The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, further details of (i) the Placing; (ii) the proposed increase in the authorised share capital of the Company; and (iii) the notice convening the SGM. (1) THE PLACING THE PLACING AGREEMENT Date 11 December 2007 Issuer The Company Placing Agent The Placing Agent for the Placing has conditionally agreed to place a maximum of 8,000,000,000 Placing Shares on a best efforts basis. The Placing Agent will be entitled to receive a placing commission of 2.5% on the gross proceeds of the actual number of Placing Shares being placed by it. The Placing Agreement was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider such placing commission fair and reasonable. The Placing Agent and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules). Placees The Placing Agent agreed to place the Placing Shares on a best efforts basis to not less than six Placees, who and whose ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules). None of the individual Placee will become a substantial Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules) immediately after completion of the Placing. Placing Shares The aggregate of 8,000,000,000 Placing Shares represents approximately 483.26% of the existing issued share capital of the Company of 1,655,429,312 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and approximately 82.85% of the Company’s issued share capital of 9,655,429,312 Shares as enlarged by the Placing. –4– LETTER FROM THE BOARD Ranking of Placing Shares The Placing Shares will rank, upon issue, pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Placing Shares. Placing Price The Placing Price of HK$0.15 represents: (i) a discount of approximately 41.18% to the closing price of HK$0.255 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date; (ii) a discount of approximately 48.28% to the average closing price per Share of HK$0.29 in the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date; (iii) a discount of approximately 51.61% to the average closing price per Share of HK$0.31 in the last ten consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date; and (iv) a discount of approximately 45.45% to the closing price of HK$0.275 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Placing Price was determined after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and the Placing Agent with particular reference to (i) high volatility of the current equity capital market; (ii) the recent sluggish share price performance of small-to-medium size listed companies; (iii) poor operational and financial performance of the Group in the past few years; (iv) underperforming share price performance; and (v) highly leveraged capital structure of the Group, in particular, after completion of the Acquisition. According to the financial summary for the years 2002 to 2006 set out in the annual report 2006 of the Company, the Company has been consecutively making losses in the past five years, as to approximately HK$96.9 million, HK$33.6 million, HK$85.4 million, HK$76.6 million and HK$95.4 million for the years ended 31 December 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. Further but not last, according to the pro forma financial information of the enlarged Group set out in the Company’s circular dated 17 September 2007, assuming the Acquisition has been completed on 31 December 2006, the gearing ratio of the Group (calculated as a ratio of total liabilities to total assets) and the debts to equity ratio of the Group (calculated as a ratio of total non-current liabilities to total equity) would be hovered at an unacceptable financial stability level of approximately 90% and 560%, respectively. On the other hand, the Share price has also performed poorly in the past six months which has plunged by approximately 55.3% from HK$0.57 on 12 June 2007 to HK$0.255 on the Last Trading Date whereas the Hang Seng Index has surged by 38.1% for the same corresponding period. In view of the foregoing, the Directors consider that the Placing Price are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. –5– LETTER FROM THE BOARD Conditions of the Placing Completion of the Placing is conditional upon: (i) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting or agreeing to grant approval for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares; (ii) the passing of a resolution by the Shareholders to approve the Placing at the SGM; (iii) the passing of a resolution by the Shareholders to approve the increase of the authorized share capital of the Company to HK$1,000,000,000 at the SGM; and (iv) the Bermuda Monetary Authority approving the increase in the authorized share capital of the Company to HK$1,000,000,000 and the issue of the Placing Shares (if required). If any of the above conditions are not fulfilled prior to 10:00 a.m. of the Long Stop Date or such later time or date as may be agreed between the Placing Agent and the Company, the Placing Agreement shall terminate and subject to terms of the Placing Agreement, neither party shall have any claim against the other for any costs or losses (save for any antecedent breaches of the Placing Agreement). Termination and force majeure The Placing Agreement may be terminated by the Placing Agent if at any time at or before 10:00 a.m. on the date of completion of the Placing Agreement, there occurs: (i) the introduction of any new laws or regulations or any change in existing laws or regulations (or the judicial interpretation thereof) or other occurrence of any nature whatsoever which may, in the reasonable opinion of the Placing Agent, materially and adversely affect the business or the financial or trading position or prospects of the Group as a whole; or (ii) the occurrence of any local, national or international event or change (whether or not forming part of a series of events or changes occurring or continuing before and/or after the date hereof) of a political, military, financial, economic, currency (including a change in the system under which the value of the Hong Kong currency is linked to the currency of the United States of America) or other nature (whether or not sui generis with any of the foregoing), or in the nature of any local, national, international outbreak or escalation of hostilities or armed conflict, or affecting local securities market or the occurrence of any combination of circumstances (inclusive of pandemics and epidemics) which may, in the reasonable opinion of the Placing Agent, materially and adversely affect the business or the financial or trading position or prospects of the Group as a whole or adversely prejudices the success of the Placing of the Shares by potential investor(s) or otherwise makes it inexpedient or inadvisable for the Company or the Placing Agent to proceed with the Placing; or –6– LETTER FROM THE BOARD (iii) any change in market conditions or combination of circumstances in Hong Kong (including without limitation suspension or material restriction or trading in securities) occurs which affect the success of the Placing (such success being the placing of the Shares to potential investor(s)) or otherwise in the reasonable opinion of the Placing Agent makes it inexpedient or inadvisable or inappropriate for the Company or the Placing Agent to proceed with the Placing. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of the Placing Agreement mentioned above shall not affect any partial completion of the Placing Shares that may have taken place prior to such date of termination. The Directors are not aware of the occurrence of any of such events as at the Latest Practicable Date. Completion of the Placing Completion of the Placing, in any event, will take place within four business days after the fulfilment of the conditions as set out in the Placing Agreement but not later than 29 February 2008 or such later date to be agreed between the Company and the Placing Agent. The Company and the Placing Agent agreed that the Placing can be completed partially by a maximum of 4 tranches provided that the aggregate number of the Placing Shares for each partial completion shall not be less than 2,000,000,000 (save for the last tranche of the Placing where the number of the Placing Shares to be issued may be less than 2,000,000,000, as the case may be) and in integral multiples of 100,000,000 and that the listing approval in respect of the relevant Placing Shares has been obtained. The Company will make a maximum of 4 listing applications to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of and permission to deal in the relevant Placing Shares once the Placing Agent confirms to the Company that the number of Placing Shares to be subscribed by the Placees procured by the Placing Agent has reached 2,000,000,000 Shares and that partial completion can take place. Placing of the Placing Shares in tranches shall give flexibility to the Company in raising funds and the Company may receive funds in a more expedient manner as partial completion can take place once the Shares placed by the Placing Agent has reached 2,000,000,000 Shares. Accordingly, the Directors consider that placing of the Placing Shares in tranches is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. As the Placing may or may not proceed and is subject to Shareholders’ approval, Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares. –7– LETTER FROM THE BOARD OTHER INFORMATION ON THE PLACING Reasons for the Placing The Directors consider the timing of the fund raising by way of the Placing is appropriate based on the recent stock market recovery especially in light of imminent investors’ demand for the Shares, amidst the Company’s desire to gear down its highly-leveraged balance sheet. Notwithstanding the Placing resulting in dilution of existing shareholding interest of the Shareholders, the Directors consider that the Placing represents a great opportunity in which the Company can raise further capital to not only reduce its debt level but also strengthen the Group’s general working capital base. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has total debts of approximately HK$2,680 million. Use of proceeds The maximum gross proceeds from the Placing will be approximately HK$1,200 million. The maximum net proceeds of approximately HK$1,169 million from the Placing is intended to be used as to approximately HK$1,120 million for the settlement of the outstanding debts and the remaining balance of approximately HK$49 million for the general working capital of the Group. The net proceeds raised per Placing Share upon completion of the Placing will be approximately HK$0.1461 per Placing Share. FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS OF THE COMPANY Save as disclosed below, the Company has not conducted any fund raising activities in the past twelve months before the date of the Announcement and up to the Latest Practicable Date: Date of announcement 12 February 2007 Event Placing of existing Shares and top-up subscription of new Shares Net proceeds (approximately) HK$27,500,000 –8– Intended use of proceeds as announced General working capital Actual use of proceeds Has been fully applied as general working capital LETTER FROM THE BOARD EFFECTS ON SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY The effects on the shareholding structure of the Company as a result of the Placing are set out below: As at the Latest Practicable Date Fit Top (Note 1) Tin Yuen Sin, Carol (Note 2) Sub-total Immediately after the Placing Shares Approximate % Shares Approximate % 531,551,354 32.11% 531,551,354 5.51% 86,000,000 5.19% 86,000,000 0.89% 617,551,354 37.30% 617,551,354 6.40% 0 0.00% 8,000,000,000 82.85% 1,037,877,958 62.70% 1,037,877,958 10.75% 1,655,429,312 100.00% 9,655,429,312 100.00% Public: The Placees (Note 3) Other public Shareholders Total Notes: (2) 1) Fit Top Investments Limited is a company wholly-owned by Ms. Tin Yuen Sin, Carol, an executive Director. 2) Ms. Tin Yuen Sin, Carol is an executive Director. 3) Such Shares will be allotted and issued upon completion of the Placing assuming the Placing Shares are fully placed. PROPOSED INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL The authorised share capital of the Company is now HK$150,000,000 divided into 7,500,000,000 Shares. The Board wishes to propose an increase in the authorised share capital of the Company to HK$1,000,000,000 by the creation of an additional 42,500,000,000 Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the issued share capital of the Company is HK$33,108,586.24 comprising 1,655,429,312 Shares. The purpose of the proposed increase in the authorised share capital of the Company is to accommodate the proposed Placing and to provide flexibility and facilitate the Company in its future expansion by means of issuing new Shares and fund-raising activities as the Directors may consider appropriate from time to time. The proposed increase in authorised share capital of the Company is subject to, among other things, the Shareholders’ approval at the SGM and, if required, the approval from the Bermuda Monetary Authority. –9– LETTER FROM THE BOARD GENERAL The Group is principally engaged in retail related business in the PRC, which includes development planning advisory services for shopping malls, store management services, advertising and promotion advisory services and operation of retail related business.
