PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every four

  1. issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value HK$0.01 each in the share capital of the Company will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value HK$0.04 each in the share capital of the Company.

The Share Consolidation is conditional upon, among other things, the approval by the Shareholders at the EGM. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Share Consolidation and as such, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in favour of the resolution(s) relating to the Share Consolidation at the EGM.

The Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in board lot size of 20,000 Existing Shares. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will continue to be traded in board lot size of 20,000 Consolidated Shares.

GENERAL

The EGM will be convened and held for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Share Consolidation.

A circular containing, among other matters, (i) further details of the Share Consolidation; and (ii) a notice of the EGM and related proxy form, shall be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 16 October 2020.

PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Board proposes to put forward a proposal to the Shareholders to effect the Share Consolidation pursuant to which every four (4) issued and unissued Existing Shares of par value HK$0.01 each will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of par value HK$0.04 each.

Effects of the Share Consolidation

As at the date of this announcement, the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$100,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Existing Shares of par value of HK$0.01 each, of which 2,880,000,000 Existing Shares have been allotted and issued as fully paid or credited as fully paid. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and assuming that no Existing Shares are repurchased or issued from the date hereof until the effective date of the Share Consolidation, the authorised share capital of the Company shall become HK$100,000,000 divided into 2,500,000,000 Consolidated Shares of par value HK$0.04 each, of which 720,000,000 Consolidated Shares will be in issue.

The Company has no outstanding options, warrants or securities in issue which are convertible or exchangeable into the Existing Shares as at the date of this announcement.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares shall rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Company's articles of association.

Other than the expenses to be incurred, 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 that any fractional Consolidated Shares will not be allocated to Shareholders who may otherwise be entitled.

As at the date of this announcement, 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.

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The Share Consolidation is conditional upon the following:

  1. the passing of an ordinary resolution to approve the Share Consolidation by the Shareholders at the EGM;
  2. the 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
  3. the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under the applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the 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, 24 November 2020, being the second Business Day after the EGM.

Application for listing of the Consolidated Shares

Application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

Subject to the granting of the approval of 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, upon the Share Consolidation being effective, 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 dealings in the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange or, under contingent situation, 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. The Consolidated Shares will be identical in all respects and rank pari passu in all respects with each other as to all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS established and operated by HKSCC.

None of the securities of the Company is 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.

Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares

Fractional Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, 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 benefits 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 existing share certificates held by such holder.

No change in board lot size

As of the date of this announcement, the Shares are currently traded on the Stock Exchange in board lot size of 20,000 Existing Shares. The existing board lot size of 20,000 Shares will remain unchanged upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective. The value of the current board lot, based on the closing price of HK$0.06 per Existing Share at the date of this announcement, is HK$1,200. Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the expected value of each board lot of 20,000 Consolidated Shares, based solely on the closing price of HK$0.06 per Existing Share as at the date of this announcement (equivalent to the theoretical closing price of HK$0.24 per Consolidated Share as at the date of this announcement), is expected to be HK$4,800.

Odd lots arrangements and matching services

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots (if any) of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation, the Company will appoint an agent to arrange for matching services, on a best effort basis, to the 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 from Tuesday, 8 December 2020 to Tuesday, 29 December 2020 (both days inclusive).

Shareholders should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares is not guaranteed. Any Shareholder who is in any doubt about the odd lot trading arrangement is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.

Further details of the odd lot trading arrangement will be set out in the circular to be despatched to the Shareholders.

Exchange of share certificates

Subject to the Share Consolidation becoming effective, which is currently expected to be on 24 November 2020, the Shareholders may during the period from Tuesday, 24 November 2020 to Monday, 4 January 2021 (both days inclusive), submit existing share certificates for the Existing Shares (in the colour of blue) to the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road

- 4 -

East, Hong Kong, in exchange, at the expense of the Company, for the exchange of new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares (in the colour of pink). Thereafter, share certificates for 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 certificates cancelled/issued is higher. The existing share certificates will only be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes for the period up to 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, 29 December 2020 and thereafter will not be accepted for delivery, trading and settlement purposes. However, the existing share certificates will continue to be good evidence of title to the Consolidated Shares on the basis of four (4) Existing Shares for one

(1) Consolidated Share.

REASONS FOR THE SHARE CONSOLIDATION

Pursuant to Rule 13.64 of the 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. According to 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 30 August 2019, (i) any trading price less than HK$0.10 will be considered as approaching the extremities of HK$0.01 as referred to under Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules; and (ii) taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade, the expected board lot value should be greater than HK$2,000.

In view that the Shares had been traded at below HK$0.10 during the past 12 months (based on the closing price per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange) and the value per board lot being less than HK$2,000, the Board proposes to implement the Share Consolidation in order for the Company to comply with the trading requirements under the Listing Rules. It is expected that the Share Consolidation would bring 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 Shares and may attract more investors, and therefore broaden the shareholder base of the Company.

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