Subscription Price and Conversion Price

The Subscription Price of HK$0.33 per Share is equivalent to the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.33 per Conversion Share, which represents:

• (i) a discount of approximately 65.63% to the closing price of HK$0.960 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 8 October 2015, being the date of the Subscription Agreement;

• (ii) a discount of approximately 66.19% to the average of the closing price of approximately HK$0.976 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement;

• (iii) a discount of approximately 65.87% to the average of the closing price of approximately HK$0.967 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement; and

• (iv) a premium of approximately 328.6% over the unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to owners of the Company per Share of approximately HK$0.077, based on the latest unaudited net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$215.3 million as at 30 June 2015 and the number of Shares in issue of 2,800,000,000 Shares as at the date of this announcement.

The Subscription Price and the initial Conversion Price have been determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and CMI Hong Kong with reference to the then prevailing market price of the Shares and the unaudited net asset value of the Company as at 30 June 2015. In particular, the Company has taken into account the following factors in determining the Subscription Price and the initial Conversion Price:

• (i) as disclosed in the prospectus of the Company dated 30 June 2014, the Company will raise funds for development of the Bintan Project. The purpose of the Subscription with CMI Hong Kong is to raise funds for the Company for development of the Bintan Project and for future acquisitions. Equity financing by way of the Subscription is more practicable and direct under the current volatile market and the uncertain global market conditions;

• (ii) CMI Hong Kong endorses the Company’s business and in particular the Bintan Project and is considered as a strategic shareholder and not merely an investor. The Board considers that having a strategic investor that shares the same view with the Directors and the Company’s projects to be a distinct advantage from merely identifying an investor for the Company;

8

• (iii) as a newly listed company on the GEM, the Board considers CMI Hong Kong’s willingness to invest in the Company as a positive indication of support to the Company’s business and projects; and

• (iv) the Board has also taken into account the following financial positions of the Company:

• (a) the Group recorded loss attributable to owners to the Company for the six-month period ended 30 June 2015 which was primarily attributable to the effects of the renovation of Link Hotel;

• (b) as at 30 June 2015, the Group had a net current liabilities of approximately HK$13.6 million;

• (c) as at 30 June 2015, the Group had bank borrowings of HK$211.3 million and gearing ratio (calculated by dividing borrowings by equity attributable to owners of the Company) was approximately 1.02;

• (d) the Subscription Price, which is equivalent to the initial Conversion Price, represents a premium of approximately 328.6% over the unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to owners of the Company per Share of approximately HK$0.077 (based on the latest unaudited net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$215.3 million as at 30 June 2015 and the number of Shares in issue of 2,800,000,000 Shares as at the date of the announcement of the Company dated 17 September 2015); and

• (e) the Subscription will enhance the financial position of the Company, the investment capital and net assets value of the Group.

Having taken into account the above factors, the Directors are of the view that the Subscription Price, which is equivalent to the initial Conversion Price, is considered to be reasonable commercial terms following arm’s length negotiations among the parties.

Further, the Directors consider that the Subscription shall (i) broaden the shareholder base of the Company; (ii) provide significant funding to the Company for the development of the Bintan Project; (iii) improve the financial position and liquidity of the Group during the current volatile and uncertain market condition; and (iv) enhance the Company’s business network for its future fund raising and business development. The Directors are also of the view that having CMI Hong Kong, a financially strong and well-experienced investor as the Group’s strategic investor, will not only provide additional funding to the Company and improve its financial position but will also strengthen the Group’s overall investment capability and network which will be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole in long term.

In light of the above, the Directors consider the terms of the Subscription Agreement (including but not limited to discount) are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Potential effects on the shareholding structure of the Company

The Subscription Shares represent (i) approximately 24.64% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; (ii) approximately 19.77% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares; and (iii) approximately 19.35% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares and the Conversion Shares upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price.

The Conversion Shares represent (i) approximately 2.74% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) 2.66% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price; and (iii) 2.15% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares and the Conversion Shares upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price.

2.

The conversion of the Convertible Bonds shall be subject to compliance with the public float requirements under the GEM Listing Rules and the shareholding table shown above is for illustration purpose only.

3. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Bonds, the holder of the Convertible Bonds shall not exercise the conversion right attached to the Convertible Bonds if the issue of Conversion Shares will result in insufficient public float.

10

Specific mandate

The Subscription Shares and the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds will be allotted and issued under a specific mandate to be sought for approval from the Shareholders at the EGM.

Board composition

Subject to the articles of association of the Company and the GEM Listing Rules, CMI Hong Kong shall be entitled to nominate, and the Board shall appoint, two non-executive directors to the Board at Completion, who shall remain in office as long as CMI Hong Kong (assuming that all of the Convertible Bonds have been fully converted) holds more than 5% of the entire issued share capital of the Company. In the event that the Shares held by CMI Hong Kong in the Company is reduced to 5% (assuming that all of the Convertible Bonds have been fully converted), CMI Hong Kong shall procure one of the non-executive directors nominated by it to resign. If CMI Hong Kong ceases to hold any Shares (assuming that all of the Convertible Bonds have been fully converted), CMI Hong Kong shall procure all of the non-executive directors nominated by it to resign.

CMI Hong Kong shall also nominate a person to be appointed as an additional independent non-executive director of the Company at Completion. Such nomination and appointment shall also be subject to the articles of association of the Company and the GEM Listing Rules.

In respect of such nomination rights granted to CMI Hong Kong, Article 58 of the Company’s articles of association provides that any one or more shareholder(s) holding not less than one-tenth of the paid up capital of the Company shall have the right to require an extraordinary general meeting to be called by the Board for the transaction of any business specified, including but not limited to nomination and removal of a director. Thus, the rights to nominate a director by requesting for an extraordinary general meeting is available to all shareholders provided that he/ she/it holds or together with other shareholders hold not less than one-tenth of the entire issued share capital of the Company.

The Company granted the nomination rights on the basis that CMI Hong Kong will have a shareholding interest in the Company exceeding 10% after Completion, and therefore will be entitled to request for an extraordinary general meeting to be called for the purpose of nominating a director to the Board in accordance with the Company’s articles of association as aforesaid.

Based on the above, the Directors are of the view that the granting of the nomination rights to CMI Hong Kong does not violate the relevant provision under the Company’s articles of association.

In respect of the mechanism of appointment of the two non-executive directors and the independent non-executive director, the Company will follow the usual mechanism for the appointment of directors whereby the nomination and corporate governance committee shall review the profile, including the background, experience and integrity, of the proposed candidates nominated by CMI Hong Kong and make recommendations to the Board for further approval. If the proposed candidate does not meet the requirements of being a director of the Company, the Board has the right to reject such proposed candidate.

11

In addition, for the appointment of the independent non-executive director, the nomination and corporate governance committee shall also assess the independence of such proposed candidate to ensure compliance with Rule 5.09 of the GEM Listing Rules. As such, appointment of the directors nominated by CMI Hong Kong shall be subject to the recommendations of the nomination and corporate governance committee and the approval of the Board. In any event, all proposed directors who are appointed shall retire in the next general meeting and subject to Shareholders’ approval for re-election in accordance with the Company’s articles of associations.

When considering whether the nomination rights to be granted to CMI Hong Kong is in the interest of the Company, and is on normal commercial terms, the Directors have considered the potential benefits from the background of CMI Hong Kong as disclosed in the paragraph headed “Information of CMI Hong Kong” below. CMI Hong Kong is indirectly wholly-owned by China Minsheng Investment, a large private investment company in the PRC. The Board believes that, through the appointment of directors to be nominated by CMI Hong Kong which is perceived as a strategic investor of the Company, the Company will be able to leverage on CMI Hong Kong’s extensive network, strong financial and business background and exposure, which will broaden the Company’s business network for its future fund raising and business development.

In view of the above, the Board considered that the grant of the nomination rights is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and is on normal commercial terms.

Pre-emptive rights

The Company agreed that in the event that the Company proposes to issue any Shares after Completion, CMI Hong Kong shall be entitled to pre-emptive rights to subscribe for such number of Shares at the then proposed issue price, in order to retain the shareholding percentage of CMI Hong Kong as at Completion.

Under such pre-emptive rights granted to CMI Hong Kong, the Company has to go through the motion of offering to CMI Hong Kong to subscribe at the same issue price for further Shares in the event that the Company issues further Shares after Completion such that the percentage of shareholding interest held by CMI Hong Kong in the Company (if it elects to accept the offer) will remain the same.

The Company considers that such pre-emptive right granted to CMI Hong Kong is neither a preferential nor an absolute right for CMI Hong Kong to acquire Shares. If CMI Hong Kong elects to acquire additional Shares pursuant to the procedures described above, given that CMI Hong Kong would become a connected person after Completion, the Company would be required to comply with the relevant connected transaction requirements under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules prior to any issue of Shares to CMI Hong Kong after Completion. In the event that CMI Hong Kong holds less than 10% of the then entire issued share capital of the Company, any subsequent subscription by CMI Hong Kong pursuant to the pre-emptive right under the Subscription Agreement will be subject to Independent Shareholders’ approval unless such approval is not required or is otherwise waived by the Stock Exchange.

The Independent Shareholders would therefore have a veto right over the issue of any further Shares to CMI Hong Kong. Accordingly, the pre-emptive right only requires the Company to go through the above motion and the decision as to whether Shares will be ultimately sold to CMI Hong Kong will rest with the Independent Shareholders.

12

In light of the above reasons, the Company considers that the granting of pre-emptive rights to CMI Hong Kong would not contravene the requirement to treat all shareholders fairly and equally under Rule 2.06(4) of the GEM Listing Rules.

Given CMI Hong Kong’s position as a strategic investor of the Company as mentioned above, the Board considers that it is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders to enable CMI Hong Kong maintain its shareholding in the Company, so as to keep CMI Hong Kong financially committed in bringing its benefit as a strategic investor to the Company. The Company may also benefit from additional proceeds being raised in the event that CMI Hong Kong elects to acquire additional Shares after the offer made by the Company. The Directors therefore consider that GEM Rule 2.06(4) is complied with.

If such pre-emptive rights are exercised, the Board will ensure the Company to comply with the relevant connected transaction requirements under Chapter 20 of the GEM Listing Rules, including Independent Shareholders’ approval.

In view of the above, the Board considered that the grant of the pre-emptive rights is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole and is on normal commercial terms.

Use of Proceeds

The aggregate gross proceeds from the Subscription are expected to be approximately HK$253.0 million and the aggregate net proceeds from the Subscription, after the deduction of the professional and other related expenses, are estimated to be approximately HK$250.2 million, representing a net issue price of approximately HK$0.326 per Share issued under the Subscription (including both Subscription Share and Conversion Share). Provided that no Proceeds shall be used in relation to any connected transaction, the Company and CMI Hong Kong agreed to use the Proceeds from the Subscription for:

• (i) the Company’s development of the Bintan Project and the Company’s acquisitions with the prior written consent of CMI Hong Kong;

17

• (ii) the payment of fees and expenses incurred by CMI Hong Kong in connection with the conduct of legal and financial due diligence, including the fees payable to professional advisers for the conduct of such due diligence, and the fees of CMI Hong Kong’s financial adviser engaged in connection with the Subscription;

• (iii) during such time when CMI Hong Kong is a holder of the Convertible Bonds, such reasonable fees and expenses properly incurred by CMI Hong Kong after Completion in connection with CMI Hong Kong’s on-going monitoring of the Company’s activities including without limitation travelling expenses for site visits in relation to the Bintan Project, meetings of the Company attended by directors or other persons nominated by CMI Hong Kong and inspection of the Company’s books and records; and

• (iv) the costs in connection with the preparation by CMI Hong Kong’s lawyers of the letter of intent dated 15 September 2015 and the Subscription Agreement(s) and CMI Hong Kong’s lawyers’ fees incurred in connection with the Subscription.

The Proceeds must be deposited into and kept in a bank account in the name of the Company segregated from other funds of the Company, and CMI Hong Kong shall be entitled to nominate from time to time and have appointed signatories to such bank account with such mandate to the reasonable satisfaction of CMI Hong Kong, provided always such mandate shall provide that no funds may be withdrawn from such bank account without the authorisation from such signatories nominated by CMI Hong Kong.

During such time when CMI Hong Kong is a holder of the Convertible Bonds, the Company shall provide CMI Hong Kong with a monthly budget in respect of the Bintan Project at least seven days prior to the end of each calendar month after Completion. Such budget shall set out in detail reasonably acceptable to CMI Hong Kong, in respect of the Bintan Project, the proposed works and undertakings to be carried out by the Group and the amount of all anticipated capital and operating expenditures in relation to the Bintan Project.

During such time when CMI Hong Kong is a holder of the Convertible Bonds, CMI Hong Kong shall be entitled to inspect the monthly accounts and reports in relation to the use of the Proceeds from time to time upon reasonable notice to the Company.

The information rights, including the right for CMI Hong Kong to inspect the monthly accounts and reports in relation to the use of the Proceeds, have been granted to CMI Hong Kong in its capacity as creditor in order to enable it to monitor the use of the Proceeds. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s obligation to provide such information shall cease when CMI Hong Kong is no longer the holder of the Convertible Bonds.

As a creditor of the Company, through the subscription of the Convertible Bonds, CMI Hong Kong will be able to obtain the Company’s monthly accounts, expenses reports and budget for the next month, only in respect of the Bintan Project, in relation to the use of Proceeds under the Subscription.

The Board considered that such information rights are not given to CMI Hong Kong as a shareholder of the Company, but as a creditor. In addition, the Board considered that the Company’s monthly expenses reports and budget for the next month is not price sensitive in nature, and will not constitute sharing of inside information to CMI Hong Kong which is not otherwise made available to the public. In any event, the disclosure of information to CMI Hong Kong under such information rights will be subject to restrictions under the GEM Listing Rules such as the inside information provisions.

18

Further, if CMI Hong Kong did not proceed with the Subscription, the Company would not be able to obtain financing at such low cost to develop the Bintan Project. The Directors therefore consider that the granting of the information rights to CMI Hong Kong is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION

The Company is an investment holding company and the Group is principally engaged in the operations of the Link Hotel in Singapore.

As disclosed in the Previous Announcements, the Company has engaged an architectural firm to devise the master plan for the Bintan Land which was sub-divided into three portions for development purpose, and the first phase development will comprise three stages. As at the date of this announcement, the local architectural firm has been working closely with the project consultant of the Group to prepare and finalise the plan for the submission to the government for approval. As such, the development plan is still in the process of being finalised and will be subject to the Board’s final approval.

19

Pursuant to the latest draft of the development plan, the first phase of the Bintan Project will comprise the construction of different types of leisure and entertainment complex, including, a beachfront resort, resort hotel, villa, retail village, culture stage and service apartments. Currently, the Company is concentrating first on the re-development of the “Bintan Cabana Beach Resort” into a beachfront resort. The estimated cost for the construction work of beachfront resort, as disclosed in the Previous Announcements, is approximately HK$66.7 million.

Based on the latest draft of the development plan, the project consultant engaged by the Group estimated that the construction cost for the first phase of the Bintan Project, which comprises the construction cost for the beachfront resort, will be approximately HK$470 million, of which HK$51.3 million will be financed by the proceeds received from the Placing. As such, it is agreed by the Board and CMI Hong Kong that the proceeds to be raised from the Subscription shall be applied towards part of the construction cost of the first phase of the Bintan Project.

The Board considers that equity financing by way of the Subscription is an appropriate mean of raising additional capital as (i) it is more practicable and direct under the current volatile market and the uncertain global market conditions; and (ii) it is less costly and minimal financial burden is imposed given that the interest payable to CMI Hong Kong under the Convertible Bonds is at the relatively low interest rate of 0.01% per annum on the outstanding principal, compared to financing by borrowing from banks. In addition, should the Subscription crystallise, the Group could enhance its overall financial position. The Board is also of the view that leveraging on the introduction of CMI Hong Kong, which the Board considers a financially strong and well-experienced investor as the Group’s strategic investor, will also strengthen the Group’s overall investment capability and network.

The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider that the Subscription Agreement is entered into upon normal commercial terms following arm’s length negotiations among the parties and that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS

The Company has not conducted any equity fund raising activities in the past 12 months immediately preceding the date of this announcement.

GENERAL

The EGM will be held to consider and, if thought fit, pass the requisite ordinary resolutions to approve, among other things: (i) the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (ii) the specific mandate for the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares and the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds. CMI Hong Kong and its associates do not currently hold any Shares and will not vote on any of the resolutions.

Completion of the Subscription is conditional upon, among other things, the listing of and permission to deal in the Subscription Shares and Conversion Shares being granted by the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange.
