WARNING OF THE RISK OF DEALINGS IN THE SHARES

Shareholders and potential investors should note that the Placing is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent as set out in the section headed ‘‘Conditions of the Placing’’ and the Placing Agent not having terminated the Placing Agreement in accordance with the terms thereunder. Accordingly, the Placing may or may not proceed.

Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise extreme caution when dealings in the Shares.

On 15 August 2014 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Company and the Placing Agent entered into the Placing Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to place, through the Placing Agent on a best effort basis, 2,620,000 Placing Shares to currently expected not less than six Placees at a price of HK$3.15 per Placing Share.

THE PLACING AGREEMENT

Date: 15 August 2014

Parties

The Company and the Placing Agent

Placing Agent

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquires, the Placing Agent and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and its connected person(s) (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules). As at the date of this announcement, the Placing Agent is interested in 96 Shares.

Placees

The Placing Shares will be placed to currently expected not less than six Placees which are independent professional, institutional or other investors who and whose ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of and not connected with any directors, chief executive or substantial shareholder(s) of the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their respective associates.

It is not expected that any Placees will become substantial shareholder of the Company immediately after completion of the Placing. If any of the Placees becomes a substantial shareholder of the Company after the completion of the Placing, further announcement will be made by the Company.

Placing Price

The Placing Price of HK$3.15 represents:

  • (a) a discount of approximately 15.55% to the closing price of HK$3.73 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and

  • (b) a discount of approximately 19.81% to the average closing price of approximately HK$3.928 per Share in the last five consecutive trading days prior to the Last Trading Day.

– 2 –

The Placing Price was agreed after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent, with reference to, among other things, the recent trading price of the Shares and the performance of the Shares and the attractiveness to the potential investors. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Placing are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and the Placing is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The net price for each Placing Share will be approximately HK$3.00.

Number of the Placing Shares

Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, up to 2,620,000 Placing Shares will be placed by the Placing Agent. The 2,620,000 Placing Shares represent (a) approximately 4.58% of the issued share capital of the Company of 57,183,000 Shares as at the date of the Placing Agreement and the date of this announcement; and (b) approximately 4.38% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the 2,620,000 Placing Shares.

The aggregate nominal value of the Placing Shares will be HK$262,000.00.

Ranking of the Placing Shares

The Placing Shares, when allotted, issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Placing Shares.

General mandate to allot and issue of the Placing Shares

The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to a general mandate (the ‘‘General Mandate’’) granted to the Directors by resolution of the Shareholders passed at the annual general meeting (the ‘‘AGM’’) of the Company held on 8 November 2013, subject to the limit up to 20% of the then issued share capital of the Company of 1,312,200,000 shares of HK$0.1 each (the ‘‘Pre-consolidated Shares’’) as at the date of passing the relevant resolution at the AGM. Immediately after the capital reorganisation which involved the capital reduction of the Pre-consolidated Shares and consolidation of every one hundred Pre-consolidated Shares into one Share became effective on 13 May 2014, the issued share capital of the Company changed from 1,312,200,000 Pre-consolidated Shares to 13,122,000 Shares.

After the AGM, 44,061,000 new Shares were allotted and issued, of which (i) 19,061,000 Shares were allotted and issued pursuant to the open offer (the ‘‘Open Offer’’) of the Company proposed on 25 June 2014; and (ii) 25,000,000 Shares were allotted and issued to New Cove, the holder of the convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$40,000,000 issued by the Company, upon conversion of HK$25,000,000 of the convertible bonds (the ‘‘Conversion’’). Upon completion of the Open Offer and the Conversion, the issued share capital of the Company increased from 13,122,000 Shares to 57,183,000 Shares.

Up to the date of this announcement, no new Shares have been allotted and issued under the General Mandate and the Directors are allowed to allot and issue up to 2,624,400 new Shares.

Accordingly, the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares is not subject to the Shareholders’ approval.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PLACING AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in the development, distribution and marketing of personal care treatment and beauty products and provision of consultancy services.

As at the date of this announcement, the Group has the borrowings in an aggregate sum of approximately HK$8.4 million, comprising (i) the borrowing from Hong Kong Builder Finance Limited, a licensed money lender in Hong Kong and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Eternity, as lender, of approximately HK$7.54 million carrying 5% interest rate per annum; and (ii) the borrowing from Dr. Lo Shing Kei, an independent third party of the Group of approximately HK$0.86 million of which is non-interesting bearing. On the basis that all of the 2,620,000 Placing Shares are placed in full, the gross proceeds and the net proceeds after deducting relevant expenses from the Placing will be approximately HK$8.25 million and approximately HK$7.86 million respectively. The Board intends to apply approximately HK$7.54 million and approximately HK$0.32 million of the net proceeds of the Placing for the repayment of all the outstanding loan indebted of approximately HK$7.54 million to Hong Kong Builders Finance Limited and general working capital of the Group respectively.

The Directors are of the view that the Placing represents an opportunity to reduce the interest burden of the outstanding borrowing of the Group. Accordingly, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the Placing and the terms of the Placing Agreement (including the Placing Price) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
