To the Shareholders

Dear Sir/Madam,

PROPOSED SUBDIVISION OF SHARES, CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

On 24 February 2014, the Company announced that the Board proposed to subdivide each of the existing issued and unissued Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company into five (5) Subdivided Shares of par value of HK$0.002 each.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the relevant information, amongst other things, regarding the Share Subdivision, the change in board lot size and to give you a notice of the EGM at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Share Subdivision.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED SHARE SUBDIVISION

The Board proposed that each of the existing issued and unissued Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company be subdivided into five (5) Subdivided Shares of par value of HK$0.002 each.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$2,000,000,000 divided into 200,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 232,842,241 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$2,000,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000,000 Subdivided Shares of HK$0.002 each, of which 1,164,211,205 Subdivided Shares will be in issue and fully paid or credited as fully paid, assuming that no further Shares are allotted, issued or repurchased prior to the Share Subdivision becoming effective. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding options, warrants, conversion rights or other similar rights giving rights to subscribe for any Shares.

CONDITIONS OF THE SHARE SUBDIVISION

The Share Subdivision is conditional upon the following:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Share Subdivision; and

  • (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares in issue.

Assuming all the conditions are fulfilled, the Share Subdivision will become effective on the first Business Day following the passing of the ordinary resolution as specified therein, which is expected to be 4 June 2014.

CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in board lot of 5,000 Shares. The Board proposes that immediately upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the board lot size will be changed from 5,000 Shares to 25,000 Subdivided Shares. Upon the Share Subdivision and the change in board lot size becoming effective, the Subdivided Shares will rank pari passu with each other in all respects. The Share Subdivision and the change in board lot size are not expected to result in any odd lots other than those already exist.

REASONS FOR THE SHARE SUBDIVISION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The Shares are currently traded in board lots of 5,000 Shares and the market value per board lot of the Shares was HK$15,000 (based on the closing price of HK$3 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date). Upon the proposed Share Subdivision and the change in board lot size becoming effective, the Subdivided Shares will

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

be traded in board lots of 25,000 Subdivided Shares and the estimated market value per board lot of the Shares will be HK$15,000 (based on the closing price of HK$3 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date).

The volume weighted average price of the Company for the three months period ended 30 April 2014 is approximately HK$3.2689, which is relatively higher than the volume weighted average price of a majority of other investment companies listed on the Stock Exchange under Chapter 21 of the Listing Rules (“Chapter 21 companies”) in the same three months period. The proposed Share Subdivision will bring the Share price more in line with the current price level of shares traded in a majority of other Chapter 21 companies.

Upon the proposed Share Subdivision becoming effective, the par value of each Share will decrease and the total number of Shares in issue will increase. As the Share Subdivision will result in a downward adjustment to the trading price of the Shares, the Board proposes to also change the board lot size to increase the value of each board lot of the shares of the Company to the same level as it was before the Share Subdivision, which will reduce certain costs incurred by the Shareholders and potential investors of the Company including (i) stock withdrawal fee; (ii) corporate actions service fee; and (iii) registration and transfer fee for registering eligible securities in the name of HKSCC Nominees Limited.

Save for the expenses to be incurred by the Company in relation to the Share Subdivision, the implementation of the Share Subdivision will not, by itself, alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or the financial position of the Company or the proportionate interest of the Shareholders. The change in board lot size will not affect any of the relevant rights of the Shareholders. The Board considers that the Share Subdivision and the change in board lot size is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING AND DEALINGS

An application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in the Subdivided Shares arising from the Share Subdivision.

The Subdivided 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. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares on 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 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 or listing or permission to deal is being or proposed to be sought on other stock exchanges other than the Stock Exchange.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

EXCHANGE OF SHARE CERTIFICATES

Subject to the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the Shareholders can submit their existing share certificates for the Shares to the Company’s share registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, in exchange for the new share certificates for the Subdivided Shares free of charge between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on any Business Day from Wednesday, 4 June 2014 to Friday, 11 July 2014 (both days inclusive). After the expiry of such period, existing share certificates for the 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 existing share certificate cancelled or each new share certificate issued (whichever number of share certificates involved is higher). It is expected that the new share certificates for the Subdivided Shares will be available for collection within a period of ten (10) Business Days after submission of the existing share certificates for the Shares to Tricor Tengis Limited for exchange. The new share certificates will be issued in beige colour in order to distinguish them from the existing share certificates which are in orange colour.

The existing share certificates for the Shares will only be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes for the period up to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 9 July 2014 and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. However, the existing share certificates for the Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for share certificates for Subdivided Shares on the basis of one (1) Share for five (5) Subdivided Shares.

EXPECTED TIMETABLE

The expected timetable for the proposed Share Subdivision and the change in board lot size is set out on pages 3 to 4 of this circular.

EGM

A notice convening the EGM is set out on pages 21 to 22 of this circular.

No Shareholders are required to abstain from voting at the EGM on the resolution in relation to the Share Subdivision.

Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules and Article 100 of the Articles, all votes at the EGM will be taken by poll and the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner set out in Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

RECOMMENDATION

Yours faithfully, By order of the Board Unity Investments Holdings Limited 合一投資控股有限公司 KITCHELL Osman Bin Executive Director

ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES

APPENDIX

This appendix serves as an additional disclosure requirement pursuant to Rule 21.09 of the Listing Rules in connection with the listing document of investment companies.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The Company is an investment company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with the primary objective of achieving medium-term to long-term capital appreciation by investing in listed and unlisted companies in Hong Kong, PRC and other main markets around the world.

The Company has adopted the following investment policies:

  1. Investments will normally be made in the form of equity related securities and debt instruments in listed and unlisted companies engaged in different industries including (but not limited to) the manufacturing, services, property, telecommunications, technology and infrastructure sectors to maintain a balance in the Company’s exposure to different industry sectors in order to minimise the impact on the Company of any downturn in any particular sector.

  2. Investments will normally be made in enterprises which are established in their respective fields and in which the Board believes that there are prospects of long-term growth. In particular, the Company will seek to identify businesses with a potential of profit growth, strong management, high level of technical expertise and research and development capabilities as well as management commitment to the long-term growth. However, the Company will also consider investments in companies or other entities which are considered by the Board and the Investment Manager to be in special or recovery situations.

  3. Where possible, the Board and the Investment Manager would seek to identify investments where there is a certain degree of synergy with other investee companies and where cooperation between such companies would be of mutual benefit to each other.

  4. The Company’s investments are intended to identify medium-term or long-term capital appreciation and there is no present intention to realise any of such investments in any specific period or by any specific date. Nevertheless, the Board will from time to time realise investments where they believe that to do so would be in the best interests of the Company or where the terms on which such realisation can be achieved are believed by the Board to be particularly favourable to the Company.

There are no requirements under the Listing Rules and/or the Articles that any alterations to the investment objectives and policies of the Company require Shareholders’ approval except that Chapter 21 of the Listing Rules require, inter alia, that the investment objectives and policies will not be changed for at least 3 years following the issue of the listing document without the consent of shareholders of the investment company in general meeting. Therefore, the investment objectives and policies of the Company as stated above may be altered without Shareholders’ approval. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board has no present intention to change the stated investment objectives and policies above.

ADDITIONAL DISCLOSURES

APPENDIX

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

Under the Articles and the Listing Rules relating to the listing of investment companies, certain restrictions on investments are imposed on the Company. In part to meet such restriction, the Board has resolved that the Company may not:

  1. either on its own or in conjunction with any connected person, make legal, or effective, management control of any company or other entity in which it invests or owns or controls more than 30% (or such lower percentage as may from time to time be specified in The Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers as being the level for triggering a mandatory general offer) of the voting rights in such company or entity, except in relation to wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

  2. invest in any company or entity other than wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company if such investment will result in more than 20% of the Net Asset Value being invested in such company or entity as at the date the investment is made.

  3. buy or sell commodities, commodity contracts or precious metals, except that it may purchase and sell futures contracts on stock indices and securities which are secured by commodities or precious metal.

  4. invest more than 20% of the Company’s assets outside Hong Kong and the PRC to the extent of contravening its primary objective of achieving medium-term or long-term capital appreciation by investing in listed and unlisted companies in Hong Kong and the PRC.

The Company has to comply with investment restrictions 1 and 2 above, in accordance with its Articles, and at all times while it remains listed as an investment company under Chapter 21 of the Listing Rules.

The investment restrictions set out in items 3 and 4 above can only be changed subject to the approval of Shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution. The Board has no present intention to change any of the abovementioned investment restrictions.

As the Latest Practicable Date, the Company’s investment portfolio does not consist of investments in options, warrants, commodities, futures contracts and precious metals. Whilst the Company has no present intention to invest in options, warrants, commodities, futures contracts, unlisted securities and precious metals, it may do so in the future should suitable opportunities or market condition arise.

DISTRIBUTION POLICY

It is the Board’s intention to distribute any excess balance by way of dividend to the extent permitted by law, the Memorandum and the Articles. Dividends will only be paid to the extent that they are covered by net income received from underlying investments. Distribution will be made annually after the annual accounts of the Company are approved by the Shareholders but interim distribution may be made from time to time to Shareholders as appear to the Board to be justified by the position of the Company. Distributions will be made in Hong Kong dollars.
