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 of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

  • for identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Option Price is to be settled by the allotment and issuance of the Consideration Shares in batches, in accordance with the formula and manner as set out in the Deed. The Consideration Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Shang Put Option will be allotted and issued under the Specific Mandate to be approved by the Shareholders at the SGM. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the relevant information relating to the Shang Put Option and to seek approval from the Shareholders for the ordinary resolution set out in the notice of the SGM on pages 25 to 26 of this circular.

BACKGROUND

The Shang Put Option was granted as part of the Group’s engagement in the entertainment business in the PRC through the JV Company. Details of the Subscription, the Shareholder Loan and the Master Services Agreement are set out below.

Shareholders’ Agreement

Date: 28 August 2015 (as supplemented on 21 December 2015) Parties: (i) Lajin, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company; (ii) the JV Partner, a company wholly-owned by Ms. Shang; and (iii) Ms. Shang (as the JV Partner’s guarantor).

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, save that Ms. Shang is engaged by the Group as Group Vice President and CEO of the Group’s TV and movie business and apart from the Master Services Agreement, the JV Partner, the JV Company and Ms. Shang are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.

Subscription

Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, Lajin has subscribed for 510 new JV Shares, representing 51% of the issued capital of the JV Company as enlarged by the new JV Shares, and has paid an aggregate subscription price of US$510 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,000). The subscription price was determined after arm’s-length negotiations between the parties based on the registered capital of the JV Company. Following completion of the Subscription, the JV Partner now holds the remaining 49% of the issued capital of the JV Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Business scope

The JV Company was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on 6 August 2015 and other than its investment in Young Film, the JV Company currently does not conduct any business or hold any assets. Young Film was incorporated in Hong Kong on 10 June 2015 and is principally engaged in investment holding and media business. As at 31 July 2015, Young Film had total assets of RMB1,987,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$2,404,270) and total liabilities of RMB2,003,382 (equivalent to approximately HK$2,424,092), resulting in deficiency of net assets of RMB16,382 (equivalent to approximately HK$19,822). Pursuant to the Shareholders’ Agreement, it is intended by the parties that the JV Company and its subsidiaries shall engage in the business of sourcing and production of media contents.

Shareholder Loan

Pursuant to the terms of the Shareholder Loan Agreement, Lajin has agreed to provide the Shareholder Loan of RMB50 million (equivalent to approximately HK$60.5 million) to the JV Company. It was initially contemplated that the Group would establish certain structured contracts arrangements with two operating companies (including the Media Company) (details of which were set out in the Company’s announcement dated 28 August 2015) and the proceeds of the Shareholder Loan would be advanced to such operating companies. An amount of RMB19.8 million (equivalent to approximately HK$24.0 million) of the Shareholder Loan has been advanced by Lajin to the JV Company and then advanced by the JV Company to the Media Company. In view of the potential implications of the draft PRC Foreign Investment Law proposed by the Ministry of Commerce over structured contracts arrangements in the PRC, the parties have decided to enter into the Master Services Agreement in lieu of the structured contracts arrangements and entered into a supplemental agreement to the Shareholder Loan Agreement to the effect that the proceeds from the Shareholder Loan shall be used solely for payment including prepayment to the Media Company for the services provided under the Master Services Agreement. The aforesaid amount of RMB19.8 million already advanced to the Media Company shall represent prepayment by Young Film under the Master Services Agreement. The parties have agreed that the remaining balance of the Shareholder Loan amounting to RMB31.2 million shall be advanced by Lajin to the JV Company on demand by the JV Company. It is expected that such remaining amount of the Shareholder Loan will be advanced to the JV Company in the first quarter of 2016. The Shareholder Loan provided by Lajin to the JV Company is unsecured, interest-free and repayable within one month after 31 December 2018, or the occurrence of the following events (the “ Specified Events ”), whichever is earlier:

  • (a) the JV Company fails to apply the Shareholder Loan in accordance with the purpose described in the Shareholder Loan Agreement (as supplemented on 21 December 2015) or other purposes as Lajin agrees to;

— 8 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (b) Young Film and the Media Company fail to enter into the Master Services Agreement; or

  • (c) the Media Company fails to duly perform or breaches any of its contractual obligations under the Master Services Agreement.

Ms. Shang shall procure the Media Company to repay all amounts advanced by the JV Company to the Media Company within 2 weeks of the occurrence of the Specified Events to enable the JV Company to fulfill its repayment obligation under the Shareholder Loan Agreement. In the event that the JV Company fails to fulfill its repayment obligation as a result of the Media Company’s failure, Ms. Shang shall on Lajin’s demand in writing indemnify and keep indemnified fully Lajin against any loss or damage (including all reasonable costs and expenses) Lajin may have suffered or incurred as a result of such failure.

If the JV Company fails to pay any amount payable by it under the Shareholder Loan Agreement on its due date, interest shall accrue on the unpaid sum from the due date to the date of actual payment at a rate of 18% per annum.

The subscription price for the Subscription and the Shareholder Loan amounting to US$510 and RMB50 million (equivalent to approximately HK$60.5 million in aggregate) respectively have been and will be (in respect of the remaining Shareholder Loan yet to be advanced) financed by the Group’s internal resources.

Following the decision by the parties to enter into the Master Services Agreement with the Media Company in lieu of the structured contracts arrangements, the Company will not enter into any agreement with Ms. Shang on the management or operation of 年青時 候影視文化傳媒(北京)有限公司 (Young Times Video Cultural Media (Beijing) Company Limited) (previously defined as OPCO 1 in the Company’s announcement dated 28 August 2015). Ms. Shang has undertaken that during the period that she is employed by the Company, its subsidiaries, related companies and controlled companies (the “ Subject Companies ”) and during the period that the JV Partner holds shares in the JV Company, she, companies in which she holds shares, such companies’ subsidiaries and related companies and entities controlled by her shall not directly or indirectly engage in any business competing with or similar to the business of the Subject Companies.

In the event that Jiaxuan Group Company Limited (being the controlling shareholder of the Company) together with the persons acting in concert with it hold less than 20% of the issued share capital of the Company (the “ Event ”), instead of issuing the Consideration Shares in batches, the Company shall issue all of the outstanding Consideration Shares (being the number of the Total Consideration Shares calculated based on the Accumulated Profit before exercise of the Shang Put Option less any Consideration Shares which have been issued since exercise of the Shang Put Option based on the above formulas) to the JV Partner within 10 days after the date of the Event.

On the basis of an Accumulated Profit of RMB150 million and that there is no change to the total number of JV Shares in issue as at the Option Price Determination Day (the only situation which would reduce the total number of issued JV Shares is a majority of the shareholders of the JV Company passing a resolution to reduce the number of issued JV Shares while the Company (through Lajin), being the majority shareholder of the JV Company, does not intend to pass any such resolution), the maximum Option Price shall be RMB294 million (equivalent to approximately HK$356.36 million based on an exchange rate of RMB0.825 = HK$1.00 as stipulated in the Deed) and the Total Consideration Shares would be 228,438,228 Ordinary Shares, subject to any Shortfall as calculated above. The Total Consideration Shares of 228,438,228 represent (i) approximately 8.12% of the issued Ordinary Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date; (ii) approximately 7.51% of the issued Ordinary Shares as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the aforesaid Total Consideration Shares; and (iii) approximately 5.15% of the issued Ordinary Shares as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the aforesaid Total Consideration Shares and the conversion in full of the Preferred Shares (based on the prevailing conversion price). If the Accumulated Profit exceeds RMB150 million, the Option Price will be calculated as if the Accumulated Profit were RMB150 million. Therefore, the Option Price (and the number of Consideration Shares to be issued by the Company) will be capped based on the Accumulated Profit of RMB150 milion. Such maximum Accumulated Profit was determined after arm’s-length negotiation between the parties having regard to the development potential of the JV Company.

The Option Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties taking into account that it is based on the amount of the Accumulated Profit, the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares by installment based on the amount of net profits achieved by the JV Company in subsequent years following the exercise date of the Shang Put Option, other potential business opportunities Ms. Shang can bring to the Group and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the team of professionals (including producers and artists) which Ms. Shang can recruit for the Group. The issue of the Consideration Shares in batches in accordance with the above formulas provides incentive to Ms. Shang to continue to develop the JV Company and achieve the Accumulated Profit again in the three financial years following exercise of the Shang Put Option. In agreeing to the formulas in relation to the Option Price and the issue and allotment of the Total Consideration Shares in batches, the Company takes into account that the maximum Option Price of RMB294 million is based on an Accumulated Profit of no less than RMB150 million and the Total Consideration Shares will be issued in full only if such Accumulated Profit is achieved again in the next three financial years following exercise of the Shang Put Option or the Company Call Option. Issuing consideration shares in lieu of cash consideration would preserve the Group’s liquidity and introduce Ms. Shang as a shareholder of the Company contributing to the long-term development of the Group.

Company Call Option

Pursuant to the terms of the Deed, upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

  • (i) the JV Partner not having exercised the Shang Put Option;

  • (ii) the listing committee of the Stock Exchange having granted its approval for the listing of and permission to deal in the Consideration Shares and such approval not having been revoked; and

  • (iii) the approval of the Shareholders for the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares having been obtained;

the Company may exercise the Company Call Option by delivery of a written notice to the JV Partner during the 6-month period after the Long Stop Date.

Upon exercise of the Company Call Option, the JV Partner shall dispose of the Option Shares to the Company at the Option Price which shall be calculated and settled in the same manner as set out under the paragraph headed “Shang Put Option” above.

Specific mandate

The issuance of the Consideration Shares will be subject to approval by the Shareholders. In the event that the Specific Mandate is not approved by the Shareholders, the conditions precedent to the exercise of the Shang Put Option and the Company Call Option will not be satisfied and accordingly neither parties will be able to exercise the Shang Put Option or the Company Call Option (as applicable).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As stated under the paragraph headed “Reasons for the Transactions” below, given Ms. Shang’s extensive experience, track record and business network with various professionals in the media business in the PRC, the Directors believe that the cooperation with Ms. Shang in the JV Company will be beneficial to the Group in its development of entertainment businesses including the TV/film production business in the PRC. In the event that the issue of the Consideration Shares is not approved by the Shareholders, Ms. Shang and the Group will continue to hold 49% and 51% equity interests respectively in the JV Company and continue to be entitled to the profits of the JV Company in proportion to their respective shareholding interests. Given the benefits of the cooperation with Ms. Shang as set out above, the Directors are of the view that even in the absence of the options arrangement, the transactions contemplated under the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Shareholder Loan Agreement and the Master Services Agreement would still be fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

Guarantee by Ms. Shang

In consideration of the Company entering into the Deed, Ms. Shang has provided guarantees as to the due observance and performance by the JV Partner of all the agreements, stipulations, terms and conditions contained in the Deed. In the event that the JV Partner fails to observe and perform such agreements, stipulations, terms and conditions in accordance with the Deed, Ms. Shang shall on demand in writing by the Company (a) make good or rectify such default and (b) indemnify and keep the Company fully indemnified against any loss or damage (including all reasonable costs and expenses) the Company may have suffered or incurred as a result of such failure on the part of the JV Partner.

Application for listing

An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in the Consideration Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Movie and TV business

The Group has completed its first movie “The Guest”(不速之客)starring Mr. Leon Lai (黎 明)and Miss Han Chae Young(韓彩英), which was originally planned to be released by end of November. After further evaluation of the theatre schedule taking into account the movies that are expected to be released at the same time, the management considers that it is not the best time to release the movie. The expected release date is therefore postponed to January 2016. In August 2015, the Group has announced the engagement of Ms. Shang to act as the Group’s Vice President and CEO of the Group’s TV and movie business.

Ms. Shang has over 12 years of professional experience in the industry, encompassing the internet, film and television production. During 2006 and 2014, Ms. Shang worked in Sohu, one of the most popular online platform in the PRC. She was the chief editor of Sohu’s entertainment channel (搜狐娛樂頻道) and Sohu Video (搜狐視頻), responsible for content production, distribution and oversight of operation of the Sohu Video Channel. Ms. Shang led a team of 300 members and helped increase the number of audience of Sohu’s Video Channel to over 80 million. She was involved in the production of various popular internet comedies in the PRC including Diors Man ( 屌絲男士 ) and Wonder Lady ( 極品女士 ). In addition to internet comedies, Ms. Shang also produced high-quality internet drama series and variety shows such as “Back in Time” ( 匆匆那年 ) (with hit rate over 1.5 billion for the entire series) and “ 隱秘而偉大 ”. Ms. Shang was also in charge of the overall production of the film “A Hero or Not” ( 煎餅俠 ) which has achieved box office success of more than RMB1 billion in the PRC.

In view of Ms. Shang’s extensive experience and business network in the industry, the Group has agreed to co-invest in the JV Company with Ms. Shang as the Group’s vehicle to engage in the TV/film production business in the PRC. The JV Company (through its wholly-owned subsidiary) will engage the Media Company to produce movies and TV programs pursuant to the Master Services Agreement. A total of 5 movies and 3 TV/ internet drama programs are currently being planned (including those to be produced by the Media Company pursuant to the Master Services Agreement) and their pre-production work (including script writing) has commenced and the production of all of them is expected to commence in 2016. In addition, the Group has signed an investment agreement with a renowned director in Hong Kong for the investment in a series of 3 movies which will be produced in the next three years. The Group will continue to source suitable movies, TV/ internet dramas and entertainment program projects to invest.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Music platform

The Group is developing an integrated music related platform. Such platform will consist of different elements including live broadcast, interaction between audiences and artists, marketing and promotion of music related contents and resources, etc. A small scale trial run of live broadcast programs was conducted successfully. As planned, the first phase of such platform will be launched by mid-2016.

Korean business

The Group has invested in a convertible note of KRW1,123,560,000 (approximately HK$7,490,000), issued by a local Korean production company focusing on the production of TV variety shows. A joint venture company (70% owned by the Group and 30% owned by such Korean company) is being registered in China. The joint venture company will leverage the expertise and experience of the production team of the Korean company to produce creative variety programs for China’s market. The team has already started creating their first program.

Sports events and shows

The Group is organizing a motor car drifting race event in China. The Group will also organize an after-party concert, an exhibition and other shows complementary to the main event. Subject to the permission granted by the relevant authorities, the event is expected to be held in the first half of 2016.

Others

The sourcing of artists and the provision of training are crucial for the entertainment business. The Group is co-operating with an on-line model agency in China in order to help source high potential artists. The Group has also begun a trial run for a few new artists to perform live on an internet platform. The Group is establishing a multi-purpose operation base in the Beijing Economic Technological Area (北京經濟技術開發區) and has recently entered into agreements to acquire two properties therein.

The Directors believe that Ms. Shang will bring in significant opportunities to the JV Company given Ms. Shang’s extensive experience in the media business in the PRC and the business network she has built up over the years with various professionals in the industry as set forth above under the section headed “Movie and TV business”. The granting of the Shang Put Option would give incentive to Ms. Shang in achieving profits for the JV Company.

— 22 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors consider that the Transactions are in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and the terms of the Transactions are on normal commercial terms. Although the Media Company is newly set up in 2015, given Ms. Shang’s extensive experiences and networks in the PRC’s entertainment industry, the Directors consider that the Transactions will further develop the Group’s TV and movie business division and taking into account the calculation of the Total Consideration Shares (as set out under the section headed “The Shang Put Option and the Company Call Option”) and the pricing of the services under the Master Services Agreement on cost basis, the Directors consider that the Transactions are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. The Company intends to finance the above development by its existing internal financial resources and has no plans to conduct equity fund raisings.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Ms. Shang is the Group Vice President and CEO of the Group’s TV and movie business which is one of the Group’s four business segments namely, TV and movie business, music business, sports and shows segment, and online platform segment. Each of the heads of the aforesaid respective business segments reports directly to the two executive Directors, namely, Ms. Wu Li and Mr. Chan Kam Kwan, Jason. Following Completion of the Subscription, Ms. Shang has become a substantial shareholder of the JV Company which is a subsidiary of the Company and therefore is a connected person to the Company at the subsidiary level.

The Media Company is an associate of Ms. Shang and the entering into of the Master Services Agreement between Young Film (an indirect subsidiary of the Company) and the Media Company constitutes a continuing connected transaction for the Company. As the Master Services Agreement was entered into on normal commercial terms or better, and Ms. Shang is a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level, the entering into of the Master Services Agreement is exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and shareholders’ approval requirements under Rule 20.99 of the GEM Listing Rules. The transactions contemplated under the Master Services Agreement is subject to the annual review requirements under Rules 20.53 to 20.57 of the GEM Listing Rules. The JV Company will enter into a directors’ service contract with Ms. Shang in respect of her appointment as a director of the JV Company. Such service contract is fully exempt from the connected transaction requirements under Rule 20.93 of the GEM Listing Rules. Save as aforesaid and disclosed in this circular, the Company is not contemplating any other continuing connected transactions with Ms. Shang.

Given that the exercise of the Shang Put Option is not at the discretion of the Company, the Shang Put Option will be treated as if it was exercised for the purposes of compliance under the GEM Listing Rules. Based on the applicable percentage ratios, the transactions

— 23 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

contemplated under the Shareholders’ Agreement, the Shareholder Loan Agreement and the Shang Put Option constitute a discloseable transaction for the Company and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but is exempt from the shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules. The Consideration Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of the Shang Put Option will be allotted and issued under the Specific Mandate to be approved by the Shareholders at the SGM.

As the Company Call Option is exercisable at the discretion of the Company and involves the acquisition of JV Shares from Ms. Shang (a connected person of the Company), the Company will comply with the relevant requirements under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules when it determines to exercise the Company Call Option.

SGM

The SGM will be convened and held at Unit 4203, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Admiralty, Hong Kong on Thursday, 14 January 2016 at 10:00 a.m. for the purposes of considering and, if thought fit, approving the Specific Mandate. As Ms. Shang or her associates do not hold any interest in Ordinary Shares, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Specific Mandate. If Ms. Shang or her associates hold any Ordinary Shares on the date of the SGM, they will be required to abstain from voting at the SGM on the resolution relating to the Specific Mandate.
