REASONS FOR THE ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the issue of Convertible Bonds of approximately HK$40 million will be used for repayment of debts and/or as general working capital of the Group.
The Directors consider that the raising of funds by the issue of Convertible Bonds is justifiable taking into account the recent market conditions which represent an opportunity for the Group to strengthen its capital base and financial position. The Directors consider that the issue of Convertible Bonds is an appropriate means of raising additional capital of the Company since it will not have an immediate dilution effect on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders.
The Conversion Price was agreed upon based on the recent closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement, which were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber, are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
EXISTING CONVERTIBLE BONDS
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 6 February 2013 in relation to, among other matters, the issue of convertible bonds in the principal amount of HK$32,000,000 by the Company to One Express Group Limited (‘‘One Express Convertible Bonds’’). As at the date of this announcement, there were outstanding One Express Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$32,000,000 which upon full exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the One Express Convertible Bonds pursuant to the terms thereof, the Company may have to issue up to 320,000,000 new Shares, representing approximately 9.36% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement.
