CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders
Dear Sir/Madam,
(1) PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND (2) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 10 February 2023 and 27 February 2023 in relation to, among other matters, the proposed Share Consolidation. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with more information regarding the proposed Share Consolidation and the notice of EGM.
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every twenty (20) issued and unissued Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.20 each.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effects of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$10,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each, of which 722,304,000 Existing Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and assuming that no new Existing Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date until the effective date of the Share Consolidation, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$10,000,000 divided into 50,000,000 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.20 each, of which 36,115,200 Consolidated Shares will be in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid.
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other.
Other than the relevant expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will have no effect on the consolidated net asset value of the Group, nor alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which the Shareholders may otherwise be entitled and the necessary professional expenses for the implementation of the Share Consolidation.
The Board believes that the Share Consolidation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group and that on the date the Share Consolidation is to be effected, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Share Consolidation would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due. The Share Consolidation will not involve any diminution of any liability in respect of any unpaid capital of the Company or the repayment to the Shareholders of any unpaid capital of the Company nor will it result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The implementation of the Share Consolidation is conditional upon:
-
(i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Share Consolidation;
-
(ii) the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and
-
(iii) the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the laws of the Cayman Islands (where applicable) and the obtaining of all necessary approvals from the regulatory authorities or otherwise as may be required in respect of the Share Consolidation, if any.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Share Consolidation, the effective date of the Share Consolidation is expected to be on Tuesday, 21 March 2023, being the second Business Day after the date of EGM.
Listing Application
An application will be made by the Company to the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, 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 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 settlement day thereafter. 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 will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.
None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Share Consolidation becomes effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.
OTHER ARRANGEMENTS
Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares
Fractional Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, if any, will be disregarded and will not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold and retained for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Existing Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.
Arrangement on odd lot trading
In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots, if any, of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed DL Securities (HK) Limited as an agent to provide matching services, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares during the period from Tuesday, 4 April 2023 to Thursday, 27 April 2023. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Mr. Eddie

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Cheng of DL Securities (HK) Limited at 29/F, Vertical Square, 28 Heung Yip Road, Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong (telephone number: (852) 3890 2996 during office hours (i.e. 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) of such period).
Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders who are in any doubt about the odd lots matching arrangement are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.
Free exchange of share certificates for Consolidated Shares
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be Tuesday, 21 March 2023, being the second Business Day immediately after the date of the EGM, the Shareholders may on or after Tuesday, 21 March 2023 and until Tuesday, 2 May 2023 (both days inclusive), submit their existing share certificates in blue colour for the Existing Shares to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong for exchange for new share certificates on the basis of every twenty (20) Existing Shares for one (1) Consolidated Share without any fractional Consolidated Share in pink colour for the Consolidated Shares at the expense of the Company. Thereafter, a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange) will be payable by the Shareholders to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office for each share certificate for the Consolidated Shares issued or each share certificate for the Existing Shares submitted for cancellation, whichever is higher.
After 4:10 p.m. on Thursday, 27 April 2023, trading will only be in Consolidated Shares which share certificates will be issued in pink colour. Existing share certificates in blue colour for the Existing Shares will cease to be valid for trading, settlement and registration purpose, but will remain valid and effective as documents of title.
NO CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
The Existing Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in board lot size of 5,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain unchanged at 5,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot.
ADJUSTMENTS IN RELATION TO OTHER SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 14,400,000 outstanding Share Options granted under the share option scheme of the Company adopted on 11 May 2016 entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for 14,400,000 Existing Shares (equivalent to 720,000 Consolidated Shares assuming the Share Consolidation has become effective) at the exercise price of HK$0.021 per Existing Share (equivalent to HK$0.42 per Consolidated Share assuming the Share Consolidation has become effective). Subsequent to the Grant of Options, there are 33,600,000 share options (the “ Share Options ”) available for future grant.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no other outstanding options, warrants or other securities in issue which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares, as the case may be.
REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
Pursuant to Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of an issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the issuer may be required either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities. Further, the “Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions” issued by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated on 1 October 2020 states that (i) market price of the shares at a level less than HK$0.10 each will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules; and (ii) 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.
The Existing Shares have predominantly been trading at closing prices close to HK$0.1 each in the past few months. Based on the closing price of the Existing Shares of HK$0.021 as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing Shares were trading at board lot value of HK$105. In view of the prevailing trading prices of the Existing Shares, the Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation.
The proposed Share Consolidation will reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. As such, it is expected that the proposed Share Consolidation would bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange. As a result, the proposed Share Consolidation would enable the Company to continue to comply with the trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules. Based on the closing price of HK$0.021 per Existing Share (equivalent to HK$0.42 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the expected market value of each board lot of 5,000 Consolidated Shares, assuming the Share Consolidation had become effective, would be HK$2,100, which is greater than HK$2,000 and therefore complies with the requirement as set out in the said “Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions”.
Save for the relevant expenses, including but not limited to professional fees and printing charge to be incurred by the Company, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will have no effect on the consolidated net asset value of the Group, nor alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or the financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests of the Shareholders. In view of the above, the Board considers that the Share Consolidation is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
OTHER CORPORATE ACTIONS AND FUND-RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate actions in the next twelve months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Consolidation. Nevertheless, the Board cannot rule out the possibility that the Company will conduct debt and/or equity fund-raising exercises when suitable fund-raising opportunities arise in order to support future development of the Group. The Company will make further announcement in this regard in accordance with the Listing Rules if and when appropriate.
