The Board is pleased to announce that after the Stock Exchange trading hours on 28 August 2020, the Company entered into the Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent, pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to place through the Placing Agent, on a best effort basis during the Placing Period, up to 400,000,000 Placing Shares to independent Placees at the Placing Price of HK$0.10 per Placing Share.

The Placing Agent has also undertaken to the Company that without prejudice to the Placing on best efforts basis, it will and/or will procure its agent to place out not less than 250,000,000 Placing Shares successfully in any event. The Placing Agent has also agreed that should the total number of Placing Shares to be placed out by it successfully fall below 250,000,000 Placing Shares, the Company shall have the absolute right to terminate the Placing Agreement.

Assuming that there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company from the date of this announcement to completion of the Placing, (A) the 250,000,000 Placing Shares represent (i) approximately 6.04% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 5.69% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of such Placing Shares; and (B) the maximum number of 400,000,000 Placing Shares represents (i) approximately 9.66% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 8.81% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of such Placing Shares.

- 1 -

The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued under the General Mandate granted to the Directors at the 2019 AGM. An application will be made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares.

The maximum amount of net proceeds to be received by the Company from the Placing, after deducting related fees and expenses, are estimated to be approximately HK$39 million. The Company intends to apply such net proceeds for increasing the amount of procurement of inventories for the Group's medical equipment and consumables distribution and service business and as general working capital of the Group.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that completion of the Placing is subject to fulfilment of the condition under the Placing Agreement. As the Placing may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

The Board is pleased to announce that after the Stock Exchange trading hours on 28 August 2020, the Company entered into the Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent to conduct the Placing, details of which are set out below.

THE PLACING AGREEMENT

Date

28 August 2020

Parties

  1. The Company; and
  2. the Placing Agent.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the Placing Agent and its ultimate beneficial owner are third parties independent of, and not connected with, the Company and its connected persons. The Placing Agent is a corporation licensed under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the laws of Hong Kong) to conduct type 1 (dealing in securities) and type 4 (advising on securities) regulated activities.

The Placing

The Company has conditionally agreed to place through the Placing Agent, on a best effort basis during the Placing Period, up to 400,000,000 Placing Shares to independent Placees at the Placing Price.

- 2 -

The Placing Agent has also undertaken to the Company that without prejudice to the Placing on best efforts basis, it will and/or will procure its agent to place out not less than 250,000,000 Placing Shares successfully in any event. The Placing Agent has agreed that should the total number of Placing Shares to be placed out by it successfully fall below 250,000,000 Placing Shares, the Company shall have the absolute right to terminate the Placing Agreement and thereafter all liabilities of the parties under the Placing Agreement shall cease and determine and no party to the Placing Agreement shall have any claim against the other party in respect of any matter or thing arising out of or in connection with the Placing Agreement save in respect of any antecedent breach of any obligation under the Placing Agreement.

The Placing Price

The Placing Price of HK$0.10 per Placing Share represents:

  1. a premium of approximately 66.67% over the closing price of HK$0.060 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Placing Agreement;
  2. a premium of approximately 85.19% over the closing price of HK$0.054 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  3. a premium of approximately 78.57% over the average of the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.056 per Share;
  4. a premium of approximately 68.92% over the average of the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.0592 per Share; and
  5. a premium of approximately 400% over the equity attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$0.02 per Share (calculated based on the audited equity attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$97.0 million as at 31 March 2020 and 4,139,947,634 Shares in issue as at that date).

The Placing Price was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent based on the par value of the Shares, and having taken into account the prevailing market prices of the Shares and the net asset value per Share attributable to owners of the Company. The Directors consider that the terms and condition of the Placing Agreement (including the Placing Price) are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Placing Shares

Assuming that there is no other change in the issued share capital of the Company from the date of this announcement to completion of the Placing, (A) the 250,000,000 Placing Shares represent

  1. approximately 6.04% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 5.69% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of such Placing Shares; and (B) the maximum number of 400,000,000 Placing Shares represents (i) approximately 9.66% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 8.81% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of such Placing Shares. The aggregate nominal value of the 250,000,000 Placing Shares is HK$25 million and the maximum number of 400,000,000 Placing Shares is HK$40 million.

The Placing Shares shall rank pari passu among themselves and with the Shares in issue as at the date of the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares.

The Placees

The Placing Agent shall place the Placing Shares to not less than six Placees who are individuals, corporates and/or institutional investors. The Placing Agent shall use its best endeavours to ensure that the Placees and their ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons or are not acting in concert with any of them. It is also expected that no individual Placee shall become a substantial Shareholder immediately after completion of the Placing.

Placing commission

The Placing Agent will receive a placing commission of 2% on the gross proceeds of the Placing Shares which are successfully placed by the Placing Agent. The commission rate was arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent with reference to market practices.

- 4 -

Condition

The Placing is conditional upon the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting a listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares.

In the event the aforesaid condition is not fulfilled by 25 September 2020 (or such later date as may be agreed by the Placing Agent and the Company in writing), all rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties under the Placing Agreement shall cease and determine and neither party shall have any claim against the other save for any antecedent breaches.

Completion

Completion of the Placing shall take place on the fourth Business Day after the fulfilment of the condition set out in the Placing Agreement (or such other date as the Company and the Placing Agent may agree in writing).

General Mandate to issue the Placing Shares

The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued under the General Mandate granted to the Directors at the 2019 AGM.

Under the General Mandate, a maximum of 827,989,526 new Shares may be allotted and issued by the Company. Up to the date of this announcement, the Company has not issued any Shares pursuant to the General Mandate. Accordingly, the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares is not subject to the approval of the Shareholders.

Application for listing

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

Termination of the Placing Agreement

The Placing Agent may in its reasonable opinion, after consultation with the Company, terminate the Placing Agreement by notice in writing to the Company at any time up to 8:00 a.m. on the date of completion of the Placing if:

  1. there is any change in national, international, financial, exchange control, political or economic conditions in Hong Kong which in the reasonable opinion of the Placing Agent would be materially adverse in the consummation of the Placing; or

  3. there is any material change (whether or not forming part of a series of changes) in market conditions which in the reasonable opinion of the Placing Agent would materially and prejudicially affect the Placing or makes it inadvisable or inexpedient for the Placing to proceed; or
  4. any statement contained in all announcements, circulars, interim and annual reports issued by the Company to the Stock Exchange and/or the Shareholders since the publication of the annual report of the Company relating to the annual results of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2020 has become or been discovered to be untrue, incorrect or misleading in any material respect which in the opinion of the Placing Agent would be materially adverse in the consummation of the Placing.

The Company may, in its reasonable opinion, terminate the Placing Agreement by notice in writing to the Placing Agent at any time up to 8:00 a.m. on the date of completion of the Placing if the total number of Placing Shares to be placed out successfully by the Placing Agent is less than 250,000,000 Placing Shares, or if there is a breach of the warranties, representations and undertakings given by the Placing Agent in the Placing Agreement and such breach is considered by the Company on reasonable grounds to be material.

Upon termination of the Placing Agreement, all liabilities of the parties thereunder shall cease and determine and no party shall have any claim against the other party in respect of any matter or thing arising out of or in connection with the Placing Agreement save in respect of any antecedent breach of any obligation under the Placing Agreement.

EQUITY FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES OF THE COMPANY IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS

The Company has not undertaken any equity fund raising exercise over the period of twelve months prior to the date of this announcement.

REASONS FOR THE PLACING AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in the distribution and service in medical equipment and consumables, provision of hospital operation and management service and business factoring.

As mentioned in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 March 2020, with the continuous social and economic development, urbanisation and huge ageing population in Mainland China, the medical and healthcare industry has shown a diversified and continuous growth in recent years. The Company considers there is huge market potential and prospects for the Group to expand its businesses. In the near future, the Group will continue to invest more resources to further expand the distribution network and gradually increase the diversity of products for its medical equipment and consumables distribution and service business in order to capture the market opportunities. The Directors consider that the Placing represents an opportunity to raise capital for the Company's continuous business development while broadening its shareholder and capital base, and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Assuming that all Placing Shares are fully placed out, the estimated gross proceeds and net proceeds (after deducting the placing commission and other related expenses and professional fees) from the Placing shall amount to approximately HK$40 million and approximately HK$39 million respectively. The net Placing Price is approximately HK$0.0975 per Placing Share. The Company intends to apply approximately HK$28 million of the net proceeds for increasing the amount of procurement of inventories for the Group's medical equipment and consumables distribution and service business and the balance of the net proceeds of approximately HK$11 million for general working capital of the Group. In the event that the actual net proceeds raised upon completion of the Placing is less than HK$39 million, the Company will first reduce the net proceeds to be applied for increasing the amount of procurement of inventories by the corresponding shortfall. For instance, if only 250,000,000 Placing Shares are successfully placed out, the gross proceeds and the estimated net proceeds will be approximately HK$25 million and HK$24.3 million respectively, and the net proceeds will be applied as to approximately HK$13.3 million for increasing the amount of procurement of inventories and the balance of approximately HK$11 million for general working capital of the Group.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that completion of the Placing is subject to fulfilment of the condition under the Placing Agreement. As the Placing may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
