RNS Number : 6683F
RCG Holdings Limited
28 April 2014
The following replaces the 'Proposed Placing' announcement released today at 1:15pm under RNS No 6654F (the "Previous Announcement").
As previously released the Previous Announcement erroneously stated that "if the conditions precedent to the Proposed Placing are not fulfilled before 25 August 2014 or such other date as may be agreed between the Placing Agent and the Company, then the obligations of the parties under the Placing Agreement will lapse."
The Previous Announcement should have stated that "if the conditions precedent to the Proposed Placing are not fulfilled before 28 August 2014 or such other date as may be agreed between the Placing Agent and the Company, then the obligations of the parties under the Placing Agreement will lapse."
The full amended text is shown below.

RCG Holdings Limited
("RCG" or the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group")
Proposed Placing
On 28 April 2014 (after trading hours), the Company entered into the Placing Agreement with the Placing Agent, pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to place, through the Placing Agent, up to a maximum of 167,081,299 Placing Shares, on a best effort basis to not fewer than six independent Placees at a price of HK$0.27 (GBP0.0207**) per Placing Share. The Placing Price was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent taking into account (i) the market sentiment; (ii) the financial results and future prospects of the Company; and (iii) the performance of the Shares and its outlook to the potential investors. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that as a result of the Placing, the Company can improve liquidity in Share trading, broaden its Shareholders' base and strengthen the Company's financial position. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Placing are normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable, as far as the Company and the Shareholders are concerned, and the Placing is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Placing Shares represent approximately 20.00% of the existing issued share capital of the Company and approximately 16.67% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of 167,081,299 Placing Shares. The Placing is conditional under the Listing Committee of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares. The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the General Mandate and the Placing is not subject to Shareholders' approval.
Application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the grant of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares. Application will also be made for any Placing Shares issued to be admitted to trading on AIM. The gross proceeds and the net proceeds from the Placing will be approximately HK$45,111,950.73 (GBP3,459,691.14**) and approximately HK$43,992,506.03 (GBP3,373,839.55**) respectively which are intended to be used to finance the Company's projects. The Company will comply with the applicable requirements of the Hong Kong Listing Rules in relation to any future investments.
Shareholders and potential investors should note that the Placing is subject to the conditions under the Placing Agreement being fulfilled. As the Placing may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

Parties: The Company and the Placing Agent

The Placing Agent will receive a placing commission of 2.50% on the gross proceeds raised from the Placing. The placing commission was arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent.
In consideration of the prevailing market rate of the placing commission, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the placing commission of 2.50% is fair and reasonable. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the Placing Agent and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.
Placees
Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the Placing Agent undertakes to place the Placing Shares to not less than six independent Placees who to the best knowledge and belief of the Placing Agent and the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, themselves and their ultimate beneficial owners (i) are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons; and (ii) are not acting in concert with any connected persons of the Company.
Placing Price
The Placing Price of HK$0.27 (GBP0.0207**) per Share represents:
(i) a discount of approximately 11.48% to the closing price of HK$0.3050 per Share as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
(ii) a discount of approximately 17.93% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.3290 per Share as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the last five trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day; and
(iii) a discount of approximately 18.06% over the average closing price of HK$0.3295 per Share as quoted on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the last ten trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day.
The net price for each Placing Share will be approximately HK$0.2633 (GBP0.0202**).
The Placing Price was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent taking into account (i) the market sentiment; (ii) the financial results and future prospects of the Company; and (iii) the performance of the Shares and its outlook to the potential investors. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believe the Placing can improve liquidity in the Shares, broaden its Shareholders' base and strengthen the Company's financial position. The Directors (including the independent nonexecutive Directors) consider that the terms of the Placing are normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and the Placing is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Number of Placing Shares
Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, a maximum of 167,081,299 Placing Shares may be placed by the Placing Agent to the Placees, representing (i) approximately 20.00% of the existing issued share capital of the Company; and (ii) approximately 16.67% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the issue of 167,081,299 Placing Shares, on a best effort basis.
The Placing Shares will be allotted and issued under the General Mandate and the Placing is not subject to Shareholders' approval. The Placing Shares will, when fully paid, be allotted and issued in accordance with the Memorandum and Bye-laws and with the relevant rules and regulations applicable to the Company in Hong Kong and Bermuda and will, upon allotment and issue, be free from all liens, charges, encumbrances or third party rights of whatsoever nature and together with all rights attaching thereto at Completion.

APPLICATION FOR LISTING
Application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Placing Shares. Application will also be made for any Placing Shares issued to be admitted to trading on AIM.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE PLACING AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Following the Placing and on the basis that all Placing Shares are successfully placed, the Company will receive net proceeds of approximately HK$43,992,506.03 (GBP3,373,839.55**).
The Board believes that, the proceeds of the Placing will allow the Company to meet its financial obligations over the recently acquired business and any residual funding, will also allow the Company to pursue other new business opportunities. Having mentioned that, should the new business opportunities fail to arise within the reasonable time, the residual funding will be allocated for general working capital.
The above will give the Company additional capacity and capability to capture future expansion and acquisition growth opportunities as and when they arise. Any additional funds, available if any, will be earmarked for general working capital. It also believes that the strategy of pursuing new business opportunities will diversify the Company's businesses in the future and thereby improve shareholder value. In addition, the Placing will broaden the Company's Shareholder base.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the Placing Agreement was entered into upon normal commercial terms following arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Placing Agent and that the terms of the Placing Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
