As all the conditions with respect to the Rights Issue as set out in the Prospectus have been fulfilled, the Rights Issue became unconditional at 4:00 p.m. on Tuesday, 13 May 2025.
The gross proceeds raised from the Rights Issue (including the Placing) before expenses were approximately HK$119.7 million and the net proceeds from the Rights Issue after deducting the expenses and after expenses were approximately HK$115.7 million.
As disclosed in the Prospectus, the Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Rights Issue of approximately HK$115.7 million as follows: as to (i) approximately HK$57.9 million or 50.0% of the maximum net proceeds for the implementation of the Phase 2 Project in Laixi City, the PRC; (ii) approximately HK$34.7 million or 30.0% of the maximum net proceeds for repayment of loans and interests of the Group; and (iii) approximately HK$23.1 million or 20.0% of the maximum net proceeds as general working capital of the Group including salary and rental payments for the coming nine to twelve months.
