(I) REALLOCATION OF USE OF PROCEEDS OF OPEN OFFER AND (II) DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION RELATING TO THE PROVISION OF LOAN FACILITY

(I) REALLOCATION OF USE OF PROCEEDS OF OPEN OFFER

References are made to the announcements, the Prospectus and the Open Offer Result Announcement of the Company dated 18 December 2014, 15 January 2015, 26 January 2015 and 13 February 2015 respectively in relation to the Open Offer on the basis of one Offer Share for every two existing Shares held on the Record Date at HK$0.10 per Offer Share.

The Board has resolved to reallocate the use of Open Offer Proceeds as previously stated in the Prospectus by reallocating approximately 40% of the Open Offer Proceeds as originally intended for general working capital to finance the money lending business. In addition, in light of a fluctuating commodity pricing environment, the Board has resolved to reallocate approximately 40% of Open Offer Proceeds, which originally intended for commodity trading business, to trading of securities to capture potential short term capital gain.

(II) DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION RELATING TO THE PROVISION OF LOAN FACILITY

The Board announces that on 4 March 2015 after trading hours, the Lender, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Loan Agreement with the Borrower, under which the Lender has agreed to provide the Loan Facility of up to HK$120 million to the Borrower, bearing interest at a flat rate of 5/8% per month for a period of one month.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As the relevant percentage ratio (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the amount of Loan Facility to the Borrower or its associates exceed 5% but are under 25%, this transaction constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the announcement requirement but is exempted from Shareholders’ approval requirement under the Listing Rules.

Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in shares of the Company.

(I) REALLOCATION OF USE OF PROCEEDS OF OPEN OFFER

References are made to the announcements, the Prospectus and the Open Offer Result Announcement of Mission Capital Holdings Limited (the “Company”) dated 18 December 2014, 15 January 2015, 26 January 2015 and 13 February 2015 respectively in relation to the Open Offer on the basis of one Offer Share for every two existing Shares held on the Record Date at HK$0.10 per Offer Share. Capitalised terms used in this announcement in relation to the Open Offer shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Prospectus unless otherwise specified herein.

As mentioned in the Open Offer Result Announcement, the Open Offer has become unconditional on 11 February 2015 and the Company has raised a net proceeds of approximately HK$209.16 million from the Open Offer. It was stated in the Prospectus that the Directors intended to apply the Open Offer Proceeds as to (i) approximately 20% to develop its money lending business; (ii) approximately 40% for commodity trading business; and (iii) the remaining balance for general working capital.

In view of the current economic condition and a recent money leading opportunity arisen as detailed in part (ii) Discloseable Transaction Relating To The Provision Of Loan Facility below, the Board has resolved to reallocate approximately 40% of the Open Offer Proceeds as originally intended for general working capital as previously stated in the Prospectus to finance the money lending business. In addition, in light of a fluctuating commodity pricing environment, the Board has resolved to reallocate approximately 40% of Open Offer Proceeds, which originally intended for commodity trading business, to trading of securities to capture potential short term capital gain.

The Board considers that the above reallocation in use of proceeds will facilitate the efficient allocation of financial resources of the Company and strengthen the future development of the Company. The Board considers that the above is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Also, the Board confirms that the reallocation in use of proceeds will not affect the sufficiency of general working capital for normal daily operation of the Company.

(II) DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION RELATING TO THE PROVISION OF LOAN FACILITY

The Board of directors of the Company is pleased to announce that on 4 March 2015 after trading hours, the Lender, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Loan Agreement with the Borrower, under which the Lender has agreed to provide the Loan Facility of up to HK$120 million to the Borrower, bearing interest at a flat rate of 5/8% per month for a period of one month.

THE LOAN AGREEMENT

Parties

Lender:

Xin Credit Services Limited, an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the Company

Borrower:

Freeman Securities Limited

– 3 –

The Borrower is principally engaged in the securities brokerage, placing, underwriting, margin financing and trading of securities. As at the date of this announcement, Freeman, the ultimate beneficial owner of the Borrower, holds approximately 8.42% of the issued Share capital of the Company.

To the best of the Director’s knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Borrower and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and are not connected persons of the Company (as defined under the Listing Rules).

Principal terms of the Loan Agreement

Date: 4 March 2015 Amount of the loan facility: HK$120 million Drawdown: available for drawdown commencing from the date of the Loan Agreement Facility: as working capital Repayment: within one month from the date of drawdown Interest: a flat rate of 5/8% per month

REASONS FOR THE ENTERING INTO THE LOAN AGREEMENT

The Company and its subsidiaries have been principally engaged in the businesses of supply and procurement of commodities, provision of finance and securities investments, as well as trading of real estate properties as advised in the voluntary announcement of the Company dated 16 February 2015.

The Lender is a registered money lender holding a valid money lenders license under the Money Lenders Ordinance (Chapter 163 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and is principally engaged in the business of money lending services. The provision of the Loan Facility is carried out as the ordinary and usual course of business activities of the Group. As elaborated above, the Loan Facility will be funded by part of the Open Offer Proceeds reallocated to the money lending business.

– 4 –

The terms of the Loan Agreement were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Lender and the Borrower. After considering the expected interest income and return to the Group, the Board is of the view that the provision of the Loan Facility is on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

When the Loan Facility is repaid by Borrower at the repayment date, such financial resources will be reserved for working capital of the Group. Should there be any regulatory requirement on such future application of the financial resources, the Company would comply with all necessary regulatory requirements, if required.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As the relevant percentage ratio (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the amount of Loan Facility to the Borrower or its associates exceed 5% but are under 25%, this transaction constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the announcement requirement but is exempted from Shareholders’ approval requirement under the Listing Rules.

Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in shares of the Company.
