CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. 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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM. The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Stock Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website at www.hkgem.com in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
==> picture [253 x 126] intentionally omitted <==
(Incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability) (Stock Code: 8279)
Executive Directors: Mr. Sun Ho (Chairman) Mr. Kot Wai Ming
Independent non-executive Directors:
Mr. Kwok Wing Leung Andy Mr. Wang Ronghua Mr. Hua Fengmao
Registered office: Clarendon House 2 Church Street Hamilton HM 11 Bermuda
Head office and principal place of business: Unit 3912, 39/F., Shell Tower Times Square Causeway Bay Hong Kong
2 February 2007
To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSALS FOR CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME, SHARE PREMIUM REDUCTION AND REFRESHMENT OF THE 10% LIMIT ON THE GRANT OF OPTIONS UNDER THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
I. INTRODUCTION
The Board announced on 24 January 2007 that it wishes to put forward to the Shareholders for approval at the SGM the proposals relating to the Change of the Company Name, the Share Premium Reduction and the Scheme Limit Refreshment.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with details of the Change of Company Name, the Share Premium Reduction and the Scheme Limit Refreshment.
* For identification purpose only
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
II. CHANGE OF COMPANY NAME
Reason for the Change of Company Name
The Board proposes that the name of the Company be changed to “AGTech Holdings Limited” (and “ ” be adopted as its new Chinese name for identification purpose) in order to better reflect the future business development of the Group which currently plans to expand its range of products into the fixed odds betting products and systems.
Conditions of the Change of Company Name
The Change of Company Name is subject to:
-
(i) the passing of a special resolution approving the Change of Company Name by the Shareholders at the SGM; and
-
(ii) the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda approving the proposed Change of Company Name,
and shall take effect from the date on which the new name is registered by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda in place of the former name. Thereafter, the Company will carry out the necessary filing procedures with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong.
Effects of the Change of Company Name
The Change of Company Name will not affect any of the rights of the Shareholders. All existing share certificates in issue bearing the present name of the Company will, after the Change of Company Name has become effective, continue to be evidence of title to the Shares and will be valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery for the same number of Shares in the new name of the Company. Accordingly, there will not be any arrangement for free exchange of existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Once the Change of Company Name has become effective, any new share certificates of the Company will be issued in the new name of the Company. Following the Change of Company Name becoming effective, the stock short name for trading in the Shares on GEM will be changed.
A further announcement will be made by the Company to inform the Shareholders of the effective dates of the Change of Company Name and the new stock short name of the Shares.
III. SHARE PREMIUM REDUCTION
The Board proposes that the entire amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company be reduced on the Effective Date.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the unaudited amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company is estimated to stand at approximately HK$87.8 million. According to the audited financial statements of the Company as at 30 June 2006, the amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company was HK$20,576,560 and its accumulated losses were HK$32,304,734. According to the unaudited financial statements of the Company as at 30 September 2006, the amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company was HK$32,421,460 and its accumulated losses were HK$39,977,683. It is proposed that, pursuant to the Share Premium Reduction and subject to fulfilment of its conditions as set out below, the entire amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company on the Effective Date be reduced, with part of the credit arising therefrom being applied to offset against the accumulated losses of the Company as at the Effective Date in full and the remaining balance of the credit being credited to the contributed surplus account of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the unaudited amount of the contributed surplus account of the Company is estimated to stand at approximately HK$11.1 million.
Reason for the Share Premium Reduction
The Board considers that the elimination of the accumulated losses of the Company in full will give the Company more flexibility to declare dividends to its Shareholders at the earliest opportunity in the future as and when the Board considers appropriate. The Board believes that the Share Premium Reduction is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Board does not have any present intention to declare dividends to its Shareholders.
Effect of the Share Premium Reduction
Implementation of the Share Premium Reduction will not affect the underlying assets, liabilities, business operations, management or financial position of the Company, other than related expenses incurred which are immaterial.
Conditions of the Share Premium Reduction
The Share Premium Reduction is conditional on:
-
(i) the passing of a special resolution approving the Share Premium Reduction by the Shareholders at the SGM; and
-
(ii) the proper compliance with the requirements of section 46(2) of the Companies Act, including (a) the publication of a notice in relation to the Share Premium Reduction in Bermuda, and (b) the Directors having satisfied that on the date the Share Premium Reduction is to be effected, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Share Premium Reduction will be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.
Assuming the above conditions are fulfilled, it is expected that the Share Premium Reduction will become effective on the date of the SGM at which the relevant special resolution approving the Share Premium Reduction is passed by the Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
IV. SCHEME LIMIT REFRESHMENT
The purpose of the Share Option Scheme is to provide incentives or rewards to Eligible Participants thereunder for their contribution and/or future contributions to the Group and/or to enable the Group to recruit and retain high-calibre employees and attract human resources that are valuable to the Group.
Under the Share Option Scheme, the total number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all options granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company (excluding, for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit, options lapsed (if any) in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company) shall not exceed the Scheme Mandate Limit. The Company may seek approval of the Shareholders in general meeting for refreshing the Scheme Mandate Limit provided that the total number of Shares in respect of which options may be granted under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed shall not exceed 10% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of the approval of the Shareholders on the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit. Options previously granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company (including those outstanding, exercised, cancelled or lapsed in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company) will not be counted for the purpose of calculating the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed. The maximum number of Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option schemes of the Company should not exceed 30% of the total number of Shares in issue from time to time.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, particulars of the options granted under the Share Option Scheme are set forth below:
| For options outstanding: For options cancelled: For options lapsed: For options exercised: For options granted (including outstanding, cancelled, lapsed or exercised): |
Number of Shares in respect of the options granted under the Share Option Scheme 3,750,000 – – 116,275,000 |
|---|---|
| 120,025,000 |
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
There has not been any refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit since the adoption of the Share Option Scheme on 18 November 2004. Save as disclosed herein and except for the Ladbroke Option, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there were no options, warrants and similar rights to subscribe or purchase equity securities of the Company.
The current Scheme Mandate Limit is 267,500,000 Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, options carrying the rights to subscribe for up to a total of 120,025,000 Shares have been granted under the Share Option Scheme and such 120,025,000 Shares represents approximately 4.0% of the total number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. Unless the Scheme Mandate Limit is refreshed, only up to 147,475,000 Shares may be issued pursuant to the grant of further options under the Share Option Scheme. The refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit will increase the flexibility of the Company in achieving the purpose of the Share Option Scheme as mentioned above.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 3,001,795,000 Shares in issue. For illustrative purpose only, assuming that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased prior to the SGM, the maximum number of Shares issuable under any options that can be granted by the Company under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit would be 300,179,500 Shares, representing 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the SGM.
The proposed Scheme Limit Refreshment is conditional upon:
-
(i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Scheme Limit Refreshment; and
-
(ii) the GEM Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of any option that may be granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.
An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the SGM to approve the proposed Scheme Limit Refreshment and is set out as an ordinary resolution numbered 3 in the notice of the SGM on pages 11 to 13 of this circular.
Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may be issued upon the exercise of any option that may be granted under the Share Option Scheme or any other share option schemes of the Company under the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit.
V. SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
Set out on pages 11 to 13 of this circular is the notice of the SGM to be held at Boardroom 3-4, M/F., Renaissance Harbour View Hotel, 1 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong on Tuesday, 27 February 2007 at 10:00 a.m., at which resolutions will be proposed to approve the Change of Company Name, the Share Premium Reduction and the Scheme Limit Refreshment.
