To the Shareholders,

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE OF SHARES AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of the circular is to provide you with information regarding the proposed Bonus Issue; and the notice convening the SGM, at which necessary resolution(s) will be proposed to consider, and if thought fit, to approve the proposed Bonus Issue.

PROPOSED BONUS ISSUE OF SHARES

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 18 July 2014 in relation to the Bonus Issue. The Board proposes a bonus issue to the Qualifying Shareholders on the basis of one (1) Bonus Share for every four (4) existing Shares held on the Record Date by the Qualifying Shareholders. The Bonus Shares will be credited as fully paid at par. The terms of the proposed Bonus Issue are set out below.

  • For identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Basis of Bonus Issue

Subject to the conditions as set out under the heading “Conditions of the Bonus Issue” below, the Bonus Shares will be issued and credited as fully paid at par on the basis of one (1) Bonus Share for every four (4) existing Shares held on the Record Date by the Qualifying Shareholders.

On the basis of 3,422,680,402 existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, and assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased before the Record Date, it is anticipated that 855,670,100 Bonus Shares will be issued under the Bonus Issue representing approximately 25% of the existing issued share capital as at the Record Date. After the completion of the Bonus Issue, there will be a total of 4,278,350,502 Shares in issue as enlarged by the Bonus Issue. The Bonus Shares will be credited as fully paid by way of capitalisation of an amount in the share premium account of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding options, warrants and convertible securities exercisable into Shares which qualify to participate in the Bonus Issue.

Conditions of the Bonus Issue

The Bonus Issue will be conditional upon:

  • (1) the approval of the Bonus Issue by the Shareholders at the SGM;

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

  • (3) compliance with the relevant legal procedures and requirements (if any) under the applicable laws of Bermuda to effect the Bonus Issue.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in the Bonus Shares. Apart from making listing application to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange, the Directors do not propose to make application to any other stock exchanges for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Bonus Shares.

Status of the Bonus Shares

The Bonus Shares, upon issue, will rank pari passu with the Shares then existing in all respects, including the entitlement of receiving dividends and other distributions the record date for which is on or after the date of allotment and issue of the Bonus Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Overseas Shareholders

In case if there has been any Overseas Shareholders on or before the Record Date, enquiry will be made by the Board pursuant to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules. Overseas Shareholders will not be allotted the Bonus Shares if the Directors consider such exclusion to be necessary or expedient on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that place. In such circumstances, arrangements will be made for the Bonus Shares which would otherwise have been issued to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, if any, to be sold in the market as soon as practicable after dealing in the Bonus Shares commences. Any net proceeds of sale, after deduction of expenses, will be distributed in Hong Kong dollars to the NonQualifying Shareholders, if any, pro rata to their respective shareholdings and remittances therefore will be posted to them, at their own risk, unless the amount falling to be distributed to any such persons is less than HK$100.00, in which case it will be retained for the benefit of the Company. According to the register of members of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, there was one Overseas Shareholder with address located in the PRC. Based on the advice provided by the Company’s legal adviser on the laws of the PRC, it is not prohibited under the laws of the PRC to offer the Bonus Shares to the Overseas Shareholder with address located in the PRC and also, the Company is not required to complete any registration or filing with or obtain any approval or consent from the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange of the PRC with respect to the offer of the Bonus Shares, the despatch of this circular to such Overseas Shareholder in the PRC and the receiving of physical Shares certificates by such Overseas Shareholder in the PRC. Therefore, the Directors have decided to extend the Bonus Issue to such Overseas Shareholder with registered address located in the PRC as shown on the register of members of the Company as at the Record Date (if such overseas Shareholder is still a Shareholder on the Record Date) and there was no Non-Qualifying Shareholder as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Overseas Shareholders should note that they may or may not be entitled to the Bonus Issue, subject to the results of enquiries made by the Directors pursuant to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, Overseas Shareholders should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company. Notwithstanding the enquiries made by the Company with its legal advisers, any Shareholder with a registered address outside Hong Kong or otherwise residing outside Hong Kong should consult their professional advisers as to whether they are permitted to receive the Bonus Shares under the Bonus Issue and the taxation consequences of their decision. It is the responsibility of the Shareholders who wishes to receive Bonus Shares under the Bonus Issue to comply with the laws of the relevant jurisdiction(s).

Fractions of Bonus Shares

The Company will not allot any fractions of the Bonus Shares. Bonus Shares representing fractional entitlement will be aggregated and issued to a nominee to be nominated by the Directors. Such Bonus Shares (if any) will be sold and the net proceeds, after deducting the related expenses therefrom, will be retained by the Company for its own benefits.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Arrangement for matching service for odd lots

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Bonus Shares, a designated broker will be appointed to match the purchase and sale of odd lots of the Bonus Shares at the relevant market price per Bonus Share for the period from 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 10 September 2014 to 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 23 September 2014 (both dates inclusive). Holders of odd lots of the Bonus Shares should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Bonus Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this matching service either to dispose of their existing odd lots or top up to board lots of 10,000 Shares after the Bonus Issue becomes effective may contact Mr. Ng Kwai Cho of HEC Securities Limited at 26/F, China United Centre, 28 Marble Road, North Point, Hong Kong at telephone number (852) 3198 0807 during office hours.

Any Shareholder, who is in any doubt about the odd lot arrangement, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.

Record Date and closure of register of members

The Bonus Shares will be issued to the Qualifying Shareholders. The register of members of the Company will be closed from Wednesday, 20 August 2014 to Monday, 25 August 2014 (both days inclusive) in order to determine the entitlement of the Shareholders under the Bonus Issue.

Shareholders are reminded that in order to qualify for the Bonus Issue, they must ensure that all transfers accompanied by the relevant Share certificates are lodged with the Hong Kong branch share registrar of the Company, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong for registration not later than 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 19 August 2014.

The exact total number of Bonus Shares to be issued under the Bonus Issue will not be capable of being determined until the Record Date.

Reasons for the proposed Bonus Issue

In recognition of the continual support of the Shareholders, the Board decides to propose the Bonus Issue as a return to the Shareholders and by this opportunity to allow the Shareholders to participate in the business growth of the Company by way of capitalisation of a portion of the share premium account. In addition, the Directors are aware of the recent increase in stock price of the Company as well as the value of each board lot of Shares. Upon completion of the Bonus Issue, the value of each board lot of Shares will be reduced. Accordingly, the Shareholders and potential investors can enjoy greater flexibility in dealing in the Shares and thus enhancing their liquidity in the market and may possibly be enlarging the Company’s shareholder and capital base. The Directors prefer the Bonus Issue to a cash dividend as the Company would like to conserve its book value as well as cash for future business development. Going forward, as a new corporate direction, the Directors will be more inclined to recommend the payment of dividends where appropriate and advantageous to Shareholders as well as to adopt bonus issue as a form of distribution.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Certificates for Bonus Shares

It is expected that certificates for the Bonus Shares will be posted by ordinary post on Monday, 8 September 2014 after all the conditions of the Bonus Issue shall have been fulfilled at the risk of the Shareholders entitled thereto to their respective addresses shown on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date. Dealings in the Bonus Shares are expected to commence on Wednesday, 10 September 2014.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, and to the best knowledge, belief and information of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required under the Listing Rules to abstain from voting on the proposed resolution at the SGM.

A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed with this circular.
