THE PLACING AGREEMENT AND THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT

  1. Placing Agreement

On 11 September 2020 (before trading hours), the Company, the Vendor and the Joint Placing Agents entered into the Placing Agreement pursuant to which the Vendor agreed to place, through the Joint Placing Agents on a best effort basis, a maximum of 55,500,000 existing Placing Shares at the Placing Price of HK$7.00 per Placing Share. The Placing Shares represent (i) approximately 6.30% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 5.93% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Subscription (assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the date of this announcement to the completion of the Subscription save for the issue of the Subscription Shares).

The Placing Shares will be placed by the Joint Placing Agents in board lots of 500 Shares to not less than six independent Placees which are professional, institutional and/or individual investors who, together with their respective ultimate beneficial owners will be third parties independent of and not connected with the Company or its connected persons or any of its respective associates and who will not become substantial shareholders of the Company after completion of the Placing.

  1. Subscription Agreement

On 11 September 2020 (before trading hours), the Vendor and the Company also entered into the Subscription Agreement under which the Vendor conditionally agreed to subscribe for, and the Company conditionally agreed to issue, the Subscription Shares. Assuming the Placing Shares are placed in full, the Subscription Shares represent approximately 6.30% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement and approximately 5.93% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Subscription (assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the date of this announcement to the completion of the Subscription save for the issue of the Subscription Shares).

The Company will apply to the Stock Exchange for the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares. The Subscription Shares will be allotted and issued under the General Mandate.

Completion of the Subscription is conditional upon:

  1. completion of the Placing having occurred pursuant to the terms of the Placing Agreement; and

The aggregate nominal value of the Placing Shares under the Placing will be HK$555,000.00.

The Placing Shares rank pari passu among themselves and with the other Shares in issue as at the date of this announcement.

The Placing Price is determined with reference to the prevailing market price of the Shares and is negotiated on an arm's length basis between the Vendor, the Company and the Joint Placing Agents.

Rights

The Placing Shares will be sold free of all liens, charges and encumbrances, and together with all rights attaching thereto as at the date of the Placing Agreement, including the right to receive all dividends or other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of the Placing Agreement.

Independence of the Joint Placing Agents and the Placees

If any of the Placees will become a substantial Shareholder after the completion of the Placing, further announcement will be made by the Company.

The Joint Placing Agents and the Placees to be procured by the Joint Placing Agents and their ultimate beneficial owners are or will be, as the case may be, third parties independent of and not connected with the Company or its connected persons.

  3. there having occurred a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in the PRC, the United Kingdom, the United States or Hong Kong by any PRC, United Kingdom, New York State, United States federal or Hong Kong authorities which would in the sole opinion of the Joint Placing Agents be likely to prejudice materially the success of the Placing; and
  4. there having been imposed any moratorium, suspension or material restriction or limitation in trading in shares or securities generally on the Stock Exchange, any stock exchange in the PRC, the New York stock exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., or the London stock exchange due to exceptional financial circumstances or otherwise at any time prior to Completion.

If any of the above termination events occurs and the termination rights have not been waived by the Joint Placing Agents by Completion, the Placing Agreement and the obligations of the Joint Placing Agents under the Placing Agreement shall ipso facto cease and terminate at that time, and no party shall be under any liability to any other for costs, damages, charges, compensation or otherwise under the Placing Agreement, except in relation to obligations, agreements and liabilities arising prior to such termination (including liabilities arising prior to such termination under the representations, warranties and undertakings referred to in the Placing Agreement).
