LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The Board proposes to implement the Capital Reorganisation which comprises the following:

  • (i) the consolidation of every ten (10) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.10 each in the authorised share capital of the Company into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of HK$1.00 each in the authorised share capital of the Company;

  • (ii) the reduction of the issued share capital of the Company (a) by eliminating any fraction of a Consolidated Share in the issued share capital of the Company arising from the Share Consolidation in order to round down the total number of Consolidated Shares to a whole number; and (b) through a cancellation of the paid up capital of the Company to the extent of HK$0.99 on each of the issued Consolidated Shares such that the par value of each issued Consolidated Share will be reduced from HK$1.00 to HK$0.01;

  • (iii) the subdivision of every unissued Consolidated Share of HK$1.00 each in the authorised share capital of the Company (including the unissued Consolidated Shares resulting from the Capital Reduction) into one hundred (100) New Shares of HK$0.01 each; and

  • (iv) the transfer of the credit arising from the Capital Reduction to the Contributed Surplus Account in order to enable the application of the necessary amount in the Contributed Surplus Account in such manner as the Board may deem fit including setting off the accumulated losses of the Company in the manner permitted by the laws of Bermuda and the Bye-laws.

Effects of the Capital Reorganisation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$650,000,000 divided into 6,500,000,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.10 each, of which 3,721,561,225 Existing Shares have been issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective and assuming that no further Existing Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date until the effective date of the Capital Reorganisation, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$650,000,000 divided into 65,000,000,000 New Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each, and the issued share capital of the Company will be reduced to HK$3,721,561.22 divided into 372,156,122 New Shares in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

The credit of HK$368,434,561.28 arising from the Capital Reduction will be transferred to the Contributed Surplus Account and the Board will be authorised to utilise credits in the Contributed Surplus Account in such manner as permissible under the Bye-laws and the Companies Act, including to set off against the accumulated losses of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assuming there will be no change in the number of issued share capital of the Company from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date on which the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective, the share capital structure of the Company will be as follows:

Immediately upon Immediately after
the Share the Capital
As at the Latest Consolidation Reorganisation

Authorised share capital HK$650,000,000 HK$650,000,000 HK$650,000,000

Unissued:
Number of unissued shares 2,778,438,775 277,843,878 64,627,843,878
Existing Shares Consolidated Shares New Shares

Other than the relevant expenses, including but not limited to professional fees and printing charges to be incurred, the implementation of the Capital Reorganisation will have no material effect on the consolidated net asset value of the Group, nor will it alter the underlying assets, business, operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate shareholding interests of the Shareholders, save for any fractional New Shares which will be dealt with as described under ‘‘Fractional entitlement to the New Shares’’ below. The Board believes that the Capital Reorganisation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group or its overall net asset value.

Status of the New Shares

All New Shares in issue immediately following the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Bye-laws and the Capital Reorganisation will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional New Share which may arise.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation

The implementation of the Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon:

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

  • (ii) the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective; and

  • (iii) the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the Companies Act and the Listing Rules to effect the Capital Reorganisation, which includes publication of a notice in relation to the Capital Reduction in Bermuda in accordance with the Companies Act and the Directors being satisfied that on the date the Capital Reorganisation is to take effect, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Capital Reorganisation would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions mentioned above, the Capital Reorganisation is expected to become effective on Wednesday, 1 September 2021, being the second business day after the date of passing of the relevant resolution approving the Capital Reorganisation at the SGM. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions mentioned above has been fulfilled.

Listing Application

An application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the New Shares on the Stock Exchange, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the New 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 New 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 New Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.

None of the Existing Shares or any debt securities of the Company are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Capital Reorganisation becomes effective, the New 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 is being or is proposed to be sought.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION

Under 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 Stock Exchange reserves the right to require the issuer either to change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of its securities.

The Existing Shares have been trading below HK$0.10 and a board lot of the Existing Shares has been traded below HK$2,000. As at the Last Trading Day, the closing price of the Existing Shares was HK$0.057, with a board lot size of 5,000, and the existing board lot value was only HK$285, which was less than HK$2,000. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, based on the closing price of HK$0.057 per Existing Share as at the Last Trading Day, the share price of the Company would be adjusted to HK$0.57 per Share. With a board lot size of 5,000, the theoretical market value of each board lot would be HK$2,850. The Share Consolidation will thus enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules. In view of the prevailing trading price of the Existing Shares of HK$0.057 as at the Last Trading Day, and after weighting the potential benefits 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 and considers that it would be the most effective means to bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the proposed Rights Issue, the Company currently have no intention to carry out any corporate actions in the next twelve months, including share consolidation, share subdivision and change in board lot size, which would offset the effect of the Share Consolidation.

Furthermore, the Group has been actively reviewing from different levels and ways to enrich the development strategy of corporate sustainability and optimisation to create values. It is believed that the adjusted share price as a result of the Share Consolidation will enhance the corporate image of the Company so as to make investing in the Consolidated Shares more attractive to a broader range of investors, and the Board believes that this would be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In addition, the credit arising from the Capital Reduction will be transferred to the Contributed Surplus Account and following the Share Consolidation, the Board will be authorised to utilise credits in the Contributed Surplus Account in such manner as permissible under the Bye-laws and the Companies Act. In the event of the Board applying credit balance in the Contributed Surplus Account to set off against the accumulated losses of the Company, the Company’s capital and reserves will more closely reflect the available net assets of the Company and would give the Company a capital structure that should, subject to performance and availability of distributable reserves, permit the payment of dividends as and when the Board considers it appropriate in the future. As at 31 March 2021, the amount of the Contributed Surplus Account and the accumulated losses of the Company is HK$684,966,000 and HK$3,915,531,000 respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 1 April 2021 in relation to the fulfillment of resumption conditions and resumption of trading in the Shares (the ‘‘Resumption Announcement’’), the Company had the plan to conduct rights issue and loan capitalisation for, among other things, improvement of the financial position of the Group.

On 14 July 2021, the Company announced the Rights Issue for the gross proceeds and the net proceeds of up to approximately HK$74.43 million and HK$70 million respectively.

The maximum net proceeds of the Rights Issue do not meet the proposed amount of the rights issue as disclosed in the Resumption Announcement. Depending on the market and economic situation, the Company still considers other fund raising exercises, including but not limited to debt financing and equity financing. The Company has from time to time keep negotiating with various financial institutions on the possibility of conducting other fund raising exercises. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the disclosed, no formal agreement is entered into in relation to this matter.

The Company also proposed to conduct loan capitalisation with its creditors. Since the resumption of trading in the Shares, the Company has been in discussion with its creditors on the possibility of loan capitalisation by issue of new Shares to its creditors. As at the Latest Practicable Date, negotiation is still in progress and no formal agreement is entered into between the Company and its creditors.

The Company has taken into account the possible dilution effect of the abovementioned fund raising exercises and the loan capitalisation when determining the basis of the current proposed Share Consolidation in order to avoid the need for the Company to carry out repeated corporate actions.

It is expected that the terms of the other fund raising exercises and/or the loan capitalisation will be determined based on the then prevailing market conditions and arm’s length negotiation with the parties involved. The loan capitalisation may be conducted gradually with each of the creditors and may be completed in a certain period of time. The Company will also consider the terms and structure of the abovementioned fund raising exercises and the loan capitalisation, including but not limited to the issue price of the Shares and number of Shares to be issued, so as to ascertain the dilution effect and the benefits to the Company. As such, the Directors consider that the basis of the Share Consolidation is reasonable and sufficient.

Save for the abovementioned fund raising exercises and the loan capitalisation, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no concrete plan or intention for any fund raising exercise in the coming 12 months. However, the Company cannot rule out the possibility of conducting debt and/or equity fund raising exercises when required by business development and expansion in the future, relief of liabilities and/or suitable fund raising opportunities arise. The Company will make further announcement as and when appropriate in accordance with the Listing Rules.

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

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

BOARD LOT SIZE

Upon the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the board lot size of the New Shares for trading on the Stock Exchange will remain unchanged at 5,000 New Shares per board lot, which is the same board lot size for trading of the Existing Shares on the Stock Exchange.

OTHER ARRANGEMENT

Fractional entitlement to the New Shares

Fractional New Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation, if any, will not be issued to the Shareholders. All entitlements to fractional New Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefits of the Company.

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 New Shares.

Free exchange of share certificates

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Arrangement on odd lots trading

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the New Shares, the Company has appointed VC Brokerage Limited as the agent to provide matching service, on a best effort basis, regarding the sale and purchase of odd lots of the New Shares for a limited period of time. Shareholders should note that matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the New Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder who is in any doubt about the odd lots arrangement is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Mr. Leung of VC Brokerage Limited at 6/F, Centre Point, 181–185 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong or at telephone number (852) 2913 6716 from 9: 00 a.m. on Wednesday, 15 September 2021 to 4: 00 p.m. on Friday, 29 October 2021 (both days inclusive).

Adjustments in relation to the other securities of the Company

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company does not have any share options, derivatives, options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into any Existing Shares, Consolidated Shares or New Shares.

PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE

As disclosed in the Announcement, the Company proposes to raise up to approximately HK$74.43 million before expenses by way of the Rights Issue, by issuing up to 186,078,061 Rights Shares (assuming no Shares are issued and no repurchase of Shares on or before the Record Date) at the Subscription Price of HK$0.40 per Rights Share on the basis of one (1) Rights Share for every two (2) New Shares held on the Record Date. The Rights Issue is conditional on, among other things, the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective.

The net proceeds from the Rights Issue after deducting the expenses, which will be borne by the Company, are estimated to be not more than approximately HK$70 million. Assuming the net proceeds from the Rights Issue will amount to approximately HK$70 million, the Company intends to apply such net proceeds as to approximately (i) 20% (approximately HK$14 million) of net proceeds for the reimbursement for trade and other payables accounts, in particular with regard to long-term outstanding payables; (ii) 10% (approximately HK$7 million) of net proceeds for payment for the annual license fee for train media platform; (iii) 50% (approximately HK$35 million) of net proceeds for repayment for bank and other borrowings, in particular to settle the borrowings with close maturity date and relatively high finance costs; and (iv) the remaining 20% (approximately HK$14 million) of net proceeds for the Group’s general working capital (including but not limited to (a) the operating cashflow for business collaboration with Chun Mian Network Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.* (純免網絡科技(上海)有限公司) (as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 8 June 2021) to expand its scale of convergence media business; and (b) payment for daily operating expenses such as rental, salaries, legal and professional expenses). In the event that there is an under-subscription of the Rights Issue, the net proceeds of the Rights Issue will be utilised in proportion to the above uses. For details of the Rights Issue, please refer to the Announcement.
