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

SPECIAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

The Company does not in any way wish to diminish the opportunity available to Shareholders to exercise their rights and to vote, but is conscious of the need to protect the Shareholders from possible exposure to the COVID-19 Pandemic. For the health and safety of the Shareholders, the Company would be adapting the below arrangements for the EGM to minimise attendance in person, while still enabling Shareholders to vote and ask questions. Details of the special arrangements for the EGM are set out below.

NO PHYSICAL ATTENDANCE AT THE EGM

In light of the new regulations of Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Gathering) Regulation (Chapter 599G of the Laws of Hong Kong) and Prevention and Control of Disease (Requirements and Directions) (Business and Premises) Regulation (Chapter 599F of the Laws of Hong Kong) announced by the Government of the Hong Kong with effect from 10 February 2022, including the prohibition of the holding of physical general meetings of companies, to combat the spread of the COVID-19 Pandemic, as well as the uncertainty of the development of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the corresponding restriction measures, the EGM will be conducted virtually via electronic means (the ‘‘Virtual EGM’’). The Shareholders and/or their proxies will NOT be able to attend the Virtual EGM in person, and can only view and listen to a live webcast of the Virtual EGM via electronic means.

The Virtual EGM will be broadcasted from the EGM venue in Hong Kong (the ‘‘EGM Venue’’) and only the minimum number of persons will be physically present at the EGM Venue as is legally required to form a quorate meeting by the Directors or other senior staff members of the Company who are Shareholders or proxies. Other Directors will participate by way of electronic means.

To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND

NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

The Company has announced on 18 February 2022 regarding the proposed Share Consolidation. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information regarding the proposed Share Consolidation and the notice of EGM for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the resolution to be proposed.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Board proposes that every ten (10) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value of HK$0.1 each in the share capital of the Company.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Effect of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$50,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each, of which 1,200,000,000 Existing Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Immediately upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and assuming no further Existing Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the effective date of the Share Consolidation, the authorised share capital of the Company shall be HK$50,000,000 divided into 500,000,000 Consolidated Shares of par value of HK$0.1 each, of which 120,000,000 Consolidated Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, all the Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Memorandum and the Articles.

No fractional Consolidated Shares will be issued by the Company. Any fractional entitlements of Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and sold 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.

The implementation of the Share Consolidation will not alter the underlying assets, business operation, management or financial position of the Company and the interests and rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares which may arise.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate action or arrangement in the next 12 months which would have a contradictory effect to the Share Consolidation, and had no concrete plan to conduct any potential fund raising activity in the next 12 months. However, the Board does not 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.

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following conditions:

  1. the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Share Consolidation at the EGM;

  2. the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the Cayman Islands laws (if applicable) and the GEM Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation.

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Share Consolidation, the effective date of the Share Consolidation is expected to be on Tuesday, 12 April 2022, being one clear Business Day immediately after the date of the EGM.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the above conditions have been fulfilled.

Reasons for the Share Consolidation

Pursuant to Rule 17.76 of GEM 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 proceed with a consolidation or splitting of securities.

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 on 1 October 2020 has stated that market price of the Shares at a level less than HK$0.1 will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 17.76 of the GEM Listing Rules. By considering the closing price per share being under HK$0.1 since 22 July 2021 and the board lot size of 10,000, the value per board lot were lower than HK$1,000. Taking into account the basic transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000.

The Share Consolidation will increase the nominal value of the Shares and will reduce the total number of Shares currently in issue. As such, it is expected that the Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price of the Shares per board lot of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, which will reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Shares. It is hoped that this will make investing in the Shares more attractive to a broader range of investors, in particular to institutional investors whose house rules might otherwise prohibit or restrict trading in securities that are priced below a prescribed floor, and thus help to further broaden the shareholder base of the Company.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In determining the ratio for the Share Consolidation, the Company first considered to avoid the creation of the odd lots and also reduce the possibility of creating the fractional entitlements. With reference to the information provided by the Registrar, the shareholdings of the majority of the Shareholders registered on the Register of Members represent a multiple of five, and therefore the Company set the basis of 1 Consolidation Share for every 5 Existing Shares as the reference point. To assess the fairness and reasonableness of such ratio, the Company further considered other alternative ratios for the Share Consolidation and was of the view that (i) the ratios smaller than the 10:1 ratio (such as 5:1) would driver the expected value per board lot as at the Latest Practicable Date to less than HK$2,000, and (ii) the ratios larger than the 10:1 ratio (such as 20:1) would create more odd lots. In light of the above, the Company considered that the basis of consolidation of every 10 Existing Shares into 1 Consolidated Share is a fair and reasonable ratio for the Share Consolidation and is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. Taking into account (i) the closing price of HK$0.024 per Existing Share and the theoretical closing price of HK$0.24 per Consolidated Share on 14 March 2022 (being the Latest Practicable Date), the Share Consolidation, which was consolidation of every 10 Existing Shares into 1 Consolidated Share, would enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules and also minimise the creation of odd lots. In addition, the Board also believes that with a higher trading price of the Consolidation Shares with theoretical trading price at a level over HK$0.1 will show a more positive image of the Group and thus facilitate the proposed fund raising activities in the future.

Given the above reasons, the Board considers that the Share Consolidation is beneficial to and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has no intention to carry out other corporate action or arrangement in the next 12 months which would have a contradictory effect to the Share Consolidation, and had no concrete plan to conduct any potential fund raising activity in the next 12 months. However, the Board does not 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.

Application for the listing of the Consolidated Shares

An application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and the permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares.

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 dealing 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

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

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. 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 or 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 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.

Exchange of share certificates for the Consolidated Shares

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be on Tuesday, 12 April 2022, being one clear Business Day immediately after the date of the EGM, Shareholders may between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. on any Business Day during the period from Tuesday, 12 April 2022 to Tuesday, 24 May 2022 (both days inclusive), submit share certificates for the Existing Shares (in yellow colour) to the Registrar at Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King’s Road, North Point, Hong Kong to exchange for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares (in blue colour) at the expense of the Company.

Shareholders should note that after the prescribed time for free exchange of share certificates, a fee of HK$2.50 each (or such higher amount as may from time to time be allowed by the Stock Exchange) will be payable by the Shareholders to the Registrar for each share certificate for the Existing Shares submitted for cancellation or each new share certificate issued for the Consolidated Shares, whichever the number of share certificates involved is higher.

After 4:10 p.m. on Friday, 20 May 2022, trading will only be in Consolidated Shares which share certificates will be issued in blue colour. Existing share certificates in yellow colour for the Existing Shares will cease to be valid for trading and settlement purpose, but will remain valid and effective as documents of title.

Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares

Fractional Consolidated Shares will be disregarded and will not be issued to the Shareholders but all such fractional Consolidated Shares will be aggregated and, if possible, sold for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Existing Shares of the Company regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Arrangement on odd lot trading

In order to alleviate the difficulties arising from the existence of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company has appointed an agent to provide matching services, on a best efforts 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.

Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Suncorp Securities Limited at Room 2305, 23/F., The Center, 99 Queen’s Road Central, Central, Hong Kong (telephone number: (852) 3899 1828) from 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 28 April 2022 to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 20 May 2022 (both days inclusive).

Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that the matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Shareholders who are in any doubt about the odd lots matching arrangement are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

NO CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Existing Shares are traded on the Stock Exchange in the board lot size of 10,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will continue to be traded in board lot size of 10,000 Consolidated Shares.

ADJUSTMENTS TO SHARE OPTIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are outstanding 100,000,000 share options which are convertible into 100,000,000 Existing Shares, upon exercise of the respective conversion rights attaching thereto.

Save as aforesaid, the Company does not have any other derivatives, options, warrants and conversion rights or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme, the Share Consolidation will cause adjustments (‘‘Adjustment’’) to the respective conversion prices of the outstanding share options and the number of new Shares to be issued upon the exercise of the share options as follows.
