Holders of fully-paid Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid after the date of issue and allotment of the fully-paid Rights Shares. Dealings in nil-paid and fully-paid Rights Shares will be subject to the payment of stamp duty in Hong Kong. Rights of Non-Qualifying Shareholders The Prospectus Documents will not be registered or filed under the applicable securities or equivalent legislation of any jurisdictions other than Hong Kong. If on the date of book close, there are Shareholders whose registered addresses recorded in the register of members of the Company are in jurisdictions outside Hong Kong, the Company will, in compliance with Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules, make enquiries regarding the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place and the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange and may only exclude such overseas Shareholders from the offer of the Rights Shares on the basis that, having made such enquiries, it would be necessary or expedient to do so. The Company will not offer the Rights Shares to the Non-Qualifying Shareholders, that is, Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company as at the close of business on the Record Date but whose registered addresses as shown on the register of members of the Company are outside Hong Kong, and to whom the Directors, based on the legal advice(s) given by legal counsel(s) of the relevant jurisdiction(s) regarding the legal restrictions under the laws of the relevant place and the requirements of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange, consider it necessary or expedient not to offer any Rights Shares. Accordingly, no provisional allotment of Rights Shares will be made to Non-Qualifying Shareholders. The Company will send copies of the Prospectus to Non-Qualifying Shareholders for their information only. The Company will not send provisional allotment letters or forms for application for excess Rights Shares to Non-Qualifying Shareholders. The Company will make arrangements for the Rights Shares, which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to Non-Qualifying Shareholders, to be sold in the market in their nil-paid form as soon as practicable after dealing in the nil-paid Rights Shares commences, if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. The proceeds of each sale, less expenses, of HK$100 or more will be paid to Non-Qualifying Shareholders in Hong Kong dollars pro rata to their respective shareholding as soon as practicable. The Company will retain individual amounts of less than HK$100. Any such unsold Rights Shares will be available for excess application.
