PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANIZATION

INTRODUCTION

On 12 July 2013, the Company announced the proposed Capital Reorganization. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with (i) further information relating to the Capital Reorganization; and (ii) the notice of SGM to be convened and held for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the relevant resolution(s) to implement the proposal for the Capital Reorganization.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANIZATION

Under the Capital Reorganization, the Board proposed to reorganize the share capital of the Company in the following manner:

1. The Share Consolidation, which involves the consolidation of every four (4) issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.08 each in the share capital of the Company into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.32 each;

2. Immediately upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Capital Reduction, which involves (i) the reduction of the issued share capital of the Company by cancelling the paid-up capital of the Company to the extent of HK$0.319 on each of the then issued Consolidated Shares such that the par value of each issued Consolidated Share will be reduced from HK$0.32 to HK$0.001 (‘‘Issued Share Capital Reduction’’); and (ii) the reduction of the authorized share capital of the Company by reducing the par value of all Consolidated Shares from HK$0.32 each to HK$0.001 each, resulting in the reduction of the authorized share capital of the Company from HK$400,000,000 divided into 1,250,000,000 Consolidated Shares to HK$1,250,000 divided into 1,250,000,000 New Shares; and

3. Immediately upon the Capital Reduction becoming effective, the Increase in Authorized Share Capital, which involves the increase of authorized share capital from HK$1,250,000 (divided into 1,250,000,000 New Shares) to HK$400,000,000 (divided into 400,000,000,000 New Shares) by the creation of 398,750,000,000 New Shares.

The credit of approximately HK$177.50 million arising from the Issued Share Capital Reduction will be credited to the contributed surplus account of the Company.

Under Bermuda law, the amount standing to the credit of the contributed surplus account is distributable subject to satisfaction of certain solvency requirements and the Company may apply the contributed surplus in any manner not prohibited by the Companies Act and the Byelaws.

The Board also proposed to put forward to the Shareholders a proposal to approve, as a part of the Capital Reorganization, the Authorization, which authorizes the Directors to apply the entire amount standing to the credit of the contributed surplus account of the Company in such manner as they consider appropriate subject to compliance with the Companies Act, including but not limited to setting off against the accumulated losses of the Company from time to time.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has an authorized share capital of HK$400,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Shares, of which 2,225,682,121 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assuming there will be no change in the share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date on which the Capital Reorganization becomes effective, the share capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

	As at the Latest	Immediately after the
	Practicable Date	Capital Reorganization
Amount of authorized share capital	HK$400,000,000	HK$400,000,000
Par value	HK$0.08 per Share	HK$0.001
		per New Share
Number of authorized shares	5,000,000,000 Shares	400,000,000,000
		New Shares
Amount of issued share capital	HK$178,054,569.68	HK$556,420.53
Number of issued shares	2,225,682,121 Shares	556,420,530
		New Shares

Based on the information available as at the Latest Practicable Date, up to 556,420,530 whole New Shares will be in issue after the Capital Reorganization becomes effective.

The resulting New Shares of par value of HK$0.001 each will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Company’s Bye-laws.

Conditions of the Capital Reorganization

The Capital Reorganization will be completed upon fulfilling all the following conditions:

• (a) the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM approving the Capital Reorganization;

• (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting approval to the listing of and permission to deal in, the New Shares in issue arising from the Capital Reorganization;

• (c) the compliance with the requirements of section 46(2) of the Companies Act, including (i) publication of a notice in relation to the Capital Reduction in an appointed newspaper in Bermuda on a date not more than thirty days and not less than fifteen days before the date on which the Capital Reduction is to take effect; and (ii) that on the date on which the Capital Reduction is to be effected, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Capital Reduction would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; and

• (d) the obtaining of all necessary approvals from the regulatory authorities or otherwise as may be required in respect of the Capital Reorganization.

Assuming the above conditions are fulfilled, it is expected that the Capital Reorganization will become effective on the next Business Day following the date of passing of the relevant resolution approving the Capital Reorganization at the SGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons for the Capital Reorganization and impact on the Company and the Shareholders

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 proceed with a consolidation or splitting of securities. Recently, the price of the Shares has approached the extremity of HK$0.01. The Board is of the opinion that the Capital Reorganization (i) would bring about a corresponding increase in the trading price of the New Shares; (ii) is in compliance with Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules; and (iii) would give the Company greater flexibility in pricing the future issue of shares. Accordingly, the Board considers that the Capital Reorganization is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Implementation of the Capital Reorganization will not, of itself, alter the underlying assets, liabilities, business, operations, management, financial position or the share capital of the Company or the proportionate interests of the Shareholders, except for the payment of the related expenses. The Board believes that the Capital Reorganization will not have any adverse effect on the financial position of the Company and the Board believes that on the effective date of the Capital Reorganization, there will be no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Capital Reorganization would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due. No capital of the Company will be lost as a result of the Capital Reorganization and, except for the expenses involved in relation to the Capital Reorganization, which are expected to be insignificant to the net asset value of the Company, the net asset value of the Company will remain unchanged immediately before and after the Capital Reorganization becoming effective. The Capital Reorganization does not involve any diminution of any liability in respect of any unpaid capital of the Company or the repayment to the Shareholders of any paid up capital of the Company nor will it result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

Application for listing of New Shares

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares and all necessary arrangements will be made for the New Shares to be admitted into the CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.

No part of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in or on which listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought on any other stock exchange.

The New Shares will be identical 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 New Shares on the Stock Exchange, the New 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 New 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 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.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Arrangement on odd lot trading and Fractional Consolidated Shares

Fractional Consolidated Shares will be disregarded and not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise if the entire shareholding of a Shareholder is not in integral multiple of four (4) regardless of the number of share certificates held by such Shareholder.

In order to alleviate the difficulties in the trading of odd lots of the Shares or the New Shares (if any) arising from the Capital Reorganization, the Company has appointed One China Securities Limited as the agent to provide matching service, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to top-up or sell their odd lots of the Shares or the New Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Shares or the New Shares during the period from Thursday, 29 August 2013 to Wednesday, 18 September 2013 (both days inclusive).

Holders of the Shares or the New Shares in odd lots who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the Shares or the New Shares or to top-up their odd lots to a full new board lot may directly or through their broker contact Mr. Marco Ko of One China Securities Limited at 2/F, Cheong K. Building, 86 Des Voeux Road C., Central, Hong Kong (telephone number: (852) 3106-3522) during the aforesaid period. Holders of the Shares or the New Shares in odd lots should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Shares or the New Shares is on a best effort basis and successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Shares or the New Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders are recommended to consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt about the above facility.

Exchange of share certificates

Subject to the Capital Reorganization becoming effective, the Shareholders may, from Thursday, 15 August 2013 to Monday, 23 September 2013 (both days inclusive) submit their existing share certificates (in pink colour) for Shares to the Registrar to exchange, at the expenses of the Company, for new share certificates (in light yellow colour) (on the basis of four (4) Shares for one (1) New Share). Thereafter, existing share certificates will remain effective as documents of legal title but will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.5 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange) per certificate issued or cancelled, whichever is higher, payable by the Shareholders to the Registrar.

The new share certificates will be issued in light yellow colour in order to distinguish them from the existing share certificates which are in pink colour.

Warning

Shareholders and potential investors should also be aware of and take note that the Capital Reorganization is conditional upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in the paragraph headed ‘‘Conditions of the Capital Reorganization’’ of this circular. Therefore, the Capital Reorganization may or may not proceed.
