The Board announces that the board lot size for trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange will be changed from 2,000 Shares to 100 Shares with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 11 May 2021. Shareholders may submit their Existing Share Certificates in board lot of 2,000 Shares each to the Share Registrar in exchange for New Share Certificates in board lot of 100 Shares each free of charge between 9:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on any business day from Tuesday, 27 April 2021 to Thursday, 3 June 2021, both dates inclusive.

The Board announces that the board lot size for trading in the Shares on the Stock Exchange will be changed from 2,000 Shares to 100 Shares with effect from 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 11 May 2021.

The Shares are currently traded in board lots of 2,000 Shares each. The Board expects that the reduction in board lot size will lower the threshold for investors to purchase the Shares, thus facilitating the trading and improving the liquidity of the Shares, which will enable the Company to attract more investors and therefore broaden the shareholders' base of the Company. Upon the change in board lot size becoming effective, the Shares shall be traded in board lots of 100 Shares each. Based on the closing price of HK$26.75 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the date of this announcement, the market value per each board lot of the Shares before the change in board lot size is HK$53,500 and will be HK$2,675 after the change in board lot size.

The change in board lot size will not result in any change in the relative rights of the Shareholders. As no odd lots of the Shares will result from the aforesaid change in board lot size, no odd lot arrangement is required to be made to match the sales and purchases of odd lots. The Board considers that the change in board lot size to be in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

However, as at the date of this announcement, the Company does not have any definite plan to conduct any other corporate actions or arrangements in the next 12 months, including share consolidation, share subdivision and change in board lot size, which would offset the effect of the change in board lot size.
