REALLOCATION AND CHANGE OF USE OF PROCEEDS
In view of the slowdown of the luxury goods market in the Greater China Region and the decrease in demand and thus turnover of the luxury jewellery products (for details, please refer to the announcements issued by the Company on 13 March 2015, 20 May 2015, interim results announcements dated 29 May 2015 and 13 August 2015), the board has resolved to reallocate the HK$100 million originally allocated for development of new jewellery product bearing the trademarks of Omas ((i) above) and the HK$100 million originally allocated for further expansion of existing distribution business ((ii) above) for money lending business.
Save for the aforesaid changes, there is no other change of the use of net proceeds from the Open Offer.
