Application has been made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares in issue and to be issued pursuant to the Capitalisation Issue and the Share Offer and upon the exercise of the Offer Size Adjustment Option and any options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme as described in the Prospectus. Subject to the granting by the Stock Exchange of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares on GEM as mentioned in the Prospectus and the compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the Listing Date, or on any other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange is required to take place in CCASS on the second Business Day after any trading day. 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 have been made for the Shares to be admitted into CCASS.

The Share Offer comprises (i) the Public Offer of initially 20,000,000 Public Offer Shares, representing 10% of the total number of the Offer Shares (subject to reallocation); and (ii) the Placing of initially 180,000,000 Placing Shares, representing 90% of the total number of the Offer Shares (subject to reallocation and the Offer Size Adjustment Option). The allocation of the Shares between the Public Offer and the Placing is subject to adjustment as stated in the section headed “Structure and Conditions of the Share Offer — The Public Offer — Reallocation” in the Prospectus.

In addition, the Company is expected to grant the Offer Size Adjustment Option to the Joint Bookrunners (for themselves and on behalf of the Placing Underwriters) under the Placing Underwriting Agreement, pursuant to which the Joint Bookrunners (for themselves and on behalf of the Placing Underwriters) may exercise the Offer Size Adjustment Option prior to the Listing and require the Company to allot and issue up to 30,000,000 additional Shares at the Offer Price, representing up to 15% of the Offer Shares initially available under the Share Offer, on the same terms as those applicable to the Share Offer, solely to cover any excess demand in the Placing. The Company will disclose in its allotment results announcement whether and to what extent the Offer Size Adjustment Option has been exercised, and will confirm in the announcement that, if the Offer Size Adjustment Option is not exercised by then, the Offer Size Adjustment Option will lapse and cannot be exercised on any future date. The allotment results announcement will be published on the Stock Exchange’s website at www.hkexnews.hk and the Company’s website at www.ispg.hk .

The Offer Size Adjustment Option will not be used for price stabilisation purposes in the secondary market after listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange and is not subject to the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilizing) Rules of the SFO (Chapter 571W of the Laws of Hong Kong).

The Offer Price per Offer Share will be not more than HK$0.4 and is expected to be not less than HK$0.3. The Offer Price is expected to be fixed by the Price Determination Agreement between the Joint Bookrunners (for themselves and on behalf of the Underwriters) and the Company on the Price Determination Date. The Price Determination Date is scheduled to be on or about Friday, 5 January 2018. If, for any reason, the Joint Bookrunners (for themselves and on behalf of the Underwriters) and the Company are unable to reach an agreement on the Offer Price by Tuesday, 9 January 2018, the Share Offer will not become unconditional and will lapse.

Applicants for the Public Offer Shares are required to pay, on application, the maximum Offer Price of HK$0.4 per Share together with brokerage fee of 1%, the SFC transaction levy of 0.0027% and the Stock Exchange trading fee of 0.005%, subject to refund without interest if the Offer Price as finally determined is less than HK$0.4 per Offer Share.

The Share Offer is conditional upon the fulfillment of the conditions as set out in the sub-section headed “Structure and Conditions of the Share Offer – Conditions of the Share Offer” in the Prospectus. If such conditions are not fulfilled (or, where applicable, not waived by the Joint Bookrunners (for themselves and on behalf of the Underwriters)) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreements on or before the dates and times as specified therein, the Share Offer will lapse and thereafter, all money received will be refunded to applicants without interest and the Stock Exchange will be notified immediately. Notice of the lapse of the Share Offer will be published by the Company on the Stock Exchange’s website at www.hkexnews.hk and the Company’s website at www.ispg.hk on the next Business Day immediately following the date of such lapse.

The Offer Shares are fully underwritten by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements. Prospective investors should note that the Joint Bookrunners (for themselves and on behalf of the Public Offer Underwriters) are entitled to terminate their obligations under the Underwriting Agreements by giving notice in writing to the Company upon the occurrence of any of the events set out in the sub-section headed “Underwriting – Underwriting Arrangements, Commissions and Expenses – Public Offer – Grounds for termination” in the Prospectus at any time prior to 8:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on the Listing Date, Tuesday, 16 January 2018.
