  • (vi) an issue being made by the Company wholly for cash of Shares (other than pursuant to any employee share option scheme) at a price less than 80% of the market price of the Shares; and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • Subscription period : The Subscription Rights may be exercised at any time from the date of issue of the Warrants until 4:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on the third anniversary of the issue date (or, if that is not a business day, the first business day immediately following such date) (both dates inclusive), subject to earlier termination as provided in the Instrument.

The Placees

Under the Placing Agreement, the Warrants will be placed, on a best effort basis, to not less than six Placees who shall be professional, institutional or other investors and that each of the Placees to be procured by the Placing Agent and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) will be an Independent Third Party.

Basis of pricing of the Warrants

The initial Subscription Price of HK$3.15 per Warrant Share represents:

  • (i) a premium of about 27.02% over the closing price of HK$2.48 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 12 February 2014, being the date of the Placing Agreement;

  • (ii) a premium of about 33.25% over the average closing price of HK$2.364 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days up to and including the date of the Placing Agreement; and

  • (iii) a premium of approximately 28.05% over the closing price of HK$2.46 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange at the Latest Practicable Date.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The aggregate of the Issue Price of HK$0.01 per Warrant and the initial Subscription Price of HK$3.15 per Warrant is HK$3.16. This represents:

  • (i) a premium of about 27.42% over the closing price of HK$2.48 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Placing Agreement; and

  • (ii) a premium of about 33.67% over the average closing price of HK$2.364 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days up to and including the date of the Placing Agreement; and

  • (iii) a premium of approximately 28.46% over the closing price of HK$2.46 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange at the Latest Practicable Date.

When determining the Issue Price and the Subscription Price, the Company and the Placing Agent first focused on the aggregate sum of the Issue Price of HK$0.01 and the initial Subscription Price of HK$3.15 (‘‘Aggregate Price’’), being HK$3.16, which was determined with reference to the prevailing market price of the Shares and were negotiated on an arm’s length basis between the Company and the Placing Agent and was fixed at a premium to the prevailing market price of the Shares. In determining the Issue Price and the Subscription Price, the Directors have considered the following:

  • (a) the Aggregate Price represented a premium of about 143.08% over the net asset value per Share of RMB1.02 per Share (equivalent to approximately HK$1.30 per Share, based on an exchange rate of RMB1 to HK$1.27), calculated based on the then latest published unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2013 and the number of issued Shares as at 31 December 2013;

  • (b) the initial Subscription Price of HK$3.15 represented (i) a premium of about 27.02% over the closing price of HK$2.48 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 12 February 2014, being the date of the Placing Agreement; and (ii) a premium of about 33.25% over the average closing price of HK$2.364 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days up to and including 12 February 2014, being the date of the Placing Agreement; and

  • (c) the Warrants would not be listed on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchanges.

The Issue Price was the difference between the Aggregate Price and the initial Subscription Price only. The Directors considered that the Aggregate Price should be considered as a whole as that represented the cost that a holder of a Warrant in subscribing for one Warrant Share. Financial and/or valuation models were not adopted in determining the initial Subscription Price and the Issue Price because utilising financial and/or valuation models involve a lot of assumptions and limitations. In addition, highly subjective estimates and assumptions are required to be made in determining the parameters for applying the financial and/or valuation models, including the estimates and assumptions of the risk-free interest rate and the expected stock price volatility of the underlying shares. Changes in these

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

estimates and assumptions could have a material effect on the theoretical value of the Warrants. In particular, stock price volatility has a significant influence on the theoretical value of the Warrants.

Taking into account of the above, the Directors consider that each of the Subscription Price and the Issue Price is fair and reasonable based on the current market conditions and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Placing period

The placing period for the Placing commenced from the date of the Placing Agreement and will end on the date when the Placing Agent is notified of the fulfilment of the conditions of the Placing by the Company.

Conditions of the Placing

Completion of the Placing is conditional upon:

  • (1) the Stock Exchange approving the issue of the Warrants and granting or agreeing to grant the listing of, and permission to deal in, all the Shares falling to be issued on the exercise of the Subscription Rights (whether or not subject to any conditions) either unconditionally or subject to conditions to which the Placing Agent (acting reasonably) accepts; and

  • (2) the passing of resolution(s) by the Shareholders to approve the issue of the Warrants and the grant of the Specific Mandate at the EGM.

If the above conditions are not fulfilled by 5:00 p.m. on 30 April 2014 (‘‘Long Stop Date’’) (Hong Kong time), the Placing Agreement will terminate and the Placing will not proceed and neither the Company and the Placing Agent shall have any claim against the other in respect of any matter or thing arising out of or in connection with the Placing Agreement save for any antecedent breach of any obligation under this Agreement and in connection with any and all rights and obligations accrued prior to such termination.

In the event that the Long Stop Date is to be extended by the parties to the Placing Agreement, the Placing would have to be treated as a new placing and a separate general meeting of the Company will have to be convened to approve the issue of the Warrants and the grant of the Specific Mandate.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions had been fulfilled.

Completion

The Warrants will be created and issued to the Placees on the fifth business day after the day on which the Placing Agent is notified by the Company about the fulfillment of the above conditions.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Placing fee

The Placing Agent will receive a placing fee in the sum of HK$300,000, which is arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties to the Placing Agreement. The Directors are of the view that the placing fee is fair and reasonable based on the current market conditions and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

MANDATE TO ALLOT AND ISSUE THE SHARES

The Warrant Shares will be issued under the Specific Mandate to be sought at the EGM.

APPLICATION FOR LISTING

No listing of the Warrants will be sought on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchanges. Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing or, and permission to deal in, the Warrant Shares to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the Subscription Rights.

REASONS FOR THE PLACING AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is mainly engaged in the manufacture and sales of radio frequency coaxial cable series and related products for mobile telecommunications and telecommunications equipment.

The issue of the Warrants offers the Company an opportunity to issue new Shares at a premium to the prevailing market price of the Shares to raise further fund when the Subscription Rights are exercised. The Directors consider that the Placing is an appropriate means of raising further capital for the Company because: (a) it would not have any immediate dilution effect on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders until the Subscription Rights are exercised; (b) the transaction cost for placing of Warrants would be minimal which can be fully covered by the gross proceeds from the issue of Warrants; (c) the placing of Warrants would provide an opportunity to the Group to issue new shares at a premium to the prevailing market price of the Shares; and (d) the Warrants are not interest-bearing and the Group would not have to pay interest expense for the Warrants when compared with debt financing. In addition, apart from the net proceeds that will be raised immediately upon completion of the Placing, the Company will be provided with additional funds upon the exercise of the Subscription Rights. As such, the Board considers that the issue of Warrants is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Assuming that the maximum exercise money of HK$630,000,000 of the Warrants are placed with the Placee(s), the gross proceeds and the net proceeds derived from the issue of the Warrants, which are estimated to be HK$2.0 million and approximately HK$1.5 million, are intended to be used by the Company as general working capital of the Group.

The Company will receive an additional amount of HK$630,000,000 upon exercise in full of the Subscription Rights at the initial Subscription Price (assuming that the maximum aggregate amount of the Warrants have been issued by the Company). The Company intends to use such proceeds as to approximately HK$500 million for repayment of debts and as to

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

approximately HK$130 million as general working capital, which is mainly for procurement and purchase of raw materials for the manufacturing of radio frequency coaxial cable series and related products for mobile telecommunications and telecommunications equipment, the manufacture and sale of which are the principal business of the Group.

It is the long term goal of the Company to support its operation by internally generated cash flow and reduce the Group’s reliance on bank borrowings of the Group. The exercise of the Subscription Rights and the funds raised therefrom will be in the form of equity and can enable the Group to achieve such goal and to issue new Shares at a premium to the prevailing market price. However, as the exercise of the Subscription Rights is at the discretion of the holders of the Warrants, in case where none of the Subscription Rights is exercised, the Group will continue to finance the operation of the Group through a combination of internally generated cash flows and bank borrowings.

The net price of each Warrant Share to be issued upon the exercise of the Warrants, taking into account of the Issue Price after deducting the expenses and based on the full exercise of the Warrants, will be approximately HK$3.1575. The Directors consider that the terms of the Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable based on the current market conditions and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

EFFECT OF SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE

The existing shareholding structure of the Company and the shareholding structure of the Company immediately after the exercise in full of the Subscription Rights (assuming 200,000,000 Warrants Shares have been allotted and issued at the initial Subscription Price and other than the issue of the Warrant Shares, the issued share capital of the Company has not been changed) are as follows:
