Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds, the Convertible Bonds may
not be assigned or transferred, in whole or in part, to any connected person of the Company
(as defined under the Listing Rules) without prior written consent of the Company.
The Board considered that the Transfer did not constitute an alteration in the terms of
convertible debt securities after issue and the Transfer would not affect the interests of the
Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Furthermore, as each of Capital Winner, New
Capital and Capital Force would exercise their conversion rights and convert the Convertible
Bonds into Conversion Shares, the Board considered that such conversions would reduce the
liabilities and gearing ratio of the Company and in turn improve the financial position of the
Company. The Company therefore has given its written consent in respect of the Transfer.
On 17 May 2023, immediately after the Transfer, the Company received conversion notices
from each of Capital Winner, New Capital and Capital Force in respect of the exercise of the
conversion rights attached to the Convertible Bonds in the principal amounts of
HK$46,500,000, HK$45,000,000 and HK$25,500,000, respectively, at the initial Conversion
Price of HK$0.16 per Conversion Share (the “Conversion”).
Pursuant to the Conversion, the Company shall, within 14 days from the date of the conversion
notices, allot and issue 290,625,000 Conversion Shares, 281,250,000 Conversion Shares and
159,375,000 Conversion Shares to each of Capital Winner, New Capital and Capital Force,
respectively (the “Issue of Conversion Shares”), representing approximately18.11%,
approximately 17.53% and approximately 9.93% of the total issued Shares of the Company
as enlarged by the allotment and issue of such Conversion Shares. The Conversion Shares will
rank pari passu in all respects among themselves and with all other existing Shares in issue.
After completion of the Conversion, the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible
Bonds will be HK$103,000,000 which is held by the Subscriber.
