The Issuer and the Guarantor jointly announce that the Conversion Price of the Bonds will be adjusted from HK$1.93 per Share to HK$1.63 per Share with effect from 10 August 2022. Such adjustment is the result of the interim basic dividend of HK35 cents per Share and an additional special dividend of HK17 cents per Share, together amount to a total interim dividend of HK52 cents per Share, for the six months ended 30 June 2022 (the "2022 Interim Dividend") payable on 24 August 2022 by the Guarantor with an ex-dividend date of 10 August 2022.

The above adjustment to the Conversion Price shall become effective on the first date on which the Shares are traded ex-dividend in relation to the 2022 Interim Dividend. The above adjustment has been computed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Bonds. Apart from the above adjustment, all other terms of the Bonds remain unchanged.

In the case of conversion of the Bonds into Shares, the Guarantor will utilise the specific mandate obtained from Shareholders at the special general meeting of the Guarantor held on 2 December 2019 to satisfy the issue of the Conversion Shares.

This announcement also serves as a notification to the Bondholders in respect of the adjustment to the Conversion Price as per the terms and conditions of the Bonds.
