To the Shareholders of the Company
Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED GRANT OF SPECIFIC MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the resolution to be proposed at the EGM to be held on Friday, 15 October 2010 relating to the proposed grant of a specific mandate to the Board to issue Shares pursuant to the TDR Issue.
PROPOSED GRANT OF SPECIFIC MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES
At the EGM, it will be proposed, by way of ordinary resolution, that the Directors be given a specific mandate to allot and issue not more than 1.2 billion New Shares to satisfy the allotment and issue of Shares pursuant to the TDR Issue.
– 3 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Company has an aggregate of 6,219,331,736 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date. Subject to the passing of the proposed ordinary resolution at the EGM for the approval of granting the Specific Mandate to the Directors and the granting of approval by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Specific Mandate would allow the Directors to allot and issue up to 1.2 billion Shares. This represents 19.29% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at the date of the EGM.
PROPOSED ISSUE OF TAIWAN DEPOSITARY RECEIPTS
The Company hereby announces that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company has approved the proposed offer and issue of Taiwan Depository Receipts (“ TDR ”) by the Company. The Company will engage a depositary bank for the proposed issue of TDR.
As of the Latest Practicable Date, detailed terms of the TDR, including the offer price, are still subject to finalisation. The Company intends to seek a listing of the TDR on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (the “ Proposed TDR Listing ”). The TDR Issue will be made after approvals have been obtained from the regulatory authorities in Taiwan in respect of the Proposed TDR Listing. The Company has engaged SinoPac Securities Corporation to handle the application for the Proposed TDR Listing. The approval of the Specific Mandate is required for the application for the Proposed TDR Listing which is expected to be filed with the relevant regulatory authorities in Taiwan in October 2010. The Company will make further announcement(s) when the application to the Taiwan regulatory authorities is made.
The Board is pleased to announce that the proposed offering and listing of TDR will represent not more than 1.2 billion New Shares to be issued by the Company. Each unit of TDR represents 10 to 20 Shares. The TDR Issue is also subject to approval by the Taiwan Securities and Finance Bureau, application for which will be made after the grant of approvals by the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the Taiwan Central Bank. The Company will also apply to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
It is currently proposed that the TDR will be offered in Taiwan by way of offer for subscription by the public in Taiwan and to selected institutional and individual investors in Taiwan. None of the TDR will be offered to the general public in Hong Kong nor will they be placed to any connected persons of the Group.
Details in respect of the TDR Issue, including the size and structure of the TDR Issue, the number of New Shares to be issued by the Company pursuant to the TDR Issue and the expected timetable, have not yet been finalised as at the Latest Practicable Date. A further announcement will be made by the Company upon finalisation of the structure of the TDR Issue.
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The preliminary structure of the TDR Issue is proposed as follows:
Type of securities to be issued:
TDR, to be issued by a depositary bank in Taiwan evidencing the entitlement of the holders of TDR to the Shares that are held in custody by a custodian bank.
Number of New Shares to which the TDR Issue relates:
Not more than 1.2 billion New Shares, which are expected to be allotted and issued by the Company as the underlying securities for the issuance of up to 120 million units of TDR under the Specific Mandate.
The 1.2 billion New Shares will be issued at an aggregate nominal value of HK$12 million and represent (i) approximately 19.29% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) approximately 16.17% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Company following the issue of the 1.2 billion New Shares under the TDR Issue.
The New Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue on the date of issue of the new Shares.
Number of TDR to be issued:
Not more than 170 million units of TDR, each representing 10 Shares or not more than 85 million units of TDR, each representing 20 Shares. The final number of TDR and the number of Shares underlying each TDR to be issued and offered and the structure of the TDR Issue shall be subject to the approval of the Relevant Authorities and the adjustment (if any) by the Board and the underwriters of the TDR Issue. As recommended by Sinopac Securities Corporation, the underwriter of the TDR Issue, the Company tentatively agrees to increase the offer size from the initially contemplated size (based on 1 TDR representing 10 Shares) of not more than 120 million units of TDR to up to 170 million units of TDR (comprising not more than 1.2 billion New Shares and up to 500 million Shares from Shareholders(s), if any, to be located by the underwriter of the TDR Issue).
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Basis for determining the issue price of the TDR:
- The issue price of the TDR, which will be agreed in writing between the Company and Sinopac Securities Corporation, the underwriter for the TDR Issue, is expected to be determined with reference to the then prevailing market conditions, the closing price of the Shares, the industry conditions at the time of the TDR Issue, the performance of the Company as well as conditions for future development of the Company’s business. The issue price will represent a discount of not more than 20% to the benchmarked price of the underlying Shares for the TDR Issue, such benchmarked price tentatively being the closing price of the Shares immediately before, or the average closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the three or five trading days immediately before, the relevant pricing date.
Use of proceeds:
The Board intends to apply the net proceeds from the TDR Issue in the following manner:
-
(a) as to 80% of the net proceeds for the second phase of the construction project of calcium carbide production facilities in Heihe, the People’s Republic of China, under the Group’s plan to produce calcium carbide; and
-
(b) as to 20% of the net proceeds for general working capital of the Group.
The issue price for the TDR Issue, if proceeded with, and the amount of funds to be raised from the TDR Issue have not been fixed as at the Latest Practicable Date.
Conditions:
The TDR Issue is conditional upon:
-
(a) the grant of the Specific Mandate at the EGM;
-
(b) the Listing Committee of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange granting the listing of and permission to deal in the New Shares to be issued as underlying securities for the TDR Issue; and
-
(c) the granting of all relevant approvals by the Relevant Authorities for the offering and listing of TDR.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Listing applications:
Application will be made to the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the Taiwan Central Bank for the listing of the TDR on the Taiwan Stock Exchange. Application will also be made to the Taiwan Securities and Futures Bureau for the TDR Issue after the grant of approvals thereof by the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the Taiwan Central Bank. The Company will apply to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TDR ISSUE
The Directors are of the view that the TDR Issue will be the most appropriate method of raising extra funds for the Group’s future business development having taken into account the Group’s current working capital requirement, the prevailing market conditions and the cost involved in the TDR Issue when compared with other means of fund-raising exercise.
The Directors believe that the TDR is an attractive alternative for international investors to invest and deal in the Shares, and that the TDR Issue will broaden and diversify the shareholder base of the Company and provide an additional fund-raising platform for the Group. The Directors consider that the TDR Issue is in the best interests of the Shareholders as a whole.
EFFECT ON THE SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY
Assuming that there will be no change in the shareholding structure of the Company immediately before completion of the TDR Issue, the shareholding structure of the Company as at the date of this circular and after the Completion of the TDR Issue will be as follows:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FUND-RAISING EXERCISE BY THE COMPANY IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS
The net proceeds raised by the placing of 440,000,000 existing Shares and subscription of 440,000,000 new Shares of the Company by a substantial shareholder announced on 25 February 2010 was approximately HK$84 million. As at the date of the interim results announcement dated 29 March 2010, a total of HK$74 million was utilitised by the Group as working capital of the Group.
The net proceeds raised by the placing of 440,000,000 warrants of the Company announced on 25 February 2010 to independent third parties at a warrant placing price of HK$0.005 was approximately HK$2 million. The warrant exercise price was HK$0.285. The subscription rights attaching to the warrants may be exercised at any time during a period of 12 months commencing from the date immediately after the date of issue of the warrants. As at the date of the interim results announcement dated 29 March 2010, none of the warrants were exercised and the net proceeds of approximately HK$2 million from the warrant placing were fully utilitised by the Group as working capital of the Group.
On 18 December 2009, the Company had announced to streamline the management and administration of the Company’s PVC and its related Calcium Carbide business. In order to finance the operation and expansion of such business segment of the Company, the Company had been considering a possible spin-off of its PVC and related Calcium Carbide business by way of a separate listing of such business on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and has engaged professionals to advise and assist in the possible spin-off. On 12 March 2010, the Company had submitted to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange a spin-off proposal pursuant to PN15 in relation to this proposed spin-off and the Company will provide an update as and when there is any significant further development on this matter.
Save for the abovementioned fund-raising exercises, the Company has not conducted any equity fund raising activities in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of this circular.

By a resolution of the Shareholders passed at the annual general meeting held on 17 December 2009, the Company granted a general mandate to the Directors to allot and issue up to 1,122,266,347 Shares, being 20% of the aggregate nominal amount of the share capital of the Company in issue as at 17 December 2009. The Directors exercised the power to allot and issue 440,000,000 new Shares on 9 March 2010 pursuant to the general mandate so granted, and by an agreement entered into with the placing agent in connection with the warrant placing, 440,000,000 warrant shares to be issued upon exercise of the subscription rights attaching to the warrants will be issued under the general mandate so granted.
