
The Board does not consider that the termination of the Rights Issue would have any material adverse effect on the financial position or the operations of the Group. As a result of such termination, the Company will formulate/revise business plans which were originally proposed to be funded by the Rights Issue.
