PREVIOUS ACQUISITION OF WYT SHARES ON THE OPEN MARKET BY THE VENDOR
During the period from 1 December 2011 to 19 December 2011, the Vendor has acquired an aggregate of 72,740,000 WYT Shares on the open market at a total consideration of approximately HK$9.5 million (the “ Previous Acquisitions ”).
Save as disclosed herein, Wang On has not conducted any other acquisition/disposal of WYT Shares in the past twelve months before the date of this joint announcement.
The applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) of each of the Previous Acquisitions are less than 5%, and therefore the Previous Acquisitions did not constitute any notifiable transactions for Wang On.
REASONS FOR THE TOP-UP SUBSCRIPTION AND THE NEW ISSUE PLACING FOR WYT AND USE OF PROCEEDS BY WYT
The directors of WYT consider the Top-up Subscription and the New Issue Placing represents an opportunity for WYT to raise capital while broadening its shareholder base as well as its capital base.
– 10 –
The aggregate gross and net proceeds from the Top-up Subscription and the New Issue Placing will be approximately HK$50.9 million and approximately HK$49.0 million, respectively. The net proceeds raised per WYT Share upon completion of the Top-up Subscription and the New Issue Placing will be approximately HK$0.12 per WYT Share. WYT intends to utilise as to approximately HK$25.0 million of the net proceeds from the Top-up Subscription and the New Issue Placing for the expansion of its production facilities and the remaining balance of approximately HK$24.0 million as general working capital of the WYT Group.
REASONS FOR THE TOP-UP PLACING AND THE TOP-UP SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE WANG ON GROUP
The directors of Wang On consider that the Top-up Placing will facilitate the raising of funds by WYT of which Wang On (through the Vendor) is a substantial shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) whereas the Top-up Subscription will enable Wang On to restore its investment in WYT in terms of the number of WYT Shares held to the same level immediately prior to the Top-up Placing. The directors of Wang On (including the independent non-executive directors of Wang On) are of the view that the terms of the Top-up Placing and Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and the Top-up Placing and the Top-up Subscription are in the interests of Wang On and its shareholders as a whole.
