CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM
GEM has been positioned as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a higher investment risk may be attached than other companies listed on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. 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. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.
Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to high market volatility than securities traded on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

letter from the board
Parties
-
(i) The Company, as the issuer; and
-
(ii) Kingston Securities Limited, as the placing agent.
Placing agent
The Placing Agent has conditionally agreed to place a maximum number of 400,000,000 Placing Shares by a maximum of four tranches (in which each tranche shall not be less than 100,000,000 Placing Shares, save for the last tranche), on a best efforts basis, to independent Placees. As the placing commission of 2.0% under the Placing Agreement is at prevailing market rate, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the placing commission is fair and reasonable.
The Placing Agent and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of, and not connected with the Company or its subsidiaries or any of its respective associates.
Placees
The Placing Agent agreed to place the Placing Shares to not fewer than six Placees who and whose ultimate beneficial owners will be independent of and not be connected persons of the Company and its connected persons. It is expected that none of the Placees will become a substantial Shareholder (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) immediately after the completion of the relevant tranche of the Placing.
Placing Price
The Placing Price of HK$0.10 represents:
-
(i) a discount of approximately 55.56% to the closing price of HK$0.225 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange at the date of the Announcement;
-
(ii) a discount of approximately 55.56% to the average of the closing prices per Share of approximately HK$0.225 for the last five consecutive trading days prior to the date of the Announcement; and
-
(iii) a discount of approximately 58.16% to the average of the closing prices per Share of approximately HK$0.239 for the last ten consecutive trading days prior to the date of the Announcement; and
-
(iv) a discount of approximately 54.55% to the closing price of HK$0.220 on the Latest Practicable Date.
-
4 -
letter from the board
The Placing Price was determined after taking into account (a) the previous financial results and the current financial position of the Company; and (b) the market risks assumed by the Placing Agent and any Placees thereunder, on account of the fact that the Placing is subject to and cannot be completed until the approval by the Shareholders is obtained at the SGM. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Placing are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable as the Company can broaden its Shareholders’ base. As such, the Placing is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The net price for each Placing Share will be approximately HK$0.098.
Placing Shares
Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, a maximum number of 400,000,000 Placing Shares will be placed by the Placing Agent by a maximum of four tranches (in which each tranche shall not be less than 100,000,000 Placing Shares, save for the last tranche) to independent Placees on a best efforts basis, representing (i) approximately 539.90% of the Company’s existing issued share capital of the Company of 74,088,260 Shares in issue as at the date of the Latest Practicable Date; (ii) approximately 84.37% of its issued share capital as enlarged by the Placing Shares upon completion of the Placing. The maximum aggregate nominal value of the 400,000,000 Placing Shares to be issued under the Placing Agreement will be HK$4,000,000.
The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued under a specific mandate to be obtained at the SGM.
The Placing Shares will rank, when allotted and issued, pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Placing Shares.

-

-
(c) the obligation of the Placing Agent under the Placing Agreement becoming unconditional and not being terminated in accordance with the terms thereof, including provision regarding force majeure events; and
