Part 3 (Risk Disclosure)
  • Any investment carries risks and investors may lose all or part of their investment. Since the market investment sentiment may change significantly during the IPO period, the new shares may fall below the offer price on the first day of trading, and you may incur losses. Before deciding to invest, you should understand the nature of the company's business, thoroughly read its prospectus, company financial reports, and even seek professional advice before making an investment decision."
  • In some cases, IPO/Placing may be oversubscribed. In view of this, The Company may go through an allocation process to determine whether an investor will receive any shares and, if so, in what quantity. .An investor may be tempted to subscribe for more shares than he intends to, if he thinks he will not receive the full amount in case of an over-subscription. However, if the IPO is not oversubscribed, the investor will receive all the quantity applied and will incur the full cost.
  • "Trading through an electronic trading system, it may be different from trading through other electronic trading systems. If you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, you will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software. The result of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to instructions or is not executed at all."
