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 16 June 2023 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 proposes to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every ten (10) issued and unissued Existing Shares be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM;

  • (ii) the GEM Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and

  • (iii) the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the GEM Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation.

Subject to the fulfillment of all the above conditions, the Share Consolidation is expected to become effective on Friday, 28 July 2023.

Effects of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$100,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Existing Shares with par value of HK$0.01 each, of which 1,584,000,000 Existing 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 other further Existing Shares will be allotted, issued or repurchased prior thereto, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$100,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 ordinary Shares of HK$0.10 each, of which 158,400,000 Consolidated Shares will be in issue, which are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Company’s articles of association.

Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the shareholdings, proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which the Shareholders may be entitled.

Listing application

An application will be made by the Company to the GEM Listing Committee for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective. Subject to the granting of approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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 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 in on any other stock exchanges other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time when the Share Consolidation becomes 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 being or is proposed to be sought.

Board lot size

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing Shares were 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 continue to be 10,000 Consolidated Shares.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.059 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.59 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each existing board lot of the Existing Shares is HK$590 and the estimated theoretical value of each board lot of the Consolidated Shares would be HK$5,900 assuming that the Share Consolidation becomes effective.

Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares

Fractional Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, if any, will be disregarded and will not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Existing Shares regardless of the number of existing share certificates held by such holder. Shareholders concerned about losing out on any fractional entitlement are recommended to consult their licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant or other professional adviser and may wish to consider the possibility of buying or selling Shares in a number sufficient to make up an entitlement to receive a whole number of Consolidated Shares.

Arrangement on odd lot trading

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares (if any) arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company will appoint a designated broker to provide matching services, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Mr. Peter Cheung of KGI Asia Limited at 41/F., Central Plaza, Wanchai, Hong Kong (telephone number: (852) 2878 6995/(852) 2878 6888) from 9:00 a.m. on Friday, 11 August 2023 to 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 31 August 2023.

Shareholders holding odd lots of the Consolidated Shares (if any) should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders who are in any doubt about the odd lots matching arrangement are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

Exchange of share certificates

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Shareholders may during the period from Friday, 28 July 2023 to Monday, 4 September 2023 (both days inclusive) submit existing share certificates in the colour of blue for the Existing Shares to the Registrar at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong, for exchange for new share certificates in the colour of light yellow for the Consolidated Shares at the expense of the Company.

Thereafter, share certificates of the Existing 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 specified by the Stock Exchange) by the Shareholders for each share certificate for the Existing Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares, whichever is higher.

After 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 4 September 2023, existing share certificates for the Existing Shares will only remain effective as documents of title and may be exchanged for share certificates for Consolidated Shares at any time but will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes.

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 HK$0.01, the issuer may be required either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities. 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 has further stated that (i) where market price of the shares approaches the extremities of HK$0.01, which the Stock Exchange considers to be any trading price less than HK$0.10 each, will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules; and (ii) taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected board lot value should be greater than HK$2,000.

The Existing Shares have been trading below HK$0.10 and the board lot value of the Existing Shares has been traded below HK$2,000. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the closing price of the Existing Shares was HK$0.059, with a board lot size of 10,000, and the existing board lot value was only HK$590, which was less than HK$2,000. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, based on the closing price of HK$0.059 per Existing Share,

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the share price of the Company would be adjusted to HK$0.59 per Consolidated Share. With a board lot size of 10,000, the estimated theoretical value of each new board lot would be HK$5,900. The Share Consolidation would thus enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules.

The Board considers that the Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares and reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. It is expected that the Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding increase in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, which will reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Consolidated Shares as a proportion of the market value of each board lot, since most of the banks/securities houses will charge a minimum transaction fee for each securities trade. It is also hoped that the Share Consolidation will make investing in the Shares more attractive to a broader range of investors, including institutional investors whose house rules might otherwise prohibit or restrict trading in securities that are priced below a prescribed floor and thus help broadening the shareholder base of the Company. Taking into account other alternative ratio for share consolidation and board lot size of the Shares, the Directors considered that the total number of lot available for trading will remain as integer as a result of the proposed Share Consolidation; and if the ratio of the share consolidation is set to a higher ratio, it may result in substantial reduction in the number of issued Shares or substantial increase in the theoretical share price to such an extent which may affect the trading liquidity of the Shares in the market or corporate actions of the Company.

The Company has been considering various fund-raising alternatives available to the Group, including share issue, rights issue and debt financing. On 9 June 2023, the Company has entered into the Placing Agreement and issued the Placing Announcement relating to the Placing; and on 30 June 2023, the long stop date of the Placing Agreement was extended to 14 July 2023. The Company has also been negotiating with an independent third party relating to a term loan with a view to providing further funding support for the Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the debt financing is subject to further negotiation between the parties and remains to be finalized. The Company has taken into account such possible fund raising activities when determining the basis of the Share Consolidation. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save as disclosed in the Placing Announcement and herein, 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. However, the Board will not rule out the possibility that the Company will conduct debt and/or equity fund raising exercises and/or other corporate actions when suitable fund raising opportunities arise for 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.

In light of the above reasons, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ADJUSTMENTS IN RELATION TO OTHER SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding derivatives, options, warrants, other securities or conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares.

EGM

The EGM will be held at Units 1202–1204, Level 12, Cyberport 2, 100 Cyberport Road, Hong Kong on Wednesday, 26 July 2023 at 11:00 a.m. for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Share Consolidation. The resolution approving the Share Consolidation will be conducted by way of poll at the EGM and an announcement on the results of the EGM will be made by the Company after the EGM.

To the best of the knowledge, belief and information of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has a material interest in the Share Consolidation and accordingly, no Shareholder would be required to abstain from voting at the EGM.

The notice convening the EGM is set out on pages 12 to 14 of this circular.

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 21 July 2023 to Wednesday, 26 July 2023 (both days inclusive) for determining the identity of the Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the EGM. No transfer of Shares will be registered during the above book closure period.

All transfer of shares accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Registrar at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong, for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 20 July 2023.

A form of proxy for the EGM is enclosed herewith. Whether you are able to attend the EGM or not, you are requested to complete the enclosed form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the completed form of proxy to the Registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong as soon as possible so that it is received at least 48 hours before the time appointed (i.e. Monday, 24 July 2023 at 11:00 a.m.) for the EGM or the adjourned meeting (as the case may be). Submission of a form of proxy shall not preclude you from attending the EGM (or any adjournment of such meeting) and voting in person should you so wish.

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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

COMPETING INTERESTS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors, the controlling shareholders of the Company nor any of their respective close associates (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) had any interest in a business which competes or may compete, either directly or indirectly, with the business of the Group or any other conflict of interest which any such person has or may have with the Group which would be required to be disclosed pursuant to the GEM Listing Rules.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board considers that the Share Consolidation is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant ordinary resolution to be proposed at the EGM.

MISCELLANEOUS

In case of any inconsistency between the English version and the Chinese version of this Circular, the English version shall prevail.
