To the Shareholders,

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION OF THE COMPANY; AND (2) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 26 November 2024 in relation to the Proposed Capital Reorganisation.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding, among other things, (i) the Proposed Capital Reorganisation; and (ii) the notice of the EGM.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The Board proposes to reorganise the share capital of the Company by conducting the Proposed Capital Reorganisation in the following manner:

(1) Capital Reduction

(i) the reduction of the par value of each of the issued Shares from HK$0.50 to HK$0.01 by cancelling the paid-up share capital to the extent of HK$0.49 per issued Share so that following such reduction, each issued Share shall become one Reduced Share with a par value of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company; and

(ii) the credit arising from step (i) will be applied towards offsetting the accumulated losses of the Company as at the effective date of the Proposed Capital Reorganisation in a manner as permitted by all applicable laws and the memorandum and articles of association of the Company and as the Board considers appropriate.

(2) Share Sub-division

Immediately following the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the sub-division of each of the authorised but unissued shares of the Company into fifty (50) Reduced Shares with a par value of HK$0.01 each.

Each of the Reduced Shares arising from the Proposed Capital Reorganisation shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other and will have rights and privileges and be subject to the restrictions contained in the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.

Effect on the Third Convertible Note

For the avoidance of doubt, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Third Convertible Note at the outstanding principal amount of US$400,390,000.00 (approximately HK$3,123,042,000.00) at conversion price of HK$480.00 per conversion share has not been converted, and the conversion price and the potential total number of conversion shares thereof will not be affected by the Proposed Capital Reorganisation.

Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding convertible bonds, options, derivatives, warrants, conversion rights or other similar rights entitling holders thereof to subscribe for or convert into or exchange into Shares or Reduced Shares, as the case may be.

Conditions of the Proposed Capital Reorganisation

The Proposed Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon, inter alia:

(a) the approval of the Shareholders by way of special resolution at the EGM;

(b) an order being made by the Cayman Court confirming the Capital Reduction;

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(c) registration by the Registrar of Companies of the Cayman Islands of a copy of the order of the Cayman Court confirming the Proposed Capital Reorganisation and the minute approved by the Cayman Court containing the particulars required under the Companies Act with respect to the Proposed Capital Reorganisation; and
(d) the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Reduced Shares arising from the Proposed Capital Reorganisation.

The Proposed Capital Reorganisation will become effective when the conditions mentioned above are fulfilled. Upon the approval by the Shareholders of the Proposed Capital Reorganisation at the EGM, the legal advisers to the Company (as to the Cayman Islands laws) will apply to the Cayman Court for hearing date(s) to confirm the Proposed Capital Reorganisation and a further announcement will be made by the Company as soon as practicable after the Cayman Court hearing date(s) is confirmed.

Effect of the Proposed Capital Reorganisation on capital structure of the Company

Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date on which the Proposed Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the share capital structure of the Company will be as follow:

As at the Latest Practicable Date Immediately after the Proposed Capital Reorganisation becoming effective
Par value HK$0.50 HK$0.01
Amount of authorised share capital HK$1,000,000,000.00 HK$1,000,000,000.00
Number of authorised Shares/Reduced Shares 2,000,000,000 Shares 100,000,000,000 Reduced Shares
Amount of issued share capital HK$72,508,531.00 HK$1,450,170.62
Number of issued Shares/Reduced Shares 145,017,062 Shares 145,017,062 Reduced Shares

Listing of and dealings in the Reduced Shares

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


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Reduced 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. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Reduced Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Reduced 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 Reduced 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.

None of the share capital or debt securities of the Company is 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.

Exchange of share certificates for the Reduced Shares

As the Cayman Court hearing date(s) has yet to be fixed, the effective date of the Proposed Capital Reorganisation is not ascertainable as at the Latest Practicable Date. Should the Proposed Capital Reorganisation become effective, the Shareholders may submit existing certificates for the Shares to the Share Registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited, at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong for exchange, at the expense of the Company, within one month from the effective date of the Proposed Capital Reorganisation, for certificates for the Reduced Shares.

Details of such free exchange of share certificates will be announced as soon as the effective date of the Proposed Capital Reorganisation is ascertained. All existing certificates of the Shares will continue to be evidence of title to such Shares or Reduced Shares (as the case may be) and be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes.

The new share certificates for Reduced Shares will be issued in green colour in order to distinguish them from the existing share certificates in pink colour.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The Company is of the view that the high par value of the Shares restricts the Company from conducting further equity fundraising to address its financial issues.

As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2024, the Group (i) had net liabilities and net current liabilities of approximately HK$1,750.80 million and HK$3,705.06 million, respectively, as at 31 March 2024; and (ii) recorded a net cash outflow of approximately HK$9.19 million for the financial year ended 31 March 2024. In view of the financial positions as at 31 March 2024, the Board is of the view that the (i) high levels of net liabilities and net current liabilities and (ii) tight cash flow have been adversely affecting the fundraising ability of the Group.

  • 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board has noted the following fundraising activities to address the current financial position of the Group, including but not limited to (i) equity fund raising by placing of new Shares to independent third parties; (ii) borrowings from banks and independent third parties; (iii) issue of a new convertible note to replace existing Third Convertible Note; and (iv) pre-emptive offering of new Shares to Existing Shareholders by rights issue or open offer. However, none of these fundraising activities is suitable because of the high par value of the Shares.

As such, the Proposed Capital Reorganisation will provide the Directors with greater flexibility to declare dividends and/or to undertake any corporate exercise which requires the use of distributable reserves in the future or issue new shares in the future, subject to the Company's financial performance and when the Board considers that it is appropriate to do so in the future.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company intended to issue convertible notes in the aggregate principal amount of US$400,390,000 under specific mandate subject to the Proposed Capital Reorganisation becoming effective and other conditions therein as disclosed in the announcement dated 2 December 2024. Save for the abovementioned, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention of carrying out other corporate actions or fundraising activities in the next 12 months, which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Proposed Capital Reorganisation.

However, the Board cannot rule out the possibility that the Company will conduct debt and/or equity fundraising exercises when suitable fundraising opportunities arise in order to support the future development of the Group. The Company will make further announcements in this regard in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The Shares are currently traded in board lot of 4,000 Shares and the market value per board lot of the Shares was HK$1,280 (based on the closing price of HK$0.32 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date). In order to increase the value of each board lot so that the value of each board lot will be not less than the expected board lot value of HK$2,000 set out in the Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated in September 2024 and save the transaction and registration costs incurred by the Shareholders and potential investors, the Board proposes to change the board lot size for trading of the Reduced Shares from 4,000 Reduced Shares to 8,000 Reduced Shares with effect from the effective date of the Proposed Capital Reorganisation.

Upon the Proposed Change in Board Lot Size becoming effective, the Reduced Shares will be traded in board lot of 8,000 Reduced Shares and the estimated market value of the Reduced Shares per board lot will be HK$2,560 (based on the closing price of HK$0.32 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date). The Proposed Change in Board Lot Size will not affect any of the relative rights of the Shareholders.

Due to the low board lot value of the Shares, the transaction and registration costs incurred by the Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are considered to be relatively high, which has been negatively affecting the trading volume and price of the Shares. Upon the completion of the Proposed

  • 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Change in Board Lot Size, the trading value for each board lot will substantially increase. Such increase in the trading value for each board lot will effectively lower the transaction and registration costs to be incurred by the Shareholders and potential investors of the Company when trading the Shares.

In order to alleviate difficulties in relation to the existence of odd lots of the Shares arising from the Proposed Change in Board Lot Size, the Company will appoint a licensed securities dealer as an agent to provide matching services on a best effort basis to the Shareholders regarding the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Reduced Shares following the Proposed Change in Board Lot Size becomes effective.

WARNING

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the Proposed Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon, among others, the fulfilment of the conditions set out in the section headed “Conditions of the Proposed Capital Reorganisation” in this circular). Accordingly, the Proposed Capital Reorganisation may or may not proceed.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares. Any party 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).

EGM

The notice of the EGM is set out on pages 13 to 15 of this circular. As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the extent that the Directors are aware and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting on the resolution to approve, among other things, the Proposed Capital Reorganisation of the Company at the EGM.

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular. Whether or not you intend to attend and vote in the EGM, you are requested to complete the form of proxy enclosed in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s Share Registrar at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong as soon as practicable but in any event before 10:00 a.m. on 28 December 2024 (Saturday), which is no less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from subsequently attending and voting at the EGM or any adjourned meeting thereof should you so wish. An announcement will be made by the Company after the EGM of the results of the EGM.

CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS

For determining the entitlement of the Shareholders of the Company to attend and vote at the EGM, the register of members of the Company will be closed from Tuesday, 24 December 2024 to Monday, 30 December 2024 (both days inclusive) during which period no transfer of shares will be registered.
