Unless otherwise defined, terms and expressions used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the prospectus (the “ Prospectus ”) of LH GROUP LIMITED (the “ Company ”) dated 15 May 2018.
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Stock Exchange ”) and Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited (“ HKSCC ”) take no responsibility for the contents of this announcement, make no representation as to its accuracy or completeness and expressly disclaim any liability whatsoever for any loss howsoever arising from or in reliance upon the whole or any part of the contents of this announcement.
This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer or an invitation to induce an offer by any person to acquire, purchase or subscribe for securities. Potential investors should read the Prospectus carefully for detailed information about the Company and the Global Offering described in this announcement before deciding whether or not to invest in the Offer Shares. Any investment decision in relation to the Global Offering should be taken solely in reliance on the information provided in the Prospectus.
This announcement is not for release, publication, distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States (including its territories and possessions, any state of the United States and the District of Columbia). This announcement does not constitute or form a part of any offer or solicitation to purchase or subscribe for securities in the United States. The Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the “ U.S. Securities Act ”). The securities may not be offered or sold in the United States except pursuant to registration or an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. There will be no public offer of securities in the United States.
In connection with the Global Offering, Sinolink Securities (Hong Kong) Company Limited, as stabilising manager (the “ Stabilising Manager ”), its affiliates or any person acting for it, on behalf of the Underwriters, may effect transactions with a view to stabilising or supporting the market price of the Shares at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail for a limited period after the Listing Date. However, there is no obligation on the Stabilising Manager or any person acting for it, to conduct any such stabilising action, which, if commenced, will be done at the absolute discretion of the Stabilising Manager, its affiliates or any person acting for it, and may be discontinued at any time. Any such stabilising activity is required to be brought to an end on the 30th day after the last date for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. Such stabilisation action, if commenced, may be effected in all jurisdictions where it is permissible to do so, in each case in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulatory requirements, including the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilizing) Rules, as amended, made under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Potential investors should be aware that stabilising action cannot be taken to support the price of the Shares for longer than the stabilisation period which begins on the Listing Date and is expected to expire on the 30th day after the last date for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. After this date, no further stabilising action may be taken, demand for the Shares, and therefore the price of the Shares, could fall.
