RIGHTS ISSUE ON THE BASIS OF ONE (1) RIGHTS SHARE FOR EVERY TWO (2) SHARES HELD ON THE RECORD DATE ON A NON-UNDERWRITTEN BASIS

Placing Agent

Crosby Securities Limited

Capitalised terms used on this cover page shall have the same meanings as those defined in the section headed "Definitions" in this prospectus.

The Rights Issue is on a non-underwritten basis. Pursuant to the Companies Act, the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance and the Listing Rules, there is no requirement for a minimum level of subscription in the Rights Issue. The Rights Issue is subject to fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue as set out in the section headed "Conditions of the Rights Issue" in the "Letter from the Board" on page 22 of this prospectus at or prior to the latest time for the Rights Issue to become unconditional (which is currently expected to be 6:00 p.m. on Monday, 2 March 2020). The conditions include but are not limited to the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in their nil-paid and fully-paid forms.

If the conditions of the Rights Issue are not fulfilled on or prior to the latest time for the Rights Issue to become unconditional, the rights Issue will not proceed. Dealings in the Shares have been on an ex-rights basis from Wednesday, 29 January 2020. Dealings in the nil-paid rights will take place from Wednesday, 12 February 2020 to Wednesday, 19 February 2020 (both dates inclusive).

Any Shareholders or other persons contemplating selling or purchasing Shares and/or nil-paid rights up to the latest time when the conditions of the Rights Issue are fulfilled (which is expected to be 6:00 p.m. on Monday, 2 March 2020) will accordingly bear the risk that the Rights Issue may not become unconditional and may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the Shares and/or the nil-paid rights, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they are recommended to consult their professional advisers.

The latest time for acceptance and payment for the Rights Shares is 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 24 February 2020.

The procedures for acceptance and transfer of the Rights Shares are set out in the section headed "Procedures for acceptance and payment or transfer" in the "Letter from the Board" on pages 15 to 16 of this prospectus.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The aggregate number of nil-paid Rights Shares proposed to be provisionally allotted pursuant to the terms of the Rights Issue represents 50.00% of the total number of Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and will represent approximately 33.33% of the Shares in issue as enlarged by the Rights Issue assuming no further issue of new Share(s) other than the Rights Shares and no repurchase of Share(s) on or before completion of the Rights Issue.

The Company has not received any information or irrevocable undertaking from any substantial shareholder of the Company of their intention in relation to the Rights Shares to be allotted to them under the Rights Issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price of HK$0.20 per Rights Share is payable in full when a Qualifying Shareholder accepts the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares accepts the provisional allotment of the relevant Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

  1. a discount of approximately 6.98% to the closing price of HK$0.215 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  2. a discount of approximately 13.42% to the average of the closing prices of Shares for the five consecutive trading days ended on the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.231 per Share;

  6. a dilution effect of approximately 6.99% to the existing Shareholders if they elect not to/cannot participate in the Rights Issue. The theoretical dilution effect is calculated according to Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules and refers to the discount of the theoretical diluted price (as defined in note 1(a) and (c) under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of HK$0.5618 to the benchmarked price (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of HK$0.6040.

- 13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Subscription Price was determined with reference to, among other things, the then recent market prices of the Shares, the then market conditions, and the amount of funds the Company intends to raise under the Rights Issue.

At the Board Meeting, six Directors (Mr. Jaime Che, Dr. Chen Yanping, Mr. Lo Wing Yat, Mr. Chan Yuk Tong, Mr. Fei Tai Hung and Mr. Tse Kam Fow) voted for and two Directors (Mr. Cao Zhong and Mr. Huang Tan) voted against the Rights Issue. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors but excluding the two Directors, Mr. Cao Zhong and Mr. Huang Tan, who voted against the Rights Issue at the Board Meeting) consider that the terms of the Rights Issue, including the Subscription Price, are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Basis of provisional allotments

The basis of the provisional allotment shall be one (1) Rights Share for every two (2) Shares held by a Qualifying Shareholder as at the close of business on the Record Date.

Application for all or any part of a Qualifying Shareholder's provisional allotment should be made by completing a PAL and lodging the same with a remittance for the Rights Shares being applied for with the Registrar on or before 4:00 p.m. on the Final Acceptance Date.

If a Qualifying Shareholder wishes to accept only a part of, or to renounce or transfer a part of their rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares provisionally allotted to him/her/it under the PAL, such Qualifying Shareholders will need to split his/her/its PAL into the denominations required. Details of how to split PALs are set out in the section headed "Procedures for acceptance and payment or transfer" in this "Letter from the Board" on pages 15 to 16 of this prospectus.

Qualifying Shareholder(s)

To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must be registered as a member of the Company and not be an Excluded Shareholder on the Record Date.

Qualifying Shareholders who take up their pro-rata entitlements in full will not suffer any dilution to their interests in the Company (except in relation to any dilution resulting from the taking up by third parties of any Rights Shares arising from the aggregation of fractional entitlements). If a Qualifying Shareholder does not take up any of his/her/its entitlement in full under the Rights Issue, his/her/its proportionate shareholding in the Company will be diluted.

- 14 -

It should be noted that unless the PAL, together with the appropriate remittance, have been lodged with the Registrar by not later than 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 24 February 2020, whether by the original allottee or any person in whose favour the rights have been validly transferred, that provisional allotment and all rights thereunder will be deemed to have been declined and will be cancelled. The Company may, at its sole absolute discretion, treat a PAL as valid and binding on the person(s) by whom or on whose behalf it is lodged even if the PAL is not completed in accordance with the relevant instructions. The Company may require the relevant person(s) to complete the incomplete PAL at a later stage.

If the Qualifying Shareholders wish to accept only part of their provisional allotment or transfer part of their rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares provisionally allotted to them under the PAL or to transfer part or all of their rights to more than one person, the entire PAL must be surrendered and lodged for cancellation by not later than 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 14 February 2020 to the Registrar, who will cancel the original PAL and issue new PALs in the denominations required which will be available for collection from the Registrar at Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong, after 9:00 a.m. on the second Business Day following the surrender of the original PAL. This process is commonly referred to as "splitting" of nil-paid rights. It should be noted that Hong Kong stamp duty is payable in connection with a transfer of rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares.

If a Qualifying Shareholder wishes to transfer all of his/her/its nil-paid Rights Shares under the PAL(s) (or a split PAL(s), as the case may be) to another person, he/she/it should complete and sign Form B in the PAL(s) and hand the PAL(s) to the person to or through whom he/she/it is transferring his/her/its nil-paid rights. The transferee must then complete and sign Form C in the PAL(s) and lodge the PAL(s) intact together with a remittance for the full amount payable on acceptance with the Registrar to effect the transfer by no later than 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 24 February 2020. It should be noted that Hong Kong stamp duty is payable in connection with the transfer of your rights to subscribe for the relevant Rights Shares and the transferee(s) of such rights.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Registrar will determine the eligibility for the cash compensation as derived from the lapsed PALs after the completion of the re-registration for all re-registration requests received by the Registrar on or before the latest time for acceptance of and payment for Rights Shares and by all means before the announcement of the number of Unsubscribed Rights Shares subject to the compensatory arrangement is posted on the Stock Exchange's website and the Company's website. The Registrar will notify the transferee(s) of any unsuccessful re-registration as soon as practicable.

The Company reserves the right to refuse to register any transfer in favour of any person in respect of which the Company believes such transfer may violate applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

The PAL contains the full information regarding the procedures to be followed for Qualifying Shareholders who wish to: (i) accept their provisional allotment in full; (ii) accept only part of their provisional allotment; or (iii) renounce/transfer all or part of their provisional allotment to other party/parties. Qualifying Shareholders are advised to study the procedures set out in the PAL carefully. If any of the conditions of the Rights Issue as set out in the section headed "Conditions of the Rights Issue" in this "Letter from the Board" on page 22 of this prospectus is not fulfilled at or before 6:00 p.m. on Monday, 2 March 2020, the Rights Issue will not proceed. Under such circumstances, the monies received in respect of application for the Rights Shares will be returned to the relevant applicants or, in the case of joint applicants, to the first-named person without interest, by means of cheques despatched by ordinary post at the risk of such Qualifying Shareholders to their registered addresses by the Registrar on or before Wednesday, 4 March 2020. No receipt will be given for such remittance.

Cheques and banker's cashier orders

All cheques and banker's cashier orders will be presented for payment upon receipt and all interests earned on such monies (if any) will be retained for the benefit of the Company. Completion and lodgement of a PAL together with a cheque or banker's cashier order in payment of the Rights Shares applied for will constitute a warranty that the cheque or banker's cashier order will be honoured upon first presentation. If any cheque or banker's cashier order is not honoured upon first presentation, the PAL (as the case may be) is liable to be rejected and/or deemed invalid by the Company in its absolute discretion, and in the case of an acceptance of a Qualifying Shareholder's assured entitlement all such assured entitlement and all rights thereunder will be deemed to have been declined and will be cancelled.

Beneficial owners' instructions to their Intermediary

For beneficial owners whose Shares are deposited in CCASS and registered in the name of HKSCC Nominees Limited, if they wish to subscribe for the Rights Shares provisionally allotted to them, or sell their nil-paid Rights Shares or "split" their nil-paid rights by accepting part of their provisional allotment and selling/transferring the remaining part, they should contact their Intermediary and provide their Intermediary with instructions or make arrangements with their Intermediary in relation to the acceptance, transfer and/or "splitting" of the rights to subscribe for the Rights Shares which have been provisionally allotted to them in respect of the Shares in which they are

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

beneficially interested. Such instructions and the relevant arrangements should be given or made in advance of the relevant dates stated in the "Expected Timetable" on pages 6 to 8 of this prospectus and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of their Intermediary in order to allow their Intermediary sufficient time to ensure that their instructions are given effect. The procedures for acceptance, transfer and/or "splitting" in these cases shall be in accordance with the General Rules of CCASS, the CCASS Operational Procedures and any other applicable requirements of CCASS.

Excluded Shareholder(s)

The Prospectus Documents will not be registered or filed under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong. Overseas Shareholders may not be eligible to take part in the Rights Issue as explained below.

Based on the register of members of the Company on the Record Date, there are Overseas Shareholders situated in the British Virgin Islands, Malaysia, the PRC, Republic of Seychelles, the United States and United Kingdom. The Directors have, in compliance with Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules, sought legal advice regarding any legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange.

Based on the legal advice provided by the legal advisers on the laws of the British Virgin Islands, Malaysia, the PRC, Republic of Seychelles and United Kingdom, the Directors are of the view that the Rights Shares can be offered to the Overseas Shareholders in these jurisdictions as there are no legal restrictions or there are exemptions on the offering of the Rights Shares to these Overseas Shareholders.

Based on the legal advice provided by the legal advisers on the laws of the United States, the Directors are of the opinion that it would be expedient to exclude Overseas Shareholder(s) in the United States from the Rights Issue due to legal restrictions under the relevant laws of the United States. Accordingly, no Rights Shares (whether in nil-paid or fully-paid form) will be offered to such Overseas Shareholder(s).

The Company will send the prospectus and the overseas letter to the Excluded Shareholders for their information only.

It is the responsibility of the Shareholders (including the Overseas Shareholders) to observe the local legal and regulatory requirements applicable to them for taking up and onward sale (if applicable) of the Rights Shares.

Any acceptance of the offer of the Rights Shares by any person by way of completion or return to the Registrar of a PAL will be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty from such person to the Company that the applicable local laws and requirements have been fully complied with. Such persons should consult their professional advisers if in doubt.

For the avoidance of doubt, neither HKSCC nor HKSCC Nominees Limited is subject to the representations and warranties provisions above.

- 17 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company reserves the right to refuse to accept any application for Rights Shares where it believes that doing so may violate applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this prospectus or the PAL, the Company reserves the right to permit any Shareholder to take up his/her/its rights if the Company, in its absolute discretion, is satisfied that the transaction in question is exempt from or not subject to the legislation or regulations giving rise to the restrictions in question.

Arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares, which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Excluded Shareholders in their nil-paid form, to be sold in the market as soon as practicable after dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares commence, and in any event before the last day for dealings in nil-paid Rights Shares if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. Proceeds of each sale, less expenses and stamp duty, of not less than HK$100 will be paid pro-rata (rounded down to the nearest cent) to the relevant Excluded Shareholder(s) in Hong Kong dollars. The Company will retain individual amount of less than HK$100 for its own benefit.

Any unsold entitlements of the Excluded Shareholders will be placed by the Placing Agent under the Placing Agreement together with Rights Shares that are not being taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders.

Net Gain (if any) will be paid pro-rata (but rounded down to the nearest cent) to the relevant No Action Shareholders according to their shareholdings held on the Record Date in Hong Kong dollars on the basis of all Unsubscribed Rights Shares. The Company will retain individual amounts of less than HK$100 for its own benefit.

For the nil-paid Rights Shares that were sold in the market by the Company and the buyer of such nil-paid Rights Shares who will not take up the entitlement, such Unsubscribed Rights Shares will be subject to the Unsubscribed Arrangements under the Placing Agreement.

The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any acceptance of or applications for Rights Shares where it believes that such acceptance or application would violate the applicable securities or other laws or regulations of any territory or jurisdiction. Accordingly, Excluded Shareholders should exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

Status of the Rights Shares

The Rights Shares, when allotted, issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue at that time. Holders of fully-paid Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions which may be declared, made or paid by the Company after the date of allotment and issue of the Rights Shares.

Fractional entitlements to the Rights Shares

The Company will not provisionally allot and will not accept application for any fractions of the Rights Shares. All fractions of the Rights Shares will be aggregated and sold by the Company in the open market if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. Any unsold fractions of the Rights Shares will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Procedures in respect of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares and the Unsubscribed

Arrangements

Pursuant to Rule 7.21(1) of the Listing Rules, in every rights issue, the issuer must make arrangements to either dispose of securities not subscribed by allottees under provisional allotment letters by means of excess application or by offering the securities to independent placees for the benefit of the No Action Shareholders to whom they were offered by way of the Rights Issue. As there will be no excess application arrangements in relation to the Rights Issue as stipulated by Rule 7.21(1)(a) of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to make arrangements described in Rule 7.21(1)(b) of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the Company has appointed the Placing Agent as placing agent to place the Unsubscribed Rights Shares during the placing period to independent placees on a best effort basis, and any premium over the Subscription Price for those Rights Shares that is realised will be paid to those No Action Shareholders on a pro-rata basis. The Placing Agent will, on a best effort basis, procure, by not later than 6:00 p.m. on Monday, 2 March 2020, placees to subscribe for all (or as many as possible) of those Unsubscribed Rights Shares. Any Unsubscribed Rights Shares not placed under the Unsubscribed Arrangements will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly.

Net Gain (if any) will be paid (without interest) to the No Action Shareholders as set out below on pro-rata basis (but rounded down to the nearest cent):

  1. the relevant Qualifying Shareholders (or such persons who hold any nil-paid rights at the time such nil-paid rights are lapsed) whose nil-paid rights are not validly applied for in full, by reference to the extent that Shares in his/her/its nil-paid rights are not validly applied for; and
  2. the relevant Excluded Shareholders with reference to their shareholdings in the Company on the Record Date.

If and to the extent in respect of any Net Gain, only when any No Action Shareholders become entitled on the basis described above to an amount of HK$100 or more, such amount will be paid to the relevant No Action Shareholder(s) in Hong Kong Dollars and the Company will retain individual amounts of less than HK$100 for its own benefit.

Distribution of the Prospectus Documents

The Company will only send this prospectus accompanied by the other Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders on the Posting Date. However, to the extent reasonably practicable and legally permitted, the Company will send this prospectus, for information purposes only, to the Excluded Shareholders. The Company will not send any PALs to the Excluded Shareholders.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Distribution of this prospectus and the other Prospectus Documents into jurisdictions other than Hong Kong may be restricted by law. Persons who come into possession of the Prospectus Documents (including, without limitation, Shareholders and beneficial owners of the Shares, agents, custodians, nominees and trustees) should inform themselves of and observe any such restriction. Any failure to comply with such restriction may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. Any Shareholder or beneficial owner of the Shares who is in any doubt as to his/her/its position should consult an appropriate professional adviser without delay.

Receipt of this prospectus and/or a PAL or the crediting of nil-paid Rights Shares to a stock account in CCASS does not and will not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which it would be illegal to make an offer and, in those circumstances, this prospectus and/or a PAL must be treated as sent for information only and should not be copied or redistributed. Persons (including, without limitation, agents, custodians, nominees and trustees) who receive a copy of this prospectus and/or a PAL or whose stock account in CCASS is credited with nil-paid Rights Shares should not, in connection with the Rights Issue, distribute or send the same in, into or from, or transfer the nil-paid Rights Shares to any person in, into or from, any such jurisdiction. If a PAL or a credit of nil-paid Rights Shares in CCASS is received by any person in any such territory, or by his/her/its agent or nominee, he/she/it should not seek to take up the rights referred to in the PAL or transfer the PAL or transfer the nil-paid Rights Shares in CCASS unless the Company determines that such action would not violate any applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

Any person (including, without limitation, agents, custodians, nominees and trustees) who does forward this prospectus or a PAL in, into or from any such jurisdiction (whether under a contractual or legal obligation or otherwise) should draw the recipient's attention to the contents of this section.

No part of the Prospectus Documents should be published, reproduced, distributed or otherwise made available in whole or in part to any other person without the written consent of the Company.

Beneficial owners of the Shares who reside outside Hong Kong should note that the Rights Issue does not constitute or form part of any offer or invitation to sell or issue, or any solicitation of any offer to acquire, nil-paid rights or fully-paid Rights Shares or to take up any entitlements to nil-paid rights or fully-paid Rights Shares in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is unlawful.

Odd lot matching

In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots of the Shares arising from the Rights Issue, the Company has appointed Phillip Securities (Hong Kong) Limited as matching agent to provide matching service, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to top-up their odd lots to a full board lot or sell their shareholdings of odd lots of the Shares during the period from 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 5 March 2020 to 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 27 March 2020 (both days inclusive).

- 25 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. any new law, rule or regulation or any change in existing laws (including common law), rules or regulations (or the juridical interpretation thereof) or other occurrence of any nature whatsoever which, in the reasonable opinion of the Placing Agent is or may be materially adverse to the business or financial position or prospects of the Company or any other member of the Group taken as a whole or otherwise makes it inexpedient or inadvisable to proceed with the placing;
  2. any material adverse change in the business or in the financial or trading position or prospects of the Group as a whole;
  3. save as already disclosed by the Company as at the date of the Placing Agreement, the instigation of any litigation or claim of material importance by any third party against any member of the Group, which has or may have a material adverse effect on the business or financial prospects of the Group and which in the reasonable opinion of the Placing Agent would materially prejudice the success of the placing;
  4. any binding order, restriction or prohibition having been obtained, applied for or threatened to be obtained by any person (other than a party to the Placing Agreement) from any competent authorities to restrict or prohibit any party from completing the Rights Issue and/or the placing.

The Directors have contemplated to raise fund through rights issue and have set up a committee for it since December 2019. They considered the option of the rights issue to be underwritten by a substantial shareholder. They decided to opt it out since (i) it would involve longer period of time as shareholders' meeting is required to be convened to approve the underwriting arrangement and (ii) they were advised by legal advisors that it is not a desirable option due to the potential conflicts of interests between the Company and the substantial shareholder. The management of the Company have approached four potential placing agents and have chosen the Placing Agent as it can provide the service to the Company in a prompt manner with market price. The Company has approached four

  1. financial institutions to explore and discuss the terms and possibility of placing and/or underwriting in respect of the Rights Issue. Two (2) financial institutions did not give fee quotations. One (1) financial institution quoted placing commission rate of higher of HK$500,000 or 1% gross proceed on the condition that they will charge the

- 26 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Company a fixed fee of HK$2 million as financial advisor for the Rights Issue. Although the quote by this financial institution for the placing was lower than the quote by the Placing Agent, when taking into account the fixed fee for financial advisor and as the placing is on a best efforts basis, the commission payable by the Company will depend on the number of Unsubscribed Rights Shares successfully placed by the Placing Agent. Given the current market conditions, there is uncertainty over the number of Unsubscribed Rights Shares that may be successfully placed by the Placing Agent. The minimum amount payable to the financial institution with the lower commission would be HK$2.5 million whereas the minimum amount payable to the Placing Agent is significantly lower. As such, the Board decided to appoint the Placing Agent with a fee structure that would provide more incentive for the Placing Agent to place a greater number of Unsubscribed Rights Shares. The engagement between the Company and the Placing Agent for the Unsubscribed Rights Shares (including the commission payable) was determined after arm's length negotiation between the Company and the Placing Agent and is on normal commercial terms with reference to the market comparables, the existing financial position of the Group, the size of the Rights Issue, and the current and expected market condition. The Placing Agent confirmed that it is independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected person and not a connected person of the Company. The Directors (except Mr. Cao Zhong and Mr. Huang Tan) consider that the terms of the Placing Agreement for the Unsubscribed Rights Shares (including the commission payable) are on normal commercial terms; are fair and reasonable and are in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

As explained above, the Unsubscribed Rights Shares will be placed by the Placing Agent to Independent Third Parties on a best effort basis for the benefits of the No Action Shareholders. If all or any of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares are successfully placed, any premium over the Subscription Price will be distributed to the relevant No Action Shareholders. Any Unsubscribed Rights Shares remaining after the Unsubscribed Arrangements will not be issued by the Company.

The Board (except the two Directors, Mr. Cao Zhong and Mr. Huang Tan, who voted against the Rights Issue at the Board Meeting) is of the view that the above Unsubscribed Arrangements and the terms of the Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the best interests of the Shareholders as a whole:

  1. the Unsubscribed Arrangements are in compliance with the requirements under Rule 7.21(1)(b) of the Listing Rules under which the No Action Shareholders may be compensated even if they do nothing (i.e. neither subscribe for Rights Shares nor sell their nil-paid rights) because under the Unsubscribed Arrangements, the Unsubscribed Rights Shares will be first offered to Independent Third Parties and any premium over the Subscription Price will be paid to the No Action Shareholders. The commission payable to the Placing Agent and the related fees and expenses in relation to such placing will be borne by the Company;
  2. the Unsubscribed Arrangements (including the determination of the placing price) will be managed by an independent licensed placing agent which is subject to the stringent code of conduct over, among others, pricing and allocation of the placing Shares. The Placing Agent is not connected with the Company or any of its connected persons; and

- 27 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the Unsubscribed Arrangements will not only provide an additional channel of participation in the Rights Issue for the No Action Shareholders, it also provides a distribution channel of the Unsubscribed Rights Shares to the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Notes:

  1. Mr. Cao Zhong, an executive Director and the chairman of the Company, is deemed to be interested in 64,449,499 Shares held by Long Hing International Limited which is his wholly-owned investment holding company.
  2. Dr. Chen Yanping, an executive Director, is deemed to be interested in 32,906,250 Shares held by Captain Century Limited which is owned as to 60% by Dr. Chen and 40% by his spouse, Ms. Zhang Lu.
  3. Core connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company other than Directors hold an aggregate of 31,966,302 Shares (representing approximately 1.640% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date).
  4. Public Shareholders hold an aggregate of 1,376,507,687 Shares (representing approximately 70.609% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date). There is no other substantial Shareholder who holds 10% or more of the shareholding interest in the Company.

REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in (i) vehicle design and research and development, manufacture and sales of electric vehicles; (ii) leasing of electric vehicles; (iii) research and development, manufacture and sales of cathode materials for batteries and provision of processing services; and (iv) direct investments.

To enable the Group to strengthen its financial position, the Board is of the view that the Rights Issue is necessary to provide sufficient funds for the repayment of the Group's debts and for general working capital of the Group.

The expected gross proceeds, net proceeds and net price per Rights Share from the Rights Issue are set out below:

Assuming full subscription

under the Rights Issue

HK$ (approximately)

Gross proceeds

195 million

Net proceeds

Net price per Rights Share

The Company intends to apply the net proceeds assuming full subscription from the Rights Issue as follows:

  1. as to about 50% of the net proceeds for the interest payment of approximately HK$67 million and/or principal repayment of approximately HK$30 million of the Group's debts; and
  2. as to about 50% of the net proceeds for general working capital of the Group including but not limited to the overhead for the Group (34%), professional fees (5%) and other general operational expenses (11%).

- 29 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In view of the fact that as at 30 September 2019, the Group has net liability of approximately HK$1,425,000,000, the Board believes that the Rights Issue will enable the Group to strengthen its capital base and to improve its financial position, and allow the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their proportional shareholdings in the Company.

The Company had considered other fund-raising alternatives available to the Group, including debt financing such as bank borrowings, and other equity financing such as placing or subscription of new Shares.

The Company is of the view that debt financing will result in additional interest burden and will further increase the gearing of the Group which is not beneficial to the Group given that the Group incurred a net loss for the six months ended 30 September 2019 and was at a net current liabilities position as at 30 September 2019. The Board considers that to finance the funding needs of the Group in the form of equity is a better alternative. Amongst the equity financing methods, placing or subscription of new Shares would dilute the shareholding of the existing Shareholders without giving the chance to the existing Shareholders to participate. In the contrary, the Rights Issue will enable the Group to strengthen its capital base and to enhance its financial position without increasing its debt or finance costs. Since the Rights Issue will allow the Qualifying Shareholders to maintain their proportional shareholdings in the Company, the Board considers that raising capital through the Rights Issue is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Based on the above, the Board considers (except the two Directors, Mr. Cao Zhong and Mr. Huang Tan, who voted against the Rights Issue at the Board Meeting) that raising capital through the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

POSSIBLE ADJUSTMENT TO THE SHARE OPTIONS UNDER THE SHARE

OPTION SCHEMES AND THE CONVERTIBLE BONDS

The Rights Issue may lead to adjustments to the exercise price and/or the number of Shares to be issued upon exercise of the share options under the Share Option Schemes and to the conversion price and/or the number of Shares to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds under the terms of the Convertible Bonds.

The Company will notify the holders of such share options and Convertible Bonds and the Shareholders by way of announcement (as and when appropriate) regarding adjustments to be made (if any) pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Schemes and the Convertible Bonds and such adjustment will be certified by an independent financial adviser or auditors of the Company (as the case may be).

- 30 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Save for the foregoing, there are no other options, warrants or other convertible securities granted by the Company that are subsisting as at the Latest Practicable Date. Adjustments to the conversion prices and numbers of conversion shares of the Convertible Bonds and the exercise prices and numbers of the option shares of the share options will be required as a result of the Rights Issue. The auditor of the Company will be appointed to certify the necessary adjustments to the conversion prices and numbers of conversion shares of the Convertible Bonds, the exercise prices and numbers of the option shares of the share options. Further announcement(s) relating to such adjustments will be made by the Company in this regard as and when appropriate.

Investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares or the nil-paid rights.

Any dealings in the Shares up to the date on which all the conditions of the Rights Issue are fulfilled, and any Shareholders dealing in the Rights Shares in nil-paid form will accordingly bear the risk that the Rights Issue may not become unconditional or may not proceed. Any Shareholders or other persons contemplating any dealings in the Shares or Rights Shares in their nil-paid form are recommended to consult their professional advisers.

REQUISITION FOR SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

5. BUSINESS REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

The Group is a pure electric vehicle manufacturer. It aims to become a globally recognised manufacturer of more economical, greener and more energy-efficient pure electric vehicles. The Group's core businesses include ground-up research, design and development, and manufacturing and sales of pure electric vehicles; manufacturing and sales of lithium-ion("Li-ion") batteries and cathode materials for Li-ion batteries. The Group's mission is to replace and electrify the commercial vehicle segment of the internal combustion engine ("ICE") vehicles which is the most possible segment to be electrified.

During the past years, the Group has strived to become a world-class electric vehicle manufacturer through continual capital investment in the core electric vehicle manufacturing base located in Hangzhou. The Group owns approximately 50% of share of Hangzhou Changjiang Automobile Co., Ltd. ("Hangzhou Changjiang"), which is one of the new electric vehicle companies in China with dual-license status. However, the electric vehicle industry became very challenging in the PRC market in recent years affected by macroeconomic factors. Reduced subsidies amount, tightened criteria for subsidies and longer expected time for subsidies to be received squeezed the cash flow of the Group. In the PRC, under current regulatory policy, the electric vehicles are required to run above 20,000 km within two years from the date of vehicles registration before they could be qualified for subsidies. Hence, the Group needs a much longer time to recover these subsidies when the vehicles have run 20,000 km. In order to tackle the challenge in the change in regulatory policy in the PRC, the Group has expanded the business into the overseas market and has gained significant orders from blue chip customers in the United States ("U.S.").

The Group's electric vehicles have been homologated in the U.S. and have been qualified for California's Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) eligibility list, indicating the products have earned full accreditations. These represent a result of the Group's years of research and development effort. In addition, under the global awareness of the environmental issues, electric vehicles are believed to be the future trend benefiting from the zero emission advantage. The quality of the electric vehicles of the Group has also earned the trust in overseas market, where in 2017, the Group made the first step internationally by exporting the first ever Chinese-made pure electric logistics vehicles to the U.S. Following the export of the first batch of electric logistics vehicles to the U.S., in 2018, the Group has received additional orders of over 1,000 units of V-8100 pure electric logistics vehicles, among which, 100 units are from a blue-chip customer, Federal Express Corporation ("FedEx") and 900 units are from Ryder Vehicle Purchasing, LLC ("Ryder") which will be leased to FedEx. Obtaining such large orders from FedEx and Ryder proved that the Group has already been recognised by multiple blue-chip customers and it is expected that the Group can further gain market shares in the electric commercial vehicle market. Furthermore, Chanje Energy, Inc. ("Chanje"), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a construction agreement in relation to the construction of charging stations for electric vehicles in more than 40 sites in California, the U.S. in 2019. This charging system will support daily

- 38 -

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

charging for more than 1,000 units of electric vehicles and is created specifically for FedEx to meet its operational efficiency and sustainability goals. Chanje has committed to be a provider for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure to one of the largest fleets in the world which pioneers in the electric vehicle space in the industry. This represents an important milestone for the Group's electric vehicles business.

The recent outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia (2019-nCoV) epidemic in mainland China may potentially affect the Group's operation in the PRC, including potential disruption to the supply chain of the Group and productions of the Group's facilities located in the PRC. The Directors will closely monitor the situation and pay great attention to the development of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic and make every effort on epidemic prevention and control, and daily operation management. The Board will continue to assess the impact of the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic on the Group's operation and financial performance and closely monitor the Group's exposure to the risks and uncertainties.

Looking forward, the Group will continue its focus on the Business-to-business ("B2B") commercial electric vehicle segment as it is the most possible segment to be electrified given the lower total cost of ownership advantage that the fleet operators concern and the increasing environmental awareness by the fleet operators. The Group has been planning on the structural changes through the disposal of non-core, loss making and cash-consuming asset of the Group in order to concentrate the Group's business resources to ramp up production and generate revenue in the core B2B commercial electric vehicle segments. In the next step, the Group would target to develop an asset light business model by the way of introduction of new strategic partners at different operational level in order to streamline the business structure and going forward, the Group will continue to explore the overseas market and to expand their leading position in the "last mile" delivery industry.

The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the pro forma financial information are described in Notes 1 to 5 to the pro forma financial information.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the proposed rights issue on the Group's consolidated net tangible liabilities as at 30 September 2019 as if the proposed rights issue had taken place at 30 September 2019. As part of this process, information about the Group's consolidated net tangible liabilities has been extracted by the directors from the Group's consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 30 September 2019, on which no audit or review report has been published.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

The firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountant's Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the pro forma financial information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the pro forma financial information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled the pro forma financial information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.

The purpose of pro forma financial information included in an investment circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Group as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction at the specific date would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a

- 43 -

APPENDIX II

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
  • The pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant's judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant's understanding of the nature of the Group, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  1. the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated;
  2. such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and
  3. the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.
