To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND NOTICE OF EGM
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 17 January 2023 in relation to the Share Consolidation.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with details of the Share Consolidation and the notice of the EGM.

* For identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Effects of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$50,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 1,390,280,000 Existing Shares have been issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that no further Existing Shares are allotted, issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the EGM, the authorised share capital of the Company shall become HK$50,000,000 divided into 250,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.20 each, of which 69,514,000 Consolidated Shares (which are fully paid or credited as fully paid) will be in issue upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
Implementation of the Share Consolidation will not, of itself, alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests of the Shareholders, except for the payment of the related expenses. The Share Consolidation does not involve any diminution of any liability in respect of any unpaid capital of the Company or the repayment to the Shareholders of any paid-up capital of the Company nor will it result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation is conditional on:
-
(1) the passing of the necessary ordinary resolution by the Shareholders approving the Share Consolidation at the EGM;
-
(2) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and
-
(3) the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the laws of the Cayman Islands and the Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation.
Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Share Consolidation, the effective date of the Share Consolidation is expected to be on Wednesday, 1 March 2023, being the second Business Day after the EGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions above had been fulfilled.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Listing and dealings
Application has been made to the Stock Exchange for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue and to be issued arising from the Share Consolidation.
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.
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu in all respects with each other as to all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS.
None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt in on any other 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, there are outstanding share options (the “ Share Options ”) entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for 98,800,000 Existing Shares under the share option scheme of the Company which was adopted on 20 October 2017 (the “ Share Option Scheme ”). The Share Consolidation will lead to adjustments to the exercise prices of the Share Options and the number of Consolidated Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the outstanding Share Options, such adjustment to be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Share Option Scheme, Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules and the Supplementary Guidance on Adjustments to the Exercise Price and Number of Share Options under the Listing Rule Requirements dated 5 September 2005 (the “ Supplementary Guidance ”). Further announcement will be made by the Company regarding the adjustments to the Share Options on or before the effective date of the Share Consolidation.
Save as disclosed above, 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, Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION
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. According to the “Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions” issued by the Stock Exchange on 28 November 2008 and updated on 1 October 2020, (i) market price of the securities of an issuer at a level less than HK$0.10 will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules; and (ii) taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000. In view of the recent market price of the Existing Shares, the Directors resolved to propose the Share Consolidation with the view to complying with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules.
In view of the recent trading prices of the Existing Shares at the level of below HK$0.10 and board lot value of below HK$2,000, the Share Consolidation would bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the market price of the Consolidated Shares, which would enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules. The Share Consolidation would reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Consolidated Shares as a proportion of the market value of each board lot, since most of the banks/securities houses will charge a minimum transaction cost for each securities transaction.
The Board considers that the Share Consolidation would maintain the transaction amount for each board lot at a reasonable level in order to attract more investors and extend the base of the Shareholders, and thus provide flexibility for equity fund raising of the Company in the future. Accordingly, the Company considers the Share Consolidation is justifiable, notwithstanding the costs incurred by the Company and the impact arising from the creation of odd lots to the Shareholders. The Board considers that the Share Consolidation is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate actions in the next 12 months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Consolidation and the Company does not have any other concrete plan or arrangement to conduct any other fund raising activities in the next 12 months. However, the Board cannot rule out the possibility that the Company will conduct debt and/or equity fund raising exercises when suitable fund raising and/or investment opportunities arise in order to meet its operational needs or support future development of the Group. The Company will make further announcement in this regard in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
NO CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
The Existing Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in board lot size of 5,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain unchanged at 5,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot. Based on the closing price of HK$0.027 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.54 per Consolidated Share) as at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the value per board lot of 5,000 Existing Shares is HK$135; and (ii) the value per board lot of 5,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,700 on the assumption that the Share Consolidation becomes effective.
OTHER ARRANGEMENTS
Free exchange of share certificates
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, Shareholders may, on or after Wednesday, 1 March 2023 until Tuesday, 11 April 2023 (both days inclusive), submit share certificates for the Existing Shares to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited, at Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares, on the basis of twenty (20) Existing Shares for one (1) Consolidated 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 Consolidated Shares, whichever the number of certificates cancelled/issued is higher. After 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, 4 April 2023, existing share certificates for the Existing Shares will only remain effective as documents of legal title and may be exchanged for certificates for the Consolidated Shares at any time but will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes.
The new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be issued in green colour in order to distinguish them from the share certificates for the Existing Shares which are in blue colour.
Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares
Fractional Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, 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 benefits 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 existing share certificates held by such holder.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Odd lots arrangement and matching services
In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed Gransing Securities Co., Limited as its agent to provide matching services, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this service should contact Ms. Annie Wong of Gransing Securities Co., Limited at Unit 4103, 41/F, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong or at telephone number (852) 3162 6883 during office hours (9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.) on working days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays) for the period from Wednesday, 15 March 2023 to Tuesday, 4 April 2023 (both days inclusive).
Shareholders with odd lot holdings of the Consolidated Shares should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is on a best efforts basis. Successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. In addition, odd lots might be sold below the trading price of full board lots of the Shares. Shareholders who are in any doubt about the odd lot arrangement are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.
EGM
A notice of the EGM is set out from pages EGM-1 to EGM-3 of this circular.

To ascertain shareholders’ eligibility to attend and vote at the EGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Wednesday, 22 February 2023 to Monday, 27 February 2023, both days inclusive, during which period no transfer of Shares will be effected.
