All times and dates stated in this joint announcement refer to Hong Kong local times and dates. The dates or deadlines specified in the revised timetable above are indicative only and may be extended or varied by the Company in agreement with the Underwriter and in accordance with the Listing Rules. The terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement shall be read in light of the above revised timetable. Any changes to the expected timetable will be published or notified to the Shareholders and the Stock Exchange as and when appropriate.

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN THE EXISTING SHARES AND NIL-PAID RIGHTS SHARES

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the proposed Rights Issue is conditional upon, among others, the Underwriting Agreement having become unconditional and the Underwriter not having terminated the Underwriting Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (a summary of which is set out in the sections headed "The Underwriting Agreement - Conditions of the Rights Issue and the Underwriting Agreement" and "The Underwriting Agreement - Termination of the Underwriting Agreement" in the Announcement). Accordingly, the Rights Issue may or may not proceed.

Any Shareholder or other person dealing in the existing Shares and/or the nil-paid Rights Shares up to the date on which all the conditions to which the Rights Issue are fulfilled or waived (as applicable) (and the date on which the Underwriter's right of termination of the Underwriting Agreement ceases) will accordingly bear the risk that the Rights Issue may not become unconditional or may not proceed.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the existing Shares and/or the nil-paid Rights Shares. Any party (including Shareholders and potential investors of the Company) who is in any doubt about his/her/its position or any action to be taken is recommended to consult his/her/ its own professional adviser(s).

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALING IN LSG SHARES

The LSG Shareholders and potential investors of LSG should note that the proposed Rights Issue is conditional upon, among others, the Underwriting Agrement having become unconditional and the Underwriter not having terminated the Underwriting Agrement in accordance with the terms thereof (a summary of which is set out in the sections headed "The Underwriting Agreement - Conditions of the Rights Issue and the Underwriting Agreement" and "The Underwriting Agreement - Termination of the Underwriting Agreement" in the Announcement). Accordingly, the Rights Issue may or may not proceed.

The LSG Shareholders and potential investors of LSG are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of LSG, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional adviser(s).
