The two reasons leading to the entering into of the Second Nomination Agreement are set out below:–

To conclude, the above mentioned events are leading to change in the proposed usage of the proceeds.

As at the date of signing of the Second Nomination Agreement, the Company received a trading profit of HK$50 million from Mr. Kwong pursuant to the Second Nomination Agreement. Such proceeds has been applied in the money lending business of the Company.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information in relation to, amongst other things, (i) summary of the Subscription Agreement regarding the Proposed Issue and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (ii) a notice convening the SGM at which the relevant resolution will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Proposed Issue (including the grant of the Specific Mandate).

B. PROPOSED ISSUE OF MISSION CAPITAL SUBCRIPTION SHARES TO WILLE UNDER SPECIFIC MANDATE

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, Willie has agreed to subscribe, and the Company has agreed to issue and allot to Willie or as it may direct, 1,500,000,000 Mission Capital Subscription Shares, which represents approximately 19.02% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, or approximately 15.98% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Mission Capital Subscription Shares that fall to be issued pursuant to the Subscription Agreement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Information on the Group

The Group principally engages in supply and procurement of commodities, provision of finance, securities investment and real estate business.

The Group has engaged in real estate business since early 2015 and entered into a transaction to acquire a company which holds a property known as 7th Floor, China United Centre, No. 28 Marble Road, North Point, Hong Kong on 16 February 2015, the completion of the transaction took place on 20 May 2015.

Mr. Suen Yick Lun Philip, executive Director, who has over 15 years of experience in corporate management and finance, accounting and company secretarial practice, and in particular, over 4 years’ experience in real estate business, is responsible for decision making and supervision in real estate business. The Group’s investment strategy in the real estate business is disclosed in the announcement dated 16 February 2015 and as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no specific business plan in real estate business.

Set out below is the information of money lending business and listed securities investment of the Group:–

Money Lending Business

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the size of existing loan portfolio of the money lending business is approximately HK$640 million and the loan type is mainly personal loan. There are several risks which the money lending business may face when it lends money out. The risks include the repayment risk and interest rate risk. The Company has no bad debts in past thirty six months up to immediately before the Latest Practicable Date. The historical and expected return rates of the money lending business are not less than approximately 5% p.a., the prospect of the money lending business is focusing on short term financing. To manage credit risk, the Company likely relies on the clienteles’ historical repayment record, due diligence on clienteles (e.g. background information) and/or secured/pledged assets (if any); and to manage interest rate risk, the Company maintains its lending rate not less than the best lending rate per annum.
