GET NICE HOLDINGS LIMITED (Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability) ANNOUNCEMENT ADJUSTMENT OF RELATIVE ALLOCATION OF USE OF THE SHARE OFFER PROCEEDS The board of Directors of the Company proposes that the Reallocation of the unused portion of proceeds from the Share Offer will be adjusted, on the basis that (i) increase the allocation for reducing bank borrowings and (ii) cancel the allocations for recruiting additional experienced staff including account executives for the brokerage business and consultants for the asset management business; for establishing and developing the corporate finance business; for upgrading the computer system and for the areas of promotion and advertising. In this connection, the Company resolved to put forward the Reallocation for approval by the Independent Shareholders. The Reallocation will be subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. Honeylink Agents Limited, a company beneficially owned by Mr. Hung Hon Man, the Chairman of the Company of the Company; Mr. Shum Kin Wai, Frankie and Chambray Resources Limited, a company beneficially owned by Mr. Cham Wai Ho, Anthony, both being the executive Directors of the Company, which together are interested in 75% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement, will abstain from voting in respect of their shareholding interests in the Company in the resolution for the approval of the Reallocation at the EGM. A circular, containing the details of the Reallocation, the advice of the independent financial adviser, the recommendation of the independent non-executive Directors and a notice convening the EGM of the Company will be dispatched to the Shareholders as soon as practicable. Shareholders are referred to the prospectus of the Company dated 24th May, 2002 (the "Prospectus") in relation to the placing and new issue of the Company's Shares ("Share Offer"). Capitalised terms herein have the same meaning as the Prospectus. The board of Directors (the "Board") announces that the relative allocation of the unused portion of proceeds from the Share Offer will be adjusted (the "Reallocation"). The Company raised net proceeds of approximately HK$63.8 million (after deduction of related expenses) from the Share Offer in June 2002 and has already applied HK$41.5 million of the proceeds to different areas of businesses in accordance with the plans set out in the Prospectus. The remaining unused portion of approximately HK$22.3 million is placed in short term deposits with certain banks in Hong Kong. During the third quarter of year 2002, the stock market condition was relatively unstable and was adversely affected by the poor economy. The Board considers it highly risky to implement expansion plans during the investment climate seems to be dull. Hence, certain business plans have not been implemented since the Company listed its Shares in June 2002.
