CHARACTERISTICS OF GEM

Characteristics of the Growth Enterprise Market (“GEM”) of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Exchange”).

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. 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 and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM.

To the Shareholders of the Company

Dear Sir/Madam,

PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION AND NOTICE OF SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

Reference is made to the announcement issued by the Company dated 3 August 2010 in relation to the Capital Reorganisation.

The purpose of this circular is to give details of (i) the Capital Reorganisation; and (ii) the notice convening the SGM.

CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The Directors propose to implement the Capital Reorganisation which involves:

  • 5 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(i) Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation will involve the consolidation of every ten (10) issued and unissued Shares of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$0.10 each. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$300,000,000 divided into 30,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each. Immediately after the Share Consolidation, the authorised share capital of the Company will be HK$300,000,000 divided into 3,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.10 each. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 3,563,341,300 Shares of HK$0.01 each in issue and fully paid. On the basis of such issued share capital, there will be 356,334,130 Consolidated Shares of HK$0.10 each in issue once the Share Consolidation becomes effective. The Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other.

(ii) Capital Reduction

The Capital Reduction will involve the reduction of (i) the issued share capital of the Company by cancelling the paid-up capital of the Company to the extent of HK$0.09 on each of the then issued Consolidated Shares such that the nominal value of each issued Consolidated Share will be reduced from HK$0.10 to HK$0.01 (the “ Issued Capital Reduction ”); and (ii) the authorised share capital of the Company by reducing the nominal value of all Consolidated Shares from HK$0.10 each to HK$0.01 each resulting in the reduction of the authorised share capital of the Company from HK$300,000,000 divided into 3,000,000,000 Consolidated Shares to HK$30,000,000 divided into 3,000,000,000 Reorganised Shares of HK$0.01 each.

The credit arising from the Issued Capital Reduction will be transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company which may be applied in such manner as permitted by the laws of Bermuda and the Bye-Laws, such as distribution out of contributed surplus to the shareholders.

(iii) Capital Increase

The Capital Increase will involve the increase of authorised share capital from HK$30,000,000 divided into 3,000,000,000 Reorganised Shares of HK$0.01 each to HK$300,000,000 divided into 30,000,000,000 Reorganised Shares of HK$0.01 each.

The Capital Reorganisation is conditional upon fulfillment of certain conditions as more particularly described in the paragraphs headed “Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation” below.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effects of the Capital Reorganisation

Based on the Company’s existing authorised share capital of HK$300,000,000, represented by 30,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.01 each and the existing issued share capital of HK$35,633,413, represented by 3,563,341,300 Shares of HK$0.01 each, upon completion of the Capital Reorganisation, the authorised share capital of the Company will remain at HK$300,000,000 represented by 30,000,000,000 Reorganised Shares of HK$0.01 each, and the issued share capital will be HK$3,563,341.30 represented by 356,334,130 Reorganised Shares of HK$0.01 each. Immediately after the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, the Reorganised Shares will be traded in board lots of 20,000 Reorganised Shares. Any fraction of Reorganised Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation will be aggregated and sold (if a premium, net of expenses, can be obtained) for the benefit of the Company. The Reorganised Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other.

The effect of the Capital Reorganisation is summarised below:

Immediately following

(Note)

Note: The issued share capital immediately after the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective is presented on the assumption that no further Shares would be issued or repurchased between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of the SGM.

Based on 3,563,341,300 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, a credit of approximately HK$32,070,071.70 will arise as a result of the Capital Reorganisation and will be transferred to the contributed surplus account of the Company.

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Implementation of the Capital Reorganisation will not, of itself, alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests of the Shareholders, except for the payment of the related expenses. The Board believes that the Capital Reorganisation will not have any adverse effect on the financial position of the Group and the Board believes that on the date the Capital Reorganisation is to be effected, there will be 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. No capital will be lost as a result of the Capital Reorganisation and, except for the expenses involved in relation to the Capital Reorganisation which is expected to be insignificant in the context of the net asset value of the Company, the net asset value of the Company will remain unchanged before and after the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective. The Capital Reorganisation does not involve any diminution of any liability in respect of any unpaid capital of the Company or the repayment to the Shareholders of any paid-up capital of the Company nor will it result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders.

Conditions of the Capital Reorganisation

The Capital Reorganisation (which will be effected in accordance with the Bye-Laws and the Companies Act) is conditional upon:

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

  • (b) the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Reorganised Shares in issue arising from the Capital Reorganisation;

  • (c) the compliance with the requirements of section 46(2) of the Companies Act, including (i) publication of a notice in relation to the Capital Reduction in an appointed newspaper in Bermuda on a date not more than thirty days and not less than fifteen days before the date on which the Capital Reduction is to take effect; and (ii) that on the date on which the Capital Reduction is to be effected, there are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Capital Reduction would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; and

  • (d) the obtaining of all necessary approvals from the regulatory authorities or otherwise as may be required in respect of the Capital Reorganisation. Assuming the above conditions are fulfilled, it is expected that the Capital Reorganisation will become effective from 9:30 a.m. on 9 September 2010.

  • Whereas certain items of the Capital Reorganisation may be resolved by way of ordinary resolution, pursuant to the Bye-laws of the Company, a special resolution shall be effective for any purpose for which an ordinary resolution is expressed to be required under any provision of the Bye-Laws.

The legal advisers to the Company as to Bermuda law have confirmed that, subject to the conditions of the Capital Reorganisation as set out above being satisfied, the Capital Reorganisation will be in compliance with the laws of Bermuda.

  • 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Listing and Dealings

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Reorganised Shares arising from the Capital Reorganisation. The Reorganised Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu in all respects with each other as to all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid. Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Reorganised Shares on the Stock Exchange, the Reorganised 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 Reorganised 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 trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time.

Fractional Reorganised Shares and odd lot trading arrangement

Fractional Reorganised Shares, if any, will not be issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional entitlements of the Reorganised Shares will be aggregated and sold for the benefit of the Company.

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots, if any, of the Reorganised Shares, the Company will appoint Fortune (HK) Securities Limited to provide a matching service, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Reorganised Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Reorganised Shares from Friday, 24 September 2010 to Friday, 15 October 2010 (both days inclusive). Shareholders of odd lots of the Reorganised Shares may contact Mr. Raymond Kwok of Fortune (HK) Securities Limited (telephone number: 3189 2184) during the aforesaid period. Shareholders should note that matching arrangements of odd lots of Reorganised Shares is on a best effort basis and successful matching of the sale and purchase of such odd lots is not guaranteed. The Company will bear the costs relating to the matching arrangements of odd lots of the Reorganised Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Free exchange of Share certificates

Subject to the Capital Reorganisation becoming effective, Shareholders may submit existing certificates for Shares to the Registrar from Thursday, 9 September 2010 to Tuesday, 19 October 2010 (both dates inclusive) to exchange, at the expense of the Company, for certificates for the Reorganised Shares in board lot of 20,000 Reorganised Shares. Thereafter, certificates for the 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) for each share certificate of the Shares cancelled or each new share certificate issued for the Reorganised Shares, whichever number of certificates cancelled/issued is higher. Nevertheless, certificates for the Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title but will no longer be valid for dealings, trading and settlement purposes after the Capital Reorganisation has become effective and may be exchanged for certificates for the Reorganised Shares at any time in accordance with the foregoing.

The new share certificates will be in the colour of pink in order to distinguish them from the existing share certificates which are red in colour.

REASONS FOR THE CAPITAL REORGANISATION AND CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE OF THE COMPANY

Given that the Capital Reorganisation will (a) increase the trading price per board lot and hence reduce the overall transaction and handling costs for dealing in the Reorganised Shares; and (b) result in a smaller number of Reorganised Shares and hence reduce the operating costs of the Company, the Directors are of the view that the Capital Reorganisation is fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

SGM

The notice convening the SGM is set out on pages 12 to 13 of this circular for the purpose of considering and, if though fit, passing the special resolution set out therein.

A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed. Whether or not you are able to attend and vote at the SGM, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy to the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar, Tricor Standard Limited. at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as practicable but in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be).
