CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The board of directors (‘‘Board’’) of Branding China Group Limited announces that the board lot size of the Shares on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (‘‘Stock Exchange’’) will be changed from 2,000 Shares each to 500 Shares each with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Monday, 11 March 2019. The free exchange of share certificates will commence on Monday, 25 February 2019, being 10 business days before the effective date. Please see below for further details on free exchange of share certificates.

The Shares are currently traded in board lots of 2,000 Shares and the market value per board lot of the Shares was HK$14,900 based on the closing price of HK$7.45 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of this announcement. Upon the change in board lot size becoming effective, the Shares will be traded in board lots of 500 Shares and the estimated market value per board lot of the Shares will be HK$3,725 based on the closing price of HK$7.45 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of this announcement. The Board believes that the change can facilitate the Company in attracting more investors and hence improve the liquidity of the Shares.

The adoption of the new board lot size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the shareholders of the Company (‘‘Shareholders’’). Since the existing board lot size of Shares is an integral multiple of the proposed new board lot size, no Shareholder who currently does not hold an odd lot of Shares will hold an odd lot of Shares as a result of the adoption of the new board lot size.
