COMPLETION OF ISSUE OF NEW SHARES UNDER GENERAL MANDATE

 

The Board is pleased to announce that the Conditions I set out in the Subscription Agreement I have been fulfilled and Completion I took place on 11 December 2023.

A total of 109,400,000 new Shares are allotted and issued under the Subscription I, Subscription II and the Subscription III (collectively, the “Subscriptions”), represent approximately 13.87% of the existing issued share capital of the Company immediately before the Completion I, the Completion II and the Completion III (collectively, the “Completions”) and approximately 12.18% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the 109,400,000 new Shares immediately upon the Completions.

 

Although the Subscriptions will not generate any proceeds for the Company in terms of cash but they will set off and eliminate the total liabilities in the sum of HK$44,322,000 owing by the Company to the Subscriber I, the Subscriber II and the Subscriber III and improve the overall liquidity of the Company.
