PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

A notice convening the SGM to be held at Portion 2, 12/F, The Center, 99 Queen’s Road Central, Central, Hong Kong on Thursday, 18 August 2022 at 11:00 a.m. is set out on pages 14 to 16 of this circular.

Whether or not you are able to attend and vote at the SGM, you are requested to read the notice and to complete and sign the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Standard Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong (which will be relocated to 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong with effect from 15 August 2022) as soon as possible and in any event not less than forty-eight (48) hours before the time fixed for holding the SGM or any adjourned meeting thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjourned meeting thereof should you so wish and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

In view of the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the SGM to protect attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders from the risk of infection: (i) compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendee at the entrance of the SGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the SGM venue or be required to leave the SGM venue; (ii) the Company strongly recommends attendees to wear surgical face masks inside the SGM venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats; and (iii) no refreshments and drink will be served, and there will be no corporate gifts. To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the SGM venue or require any person to leave the SGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the SGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders’ health and safety and to be consistent with the recent COVID-19 guidelines for prevention and control of the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic at the SGM, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the SGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions inserted, the Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the SGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolution at the SGM instead of attending the SGM in person.

The proxy form is attached to this circular for Shareholders who opt to receive physical circulars. Alternatively, the proxy form can be downloaded from the Stock Exchange’s website at http://www.hkexnews.hk or the ‘‘Investor Relations’’ section of the Company’s website at www.amco-united.com. If you are not a registered Shareholder (if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or the Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited), you should consult directly with your banks or brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 13 July 2022 in relation to, among other matters, the proposed Share Consolidation. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with more information regarding the proposed Share Consolidation and the notice of SGM.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effects of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$400,000,000 divided into 40,000,000,000 Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each, of which 2,418,879,481 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the SGM, immediately after the proposed Share Consolidation becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$400,000,000 divided into 8,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.05 each, of which 483,775,896 Consolidated Shares will be in issue.

The Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with Memorandum of Association and Bye-Laws of the Company and as to all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid. There will be no change in the relative rights of the Shareholders. Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation (including without limitation professional fees and printing fees), the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not, in itself, alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares which may arise.

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The proposed Share Consolidation is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of the relevant resolution to approve the proposed Share Consolidation by the Shareholders at the SGM;

  • (ii) the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under Bermuda law (where applicable) to effect the Share Consolidation; and

  • (iii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares.

Subject to the satisfaction of all the above conditions, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will become effective on the Effective Date, i.e. being the second Business Day immediately following the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution approving the Share Consolidation at the SGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions has been fulfilled.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Listing Application

An application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into the CCASS. The Share Consolidation will be conducted in accordance with the provisions in the Bye-laws.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the existing Shares on the Stock Exchange upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, the Consolidated Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter.

All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC. None of the existing Shares or debt securities of the Company are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time of the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

Adjustments in relation to other securities of the Company

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has 428,000,000 outstanding Share Options and has outstanding scheme mandate limit under the Share Option Scheme which refreshed in the annual general meeting of the Company dated 30 June 2022 is 241,887,948 existing Shares, after the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the outstanding scheme mandate limit under the Share Option Scheme will become 48,377,589 Consolidated Shares.

Save as aforesaid, the Company has no other outstanding convertible securities, shares options or warrants in issue which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into shares of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

SHARE CAPITAL STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY BEFORE AND AFTER THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The following table sets out the effect on the share capital structure of the Company before and immediately after the Share Consolidation, assuming that no further Shares will be issued from the Latest Practicable Date up to the Effective Date:

Before the Share After the Share
Consolidation Consolidation
Par value per share of the Company HK$0.01 HK$0.05
Authorized share capital of the Company HK$400,000,000 HK$400,000,000
Number of authorized ordinary shares
of the Company 40,000,000,000 8,000,000,000
Issued share capital of the Company HK$24,188,794.81 HK$24,188,794.80
Number of issued ordinary shares
of the Company 2,418,879,481 483,775,896

BOARD LOT SIZE

As at the date of this circular, the Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in the board lot size of 10,000 Shares. No change to the board lot size is being contemplated as a result of the Share Consolidation.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.051 per Share (equivalent to HK$0.255 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each board lot of the Shares is HK$510 and the theoretical market value of each board lot of the Consolidated Shares, assuming the proposed Share Consolidation had became effective, would be HK$2,550.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The ‘‘Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions’’ issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated on 1 October 2020 has stated that market price of the Shares at a level less than HK$0.01 will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules.

Taking into account of the closing price of HK$0.051 per Share on 22 July 2022 (being the Latest Practicable Date), the Share Consolidation would enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules.

The Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares and will reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. As such, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Shares.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As set out in the ‘‘Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions’’ issued by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, the value of each board lot shall not be less than HK$2,000. Based on the closing price of HK$0.051 per Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.255 per Consolidated Share upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective) as at the date of this circular, (i) the value per board lot of 10,000 Existing Shares is HK$510; and (ii) the value per board lot of 10,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,550 on the assumption that the Share Consolidation becomes effective.

Based on the above, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

CORPORATE ACTION PLAN OF THE COMPANY

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate actions in the next 12 months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Consolidation, and the Company does not have any plan, arrangement, understanding, intention, negotiation (either concluded or in process) on any fund raising activities or precise investment opportunities and has no immediate plan for issue of new Shares. However, the Board cannot rule out the possibility that the Company will conduct debt and/or equity fund raising exercises when suitable fund raising and/or investment opportunities arise in order to support future development of the Group. The Company will make further announcement in this regard in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares

Fractional Consolidated Shares will not be issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional entitlements of Consolidated Shares will be aggregated, sold and retained for the benefit of the Company.

Shareholders who are concerned about losing out on any fractional entitlement are recommended to consult their licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant or other professional adviser and may wish to consider the possibility of buying or selling the Shares in a number sufficient to make up an entitlement to receive a whole number of Consolidated Shares.

Thereafter, each share certificate for the existing Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may be from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) for each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares or each share certificate for the existing Shares submitted for cancellation, whichever the number of certificates issued or cancelled is higher. Nevertheless, the share certificates for the existing Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares at any time but are not accepted for trading, settlement and registration upon completion of the proposed Share Consolidation.
