CLARIFICATION
AND
SUPPLEMENTAL ANNOUNCEMENT
IN RELATION TO
PLACING OF EXISTING SHARES
AND SUBSCRIPTION OF
NEW SHARES UNDER GENERAL MANDATE
- 1 -
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 15 October 2019 in relation to, among other things, the Placing and the Subscription pursuant to the Placing and Subscription Agreement dated 14 October 2019 (the "Announcement"). Unless otherwise stated, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meaning as defined in the Announcement.
CLARIFICATION
Dispensation from Rule 26 of The Takeovers Code
For the purposes of the Takeovers Code, Sky Infinity Holdings Limited, Walong Holdings Limited, Mantong (HK) Trading Co., Ltd., Mr. Hoi Kin Hong, Ms. Wong Lai Chan, Mr. Hoi Wa Fong, Ms. Shih Sze Ni and Ms. Hoi Wa Fan (the "Vendor's Concert Parties") are parties acting or presumed to be acting in concert with the Vendor in respect of its voting rights in the Company. As at the date of the Announcement, the Vendor and the Vendor's Concert Parties held in aggregate approximately 67.58% of the voting rights in the Company.
As a result of the Placing, the aggregate percentage shareholding of the Vendor and the Vendor's Concert Parties has reduced from approximately 67.58% to approximately 63.91% and, as a result of the Subscription, their aggregate percentage shareholding will increase from approximately 63.91% to approximately 65.19% (assuming there will be no change to the total number of Shares in issue from the date of this announcement to the completion of the Subscription other than the issue by the Company of the Subscription Shares).
The Vendor and the Vendor's Concert Parties have confirmed that, as at the date of the Placing and Subscription Agreement, they together have continuously held more than 50% of the voting rights of the Company for at least 12 months immediately preceding date of the Placing and Subscription Agreement.
Pursuant to Note 6 on dispensations from Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code, a waiver from the obligation to make a general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code is not required where a shareholder, together with persons acting in concert with it, have continuously held more than 50% of the voting rights of a company for at least 12 months immediately preceding the relevant placing and top-up transaction.
Given the Vendor and the Vendor's Concert Parties have continuously held more than 50% of the voting rights of the Company for at least 12 months immediately preceding the date of the Placing and Subscription Agreement, a waiver from the obligation to make a general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code is not required for the Subscription.
Placing Price
The Placing Price is HK$5.40 per Share and represents:
- a discount of approximately 8.63% to the closing price of HK$5.91 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
- 2 -
- a discount of approximately 5.86% to the average closing price of HK$5.736 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five (5) consecutive trading days prior to the Last Trading Day; and
- a discount of approximately 4.32% to the average closing price of HK$5.644 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten (10) consecutive trading days prior to the Last Trading Day.
THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT
Pursuant to the Placing and Subscription Agreement, completion of the Subscription is conditional upon the satisfaction of the following conditions:
- the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange having granted the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares (and such listing and permission not subsequently being revoked prior to the delivery of definitive share certificate(s) representing the Subscription Shares);
- completion of the Placing having occurred pursuant to the terms of the Placing and Subscription Agreement; and
- the Executive granting the Vendor a waiver from the obligation as a result of the Subscription to make a general offer under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code.
On 17 October 2019, the Company, the Vendor and the Placing Agents entered into a supplemental agreement to the Placing and Subscription Agreement (the "Supplemental Agreement"), pursuant to which the parties thereto have agreed to delete condition precedent
- above in its entirety. As a result of the entering of the Supplemental Agreement, no application will be made by the Vendor to the Executive for the granting of a waiver from general offer obligation that might otherwise arise under the Takeovers Code as a result of the Subscription.
As at the date of this announcement, condition (b) has been fulfilled.
Subject only to the deletion as described above and such other consequential alterations (if any) as may be necessary to make the Placing and Subscription Agreement consistent with the Supplemental Agreement, the Placing and Subscription Agreement (as amended) shall remain in full force and effect.
