The total number of 88,280,000 Subscription Shares to be allotted and issued under the Subscription represents (i) approximately 1.75% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 1.72% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the Subscription Shares (assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the date of this announcement and up to Completion other than as a result of Subscription).

All the Subscription Shares are subject to a Lock-up Period of six months from the Completion Date.

The aggregate gross proceeds of the Subscription will be approximately HK$15 million and the aggregate net proceeds of the Subscription, after deduction of expenses, are estimated to be approximately HK$14.9 million, representing a net issue price of approximately HK$0.169 per Subscription Share.
