LETTER FROM THE BOARD
consequential to the completion of the Bonus Shares Issue. This circular also contains the notices convening the EGM and the Class Meetings.
PROPOSED BONUS SHARES ISSUE BY CONVERSION OF CAPITAL RESERVE OF THE COMPANY
The Board has proposed the Bonus Shares Issue to the Shareholders for their consideration and approval. Holders of H Shares and A Shares whose names appear on the register of holders of H Shares and the register of holders of A Shares of the Company, respectively, on the Record Date will be entitled to the Bonus Shares Issue. Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions set out in the paragraph headed ‘‘Conditions of the Bonus Shares Issue’’ below, the Bonus Shares Issue will be made by conversion of the capital reserve of the Company and the New Shares will be distributed to the relevant Shareholders on the basis of six New Shares for every 10 existing Shares held on the Record Date.
Conditions of the Bonus Shares Issue
The Bonus Shares Issue is conditional upon the following:
-
(i) the passing of the special resolution to approve the Bonus Shares Issue and the consequential amendments to the Articles of Association as a result of the Bonus Shares Issue at the EGM and to approve the Bonus Shares Issue at the Class Meetings; and
-
(ii) approval by and/or filing at the relevant governmental or regulatory authorities of the PRC being obtained and/or completed (to the extent required under the relevant PRC laws, rules and regulations); and
-
(iii) in respect of the New H Shares, the Listing Committee of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange granting or agreeing to grant the approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New H Shares.
According to Rule 19A.38 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, except in the circumstances mentioned in Rule 13.36(2) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules (as replaced by Rule 19A.38 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules), the Directors shall obtain the approval by special resolution of the Shareholders in general meeting and the approvals by special resolution of the holders of A Shares and of the holders of the H Shares at separate class meetings conducted in accordance with the Articles of Association in respect of issue of the New Shares under the Bonus Shares Issue. As the Bonus Shares Issue does not fall within Rule 13.36(2) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules (as replaced by Rule 19A.38 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules), the Bonus Shares Issue is conditional upon, inter alia, the passing of the resolutions to approve the Bonus Shares Issue at the respective EGM and Class Meetings as mentioned above.
Basis of the Bonus Shares Issue
The Bonus Shares Issue will be made by the conversion of the capital reserve of the Company and the New Shares will be distributed to the relevant Shareholders on the basis of six New Shares, credited as fully paid, for every 10 existing Shares held by the Shareholders whose names appear on the register of holders of H Shares and register of holders of A Shares of the Company respectively on the Record Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Status of the New Shares
The New Shares will, subject to the Articles of Association, when issued, rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue. Holders of the New Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions (if any) which are declared and paid after the date on which the New Shares are allotted and issued, but will not be entitled to the dividends declared by the Company before the Record Date.
Fractional entitlements
No fractional Shares will be issued. Fractional entitlements to the New H Shares will be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional entitlements to the New A Shares will be treated in accordance with the relevant regulations of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. For details, please refer to the further announcement to be issued by the Company in the PRC in respect of the implementation of the Bonus Shares Issue (if implemented).
Effect on the shareholding after the Bonus Shares Issue.
Set out below are the shareholding structures of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and immediately upon completion of the Bonus Shares Issue (assuming that no new Shares are allotted or issued and no existing Shares are repurchased prior to the Record Date, and that the conditions set out in the paragraph headed ‘‘Conditions of the Bonus Shares Issue’’ above will be satisfied):
| A Shares – restricted A Shares – unrestricted A Shares H Shares Total |
As at the Latest Practicable Date Number of Shares % 218,640,586 41.99 175,512,966 33.71 126,500,000 24.30 520,653,552 100.00 |
Immediately after completion of the Bonus Shares Issue Number of Shares % 349,824,937 41.99 280,820,746 33.71 202,400,000 24.30 833,045,683 100.00 |
Immediately after completion of the Bonus Shares Issue Number of Shares % 349,824,937 41.99 280,820,746 33.71 202,400,000 24.30 833,045,683 100.00 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100.00 |
On the basis of a total of 312,392,131 New Shares to be issued pursuant to the Bonus Shares Issue (based on 520,653,552 Shares in issue as the Latest Practicable Date), approximately RMB312.4 million will be transferred from the Company’s capital reserve to its share capital and a total of 833,045,683 Shares will be issued. The New Shares will represent 60% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and 37.50% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the New Shares.
Record Date for the Bonus Shares Issue
Since the Company will only able to determine the Record Date after obtaining the approvals of the Shareholders at the EGM and the Class Meetings, and obtaining/completing the relevant approval by and/or filing at the relevant governmental or regulatory authorities of the PRC (to the extent required
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
under the relevant PRC laws, rules and regulations), the Company will issue a further announcement on the Record Date after the same is determined.
Overseas Shareholders
The Company confirms that as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no holders of H Shares whose addresses as shown on the register of members of the Company in respect of H Shares were located in places outside Hong Kong. Upon the Bonus Shares Issue becoming unconditional and after the Record Date is determined, the Company will consider if there are any Overseas Shareholders on the Record Date, and if there are such Overseas Shareholders, then the Company 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 for the relevant Overseas Shareholders to be eligible to take part in the Bonus Shares Issue pursuant to the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
If, after making enquiry regarding the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place and the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange for distributing New H Shares to the Overseas Shareholders, the Board is of the opinion that it would be necessary or expedient, on account either of the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place or any requirement of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange (such as filing of any registration statement or prospectus or other special formalities) in that place, not to issue the New H Shares to such Overseas Shareholders, arrangements will be made for the Bonus Shares which would otherwise be issued to such Overseas Shareholders to be sold in the market as soon as practicable after dealings in the New H Shares commence, if a premium, net of expenses, can be obtained. Any net proceeds of such sale for each Overseas Shareholder, after deduction of expenses, of HK$100 or more will be distributed in Hong Kong dollars to the relevant Overseas Shareholders, by ordinary post at their own risk, unless the amount falling to be distributed to any such person is less than HK$100 in which case it will be retained for the benefit of the Company.
The Company will issue a further announcement on whether it has any Overseas Shareholders on the Record Date after the Record Date is determined.
Share certificates
Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions of the Bonus Shares Issue as set out in the paragraph headed ‘‘Conditions of the Bonus Shares Issue’’ above, certificates in respect of the New H Shares will be sent by ordinary mail to the persons entitled thereto at their respective addresses shown in the register of holders of H Shares of the Company or in the case of joint holders, to the address of the joint holder whose name stands first in the register of holders of H Shares of the Company in respect of the joint holding. The Company will issue a separate announcement regarding the date of despatch of certificates for the New H Shares.
Application for listing
Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New H Shares. The New H Shares are not a new class of securities to be listed and accordingly no arrangements are required to be made to enable the New H Shares to be admitted into CCASS.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The A Shares are listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. Listing of the New A Shares on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange is proposed to be sought.
Save as mentioned above, no other part of the equity or debt securities of the Company is listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.
Reasons for the Bonus Shares Issue
The Board believes that the proposed Bonus Shares Issue will allow the Shareholders to participate in the growth of the Company by way of conversion of the capital reserve. In addition, it will provide the Company with a wider capital base and therefore increase the marketability of the Shares.
Proposed amendments to the Articles of Associations consequential to the Bonus Shares Issue
If the Bonus Shares Issue is approved at the EGM in the Class Meetings, the registered share capital of the Company will need to be increased upon completion of the Bonus Shares Issue and certain articles of the Articles of Association will be required to be amended to reflect the changes in the registered capital and the issued share capital as a result of Bonus Shares Issue.
The proposed amendments to the Articles of Association consequential to the Bonus Shares Issue are subject to the approval of the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the EGM, and will become effective if the Bonus Shares Issue is approved at the EGM and the Class Meetings and becomes unconditional. The details of such proposed amendments to the Articles of Association consequential to the Bonus Shares Issue are set out in the resolution numbered 2 in the notice of EGM set out on pages 11 to 12 of this circular.
Warning of risks of dealing in Shares
The Bonus Shares Issue is conditional upon the conditions set out in the paragraph headed ‘‘Conditions of the Bonus Shares Issue’’ above. Any Shareholder or other person dealing in the Shares prior to the Company having fulfilled the conditions for the Bonus Shares Issue will accordingly bear the risk that the Bonus Shares Issue cannot become unconditional and may not be able to receive the New Shares. Shareholders and potential investors should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
