(g) 根據第 32 條設立的擔保可在無需貸款人首先訴諸任何其他擔保或權 利或針對任何其他人採取的任何步驟或程式的情形下強制執行;並可在訴諸任何一種或多種其他方式獲得對本條款所擔保的款項、義務和債務的付款或清償後,就任何到期款項的餘額強制執行。

(i) 借款人將採取為了行使貸款人在本條款下享有的權利而被不時要求的一切行為,且將允許任何上述行為被採取,並允許在貸款人為此目的 所需時使用借款人的名義。

Terms and Conditions for Term Loan Facility for financing subscription of new issue Shares or other exchange-traded instruments (IPO Financing)
Important notice:
This sets out the terms and conditions upon which Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited would provide loan facility to you. You shall read and understand the terms and conditions carefully before accepting the facility and if considered necessary,
seek independent legal advice.
We, Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited (the “Lender”), may from time to time and at any time at our absolute and unfettered discretion grant you (the “Borrower”), a short term loan facility up to such extent and for such period as we deem fit to finance your subscription of new issue shares or other exchange-traded instruments. This sets out the terms and conditions (the "Terms and Conditions") that are applicable to (i) the application for subscription for Shares (as defined below) made by you (and which is accepted by us) (the "Application") and (ii) each specific short term loan facility granted by us to you in connection with the Application.
1. Facility: | The term loan facility to be granted to the Borrower pursuant to an Application that has been approved by the Lender shall be of such amount in Hong Kong Dollars as the Lender may from time to time and at any time at its absolute and unfettered discretion approve and as set out in the Application (the “Facility”). |
2. Purpose: | To finance up to a maximum of 90% (or such lower percentage as the Lender shall at its absolute discretion deem fit at any time and from time to time) of the amount payable by the Borrower to the Lender in relation to the Application (the "Loan Commitment Amount") to be made on behalf of the Borrower in the name of the Lender or its nominee for subscription of a particular new issue share/warrant/bond/unit trust/investment fund or other exchange-traded instrument (the “Shares”). The Borrower declares that all the loan proceeds of the Facility as approved by the Lender under an Application shall be applied solely and exclusively for the purpose of financing the subscription for Shares as set out in that Application (and for no other purpose), and the Lender shall be entitled to all such loan proceeds unless and until the same (or any part thereof) has been utilised for such purpose. |
3. Interest: | The rate of interest applicable to the Drawing (as defined below) under the Facility shall be set out in the Application as approved by the Lender. The Lender shall be entitled to vary the basis of calculation of the interest rate upon 30 days' written notice to the Borrower. All interest shall accrue on the daily outstanding principal balance of the Drawing at the applicable rate to be set out in the Application as approved by the Lender from day to day on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 365-day |
year and be payable in arrears on the Repayment Date or a later date which the Lender shall determine at its absolute discretion in the event of any postponement or withdrawal of the listing of the Shares. A certificate by the Lender as to the rate of interest and the amount of principal, interest or other sums (including all applicable fees and expenses) payable by the Borrower from time to time shall, save for manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. Expressions of such rate (and the interest so calculated according thereto) or amount in documents other than the Application and these Terms and Conditions are not binding on the Lender and are solely for reference only. | |
4. Availability of Facility: | Subject to: (a) the Borrower’s compliance with and/or satisfaction of all conditions precedent set out in Clause 8 below as well as those set out in the Application; and (b) the due receipt, by the Lender from the Borrower in immediately available funds, of the balance (if any) of the amount required for the purpose of the Application which is not being financed by the particular Facility, on or before 6:00 p.m. on the Banking Day (as defined below) immediately before the last day of the public offer subscription period for the relevant Shares (being the last day on which an application can be lodged for the subscription of the relevant Shares) as determined by the Lender in accordance with the terms of the prospectus or offering document (the "Prospectus") in respect of the subscription of the relevant Shares (the "Deadline"), the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a drawdown notice (the "Drawdown Notice") to the Lender on the date of the Deadline requesting a lump sum drawing (the "Drawing") to be made under the Facility, and such Drawing shall: (i) be in an amount sufficient to make all payments as contemplated under the Application (but which shall not, in any case, exceed, the Loan Commitment Amount), and the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorises the Lender at any time and from time to time to determine and amend the amount of the Drawing so requested, on the understanding that all of the Deposit Amount (as defined below) shall firstly be applied to make payment under the Application and any remaining amount to be paid for the subscription of the relevant Shares shall be financed to the extent of the Loan Commitment Amount; and (ii) be drawn down on the date (as determined by the Lender in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus) on which payment for the subscription of the relevant Shares successfully allocated to the Borrower is due. |
The Lender is hereby irrevocably authorised and directed by the Borrower to apply the whole of the proceeds of the Drawing in such manner as the Lender may deem necessary for the purpose of making payment under the Application (including making payment to such nominee of the Lender as contemplated in the Application (the “Nominee”)). An Application and Drawdown Notice will be irrevocable once given (or deemed to be given), and may not be withdrawn, cancelled or amended except with the prior written consent of the Lender (which may be withheld by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion). The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, having given an Application and Drawdown Notice to the Lender, the Borrower is bound to make the Drawing requested accordingly, and the Lender will, in reliance on the Borrower's commitment to make the Drawing contemplated under the Application and the Drawdown Notice, give certain confirmations to the Nominee and other third parties regarding the Borrower’s financial ability to pay for the subscription of the relevant Shares set out in the Application. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is the Borrower’s own responsibility to ensure (and the Lender shall not in any event be liable in any respect for ensuring) that the aggregate of the Deposit Amount and the available Facility will be sufficient to pay for the subscription of all of the relevant Shares set out in the Application, and that if such amounts are insufficient, the subscription for the relevant Shares may be unsuccessful (whether wholly or partially). Under these Terms and Conditions, "Banking Day" means a day on which commercial banks in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China ("Hong Kong") are open for business, including the day with severe weather conditions on which Hong Kong’s securities and derivatives markets remain open but always excluding Saturdays and Sundays. | |
5. Xxxxxx’x discretion: | Notwithstanding any other provision in these Terms and Conditions or the Application Documents (as defined below), where the Lender has any right to make any determination or grant any consent or to exercise discretion in relation to any matter contemplated under these Terms and Conditions and/or the Application Documents, such right or discretion may be exercised by the Lender in such manner as the Lender may decide in its sole and absolute discretion. |
6. Repayment: | The principal amount of the Drawing (together with all accrued interest and other sums owing by the Borrower hereunder and/or other Application Documents) shall be repaid in one lump sum by the Borrower on the Repayment Date specified in the Application or a later date which the Lender shall determine at its absolute discretion in the event of any postponement or withdrawal of the listing of the Shares. Should the Borrower experience any difficulty in repaying or servicing any of the term loans granted hereunder, the Borrower shall inform |
the Lender as soon as possible.
7. Enforcement:
If repayment is not made by the Borrower on the Repayment Date specified in the Application or such later date as the Lender may determine and agree in its sole and absolute discretion or if any of the events of default as set out in Clause 14 below (“Events of Default”, each of them an “Event of Default”) occurs:
(a) all amounts advanced under the Facility and all interest accrued thereon will become immediately due and repayable and, without prejudice to the Lender’s rights provided herein or any other provisions of these Terms and Conditions, the Borrower hereby irrevocably authorises and instructs the Lender (and the Lender shall thereby be entitled) to dispose of the Shares or any part thereof on the Borrower’s behalf at such time and at such price as the Lender shall determine and to apply the net proceeds of such disposal in repayment of the amounts outstanding under the Facility;
(b) the Lender may (and the Borrower hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Lender may) put a “hold” on any available amount of funds in the Borrower’s settlement account for securities (which may be up to the entire cash balance in such settlement account including those derived from unsettled securities transactions and may not be limited to the amount outstanding under the Facility) and the Borrower may not utilize such funds in such settlement account to purchase any other securities during such “hold” period as the Lender may impose at its sole and absolute discretion; and/or
(c) the Lender may enforce the security created under Clause 32 below or take any step to enforce and/or preserve any of its rights, remedies, powers or discretions hereunder.
8. Conditions Precedent: The Lender is not obliged to make available any particular Drawing requested in respect of an Application unless the Lender has received and found satisfactory each of the following :
(a) This Application duly completed and submitted by the Borrower and acknowledged by the Lender in acceptance.
(b) All documents required to be signed, executed, submitted, agreed to and/or accepted by the Borrower in relation to the Application, and such documents shall be in such form and of such substance as may be prescribed by the Lender (the "Application Documents").
(c) The Up-front Payment (as defined below) as set out in the Application in immediately available funds and deposited into the account specified therein.
(d) Any other authorisation, approval or other document, opinion or assurance as the Lender may request.

Application Documents, the Lender reserves the overriding right at its sole and absolute discretion to increase, reduce and/or cancel the Facility or any part or parts thereof or to vary or amend the terms and conditions thereof at any time to be effective forthwith without prior notice to the Borrower.

(b) make loans, advance moneys, grant credit to or guarantee or indemnify the liability of any person, firm or company.
13. Instruction to apply: The Borrower hereby:

(b) declares and warrants that the Application is the only application made and the only application intended by the Borrower to be made to benefit it and the Application will not, whether singly or in conjunction with other instruction which the Borrower may give to the Lender or any other party, constitute multiple applications in breach of the Rules of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The Borrower understands that this declaration/warranty will be relied upon by the Lender and BOC (HK) Nominee in making the Application to the said issuer incorporating a similar declaration/warranty which in turn will be relied upon by the issuer in deciding whether or not to make any allotment of the Shares in response to the Application.
(c) agrees and confirms the application to the Lender for the Facility to finance the Application on the Terms and Conditions as set out herein and such other terms and conditions as contained in the Application Documents.
(d) undertakes to provide the Lender with sufficient immediately available funds (excluding any amount to be financed by the Lender) (the "Up- front Payment"), the breakdown of which is set out in the Application, which shall include the deposit amount (the "Deposit Amount"), the IPOF subscription handling fee, the loan commitment fee and any Charges (as defined below) for the purpose of the Application before the Deadline. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the full amount of the Deposit Amount paid by the Borrower to the Lender shall be applied in payment for the subscription of the Shares pursuant to the Application, with the remaining amount to be paid for such subscription to be financed hereunder to the extent of the Loan Commitment Amount.
(e) undertakes to pay to the Lender on demand all brokerage, charges, commission, fees and expenses (the "Charges") which may be charged or incurred by the Lender or BOC (HK) Nominee for or in relation to the Application or the nominee arrangement set out in Clause 13(i) below.
(f) irrevocably authorises, directs and instructs the Lender to debit its account maintained with the Lender (particulars of which are set out in the Application) for the Up-front Payment on or before the Deadline. In case the said account is a current account, the Borrower further agrees and authorises the Lender to debit its said current account notwithstanding that to do so may result in an overdraft or an increase of the overdraft on the said current account provided that the Lender is entitled at its sole and absolute discretion not to make such debits or honour such payments should the said current account fails to have the immediately available funds or overdraft facility.
(g) (to the extent that any amount paid for the subscription of the Shares pursuant to an Application is refunded and notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms and Conditions) irrevocably authorises and instructs the Lender or, as the case may be, BOC (HK) Nominee to receive, appropriate and apply, upon receipt but after deduction of the Charges, all sums received by any of them as a refund in respect of the Application towards discharge of the whole or, as the case may be, part of the indebtedness (whether principal, interest or otherwise) owing by it under the Facility provided or to be provided by the Lender to it in connection with the Application provided that, in the case of any surplus (the “Surplus”), the Lender or, as the case may be, BOC (HK) Nominee shall pay the same to the Borrower into its account with the Lender as may be previously designated by it or in such other manner as it may have agreed with the Lender or BOC (HK) Nominee.

(h) agrees that all sums refunded in respect of the Application, if received by the Borrower or BOC (HK) Nominee, shall be held by it for and on behalf of the Lender to enable all amounts which may be or become payable to the Lender by the Borrower under or in connection with the Facility to be repaid in full, and the Borrower shall promptly (and the Borrower hereby
instructs BOC (HK) Nominee to) pay or transfer the same to the Lender for application in accordance with Clause 13(g) above.
(i) confirms that subject to any contrary agreement contained in any document relating to the Facility, all the Shares issued as a result of the Application shall be held by the Lender or, as the case may be, BOC (HK) Nominee as its nominee and the Borrower hereby undertakes to sign and execute all such documents as may be prescribed by the Lender or BOC (HK) Nominee for such purpose.
(j) (for the avoidance of doubt and for so long as there remains any sum to be lent to or payable by the Borrower under the Facility) irrevocably authorises the Lender and BOC (HK) Nominee to disregard any of the Borrower's instructions and authorisations relating to any of the Shares issued as a result of the Application (except as set out herein) and confirm that the Lender and BOC (HK) Nominee may act in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in any document relating to the Facility, including these Terms and Conditions.

(l) acknowledges that the Facility to be advanced by the Lender is subject to the sole and absolute discretion of the Lender. In the absence of written consent from the Lender, the Borrower agrees and undertakes that it will not and has no right to cancel, revoke or vary the Application once it has submitted the same to the Lender and the Borrower shall be bound by the Terms and Conditions as set out herein as well as the terms of the Application Documents.
(m) acknowledges that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated herein, the Lender reserves the overriding right at its absolute discretion at any time and without giving any reason or compensation after approving and accepting the grant of the Facility, to cancel all or any part of the Facility or demand immediate repayment of all or any part of outstanding indebtedness, liabilities and obligations (including interest and default interest) due, owing to or incurred by the Lender (whether actual or contingent) under or in respect of the Facility.

Security: | (a) In consideration of the Lender granting and continuing to make available the Facility to the Borrower, the Borrower, as beneficial owner, hereby charges (and agrees to charge) by way of first fixed charge and assigns absolutely (and agrees to assign absolutely) to the Lender: (i) all of the Shares subscribed for by, and issued to, the Borrower (or otherwise issued in favour of the Lender (or its nominee) for account of the Borrower) pursuant to, as a result of or otherwise in connection with the Application (the "Charged Shares") and all of the Borrower's rights, title, interest and benefit of, in and to such Charged Shares, including (without limitation): (1) rights to give instructions with respect to the Charged Shares; (2) all claims for damages and rights to receive monies due or to become due for any reason whatsoever in connection with the Charged Shares; (3) any assets deriving from, or relating to, the Charged Shares; and (4) all dividends, interest, distributions, allotments, offers, benefits, entitlements, securities and rights accruing, paid, made, offered or arising in respect of, and the proceeds of sale of, the Charged Shares; and (ii) to the extent that any amount paid for the subscription of the Shares pursuant to the Application is refunded, all sums of money so refunded or which may be refundable in relation to the Application, (together, the "Charged Assets"), in each case, as a continuing security for the due and punctual payment and discharge of all amounts, obligations and liabilities due, owing or incurred by the Borrower to the Lender under the Application and these Terms and Conditions, including the Facility (together, the "Secured Indebtedness"), provided that where the Borrower comprises more than one person, the Secured Indebtedness shall be limited to all amounts, obligations and liabilities due, owing or incurred by all of the persons comprising the Borrower jointly. (b) The Lender will not be liable for any failure to collect any amount payable on the Charged Shares, to pay any call or instalment, or to take any action in respect of them, or for any loss in connection with them. |
(c) The Borrower agrees not to do or cause or permit to be done any thing which may in any way depreciate, jeopardise or otherwise prejudice the value of the Lender's security hereunder.
(d) The security constituted by this Clause 32 shall be a continuing security and shall remain in full force and effect until the Secured Indebtedness has been irrevocably and unconditionally discharged in full, notwithstanding the death, bankruptcy, winding-up, insolvency or liquidation or any incapacity of the Borrower or any other person, or any intermediate settlement of account or other matter whatsoever. The security constituted by this Clause 32 is in addition to, and independent of, any encumbrance, guarantee or other security or right or remedy now or at any time hereafter held by or available to the Lender.
(e) Notwithstanding any discharge, release or settlement from time to time between the Lender and the Borrower, if any security, disposition or payment granted or made to the Lender in respect of the Secured Indebtedness by the Borrower or any other person is avoided or set aside or ordered to be surrendered, paid away, refunded or reduced by virtue of any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise, the Lender shall be entitled to enforce the security hereby constituted as if no such discharge, release or settlement had occurred.
(f) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the security created under this Clause 32 shall become enforceable in accordance with the provisions hereof. At any time after the security hereby created has become enforceable, the power of sale and other powers conferred hereunder, and all other powers conferred on mortgagees by law or otherwise, shall be immediately exercisable and the Lender shall be entitled to enforce the security hereby constituted and may, without prior notice to the Borrower, retain, apply, realise, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Charged Assets and apply the proceeds thereof in or towards the discharge of the costs thereby incurred and of the Secured Indebtedness in such manner as the Lender in its absolute discretion thinks fit, with the remaining balance of such proceeds (if any) to be paid to the Borrower. Such power of sale or other disposal shall operate as a variation and extension of the power of sale conferred by any relevant statutory or other law, but any restrictions on such powers by such statutory or other law shall not apply to the fullest extent permissible under such statutory or other law. In the event that the net proceeds of disposal of the Charged Assets received by the Lender are insufficient to settle the full amount of the Secured Indebtedness, the Borrower undertakes to pay to the Lender immediately on demand the balance of any amount then due and owing to the Lender. Without limiting
the foregoing, the Lender shall be entitled to take any other action required to facilitate the realisation and disposal of any of the Charged Assets.
(g) The security created under this Clause 32 may be enforced without the Lender first having recourse to any other security or rights or taking any other steps or proceedings against any other person and may be enforced for any balance due after resorting to any one or more other means of obtaining payment or discharge of the monies, obligations and liabilities hereby secured.
(h) The Borrower shall not have any claim against the Lender or against any nominee, custodian, agent, representative, correspondent or attorney of the Lender in respect of any loss arising out of the sale of the Charged Assets or any of them or any postponement thereof howsoever caused and whether or not a better price could or might have been obtained upon the sale of the Charged Assets or any of them by deferring or advancing the date of such sale or otherwise howsoever. Nothing that shall be done by or on behalf of the Lender or anyone appointed by the Lender shall render it liable to account as a mortgagee in possession for any sums other than actual receipts.
(i) The Borrower will do or permit to be done everything which the Lender may from time to time require to be done for the purpose of enforcing the Lender's rights hereunder and will allow the name of the Borrower to be used as and when required by the Lender for that purpose.
(j) The Lender may exercise its rights under this Clause 32 without prejudice to, and without affecting, any other rights it may have under these Terms and Conditions.
