INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcement. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) details of the proposed Increase in Authorised Share Capital; (ii) details of the proposed Share Consolidation; (iii) further information regarding the Rights Issue, the Placing Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (iv) a letter of

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Rights Issue; (v) a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Rights Issue; (vi) other information required under the Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code; and (vii) the notice of the EGM.

(I) PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL

The existing authorised share capital of the Company is HK$20,000,000 divided into 2,000,000,000 shares of par value HK$0.01 each. As at the Latest Practicable Date, 1,160,640,000 Shares are in issue and 839,360,000 Shares are authorised but unissued.

In order to accommodate the growth of the Group and to provide the Company with greater flexibility to raise funds in the future, the Board proposes to increase the authorised share capital of the Company to HK$100,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Shares by creating an additional 8,000,000,000 Shares. Such new Shares, upon issue, shall rank pari passu in all respects with the existing Shares. The Board believes the Increase in Authorised Share Capital is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Increase in Authorised Share Capital is subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution at the EGM. An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the EGM for the Shareholders to consider, and if appropriate, approve the Increase in Authorised Share Capital.

(II) PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Board proposes to put forward a proposal to the Shareholders to effect the Share Consolidation on the basis that every twenty (20) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of HK$0.20 each.

Fractional Consolidated Shares will be disregarded and not issued to the Shareholders, but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company.

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Increase in Authorised Share Capital at the EGM to be convened by the Company and the Increase in Authorised Share Capital becoming effective;

  • (ii) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM to be convened by the Company;

– 14 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iii) the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under the laws of the Cayman Islands (where applicable) and the Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation; and

  • (iv) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue or to be issued from the Share Consolidation.

Subject to the satisfaction of all the above conditions, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will become effective on Tuesday, 7 May 2024, i.e. being the second Business Day immediately following the date of passing the relevant ordinary resolution approving the Share Consolidation at the EGM.

Effects of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$20,000,000.00 divided into 2,000,000,000 Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 1,160,640,000 Existing Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Increase in Authorised Share Capital and Share Consolidation becoming effective but before the completion of the Rights Issue and assuming no change in the number of Shares in issue from the Latest Practicable Date to the effective date of the Share Consolidation, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$100,000,000.00 divided into 500,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.20 each, of which, 58,032,000 Consolidated Shares (which are fully paid or credited as fully paid) will be in issue.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other.

Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders, save that any fractional Consolidated Shares will not be allocated to Shareholders who may otherwise be entitled and the necessary professional expenses for the implementation of the Share Consolidation.

Application for listing of the Consolidated Shares

An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

Subject to the granting of listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Consolidated Shares will

– 15 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated 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. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.

None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

Board lot size

The existing board lot size of 2,500 Existing Shares will remain unchanged upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective. The value of the current board lot, based on the closing price of HK$0.036 per Existing Share as at the Latest Practicable Date, was HK$90. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the expected value of each board lot of 2,500 Consolidated Shares, based solely on the closing price of HK$0.036 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.72 per Consolidated Share) as at the Latest Practicable Date, is expected to be HK$1,800.

Arrangement on odd lots trading and matching services

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed Space Securities Limited to provide a matching service, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares. Holders of the Consolidated Shares in odd lots represented by valid share certificates for the Consolidated Shares who wish to take advantage of this facility either to dispose of their odd lots of the Consolidated Shares or to top up their odd lots to a full new board lot, may directly or through their brokers, contact Mr. Cho Pak Keung of Space Securities Limited at (852) 2510 0603 during the period from 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 22 May 2024 to 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 12 June 2024 (both days inclusive).

Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder, who is in any doubt about the odd lots trading arrangement, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders or potential investors should note that (i) odd lots will be created after the Share Consolidation; (ii) odd lots arrangements do not guarantee successful matching of all odd lots at the relevant market price; and (iii) odd lots might be sold below the market price in the market.

Exchange of share certificates

Subject to the Share Consolidation having become effective, Shareholders may during the specified period submit share certificates for Existing Shares to the Registrar, Boardroom Share Registrars (HK) Limited, at 2103B, 21/F, 148 Electric Road, North Point, Hong Kong for exchange for share certificates in red colour for the Consolidated Shares at the expense of the Company.

Thereafter, certificates for the Existing Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may be allowed by the Stock Exchange from time to time) by the Shareholders for each share certificate for the Existing Shares cancelled or each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares, whichever the number of share certificates cancelled/issued is higher.

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, after 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, 7 May 2024, trading will only be in Consolidated Shares which share certificates will be issued in red colour. Existing share certificates in blue colour for the Existing Shares will cease to be valid for trading and settlement purpose, but will remain valid and effective as documents of title.

Reasons for and benefits of the Share Consolidation

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 to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities. Further, according to the “Guide on trading arrangements for selected types of corporate actions” issued by the Stock Exchange on 28 November 2008 and last updated on 1 October 2020 (the “ Guide ”), it has stated that the market price of the shares at a level less than HK$0.10 each will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules. It has also stated in the Guide that taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000.

For the past six months, the share price of the Company has been trading at or below HK$0.10, and the closing price of the Existing Shares on the Latest Practicable Date was HK$0.036. The existing board lot value has been less than HK$2,000. The Directors consider that the proposed Share Consolidation will increase the share price of the Company, over HK$0.1, and the board lot value, over HK$2,000, of the Existing Shares and would bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the expected value per board lot. As such, it would enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under

– 17 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the Listing Rules. Further, the Share Consolidation would reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the shares of the Company as a proportion of the market value of each board lot, since most of the banks/securities houses will charge a minimum transaction cost for each securities trade. It is believed that the adjusted share price as a result of the Share Consolidation would maintain the trading amount for each board lot at a reasonable level and will enhance the corporate image of the Company so as to make investing in the Shares more attractive to a broader range of institutional and professional investors and thus help to further broaden the shareholder base of the Company. The Directors also believe that the Share Consolidation will provide greater opportunity for and more flexibility in the Company’s possible equity fund-raising in the future.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate actions in the next 12 months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Consolidation, and the Company does not have any concrete plan to conduct any fund-raising activities, save for the Rights Issue as set out in this circular, in the next 12 months. However, the Board cannot rule out the possibility that the Company will conduct debt and/or equity fund-raising exercises when suitable fund-raising opportunities arise in order to support future development of the Group. The Company will make further announcement in this regard in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

The Board believes that the Share Consolidation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group nor result in a change in the relative rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated shares to which Shareholders may otherwise be entitled.

In view of the above reasons, the Board considers that the Share Consolidation is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Warning

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should be aware of and take note that the Share Consolidation is conditional upon satisfaction of the conditions set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions and expected effective date of the Share Consolidation” in this circular. Accordingly, the Share Consolidation may or may not proceed.

(III) PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE

The Board proposes to raise gross proceeds of up to approximately HK$157,847,040 (before expenses) by issuing up to 232,128,000 Consolidated Shares (assuming no further issue or repurchase of Shares on or before the Record Date) by way of rights issue at the Subscription Price of HK$0.034 per Rights Share (or HK$0.68 per Consolidated Share after the Share Consolidation becoming effective) on the basis of four (4) Rights Share for every one (1) Consolidated Shares held on the Record Date. Details of the Rights Issue are set out below:

Rights Issue statistics

Basis of the Rights Issue : Four (4) Rights Share for every one (1) Consolidated Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date Subscription Price : HK$0.68 per Consolidated Share after the Share Consolidation becoming effective Number of Existing : 1,160,640,000 Existing Shares Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date Number of Consolidated : 58,032,000 Consolidated Shares (assuming no further Shares in issue issue or repurchase of Shares up to the effective date of immediately upon the the Share Consolidation) Share Consolidation becoming effective Number of Rights Shares : Up to 232,128,000 Consolidated Shares (assuming no to be issued pursuant further issue or repurchase of Shares on or before the to the Rights Issue Record Date) Number of Consolidated : Up to 290,160,000 Consolidated Shares (assuming no Shares in issue upon further issue or repurchase of Shares on or before the completion of the Record Date other than the Rights Shares) Rights Issue Gross proceeds to be : Up to approximately HK$157,847,040 (before raised before expenses expenses)

– 19 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assuming that there will not be any further issue of new Shares or repurchase of Shares on or before the Record Date, the 232,128,000 Consolidated Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of the proposed Rights Issue represents approximately 400% of the total number of issued Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and approximately 80% of the total number of issued Consolidated Shares as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares (assuming all the Rights Shares will be taken up).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board has not received any information from any Shareholders of their intention to take up the Rights Shares to be provisionally allotted to them under the Rights Issue.

Non-underwritten basis

The Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptances of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. In the event that the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, the Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders will be placed to independent Placees under the Compensatory Arrangements. The Placing Shares which remain not placed under the Compensatory Arrangements will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly. There is no minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue. There is also no statutory requirement regarding minimum subscription level in respect of the Rights Issue.

As the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis, Shareholders who apply to take up all or part of their entitlements under the PALs may unwittingly incur an obligation to make a general offer for the Shares under the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be made on terms that the Company will provide for the Shareholders to apply on the basis that if the Rights Shares are not fully taken up, the application of any Shareholder (except for HKSCC Nominees Limited) for his/her/its assured entitlement under the Rights Issue will be scaled down to a level which (i) does not trigger an obligation on part of the relevant Shareholder to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code in accordance to the note to Rule 7.19(5)(b) of the Listing Rules; and/or (ii) does not result in the non-compliance of the Public Float Requirement on the part of the Company.

The Subscription Price

The Subscription Price of HK$0.034 per Rights Share (or HK$0.68 per Consolidated Share after the Share Consolidation becoming effective) is payable in full by a Qualifying Shareholder upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue, or where a transferee of the Nil-paid Rights applies for the Rights Shares.

– 20 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 19.05% to the closing price of HK$0.84 per Consolidated Share (after taking into account the effect of the Share Consolidation) based on the closing price of HK$0.042 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 18.27% to the adjusted average closing price of approximately HK$0.832 per Consolidated Share (after taking into account the effect of the Share Consolidation) based on the average closing price of HK$0.0416 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 18.85% to the adjusted average closing price of approximately HK$0.838 per Consolidated Share (after taking into account the effect of the Share Consolidation) based on the average closing price of HK$0.0419 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten (10) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 4.49% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.0712 per Consolidated Share (after taking into account the effect of the Share Consolidation), based on the closing price of HK$0.042 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (v) a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of a discount of approximately 15.24%, represented by the theoretical diluted price of approximately HK$0.712 per Consolidated Share (after taking into account the effect of the Share Consolidation) to the theoretical benchmarked price of HK$0.84 per Consolidated Share (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules, taking into account the higher of the closing price of HK$0.042 per Existing Share on the Last Trading Day and the average closing price of the Existing Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the Last Trading Day of HK$0.0416 per Existing Share and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation);

  • (vi) a discount of approximately 93.34% to the net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.511 (based on the latest audited consolidated net asset value of the Group of approximately MOP575.353 million (equivalent to approximately HK$592.613 million) as at 31 December 2023 as disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 and 1,160,640,000 Shares); and

  • (vii) a discount of approximately 5.56% to the closing price of HK$0.036 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

– 21 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Subscription Price was set at a discount to the recent closing prices of the Shares aiming at lowering the further investment cost of the Shareholders so as to encourage them to take up their entitlements to maintain their shareholdings in the Company, thereby minimising dilution impact. The Subscription Price was determined with reference to, among others, (i) the market price of the Existing Shares under the prevailing market conditions; (ii) the financial position of the Group; and (iii) the reasons as discussed in the section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Rights Issue and use of proceeds” in this circular. The Board is of the view that (i) the Subscription Price representing a discount to the consolidated net asset value per Share as at 31 December 2023 is fair and reasonable in light of the current weak market sentiment and the anticipated market response to the Rights Issue by the Directors in order to attract Shareholders and investors to participate in the Rights Issue; (ii) the closing prices of the Shares shown an overall downward trend for the past 11 months; (iii) it makes commercial sense to set the Subscription Price at a discount to the prevailing market price in order to attract Shareholders and investors to participate in the Rights Issue, especially under the current market downturn; and (iv) the terms of the Rights Issue (including the Subscription Price) are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Whilst the Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 93.34 % to the net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.511 (based on the latest audited consolidated net asset value of the Group of approximately MOP575.353 million (equivalent to approximately HK$592.613 million) as at 31 December 2023 as disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 and 1,160,640,000 Shares), the Board is of the view that the net asset value per Shares is not the sole relevant factor to determine the Subscription Price due to the fact that the Shares traded below the net asset value per Shares continuously over the past 8 months. Apart from the low Share price, the low trading volume of the Shares during the 8-month period prior to the Rights Issue with average daily trading volume amounted to approximately 2.32% of the total issued Shares. Under the current market condition and with reference to the recent market performance of the Shares, it would not be practical nor commercially feasible to set a Subscription Price which is significantly higher than the prevailing market price, which would likely to discourage investors to participate in the Rights Issue.

The estimated net price per Rights Share (assuming no further issue or repurchase of Shares on or before the Record Date) after deducting the related expenses of the Rights Issue will be approximately up to HK$0.0334.

The Directors (excluding the members of the Independent Board Committee, whose opinion will be provided after taking into account the advice of the independent financial adviser) consider that the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, are fair, reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Status of the Rights Shares

The Rights Shares, when allotted, issued and fully paid, shall rank pari passu in all respects among themselves and with the Consolidated Shares then in issue, including the rights to receive all future dividends and other distributions which may be declared, made or paid with a record date which falls on or after the date of allotment of the Rights Shares in their fully-paid form.

Qualifying Shareholders

The Rights Issue is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders. To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must be registered as a member of the Company as at the close of business on the Record Date and not be an Excluded Shareholder. In order to be registered as members of the Company on the Record Date so as to qualify for the Rights Issue, any transfers of the Shares (together with the relevant share certificate(s) and/or the instrument(s) of transfer) must be lodged with the Registrar, Boardroom Share Registrars (HK) Limited, at 2103B, 21/F, 148 Electric Road, North Point, Hong Kong, for registration no later than 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, 9 May 2024.

Shareholders whose Shares are held by nominee companies (or which are deposited in CCASS) should note that the Board will regard a nominee company (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) as a single Shareholder according to the register of members of the Company. Shareholders with their Shares held by nominee companies (or which are deposited in CCASS) are advised to consider whether they would like to arrange for registration of the relevant Shares in the name of the beneficial owner(s) prior to the Record Date. Shareholders and investors should consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt as to their status and action to be taken.

It is expected that the last day of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on a cum-rights basis is Tuesday, 7 May 2024, and the Consolidated Shares will be dealt with on an ex-rights basis from Wednesday, 8 May 2024.

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Company will make available the Prospectus Documents containing, among other things, details of the Rights Issue, the Placing Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, to the Qualifying Shareholders, including any Overseas Shareholders who the Rights Issue is extended to, on the Prospectus Posting Date. The Company will send this circular and the Prospectus (without the PAL) to the Excluded Shareholders (if any) subject to compliance with the relevant local laws, regulations and requirements for their information only but will not send any PAL to them.

Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares to which they are entitled and Excluded Shareholders should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.

– 23 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Closure of register of members

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 10 May 2024 to Friday, 17 May 2024 (both dates inclusive) for determining the Shareholders’ entitlements to the Rights Issue. No transfer of Shares will be registered during the above book closure period.

Rights of the Overseas Shareholders (if any)

The Prospectus Documents to be issued in connection with the Rights Issue will not be registered or filed under the securities law of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong. Overseas Shareholders may not be eligible to take part in the Rights Issue as explained below.

The Board will comply with Rule 13.36 of the Listing Rules and make necessary enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to the Overseas Shareholders (if any) under the laws of the relevant overseas jurisdictions and the requirements of the relevant regulatory bodies or stock exchanges. If, based on legal advice, the Board is of the opinion that it would be necessary or expedient not to offer the Rights Shares to any Overseas Shareholders on account either of the legal restrictions of the relevant overseas regulatory body or stock exchange, no provisional allotment of the Nil-paid Rights or allotment of fully-paid Rights Shares will be made to such Overseas Shareholders. In such circumstances, the Rights Issue will not be extended to the Excluded Shareholders. The basis for excluding the Excluded Shareholders, if any, from the Rights Issue will be set out in the Prospectus to be issued.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 9 Overseas Shareholders with registered addresses situated in the PRC and Macau. The Company has sought legal opinion regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to these aforementioned Overseas Shareholders and has been advised that there are no restrictions under the relevant laws or the requirements of the relevant regulatory bodies or stock exchange which would prevent the Company from including the Overseas Shareholder(s) with registered address(es) located in the PRC and Macau in the Rights Issue. Based upon such advice, the Overseas Shareholders having registered address in the PRC and Macau will not be excluded from the Rights Issue and shall therefore be the Qualifying Shareholders. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be extended to such Overseas Shareholders having registered address in the PRC and Macau as at the Record Date.

Arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares, which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Excluded Shareholders, to be sold in their nil-paid form as soon as practicable after dealings in the Nil-paid Rights commence, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. The proceeds of such sale, less expenses, will be paid pro rata (but rounded down to the nearest dollar) to the relevant Excluded Shareholders in Hong Kong dollars, except that the Company will retain individual amounts of less than HK$100 for its own benefit.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

All ES Unsold Rights Shares, which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Excluded Shareholders in nil-paid form, will be placed by the Placing Agent at the price at least equal to the Subscription Price under the Placing. For the Nil-paid Rights that are sold as described above but the buyers of such Nil-paid Rights do not take up the entitlement, such Unsubscribed Rights Shares will be subject to the Compensatory Arrangements. Any ES Unsold Rights Shares and Unsubscribed Rights Shares which are not placed under the Placing will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly.

Overseas Shareholders should note that they may or may not be entitled to the Rights Issue, subject to the results of enquiries made by the Directors pursuant to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules. The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any acceptance of or applications for Rights Shares where it believes that such acceptance or application would violate the applicable securities or other laws or regulations of any territory or jurisdiction. Accordingly, the Overseas Shareholders should exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

Basis of provisional allotments

The Rights Shares will be allotted on the basis of four (4) Rights Share for every one (1) Consolidated Shares held by the Qualifying Shareholders as at the close of business on the Record Date at the Subscription Price payable in full on application and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Prospectus Documents. There will be no excess application arrangement in relation to the Rights Issue.

Application for all or any part of a Qualifying Shareholder’s provisional allotment should be made by completing a PAL and a cheque or a banker’s cashier order for the sum payable for the Rights Shares being applied for with the Registrar on or before the Latest Time for Acceptance.

Fractional entitlement to the Rights Shares

In any event, fractions of the Rights Shares will not be provisionally allotted to any of the Qualifying Shareholders. Fractional entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Rights Shares and aggregated and, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained, sold in the market by the Company.

Certificates of the Rights Shares or refund cheques for the Rights Issue

Subject to fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, share certificates for the fully-paid Rights Shares are expected to be posted on Thursday, 27 June 2024, to those entitled thereto by ordinary post, at their own risk, to their registered addresses.

– 25 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If the Rights Issue is terminated, refund cheques will be posted on Thursday, 27 June 2024 by ordinary post to the respective Shareholders, at their own risk, to their registered addresses.

Application for listing of the Rights Shares

The Company will apply to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Rights Shares (in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms) to be issued and allotted pursuant to the Rights Issue. No part of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in, and no listing of or permission to deal in any such securities is being or is proposed to be sought, on any other stock exchanges.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Rights Shares (in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms) on the Stock Exchange as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Rights Shares (in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms) will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the respective commencement dates of dealings in the Rights Shares in their nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange, or such other dates 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. Shareholders should seek advice from their licensed securities dealer(s) or other professional adviser(s) for details of those settlement arrangements and how such arrangements will affect their rights and interests.

Dealing in the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms will be in the board lots of 2,500 Rights Shares. Dealings in the Rights Shares in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms, which are registered in the register of members of the Company in Hong Kong, will be subject to the payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, SFC transaction levy or any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

Procedures in respect of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the ES Unsold Rights Shares and the Compensatory Arrangements

The Company will make arrangements described in Rule 7.21(1)(b) of the Listing Rules to dispose of the Placing Shares by offering the Placing Shares to independent Placees for the benefit of the Shareholders to whom they were offered by way of the Rights Issue. As the Compensatory Arrangements are in place, there will be no excess application arrangement in relation to the Rights Issue.

Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the Company has appointed the Placing Agent to place the Placing Shares during the Placing Period to independent Placees on a best effort basis. The Placing Agent will, on a best effort basis, procure, by not later than 4:00 p.m., on Wednesday, 19 June 2024, acquirers for all (or as many as possible) of those Placing

– 26 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shares.

– 30 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The terms of the Placing Agreement (including the Placing commission of 0.5% of the gross proceeds, from the successful placement of Unsubscribed Rights Shares) were determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Placing Agent and the Company with reference to the size of the Rights Issue and the prevailing market rate of commission and are on normal commercial terms. The Directors (other than the members of the Independent Board Committee whose opinion will be set forth in this circular after considering the advice from the Independent Financial Adviser) consider that the terms of the Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable.

Given that the Compensatory Arrangements would provide a compensatory mechanism for the No Action Shareholders and protect the interest of the Independent Shareholders, the Company consider that the Compensatory Arrangements are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As the proposed Rights Issue is subject to the above conditions, it may or may not proceed.

Reasons for and benefits of the Rights Issue and use of proceeds

The principal activities of the Group are the provision of fitting-out works in Macau. The Group operates two business segments. The Fitting-out Works segment is involved in execution of fitting-out works, procurement of materials, site supervision, management of subcontractors, overall project management, interior decorative and modification works for existing buildings. The Building Construction Works segment is involved in structural building works, procurement of materials, site supervision, management of subcontractors and overall project management.

Assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue, the expected gross proceeds of the Rights Issue will be up to approximately HK$157.847 million and the relevant expenses would be approximately HK$2.587 million, which includes placing commission and professional fees payable to financial adviser, legal advisers and other parties involved in the Rights Issue.

As disclosed in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2023, bank balance and cash of the Company as at 30 June 2023 amounted to approximately MOP27.526 million only whereas bank loans and overdrafts of the Company amounted to approximately MOP402.783 million as at 30 June 2023. The Company had to rely on bank loans and overdrafts for its working capital needs. In addition to the above, the Company had trade payables and other payables of approximately MOP99.7 million as current liabilities as at 30 June 2023. As at 31 December 2023, the total overdue bank loans and overdrafts amounted to approximately MOP300.61 million. Therefore, the Group has an immediate need for financial resources to settle the overdue liabilities and replenish its working capital.

– 31 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Rights Issue in the following manner:

  • (i) approximately 90% (being approximately MOP143.925 million) for repayment of bank loans, overdrafts and other payables of the Group within around three months upon completion of the Rights Issue; and

  • (ii) approximately 10% (being approximately MOP15.991 million) as general working capital of the Group, including but not limited to its daily operational expenses and its staff cost of the Group for the forthcoming 6 months upon completion of the Rights Issue.

In the event that there is an under subscription of the Rights Issue, the net proceeds will be utilised on a pro rata basis as set out above.

Having taken into account the low level of bank balance and cash for daily operations as well as the finance costs associated with bank loans and overdrafts, the Directors consider that the Rights Issue represents an opportunity for the Company to settle the majority of outstanding liabilities, strengthen the Group’s financial position and raise additional funding for the business operations of the Group without any interest burden.

The Directors had considered other fund-raising alternatives available to the Group, including debt financing such as bank borrowings, and other equity financing such as placing or subscription of new Shares. The Directors are of the view that debt financing will result in additional interest burden and the interest rate is expected to be further increased in prevailing borrowing market. Besides, the debt financing will further increase the gearing ratio of the Group which is not beneficial to the Group.

The Directors consider that financing the funding needs of the Group in the form of equity is a better alternative. Amongst the equity financing methods, placing or subscription of new Shares would dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders without giving the chance to the existing Shareholders to participate the subscription of new Shares. Instead of the placing or subscription of new Shares, the Rights Issue enables the Group to improve its financial position without increasing its debt or finance costs.

Since the Rights Issue will allow the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their proportional shareholdings in the Company and allow the Group fulfill its aforementioned need for financial resources to settle the overdue liabilities and replenish its working capital, the Directors consider that raising capital through the Rights Issue is in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. However, those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares to which they are entitled and Non-Qualifying Shareholders (if any) should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.

– 32 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In view of the above, the Board considers that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to proceed with the Rights Issue to provide existing Shareholders the opportunity to participate in the enlarged capital base of the Company.

EFFECTS ON SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE

To the best knowledge of the Directors, the following table sets out the possible changes in the shareholding structure of the Company arising from the Share Consolidation and the Rights Issue which are for illustrative purpose only.

The Independent Board Committee comprising four independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Eulógio dos Remédios, José António, Mr. Lam Chi Wing, Mr. Li Guohui and Mr. Choi King Leung, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Rights Issue, and the transactions contemplated thereunder, are entered into in the usual and ordinary course of business, on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole and to advise the Independent Shareholders on how to vote at the EGM.

We have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser and approved by the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

OUR INDEPENDENCE

We did not have any business relationship with or interest in the Company that could reasonably be regarded as relevant in assessing our independence as at the Latest Practicable Date. Save for our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, Red Sun Capital did not act as an independent financial adviser to the Company under the Listing Rules in the past two years. Apart from the normal advisory fee payable to us in connection with our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangement exists whereby we shall receive any other fees or benefits from the Company or any other parties in connection with the Rights Issue that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. Accordingly, we consider that we are independent pursuant to Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules.

BASIS OF OUR ADVICE

In order to formulate our advice, we have relied on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular and the information and representations provided to us by the Group, the Directors and/or senior management of the Company (the “ Management ”).

Summary of published information of the Group subsequent to 31 December 2023 up to the Latest Practicable Date

We noted from the announcements of Company dated 14 February 2024, 19 February 2024 and 25 March 2024 in relation to the winding up petition filed by certain petitioner against the Company regarding a demand for the repayment of the principal amount and interest accrued of a bond in the aggregate amount of HK$34,000,000, which may exert pressure on the working capital position of the Group.

In addition, we noted from the announcement of Company dated 22 March 2024 that, on 22 March 2024, pursuant to a disposal agreement, the Group as the vendor agreed to sell and two independent third parties as the purchasers agreed to purchase approximately 61.4% shares of Space Financial Holdings Limited, which will become an associate of the Group after completion of such transaction, and HK$4.6 million from the proceed will be utilised for repayment of debts of the Company.

2. Rights issue

Reasons for and benefit of the Rights Issue and use of proceeds

As stated in the Letter from the Board, assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue, the expected gross proceeds of the Rights Issue will be up to approximately HK$157.847 million and the relevant expenses would be approximately HK$2.587 million, which includes placing commission and professional fees payable to financial adviser, legal advisers and other parties involved in the Rights Issue. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Rights Issue as to (i) approximately 90% (being approximately MOP143.925 million) for repayment of bank loans, overdrafts and other payables of the Group within around three months upon completion of the Rights Issue; and (ii) approximately 10% (being approximately MOP15.991 million) as general working capital of the Group, including but not limited to its daily operational expenses and its staff cost of the Group for the forthcoming six months upon completion of the Rights Issue. In the event that there is an under subscription of the Rights Issue, the net proceeds will be utilised on a pro rata basis as set out above.

– 49 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

With reference to the Letter from the Board and the 2023 Annual Results Announcement, we noted that, as at 31 December 2023, the Group recorded (i) cash and bank balances of approximately MOP20.3 million; (ii) pledged deposits of approximately MOP5.8 million; and (iii) bank loans and overdrafts of approximately MOP303.6 million, representing a net debt position of approximately MOP277.5 million.

We noted from the Management that, up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Group received demand letters from various banks for the repayment of not less than MOP300.0 million, which may further exert pressure on the working capital position of the Group. On this basis, the Group has an urgent need for additional financial resources to settle its overdue liabilities and replenish its working capital.

In light of the aforesaid analysis and the fact that the Rights Issue will give all the Qualifying Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the long-term development of the Company without diluting their corresponding shareholdings in the event that they take up their entitlement in full, we concur with the Board that the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Fundraising alternatives considered by the Group

As set out in the Letter form the Board, the Directors have considered other financing alternatives, such as debt and equity issues to raise funds including bank borrowings, placing and an open offer.

As mentioned in the Letter form the Board, for debt financing, such as bank borrowings, the Company is of the view that, if available, carry additional interest costs and create pressure to the liquidity of the Company. We have discussed with the Management and noted that debt financing would increase the interest burden of the Group, in particular, as the Federal Reserve of the United States has raised its benchmark interest rate in recent years and may remain at or around the prevailing level for a period of time in 2024 barring unforeseen circumstances, and the base interest rate set by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority is also expected to move in the similar direction.

Moreover, we have discussed with the Management and understand that, the Management has contacted several financial institutions regarding the possibilities of debt financing. However, based on the relevant feedback, the Management is of the view that considering the winding up petition filed by certain petitioner against the Company regarding a demand for the repayment of the principal amount and interest accrued of a bond in the aggregate amount of HK$34,000,000 with reference the announcements of Company dated 12 September 2023, 20 September 2023, 6 October 2023 and 8 November 2023, 20 December 2023, 14 February 2024, 19 February 2024 and 25 March 2024, there are uncertainties around obtaining new credit lines/facilities. Additional debt financing will increase the Group’s financial burden

– 50 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

due to potential increase in the finance costs. In this connection, the Directors considered that debt financing is a less preferable option for fund raising currently.

In relation to other equity fund raising methods, such as placement or subscription of new Shares, with reference to the Letter form the Board, such may dilute the interests of existing Shareholders without giving them the opportunity to take part in the exercise. We also discussed with the Management and understand that, unlike the open offer, the Rights Issue enables the Shareholders to sell the nil-paid rights in the market, but such mechanism is not typically available for open offers.

It is noted from the Management that they have contacted financial institutions regarding the possibilities of equity fund raising exercise other than rights issue. However, based on the relevant feedback, the Board is of the view that the disadvantages and/or uncertainties associated with the abovementioned equity fund raising exercises compared to fund raising through a rights issue makes it a less preferable option for the Group’s fund raising exercise.

Having taken into consideration the above, including, (i) the Rights Issue will strengthen the capital base of the Company, thus enhancing the Group’s financial position without incurring additional interest expenses, and also offers all Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their pro rata shareholding interests in the Company and avoid dilution for those Shareholders who take up their entitlement under the Rights Issue in full, although Shareholder(s) who does not take up their provisional allotments under the Rights Issue will subject to dilution on their respective shareholding in the Company; (ii) the Rights Issue is the preferred option over the other alternatives since it would strengthen the capital base of the Company, enhance its cash position without the ongoing burden of interest expenses while allowing Qualifying Shareholders, who take up their entitlement under the Rights Issue in full, to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholdings in the Company; and (iii) the reasons for the Rights Issue as discussed above, we concur with the Directors that the Rights Issue are in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Principal terms of the Rights Issue

Set out below is a summary of principal terms of the Rights Issue:

Basis of the Rights Issue: Four (4) Rights Shares for every one (1) Consolidated Share held by the Qualifying Shareholders at the close of business on the Record Date Subscription Price: HK$0.68 per Consolidated Share after the Share Consolidation becoming effective

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Number of Existing Shares 1,160,640,000 Existing Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date:

Number of Consolidated Shares in issue immediately upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective:

58,032,000 Consolidated Shares (assuming no further issue or repurchase of Shares up to the effective date of the Share Consolidation)

Number of Rights Shares to Up to 232,128,000 Consolidated Shares be issued pursuant to the (assuming no further issue or repurchase of Rights Issue: Shares on or before the Record Date) Number of Consolidated Up to 290,160,000 Consolidated Shares Shares in issue upon (assuming no further issue or repurchase of completion of the Rights Shares on or before the Record Date other than Issue: the Rights Shares)

Gross proceeds to be raised Up to approximately HK$157,847,040 (before before expenses: expenses)

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any options outstanding under any share option scheme of the Company or any other derivatives, options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into Shares. With reference to the Letter form the Board, assuming that there will not be any further issue of new Shares or repurchase of Shares on or before the Record Date, the 232,128,000 Consolidated Shares to be issued pursuant to the terms of the proposed Rights Issue represents approximately 400% of the total number of issued Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and approximately 80% of the total number of issued Consolidated Shares as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares (assuming all the Rights Shares will be taken up).

With reference to the Letter form the Board, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board has not received any information from any Shareholders of their intention to take up the Rights Shares to be provisionally allotted to them under the Rights Issue.

The Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptances of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. In the event that the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, the Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders will be placed to independent Placees under the Compensatory Arrangements. The Placing Shares which remain not placed under the Compensatory Arrangements will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly. There is no minimum amount to be raised under the Rights

– 52 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Issue. There is also no statutory requirement regarding minimum subscription level in respect of the Rights Issue.

As the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis, Shareholders who apply to take up all or part of their entitlements under the PALs may unwittingly incur an obligation to make a general offer for the Shares under the Takeovers Code. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be made on terms that the Company will provide for the Shareholders to apply on the basis that if the Rights Shares are not fully taken up, the application of any Shareholder (except for HKSCC Nominees Limited) for his/her/its assured entitlement under the Rights Issue will be scaled down to a level which (i) does not trigger an obligation on part of the relevant Shareholder to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code in accordance to the note to Rule 7.19(5)(b) of the Listing Rules; and/or (ii) does not result in the non-compliance of the Public Float Requirement on the part of the Company.

The Subscription Price

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Subscription Price of HK$0.034 per Rights Share (or HK$0.68 per Consolidated Share after the Share Consolidation becoming effective) is payable in full by a Qualifying Shareholder upon acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue, or where a transferee of the Nil-paid Rights applies for the Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (i) a discount of 19.05% to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.84 per Consolidated Share (after taking into account the effect of the Share Consolidation) based on the closing price of HK$0.042 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 18.27% to the adjusted theoretical average closing price of approximately HK$0.832 per Consolidated Share (after taking into account the effect of the Share Consolidation) based on the average closing price of HK$0.0416 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 18.85% to the adjusted theoretical average closing price of approximately HK$0.838 per Consolidated Share (after taking into account the effect of the Share Consolidation) based on the average closing price of HK$0.0419 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten (10) consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

– 53 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 4.49% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.0712 per Consolidated Share (after taking into account the effect of the Share Consolidation), based on the closing price of HK$0.042 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (v) a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of a discount of approximately 15.24%, represented by the theoretical diluted price of approximately HK$0.712 per Consolidated Share (after taking into account the effect of the Share Consolidation) to the theoretical benchmarked price of HK$0.84 per Consolidated Share (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules, taking into account the higher of the closing price of HK$0.042 per Existing Share on the Last Trading Day and the average closing price of the Existing Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the Last Trading Day of HK$0.0416 per Existing Share and adjusted for the effect of the Share Consolidation;

  • (vi) a discount of approximately 93.34% to the net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.511 (based on the latest audited consolidated net asset value of the Group of approximately MOP575.353 million (equivalent to approximately HK$592.613 million) as at 31 December 2023 as disclosed in the 2023 Annual Results Announcement for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 and 1,160,640,000 Shares); and

  • (vii) a discount of 5.56% to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.72 per Consolidated Share (after taking into account the effect of the Share Consolidation) based on the closing price of HK$0.036 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the Subscription Price was set at a discount to the recent closing prices of the Shares so as to lower the further investment cost of the Shareholders and to encourage them to take up their entitlements to maintain their shareholdings in the Company, thereby minimizing dilution impact. The Subscription Price was determined with reference to, among others, (i) the market price of the Existing Shares under the prevailing market conditions; (ii) the financial position of the Group; and (iii) the reasons as discussed in the section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Rights Issue and use of proceeds” in the Letter from the Board. The Board is of the view that (i) the Subscription Price representing a discount to the consolidated net asset value per Share as at 31 December 2023 is fair and reasonable in light of the current weak market sentiment and the anticipated market response to the Rights Issue by the Directors in order to attract Shareholders and investors to participate in the Rights Issue; (ii) the closing prices of the Shares shown an overall downward trend for the past 11 months; (iii) it makes commercial sense to set the Subscription Price at a

– 54 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

discount to the prevailing market price in order to attract Shareholders and investors to participate in the Rights Issue, especially under the current market downturn; and (iv) the terms of the Rights Issue (including the Subscription Price) are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, whilst the Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 93.34 % to the net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.511 (based on the latest audited consolidated net asset value of the Group of approximately MOP575.353 million (equivalent to approximately HK$592.613 million) as at 31 December 2023 as disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 and 1,160,640,000 Shares), the Board is of the view that the net asset value per Shares is not the sole relevant factor to determine the Subscription Price due to the fact that the Shares traded below the net asset value per Shares continuously over the past 8 months. Apart from the low Share price, the low trading volume of the Shares during the 8-month period prior to the Rights Issue with average daily trading volume amounted to approximately 2.32% of the total issued Shares. Under the current market condition and with reference to the recent market performance of the Shares, it would not be practical nor commercially feasible to set a Subscription Price which is significantly higher than the prevailing market price, which would likely to discourage investors to participate in the Rights Issue.

Our analysis on the Subscription Price

We set out the following analysis for illustrative purposes with a view to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price:

Our analysis on historical Share price performance

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price (being HK$0.68 per Consolidated Share after the Share Consolidation becoming effective), we have reviewed the movements of the theoretical adjusted closing price of 20 shares in aggregate, calculated by aggregating the relevant closing price of 20 Shares (the “ Adjusted Closing Price ”) during the period from 2 March 2023, being 12 months immediately preceding the Last Trading Day, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date (the “ Share Price Review Period ”), which is commonly adopted timeframe for similar share price analysis in the market and is considered to be adequately lengthy to illustrate the recent trend of the closing prices of the Shares for our analysis on the Subscription Price, the closing prices of the Shares and its trading volume for the purpose of assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price.

However, the Adjusted Closing Price experienced a substantial decrease from HK$70.00 on 28 April 2023 to HK$7.70 on 2 May 2023. Subsequently, the Company published the announcement in relation to inside information and resumption of trading on 3 May 2023 which indicated that on 2 May 2023, 99,770,000 Shares held by Space Investment (BVI) Limited, a controlling shareholder of the Company, were forcibly sold in the open market by securities companies through margin securities accounts (the “ Forcibly Sold ”).

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Notes:

  1. Calculated based on the total number of the Shares in issue at the Last Trading Day. For the avoidance of doubt, the total number of the Shares in issue as at the Last Trading Day does not represent the actual number of Shares in issue during the Share Price Review Period. On this basis, the analysis set out in the table above is for illustration purposes only.

  2. Calculated based on the total number of the Shares held by public shareholders as set out in the Letter from the Board as at the Latest Practicable Date.

  3. We noted that from the announcement of the Company dated 3 May 2023, 99,770,000 Shares held by Space Investment (BVI) Limited were forcibly sold in the open market by securities companies through margin securities accounts, and it was also noted that on 10 July 2023, the price of Share decreased by over 60% intra-day with a trading volume over 300 million Shares. Given the one-off nature of the above-mentioned events, we considered that the trading volume data for the month of May and July 2023 would have been distorted, thus we have considered them outliers and excluded them from our relevant analysis.

As set out in the table above, during the Share Price Review Period, the percentage of average daily trading volume of the Shares by month/period, excluding outliers, were in the range of (i) approximately 0.11% to approximately 5.77% with an average of approximately 1.19% as to the total number of issued Shares; and (ii) approximately 0.13% to approximately 6.71% with an average of approximately 1.38% as to the total number of Shares held by public Shareholders.

The trading volume of the Shares was notably higher in June, August and September 2023 (other than outliers) compared to other months/periods during the Share Price Review Period, which may be attributable to the market reaction and/or knock-on effects of the various published information, announcements and/or corporate actions of the Company during the subject period, including, (i) the substantial decrease in price of the Shares and the Trading Halt, the corresponding announcement of inside information published by the Company on 3 May 2023 setting out information in relation to certain Shares held by the controlling Shareholder at the time being Forcibly Sold; (ii) the announcement of interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2023 of the Company dated 30 August 2023 which set out a deterioration in the financial performance of the Group for the six month ended 30 June 2023; and (iii) announcements in relation to the winding-up petition published by the Company on 12 September 2023 and 20 September 2023.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The above statistics revealed that the trading liquidity of the Shares has not been high in the open market, in particular, in the recent six months period since October 2023 up to the Latest Practicable Date. On this basis and considering the financial position and performance of the Group, we are of the view that the Company is unlikely to be able to raise notable amount of funds via equity financing without a notable discount. Hence, we concur with the Directors that the Subscription Price, which represents a discount to the Adjusted Closing Price as at the Last Trading Day would encourage Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and accordingly maintain their respective shareholdings in the Company.

Our analysis on recent rights issue market comparables

With a view to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Rights Issue, we have also conducted market research on recent proposed rights issue transactions based on the following selection criteria: (i) the shares of the company are listed on the Stock Exchange; (ii) the gross proceeds of the subject proposed rights issue transaction is not more than HK$300 million, after taking into consideration the gross proceeds of the Rights Issue of up to approximately HK$157.8 million; and (iii) the proposed rights issue transaction was announced during the 6-month period (the “ Review Period ”) commencing on 2 September 2023 up to and including the Last Trading Day, which we considered to be an appropriate timeframe to identify a representative sample set for the purpose of our analysis (together the “ Criteria ”).

Notes:

  1. The benchmarked price used for calculation of the theoretical ex-rights price is calculated in accordance with Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules or Rule 10.44A of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on GEM (the “ GEM Listing Rules ”), being the higher of (i) the closing price per share on the last trading day of the subject Rights Issue Comparable; and (ii) average closing price per share for the five trading days immediately prior to the last trading day of the subject Rights Issue Comparable.

  2. The net asset value (the “ NAV ”) per share is calculated based on the latest published audited/unaudited, where applicable, consolidated NAV attributable to owners of the respective company and total number of shares in issue as at the date of the respective announcements. “N/A” denotes that the subject company recorded net liabilities according to its latest published audited/unaudited consolidated financial statements.

  3. The theoretical dilution effect is calculated in accordance with Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules or Rule 10.44A of the GEM Listing Rules. “–” denotes that the rights issue has no theoretical dilution effect attributable to the subject theoretical ex-right price being higher than the subject benchmarked price.

  4. “N/A” denotes that the subject rights issue was conducted on a non-underwritten basis.

– 62 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  1. “N/A” denotes that the subject rights issue was conducted without the involvement of any placing.

  2. Given the premium of subscription price over the NAV per share for Elife Holdings Limited of approximately 354.8%, is notably higher than other Rights Issue Comparables, with the next closest comparable being at a premium of approximately 96.9%, thus such was considered to be an outlier and excluded from the analysis on the subscription price over the NAV per share.

  3. Analysis is based on the absolute percentage of the underwriting commission.

  4. Analysis is based on the absolute percentage of the placing commission.

  5. Figures or data shown in the above table are based on information as set out in the subject announcement or circular of the respective listed company or by our calculation, where applicable.

  6. The above figures may subject to rounding adjustments, where applicable.

As set out in the table above, we noted that:

  • (i) the premium or discount of subscription price over or to the closing price on the last trading day of the Rights Issue Comparables ranged from a discount of approximately 74.0% to a premium of approximately 11.1% (the “ Comparable LTD Range ”), with the average and median of discounts being approximately 24.9% (the “ Comparable LTD Average ”) and 24.6%, respectively. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 19.0% to the Adjusted Closing Price on the Last Trading Day, which is within the Comparable LTD Range and represents a lower discount than the aforesaid average and median;

  • (ii) the premium or discount of subscription price over or to the theoretical ex-rights price of the Rights Issue Comparables ranged from a discount of approximately 69.5% to a premium of approximately 4.9% (the “ Comparable TERP Range ”), with the average and median of discounts of approximately 15.9% (the “ Comparable TERP Average ”) and 10.1%, respectively. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 4.5% to the theoretical ex-rights price per Consolidated Share on the Last Trading Day which is within the Comparable TERP Range and represents a lower discount than the aforesaid average and median;

  • (iii) the premium or discount of subscription price over or to the consolidated NAV per share of the Rights Issue Comparables (excluding outlier) ranged from a discount of approximately 96.5% to a premium of approximately 96.9% (the “ Comparable NAV Range ”), with average and median of discounts of approximately 51.3% and 64.0%, respectively. The Subscription Price represents a discount of

– 63 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

approximately 94.0% to the consolidated NAV per Consolidated Share on the Last Trading Day which is within the Comparable NAV Range but a higher discount compared to the average and median. Given the Subscription Price was determined with reference to the prevailing closing price of the Shares at the material time, and that the closing price of the Shares is market driven and should have reflected the relevant information available to the market at the material time. On this basis, we considered that it is appropriate for the purpose of our analysis to consider the other discounts/premiums of the Rights Issue Comparables set out in this section as a whole rather than solely place our focus on the discount/premium of the respective subscription price to the consolidated NAV per share of the Rights Issue Comparables in isolation;

  • (iv) the theoretical dilution effect of the Comparable Rights Issue ranged from approximately 23.9% to nil% (the “ Comparable Dilution Range ”), with average and median dilution effects of approximately 12.9% and 15.1%, respectively. The theoretical dilution effect of the Rights Issue of approximately 15.2% is within the Comparable Dilution Range and higher than the average and median dilution effects of the Comparable Rights Issue. In any case, as the theoretical dilution effect of the Rights Issue is below 25%, it is in compliance with Rule 7.27B of the GEM Listing Rules;

  • (v) it is noted from the Letter from the Board that the Qualifying Shareholders will not be entitled to subscribe for any Rights Shares in excess of their respective entitlements. Based on our analysis on the Rights Issue Comparables, we noted that 18 out of 30 Rights Issue Comparables, did not offer excess application as part of the rights issue. On this basis, we considered the absence of excess application to be common market practice. Furthermore, the Rights Issue will give the Qualifying Shareholders an equal and fair opportunity to maintain their respective pro rata shareholding interests in the Company, for Qualifying Shareholders who accept their respective entitlements under the Rights Issue in full, they would be able to maintain their respective existing shareholdings in the Company after completion of the Rights Issue. As such, we considered that the absence of excess application arrangement to be acceptable as far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned;

– 64 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (vi) the Rights Issue is on a non-underwritten basis, which is considered to be in line with market practice, given 20 out of 30 Rights Issue Comparables were also conducted on a non-underwritten basis. Furthermore, under the Compensatory Arrangements, the Company entered into the Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent to procure Placees, on a best effort basis, to subscribe for the Placing Shares during the Placing Period; and

  • (vii) the placing commission of the Rights Issue Comparables, where applicable, ranged from 0.5% to 5.0%, with the average and median of approximately 2.25% and 2.0%, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Placing Agreement, the Placing commission is 0.5% of the gross proceeds, from the successful placement of Unsubscribed Rights Shares, such is within the aforesaid range of the Rights Issue Comparables.

In determining the current subscription ratio and the Subscription Price, we understand from the Management that the Company has considered various factors, including, among others, (i) a reasonable discount to the closing price of the Shares that is necessary to attract the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue; (ii) the financial position of the Group; (iii) the funding needs of the Group; and (iv) the terms of other rights issue market precedents.

In view of (i) the Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 19.0% to the Adjusted Closing Price on the Last Trading Day which is within the Comparable LTD Range and represents a lower discount than the corresponding average and median of the Rights Issue Comparables; (ii) the discount of the Subscription Price to the theoretical ex-rights price per Consolidated Share on the Last Trading Day is within the Comparable TERP Range and such discount is lower than the corresponding average and median of the Rights Issue Comparables; (iii) the discount of the Subscription Price to the consolidated NAV per Consolidated Share is within the Comparable NAV Range; (iv) the theoretical dilution effect of the Rights Issue is within the Comparable Dilution Range and below 25%; (v) our analysis on the Compensatory Arrangement in absence of excess application arrangement; and (vi) the Subscription Price is available to all Qualifying Shareholders, we consider that the principal terms of the Rights Issue (including the Subscription Price) to be fair and reasonable to the Shareholders and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

and subscribed in full on 30 June 2023, the unaudited consolidated net tangible assets attributable to equity holders of the Company would have increased from approximately HK$676.3 million as at 30 June 2023 to an unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets attributable to equity holders of the Company of approximately HK$831.6 million immediately after the completion of the Rights Issue.

Working capital

Upon completion of the Rights Issue and assuming it is subscribed in full and before utilising for the repayment of bank loans and overdrafts of the Group, the bank balances of the Group is expected to increase by an amount equivalent to the net proceeds from the Rights Issue, which is estimated to be up to approximately MOP155.3 million.

Gearing ratio

According to the 2023 Annual Results Announcement, the gearing ratio of the Company, calculated by total debts divided by total equity; total debts included bank loans and overdrafts and other borrowings, was approximately 0.528 as at 31 December 2023. Since most of the net proceeds from the Rights Issue are intended to be used as the repayment of bank loans and overdrafts of the Group, the total liabilities of the Company are expected to decrease as a result of the Rights Issue.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analysis is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon completion of the Rights Issue.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

RECOMMENDATION

In respect to our recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have considered the above principal factors and reasons, in particular, the following:

  • (i) our analysis on the working needs arising from the Group’s operations, in particular, the fire safety system projects on hand and the limited bank balances and cash of the Group as set out under the section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Rights Issue and use of proceeds” in this letter;

  • (ii) our analysis on the trading volume and liquidity of the Shares as set out under the section headed “Our analysis on historical trading volume and liquidity” in this letter;

  • (iii) our analysis on the Rights Issue Comparables, including our findings on the Subscription Price and the respective discounts it represents are in line with market practice based on our analysis, as set out under the section headed “Our analysis on recent rights issue market comparables” in this letter;

  • (iv) the expected financial effects attributable to the Rights Issue, including the improvement in the Group’s net debt position and the expected ease of immediate working capital pressure; and

  • (v) the interests of the Qualifying Shareholders will not be prejudiced by the discount of the Subscription Price as long as they are offered with an equal opportunity to participate in the Rights Issue and subscribe for the Rights Shares, while those Qualifying Shareholders who do not wish to subscribe for their pro-rata entitlement of the Rights Shares can receive economic benefits from selling their nil-paid Rights Shares in the market.

In light of the above, we are of the view that the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, basis of the Rights Issue (i.e. four (4) Rights Shares for every one (1) Consolidated Shares held at the close of business on the Record Date), although is not entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, but are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and therefore is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of Red Sun Capital Limited Lewis Lai

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group is principally engaged in the fitting-out works and provision of financial services.

In 2023, the Company encountered a wide range of challenges. Externally, the economic environment presented the Company with uncertainties and difficulties, including a global economic slowdown, financial market volatility, intense market competition, and increased cost pressures. Internally, the Company has also been facing the pressure for the repayment of bank loans.

In response to the challenges faced in recent years, the governments of Hong Kong and Macau has initiated several schemes to support the local economy and businesses. These include measures designed to attract overseas talent, cancellation of special stamp duties on residential properties sale, financial support to boost domestic consumption, and plans for large-scale infrastructure projects across the cities. Looking ahead, the local economic outlook is expected to improve as economic activities return to normal in the post-pandemic era.

The fitting-out industry in Hong Kong and Macau, despite facing ongoing challenges, is expected to recover in the coming years, driven by demand for new and renovated commercial and residential spaces. However, contractors must adapt to changing market conditions and explore innovative solutions and strategies to remain competitive. With extensive experience in the market, the Group recognises that opportunities for growth and success are present in the fitting-out industry for contractors that can skillfully navigate the complexities of the market and adapt to changing circumstances. In light of this, the Group intends to pursue business strategies with both vigour and caution, striking a balance between growth and stability in its future development.

Besides, the management has been actively solving issue of the repayment of outstanding bank loans including but no limited to source different sources of financing and discuss the extension for repayment with different banks.
