CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders
Dear Sirs,
PROPOSED SHARE SUBDIVISION AND
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the Announcement that the Company proposed to seek Shareholders’ approval at the EGM to approve the Share Subdivision and the proposed amendments to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company.
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with (i) information regarding the Share Subdivision and the proposed amendments to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company; and (ii) notice of the EGM.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. PROPOSED SHARE SUBDIVISION
The Board proposes to put forward to the Shareholders a proposal to effect the proposed Share Subdivision whereby every one (1) existing issued and unissued Share of par value of HK$0.05 each in the share capital of the Company will be subdivided into two (2) Subdivided Shares of par value of HK$0.025 each.
(a) Conditions of the Share Subdivision
The Share Subdivision is conditional upon:
-
(i) the passing of the ordinary resolution to approve the Share Subdivision by the Shareholders at the EGM; and
-
(ii) the Stock Exchange granting approval to the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares.
Assuming all the conditions are fulfilled, the Share Subdivision will become effective on the Business Day following the passing of the ordinary resolution at the EGM, which is expected to be held on Wednesday, 3 June 2015.
(b) Effect of the Share Subdivision
As at the Latest Practical Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$100,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Shares of par value of HK$0.05 each, of which 400,000,000 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the EGM, immediately after the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$100,000,000 divided into 4,000,000,000 Subdivided Shares of par value of HK$0.025 each, of which 800,000,000 Subdivided Shares of par value of HK$0.025 each will be in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid.
Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, all Subdivided Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue prior to the Share Subdivision and the Share Subdivision will not be expected to result in any change in the relevant rights of the Shareholders.
The Shares are currently traded in the board lots of 8,000 Shares. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the board lot size for trading on GEM will remain unchanged with 8,000 Subdivided Shares for each board lot. The Share Subdivision will not be expected to result in any odd lots other than those already exist.
(c) Free exchange of Subdivided Shares’ certificates and trading arrangement
Subject to the Share Subdivision becoming effective, which is expected to be on Thursday, 4 June 2015, Shareholders may, during the period from Thursday, 4 June 2015 to Monday, 13 July 2015 (both days inclusive) between 9: 00 a.m. and 4: 30 p.m.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
on any Business Day, submit share certificates for the existing Shares in orange colour to the Share Registrar at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new certificates of the Subdivided Shares in yellow colour. After the expiry of such period, each share certificate for the existing Shares will be accepted for exchange only 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 share certificate for the existing Shares submitted for cancellation, whichever the number of certificates issued or cancelled is higher.
The existing share certificates will only be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes for the period up to 4: 00 p.m. on Thursday, 9 July 2015 and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. However, the existing share certificates will continue to be good evidence of title to the Subdivided Shares on the basis of one Share for two Subdivided Shares.
It is expected that the new share certificates will be available for collection within a period of ten Business Days after the submission of the existing share certificates. The new share certificates will be yellow in colour so as to be distinguished from the existing share certificates which are orange in colour.
(d) Listing Application
An application has been made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares to be in issue upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Subdivided Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.
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 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.
No part of the enquiry or debt securities of the Company is listed or dealt in an any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange and no such listing or permission to deal in is being currently purposed to be sought from any other stock exchange.
3. REASONS FOR THE SHARE SUBDIVISION
The trading price of the Shares has recently increased and resulted in the increase in the value of a board lot. On the initial listing of the Shares on 8 January 2015, the placing price per Share was HK$0.385 and each board lot value was HK$3,080. As at the Latest
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Practicable Date, the closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange is HK$1.36 and each board lot value is HK$10,880 which is approximately 253% increase compared to each board lot value on initial listing. The high board lot value sets a high entry fee for the investors and compromises the liquidity of the trading of the Shares.
Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the par value of each share of the Company will decrease and the total number of shares of the Company in issue will increase. The Share Subdivision will result in a downward adjustment to the trading price of the shares of the Company. The Board believes that the Share Subdivision will improve the liquidity in trading of the Company’s Subdivided Shares, and thereby attract more investors and widen its Shareholder base. It will also provide more flexibility for the investors to buy and sell Shares. In view of the above, the Board considers that the Share Subdivision is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
Other than the relevant expenses, including but not limited to professional fees and printing charges incurred, the implementation of the Share Subdivision will have no effect on the consolidated net asset value of the Group, nor will it alter the underlying assets, business, operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests of the Shareholders. The Directors believe that the Share Subdivision will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.
4. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION
The Board proposes to put forward to the Shareholders to amend the memorandum and articles of association of the Company to reflect the change to the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$100,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 Shares of par value of HK$0.05 each to HK$100,000,000 divided into 4,000,000,000 of par value of HK$0.025 each upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective. The proposed amendments to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company are subject to approval by Shareholders at the EGM by way of special resolution. Details of the proposed amendments to the memorandum and articles of association of the Company are as follows:
(a) Clause 7 of the memorandum of association
Existing Clause 7:
- ‘‘7. The authorised share capital of the Company is HK$100,000,000.00 consisting of 2,000,000,000 shares of HK$0.05 each with the power for the Company to increase or reduce the said capital and to issue any part of its capital, original or increased, with or without any preference, priority or special privilege or subject to any postponement of rights or to any conditions or restrictions; and so that, unless the condition of issue shall otherwise expressly declare, every issue of shares, whether declared to be preference or otherwise, shall be subject to the power hereinbefore contained.’’

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

- ‘‘7. The authorised share capital of the Company is HK$100,000,000.00 consisting of 4,000,000,000 shares of HK$0.025 each with the power for the Company to increase or reduce the said capital and to issue any part of its capital, original or increased, with or without any preference, priority or special privilege or subject to any postponement of rights or to any conditions or restrictions; and so that, unless the condition of issue shall otherwise expressly declare, every issue of shares, whether declared to be preference or otherwise, shall be subject to the power hereinbefore contained.’’
(b) Article 6 of the articles of association
Existing Article 6:
- ‘‘6. The authorised share capital of the Company on the date of the adoption of these Articles is HK$100,000,000.00 divided into 2,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.05 each.’’
By deleting the existing Article 6 of the article of association in its entirety and inserting in place thereof the following new Article 6:
- ‘‘6. The authorised share capital of the Company on the date of the adoption of these Articles is HK$100,000,000.00 divided into 4,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.025 each.’’
Subject to the approval of the proposed amendments to the memorandum and articles of association by the Shareholders, the Company intends to adopt the second amended and restated memorandum and articles of association (incorporating the proposed amendments to the memorandum and articles of association (the ‘‘Second Amended M&A’’) in substitution for the existing memorandum and articles of association of the Company. The adoption of the Second Amended M&A are subject to approval by Shareholders at the EGM by way of special resolution.
The legal advisers to the Company as to Hong Kong laws and the laws of the Cayman Islands have respectively confirmed that the Second Amended M&A comply with the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules and are not inconsistent with the Companies Laws (as revised) of the Cayman Islands. The Company also confirms that there is nothing unusual in the Second Amended M&A of the Company for a company listed in Hong Kong.
