EXEMPTED CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN
RELATION TO THE SUBSCRIPTION OF
CONVERTIBLE BONDS
On 10 May 2021 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Subscriber, a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Subscription Agreement with the Issuer in respect of the Subscriber's conditional subscription of the Convertible Bonds in the principal amount of HK$9.5 million due two years from the date of issue at a Conversion Price of HK$0.608 per Conversion Share. Completion of the Subscription Agreement is subject to the conditions as set out in the paragraph headed ''Conditions Precedent'' below.
Upon full conversion of the Convertible Bonds at the initial Conversion Price of HK$0.608, a total of 15,625,000 Conversion Shares will be allotted and issued, representing approximately 5.58% of the issued share capital of the Issuer as at the date of this announcement and approximately 5.29% of the issued share capital of the Issuer as enlarged by the issue of the Conversion Shares, to the Subscriber.
As at the date of this announcement, the Issuer is an associate of Mr. Tang Shing Bor, who is a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Issuer is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules and the Subscription of the Convertible Bonds constitutes a connected transaction for the Company for the purpose of the Listing Rules.
As the relevant applicable percentage ratios for the Subscription of the Convertible Bonds are less than 25% and the total consideration is less that HK$10,000,000, the Subscription of the Convertible Bonds is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but is exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and Shareholders' approval requirements under Rule 14A.76(2) of the Listing Rules.

Conversion Price, provided that only a portion of the principal | ||||||||
amount of the Convertible Bonds may be converted such that: | ||||||||

Conversion Price (the initial Conversion Price being HK$0.608 | ||
per Conversion Share) for five (5) consecutive Trading Days | ||

In the event that all of the Remaining Principal Amount at Maturity are converted into Conversion Shares at the then applicable Conversion Price on the Maturity Date immediately after the Mandatory Conversion Mechanism at Maturity, but the closing price per Issuer's share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Maturity Date is lower than the then applicable Conversion Price on the Maturity Date, the Issuer is obliged to pay to the Bondholder(s) an amount in cash equivalent to the difference between (I) 105% of the Remaining Principal Amount at Maturity and (II) the multiplication of such number of Conversion Shares issued by the Issuer by virtue of the Mandatory Conversion Mechanism at Maturity and the closing price of the Issuer's share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Maturity Date.

converted immediately after the Mandatory Conversion Mechanism | |
at Maturity (''Remaining Principal Amount after Mandatory | |

the provisions under the paragraph headed ''Redemption of the | |
outstanding Convertible Bonds on the Maturity Date'' below in this | |
announcement. | |
