Adjustment provisions:

The Conversion Price shall from time to time be adjusted upon occurrence of the following events:

  • (1) consolidation or sub-division of Shares:

    The Conversion Price in force immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the following fraction:

    where:

    • A is the revised nominal amount; and

    • B is the former nominal amount.

    Each such adjustment shall be effective from the close of business in Hong Kong on the day preceding the date on which the consolidation or sub-division becomes effective.

  • (2) capitalisation of profits or reserves:

    If and whenever the Company shall issue any Shares credited as fully paid (other than in lieu of cash dividend) by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves of the Company and which would not have constituted a capital distribution, the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such issue by the following fraction:

where:

A is the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Shares immediately before such issue; and

B is the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Shares immediately after such issue.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the day after the record date of such issue.

    where:

    A is the aggregate number of Shares in issue immediately before such scrip dividend;

    B is the aggregate number of Shares which the relevant cash dividend would purchase at such Current Market Price; and

    C is the aggregate number of Shares issued pursuant to such scrip dividend.

    Such adjustment shall become effective on the date after the day that such dividend is paid.

  • (4) capital distribution:

    If and whenever the Company shall pay or make any capital distribution to the Shareholders (except where the Conversion

    Price falls to be adjusted under (b) above), the Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such capital distribution by the following fraction:

where:

A is the current market price of one Share on the last Trading

Day preceding the date on which the capital distribution is

publicly announced; and

B is the fair market value on the date of such announcement of the portion of the capital distribution attributable to one Share.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date after the day that such capital distribution is made.

(5) offer of new Shares for subscription by way of rights, or grant to Shareholders any options or warrants to subscribe for new

Shares at a price which is less than 95% of the then current market price at the date of the circular of the terms of such offer. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such issue or grant by the following fraction:

where:

A is the number of Shares in issue immediately before such

announcement;

B is the number of Shares which the aggregate amount (if any)

payable for the Shares issued by way of rights or for the options or warrants or other rights issued or granted by way of rights and for the total number of Shares comprised therein would purchase at such current market price per Share; and

C is the aggregate number of Shares issued or, as the case may be, comprised in the issue or grant.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such Shares or issue or grant of such options, warrants or other rights (as the case may be).

(6) issue of Shares or options, warrants or any securities which carry rights of subscription for or acquisition of new Shares (save for shares issued under the Convertible Bond, the Existing CB and options granted under the Share Option Schemes), at a price which is less than 95% of the then current market price at the date of the circular of the terms of such issue. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such issue or grant by the following fraction:

A+B

C

where:

A is the aggregate number of Shares in issue immediately before the issue of such additional Shares or the issue or grant of such options, warrants or other rights to acquire Shares;

B is the number of Shares which the aggregate consideration (if any) receivable for the issue of such additional Shares or, as the case may be, for the Shares to be issued or otherwise made available upon the exercise of any such options, warrants or rights, would purchase at such Current Market Price per Share; and

C is the number of Shares in issue immediately after the issue of such additional Shares.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of the securities or grant of such rights, options or warrants (as the case may be).

(7) issue of Shares (other than as mentioned in (5) and (6) above)

by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or issue of securities (at the direction or request of or pursuant to any arrangements with the Company or any of its subsidiaries) by any other company, person or entity which by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for or carry rights of subscription for new Shares (save for shares issued under the Convertible Bond, the Existing CB and options granted under the Share Option Schemes), at a price which is less than 95% of the then current market price at the date of the circular of the terms of such issue. The Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price in force immediately before such issue by the following fraction:

Where:

A is the number of Shares in issue immediately before such issue;

B is the number of Shares which the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company for the Shares to be issued on conversion or exchange or on exercise of the right of subscription attached to such securities would purchase at such Current Market Price per Share; and

C is the maximum number of Shares to be issued on conversion or exchange of such securities or on the exercise of such rights of subscription attached thereto at the initial conversion, exchange or subscription price or rate.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of such securities.

Conditions Precedent

Completion is conditional upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

  • (1) the Shareholders having passed all necessary resolutions at a special general meeting of the Company according to applicable laws (including but not limited to the Listing Rules) to approve the Subscription Agreement and transactions contemplated thereunder, including but not limited to the Specific Mandate;

  • (2) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Conversion Shares; and

  • (3) the Company and the Subscriber having obtained all necessary consents and approvals required to be obtained, including validation order, on their respective part in respect of the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (if applicable), and fully complied with relevant laws and regulations (including but not limited to the Listing Rules and applicable laws of Hong Kong). All such consents and approvals shall remain valid up to the date of Completion and there being no rules or regulations imposed by relevant authorities to prohibit or substantially delay the performance and completion of the Subscription Agreement; and

  • (4) The Company having appointed a non-executive director nominated by the Subscriber to the Board.

In the event that the above conditions are not fulfilled on or before the Long Stop Date or such other date as the Company and the relevant Subscriber may agree in writing, the relevant Subscription Agreement shall automatically terminate and lapse, and the relevant Subscriber and the Company shall forthwith be released from their respective rights and obligations under the relevant Subscription Agreement, except for the obligations in relation to confidentiality. The Company will re-comply with all the applicable Listing Rule requirements (including obtaining shareholder approval as required under Rule 13.36(1)) in the event that the Long Stop Date has to be extended beyond 30 April 2021, and the Specific Mandate will only remain valid up to 30 April 2021.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions precedent have been fulfilled.

Validation Order

References are made to the announcements of the Company dated 5 August 2019, 28 August 2019, 23 September 2019, 25 September 2019, 27 September 2019, 20 November 2019, 11 December 2019, 16 December 2019, 31 December 2019, 12 January 2020, 17 January 2020, 20 January 2020, 3 February 2020, 20 March 2020, 25 March 2020, 27 March 2020, 31 March 2020, 19 June 2020, 5 October 2020, 11 January 2021 and 5 February 2021 regarding, inter alia, the winding up petition against the Company and the Time Summons for extension of time for the Payment into Court. The Company's application for validation orders to complete the share subscription under general mandate as announced by the Company on 10 March 2020 (the ''Share Subscription'') and the CB Subscription has been dealt with by the Court by paper disposal and a decision by the Court has been handed down on 29 January 2021 (the ''Decision'').

According to the Decision, section 182 of the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32) (''Section 182'') is engaged only if the subject matter concerns a ''disposition of the property of the company'', ''transfer of shares'' ,or ''alteration in the status of the members of the company''.

The Decision clarified that issuing of convertible bonds by the Company would not engage Section 182, as they would not involve any ''transfer of shares'' or ''alteration in the status of the members'' of the Company. Hence, the absence of a validation would not inhibit the Company from proceeding with the Share Subscription and the Subscription.

The Company's application for validation orders to complete the Subscription was therefore dismissed. The Court also confirmed that if Section 182 had been engaged, the Court would have granted a validation order for the Share Subscription and the Subscription as raising of fresh capital would not prejudice the interests of creditors or contributories.

In view of the Decision, the Company has been legally advised that the Company could proceed with the Subscription.

For the avoidance of doubt, the validation order granted by the Court on 23 September 2019, as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 23 September 2019 for, inter alia, the transfer of the Company's shares on or after 30 July 2019, remained in effect.

To the best of the Board's knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Subscriber and its respective ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties of (i) the Company and (ii) the holder of the Existing CB. The Subscriber would be a passive investors of the Company. The Subscriber was referred by parties involved in debt restructuring of the Company in the second half of year 2020. There are no past of existing relationships (including financial, business or other) or transactions between the Subscriber and the Group.

REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION

The Company is a company incorporated in Bermuda with limited liability and is an investment holding company. Its subsidiaries are principally engaging in the shipbuilding related business, trading business, finance leasing business, intelligent car-parking and automotive device business and steel structure engineering and installation business. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has no intention to dispose of or downsize its existing businesses and introduce new business.

The Company has considered alternative financing method, among others, bank borrowings and rights issue or open offer. In respect of bank borrowings, the Directors are of the view that the ability of the Group to obtain bank borrowings usually depends on the Group's profitability and financial position as well as the prevailing market condition and may be subject to lengthy due diligence and internal risk assessment by and negotiations with financial institutions. The Directors consider that it is impracticable to obtain third party financing on terms favourable to the Group in the absence of material assets as security, let alone the loss-making position of the Group.

In relation to a pre-emptive rights issue or open offer, the Company will need to undergo a relatively lengthy process. The Directors believe that the time cost would be higher for the Company to conduct placing or pre-emptive issues such as rights issue or open offer as compared to the issue of Convertible Bonds, as additional time will be needed for the Company to identify underwriter(s) and the placing agent and for the financial institutions to identify potential placees, and a pre-emptive issue typically runs a longer timetable due to the need to issue prospectus, closure of the register of members to determine entitlement of Shareholders and allow a minimum subscription period. In addition, rights issue or open offer is subject to underwriting uncertainty and market risk and it may incur a high underwriting fee/placing commission. The administrative costs involved would also be higher due to the need to issue prospectus, application forms and fees to professional parties.

Having considered (i) the Subscription will be fully subscribed by the Subscriber, demonstrating its confidence in the Company's future development; (ii) the Subscription can raise immediate funding for the Group without imposing immediate dilution on the shareholding of the existing Shareholders, or at unfavorable terms given the critical financial condition of the Group, to repay its outstanding debt and enhance its working capital; and (iii) given the Company is in critical financial condition with the Petition, net liability value and loss-making position, the Group expects it would not receive any concrete feedback if applying for bank loans or facilities, the Board consider that the issue of the Convertible Bonds would be the most appropriate and timely fund raising method, regardless the potential significant dilution effect, to meet the financial needs of the Company and is fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and is in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

The Directors consider that the Subscription offers a good opportunity to raise additional funds to strengthen the financial position and broaden the capital base of the Group upon exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Bond so as to facilitate its future development.

The Directors consider that the terms of the Subscription Agreement, which were arrived at arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber, are fair and reasonable and are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The gross proceeds and net proceeds of the Subscription will be approximately HK$30,000,000 and HK$29,700,000 respectively. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds towards repayment of debts owed by the Group and the remaining for general working capital in which,

  • - approximately HK$20,000,000, being 67.3% of the net proceeds for repayment of the outstanding loans and interest owed by the Group; and

  • - approximately HK$9,700,000, being 32.7% of the net proceeds for general working capital of the Group.
