REASONS FOR THE ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND USE OF PROCEEDS
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.
As the Group has not incurred any significant cost on the issue of the Convertible Bonds, the net amount raised through the issue of the Convertible Bonds is approximately HK$32,000,000, and the net price of the issue is approximately HK$0.104 per Conversion Share, which will be used for settlement of previous debt owed to the Subscriber.
