CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
The board (the “ Board ”) of directors (“ Directors ”) of ISP Global Limited (the “ Company ”) announces that the board lot size of the ordinary shares in the Company (the “ Shares ”) for trading on the GEM of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Stock Exchange ”) will be changed from 10,000 Shares to 2,000 Shares with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 23 February 2021.
The Shares are currently traded in board lots of 10,000 Shares each. The Board expects that the reduction in board lot size will lower the threshold for investors to purchase the Shares, thus facilitating the trading and improving the liquidity of the Shares, which will enable the Company to attract more investors and therefore broaden the shareholders’ base of the Company. Upon the change in board lot size becoming effective, the Shares shall be traded in board lots of 2,000 Shares each. Based on the closing price of HK$1.60 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the date of this announcement, the market value per each board lot of the Shares before the change in board lot size is HK$16,000 and will be HK$3,200 after the change in board lot size.
The change in board lot size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the shareholders of the Company. As no odd lots of the Shares will result from the aforesaid change in board lot size, no odd lot arrangement is required to be made to match the sales and purchases of odd lots. The Board considers that the change in board lot size to be in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
In order to meet the capital needs of its business operation, the Company has, on an ongoing basis, been exploring various means to raise funds and strengthen its capital base. However, as at the date of this announcement, the Company does not have any definite plan to conduct any other corporate actions or arrangements in the next 12 months that may affect the trading in the Shares or any equity fund raising activities.
