LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Guarantees:                   The Bonds will be guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors whose
                              obligations are direct, unconditional and unsubordinated

Redemption Price:             100.00% of the principal amount

Initial Conversion Price:     The Initial Conversion Price of HK$3.19 per Share represents:

                              (a)   a premium of approximately 2.68% over the arithmetic average
                                    of the daily VWAP of each Share on each of the 20 consecutive
                                    trading days immediately prior to the date of the Subscription
                                    Agreement in the amount of HK$3.1066;

                              (b)   a discount of 5.06% to the closing price of the Shares of
                                    HK$3.36 as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 29 June 2020,
                                    which was the date of the Subscription Agreement; and

                              (c)   a discount of 3.27% to the average closing price of the Shares
                                    of HK$3.298 as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5)
                                    consecutive trading days prior to the date of the Subscription
                                    Agreement.

                              The Initial Conversion Price was determined based on (i) a small
                              premium over the arithmetic average of the daily VWAP of each
                              Share on each of the 20 consecutive trading days immediately
                              prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement; and (ii) an arm’s
                              length negotiation between the Company and the Purchaser in May
                              2020 during which the Initial Conversion Price was preliminarily
                              determined to be close to the average closing price of the Shares
                              which was in the range of HK$2.8 to HK$2.9. The Initial Conversion
                              Price of HK$3.19 is also the same as that of the Existing Bonds.
                              Given it took time for finalising the relevant legal documentation
                              and for the Purchaser to conduct due diligence on the Group, the
                              Company and the Purchaser agreed on the detailed terms and
                              executed the Subscription Agreement in late June 2020. However,
                              the Share price moved up by the time when the Subscription
                              Agreement was entered into. The Initial Conversion Price
                              therefore represented a discount to the closing price of the Shares
                              as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Subscription
                              Agreement, and/or against the average closing price of the Shares
                              quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five (5) consecutive trading

                                         — 14 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  days prior to the Subscription Agreement. Given that the Bond Issue
  would broaden the investor profile by introducing the Purchaser
  whose ultimate controller is a reputable global credit specialist as a
  strategic Shareholder and the Company has imminent funding needs
  to repay the November 2020 Notes by using the net proceeds from
  the Subscription, and it is intended that the investment in the Bonds
  (with a terms of five years) will be a long term investment and the
  Purchaser will be a long-term strategic investor of the Company,
  the Company considered that the arithmetic average of the daily
  VWAP of each Share on each of the 20 consecutive trading days
  immediately prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement, is
  more representative of the then current market value of the Shares
  than the closing price of the Shares of a short period of time before
  the date of the Subscription Agreement which is easily affected by
  fluctuation of the relevant time. Therefore, the Company is of the
  view that although the Initial Conversion Price represents a slight
  discount to the relevant closing prices, it is still fair and reasonable
  and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

  The Initial Conversion Price is subject to adjustment upon the
  occurrence of certain prescribed events namely, consolidation,
  subdivision, redesignation or reclassification of Shares,
  capitalization of profits or reserves, distributions, rights issues of
  Shares or options over Shares, rights issues of other securities,
  issues at less than current market price, other issues at less than
  current market price, modification of rights of conversion, other
  offers to the Shareholders under the circumstances which the
  Company or any of its subsidiaries issues, sells or distributes any
  securities in connection with which an offer pursuant to which the
  Shareholders generally are entitled to participate in arrangements
  whereby such securities may be acquired by them (provided that
  the Board considers that the adjustment as a result of such offers
  to the Shareholders will be fair and reasonable to the Company as
  such adjustment events are determined and within the control of the
  Company), adjustment upon the occurrence of a Change of Control
  (details of which are set out below), and other events determined by
  the Company that an adjustment should be made to the conversion
  price as a result of one or more events or circumstances not referred
  to in the above after consulting an independent investment bank
  that such adjustment would be fair and reasonable to take provided
  that the per Share value of such adjustment shall not exceed the
  per Share value of the dilution in the Shareholders’ interest in the
  Company’s equity caused by such event.

             — 15 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  Details of the adjustment events to the conversion price of the Bonds
  are set out as follows:

  (a)   Consolidation, Subdivision, Redesignation or Reclassification:
        If and whenever there shall be an alteration to the nominal
        value of the Shares as a result of consolidation, subdivision,
        redesignation or reclassification, the conversion price shall be
        adjusted by multiplying the conversion price in force immediately
        before such alteration by the following fraction:

                                       A
                                       B

        Where:

        A     is the nominal amount of one Share immediately after
              such alteration; and

        B     is the nominal amount of one Share immediately before
              such alteration.

        Such adjustment shall become effective on the date such
        consolidation, subdivision, redesignation or reclassification
        takes effect.

  (b)   Capitalisation of Profits or Reserves:

        (i)   If and whenever the Company shall issue any Shares
              credited as fully paid to the Shareholders by way of
              capitalisation of profits or reserves (including any share
              premium account) including Shares paid up out of
              distributable profits or reserves and/or share premium
              account (except any scrip dividend) and which would not
              have constituted a distribution, the conversion price shall
              be adjusted by multiplying the conversion price in force
              immediately before such issue by the following fraction:

                                           A
                                           B

              Where:

              A    is the aggregate nominal amount of the issued
                   Shares immediately before such issue; and

              B    is the aggregate nominal amount of the issued
                   Shares immediately after such issue.

              Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of
              issue of such Shares or if a record date is fixed therefor,
              immediately after such record date.

              — 16 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD

     (ii) In the case of an issue of Shares by way of a scrip
          dividend where the aggregate value of such Shares issued
          by way of scrip dividend as determined by reference to
          the Current Market Price per Share exceeds the amount
          of the relevant cash dividend or the relevant part thereof
          and which would not have constituted a distribution, the
          conversion price shall be adjusted by multiplying the
          conversion price in force immediately before the issue of
          such Shares by the following fraction:

                                    A+B
                                    A+C

          Where:

          A    is the aggregate nominal amount of the issued
               Shares immediately before such issue;

          B    is the aggregate nominal amount of Shares issued
               by way of such scrip dividend multiplied by a
               fraction of which (i) the numerator is the amount of
               the whole, or the relevant part, of the relevant cash
               dividend for which Shareholders have elected to
               receive as Shares issued by way of scrip dividend
               and (ii) the denominator is the aggregate value of
               such Shares issued by way of scrip dividend as
               determined by reference to the Current Market Price
               per Share; and

          C    is the aggregate nominal amount of Shares issued by
               way of such scrip dividend,

          or by making such other adjustment as an Independent
          investment bank shall certify in writing to the Trustee is
          fair and reasonable.

          Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of
          issue of such Shares issued by way of scrip dividend or
          if a record date is fixed therefor, immediately after such
          record date.

          — 17 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  (c)   Distributions: If and whenever the Company shall pay or
        make any distribution to the Shareholders (except to the
        extent that the conversion price falls to be adjusted under
        Condition (b) above), the conversion price shall be adjusted by
        multiplying the conversion price in force immediately before
        such distribution by the following fraction:

                                      A–B
                                       A

        Where:

        A    is the Current Market Price per Share on the date on
             which the distribution is first publicly announced; and

        B    is the Fair Market Value per Share.

        Such adjustment shall become effective on the date that such
        distribution is actually made or paid or if a record date is fixed
        therefor, immediately after such record date. For the purpose of
        the above, Fair Market Value shall be determined as at the date
        on which the distribution is first publicly announced or, if later,
        the first date on which the Fair Market Value of the relevant
        distribution is capable of being determined as provided herein.

        In making any calculation pursuant to this Condition (c),
        such adjustments (if any) shall be made as an Independent
        investment bank may consider appropriate to reflect (i) any
        consolidation or subdivision of the Shares, (ii) issues of Shares
        by way of capitalisation of profits or reserves, or any like or
        similar event, (iii) the modification of any rights to dividends
        of Shares or (iv) any change in the fiscal year of the Company.

             — 18 —
LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  (d)   Rights Issues of Shares or Options over Shares: If
        and whenever the Company shall issue Shares to all or
        substantially all Shareholders as a class by way of rights, or
        issue or grant to all or substantially all Shareholders as a class
        by way of rights, options, warrants or other rights to subscribe
        for, purchase or otherwise acquire any Shares, in each case
        at less than the Current Market Price per Share on the date
        of the first public announcement of the terms of the issue or
        grant, the conversion price shall be adjusted by multiplying
        the conversion price in force immediately before such issue or
        grant by the following fraction:

                                      A+B
                                      A+C

        Where:

        A    is the aggregate number of Shares in issue immediately
             before such announcement;

        B    is the number of Shares which the aggregate
             consideration receivable for the Shares issued by way of
             rights or for the options or warrants or other rights issued
             or granted by way of rights and for the total number of
             Shares comprised therein would subscribe for, purchase
             or otherwise acquire at such Current Market Price per
             Share; and

        C    is the aggregate number of Shares issued or, as the case
             may be, comprised in the issue or grant.

        Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of
        such Shares or issue or grant of such options, warrants or other
        rights (as the case may be) or where a record date is set, the
        first date on which the Shares are traded ex-rights, ex-options
        or ex-warrants, as the case may be.

  (e)   Rights Issues of Other Securities: If and whenever the
        Company shall issue any securities (other than Shares or
        options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase
        or otherwise acquire Shares) to all or substantially all
        Shareholders as a class by way of rights or grant to all or
        substantially all Shareholders as a class by way of rights,
        options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or
        otherwise acquire any securities (other than Shares or options,
        warrants or other rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise
        acquire Shares), the conversion price shall be adjusted by
        multiplying the conversion price in force immediately before
        such issue or grant by the following fraction:

                                      A–B
                                       A

        Where:

        A    is the Current Market Price per Share on the date on
             which such issue or grant is publicly announced; and

        B    is the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of such
             announcement of the portion of the rights attributable to
             one Share.

        Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of
        the securities or the grant of such rights, options or warrants
        (as the case may be) or where a record date is set, the first date
        on which the Shares are traded ex-rights, ex-options or ex-
        warrants, as the case may be. For the purpose of the above, Fair
        Market Value shall be determined as at the date on which the
        terms of such issue or grant are publicly announced or, if later,
        the first date on which the Fair Market Value of the aggregate
        rights attributable to the Shares in relation to such issue or
        grant is capable of being determined as provided herein.

  (f)   Issues at less than Current Market Price: If and whenever
        the Company shall issue (otherwise than as mentioned in
        Condition (d) above) any Shares (other than Shares issued on
        the exercise of Conversion Rights or on the exercise of any
        other rights of conversion into, or exchange or subscription for,
        Shares) or shall issue or grant (otherwise than as mentioned in
        Condition (d) above) any options, warrants or other rights to
        subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire Shares, in each
        case at a price per Share which is less than the Current Market
        Price on the date of the first public announcement of the
        terms of such issue, the conversion price shall be adjusted by
        multiplying the conversion price in force immediately before
        such issue by the following fraction:

                                     A+B

        A    is the aggregate number of Shares in issue immediately
             before the issue of such additional Shares or the grant of
             such options, warrants or other rights to subscribe for,
             purchase or otherwise acquire any Shares;

        B    is the number of Shares which the aggregate
             consideration receivable for the issue of the maximum
             number of Shares to be issued or the exercise of such
             options, warrants or other rights would purchase at such
             Current Market Price per Share; and

        C    is the aggregate number of Shares in issue immediately
             after the issue of such additional Shares.

        References to additional Shares in the above formula shall, in
        the case of an issue by the Company of options, warrants or
        other rights to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire
        Shares, mean such Shares to be issued assuming that such
        options, warrants or other rights are exercised in full at the
        initial exercise price on the date of issue of such options,
        warrants or other rights.

        Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue of
        such additional Shares or, as the case may be, the issue of such
        options, warrants or other rights.

        is less than the Current Market Price on the date of the first
        public announcement of the terms of issue of such securities,
        the conversion price shall be adjusted by multiplying the
        conversion price in force immediately before such issue by the
        following fraction:

                                      A+B

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  (h)   Modification of Rights of Conversion etc.: If and whenever
        there shall be any modification of the rights of conversion,
        exchange or subscription attaching to any such securities as
        are mentioned in Condition (g) (other than in accordance with
        the terms of such securities) so that the consideration per Share
        (for the number of Shares available on conversion, exchange
        or subscription following the modification) is reduced below
        the Current Market Price on the date of announcement of
        the proposals for such modification, the conversion price
        shall be adjusted by multiplying the conversion price in
        force immediately before such modification by the following
        fraction:

                                      A+B

             to be issued on conversion or exchange or on exercise
             of the right of subscription attached to the securities so
             modified would purchase at such Current Market Price
             per Share or, if lower, the existing conversion, exchange
             or subscription price of such securities; and

        C    is the maximum number of Shares to be issued on
             conversion or exchange of such securities or on the
             exercise of such rights of subscription attached thereto at
             the modified conversion, exchange or subscription price
             or rate but giving credit in such manner as an Independent
             investment bank considers appropriate (if at all) for
             any previous adjustment under this Condition (h) or
             Condition (g).

        Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of modification
        of the rights of conversion, exchange or subscription attaching to

  (i)   Other Offers to Shareholders: If and whenever the Company
        or any of its Subsidiaries or (at the direction or request of or
        pursuant to any arrangements with the Company or any of
        its subsidiaries) any other company, person or entity issues,
        sells or distributes any securities in connection with an offer
        pursuant to which the Shareholders generally are entitled to
        participate in arrangements whereby such securities may be
        acquired by them (except where the conversion price falls to
        be adjusted under Condition (d), Condition (e), Condition (f)
        or Condition (g)), the conversion price shall be adjusted by
        multiplying the conversion price in force immediately before
        such issue, sale or distribution by the following fraction:

                                      A–B
                                       A

        Where:

        A    is the Current Market Price per Share on the date
             on which such issue, sale or distribution is publicly
             announced; and

        B    is the Fair Market Value of the portion of the rights
             attributable to one Share.

        Such adjustment shall become effective on the date of issue,
        sale or distribution of the securities. For the purpose of the
        above, Fair Market Value shall be determined as at the date on
        which the terms of such issue, sale or distribution of securities
        are first publicly announced or, if later, the first date on which
        the Fair Market Value of the portion of the aggregate rights
        attributable to the Shares is capable of being determined as
        provided herein. The Board considers that the adjustment
        as a result of such offers to the Shareholders is fair and
        reasonable to the Company because such adjustment events are
        determined and within the control of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  (j)   Adjustment upon Change of Control: If a Change of Control
        shall occur, the Company shall give notice of that fact to
        the Trustee and the Bondholders (the “Change of Control
        Notice”) within 7 days of the occurrence of such Change of
        Control. Following the giving of a Change of Control Notice,
        upon any exercise of conversion rights such that the relevant
        conversion date falls within 30 days following a Change of
        Control, or, if later, 30 days following the date on which
        the Change of Control Notice is given to the Trustee and
        the Bondholders, the conversion price shall be adjusted in
        accordance with the following formula:

                                        OCP
                         NCP =                 c
                                    1+(CP x    t )

        Where:

        “NCP” means the new conversion price after such adjustment
        (which, in any event, shall not be below HK$2.90 but for any
        other adjustments that may be made under the Conditions,
        except in the event of a Conversion Price Reset, in which case,
        the new conversion price after such adjustment shall not be
        below 85% of the Initial Conversion Price). The “NCP” of
        HK$2.90 was approximate to the average prevailing market
        price that the Shares were traded in May 2020 during which
        the Purchaser and the Company negotiated and preliminarily
        agreed on the initial terms of the Bond Issue in May 2020.

        “OCP” means the conversion price before such adjustment. For
        the avoidance of doubt, OCP shall be the conversion price in
        effect on the relevant conversion date.

        “CP” means the conversion premium of 2.68% expressed as a
        fraction.

        “c” means the number of days from and including the date the
        Change of Control occurs to but excluding the Maturity Date.

        “t” means the number of days from and including the Closing
        Date to but excluding the Maturity Date.

        The Bonds are freely transferrable subject to the Conditions
        and the rules of the relevant clearing systems where applicable.
