CHANGE IN BOARD LOT SIZE

The Board announces that the board lot size for trading in the ordinary shares of 5 pence each in the share capital of the Company on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will be changed from 500 Shares to 50 Shares with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Friday, 14 May 2021.

The Shares are currently traded in a board lot of 500 Shares each and the market value of each board lot of the Shares is HK$79,500 (based on the closing price of HK$159 per Share as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as at the date of this announcement). Upon the change in board lot size becoming effective, the Shares will be traded in board lot of 50 Shares each and the estimated market value per each board lot of the Shares will be HK$7,950 (based on the closing price of HK$159 per Share as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as at the date of this announcement).

As no odd lot of the Shares will be created as a result of the change in board lot size of the Shares, there will be no odd lot arrangement to match the sales and purchases of odd lots.

The Board expects that the reduction in board lot size will support the trading and liquidity of the Shares. The change in board lot size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the holders of the Shares. The Board is of the opinion that the change in board lot size is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

EXCHANGE OF NEW SHARE CERTIFICATES

Shareholders may submit their Existing Share Certificates to the Company's branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong in exchange for New Share Certificates free of charge between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on any business day from Friday, 30 April 2021 to Tuesday, 8 June 2021, both dates inclusive. Thereafter, Existing Share Certificates will be accepted for exchange only on payment of a fee of HK$2.50 (or such higher amount as may from time to time be specified by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange) for each New Share Certificate or each Existing Share Certificate submitted, whichever number of share certificate involved is higher.

It is expected that the New Share Certificates will be available for collection from the Share Registrar by the Shareholders within 10 business days after delivery of the Existing Share Certificates to the Share Registrar for exchange purpose.

With effect from Friday, 14 May 2021, all new share certificates will be issued in board lot of 50 Shares each (except for odd lots or where the Share Registrar is otherwise instructed). All Existing Share Certificates will continue to be good evidence of legal title to such Shares and continue to be valid for trading, delivery and settlement purposes.

Save and except for the change in the number of Shares for each board lot and a change in the Company's logo, the New Share Certificates will have the same format and colour as the Existing Share Certificates.
