PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION, PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND NOTICE OF THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 16 March 2020 in relation to the proposed Share Consolidation and proposed Change in Board Lot Size.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information regarding, among other things, (i) the proposed Share Consolidation; (ii) the proposed Change in Board Lot Size; and (iii) the notice of the EGM.
* For identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every ten (10) issued and unissued Existing Shares of a par value of HK$0.20 each in the share capital of the Company will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of a par value of HK$2.00 each. The Share Consolidation will become effective upon fulfillment of the conditions set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions of the Share Consolidation” below.
Effects of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Existing Shares of a par value of HK$0.20 each, of which 1,450,170,627 Existing Shares have been issued and are fully-paid or credited as fully-paid. Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the EGM, immediately after the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 500,000,000 Consolidated Shares of a par value of HK$2.00 each, of which 145,017,062 Consolidated Shares (which are fully-paid or credited as fully-paid) will be in issue.
Other than the relevant expenses to be incurred, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company and the interests and rights of the Shareholders, save that any fractional Consolidated Shares will not be allocated to Shareholders who may otherwise be entitled. The Board believes that the Share Consolidation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.
Status of the Consolidated Shares
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Articles of Association and the Share Consolidation will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares
Fractions of Consolidated Shares that arise from the Share Consolidation will not be allocated to the Shareholders otherwise entitled thereto, and will instead be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company.
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions, among other things:
- (i) the passing of the necessary ordinary resolution(s) by the Shareholders by way of poll to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM;
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
-
(ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares to be in issue upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and
-
(iii) compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the applicable 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 Friday, 24 April 2020, being the second Business Day after the EGM.
Listing and dealings
Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation and the Consolidated Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the share options to be granted under the Existing Share Option Scheme and upon the exercise of the conversion rights under the Third Convertible Note.
Subject to granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, 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.
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 is listed or dealt on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Share Consolidation becomes effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Exchange of share certificates
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, Shareholders may, during the period from Friday, 24 April 2020 to Wednesday, 3 June 2020 (both dates inclusive), submit their share certificates for Existing Shares in green colour to the Registrar at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong at the expense of the Company, in exchange for new share certificates in blue colour for the Consolidated Shares (on the basis of ten (10) 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 Existing Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares, whichever is higher of the number of certificates cancelled or issued. After 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, 3 June 2020, existing share certificates in green colour for Existing Shares will only remain effective as documents of 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.
Odd lot arrangements and matching services
In order to alleviate the difficulties arising from the existence of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares as a result of the Share Consolidation, the Company will appoint Core Pacific-Yamaichi International (H.K.) Limited, as an agent to provide a matching services, on a best efforts basis regarding the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares from the period from 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 12 May 2020 to 4:10 p.m. on Monday, 1 June 2020 (both days inclusive). The Shareholders who wish to use this matching service during this period should contact Mr. Choi Chi Ming of Core PacificYamaichi International (H.K.) Limited at 11/F, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong or at telephone number (852) 2166 3811 during office hours.
Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders who are in any doubt about the odd lots arrangement should consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
Reason for the Share Consolidation
Pursuant to Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of the issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the Stock Exchange reserves the right to require the issuer either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of securities. In view of the recent trading price of the Existing Shares, the Board on its initiative proposes to effect the Share Consolidation in order to comply with the trading requirements of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In addition, the Share Consolidation is to prepare for subsequent potential capital fund raising and the Company may have plans or intentions of future corporate actions including but not limited to fund raising by general mandate and/or specific mandate which may further change the trading arrangement of the Company in the next 12 months. Given the high gearing position of the Group, coupled with the unaudited net liabilities of the Group amounting to approximately HK$1,836.2 million as at 30 September 2019, the Group has a pressing need of capital fund raising, which will help improve the adverse financial position of the Group without further deteriorating the gearing of the Group.
PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
Currently, the Existing Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in the board lot size of 10,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Board proposes to change the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange, from 10,000 Existing Shares to 4,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot.
Based on the closing price of HK$0.052 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.52 per Consolidated Share) as at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the value of each existing board lot of the Existing Shares is HK$520; (ii) the value of each board lot of 10,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$5,200, assuming the Share Consolidation becomes effective; and (iii) the estimated value per board lot of 4,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$2,080 assuming that the change in board lot size also becomes effective. The Board considers that the proposed change in board lot size from 10,000 Existing Shares to 4,000 Consolidated Shares will reduce the value per board lot of the Consolidated Shares and could therefore enhance the trading liquidity of the Consolidated Shares.
The Change in Board Lot Size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
Expected timetable
The expected timetable for the Share Consolidation and Change in Board Lot Size is set out below. The expected timetable is subject to the results of the EGM and is therefore for indicative purpose only. Any change to the expected timetable will be announced in a separate announcement by the Company as and when appropriate. All times and dates in this circular refer to Hong Kong local times and dates:

The holders of the Third Convertible Note may be entitled to convert to an aggregate of 65,063,375 Conversion Shares upon exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Third Convertible Note at an initial conversion price of HK$48.00 per Conversion Share (subject to adjustment(s)).
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, adjustments may need to be made to the conversion price and other rights (if any) pursuant to the terms of the Third Convertible Note if necessary. The Company will make further announcement(s) about the adjustment(s) in due course, if and when appropriate.
