ZZN. Ltd. and Laurence mate. Ltd., both of which are Shareholders, are controlled by Mr. Zhu as to 100% and 90%, respectively. Accordingly, ZZN. Ltd. and Laurence mate. Ltd. are presumed to be parties acting in concert under the Takeovers Code. The aggregate shareholding of ZZN. Ltd. and Laurence mate. Ltd. will decrease from approximately 38.23% of the issued share capital of the Company as of the date of this announcement to approximately 29.42% immediately after completion of the Vendor Placing, and will increase to approximately 35.14% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Subscription immediately after completion of the Subscription, thereby triggering a general offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code (unless waived by the Executive in accordance with the Takeovers Code). ZZN. Ltd. and Laurence mate. Ltd. will apply to the Executive for the grant of a waiver to them from the obligation to make a general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code with respect to the Subscription.

It is expected that the Placing Shares will be placed by the Placing Agent to not less than six professional, institutional and/or individual investors who, together with their respective ultimate beneficial owners, are third parties independent of and not connected with the Top-up Vendor, the parties acting in concert with the Top-up Vendor, the Company and connected persons of the Company. It is not expected that any such investor will become a substantial shareholder of the Company as a result of the Vendor Placing.

The closing of the Subscription is conditional upon (i) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange having granted the listing of and permission to deal in the Subscription Shares and such listing and permission not subsequently revoked prior to the delivery of definitive share certificate(s) representing the Subscription Shares; (ii) the closing of the Vendor Placing having occurred pursuant to the terms of the Placing and Subscription Agreement; and (iii) ZZN. Ltd. and Laurence mate. Ltd. having obtained from the Executive a waiver from the obligation to make a general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code in connection with the Subscription and such waiver not having been subsequently revoked prior to the delivery of definitive share certificates representing the Subscription Shares.

The issue of the Subscription Shares will not be subject to the Shareholders’ approval and the Subscription Shares will be issued under the General Mandate granted by the Shareholders to the Directors pursuant to the resolutions of the Shareholders passed on June 30, 2021. Pursuant to the General Mandate, the Directors were granted authority to allot, issue and deal with up to 437,053,640 Shares, representing 20% of the total number of Shares of the Company in issue as at June 30, 2021. The Company has not issued any Shares pursuant to the General Mandate as of the date of this announcement.

Application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares.

As the completion of the Vendor Placing and the Subscription is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, it may or may not materialize as contemplated or at all, the Shareholders and potential investors are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

The number of Subscription Shares is equivalent to the number of the Placing Shares.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is equivalent to the Placing Price. The net share price for the Subscription is estimated to be approximately HK$3.08 per Subscription Share.

The Subscription Shares will be allotted and issued under the General Mandate granted to the Directors pursuant to the ordinary resolution passed at the annual general meeting of the Company held on June 30, 2021. Under the General Mandate, a maximum of 473,053,640 Shares, representing 20% of the total number of Shares of the Company in issue as at June 30, 2021, may be allotted and issued by the Company. The Company has not issued any Shares pursuant to the General Mandate as at the date of this announcement.

Under the Extended General Mandate, the Company may issue such number of Shares that have been repurchased pursuant to the Buy Back Mandate. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has repurchased an aggregate of 5,341,000 Shares under the Buy Back Mandate. Accordingly, the Company may allot and issue a further 5,341,000 Shares under the Extended General Mandate. As the number of Subscription Shares is less than the maximum number of Shares that may be allotted and issued by the Company under the General Mandate, all Subscription Shares will be allotted and issued under the General Mandate.

As such, no further approval from Shareholders is required for the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares.

5

Ranking of the Subscription Shares

The Subscription Shares shall, when fully paid, rank pari passu in all respects with the other Shares in issue or to be issued by the Company on or prior to the date of completion of the Subscription including the rights to all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid on or after the date of allotment.

Conditions of the Subscription

The closing of the Subscription is conditional upon the fulfilment of the following conditions:

ZZN. Ltd. and Laurence mate. Ltd. will apply to the Executive for the grant of a waiver to them from the obligation to make a general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code with respect to the Subscription.

Closing of the Subscription

The closing of the Subscription shall take place on the second business day after the date upon which the last of the conditions to completion of the Subscription to be satisfied shall have been so satisfied provided that it shall take place on a date no later than 14 days after the date of the Placing and Subscription Agreement, or at such other time and/or date as the Company, the Top-up Vendor and the Placing Agent may agree in writing and in compliance with the Listing Rules.

Notwithstanding any provisions contained in the Placing and Subscription Agreement, the Placing Agent shall not be liable whatsoever in connection with the Subscription.
