Dear Sir or Madam,

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information on the Share Consolidation and to give you a notice of the EGM at which resolution will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Share Consolidation.

* For identification purpose

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Company proposes to effect the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every twenty (20) issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.2 each.

The Share Consolidation will become effective upon the fulfillment of the conditions set out in the paragraph headed “CONDITIONS OF THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION” below.

EFFECTS OF THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$300,000,000 divided into 30,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 4,927,865,100 Shares have been allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, on the basis that the Company does not allot, issue or purchase any Shares prior thereto, the authorised share capital of the Company shall become HK$300,000,000 divided into 1,500,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.2 each, of which 246,393,255 Consolidated Shares will have been allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Fraction of Consolidated Shares that arise from the Share Consolidation will not be allotted to the Shareholders otherwise entitled thereto and will be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company.

DEALINGS OF THE CONSOLIDATED SHARES

The Consolidated Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu in all respects with each other as to all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Consolidated Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation thereof will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which the Shareholders may be entitled.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

CONDITIONS OF THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Share Consolidation is conditional on:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM;

  • (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue; and

  • (iii) the approval of the relevant regulatory authority, if any.

LISTING APPLICATION

An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares to be in issue upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

None of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

BOARD LOT SIZE

Currently, the Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in the board lot size of 20,000 Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain as 20,000 Consolidated Shares.

ARRANGEMENT ON ODD LOT TRADING

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares, the Company has appointed Metro Capital Securities Limited to provide matching service, on a best effort basis, for the sale and purchase of odd lots of Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the Consolidated Shares or to top-up their odd lots to a full new board lot should contact Mr. Keith Vong of Metro Capital Securities Limited at Room 3806, 38/F., Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong at telephone number (852) 2511 2880 during office hours during the period as stated in the section headed “EXPECTED TIMETABLE” on pages 3 to 4 of this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION

Pursuant to Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of an issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the issuer may be required either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities. In view of the recent trading price of the Shares, the Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation. The Share Consolidation will enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules. The Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares of the Company, and is expected to bring about a corresponding increase in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares. Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

EXCHANGE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES

The new share certificates will be in the colour of yellow in order to distinguish them from the existing share certificates which are light green in colour. Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is expected to be on 9:00 a.m. on Monday, 20 February 2012, Shareholders may, on or after Monday, 20 February 2012 until 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 28 March 2012 (both days inclusive), submit their share certificates for the Shares to the Company’s share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for certificates of the Consolidated Shares . Thereafter, share certificates for the Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) by the Shareholders for each share certificate issued or cancelled, whichever is higher. Share certificates for the Shares will remain effective as documents of title but will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purpose and may be exchanged for share certificates for Consolidated Shares at any time. It is expected that new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be available for collection on or after the 10th business day following the date of submission of the share certificates for existing Shares to the Company’s share registrar in Hong Kong for exchange.

SHARE OPTION SCHEME

Reference is made to the circular of the Company dated 16 December 2011 in relation to, amongst others, the adoption of the Share Option Scheme and the announcement of the Company dated 12 January 2012 in relation to the results of the extraordinary general meeting held on 12 January 2012.

At the extraordinary general meeting held on 12 January 2012, an ordinary resolution was passed to adopt the Share Option Scheme. The Share Option Scheme shall be valid and effective until the close of business of the Company on the date which falls ten (10) years after the date on which the Share Option Scheme was adopted i.e. 1 3 January 2012.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Under the Share Option Scheme, options to subscribe for 492,786,510 Shares can be issued. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no option has been granted under the Share Option Scheme and the Company has no other outstanding convertible securities, options or warrants in issue which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, options to subscribe for 24,639,325 Consolidated Shares can be issued under the Share Option Scheme.
