To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

ISSUE OF UNLISTED WARRANTS PURSUANT TO SPECIFIC MANDATE AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcements issued by the Company on 22 and 26 September 2016 in relation to the Subscription Agreement and the issue of the Warrants. The purpose of this circular is, among other things, to provide you with more information in relation to the Subscription Agreement and the issue of the Warrants as follows:

AGREEMENT

Date

22 September 2016

  • For identification purpose only

– 4 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Parties

  • (1) the Company as the issuer; and

  • (2) Sky Rock Development Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and the entire issued share capital of which is legally and beneficially owned by Mr. Chang Wang, as the Subscriber. The principal business of the Subscriber is investment holding including Hong Kong listed shares.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, save that Mr. Chang Wang and his spouse are beneficially interested in an aggregate of 272,000 Shares, the Subscriber and its ultimate beneficial owner (Mr. Chang Wang) are Independent Third Parties.

Securities to be issued

Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions to the Subscription Agreement, the Company has agreed to issue, and the Subscriber has agreed to subscribe for, an aggregate of 50,000,000 Warrants at the Issue Price of HK$0.03 per Warrant. Each of the Warrants carries the right to subscribe for one Warrant Share at the Subscription Price of HK$1.40.

The Issue Price and the Subscription Price is determined based on negotiations on arm’s length basis between the Company and the Subscriber with reference to the following factors:

(i) the Group’s financial position

The Group recorded an audited loss of approximately HK$148,913,000 for the year ended 31 December 2015, an unaudited loss of approximately HK$410,453,000 for the six month ended 30 June 2016 and an unaudited net assets value of the Group as at 30 June 2016 was approximately HK$566,037,000, which represents a net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.54. The unaudited net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.54 represents a substantial discount to the recent market price per Share and the loss making position of the Group would cause hesitation for potential investors to invest in the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(ii) the historical Share prices and liquidity of the Shares in the market

The table below shows the highest, lowest and average closing prices of the Shares in the past three months immediately preceding the date of entering into the Subscription Agreement:

Date Share price
Highest 21 September 2016 1.22
Lowest 9 September 2016 1.13
Average 1.18

The table below shows the highest, lowest and average trading volume of the Shares in the past three months immediately preceding the date of entering into the Subscription Agreement:

Number of
Date Shares traded
Highest 9 September 2016 1,520,000
Lowest Various dates including
14 July 2016, 29 July 2016
and 1 September 2016 0
Average 170,653

(iii) the current market sentiment

It is noted that the current market sentiment is not positive and the potential investors are sluggish in new investment. The uncertainties in the future and local economy development cause investors to become more conservative and are unwilling to invest substantial sum in the Shares. The issue of Warrants will allow the Subscriber and those potential investors (if the Warrants are transferred) to have an opportunity to observe the performance of the Group before the exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company did not take into account any valuation of the Warrants in determining the Issue Price and the Subscription Price due to the fact that the theoretical value is calculated by a formula taking into accounts certain factors, but it may not take into account the actual circumstances, the Group’s financial position, the market sentiment and the key terms of the Warrants such as the adjustment mechanism, non-listed nature and restrictions on the sale of the Warrant Shares. Such theoretical value may not be an appropriate yardstick for the transaction and can vary on a daily basis as a result of share price fluctuation and different valuation models may generate different theoretical values. In additions, it is consistent with the Directors’ observation that using the theoretical value as pricing benchmark is not common in Hong Kong capital market for the issuance of the unlisted warrant. As such, given that the Issue Price and the Subscription Price were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations, the Directors consider that the above factors are more appropriate for the determination of the Issue Price and the Subscription Price. In view of the above, the Board considers that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions

Completion of the Subscription Agreement is subject to the fulfillment of the following conditions:

  • (a) the passing by the Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules and all applicable laws at the SGM, of resolutions approving (i) the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (ii) the grant of a specific mandate to issue the Warrant Shares to the Subscriber pursuant to the terms provided therein;

  • (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting listing of, and permission to deal in, the Warrant Shares;

  • (c) the warranties set out in the Subscription Agreement remaining true and correct in all material respects;

  • (d) all necessary consents and approvals as may be required to be obtained on the part of the Company in respect of the issue of the Warrants and the transactions contemplated under the Subscription Agreement having been obtained by the Company; and

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (e) if applicable, the Bermuda Monetary Authority granting its consent to the issue of the Warrants and the allotment and issue of the Warrant Shares.

The Subscriber may at any time by notice in writing to the Company waive the condition set out in (c) above and the Company may at any time by notice in writing to the Subscriber waive the condition set out in (d) above.

In the event that any of the conditions referred to above is not fulfilled or waived in full at or before 5:00 p.m. on the Long Stop Date (or such other time and date as may be agreed between the Company and the Subscriber in writing), the Subscription Agreement shall cease and determine and thereafter, neither party shall have any obligations and liabilities hereunder save for any antecedent breaches of the provisions hereof.

Completion

Completion shall take place on the Completion Date.

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE WARRANTS

Number of Warrants 50,000,000 Warrants. The Warrants will rank pari passu in all respects among themselves. Issue Price HK$0.03 per Warrant. The net issue price, after deduction of the relevant expenses, is approximately HK$0.0299 per Warrant. Number of Warrant As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has a Shares issuable total of 1,052,185,315 Shares in issue. Assuming there is no further issue or repurchase of the Shares and there is no adjustment to the Subscription Price, upon the full exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants, 50,000,000 Warrant Shares will be issued, which represent approximately 4.75% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) approximately 4.54% of the total number of Shares in issue as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Warrant Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (i) a discount of approximately 14.63% to the closing price of HK$1.64 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (ii) a premium of approximately 6.06% over the closing price of HK$1.32 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Subscription Agreement;

  • (iii) a premium of approximately 17.45% over the average of the closing price of approximately HK$1.192 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the date immediately preceding the date of the Subscription Agreement; and

The Directors are of the opinion that the Issue Price together with the Subscription Price (which is at a premium) are fair and reasonable and in the best interest of the Company.

Adjustments to the Subscription Price

The Subscription Price will be subject to adjustments in certain events, including:

  • (i) an alteration to the nominal value of the Shares as a result of consolidation or subdivision;

  • (iv) offer to the Shareholders for subscription by way of rights, or grant to the Shareholders any options or warrants to subscribe for new Shares, at a price which is less than 80% of the current market price on the date of the announcement of the terms of the offer or grant.

The Board confirmed that the above are normal anti-dilutive adjustment events.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE ISSUE OF WARRANTS

The Group is principally engaged in the development, provision and sales of electronic gaming systems and the provision of casino management services.

Mr. Chang Wang, the sole shareholder and director of the Subscriber, is well-known in the gaming and casino industry in Macau. Mr. Chang is the founder of Mocha Clubs, the largest slot hall operator in Macau. Mocha Clubs operates around 2,000 gaming machines across ten locations, and it is one of the largest non-casino-based operations in Macau. Mr. Chang started the company in 2002. The first club in Macau began with 64 slot machines and electronic table game (“ETG”) stations. By the end of 2004 Mr. Chang expanded the chain to 3 Mocha Slot Clubs in Macau with an installed base of over 600 machines. He sold his company in 2004. During this time period he was an innovator and developer of the first video slot, sicbo and roulette ETG to Macau. He was instrumental in helping to design some of the leading gaming suppliers’ ETG machines main platform design and user interface screen layout for Chinese players. Mr. Chang is also sought after as an expert consultant by gaming supplier companies and Macau casinos to better understand and penetrate the lucrative Macau gaming machine market trends and burgeoning Chinese electronic gaming player. Before Mocha Slot Clubs, Mr. Chang served as an executive director of two technology companies in Hong Kong. Prior to that he was the managing director of a golf resort development company in Australia.

Mr. Chang Wang also has a good business relationship with the Company as Mr. Chang had previously invested in the Company in 2007 (through subscription of convertible notes) and 2013 (through subscription of warrants), respectively. As such, the Company was interested at the prospects of Mr. Chang Wang being a strategic investor of the Company, who may be able to assist the Company in raising additional capital in the long run and for marketing purposes. The Company therefore contemplated the possibility of issuing the Warrants to the Subscriber (nominee of Mr. Chang Wang) to bring him into the Company as a strategic investor, and will further explore the potential business opportunity that Mr. Chang can introduce to the Company taking into account his extensive business connection in the gaming industry in Macau. However, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any concrete plan for any contemplated business plans or opportunities that are considering by the Company which are relevant to introducing Mr. Chang as a strategic investor.

The Company considered issuing the Warrants to be an appropriate mode of fund-raising, taking into account that: (i) although only a minimal amount may be raised from the initial subscription of the Warrants, the Company may receive a much larger sum of money if the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants are exercised in full; (ii) the subscription price is at a premium; (iii) issuing the Warrants can broaden the Shareholder and capital base of the Company; and (iv) the Warrants are not interest-bearing and will not result in any immediate dilution effect on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders. The net proceeds from the subscription of Warrants

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

are approximately HK$1,498,000 which will be applied as the general working capital of the Group. Although only a minimal amount will be raised from the initial subscription of the Warrants, the Board is of the view that, if the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants are exercised in full, the Company will receive net proceeds in the amount of approximately HK$71,498,000 (including the Issue Price of the Warrants) and increasing the shareholding to be held by Mr. Chang Wang, which will help broaden the capital base of the Company.

Further, given the Warrants are transferable in whole or in part, the number of the warrantholders may expand. In the event that more warrantholders exercise the subscription rights, the shareholders base of the Company will be further broadened.

The Company has also considered other alternative fund raising methods including issuing new Shares, debt financing and bank borrowings. Placing of new Shares has the likely disadvantage that the placement Shares may have to be set at deep discount to share price for the placing agent or placees, in light of the current market sentiment while issuing new Shares at premium to market prices is not realistic.

In addition, the interest burden resulted from the debt financing and bank borrowings may not be beneficial to the Company. Furthermore, whilst the Company has considered that both an open offer and a rights issue which would allow the Shareholders to maintain their respective prorata shareholdings in the Company, however, given that the Group had incurred losses for the year ended 31 December 2015 and for the six months ended 30 June 2016, the Company considered that there would be limited number of underwriters who is interested to underwrite an open offer or a rights issue of the Company and also for those underwriters who are interested in such open offer or rights issue, a deep discount to the prevailing market price of the Shares might be required by them. Also, rights issue and open offer require approval from relevant authorities and involve, among other things, the preparation and the issue of a prospectus, and the printing and handling of application forms and, thereby are relatively time consuming and costly.

The Company has also considered the possibility of listing of the Warrants. However, the application for listing of the Warrants would incur additional costs which will further reduce the net proceeds from the issue of the Warrants. In addition, the application for listing of the Warrants could delay the whole fund raising process. Further, the Warrants are issued to single holder at the time of issue, and such issue cannot meet the requirement on adequate spread of holders of such warrants pursuant to Rule 11.23(3)(b). Therefore, the Directors are of the view that the issue of unlisted Warrants would be a more appropriate option.

– 14 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors also consider that the Subscription Agreement was entered into on normal commercial terms after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber and that the terms of the Subscription Agreement (including the Issue Price and the Subscription Price) are fair and reasonable so far as the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole are concerned.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Assuming the full exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants, the total gross and net funds to be raised, including the funds raised by the subscription of Warrants, are approximately HK$71,500,000 and HK$71,498,000. The net proceeds of approximately HK$71,498,000 shall be applied as the general working capital of the Group (i.e. payment of rental, salary, market expenses and of purchase of gaming machines).

Since the proceeds that may be raised from the issue of Warrants will depend on the exercise of subscription rights which is out of control of the Company, the proceeds that will actually be raised therefrom may not match with the Company’s capital requirements but will serve as additional source of funds for such purposes.

The Company currently does not have immediate additional capital requirement for its general working capital and does not have any concrete future business expansion plan that needs specific capital requirement. However, the Company will review its business plan from time to time and the proceeds that may be raised from the issue of the Warrants would strengthen the Company’s financial position for its future business development. The Company shall not rule out the possibility of alternative fund raising methods should the subscription of the Warrant Shares not match the future capital needs.

Assuming the full exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants, the net price to the Company of each Warrant, which is calculated by dividing the aggregate net proceeds from the subscription of Warrants and the exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants by the total number of the Warrants, is approximately HK$1.4299.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company did not have any concrete plan for any contemplated acquisitions, disposals or other matters that may have a material impact on the Company which is necessary for the Shareholders and the public to appraise the position of the Company during the exercise period of the Warrants. However, the Company will review its business plan from time to time and may consider potential business expansion and investment opportunities when the opportunities arise.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

Pursuant to Rule 15.02(1) of the Listing Rules, the Warrant Shares to be issued on exercise of the Warrants must not, when aggregated with all other equity securities remain to be issued on exercise of any other subscription rights, if all such rights were immediately exercised, whether or not such exercise is permissible, exceed 20% of the total number of Shares in issue at the time the Warrants are issued. Options granted under share option schemes which comply with Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules are excluded for the purpose of such limit.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any securities with subscription rights outstanding and not yet exercised.

Assuming (i) full exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants; and (ii) no Shares are further issued and repurchased, an aggregate of 50,000,000 Shares will be issued, which represent (a) approximately 4.75% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (b) approximately 4.54% of the total number of Shares in issue as enlarged by the issue of the Warrant Shares.
