FIRST QUARTERLY RESULTS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2016

CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2016

  • Total revenue of the Group for the Three-Month Period amounted to approximately HK$19.5 million (2015: approximately HK$48.5 million). Most of the revenue was derived from lottery games and systems, hardware, distribution and ancillary services in the PRC.

  • The decrease in revenue for the Three-Month Period of approximately 59.9% as compared to that for the same period in 2015 was mainly due to reduced sales of lottery hardware products during the Three-Month Period. The supply of lottery hardware in the PRC is highly regulated with only a small number of approved suppliers. Revenue in this business typically exhibits an irregular pattern since not only are sales not on a commission basis but also the customer base is concentrated and the timing of orders from customers can be variable. Thus, while over longer periods of time, orders and revenues tend to be stable, in the short term volatility can be seen.

  • During the Three-Month Period, the gross profit margin percentage stood at approximately 36.6% (2015: approximately 30.6%).

• The Group’s loss after tax decreased by approximately 62.1% for the Three-Month Period to approximately HK$14.4 million from approximately HK$38.0 million in 2015. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the (i) gain from changes in fair value of contingent consideration payables of approximately HK$30.4 million due to the remeasurement of the bonus options under the Score Value Transaction since 31 December 2015; (ii) improvement of the gross profit margin; and (iii) decrease of the selling and administrative expenses by approximately HK$6.5 million associated with the decrease in revenue; but such loss was partially offset by the increase of the share based payments to approximately HK$27.1 million (2015: approximately HK$22.3 million) due to the relatively high value of share options granted since 31 March 2015.

  • The Board does not recommend the payment of an interim dividend for the ThreeMonth Period.

Notes:

1. BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of GEM Listing Rules, accounting principles generally accepted in Hong Kong which include Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, and Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”).

The consolidated financial statements have not been audited by the Company’s auditors, but have been reviewed and commented on by the Company’s audit committee. The principal accounting policies and methods of computation used in preparing these results are consistent with those used in preparing the Group’s audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015.

HKICPA has issued a number of new and revised Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, Hong Kong Accounting Standards and Interpretations (the “new and revised HKFRS”). The Group has not early adopted the new and revised HKFRS that have been issued but are not yet effective, as the Group is in the process of assessing the impact of these new and revised HKFRS on the financial performance and financial position of the Group.

2. REVENUE

Revenue represents the amounts received and receivable from lottery games and systems, hardware, distribution and ancillary services in the PRC during the Three-Month Period.

3. INCOME TAX EXPENSE

Income tax expense for the Three-Month Period represents PRC Enterprise Income Tax.

4. LOSS PER SHARE

The calculation of basic and diluted loss per share is based on the unaudited loss attributable to owners of the Company for the Three-Month Period of approximately HK$13,810,000 (2015: approximately HK$37,272,000) and the weighted average number of approximately 4,710,439,000 Shares (2015: approximately 4,480,476,000 Shares) in issue during the period.

The computation of the diluted loss per share does not assume the exercise of the Company’s share options as the exercise would decrease the loss per share for both periods.

5. DIVIDEND

The Board does not recommend the payment of an interim dividend for the Three-Month Period (2015: nil).

Industry Overview

According to information published by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC, during the first two months of the year, the lottery market recorded sales of approximately RMB55.1 billion, a decrease of approximately 13.9% compared to the corresponding period in 2015. Of this, Welfare Lottery amounted to approximately RMB30.5 billion (accounting for 55.3% of total lottery sales), a decrease of approximately 6.8% year on year. The Sports Lottery achieved sales of approximately RMB24.6 billion (44.7% of total lottery sales, a decrease of approximately 21.4% against the corresponding period in 2015). Lottery sales information for March 2016 is not available as at 12 May 2016.

Lotto remains the largest product in the China market representing 63.4% of sales in the first two months of the year. The decline in lottery sales is mostly attributable to declines in Lotto and Sports, off-setting the modest growth in VLT and Scratch. The particularly dramatic change in the growth trajectory of sales of the Sports product in the period compared to the growth seen in the equivalent prior year period illustrates the important role internet sales played in Sports prior to the enforcement action of March 2015.

Business Review

Revenue of the Group for the Three-Month Period amounted to approximately HK$19.5 million (2015: approximately HK$48.5 million). Most of the revenue was derived from lottery games and systems, hardware, distribution and ancillary services in the PRC. The decrease in revenue for the Three-Month Period of approximately 59.9% as compared to that for the same period in 2015 was mainly due to reduced sales of lottery hardware products during the ThreeMonth Period. The supply of lottery hardware in the PRC is highly regulated with only a small number of approved suppliers. Revenue in this business typically exhibits an irregular pattern since not only are sales not on a commission basis but also the customer base is concentrated and the timing of orders from customers can be variable. Thus, while over longer periods of time, orders and revenues tend to be stable, in the short term volatility can be seen. During the Three-Month Period, the gross profit margin remained stable with a slight increase from approximately 30.6% in 2015 to 36.6% in 2016, mainly attributable to a change in sales mix in the hardware division where the proportion of repairs and maintenance revenues increased relative to terminal sale revenues.

– 9 –

Games and Systems

The development and supply of lottery games, related software and underlying supporting systems

The Games & Systems division has a reserve of rich and attractive lottery game content in various product categories designed to fulfill the demands of the lottery market and the lottery players.

Virtual Lottery Games

AGT, our 51%-owned joint venture with Ladbroke Group (one of the world’s largest sports betting companies) supplies the country’s only virtual sports lottery platform to the China Sports Lottery and has successfully launched two virtual sports games in the country. AGT’s motor racing-themed virtual game “Lucky Racing” (“幸運賽車”) was launched in Hunan province in 2011 while its football themed game “e-Ball Lottery” (“e球彩”) was launched in Jiangsu province during 2013. Since both games are approved lottery products as defined by MOF, we believe that both “Lucky Racing” and “e-Ball Lottery” could be introduced via the internet and mobile channel across the country (subject to regulatory approval) where we would expect them to be highly popular.

During the period, the Group continued to supply its virtual sports lottery games “e-Ball Lottery” and “Lucky Racing” to the launch provinces of Jiangsu and Hunan respectively. “e-Ball Lottery” is a football-themed virtual sports lottery game with a 69% payout ratio. Like “Lucky Racing”, “e-Ball Lottery” is a NSLAC-approved and fully operational lottery game and has been launched in China’s largest Sports Lottery province, “e-Ball Lottery” continues to operate smoothly. In close cooperation with our customer and the relevant lottery authorities in China, we are continually optimising the game and we are encouraged by the potential of this game. Like “Lucky Racing”, we aim to roll out “e-Ball Lottery” to more PRC province(s) in China in due course. Virtual sports lottery is now an established and diversified game category and is fully accepted by the PRC lottery market.

“Lucky Racing” and “e-Ball Lottery” are virtual sports lottery games that are broadcast to lottery shops via a central computer and cable television, allowing customers to bet on computer generated car races or football matches respectively. The betting options are like those typically offered for live car racing or live football matches in other countries. “Lucky Racing” has become a very popular lottery game in Hunan Sports Lottery. Our technical partners at the Sports Lottery have completed the technical preparation work of the national high frequency game platform and have satisfied the technical requirements necessary to carry our “Lucky Racing” to other provinces beyond Hunan and we target the game to be supplied to more PRC province(s).

– 10 –

To date, “Lucky Racing” and “e-Ball Lottery” have been successfully launched in traditional dedicated Sports Lottery shops and the games are targeted to be deployed to more province(s) via this channel. In addition, in due course, the games could be deployed in selected leisure venues (such as coffee shops and restaurants) and, as approved lottery products, the games have the potential to expand nationwide through other remote channels such as mobile and internet.

Other Categories

In addition to virtual lottery games, the Group has launched a number of strategic initiatives to introduce new types of lottery games in the PRC, including a mobile smart phone lottery game and system, a high frequency numbers-based lottery game, and other game categories new to the PRC. The Group intends to introduce these new products to the market in the future, subject to the relevant regulatory approvals.

The Group plans to continue to work with international partners for research and development of various types of self-developed, creative and new lottery games that are suitable to cater for the evolving tastes of China’s lottery players

Hardware

The development, sale and maintenance of lottery hardware (terminals and other lotteryrelated equipment)

Through its subsidiaries, GOT and the Shenzhen Subsidiary of Score Value, AGTech’s hardware division supplies both the Welfare Lottery and Sports Lottery and has lottery hardware deployed in multiple provinces, cities and municipalities of the PRC. The Shenzhen Subsidiary of Score Value is a leading manufacturer and supplier of paper scratch card sales hardware (instant ticket verification terminals, “IVT(s)”) while GOT is a leading manufacturer and supplier of traditional lottery terminals as well as IVTs with international as well as domestic sales.

2016 has seen a continuation of last year’s relatively weak ordering patterns in the PRC lottery hardware market. However, it is anticipated that the slow pace of ordering will be a temporary feature. We are continuing to pursue international opportunities for our hardware and currently the Group is in active discussions with a number of potential international customers and/or distributors and we have machines live or on trial in markets such as South Africa, Cyprus, the United Kingdom, Italy, Austria and Canada.

Thanks to the anticipated rapid technology development of the PRC, the Group believes that effective R&D activities are essential to ensure that the Groups’ hardware business remains up-to-date and equipped with competitive technology. The Group’s hardware division plans to continue to focus on R&D, increase its domestic market share and to broaden its product spectrum with new hardware ranges such as VLT which would be suitable for both domestic and international users.

– 11 –

Distribution

The sales and distribution of lottery games

The Group continues to closely monitor policy developments with respect to the government approval of lottery sales via internet and mobile and continues to operate two offline shops for the sale and distribution of lottery games. To date, in line with the relevant lottery regulations, the Group has not conducted any internet lottery sales or maintained any website to conduct such sales.

In the internet channel, the authorities are working on a national (as opposed to provincial) internet distribution system. It is anticipated that sales of the Group’s approved games, “Lucky Racing” and “e-Ball Lottery”, could benefit strongly when such a system is introduced. With respect to mobile smart phones, as evidenced by the current MOF relevant policies, China’s lottery market has begun to activate the trial sale of new types of mobile phone lottery games in various provinces. The Group is well positioned to actively participate in this market in various aspects.

With the Group’s valuable PRC internet service provider and PRC internet content provider experience, as well as its excellent business track record and relationships, the Group has established close cooperation with the various potential domestic and international technology and distribution partners and is committed to providing a full range of support and services to localise and develop the PRC’s mobile lottery systems and games.

Services

The provision of ancillary services

The Group has been providing ancillary services to the PRC provincial lottery authorities since early 2007. In this time, we have provided a wide range of products and services to our provincial clients to assist them in growing sales and improving operations in an efficient manner. Our services include consulting, marketing, training and channel management.

Over many years, the track record of this division as a reliable supplier of quality lottery services to the provincial Sports Lottery authorities in China has been an important enabler of the Group’s strategy, cementing the Group’s first class relationships and reputation across the country.

The Services business’ contribution to Group revenue is currently modest. However, in light of the Group’s valuable experience, solid background as well as its trusting cooperative relationships built up with various provincial lottery administration and distribution authorities over the years, together with new lottery technologies/terminals to be introduced and new developments in the new internet/mobile channel business, it is expected that new opportunities for the Services business will emerge. We are currently exploring and building new business co-operations and business models in this area.

– 12 –

Business Outlook

Policy development plays a crucial role in facilitating the stable development of the PRC lottery industry. The market expects that during 2016 the PRC lottery industry will see further significant policy developments including the introduction of relevant laws and regulations (particularly related to internet and mobile distribution) which will further regulate and professionalise lottery supervision. Thanks to many years of accurately interpreting national regulations and policies, AGTech has successfully grasped industry trends and formulated a corresponding, long-term strategy for business development. Providing full-service solutions across game software and systems, hardware and distribution, we are a fully integrated lottery technology and service provider. We have a track record of working with international lottery technology and services companies to localise and customise games for the PRC, setting us apart in a market where the demand for sophisticated technology is rising with respect to new games, systems, hardware and distribution channels. We believe that the Group is very well placed to capture opportunities arising from the evolution of PRC lottery policy.

The Group has been closely monitoring policy developments with respect to the government approval of lottery sales via internet and mobile channels for many years. In light of the proven potential of the mobile and internet channels and the reported comments of senior Lottery Agency and regulator officials at a recent annual lottery strategy meeting regarding the lottery’s active pursuit of preparatory work for an internet sales pilot scheme, we believe that new online and mobile channels for lottery sales in the PRC are likely to be approved. We believe that any new games and systems that will be approved for online sales will require robust and scalable technology in order to deliver effective and efficient monitoring and control systems. We consider that the Group is well positioned to participate in these areas.

Our proprietary in-store games, “Lucky Racing” and “e-Ball Lottery”, remain successful. Due to the decline in national lottery sales of the traditional lottery products seen during 2015 and so far in 2016, we anticipate an increased urgency within the lottery to push new products to the stores and we believe that this may likely lead to both “Lucky Racing” and “e-Ball Lottery” expanding beyond their launch provinces in due course.

On the topic of hardware, we believe that developments in the PRC lottery market are likely to demand new and more sophisticated hardware solutions that can be deployed as bundled products involving the supply of hardware that is integrated with lottery games and underlying supporting systems and which would benefit from a revenue sharing model. In light of our leading positions in point of sale and handheld terminals as well as our first class international partnerships and long track-record in the PRC lottery market, we believe that AGTech is very well positioned to take advantage of such new opportunities in hardware.

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 4 March 2016, on 4 March 2016, the Company had entered into a subscription agreement under which Ali Fortune Investment Holding Limited (“Ali Fortune”) (a company indirectly owned as to 60% by Alibaba Group Holding Limited (“Alibaba”) and as to 40% by Zhejiang Ant Small and Micro Financial Services Group Co., Ltd. (“Ant Financial”)) will subscribe for HK$2,388,000,000 of new shares and convertible bonds in AGTech. Upon completion of the transaction, AGTech will become the exclusive lottery business platform of Alibaba and Ant Financial and Ali Fortune

– 13 –

will become the Company’s largest Shareholder. If completed, we believe that the transaction will enhance AGTech’s ability to develop and expand our existing lottery business and in particular we expect that our mobile and internet lottery business will benefit from significant potential synergies resulting from the cooperation with Alibaba and Ant Financial.

Taken together with the continuing underlying revenue growth potential of the PRC lottery business, the numerous catalysts for strategic growth outlined above suggest a very positive outlook for the Group for 2016 and beyond.

Financial Performance Review

Revenue of the Group for the Three-Month Period amounted to approximately HK$19.5 million (2015: approximately HK$48.5 million). Most of the revenue was derived from lottery games and systems, hardware, distribution and ancillary services in the PRC. The decrease in revenue for the Three-Month Period of approximately 59.9% as compared to that for the same period in 2015 was mainly due to reduced sales of lottery hardware products during the ThreeMonth Period. The supply of lottery hardware in the PRC is highly regulated with only a small number of approved suppliers. Revenue in this business typically exhibits an irregular pattern since not only are sales not on a commission basis but also the customer base is concentrated and the timing of orders from customers can be variable. Thus, while over longer periods of time, orders and revenues tend to be stable, in the short term volatility can be seen. During the Three-Month Period, the gross profit margin remained stable with a slight increase from approximately 30.6% in 2015 to 36.6% in 2016, mainly attributable to a change in sales mix in the hardware division where the proportion of repairs and maintenance revenues increased relative to terminal sale revenues.

The Group’s loss after tax decreased by approximately 62.1% for the Three-Month Period to approximately HK$14.4 million from approximately HK$38.0 million in 2015. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the (i) gain from changes in fair value of contingent consideration payables of approximately HK$30.4 million due to the remeasurement of the bonus options under the Score Value Transaction since 31 December 2015; (ii) improvement of the gross profit margin; and (iii) decrease of the selling and administrative expenses by approximately HK$6.5 million associated with the decrease in revenue; but such loss was partially offset by the increase of the share based payments to approximately HK$27.1 million (2015: approximately HK$22.3 million) due to the relatively high value of share options granted since 31 March 2015.

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 4 March 2016 (the “Subscription Announcement”), the Company entered into a subscription agreement (“Subscription Agreement”) with, among others, Ali Fortune Investment Holding Limited (the “Subscriber”), which is a company indirectly owned as to 60% by Alibaba Group Holding Limited (“Alibaba Holding”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Alibaba Group”) and as to 40% by Zhejiang Ant Small and Micro Financial Services Group Co., Ltd. (“Ant Financial”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Ant Financial Group”). Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company has conditionally agreed to allot and issue to the Subscriber, and the Subscriber has conditionally agreed to subscribe for:

  • (i) an aggregate of 4,817,399,245 new Shares (the “Subscription Shares”) (representing approximately 98.09% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date hereof and approximately 49.52% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issuance of the Subscription Shares) at a subscription price of HK$0.3478 per Share; and

  • (ii) convertible bonds of the Company in the aggregate principal amount of HK$712,582,483 (the “Convertible Bonds”), which shall entitle the bondholders to subscribe for up to 2,350,478,275 Shares (the “Conversion Shares”) at an initial conversion price of HK$0.3478 per Share (subject to adjustment).

(The subscription for the Subscription Shares and the Convertible Bonds is referred to as the “Subscription” hereinafter.)

As disclosed in the announcements of the Company dated 16 March 2016, 23 March 2016 and 10 May 2016, the initial conversion price of the Convertible Bonds has been adjusted to HK$0.3013 per Share.

The Company will allot and issue the Subscription Shares and, upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds, the Conversion Shares under a specific mandate to be approved by the independent Shareholders at a special general meeting of the Company (“SGM”).

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Subscriber and its ultimate beneficial owners are parties independent of the Company and the connected persons (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) of the Company.

Immediately upon completion of the Subscription (“Completion”), assuming that the Convertible Bonds are not converted and there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company, the Subscriber (together with parties acting in concert with it (as defined in the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (“Takeovers Code”))) will hold 4,817,399,245 Shares, representing approximately 98.09% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date hereof and approximately 49.52% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issuance of the Subscription Shares.

– 15 –

Immediately upon Completion, assuming that the Convertible Bonds are converted in full at the adjusted initial conversion price of HK$0.3013 per Conversion Share and there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company, the Subscriber (together with parties acting in concert with it (as defined in the Takeovers Code)) will in aggregate be interested in 7,182,064,763 Shares, representing approximately 146.23% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date hereof and approximately 59.39% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issuance of the Subscription Shares and the Conversion Shares.

In respect of both the Subscription Shares and the Conversion Shares, the Subscriber has made an application to the Executive Director of the Corporate Finance Division of the Securities and Futures Commission (or any delegate of such Executive Director)(the “Executive”) for a waiver from its obligation under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code to make a mandatory general offer to the Shareholders for all the issued Shares and other securities of the Company not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Subscriber and parties acting in concert with it (the “Whitewash Waiver”). The Whitewash Waiver (in respect of both the Subscription Shares and the Conversion Shares), if granted by the Executive, will be subject to, among other things, approval by the independent Shareholders at the SGM by way of a poll.

The aggregate nominal value of the 4,817,399,245 Subscription Shares to be issued under the Subscription Agreement is approximately HK$9,634,798. The subscription price of HK$0.3478 per Share and the conversion price of HK$0.3013 per Share under the Subscription represents a discount of approximately 82.5% and approximately 84.9% respectively to the closing price of HK$1.99 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 4 March 2016, being the date of the Subscription Agreement.

Having considered the various factors stated in the section headed “REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION” in the Subscription Announcement, the Directors (excluding the members of the independent board committee who will express their opinion after considering the advice of the independent financial adviser as to the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Subscription and the Whitewash Waiver) consider that the terms of the Subscription are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and the entering into of the Subscription Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Key terms of the Convertible Bonds:

  • The Convertible Bonds bear no interest on the principal amount. However, if the Company shall pay any dividend in cash or scrip to the Shareholders, each bondholder shall be entitled to be paid interest in respect of that dividend as if the Convertible Bonds held by such bondholder have been converted into Shares in full at the applicable conversion price.

– 16 –

  • The Convertible Bonds may be converted by the Subscriber in full or in part at any time during the period on or after the issuance date of the Convertible Bonds and up to the maturity date (which is the third anniversary of the date of issuance of such bonds), provided that, following such conversion, (i) at least 25% of the Company’s total number of issued Shares are held by the public (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules); and (ii) the Company is otherwise in compliance with the public float requirements under Rule 11.23(7) of the GEM Listing Rules.

  • On the other hand, the Company may, by giving prior written notice to the bondholders, require all (but not any one) of the bondholders to convert their Convertible Bonds into Shares in full at any time on or after the issuance date of the Convertible Bonds and up to a date no later than five business days prior to the aforesaid maturity date, provided that, following such conversion, (i) at least 25% of the Company’s total number of issued Shares are held by the public (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules); and (ii) the Company is otherwise in compliance with the public float requirements under Rule 11.23(7) of the GEM Listing Rules.

  • Following the occurrence of any special event as set out in the bond instrument in respect of the Convertible Bonds, such as change of control, each bondholder will have the right to require the Company to redeem in whole but not in part such bondholder’s Convertible Bonds at 112 per cent. of the principal amount of such Convertible Bonds.

  • The conversion price of the Convertible Bonds will be subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment for, among other things, consolidation, subdivision or reclassification of the Shares, capitalisation of profits or reserves, capital distribution, rights issues of Shares or options over Shares, rights issues of other securities and other dilutive events.

  • If the Company shall issue Shares or grant options to subscribe for any Shares under the Score Value Transaction, or shall issue Shares under the Rainwood Options or the Consultant Options, the conversion price of the Convertible Bonds shall be adjusted in a manner so that:

  • (i) the shareholding of the Subscriber (the “Subscriber Shareholding”) in the Company (based on the number of Shares that the Subscriber acquired upon Completion and that it (or any of its affiliates) continues to hold plus such Shares that the Subscriber would acquire upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds in full) on a fully-diluted basis immediately following the issuance of such Shares and/or the grant of such options

is equal to:

  • (ii) the Subscriber Shareholding immediately prior to the issuance of such Shares and/ or the grant of such options.

Following such adjustment due to the grant of the options under the Score Value Transaction, the conversion price of the Convertible Bonds shall not be further adjusted when such options are exercised.

– 17 –

If, at the time all or any part of the Convertible Bonds are to be converted into Shares, there are outstanding options to subscribe for Shares under the Rainwood Options or the Consultant Options, the conversion price of the Convertible Bonds shall be adjusted as if such options had been exercised.

  • The payment obligations of the Company under the Convertible Bonds shall, save for such exceptions as may be provided by mandatory provisions of applicable laws, at all times rank at least equally with all of the Company’s other present and future direct, unsubordinated, unconditional and unsecured obligations.

  • No application will be made for a listing of the Convertible Bonds.

  • The Convertible Bonds are freely transferable.

Use of proceeds from the Subscription

The aggregate amount of the consideration for the Subscription Shares and the Convertible Bonds to be received by the Company from the Subscriber upon Completion shall be HK$1,675,417,517 and HK$712,582,483, respectively, totalling HK$2,388,000,000 in cash. The net proceeds, after taking into account the expenses in relation to the Subscription, shall be approximately HK$2,380,000,000 (“Net Proceeds”), representing a net price of approximately HK$0.331 per Subscription Share.

The Group financed its operations primarily with internally generated cash flows, bank borrowings as well as the proceeds from the fund raising exercise and from the exercising by grantees of the share options granted under the Share Option Scheme. Immediately upon Completion, the cash position of the Group will be substantially strengthened by approximately HK$2.38 billion.

The Net Proceeds will be used to fund the existing operations and future development of the Company’s existing principal businesses. In particular, the Group plans to utilise approximately HK$1,330 million (representing approximately 55.88% of the Net Proceeds) within 12 months from the date of Completion and such proceeds shall be allocated to each of the business segments of the Group and for general corporate purposes as set out in the section headed “Use of proceeds” in the Subscription Announcement.

Business Cooperation Framework Agreement

As disclosed in the Subscription Announcement, a Business Cooperation Framework Agreement shall be entered into among Taobao (China) Software Co., Ltd. (“Taobao Software”, a subsidiary of Alibaba Holding), Alipay.com Co., Ltd. (“Alipay”, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ant Financial) and the Company at Completion, pursuant to which the Group shall become the exclusive business platform of Alibaba Group and Ant Financial Group for the lottery business.

– 18 –

During the three years following the signing of the Business Cooperation Framework Agreement, the Group shall pay service fees to the relevant members of Alibaba Group and Ant Financial Group determined as a certain percentage of the commission income received by the Group for lottery sales contributed by the online lottery players introduced through Alibaba Group and Ant Financial Group’s platforms.

After three years following signing of the Business Cooperation Framework Agreement, Taobao Software, Alipay and the Group will discuss and determine the service fees based on the market and other conditions at that time.

Further, Taobao Software and Alipay will provide technical services and resources, such as, cloud computing services and e-commerce, to the Group on a service fee to be agreed by the parties.

Prior to the implementation of the business cooperation contemplated under the Business Cooperation Framework Agreement, the parties (or their respective affiliates) will further negotiate and enter into definitive agreements setting out the specific terms and conditions. Any transactions between Taobao Software, Alipay and/or their respective subsidiaries (on the one hand) and the Group (on the other hand) as contemplated under any such definitive agreements will constitute continuing connected transactions for the Company. The Company will comply with applicable requirements in accordance with Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules as and when required.

Proposed increase in authorised share capital

In order for the Company to carry out the Subscription and to fulfill its pre-existing obligations involving the issue of Shares, it is proposed that the Company’s authorised share capital shall be increased from HK$20,000,000 (divided into 10,000,000,000 Shares) to HK$40,000,000 (divided into 20,000,000,000 Shares) by the creation of an additional 10,000,000,000 Shares, and such increase shall be subject to approval by the Shareholders at the SGM.
