Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANIZATION, CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 4 April 2019 that the Board proposes to effect the Capital Reorganization and change in board lot size.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the Capital Reorganization and change in board lot size and the notice of EGM for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the resolution relating to the Capital Reorganization.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

CAPITAL REORGANIZATION

The Directors proposed to reorganize the share capital of the Company in the following manner:

  1. the par value of each issued Share of HK$0.10 will be reduced to HK$0.0001 by canceling the paid-up share capital to the extent of HK$0.0999 on each issued Share;

  2. immediately after the Capital Reduction becomes effective, each authorized but unissued Share will be sub-divided into 1,000 New Shares of HK$0.0001 each; and

  3. immediately after the Capital Reduction and Sub-division become effective, the New Shares will be consolidated on the basis that every 10 issued and unissued New Shares of HK$0.0001 each will be consolidated into one Consolidated Share of HK$0.001 each.

Effects of the Capital Reorganization

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$10,000,000,000 divided into 100,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.10 each, of which 9,327,172,000 Shares are in issue and are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date, after the Capital Reduction and Sub-division becoming effective but prior to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the authorized share capital of the Company will be HK$10,000,000,000 divided into 100,000,000,000,000 New Shares of HK$0.0001 each, of which 9,327,172,000 New Shares will have been issued and fully paid or credited as fully paid. After the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the authorized share capital of the Company will be HK$10,000,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.001 each, of which 932,717,200 Consolidated Shares will have been issued and fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased after the Latest Practicable Date, a credit of approximately HK$931.78 million will arise as a result of the Capital Reduction. Such credit will be transferred to a distributable reserve account of the Company. The account will be applied by the Directors for such purposes permitted under the applicable laws.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Company’s memorandum and articles of association. Fractional Consolidated Shares will be disregarded and not issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Consolidated Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.

Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Capital Reorganization, the implementation thereof will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests or rights of the Shareholders.

Conditions for Capital Reorganization

The Capital Reorganization is conditional upon the following:

  1. the passing of the necessary resolutions by the Shareholders to approve the Capital Reorganization at the EGM;

  2. the Court confirming the Capital Reduction and compliance with any conditions the Court may impose in relation to the Capital Reduction;

  3. the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue following the Capital Reorganization taking effect; and

  4. registration by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands of a copy of the order of the Court confirming the Capital Reduction and the minute approved by the Court containing the particulars required under the Companies Law with respect to the Capital Reduction.

The Capital Reorganization shall become effective when the conditions mentioned above are fulfilled. Upon the approval by the Shareholders of the Capital Reorganization at the EGM, the legal advisors to the Company (as to Cayman Islands Law) will apply to the Court for hearing date(s) to confirm the Capital Reduction and a further announcement will be made by the Company as soon as practicable after the Court hearing date(s) is confirmed.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Listing Application

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 Shares arising from the Capital Reorganization.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, 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, under contingent situation, 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 equity or debt 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.

CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Shares are traded in board lots of 2,000 Shares. Conditional upon the Capital Reorganization becoming effective, the Board also proposes to change the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange from 2,000 Shares to 6,000 Consolidated Shares.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.059 per Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.59 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each existing board lot of 2,000 Shares is HK$118 and the theoretical value for each new board lot of 6,000 Consolidated Shares, assuming the Capital Reorganization has become effective, would be HK$3,540.

EXPECTED TIMETABLE

The expected timetable for the implementation of the Capital Reorganization and change in board lot size is set out on pages 4 to 6 of this circular.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL REORGANIZATION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

According to Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of the issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the Stock Exchange reserves the right to require the issuer either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities.

In view of the recent trading prices of the Shares, the Board proposed to implement the Capital Reorganization. It is expected that the Capital Reorganization would bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares. The change in board lot size would increase the trading amount for each board lot of Consolidated Shares so as to comply with the trading requirement of the Stock Exchange.

In addition, the Company is prohibited from issuing new shares at below their par value under the Company’s articles of association and the Companies Law. The Capital Reduction will give the Company greater flexibility in pricing any future issue of shares.

Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Capital Reorganization and change in board lot size are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Board has taken into account of the Company’s business plan for the next 12 months in considering the proposed Capital Reorganization. The Board confirms that it has no intention to carry out any corporate actions offsetting the effect of the Capital Reorganization within the next 12 months.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company was engaging in negotiation of possible fund raising exercise involving issuance of new shares and/or convertible bonds but no binding agreement has been reached yet. Save as aforesaid, the Company did not intend or enter into any negotiation or agreement to conduct any equity fund raising activity as at the Latest Practicable Date.

ARRANGEMENT ON ODD LOT TRADING

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares, the Company has appointed Fortune (HK) Securities Limited, as an agent to provide matching service, on a best effort basis, for the sale and purchase of odd lots of Consolidated Shares arising from the Capital Reorganization. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Dealing Department of Fortune (HK) Securities Limited at 43/F, COSCO Tower, 183 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong at telephone number 3189 2187 during office hours. Shareholders should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Please refer to the section headed “EXPECTED TIMETABLE” on pages 4 to 6 of this circular for the period during which the Company will provide matching service for the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

EXCHANGE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES

The new share certificates will be in the colour of green in order to distinguish them from the existing share certificates which are gold in colour. Subject to the Capital Reorganization becoming effective, which is expected to be on 21 August 2019, Shareholders may, on or after 21 August 2019 until 26 September 2019 (both days inclusive), submit share certificates for existing Shares to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for certificates of the Consolidated Shares (on the basis of 10 existing Shares for one Consolidated Share) within the prescribed time. Thereafter, certificates of Shares will remain effective as documents of title but 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 specified by the Stock Exchange) per certificate issued or cancelled, whichever is higher, payable by Shareholders.

CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES AND SHARE OPTIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are (i) 2018 Convertible Bonds in the outstanding principal amount of HK$100,000,000; (ii) 2019 Convertible Bonds in the outstanding principal amount of HK$70,000,000 and (iii) outstanding share options granted under the Share Option Scheme to subscribe for 836,000,000 new Shares. The auditor of the Company or a financial adviser will be engaged by the Company in accordance with the terms of the 2018 Convertible Bonds, 2019 Convertible Bonds and Share Option Scheme respectively to certify in writing as to the adjustments (if any) required to be made in respect of the 2018 Convertible Bonds, 2019 Convertible Bonds and share options as a result of the Capital Reorganization. The Company will make further announcements about the adjustments in due course.

THE EGM

A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages 14 to 16 of this circular. A form of proxy for the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to be present at the EGM, you are advised to complete the form of proxy and return it to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong in accordance with the instructions printed thereon not less than 48 hours before the time fixed for the EGM. The completion and delivery of a form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting at the meeting in person.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has an interest in the Capital Reorganization which is materially different from the other Shareholders. Therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.

For determining the entitlement to attend and vote at the EGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Monday, 20 May 2019 to Thursday, 23 May 2019 both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of shares of the Company will be registered. In order to be eligible to attend and vote at the EGM, unregistered holders of shares of the Company should ensure that all the share transfer documents accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company’s share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong not later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 17 May 2019.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors are of the opinion that the proposed Capital Reorganization is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and so recommend you to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the EGM.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that to the best of their knowledge and belief the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

Yours faithfully,
