To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

(1) PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION OF ISSUED SHARES, SHARE PREMIUM REDUCTION AND SUB-DIVISION OF UNISSUED SHARES; AND (2) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 27 January 2022 in relation to the proposed Capital Reduction, Share Premium Reduction and Sub-division.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, information regarding the proposed Capital Reduction, Share Premium Reduction and Sub-division and the special resolution to be proposed at the EGM for the proposed Capital Reduction, Share Premium Reduction and Sub-division, and to give you notice of EGM in order to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolution to be proposed.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION OF ISSUED SHARES, SHARE PREMIUM REDUCTION AND SUB-DIVISION OF UNISSUED SHARES

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$300,000,000 divided into 1,500,000,000 Shares, of which 231,264,988 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. The Board proposed the Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Sub-division to be implemented in the following manner:

  • (i) the par value of each of the issued Shares be reduced from HK$0.20 to HK$0.01 per issued Share by cancelling the paid-up share capital to the extent of HK$0.19 per issued Share;

  • (ii) the reduction of the amount standing to the credit of the Share Premium Account, which shall be effective when the Capital Reduction becomes effective;

  • (iii) the credit arising from the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction will be applied towards offsetting the accumulated losses of the Company (the ‘‘Accumulated Losses’’) as at the effective date of the Capital Reduction in a manner as permitted by all applicable laws and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and as the Board considers appropriate. The balance of the credit (if any) of the Share Premium Account after offsetting the Accumulated Losses will be applied by the Company in any manner as permitted by all applicable laws and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company;

  • (iv) immediately following the Capital Reduction, each of the authorised but unissued Shares with par value of HK$0.20 each be sub-divided into 20 New Shares with par value of HK$0.01 each; and

  • (v) each of the New Shares arising from the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other and will have rights and privileges and be subject to the restrictions contained in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date on which the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division become effective, the share capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

Immediately after the
Capital Reduction and the
As at the Latest Sub-division becoming
Practicable Date effective
Par value HK$0.20 per Share HK$0.01 per New Share
Amount of the authorised share capital HK$300,000,000 HK$300,000,000
Number of authorised shares 1,500,000,000 30,000,000,000
Amount of the issued share capital HK$46,252,997.60 HK$2,312,649.88
Number of issued shares 231,264,988 Shares 231,264,988 New Shares

As at the Latest Practicable Date, 231,264,988 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that the par value of each of the 231,264,988 issued Shares will be reduced from HK$0.20 to HK$0.01 per issued Share by cancelling the paidup share capital to the extent of HK$0.19 per issued Share by way of a reduction of capital, so as to form issued New Shares with par value of HK$0.01 each, the Company’s existing issued share capital of HK$46,252,997.60 will be reduced by HK$43,940,347.72 to HK$2,312,649.88.

Reasons for and effects of the Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Subdivision

The proposed Capital Reduction and Sub-division will enable the par value of the Shares to be reduced from HK$0.20 to HK$0.01 each. The credit arising from the Capital Reduction and the Share Premium Reduction will be applied towards offsetting the Accumulated Losses as at the effective date of the Capital Reduction, thereby reducing the Accumulated Losses. The balance of the credit (if any) of the Share Premium Account after offsetting the Accumulated Losses may be applied by the Company in any manner as permitted by all applicable laws and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.

The Board is of the opinion that the proposed Capital Reduction and Share Premium Reduction will give greater flexibility to the Company to declare dividends and/or to undertake any corporate exercise which requires the use of distributable reserves in the future, subject to the Company’s performance and when the Board considers that it is appropriate to do so in the future.

Since the Shares were trading below par value recently and are currently trading very near to par value, the Board considers that the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division will enable the nominal or par value of the Shares to be reduced from HK$0.20 to HK$0.01 each, for the purpose of further enhancing flexibility to the Company to issue new shares in the future given that the Company is not permitted, without order of the Court, to issue new shares below their nominal or par value. It is important for Shareholders to note that, at

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

this stage, there can be no assurance that any dividends will be declared or paid in the future, or that the Company will issue New Shares, even if the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division take effect.

As such, the Directors are of the view that the Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Sub-division are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Save for applying the credit arising from the Capital Reduction towards offsetting the Accumulated Loss and the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Sub-division, the Directors consider that the Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Sub-division will have no effect on the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportional interests of the Shareholders in the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has (i) no intention to carry out other corporate action or arrangement, including share consolidation, share sub-division and capital reduction, in the next 12 months; and (ii) no concrete plan or intention to conduct any equity fund raising exercise, including the issuance of equity securities, in the next 12 months. However, the Company cannot rule out the possibility of conducting equity fund raising exercises when required by business development and expansion in the future, relief of liabilities and/or suitable fund raising opportunities arise. The Company will make further announcement(s) as and when appropriate in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Conditions of the Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Sub-division

The Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Sub-division are conditional on the following conditions being fulfilled:

  • (i) the Shareholders’ approval by way of special resolution at the EGM to be convened and held to consider and, if thought fit, approve, among other things, the Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Sub-division;

  • (ii) an order being made by the Court confirming the Capital Reduction;

  • (iii) compliance with any terms and conditions which the Court may impose for the Capital Reduction to be effective;

  • (iv) registration by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands of a copy of the order of the Court confirming the Capital Reduction and the minutes approved by the Court containing the particulars required under the Companies Act with respect to the Capital Reduction; and

  • (v) the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Sub-division will become effective when the conditions mentioned above are fulfilled. Upon the approval by the Shareholders of the Capital Reduction, the Share Premium Reduction and the Subdivision at the EGM, the legal advisers to the Company (as to Cayman Islands law) will apply to the Court for hearing date(s) to confirm the Capital Reduction and a further announcement will be made by the Company as soon as practicable after the Court hearing date(s) is confirmed.

Listing of and dealing in the New Shares

Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division.

The New 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 New Shares on the Stock Exchange, the New 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 New Shares on the 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 settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

None of the share capital or debt 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.

Free exchange of certificates for New Shares

As the Court hearing date(s) has yet to be fixed, the effective date of the Capital Reduction is not ascertainable at present. Should the Capital Reduction and the Subdivision become effective, Shareholders may submit existing certificates for the Shares (in red colour) to the Share Registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong for exchange, at the expense of the Company, within one month from the effective date of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division, for certificates for the New Shares (in grey colour). Details of such free exchange of share certificates will be announced as soon as the effective date of the Capital Reduction and the Sub-division is ascertained.

All existing certificates of the Shares will continue to be evidence of title to such Shares and be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purpose.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY SHAREHOLDERS

A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages 12 to 14 of this circular. At the EGM, a special resolution will be put forward to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the proposed Capital Reduction, Share Premium Reduction and Sub-division.

To the best of knowledge of the Directors, no Shareholders have a material interest in the proposed Capital Reduction, Share Premium Reduction and Sub-division and accordingly no Shareholders will be required to abstain from voting at the EGM.
