To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION, CHANGE OF BOARD LOT SIZE AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
On 12 November 2009, the Board announced the proposals for the Share Consolidation and change of board lot size.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information regarding, among other things, the Share Consolidation, change of board lot size and to give you the notice of the EGM to be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the Share Consolidation.
SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND CHANGE OF BOARD LOT SIZE
The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every twenty (20) issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.01 each will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.20 each. Fractional Consolidated Shares will be disregarded and not issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefits of the Company.
- 4 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board also proposes to change the board lot size for trading in the Shares from 50,000 Shares to 5,000 Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
Effects of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company amounted to HK$400,000,000 divided into 40,000,000,000 Shares, of which 7,334,166,921 Shares have been allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and on the basis that no further Shares will be allotted, issued or repurchased prior thereto, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$400,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares, of which 366,708,346 Consolidated Shares will be in issue.
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other.
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 Company or the interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which Shareholders may be entitled.
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon:
-
(a) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM for approving the Share Consolidation; and
-
(b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares.
Reasons for the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares. It is expected that the Share Consolidation would bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange and the Board believes that it may attract more investors and extend the shareholder base of the Company. The Board therefore believes that the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
Arrangement on odd lot trading
In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation and the proposed change of board lot size, the Company will appoint Kingston Securities to stand in the market to provide matching services on a best effort basis to the Shareholders who wish to top up or sell their holdings of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares for the period from 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, 24 December 2009 to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 15 January 2010 (both dates inclusive).
- 5 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares 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. Rosita Kiu of Kingston Securities by phone at (852) 2298-6215 or by fax at (852) 2295-0682 during this period. 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 is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder, who is in any doubt about the odd lot facility, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
Listing
An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, Consolidated Shares to be in issue upon the Share Consolidation taking effect.
No part of the share capital of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchanges and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.
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 trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.
Trading arrangements and exchange of share certificates
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, dealings in the Consolidated Shares are expected to commence on 10 December 2009. The trading arrangements proposed for dealings in Consolidated Shares are set out as follows:
-
(i) with effect from 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, 10 December 2009, the original counter for trading in existing Shares in existing board lot of 50,000 existing Shares will close temporarily. A temporary counter for trading in Consolidated Shares represented by existing orange share certificates in board lot of 2,500 Consolidated Shares will be established. Every existing certificate for whatever number of existing Shares will be deemed to be a certificate, and will be effective as a document of title valid for settlement and delivery for trading transacted from 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, 10 December 2009 to the close of business on Friday, 15 January 2010 for Consolidated Shares, in the amount equivalent to one twentieth of that number of existing Shares. The existing orange share certificates for existing Shares can only be traded at this temporary counter;
-
(ii) with effect from 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, 24 December 2009, the original counter will reopen for trading in Consolidated Shares in new board lot of 5,000 Consolidated Shares. Only new pink share certificates for Consolidated Shares can be traded at this counter;
-

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(iii) with effect from 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, 24 December 2009 to the close of business on Friday, 15 January 2010 (both dates inclusive), there will be parallel trading at the counters mentioned in (i) and (ii) above; and
-
(iv) the temporary counter for trading in Consolidated Shares represented by the existing orange share certificates in the board lot of 2,500 Consolidated Shares will be removed after the close of trading on Friday, 15 January 2010. Thereafter, trading will only be in Consolidated Shares represented by new pink share certificates in new board lot of 5,000 Consolidated Shares and the existing orange share certificates for existing Shares will cease to be marketable and will not be acceptable for dealing and settlement purposes.
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is expected to be at 9:30 a.m. on 10 December 2009, Shareholders may, on or after 10 December 2009 until 20 January 2010 (both days inclusive) submit existing orange share certificates for existing Shares to the Company’s share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new pink share certificates of the Consolidated Shares (on the basis of twenty (20) existing Shares for one (1) Consolidated Share). Thereafter, certificates of existing Shares will remain effective as documents of title but will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) per existing share certificate cancelled or new share certificate issued (whichever is the higher) by Shareholders.
It is expected that new certificates for Consolidated Share will be available for collection within 10 business days after the submission of the existing share certificates for existing Shares to the Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited for exchange. Unless otherwise instructed, new share certificates will be issued in board lot of 5,000 Consolidated Shares each. New share certificates for Consolidated Shares will be pink in colour to distinguish them from the existing share certificates for existing Shares which are orange in colour.
Adjustments in relation to the Convertible Bonds
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has outstanding Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$66,100,000 which are convertible into 1,444,000,000 Shares. Corresponding adjustments will be made in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Bonds. The Company will make a further announcement about the adjustments.
Save as disclosed above, the Company has no other outstanding options, warrants or other securities convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for Shares.
