(Stock Code: 8272) PLACING OF NEW SHARES UNDER GENERAL MANDATE Placing Agent THE PLACING

The Board is pleased to announce that on 19 July 2017 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Company and the Placing Agent entered into the Placing Agreement pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to place through the Placing Agent, on a best effort basis, of up to 528,360,000 Placing Shares, to currently expected not less than six Placees who and whose ultimate beneficial owners shall be Independent Third Parties at a Placing Price of HK$0.02 per Placing Share.

Assuming that there will be no change in the issued Shares between the date of the announcement and the Completion, the maximum number of the Placing Shares of up to 528,360,000 Shares under Placing represents (i) 20.00% of the existing issued Shares as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 16.67% of the issued Shares as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Placing Shares.

The Placing Price of HK$0.02 per Placing Share represents (i) a discount of approximately 9.09% to the closing price of HK$0.022 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Placing Agreement; and (ii) a discount of approximately 9.09% to the average of the closing prices per Share of approximate HK$0.022 as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Placing Agreement.

The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued under the General Mandate. The allotment and issue of the Placing Shares is not subject to the approval of the Shareholders. The Placing is conditional upon the grant by the Stock Exchange of the listing of, and permission to deal in, all of the Placing Shares.

Assuming the maximum number of the Placing Shares is placed under the Placing Agreement, the gross proceeds from the Placing will be approximately HK$11 million and the net proceeds will be approximately HK$10 million (after deduction of commission and other expenses of the Placing). The Directors intend to apply the net proceeds from Placing as to approximately HK$3 million for partial repayment of outstanding interest of the Convertible Bonds and approximately HK$7 million for the general working capital of the Group.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company shall be aware that Completion is subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in the Placing Agreement. As the Placing may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares. THE PLACING
