SCALE-DOWN MECHANISMS OF THE RIGHTS ISSUE
As stated in the Prospectus, all applications for Rights Shares whether under the PAL(s) or the EAF(s), or by transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares, or by subscribers procured by the Underwriters (or either of them, whichever shall be appropriate) will be made on the basis that the applications are to be scaled-down by the Company to a level which (a) does not trigger an MGO Obligation on the part of the applicant or parties acting in concert with him/her/it; and/ or (b) does not result in the non-compliance of the Public Float Requirement on the part of the Company. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, after considering the allotment results of the Rights Issue, the Company is not aware of any applications for Rights Shares by any applicants which would result in either the incurring of an MGO Obligation or the non-compliance of the Public Float Requirement. Accordingly, the scaling-down mechanism has not been triggered and all the applications for Rights Shares are not required to be scaled-down by the Company.
