To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED SHARE SUBDIVISION

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with the relevant information, amongst other things, regarding the Share Subdivision and to give you a notice of the SGM at which ordinary resolutions will be proposed to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Share Subdivision.

PROPOSED SHARE SUBDIVISION

The Board proposes that each of the existing issued and unissued Share of par value of HK$0.10 each in the share capital of the Company be subdivided into four (4) Subdivided Shares of par value of HK$0.025 each.

5

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the authorised share capital of the Company was HK$100,000,000 divided into 1,000,000,000 Shares of HK$0.10 each, of which 151,404,130 Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$100,000,000 divided into 4,000,000,000 Subdivided Shares of HK$0.025 each, of which 605,616,520 Subdivided Shares will be in issue and fully paid or credited as fully paid, assuming that no further Shares are allotted, issued or repurchased prior to the Share Subdivision becoming effective.

The Shares are currently traded in board lots of 5,000 Shares. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the board lot size will remain unchanged and in board lots of 5,000 Subdivided Shares. The Share Subdivision is not expected to result in any odd lots other than those already exist. Upon the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the Subdivided Shares will rank pari passu with each other in all respects.

Conditions of the Share Subdivision

The Share Subdivision is conditional upon the following:

  • (i) the passing of an ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM to approve the Share Subdivision; and

  • (ii) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares arising from the Share Subdivision.

Assuming all the conditions are fulfilled, the Share Subdivision will become effective on the next Business Day following the passing of the ordinary resolution as specified therein, which is expected to be 25 June 2015.

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the grant of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares arising from the Share Subdivision.

Subject to the granting of listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subdivided Shares arising from the Share Subdivision, the Subdivided 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 Subdivided 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.

No part of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in, nor is listing or permission to deal in the securities of the Company being proposed to be sought, on any other stock exchange.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Reasons for the Share Subdivision

Upon the proposed Share Subdivision becoming effective, the par value of each share will decrease and the total number of shares in issue will increase. The Share Subdivision will result in a downward adjustment to the trading price of the shares of the Company. The Board expects that the Subdivision will theoretically result in proportionate reduction of the market price per Subdivision Share and thus may improve liquidity of the Subdivided Shares. Further, the Board is of the view that the Share Subdivision will enable the Company to attract more investors and broaden its shareholders’ base.

Save for the expenses to be incurred by the Company in relation to the Share Subdivision, the implementation of the Shares Subdivision will not, by itself, alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or the financial position of the Company or the proportionate interest of the Shareholders. The Board considers that the Share Subdivision is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Exchange of Share Certificates

Subject to the Share Subdivision becoming effective, the Shareholders can submit their existing certificates for the Shares in pink colour to the Company’s share registrar, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, in exchange for the new share certificates for the Subdivided Shares in green colour free of charge between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on any Business Day from Thursday, 25 June 2015 to Monday, 3 August 2015 (both days inclusive). After the expiry of such period, existing 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 specified by the Stock Exchange) for each existing share certificate cancelled or each new share certificate issued (whichever number of share certificates involved is higher). It is expected that the new share certificates for the Subdivided Shares will be available for collection within a period of ten (10) Business Days after submission of the existing share certificates for the Shares to Tricor Tengis Limited for exchange.

The existing certificates will only be valid for trading purpose for the period up to 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 30 July 2015 and for delivery and settlement purposes for the period up to 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 3 August 2015, and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purpose. However, the existing certificates for the Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for certificates for Subdivided Shares on the basis of one (1) Share for four (4) Subdivided Shares.

Expected Timetable

The expected timetable for the proposed Share Subdivision is set out on pages 3 to 4 of this circular.

SGM

A notice convening the SGM is set out on pages 9 to 10 of this circular.

No Shareholders are required to abstain from voting at the SGM on the resolutions in relation to the Share Subdivision.

7

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes at the SGM will be taken by poll and the Company will announce the results of the poll in the manner set out in rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for use at the SGM is enclosed. Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at the SGM or any adjourned meeting (as the case may be) in person, you are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the Company’s Branch Share Registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited, at Level 22, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish and in such event, the proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors believe that the proposed Share Subdivision is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and therefore recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to approve the Share Subdivision.

RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

This circular, for which the Directors collectively and individually accept full responsibility, includes particulars given in compliance with the Listing Rules for the purpose of giving information with regard to the Company. The Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in this circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement herein or this circular misleading.

Yours faithfully, By order of the Board
