REASONS FOR FURTHER DELAY IN PAYMENT DATE OF FINAL
DIVIDEND
As a result of the following unforeseen events since the May Announcement, the Company has to further delay the payment of the Final Dividend in order to maintain sufficient level of cashflow for its daily operation:
- as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 1 July 2019, on 27 June 2019, the Company as first defendant received a writ of summons issued in the Court of First Instance of the High Court of Hong Kong by Prosper Talent Limited as a plaintiff in relation to US$95,383,187.40 due and outstanding under a note purchase agreement. Such negative news had a devastating impact on the Group's effort in implementing its cashflow improvement plan referred to in the April Announcement as it has:
- weakened the bargaining power of the Group on tightening the time for collection of trade receivables from customers;
- weakened the bargaining power of the Group on negotiating for a longer credit periods from suppliers; and
- triggered the credit tightening mechanism of the existing banking facilities taken out by Shenzhen Lead.
As a result, the Group had experienced unexpected constraints of operating cashflow.
- reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 11 July 2019 and 8 November 2019 in relation to the possible subscription under Rule 3.2 of the Takeovers Code. The negotiation in respect of the possible subscription is still in progress and no formal or legally binding agreement for the possible subscription has been entered into between the Proposed Subscriber and the Company as at the date of this announcement.
- as disclosed in the interim results announcement of the Company dated 30 August 2019, the Group had recorded a net loss of approximately RMB514,214,000 and a negative net operating cashflow of approximately RMB36.7 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019. The unfavourable operating results continued in the second half of 2019 with no obvious sign of turning around.

In order to further improve the liquidity of the Company so as to finance the payment of the Final Dividend, since the May Announcement and up to the date of this announcement, the Company had been under active negotiation with a potential investor in relation to the possible issuance of convertible bonds. Such negotiation is still in progress as at the date of this announcement.
Based on the information currently available, the Company does not expect there will be any further postponement of the payment of the Final Dividend.
By order of the Board
