FINANCIAL ADVISER TO CAP

WARNING:

POSSIBLE REJECTION OF LISTING APPROVAL AND FAILURE OF RIGHTS ISSUE

The Rights Issue is conditional upon, among others, the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting and not having withdrawn or revoked the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares and the Rights Shares (in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms) by no later than the first day of their dealings.

– 2 –

CAP has received negative feedback from the Listing Division of the Stock Exchange. Based on information provided to it, the Listing Division is concerned with the substantial dilution of non-subscribing minority shareholders’ interests. CAP has not yet demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the Listing Division, that the terms of the Rights Issue are fair and reasonable.

The Executive is concerned whether the proposed transactions set out in this joint announcement is oppressive to the minority shareholders and contrary to the General Principles of the Takeovers Code.

CAP Board does not share the same view in respect of the above concerns from the Stock Exchange and the Executive and is currently looking into addressing the Stock Exchange and the Executive’s concerns. Shareholders and potential investors should note that, unless CAP addresses the above concerns to the satisfaction of the Stock Exchange, the Stock Exchange will not grant listing approval to deal in the Adjusted Shares and the Rights Shares and if so the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue will not proceed and will lapse.

CAPITAL REORGANISATION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOTS OF CAP

The CAP Board proposes to effect the Capital Reorganisation comprising:

  • (i) a proposed Share Consolidation whereby every five (5) CAP Shares of nominal value of HK$0.01 each in the issued share capital of CAP will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of nominal value of HK$0.05;

  • (ii) a proposed Capital Reduction whereby: (a) any fractional Consolidated Shares in the issued share capital of CAP arising from the Share Consolidation shall be cancelled; and (b) the nominal value of all the issued Consolidated Shares shall be reduced from HK$0.05 each to HK$0.01 each and the issued share capital of CAP shall be reduced by HK$0.04 per Consolidated Share in issue; and

  • (iii) applying the credit arising from the Capital Reduction to set off the accumulated losses of CAP.

As a result of the Capital Reorganisation, the board lot size of the CAP Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange will temporarily decrease from 5,000 CAP Shares to 1,000 Adjusted Shares. The CAP Board announces that the board lot size of the Adjusted Shares will be changed from 1,000 Adjusted Shares to 5,000 Adjusted Shares after the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective.

– 3 –

Please refer to Part A of this joint announcement for further details of the Capital Reorganisation and the change in board lot size.

RIGHTS ISSUE BY CAP

CAP proposes to raise gross proceeds of not less than approximately HK$1,045.1 million (assuming the conversion rights under the 2016 Placing CN are not exercised on or before the Record Date) and not more than approximately HK$1,299.9 million (assuming the conversion rights under the 2016 Placing CN are fully exercised on or before the Record Date), before expenses, by way of the Rights Issue. CAP shall allot and issue not less than 2,322,382,489 Rights Shares (assuming the conversion rights under the 2016 Placing CN are not exercised on or before the Record Date) and not more than 2,888,682,489 Rights Shares (assuming the conversion rights under the 2016 Placing CN are fully exercised on or before the Record Date) at the Subscription Price of HK$0.45 per Rights Share, on the basis of seven (7) Adjusted Shares for every one (1) Adjusted Share held on the Record Date.

An application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Rights Shares (in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms).

Please refer to Part B of this joint announcement for further details of the Rights Issue.

IRREVOCABLE UNDERTAKING TO SUBSCRIBE FOR RIGHTS SHARES BY ONGER INVESTMENTS

As at the date of this joint announcement, EOG, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Onger Investments, is interested in 334,616,677 CAP Shares, representing approximately 20.17% of the total issued CAP Shares. On 4 July 2017, Onger Investments has granted the Irrevocable Undertaking in favour of CAP under which it agreed to, among other things, subscribe, or procure its associates to subscribe, for up to a total of 555,463,345 Rights Shares, of which 468,463,345 Rights Shares comprise the full acceptance of its provisional entitlements and 87,000,000 Rights Shares comprise its subscription of additional Rights Shares by way of excess application.

UNDERWRITING OF THE PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE BY THE WYT UNDERWRITER

The Underwriting Agreement

On 4 July 2017, the WYT Underwriter, WYT, Kingston and CAP entered into the Underwriting Agreement pursuant to which the Underwriters agreed to fully underwrite the proposed Rights Issue in the following manner:

  • (i) the WYT Underwriter has agreed to underwrite in total up to 860,000,000 Rights Shares; and

Each of the Underwriters will receive a commission fee of 2.5% of the aggregate Subscription Price in respect of their respective maximum number of Underwritten Shares agreed to be underwritten by each of them.

The Underwriting Agreement may be terminated by any of the Underwriters prior to the Latest Time For Termination upon the occurrence of certain events.

ISSUE, PLACING AND SUBSCRIPTION OF CONVERTIBLE NOTES UNDER SPECIFIC MANDATE

On 4 July 2017, CAP entered into the Notes Placing Agreement with Kingston, pursuant to which CAP has appointed Kingston for the purpose of procuring, as an agent of CAP, on a best efforts basis, Notes Placees to subscribe for the Placing Convertible Notes in a maximum aggregate principal amount of HK$260 million. Based on the Conversion Price of HK$0.58 per Conversion Share (subject to adjustments), 448,275,862 Placing Conversion Shares will be allotted and issued upon exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Placing Convertible Notes in full.

Notes:

Kingston, as one of the Underwriters, shall use its best endeavours to ensure CAP shall maintain and/or meet the public float requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules immediately after completion of the Rights Issue. No conversion rights may be exercised by the Notes Holders unless immediately after exercise of such conversion rights, CAP will be able to comply with the public float requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.

  • ^ None of the directors of CAP, WOG, EOG and WYT holds any CAP Shares as at the date of this joint announcement.

  • ^ None of the directors of CAP, WOG, EOG and WYT holds any CAP Shares as at the date of this joint announcement.

The tables above are for illustration purposes only and are not intended to be exhaustive. As CAP has no control over, among other things, whether the Placing Agent will be successful in placing the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Placing Convertible Notes proposed to be issued and whether the Specific Mandate described in the section headed “5. Specific Mandate for Convertible Notes” in Part C of this joint announcement will be obtained at the CAP SGM, there are a significant number of other possible scenarios (including where only a partial conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or the 2016 Placing CN have taken place), an exhaustive list of which is beyond the scope of this joint announcement.

– 8 –

USE OF PROCEEDS AND THE SPECIAL DEAL

The aggregate net proceeds of not less than HK$1,403.8 million and not more than HK$1,658.7 million raised from the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue will be used for, among others, repayment of outstanding indebtedness and general working capital of the CAP Group.

The repayment by CAP of indebtedness owed to the EOG Group and the arrangement for the payment for the EOG Transactions to be off-set by the outstanding indebtedness owed by CAP to the EOG Group under the Bonds and the 2016 EOG CN constitutes a “special deal” under Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code and will be conditional upon obtaining the consent of the Executive under Note 5 to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code. The Executive will normally consent to the Special Deal provided that: (i) the Independent Financial Adviser publicly states in its opinion that the Special Deal is an arm’s length transaction on normal commercial terms and that its terms are fair and reasonable, and (ii) it is approved by the CAP Independent Shareholders at the CAP SGM by way of poll. An application will be made to the Executive for its consent to the Special Deal pursuant to Note 5 to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code.

Please refer to the section headed “2. Use of proceeds by CAP” in Part D of this joint announcement for further details.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE BONDS

References are made to (i) the joint announcements issued by CAP, WOG, WYT and EOG dated 4 October 2014 and 28 November 2014 in respect of, among other things, the subscription of the Bonds issued by CAP by Winning Rich (an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of WYT (a listed 51.32%-owned subsidiary of WOG)) and Double Leads (an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of WOG); (ii) the joint announcement issued by WOG and WYT dated 8 July 2016 in respect of, among other things, the acquisition of the Bonds by Winning Rich from Double Leads; and (iii) the joint announcement issued by WOG, WYT and CAP dated 29 May 2017 in respect of the extension of the payment date for the Outstanding Interests.

On 4 July 2017, CAP entered into the Amendment Agreements with each of the holders of the Bonds, (being Double Leads, Winning Rich and Peony Finance) pursuant to which the holders of the Bonds conditionally agreed that (i) the interest rate of the Bonds shall be changed from 10% to 7.5%; and (ii) the interest payment date under the Bonds shall be further extended from 31 August 2017 to 30 November 2017 in consideration for an interest calculated at the rate of 12% per annum which shall be payable on the Outstanding Interests for such extension period and the proposed use of the net proceeds from the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue to repay the Outstanding Interests and/or redemption of the Bonds. Except for the change of interest rate and the extension of payment date, all other terms and conditions of the Bonds remain unchanged. The terms of the Amendment Agreements were arrived between the parties after arm’s length negotiation.

– 9 –

In light of the proposed Rights Issue and the Notes Issue and the intended use of net proceeds by CAP to repay the Outstanding Interests and/or redemption of the Bonds, the EOG Directors, the WOG Directors and the WYT Directors consider that the Proposed Amendments are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the EOG Shareholders, the WOG Shareholders and the WYT Shareholders (as the case may be) as a whole.

The Executive is considering whether there are any Rule 25 implications in the proposed amendments to the terms and conditions of the Bonds.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Rights Issue by CAP

As the Rights Issue will result in an increase in the number of issued Adjusted Shares by more than 50%, the Rights Issue is subject to, among other things, the approval by the CAP Independent Shareholders at the CAP SGM.

Connected transactions for CAP

As at the date of this joint announcement, Mr. Yau Yuk Shing, being a CAP Director, is a brother-in-law of Mr. Tang, who controls more than 50% of the total issued share capital of WOG. Key High is an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of WYT (a listed 51.32%-owned subsidiary of WOG). Therefore, Key High is an associate of Mr. Yau Yuk Shing, and thus a connected person of CAP under the Listing Rules.

Underwriting Agreement

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, CAP shall pay to Key High a commission fee of 2.5% of the aggregate Subscription Price in respect of its maximum number of Underwritten Shares agreed to be underwritten by it. The proposed payment of the commission fee from CAP to Key High constitutes a connected transaction. As the terms of the payment of a commission fee are on normal commercial terms and all applicable percentage ratios are less than 5% but higher than 0.1%, the payment of the commission fee to the WYT Underwriter by CAP is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements only, but exempt from the independent shareholders’ approval requirement under Rule 14A.76(2) of the Listing Rules.

– 10 –

The WYT Note Subscription Agreement

The WYT Note Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder also constitute a connected transaction on the part of CAP under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. WOG and its associates are required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution to approve, among other things, the WYT Note Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the CAP SGM.

Independent Board Committee

CAP has established the Independent Board Committee to advise the CAP Independent Shareholders as to, among others, (i) whether each of the Rights Issue (including the Underwriting Agreement), the WYT Note Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, the Special Deal and the Whitewash Waiver are fair and reasonable and in the interests of CAP and the CAP Shareholders as a whole; and (ii) voting by the CAP Independent Shareholders, taking into account the recommendation of the Independent Financial Adviser. In this regard, the Independent Financial Adviser will be appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the CAP Independent Shareholders accordingly.

Very Substantial Acquisition for EOG

The EOG Transactions constitute very substantial acquisition for EOG under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, and are therefore subject to the notification, publication and shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. The EOG SGM will be held to consider and, if thought fit, pass the relevant resolutions to approve, among other things, the EOG Transactions.

Very Substantial Acquisition for WYT

The WYT Transactions constitute very substantial acquisition for WYT under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and are therefore subject to the notification, publication and shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. The WYT SGM will be held to consider and, if thought fit, pass the relevant resolutions to approve, among other things, the WYT Transactions.

Major Transaction for WOG

The WOG Transactions constitute major transaction for WOG under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and are therefore subject to the notification, publication and shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. The WOG SGM will be held to consider and, if thought fit, pass the relevant resolutions to approve, among other things, the WOG Transactions.

– 11 –

APPLICATION FOR WHITEWASH WAIVER UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE BY WYT

The Concert Group holds in aggregate 334,616,677 CAP Shares, representing approximately 20.17% of the total issued CAP Shares. Under the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue, assuming no shareholder of CAP other than Onger Investments (taking up Rights Shares under its provisional entitlements and its excess application) takes up any Rights Shares, only Key High takes up all its underwriting Rights Shares and fully converts the WYT Convertible Note and both the Placing Convertible Notes and the 2016 Placing CN are not converted, the voting rights in CAP held by the Concert Group will increase from approximately 20.17% to not more than 59.53%.

WYT will, as a result of this acquisition of voting rights in CAP, incur an obligation to make a mandatory offer for all the Adjusted Shares other than those held or agreed to be acquired by the Concert Group, unless the Whitewash Waiver is granted. The grant of the Whitewash Waiver is a condition precedent to the underwriting obligations of the WYT Underwriter, which is incapable of being waived. If the Whitewash Waiver is not granted, the Underwriting Agreement will not become unconditional and the Rights Issue will not proceed.

WYT will make an application to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code. The Whitewash Waiver, if granted by the Executive, would be subject to, among other things, the approval of the CAP Independent Shareholders at the CAP SGM by way of poll. The Concert Group and persons who are involved in, or interested in, the Rights Issue, the Underwriting Agreement, the Irrevocable Undertaking, the Notes Issue, the Special Deal and/or the Whitewash Waiver are required under the Takeovers Code to abstain from voting on the resolution(s) to be proposed at the CAP SGM to approve the Whitewash Waiver.

Please refer to Part G of this joint announcement for further details.

RESUMPTION OF TRADING

At the requests of CAP, EOG, WYT and WOG, respectively, trading in the CAP Shares, CAP’s 1 per cent notes due 2024 (Stock Code: 5755), the EOG Shares, the WYT Shares and the WOG Shares on the Stock Exchange were suspended with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 5 July 2017 pending the release of this joint announcement. Applications have been made to the Stock Exchange for the resumption of trading in the CAP Shares, CAP’s 1 per cent notes due 2024 (Stock Code: 5755), the EOG Shares, the WYT Shares and the WOG Shares, respectively, on the Stock Exchange with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 27 July 2017.

WARNING OF RISKS OF DEALINGS IN CAP SHARES, ADJUSTED SHARES, CAP’S 1 PER CENT NOTES DUE 2024 AND NIL-PAID RIGHTS SHARES

The Rights Issue is conditional upon the fulfillment of the conditions set out in the section headed “5. Conditions of the Rights Issue” in Part B of this joint announcement. In particular, the Rights Issue is subject to the Underwriters not terminating the Underwriting Agreement in accordance with the terms set out therein. Accordingly, the Rights Issue may or may not proceed. Completion of the Notes Issue is subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent as set out in the Notes Placing Agreement and the WYT Note Subscription Agreement, respectively, and outlined in this joint announcement, thus the Notes Issue may or may not proceed. Any CAP Shareholders or potential investors contemplating selling or purchasing the CAP Shares, the Adjusted Shares, CAP’s 1 per cent notes due 2024 (Stock Code: 5755) and/or nil-paid Rights Shares up to the date when the conditions of the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue are fulfilled will bear the risk that the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue may not become unconditional or may not proceed. The CAP Shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution when dealing in the CAP Shares, the Adjusted Shares, CAP’s 1 per cent notes due 2024 (Stock Code: 5755) and/or nil-paid Rights Shares. If they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult his/her/its own professional advisers.

PART A : CAPITAL REORGANISATION OF CAP

1. Capital Reorganisation and Change in Board Lot Size

The CAP Board proposes to effect the Capital Reorganisation comprising:

  • (i) a proposed Share Consolidation whereby every five (5) CAP Shares of nominal value of HK$0.01 each in the issued share capital of CAP will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of nominal value of HK$0.05;

  • (ii) a proposed Capital Reduction whereby: (a) any fractional Consolidated Shares in the issued share capital of CAP arising from the Share Consolidation shall be cancelled; and (b) the nominal value of all the issued Consolidated Shares shall be reduced from HK$0.05 each to HK$0.01 each and the issued share capital of CAP shall be reduced by HK$0.04 per Consolidated Share in issue; and

  • (iii) applying the credit arising from the Capital Reduction to set off the accumulated losses of CAP.

The Capital Reorganisation is subject to, among other things, the passing of a special resolution by the CAP Shareholders approving the same at the CAP SGM. No CAP Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in this respect. Please refer to the section headed “5. CAP Circular; CAP SGM; and Despatch of the Prospectus Documents” in Part H of this joint announcement for information relating to the CAP SGM.

2. Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation

The implementation of the Share Consolidation and the Capital Reduction are interconditional on each other. The implementation of the Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon, among other things:

  • (i) the passing of a special resolution approving the Capital Reorganisation by the CAP Shareholders at the CAP SGM;

  • (ii) compliance with Section 46(2) of the Companies Act to effect the Capital Reduction, which includes the publication of a notice in relation to the Capital Reduction in Bermuda in accordance with the Companies Act; and

  • (iii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares.

Assuming the above conditions are fulfilled, the Capital Reorganisation is expected to become effective on the date immediately after the date of the CAP SGM after the passing of the relevant resolution approving the Capital Reorganisation. Subject to the fulfillment of the above conditions, the Capital Reorganisation will comply with the relevant laws of Bermuda and the CAP Bye-Laws.

3. Effects of the Capital Reorganisation

As at the date of this joint announcement, the authorised share capital of CAP is HK$300,000,000.00 divided into 30,000,000,000 CAP Shares, of which 1,658,844,637 CAP Shares are issued and credited as fully paid. Upon the proposed Share Consolidation becoming effective and based on the issued share capital as at the date of this joint announcement, the issued share capital of CAP will be consolidated into 331,768,927 Consolidated Shares of nominal value of HK$0.05 each.

– 14 –

Upon the proposed Capital Reduction becoming effective, the nominal value of all the issued Consolidated Shares shall be reduced from HK$0.05 each to HK$0.01 each and the issued share capital of CAP shall accordingly be reduced to the extent of HK$0.04 per Consolidated Share in issue. Upon completion of the Share Consolidation and the Capital Reduction, the issued share capital of CAP will be reduced to approximately HK$3,317,689.27 divided into 331,768,927 Adjusted Shares of nominal value of HK$0.01 each.

Any fractional Consolidated Share in the issued share capital of CAP arising from the Share Consolidation shall be cancelled. The resulting Adjusted Shares of nominal value of HK$0.01 each will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the CAP Bye-Laws.

Assuming no further CAP Share will be issued or repurchased between the date of this joint announcement and the date on which the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective, a credit of HK$13,270,757.10 will arise as a result of the Capital Reduction and will be applied to set off the accumulated losses of CAP or in any manner permitted by the Companies Act and the CAP Bye-Laws.

Other than the relevant expenses incurred, the implementation of the Capital Reorganisation will have no effect on the consolidated net asset value of the CAP Group, nor will it alter the underlying assets, business, operations, management or financial position of the CAP Group or the interests of the CAP Shareholders as a whole. The CAP Board believes that the Capital Reorganisation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of CAP and that on the date the Capital Reorganisation is to become effective, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that CAP 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 CAP or the repayment to the CAP Shareholders of any unpaid capital of CAP, nor will it result in any change in the relative rights of the CAP Shareholders.

4. Reasons for the Capital Reorganisation

As a result of the Capital Reorganisation, CAP’s share capital and reserves will more closely reflect the available net assets of CAP. In addition, the Capital Reorganisation will provide greater flexibility for equity fund-raising of CAP in future (including the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue). The credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be applied to set off the accumulated losses of CAP or in any manner permitted by the Companies Act and the CAP Bye-Laws.

– 15 –

In view of the above, the CAP Board considers that the Capital Reorganisation is in the interests of CAP and the CAP Shareholders as a whole.

5. Listing and Dealings

An application will be made by CAP to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and the 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 settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

6. Free Exchange of Share Certificates

Subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, CAP Shareholders may submit certificates for the existing CAP Shares to the Registrar up to a date to be confirmed to exchange for the new certificates of the Adjusted Shares at the expenses of CAP. Thereafter, certificates for the existing CAP 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 CAP Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the Adjusted Shares, whichever number of certificates cancelled or issued is higher. The existing certificates will be valid for trading and settlement up to the latest time for trading in board lot of 1,000 Adjusted Shares in the form of existing certificates (the date of which will be announced by CAP) 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.

– 16 –

7. Change in Board Lot Size

As a result of the Capital Reorganisation, the board lot size of CAP Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange will temporarily decrease from 5,000 CAP Shares to 1,000 Adjusted Shares. The CAP Board announces that the board lot size of the Adjusted Shares will be changed from 1,000 Adjusted Shares to 5,000 Adjusted Shares after the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.241 per CAP Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day, the prevailing board lot value is HK$1,205 in the board lot size of 5,000 CAP Shares and, based on the theoretical ex-entitlement price of approximately HK$0.544 per Adjusted Share with reference to the closing price of HK$0.241 per CAP Share on the Last Trading Day, the new estimated board lot value would be approximately HK$2,720 in the new board lot size of 5,000 Adjusted Shares. The CAP Board believes that the enlarged board lot size will facilitate the trading of the Adjusted Shares following the Capital Reorganisation. The change in board lot size will not affect any of the CAP Shareholders’ rights.

Any new share certificates will be issued in board lots of 5,000 Adjusted Shares each (except for odd lots or where the Registrar is otherwise instructed).

The CAP Shareholders may submit their existing share certificates in board lots of 5,000 CAP Shares each to the Registrar in exchange for new share certificates in board lots of 5,000 Adjusted Shares each free of charge. The details about the free exchange of share certificates are set out in the section headed “6. Free Exchange of Share Certificates” in this Part A of the joint announcement.

8. Arrangements for Trading of Odd Lots

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Adjusted Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation and change in board lot size, a designated broker will be appointed to match the purchase and sale of odd lots of the Adjusted Shares at the relevant market price per Adjusted Share. Holders of odd lots of the Adjusted Shares should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Adjusted Shares is not guaranteed. Any CAP Shareholder who is in any doubt about the odd lot arrangement is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers. Details of the matching service will be provided in the CAP Circular.

3. Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.45 per Rights Share, payable in full on acceptance. The Subscription Price represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 62.66% to the adjusted closing price of HK$1.205 per Adjusted Share, based on the closing price of HK$0.241 per CAP Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation;

– 19 –

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 63.74% to the adjusted average closing price of approximately HK$1.241 per Adjusted Share, based on the average closing price of approximately HK$0.2482 per CAP Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation;

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 17.28% to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of approximately HK$0.544 per Adjusted Share after the Rights Issue, based on the closing price of HK$0.241 per CAP Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation; and

  • (iv) a discount of approximately 85.15% to the unaudited total equity attributable to owners of CAP per Adjusted Share of approximately HK$3.03 as at 31 December 2016 as adjusted for the Capital Reorganisation and after taking into account of the conversion of 2016 Placing CN of the principal amount of HK$152 million and HK$46.2 million on 6 April 2017 and 19 April 2017, respectively.

4. Basis of Determining the Subscription Price and Subscription Ratio

The Subscription Price and the subscription ratio were determined, among others, as a result of arm’s length negotiations between CAP and the Underwriters, and reflects the best commercial deal that CAP could negotiate with the Underwriters on terms commercially acceptable to both CAP and the Underwriters. The determination was also driven by:

  • (i) the financial position of the CAP Group, in light of a significant part of its present net assets consisting of property, particularly stock of properties, which have relatively lower liquidity and are not as readily realisable into cash that could otherwise be used to repay the CAP Group’s outstanding and upcoming indebtedness (see the section headed “2. Use of proceeds by CAP” in Part D of this joint announcement for further details);

  • (ii) the market price of the CAP Shares;

  • (iii) previous fund-raising activity of the CAP Group (see the section headed “3. Previous Fund-Raising Exercise in the Prior 12-Month Period” in Part H of this joint announcement for further details); and

  • (iv) the prevailing market conditions.

– 20 –

The net Subscription Price for minimum number of Rights Shares and maximum number of Rights Shares (after deduction of all related expenses) is approximately HK$0.435 and HK$0.438 per Rights Share, respectively.

In particular, the CAP Board also considers and notes the following key aspects of the Rights Issue:

  • (i) strengthening of capital base — the Rights Issue, if successful, would enable CAP to raise net proceeds of not less than approximately HK$1,010.3 million. Based on CAP’s audited total equity attributable to owners of CAP of approximately HK$805.6 million as of 31 December 2016 (as disclosed in the audited annual results of CAP for the year ended 31 December 2016), the Rights Issue can strengthen CAP’s equity base by approximately 125.41% upon completion of the Rights Issue;

  • (ii) costs of fund-raising through debt — had CAP raised not less than approximately HK$1,010.3 million in the form of debt rather than equity, assuming the debt carried an interest of 9.0% per year (being the weighted average of the interest rate payable by CAP on its debt as of 31 December 2016), CAP would have to pay approximately HK$90.9 million per year in interest. The equity raised through the Rights Issue would not be interest-bearing and hence CAP would have a notional savings in interest payable of approximately HK$90.9 million per year compared with incurring debt of the same amount;

  • (iii) CAP is in need of raising equity capital — CAP’s auditors have noted (without qualifying their opinion) in its Independent Auditor’s Reports for the year ended 31 December 2016 the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on CAP’s ability to continue as a going concern related to a court case in relation to the acquisition of Wuhan Baisazhou Agricultural By-Product Grand Market Company Limited by the CAP Group; and the fact that the CAP Group incurred a net loss of approximately HK$778,558,000 during the year ended 31 December 2016 and, as of that date, the CAP Group’s net current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately HK$384,112,000. Please refer to the notes 2(b) and 36 in the consolidated financial statements as set out in the annual report of CAP for the year ended 31 December 2016 for further details. The Rights Issue is intended to enable the equity capital of CAP to be strengthened in the hope to help address the going concern issues. Also, CAP is in need of funding for payment of the Outstanding Interests which the payment date of which has been further extended to 30 November 2017 and repayment of financial institution and/or non-financial institution borrowings bearing interests ranging from 4.8% to 12.3% per annum;

– 21 –

  • (iv) safeguards for the CAP Shareholders — the subscription ratio and discount structure of the Rights Issue is a commercial decision of CAP which is required to be approved, as part of the terms of the Rights Issue, by the CAP Independent Shareholders at the CAP SGM. The CAP Shareholders’ interests are safeguarded by the fact that the CAP Independent Shareholders, before exercising their respective voting rights, will be advised by the Independent Board Committee (comprising all independent non-executive CAP Directors) and the Independent Financial Adviser. The CAP Independent Shareholders can then make an informed decision as to whether to vote in favour of the Rights Issue on the terms proposed. If the Rights Issue is approved at the CAP SGM, it is unlikely that those CAP Independent Shareholders voting in favour of the Rights Issue would subsequently choose not to subscribe for their provisional entitlement of Rights Shares; and

  • (v) Subscription Price to encourage participation — the discount of approximately 62.66% to the adjusted closing price per Adjusted Share on the Last Trading Day represented by the Subscription Price is made with a view to encouraging the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and accordingly maintain their shareholdings in CAP and participate in the future growth of CAP. In addition, as has been indicated to CAP during the negotiation of the Underwriting Agreement, given the subscription ratio, the theoretically potential dilution effect and the structure of the Rights Issue, a subscription price with a discount to the closing price is necessary to induce the Underwriters to participate in the underwriting of the Underwritten Shares, which is an essential part of the Rights Issue. The CAP Board considers that this discount is acceptable for a company listed on the Stock Exchange having considered the characteristics and the market capitalisation of CAP as well as the prevailing market conditions of capital markets in Hong Kong as at the date of this joint announcement.

Taking into account all of the above factors and the alternative financing methods, CAP had considered and referred to under the section headed “1. Reasons for CAP to enter into the transactions” in Part D of this joint announcement, the CAP Board (excluding the independent non-executive CAP Directors whose opinion will be set out in the CAP Circular, after having been advised by the Independent Financial Adviser) is of the view that the structure and terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price and the subscription ratio are: (i) necessary and commercially unavoidable to attract the Underwriters to participate in the Rights Issue on terms acceptable to both CAP and the Underwriters, and therefore necessary for CAP to successfully complete the Rights Issue, and (ii) in light of the resulting benefits to CAP from completion of the Rights Issue and mechanisms in place to sufficiently safeguard the CAP Shareholders’ interests, in the interests of CAP and the CAP Shareholders as a whole.

– 22 –

  • (xii) if necessary, the obtaining of the consent or permission from the Bermuda Monetary Authority in respect of the issue of the Rights Shares; and

(xiii) there being no Specified Event occurring prior to the Latest Time For Termination.

The conditions are incapable of being waived. If any of the above conditions is not satisfied in whole by the Latest Time For Termination (or such other time and/or date specified therein) or such other time and/or date as CAP and the Underwriters may agree in writing, the Underwriting Agreement shall be terminated accordingly and the Rights Issue will not proceed. In such circumstance, no party shall have any claim against the other parties for costs, damages, compensation or otherwise save for any antecedent breaches.

  • (ii) any Specified Event comes to the knowledge of any of the Underwriters.

7. Qualifying Shareholders

To qualify for the Rights Issue, a CAP Shareholder must be registered as a member of CAP and not being an Excluded Shareholder on the Record Date.

CAP will send the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders, and will send the Prospectus (without the PAL(s) and EAF(s)), for information purposes only, to the Excluded Shareholders on the Prospectus Posting Date.

– 29 –

CAP will ascertain whether there are any Overseas Shareholders on the Record Date. In determining whether there will be Excluded Shareholders, CAP will make enquiry regarding the legal restrictions (if any) under the laws of the relevant places and the requirements of the relevant regulatory bodies or stock exchanges in relation to CAP’s offering of the Rights Shares to the Overseas Shareholders in compliance with the Listing Rules.

8. Rights of the Excluded Shareholders

The Prospectus Documents are not intended to be registered under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong.

In compliance with the necessary requirements of the Listing Rules, CAP will make enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to the Overseas Shareholders (if any). If, based on legal advice, the CAP Directors consider that it is necessary or expedient not to offer the Rights Shares to the Overseas Shareholders on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that place, the Rights Issue will not be available to such Overseas Shareholders. Further information in this connection will be set out in the Prospectus Documents containing, among other things, details of the Rights Issue, to be despatched to the Qualifying Shareholders on the Prospectus Posting Date. CAP will send copies of the Prospectus to the Excluded Shareholders on the Prospectus Posting Date for their information only, but will not send any PAL(s) and EAF(s) to them.

Arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Excluded Shareholders to be sold in the market in their nilpaid form as soon as practicable after dealings in the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form commence and before dealings in the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form end, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. The proceeds of such sale, less expenses, will be retained for the benefit of CAP. Any unsold entitlement of the Excluded Shareholders to the Rights Shares and any Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted by the Qualifying Shareholders or otherwise subscribed for by transferees of the nil-paid Rights Shares, will be made available for excess applications by the Qualifying Shareholders.

Overseas Shareholders should note that they may or may not be entitled to the Rights Issue, subject to the results of enquiries made by the CAP Directors pursuant to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, Overseas Shareholders should exercise caution when dealing in the CAP Shares or Adjusted Shares.

9. Application for Excess Rights Shares

Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to apply for any unsold entitlements of the Excluded Shareholders and any Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted by the Qualifying Shareholders (or the transferees to whom any Qualifying Shareholders have transferred their provisional entitlements). Application may be made by completing the EAF(s) and lodging the same with a separate remittance for the excess Rights Shares no later than the Latest Time For Acceptance. The CAP Directors will allocate the excess Rights Shares at their discretion on a fair and equitable basis and on a pro-rata basis to the excess Rights Shares applied for by the Qualifying Shareholders. However, no preference will be given to topping-up odd lots to whole board lots.

Beneficial owners of Adjusted Shares whose Adjusted Shares are held by a nominee company (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) should note that for the purpose of the Rights Issue, the CAP Board will regard the nominee company as a single CAP Shareholder according to the register of members of CAP. Accordingly, the beneficial owners of Adjusted Shares whose Adjusted Shares are registered in the name of nominee companies should note that the aforesaid arrangement in relation to the allocation of the excess Rights Shares will not be extended to beneficial owners individually.

For those beneficial owners of Adjusted Shares whose Adjusted Shares are held by their nominee(s) (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) and who would like to have their names registered on the register of members of CAP, they must lodge all necessary documents with the Registrar for completion of the relevant registration.

10. Status of the Rights Shares

The Rights Shares (when allotted, fully paid or credited as fully paid and issued) will rank pari passu in all respects among themselves and with the Adjusted Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Rights Shares. Holders of the Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid on or after the date of allotment and issue of the Rights Shares. Dealings in the Rights Shares will be subject to payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, transaction levy, investor compensation levy or any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

– 31 –

11. Certificates of the Rights Shares

Subject to fulfillment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, share certificates for the Rights Shares will be sent to those entitled thereto by ordinary post at their own risks. Share certificates will be issued for the fully-paid Rights Shares.

12. Refund Cheques for the Rights Issue

Refund cheques in respect of wholly or partially unsuccessful applications for excess Rights Shares (if any) will be posted by ordinary post to the applicants at their own risk.

13. Fractions of the Rights Shares

On the basis of provisional allotment of seven (7) Adjusted Shares for every one (1) Adjusted Share held on the Record Date, no fractional entitlements to the Rights Shares will arise under the Rights Issue.

14. Set-off Arrangement

Subject to the consents of CAP and the Underwriters, the Qualifying Shareholders, the Underwriters and their respective associates shall be entitled to set off all or part of the aggregate subscription monies in respect of the Rights Shares against such sums due from CAP to such Qualifying Shareholder, the Underwriters and their respective associates under any existing legally valid, binding and enforceable agreement between CAP and such Qualifying Shareholder as determined by the sole discretion of CAP.

15. Application for Listing

CAP will apply to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Rights Shares (in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms) to be issued and allotted pursuant to the Rights Issue. No part of the securities of CAP is listed or dealt in, and no listing of or permission to deal in any such securities is being or is proposed to be sought, on any other stock exchanges.

– 32 –

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Rights Shares (in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms) on the Stock Exchange, the Rights Shares (in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms) will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the respective commencement dates of dealings in the Rights Shares in each of their nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange, or such other dates 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.

All necessary arrangements will be made to enable the Rights Shares (in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms) to be admitted into CCASS.

Dealings in the Rights Shares in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms will be subject to the payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, transaction levy, investor compensation levy or any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

Ranking of Conversion Shares:

Conversion:

The Conversion Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with the Adjusted Shares in issue at the date of the conversion notice.

A Notes Holder may convert the whole or part of the principal amount of the relevant Convertible Note(s) (in multiple of HK$1,000,000 at any one time of conversion) into new Adjusted Shares unless the outstanding principal amount of the relevant Convertible Note(s) is less than HK$1,000,000 in which case the whole (but not part only) of such outstanding principal amount shall be converted.

– 47 –

No conversion shall be made by a Notes Holder unless immediately after exercise of such conversion rights attaching to the relevant Convertible Note(s), CAP will be able to comply with the public float requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.

Conversion Price:

The Conversion Price for the conversion of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes into Conversion Shares shall be HK$0.58 per Conversion Share, subject to adjustments.

The Conversion Price may be adjusted upon occurrence of adjustment events, which include consolidation or subdivision of the Adjusted Shares, capitalisation of profits or reserves, capital distributions in cash or specie, rights issues or subsequent issue of securities in CAP, and will in any event not be adjusted below the par value of the Adjusted Share. In addition, every adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be certified (at the option of CAP) either by the auditors of CAP for the time being or by an approved merchant bank.

The Conversion Price may be adjusted upon occurrence of adjustment events, which include:

  • (i) consolidation or subdivision of the Adjusted Shares resulting in the Adjusted Shares having a different nominal amount, where the Conversion Price in force immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the revised nominal amount and dividing the result by the former nominal amount;

  • (ii) capitalisation of profits or reserves, where the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such issue shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Adjusted Shares immediately before such issue and dividing the result by the sum of such aggregate nominal amount and the aggregate nominal amount of the Adjusted Shares issued in such capitalisation;

– 48 –

  • (iii) capital distributions in cash or specie, where the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such distribution or grant shall be reduced by multiplying it by the following fraction:

A – B A

where:

  • A = the market price on the date on which the capital distribution or, as the case may be, the grant is publicly announced or (failing any such announcement) the date next preceding the date of the capital distribution or, as the case may be, of the grant; and

  • B = the fair market value on the day of such announcement or (as the case may require) the next preceding day, as determined in good faith by an approved merchant bank, of the portion of the capital distribution or of such rights which is attributable to one Adjusted Share,

provided that the provisions of this adjustment event shall

not apply in relation to the issue of the Adjusted Shares paid out of profits or reserves and issued in lieu of a cash dividend;

  • (iv) rights issues, where the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before the date of the announcement of such offer or grant by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of the Adjusted Shares in issue immediately before the date of such announcement plus the number of the Adjusted Shares which the aggregate of the amount (if any) payable for the rights, options or warrants and of the amount payable for the total number of new Adjusted Shares comprised therein would purchase at such market price and the denominator is the number of the Adjusted

– 49 –

Shares in issue immediately before the date of such announcement plus the aggregate number of the Adjusted Shares offered for subscription or comprised in the options or warrants (such adjustment to become effective (if appropriate retroactively) from the commencement of the day next following the record date for the offer or grant);

  • (v) subsequent issue of securities in CAP which are convertible into new Adjusted Shares, where the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to the issue by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of the Adjusted Shares in issue immediately before the date of the issue plus the number of the Adjusted Shares which the total effective consideration receivable for the securities issued would purchase at such market price and the denominator is the number of the Adjusted Shares in issue immediately before the date of the issue plus the number of the Adjusted Shares to be issued upon conversion or exchange of, or the exercise of the subscription rights conferred by, such securities at the initial conversion or exchange rate or subscription price;

  • (vi) subsequent issue of the Adjusted Shares wholly for cash, where the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before the date of such announcement by a fraction of which the numerator is the number of the Adjusted Shares in issue immediately before the date of such announcement plus the number of the Adjusted Shares which the aggregate amount payable for the issue would purchase at such market price and the denominator is the number of the Adjusted Shares in issue immediately before the date of such announcement plus the number of the Adjusted Shares so issued; or

– 50 –

  • (vii) subsequent issue of the Adjusted Shares for the acquisition of asset, where the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying it by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the total effective consideration per Adjusted Share and the denominator shall be such market price,

and will in any event not be adjusted below the par value of the Adjusted Share. In addition, every adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be certified (at the option of CAP) either by the auditors of CAP for the time being or by an approved merchant bank.

In the adjustment events set out above, “market price” shall mean the average of the closing prices of one Adjusted Share trading on the Stock Exchange for each of the last five Stock Exchange trading days on which trading in the Adjusted Shares on the Stock Exchange took place ending on the last such trading day preceding the day on or as of which the market price is to be ascertained, and “effective consideration” shall mean the aggregate consideration credited as being paid for such Adjusted Shares by CAP on acquisition of the relevant asset without any deduction of any commissions, discounts or expenses paid, allowed or incurred in connection with the issue thereof.

Transfer:

Listing:

The Convertible Notes may be assigned or transferred with the prior written notifications made to CAP, provided that, the Convertible Notes shall not be assigned or transferred to any connected person of CAP. CAP will notify the Stock Exchange should it become aware of the Convertible Notes having assigned or transferred to any connected person of CAP. The principal amount to be transferred must be at least HK$1,000,000 or integral multiples of HK$1,000,000.

No application will be made for the listing of the Convertible Notes on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange. An application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Conversion Shares.

The issue of the Placing Conversion Shares and the WYT Conversion Shares to be allotted and issued upon the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Notes will be subject to the Specific Mandate to be approved by the CAP Independent Shareholders at the CAP SGM.

No application will be made for the listing of the Convertible Notes on the Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange. An application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Conversion Shares.

6. The Conversion Price and Conversion Shares

The Conversion Price

The Conversion Price of HK$0.58 per Conversion Share (subject to adjustments) was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between CAP, Key High and the Placing Agent and represents:

  • (a) a discount of approximately 51.87% to the adjusted closing price of HK$1.205 per Adjusted Share, based on the closing price of HK$0.241 per CAP Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation;

  • (b) a discount of approximately 53.26% to the adjusted average closing price of approximately HK$1.241 per Adjusted Share, based on the average closing price of approximately HK$0.2482 as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation; and

  • (c) a discount of approximately 80.86% to the unaudited total equity attributable to owners of CAP per Adjusted Share of approximately HK$3.03 as at 31 December 2016 as adjusted for the Capital Reorganisation and after taking into account of the conversion of 2016 Placing CN of the principal amount of HK$152 million and HK$46.2 million on 6 April 2017 and 19 April 2017, respectively.

PART D : REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE NOTES ISSUE AND USE OF PROCEEDS BY CAP

1. Reasons for CAP to enter into the transactions

The CAP Group is principally engaged in the management and sales of agricultural produce exchanges in the PRC. The audited total value of the CAP Group’s investment properties and stock of properties as at 31 December 2016 (as disclosed in the audited annual results of CAP for the year ended 31 December 2016) is approximately HK$5,150.1 million and its property portfolio includes a total land reserve of approximately 2.1 million square meters as at 31 December 2016.

Based on the audited financial information set out in the annual report of CAP for the year ended 31 December 2016, as at 31 December 2016, CAP had audited consolidated net assets attributable to owners of CAP of approximately HK$805.6 million, consolidated total assets of approximately HK$5,957.2 million and consolidated total liabilities of approximately HK$4,798.2 million.

The following information is extracted respectively from the audited financial statements of CAP for the two financial years ended 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2016:

For the fnancial For the fnancial
year ended year ended
31 December 2016 31 December 2015
(HK$’000) (HK$’000)
Revenue 603,132 365,192
Loss before taxation (852,442) (493,558)
Loss for the year (778,558) (493,940)

– 54 –

CAP has been loss making for the last three years. In addition, its net current (liabilities)/ assets position has swung from the net current assets of HK$895,331,000 as of 31 December 2015 to the net current liabilities of approximately HK$384,112,000 as of 31 December 2016. Reference is also made to the joint announcement issued by WOG, WYT and CAP dated 29 May 2017 where CAP due to its tight cash position has requested for, and the Bonds holders have agreed to, an extension of the interest payment period for the Outstanding Interests. For the year ended 31 December 2016, CAP incurred a total amount of HK$269.4 million as interest expenses for its outstanding interest-bearing bank and other borrowings, bonds and promissory notes. In light of the above as well as in view of cash required for ongoing business operations and general working capital purpose and for repayment of debt when due, it is vital for CAP to raise new equity (such as through the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue) and additional funds to improve its current challenging financial position, in particular, to address the material uncertainty related to going concern as mentioned in the section headed “4. Basis of Determining the Subscription Price and Subscription Ratio” in Part B of this joint announcement; as well as to help to alleviate its tight cash position.

In light of the above, the CAP Directors believe that the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue will directly and indirectly strengthen the capital base of CAP and bolster its ability to capitalise upon potential business opportunities associated with its principal business engagements.

The expenses in relation to the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue, including financial, legal and other professional advisory fees, underwriting commissions, placing commission, printing and translation expenses, will be borne by CAP. Having sought financing in various ways such as equity placements, as well as bank and other borrowings, and having considered the costs of such fund-raising alternatives, the CAP Board (excluding the independent non-executive CAP Directors whose opinion will be set out in the CAP Circular, after having been advised by the Independent Financial Adviser) presently considers the combination of the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue as the most commercially viable option for CAP in the prevailing circumstances. This is the case for the reasons set out above, as well as after taking into account the following considerations:

  • (i) benefits of a combination of Rights Issue and Notes Issue — the Rights Issue affords all Qualifying Shareholders equal opportunity to subscribe for their pro-rata provisional entitlement of the Rights Shares and hence avoids dilution, and participate as fully as they wish in the growth opportunity of CAP by way of applying for excess Rights Shares. It also allows the Qualifying Shareholders who decide not to take up their entitlements under the Rights Issue to sell the nil-paid Rights Shares in the market for economic benefit. By comparison, had CAP raised equity of similar size in the form of a placing, then such an exercise would not have allowed all CAP Shareholders to participate in the capital exercise and they would be diluted without being given an opportunity to maintain their percentage interests.

– 55 –

On the other hand, in view of the general tightening of credit in the banking and finance industry, it is difficult for the CAP Group to obtain bank borrowings of such a magnitude of the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue on acceptable terms. CAP Directors consider it might have over-burdened the CAP Shareholders with an imminent and more significant dilution effect (in case a CAP Shareholder decides not to participate) if the size of the Rights Issue were to increase to cover the capital which would otherwise be raised under the Notes Issue. Having taken into account the capital requirements of the CAP Group, the Conversion Shares will be issued at a Conversion Price of HK$0.58 per Conversion Share under the Notes Issue, which represents a premium of approximately 28.89% over the Subscription Price of HK$0.45 per Rights Share under the Rights Issue. In light of the above, the combination of the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue would not only reduce the number of the Rights Shares which would otherwise be required to be issued to cover the capital to be raised under the Notes Issue, but also provide an enhancement to the capital of CAP for the Conversion Shares to be issued at a premium. Separately, CAP Directors consider the Notes Issue, in particular, the WYT Note Subscription, provides an assured source of funding which will be directly used to offset loans owed to WYT and therefore the potential dilution in shareholdings to the CAP Independent Shareholders is justifiable;

  • (ii) costs of other fund-raising alternatives — as of 31 December 2016, the CAP Group has outstanding interest-bearing bank and other borrowings, convertible bonds, bonds and promissory notes of approximately HK$2,992.9 million. During the financial year ended 31 December 2016, the interest rate of the CAP Group’s outstanding interestbearing bank and other borrowings, bonds and promissory notes was ranging from approximately 2.7% to approximately 12.3%.

This represented a gearing ratio of approximately 2.3 as of 31 December 2016 being a ratio of total bank and other borrowings, bonds, convertible bonds and promissory notes of approximately HK$2,992.9 million net of cash and cash equivalents of approximately HK$330.1 million to total shareholders’ funds in the amount of approximately HK$1,159.0 million. As for additional bank borrowings, such would further increase CAP’s gearing ratio without strengthening its equity base and there is no assurance that such borrowings of this size can be obtained. Please also refer to the section headed “4. Basis of Determining the Subscription Price and Subscription Ratio” in Part B of this joint announcement for a calculation of the notional interest savings of the Rights Issue over borrowings; and

– 56 –

  • (iii) efforts in seeking other financing alternatives — while CAP has considered, and is still actively searching for, other financing alternatives including equity and debt financing, it is uncertain as to when and on what terms these financing alternatives will be made available. In particular, during the past 12 months, CAP has undertaken the issue of the 2016 Placing CN and the 2016 EOG CN. CAP has also approached certain financial institutions and obtained certain loan facilities, with the borrowings from PRC banks and financial institutions having effective interest rates of approximately 5.2% to approximately 6.2%.

The CAP Directors are of the view that the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue represent a good opportunity to raise new equity and additional funds for, among others, the general working capital, repayment of indebtedness and future development of CAP, and therefore to alleviate the current challenging financial position of CAP. In addition, the Rights Issue, as well as upon the exercise of the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible Notes, the long-term development of CAP is expected to be benefited by broadening the capital base of CAP. Meanwhile, reducing the indebtedness of the CAP Group can reduce the finance cost and improve the gearing ratio of the CAP Group, which is more the case in view of the net current liability position of CAP.

From a long term perspective, the CAP Directors are still hopeful that there is an opportunity to turn the current challenging financial position around, largely in view of the continuing support of the agricultural sector by the PRC government. The agricultural sector has historically been an important component of China’s economy, the PRC government aims to enhance the industry based on the national modern agriculture development plan. Under the plan, the PRC government will: (i) establish a mechanism to ensure steady increase in agricultural investment, including the continual increase in investment to boost agricultural production, rural development and farmers’ well-being, improving the rural financial services, as well as guiding social resources into agriculture, (ii) strengthen support and protection for agriculture by improving its agricultural reward and subsidy policy and reforming the regulatory mechanism for agricultural markets, and (iii) further liberalise and open-up the PRC’s agriculture sector to the outside world by promoting international cooperation in agriculture and enhancing agricultural trade.

On the basis of the above, the CAP Directors (excluding the independent non-executive CAP Directors who will give their view after taking into consideration of the advice of the Independent Financial Advisor) consider that the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue, and the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Notes Placing Agreement and the WYT Note Subscription Agreement, which were each arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between CAP and the respective counterparty, are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of CAP and the CAP Shareholders as a whole.

– 57 –

To reiterate, the CAP Shareholders’ interests are safeguarded by the following: (i) the Rights Issue will be subject to the approval by the CAP Independent Shareholders at the CAP SGM (whereby, among others, the Concert Group, will abstain from voting), and (ii) the CAP Independent Shareholders, before exercising their respective voting rights, will be advised by the Independent Board Committee (comprising all independent non-executive CAP Directors) and the Independent Financial Adviser. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be subject to the scrutiny of the Independent Financial Adviser and the Independent Board Committee and the decision of the CAP Independent Shareholders. The CAP Independent Shareholders are then expected to be able to make an informed decision as to whether to vote in favour of the Rights Issue on the terms proposed.

However, those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares to which they are entitled should note that their shareholdings in CAP will be significantly diluted.

2. Use of proceeds by CAP

The Rights Issue and the Notes Issue are proposed with a view to facilitate the CAP Group’s business development and expansion by improving its debt profile through the repayment of the CAP Group’s financial indebtedness. The aggregate net proceeds to be raised from the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue, being not less than approximately HK$1,403.8 million and not more than HK$1,658.7 million are intended to be applied as follows:

When the aggregate net proceeds to be raised from the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue is at lower end at HK$1,403.8 million, they are intended to be applied as follows:

  • (a) approximately HK$527 million will be utilised towards the offsetting of outstanding principal amounts of the Bonds issued by CAP to Winning Rich;

  • (b) approximately HK$140 million will be utilised towards the offsetting of outstanding principal amounts of the 2016 EOG CN issued by CAP to Peony Finance;

  • (c) approximately HK$110 million will be utilised towards the offsetting of Bonds issued by CAP to Peony Finance;

  • (d) approximately HK$100 million will be utilised towards the repayment of outstanding principal amounts on loans of the CAP Group due to the WOG Group;

  • (e) approximately HK$58 million will be utilised towards the repayment of the Outstanding Interests;

– 58 –

  • (f) approximately HK$441 million will be utilised towards the repayment of outstanding principal amounts and related interest on financial institution and non-financial institution borrowings owing by the CAP Group; and

  • (g) the remaining proceeds of not less than approximately HK$27.8 million will be utilised as general working capital (major components of which are salary and rental expenses) of the CAP Group.

When the aggregate net proceeds to be raised from the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue is at upper end at HK$1,658.7 million, they are intended to be applied as follows:

  • (a) approximately HK$527 million will be utilised towards the offsetting of outstanding principal amounts of the Bonds issued by CAP to Winning Rich;

  • (b) approximately HK$140 million will be utilised towards the offsetting of outstanding principal amounts of the 2016 EOG CN issued by CAP to Peony Finance;

  • (c) approximately HK$110 million will be utilised towards the offsetting of Bonds issued by CAP to Peony Finance;

  • (d) approximately HK$100 million will be utilised towards the repayment of outstanding principal amounts on loans of the CAP Group due to the WOG Group;

  • (e) approximately HK$58 million will be utilised towards the repayment of the Outstanding Interests;

  • (f) approximately HK$695 million will be utilised towards the repayment of outstanding principal amounts on loans and related interest owing by the CAP Group; and

  • (g) the remaining proceeds of not less than approximately HK$28.7 million will be utilised as general working capital (major components of which are salary and rental expenses) of the CAP Group.

Announcement(s) will be made by the CAP Group in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when necessary when there is a material change in the use of net proceeds from the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue.

3. The Special Deal

The repayment by CAP of indebtedness owed to the EOG Group (i.e. paragraphs (b), (c) and (to the extent relevant to the EOG Group) (e) only of the section headed “2. Use of proceeds by CAP”) and the arrangement for the payment for the EOG Transactions to be off-set by the outstanding indebtedness owed by CAP to the EOG Group under the Bonds and the 2016 EOG CN constitutes a “special deal” under Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code and will be conditional upon obtaining the consent of the Executive under Note 5 to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code. The Executive will normally consent to the Special Deal provided that: (i) the Independent Financial Adviser publicly states in its opinion that the Special Deal is an arm’s length transaction on normal commercial terms and that its terms are fair and reasonable, and (ii) it is approved by the CAP Independent Shareholders at the CAP SGM by way of poll. An application will be made to the Executive for its consent to the Special Deal pursuant to Note 5 to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code.

4. Reasons for the EOG Transactions

Based on the following reasons, the EOG Directors consider that the terms of the Irrevocable Undertaking are fair and reasonable and believe that the EOG Transactions are in the interests of EOG and the EOG Shareholders as a whole:

  • (i) Participation in CAP’s future development and growth in the PRC agricultural produce exchanges industry: Notwithstanding that CAP has been loss making for the last three years and there exists a material uncertainty related to going concern as mentioned in the section headed “4. Basis of Determining the Subscription Price and Subscription Ratio” in Part B of this joint announcement, it is noted that the CAP Directors believe it is hopeful to have an opportunity to turn it around for the reasons given by the CAP Board as mentioned under the section headed “1. Reasons for CAP to enter into the transactions” in this Part D of this joint announcement. The EOG Board believes that the Rights Issue will strengthen the capital base of CAP so that CAP will be expected to be in a position to capture more business opportunities associated with its principal business engagements ahead. In addition, the Irrevocable Undertaking is given in order to support and maintain the value of the EOG Group’s investment in CAP and the excess application to be made thereunder to increase its shareholding in CAP will provide the EOG Group an opportunity to participate in additional future returns of CAP;

– 60 –

  • (ii) Subscription of Rights Shares: On the basis that, in addition to the Rights Shares to which Onger Investments is provisionally entitled under the Rights Issue, Onger Investments will receive in full the 555,463,345 Rights Shares for which it will have made an excess application pursuant to the Irrevocable Undertaking, the EOG Group will have a maximum shareholding interest of up to approximately 23.45% in CAP upon completion of the Rights Issue, and remain a substantial shareholder of CAP. On such basis, the EOG Group will retain significant influence over CAP’s management, including participation in the financial and operational decisions in CAP; and

  • (iii) Subscription Price: Given that the Subscription Price represents: (a) a discount of approximately 62.66% to the adjusted closing price of HK$1.205 per Adjusted Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day (and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation), (b) a discount of approximately 17.28% to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of approximately HK$0.544 per Adjusted Share after the Rights Issue, based on the adjusted closing price of HK$1.205 per Adjusted Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day (and adjusted for the effect of the Capital Reorganisation), (c) a discount of approximately 85.15% to the audited total equity attributable to owners of CAP per Adjusted Share of approximately HK$3.03 as at 31 December 2016 (as adjusted for the Capital Reorganisation and after taking into account of the conversion of the 2016 Placing CN of the principal amount of HK$152 million and HK$46.2 million on 6 April 2017 and 19 April 2017, respectively), the EOG Board considers the Subscription Price to be attractive and that the Rights Issue is a valuable opportunity for the EOG Group to increase its shareholding in CAP.

5. Reasons for the WYT Transactions

Based on the following reasons, each of the WYT Directors and the WOG Directors consider that the terms of the Underwriting Agreement and the WYT Note Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and believe that the WYT Transactions are in the interests of each of WYT and the WYT Shareholders and WOG and the WOG Shareholders as a whole:

– 61 –

  • (i) Participation in CAP’s future development and growth in the PRC agricultural produce exchanges industry: Notwithstanding that CAP has been loss making for the last three years and there exists a material uncertainty related to going concern as mentioned in the section headed “4. Basis of Determining the Subscription Price and Subscription Ratio” in Part B of this joint announcement, it is noted that the CAP Directors believe it is hopeful to have an opportunity to turn it around for the reasons given by the CAP Board as mentioned under the section headed “1. Reasons for CAP to enter into the transactions” in this Part D of this joint announcement. Each of the WYT Board and the WOG Board believes that the Rights Issue will strengthen the capital base of CAP so that CAP will be expected to be in a better position to capture more business opportunities associated with its principal business engagements ahead. In addition, the WYT Transactions will provide the WOG Group, through its listed 51.32%-owned WYT Group, an opportunity to participate in additional future returns of CAP and will ensure that the Rights Shares are fully subscribed for. The WYT Group can obtain additional protection in its investment in CAP through the WYT Note Subscription, as it is flexible for WYT to hold the WYT Convertible Note until maturity without conversion should the performance of CAP is not satisfactory;

  • (ii) Subscription Price and Conversion Price: Given that each of the Subscription Price and Conversion Price represents: (a) a discount of approximately 62.66% and 51.87% to the adjusted closing price of HK$1.205 per Adjusted Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day, (b) a discount of approximately 17.28% and a premium of approximately 6.62% to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of approximately HK$0.544 per Adjusted Share after the Rights Issue, based on the closing price of HK$1.205 per CAP Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day, (c) a discount of approximately 85.15% and 80.86% to the audited total equity attributable to owners of CAP per Adjusted Share of approximately HK$3.03 as at 31 December 2016 (as adjusted for the Capital Reorganisation and after taking into account of the conversion of the 2016 Placing CN of the principal amount of HK$152 million and HK$46.2 million on 6 April 2017 and 19 April 2017, respectively), each of the WYT Board and the WOG Board considers the Subscription Price and the Conversion Price to be attractive and that the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue represent a valuable opportunity for the WOG Group, through its listed 51.32%-owned WYT Group, to have equity and equity-linked participation in CAP; and

– 62 –

  • (iii) Flexibility: Each of the WYT Directors and the WOG Directors are of the view that the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue would enable CAP to raise funds to repay the Outstanding Interests and other outstanding loans and the Bonds that are owed to the WOG Group and the WYT Group. The WYT Transactions would transform the outstanding indebtedness owed by CAP to Winning Rich into the form of Convertible Notes held by Winning Rich. The WYT Transactions would not only provide the underwriting commission and maintain stable attractive interest income to WYT through the WYT Convertible Note but also provide additional flexibility for WYT for conversion of the WYT Convertible Note into the Adjusted Shares if and when necessary.

PART E : LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

1. Rights Issue by, and connected transactions for, CAP

Rights Issue by CAP

As the Rights Issue will result in an increase in the number of issued Adjusted Shares by more than 50%, the Rights Issue is subject to, among other things, the approval by the CAP Independent Shareholders at the CAP SGM. Pursuant to Rule 7.19(6) of the Listing Rules, any CAP controlling shareholder and their associates, or where there is no such CAP controlling shareholder, the CAP Directors (excluding the independent non-executive CAP Directors), the chief executive of CAP and their respective associates will need to abstain from voting in favour of the resolution relating to the Rights Issue. As at the date of this joint announcement, there is no CAP controlling shareholder.

Connected transactions for CAP

As at the date of this joint announcement, Mr. Yau Yuk Shing, being a CAP Director, is a brother-in-law of Mr. Tang, who controls more than 50% of the total issued share capital of WOG. Key High is an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of WYT (a listed 51.32%-owned subsidiary of WOG). Therefore, Key High is an associate of Mr. Yau Yuk Shing, and thus a connected person of CAP under the Listing Rules.

– 63 –

Underwriting Agreement

Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, CAP shall pay each of the Underwriters a commission fee of 2.5% of the aggregate Subscription Price in respect of their respective maximum number of Underwritten Shares agreed to be underwritten by each of them. The proposed payment of the commission fee from CAP to Key High constitutes a connected transaction. As the terms of the payment of a commission fee are on normal commercial terms and all applicable percentage ratios are less than 5% but higher than 0.1%, the payment of the commission fee to the WYT Underwriter by CAP is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements only, but exempt from the independent shareholders’ approval requirement under Rule 14A.76(2) of the Listing Rules.

The WYT Note Subscription Agreement

The WYT Note Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder also constitute a connected transaction on the part of CAP under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. WOG and its associates are required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution to approve, among other things, the WYT Note Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the CAP SGM.

Independent Board Committee

CAP has established the Independent Board Committee to advise the CAP Independent Shareholders as to (i) whether each of the Rights Issue (including the Underwriting Agreement), the WYT Note Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, the Special Deal and the Whitewash Waiver are fair and reasonable and in the interests of CAP and the CAP Shareholders as a whole, and (ii) voting by the CAP Independent Shareholders, taking into account the recommendation of the Independent Financial Adviser. In this regard, the Independent Financial Adviser will be appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the CAP Independent Shareholders accordingly.

Please refer to the section headed “5. CAP Circular; CAP SGM; and Despatch of the Prospectus Documents” in Part H of this joint announcement for further details about the CAP SGM.

– 64 –

2. Very substantial acquisition for EOG

As the applicable percentage ratio(s) (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the EOG Transactions exceed 100%, the transactions contemplated under the EOG Transactions constitute a very substantial acquisition for EOG under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, and are therefore subject to the notification, publication and shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. The EOG SGM will be held to consider and, if thought fit, pass the relevant resolutions to approve, among other things, the EOG Transactions.

Financial impact on EOG of the EOG Transactions

Assuming:

  • (i) EOG Group subscribes for its provisional entitlement under the Rights Issue in full in accordance with the terms of the Irrevocable Undertaking; and

  • (ii) EOG Group receives in full the 87,000,000 Rights Shares for which it will have made an excess application pursuant to the terms of the Irrevocable Undertaking,

the direct interests of the EOG Group in the issued share capital of CAP immediately upon completion of the minimum number of the Rights Issue will increase from approximately 20.17% to not more than approximately 23.45%. The EOG Group’s investment in CAP will still be accounted for as an interest in an associate using equity accounting treatment.

Upon completion of the minimum number of the Rights Issue, assuming the EOG Group subscribes for its provisional entitlement under the Rights Issue in full in accordance with the terms of the Irrevocable Undertaking:

  • (i) if none of the 87,000,000 Rights Shares are subscribed by the EOG Group under its excess application pursuant to the terms of the Irrevocable Undertaking, the EOG Group would record a loss of approximately HK$7.0 million (before deduction of the relevant expenses incurred thereon); or

– 65 –

  • (ii) if the 87,000,000 Rights Shares are subscribed in full by the EOG Group under its excess application pursuant to the terms of the Irrevocable Undertaking, the EOG Group would record a net gain (taking into account the potential loss of HK$7.0 million arising from the subscription for provisional entitlement) of approximately HK$20 million (before deduction of necessary reasonable expenses), which is calculated:

  • (a) on the basis of the audited total equity attributable to owners of CAP of approximately HK$805.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2016;

  • (b) taking into account the conversion of the 2016 Placing CN of the principal amount of HK$152 million and HK$46.2 million completed on 6 April 2017 and 19 April 2017, respectively; and

  • (c) by reference to the minimum number of the Rights Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue which is expected to generate net proceeds of approximately HK$1,010.3 million.

Such potential gain is estimated based on currently available information and is subject to the valuation of the fair value of the net identifiable assets of CAP and to CAP’s financial position as at the date of completion of the Rights Issue and is subject to the review by the auditors of EOG.

Based on the assumptions set out in this section, the EOG Group will pay a maximum amount of approximately HK$250 million for the EOG Transactions. The EOG Group will finance the payment for the EOG Transactions by way of offsetting outstanding indebtedness owed by CAP to the EOG Group under the Bonds and the 2016 EOG CN.

– 66 –

3. Very substantial acquisition for WYT

As the applicable percentage ratio(s) (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the WYT Transactions exceed 100%, the transactions contemplated under the WYT Transactions constitute a very substantial acquisition for WYT under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, and are therefore subject to the notification, publication and shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. The WYT SGM will be held to consider and, if thought fit, pass the relevant resolutions to approve, among other things, the WYT Transactions.

Financial impact on WYT of the WYT Transactions

Assuming:

  • (i) the WYT Underwriter takes up 860,000,000 Rights Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the direct interests of the WYT Group in the issued share capital of CAP immediately upon completion of the minimum number of the Rights Issue will increase from nil to approximately 32.40%. The WYT Group’s investment in CAP will be accounted for as an interest in an associate using equity accounting treatment;

  • (ii) Key High subscribes for the WYT Convertible Note in accordance with the WYT Note Subscription Agreement; and

  • (iii) none of the 2016 Placing CN and the Placing Convertible Notes are converted, except for the WYT Convertible Note are converted in full, the direct interests of the WYT Group in the issued share capital of CAP immediately upon such conversion will further increase from approximately 32.40% to approximately 38.04%.

Upon completion of the minimum of the Rights Issue and subscription of the WYT Convertible Note:

  • (i) if the WYT Underwriter is not required to subscribe for any of the 860,000,000 Rights Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the WYT Underwriter will receive approximately HK$9.68 million as commission fee; or

  • (ii) if the 860,000,000 Rights Shares are subscribed for by the WYT Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the WYT Group would record a gain of approximately HK$265.6 million (before deduction of the relevant expenses incurred thereon) and a commission income of HK$9.68 million as underwriter; or

– 67 –

  • (iii) if the 860,000,000 Rights Shares are subscribed for by the WYT Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and the conversion rights under the WYT Convertible Note are fully exercised, the WYT Group would record a gain of approximately HK$292.4 million (before deduction of the relevant expenses incurred thereon) and a commission income of HK$9.68 million as underwriter

which is calculated:

  • (a) on the basis of the audited total equity attributable to owners of CAP of approximately HK$805.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2016;

  • (b) taking into account the conversion of the 2016 Placing CN of the principal amount of HK$152 million and HK$46.2 million were completed on 6 April 2017 and 19 April 2017, respectively;

  • (c) by reference to the minimum number of the Rights Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue which is expected to generate net proceeds of approximately HK$1,010.3 million; and

  • (d) by reference to proceeds of the WYT Convertible Note of HK$140 million assuming full conversion of the WYT Convertible Note.

Such potential gain is estimated based on currently available information and is subject to the valuation of the fair value of the net identifiable assets of CAP and to CAP’s financial position as at the date of completion of the Rights Issue and is subject to the review by the auditors of WYT.

Based on the assumptions set out in this section, the WYT Group will pay a maximum amount of approximately HK$527 million for the WYT Transactions. The WYT Group will finance the payment for the WYT Transactions by way of offsetting outstanding indebtedness owed by CAP to the WYT Group under the Bonds.

4. Major Transaction for WOG

As the applicable percentage ratio(s) (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the WOG Transactions exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the transactions contemplated under the WOG Transactions constitute a major transaction for WOG under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, and are therefore subject to the notification, publication and shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules. The WOG SGM will be held to consider and, if thought fit, pass the relevant resolutions to approve, among other things, the WOG Transactions.

Financial impact on WOG of the WOG Transactions

Assuming:

  • (i) the WYT Underwriter takes up 860,000,000 Rights Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the direct interests of the WYT Group in the issued share capital of CAP immediately upon completion of the minimum number of the Rights Issue will increase from nil to approximately 32.40%. The WYT Group’s investment in CAP will be accounted for as an interest in an associate using equity accounting treatment;

  • (ii) Key High subscribes for the WYT Convertible Note in accordance with the WYT Note Subscription Agreement; and

  • (iii) none of the 2016 Placing CN and the Placing Convertible Notes are converted, except for the WYT Convertible Note are converted in full, the direct interests of the WYT Group in the issued share capital of CAP immediately upon such conversion will further increase from approximately 32.40% to approximately 38.04%.

Upon completion of the minimum of the Rights Issue and subscription of the WYT Convertible Note:

  • (i) if the WYT Underwriter is not required to subscribe for any of the 860,000,000 Rights Shares pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the WYT Underwriter will receive approximately HK$9.68 million as commission fee; or

– 69 –

  • (ii) if the 860,000,000 Rights Shares are subscribed for by the WYT Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the WOG Group, through the WYT Group, would record a gain of approximately HK$265.6 million (before deduction of the relevant expenses incurred thereon) and a commission income of HK$ 9.68 million as underwriter; or

  • (iii) the 860,000,000 Rights Shares are subscribed for by the WYT Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement and the conversion rights under the WYT Convertible Note are fully exercised, the WOG Group, through the WYT Group, would record a gain of approximately HK$292.4 million (before deduction of the relevant expenses incurred thereon) and a commission income of HK$9.68 million as underwriter

which is calculated:

  • (a) on the basis of the audited total equity attributable to owners of CAP of approximately HK$805.6 million for the year ended 31 December 2016;

  • (b) taking into account the conversion of the 2016 Placing CN of the principal amount of HK$152 million and HK$46.2 million were completed on 6 April 2017 and 19 April 2017, respectively;

  • (c) by reference to the minimum number of the Rights Shares to be issued under the Rights Issue which is expected to generate net proceeds of approximately HK$1,010.3 million; and

  • (d) by reference to proceeds of the WYT Convertible Note of HK$140 million assuming full conversion of the WYT Convertible Note.

Such potential gain is estimated based on currently available information and is subject to the valuation of the fair value of the net identifiable assets of CAP and to CAP’s financial position as at the date of completion of the Rights Issue and is subject to the review by the auditors of WOG.

Based on the assumptions set out in this section, the WYT Group will pay a maximum amount of approximately HK$527 million for the WYT Transactions. The WYT Group will finance the payment for the WYT Transactions by way of offsetting outstanding indebtedness owed by CAP to the WYT Group under the Bonds.

PART F : PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE BONDS

References are made to (i) the joint announcements issued by CAP, WOG, WYT and EOG dated 4 October 2014 and 28 November 2014 in respect of, among other things, the subscription of the Bonds issued by CAP by Winning Rich (an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of WYT (a listed 51.32%-owned subsidiary of WOG)) and Double Leads (an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of WOG); (ii) the joint announcement issued by WOG and WYT dated 8 July 2016 in respect of, among other things, the acquisition of the Bonds by Winning Rich from Double Leads; and (iii) the joint announcements issued by WOG, WYT and CAP dated 29 May 2017 in respect of the extension of the payment date for the Outstanding Interests.

On 4 July 2017, CAP entered into the Amendment Agreements with each of the holders of the Bonds (being Double Leads, Winning Rich and Peony Finance), pursuant to which the holders of the Bonds conditionally agreed that (i) the interest rate of the Bonds shall be changed from 10% to 7.5%; and (ii) the interest payment date under the Bonds shall be further extended from 31 August 2017 to 30 November 2017 in consideration for an interest calculated at the rate of 12% per annum which shall be payable on the Outstanding Interests for such extension period and the proposed use of the net proceeds from the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue to repay the Outstanding Interests and/or redemption of the Bonds. Except for the change of interest rate and the extension of payment date, all other terms and conditions of the Bonds remain unchanged. The terms of the Amendment Agreements were arrived between the parties after arm’s length negotiation.

In light of the proposed Rights Issue and the Notes Issue and the intended use of net proceeds by CAP to repay the Outstanding Interests and/or redemption of the Bonds, the EOG Directors, the WOG Directors and the WYT Directors consider that the Proposed Amendments are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the respective EOG Shareholders, WOG Shareholders and WYT Shareholders (as the case may be) as a whole.

The Executive is considering whether there are any Rule 25 implications in the proposed amendments to the terms and conditions of the Bonds.

PART G : APPLICATION FOR WHITEWASH WAIVER UNDER THE TAKEOVERS CODE AND FURTHER INFORMATION ON WYT

The Executive is concerned whether the proposed transactions set out in this joint announcement is oppressive to the minority shareholders and contrary to the General Principles of the Takeovers Code.

1. Application for the Whitewash Waiver

The Concert Group currently includes Mr. Tang, WOG, WYT and EOG and their respective associates and parties acting in concert with each of them (including the WYT Underwriter, Onger Investments and Peony Finance), which holds in aggregate 334,616,677 CAP Shares, representing approximately 20.17% of the issued share capital and voting rights of CAP and the 2016 EOG CN as of the date of this joint announcement. Other than such interests, the Concert Group does not hold or has control or direction over any other shares, rights over shares, convertible securities, warrants or options of CAP, or any outstanding derivative in respect of the securities of CAP.

WYT is a substantial shareholder of EOG holding approximately 28.51% of the issued share capital and voting rights of EOG. WOG holds 51.32% of the issued share capital and voting rights of WYT. Mr. Tang and his associates hold 51.76% of the issued share capital and voting rights of WOG. To the best knowledge and belief of the WOG Board, the WYT Board and the EOG Board, respectively, EOG does not have a controlling shareholder.

As at the date of this joint announcement, (i) Mr. Yau Yuk Shing, being a CAP Director, is a brother-in-law of Mr. Tang (who controls more than 50% of the total issued share capital of WOG and also an executive director of each of WYT and WOG); (ii) Mr. Chan Chun Hong, Thomas is an executive director of each of WOG, WYT, EOG and CAP; (iii) Mr. Cheung Wai Kai, being an executive director of EOG, is the brother-in-law of Mr. Tang; (iv) Ms. Stephanie, being an executive director of EOG, is the daughter-in-law of Mr. Tang; (v) Ms. Tang Mui Fun, being an executive director of WYT, is Mr. Tang’s younger sister; and (vi) Ms. Yau Yuk Yin, being an executive director of WOG, is Mr. Tang’s spouse. Save for the foregoing, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the respective directors after making all reasonable enquiries, CAP and its ultimate beneficial owners (other than EOG, WYT, WOG and their respective ultimate beneficial owners) are third parties independent of and not connected with each of EOG, WOG and WYT and its respective connected person(s).

– 72 –

Under the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue, assuming no CAP Shareholder other than Onger Investments (taking up Rights Shares under its provisional entitlements and its excess application) takes up any Rights Shares, only Key High takes up all its underwriting Rights Shares and fully converts the WYT Convertible Note and both the Placing Convertible Notes and the 2016 Placing CN are not converted, the voting rights in CAP held by the Concert Group will increase from approximately 20.17% to not more than 59.53%. WYT will, as a result of this acquisition of voting rights in CAP, incur an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code for all the Adjusted Shares other than those held or agreed to be acquired by the Concert Group, unless the Whitewash Waiver is granted. The grant of the Whitewash Waiver is a condition precedent to the underwriting obligations of the WYT Underwriter, which is incapable of being waived. If the Whitewash Waiver is not granted, the Underwriting Agreement will not become unconditional and the Rights Issue will not proceed, and thus the Notes Issue will not become unconditional and will not proceed.

As at the date of this joint announcement, each of WOG, WYT, EOG and CAP does not believe that the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue give rise to any concerns in relation to compliance with other applicable rules or regulations (including the Listing Rules). If a concern should arise after the release of this joint announcement, each of WOG, WYT, EOG and CAP will endeavour to resolve the matter to the satisfaction of the relevant authority as soon as possible but in any event before the despatch of the relevant whitewash circulars. Each of WOG, WYT, EOG and CAP notes that the Executive may not grant the Whitewash Waiver if the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue do not comply with other applicable rules and regulations.

WYT will make an application to the Executive for the Whitewash Waiver pursuant to Note 1 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.

Notes:

  • This scenario is for illustration purpose only and is unlikely to occur since it assumes that: (i) the CAP Independent Shareholders have voted in favour of the Rights Issue at the CAP SGM, but (ii) no Qualifying Shareholder other than Onger Investments would take up their provisional entitlements under the Rights Issue, which is a complete misalignment between the voting behaviour of the CAP Independent Shareholders and their subscription for the Rights Shares.

  • Kingston, as one of the Underwriters, shall use its best endeavours to ensure CAP shall maintain and/or meet the public float requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules immediately after completion of the Rights Issue. No conversion rights may be exercised by the Notes Holders unless immediately after exercise of such conversion rights, CAP will be able to comply with the public float requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.

The tables above are for illustration purposes only and are not intended to be exhaustive. As CAP has no control over, among other things, whether the Placing Agent will be successful in placing the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Placing Convertible Notes proposed to be issued and whether the Specific Mandate described in the section headed “5. Specific Mandate for Convertible Notes” in Part C of this joint announcement will be obtained at the CAP SGM, there are a significant number of other possible scenarios (including where only a partial conversion of the Convertible Notes and/or the 2016 Placing CN have taken place), an exhaustive list of which is beyond the scope of this joint announcement.

2. Expected Timetable

A detailed timetable will be announced as and when available.

CAP will notify the holders of the 2016 Placing CN by way of announcement regarding adjustments to be made (if any) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the 2016 Placing CN and such adjustments will be certified by an approved merchant bank or the auditors of CAP (as and when appropriate).

WARNING:

POSSIBLE REJECTION OF LISTING APPROVAL AND FAILURE OF RIGHTS ISSUE

The Rights Issue is conditional upon, among others, the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting and not having withdrawn or revoked the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Adjusted Shares and the Rights Shares (in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms) by no later than the first day of their dealings.

CAP has received negative feedback from the Listing Division of the Stock Exchange. Based on information provided to it, the Listing Division is concerned with the substantial dilution of non-subscribing minority shareholders’ interests. CAP has not yet demonstrated, to the satisfaction of the Listing Division, that the terms of the Rights Issue are fair and reasonable.

The Executive is concerned whether the proposed transactions set out in this joint announcement is oppressive to the minority shareholders and contrary to the General Principles of the Takeovers Code.

CAP Board does not share the same view in respect of the above concerns from the Stock Exchange and the Executive and is currently looking into addressing the Stock Exchange and the Executive’s concerns. Shareholders and potential investors should note that, unless CAP addresses the above concerns to the satisfaction of the Stock Exchange, the Stock Exchange will not grant listing approval to deal in the Adjusted Shares and the Rights Shares and if so the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue will not proceed and will lapse.
