The Rights Issue is only available to Qualifying Shareholders. To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must be registered as a member of the Company on the Record Date and must not be a Non-Qualifying Shareholder. In order to be registered as members of the Company on the Record Date, Shareholders must lodge any transfers of Shares (together with the relevant share certificates) with the Registrar for registration no later than 4 : 30 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on Thursday, 6 May 2021.

Mr. Chu, the Controlling Shareholder, has given an irrevocable undertaking in favour of the Company to subscribe or procure his controlled corporation to subscribe for 43,600,000 Rights Shares, which will be provisionally allotted to Golden Villa under the Rights Issue.

Taking into account the Undertaken Shares, the Rights Issue will be fully underwritten by the Underwriter pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement. Details of the Underwriting Agreement are set out in the paragraph headed ''Underwriting arrangement and undertaking - The Underwriting Agreement'' below in this announcement.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As the Rights Issue will not increase either the number of issued shares or the market capitalisation of the Company by more than 50% within the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of this announcement, the Rights Issue is not conditional on approval by the Shareholders pursuant to Rule 7.19A(1) of the Listing Rules.

WARNING ON THE RISKS OF DEALING IN THE SHARES AND THE NIL-PAID RIGHTS SHARES

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the Rights Issue is upon the Underwriting Agreement having become unconditional and the Underwriter not having terminated the Underwriting Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. Accordingly, the Rights Issue may or may not proceed.

Shareholders should note that the Shares are expected to be dealt in on an ex-right basis from Wednesday, 5 May 2021. Dealings in the Rights Shares in the nil-paid form will take place from Tuesday, 18 May 2021 to Wednesday, 26 May 2021 (both dates inclusive).

- 2 -

Any Shareholder or other person contemplating selling or purchasing the Shares and/or nil-paid Rights Shares up to the date when the conditions of the Rights Issue are fulfilled will bear the risk that the Rights Issue may not become unconditional and may not proceed. Shareholders and the public are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares and any dealings in the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form from Tuesday, 18 May 2021 to Wednesday, 26 May 2021 (both dates inclusive) will accordingly bear the risk that the Right Issue cannot become unconditional and may not proceed. Any Shareholders or other persons contemplating any dealings in the Shares or nil-paid Rights Shares are recommended to consult their own professional advisers.

PROPOSED RIGHTS ISSUE

The Company proposes to raise approximately HK$39.6 million, before expenses, by issuing 120,000,000 Rights Shares by way of rights issue at the Subscription Price of HK$0.33 per Rights Share, on the basis of one (1) Rights Share for every two (2) existing Shares held on the Record Date.

As at the date of this announcement, the Company does not have any outstanding convertible securities, options or warrants in issue or similar rights which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into the Shares.

- 3 -

Assuming that there is no change in the issued share capital of the Company from the date of this announcement up to the Record Date, the 120,000,000 Rights Shares to be issued and allotted pursuant to the Rights Issue (i) represent 50% of the existing issue share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 33.3% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares.

Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.33 per Rights Share, payable in full when a Qualifying Shareholder accepts his/her/its provisional allotment under the Rights Issue or application for excess Rights Shares or when a renouncee of any provisional allotment of the Rights Shares or a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares subscribes for the Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

  1. a discount of approximately 21.4% to the closing price of HK$0.42 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  2. a discount of approximately 20.7% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.416 per Share for the last five consecutive trading days as quoted on the Stock Exchange up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  3. a discount of approximately 19.6% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.4105 per Share for the last ten consecutive trading days as quoted on the Stock Exchange up to and including the Last Trading Day; and
  4. a discount of approximately 15.4% to the theoretical ex-rights price of approximately HK$0.39 per Share based on the closing price of HK$0.42 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day.

The Subscription Price was arrived at after arm's length negotiation between the Company and the Underwriter with reference to, among other things, the market price and trading liquidities of the Shares under the prevailing market conditions.

As all Qualifying Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares in the same proportion to his/her/its existing shareholding in the Company held on the Record Date, the Board considers that the discount of the Subscription Price would encourage the Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the future growth of the Group. The Board considers that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The estimated net price per Rights Share (assuming no further issue of new Shares or repurchase of Shares on or before the Record Date) after deducting the related expenses of the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$0.30.

Non-Qualifying Shareholders

The Prospectus Documents are not intended to be registered under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than Hong Kong.

Pursuant to Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules, the Company will make enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the Rights Issue to the Overseas Shareholders. The Company notes the requirements specified in section 140 of the Companies Ordinance and Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules and will only exclude from the Rights Issue the Overseas Shareholders whom the Directors, after making enquiries, consider it necessary or expedient to exclude on account of either the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant jurisdictions or any requirements of the relevant regulatory bodies or stock exchanges in such jurisdictions. The basis of exclusion of the Non-Qualifying Shareholders from the Rights Issue, if any, will be disclosed in the Prospectus. The Company will not offer the Rights Shares to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. Accordingly, no provisional allotment of Rights Shares will be sent to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders. The Company will, subject to the advice of the Company's legal advisers in the relevant jurisdiction(s) where the Non-Qualifying Shareholders are located and to the extent reasonably practicable, send copies of the Prospectus with the Overseas Letter to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders (if any) for their information only, but the Company will not send any PAL and EAF to them.

Arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares, which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders had they been Qualifying Shareholders, to be sold in the market in their nil-paid form as soon as practicable after dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares commence and in any event before dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares end, if a premium in excess of all expenses of sale can be obtained. The aggregate net proceeds of such sale will be distributed by the Company to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders (pro-rata to their respective entitlements on the Record Date and round down to the nearest cent) in Hong Kong dollars, provided that if any of such Non-Qualifying Shareholders would be entitled to a sum not less than HK$100. In view of administrative costs, the Company will retain individual amount of less than HK$100 for its own benefit. Any unsold nil-paid Rights Shares to which such Non-Qualifying Shareholders (if any) would otherwise have been entitled will be made available for excess application by the Qualifying Shareholders under the EAFs.

Overseas Shareholders and beneficial owners of the Shares who are residing outside Hong Kong should note that they may or may not be entitled to the Rights Issue pursuant to section 140 of the Companies Ordinance and Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules subject to the results of the enquiries made by the Board. The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any acceptance of or applications for Rights Shares where it believes that such acceptance or application would violate the applicable securities or other laws or regulations of any territory or jurisdiction. Accordingly, Overseas

- 7 -

Shareholders and beneficial owners of the Shares who are residing outside Hong Kong should exercise caution and consult their professional advisers when dealing in the Shares.

The Rights Issue does not constitute or form part of any offer or invitation to sell or issue, or any solicitation of any offer to acquire, nil-paid Rights Shares or fully-paid Rights Shares or to take up any entitlements to nil-paid Rights Shares or fully-paid Rights Shares in any jurisdiction in which such an offer or solicitation is unlawful. Shareholders and beneficial owners of the Shares (including, without limitation, their respective agents, custodians, nominees and trustees) should inform themselves of and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

Application for excess Rights Shares

Qualifying Shareholders may apply for, by way of excess application:

  1. any unsold entitlements to the Rights Shares of the Non-Qualifying Shareholder(s) (if any);
  2. any unsold Rights Shares created by aggregating fractions of the Rights Shares; and;
  3. any nil-paid Rights Shares provisionally allotted but not accepted by the Qualifying Shareholders or otherwise not subscribed for by renouncees or transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares

(collectively referred to as ''Untaken Rights'').

Applications for excess Rights Shares may be made by completing an EAF and lodging the same with a separate remittance for the full amount payable for the excess Rights Shares being applied for. The Directors will allocate any excess Rights Shares at their discretion on a fair and equitable basis on the following principles:

  1. any excess Rights Shares will be allocated to Qualifying Shareholders who apply for them as far as practicable on a pro-rata basis by reference to the number of the excess Rights Shares applied for under each application;
  2. no reference will be made to the Rights Shares subscribed through applications by PALs or the existing number of Shares held by Qualifying Shareholders;
  3. no preference will be given to applications for topping up odd-lot holdings to whole lot holdings; and
  4. pursuant to Rule 7.21(3)(b) of the Listing Rules, the Company will also take steps to identify the applications for excess Rights Shares made by any Controlling Shareholder or its associates (the ''Relevant Shareholders''), whether in their own names or through nominees.

- 8 -

The Company shall disregard the Relevant Shareholders' applications for excess Rights Shares to the extent that the total number of excess Rights Shares they have applied for exceeds a maximum number equivalent to the total number of Rights Shares offered under the Rights Issue minus the number of Rights Shares taken up by the Relevant Shareholders under their assured entitlement to the Rights Shares.

If the aggregate number of Rights Shares underlying the Untaken Rights is greater than the aggregate number of excess Rights Shares being applied for under EAFs, the Directors will allocate to each Qualifying Shareholder who applies for excess Rights Shares the actual number of excess Rights Shares being applied for. Any Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders and not taken up by excess applications will be taken up by the Underwriter pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement.

Investors whose Shares are held by a nominee (or which are held in CCASS) should note that the Board will regard the nominee (including HKSCC Nominees Limited) whose name appears on the register of members of the Company (the ''Registered Nominee'') as a single Shareholder under the aforesaid arrangement in relation to the allocation of excess Rights Shares. Beneficial owners who hold Shares through a Registered Nominee are advised to consider whether they would like to arrange for the registration of their Shares in their own names prior to the Record Date.

Investors whose Shares are held by a Registered Nominee and who would like to have their names registered on the register of members of the Company, must lodge all necessary documents with the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited of Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong for completion of the relevant registration by 4 : 30 p.m. on Thursday, 6 May 2021. The register of members of the Company will be closed from Friday, 7 May 2021 to Thursday, 13 May 2021, both dates inclusive.

Qualifying Shareholders who wish to apply for excess Rights Shares in addition to their provisional allotment must complete and sign an EAF and lodge it, together with a separate remittance for the amount payable on application in respect of the excess Rights Shares applied for, with the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Tricor Investor Services Limited on or before the Latest Time for Acceptance.

- 9 -

Fractions of the Rights Shares

The Company will not provisionally allot and issue and will not accept application for any fraction of the Rights Shares and the entitlements of the Qualifying Shareholders will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. All fractions of Rights Shares will be aggregated (rounded down to the nearest whole number). All nil-paid Rights Shares arising from such aggregation will be provisionally allotted (in nil-paid form) and sold in the market for the benefit of the Company if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained, and the Company will retain the proceeds from such sale. Any unsold fractions of Rights Shares will be made available for excess application by the Qualifying Shareholders under the EAFs.

Share certificates and refund cheques for the Rights Shares

Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, share certificates for all fully paid Rights Shares are expected to be posted to those who have accepted and (where applicable) applied for and paid for the Rights Shares on or before Tuesday, 8 June 2021 by ordinary post at their own risk. If the Rights Issue is terminated or for unsuccessful application for Rights Issue, refund cheques in respect of the acceptance for Rights Shares are expected to be posted on or before Tuesday, 8 June 2021 by ordinary post to the applicants at their own risk.

Application for listing of the Rights Shares

The Company will apply to the Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully paid forms on the Stock Exchange.

No part of the securities of the Company is listed or dealt in or on which listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought on any other stock exchange.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully paid forms on the Stock Exchange as well as compliance with the stock admission requirement of HKSCC, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully paid forms will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement dates of dealings in Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully paid forms on the Stock Exchange or such other date as may be determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. Shareholders should seek advice from their stockbrokers or other professional advisers for details of those settlement arrangements and how such arrangements will affect their rights and interests.

- 10 -

The nil-paid Rights Shares shall have the same board lot size as the Shares, i.e. 2,000 Shares per each board lot.

Dealings in the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully paid forms, which are registered in the branch register of members of the Company in Hong Kong, will be subject to the payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, the Securities and Futures Commission transaction levy, and any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company is an investment holding company and the Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of a broad range of batteries for various electronic devices to the PRC, Hong Kong and international markets both under its own brand ''Golden Power'' and the brands of its private label and OEM (i.e. original equipment manufacturing) customers. The products are mainly categorised into two segments, namely (i) disposable batteries; and (ii) rechargeable batteries and other battery-related products. The disposable batteries are categorised into two sub-segments, namely (i) cylindrical batteries; and (ii) microbutton cells. Other battery-related products include battery chargers, battery power packs and electric fans.

The Company is seeking to conduct the Rights Issue to repay some of its outstanding banking facilities, upgrading its equipment and machines, and replenish the future working capital of the Company so as to reduce the finance costs of the Group and improve the Group's profitability and cash flow.

The gross proceeds from the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$39.6 million. The net proceeds from the Rights Issue after deducting the estimated expenses in relation to the Rights Issue are estimated to be approximately HK$36.3 million. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Rights Issue as to (i) approximately HK$20.0 million, representing approximately 55.2% of the net proceeds, for fully repaying certain bank facilities; (ii) approximately HK$12.7 million, representing approximately 34.8% of the net proceeds, for upgrading its equipment and machines to produce mercury-free,cadmium-free and lead-free disposable cylindrical batteries; and (iii) the balance of HK$3.6 million, representing 10% of the net proceeds, as general working capital of the Group.

The estimated net price per Rights Share (assuming no further issue of new Shares or repurchase of Shares on or before the Record Date) after deducting the related expenses of the Rights Issue will be approximately HK$0.30.

The Board is of the view that the Rights Issue will enable the Group to strengthen its competitiveness and capital base and improve its financial position.

- 11 -

In light of the tightened policies and regulations in the European Union and the PRC, the demand in international battery markets for hazardous substance-free batteries has been evolving. In response to the market trend towards a higher standard of environmental protection, the Group has developed hazardous substance-free batteries which are mercury-free,cadmium-free and lead-free, and the Group intends to continue its strategy of investing in production facilities and automation to increase cost efficiency and productivity in developing hazardous substance-free batteries in order to capture the business opportunities.

Despite the inherent dilutive nature of the Rights Issue in general if the Qualifying Shareholders do not take up their entitlements under the Rights Issue in full, it is the intention of the Company to set the Subscription Price at a discount to the current market price of the Shares in order to encourage the Shareholders to participate in the Rights Issue and reduce the possible dilution of approximately 33.3% to the shareholding of the existing Shareholders in case they decide not to take up their entitlements under the Rights Issue. Furthermore, the Rights Issue will give the Qualifying Shareholders the opportunity to maintain their respective pro-rata shareholding in the Company and participate in the growth and development of the Group. Accordingly, the Directors are of the view that fund raising through the Rights Issue is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. However, those Qualifying Shareholders who do not take up the Rights Shares to which they are entitled and Non-Qualifying Shareholders should note that their shareholdings in the Company will be diluted upon completion of the Rights Issue.

The Board considers it is prudent to finance the Group's long term growth by long term financing, preferably in the form of equity which will not increase the Group's finance costs. The Board has considered other fund raising alternatives before resolving to the Rights Issue, including but not limited to debt financing, placing and open offer. Debt financing will result in additional interest burden, higher gearing ratio of the Group and subject the Group to repayment obligations. In addition, debt financing may not be achievable on favourable terms in a timely manner. The Board considers that the Rights Issue would allow all Qualifying Shareholders to participate in the future development of the Company and at the same time offer more flexibility to the Qualifying Shareholders to choose whether to maintain, increase or decrease their respective pro rata shareholdings in the Company by taking up only their respective rights entitlement, acquiring additional rights entitlement or disposing of their rights entitlements in the open market (subject to availability).

In view of the above, the Board considered that raising funds by way of the Rights Issue is beneficial to the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
