To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
(1) PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION (2) PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE AND
(3) NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
As disclosed in the Announcement, the Company proposed to implement the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size involving: (i) consolidation of every ten (10) Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each in the issued and unissued share capital of the Company into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.10 each in the issued and unissued share capital of the Company subject to, among other things, approval by the Shareholders at the SGM; and (ii) change in board lot size of the Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange from 25,000 Existing Shares to 5,000 Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
– 5 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with further information regarding, among other things, (a) the Share Consolidation; (b) the Change in Board Lot Size; and (c) the notice of SGM.
PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION
The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every ten (10) Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each in the issued and unissued share capital of the Company be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.10 each in the issued and unissued share capital of the Company.
Effect of the Share Consolidation
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$650,000,000 divided into 65,000,000,000 Existing Shares of HK$0.01 each, of which 35,225,130,641 Existing Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming no further Shares will be allotted, issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the SGM, immediately after the Share Consolidation becoming effective and assuming no Shares will be allotted, issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the SGM, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$650,000,000 divided into 6,500,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.10 each, of which 3,522,513,064 Consolidated Shares (which are fully paid or credited as fully paid) will be in issue.
Conditions of the Share Consolidation
The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
-
(a) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders approving the Share Consolidation at the SGM;
-
(b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and
-
(c) the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions above had been fulfilled.
Status of the Consolidated Shares
Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other and the Share Consolidation will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Listing application
Application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.
Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, the Consolidated 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 Consolidated 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. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS. The Share Consolidation will be conducted in accordance with the Bye-laws.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, no other securities of the Company are listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal in is being or is proposed to be sought.
PROPOSED CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing Shares are currently traded in board lot size of 25,000 Existing Shares. The Board proposes that, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size of the Consolidated Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange will be changed to 5,000 Consolidated Shares.
Based on the closing price of HK$0.067 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical price of HK$0.67 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the value of each board lot of 25,000 Existing Shares is HK$1,675; (ii) the value of each board lot of 25,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$16,750 assuming the Share Consolidation had become effective; and (iii) the value of each board lot of 5,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$3,350 assuming that the Change of Board Lot Size had also been effective.
The Change in Board Lot Size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND THE CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE
Pursuant to Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of an issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the issuer may be required either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities.
The highest and lowest prices per Share at which the Shares have been traded on the Stock Exchange during each of the preceding six months and up to the Latest Practicable Date were as follows:
| Month | Highest | Lowest |
|---|---|---|
| January | HK$0.175 | HK$0.102 |
| February | HK$0.166 | HK$0.133 |
| March | HK$0.160 | HK$0.110 |
| April | HK$0.125 | HK$0.066 |
| May | HK$0.094 | HK$0.060 |
| June | HK$0.084 | HK$0.065 |
| July (up to and including the Latest Practicable Date) | HK$0.085 | HK$0.060 |
In view of the recent trading price of the Shares and after weighing the potential benefits and the immediate effect of the Share Consolidation on increasing the trading price per Share and the minimal expenses involved in the Share Consolidation, the Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation. The Share Consolidation will enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules. Furthermore, the proposed Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares and will reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. As such, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will be an effective and practical means to bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Shares. Further, it is expected that the adjusted share price of the Company upon the completion of the Share Consolidation would reduce unnecessary volatility of share trading, as when the share price is too low, it would be prone to speculative trading by the market.
The Shares are included in the MSCI Hong Kong Micro Cap Index, which is known to be tracked by many institutional investors. Further, it is the Board’s intention to expand the shareholders’ portfolio of the Company by attracting a wide spread of institutional investors with a view to support the on-going and long-term development of the Company. The Board considers that the increase in nominal value of the Shares upon the Share Consolidation would be more favourable in the eyes of the investors (including institutional investors) in the market and thus enhancing the feasibility of future equity fund raising activities of the Company. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will become an acceptable investment alternative for institutional investors. Accordingly, it would in turn broaden the Company’s shareholder base by further building an institutional investor base for the Company and support the Company’s ongoing and long-term development and business expansion. The proposed Share
– 8 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Consolidation is one of the means that the Company considers appropriate in further building its institutional investor base, which aligns with the Company’s on-going development strategy in the long-term by regular communication with potential investor(s) to capture any potential investment opportunities from time to time.
The Company has a defined financing strategy, which it considers to be essential for the continuity of the Group’s business over the long run. The Company has devoted significant effort to maintain a constant flow of capital and a certain level of liquidity to enable access to finance options. Further, the Company is constantly looking to optimize its capital structure to meet its obligations and financing needs. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has been engaging in discussions with various banks to arrange longterm financing for the Group’s mobile technologies business, though no concrete proposal or plan has been formulated. Whilst the proposed Share Consolidation represents one of the means to enhance the feasibility of future equity fund raising activities of the Company for such purpose, in the event that the proposed Share Consolidation does not materialize, the Company will continue with its continuous effort in seeking other ways for long-term financing to support its business expansion.
The proposed Change in Board Lot Size from 25,000 Existing Shares to 5,000 Consolidated Shares (upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective) will also reduce the board lot value of the Consolidated Shares after the Share Consolidation. The Board considers that the Change in Board Lot Size would offer the public a reasonable entry level to invest in the Consolidated Shares. Based on the closing price of HK$0.067 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical price of HK$0.67 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the value of each board lot of 25,000 Existing Shares is HK$1,675; (ii) the value of each board lot of 25,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$16,750 assuming the Share Consolidation had become effective; and (iii) the value of each board lot of 5,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$3,350 assuming that the Change of Board Lot Size had also been effective. The Board considers that the Change in Board Lot Size will maintain the trading value for each board lot at a reasonable level to attract investors and therefore result in higher liquidity of the Consolidated Shares. Further, as the theoretical market value of each new board lot of the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective will be higher than the market value of each existing board lot of the Existing Shares, the transaction cost as a proportion of the market value of each board lot will be lower. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size are beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Company hereby confirms that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, it has no intention for equity fund raising or to carry out any corporate action or arrangement that may affect the trading in the Shares, including share consolidation, share subdivision and change in board lot size, in the next 12 months.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Save for the necessary expenses for the implementation of the Share Consolidation which are expected to be insignificant in the context of the net asset value of the Company, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operation, management or financial position of the Company or the interests and rights of the Shareholders.
OTHER ARRANGEMENTS
Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares
Fractional Consolidated Shares will not be issued by the Company to Shareholders. Any fractional entitlement to the Consolidated Shares will be aggregated, sold and retained for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Existing Shares regardless of the number of existing Share certificates held by such holder.
Shareholders concerned about losing out on any fractional entitlement are recommended to consult their licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant or other professional adviser and may wish to consider the possibility of buying or selling Existing Shares in a number sufficient to make up an entitlement to receive a whole number of Consolidated Shares.
Odd lot trading arrangement
In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size, the Company has appointed Core Pacific — Yamaichi International (H.K.) Limited to provide matching service regarding the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares at the relevant market price per Consolidated Share for Shareholders, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares, during the period from Friday, 17 August 2018 to Thursday, 6 September 2018 (both days inclusive). Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares may contact Mr. Dennis Choi of Core Pacific — Yamaichi International (H.K.) Limited at 11/F, China Resources Building, 26 Harbour Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong at (852) 2166 3335 during office hours in the aforesaid period.
Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares are not guaranteed. If any Shareholder is in doubt about the odd lot trading arrangement, such Shareholder should consult his/her/its own professional advisers.
Exchange of Share certificates
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be on Friday, 3 August 2018, being the Business Day immediately after the date of the SGM. Shareholders may during the business hours from Friday, 3 August 2018 to Monday, 10 September 2018 (both dates inclusive) submit their Share certificates in brown colour for

Shareholders should note that after the prescribed time for free exchange of Share certificates, certificates of 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) by the Shareholders for exchange of Share certificates.
Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, with effect from after 4: 00 p.m. on Thursday, 6 September 2018, trading will only be effected in the Consolidated Shares, the Share certificates of which will be issued in light blue colour. The existing Share certificates in brown colour for the Existing Shares will cease to be valid for trading and settlement purpose, but will remain valid and effective as documents of title.
Adjustments in relation to other securities of the Company
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no outstanding options, warrants or other securities in issue which are convertible into or giving rights to subscribe for, convert or exchange into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares, as the case may be.
