LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration for the Subscription

The consideration for the Subscription is HK$40,000,000 (based on the Exchange Rate, equivalent to approximately RMB32,786,900), which shall be used to set off HK$40,000,000 (based on the Exchange Rate, equivalent to approximately RMB32,786,900) from the Claimed Amount on a dollar-for-dollar basis. It shall not be necessary for the Subscriber to pay any money to the Company for the Subscription. Accordingly, there will not be any proceeds from the Subscription.

Subscription Completion

Subject to the fulfilment (or waiver, if applicable) of the conditions precedent as set out in the Subscription Agreement, the Subscription Completion shall take place on the Subscription Completion Date. Upon the Subscription Completion or within the shortest period of time after the Subscription Completion, the Company shall register Yulong Shenzhen as the holder of the Convertible Bonds in full in the Company’s bond register.

Principal Terms of the Convertible Bonds

Set out below are the principal terms of the Convertible Bonds:

Issuer : The Company Principal amount : HK$40,000,000 Maturity date : The date which falls on the first anniversary of the First Issue Date (the “ Maturity Date ”). Interest : The Convertible Bonds shall not bear any interest whatsoever. Conversion Price : HK$0.35 per Conversion Share, subject to adjustment as described in the paragraph headed “Adjustment to the Conversion Price” below.

The initial Conversion Price of HK$0.35 represents:

  • (i) a premium of approximately 18.64% over the closing price of HK$0.295 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) a premium of approximately 4.48% over the closing price of HK$0.335 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Subscription Agreement;

  • (iii) a premium of approximately 3.86% over the average closing price of HK$0.337 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement; and

  • (iv) a premium of approximately 5.11% over the average closing price of HK$0.333 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement.

The initial Conversion Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Subscription Parties with reference to, among others, the prevailing market price of the Shares. The Directors consider that the initial Conversion Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In determining the initial Conversion Price, the Directors have also considered the market price of the Shares traded on the Stock Exchange in the past three months prior to and including the date of entering into of the Subscription Agreement (the “ Relevant Period ”) as a benchmark to reflect the prevailing market conditions and recent market sentiment. During the Relevant Period, the Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange with an average closing price of HK$0.3275 per Share. The initial Conversion Price of HK$0.35 per Share represents a premium of approximately 6.87% over the average closing price of HK$0.3275 per Share. The Directors consider that the Relevant Period is appropriate in providing a reasonable reference for the prevailing market price of the Share taking into consideration of (i) placing of new shares of the Company under general mandate which had been announced on 28 January 2022 and completed on 21 February 2022, respectively; and (ii) the outbreak of the fifth wave of COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong since January 2022, which have shown the impact on the movement of the stock price of the Share. Accordingly, the Relevant Period is considered to be appropriate, fair and reasonable for determining the initial Conversion Price. As the Company has recorded an unaudited net liabilities of HK$554,599,000 as at 30 September 2021 from its interim report and the net asset value per Share would be negative, the Directors consider that it would be more appropriate to determine the initial Conversion Price with reference to the prevailing market prices of the Shares which have reflected the fair market value of the Shares traded on the Stock Exchange.

Adjustment to the : Conversion Price

The initial Conversion Price shall be adjusted if there is an alteration to the par value of the Shares as a result of consolidation, subdivision or reclassification, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately prior to such alteration by the following fraction:

==> picture [9 x 8] intentionally omitted <==

B

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

where

A is the par value of each Share immediately after such alteration; and

B is the par value of each Share immediately before such alteration.

Such adjustment shall become effective from the day on which such consolidation, subdivision or reclassification becomes effective.

Conversion Shares : In the case of the Conversion Rights having been exercised in full, a maximum of 114,285,714 Conversion Shares will be allotted and issued by the Company, representing:

  • (i) approximately 19.43% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (ii) approximately 16.27% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares (assuming there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company from the date of the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of full conversion of the Convertible Bonds).

The aggregate nominal value of the Conversion Shares will be HK$1,142,857.14.

Conversion period : The period commencing from the First Issue Date and ending on the date which is 30 days prior to the Maturity Date (both days inclusive) (the “ Conversion Period ”).

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION

References are made to the Announcements. As disclosed in the Announcements, the Company will issue the Convertible Bonds and transfer the 20% of the paid-up equity interests of ShenZhen ZiJun to Yulong Shenzhen to settle the Claimed Amount and will provide an opportunity to establish long-term strategic alliance and business collaboration between the Company and Yulong Shenzhen.

The consideration of the Subscription in the sum of HK$40,000,000 (based on the Exchange Rate, equivalent to approximately RMB32,786,900) and the consideration of the Disposal in the sum of RMB20,000,000 (with reference to the Exchange Rate, equivalent to approximately HK$24,400,000), amounts to approximately RMB52,786,900 in aggregate, shall be used to set off part of the Claimed Amount on a dollar-for-dollar basis. There will not be any proceeds to be received from the Subscription and the Disposal.

Upon the Subscription Completion and the Disposal Completion, the difference of approximately RMB27,213,100 between the Claimed Amount of RMB80,000,000 and the aggregate amount of the consideration of the Subscription and the Disposal of approximately RMB52,786,900 shall not be required to pay and the obligations of the Company in relation to the Arbitral Award shall be settled and discharged fully and finally, arising from or in relation to the proceedings in the High Court and/or the Arbitral Award pursuant to the Settlement Agreement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company expected that upon the Disposal Completion and the Subscription Completion, the Company will have the opportunities to integrate its multi-media digital advertising and marketing platform with the online shopping trend in duty-free e-commerce industry through the diversified marketing approach. The Company also has a plan to launch a mobile application for the train media duty-free e-commerce, whereby synergies with the mobile business of Yulong Shenzhen’s group can be developed and created.

In addition, the Buyback Right allows the Company to retain its right to buy back the Sale Shares in consideration of the financial performance and the business development situation of the Target Company in the future. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to exercise the Buyback Right.

As disclosed in the interim report of the Company for the six month ended 30 September 2021, the bank balances and cash was HK$5,742,000, representing only 5.08% of the total assets of the Company. With the bank and other borrowings amounted to HK$326,822,000, the Company would rather consider to utilise the cash to repay some of the bank and other borrowings, in particular to settle the borrowings with close maturity date and relatively high finance costs. Therefore, the settlement by way of the Subscription and the Disposal will relieve the cash outflow of the Company.

Prior to the entering into of the Subscription Agreement and the Share Agreement, in order to settle the Arbitral Award, the Company had considered the settlement by way of issuing new Shares but it would lead to an immediate dilution effect to the existing Shareholders. The Company also considered the method of rights issue/open offer. But in light of the size of the Claimed Amount which is more than 50% of the average of the market capitalisation of the Company during the Relevant Period, it would be a heavy burden on the Shareholders and the results might not be optimistic. In addition, the Company considered that it would be difficult to seek an underwriter to fully underwrite the Claimed Amount under the prevailing market conditions and market sentiment. On the other hand, the Company had also considered the settlement by way of paying cash but it would definitely drag down the financial condition of the Company. Furthermore, debt financing would inevitably increase the finance cost to the Company. Therefore, the combination of the Subscription and the Disposal is considered as an appropriate solution for the settlement of the Arbitral Award. Besides, the Disposal will provide an opportunity to establish long-term strategic alliance and business collaboration between the Company and Yulong Shenzhen mainly in the multi-media technologies business and e-commerce business of the Group. The Company expected that the Group will have the opportunities to integrate its multi-media digital advertising and marketing platform with the online shopping trend in duty-free e-commerce industry through the diversified marketing approach.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given (i) the Share Agreement will provide the opportunities for the Group to have long-term strategic alliance and business collaboration with Yulong Shenzhen; (ii) the aggregate amount under the Subscription Agreement and the Share Agreement is approximately RMB52.79 million, which is approximately 34% lower than the Claimed Amount; (iii) the Subscription and the Disposal will relieve the cash outflow of the Company compared with the payment of the Claimed Amount after taking into consideration of the financial position of the Group and the size of the Claimed Amount; and (iv) the Company may expand its shareholders base upon exercising the Conversion Rights, the Directors consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement and the Share Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 1 April 2021, the Company proposed to conduct rights issue and loan capitalisation. On 7 October 2021, the rights issue on the basis of one rights share for every two Shares was completed. The Company is still in discussion with its creditors in relation to possible loan capitalisation. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there is no concrete terms for loan capitalisation and/or plan for other fund raising exercises. However, the Directors will not rule out any possibility, subject to the market condition and market sentiment, to propose further fund raising exercises to cater for the needs of the Group in the future. The Company will make further announcement(s) in this regard in accordance with the Listing Rules as and when appropriate. In future, the Company will consider whether it would be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders before conducting any corporate actions.
