  • (d) the approval by the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Conversion Shares upon exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Bonds II.

Apart from the above, all terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds II remain unchanged.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Conditions (b) and (c) have been fulfilled.

Amendment of CB I Terms and Amendment of CB II Terms are not inter-conditional.

Save as disclosed herein, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, all remaining Bondholders A and Bondholder B are third party independent of the Company and its Connected Persons as at the Latest Practicable Date.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT

The Company has discussed with Bondholders A and Bondholders B to extend the maturity date of Convertible Bonds I and Convertible Bonds II respectively. After the negotiations, they agreed to extend the respective maturity date of Convertible Bonds I and Convertible Bonds II and amend the interest payment dates and entered into the Deed of Amendment I and the Deed of Amendment II with Bondholders A and Bondholders B respectively. For Bondholders B, they also agreed to reduce the interest rate of the Convertible Bonds II from 7.5% to 5% per annum.

After due consideration, the Company is of the view that it is to the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders to enter into the Deed of Amendment I and the Deed of Amendment II to amend the terms of the Convertible Bonds I and the Convertible Bonds II due to the following reasons:

  • (i) Given the current financial situation of the Company, if the Extension is not obtained, the Company would have to exercise its discretion to compulsorily convert all the outstanding Convertible Bonds I and Convertible Bonds II into Conversion Shares which will greatly dilute the existing Shareholders’ interests in the Company. With reference to the Company’s annual result announcement for the year ended 31 March 2014 on 27 June 2014, the cash and bank balance, the total borrowings and the interest payable for Convertible Bonds I and Convertible Bonds II as at 31 March 2014 were HK$59,102,000, HK$96,337,000, HK$11,570,000 and HK$54,509,000 respectively;

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) the Company is able to maintain a good investors’ relationship with Bondholders A and Bondholders B, which is beneficial, if and when the Company plans to undertake fund raising activity in the future; and

  • (iii) the Company considers that amendment of the interest payment dates of Convertible Bonds II is for the sake of consistency and administrative convenience, while for Convertible Bonds I, the interest payment interval is changed from semi-annually to quarterly as a compensation to Bondholders A for the Extension and also for the sake of consistency.

The proposed Amendment of Terms is arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Bondholders A and the Bondholders B respectively. The Board considers that the terms and conditions of the Deed of Amendment I and the Deed of Amendment II are fair and reasonable and that the Amendment of Terms is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

EFFECT ON THE SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY
