— 5 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to give details of, among other things, (i) the proposed Share Consolidation; (ii) the proposed Change in Board Lot Size; and (iii) a notice of the EGM, at which necessary resolution will be proposed to consider and approve the proposed Share Consolidation.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every five (5) issued and unissued Existing Ordinary Shares of HK$0.002 each in the share capital of the Company be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Ordinary Share of HK$0.01.

Effects of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$23,000,000 comprising two classes of shares:

  • (a) HK$20,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Existing Ordinary Shares of HK$0.002 each, and

  • (b) 300,000,000 series A senior redeemable convertible cumulative voting preferred shares of par value HK$0.01 each.

Of such authorised share capital, 4,227,440,291 Existing Ordinary Shares and 72,859,049 Existing Preferred Shares have been issued and fully paid. Among the 72,859,049 Existing Preferred Shares, 56,048,273 Existing Preferred Shares (convertible to 280,241,365 Existing Ordinary Shares) have been issued under the Subscription Deed, and 16,810,776 Existing Preferred Shares (which are convertible to 16,810,776 Existing Ordinary Shares) have been issued under the Supplemental Deed (details of the preferred shares are set out in the Company’s circular dated 28 October 2005 and 15 October 2009 respectively).

After the Share Consolidation becoming effective and assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the date of the Announcement up to the effective date of the Share Consolidation, the authorised share capital of the Company shall remain at HK$23,000,000, comprising:

  • (a) HK$20,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Consolidated Ordinary Shares of HK$0.01 each, and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

of which 845,488,058 Consolidated Ordinary Shares and 72,859,049 Outstanding Preferred Shares (convertible into 59,410,428 Consolidated Ordinary Shares) will be in issue, immediately upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Ordinary Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other in the same class in accordance with the Company’s memorandum and articles of association. The Share Consolidation will not result in any change in the relative rights or proportionate interests of the holders of shares of the same class. Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation (including without limitation professional fees and printing fees), the implementation thereof will not, of itself, alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests or rights of the holders of shares of the same class, save for any fractional Consolidated Ordinary Shares which may arise.

Adjustments to Options and Existing Preferred Shares

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are (i) outstanding options granted under the Share Option Scheme to subscribe for 60,100,000 Existing Ordinary Shares; and (ii) 72,859,049 Outstanding Preferred Shares which are convertible into 297,052,141 Existing Ordinary Shares. The Share Consolidation will cause adjustments to the subscription price and/or the number of share options pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Share Option Scheme, and will cause adjustments to the outstanding Existing Preferred Shares. The Company will appoint its auditors or a financial advisor to review and certify the basis of such adjustments to the conversion prices of the outstanding options and Outstanding Preferred Shares. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company regarding details of such adjustments (if any) as and when appropriate.

Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no other outstanding derivatives, options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into Shares.

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Share Consolidation;

  • (ii) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Ordinary Shares to be in issue, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

Subject to the satisfaction of all the above conditions, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will become effective on the business day following the date of the EGM.

Listing Application

An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Consolidated Ordinary Shares to be in issue upon

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the Share Consolidation taking effect. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Ordinary Shares in issue upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, the Consolidated Ordinary 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 Ordinary 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 trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

None of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The Board also proposes to change the board lot size for trading from 5,000 Existing Ordinary Shares to 2,000 Consolidated Ordinary Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.33 per Existing Ordinary Share (equivalent to HK$1.65 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the estimated market value per board lot of 2,000 Consolidated Ordinary Shares will be HK$3,300 assuming the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

OTHER ARRANGEMENT

Odd Lot Arrangements and Fractional Consolidated Ordinary Shares

Fractional Consolidated Ordinary Shares will be disregarded and not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Ordinary Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Ordinary Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots of the Consolidated Ordinary Shares, the Company has appointed China Times Securities Limited (中辰證券有限公司) as an agent to provide matching services for the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Ordinary Shares on a best effort basis. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Ms. Lydia Lee of China Times Securities Limited at Room 503, 5/F, The Sun’s Group Centre, 200 Gloucester Road, Hong Kong at telephone number (852) 2527 2331 during office hours. Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Ordinary Shares should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Ordinary Shares are not guaranteed. Any Shareholder, who is in any doubt about the odd lot arrangement, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers. Shareholders may refer to the section headed “EXPECTED TIMETABLE” on pages 3 to 4 of this circular for the period during which the Company will provide matching service for the sale and purchase of the odd lots of the Consolidated Ordinary Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Free exchange of Share Certificates

Subject to the Share Consolidation become effective, Shareholders may, during the period from 18 November 2013 to 24 December 2013 (both days inclusive) during business hours, submit existing certificates for the Shares in green colour to the Company’s share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Rooms 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates in blue colour for the Consolidated Ordinary Shares. It is expected that the new certificates for the Consolidated Ordinary Shares will be available for collection within 10 business days after the submission of the existing share certificates to the share registrar of the Company for exchange. Thereafter, certificates for Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange) for each new certificate issued for the Consolidated Ordinary Shares.

Existing certificates for the Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for certificates for the Consolidated Ordinary Shares at anytime at the expense of the Shareholders in question.

Fund Raising

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group does not have any arrangement, intention, understanding or negotiation about any possible fund raising exercises subsequent to the Share Consolidation.

REASONS FOR PROPOSED CONSOLIDATION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

According to the closing price of HK$0.385 per share as quoted on the Stock Exchange dated 11 October 2013 (being the date of the Announcement), the market value per board lot of 5,000 Shares was HK$1,925. The Board considers that the existing market value per board lot is low and the trading costs per board lot is high when taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade on the Stock Exchange. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the trading costs per board lot of 2,000 Consolidated Ordinary Shares may be lowered.

In addition, the “Guide of Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions” issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated on 6 January 2012 (the “Guideline”) stated that taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected board lot value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000. Accordingly, the Company proposed the Share Consolidation which will increase the nominal value of the Shares and reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. The Share Consolidation is expected to bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Consolidated Ordinary Shares on the Stock Exchange.

In view of the above, the Directors consider that the Share Consolidation and Change in Board Lot Size are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
