CH CASTSON 81 (00810) announced a proposed rights issue on the basis of 5 new shares for every 2 existing shares held as of the record date. The subscription price is set at HK$0.102 per rights share, aiming to raise up to approximately HK$51.93 million by issuing a maximum of 509 million rights shares (assuming full subscription and no change in issued shares before the record date). The rights issue is exclusively for eligible shareholders and will not be offered to excluded shareholders, if any.

The net proceeds from the rights issue, after deducting all related expenses, are estimated at around HK$49.24 million (assuming full subscription and unchanged issued shares). The net price per rights share, post-expenses, would be approximately HK$0.0967 (assuming full subscription and unchanged share count).

If fully subscribed with no change in issued shares, the company plans to allocate the net proceeds as follows: approximately 70% (or HK$34.47 million) for investments in listed and unlisted securities, including but not limited to sectors such as artificial intelligence, digital assets, and/or new energy; and about 30% (or HK$14.77 million) for the group's general working capital, covering employee costs, professional fees, administrative expenses, and other operational expenditures.
