Notes:

  • (1) The calculation of the total number of CB Conversion Shares is based on the CB Conversion Price of HK$0.0672 per CB Conversion Share.

  • (2) Given that the Public Shares Subscribers are not connected persons to the Offeror, their subscription of the Ordinary Subscription Shares and Preferred Shares are not financed by any connected persons of the Company and they will not become connected persons of the Company as a result of the Subscription or after full conversion of the Preferred Shares/Convertible Note, the interests of the Public Shares Subscribers in the Company upon the Subscription Completion and/or conversion of the Preferred Shares/ Convertible Note shall form part of the Company’s public shareholding. The Public Shares Subscribers are parties acting in concert with the Offeror as the Public Shares Subscribers were introduced by the Offeror and the terms of the Subscription Agreement were negotiated between the Company and the Offeror (for itself and on behalf of the other Subscribers) and all the Subscribers entered into the Subscription Agreement (being one single agreement) together with the Company.

  • (3) Aquarius Investment is held as to 9% by Mr. Wang, who is the chief executive officer and an executive director of Titan Gas Holdings, and a director of Standard Gas and Aquarius Investment. Further, Mr. Wang holds an approximately 8.05% equity interest in Titan Gas Holdings.

  • (4) Given League Way is independent of the Offeror, its subscription of the Convertible Note is not financed by any connected persons of the Company and it will not become a connected person of the Company as a result of the CN Subscription or conversion of the Convertible Note, the interests of League Way in the Company upon the Subscription Completion and/or after conversion of the Convertible Note shall form part of the Company’s public shareholding.

  • (5) In the above shareholding table, where no conversion of the Convertible Bonds, the Convertible Note and the Preferred Shares is assumed, ‘‘Total public Shareholders’’ refers to the total shareholding interest in the Company under ‘‘The Sellers’’, ‘‘Public Shares Subscribers’’ and ‘‘Other existing Public Shareholders’’. Where conversion in full of the Convertible Bonds, the Convertible Note and the Preferred Shares is assumed, ‘‘Total public Shareholders’’ refers to the total shareholding interest in the Company under ‘‘The Sellers’’, ‘‘Public Shares Subscribers’’, ‘‘League Way’’ and ‘‘Other existing Public Shareholders’’. In addition, Seller 1 and Seller 2 (upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds) will become public Shareholders upon his resignation as Director after the close of the Offer.

  • (6) As set out in the Composite Document, Mr Mo has indicated to the Board his intention to resign as Director with effect from the Closing Date (26 August 2016), being the earliest time permitted under the Takeovers Code. Upon Mr Mo’s resignation as Director, Seller 1 and Seller 2 (upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds) will become public Shareholders. The shareholding table above therefore sets out the total public Shareholders’ shareholdings before and after Mr Mo’s resignation.
