  4. a discount of approximately 64.86% to the closing price of HK$1.85 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;
  5. a discount of approximately 29.8% to the audited consolidated net asset value of the Group of approximately RMB0.78 per Share as at 30 June 2020 (equivalent to approximately HK$0.93 based on the exchange rate on the Latest Practicable Date) and calculated based on the audited consolidated net assets of the Group of approximately RMB570,975,104 as at 30 June 2020 as extracted from the annual report of the Company for the year of 2020 and the number of issued Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date); and

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The aggregate amount from the Subscription will be HK$100,000,000, is estimated to be HK$0.65 per Subscription Share. The aggregate Subscription Price will be payable by the Subscriber in cash at the Completion. The aggregate nominal value of the Subscription Shares will be HK$1,538,461.53.

The Board noted that after the publication of the announcement regarding the Subscription, the closing price of the Shares has increased to HK$1.27 per Share on 3 March 2021 (being the first trading day after the publication of the aforesaid announcement) as compared to that of HK$0.84 per Share on the date of the Subscription Agreement while the trading volume of the Shares also increased to approximately 18,592,000 Shares. During the period commencing from 2 March 2021 to the Latest Practicable Date, the Shares fluctuated within a wide range from HK$0.84 per Shares to HK$1.85 per Shares. Save for the announcement of the Subscription, the Directors were not aware of any other reasons that led to the surge in the Share price and the large fluctuation in the closing price of the Shares within a short period of time after the aforesaid announcement.

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber with reference to the trading performance and the trading volume of the Shares for the period between the subscription of Bonds and the Subscription, as well as the existing financial position of the Group. At the time when the Company and Subscriber negotiated the terms of Subscription, trading price of the Shares was in a decreasing trend. Since 2 December 2020 (the day after the subscription agreement of the Bonds was entered into between the Company and Creation Best) until 2 March 2021 (the date of the Subscription Agreement), the Shares had been traded at low liquidity within the range of HK$0.94 per Share (highest average closing price per Share on 25 February 2021) and HK$0.54 (lowest average closing price per Share on 28 December 2020), and the average closing price was approximately HK$0.72 per Share during the period. From 2 December 2020 to 2 March 2021, the average trading volume is ranged from approximately 234,200 Shares to approximately 5,323,714 Shares, representing approximately 0.0320% to 0.7264% of the number of Shares in issue as at the end of the relevant month/period. The Subscription Price is within the range of average closing price per Share between 2 December 2020 and 2 March 2021.

The Directors further considered that the Company's cash and cash equivalent of approximately RMB39.7 million as at 31 December 2020 and the Group's borrowings amounted to approximately RMB110.2 million out of which RMB74.2 million is repayable within one year which it is anticipated that with the high gearing ratio and the existing cash and cash equivalent of the Group may not be sufficient to maintain the daily operation as well as to fund any potential projects.

Having considered and balanced (i) that the Subscription Price is considered to be determined on reasonable bases after consideration of the historical trading prices one year immediately before the date of the Subscription Agreement; (ii) that the financial and liquidity positions of the Group will be improved immediately upon the completion of the Subscription; (iii) that the net proceeds from the Subscriptions will be utilised for the purposes of pursuing business opportunity identified and strengthening the financial and liquidity positions of the Company; and (iv) the strategic consideration of the Subscription, the Directors are of the view that the dilution effect of the Subscription on the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders is not excessive. Assuming that no Bonds are converted, and no other Shares are issued and/or repurchased by

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the Company from the Latest Practicable Date up to and including the date of the Completion, shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders will be diluted by 8.06% from 46.47% to 38.41% and the Subscription will result in a theoretical value dilution effect (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of approximately 4.02%. The Directors also consider that the Subscription Price and the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Comparable issue analysis

For comparison purpose, based on a best-effort search on the Stock Exchange's website, excluding the H shares and companies listed on GEM of the Stock Exchange, it identified the subscription of shares under specific mandate for the last six-month period immediately before and including the date of the Subscription Agreement (i.e. 2 March 2021) (which list is exhaustive):

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the research above, the Board has noted that the subscription price was ranged from a premium of 8.18% to a discount of 34.78% to the closing price per shares on the date of the agreement, and the Company's discount of 22.62% is at the lower end of the premium/ discount of the comparable issues but within the range for the last six months period. The average premium/discount of the comparable issues was on a discount of approximately 4.68%. The Board has considered various factors including the market price, trading volume, financial positions and funding needs of the comparable issues as disclosed in their respective announcements and circulars, as well as market conditions at the time of the issue of share which may affect the determination of the subscription price of the shares.

Taking into account that (i) the decreasing trend of market price of the Shares before the date of Subscription Agreement; (ii) the trading volume of Shares is relatively thin which was approximately 0.0320% to 0.7264% of the number of Shares in issue per month/period between 2 December 2020 and 2 March 2021; (iii) the funding needs and expansion plan for Dubai Recycling Project which it is expected the project will resume normal by end of 2021; (iv) the current available resources and borrowing capacity to fund the projects; (v) the benefits of the strategic investment by Mr. Fang Hui in the Company as disclosed in the paragraph headed "Reasons for the Subscription and Use of Proceeds" below; and (vi) the current global economic conditions, the Board is of the view that the Subscription Price is within the range of the premium/discount of the comparable issues and is fair and reasonable.

Ranking of the Subscription Shares

The Subscription Shares, when allotted and issued, will rank pari passu in all respects among themselves and with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares.

Conditions precedent

Completion is conditional upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:

  1. the Listing Committee having granted (either unconditionally or subject only to conditions to which neither the Company nor the Subscriber reasonably objects) listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares and the Listing Committee not having withdrawn or revoked such listing and permission on or before the Completion;
  2. the Shares remaining listed and traded on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange at all times from the date of the Subscription Agreement to the date of the Completion, save for any temporary trading halt or suspension in trading for no longer than three
    1. consecutive trading days (or such longer period as the Subscriber may agree in writing), and there being no indication from the Stock Exchange that the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange will be suspended, revoked or withdrawn at any time before or after the Completion, whether in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement or otherwise;

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the passing by the Shareholders who are entitled to vote and not required to be abstained from voting under the Listing Rules in the EGM to be held and convened of resolution(s) to approve the Subscription Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereunder, including the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares;
  2. each of the Company's representations, warranties and undertakings under the Subscription Agreement remaining true, complete and accurate and not misleading at the Completion as if repeated at the Completion and at all times between the date of the Subscription Agreement and the Completion;
  3. the Company having obtained from or made to (as the case may be) all relevant authorities all applicable approvals and filings in connection with the Subscription;
  4. the Company having duly performed and observed all of the obligations, undertakings, covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it prior to the Completion under the Subscription Agreement;
  5. the Subscriber receiving from the Company all of the documents pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Subscriber;
  6. there shall not be in effect any applicable laws restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other transaction documents;
  7. no action shall have been commenced by or before any governmental authority against any party hereto, seeking to restrain or materially and adversely alter the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other transaction documents which, in the reasonable, good faith determination of the Subscriber, is likely to render it impossible or unlawful to consummate such transactions; and
  8. each of the Subscriber's representations, warranties and undertakings under the Subscription Agreement remaining true, complete and accurate in all material respects and not misleading in any material respect at the date of the Completion as if repeated at the date of the Completion and at all times between the date of the Subscription Agreement and the date of the Completion.

The Subscriber may waive all or any of the above conditions (save for the conditions (a), (c) and (h)) at any time by notice in writing to the Company. The Company may not unilaterally waive any of the above conditions other than condition (j). In the event that any of the above conditions of the Subscription are not fulfilled (or waived, if applicable) prior to 31 May 2021 (or such later date as the Company and the Subscriber may agree in writing), the Subscription Agreement shall terminate and cease to be of any effect. Neither of the parties shall have any claim against each other save for any liability arising out of any antecedent breach. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Subscriber has no intention to waive any of the above conditions, and none of the above conditions have been fulfilled.

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Appointment of Directors

As part of the Subscription, the Company has agreed to appoint two persons to be nominated by the Subscriber to the Board. Each such person must fulfill the necessary requirements of the Listing Rules and such appointment will be approved by the Nomination Committee of the Company. If the Subscription does not proceed and if requested by the Board, such person shall resign from office without any compensation for loss of office. It is expected that one of the persons to be nominated to the Board (subject to the approval of the Nomination Committee) will be Mr. Fang Hui however as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Subscriber has yet to nominate any candidates to Board. Further announcement will be made by the Company upon such persons being appointed to the Board.

Pursuant to Article 83(3) of the Company's articles of association, the Directors shall have the power to at any time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy on the Board or as an addition to the existing Board. The right granted to the Subscriber was a one-off right to nominate two persons acceptable to the Nomination Committee to the Board. Such nominated Directors will have to vacate their position at the next annual general meeting, subject to re-election by the shareholders. The Company believes that a strategic investor, such as Mr. Fang Hui and his affiliates, who is prepared to invest HK$200 million (by way of the Subscription and subscription of Bonds) deserves the opportunity to be represented in the Board and such a request is not uncommon for transactions of the same nature. Taking into account also that not only does the Subscription give the Company the necessary funding to further grow its waste recycling business, it also gives the Company an opportunity to negotiate with Creation Best for extension/conversion of the Bonds, if no new funding can be sourced at reasonable terms upon the expiry of the Bonds, the Company believe that the granting of the nomination right is fair and reasonable and is in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

Completion of the Subscription

Completion of the Subscription shall take place on a day falling no later than fourteen days from the fulfillment of all the conditions precedent (or such later date, subject to the approval of the Stock Exchange, as may be agreed between the parties in writing). It is expected that the Subscription will be completed by 30 April 2021.

Specific Mandate to issue the Subscription Shares

The issue of the Subscription Shares is subject to the Shareholders' approval. The Subscription Shares will be issued and allotted pursuant to the Specific Mandate to be sought from the Shareholders at the EGM.

Application for listing

The Company will apply to the Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares on the Stock Exchange.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders and potential investors should note that Completion is subject to the fulfillment or waiver of conditions under the Subscription Agreement and may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Board has considered the followings factors when entering into the Subscription Agreement:

  1. Potential investment opportunities

Starting in early 2018, the Government of China began the process of banning the import of foreign waste materials (including recyclable plastics, waste paper and scrap metal) for recycling and until recently, the Government of China implemented a complete ban of import of solid wastes. For decades, China was the world's largest importer of waste. The import ban policy caused the world's major waste-exporting countries to scramble for alternative destinations and for investors to consider getting in on recycling business in both developed and emerging countries.

As one of the Group's major segments, the Group's "Environmental Products" segment provides comprehensive treatment for wastewater, sludge, and solid waste produced in paper-making companies. The Company considers that the waste recycling is not a new business segment for the Company and the potential market for this business is considerably large given the amount of global waste. Hence, for some years, the Company has been looking to expand the Group's environmental services business by investing in and establishing waste recycling plants outside China using the existing skills, technology and expertise of the Group. As announced by the Company on 7 October 2019, the Government of Dubai has given its approval to establish a zero-waste metal recycling project in the Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Such approval obtained by HeHe Resources does not have an expiry date.

Due to travel restrictions imposed by COVID-19, no further progress has been made in relation to the implementation of this project. Assuming no material adverse changes to the conditions for the implementation of the project after COVID-19, the Company's expected financial commitment for the Dubai Recycling Project will be approximately HK$330 million and the Company expects the entire net proceeds from the issue of the Subscription Shares of HK$100 million will be utilised towards the costs of purchasing and leasing plants and machineries for the project immediately once travel conditions return to normality. Given the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines and as a number of countries has launched large scale COVID-19 vaccine injection programs, it is expected that the market conditions will be gradually resumed in the second half of 2021 and the Dubai Recycling Project will commence again in the second half of 2021. It is estimated that the Group will start to use the proceeds from the Subscription after the commencement of Dubai Recycling Project and the proceeds will be fully utilised in early 2022. In the event that the Dubai project proved no longer to be suitable, the entire net proceeds will be used to fund other similar investment projects, including but not limited to setting up a joint venture and establishment of zero-waste recycling plant, to be identified by the Company in another jurisdiction. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not identified other similar projects in another jurisdiction and will use its best endeavours to reactivate the Dubai Recycling Project. The Board will issue further announcement(s) to update the investors in the event that there is any change of use of proceeds.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company expects that Mr. Fang Hui to spearhead the investment in waste recycling plants outside China. Mr. Fang AK is a pioneer of comprehensive utilisation of recyclable metal resources in China and a leading industry figure in the field of metals recycling. Mr. Fang AK founded Chiho-Tiande Group Limited (now known as Chiho Environmental Group Limited), a company listed on the Stock Exchange (stock code: 00976) ("Chiho"), once the largest and most profitable metal recycling business in China. After leaving Chiho in 2015, Mr. Fang AK and Mr. Fang Hui spent the next few years working on the blueprint to design and operate large scale integrated waste management parks serving customers globally. They were the first to convince the Government of Dubai to license the establishment of a zero-waste recycling plant in Dubai. The Board values the experience of Mr. Fang AK and Mr. Fang Hui and believe that they will add value to further strengthen the Group's environmental services business. Without the international experience of both Mr. Fang, the Company's foray into zero-waste recycling would be much riskier.

  1. Alternate fund raising methods

The Directors have considered various fund raising methods including debt financing and equity financing, and believed that the Subscription is an appropriate and efficient means to raise funds, for the reasons that (a) the Subscription can strengthen the capital base of the Company without burdening the Group with principal repayment, interests expenses and other potential stringent financing terms; (b) the Subscription can enable the Company to maintain positive cash position for the Group's operations; (c) debt financing requires the Group to retain a portion of Group's cash balance for principal and interests repayment, which may limit the Group's flexibility and capability to use cash for further business development and to timely capture business opportunities that may arise from time to time; and (d) the Subscription and further debt financing are not mutually exclusive and the Group may have a better position to bargain for more favourable terms from debt financiers if the Group has a larger equity base after completion of the Subscription.

With respect to the debt financing, it is noted that and also as disclosed in the latest interim report of the Company for the six months ended 31 December 2020 (the "Interim Report"), as at 31 December 2020, (a) the Group's borrowings amounted to approximately RMB110.2 million out of which RMB74.2 million is repayable within one year. In addition, as disclosed in the CB Announcements, the maturity date of Bonds issued by the Company is 30 November 2021 and Creation Best may request for the early redemption of the Bonds by the Company after 1 June 2021.

With respect to other equity financing, such as a rights issue and open offer, the Company considered that such other equity financing methods usually involves a lengthy implementation timeline with the relevant application and administrative procedures, as well as various costs including underwriting fees, professional parties fee and administration costs (e.g. printing and mailing costs).

Having considered that (i) the difficulties in obtaining the debt financing without any collaterals and (ii) other equity financing may take a longer time to complete, the Company considers it is more flexible and time-saving for entering into the Subscription Agreement. Hence, the Subscription is considered a preferred means to raise funds and broaden Shareholders base than other forms of equity or debt financing which may involve longer time and higher administrative costs or finance costs.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Having considered the factors above, the Directors consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Mr. Zhu Gen Rong and Mr. Wang Ai Yan respectively hold 2,044,000 Shares representing approximately 0.28% of the issued share capital of the Company and 368,000 Shares representing approximately 0.05% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 10 January 2021 regarding the winding- up petition against the Florescent Holdings Limited. The hearing for the winding-up petition before the High Court has been adjourned to 28 April 2021.
  2. The Subscriber and Creation Best are investment holding companies incorporated in British Virgin Islands which are beneficially owned by Mr. Fang Hui. Creation Best will hold 140,845,070 new Shares assuming the Bonds will be fully converted into Shares and upon Completion, the Subscriber will own 153,846,153 Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Fang Hui holds 7,440,000 Shares.

INFORMATION ON THE SUBSCRIBER

The Subscriber is an investment holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.

Mr. Fang Hui, the ultimate beneficial owner of the Subscriber, was a director of Environmental Resources, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, between 18 September 2019 and 1 September 2020. Mr. Fang Hui is also the ultimate beneficial owner of Creation Best, the holder of the Bonds and as at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Bonds have been converted into Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Fang Hui holds 7,440,000 Shares, representing approximately 1.02% of the Company's total Shares in issue.

As announced in the Company's announcement dated 7 October 2019, the Government of Dubai gave its approval for a venture, under Mr. Fang AK's stewardship, to establish the Dubai Recycling Project in the Jebel Ali Free Zone, Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Mr. Fang AK is the father of Mr. Fang Hui. The Board then announced in the Company's announcement dated 26 May 2020 that the Company entered into the Dubai Shareholders' Agreement with Mr. Fang AK to develop the Dubai Recycling Project, subject to the Company raising at least RMB300 million (equivalent to approximately HK$327.1 million). Nonetheless, as the Company was unable to raise the agreed funding by the long stop date, being 31 August 2020, the Dubai Shareholders' Agreement lapsed as announced by the Company's announcement dated 1 September 2020.

Environmental Resources is wholly-owned by Fine Global which is the proposed joint venture company under the Dubai Shareholders' Agreement. Environmental Resources in turn is the sole beneficial owner of the entire equity interest in HeHe Resources. HeHe Resources is the vehicle which Mr. Fang AK used to secure the licenses for the Dubai Recycling Project. From their respective date of incorporation until the Latest Practicable Date, none of Fine Global, Environmental Resources nor HeHe Resources has conducted any business. As such, these subsidiaries are insignificant subsidiaries of the Group for the purpose of Rule 14A.09(1) of the Listing Rules and the Subscriber and its ultimate beneficial owner is consequently not a connected person.
