PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE GENERAL MEETING

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread (as per guidelines issued by the Hong Kong Government at https://www.chp. gov.hk/en/features/102742.html), the Company will implement necessary preventive measures at the General Meeting to protect attending Shareholders, proxy and other attendees from the risk of infection, including:

  1. Compulsory body temperature check will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendees at the entrance of the venue of the General Meeting. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.3 degrees Celsius, or who exhibits flu-like symptoms or is subject to any Hong Kong Government prescribed quarantine may be denied entry into the venue of the General Meeting or be required to leave the venue of the General Meeting.
  2. Attendees are required to prepare their own surgical face masks and wear the same inside the venue of the General Meeting at all times, and to maintain an appropriate social distance with others (including queuing for registration). Please note that no mask will be provided.
  3. No distribution of corporate gifts and no serving of drinks or refreshments.
  4. Seats at the venue of the General Meeting will be arranged to ensure appropriate social distancing. As a result, there will be limited capacity for attendees. Seats will be limited at the General Meeting and will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.

To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the venue of the General Meeting or require any person to leave the venue of the General Meeting in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the General Meeting.

In the interest of all attendees' health and safety, the Company wishes to advise all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the General Meeting is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions duly completed, Shareholders may appoint the chairman of the General Meeting as their proxy to vote on the resolutions at the General Meeting instead of attending the General Meeting in person.

The proxy form, which can also be downloaded from the Company's website (http://www.continental.com.hk), is enclosed with this circular. If you are not a registered Shareholder (i.e., if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited), you should consult directly with your banks or brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

Subject to the development of the novel coronavirus in Hong Kong, the Company may implement further precautionary measures, and issue further announcement(s) on such measures as and when appropriate.

Dear Sir or Madam,

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

AND

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 16 April 2021 in respect of the proposed Share Consolidation. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with details of the proposed Share Consolidation as well as to give you the notice of the General Meeting to be convened.

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every ten (10) issued Existing Shares be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share.

Effects of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 6,831,182,580 Existing Shares in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming no Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date and up to the effective date of the Share Consolidation, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, there will be 683,118,258 Consolidated Shares in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other.

Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation of the Share Consolidation will have no effect on the consolidated net asset value of the Group, nor alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the proportionate interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which Shareholders may otherwise be entitled.

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 General Meeting;
  2. the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and
  3. the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the Hong Kong laws (where applicable) and the Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation.

The Share Consolidation is expected to become effective on 31 May 2021, being the second Business Day after the General Meeting, subject to the fulfilment of the above conditions.

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Listing application

An application has been 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 listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, the Consolidated Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by the HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by the 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. 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 are listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange and at the time the Share Consolidation becoming 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. Other than the Stock Exchange, no equity or debt securities of the Company are listed or dealt in on any other stock exchange on which listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

OTHER ARRANGEMENTS

Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares

Fractional Consolidated Shares, if any, 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 regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.

Shareholders who are concerned about losing out on any fractional entitlement are recommended to consult their licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant or other professional adviser and may wish to consider the possibility of buying or selling Existing Shares in a number sufficient to make up an entitlement to receive a whole number of Consolidated Shares.

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Odd lots trading arrangement

To facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares, the Company will appoint a designated broker as an agent to provide matching service, on a best effort 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 either to dispose of their odd lots of the Consolidated Shares or top up to a full board lot may, directly or through their brokers, contact Mr. Kelvin Li or Mr. Adrian Lin of Lego Securities Limited at Room 301, 3/F, China Building, 29 Queen's Road Central, Hong Kong or by phone at (852) 3188 8055 or (852) 3188 8052 during office hours.

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 trading arrangement are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

Exchange of share certificates

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be on 31 May 2021, Shareholders may, on or after 31 May 2021 and until 8 July 2021 (both days inclusive) and during business hours, submit their existing share certificates in red colour for the Existing Shares to the Company's share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, in exchange for new share certificates in yellow colour for the Consolidated Shares at the expenses of the Company.

Thereafter, share certificates of the Existing Shares will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such other amount as may from time to time be specified by the Stock Exchange) by the Shareholders 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 cancelled/issued is higher.

After 4:10 p.m. on 6 July 2021, trading will only be in Consolidated Shares which share certificates will be issued in yellow colour and existing share certificates in red colour for the Existing Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares on the basis of ten (10) Shares for one (1) Consolidated Share at any time but will cease to be valid for delivery, trading, registration and settlement purposes.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

NO CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The Existing Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in board lot size of 10,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the board lot size for trading in the Consolidated Shares will remain unchanged at 10,000 Consolidated Shares per board lot.

Based on the closing price of HK$0.048 per Existing Share (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.48 per Consolidated Share) as at the Latest Practicable Date, (i) the value per board lot of 10,000 Existing Shares is HK$480; and (ii) the value per board lot of 10,000 Consolidated Shares would be HK$4,800 on the assumption that the Share Consolidation becomes effective.

REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION

Pursuant to Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules, where the market price of the Existing Shares approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the Stock Exchange reserves the right to require the Company to either change the trading method or to proceed with a consolidation or splitting of the Existing Shares. 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 further stated that (i) market price of the Existing Shares at a level less than HK$0.10 each will be considered as trading at extremity as referred to under Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules; and (ii) taking into account that the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected value per board lot should be greater than HK$2,000.

Over the past 12 months, the existing board lot value of the Company has been constantly less than HK$2,000 and the Existing Shares has been trading at a closing price below HK$0.1. The Board considers that the proposed Share Consolidation, resulting in a theoretical value of HK$0.48 per Consolidated Share (based on the closing price of HK$0.048 per Existing Share as at the Latest Practicable Date), would enable the Company to avoid the occurrence of non-compliance with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules. The Share Consolidation will bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price per board lot of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange, which will reduce the overall transaction and handling costs of dealings in the Consolidated Shares. As a result, the Share Consolidation would not only enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules, but would also attract more investors and hence broaden the Shareholder base.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board believes that the Share Consolidation will not have any material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group nor result in change in the relative rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares to which Shareholders may otherwise be entitled.

In view of the above considerations, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation is 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 actions in the next 12 months which may have an effect of undermining or negating the intended purpose of the Share Consolidation, and the Company does not have any concrete plan to conduct any fundraising activities in the next 12 months.

GENERAL MEETING

A notice convening the General Meeting to be held at Function Rooms 2 & 3, 3/F, The Mira Hong Kong, 118 Nathan Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong on Thursday, 27 May 2021 at 11:00 a.m. at which ordinary solution will be proposed to the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Share Consolidation, details of which are set out on pages GM-1 to GM-3 of this circular. Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, the resolution at the General Meeting shall be taken by way of poll and an announcement will be made by the Company on the results of the General Meeting.

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution(s) proposed to consider and approve the Share Consolidation at the General Meeting.

A form of proxy for use at the General Meeting is also enclosed. Whether or not you intend to attend the General Meeting, you are requested to complete and return the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon to the Company's share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong, as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the General Meeting (i.e. 25 May 2021 at 11:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time)) or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the General Meeting or any adjournment thereof in person if you so wish, and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.
