The Placing Price of HK$0.64 per Placing Share represents a discount of approximately 18.99% to the benchmarked price of the Shares, which is the higher of (i) the closing price of HK$0.79 as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Placing Agreement; and (ii) the average closing price of HK$0.72 in the last five trading days prior to the date of the Placing Agreement.
