Dear Sir or Madam
PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the the announcement of the Company dated 3 February 2015 in which the Company announced that it proposed to implement the Capital Reorganisation involving the Share Consolidation, the Capital Reduction and the Share Subdivision. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the Capital Reorganisation and to give you notice of the SGM.
- for identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$100,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Existing Shares of HK$0.02 each, of which 2,486,503,070 Existing Shares were allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid.
On such basis, the Capital Reorganisation will involve the following steps:
(1) Proposed Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation will be effected pursuant to which every 10 issued and unissued Existing Shares of HK$0.02 each will be consolidated into 1 Consolidated Share of HK$0.20 each and where applicable, the total number of Consolidated Shares in the issued share capital of the Company immediately following the Share Consolidation will be rounded down to a whole number by cancelling any fraction in the issued share capital of the Company which may arise from the Share Consolidation.
(2) Proposed Capital Reduction and Share Subdivision
-
(a) the issued share capital of the Company will be reduced through a cancellation of the paid-up capital of the Company to the extent of HK$0.19 on each of the issued Consolidated Shares such that the nominal value of each issued Consolidated Share will be reduced from HK$0.20 to HK$0.01;
-
(b) immediately following the Capital Reduction, each of the authorised but unissued Consolidated Shares of HK$0.20 each will be sub-divided into 20 New Shares of HK$0.01 each; and
-
(c) the credits arising in the books of the Company from (i) the cancellation of any fraction in the issued share capital of the Company which may arise from the Share Consolidation; and (ii) the Capital Reduction of approximately HK$47,244,000 will be credited to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act.
Immediately following the Capital Reorganisation, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$100,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 New Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 248,650,307 New Shares will be in issue and the aggregate nominal value of the issued share capital of the Company will be HK$2,486,503.07, assuming that there are no other changes in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date until the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation.
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
A credit of approximately HK$47,244,000 will arise as a result of the Capital Reduction. Such credit, together with any credit which may arise as a result of the cancellation of any fraction in the issued share capital of the Company arising from the Share Consolidation, will be transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company within the meaning of the Companies Act which will then be applied by the Board to set off against the accumulated losses of the Company by the amount of such credits on the date of the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective. The total accumulated losses of the Company were approximately HK$81,244,000 as shown in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at 30 June 2014.
Shareholders and potential investors should note that the credits arising in the books from the Capital Reorganisation will be subject to change depending on the number of the Existing Shares in issue immediately prior to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective.
Assuming that there are no changes in the issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date until the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation, the share capital structure of the Company will be as follows:
| Immediately | Immediately | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| As at | after the Share | after the Capital | |
| the Latest | Consolidation | Reorganisation | |
| Practicable Date | becoming effective | becoming effective | |
| Amount of authorised | HK$100,000,000 | HK$100,000,000 | HK$100,000,000 |
| share capital | |||
| Par Value | HK$0.02 | HK$0.20 | HK$0.01 |

– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
All New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other.
Under the laws of Bermuda, the Directors may apply the contributed surplus in any manner permitted by the laws of Bermuda and the bye-laws of the Company
Fractional entitlement to New Shares
Fractions of the New Shares, if any, arising from the Capital Reorganisation will be aggregated and sold (if a premium, net of expenses, can be obtained) for the benefit of the Company.
Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation
The Capital Reorganisation is conditional on:
-
(1) the passing of the necessary special resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Capital Reorganisation at the SGM;
-
(2) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation and the New Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued (i) upon exercise of the share options granted and to be granted under the share option scheme of the Company, (ii) upon exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants;
-
(3) the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the laws of Bermuda and the Listing Rules to effect the Capital Reorganisation; and
-
(4) the obtaining of all necessary approvals from the regulatory authorities or otherwise as may be required in respect of the Capital Reorganisation.
Reasons for the Capital Reorganisation
The Board is of the opinion that the Capital Reorganisation will provide the Company with greater flexibility in possible fund raisings in the future. Further, the credits in the contributed surplus account within the meaning of the Companies Act arising from the Capital Reduction will enable the Company to set off its accumulated losses by the amount of such credits and may facilitate any future distribution to the Shareholders or be applied in any other manner permitted by the laws of Bermuda and the bye-laws of the Company.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board considers that the Capital Reorganisation is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Effects of the Capital Reorganisation
Implementation of the Capital Reorganisation will not, of itself, alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests of the Shareholders, except for the payment of the related expenses. The Board believes that the Capital Reorganisation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group and that on the date the Capital Reorganisation is to be effected, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Capital Reorganisation would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due. No capital will be lost as a result of the Capital Reorganisation and, except for the expenses involved in relation to the Capital Reorganisation which are expected to be insignificant in the context of the net asset value of the Company, the net asset value of the Company will remain unchanged before and after the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective. The Capital Reorganisation 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.
Listing and dealings
Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation and the New Shares which may fall to be allotted and issued (i) upon exercise of the share options granted and to be granted under the share option scheme of the Company; and (ii) upon the exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants.
No listing or permission to deal in respect of any part of the equity capital of the Company on any other stock exchange is being or is proposed to be sought.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, 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 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.
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The New 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 New Shares to be admitted into CCASS.
Free exchange of share certificates
Subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, Shareholders may, on or after Tuesday, 17 March 2015 until Monday, 27 April 2015 (both days inclusive), submit share certificates for the Existing Shares to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Abacus Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates of the New Shares (on the basis of 10 Existing Shares for 1 New Share). Thereafter, certificates of 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 the Existing Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the New Shares, whichever the number of certificates cancelled/issued is higher. After 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 27 April 2015, existing share certificates for the Existing Shares will only remain effective as documents of title and may be exchanged for certificates for New Shares at any time but will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes.
No change in board lot size
At present, the Existing Shares are traded in board lots of 5,000. Upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading of the New Shares will remain unchanged at 5,000.
ARRANGEMENT ON ODD LOT TRADING
In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation, the Company has appointed Lucky Securities Company Limited as an agent to provide matching service, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the New Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the New Shares.
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Mr. Kwok Ka Yiu of Lucky Securities Company Limited at 6th Floor, Fung House, 19-20 Connaught Road Central, Central, Hong Kong, or at telephone number (852) 3425 4241 during office hours. Shareholders should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the New Shares is not guaranteed. Please refer to the section headed “Expected Timetable” set out on pages 4 to 5 of this circular for the period during which the Company will provide matching service for the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares. Shareholders are recommended to consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt about the above facility.
ADJUSTMENTS IN RELATION TO OTHER SECURITIES OF THE COMPANY
As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were:
-
(1) Existing Share Options conferring the holders thereof the right to subscribe for up to 188,721,703 Existing Shares; and
-
(2) Warrants entitling the holders thereof the right to subscribe for up to 342,000,000 Existing Shares.
Adjustments to each of the Existing Share Options and the Warrants will have to be made as a result of the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective. In the event that the Capital Reorganisation has taken effect, adjustments to the exercise price and the number of shares underlying the Existing Share Options will have to be made in accordance with the rules of the relevant share option schemes of the Company and the supplementary guidance issued by the Stock Exchange on 5 September 2005 regarding the adjustment of share options under Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules. The adjustments to the exercise price and the number of the New Shares falling to be issued under the Existing Share Options will, upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, be as follows:
| Immediately before the Capital | Immediately before the Capital | Immediately after the Capital | Immediately after the Capital | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reorganisation | has taken effect | Reorganisation has taken effect | |||
| Number of | Number of | ||||
| Existing Shares | New Shares | ||||

| Validity period of the | Existing Share | Existing | New Share | Existing | |
| Date of grant | Existing Share Options | (HK$) | Share Options | (HK$) | Share Options |

| 21 July 2014 | 21 July 2014 to 20 July 2016 | 0.1738 | 171,604,000 | 1.738 | 17,160,400 |
– 12 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Warrants, in the event that the Capital Reorganisation has taken effect, the subscription price of the shares of the Company which may fall to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the Warrants would be adjusted from HK$0.25 per Existing Share to HK$2.50 per New Share. Based on the total outstanding principal amount of HK$85,500,000 of the Warrants as at the Latest Practicable Date, the maximum number of New Shares that fall to be issued by the Company upon the exercise of subscription rights attaching to the Warrants in full, at the adjusted exercise price stated above, will be 34,200,000 New Shares. The Company has appointed an independent financial adviser to certify in writing that the above adjustments are in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Warrants.
Save as disclosed above, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no other outstanding options, warrants or other securities in issue which were convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into, any Shares or New Shares, as the case may be.
SGM
The SGM will be held at 12:00 noon on Monday, 16 March 2015 at 18th Floor, Wyler Centre Phase II, 192-200 Tai Lin Pai Road, Kwai Chung, New Territories, Hong Kong, the notice of which is set out on pages SGM-1 to SGM-3 of this circular, for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Capital Reorganisation. In compliance with the Listing Rules, the resolution will be voted on by way of a poll at the SGM.
