PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The Shares are presently traded in board lots of 6,000 Shares each. The Board proposes that upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the board lot size of the Adjusted Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange will be changed from 6,000 Shares to 20,000 Adjusted Shares.

PROPOSED OPEN OFFER WITH BONUS ISSUE

Conditional upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the Company proposes to raise not less than approximately HK$113.3 million but not more than approximately HK$118.1 million before expenses, by way of an open offer of not less than 1,132,861,635 Offer Shares and not more than 1,180,639,635 Offer Shares at the Subscription Price of HK$0.10 per Offer Share on the basis of three (3) Offer Shares for every one (1) Adjusted Share held on the Record Date and payable in full on acceptance.

Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions of the Open Offer, the Bonus Shares will be issued to the first registered holders of the Offer Shares on the basis of two (2) Bonus Shares for every three (3) Offer Shares taken up under the Open Offer. On the basis of not less than 1,132,861,635 Offer Shares and not more than 1,180,639,635 Offer Shares to be issued under the Open Offer, not less than 755,241,089 Bonus Shares and not more than 787,093,090 Bonus Shares will be issued.

As at the date of this announcement, there is no controlling Shareholder. Accordingly, Mr. Tang, an executive Director, Accord Power and their respective associates, who in aggregate held approximately 10.65% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement will abstain from voting in favour of the resolutions relating to the Open Offer and the Bouns Issue at the SGM.

  • 2 -

The Company will establish an independent board committee to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue are fair and reasonable and whether the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and to advise the Independent Shareholders on how to vote, taking into account the recommendations of the independent financial adviser. In this connection, the Company will appoint an independent financial adviser to advise the independent board committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue are fair and reasonable.

The Capital Reorganisation, the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue are subject to, among other things, the approval of the Shareholders or the Independent Shareholders at the SGM. A circular containing, among other things, further details of the Capital Reorganisation, the Open Offer, the Bonus Issue and a notice convening the SGM will be despatched by the Company to the Shareholders as soon as practicable in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Upon passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the Shareholders (where applicable, the Independent Shareholders) at the SGM approving the Capital Reorganisation, the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue, and the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the Prospectus Documents setting out details of the Open Offer will be despatched to the Qualifying Shareholders as soon as practicable whereas the Prospectus will be despatched to the Excluded Shareholders for information only.

SUSPENSION AND RESUMPTION OF TRADING

At the request of the Company, trading in Shares on the Stock Exchange has been suspended from 9:30 a.m. on 11 February 2009 pending the release of this announcement. Application has been made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the resumption of trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange with effect from 9:30 a.m. on 16 February 2009.

PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The Company intends to put forward a proposal to the Shareholders to effect the Capital Reorganisation which involves:

  • (i) the consolidation of every 25 issued Shares of HK$0.005 each into 1 issued Consolidated Share of HK$0.125 each and the consolidation of every 2 authorised but unissued Shares of HK$0.005 each into 1 authorised but unissued Adjusted Share of HK$0.01 each;

  • (ii) a reduction of issued share capital whereby the par value of each issued Consolidated Share will be reduced from HK$0.125 to HK$0.01 by canceling HK$0.115 of the paid-up capital on each issued Consolidated Share; and

  • (iii) the credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company and the Directors will be authorised to apply the amount in the contributed surplus account in any manner permitted by the laws of Bermuda and the Bye-laws.

  • 3 -

Effects of the Capital Reorganisation

As at the date of this announcement, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$200,000,000 divided into 40,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.005 each, of which 9,440,513,640 Shares have been issued and are fully paid. Assuming that no further Shares are issued or repurchased between the date of this announcement and the date of the SGM, immediately upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$200,000,000 divided into 20,000,000,000 Adjusted Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 377,620,545.6 Adjusted Shares will be in issue.

Based on 9,440,513,640 Shares in issue as at the date of this announcement, a credit of approximately HK$43,426,362 will arise as a result of the Capital Reorganisation and will be transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company. The Board currently has no plan as to the use of such amount.

The Adjusted Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other. Fractional Adjusted Shares will not be issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional entitlements of the Adjusted Shares will be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company.

Other than the relevant expenses incurred, the implementation of the Capital Reorganisation will have no effect on the consolidated net asset value of the Group, nor will it alter the underlying assets, business, operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors believe that the Capital Reorganisation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group and that on the date the Capital Reorganisation is to be effected, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Capital Reorganisation would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due. The Capital Reorganisation will not involve any diminution of any liability in respect of any unpaid capital of the Company or the repayment to the Shareholders of any unpaid capital of the Company nor will it result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

Reasons for the Capital Reorganisation

The Board considers that the Capital Reorganisation will give greater flexibility to the Company to raise funds through the issue of new Adjusted Shares in the future and the credit in the contributed surplus account arising from the Capital Reduction may be applied in the future for distribution to the Shareholders or in any manner permitted by the laws of Bermuda and the Bye-laws as and when the Board considers appropriate. As such, the Board is of the view that the Capital Reorganisation is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  • 4 -

Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation

The Capital Reorganisation (which will be effected in accordance with the Bye-Laws and the Companies Act) is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of the necessary resolution(s) by the Shareholders to approve, among other things, the Capital Reorganisation at the SGM to be convened by the Company;

  • (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares in issue arising from the Capital Reorganisation; and

  • (iii) the compliance with the requirements of section 46(2) of the Companies Act, including (i) publication of a notice in relation to the Capital Reduction in an appointed newspaper in Bermuda on a date not more than thirty days and not less than fifteen days before the date on which the Capital Reduction is to take effect and (ii) that on the date of the Capital Reduction is to be effected, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Capital Reduction, would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.

Assuming the above conditions are fulfilled, it is expected that the Capital Reorganisation will become effective on the business day immediately after the date of passing of the relevant resolution(s) approving the Capital Reorganisation. Subject to the passing of the requisite resolution(s) at the SGM approving the Capital Reduction and the Share Consolidation and completion of the necessary filings in Bermuda, the Capital Reorganisation will comply with the laws of Bermuda.

Listing and dealings

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation.

The Adjusted Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu in all respects with each other as to all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Adjusted 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 Adjusted Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as 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.

Free exchange of Share certificates

Subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, Shareholders may submit certificates for the existing Shares, to the Company’s branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, of 26/F., Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong for exchange from Tuesday, 31 March 2009 to Tuesday, 12 May 2009 (both dates inclusive), at the expense of the

  • 5 -

Company for certificates of the Adjusted Shares. Thereafter, certificates for the existing Shares 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 allowed by the Stock Exchange) for each share certificate of the existing Shares cancelled or each new share certificate issued for the Adjusted Shares, whichever number of certificates cancelled/ issued is higher. The existing certificates will be valid for trading and settlement up to 4:10 p.m. on Thursday, 7 May 2009, being the latest time for trading in board lot of 240 Adjusted Shares in the form of existing certificates (or such other date which will be announced by the Company) and will continue to be good evidence of legal title after the Capital Reorganisation has become effective and may be exchanged for certificates of the Adjusted Shares at any time in accordance with the foregoing.

PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The Shares are presently traded in board lots of 6,000 Shares each. The Board proposes that upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the board lot size of the Adjusted Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange will be changed from 6,000 Shares to 20,000 Adjusted Shares.

The reason for the change in board lot size is to increase the value of each board lot of the Adjusted Shares to ensure that the market value per board lot after the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue would be more than HK$2,000 and to reduce transaction and registration costs of the Shareholders and investors of the Company. Accordingly, the Board considers the change in board lot size to be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

PROPOSED OPEN OFFER AND BONUS ISSUE

The Open Offer and Bonus Issue is proposed to take place after the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective.

No transfer of nil-paid entitlements and no application for excess Offer Shares

The invitation to subscribe for the Offer Shares to be made to the Qualifying Shareholders will not be transferable. There will not be any trading in nil-paid entitlements on the Stock Exchange.

After arm’s length negotiation with the Underwriters, the Company decided that the Qualifying Shareholders will not be entitled to subscribe for any Offer Shares in excess of their respective assured entitlements. Having considered that each Qualifying Shareholder will be given equal and fair opportunities to participate in the Company’s future development by subscribing for his/her/its assured entitlements under the Open Offer, the Company decided not to put in additional effort and costs to administer the excess application procedures. Any Offer Shares (with Bonus Shares) not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders (exclude those to be taken up by Mr. Tang, Accord Power and their respective associates pursuant to the Irrevocable Undertaking) will be underwritten by the Underwriters. In the view that the related administration costs would be lowered, the Directors consider that the absence of application for excess Offer Shares is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.1 per Offer Share, payable in full on application. The Subscription Price represents:

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 33.33% to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of HK$0.15 per Adjusted Share after the Open Offer and Bonus Issue, based on the closing price of HK$0.024 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Captial Reorganisation; and

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 97.36% to the unaudited net asset value per Adjusted Share of approximately HK$3.78 as at 30 September 2008 and adjusted for the Capital Reorganisation.

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters with reference to the market price of the Shares and the prevailing market conditions. The Directors consider that the discount would encourage Shareholders to participate in the Open Offer and accordingly maintain their shareholdings in the Company and participate in the future growth of the Group. In view of the prevailing market conditions of the capital market in Hong Kong and the benefits of the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

REASONS FOR THE OPEN OFFER AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in development and management of agricultural by-products wholesaling business in the PRC and Hong Kong, property investment, property development, management and sublicensing of wet markets in the PRC and Hong Kong, management and sub-licensing shopping centres in Hong Kong. It also has interests in the pharmaceutical business through its investments in Wai Yuen Tong Medicine Holdings Limited, a company listed on the main board of the Stock Exchange.

The estimated expense in relation to the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue, including financial, legal and other professional advisory fees, underwriting commission, printing and translation expenses will be borne by the Company. Having considered other fund raising alternatives for the Group, such as bank borrowings and placing of new Shares, and taking into account the benefits and cost of each of the alternatives, the Open Offer allows the Group to strengthen its balance sheet without facing the increasing interest rates. The Board considers that the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole as they offer all the Qualifying Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate in the enlargement of the capital base of the Company and enables the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their proportionate interests in the Company and continue to participate in the future development of the Company should they wish to do so. In addition, the Bonus Issue will be as additional incentive for the Shareholders to take part in the Open Offer. However, those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Offer Shares to which they are entitled should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole having taken into account the terms of the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue.

The gross proceeds from the Open Offer will be not less than approximately HK$113.3 million but not more than approximately HK$118.1 million. The estimated net proceeds from the Open Offer will be not less than approximately HK$108.2 million but not more than approximately HK$112.9 million and are intended to be used for acquisition of potential investment and/or general working capital.

POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENT TO THE SHARE OPTIONS

The Capital Reorganisation, the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue may lead to adjustments to the exercise price and/or the number of Shares or Adjusted Shares (as the case may be) to be issued upon exercise of the Share Options. The Company will notify the holders of Share Options regarding adjustments to be made (if any) pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme.

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN THE SHARES

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue are conditional upon, among other things, the Underwriting Agreement having become unconditional and the Underwriters not having terminated the Underwriting Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (a summary of which is set out in the sub-paragraph headed “Termination of the Underwriting Agreement” above). Accordingly, the Open Offer and the Bonus Issue may or may not proceed.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise extreme caution when dealing in the Shares or the Adjusted Shares, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
