Issuer
The Company
Placing Agent and the Placees
Get Nice Securities Limited is the placing agent, who has conditionally agreed to place (i) in aggregate 100,000,000 new Shares on a fully underwritten basis pursuant to the Fully Underwritten Placing Agreement; and (ii) up to an aggregate of 200,000,000 new Shares on a best effort basis pursuant to the Best Effort Placing Agreement.
The Placing Agent and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) are not connected persons of the Company and are independent from and not connected with the Company and/or its connected persons.
The Placing Agent will place the Fully Underwritten Placing Shares and the Best Effort Placing Shares to not less than six Placees in each case. The Placees should be professional investors (as defined in the Securities and Futures (Professional Investor) Rules), and who and (where a corporation) whose ultimate beneficial owner(s) will not be connected persons of the Company and will be independent of and not connected with the Company and/or its connected persons and not acting in concert with others with respect to the Company. The Company and the Placing Agent expect that none of the Placees will become a controlling or substantial Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) immediately after completion of the Fully Underwritten Placing and/or the Best Effort Placing.
In circumstances where the Fully Underwritten Placing were to become unconditional and the Placing Agent was obliged to take up the Fully Underwritten Placing Shares in their entirety, the underwriting commitment would extend to a stake of approximately 41.00% in the share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Fully Underwritten Placing Shares. The Placing Agent has sub-underwritten its underwriting obligations under the Fully Underwritten Placing Agreement to sub-underwriters such that each of the Placing Agent and the sub-underwriters (together with their

Each of the Placing Agent and the sub-underwriters (and their respective ultimate beneficial owners) is not a party acting in concert with each other with respect to the Company. In addition, the Placing Agent confirms that the sub-underwriters and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are not connected persons of the Company and are independent of and not connected with the Company and/or its connected persons.
Placing commission
The Placing Agent will receive a placing commission of 2.5% on the gross proceeds of the Fully Underwritten Placing and the Best Effort Placing upon their respective completion. The placing commission was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent with reference to the market rate.

The Company and the Placing Agent hereby agree that the Placing Agent may during the Placing Period require that the Best Effort Placing Shares be issued by the Company to placees procured by the Placing Agent in tranches (each a “Tranche”) in such amounts as notified by the Placing Agent in writing to the Company provided that the Best Effort Placing Shares comprised in each Tranche shall not be less than a whole multiple of 1,000,000 Placing Shares save for the last Tranche.
The 100,000,000 Fully Underwritten Placing Shares represent approximately (i) 69.50% of the Company’s existing issued share capital; (ii) 41.00% of the Company’s issued share capital as enlarged by the Fully Underwritten Placing Shares only; and (iii) 22.53% of the Company’s issued share capital as enlarged by the Fully Underwritten Placing Shares and the Best Effort Placing Shares.

The maximum aggregate nominal value of the Placing Shares is HK$30,000,000.
Placing Price

SUBSCRIPTION SIZE

REASONS FOR THE PLACINGS AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Company is principally engaged in investments in listed securities in Hong Kong and other main stock market around the world and also in unlisted companies.
The aggregate gross proceeds from the Fully Underwritten Placing and the Best Effort Placing will be approximately HK$38 million and up to a maximum amount of approximately HK$76 million respectively. The Company plans to use the entire net proceeds of approximately HK$36.72 million from the Fully Underwritten Placing and of up to the aggregate amount of approximately HK$73.76 million from the Best Effort Placing for the general working capital of the Group and for future investments purposes, mainly investments in non-bluechip listed securities in Hong Kong and overseas, pursuant to the investment objectives of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not identified any specific investment opportunities.
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Company carried out two fund raising exercises in February 2009 and June 2009 respectively to raise aggregate net proceeds of approximately HK$71.5 million and most of which were utilised for investment in securities pursuant to the Company’s investment objectives. The Directors are of the view that the global financial markets has become stable as compared with the first half year of 2009 and they remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of the economy and stock markets in Hong Kong and overseas. The Directors believe that as the global economy improves, more investments opportunities will be identified in the near future. If the Group does not have sufficient cash resources on hand or it cannot find alternative financing in a timely manner, the Group may not be able to commit to suitable investment opportunities as and when they arise.
The Directors are of the view that the Placings will enlarge the shareholder base and the capital base of the Company, and will strengthen the Group’s financial position. The Directors consider that the Placings offer good opportunities to raise further capital which can enhance the Group’s flexibility to make further investments as and when opportunities arise. Accordingly, they consider that the terms of the Placings are fair and reasonable and the Placings are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FUND RAISING EXERCISES DURING THE PAST 12 MONTHS
The Company had conducted the following fund raising exercises in the past 12 months from the Latest Practicable Date.
