Sunshine’s Capital Raising AND OTHER EQUITY Activities during 1Q20

On January 3, 2020, the Board proposed to implement the Share Consolidation on the basis that every fifty (50) Existing Shares will be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share. The total number of Consolidated Shares in the issued share capital of the Company immediately following the Share Consolidation was rounded down to a whole number by cancelling any fractional Shares of the Company arising from the Share Consolidation. The Share Consolidation was conditional upon, among other things, the approval of the Shareholders at the SGM. The Board proposed to change the board lot size for trading on the Stock Exchange from 500 Existing Shares to 1,000 Consolidated Shares conditional upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

On February 24, 2020, a Special General Meeting was held and approved the Share Consolidation and the Change in Board Lot Size which became effective on February 26, 2020.

On February 27, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement for a total of 1,443,000 consolidated Class “A” common shares at a price of HKD $1.31 per share (post-consolidation) for gross proceeds of HKD $1,896,134.68. On March 5, 2020, the Company completed the closing of this settlement agreement. This settlement agreement was entered into for settlement of trade payables with an independent third party.

On March 31, 2020, the Board has decided to temporarily suspend production for 90 days due to volatility in the international crude oil market, severe decline in crude oil prices, and having considered the fact that the Company’s West Ells production equipment and road need repair, coupled with the outbreak of COVID-19 in Canada.

The Company expects that the temporary suspension will not have a material adverse impact on its operations. Management of the Company will continue to closely monitor developments in the international crude oil market and intends to take appropriate actions accordingly in response to the actual situation, and act in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
