SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT

  • SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW SHARES UNDER GENERAL MANDATE

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 6 August 2020 in relation to the subscription of new Shares under the General Mandate (the "Announcement"). Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement.

SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

On 10 August 2020 (after trading hours), a supplemental agreement (the "Supplemental Agreement") was entered into among the Company, the Subscriber and Mr. Tai Kwok Kei (the "New Subscriber") pursuant to which:

  1. the Subscriber has agreed to transfer to the New Subscriber the full benefit of and all remedies for enforcing the Subscription Agreement;
  2. the New Subscriber has undertaken to the Company to be bound by and perform the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement on the part of the Subscriber in every way as if the New Subscriber were named a party to the Subscription Agreement in substitution for the Subscriber; and
  3. the Company has agreed to release and discharge the Subscriber from the further performance of the Subscription Agreement and from all claims and demands whatsoever arising out of or in respect of the Subscription Agreement. The Company further accepts the liability of the New Subscriber to perform the Subscription Agreement in lieu of the liability of the Subscriber and acknowledges that the New Subscriber is entitled to the full benefit of the Subscription Agreement.

Save for the alterations necessary to give effect to the substitution of the New Subscriber as a party to the Subscription Agreement, all other terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

The New Subscriber is a resident of Hong Kong and is mainly engaged in investment business. The New Subscriber is the sole director of the Subscriber.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the New Subscriber is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules). Immediately before the entering into of the Supplemental Agreement, the New Subscriber does not have any interests in the Shares.

The Subscription Price of HK$0.10 per Subscription Share represented:

  1. a premium of approximately 40.85% to the closing price of HK$0.071 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the last trading day immediately prior to the date of the Supplemental Agreement (i.e. 7 August 2020) (the "Last Trading Day");
  2. a premium of approximately 30.89% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.0764 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and
  3. a premium of approximately 44.72% to the average of the closing prices of approximately HK$0.0691 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten consecutive trading days up to the including the Last Trading Day.

Given that completion of the Subscription is subject to a number of conditions, Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

The Company also wishes to provide supplemental information on the breakdown of the use of proceeds from the Subscription and updates on the TDR Repurchase.

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE SUBSCRIPTION

The net proceeds from the Subscription will be approximately HK$9,800,000, of which HK$7,000,000 will be used to replenish liquidity of the Company and the rest of HK$2,800,000 will be used as general working capital of the Group.

UPDATE ON THE TDR REPURCHASE

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 9 April 2020, 15 April 2020, 29 April 2020, 5 May 2020 and 4 August 2020 (the "Announcements") in relation to the delisting of TDRs of the Company as requested by the Taiwan Stock Exchange. Unless otherwise specified herein, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcements.

The Board wishes to inform the Shareholders, TDR Holders and potential investors of the Company that the total amount involved to repurchase the TDRs is approximately NT$26,490,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$6,971,000), has been paid by the Company to the Depositary Agent and is calculated by multiplying the total number of 97,748,625 units of TDRs that were required to be repurchased by the Company with the Repurchase Price of NT$0.271.

2

As at 3 August 2020 (being the last date for TDR Holders to submit their requests for the Company to repurchase their TDRs), the TDRs requested to be repurchased by the Company had been surrendered to the Depositary Agent for cancellation. Other outstanding procedures in relation to the TDR Repurchase includes:

  • the Depository Agent to notify the Hong Kong custodian of the underlying Shares representing the repurchased TDRs and the Hong Kong custodian will transfer such Shares to the Company. This is expected to be completed in mid-September 2020; and
  • upon receipt of the Shares surrendered by the Hong Kong custodian, the Company will instruct the Company's share registrar to arrange the Shares to be cancelled. The cancellation of Shares is expected to be completed by the end of September 2020.

Shareholders, TDR Holders and potential investors of the Company should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company
