SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW SHARES

UNDER GENERAL MANDATE

THE SUBSCRIPTION

On 11 July 2019 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Company entered into the Subscription Agreement with the Subscriber pursuant to which the Subscriber has agreed to subscribe for, and the Company has agreed to allot and issue, 230,000,000 Subscription Shares at the Subscription Price of HK$0.38 per Subscription Share.

The Subscription Shares represent (i) approximately 8.88% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 8.15% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares (assuming there will be no other changes in the issued share capital of the Company between the date of this announcement and the completion of the Subscription).

The Subscription Price of HK$0.38 per Subscription Share represents: (i) a premium of approximately 54.47% to the closing price of HK$0.246 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and (ii) a premium of approximately 61.43% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.2354 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day.

The Subscription provides additional and on-time fundings with less cost of capital and time constraint, compared to the current capital and debt structure, which reduces cost of fundings and bridges working capital gap between uncertain and long fund return cycle of business projects in the PRC and fixed maturity date from debtors, especially under the current economic uncertainty. Each of the gross proceeds and net proceeds from the issue of the Subscription Shares is estimated to be approximately HK$87,400,000 and HK$87,380,000 respectively. The Company intends to use the net proceeds for repayment of certain outstanding financial indebtedness of the Company.

Completion of the Subscription is subject to fulfilment of the conditions under the Subscription Agreement. As the Subscription may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
