DECISION OF THE LISTING COMMITTEE ON CANCELLATION OF LISTING

On 7 May 2021, the Company received a letter (the "Letter") from the Stock Exchange stating that the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange (the "Listing Committee") has decided to cancel the Company's listing under Rule 6.01A(1) of the Listing Rules (the "Delisting Decision"). The Listing Committee arrived at the Delisting Decision for the following reasons:

  1. The Company failed to publish all outstanding financial results and address audit modifications by the resumption deadline of 30 September 2020 and the date of the Letter. In particular, there was a significant uncertainty that the Company would be able to publish its annual results for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 ("FY2020 Annual Results") and reach a settlement with the Petitioner. It was also uncertain whether the Company could resolve audit qualifications for FY2020 Annual Results.
  2. The Listing Committee remained concerned on the integrity of Mr. Tsui Cham To, the former chairman and executive director of the Company, that he may still be able to take part in or exert significant influence over the Group's management and operations.

POSSIBLE REVIEW OF THE DELISTING DECISION

Under Rules 2B.06(2) and 2B.08(1) of the Listing Rules, the Company has the right to request within 7 business days of the date of the Letter (i.e. 17 May 2021) to have the Delisting Decision reviewed by the Listing Review Committee (as defined in the Listing Rules). The Company is currently considering and evaluating the Delisting Decision and seeking professional advice as to the appropriate course of action. The Company will consider lodging a request for review of the Delisting Decision before 17 May 2021. The Company hereby reminds its shareholders and potential investors that (i) the Company may or may not proceed with the review of the Delisting Decision; and (ii) the outcome of such review, if undertaken, is uncertain. The Company will make further announcement(s) in this regard as and when appropriate and in accordance with the Listing Rules. Shareholders and potential investors who have any queries about the implications of the Delisting Decision are advised to seek professional advice as they may consider appropriate.
