  • (ii) Shareholders that (a) have travelled, and have been in close contact with any person who has travelled, outside of Hong Kong (as per guidelines issued by the Hong Kong Government at www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102742.html) at any time in the preceding fourteen (14) days; (b) are, and have been, in close contact with any person who is, subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed compulsory quarantine (including home quarantine); (c) are, and have been, in close contact with anyone who has contracted COVID-19, has been tested preliminarily positive of COVID-19 or is suspected of contracting COVID-19; or (d) have any flu-like symptoms, may be denied entry into the SGM venue and be asked to leave the SGM venue.

To the extent permitted under the laws of Hong Kong, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the SGM venue or require any person to leave the SGM venue in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the SGM.

In the interest of all stakeholders’ health and safety and consistent with recent COVID-19 guidelines for prevention and control, the Company reminds all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the SGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative to attending the SGM in person, Shareholders are encouraged to consider appointing the Chairman of the SGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the SGM by submitting proxy forms with voting instructions inserted.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The Board proposes to implement the Capital Reorganisation which will involve the following:

  • (i) the Share Consolidation whereby every five (5) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of HK$0.05 each and any fractional Consolidated Share in the issued share capital of the Company arising from the Share Consolidation will be cancelled;

  • (ii) the Capital Reduction whereby the par value of each issued Consolidated Share will be reduced from HK$0.05 to HK$0.01 by cancelling the paid-up capital to the extent of HK$0.04 on each issued Consolidated Share and any fractional Consolidated Share in the issued share capital of the Company arising from the Share Consolidation will be cancelled;

  • (iii) the Share Subdivision of every unissued Consolidated Share of par value of HK$0.05 each in the authorised share capital of the Company into five (5) Adjusted Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each;

  • (iv) the Credit Transfer whereby the credit arising from the Capital Reduction in the amount equal to the total number of the then issued Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective multiplied by HK$0.04 shall be credited to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act; and

  • (v) the amount standing to the credit of the contributed surplus account be applied in full to set off the accumulated losses of the Company or be applied in any other manner as may be permitted under the Bye-laws and all applicable laws of Bermuda.

Effects of the Capital Reorganisation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$1,986,057,031 divided into 198,605,703,079 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each, and there are 1,151,859,658 Existing Shares in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and on the basis that no further Shares will be allotted, issued or repurchased prior thereto, the issued share capital of the Company will be HK$11,518,596.55 divided into 230,371,931 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.05 each.

The fractional Consolidated Shares in the issued share capital of the Company arising from the Share Consolidation, if any, will also be cancelled. Any fractional Consolidated Shares to which the Shareholders are entitled shall be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company.

Upon the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the par value of all the issued Consolidation Shares shall be reduced from HK$0.05 each to HK$0.01 each by cancelling the paid-up capital to the extent of HK$0.04 per Consolidated Share in issue.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Adjusted Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Bye-laws. The issued share capital will be reduced to HK$2,303,719.31 divided into 230,371,931 Adjusted Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each.

Based on 1,151,859,658 Existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, a credit of approximately HK$9,214,877.27 arising from the Capital Reduction will be transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act which, together with any credit which may arise as a result of the cancellation of any fraction in the issued share capital of the Company arising from the Share Consolidation, will be applied by the Board to set off the accumulated losses of the Company in full or be applied in any other manner as may be permitted under the Bye-laws and all applicable laws of Bermuda.

Other than the relevant expenses incurred and to be incurred, the implementation of the Capital Reorganisation will have no effect on the consolidated net asset value of the Group, nor will it alter the underlying assets, business, operations, management of financial position of the Company.

The Capital Reorganisation will not involve any diminution of any liability in respect of any unpaid capital of the Company or the repayment to the Shareholders of any unpaid capital of the Company nor will it result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

The following tables set out the effect of the Capital Reorganisation on the share capital of the Company before and after the implementation of the Capital Reorganisation, assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date until the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Adjustments in relation to other securities of the Company

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has outstanding Convertible Bonds which are convertible into 25,500,000 Existing Shares at the conversion price of HK$2.00 per Existing Share (subject to adjustment mechanism in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds). The Share Consolidation may lead to adjustments to the conversion price and/or the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the conversion right attached to the Convertible Bonds. The Company will notify the holders of the Convertible Bonds and the Shareholders by way of announcement (as and when appropriate) regarding adjustments to be made (if any) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds.

Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation

The Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of a special resolution to approve the Capital Reorganisation by the Shareholders at the SGM:

  • (ii) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation;

  • (iii) the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the laws of Bermuda, which includes publication of a notice in relation to the Capital Reduction in Bermuda in accordance with the Companies Act and the Directors being satisfied that on the date the Capital Reorganisation is to take effect, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Capital Reorganisation would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due, and the Listing Rules to effect the Capital Reorganisation; and

  • (iv) the obtaining of all necessary approvals from the regulatory authorities or otherwise as may be required in respect of the Capital Reorganisation.

Application for listing

Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Adjusted 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 Adjusted 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 trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rues of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

– 14 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Adjusted Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu in all respects with each other. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Adjusted Shares to be admitted into CCASS.

Fractional Shares

Fractional Consolidated Shares will not be issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional Consolidated Shares to which the Shareholders are entitled shall be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company.

Free exchange of share certificates

Subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the Shareholders may, on or after Tuesday, 26 October 2021 until Wednesday, 1 December 2021 (both days inclusive), submit share certificates for the Existing Shares (in red colour) 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, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates for the Adjusted Shares (in blue colour) (on the basis of five Existing Shares for one Adjusted Share). Thereafter, certificates for Existing Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) by the Shareholders for each share certificate for the Existing Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the Adjusted Shares, whichever the number of certificates cancelled/issued is higher. The existing share certificates will only be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes for the period up to 4:10 p.m. on Monday, 29 November 2021 (or such other date which may be announced by the Company) and will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for share certificates of the Adjusted Shares at any time in accordance with the foregoing.

Arrangement on odd lot trading

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Adjusted Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation, the Company has appointed Shun Loong Securities Company Limited (‘‘Shun Loong’’) as an agent to provide matching services, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Adjusted Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Adjusted Shares during the period from 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 9 November 2021 to 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 29 November 2021 (both dates inclusive).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION

Under 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. Further, pursuant to the requirements set out in ‘‘Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions’’ issued by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited, the expected board lot value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000 taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade. In view of the fact that the Shares had been traded below HK$0.10 on average and the Shares were trading at under $2,000 per board lot over the past five months (based on the closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange), the Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation in order to comply with the trading requirements of the Listing Rules. The Share Consolidation will reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. As such, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Shares.

Meanwhile, the Capital Reorganisation also involves the Capital Reduction which will reduce the par value of the issued Consolidation Shares from HK$0.05 per Consolidated Share to HK$0.01 per New Share. Under the laws of Bermuda, a company may not issue shares at a discount to the par value of such shares. Accordingly, the Capital Reduction will allow greater flexibility in the pricing for any issue of new Shares in the future.

The Board considers that (i) the Share Consolidation will reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Existing Share as a proportion of the market value of each board lot, since most of the banks/securities houses will charge a minimum transaction costs for each securities transaction; (ii) the Capital Reduction will reduce the par value of the Consolidated Shares, which will provide the Company with greater flexibility in possible fund raisings in the future; and (iii) the credit in the contributed surplus account of the Company arising from the Capital Reduction, which will enable the Company to set off against its accumulated losses (if any) in full or by the amount of such credits and may facilitate or be applied in any future distribution to the Shareholders or be applied in any other manner as the Board may deem fit as may be permitted under the applicable laws and the Bye-Laws.

As such, the Board is of the view that the Capital Reorganisation is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  • Maximum number of Rights : 691,115,793 Rights Shares (having considered that no new Shares Shares will be issued as a result of the Bond Holder’s Undertaking and assuming there is no other change in the total number of issued Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the Record Date), representing (i) 300% of the total issued Adjusted Shares upon the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective; and (ii) approximately 75% of the total number of issued Adjusted Shares as enlarged immediately upon completion of the Rights Issue.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Bond Holder’s Undertaking

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Sheen World International Holdings Limited, being holder of the Convertible Bonds, has signed the Bond Holder’s Undertaking not to exercise the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Bonds from the date of the Bond Holder’s Undertaking up to and including the Record Date.

The Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.205 per Rights Share, which shall be payable in full by a Qualifying Shareholder upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of the Rights Shares or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the Rights Shares. The Subscription Price represents:

  • (i) a discount of 28.07% to the adjusted closing price of HK$0.285 per Adjusted Share (based on the closing price of HK$0.057 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation);

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 22.05% to the adjusted average closing price of HK$0.263 per Adjusted Share (based on the average closing price of HK$0.0526 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation);

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 24.63% to the adjusted average closing price of HK$0.272 per Adjusted Share (based on the average closing price of HK$0.0544 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation);

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 8.89% to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of HK$0.225 per Adjusted Share (based on the closing price of HK$0.285 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and the number of Shares as enlarged by the Rights Shares and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation);

  • (v) a discount of 31.67% to the adjusted closing price of HK$0.3 per Adjusted Share (based on the closing price of HK$0.06 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation);

  • (vi) a cumulative theoretical dilution effect (the aggregation of the placing of new shares under specific mandate on 22 October 2020 and the Rights Issue) of approximately 22.61% represented by the cumulative theoretical diluted price of approximately HK$0.70 to the benchmarked price of HK$0.90 per Adjusted Share (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules, taking into account the higher of the closing price of HK$0.90 per Existing Share on 22 October 2020 and the average closing price of

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the Existing Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days prior to 22 October 2020 of HK$0.706 per Existing Share and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation); and

  • (vii) a discount of approximately 88.67% to the consolidated net asset value per Adjusted Share attributable to the Shareholders as at 30 June 2021 of approximately HK$1.81 per Adjusted Share calculated based on the unaudited consolidated net assets of the Group attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$417,309,000 as at 30 June 2021 as set out in the interim results announcement of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2021 and 230,371,931 Existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date after adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation.

The Subscription Price was determined with reference to (i) the prevailing market conditions; (ii) the prevailing market prices of the Shares; (iii) the current financial position of the Group; and (iv) the amount of funds the Company intends to raise under the Rights Issue.

Under the Rights Issue, each Qualifying Shareholder is entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares at the same price in proportion to his/her/its existing shareholding in the Company. The Company considers that the discount of the Subscription Price to the current market price (taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) will encourage them to participate in the Rights Issue.

The Directors (excluding the members of the Independent Board Committee, whose opinion will be provided after taking into account the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, are fair, reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Each Rights Share has a par value of HK$0.01.

The aggregate par value of the maximum number of Rights Shares will be HK$6,911,157.93.

Non-underwritten basis

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptances of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. In the event of an undersubscription of the Rights Issue, any Untaken Shares together with the NQS Unsold Shares will be placed on a best efforts basis by the Placing Agent to independent placees under the Placing. Any Untaken Shares and/or NQS Unsold Shares remain not placed under the Placing will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly.

The Bermuda legal adviser of the Company has confirmed that there is no minimum subscription amount required to be raised from the Rights Issue under Bermuda law.

– 19 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis, a Shareholder who applies to take up all or part of his/her/its entitlement under the PAL may unwittingly incur an obligation to make a general offer for the Shares and the Convertible Bonds under the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be made on terms that the Company will provide for the Shareholders (other than HKSCC Nominees Limited) to apply on the basis that if the Rights Shares are not fully taken up, the application of any Shareholder for his/her/its assured entitlement under the Rights Issue will be scaled down to a level which does not trigger an obligation on part of the relevant Shareholder to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code in accordance to the note to Rule 7.19(5)(b) of the Listing Rules.

Conditions of the Rights Issue

The Rights Issue is conditional on each of the following conditions being fulfilled:

  • (i) the Capital Reorganisation having become effective;

  • (ii) the passing by more than 50% of the votes cast by the Independent Shareholders by way of poll of all necessary resolutions to be proposed at the SGM for the transactions contemplated under the Rights Issue to be effective in compliance with the Listing Rules, including but not limited to approving, confirming and/or ratifying the Rights Issue, including the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares in their nilpaid and fully paid forms;

  • (iii) the issue by the Stock Exchange of a certificate authorising the registration of, and the registration with the Companies Registry, respectively, of one copy of each of the Prospectus Documents not later than the Posting Date and otherwise in compliance with the Listing Rules and the Companies (WUMP) Ordinance;

  • (iv) the posting of the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders and the posting of the Prospectus bearing a ‘‘For Information Only’’ stamp to the NonQualifying Shareholders, if any, for information purpose only on or before the Posting Date;

  • (v) the grant by the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange of the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in their nil-paid and fully paid forms (subject to customary conditions) and such approval not having been withdrawn or revoked; and

  • (vi) the compliance with any other mandatory requirements under the applicable laws and regulations of Hong Kong and Bermuda.

The conditions are incapable of being waived. If any of the above conditions is not satisfied at or prior to the respective time stipulated therein or 4:00 p.m. on the Rights Issue Settlement Date (as the case may be), the Rights Issue will not proceed.

Qualifying Shareholders and Non-Qualifying Shareholders

To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must be registered as a member of the Company on the Record Date and a Qualifying Shareholder.

Basis of provisional allotment

Under the Rights Issue, the basis of the provisional allotment shall be three (3) Rights Shares (in nil-paid form) for every one (1) Adjusted Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders as at 5:00 p.m. on the Record Date. There will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the Rights Issue.

Fractional entitlements to the Rights Shares

On the basis of the provisional allotment of three (3) Rights Shares for every one (1) Adjusted Share held on the Record Date, no fractional entitlements to the Rights Shares will arise under the Rights Issue. No odd lot matching services will be provided by the Company in respect of the Rights Shares.

Rights of Overseas Shareholders

The Prospectus Documents are not intended to be registered or filed under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong.

If there are Overseas Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date, the Overseas Shareholders may not be eligible to take part in the Rights Issue as explained below. The Board will make enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to Overseas Shareholders. If, based on legal advice, the Board is of the opinion that it would be necessary or expedient not to offer the Rights Shares to Overseas Shareholders on account of

– 21 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

either the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in such relevant jurisdiction, the Rights Issue will not be extended to such Overseas Shareholders. Further information in this connection will be set out in the Prospectus.

To the extent reasonably practicable and subject to the advice of legal advisers in the relevant jurisdictions in respect of applicable local laws and regulations, the Company will send copies of the Prospectus to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders for their information only, but will not send PALs to them. The Non-Qualifying Shareholders will not be entitled to any provisional allotment under the Rights Issue.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 4 Overseas Shareholders with registered addresses in the PRC, who hold an aggregate of 86,870,070 Shares, representing approximately 7.54% of the issued share capital of the Company. In compliance with the necessary requirements of the Listing Rules, the Company has made enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to such Overseas Shareholders. Based on the advice provided by the legal adviser as to the laws of the PRC, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the laws of the PRC impose no restrictions on extending the Rights Issue to such Overseas Shareholder located in the PRC, and the Company is not required to obtain any approvals for the despatch of the Prospectus Documents to such Overseas Shareholder. Accordingly, there was no NonQualifying Shareholder as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Company will continue to ascertain whether there are any other Overseas Shareholders on the Record Date and will, if necessary, make further enquiries with legal adviser(s) in other overseas jurisdiction(s) regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to such other Overseas Shareholders registered as a member of the Company on the Record Date and make relevant disclosures in the Prospectus.

Arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, had they been Qualifying Shareholders, to be sold in the market in their nil-paid form as soon as practicable after dealings in the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form commence and before dealings in the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form end, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. The proceeds of such sale, less expenses and stamp duty, of more than HK$100 will be paid to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders pro rata to their shareholdings held on the Record Date. In light of administrative costs, the Company will retain individual amounts of HK$100 or less for its own benefit.

Any NQS Unsold Shares will be placed by the Placing Agent at the price not less than the Subscription Price under the Placing together with the Untaken Shares. The proceeds of the sale as described above, less expenses and in the case of being sold by the Placing Agent, also less the Subscription Price and the Placing Agent’s commission, will be paid pro-rata (but rounded down to the nearest cent) to the relevant Non-Qualifying Shareholders’ and the No Action Shareholders’ shareholdings held on the Record Date on the basis of all NQS Unsold Shares and Untaken Shares in Hong Kong dollars. Any Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares remain not placed after completion of the Placing will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly.

– 22 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Overseas Shareholders should note that they may or may not be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue, subject to the results of the enquiries to be made by the Company. The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any acceptances of, or applications for, the Rights Shares where it believes that such acceptance or application would violate the applicable securities or other laws or regulations of any territory or jurisdiction. Accordingly, Overseas Shareholders should exercise caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their own professional advisers.

Share certificates and refund cheques for the Rights Shares

Subject to fulfilment of the conditions, and the proceeding, of the Rights Issue, share certificates for the fully-paid Rights Shares are expected to be posted by Thursday, 9 December 2021 to those entitled to them at their registered addresses by ordinary post at their own risk.

Application for listing and dealing arrangements of the Rights Shares

The Company will apply to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange. Dealings in the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms will be subject to the payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, transaction levy, investor compensation levy and other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

Rights Shares will be eligible for admission into CCASS

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange, the Rights Shares in both their nil- paid and fully-paid forms 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 Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange or such other dates as may be determined by HKSCC.

Procedures in respect of the Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares and the Placing

The Company will make arrangements described in Rule 7.21(1)(b) of the Listing Rule to dispose of the Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares by offering the Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares to independent placees for the benefit of Shareholders to whom they were offered by way of the Rights Issue. There will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the Rights Issue.

The Company therefore appointed the Placing Agent to place the Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares to independent placees on a best effort basis after the number of the Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares that are subject to the Placing Arrangement has been announced. Any premium over, the aggregate amount of (i) the Subscription Price for those Rights Shares; and (ii) the expenses of the Placing Agent (including any other related expenses/fees), that is realised will be paid to the No Action Shareholders and the NonQualifying Shareholders on a pro-rata basis. The Placing Agent will on a best effort basis, procure, by not later than 6:00 p.m., on the Placing End Date, acquirers for all (or as many as possible) of those Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares if a premium over the Subscription Price and the expenses of procuring such acquirers (including any related commissions and any other related expenses/fees) can be obtained. Any Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares remain not placed after completion of the Placing will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly. Net Gain (if any) will be paid (without interest) on pro-rata basis (on the basis of all Untaken Shares and NQS Unsold Shares) to the No Action Shareholders and the Non-Qualifying Shareholders (but rounded down to the nearest cent). It is proposed that Net Gain to any of the No Action Shareholder(s) or the Non-Qualifying Shareholders of HK$100 or more will be paid to them in Hong Kong Dollars only and the Company will retain individual amounts of less than HK$100 for its own benefit. Shareholders are reminded that Net Gain may or may not be realised, and accordingly the No Action Shareholders and the Non-Qualifying Shareholders may or may not receive any Net Gain.

On 3 August 2021, the Company and the Placing Agent entered into the Placing Agreement, pursuant to which the Company conditionally appointed the Placing Agent and the Placing Agent conditionally agreed to act as the placing agent for the Company to procure, on a best effort basis, placees to subscribe for the Placing Shares (i.e. the Untaken Shares and/or the NQS Unsold Share during the Rights Issue) on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Placing Agreement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Completion of the Placing

Subject to the fulfilment of conditions of the Placing as set out in the section headed ‘‘The Placing — Conditions of the Placing’’ of this circular, the completion of the Placing shall take place on the next business day after the Placing End Date (or such later date as the Company may announce).

The engagement between the Company and the Placing Agent of the Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Placing Agent and the Company and is on normal commercial terms. In particular, the Directors, taking into account the range of placing commission for recent rights issues conducted by issuers listed on the Stock Exchange, consider that the terms of Placing Agreement, including the placing commission, are normal commercial terms. Given that the Placing would provide (i) a distribution channel of the Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares; and (ii) a compensatory mechanism for the No Action Shareholders and Non-Qualified Shareholders, the Directors consider that the Placing Arrangement is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN THE SHARES

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that each of the Rights Issue and the Placing is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions. If any of the conditions of the Rights Issue and/or the Placing are not fulfilled, the Rights Issue and/or the Placing will not proceed. Any Shareholder or other person contemplating transferring, selling or purchasing Shares is advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares. Any person who is in any doubt about his/her/its position or any action to be taken is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional adviser(s). Any Shareholder or other person dealing in the Shares up to the date on which all the conditions to which the Rights Issue is subject are fulfilled or the Placing Long Stop Date, which is expected to be 4:00 p.m. on the Rights Issue Settlement Date, will accordingly bear the risk that the Rights Issue and/or Placing may not proceed.

REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE, THE PLACING AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in (i) manufacturing and trading of toys and gifts; (ii) exploration of natural resources; and (iii) investment in various potential businesses including fruit plantation, Chinese yellow rice wine, leisure and culture. As disclosed in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020, the Company recorded net current liabilities of approximately HK$278.14 million as at 31 December 2020. As at 31 December 2020, the Company had current liabilities of approximately HK$474.67 million, however, as at 31 December 2020, the Company had bank balances and cash of only approximately HK$21.65 million.

The Company has been using its best endeavour to improve the financial position of the Company. On 7 January 2021, the Company had completed a placing exercise and raised funds of approximately HK$29.57 million for repayment part of the Group’s outstanding

– 27 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

indebtedness. On 24 May 2021, the Company had completed a debt capitalisation exercise whereby part of the Group’s outstanding indebtedness of approximately HK$104.25 million had been capitalised.

As at 30 June 2021, the Company had current liabilities of approximately HK$433.95 million which mainly comprises (i) promissory notes and accrued interests in an aggregate amount of approximately HK$186.60 million; (ii) other short-term borrowings in an aggregate amount of approximately HK$93.62 million; (iii) other payables and accruals of approximately HK$118.83 million; and (iv) trade, tax payables and lease liabilities of approximately HK$34.90 million.

As disclosed in the Company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020, included in promissory notes are, among other things:

  • . a promissory note in the principal amount of HK$92 million issued by the Company for an acquisition of a target on 23 April 2015. It was subsequently discovered after the acquisition that the representations made by the vendor of the target in respect of the business of the target were false and misleading. Based on the legal advice from a senior counsel, the sale and purchase agreement regarding the acquisition was void or voidable by reason of fraudulent misrepresentation and the promissory note in dispute can be rescinded, and the vendor cannot enforce the promissory note in a dispute against the Company. The Directors are of the view that the possibility of the Company having to repay the amounts under the promissory note in dispute is remote; and

  • . 2 promissory notes in an aggregate amount of approximately HK$58.74 million issued by the Company to suppliers as trade deposits for purchasing wine and juice. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has yet to commence the purchase of wine and juice with those suppliers due to the COVID-19 pandemic and therefore, those amounts under the promissory notes were not obliged to be settled by the Company pursuant to the terms of the purchase contracts.

In addition, as at the Latest Practicable Date, creditors with an aggregate amount of approximately HK$108.28 million included in the current liabilities of the Company as at 30 June 2021 have agreed not to demand for repayment for the amount due before 31 December 2022. Regarding the trade, tax payables and lease liabilities in the amount of approximately HK$34.9 million, the Company considers that it is able to meet the payment obligation of such payables from cash flow generated from the Group’s existing business activities.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there is no outstanding winding-up petition against the Company.

– 28 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the above, the Group would have liabilities of approximately HK$140.03 million which are repayable within the next twelve months from 30 June 2021. Details of the above-mentioned short-term liabilities to be repaid within the next twelve months from 30 June 2021 are as follow:

Given that the Group had bank balances and cash of approximately HK$49 million as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company would not have sufficient financial resources to meet its imminent cash flow demand in view of the aforementioned liabilities.

In light of the above, the Company intends to raise funds by way of the Rights Issue. Assuming a maximum of 691,115,793 Rights Shares will be issued, the estimated gross proceeds of the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$141.7 million. The estimated expenses

– 29 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

in relation to the Rights Issue will amount to approximately HK$1.87 million and the estimated maximum net proceeds of the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$139.83 million. The net subscription price per Rights Share is expected to be approximately HK$0.202.

The Company intends to apply the entire net proceeds from the proposed Rights Issue for repayment of the Group’s short-term liabilities as above-mentioned. In the event of undersubscription of the Rights Issue, the entire proceeds from the Rights Issue and the Placing would be applied for the repayment of the Group’s short-term liabilities as abovementioned. The Company will issue further announcement to update the Shareholders and potential investors the amount of actual proceeds and its intended usage.

Based on the above, the Directors confirm that the Company will have sufficient working capital in the coming twelve (12) months upon completion of the Rights Issue and/or Placing.

Regarding the Group’s indebtedness in the amount of HK$108.28 million which the creditors have agreed not to demand for repayment for the amount due before 31 December 2022, the Company plans to settle the above-mentioned indebtedness from the operating cash inflow of the Group’s toys and gifts business as well as the newly acquired Chinese herbs business in May 2021. Depending on the then repayment progress when the above-mentioned indebtedness from time to time, the Company will try its best endeavor to negotiate with the creditors for further extension of repayment schedule. In the event that such negotiation fails or the result is not satisfactory, the Company intends to, subject to the then market condition, conduct further fund raising activities in order to satisfy any outstanding indebtedness of the Group. However, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any agreement, arrangement, understanding, intention, or negotiation (either concluded or in process) on any potential fundraising activities which will involve issue of equity securities of the Company. The Company will make further announcement in this regard in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

Other than the Rights Issue, the Company has considered other debt/equity fund raising alternatives such as bank borrowings, placing or an open offer. Given the net current liabilities position and the loss-making position of the Group, the Company considers that the Group’s ability to obtain borrowings at favourable terms is limited. On the other hand, as the fundraising size of the Rights Issue is large compared with previous placings conducted by the Company, such large-size placing will significantly dilute the interests of Shareholders without giving them the opportunity to take part in the exercise. Also, as opposed to an open offer, the Rights Issue enables the Shareholders to sell the nil-paid rights in the market. The Rights Issue will give the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interests in the Company and to continue to participate in the future development of the Company.

Having considered the abovementioned alternatives, the Directors (excluding the members of the Independent Board Committee, whose opinion will be provided after taking into account the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) consider raising funds by way of the Rights Issue is more appropriate as the Rights Issue will enable the Company to strengthen its

– 30 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

working capital base and enhance its financial position, while at the same time, allowing the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their proportional shareholdings in the Company, and thus, in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has outstanding Convertible Bonds which are convertible into 25,500,000 Existing Shares at the conversion price of HK$2 per Share (subject to adjustment mechanism in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds). The Rights Issue may lead to adjustments to the conversion price and/or the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the conversion right attached to the Convertible Bonds. The Company will notify the holders of the Convertible Bonds and the Shareholders by way of announcement (as and when appropriate) regarding adjustments to be made (if any) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds.

EQUITY FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS FROM THE DATE OF THE FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

The Company had carried out the following equity fundraising activities in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of the First Announcement:

For details, please refer to the circular of the Company dated 30 March 2021 and the announcement of the Company dated 27 May 2021.

As a result of the abovementioned placement and subscription, the financial position of the Company was improved and the unaudited net assets and bank balances and cash increased to approximately HK$417.3 million and approximately HK$53.2 million respectively as at 30 June 2021.

Save as disclosed above, the Company has not conducted any other equity financing activity in the past 12 months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

2. Reasons for the Rights Issue and proposed use of net proceeds

The Group is principally engaged in (i) manufacturing and trading of toys and gifts; (ii) exploration of natural resources; and (iii) investment in various potential businesses including fruit plantation, Chinese yellow rice wine, leisure and culture.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Company has been using its best endeavour to improve the financial position of the Company such as the aforesaid fundraising activities post financial year ended 31 December 2020. According to the Interim Results Announcement, as at 30 June 2021, the Company had unaudited current liabilities of approximately HK$433.9 million comprising mainly (i) promissory notes of approximately HK$186.6 million; (ii) borrowings of approximately HK$93.6 million; (iii) accruals and other payables of approximately HK$118.8 million; and (iv) trade payables of approximately HK$33.0 million. As set out the Letter from the Board, among these current liabilities, approximately HK$140.0 million are considered repayable within the next twelve months from 30 June 2021 and the Company’s cash and bank balance is insufficient to meet its imminent cash flow demand.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Assuming no Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company on or before the Record Date and a maximum of 691,115,793 Rights Shares will be issued under the Rights Issue, the maximum gross proceeds and estimated net proceeds (after deducting all relevant expenses relating to the Rights Issue) of the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$141.7 million and HK$139.8 million respectively. The Company intends to apply the entire net proceeds from the proposed Rights Issue for repayment of the Group’s abovementioned short-term liabilities which are considered repayable within the next twelve months from 30 June 2021. In the event of undersubscription of the Rights Issue, the Company will issue further announcement to update the Shareholders and potential investors the amount of actual proceeds from the entire proceeds from the Rights Issue and the Placing and its intended usage.

As part of our due diligence, we have enquired the terms of the current liabilities and noted that majority of (i) promissory notes (other than the interest-free notes relating to acquisition in April 2015 and as trade deposit for purchasing wine and juice as detailed in the Letter from the Board); and (ii) short-term borrowings bear interest rate over 10% per annum. We have also independently calculated the implied cost of capital for the Rights Issue (being the percentage of estimated expenses in relation to the Rights Issue (e.g. professional fee and relevant expenses) to the maximum gross proceeds of the Rights Issue) and noted that the implied cost of capital of approximately 1.3% is substantially lower than the aforesaid interest rates of existing notes and borrowings. Therefore, it is reasonable for the Company to source capital at a lower cost by the Rights Issue to repay such higher cost current liabilities which will become due in near future.

As majority of the assets of the Company were non-current in nature comprising mainly investment in associates and leasehold land and buildings, we have enquired and were advised by the Company that most of the associates invested by the Company are being held as long term investment and the leasehold land and buildings were occupied by the Group for its operation. Hence, the Company has no current intention to dispose of such assets for capital.

We also noted from the Annual Report that the auditors of the Company was in the opinion that since the Group incurred a loss for the year ended 31 December 2020 and was in net current liability position of as at 31 December 2020 which indicated the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. According to the Interim Results Announcement, such net current liabilities continued as at 30 June 2021.

Based on the above and the fact that the Rights Issue will give all the Qualifying Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital base of the Company without diluting their corresponding shareholdings and to participate in the long-term growth of the Company at a price lower than the current market level, we concur with the view of the Company that it is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company to conduct the Rights Issue to support the imminent capital need of the Group and the intended use of proceeds are reasonable and commercially justifiable.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

3. Alternative financing methods

As stated in the Letter from the Board, other financing alternatives were considered, including, among other things, (i) debt financing such as bank borrowings; and (ii) equity financing such as placing of new shares and open offer.

Given the net current liabilities position and the loss-making position of the Group, the Company considers that the Group’s ability to obtain borrowings at favourable terms is limited. We were also advised by the Company that they have attempted to obtain loan financing from a principal bank for financing the Company but it was unlikely for the Company to obtain loan in view of its financial performance. In addition, as discussed with the management of the Company, debt financing may not be appropriate to the Group as debt financing (i) may further increase financial costs of the Company; (ii) will increase in the gearing of the Company may expose the Group to higher financial risk, especially in interest rate increases; and (iii) is normally for fixed term and the success and timing of renewal would materially affect the liquidity of the Company.

On the other hand, as the fundraising size of the Rights Issue is large compared with previous placings conducted by the Company, such large-size placing will significantly dilute the interests of Shareholders without giving them the opportunity to take part in the exercise. Also, as opposed to an open offer, the Rights Issue enables the Shareholders to sell the nil-paid rights in the market. The Rights Issue will give the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding interests in the Company and to continue to participate in the future development of the Company.

Having considered other fund raising alternatives for the Company as disclosed above, and taking into account the benefits and cost of each of the alternatives, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors whose views are expressed in the letter from the Independent Board Committee) are of the view that the Rights Issue is the most appropriate fundraising option to the Company and is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

4. Principal terms of the Rights Issue

  • 4.1 Rights Issue statistics

Basis of the Rights Issue : Three (3) Rights Shares for every one (1) Adjusted Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date Subscription price : HK$0.205 per Rights Share

  • Maximum number of : 691,115,793 Rights Shares Rights Shares (having considered that no new Shares will be issued as a result of the Bond Holder’s Undertaking and assuming there is no other change in the total number of issued Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the Record Date), representing (i) 300% of the total issued Adjusted Shares upon the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective; and (ii) approximately 75% of the total number of issued Adjusted Shares as enlarged immediately upon completion of the Rights Issue.

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptances of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. In the event of an undersubscription of the Rights Issue, any Untaken Shares together with the NQS Unsold Shares will be placed on a best efforts basis by the Placing Agent to independent placees under the Placing. Any Untaken Shares and/or NQS Unsold Shares remain not placed under the Placing will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly.

As the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis, a Shareholder who applies to take up all or part of his/her/its entitlement under the PAL may unwittingly incur an obligation to make a general offer for the Shares and the Convertible Bonds under the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be made on terms that the Company will provide for the Shareholders (other than HKSCC Nominees Limited) to apply on the basis that if the Rights Shares are not fully taken up, the application of any Shareholder for his/her/its assured entitlement

– 46 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

under the Rights Issue will be scaled down to a level which does not trigger an obligation on part of the relevant Shareholder to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code in accordance to the note to Rule 7.19(5)(b) of the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Sheen World International Holdings Limited, being holder of the Convertible Bonds, has signed the Bond Holder’s Undertaking not to exercise the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Bonds from the date of the Bond Holder’s Undertaking up to and including the Record Date.

4.2 Subscription Price

In order to access the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we set out the following informative analysis for illustrative purpose only.

Historical price movement analysis

The Subscription Price of HK$0.205 per Rights Share, which will be payable in full upon application, represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 31.7% to the adjusted closing price of HK$0.3 per Adjusted Share (based on the closing price of HK$0.06 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation);

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 28.1% to the adjusted closing price of HK$0.285 per Adjusted Share (based on the closing price of HK$0.057 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation);

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 22.1% to the average closing price of HK$0.263 per Adjusted Share (based on the average closing price of approximately HK$0.0526 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation);

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 24.6% to the average closing price of HK$0.272 per Adjusted Share (based on the average closing price of approximately HK$0.0544 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation);

– 47 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (v) a discount of approximately 8.9% to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of approximately HK$0.225 per Adjusted Share (based on the closing price of HK$0.285 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and the number of Shares as enlarged by the Rights Shares and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation);

  • (vi) a cumulative theoretical dilution effect (the aggregation of the placing of new shares under specific mandate announced on 22 October 2020 and the Rights Issue) of approximately 22.6% represented by the theoretical diluted price of approximately HK$0.7 to the benchmarked price of approximately HK$0.9 per Adjusted Share (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules, taking into account the higher of the closing price of HK$0.9 per Existing Share on 22 October 2020 and the average closing price of the Existing Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days prior to 22 October 2020 of HK$0.706 per Existing Share and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation); and

  • (vii) a discount of approximately 88.7% to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per Adjusted Share (the ‘‘NAV per Share’’) attributable to the Shareholders as at 30 June 2021 of approximately HK$1.81 per Adjusted Share calculated based on the audited consolidated net assets of the Group attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$417,309,000 as at 30 June 2021 as set out in the Interim Results Announcement and 230,371,931 Existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date after adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation.

According to the Letter from the Board, the Subscription Price was determined with reference to (i) the prevailing market conditions; (ii) the prevailing market prices of the Shares; (iii) the current financial position of the Group; and (iv) the amount of funds the Company intends to raise under the Rights Issue.

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have reviewed the movements in the closing price of the Shares during the period from 4 August 2020, being 12 months immediately preceding the Last Trading Day, to the Latest Practicable Date (the ‘‘Price Review Period’’). We consider that a period of 12 months is adequate to illustrate the recent price movements of the Shares for conducting a reasonable comparison between the closing price of the Shares and the Subscription Price.

Although the Subscription Price (taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) appears to be at a substantial discount to the NAV per Adjusted Share as at 30 June 2021, we consider that the NAV per Share is not a meaningful benchmark to assess the Subscription Price as the Shares have been generally traded at significant discount to the NAV per Share in the open market during the Price Review Period. Given the recent market price of the Shares have already reflected the expectation of the investors to the Company such as financial results and corporate actions of the Company and the recent market sentiment, we consider that recent market price of the Shares to be relevant for our assessment to the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price.

As illustrated in the above chart, the closing price of the Shares has been on a decreasing trend in general during the Price Review Period from HK$0.22 per Share on 4 August 2020 to HK$0.057 per Share on the Last Trading Day and remained at HK$0.06 per Share as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Company announced a placing of new Shares under specific mandate for repayment of the Group’s indebtedness and the closing price of the Share increased to HK$0.222 per Share on the next day.

The Company announced a major transaction in relation to issue of new Shares under specific mandate for debt capitalisation on 3 November 2020 and inside information on an acquisition on 4 November 2020. Several supplemental announcements were made by the Company in relation to the aforesaid debt capitalisation and possible acquisition. The closing price of the Shares decreased to HK$0.169 per Share on 30 November 2020 and further to HK$0.138 per Share on 31 December 2020.

On 7 January 2021, the Company announced the completion of placing of new Shares under specific mandate (initially announced on 22 October 2020) and the net proceeds would be fully utilised to repay the Group’s outstanding indebtedness. Since then, the closing price of the Shares gradually increased until reaching HK$0.290 per Share on 9 March 2021 and 10 March 2021. In early March 2021, the Company announced (i) a winding up petition filed in the High Court of The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region against the Company and relevant settlement by the Company; (ii) business update on the Company’s associated company in relation to its property project in Samoa as impacted by COVID-19 pandemic; and (iii) a possible acquisition from connected persons of the Company (terminated in mid-March 2021). On 31 March 2021, the Company announced its final results for the year ended 31 December 2020.

After the drop in closing price of the Shares since mid-March 2021, the closing price of the Shares continued to decrease between April 2021 and July 2021 and further to HK$0.057 per Share on the Last Trading Day. On 9 August 2021, the Company announced inside information on possible acquisition and entering into of the memorandum of understanding in respect of establish of a joint venture and closing price of the Shares surged to HK$0.093 per Share on the same day. Nevertheless the increase in the Share price was not sustainable and decreased to HK$0.055 on 31 August 2021 and the Company published the Interim Results Announcement after trading hours on the same day. On 14 September 2021, the Company made an announcement in relation to the Group’s acquisition of 51% interests in a company which is in the process of securing the fluorspar mining concession and processing plant, etc. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the closing price of the Shares was HK$0.06 per Share.

In the Price Review Period, the highest closing price of the Shares was HK$0.31 per Share on 27 October 2020 and the lowest closing price of the Shares was HK$0.05 per Share from 28 July 2021 respectively. The Subscription Price (after adjustment to the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) represents a discount of approximately 86.8% and 18.0% to the highest and the lowest closing price of the Shares in the Price Review Period respectively. The Shares were traded above the Subscription Price (after adjustment to the effect

of the Capital Reorganisation) throughout the Price Review Period. Hence, we consider it is fair and reasonable for the Company to determine the Subscription Price with reference the prevailing market price of the Shares and a discount (which will be analysed below) to enhance the attractiveness of the Rights Issue.

Historical trading volume and liquidity analysis

We have also reviewed the historical trading volume of the Shares during the Price Review Period. The number of trading days, average daily trading volume of the Shares and the percentages of daily trading volume of the Shares as compared to the total number of issued Shares and the Shares held by the public during the Price Review Period are shown in the table below.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Notes:

  1. Calculated based on the total number of the Shares in issue at the end of month/ period.

  2. Calculated based on the total number of the Shares in public hands at the end of month/period according to the public information on the Stock Exchange.

  3. Represents number of trading days and trading volume for the period from 4 August 2020 to 31 August 2020, both days inclusive.

  4. Represents number of trading days and trading volume for the period from 1 September 2021 to the Latest Practicable Date, both days inclusive.

As demonstrated in the table above, during the Price Review Period, the average daily trading volume of the Shares by month/period were in the range of approximately 0.1427% to 5.2191% as to the total number of issued Shares and approximately 0.1440% to 5.2581% as to the total number of Shares held in public hands respectively. The above statistics revealed that the liquidity of the Shares was relatively low in the open market. On this basis and the closing price of the Shares generally showed a decreasing trend during the Price Review Period, we concur with the Directors that the discount to the Share price would encourage Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and accordingly maintain their shareholdings in the Company. For this reason, we are of the view that the discount to the Share price as represented by the Subscription Price is justifiable.

Rights Issue comparable analysis

In order to further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Rights Issue, we have identified an exhaustive list of 35 rights issue transactions (the ‘‘Comparables’’) announced by other companies listed on the Stock Exchange for the period from six months immediately prior to the Last Trading Day (the ‘‘Comparable Review Period’’) and up to the Latest Practicable Date. Shareholders should note that the subject companies in the Comparables may have different principal business activities, market capitalisations, profitability and financial positions as compared to those of the Company. Although the circumstances surrounding such Comparables may be different from those relating to the Company, we consider that the Comparable Review Period is adequate and fair and reasonable to capture the prevailing market conditions in relation to rights issue transactions which the Comparables, for illustrative purpose only, serve as a general reference for prevailing market practices in relation to rights issue transactions conducted by the companies listed in the Stock Exchange.

Note: The potential maximum dilution effect of each rights issue is calculated as number of rights shares issued or to be issued under the basis of entitlement divided by the total number of shares as enlarged by the rights issue according to their respective basis of entitlements and assuming all rights shares have been/will be allotted and issued times 100%.

We noted from the above table that almost all of the Comparables had set the subscription price of their rights issue at a discount to the prevailing market price of the relevant shares before the relevant announcements in respect of the rights issue were made. Therefore we consider it is a normal market practice for listed companies to set the subscription price of rights issue at a discount to the prevailing market price of the relevant shares so as to encourage the shareholders’ participation. The discount/premium represented by the subscription prices to/over the closing price of shares of the Comparables on respective last trading day ranges from a discount of approximately 65.00% to a premium of approximately 8.70% with mean and median discount of approximately 28.91% and 23.40% respectively. The discount of approximately 28.07% of the Subscription Price to the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day falls within the range of those of the Comparables and is comparable to the mean discount of the Comparables.

The subscription prices of the Comparables represent a range from a discount of approximately 55.38% to a premium of approximately 2.04% relative to their respective theoretical ex-rights prices as disclosed in relevant announcements. The discount of approximately 8.89% of the Subscription Price to the theoretical ex-rights prices of the Shares on the Last Trading Day is lower than the mean and median discount of the Comparables and within the range.

Based on the above analysis and the facts that (i) the Shares were traded above the Subscription Price (taking into account the effect of the Capital Reorganisation) throughout the Comparable Review Period; (ii) the liquidity in

– 54 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

trading of the Shares was thin during the Comparable Review Period; (iii) it is common for the listed companies in Hong Kong to set the subscription price of rights issue at a discount to the market price of the listed shares in order to enhance the attractiveness of the rights issue transactions; (iv) the discounts of the Subscription Price to the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day fall within the range of the Comparables; (v) the interest of the Qualifying Shareholders will not be prejudiced by the discount of the Subscription Price as long as they are offered with an equal opportunity to participate in the Rights Issue and subscribe for the Rights Shares; and (vi) those Qualifying Shareholders who do not wish to subscribe for their pro-rata entitlement of the Rights Shares can receive economic benefits from selling their nil-paid Rights Shares in the market, we consider that the Subscription Price is on normal commercial term and fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

4.3 Application for excess Rights Shares

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Qualifying Shareholders will not be entitled to subscribe for any Rights Shares in excess of their respective entitlements. We have reviewed the Comparables, and noted that 12 out of 35 Comparables did not offer excess application to their shareholders. Furthermore, 17 out of 35 Comparables were conducted on non-underwritten basis, among which 9 of them did not offer excess application to their shareholders. Therefore, we consider that the absence of excess application arrangement is not an uncommon market practice.

After having considered the facts that (i) the Rights Issue will give the Qualifying Shareholders an equal and fair opportunity to maintain their respective pro rata shareholding interests in the Company; (ii) the Qualifying Shareholders who accept their respective entitlements under the Rights Issue in full can maintain their respective existing shareholdings in the Company after completion of the Rights Issue; and (iii) the absence of excess application arrangement is not an uncommon market practice, we are of the view that the absence of excess application arrangement is acceptable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

5. Compensatory Arrangements

According to the Letter from Board, the Company would make arrangements described in Rule 7.21(1)(b) of the Listing Rule to dispose of the Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares by offering the Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares to independent placees for the benefit of Shareholders to whom they were offered by way of the rights (i.e. the Compensatory Arrangements). Therefore, on 3 August 2021 (after trading hours), the Company and the Placing Agent entered into the Placing Agreement, pursuant to which the Placing Agent has conditionally agreed to procure Placee(s), on a best effort basis, to subscribe for the Untaken Shares and the NQS Unsold Shares. Please refer to the section headed ‘‘The Placing Agreement’’ in the Letter from the Board for the details of the Placing Agreement.

– 55 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

5.1 Placing Price

Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the placing price (the ‘‘Placing Price’’) of each of the Untaken Share and/or the NQS Unsold Share shall be not less than the Subscription Price. The final price determination is depended on the demand and market conditions of the Untaken Shares and/or the NQS Unsold Shares during the process of the Placing.

Given that (i) the Placing Price shall be not less than the Subscription Price, which is not prejudicial to the interests of the Qualifying Shareholders; and (ii) the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable as discussed in the paragraph headed ‘‘4.2 Subscription Price’’ above, we consider that the Placing Price is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

5.2 Placing Commission

Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the Company shall pay the Placing Agent a placing commission (the ‘‘Placing Commission’’) of 0.50% of the amount which is equal to the Placing Price multiplied by the Untaken Shares and NQS Unsold Shares that have been successfully placed by the Placing Agent. As advised by the Company, the Placing Commission was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Placing Agent and is on normal commercial terms, and the Directors, have taken into account the range of placing commission for recent rights issues conducted by issuers listed on the Stock Exchange.

As illustrated in table above, the placing/underwriting commission rate of the Comparables ranged from 1.00% to 7.07% (except those underwritten by connected persons). The Placing Commission falls below the range of the placing/underwriting commission rate of the Comparables. Accordingly, we consider that the Placing Commission is fair and reasonable.

We have also reviewed other major terms of the Placing Agreement, including but not limited to the conditions and termination clause of the Placing Agreement (details of which are set out in the Letter from the Board) and we are not aware of any term which is unusual. As such, we are of the view that the terms of the Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

In view of the above, we consider that the implementation of the Compensatory Arrangements is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

6. Dilution effect of the Rights Issue on shareholding interests

All Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares. For those Qualifying Shareholders who take up their full provisional allotments under the Rights Issue, their proportionate shareholding interests in the Company will remain unchanged after the Rights Issue. Qualifying Shareholders who do not accept the Rights Issue can, subject to the then prevailing market conditions, consider selling their nil-paid rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the market. However, they and the Non-Qualifying Shareholders should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted upon completion of the Rights Issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the existing public Shareholders held approximately 99.51% of the total issued share capital of the Company. Upon completion of the Rights Issue (assuming none of the Rights Shares are subscribed for by the Qualifying Shareholders), the shareholding of the existing public Shareholders will be diluted to approximately 24.88%.

As set out in table above, the maximum dilution of the Comparables ranged from approximately 12.5% to approximately 75.0% with an average dilution of approximately 43.9%. For the Non-Qualifying Shareholders and those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up their full provisional allotments under the Rights Issue, depending on the extent to which they subscribe for the Rights Shares, their shareholding interests in the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue will be diluted by up to a maximum of approximately 75.0%, which fall within the range of the Comparables.

In all cases of rights issue, the dilution on the shareholding of those qualifying shareholders who do not take up in full their provisional allotments under the rights issue is inevitable. In fact, the dilution magnitude of any rights issue depends mainly on the extent of the basis of entitlement under such exercise since the higher offering ratio of new shares to existing shares is, the greater the dilution on the shareholding would be.

Having considered (i) the dilution effect is not prejudicial as all Qualifying Shareholders are offered an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital base of the Company and Independent Shareholders’ interests in the Company will not be diluted if they elect to exercise their full provisional allotments under the Rights Issue; (ii) the Qualifying Shareholders have the opportunity to realise their nil-paid rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the market, subject to availability; (iii) shareholding dilution is inherent in rights issue in general; and (iv) the positive impact on the financial position of the Group as a result of the Rights Issue as detailed in paragraph headed ‘‘7. Financial effects’’ below, we are of the view that the potential dilution effect on the shareholding, which may only happen to the Qualifying Shareholders who decide not to subscribe for their pro-rata Rights Shares, is justifiable.

7. Financial effects

It should be noted that the analysis below is for illustrative purpose only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon completion of the Rights Issue.

– 57 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

7.1 Net tangible assets

According to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group as set out in Appendix II to the Circular, had the Rights Issue been completed on 30 June 2021, the unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to the Shareholders would have increased from approximately HK$284.9 million to approximately HK$424.8 million immediately after the completion of the Rights Issue.

7.2 Bank balances

Upon completion of the Rights Issue and before the repayment of the Group’s short term liabilities as intended by the Company, the bank balances of the Company is expected to increase by an amount equivalent to the net proceeds from the Rights Issue, which is estimated to be approximately HK$139.8 million.

7.3 Gearing

Since all the net proceeds from the Rights Issue are intended to be used to repay the current liabilities of the Company, the total liabilities of the Company are expected to decrease as a result of the Rights Issue. Accordingly, the gearing ratio of the Company, as expressed as the ratio of debt to equity, would decrease after the Rights Issue.

Based on the above analysis, we are of the view that the Rights Issue would have a positive effect on the Group’s net tangible assets, cash position and gearing.

RECOMMENDATION

Taking into consideration of the above principal factors and reasons, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Rights Issue are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders, to vote in favor of the relevant resolution(s) proposed at the SGM thereby approving the Rights Issue.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Sorrento Capital Limited Wesker Poon

Managing Director
