09:54 WING ON TRAVEL<01189>-Announcement&Resumption of Trading (5) lots of the Consolidated Shares, a securities house will be appointed by Wing On Travel to provide a matching service to those shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of Consolidated Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holdings of odd lots of Consolidated Shares. Details of the odd lots arrangement will be stated in the circular to be issued by Wing On Travel. CHANGE OF BOARD LOT SIZE Upon the Share Consolidation becoming unconditional and effective, the board lot of the Shares will be changed from 10,000 Shares to 1,000 Consolidated Shares. Based on the latest closing price of HK$0.024 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Dealing Date, the value of a board lot of 10,000 Shares is approximately HK$240. After the completion of the Share Consolidation, based on the latest closing price of HK$0.024 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Dealing Date, the theoretical price of a Consolidated Share is approximately HK$2.4 and the theoretical market value of a board lot of 1,000 Consolidated Shares is approximately HK$2,400. Any fraction of Consolidated Shares that arises from the Share Consolidation will be aggregated and sold (if a premium, net of expenses, can be obtained) for the benefit of Wing On Travel. The Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other. REASON FOR CHANGE OF BOARD LOT SIZE The proposed change in board lot size could facilitate trading after the Share Consolidation, as the transaction costs per board lot of Consolidated Shares and the incidence of odd lots after the Share Consolidation could both be reduced.
