REASONS FOR THE PLACING OF CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company is an investment holding company and the Group is principally engaged in the design, manufacturing and distribution of personal computer based products and distribution of a wide range of personal computer and non-personal computer products through its extensive distribution network.
The Board considers raising funds by Placing of Convertible Bonds is justifiable considering the recent market conditions which represent an opportunity for the Company to enhance its working capital and strengthen its capital base and financial position for the future development of the Group. The Directors consider that the Placing of Convertible Bonds is an appropriate means of raising additional capital for the Company since it will not have an immediate dilution effect on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders.
11
The Directors consider that the Placing Agreement is entered into upon normal commercial terms following arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent and that the terms and conditions of the Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole are concerned. The Directors also consider that the Placing will strengthen the financial position of the Group.
Assuming the maximum amount of the Convertible Bonds is placed under the Placing, the net proceeds from the Placing, after the deduction of related expenses, are estimated to be approximately HK$114 million. Following the change in control of the Company and the appointment of new Directors in June and July 2017 respectively, the Board has commenced a detailed review of the existing business of the Group and explored other business opportunities to create value for the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The net proceeds from the Placing are intended to be used as to approximately HK$14 million for general working capital of the Group and as to approximately HK$100 million for new business opportunities that may be identified by the Company. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has not entered into any agreement or arrangement in respect of any acquisitions of new business. In the event no suitable new business can be identified, such portion of the proceeds may be reallocated for general working uses if the Directors consider appropriate.
FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS
The Company has not carried out other fund raising activities during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of this announcement.
GENERAL MANDATE
Upon exercise in full of the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price, 182,539,682 Conversion Shares shall be allotted and issued under the General Mandate. The General Mandate entitles the Directors to allot, issue and deal with the Shares not exceeding 20% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the annual general meeting of the Company held on 11 November 2016 approving the General Mandate.
The maximum number of Shares allowed to be allotted and issued under the General Mandate was 184,316,956 Shares. As at the date of this announcement, none of the Shares have been issued by the Company under the General Mandate. Accordingly, the Placing is not subject to the Shareholders’ approval.
Completion of the Placing is subject to the fulfilment of the conditions precedent provided for in the paragraph headed “The Placing Agreement – Conditions Precedent” above. As the Placing may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
