CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high 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 of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

-
(v) any suspension in the trading of securities generally or the Company’s securities on GEM for a period of more than 15 consecutive Business Days, excluding any suspension in connection with the clearance of the announcement, the circular or other documents in connection with the CSE Subscription; or

The issue of the BA Convertible Bonds and the issue of CSE Convertible Bonds are conditional upon the Proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital while the issue of the BA Convertible Bonds and the issue of the CSE Convertible Bonds are not inter-conditional and both the issue of the BA Convertible Bonds and the CSE Convertible Bonds are not inter-conditional upon the Acquisition, the issue of the Settlement Convertible Bond to Riche and the entering into of the CJV Partner’s Corporate Guarantee.
REASON FOR THE ISSUE OF BA CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND CSE CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Directors consider the BA Convertible Bonds and the CSE Convertible Bonds represent standby credit facilities to the Company, which allow the Company to raise additional funds for its general working capital and/or to repay its borrowings as and when need. In addition, the Directors consider that the issue of the BA Convertible Bonds and/or the issue of the CSE Convertible Bonds are appropriate means of raising additional funds for the Company since they will not have an immediate dilution effect on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders. The net proceeds from the issue of the BA Convertible Bonds and the CSE Convertible Bonds in full amount to approximately HK$100 million and HK$60 million respectively.
The Directors consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement and CSE Subscription Agreement, which were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber and CSE, are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Board is of the opinion that the conversion prices of the BA Convertible Bonds and the CSE Convertible Bonds are fair and reasonable as the BA Convertible Bonds and the CSE Convertible Bonds do not carry any interest and the discounts on the conversion prices represent the interest components of the respective bonds.

-
(ii) the outstanding principal amount of such bond(s) after the conversion, if any;

-
(c) if the Company forms the view that any issue of conversion shares will trigger the disclosure requirements under Rule 17.10 of the GEM Listing Rules, then the Company is obliged to make such disclosures regardless of the issue of any announcements in relation to such bond(s) as mentioned in (a) and (b) above.
— 24 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
