In view of the ongoing novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread, the Company will implement the following preventive measures at the SGM to protect attending Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders from the risk of infection: (i) compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendee at the entrance of the SGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the SGM venue or be required to leave the SGM venue; (ii) the Company strongly recommends attendees to wear surgical face masks inside the SGM venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats; and (iii) no refreshments will be served, and there will be no corporate gifts.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION, PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 3 December 2021 in relation to, among other matters, the proposed Share Consolidation and proposed Change in Board Lot Size. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with more information regarding the proposed Share Consolidation, proposed Change in Board Lot Size and the notice of SGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every forty (40) Existing Shares in the issued and unissued share capital of the Company be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share.
Effects of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 46,978,667,729 Existing Shares of in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming no further Existing Shares will be allotted, issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the SGM, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, there will be 1,174,466,693 Consolidated Shares 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.
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 proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders.
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The implementation of the Share Consolidation is conditional upon:
-
(i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM to approve the Share Consolidation;
-
(ii) the Stock Exchange granting the approval for listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and
-
(iii) the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the applicable laws of Bermuda and the Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation.
The Share Consolidation is expected to become effective on Wednesday, 29 December 2021 (being one clear Business Day after the date of the SGM), subject to the fulfilment of the above conditions.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions has been fulfilled.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Listing Application
An application has been made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
Subject to the granting of 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, the Consolidated Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance 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 established and operated by HKSCC.
None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming 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.
Adjustments in relation to other securities of the Company
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no other outstanding options, warrants or other securities in issue which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares, as the case may be.
PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in board lots of 10,000 Existing Shares. It is proposed that, subject to and conditional upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange be changed from 10,000 Existing Shares to 1,000 Consolidated Shares.
Based on the closing price of HK$0.073 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each board lot of 1,000 Consolidated Shares, assuming the Share Consolidation had already become effective, would be HK$2,920.
The Change in Board Lot Size will not result in change of the relative rights of the Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND THE CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
Pursuant to Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of an issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, 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 (the “ Guide ”) has further stated that market price of the shares at a level less than HK$0.1 will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules. It has also stated in the Guide that taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected board lot value should be greater than HK$2,000.
Since 2 December 2019, the closing prices of the Shares were trading below HK$0.185 and were trading at under HK$2,000 per board lot. Further, since 2 September 2021, the closing prices of the Shares were trading below HK$0.10. The proposed Share Consolidation will bring a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Company per board lot of the Consolidated Shares and will reduce the transaction costs and fees per transaction due to increase in value of each new board lot. In addition, the Change in Board Lot Size will support trading and liquidity of the Shares upon Share Consolidation becoming effective by maintaining trading amount for each board lot at a reasonable level. Taking into account the combined effect of the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size, it is expected that the implementation will (i) result in an overall increase in the board lot value of the Shares and enable the Company to comply with the expected board lot value of not less than HK$2,000 as set out in the Guide, and (ii) attract more investors and extend the shareholder base of the Company by making investment in the Shares more attractive to a broader range of investors, in particular to institutional investors whose house rules might otherwise prohibit or restrict trading in securities that are priced below a prescribed floor.
The Share Consolidation will decrease the total number of the Existing Shares currently in issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has over 46.9 billion Shares in issue. Based on the statistics shown on the 2020 Fact Book published by the Stock Exchange, among the 50 leading companies in market capitalisation, only 3 companies had more than 46.9 billion Shares in issue. The Company proposes to conduct the Share Consolidation based on the proposed ratio of 40:1 such that it can reduce the number of Existing Shares and be convergent with the number of issued shares of other Main Board issuers.
Save for the necessary professional expenses for the implementation of the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size, the implementation of the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size will not alter the underlying assets, business operation, management or financial position of the Company and the proportionate interests and rights of the Shareholders.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In view of the above, the Board considers that the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size is necessary to achieve the above-mentioned purposes, in particular to ensure the Company’s compliance with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules and the Guide. Taking into account of the potential benefits and the insubstantial amount of costs to be incurred, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size are beneficial to and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
As at the date of this circular, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate actions including placing and rights issues in the next three years which may affect the trading in the Shares or have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Shares Consolidation and Change in Board Lot Size, and the Company does not have any concrete plan or has entered into any agreement, arrangement, understanding or negotiation (either concluded or in process) to conduct any fund-raising activities in the next 12 months.
Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares
Fractional Consolidated Shares (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 share certificates held by such holder.
Shareholders who are 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 the Existing 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 Consolidated Shares, the Company has appointed Joy Rich Securities Investment Limited as an agent to provide matching services on a best-efforts basis regarding the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares from Wednesday, 12 January 2022 to Friday, 4 February 2022 (both days inclusive). Shareholders should note that matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder who is in any doubt about the odd lots arrangement is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this service should contact Mr. Ho Shu Shun Joseph of Joy Rich Securities Investment Limited at telephone number (+852) 3701 3916 during office hours of such period.
Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Exchange of certificates for Consolidated Shares
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be Wednesday, 29 December 2021 (being one clear Business Day after the date of the SGM), Shareholders may on or after Wednesday, 29 December 2021 and until Tuesday, 8 February 2022 (both days inclusive), submit their existing share certificates in blue colour for the Existing Shares to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong for exchange for share certificates in green colour for the Consolidated Shares at the expense of the Company.
It is expected that the new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be available for collection within 10 Business Days after submission of the existing share certificates to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong for exchange.
Shareholders should note that after the prescribed time for free exchange of share certificates, a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange) will be payable by the Shareholders for each share certificate for the Existing Share submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares, whichever the number of certificates cancelled or issued is higher.
After close of business on Friday, 4 February 2022, trading will only be in Consolidated Shares which share certificates will be issued in green colour. Existing share certificates in blue colour for the Existing Shares will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purpose, but will remain valid and effective as documents of title and may be exchanged for share certificate for the Consolidated Shares at any time.
SGM
A notice convening the SGM to be held at 45/F, One Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Place Central, Hong Kong on Friday, 24 December 2021 at 11:00 a.m. is set out on pages 13 to 15 of this circular.
