REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The Group is principally engaged in the businesses of coal mining, and mineral resources and commodities trading. The Directors consider that the Subscription will increase the capital base of the Company, provide funding for the general working capital of the Group and assist in reducing liabilities of the Group. Furthermore, the Subscription serves to convert part of the outstanding principal of the Short Term Loan into equity capital of the Company and, therefore, can reduce the amount of borrowings of the Group and improve its working capital position in an efficient and effective manner. The Directors are of the opinion that it is in the interest of the Company to preserve as much liquidity as possible in order to strengthen the Group’s financial position and secure a sustainable business growth.

Having considered the above, the Board considers that the Subscription Agreement is in the interests of the Group and its Shareholders as a whole.

USE OF PROCEEDS AND FUND RAISING WITHIN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS

The gross and the net proceeds (net of any expenses to be borne by the Company) from the Subscription will be approximately HK$17,500,000 and approximately HK$17,150,000, respectively. The net proceeds will be used by the Company as general working capital of the Group and repayment of liabilities. The net Subscription Price will be approximately HK$0.245 per each Subscription Share.
