COMPLETION OF PLACING OF NEW SHARES

UNDER GENERAL MANDATE

Placing Agent

The Board is pleased to announce that the Completion took place on 5 January 2018 and an aggregate of 440,560,000 Placing Shares were successfully placed to not less than six independent Placees at the Placing Price.

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 13 December 2017 (the ''Announcement'') in relation to the Placing of up to 440,560,000 Placing Shares. Unless otherwise stated, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement.

COMPLETION OF PLACING OF NEW SHARES UNDER GENERAL MANDATE

The Board is pleased to announce that the Completion took place on 5 January 2018 and an aggregate of 440,560,000 Placing Shares, representing 100% of maximum number of the Placing Shares, were successfully placed to not less than six independent Placees at the Placing Price.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Placees and its ultimate beneficial owners (where applicable) is an Independent Third Party and none of the Placees has become a substantial shareholder (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) as the result of the Placing.

The gross proceeds from the Placing of a total of 440,560,000 Placing Shares are approximately HK$46.3 million, and the net proceeds from the Placing, after deducting the Placing Agent commission and other expenses incurred in the Placing, are approximately HK$45.2 million. It is expected that (i) approximately HK$37.5 million, representing approximately 83.0% of the net proceeds from the Placing, will be used for acquiring a property in the urban area of Hong Kong to operate a new restaurant by the Group; and (ii) the remaining portion of approximately HK$7.7 million, representing approximately 17.0% of the net proceeds from the Placing, will be used for opening Du Hsiao Yueh () restaurants in Hong Kong.

CHANGES IN THE SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY

The 440,560,000 Placing Shares represent (i) 20% of the issued share capital of the Company immediately before the Completion; and (ii) 16.67% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares and as at the date of this announcement.
