To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 14 February 2020, in which the Board proposed to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every ten (10) issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company be consolidated into one Consolidated Share of HK$0.10 each in the share capital of the Company.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the information in relation to the Share Consolidation together with the notice of the EGM and related form of proxy.

– 5 –

LETTER FORM THE BOARD

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Company intends to put forward a proposal to the Shareholders to effect the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every ten (10) issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.01 each will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.1 each. The Share Consolidation is conditional upon, among other things, the approval by the Shareholders by way of poll at the EGM. As none of the Shareholders or their associates would have material interest in the Share Consolidation, no Shareholder would be required to abstain from voting in favour of the resolution(s) relating to 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$400,000,000 divided into 40,000,000,000 Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each, of which 14,303,027,600 Shares have been issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming that no further Shares are allotted, issued or repurchased between the date of this circular and the date of the EGM, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company shall become HK$400,000,000 divided into 4,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.1 each, of which 1,430,302,760 Consolidated Shares will be in issue. The Company has 19,833,334 outstanding Share Options and no warrants or securities in issue which are convertible or exchangeable into Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Company’s articles of association. Fractions of Consolidated Shares that arise from the Share Consolidation will not be allocated to the Shareholders otherwise entitled thereto and will be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company.

Other than the expenses to be incurred, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operation, management or financial position of the Company and the interests and 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.

Outstanding share options

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are outstanding Share Options entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for up to an aggregate of 19,833,334 Shares.

As a result of the Share Consolidation and in accordance with the Share Option Scheme, the subscription prices and the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the outstanding share options will be adjusted as follows:

As at the As at the Immediately after the Share

The adjustments shall be subject to the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM. BDO Limited, the auditor of the Company, has certified that the above adjustments of the Share Options are made in accordance with the Share Option Scheme and the note to Rule 17.03(13) of the Listing Rules.

Save as aforesaid, the Company had no other outstanding convertible securities, options or warrants in issue which may confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FORM THE BOARD

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following:

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

  • (ii) the Listing Committee of 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.

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Share Consolidation, the effective date of the Share Consolidation is expected to be on 26 March 2020 being the second business day after the EGM.

Reasons for 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, 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. The ‘‘Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions’’ issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and updated on 30 August 2019 has further stated that (i) market price of the Shares at a level less than HK$0.1 each will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules; and (ii) 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 last two years, the share price of the Company has been constantly below HK$0.1 and the existing board lot value has been less than HK$2,000. The proposed Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares and would bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the expected valuer per board lot. As such, it would enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under 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 costs for each securities trade.

– 8 –

LETTER FORM THE BOARD

Thus, the Board considers that the Share Consolidation would maintain the trading amount for each board lot at a reasonable level in order to attract more investors and to extend the shareholder base of the Company. It is also hoped that the Share Consolidation will make investing in the Shares more attractive to a broader range of investors, in particular to institutional investors whose house rules might otherwise prohibit or restrict trading in securities that are priced below a prescribed floor, 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.

The Board believes that the Share Consolidation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group nor result in change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any agreement, arrangement, understanding, intention, or negotiation (either concluded or in process) on any potential fundraising activities which will involve issue of equity securities of the Company. However, the Company cannot rule out the possibility that it 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 also currently has no plan or intention to carry out any future corporate actions in the next twelve months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Consolidation.

Exchange of share certificates

Subject to the Share Consolidation having become effective, Shareholders may during the specified period submit share certificates for Shares to the Company’s share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, in exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares. Thereafter, certificates for Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may be allowed by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each share certificate for Shares cancelled or each new share certificate issued for Consolidated Shares, whichever number of certificates cancelled/issued is higher. The existing share certificates will only be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes for the period up to 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, 5 May 2020 and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. However, the existing share certificates will continue to be good evidence of title to the Consolidated Shares on the basis of ten (10) Shares for one (1) Consolidated Share.

The new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be issued in red colour in order to distinguish them from the share certificates for the existing Shares which are in green colour.

– 9 –

LETTER FORM THE BOARD

Application for listing of the Consolidated Shares

Application has been made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation become effective.

Subject to the granting of the approval of 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, upon the Share Consolidation being effective, 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, under contingent situation, 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 securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other 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

Currently, the Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in the board lot size of 10,000 Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain as 10,000 Consolidated Shares.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.026 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange at the Latest Practicable Date, the value for each board lot of 10,000 Shares was HK$260 and the theoretical market value for each board lot of 10,000 Consolidated Shares assuming the Share Consolidation had become effective, would be HK$2,600.

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 benefits of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Shares regardless of the number of existing share certificates held by such holder.

– 10 –

LETTER FORM THE BOARD

Odd lots arrangements 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 Cinda International Securities Limited, as an agent to provide matching services, 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. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Mr. Leung Siu Wa of Cinda International Securities Limited at 45/F, COSCO Tower, 183 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong (telephone number : (852) 2235 7801) from 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 9 April 2020 to 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, 5 May 2020.

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 lot arrangement, is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.

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.
