PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION, PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 3 June 2021 in relation to, among other matters, the proposed Share Consolidation and Change in Board Lot Size. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with more information regarding the proposed Share Consolidation, proposed Change in Board Lot Size and the notice of EGM.

  • For identification purpose only

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Board proposes that every four (4) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of HK$0.04 each.

Effects of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 800,000,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming no further Shares will be issued from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the EGM, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, there will be 200,000,000 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.04 each in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

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.

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The implementation of the Share Consolidation is conditional upon:

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

  • (ii) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and

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

The Share Consolidation is expected to become effective on Tuesday, 6 July 2021 subject to the fulfilment of the above conditions.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions has been fulfilled.

Listing Application

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

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, the Consolidated 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 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, and at the time the Share Consolidation becomes 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.

Adjustments in relation to other securities of the Company

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no other outstanding options, warrants or other securities in issue which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares, as the case may be.

PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in board lots of 10,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each. It is proposed that, subject to and conditional upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange be changed from 10,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each to 2,500 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.04 each.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.39 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each board lot of 2,500 Consolidated Shares, assuming the Share Consolidation had already become effective, would be HK$3,900.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The proposed Share Consolidation will reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. As such, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Shares. The average closing prices of the Existing Shares were around HK$0.1 in the past one year. The Board considers that the Share Consolidation may make investing in the Consolidated Shares more attractive to a broader range of investors, in particular to institutional and professional investors whose internal policies may otherwise restrict trading in securities that are priced below a certain threshold, and therefore help broaden the shareholders’ base of the Company. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation is beneficial to the Company, the Shareholders and the investors of the Company as a whole.

Save for the necessary professional expenses for the implementation of the Share Consolidation, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operation, management or financial position of the Company and the proportionate interests and rights of the Shareholders. Also, with the proposed Change in Board Lot Size taking place, the Share Consolidation will not result in the creation of any odd lots nor any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

The Board considers that the Share Consolidation is essential to achieve the above-mentioned purpose. Taking into account of the potential benefits and the insubstantial amount of costs to be incurred, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

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. At present, the Company is considering certain methods of fund raising activity for its business operation. However, as at the Latest Practicable Date, there is no concrete plan for any fund raising activity. The Company will update its Shareholders by way of announcement as and when required in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares

Fractional Consolidated Shares (if any) will be disregarded and will not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Existing Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Exchange of certificates for Consolidated Shares

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be Tuesday, 6 July 2021, Shareholders may on or after Tuesday, 6 July 2021 and until Wednesday, 11 August 2021 (both days inclusive), submit their existing share certificates in blue colour for the Existing Shares to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong for exchange for share certificates in red colour for the Consolidated Shares at the expense of the Company.

It is expected that the new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be available for collection within 10 Business Days after submission of the existing share certificates to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong for exchange.

Shareholders should note that after the prescribed time for free exchange of share certificates, a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange) will be payable by the Shareholders to the share registrar for exchange of share certificates.

After close of business on Monday, 9 August 2021, 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.

EGM

A notice convening the EGM to be held at 19/F., Win Plaza, 9 Sheung Hei Street, San Po Kong, Kowloon, Hong Kong on 2 July 2021 at 11:00 a.m. is set out on pages 12 to 13 of this circular.

ACTION TO BE TAKEN

A form of proxy for use at the EGM is enclosed with this circular and such form of proxy is also published on the websites of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited at www.hkexnews.hk and the Company at www.sterlingapparel.com.hk. Whether or not you are able to attend the EGM in person, you are requested to complete and sign the form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it, together with the power of attorney or other authority (if any) under which it is signed or a certified copy of the power of attorney or authority, to the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar and transfer office, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM or any adjourned meeting thereof (as the case may be).
