INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 15 April 2024 in relation to, among other matters, the Capital Reorganisation and the Change in Board Lot Size. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with more information regarding the Capital Reorganisation and the Change in Board Lot Size and to give you the notice of the SGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is US$250,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Existing Shares of par value of US$0.05 each, of which 1,328,977,000 Existing Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

The Board proposes to implement the Capital Reorganisation which comprises the following:

  • (i) the Share Consolidation whereby every ten (10) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value of US$0.05 each will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of US$0.5 each;

  • (ii) immediately following the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Capital Reduction whereby the issued share capital of the Company will be reduced from an amount of US$66,448,850.00 to an amount of US$132,897.70 such that the par value of each issued Consolidated Share will be reduced from US$0.5 to US$0.001 by (a) an elimination of any fraction of a Consolidated Share arising from the Share Consolidation in order to round down the total number of the Consolidated Shares to a whole number, where applicable; and (b) a cancellation of US$0.499 of the paid-up capital of the Company on each issued Consolidated Share so that each issued Consolidated Share will be treated as one (1) fully paid-up share of par value of US$0.001 each in the share capital of the Company;

  • (iii) immediately following the Capital Reduction, the Sub-Division whereby each of the then authorised but unissued Existing Shares of par value of US$0.05 each will be sub-divided into fifty (50) New Shares of par value of US$0.001 each;

  • (iv) subject to and forthwith upon the Capital Reduction and Sub-Division taking effect, the Authorised Capital Diminution whereby all of the authorised but unissued Shares with a par value of US$0.001 each in the share capital of the Company will be cancelled, and the authorised share capital of the Company of US$250,000,000 will be diminished by such amount representing the amount of Shares so cancelled, and forthwith upon the Authorised Capital Diminution, the Authorised Capital Increase whereby the authorised share capital of the Company will be increased to US$500,000 by the creation of such number of Shares with a par value of US$0.001 each as shall represent the difference between 500,000,000 Shares with a par value of US$0.001 each and the number of Shares with a par value of US$0.001 in issue after the Capital Reduction;

  • (v) immediately following the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the Share Premium Reduction whereby an amount of RMB615,656,000 standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account will be reduced to zero; and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (vi) upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the credits arising from the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction in the total amount of approximately US$151,469,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB1,095,120,000) will be transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act to then be applied to set off the Accumulated Losses or be applied by the Board in a manner as permitted by the Bye-laws and all applicable laws of Bermuda from time to time without further authorisation from the Shareholders.

Effects of the Capital Reorganisation

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to the Capital Reduction, the issued share capital of the Company will be reduced from US$66,448,850.00 to US$132,897.70, and a credit in the amount of US$66,315,952.30 (equivalent to approximately RMB479,464,000) will arise in the accounts of the Company. It is proposed that such credit will be transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act and be applied to set off the Accumulated Losses or be applied by the Board in a manner as permitted by the Bye-laws and all applicable laws of Bermuda from time to time without further authorisation from the Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding convertible securities, options or warrants in issue which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Existing Shares, Consolidated Shares or New Shares.

Save for applying the credit arising from the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction towards offsetting the Accumulated Losses, and other than the relevant expenses, including but not limited to professional fees and printing charges to be incurred in relation to the Capital Reorganisation, the implementation of the Capital Reorganisation will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders. The Board believes that the Capital Reorganisation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.

Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation

The Capital Reorganisation is conditional on the following conditions being fulfilled:

  • (i) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM to approve the Capital Reorganisation;

  • (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the approval for listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective;

  • (iii) the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the Companies Act and applicable laws of Bermuda to effect the Capital Reorganisation, which includes the Directors being satisfied that on the date the Capital Reorganisation is to take effect, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Capital Reorganisation would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due;

  • (iv) the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the Bye-Laws, the laws of Bermuda and the Listing Rules to effect the Capital Reorganisation; and

  • (v) the obtaining of all necessary approvals from or filings with the relevant regulatory authorities and/or the Bermuda Registrar of Companies, as appropriate, or otherwise as may be required in respect of the Capital Reorganisation.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Listing Application

An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the New 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 New 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 New Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.

None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective, the New Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt 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.

Status of the New Shares

Upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the New Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu in all respects with each other as to all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid in accordance with the Company’s memorandum of association and the Bye-laws.

THE CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The Existing Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in the board lots of 1,000 Existing Shares. It is proposed that, subject to and conditional upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange be changed from 1,000 Existing Shares to 2,000 New Shares.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.118 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$1.18 per New Share) as at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the market value of each board lot of 1,000 Existing Shares is HK$118; (ii) the market value of each board lot of 1,000 New Shares would be HK$1,180, assuming the Capital Reorganisation had become effective; and (iii) the estimated market value of each board lot of 2,000 New Shares would be HK$2,360 on the assumption that the Change in Board Lot Size had also become effective.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Change in Board Lot Size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

Exchange of certificates for New Shares

Subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be Thursday, 20 June 2024, Shareholders may on or after Thursday, 20 June 2024 and until Monday, 29 July 2024 (both days inclusive), submit their existing share certificates in yellow colour for the Existing Shares to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong for exchange for new share certificates in blue colour for the New Shares at the expense of the Company.

Shareholders should note that after the prescribed time for free exchange of new share certificates, a fee of HK$2.5 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange) will be payable by the Shareholders for each share certificate for the Existing Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the New Shares, whichever the number of certificates cancelled/issued is higher.

After 4:10 p.m. on Thursday, 25 July 2024, trading will only be in New Shares, the share certificates of which will be issued in blue colour. Existing share certificates in yellow colour for the Existing Shares will remain valid and effective as documents of title and may be exchanged for certificates for New Shares at any time, but will cease to be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes.

Fractional entitlement to New Shares

Fractional New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation, if any, will be disregarded and will not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional New Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefits of the Company.

The Shareholders concerned about losing out on any fractional entitlement are recommended to consult their professional advisers and may wish to consider the possibility of buying or selling the Existing Shares in a number sufficient to make up an entitlement to receive a whole number of the New Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Arrangement on odd lot trading and matching services

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the New Shares, the Company has appointed China Galaxy International Securities (Hong Kong) Co., Limited as an agent to provide matching services, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the New Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the New Shares, during the period from 9:00 a.m. on Friday, 5 July 2024 to 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 25 July 2024 (both dates inclusive). Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Mr. Choy Ho Yin of China Galaxy International Securities (Hong Kong) Co., Limited at 20th Floor, Wing On Centre, 111 Connaught Road Central, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong or at telephone number: (852) 3698 6820 during office hours (i.e. 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.) of such period.

Shareholders should note that matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of New Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders, who are in any doubt about the odd lot arrangement, are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION AND THE CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

Pursuant to Rule 13.64 of the 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. The ‘‘Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions’’ issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated on 1 October 2020 (the ‘‘Guide’’) has further stated that (i) market price of the shares at a level less than HK$0.1 will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules, and (ii) taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected board lot value should be greater than HK$2,000.

Based on the closing price of the Existing Shares of HK$0.118 on the Latest Practicable Date and the current board lot size of 1,000 Existing Shares, the board lot value of the Existing Shares is HK$118. The Capital Reorganisation and the Change in Board Lot Size will reduce the number of new board lots and increases the value of each new board lot. After the Capital Reorganisation and the Change in Board Lot Size have become effective, and based on the closing price of the Existing Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date, the theoretical market board lot value will be HK$2,360. As such, the Board considers that the Capital Reorganisation and Change in Board Lot Size will enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules and reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Shares as a proportion of the market value of each board lot, since most of the banks/securities houses will charge minimum transaction costs for each securities trade. With a corresponding

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

upward adjustment in the trading price of the New Shares, the Board believes that investment in the New Shares would become more attractive to a broader range of investors, thereby improving the liquidity of the New Shares and further broadening the Shareholder base of the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the par value per Existing Share is US$0.05 (equivalent to approximately HK$0.39), which is higher than the closing price of HK$0.118 per Existing Share. Under the Companies Act, the Company may not issue Shares at a discount to the par value of such Shares. The Capital Reorganisation will reduce the par value to US$0.001 (equivalent to approximately HK$0.0078) per New Share, which will provide the Company with flexibility to issue new shares in the future.

Based on the Company’s annual results announcement dated 28 March 2024 for the year ended 31 December 2023, the Company recorded accumulated losses of approximately RMB1,031.8 million as at 31 December 2023. The Board intends to transfer the credits arising from the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction in the total amount of approximately US$151,469,000 (equivalent to approximately RMB1,095,120,000) to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act upon the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction becoming effective, which amount will then be applied in full to set off the Accumulated Losses. The Board takes the view that the offset of the Accumulated Losses will provide the Company with greater flexibility to undertake any corporate exercise which requires the use of the contributed surplus account in the future, subject to the Company’s then performance and financial position.

Although the Capital Reorganisation and the Change in Board Lot Size may lead to the creation of odd lots of Shares owned by the Shareholders, the Company will designate an agent to stand in the market to provide matching services for odd lots of Shares for a period of more than three weeks, which is expected to effectively alleviate the difficulties caused by the creation of odd lots of Shares.

In light of the above, the Board is of the view that the Capital Reorganisation and the Change in Board Lot Size are beneficial to and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate actions in the next 12 months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Capital Reorganisation, and the Company does not have any concrete plan to conduct any fund-raising activities in the next 12 months. However, the Board cannot rule out the possibility that the Company will conduct debt and/or equity fund-raising exercises when suitable fund-raising and/or investment opportunities arise in order to support, among others, working capital requirements and future development of the Group. The Company will make further announcement(s) in this regard in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition, as disclosed in the Company’s announcement dated 13 May 2024, the Company entered into a subscription agreement dated 13 May 2024 (the ‘‘Subscription Agreement’’) with (i) Mr. Zheng Yu Huan, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang and Mr. Zheng Yu Long who are executive Directors and Mr. Li Hung Kong who is a non-executive Director (together, the ‘‘Relevant Directors’’), and (ii) Alliance Food and Beverages (Holding) Company Limited (‘‘Alliance Holding’’), a company owned as to 28% by each of Mr. Zheng Yu Huan, Mr. Zheng Yu Shuang and Mr. Zheng Yu Long and 16% by Mr. Li Hung Kong. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the Company, the Relevant Directors and Alliance Holding have conditionally agreed to, among other matters, set off certain shareholder’s loan owing by the Company to Mr. Zheng Yu Long and certain director’s fees and emoluments owing by the Company to the Relevant Directors, by way of an issuance of new Shares by the Company to Mr. Zheng Yu Long and Alliance Holding (the ‘‘Set-off’’). The Set-off is conditional upon, among others, the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, given that the par value per Existing Share of US$0.05 (being approximately HK$0.39) is substantially higher than the closing price per Share on the Stock Exchange in the past six months preceding and up to the Latest Practicable Date and there is legal restriction against issuing new Shares at a discount to their par value. For further details on the Set-off, please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 13 May 2024. Notwithstanding, the Board’s decision to implement the Capital Reorganisation is independent of and unrelated to the Set-off, and the Board believes that the Set-off has no adverse impact on the Capital Reorganisation.

CONSEQUENTIAL AMENDMENT TO THE BYE-LAWS

Given that pursuant to the Capital Reorganisation, the par value of each Share will be changed from US$0.05 to US$0.001, the Board proposes to amend bye-law 3(1) of the Bye-laws upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective to reflect such change in the par value of each Share (the ‘‘Consequential Amendment’’). The full text of the new bye-law 3(1) of the Bye-laws (marked up against the existing bye-law 3(1) of the Bye-laws to illustrate the Consequential Amendment) is set out below:

‘‘3. (1) The share capital of the Company at the date on which these Bye-laws come into effect shall be divided into shares of US$ ~~0.050~~ .001 each.’’

The Consequential Amendment is subject to the approval by the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the SGM.

Please also refer to the Company’s announcement and circular dated 28 March 2024 and 29 April 2024, respectively, in relation to other proposed amendments to the existing Bye-laws by way of the adoption of an amended and restated bye-laws of the Company (the ‘‘Amended and Restated Bye-Laws’’), which are subject to the approval by the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the forthcoming annual general meeting of the Company.
