LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 29 June 2021, the Company received a notice of acceptance confirming acceptance of the Company’s application materials in respect of the RMB Share Issue issued by the Shanghai Stock Exchange. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is awaiting for comments from the Shanghai Stock Exchange on our latest submission made on 24 October 2021 and the updated financial information provided on 30 December 2021.

To the knowledge of the Directors, the Company’s application for the RMB Share Issue is being reviewed by the Shanghai Stock Exchange and a meeting of the Listing Committee for the Sci-Tech Board to review the Company’s application has not been scheduled yet. If the Company’s application is reviewed and approved by the Listing Committee, the Company will then submit an application for registration to CSRC for its approval.

In additional to the approval of registration by CSRC, the RMB Share Issue will also be subject to the following:

  • (a) CSRC and the Shanghai Stock Exchange may raise additional inquiries in relation to and/or impose additional requirements for the RMB Share Issue based on the latest market environment and policies. If this happens, the Company will have to provide supplemental information and/or comply with additional requirements before the RMB Share Issue can proceed.

  • (b) After the approval by CSRC, the Company will have to secure a sufficient number of subscriptions at the time of offering and complete the offering within a validity period (usually within 12 months after the approval by CSRC).

The Company has been carrying out and will continue to carry out the plan for the RMB Share Issue in a proactive manner. The Company will make further announcements on material updates and progress in relation to the RMB Share Issue as and when appropriate in accordance with the Listing Rules and applicable laws.

IV. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE RMB SHARE ISSUE AND PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE VALIDITY PERIOD OF THE SPECIFIC MANDATE AND THE AUTHORISATION

The Board considers that the RMB Share Issue will enable the Company to access the PRC capital market by way of equity financing and improve its capital structure while maintaining its international development strategy. The Board considers that the proposed RMB Share Issue will enhance the corporate image of the Company, broaden the Company’s fund raising channels, improve the Company’s capital structure, and further strengthen the financial position of the Group and provide working capital to the Group.

On the above basis, the Board considers that the RMB Share Issue and the extension of the validity period of the Specific Mandate and the Authorisation are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and are beneficial to the sustainable development of the Company.

Notes:

  1. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Minth Holdings Limited was beneficially interested in 450,072,000 Shares. Minth Holdings Limited is wholly-owned by Mr. Chin Jong Hwa and Mr. Chin is therefore deemed to be interested in the entire 450,072,000 Shares held by Minth Holdings Limited. Since Ms. Wei Ching Lien is the spouse of Mr. Chin, Ms. Wei Ching Lien is deemed to be interested in the 450,072,000 Shares in which Mr. Chin is deemed to be interested.

  2. Regardless of whether the over-allotment option is exercised in full, partially or not being exercised at all, the maximum number of RMB Shares to be issued under the RMB Share Issue (including the RMB Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of an over-allotment option, if any) will still be 204,670,588 RMB Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, given the overall cap

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

on the total number of RMB Shares to be issued pursuant to the RMB Share Issue is 204,670,588, subject to market conditions the Board may decide not to have any over-allotment option and determine all 204,670,588 RMB Shares shall be issued under the initial offer of the RMB Share Issue.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, according to the information publicly available to the Company, the public held no less than approximately 61.26% of the Shares issued by the Company. Assuming that the 204,670,588 RMB Shares under the RMB Share Issue are issued to persons who are not connected persons of the Company, the percentage of RMB Shares held by the public with respect to the total number of Shares after the issuance is expected to be approximately 14.98%, the percentage of Hong Kong Shares held by the public with respect to the total number of Shares after the issuance is expected to be approximately 52.09% and the percentage of Shares (both RMB Shares and Hong Kong Shares in aggregate) held by the public with respect to the total number of Shares after the issuance is expected to be approximately 67.07%.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had not entered or proposed to enter into any agreement in relation to subscription of RMB Shares with any connected persons of the Company.
