(4) PROPOSED PLACING OF SHARES
On 13 June 2012 (after trading hours), the Company entered into the Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent, pursuant to which the Company conditionally agreed to place, through the Placing Agent, a maximum number of 750,000,000 Placing Shares on a best effort basis at a price of HK$0.07 per Placing Share.
Assuming the Capital, Reduction having taken effect, the Placing Shares shall represent approximately 104.32% of the adjusted issued share capital of the Company upon completion of the Capital Reduction based on the existing issued share capital of the Company of 718,962,519 Shares as at the date of this announcement and approximately 51.06% of the then issued share capital of 1,468,962,519 Reduced Shares as enlarged by the Placing. The aggregate nominal value of the Placing Shares under the Placing will be HK$7,500,000.
The Placing Shares will be issued and allotted under a specific mandate to be obtained at the EGM.
GENERAL
An EGM is proposed to be convened for the Shareholders to consider, and if thought fit, to approve the Capital Reduction, increase in authorised share capital and the Placing. A circular containing, among others, details regarding (i) the Capital Reduction; (ii) the Change in Board Lot Size; (iii) the increase in authorised share capital; (iv) the Placing; and (v) a notice convening the EGM, will be despatched to the Shareholders as soon as practicable.
The Placing may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
The Board wishes to announce that the Company proposes to implement the Capital Reduction. Immediately after the Capital Reduction becomes effective, the Company proposes to change the board lot size for trading in the shares and to increase its authorised share capital. The implementation of the Placing is subject to, among other things, the Capital Reduction becoming effective.
(1) PROPOSED CAPITAL REDUCTION
The Board proposes to put forward a proposal to the Shareholders to effect the Capital Reduction pursuant to section 58(3) of the Companies Ordinance.
The authorised capital of the Company will be reduced from HK$400,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.20 each to HK$20,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Reduced Shares of HK$0.01 each and that such reduction be effected by cancelling the paid-up capital to the extent of HK$0.19 on each of the issued Shares and reducing the nominal value of each unissued Share by HK$0.19.
The Capital Reduction is proposed to take effect under section 58(3) of the Companies Ordinance pursuant to which no confirmation by the Court will be required.
– 2 –
Conditions of the Capital Reduction
The Capital Reduction is conditional upon:
-
(a) the passing of the relevant special resolution(s) by the Shareholders to approve the Capital Reduction at the EGM;
-
(b) the registration by the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong of a copy of resolution passed by the Shareholders, a copy of a minute containing the particulars required under section 61A of the Companies Ordinance and a statement in the prescribed form signed by an officer of the Company certifying that the relevant conditions under the Companies Ordinance have been satisfied; and
-
(c) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting listing of, and permission to deal in, the Reduced Shares to be issued following the Capital Reduction becoming effective.
Assuming all the conditions are fulfilled, the Capital Reduction will become effective upon the registration of the documents required under section 61A of the Companies Ordinance.
Effects of the Capital Reduction
As at the date hereof, the authorised capital of the Company is HK$400,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Shares, of which 718,962,519 Shares have been issued and are fully paid. On the basis of the same number of the Shares in issue and upon the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$20,000,000 comprising 2,000,000,000 Reduced Shares, of which 718,962,519 Reduced Shares will be in issue and the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company will become approximately HK$7,189,625.19.
The credit of approximately HK$136,602,878.61 arising from the Capital Reduction will be credited to the share premium account of the Company as required under section 58(3) of the Companies Ordinance.
Implementation of the Capital Reduction does not, by itself, alter the underlying assets, liabilities, businesses, management or financial position of the Group and the Company or the rights of the Shareholders, except for payment of the related expenses. The proportionate interests and the voting rights of the Shareholders in the Company will not be affected by the Capital Reduction.
The Board believes that the Capital Reduction will not have any adverse effect on the financial position of the Company and the Board believes that on the date the Capital Reduction is to be effected, there will be no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Capital Reduction would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due. No capital will be lost as a result of the Capital Reduction and, except for the expenses involved in relation to the Capital Reduction which are expected to be insignificant in the context of the net asset value of the Company, the net asset value of the Company will remain unchanged before and after the Capital Reduction becoming effective. The Capital Reduction does not involve any diminution
– 3 –
of any liability in respect of any unpaid capital of the Company or the repayment to the Shareholders of any paid-up capital of the Company nor will it result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
The Reduced Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the Capital Reduction will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Reduced Shares to be issued upon the Capital Reduction becoming effective.
Free exchange of share certificates
Subject to the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the Shareholders may, during a period specified in the timetable below, submit the existing share certificates for the Shares to the Company’s share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712–1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, during the business hours, in exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates for Reduced Shares. Thereafter, share certificates for the Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange) for each share certificate issued or cancelled, whichever is higher. Certificates for the Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for certificates for Reduced Shares at any time at the expense of the Shareholders after such period. Further details about the arrangement for the exchange of share certificates will be set out in the circular of the Company to be despatched to the Shareholders.
Reasons for the Capital Reduction
The Shares have been trading below their par value of HK$0.20 for a long period of time and under the Companies Ordinance, it is not permissible for a company to issue shares at a discount to the nominal value of its share unless, among other things, it is authorised by the Shareholders and sanctioned by the court. Therefore, unless the par value of each Share is reduced, it will be very difficult for the Company to raise new capital by issuing new Shares. In order to provide the Company with greater flexibility for raising capital by issuing of new Reduced Shares in the future, the Board proposed the Capital Reduction. The Directors consider that the Capital Reduction is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
(2) PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
Subject to the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the Board also proposes to change the board lot size for trading in the shares of the Company from 5,000 Shares to 25,000 Reduced Shares. It is believed that the enlarged board lot size will reduce the overall transaction costs in dealing with the Reduced Shares. The Board is of the opinion that the Change in Board Lot Size is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Save as disclosed herein, the Change in Board Lot Size will not affect any of the Shareholders’ rights.
– 4 –
Arrangement on odd lot trading
In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Reduced Shares which might arise as a result of the Change in Board Lot Size, the Company will appoint Kingston Securities Limited to provide matching service, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Reduced Shares which might arise as a result of the Change in Board Lot Size, to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Reduced Shares. Details of such arrangements for Reduced Shares will be set out in the circular of the Company to be despatched to the Shareholders.
(3) PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL
Subject to the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the Board proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$20,000,000 (divided into 2,000,000,000 Reduced Shares) to HK$200,000,000 (divided into 20,000,000,000 Reduced Shares) by the creation of an additional 18,000,000,000 Reduced Shares of par value HK$0.01 each in order to facilitate any future expansion in the share capital of the Company.
The proposed increase in authorised share capital of the Company is conditional upon the passing by the Shareholders of the relevant ordinary resolution at the EGM.
(4) THE PLACING AGREEMENT
Date: 13 June 2012 (after trading hours)
Parties: The Company and the Placing Agent
Placing Agent
The Placing Agent has conditionally agreed to place a maximum number of 750,000,000 Placing Shares, on a best effort basis. The Placing Agent will receive a placing commission of 2.5% of the aggregate amount equal to the Placing Price multiplied by the actual number of the Placing Shares being placed. The Placing Agent is interested in 1 Share as at the date of this announcement.
To the best of the Director’s knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries and save for the fact that the Placing Agent holds 1 Share as at the date of this announcement, the Placing Agent and its ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties.
Placees
The Placing Agent agreed to place the Placing Shares to not fewer than six Placees (who will be independent professional, institutional or other investor), each of the placees and their respective ultimate beneficial owners shall be a third party independent of and not connected with or acting in concert with the Company or its
– 5 –
connected persons and shall not be connected with each other or acting in concert with each other or any Shareholder. None of the placees and their respective concert parties shall become a substantial Shareholder upon completion of the Placing.
Placing Price
The Placing Price of HK$0.07 represents:
-
(i) a discount of approximately 46.15% to the closing price of HK$0.13 per Reduced Share based on the closing price of HK$0.13 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange at the date of this announcement;
-
(ii) a discount of approximately 45.31% to the average closing price of HK$0.128 per Reduced Share, based on the average closing price per Share of approximately HK$0.128 for the last five consecutive trading days prior to the date of this announcement; and
-
(iii) a discount of approximately 46.15% to the average closing price of HK$0.13 per Reduced Share, based on the average of the closing price per Share of approximately HK$0.13 for the last ten consecutive trading days prior to the date of this announcement.
The Placing Price of HK$0.07 was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and Placing Agent with reference to the prevailing market price and the recent trading volume of the Shares. In view of the unstable economic environment and unfavorable financial market conditions, the Board considers that a lower placing price is required to encourage investments in the Company by the potential placees and the placing price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Placing Shares
Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, a maximum number of 750,000,000 Placing Shares represent (i) approximately 104.32% of the adjusted issued share capital of the Company upon completion of the Capital Reduction based on the Company’s existing issued share capital of 718,962,519 Shares in issue as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 51.06% of its issued share capital as enlarged by the Placing Shares upon completion of the Placing.
The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued under a specific mandate to be obtained, subject to shareholders’ approval, at the EGM. The Placing Shares will rank, when allotted and issued, pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Placing Shares.

On assumption of completion of the Placing, the net proceeds raised upon completion of the Placing will be approximately HK$50.32 million and the net price per Placing Share is approximately HK$0.067. The aggregate nominal value of the Placing Shares under the Placing is approximately HK$7,500,000.
– 8 –
Reasons for the Placing and used of proceeds
The maximum gross proceeds and net proceeds from the Placing will be approximately HK$52.50 million and HK$50.32 million, respectively. The Company intends to utilize the net proceeds for acquisition(s) of property(ies). The target properties under review are of commercial use and include shops and offices. Such target properties are located in Hong Kong. The Company intends to hold the properties as long term investments after acquisition(s). Separate negotiations between the Company and the potential vendors of various target property(ies), which are Independent Third Party(ies), have been undergoing. No final terms have been fixed nor any agreements have been entered into up to the date of this announcement. However, the Board considers that it is in the best interest of the Company to enhance its capital in order to facilitate possible acquisition(s) of properties which may crystalize in the near future. The Directors consider it is an appropriate strategy to expand its properties investment portfolio in view of the current market outlook, and by acquiring properties with good commercial value will bring stable recurrent rental income to the Company. Announcement(s) will be made by the Company as and when appropriate according to the Listing Rules. Such possible acquisition(s) may or may not realize and may or may not constitute notifiable transactions under the Listing Rules.
The Directors consider that the Placing represents an opportunity to raise capital for the Company while broadening the Shareholder base and capital base of the Company. Taking into account that (i) the possible enhancement of the profile of the Shareholders given that the Placees will be professional, institutional or other investors or any of their respective subsidiaries or associates; and (ii) the long-term benefits that may be generated from the investment to be made with the proceeds from the Placing which in turn may increase the value of the Shares, the Directors are of the view that the Placing is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
