STRATEGIC PLACING OF NEW SHARES UNDER GENERAL MANDATE

The Directors are pleased to announce that, on 26 June 2017, the Company and the Subscriber entered into the Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue and the Subscriber has agreed to subscribe for 30,000,000 Subscription Shares at a Subscription Price of HK$1.00 per Subscription Share.

The 30,000,000 Subscription Shares to be allotted and issued to the Subscriber represent

(i) approximately 6.90% of the existing issued share capital of the Company of 434,804,000 Shares as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) approximately 6.45% of the Company's issued share capital of 464,804,000 Shares as enlarged by the issue and allotment of the Subscription Shares (assuming that there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the date of the Subscription Agreement and Completion save for the issue of such Subscription Shares).

The Subscription Price of HK$1.00 was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber with reference to the recent trading prices of the Shares. The Subscription Price represents (i) a discount of approximately 17.4% of the closing price of HK$1.21 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 26 June 2017, being the date of the Subscription Agreement; and (ii) a discount of approximately 19.9% of the average closing price of HK$1.248 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement.

The gross proceeds in cash from the Subscription are approximately HK$30,000,000.00. The net proceeds from the Subscription, after deduction of related expenses, are estimated to be approximately HK$29,500,000.00. The net proceeds from the Subscription will be approximately HK$0.983 per Subscription Share. The net proceeds from the Subscription are intended to be used for financing any potential investment opportunities of the Group that may arise from time to time.

The Subscription Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the General Mandate granted to the Directors by a resolution of the Shareholders passed at the AGM. As the Subscription Shares will be issued under the General Mandate, the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares is not subject to Shareholders' approval.

Shareholders and potential investors should note that the Completion is subject to the fulfilment of the conditions under the Subscription Agreement and may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares of the Company.

The Directors are pleased to announce that, on 26 June 2017, the Company and the Subscriber entered into the Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to issue and the Subscriber has agreed to subscribe for 30,000,000 Subscription Shares at a Subscription Price of HK$1.00 per Subscription Share.
