PLACING OF NEW SHARES UNDER GENERAL MANDATE

Joint Global Coordinators, Bookrunners and Placing Agents

On March 16, 2021, the Company and the Placing Agents entered into the Placing Agreement, pursuant to which the Placing Agents agreed on a several (and not joint nor joint and several) basis to place up to 50,000,000 Placing Shares on a best efforts basis at a price of HK$20.80 per Share. Assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the date of this announcement and the Closing Date, the maximum number of Placing Shares represent approximately 6.09% of the existing number of issued shares of the Company and approximately 5.74% of the number of issued shares of the Company as enlarged by the Placing.

Assuming all the Placing Shares are fully placed under the Placing Agreement, the Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Placing for business development or investment when opportunities arise, as well as for working capital and general purposes of the Group. As of the date of this announcement: (1) the Company has plans to invest in businesses or goals related to its core business, but has not yet determined any specific investment or acquisition targets; (2) the Group has not entered into any agreements on such investments or acquisitions; and (3) there has not been a plan for the allocation of such net proceeds between possible investments or acquisitions and general working capital. The Company will make announcements on any such investments or acquisitions in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules where appropriate.

As the Placing Agents have the right to terminate the Placing Agreement in accordance with the termination events thereunder and completion of the Placing is subject to the fulfilment of certain condition, the Placing may or may not proceed to completion. Shareholders and prospective investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

PLACING AGREEMENT

Date:

March 16, 2021

Parties:

  • (1) the Company;

  • (2) Citigroup Global Markets Limited and CLSA Limited as joint global coordinators, bookrunners and collectively the Placing Agents.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the Placing Agents are independent of and not connected with the Company and the connected persons of the Company.

Number of Placing Shares

The maximum number of Placing Shares is 50,000,000, representing approximately 6.09% of the existing number of issued shares of the Company and approximately 5.74% of the number of issued shares as enlarged by the Placing assuming there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the date of this announcement and the Closing Date. Based on the par value of US$0.01 per Share, the maximum aggregate nominal value of the Placing Shares is US$500,000.

Placing Price

The Placing Price is HK$20.80 per Share and represents:

(i) a discount of approximately 12.42% to the closing price of HK$23.75 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on March 15, 2021, being the last full trading day immediately preceding the date of releasing this announcement; and

(ii) a premium of approximately 0.14% to the average closing price of approximately HK$20.77 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 5 consecutive trading days up to and including March 15, 2021.

The net Placing Price (after deducting related costs and expenses to be borne by the Company) is approximately HK$20.64 per Share.

The Placing Price was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agents after taking into account the recent market price of the Shares and the current market conditions.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the Placing Price to be fair and reasonable under the current market conditions and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Rights of the Placing Shares

The Placing Shares will, on allotment and issue, be free from all liens, charges and encumbrances, and together with all rights attaching thereto as at the date of issue of the Placing Shares, including the right to receive all dividends declared, made or paid on or after the date of issue of the Placing Shares. The Placing Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with other existing Shares upon issuance.

Placees

The Placing Shares will be placed on a several (and not joint nor joint and several) basis, by the Placing Agents, on a best effort basis, to not less than six independent professional, institutional and/or other investors. It is not expected that any placee will become a substantial shareholder of the Company as a result of the Placing.

The placees to be procured by the Placing Agents are expected to be independent of and not connected with the directors, chief executive or substantial shareholders of the Company or its subsidiaries or any of their respective associates.

General mandate to issue the Placing Shares

The Placing Shares will be issued under the general mandate granted by the Shareholders to the Directors pursuant to the resolution of the Shareholders passed at the annual general meeting held on June 18, 2020. Pursuant to such mandate, the Directors were granted authority to issue up to 163,620,000 new Shares, representing 20% of the number of issued Shares as at June 18, 2020.

Since the grant of the general mandate on June 18, 2020 and prior to the Placing, the Directors have not exercised their power to allot and issue any new Shares pursuant to such general mandate. Accordingly, the issue of the Placing Shares will fall within the limit of the general mandate and will not be subject to approval by the Shareholders.

Condition of the Placing

Completion of the Placing is conditional upon the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange having granted the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares (and such listing and permission not subsequently being revoked prior to the delivery of definitive share certificates(s) representing the Placing Shares pursuant to the Placing Agreement).

If the above condition has not been satisfied at or prior to 8:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) on the Closing Date, the Placing Agents and the Company shall have no obligations or liabilities to each other under the Placing and neither the Placing Agents nor the Company shall have any claim against the other for costs, damages, compensation or otherwise arising under the Placing Agreement save for antecedent breaches.

In the event the Placing Agents terminate the Placing Agreement, all obligations of the parties under the Placing Agreement will cease and determine and no party will have any claim against any other party save for any antecedent breach of any obligation under the Placing Agreement.
