CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.
Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the main board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 24 March 2021 in relation to, among other things, the Share Consolidation.
The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders, among other things, further information regarding (i) the proposed Share Consolidation; and (ii) the notice of the EGM.
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The Board intends to put forward a proposal to the Shareholders to effect the Share Consolidation which involves the consolidation of every five (5) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value HK$0.01 each into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of HK$0.05 each.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following:
-
(i) the passing of the ordinary resolution(s) by the Shareholders to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM;
-
(ii) the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under the laws of the Cayman Islands (where applicable) and the GEM Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation; and
-
(iii) the GEM Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation.
The Share Consolidation will become effective on Friday, 30 April 2021, being the second Business Day immediately following the fulfillment of the above conditions.
Effects of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$15,000,000 divided into 1,500,000,000 Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 698,000,000 Existing Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue from the Latest Practicable Date to the effective date of the Share Consolidation, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$15,000,000 divided into 300,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.05 each, of which 139,600,000 Consolidated Shares (which are fully-paid or credited as fully-paid) will be in issue.
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Company’s articles of association. No fractional Consolidated Shares will be issued by the Company. Any fractional entitlements of the Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.
Currently, the Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in the board lot size of 10,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain as 10,000 Consolidated Shares. 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 Group or the interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares which may arise.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Odd lots arrangements and matching services
In order to alleviate the difficulties arising from the existence of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed Gransing Securities Co., Limited as an agent to stand in the market to provide matching services, on a best efforts basis, to the Shareholders for the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares at the relevant market price per Consolidated Share and the matching period commences from 9: 00 a.m. on Friday, 14 May 2021 to 4: 00 p.m. on Friday, 4 June 2021 (both days inclusive). Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the Consolidated Shares or top up to a full board lot may, directly or through their brokers, contact Ms. Annie Wong of Gransing Securities Co., Limited at Unit 2508, 25/F, Cosco Tower, 183 Queen’s Road Central, Central, Hong Kong or by phone at (852) 3162-6888 during office hours.
Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares are not guaranteed. Any Shareholder who is in any doubt about the odd lots arrangements is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
Exchange of share certificates
Subject to the Share Consolidation having become effective, Shareholders may, during the period from Friday, 30 April 2021 to Tuesday, 8 June 2021, submit the existing share certificates for the Existing Shares to the Registrar at Suite 1601, 16/F, Central Tower, 28 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares. Thereafter, existing share certificates for Existing Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for new share certificates for Consolidated Shares at the expense of the Shareholders on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may be allowed by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each existing share certificate cancelled or each new share certificate issued for Consolidated Shares (whichever is higher) but are not acceptable for delivery, trading and settlement purposes.
The new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be issued in green colour in order to distinguish them from the existing yellow colour.
Listing and Dealings of the Consolidated Shares
Application will be made to the GEM Listing Committee for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue arising from the Share Consolidation.
Subject to the granting of 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 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
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
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. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS.
None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt any other any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is bring or is proposed to be sought.
REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION
Under Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of an issuer approaches the extremities of HK0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the issuer may be required by the Stock Exchange either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities.
Pursuant to the ‘‘Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions’’ issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated on 1 October 2020 (the ‘‘Guideline’’), the expected board lot value should be greater than HK$2,000 per board lot taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the closing price of each Existing Share is HK$0.054, with a board lot size of 10,000 Existing Shares, the existing board lot value is only HK$540, which is less than HK$2,000.
In order to reduce transaction and registration costs incurred by the Shareholders and investors of the Company, the Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation. It is expected that the Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment to the share price per board lot, and increase the value of each board lot of the Consolidated Shares to more than HK$2,000.
Assuming the Share Consolidation had become effective, based on the closing price of HK$0.054 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.27 per Consolidated Share) as at the Latest Practicable Date, the theoretical value of each board lot of 10,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,700.
Accordingly, the Board believes that the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Board proposes to implement the issue of rights shares on the basis of one (1) rights share for every two (2) Consolidated Shares at the subscription price of HK$0.215 per rights share (the ‘‘Rights Issue’’) for gross proceeds of up to approximately HK$15.0 million. The Rights Issue is on a nonunderwritten basis. The Rights Issue is not conditional upon approval by the Shareholders whereas is conditional upon fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue. Accordingly, the Rights Issue may or may not proceed. For details of the Rights Issue, please refer to the announcement of the Company dated 24 March 2021.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Other than the Rights Issue, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate actions in the next 12 months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Consolidation, and the Company did not have any concrete plan to conduct any fund raising activities in the next 12 months. However, the Board cannot rule out the possibility that the Company will conduct debt and/or equity fund raising exercises when suitable fund raising opportunities arise in order to support future development of the Group. The Company will make further announcement in this regard in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules as and when appropriate.
Closure of register of members
The register of members of the Company will be closed from Thursday, 22 April 2021 to Wednesday, 28 April 2021 (both days inclusive) for determining the identity of the Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the EGM. No transfer of the Existing Shares will be registered during the above book closure period.
Shareholders and potential investors should note that the Share Consolidation is conditional upon satisfaction of the conditions as set out in the paragraph headed ‘‘Conditions of the Share Consolidation’’ above. Accordingly, the Share Consolidation may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Existing Shares. If they are in doubt, they should consult their professional advisers.
EGM
The EGM will be convened and held for the Shareholders at 9: 00 a.m. on Wednesday, 28 April 2021 at Room 1703–1704, World-Wide House, 19 Des Voeux Road Central, Central, Hong Kong, to consider, if thought fit, approve, among other things, the Share Consolidation. In compliance with the GEM Listing Rules, the resolution will be voted on by way of poll at the EGM.
To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders has a material interest in the Share Consolidation and accordingly, no Shareholders will have to abstain from voting at the EGM.
The notice convening the EGM is set out on pages EGM-1 to EGM-2 of this circular. A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM, you are requested to complete the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Registrar at Suite 1601, 16/F, Central Tower, 28 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong as soon as possible but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time scheduled for the EGM or any adjournment thereof.
