MONTHLY PROLONGED SUSPENSION STATUS REPORT (MAIN BOARD)

(as at 31 July 2015)

This report summarizes the status of companies which have been suspended for three months or more.

Suspension and resumption criteria under the Rules

The Exchange is the front line regulator of listed companies and has an obligation to maintain a fair, orderly and efficient

market for the trading of securities. It may, for the maintenance of an orderly market or the protection of investors, suspend

trading in any securities. Where there are concerns about investor protection, the Exchange may require companies to

address these specific concerns before granting resumption of trading1.

In the interests of promoting a continuous market for the trading of listed securities, the period of suspension should be kept

as short as possible. Resumption of trading normally takes place after the publication of information, and where applicable,

fulfillments of conditions imposed by the Exchange2.

For easy reference, this report categorizes the companies as below based on their outstanding issues and the Listing Rules

requirements.

a) Companies that are in severe financial difficulties and/or have ceased to maintain sufficient operations and are in

delisting procedure (PN 17 companies);

b) Companies which have identified irregularities and/or are under regulatory investigation;

c) Companies which have failed to publish financial results and/or identified material internal control weaknesses; and

d) Others, including companies that have yet to publish material information, or have public float issues.

Disclosure of information by companies

A suspended company is still obliged to disclose i) inside information required under the Securities and Futures Ordinance,

and ii) all information required to be disclosed by listed companies under the Listing Rules (e.g. financial results, notifiable

and connected transactions). In addition, it must make periodic announcements of its developments.

The table below presents a status summary of the long-suspended companies based on their published announcements,

including conditions for resumption, major developments and outstanding issues. The Exchange may modify or impose

further resumption conditions subject to developments.

For details please refer to the companies’ announcements available on the HKEx news website at www.hkexnews.hk.

A. PN 17 companies:

These companies are in severe financial difficulties and/or have either ceased to operate their businesses or are carrying

on minimal operations. Under the Listing Rules, they enter into a three-stage delisting procedure3 of a minimum of six

months each, during which they may submit proposals for the resumption of trading for the Exchange’s approval. The

companies may submit resumption proposals at any time during the delisting stages. Upon the expiry of each stage and

in the absence of a viable proposal, the Exchange will place the company into the next delisting stage or if it is in the

final stage, cancel its listing. The companies may seek a review of the Exchange’s decision to place them into the next

delisting stage or to delist them4.

B. Companies with identified irregularities and/or regulatory investigations:

These companies have identified irregularities. Some of these companies are also under investigations by regulatory or

law enforcement bodies. If the Exchange identifies potential violations of laws and regulations by the company or its

management, it will refer the matters to the relevant regulatory authorities5.

Generally, the company may apply for resumption once the matter giving rise to the suspension is addressed and

announced to the market. The resumption proposal generally needs to address the following:

(a) Where accounting irregularities or possible fraudulent activities are identified, the board would generally form

an independent committee to review the issues, conduct an investigation and, where possible, take remedial

actions. A number of these companies have engaged forensic accountants to investigate the issues and address

regulatory concerns arising from them. In most cases these companies would be investigated by regulatory or

law enforcement bodies.

(b) Where the media reports investigations by regulatory authorities, the company would need to assess the

implications to its operations and whether its public disclosure remains materially accurate. For example, if a

company relied on false documents in the course of a material acquisition, they should appoint an independent

committee to review the matter and address any issue about overstatement of assets.

(c) Where issues giving rise to suspension involve management and directors’ integrity, the Exchange must be

satisfied that the directors meet the required levels of skill, care and diligence; can act honestly and in good

faith in the interest of the company as a whole; and act for proper purpose6.

The Listing Rules do not specify a delisting procedure for these companies. If the management is unwilling to take

action to resolve issues, or where the possible fraudulent activities are the acts of management/controlling shareholder,

the Exchange may continue suspension or delist the company. Under the Rules, the Exchange may delist a company if

it is no longer suitable for listing7 or if suspension continues for a prolonged period without the company taking

adequate action to obtain restoration of listing8. In making these determinations, the Exchange will have regard to the

interests of shareholders and the investing public.

5 For example, if a company’s business or affairs may have been conducted in a manner which is unfairly prejudicial to shareholders, the Exchange will

refer the case to the Securities and Futures Commission. Under the Securities and Futures Ordinance, the Commission may take certain legal actions to protect shareholders.
