15

Preference Shareholder who have been served a Compulsory Conversion Notice shall have failed to deliver any items listed in this Article 3A(5A) (C), then the relevant Convertible Preference Share(s) subject to the Compulsory Conversion Notice(s) shall be converted into Ordinary Shares on the 7th Business Day from the date of the Compulsory Conversion Notice(s) but until such time as the relevant Convertible Preference Shareholder shall have delivered all items listed in this Article 3A(5A) (C), the Company shall not be obliged to act in accordance with Article 3A(5)(F) in relation to the relevant Convertible Preference Share(s) and the relevant Conversion Share(s) shall not confer upon the holder(s) thereof the right to receive notice of, or to attend or vote at any general meeting of the Company which is held, or to receive any dividend the Record Date for which falls, prior to such time.

  • (D) Subject to Article 3A(5A)(C), Articles 3A(5)(C), (D), (E) and (G) shall apply mutatis mutandis at and following a Compulsory Conversion Date with references to “Conversion Date” be replaced by “Compulsory Conversion Date”.

  • (E) For the avoidance of doubt, whereupon a Compulsory Conversion Notice is given by the Company to the Convertible Preference Shareholder, the right of the relevant Convertible Preference Shareholder to Dividend shall cease to accrue from the date of the Compulsory Conversion Notice in respect of the Convertible Preference Share(s) being the subject of the Compulsory Conversion Notice. Any Dividend accrued and payable to the relevant Convertible Preference Shareholder in respect of the Convertible Preference Share(s) being the subject of the Compulsory Conversion Notice before the date of the Compulsory Conversion Notice in any given year ending on 31 December shall be payable to the relevant Convertible Preference Shareholder on 15 April of the following year (or the Business Day immediately before 15 April if such date is not a Business Day) out of the funds of the Company available for distribution and resolved to be distributed. The relevant Conversion Share(s) shall be credited as fully paid and rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares then in issue save that they shall not entitle the holders to any dividend or other distribution declared, paid or made upon the Ordinary Shares prior to the relevant Entry Date of such Conversion Share(s).

16

(6) CONVERSION SHARES

The Conversion Shares shall, save as provided for in these provisions, rank pari passu in all respects with the Ordinary Shares in issue on the Entry Date, and shall, subject to the proviso of this Article 3A(6), entitle the holders thereof to all distributions paid or made on the Ordinary Shares by reference to a Record Date falling after the Entry Date, provided that if a Record Date after the Entry Date is in respect of any distribution in respect of any financial period of the Company ended prior to such Entry Date, the holders of the Conversion Shares will not be entitled to such distribution.

(7) ADJUSTMENTS TO THE CONVERSION PRICE

  • (A) Subject as hereinafter provided, the Conversion Price shall, from time to time, be adjusted in accordance with the following relevant provisions; and so that if the event giving rise to any such adjustment shall be such as would be capable of falling within more than one of sub-paragraphs (i) to (vii) inclusive of this Article 3A(7)(A), it shall fall within the first of the applicable paragraphs to the exclusion of the remaining paragraphs:

  • (i) If and whenever the Ordinary Shares by reason of any consolidation, subdivision or reclassification become of a different nominal amount, the Conversion Price in force immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the following fraction:

A B

where:

  • A = the nominal amount of one Ordinary Share immediately after such alternation; and

  • B = the nominal amount of one Ordinary Share immediately before such alternation.

Each such adjustment shall be effective from the commencement of business in Hong Kong on the business day immediately following the date on which such consolidation or sub-division or reclassification becomes effective.

17

  • (ii) If and whenever the Company shall issue any Ordinary Shares credited as fully paid by way of capitalization of profits or reserves (including any share premium account or capital redemption reserve fund), the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such issue (or, if such issue takes place before the issuance of the Convertible Preference Shares, the initial Conversion Price) shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the following fraction:

==> picture [66 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

where:

  • C = the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Ordinary Shares immediately before such issue; and

  • D = the aggregate nominal amount of the Ordinary Shares issued in such capitalization

Each such adjustment shall be effective (if appropriate retroactively) from the commencement of the Business Day next following the record date for such issue.

  • (iii) If and whenever the Company shall make any Capital Distribution (as defined in Article 3A(7)(B)) (except where, and to the extent that, the Conversion Price is required to be adjusted under Article 3A(7)(A) (ii) above) to holders (in their capacity as such) of Ordinary Shares (whether on a reduction of capital or otherwise) or shall grant to such holders rights to acquire for cash assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such distribution or grant (or, if such distribution or grant takes place before the issuance of the Convertible Preference Shares, the initial Conversion Price) shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the following fraction:

==> picture [28 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

E

18

where:

  • E = the Closing Price of one Ordinary Share on the last Dealing Day preceding the date on which the Capital Distribution or, as the case may be, the grant is first publicly announced or (failing any such announcement) the last Dealing Day preceding the date of the Capital Distribution, or as the case may be, of the grant; and

  • F = the fair market value on the day of such announcement, or (as the case may require) the last preceding business day, as determined in good faith by an approved investment bank, of the portion of the Capital Distribution of such rights which is attributable to one Ordinary Share;

Provided that if in the opinion of the relevant approved investment bank, the use of the fair market value as aforesaid produces a result which is significantly inequitable, it may instead determine that, and in such event the above formula shall be construed as if, F meant the portion of the said Closing Price which should properly be attributed to the value of the Capital Distribution or rights.

Each such adjustment shall be effective (if appropriate retroactively) from the commencement of the Business Day immediately following the record date for the Capital Distribution or grant.

  • (iv) If and whenever the Company shall offer to holders (in their capacity as such) of Ordinary Shares as a class of new Ordinary Shares for subscription by way of rights, or shall grant to holders of Ordinary Shares as a class any options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any Ordinary Shares by way of rights at a price which is less than 92 per cent. of the Closing Price on the last Dealing Day preceding the date of the first announcement of the terms of the offer or grant (such price for the purpose of this Article 3A(7) (A)(iv) being the “Applicable Price”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before the date of the first announcement of such offer (or, if such announcement is published before the issuance of the Convertible Preference Shares, the initial Conversion Price) by the following fraction:

==> picture [28 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [32 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

19

where:

  • G = the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before the date of such announcement;

  • H = the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares offered to be issued or, as the case may be, comprised in the grant; and

  • I = the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate amount (if any) payable for the Ordinary Shares issued by way of rights or for the rights, options or warrants or other rights issued and for the total number of Ordinary Shares comprised therein would purchase at such Closing Price.

Such adjustment shall become effective (if appropriate retroactively) from the commencement of the next Business Day following the record date for the offer.

  • (v) (a) If and whenever the Company (or any of its subsidiaries) shall issue wholly for cash any securities which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for or carry rights of subscription for new Ordinary Shares, and the Total Effective Consideration per Ordinary Share initially receivable for such securities (as defined below in this Article 3A(7)(A)(v)) is less than 92 per cent. of the Closing Price on the last Dealing Day preceding the date of the first announcement of the terms of issue of such securities (such price for the purpose of this Article 3A(7)(A)(v)(a) being the “ Applicable Price ”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the issue (or, if such issue takes place before the issuance of the Convertible Preference Shares, the initial Conversion Price) by the following fraction:

==> picture [66 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

where:

  • J = the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before the date of the issue;

  • K = the number of Ordinary Shares which the Total Effective Consideration receivable for the securities issued (as defined below in this Article 3A(7)(A)(v)) would purchase at the Applicable Price; and

20

  • L = the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued upon conversion or exchange of, or the exercise in full of the subscription rights conferred by, such securities, at the initial conversion or exchange rate or subscription price.

Such adjustment shall become effective (if appropriate retrospectively) from the commencement of business in Hong Kong on the next Business Day following whichever is the earlier of the date on which the issue is announced and the date on which the Company determines the conversion or exchange rate or subscription price.

  • (b) If and whenever the rights of conversion or exchange or subscription attached to any such securities as mentioned in Article 3A(7)(A)(v)(a) are modified so that the conversion or exchange rate or subscription price in respect of such securities is in effect immediately following such modification (for the purpose of this Article 3A(7)(A)(v)(b), the “ Modified Price ”) shall be more favourable to the holders of such securities or less than the conversion or exchange rate or subscription price in effect immediately preceding such modification (for the purpose of this Article 3A(7)(A)(v)(b), the “ Pre-Modification Price ”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such modification by the following fraction:

==> picture [66 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

where:

  • M = the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before the date of such modification;

  • N = the number of Ordinary Shares which the Total Effective Consideration receivable for the securities issued (as defined in this Article 3A(7)(A)(v)) would purchase at the Pre-Modification Price; and

  • O = the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued upon full conversion or exchange of or the exercise in full of the subscription rights conferred by such securities at the Modified Price.

21

Such adjustment shall take effect as at the date upon which such modification takes effect. For the avoidance of doubt, a right of conversion or subscription or exchange shall also be treated as modified for the foregoing purposes where the relevant conversion or exchange rate or subscription price is adjusted to take account of rights or capitalization issues and other events normally giving rise to adjustment of conversion or exchange terms save to the extent the adjustments are no more favourable to the holders of the relevant securities than to the Convertible Preference Shareholder(s) under this Article 3A(7)(A)(v).

For the purposes of this Article 3A(7)(A)(v), the “ Total Effective Consideration receivable for the securities issued ” shall be deemed to be the consideration receivable by the Company for the issue of such securities plus the additional minimum consideration (if any) to be received by the Company upon (and assuming) the full conversion or exchange thereof or the exercise in full of such subscription rights, and for the purposes of Article 3A(7)(A)(v)(a), the “ Total Effective Consideration per Ordinary Share initially receivable for such securities ” shall be such Total Effective Consideration receivable for the securities issued divided by the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued upon (and assuming) such full conversion or exchange at the initial conversion or exchange rate or the exercise in full of such subscription rights at the initial subscription price, in each case without any deduction for any commissions, discounts or expenses paid, allowed or incurred in connection with the issue.

  • (vi) If and whenever the Company shall issue wholly for cash any Ordinary Shares at a price per Ordinary Share which is less than 92 per cent. of the Closing Price on the last Dealing Day preceding the date of the first announcement of the proposed issue (such price for the purpose of this Article 3A(7)(A)(vi) being the “ Applicable Price ”), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before the date of such announcement (or, if such an announcement is released before the issuance of the Convertible Preference Shares, the initial Conversion Price) by the following fraction:

==> picture [66 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

22

where:

  • R = the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before the date of such announcement;

  • S = the number of Ordinary Shares which the aggregate amount payable for the issue would purchase at the Applicable Price; and

  • T = the number of such Ordinary Shares issued.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of such issue.

(vii) If and whenever the Company shall issue Ordinary Shares for the acquisition of assets and the aggregate consideration credited by the Company as being paid for such Ordinary Shares on the acquisition of the relevant asset without deduction of any commissions, discounts or expenses paid, allowed or incurred in connection with the issue of such Ordinary Shares (the “ Total Effective Consideration ”) divided by the number of Ordinary Shares issued for such acquisition (the “ Total Effective Consideration per Ordinary Share ”) is less than 92 per cent. of the Closing Price as at the last Dealing Day preceding the date of the announcement of the terms of such issue (such price for the purpose of this Article 3A(7)(A)(vii) being the “ Applicable Price ”), the Conversion Price shall, subject to the proviso set out below in Article 3A(7)(A)(viii), be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before the date of such announcement (or, if such announcement is published before the issuance of the Convertible Preference Shares, the initial Conversion Price) by the following fraction:

==> picture [66 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

where:

  • U = the number of Ordinary Shares in issue immediately before the date of such announcement;

  • V = the number of Ordinary Shares which the Total Effective Consideration would purchase at the Applicable Price; and

  • W = the number of such Ordinary Shares issued,

23

and such adjustment shall become effective on the date of the issue, PROVIDED however that if such acquisition of the relevant asset is a connected transaction for the purposes of the rules of the Relevant Stock Exchange, then the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by such ratio as may be determined by an approved investment bank unless:

  • (a) the transaction is required by the rules of the Relevant Stock Exchange to be the subject of an opinion of an independent financial adviser;

  • (b) the independent financial adviser to be appointed for this purpose has been consented to, in writing, by the Convertible Preference Shareholder(s);

  • (c) the independent financial adviser to be appointed for this purpose gives an opinion that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable, so far as the Shareholders are concerned, and are in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole; and

  • (d) the Total Effective Consideration per Ordinary Share is not less than the Applicable Price.

Provided that if in any case where the conditions referred to in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) above are fulfilled but not the condition in paragraph (d) above, then the Conversion Price shall instead be adjusted by multiplying the fraction set out earlier in this Article 3A(7)(A)(vii).

  • (viii) If the Company determines that an adjustment should be made to the Conversion Price as a result of one or more events or circumstances (whether or not referred to in Articles 3A(7)(A)(i) to (vii) above) (even if the relevant event or circumstance is specifically excluded in these Terms from the operation of Articles 3A(7)(A)(i) to (vii) above), or that an adjustment should not be made (even if the relevant event or circumstance is specifically provided for in Articles 3A(7) (A)(i) to (vii) above), or that the effective date for the relevant adjustment should be a date other than that mentioned in Articles 3A(7)(A)(i) to (vii) above, the Company may, at its own expense, request the approved investment bank, acting as expert, to determine as soon as practicable (a) what adjustment (if any) to the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable to take account thereof and is appropriate to give the result, which an approved investment bank considers in good faith, to reflect the intentions of the provisions of this Article

24

3A(7)(A); and (b) the date on which such adjustment should take effect; and upon such determination, such adjustment, (if any) shall be made and shall take effect in accordance with such determination.

(B) For the purposes of this Article 3A(7):

issue ” shall include allot;

reserves ” includes unappropriated profits; and

rights ” includes rights in whatsoever form issued.

  • (C) The provisions of sub-paragraphs (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) of Article 3A(7)(A) shall not apply to:

  • (a) as issue of fully paid Ordinary Shares upon the exercise of any conversion rights attached to securities convertible into Ordinary Shares or upon exercise of any rights (including any conversion of the Convertible Preference Shares) to acquire Ordinary Shares (except a rights issue) provided that an adjustment (if required) has been made under Article 3A(7) in respect of the issue of such securities or granting of such rights or options (as the case may be); or

  • (b) the granting of options from time to time which carry rights to acquire, or the issue upon exercise of such options of, Ordinary Shares to eligible participants pursuant to any share option scheme of the Company.

25

  • (D) On any adjustment, the resultant Conversion Price, if not an integral multiple of one-tenth (1/10) of a Hong Kong cent, shall be rounded down to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) of a Hong Kong cent.

  • (E) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, no adjustment shall be made to the Conversion Price in any case in which the amount by which the same would be reduced in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this paragraph would be less than one-tenth (1/10) of a Hong Kong cent and any adjustment that would otherwise be required then to be made and any amount by which the Conversion Price has not been rounded down as referred to in Article 3A(7)(D) above shall not be carried forward in determining any subsequent adjustment.

  • (F) If the Company or any subsidiary shall, in any way modify the rights attached to any share or loan capital, so as to wholly or partly convert or make convertible such share or loan capital into, or attach thereto any rights to acquire Ordinary Shares, the Company shall appoint an approved investment bank to consider whether any adjustment to the Conversion Price is appropriate (and if such approved investment bank (as defined in Article 3A(7)(B) shall certify that any such adjustment is appropriate, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted accordingly and the provisions of Article 3A(7)(D), Article 3A(7)(E), Article 3A(7)(G) to Article 3A(7)(I) shall apply).

  • (G) Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall, as soon as possible, but not later than two (2) Business Days after the relevant adjustment has been determined, give notice of the same to the Convertible Preference Shareholder(s) (setting forth the event giving rise to the adjustment, the Conversion Price in effect prior to such adjustment, the adjusted Conversion Price and the effective date thereof). For the avoidance of doubt, nothing here should oblige the Company to disclose any information which is not public information to the Convertible Preference Shareholder(s) or where it is not legally permissible to disclose such information.

  • (H) Any adjustment to the Conversion Price shall not in any event result in an increase in the Conversion Price (except upon any consolidation of the Ordinary Shares pursuant to Article 3A(7)(A)(i)) or that the Conversion Price being adjusted to an amount which is less than the nominal value of the Conversion Shares and in such event, the Conversion Price shall be the nominal value of the Conversion Shares.

26

28

(10) MEETINGS

  • (A) The Convertible Preference Shares shall not confer on the holders thereof the right to receive notice of, or to attend and vote at, a general meeting of the Company, unless a resolution is to be proposed at a general meeting of the Company for winding up the Company or a resolution is to be proposed which if passed would (subject to any consents required for such purpose being obtained) vary or abrogate the rights or privileges of the Convertible Preference Shareholders, in which event the Convertible Preference Shares shall confer on the holder thereof the right to receive notice of, and to attend and vote at, that general meeting, save that such holders may not vote upon any business dealt with at such general meeting except the election of a chairman, any motion for adjournment or relating to the proceedings of the general meeting and the resolution for winding up or the resolution which if passed would (subject to any consents required for such purpose being obtained) so vary or abrogate the rights and privileges of the Convertible Preference Shareholders.

(12) FRACTIONS

No fraction of an Ordinary Share arising on conversion shall be allotted to the holder of the Relevant Convertible Preference Share(s) otherwise entitled thereto but such fractions will, when practicable, be aggregated and sold and the net proceeds of sale will then be distributed pro rata among such holders unless in respect of any holding of Relevant Convertible Preference Shares the amount to be so distributed would be less than HK$100, in which case such amount will not be so distributed but will be retained for the benefit of the Company. Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and a Converting Shareholder, if more than one Convertible Preference Share shall fall to be converted pursuant to any one Conversion Notice or Compulsory Conversion Notice (as the case may be), the number of Ordinary Shares to be issued upon conversion shall be calculated on the basis of the aggregate Reference Amounts of the Relevant Convertible Preference Shares.

In that event, subject to the Company having sufficient profits available for distribution, the Company shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received by the Convertible Preference Shareholders after such withholding or deduction shall equal the respective amounts of the Reference Amount, premium (if any) and Dividend which would have been receivable in respect of the Convertible Preference Shares in the absence of such withholding or deduction, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable with respect to any Convertible Preference Shareholder:

  • (A) who is liable to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of any Convertible Preference Share by reason of such holder having some connection with the Cayman Islands or Hong Kong, as the case may be, other than by virtue of being a Convertible Preference Shareholder; or

No Convertible Preference Shares may be allotted and issued to any individual or entity who shall as a result become, and no Conversion Rights may be exercised by any Convertible Preference Shareholder who is, a Restricted Holder (as hereinafter defined).

Mutilated or defaced Certificates must be surrendered before replacements will be issued.

(16) NOTICES

32

  • (C) Subject to the requirements under the Listing Rules and/or requirements imposed by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (if any) and/or the Articles, the Convertible Preference Shares are not transferable unless with prior written approval from the Company.

(18) PRESCRIPTION

The Company shall retain such distributions or other property or rights but shall not at any time be a trustee in respect of any such distributions or other property or rights nor accountable for any income or other benefits derived therefrom.’

  • (c) Article 6

By deleting the existing Article 6 of the Articles of Association in its entirety and replacing therewith the following new Article 6:
