Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED SHARE SUBDIVISION, PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Company’s announcement dated 23 June 2015 in which it was announced that, amongst other things, the Board proposed to (i) subdivide each of the existing issued and unissued Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company into four (4) Subdivided Shares of HK$0.0025 each; and (ii) change the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange from 4,000 Shares to 8,000 Subdivided Shares after and conditional upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective.

– 5 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the relevant information regarding the Share Subdivision and the Change in Board Lot Size and to give you notice of the EGM to be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the Share Subdivision.

PROPOSED SHARE SUBDIVISION

The Board proposes that each of the existing issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company will be subdivided into four (4) Subdivided Shares of HK$0.0025 each. The Share Subdivision will become effective upon the fulfillment of the conditions set out under section headed ‘‘Conditions of Share Subdivision’’ below.

Conditions of Share Subdivision

The Share Subdivision is conditional upon (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the EGM approving the Share Subdivision; and (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares and the Subdivided Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants and the Options.

Assuming all the conditions are fulfilled, the Share Subdivision will become effective on the Business Day following the passing of the ordinary resolution at the EGM, which is expected to be held on 21 July 2015.

Effect of Share Subdivision

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$80,000,000 divided into 8,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 604,000,000 Shares were in issue and fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$80,000,000 divided into 32,000,000,000 Subdivided Shares of HK$0.0025 each, of which 2,416,000,000 Subdivided Shares will be in issue and fully paid or credited as fully paid, assuming that no further Shares are repurchased or issued prior to the Share Subdivision becoming effective.

Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the Subdivided Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the Share Subdivision will not result in any change in the rights of the Shareholders.

Adjustments to the Warrants

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the aggregate value of the outstanding Warrants was HK$62,310,000, carrying rights to subscribe for 67,000,000 new shares at an exercise price of HK$0.93 per Share.

As a result of the Share Subdivision, based on the relevant terms of the Warrants and upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the exercise price of the Warrants is expected to be adjusted from HK$0.93 per Share to HK$0.233 per Subdivided Share, where such adjustment will be effective from the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the date on which the Share Subdivision becomes effective.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Save for the above adjustment, all other terms and conditions of the outstanding Warrants remain unchanged. Akron Corporate Finance Limited, an independent financial adviser to the Company, has reviewed and agreed with the adjustment to the outstanding Warrants which has been disclosed above.

Accordingly, the adjustment to the exercise price of the Warrants disclosed above will result a change in the number of shares of the Company falling to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants from 67,000,000 Shares to 267,424,892 Subdivided Shares.

Save as the Share Option Scheme, the Company had not adopted any other share option scheme as at the Latest Practicable Date. No Option had been granted by the Company under the Share Option Scheme since its adoption to the Latest Practicable Date. Save as disclosed above, the Company had no other outstanding share options, warrants or convertible securities to subscribe for any Share as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Exchange of share certificates

Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the Shareholders may, during the period from 22 July 2015 to 27 August 2015 (both dates inclusive), submit their Existing Share Certificate(s) to the Company’s branch share registrar, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, in exchange for the New Share Certificate(s) free of charge. Thereafter, Existing Share Certificate(s) will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) for each New Share Certificate issued or each Existing Share Certificate submitted for cancellation, whichever the number of certificates issued or cancelled is higher. It is expected that New Share Certificate(s) will be available for collection within 10 (ten) Business Days after the submission of the Existing Share Certificate(s) for exchange. Existing Share Certificate(s) will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for New Share Certificate(s) at any time at the expense of the Shareholders. The New Share Certificate(s) will be green in colour so as to be distinguished from the Existing Share Certificate(s) which are brown in colour.

PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Shares were traded in a board lot of 4,000 Shares. The Board proposes to change the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange from 4,000 Shares to 8,000 Subdivided Shares after and conditional upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective. The Change in Board Lot Size will not affect any of the relative rights of the Shareholders.

Based on the closing price of HK$3.30 per Share (equivalent to HK$0.825 per Subdivided Share) as at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each board lot of 8,000 Subdivided Shares, assuming the Share Subdivision and the Change in Board Lot Size had already become effective, would be approximately HK$6,600.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

ODD LOT ARRANGEMENT

As it is expected that no odd lot of the Shares will be created as a result of the Share Subdivision and the Change in Board Lot Size, no odd lot arrangement to match the sales and purchase of odd lots will be made.

LISTING AND DEALINGS

An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares and the Subdivided Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of the Warrants and the Options.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Subdivided Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Subdivided Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as may be determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

No part of the equity or debt securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchanges other than the Stock Exchange and no such listing or permission to deal in is being or is currently proposed to be sought on any other stock exchanges other than the Stock Exchange.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF SHARE SUBDIVISION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

Upon the proposed Share Subdivision becoming effective, the par value of each Share will decrease and the total number of Shares in issue will increase. The Share Subdivision will result in a downward adjustment to the trading price of the Shares. Based on the closing price of HK$3.30 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the market value per board lot of 4,000 Shares was HK$13,200. The estimated market value per new board lot of 8,000 Subdivided Shares will theoretically be reduced to HK$6,600 immediately upon the Share Subdivision and the Change in Board Lot Size becoming effective. The Board believes that the Share Subdivision will reduce the trading spread as well as the volatility of the trading price of the Shares and thus improving liquidity in the Subdivided Shares. The Board also considers that the proposed Change in Board Lot Size will maintain the trading value for each board lot at a reasonable level. Accordingly, the Board is of view that the Share Subdivision and the Change in Board Lot Size will enable the Company to attract more investors and broaden its Shareholders’ base.

Save for the expenses incurred by the Company in implementing the Share Subdivision and the Change in Board Lot Size, the Share Subdivision and the Change in Board Lot Size will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the Company or the proportional interests of the Shareholders. The Board considers that the Share Subdivision and the Change in Board Lot Size will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.

Accordingly, the Board considers that the implementation of the Share Subdivision and the Change in Board Lot Size are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

EGM

A notice convening the EGM to be held on 21 July 2015 at 11:30 a.m. at Rooms 1801– 02, Westlands Centre, 20 Westlands Road, Quarry Bay, Hong Kong for the purpose of considering, and if thought fit, approving the Share Subdivision and the transactions contemplated thereunder is set out on pages 11 to 12 of this circular.
