Exercise Price

The Exercise Price shall be paid by the Grantees in cash to the Subsidiary if and when the Options are exercised.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Exercise Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between Chongqing Jiexing, the Subsidiary, and the Grantees, with reference to the existing paid-up registered capital of the Subsidiary with a 20% premium. As the Subsidiary is still at development stage and was loss making for the period from 29 July 2011 (being the date of establishment of the Subsidiary) to 31 December 2011 and the year ended 31 December 2012, the Group considers that it is not appropriate to determine the Exercise Price by merely making reference to the net assets value of the Subsidiary. Instead, the Group considers that setting the Exercise Price at a premium over the registered capital of the Subsidiary is in the interests of the Group because it can be treated as a target for improvement of the value of the Subsidiary. The amount of premium was arrived at after negotiation between the Group and the Grantees, having considered the unaudited net assets value of the Subsidiary of approximately HK$65,375,000 as at 30 June 2013, the historical financial performance of the Subsidiary and the business potentials of the Subsidiary, in particular, its increasing transaction volume and operation scale. The Directors considered that the 20% premium is fair and reasonable.

Conditions precedent to the grant of Options

The grant of the Options under the Options Agreement shall be conditional upon and subject to the fulfilment and satisfaction of the following Grant Conditions:

  • (i) the passing of the resolution by the independent Shareholders at the SGM approving the Options Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including but not limited to the grant of Options; and

  • (ii) all necessary consents, approvals and permits required to be obtained by the parties to the Options Agreement (if any) in respect of the Options Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, having been obtained.

None of the Grant Conditions is capable of being waived. If the Grant Conditions shall not have been fulfilled and satisfied in full on or before 31 March 2014 (or such later date as agreed by the parties to the Options Agreement), the Options Agreement shall be terminated and none of the parties shall claim any damages from the other parties to the Options Agreement.

The Options will be granted and vested on the day when the last outstanding Grant Condition shall have been fulfilled and satisfied.

Condition precedent to the exercise of Options

The exercise of the Options shall be conditional upon and subject to the fulfilment and satisfaction of the Exercise Condition that each of the Grantees shall have been under full time employment of the Subsidiary for at least 2 years on the Exercise Date and the remaining terms of employment under each of their respective employment contracts with the Subsidiary shall not be less than 36 months from Exercise Date.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Terms of exercise of Options

The Options shall only be exercised once within the Exercise Period and each of the Grantees entitled to exercise his/her relevant Option shall exercise and pay for his/her relevant aggregate Exercise Price for his/her relevant Option concurrently.

A Grantee shall not be entitled to exercise any of his/her Option if any of the events below occurs prior to or at the time of the exercise of his/her relevant Option:

  • (1) there is no continuous full time employment relationship between the Grantee and the Subsidiary;

  • (2) the Grantee, in performance of the duties as an employee of the Subsidiary, contravenes any of the provisions of the PRC Companies Law or the articles of association of the Subsidiary or conducts any acts to the significant detriment of the Subsidiary;

  • (3) the Grantee through his/her obvious misconduct, in performance of the duties as an employee of the Subsidiary, causes significant loss to the Subsidiary;

  • (4) the Subsidiary, in its absolute discretion, considers the Grantee to be directly responsible for any of its financial losses or deterioration of businesses;

  • (5) the Grantee is liable for any criminal offence; or

  • (6) the Grantee is in breach of any laws, the articles of association or any regulations of the Subsidiary or his/her relevant employment contract with the Subsidiary.

Where any of the Options has not been exercised within the Exercise Period, such Options shall lapse automatically upon expiration of the Exercise Period without any obligation on either Chongqing Jiexing or the Subsidiary to pay any compensation to any of the Grantees.

The Options are personal to the Grantees and are not transferable both before and during the Exercise Period.

Covenants

Each of the Grantees covenants not to transfer any of their respective Option Interests in the Subsidiary within 2 years of the exercise of the Options, and thereafter, Chongqing Jiexing shall have the pre-emptive rights for any such sale or transfer of the Option Interests.

When a third party purchaser offers to purchase the entire equity interest of the Subsidiary and Chongqing Jiexing agrees to sell its entire interests in the Subsidiary to such purchaser, the Grantees shall agree to sell their entire interests in the Subsidiary to such third party purchaser at the same price at which Chongqing Jiexing sells its entire interests in the Subsidiary.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

When the purchase offer of a third party purchaser relates only to part of the equity interests in the Subsidiary, Chongqing Jiexing may choose to sell its interests in the Subsidiary alone or request the Grantees to sell their interests in the Subsidiary to such third party purchaser together with it in proportion to their respective holding in the Subsidiary at the same price at which Chongqing Jiexing sells its equity interests in the Subsidiary.

Chongqing Jiexing and the Subsidiary covenant that, where there shall be any increase in the registered capital of the Subsidiary in the future, each of the Grantees shall have the rights to contribute to the increased registered capital of the Subsidiary to the extent that their respective interests in the Subsidiary remains the same before and after such increase. Such increase in registered capital of the Subsidiary may constitute notifiable or connected transaction of the Company. The Company will comply with the applicable requirements of the Listing Rules when such increase in registered capital of the Subsidiary constitutes notifiable or connected transaction of the Company.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE TRANSACTION

Each of the Grantees has been working and serving as senior management in the Subsidiary since 2011. They are responsible for the day-to-day management, product development, marketing, risk management, customer relationship and finance management of the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary was newly established in July 2011. Under the Grantees’ management, the Subsidiary has been gradually building up transaction volume and operation scale. The Directors considered that the grant of the Options to the Grantees is in recognition of their contributions to the growth of the Subsidiary in the past and as an incentive for their continuing commitments and contributions to the Subsidiary in the future.

The Directors have considered several methods of providing incentives to the Grantees, including lump sum cash bonuses, remuneration increment, profit sharing schemes as well as the grant of the Options. After careful consideration of the various alternatives, the Directors consider the grant of the Options to be the most appropriate method. As opposed to the other alternatives, the Directors consider that the grant of Options to enable the Grantees to subscribe for the equity interest in the Subsidiary will motivate them to continue to contribute to the success and long term development of the Subsidiary. It is also beneficial to the Subsidiary and the Group as a whole as the interest of the senior management of the Subsidiary will be aligned with that of the Group by subscribing for an interest in the Subsidiary themselves. In addition, the capital base of the Subsidiary will be enlarged and the Grantees (which are management staff of the Subsidiary) will be more committed to the furtherance of the development of the Subsidiary’s business. Having considered the above factors, the Directors considered that the grant of Options is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Options Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including Exercise Price), which are arrived at after arm’s length negotiation with the Grantees, are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms, and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the registered capital of the Subsidiary is RMB160 million. Set out below are certain unaudited financial results of the Subsidiary as extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period from 29 July 2011 to 31 December 2011 and the year ended 31 December 2012 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2013 prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (HKGAAP):

The unaudited book value of the total assets and net assets of the Subsidiary were approximately HK$1,050,965,000 and HK$65,375,000 respectively, as at 30 June 2013.

DEEMED DISPOSAL OF THE SUBSIDIARY

Assuming that all of the Grantees exercise the Options in full, the Grantees will, in aggregate, own 20% of the Enlarged Registered Capital of the Subsidiary and the Group’s interests in the Subsidiary will be diluted from 100% to 80% but the Subsidiary will continue to be a subsidiary of the Group.

When all of the Grantees exercise the Option in full, the Group will be deemed to dispose of 20% interest in the Subsidiary and the gross proceeds from the deemed disposal will be RMB48,000,000 (approximately HK$60,960,000) which is intended to be applied as general working capital of the Subsidiary. In addition, the deemed disposal will be accounted for as equity transactions and will not lead to any gain or loss to the Group.

Nevertheless, Shareholders should note that the exact financial effect of the grant and vesting of the Options and the deemed disposal to the Group is subject to the review and approval of the auditors of the Company.

IMPLICATION UNDER THE LISTING RULES

Mr. Shen, being a director and the general manager of the Subsidiary, is a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the entering into of the Options Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As one of the applicable percentage ratios is above 5% but less than 25% and the total consideration to be paid by the Grantees when exercising the Options is above HK$10,000,000, the transactions contemplated under the Options Agreement constitute (i) a discloseable transaction for the Company which is subject to notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and (ii) a connected transaction for the Company which is subject to reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the Options Agreement, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

(1) Background of and reasons for the grant of the Options

Business overview of the Group and the Subsidiary

The Company is principally engaged in investment holding. The Group is principally engaged in the provision of telecommunication solutions, provision of financial solutions, provision of payment platform operation solutions, provision of payment processing solutions and sales of electronic power meters and solutions.

The Subsidiary is a limited liability company incorporated in the PRC on 29 July 2011 and is owned as to 100% by Chongqing Jiexing which is accounted for as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Subsidiary is principally engaged in the provision of payment processing solutions.

Set out below are the unaudited financial information of the Subsidiary for the period from 29 July 2011 (being the date of establishment of the Subsidiary) to 31 December 2011 and the year ended 31 December 2012:

From 29 July 2011
For the year ended to
31 December 2012 31 December 2011
HK$’000 HK$’000
Turnover 55,448
Loss before income tax (88,573) (21,225)
Loss after income tax (88,573) (21,225)

As extracted from the Board Letter, based on the unaudited management accounts of the Subsidiary, the unaudited book value of the total assets and net assets of the Subsidiary were approximately HK$1,050,965,000 and approximately HK$65,375,000, respectively, as at 30 June 2013.

Upon our further enquiry, we understand that the business of the Subsidiary was at the establishment stage and it suffered from increasing losses in 2012 as compared to the period from 29 July 2011 to 31 December 2011 mainly due to the increasing operating costs. In 2013, the Directors represented that the business of provision of payment processing solutions of the Subsidiary has been gradually building up transaction volume and operation scale. Based on the unaudited management accounts of the Subsidiary, we also noted that the financial performance of the Subsidiary has been improving for the six months ended 30 June 2013, in particular that the annualised turnover has expanded while the annualised loss has reduced as compared to 2012.

Reasons for and possible benefits of the grant of the Options

With reference to the Board Letter, the Directors consider that the grant of the Options to enable the Grantees to subscribe for the equity interest in the Subsidiary will motivate them to continue to contribute to the success and long term development of the Subsidiary, especially that the Subsidiary is at the development stage with improving financial performance for the six months ended 30 June 2013. It is also beneficial to the Subsidiary and the Group as a whole as the interest of the senior management of the Subsidiary will be aligned with that of the Group by subscribing for an interest in the Subsidiary themselves. In addition, the capital base of the Subsidiary will be enlarged and the Grantees (which are management staff of the Subsidiary) will be more committed to the furtherance of the development of the Subsidiary’s business.

For our due diligence purpose, we have requested the Company to provide us with the background and working experience of the Grantees and their employment history with the Subsidiary, and have conducted interviews with each of the Grantees. Based on the CVs, employment contracts and other relevant information provided by the Company and our interviews with the Grantees regarding their educational background, past working experience (especially those which were relevant to their current job duties), and their respective responsibilities in the Subsidiary, we noted that the Grantees (i) were accredited from tertiary institutions in the PRC; (ii) have joined the Subsidiary since 2011; and (iii) are currently in charge of various executive functions of the Subsidiary as detailed in the Board Letter and possess relevant experience for the business and operation of the Subsidiary. As further advised by the Directors, the Grantees have been the key personnel providing support for the establishment and progression of the existing business of the Subsidiary. Hence, the Directors consider that the grant of the Options to the Grantees is in recognition of their contributions to the growth of the Subsidiary in the past and as an incentive for their continuing commitments and contributions to the Subsidiary in the future. Having reviewed the aforesaid documents and after our independent interviews with the Grantees, we concur with the Directors that the Grantees are the key personnel for the operation of the Subsidiary and thus the grant of the Options to the Grantees is justifiable.

We have also discussed with the Directors regarding the benefits of the grant of the Options as an incentive scheme. According to the Directors, they have considered several methods of providing incentives to the Grantees, including lump sum cash bonuses, remuneration increment, profit sharing schemes as well as the grant of the Options. After careful consideration of the various alternatives, the Directors consider the grant of the Options to be the most appropriate given that, as opposed to the other alternatives, the grant of the Options will enable the Company to prevent cash outflow (except for the relevant expenses which are relatively insignificant) of the Group while allowing added incentives to the Grantees to make contribution to the Group. In this regard, we have requested the Company to provide us with the estimated expenses summary in relation to the grant of the Options. In addition, since as being detailed under the sub-sections headed ‘‘The exercise and transfer of

– 17 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

the Options’’ and ‘‘Covenants’’ of this letter respectively, that the exercise of the Options is restricted by the continuity of employment of the Grantees with the Subsidiary and the Grantees are forbidden to transfer the Option Interests within two years of the exercise of the Options, the Directors are of the view that the grant of the Options can help to retain the Grantees and further align the interests of the Grantees with the Subsidiary in the medium to long run.

In view of the foregoing reasons for and possible benefits of the grant of the Options, we are of the opinion that the entering into of the Options Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

(2) Terms of the Options Agreement

On 6 January 2014, Chongqing Jiexing, the Subsidiary and the Grantees entered into a conditional Options Agreement pursuant to which Chongqing Jiexing and the Subsidiary conditionally agreed to grant the Options to the Grantees to subscribe for up to 20% of the Enlarged Registered Capital at the Exercise Price of RMB1.2 for every RMB1.0 in the Enlarged Registered Capital within the Exercise Period. Major terms of the Options Agreement are highlighted as follows:

The Grantees and their prescribed percentage of grant

The Grantees include Mr. Shen, Mr. Li, Mr. Xue and Ms. Ge. Pursuant to the Options Agreement, the Grantees may subscribe for the Enlarged Registered Capital in the following manner:

The Exercise Price

As confirmed by the Directors, the Exercise Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations among Chongqing Jiexing, the Subsidiary, and the Grantees with reference to the existing paid-up registered capital of the Subsidiary with a 20% premium. As referred to in the Board Letter, as the Subsidiary is still at the development stage and was loss making for the period from 29 July 2011 to 31 December 2011 and the year ended 31 December 2012, the Group considers that it is not appropriate to determine the Exercise Price by merely making reference to the

– 18 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

net asset value of the Subsidiary. Instead, the Group considers that setting the Exercise Price at a premium over the registered capital of the Subsidiary is in the interest of the Group because it can be treated as a target for improvement of the value of the Subsidiary. The amount of premium was arrived at after negotiations among the Group and the Grantees, having considered the unaudited net asset value of the Subsidiary of approximately HK$65,375,000 as at 30 June 2013, the historical financial performance of the Subsidiary and the business potentials of the Subsidiary, in particular, its increasing transaction volume and operation scale.

On the basis that the Subsidiary is at the development stage and has been loss making since its establishment, we concur with the Directors that it is inappropriate to determine the Exercise Price by merely making reference to the net asset value of the Subsidiary. Furthermore, as mentioned previously, after reviewing the unaudited management accounts of the Subsidiary and conducting the necessary due diligence work on the background and working experience of the Grantees and their employment history with the Subsidiary, we noted that the financial performance of the Subsidiary has already been improving for the six months ended 30 June 2013 and the Grantees are the key personnel for the operation of the Subsidiary. Having the above being the case, we concur with the Directors that setting the Exercise Price at a premium over the registered capital of the Subsidiary can be treated as a target for improvement of the value of the Subsidiary.

Analysis on the Exercise Price

Common methods to assess the pricing of a company include the price multiples analysis. In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Exercise Price of RMB1.2, we have also tried to perform the price multiples analysis which comprises only the price to book ratio (‘‘PBR’’) since the Subsidiary had been loss making during its latest financial year of which the financial information is available. In this relation, we have searched for companies listed in both the PRC and Hong Kong which are engaged in similar lines of business as the Subsidiary, being the provision of payment related services, and derive a majority of their turnover from such business for comparison (the ‘‘Comparables’’). After our independent research, we could not find any listed companies in the PRC which are able to meet the said selection criteria. For this reason, we have further enquired into the Directors and were reconfirmed that the Subsidiary’s major competitors in the PRC are private companies. As for the Hong Kong listed companies, to the best of our knowledge and endeavor, we found three Hong Kong listed companies which meet the said selection criteria and they are exhaustive as far as we are aware of. Nonetheless, it should be noted that the operations and prospects of the Subsidiary are not exactly the same as the Comparables, and we have not conducted any in-depth investigation into the businesses and operations of the Comparables.

– 19 –

Set out below are the PBRs of the Comparables based on their closing share prices as at 6 January 2014, being the date of the Options Agreement, and their latest published financial information:

Company name PBR
(stock code) Principal business (times)
Universal Technologies Provision of payment solutions and related 1.70

Minimum 1.70

Median 2.34
The Subsidiary and 3.73
the Exercise Price (Note)

Source: the Stock Exchange’s website (www.hkex.com.hk)

Note: The implied PBR of the Subsidiary was calculated based on (a) the Exercise Price and (b) the unaudited net asset value of the Subsidiary as at 30 June 2013 divided by the registered capital of the Subsidiary.

We noticed from the above table that the PBRs of the Comparables ranged from approximately 1.70 times to approximately 10.82 times, with a median of approximately 2.34 times and an average of approximately 4.95 times. Given that the implied PBR of the Subsidiary is approximately 3.73 times, the implied PBR of the Subsidiary is within the PBR range of the Comparables and is higher than the median PBR but lower than the average PBR of the Comparables.

Although the operations and prospects of the Subsidiary are not exactly the same as the Comparables, we consider that the Comparables are fair and representative reference to illustrate the general PBRs of Hong Kong listed companies which are engaged in the provision of payment related services business.

– 20 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

Taking into account (i) that the Exercise Price was set with reference to the existing paid-up registered capital of the Subsidiary with a 20% premium which we consider to be acceptable having also considered and balanced with the other favourable terms of the Options Agreement; (ii) the reasons for and possible benefits of the grant of the Options as elaborated under the sub-section headed ‘‘Reasons for and possible benefits of the grant of the Options’’ of this letter; and (iii) the implied PBR of the Subsidiary is within the PBR range of the Comparables which reflects the general range of PBRs of Hong Kong listed companies which are engaged in the provision of payment related services business, we are of the opinion that the Exercise Price is fair and reasonable so far as the independent Shareholders are concerned.

The exercise and transfer of the Options

The exercise of the Options shall be conditional upon and subject to the fulfilment and satisfaction of the Exercise Condition that each of the Grantees shall have been under full time employment of the Subsidiary for at least two years on the Exercise Date and the remaining terms of employment under each of their respective employment contracts with the Subsidiary shall not be less than 36 months from the Exercise Date.

Moreover, the Options are personal to the Grantees and are not transferable both before and during the Exercise Period.

The Directors are of the view that the imposition of the aforesaid condition precedent to the exercise and transfer of the Options can help to retain the Grantees and further align the interests of the Grantees with the Subsidiary in the medium to long run and we concur with the Directors in this respect.

Covenants

Each of the Grantees covenants not to transfer any of their respective Option Interests within two years of the exercise of the Options, and thereafter, Chongqing Jiexing shall have the pre-emptive rights for any such sale or transfer of the Option Interests (‘‘Covenant I’’).

When a third party purchaser offers to purchase the entire equity interests in the Subsidiary and Chongqing Jiexing agrees to sell its entire interests in the Subsidiary to such purchaser, the Grantees shall agree to sell their entire interests in the Subsidiary to such third party purchaser at the same price at which Chongqing Jiexing sells its entire interests in the Subsidiary (‘‘Covenant II’’).

When the purchase offer of a third party purchaser relates only to part of the equity interests in the Subsidiary, Chongqing Jiexing may choose to sell its interests in the Subsidiary alone or request the Grantees to sell their interests in the Subsidiary to such third party purchaser together with it in proportion to their respective holding in the Subsidiary at the same price at which Chongqing Jiexing sells its equity interests in the Subsidiary (‘‘Covenant III’’).

– 21 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

Chongqing Jiexing and the Subsidiary covenant that, where there shall be any increase in the registered capital of the Subsidiary in the future, each of the Grantees shall have the rights to contribute to the increased registered capital of the Subsidiary to the extent that their respective interests in the Subsidiary remains the same before and after such increase (‘‘Covenant IV’’).

We are of the view that Covenant I is beneficial to the Group since it would not merely align the interests of the Grantees with the Subsidiary in the medium to long run, but also provide Chongqing Jiexing with the pre-emptive rights for purchase of the Option Interests and obtain full control of the Subsidiary in the event that the Grantees decide to sell or transfer the Option Interests.

We are also of the view that Covenant II and Covenant III are favourable to the Group as they would ensure that the Grantees shall follow the same action as Chongqing Jiexing in the event that Chongqing Jiexing wishes to sell its interests in the Subsidiary.

As for Covenant IV, we consider that it is on normal commercial term.

In light of the aforementioned terms and conditions of the Options Agreement, we are of the view that the terms of the Options Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable so far as the independent Shareholders are concerned.

(3) Possible financial effects of the grant of the Options

As advised by the Directors, when all of the Grantees exercise the Options in full, the Group will be deemed to dispose of 20% equity interest in the Subsidiary and the gross proceeds from the deemed disposal will be RMB48,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$60,960,000) which are intended to be applied as general working capital of the Subsidiary. In addition, the Directors confirmed that the deemed disposal will be accounted for as equity transactions and will not lead to any gain or loss to the Group.

Nevertheless, Shareholders should note that the exact financial effect of the grant and vesting of the Options together with the deemed disposal to the Group is subject to the review and approval of the auditors of the Company.
