PLACING OF NEW SHARES UNDER GENERAL MANDATE

On 23 November 2016, after trading hours, the Company entered into the Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent pursuant to which the Company has appointed the Placing Agent, and the Placing Agent has conditionally agreed to procure, on a best effort basis, the placing of up to 35,416,666 Placing Shares to the Placee at the Placing Price of HK$4.80 per Placing Share.

The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued under the General Mandate granted to the Directors at the annual general meeting of the Company held on 12 May 2016. As at the date of this announcement, no Shares have been allotted and issued pursuant to the General Mandate. Assuming that there will be no change in the total number of Shares in issue between the date of this announcement and the completion of the Placing, the maximum number of 35,416,666 Placing Shares represents approximately (i) 8.44% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the date of this announcement i.e. 419,803,000 Shares; and (ii) 7.78% of the total number of Shares in issue as enlarged by the issue of the Placing Shares i.e. 455,219,666 Shares. The aggregate nominal value of the Placing Shares under the Placing will be approximately HK$3,541,667. Since the Placing Shares will be allotted and issued under the General Mandate, the issue of the Placing Shares is not subject to further Shareholders’ approval.

— 1 —

The Placing Price of HK$4.80 per Placing Share represents: (i) a discount of approximately 4.00% to the closing price of HK$5.00 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and (ii) a discount of approximately 3.23% to the average closing price of approximately HK$4.96 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day.

The maximum gross proceeds and net proceeds from the Placing will be approximately HK$170 million and HK$167.7 million respectively. The net proceeds raised per Placing Shares upon Completion will be approximately HK$4.74 per Placing Share. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Placing (i) as to approximately HK$46.30 million to settle the shareholders’ loan due by Engineering Services Inc., a Canadian company being acquired by the Group, after the completion of the proposed acquisition (please refer to the Company’s announcement dated 23 November 2016 for more details); and (ii) as to approximately HK$121.40 million as general working capital of the Group.

Since the completion of the Placing is subject to fulfillment of the condition under the Placing Agreement, the Placing may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
