The net proceeds from the Placing will be applied as to (i) approximately HK$4.2 million, representing approximately 35.3% of the net proceeds from the Placing, will be used to settle the premium of the performance bonds to be issued by the Group’s bank for two newly awarded contracts; (ii) approximately HK$6.3 million, representing approximately 52.9% of the net proceeds from the Placing, will be used for the upfront costs, including purchase of raw materials and labour costs, of three newly awarded contracts; and (iii) the remaining portion of approximately HK$1.4 million, representing approximately 11.8% of the net proceeds from the Placing, will be used by the Company as general working capital of the Group.
