References were made to the announcements of the Company dated September 28, 2018 and October 2, 2018 (collectively, the “ Announcements ”) in relation to, among other matters, the proposed placing of convertible bonds under General Mandate and the extension of the Completion Date. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcements.
The Board wishes to supplement that the Conversion Price and interest rate of the Placing CB have been revised to HK$0.210 per Share and 13.7% per annum (from 5.0% per annum) respectively. Details are as follow.
INTEREST RATE
The interest rate will be revised from 5.0% per annum to 13.7% per annum.
CONVERSION PRICE
The revised Conversion Price of HK$0.210 per Conversion Share represents:
-
I. equivalent to the closing price of HK$0.210 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on October 2, 2018 (being the market close price of the last trading date immediately prior to the extension of the Completion Date of the CB Placing Agreement); and
-
II. a premium of approximately 7.14% to the average closing price of HK$0.196 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including September 28, 2018.
The Conversion Price is HK$0.210 per Share. The Conversion Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Corporation and the Placing Agent with reference to the market condition and the prevailing market price of the Shares. The Directors consider that the Conversion Price is fair and reasonable.
Completion of the CB Placing
The Corporation and the Placing Agent shall use their respective best endeavor to procure the fulfilment of the conditions set out in the CB Placing Agreement on or before October 16, 2018. If the above conditions are not fulfilled by 5:00 p.m. on October 16, 2018 (or such other date as agreed between the Corporation and the Placing Agent in writing), the CB Placing Agreement shall forthwith cease and terminate and neither the Corporation nor the Placing Agent shall have any claim against each other, save for any antecedent breach.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that these revised terms and conditions of the CB Placing Agreement, which were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Corporation and the Placing Agent, are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Corporation and the Shareholders as a whole.
