PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE

The Company proposes to raise gross proceeds of approximately HK$127.0 million before expenses by way of a rights issue of up to 634,892,864 Rights Shares at a price of HK$0.2 per Rights Share on the basis of one (1) Rights Share for every two (2) existing Shares held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date. The estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue (after deducting the estimated expenses) will be approximately HK$122.0 million and intend to be applied in the following manner:

  1. approximately 81.97% (or approximately HK$100.0 million) for investments in the future pursuant to investment objectives of the Company; and
  2. approximately 18.03% (or approximately HK$22.0 million) as general working capital of the Group.

In the event that there is an undersubscription of the Rights Issue, the net proceeds of the Rights Issue will first be utilised (i) to settle the other payables and accrued charges; and (ii) as the working capital for operational and administrative expenses of the Group for the upcoming twelve months, which are approximately HK$5.2 million and HK$7.6 million respectively, and approximately HK$12.8 million in total (representing approximately 10.5% of the net proceeds assuming all Rights Shares are subscribed for by the Qualifying Shareholders). The remaining part of the net proceeds (if any) will be utilised in proportion to the intended use of net proceeds.

The Rights Issue is only available to Qualifying Shareholders. To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must be registered as a member of the Company on the Record Date and be a Qualifying Shareholder. In order to be registered as a member of the Company on the Record Date, all transfers of existing Shares (together with the relevant share certificate(s)) must be lodged with the Registrar by no later than 4:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on Thursday, 20 May 2021.

The Company will send the Issue Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders and the Prospectus (without the PALs and EAFs), for information only to the extent permitted under the relevant laws and regulations and reasonably practicable, to the Excluded Shareholders on the Despatch Date.

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT

On 4 May 2021 (after trading hours), the Company entered into the Underwriting Agreement with the Underwriter. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter has agreed to subscribe for, or procure the subscription for, on a best effort basis, any untaken Rights Shares of up to 634,892,864 Rights Shares (assuming no further issue of new Share(s) and no repurchase of Share(s) by the Company on or before the Record Date) subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Underwriting Agreement, in particular the fulfillment of the conditions contained therein. Details of the major terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement are set out in the section headed "Underwriting Agreement" in this announcement.

The Rights Issue is only underwritten on a best effort basis. Pursuant to the Company's constitutional documents, the Companies Act, the Companies (WUMP) Ordinance and the Listing Rules, there are no requirements for minimum levels of subscription in respect of the Rights Issue. Subject to fulfillment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue will proceed regardless of the ultimate subscription level.

In the event the Rights Issue is undersubscribed, any Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders or transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares or otherwise subscribed by the Underwriter or other subscribers procured by it pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly. Investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

CLOSURE OF REGISTER OF MEMBERS

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 21 May 2021 to Thursday, 27 May 2021 (both days inclusive) for determining the entitlements to the Rights Issue during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered.

GENERAL

The Company will apply to the Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms. The Issue Documents containing information on the Rights Issue are expected to be despatched to the Qualifying Shareholders on or around Friday, 28 May 2021. The Company will not extend the Rights Issue to the Excluded Shareholders. The Company will, to the extent permitted under the relevant laws and regulations and reasonably practicable, send the Prospectus to the Excluded Shareholders for information purposes only but will not send any PAL or EAF to them.

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

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the 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 sub-paragraph headed "Termination of the Underwriting Agreement" below). Accordingly, the Rights Issue may or may not proceed.

The Shares are expected to be dealt in on an ex-rights basis from Tuesday, 18 May 2021. Dealings in the Rights Shares in nil-paid form are expected to take place from Tuesday, 1 June 2021 to Tuesday, 8 June 2021 (both days inclusive).

Any Shareholder or other person contemplating transferring, selling or purchasing the Shares and/or Rights Shares in their nil-paid form is advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares and/or the nil-paid Rights Shares.

Any person 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). Any Shareholder or other person dealing in the Shares or in the nil-paid Rights Shares up to the date on which all the conditions to which the Rights Issue is subject are fulfilled (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.

PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE

The Company proposes to raise gross proceeds of approximately HK$127.0 million before expenses by way of a rights issue of up to 634,892,864 Rights Shares at a price of HK$0.2 per Rights Share on the basis of one (1) Rights Share for every two (2) existing Shares held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date.

Silverbricks Securities Company Limited

As at the date of this announcement, the Company does not have any outstanding convertible securities, options or warrants in issue or similar rights which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into the Shares.

Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the date of this announcement up to the Record Date, the maximum number of 634,892,864 Rights Shares to be issued and allotted pursuant to the Rights Issue (i) represent approximately 50% of the existing issue share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 33.3% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares. The Company has not conducted any rights issue, open offer and/ or specific mandate placing within the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of this announcement, or prior to such 12-month period where dealing in respect of the Shares issued pursuant thereto commenced within such 12-month period, nor has it issued any bonus securities, warrants or other convertible securities within such 12-month period. The Rights Issue does not result in a theoretical dilution effect of 25% or more on its own.

The Rights Issue is only underwritten on a best effort basis. Pursuant to the Company's constitutional documents and the Companies Act, there are no requirements for minimum levels of subscription in respect of the Rights Issue. Subject to fulfillment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue will proceed regardless of the ultimate subscription level.

4

In the event the Rights Issue is undersubscribed, any Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders or transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares or otherwise subscribed by the Underwriter or other subscribers procured by it pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly. Investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.2 per Rights Share, payable in full by a Qualifying Shareholder upon acceptance of the provisional allotment of the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue or applications for excess Rights Shares, or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

  1. a discount of approximately 10.31% to the closing price of HK$0.223 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  2. a discount of approximately 11.11% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.225 per Share for the last five consecutive trading days as quoted on the Stock Exchange up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  3. a discount of approximately 13.79% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.232 per Share for the last ten consecutive trading days as quoted on the Stock Exchange up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  4. a discount of approximately 6.98% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.215 per Share based on closing price of HK$0.223 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and
  5. a theoretical dilution effect (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) represented by a discount of approximately 3.56%, represented by the theoretical diluted price of approximately HK$0.217 per Share to the benchmarked price (as defined under Rule 7.27B of the Listing Rules) of approximately HK$0.225 per Share, taking into account the closing price on the Last Trading Day of HK$0.223 per Share and the average of the closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five previous consecutive trading days prior to the date of this announcement of approximately HK$0.225 per Share.

The Subscription Price and the subscription rate (i.e. one (1) Rights Share for every two (2) existing Shares held by the Qualifying Shareholders) was arrived at after arm's length negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter with reference to, among other things, the amount of fund raising targeted by the Company under the Rights Issue, the market price of the Shares under the prevailing market conditions and the financial position of the Group.

5

The Board considers that the discount of the Subscription Price would encourage Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and accordingly maintain their shareholdings in the Company and participate in the future growth of the Group and the terms of the Rights Issue (including the rate of the underwriting commission) to be fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

The estimated net price per Rights Share (assuming no further issue of new Shares or repurchase of Shares on or before the Record Date) after deducting the related expenses of the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$0.192.

Qualifying Shareholders and Excluded Shareholders

The Rights Issue will only be available to the Qualifying Shareholders. The Company will send the Issue Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders. The Company will not extend the Rights Issue to the Excluded Shareholders. The Company will, to the extent permitted under the relevant laws and regulations and reasonably practicable, send the Prospectus to the Excluded Shareholders for information purposes only but will not send any PAL or EAF to them.

To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must be registered as a member of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date and not be an Excluded Shareholder.

Shareholders having an address outside Hong Kong as shown on the register of members of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date will not qualify for the Rights Issue if the Board, after making relevant enquiries, considers that the exclusion of such Overseas Shareholders from the Rights Issue would be necessary or expedient on account either of legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place or any requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that place.

Shareholders with their Shares held by a nominee (or held in CCASS) should note that the Board will consider the nominee (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) as one single Shareholder according to the register of members of the Company and are advised to consider whether they would like to arrange for the registration of the relevant Shares in their own names prior to the Record Date.

In order for transferees to be registered as a member of the Company by the Record Date, any relevant transfer documents (together with the relevant share certificates) must be lodged with the Registrar, Union Registrars Limited at Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong by 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 20 May 2021. The last day for dealing in the Shares on a cum-rights basis is Monday, 17 May 2021.

Closure of register of members

The register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 21 May 2021 to Thursday, 27 May 2021 (both days inclusive) for determining the entitlements to the Rights Issue during which period no transfer of Shares will be registered.

Basis of provisional allotments

The basis of the provisional allotment shall be one (1) Rights Share (in nil-paid form) for every two (2) existing Shares held by the Qualifying Shareholders as at the close of business on the Record Date at the Subscription Price payable in full on acceptance and otherwise on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Underwriting Agreement and the Issue Documents.

6

Application for all or any part of a Qualifying Shareholder's provisional allotment should be made by duly completing a PAL and lodging the same with a cheque or a banker's cashier order sum payable for the Rights Shares being applied for with the Registrar on or before the Acceptance Date.

Rights of the Overseas Shareholders

If, at the close of business on the Record Date, a Shareholder's address on the Company's register of members is in a place outside Hong Kong, such Shareholder may not be eligible to take part in the Rights Issue. The Issue Documents to be despatched in connection with the Rights Issue will not be registered under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong.

The Company will comply with Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules and make enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the offer of the Rights Shares to the Overseas Shareholders, if any. If, based on the legal opinions to be provided by the legal advisers to the Company, the Directors consider that it is necessary or expedient not to offer the Rights Shares to the Overseas Shareholders on account of such offer being unlawful or impracticable due to either the legal restrictions under the laws of the place(s) of their registered address(es) or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body(ies) or stock exchange(s) in such place(s), the Rights Issue will not be extended to such Overseas Shareholders. Based on the latest Shareholders information available from the Registrar, the Company had no Overseas Shareholders as at the date of this announcement.

The Company will, to the extent permitted under the relevant laws and regulations and reasonably practicable, send the Prospectus to the Excluded Shareholders for information purposes only but will not send any PAL or EAF to them. Arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Excluded Shareholders to be sold in the market in their nil-paid form as soon as practicable after dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares commence and before dealings in nil-paid Rights Shares end, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. Any net proceeds of sale thereof, after deduction of expenses, will be distributed by the Company to the Excluded Shareholders in Hong Kong dollars, at their own risk, pro rata to their respective entitlements provided that if any of such persons would be entitled to a sum not exceeding HK$100, such sum will be retained by the Company for its own benefit. Any such unsold nil-paid Rights Shares to which such Excluded Shareholders would otherwise have been entitled, together with any Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted by the Qualifying Shareholders or otherwise not subscribed for by transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares, will be available for excess application by the Qualifying Shareholders under the EAF(s).

Overseas Shareholders should note that they may or may not be entitled to the Rights Issue, subject to the results of enquiries made by the Directors pursuant to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Overseas Shareholders should exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

Status of Rights Shares

The Rights Shares (when allotted, issued and fully paid) will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares then in issue. Holders of fully-paid Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions which may be declared, made or paid on or after the date of allotment and issue of the fully-paid Rights Shares. Dealings in the Rights Shares will be subject to payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, transaction levy, investor compensation levy or any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

7

Certificates for the Rights Shares and Refund Cheques for the Rights Shares

Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, share certificates for all fully-paid Rights Shares are expected to be posted on or about Tuesday, 22 June 2021 by ordinary post to the allottees, at their own risk, to their registered addresses. Refund cheques in respect of wholly or partially unsuccessful applications for the excess Rights Shares (if any) are expected to be posted on or about Tuesday, 22 June 2021 by ordinary post to the applicants, at their own risk, to their registered addresses.

Fractions of Rights Shares

The Company will not provisionally allot fractions of Rights Shares in nil-paid form to the Qualifying Shareholders. All fractions of Rights Shares will be aggregated (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) and all nil-paid Rights Shares arising from such aggregation will be sold in the market for the benefit of the Company if a premium (net of expenses) can be achieved. Any unsold fractions of Rights Shares will be made available for excess application by the Qualifying Shareholders under the EAF(s). No odd lot matching services will be provided.

Application for excess Rights Shares

Qualifying Shareholders may apply, by means of EAFs, for any unsold entitlements of the Excluded Shareholders, any Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not validly accepted by the Qualifying Shareholders or otherwise not subscribed for by transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares and for any unsold Rights Shares arising out of the aggregation of fractional entitlements.

Application for excess Rights Shares can be made only by duly completing and signing an EAF (in accordance with the instructions printed therein) and lodging the same with a separate cheque or banker's cashier order for the sum payable for the excess Rights Shares being applied for with the Registrar, Union Registrars Limited at Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong by not later than 4:00 p.m. Friday, 11 June 2021.

The Directors will allocate the excess Rights Shares (if any) at their discretion on a fair and equitable basis, and as far as practicable according to the principle that any excess Rights Shares will be allocated to Qualifying Shareholders who apply for them on a pro rata basis by reference to the number of excess Rights Shares applied for but no reference will be made to Rights Shares comprised in applications by PAL or the existing number of Shares held by Qualifying Shareholders. If the aggregate number of Rights Shares not taken up by Qualifying Shareholders under PALs is greater than the aggregate number of excess Rights Shares applied for through EAFs, the Directors will allocate to each Qualifying Shareholder who applies for excess Rights Shares in full application. No preference will be given to topping up odd lots to whole board lots.

Shareholders with Shares held by a nominee (or which are held in CCASS) should note that the Board will consider the nominee (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) as one single Shareholder according to the register of members of the Company. Accordingly, such Shareholders should note that the aforesaid arrangement in relation to the allocation of the excess Rights Shares will not be extended to the relevant beneficial owners individually.

8

Shareholders with Shares held by a nominee (or which are held in CCASS) are advised to consider whether they would like to arrange for the registration of their relevant Shares under the names of the beneficial owners prior to the Record Date for the purpose of the Rights Issue. Shareholders and investors should consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt as to their status.

For Shareholders whose Shares are held by their nominee(s) (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) and who would like to have their names registered on the register of members of the Company, they must lodge all necessary documents with the Registrar, Union Registrars Limited at Suites 3301-04, 33/F., Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong, for completion of the relevant registration not later than 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 20 May 2021.

Rights Issue on a best effort underwritten basis

The Rights Issue is only underwritten on a best effort basis. Any Shareholder who applies to take up all or part of his entitlement under the PAL or apply for excess Rights Shares under the EAF may also unwittingly incur an obligation to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code.

Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be made on terms that the Company will provide for the Shareholders (other than HKSCC Nominees Limited) to apply on the basis that if the Rights Shares are not fully taken up, the application of any Shareholder for his assured entitlement under the Rights Issue will be scaled down to a level which does not trigger an obligation on part of the relevant Shareholder to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code in accordance to the note to Rule 7.19(5)(b) of the Listing Rules. Investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares. There is no minimum amount to be raised under the Rights Issue.

Application for listing

The Company will apply to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares, in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms. The nil-paid and fully-paid Rights Shares are expected to have the same board lot size as the Shares, i.e. 20,000 Shares in one board lot. No part of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in or on which listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought on any other stock exchange.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of HKSCC, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the respective commencement dates of dealings in the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange or such other dates as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second trading day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. Shareholders should seek advice from their stockbroker or other professional adviser for details of those settlement arrangements and how such arrangements will affect their rights and interests.

Dealings in the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms which are registered in the branch register of members of the Company in Hong Kong will be subject to the payment of stamp duty and any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

    2. likely to have a material adverse effect on the success of the Rights Issue or the level of Rights Shares to be taken up; or
    3. so material as to make it inappropriate, inadvisable or inexpedient to proceed further with the Rights Issue,

then the Underwriter may, by notice in writing given to the Company on or before the Latest Time for Termination, rescind the Underwriting Agreement and the Rights Issue shall not proceed.

  2. Micah Holdings Limited, a private limited company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, and wholly and beneficially owned by Ms. Ji Jie, the spouse of Mr. Chen Yin, a former non-executive Director of the Company.
  3. This scenario is for illustrative purpose only. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriter undertake with the Company that (i) it shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that its sub-underwriter and subscribers or purchasers of the Underwritten Shares procured by it under the Underwriting Agreement as well as subscribers or purchasers procured by its sub-underwriter shall be a third party independent of, not acting in concert with and not connected with the Directors, chief executive or substantial shareholders of the Company or their respective associates; (ii) it shall, and shall cause its sub-underwriter to, procure independent subscribers or purchasers take up such number of Underwritten Shares (a) as necessary to ensure that the Public Float Requirements under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules are complied with by the Company and (b) such that it, its sub-underwriter and the subscribers or purchasers procured by it and by its sub-underwriter shall not, together with party(ies) acting in concert with each of them, become the controlling shareholder (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue.
  4. The Underwriter will underwrite solely on best effort basis, and not in a fully underwritten basis, in any event and not withstanding any provisions herein, it will not underwrite to the extent, together with any party acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code) or its associates, hold thirty per cent (30.0%) or more of the voting rights of the Company immediately upon completion of the Rights Issue.

Shareholders and public investors should note that the above shareholding changes are for illustration purposes only and the actual changes in the shareholding structure of the Company upon completion of the Rights Issue are subject to various factors, including the results of acceptance of the Rights Issue.

REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company is an investment company listed under Chapter 21 of the Listing Rules and its purpose is to achieve medium to long-term capital appreciation as well as income from interest and dividend by investing principally in listed and unlisted securities.

Assuming full subscription under the Rights Issue, the gross proceeds from the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$127.0 million and the estimated net proceeds of the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$122.0 million. The estimated expenses of the Rights Issue are approximately HK$5.0 million, which include underwriting commission and professional fees payable to the financial advisers, legal counsels, financial printer and other parties involved in the Rights Issue and will be borne by the Company. The net subscription price per Rights Share is expected to be approximately HK$0.192.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Rights Issue for the following purposes:

  1. approximately 81.97% (or approximately HK$100.0 million), will be used for future investments in the future pursuant to the investment objectives of the Company; and
  2. approximately 18.03% (or approximately HK$22.0 million) will be used as the general working capital of the Group.

In the event that there is an undersubscription of the Rights Issue, the net proceeds of the Rights Issue will first be utilised (i) to settle the other payables and accrued charges; and (ii) as the working capital for operational and administrative expenses of the Group for the upcoming twelve months, which are approximately HK$5.2 million and HK$7.6 million respectively, and approximately HK$12.8 million in total (representing approximately 10.5% of the net proceeds assuming all Rights Shares are subscribed for by the Qualifying Shareholders). The remaining part of the net proceeds (if any) will be utilised in proportion to the intended use of net proceeds.

16

The Board has considered various ways of raising funds and believe that the Rights Issue is the most efficient way in terms of time and costs for the Company. The Board considers it is prudent to finance the Group's long term growth by long term financing, preferably in the form of equity which will not increase the Group's finance costs. The Board has considered other fund raising alternatives before resolving to the Rights Issue, including but not limited to debt financing, placing and open offer.

Debt financing will result in additional interest burden, higher gearing ratio of the Group and subject the Group to repayment obligations. In addition, debt financing may not be achievable on favourable terms in a timely manner.

As for equity fund raising, such as placing of new Shares, it is relatively smaller in scale as compared to fund raising through rights issue and it would lead to immediate dilution in the shareholding interest of existing Shareholders without offering them the opportunity to participate in the enlarged capital base of the Company, which is not the intention of the Company.

As for open offer, while it is similar to a rights issue, offering qualifying shareholders to participate, it does not allow free trading of rights entitlements in the open market.

On the other hand, the Board considers that the Rights Issue, being pre-emptive in nature, would allow all Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the future development of the Company and at the same time offer more flexibility to the Qualifying Shareholders to choose whether to maintain, increase or decrease their respective pro rata shareholdings in the Company by taking up only their respective rights entitlement, acquiring additional rights entitlement or disposing of their rights entitlements in the open market (subject to availability).

Taking into consideration gross proceeds of approximately HK$127.0 million based on the Subscription Price (subject to the adjustment to the number of Rights Shares to be allotted and issued to them so as not to trigger an obligation to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code or result in the Company failing to comply with the Public Float Requirement (as the case may be)), the Board is of the view that the Rights Issue can serve the intended purpose of broadening the capital base of the Company. The Board expects that the Rights Issue will enable the Group to achieve improvement in its financial position and strengthening its competitiveness. The Board considers and reviews investment opportunities from time to time. In light of the prevailing volatile market conditions and the uncertainty brought about by the tension between the US and China as a result of the trade war, and the poor economic outlook due to novel coronavirus pandemic, the Board is of the view that it would be in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to raise additional funds at this time to strengthen its investment portfolio so as to capture any investment opportunities that may arise.

The funding required will depend on the availability of potential investees and the results of our researches and study procedures on them. Subject to the decision of the Board and the actual fund raised by the Rights Issue, the Company will adjust the selection criteria on the potential investment targets.

Accordingly, the Company may adjust its investment strategy, and thus, the Company considers that in the event that there is an undersubscription of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue is still able to achieve its intended purposes. The Board considers that fund raising through the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

In accordance with Rule 7.19A of the Listing Rules, as the Company has not conducted any rights issue or open offer within the 12-month period prior to the date of this announcement, and the Rights Issue will not increase the issued share capital of the Company by more than 50%, the Rights Issue is not subject to the approval of the Shareholders at a general meeting.

GENERAL

The Issue Documents containing information regarding, among other things, the Rights Issue, including information on acceptances of the Rights Shares and other information in respect of the Group, and PAL(s) and EAF(s) are expected to be despatched to the Qualifying Shareholders on or around Friday, 28 May 2021. The Company will, to the extend reasonably practicable and legally permitted and subject to the advice of legal advisers in the relevant jurisdictions in respect of applicable local laws and regulations, send the Prospectus to the Excluded Shareholders for information purposes.

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

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the 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 sub-paragraph headed "Termination of the Underwriting Agreement" below). Accordingly, the Rights Issue may or may not proceed.

The Shares are expected to be dealt in on an ex-rights basis from Tuesday, 18 May 2021. Dealings in the Rights Shares in nil-paid form are expected to take place from Tuesday, 1 June 2021 to Tuesday, 8 June 2021 (both days inclusive).

Any Shareholder or other person contemplating transferring, selling or purchasing the Shares and/or Rights Shares in their nil-paid form is advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares and/or the nil-paid Rights Shares.

Any person 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). Any Shareholder or other person dealing in the Shares or in the nil-paid Rights Shares up to the date on which all the conditions to which the Rights Issue is subject are fulfilled (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.
