CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate small and mid-sized companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on the Stock Exchange. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration.

Given that the companies listed on GEM are generally small and mid-sized companies, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION; AND

(2) NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcement in relation to, among other things, the Share Consolidation. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further details of the Share Consolidation; and (ii) a notice convening the EGM.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every ten (10) issued and unissued Existing Shares of HK$0.02 each in the share capital of the Company will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of HK$0.2 each in the share capital of the Company. The Share Consolidation is conditional upon, among other things, the approval by the Shareholders by way of poll at the EGM. As none of the Shareholders or their associates

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

would have a material interest in the Share Consolidation, no Shareholder would be required to abstain from voting in favour of the resolution(s) relating to the Share Consolidation at the EGM.

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation is conditional upon:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution(s) by the Shareholders to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM;

  • (ii) the compliance with all relevant procedures and requirements under the laws of the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong (where applicable), and the GEM Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation; and

  • (iii) the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions above had been fulfilled. Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions above, the Share Consolidation will become effective on Thursday, 12 December 2024.

Effects of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$100,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Existing Shares of HK$0.02 each, of which 746,496,000 Existing Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the EGM, immediately after the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$100,000,000 divided into 500,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.2 each, of which 74,649,600 Consolidated Shares (which are fully paid or credited as fully paid) will be in issue.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Company’s articles of association. No fractional Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, if any, will be issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional entitlements of Consolidated Shares will be aggregated, and if possible, 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 Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.

Other than the relevant expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation thereof will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares which may arise and the necessary professional expenses for the implementation of the Share Consolidation.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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

BOARD LOT SIZE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing Shares were traded on the Stock Exchange in the board lot size of 8,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will continue to be 8,000 Consolidated Shares. Based on the closing price of HK$0.041 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.41 per Consolidated Share) as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date, the value of each existing board lot of the Existing Shares is HK$328 and the estimated theoretical value of each board lot of the Consolidated Shares would be HK$3,280 assuming that the Share Consolidation becomes effective.

REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION

Pursuant to Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules, where the market price of the share approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995, the Stock Exchange reserves the right to require the listed issuer to either change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of the Existing Shares. The “Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions” issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 (and updated in June 2024) has further stated that (i) market price of the share at a level less than HK$0.10 each will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules; and (ii) taking into account that the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000.

In view of the prevailing trading price of the Shares at a level below HK$0.1 and the value per board lot being substantially less than HK$2,000, the Board considers that upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, based on the closing price of HK$0.041 per Existing Share as at the Latest Practicable Date, the theoretical share price of the Company would be adjusted to HK$0.41 per Consolidated Share; and with a board lot size of 8,000 Consolidated Shares, the theoretical new board lot value would be HK$3,280, which would enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules. Further, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares. Accordingly, the Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price per board lot of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, which will reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Consolidated Shares. As a result, the Share Consolidation would not only enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the GEM Listing Rules, but would also attract more investors and hence broaden the Shareholder base.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Share Consolidation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Company nor result in change in the relative rights of the Shareholders and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for the Share Consolidation, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate action or arrangement, including share consolidation, share sub-division and capital reduction, in the next 12 months, which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Consolidation.

Saved for the placing of new shares under general mandate as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 8 November 2024, the Company does not have any concrete plan to conduct any fund raising activities in the next 12 months. However, in the event there is any change to the business environment and/or financial position of the Group due to unforeseeable circumstances, and the Company is required to conduct further fund raising exercises when suitable opportunities arise in order to support future development of the Group, the Company will publish further announcement(s) in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

Exchange of share certificates for the Consolidated Shares

Subject to the Share Consolidation having become effective, Shareholders may, during the specified period from Thursday, 12 December 2024 to Wednesday, 22 January 2025 (both days inclusive), submit the existing share certificates for the Existing Shares to the branch share registrar and transfer office of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at 17/F, Far East Finance Centre, 16 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong, in exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares. Thereafter, existing share certificates for Existing Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for new share certificates for Consolidated Shares at the expense of the Shareholders on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may be allowed by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each existing share certificate cancelled or each new share certificate issued for Consolidated Shares (whichever is higher) but are not acceptable for trading, settlement and registration purposes.

The new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be issued in yellow colour in order to distinguish them from the existing share certificates in orange colour.

Application for listing of the Consolidated Shares

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

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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 established and operated by HKSCC. None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time the Share Consolidation becomes 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 is being or is proposed to be sought.

Odd lots arrangement and matching services

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, a designated broker will be appointed by the Company to provide matching services, 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. 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 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. The Company has appointed Imperium International Securities Limited as an agent to provide matching services on a best-efforts basis regarding the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares from 9:00 a.m. on Monday, 30 December 2024 to 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 20 January 2025 (both days inclusive). Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this service should contact the dealing department of Imperium International Securities Limited at [email protected] or at telephone number: (852) 3585 8988 during office hours (i.e. 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.) of such period.

Shareholders or potential investors of the Company should note that (i) odd lots will be created after the Share Consolidation; (ii) odd lots arrangements do not guarantee successful matching of all odd lots at the relevant market price; and (iii) odd lots might be sold below the market price in the market.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

OTHER CORPORATE ACTIONS AND FUND-RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no plan or intention to carry out any further corporate actions in the next 12 months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Consolidation. Nevertheless, the Board cannot rule out the possibility that the Company will conduct debt and/or equity fund raising exercises when suitable fund-raising opportunities arise in order to support future development of the Group. The Company will make further announcement in this regard in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules as and when appropriate.
