INTRODUCTION

On 12 October 2020 (after trading hours), the Company entered into the Subscription Agreements with the Subscribers, pursuant to which the Subscribers have conditionally agreed to subscribe for, and the Company has conditionally agreed to allot and issue an aggregate of 53,350,000 Subscription Shares at the Subscription Price of approximately HK$0.90 per Subscription Share.

The obligations of each of the Subscribers under the Subscription Agreements are several (not joint or joint and several) and their rights are separate and independent. No placing agent has been appointed for the Subscriptions.

THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENTS

Date: 12 October 2020 (after trading hours)

Parties:

  • (i) the Company, as the issuer; and

  • (ii) Mr. Yang Daqiao (being Subscriber I), Ms. Zhang Huan (being Subscriber II) and Mr. Qi Shaobin (being Subscriber III), as the subscribers.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Subscribers are all Independent Third Parties. Upon completion of the Subscriptions, none of the Subscribers will become a substantial Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules).

Subscription Shares

Subject to the fulfilment of conditions set out below, the Subscribers shall subscribe an aggregate of 53,350,000 Subscription Shares. The aggregate nominal value of the Subscription Shares will be US$533,500.

As at the date of this announcement, the Company has 1,410,300,000 Shares in issue. Assuming that there will be no change in the number of issued Shares between the date of this announcement and the Completion Date, the 53,350,000 Subscription Shares represent:

  • (i) approximately 3.78% of the existing issued Shares of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and

  • (ii) approximately 3.64% of the issued Shares of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares.

2

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 1.10% to the closing price of HK$0.91 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 12 October 2020, being the closing price on the date of the Subscription Agreements; and

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 0.44% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.904 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Subscription Agreements.

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and each of the Subscribers with reference to the prevailing market price, the recent trading performance of the Shares and the current challenging operating environment and economic uncertainties. The Directors consider that the Subscription Price and the terms of the Subscription Agreements are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions of the Subscriptions

The Subscriptions are conditional upon the fulfilment of the following conditions:

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

  • (ii) the Company and the Subscribers having obtained all necessary consents and approvals, and approvals and consents from the relevant governmental and regulatory bodies, in respect of the Subscription Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and complied with the relevant laws and regulations (including but not limited to the laws and regulations of the PRC and Hong Kong and the Listing Rules); and

  • (iii) the accuracy and completeness of all representations that the Company makes to the Subscribers and all information that the Company furnishes to the Subscribers in connection with the Subscriptions remaining true, accurate, complete and not misleading in material aspects.

The Company shall endeavour to fulfil all the conditions set out above. Except condition (i) and condition (ii), the Subscribers, may waive the above conditions by issuing a written notice to the Company. In the event that any of the above conditions is not fulfilled or waived on or before 30 October 2020 (or such other day as the Company and the Subscriber may agree), all obligations and liabilities (except for certain surviving clauses of the Subscription Agreements) of the Company and the Subscribers shall cease and terminate.

Ranking of the Subscription Shares

The Subscription Shares, when fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects among themselves and with the Shares in issue or to be issued by the Company on or prior to the date of completion of the Subscriptions, including the rights to all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid at any time after the date of allotment.

Lock-up restriction

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, each of the Subscribers undertakes to the Company that, upon the Completion and up to the end of 12-month period after the Completion, each of them will not dispose of any of the Subscription Shares.

Application for listing

An application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the granting of listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares.

General Mandate to issue the Subscription Shares

The Subscription Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the General Mandate granted to the Directors at the AGM. Up to the date of this announcement, no Share has been issued under the General Mandate. The maximum number of Shares that can be issued under the General Mandate is 282,060,000 Shares. The General Mandate is sufficient for the allotment and issue of all the Subscription Shares. As such, the issue of the Subscription Shares is not subject to further Shareholders’ approval. The General Mandate will be utilised as to approximately 18.91% upon the allotment and issue of all the Subscription Shares.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTIONS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Board considers that the Subscriptions represents a good opportunity for the Company to raise additional funds for general working capital and to widen the Company’s shareholder base. The Subscribers, with tourism and internet industry resources, are strategic long-term investors. It is intended that the Subscribers and the Group will carry out comprehensive cooperation in the offline channel development of electronic navigation business, SaaS (software-as-a-service) of smart scenic spots and other fields. As such, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Subscription Agreements are entered into upon normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4

The gross proceeds from the Subscriptions will be approximately HK$48.0 million. The net proceeds, after deduction of all relevant expenses are expected to be approximately HK$47.9 million. The net proceeds are intended to be used for (1) operating expenses of the Group such as hiring additional employees, including SaaS engineer(s), project manager(s) and sales manager(s), to enrich the Group’s human resources on SaaS segment to solidify the leading role of the Group in the technical aspect of the market, and procuring advanced hardware and software equipment to increase the Group’s productivity; and (2) equity acquisition and investment of high-quality enterprises associated with the Company’s business. The management of the Company believes that by acquiring the leading SaaS system company of smart scenic spots in the PRC, it is committed to creating an enterprise level service ecosystem of “hardware + software + service”, and providing customers with efficient, convenient and low-cost SaaS services in cloud smart scenic spots, in consideration of the great market space of the Group’s large-scale tourism and ecological development model.

The net Subscription Price will be about HK$0.90 per Share.
