PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OF SHARES AND CHANGE OF BOARD LOT SIZE
Proposed Subdivision of Shares and Change of Board Lot Size
The Board proposes that each of the existing issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company be subdivided into five shares of HK$0.002 each. The Share Subdivision will become effective upon the fulfillment of the conditions set out below.
The Shares are currently traded in board lots of 8,000 Shares. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the Subdivided Shares will be traded in board lots of 20,000 Subdivided Shares.
The Board proposes to convene a SGM on 23 October 2006 to consider and, if thought fit, pass resolutions to approve the Share Subdivision.
A circular containing, amongst other things, further details of the Share Subdivision, the trading arrangements in respect of the Subdivided Shares and the procedure for the free exchange of Existing Share Certificates, together with the notice of the SGM, will be despatched to the Shareholders as soon as practicable.
PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OF SHARES AND CHANGE OF BOARD LOT SIZE
The Board proposes that each of the existing issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company be subdivided into five shares of HK$0.002 each. The Share Subdivision will become effective upon the fulfillment of the following conditions:
-
(a) the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the Share Subdivision by the Shareholders at the SGM; and
-
(b) the GEM Listing Committee granting the listing of and permission to deal in the Subdivided Shares.

Save for the costs to be incurred by the Company in implementing the Share Subdivision, the Share Subdivision will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportional interests of the Shareholders in the Company. The Board considers that the Share Subdivision will not have any adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.
The Shares are currently traded in board lots of 8,000 Shares. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the Subdivided Shares will be traded in board lots of 20,000 Subdivided Shares. The change of board lot size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders. No odd lots of Subdivided Shares will be resulted from the Share Subdivision and the change of the board lot size, other than those already existed before the Share Subdivision becoming effective.
The Board believes that the Share Subdivision coupled with the change in board lot size may facilitate trading and improve the liquidity of the Subdivided Shares, thereby enabling the Company to attract more investors and broaden its shareholder base. Accordingly, the Board considers the Share Subdivision to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders.
Shareholding Structure
As at the date of this announcement, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$10,000,000, divided into 1,000,000,000 Shares, of which 556,400,000 Shares are issued and fully paid. Assuming that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased after the date of this announcement and prior to the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the effect of the Share Subdivision is set out as follows:
| Prior to the | After the | |
|---|---|---|
| Share Subdivision | Share Subdivision | |
| Par value of each share | HK$0.01 | HK$0.002 |
| Number of authorised shares | 1,000,000,000 | 5,000,000,000 |
| Authorised share capital | HK$10,000,000 | HK$10,000,000 |
| Number of shares in issue | 556,400,000 | 2,782,000,000 |

| Unissued share capital | HK$4,436,000 | HK$4,436,000 |
The Subdivided Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the Share Subdivision will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
