To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquires, each of the Placees (and, where appropriate, their respective ultimate beneficial owners) is not a connected person of the Company and is a third party independent of and not acting in concert with the directors, chief executive or substantial shareholders of the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective associates.

The gross proceeds from the Placing are approximately HK$42 million and the net proceeds from the Placing, after deducting the placing commission and other professional fees incurred by the Company in the Placing, are approximately HK$41 million. The net proceeds of the Placing will be utilized by the Company for replenishing the working capital of the Group, including the payment of office overheads such as salaries and emoluments and rental expenses.

EFFECTS ON SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY

The 289,666,000 Placing Shares represent (i) approximately 20% of the issued share capital of the Company immediately before completion of the Placing; and (ii) approximately 16.67% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of the 289,666,000 Placing Shares.
