CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
In order to improve the liquidity of the Shares and broaden the Company’s shareholder base, the Board announces that the board lot size of the Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange will be changed from 20,000 Shares to 5,000 Shares with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 9 November 2017. The expected timetable for such change in board lot size is set out below. Shareholders of the Company may submit their existing share certificates in board lot of 20,000 Shares each to the Share Registrar in exchange for new share certificates in board lot of 5,000 Shares each free of charge during business hours from Thursday, 26 October 2017 to Friday, 1 December 2017 (both dates inclusive).
The board of directors (the “Board ”) of Vision Values Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) announces that the board lot size of the shares of HK$0.01 each in the capital of the Company (the “ Shares ”) for trading on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“ Stock Exchange ”) will be changed from 20,000 Shares to 5,000 Shares with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 9 November 2017.
Based on the closing price of HK$0.64 per share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the date of this announcement, the market value of the existing board lot of 20,000 Shares each is HK$12,800. Upon the change in board lot size becoming effective, the market value of the then board lot of 5,000 Shares each will be HK$3,200 (based on the closing price of HK$0.64 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the date of this announcement). The change in board lot size will reduce the board lot value of the Shares. The Board is of the view that the reduction in board lot size may improve the liquidity of the Shares and broaden the Company’s shareholder base. The change in board lot size will not affect any of the relative rights of the shareholders of the Company. The Board is of the opinion that the change in board lot size is in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
As no odd board lot size of the Shares will be created as a result of the aforesaid change in board lot size (other than those already existed before such change becoming effective), no odd lot arrangement to match the sales and purchase of odd lots will be made.
