To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OF SHARES PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the Announcement of the Company dated 2 December 2009. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information relating to (i) the proposed Share Subdivision; (ii) the proposed Increase in the Authorised Share Capital; (iii) the change in board lot size and (iv) the notice of EGM.
5
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED SHARE SUBDIVISION
The Board proposes that each of the existing issued and unissued shares of HK$1.00 each in the share capital of the Company be subdivided into 10 shares of HK$0.10 each. The Share Subdivision will become effective upon the fulfillment of the conditions set out below. The Shares are currently traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange in board lots of 1,000 Shares. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the Subdivided Shares will be traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange in board lots of 8,000 Subdivided Shares.
Reasons for Share Subdivision
The proposed Share Subdivision will decrease the nominal value and increase the total number of shares of the Company currently in issue. The Share Subdivision will bring about a corresponding downward adjustment to the trading price of the shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange and enhance their liquidity. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Share Subdivision is beneficial to the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
Other than the expenses, including professional fees and printing charges, to be incurred in relation to the Share Subdivision, the implementation thereof will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the shareholdings, rights and interests of the Shareholders.
Shareholding Structure
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$300,000,000, divided into 300,000,000 Shares, of which 225,000,000 Shares are in issue and fully paid. Immediately upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$300,000,000 divided into 3,000,000,000 Subdivided Shares, of which 2,250,000,000 Subdivided Shares will be in issue and fully paid assuming that no further Shares are issued prior to the Share Subdivision becoming effective.
The Subdivided Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue prior to the Share Subdivision and the rights attaching to the Subdivided Shares will not be affected by the Share Subdivision.
Conditions of the Share Subdivision
The Share Subdivision is conditional upon:
-
(a) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM; and
-
(b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in the Subdivided Shares.
6
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Listing and Dealing
An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in the Subdivided Shares arising from the Share Subdivision.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Subdivided 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 Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as may be 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 trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.
No part of the equity or debt securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchanges other than the Stock Exchange and no such listing permission to deal in is being or is currently proposed to be sought from any other stock exchange.
PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL
The Board proposes to increase in the authorised share capital of the Company after the completion of the Share Subdivision. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$300,000,000 comprising 300,000,000 shares of HK$1.00 each, out of which 225,000,000 Shares have been issued and are fully paid. After the completion of the Share Subdivision, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$300,000,000 comprising 3,000,000,000 shares of HK$0.10 each, of which 2,250,000,000 Subdivided Shares shall have been issued and fully paid. The Board proposes to increase the authorised share capital to HK$500,000,000 comprising 5,000,000,000 Subdivided Shares by the creation of an additional 2,000,000,000 Subdivided Shares.
Immediately after the completion of the Share Subdivision and the Increase in Authorised Share Capital and assuming no new Shares are issued or repurchased from the date hereof prior to the EGM, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$500,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Subdivided Shares of HK$0.10 each, with 2,250,000,000 issued Subdivided Shares and 2,750,000,000 unissued Subdivided Shares.
Reasons for Increase in Authorised Share Capital
The Board proposes the Increase in the Authorised Share Capital in order to accommodate future expansion and growth of the Group and to facilitate further fund raising activities. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention of issuing any part of the increase in share capital and has no intention to undergo any fund raising activities. The Board believes that the Increase in the Authorised Share Capital is for the benefit of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
7
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Condition of the Increase in Authorised Share Capital
The Increase in the Authorised Share Capital is conditional upon the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM.
CHANGE OF BOARD LOT SIZE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Shares are currently traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange in board lots of 1,000 Shares. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the Board proposes the Subdivided Shares will be traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange in board lots of 8,000 Subdivided Shares. The change of board lot size, together with the Share Subdivision, is effected to reduce the board lot value of the Shares. Based on the closing price of the Shares as at the date of the Announcement, the board lot value was HK$3,470. The change of board lot size to 8,000 Subdivided Shares, together with the Share Subdivision, will reduce the board lot value to HK$2,776 (calculated based on the closing price of the date of the Announcement and adjusted for the effect of Share Subdivision). The Directors consider that the change of the board lot size is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FREE EXCHANGE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES
Subject to fulfillment of the conditions set out above and the Share Subdivision taking effect, it is expected that as from Thursday, 11 February 2010 New Share Certificates will be issued in board lots of 8,000 Subdivided Shares. The Existing Share Certificates will only be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes for the period up to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 19 March 2010 and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. However, the Existing Share Certificates will continue to be good evidence of legal title to the Subdivided Shares on the basis of one (1) Share for ten (10) Subdivided Shares and may be exchanged free of charge for the New Share Certificates for Subdivided Shares at any time between 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from Thursday, 11 February 2010 to Tuesday, 23 March 2010 (both dates inclusive), and on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) for each New Share Certificate issued for the Subdivided Shares or each Existing Share Certificate submitted, whichever number of share certificate(s) involved is higher at any time after 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, 23 March 2010, at the Company’s share registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited at 26/F, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong. It is expected that New Share Certificates will be available for collection within a period of 10 Business Days after the submission of the Existing Share Certificates. The New Share Certificates will be issued in green colour in order to distinguish them from Existing Share Certificates which are in pink colour.
TRADING ARRANGEMENT FOR SUBDIVIDED SHARES
Subject to the Share Subdivision becoming effective, dealings in the Subdivided Shares are expected to commence on 11 February 2010. Parallel trading in the Subdivided Shares (in the form of Existing Share Certificates and New Share Certificates) will be operated from 1 March 2010 to 23 March 2010 (both dates inclusive). Full details of the expected timetable and trading arrangement of the Subdivided Shares are set out on pages 3 to 4 of this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
ARRANGEMENT FOR ODD LOTS
In order to alleviate the difficulties arising from the existence of odd lots resulting from the Share Subdivision and the change in board lot size, the Company will arrange for matching services regarding the sale and purchase of such odd lots from 11 February 2010 to 19 March 2010 (both days inclusive). Shareholders should note that matching of the sales and purchases of such odd lots is on a best-effort basis and successful matching is not guaranteed. The Company will bear the costs for the matching services. Holders of odd lots of Subdivided Shares who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Mr. Raymond Kwok (郭偉信) of Fortune (HK) Securities Limited at 13/F., Sunning Plaza, 10 Hysan Avenue, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong (Tel: 3189 2184) from 11 February 2010 to 19 March 2010 (both days inclusive).
EGM
Set out on pages 11 to 12 of this circular is the notice of the EGM to be held at Empire Room 2, Empire Hotel, 33 Hennessy Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong on 10 February 2010 at 11:00 a.m., at which ordinary resolutions will be proposed to approve the Share Subdivision and the Increase in the Authorised Share Capital.

Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the EGM if you so wish.
LISTING RULES REQUIREMENTS
According to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, any vote of shareholders at a general meeting must be taken by poll. Therefore, all the resolutions put to vote at the EGM will be taken by way of poll. As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders are required to abstain from voting on the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM. The Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.
RECOMMENDATION
The Board considers that the Share Subdivision and the Increase in the Authorised Share Capital are in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and therefore recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.
