PROPOSED ISSUE OF CONVERTIBLE BONDS

On 12 May 2021 (after trading hours), the Company entered into the conditional CB Subscription Agreement with the Subscriber, pursuant to which the Subscriber has conditionally agreed to subscribe for and the Company has conditionally agreed to issue the Convertible Bonds.

The initial Conversion Price represents (i) a premium of approximately 5.16% over the closing price of HK$1.550 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 12 May 2021, being the date of the CB Subscription Agreement; and (ii) a premium of approximately 7.66% over the average of the closing prices of HK$1.514 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five

  1. consecutive trading days immediately preceding 12 May 2021, being the date of the CB Subscription Agreement. The Conversion Price was arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber, taking into account of, among others, the recent trading performance of the Shares. The Directors consider that the Conversion Price and the terms and conditions of the CB Subscription Agreement and the Convertible Bonds are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

On the assumption that the Convertible Bonds would be converted into Conversion Shares in full at the initial Conversion Price, the 30,674,846 Conversion Shares represent approximately 7.67% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and approximately 7.12% of the issued share capital of the Company as to be enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Conversion Shares.
