Date

21 November 2016

Parties

  • (1) The Company

  • (2) Hengdeli

Hengdeli and its associates hold and control 300,000,000 Shares representing approximately 12.24% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and is a connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The 40% to 44% discount from the standard retail prices offered by the Company to Hengdeli, which is in line with the discount offered by the Company to Hengdeli under the Cooperation Agreement expired on 30 September 2016, was agreed between the Company and Hengdeli after arm’s length negotiation. The Directors (excluding the Independent Board Committee whose views have been set out in the ‘‘Letter from the Independent Board Committee’’ in this circular) are of the view that, notwithstanding a higher discount was offered to Hengdeli than to other independent retailers, the pricing under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement provides the Company a reasonable profit margin of comparable transactions, and that the transactions contemplated under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement shall bring in considerable revenue to the Company, based on the historical amount of sales to Hengdeli.

Hengdeli is not the exclusive retailer of the Group for the Products and there is no minimum purchase amount required under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement. Hengdeli shall place purchase orders to the Group from time to time according to the retail demands and the Group shall deliver the required models and numbers of the Products to Hengdeli within 7 business days from the date of issuance of the respective purchase order. The Company shall issue monthly sale invoices to Hengdeli which shall be settled in cash by Hengdeli within 30 days of the date of issue of the sale invoices.

The Renewed Cooperation Agreement was negotiated and determined on an arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms.

The Renewed Cooperation Agreement is conditional upon the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

Proposed Annual Cap

The Company proposes that the Annual Cap under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement (in respect of which Independent Shareholders approval is proposed to be sought at the EGM) for the financial year ending 30 September 2017 will be RMB50,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$56,500,000). The original annual cap for the transactions contemplated under the Cooperation Agreement is RMB50,000,000 which covered the period from 1 October 2015 to 30 September 2016.

The actual transaction amounts of the respective transactions contemplated under the Cooperation Agreement for the period from 1 October 2015 to 30 September 2016 was approximately HK$42,935,366 in aggregate, which represents approximately 70.8% of the annual cap under the Cooperation Agreement as approved by the Independent Shareholders.

The Annual Cap was determined by reference to (i) the anticipated demand of the transactions and the historical volume of the comparable transactions under the Cooperation Agreement; and (ii) the anticipated demand of the Products bearing the trademarks of GUCCI, GIRARD-PERREGAUX and JEANRICHARD.

The Directors (excluding the Independent Board Committee whose views have been set out in the ‘‘Letter from the Independent Board Committee’’ in this circular) are of the opinion that the Annual Cap is fair and reasonable.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders and investors should note that the Annual Cap is prepared to enable the Company to comply with the requirements of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. In particular, the above factors for determining the Annual Cap is based on the reasonable assumptions of the Company only, no assurance is given as to whether or not, and the extent to which, the Group will be able to achieve the demands and to generate the revenues under the transactions contemplated under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement.

Reasons and benefits for the transactions under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement

The Renewed Cooperation Agreement represents good opportunities for the Group to strengthen its collaboration with Hengdeli and make use of its extensive and quality distribution networks and its vast experiences in operating and managing retail outlets for luxury jewellery products in order to promote and distribute the products of the Group.

The Renewed Cooperation Agreement was entered into during the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group.

The Renewed Cooperation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

PROPOSED REFRESHMENT OF THE SCHEME MANDATE LIMIT

The Share Option Scheme was adopted by the Company on 1 March 2013. Apart from the Share Option Scheme, the Company has no other share option scheme currently in force.

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme and in compliance with Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, the maximum number of Shares that may be issued upon exercise of all the share options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme shall not exceed 436,602,729 Shares, being 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of approval and adoption of the Share Option Scheme. After the Company’s share consolidation (consolidating every ten

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shares then in issue into one Share) conducted in March 2015, the share options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme were accordingly adjusted and shall not exceed 43,660,272 Shares.

During the period from 1 March 2013 to the Latest Practicable Date, (i) 43,660,272 share options were granted to the eligible participants under the Share Option Scheme; and (ii) no share option was lapsed, exercised or cancelled. As at the Latest Practicable Date, a total of 43,660,272 outstanding share options entitle the holders thereof to subscribe for 43,660,272 Shares, representing 1.78% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Company has used up the existing Scheme Mandate Limit and as such, it may not grant any more share option pursuant to the Share Option Scheme unless the Scheme Mandate Limit is refreshed.

The Company conducted an open offer in March 2015, upon completion of which the issued share capital of the Company was increased. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were totally 2,451,771,105 Shares in issue. Assuming no further Shares are issued or repurchased during the period from the Latest Practicable Date to the EGM, the number of Shares in issue as at the passing of the ordinary resolution will be 2,451,771,105 Shares. Accordingly it is expected that, upon the approval of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit at the EGM, and on the assumption that no further Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company from the Latest Practicable Date to the EGM, the number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution granting the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit will be 2,451,771,105 and therefore, the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit under the EGM would be 245,177,110 Shares, representing 10% of the number of shares in issue at the time of passing the ordinary resolution.

In order to provide the Company with greater flexibility in granting Options to eligible participants under the Share Option Scheme as incentives or rewards for their contributions to the Group, an ordinary resolution as set out in the notice of EGM is proposed to seek Shareholders’ approval at the EGM to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit of the Share Option Scheme to 10% of the Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the resolution.

Pursuant to the terms of the Share Option Scheme and in accordance with Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules, the Shares which may be issued upon exercise of all outstanding share options granted and yet to be exercised under the Share Option Scheme and any other share option scheme(s) of the Company shall not exceed 30% of the Shares in issue from time to time. No share options shall be granted under any scheme(s) of the Company if this will result in the 30% limit being exceeded.

Assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased by the Company from the Latest Practicable Date to the EGM, the number of Shares in issue as at the date of passing of the ordinary resolution granting the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit will be 2,451,771,105 and therefore, the refreshed Scheme Mandate Limit under the EGM would be 245,177,110 Shares, representing 10% of the number of shares in issue at the time of passing the ordinary resolution, in respect of which options may be granted under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed together with all outstanding options granted and yet to be exercised as at the Latest Practicable Date for an aggregate of 288,837,382 Shares does not exceed the 30% limit as at the Latest Practicable Date.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors consider that it is in the interest of the Company to refresh the Scheme Mandate Limit to permit the grant of further share options under the Share Option Scheme so as to provide incentives to, and recognise the contributions of, the Group’s employees and other selected grantees.

The adoption of the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is conditional upon:

  • (a) the Shareholders passing an ordinary resolution to approve the refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit at the EGM; and

  • (b) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the approval of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of any options that may be granted pursuant to the Share Option Scheme under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

Application will be made to the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Shares which may be issued pursuant to the exercise of the share options that may be granted under the Share Option Scheme under the Scheme Mandate Limit as refreshed.

Recommendation

The Directors consider that the proposed refreshment of the Scheme Mandate Limit is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution to be proposed at the EGM.

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO THE ARTICLES

At the EGM, a special resolution will be proposed to the Shareholders to amend the Articles for the purpose of establishing and facilitating the operation of a co-chairman structure for the Company.

The amendments to the Articles will:

  • (a) allow the Board to elect one or more of the Directors to be co-chairmen of the Company; and

  • (b) provide the mechanism for determining the chairman of each meeting of the Board and the chairman of each general meeting where the Company has one or more cochairmen.

The proposed amendments to the Articles are set out in the special resolution included in the notice of the EGM on pages EGM-1 to EGM-4 of this circular.

We consider that we have performed all the necessary steps as required under Rule 13.80 of the Listing Rules to enable us to reach an informed view and to justify our reliance on the information provided and representations made to us so as to form a reasonable basis for our opinions including, among other things:

Our opinion was necessarily based on financial, market and other conditions in effect, and the information made available to us as at the Latest Practicable Date.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinions and recommendations to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Renewed Cooperation Agreement, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

I. Background and reasons for entering into the Renewed Cooperation Agreement

  • (i) Information of the Group and its domestic segment

The Group is principally engaged in distribution of watches, wholesale trading of jewellery products, mining, money lending and securities investments.

Referring to the Interim Report 2016, the Group has four operating segments with continuing operations, namely (i) domestic segment; (ii) mining segment; (iii) money lending segment; and (iv) securities investments segment. The distribution and wholesale trading of watches and jewellery products are operated under its domestic segment, where the Group trades watches and jewellery products under two exclusive distribution rights of (a) a prestigious European luxury brand in connection with its marketing, distribution, advertising, promotion and sale of watches and jewellery products in Hong Kong, Macau

– 19 –

LETTER FROM NEW SPRING CAPITAL

and the PRC, and (b) products of ‘‘GIRARD-PERREGAUX’’ and ‘‘JEANRICHARD’’ (Swiss’ luxury watch brands) in the PRC, Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan; as well as conducts wholesale trading of other jewellery product brands in the PRC. Referring to the Annual Report 2015 and the Interim Report 2016, revenue derived under its domestic segment was approximately HK$345.5 million and HK$172.7 million, which accounted for approximately 94.6% and 92.6% of the Group’s revenue, for the year ended 30 September 2015 (‘‘FY2015’’) and the six months ended 31 March 2016 (‘‘6M2016’’) respectively. Such business represents the major revenue stream of the Group.

We are also given to understand that the Group had once undergone retail business of watches and jewellery products, but such business was ceased during the year ended 30 September 2014 (‘‘FY2014’’). Referring to the announcement of the Company dated 30 June 2014 in relation to a disposal of a subsidiary and its annual report for FY2014, it is noted that the Company disposed of its entire equity interest of a former subsidiary on 30 June 2014 which was principally engaged in the retails of watches in the PRC. From then on, the Group did not own retail network for its watches and jewellery business.

(ii) Information of Hengdeli and its business relationship with the Group

Hengdeli is a major retailer and distributor of imported medium and high-grade watches and jewellery items in the Greater China Region with a core presence in the PRC and Hong Kong. It operates extensive retail outlets and boutiques of watches, jewellery items and other related accessories in various major cities in the Greater China Region. Referring to the interim report of Hengdeli for the six months ended 30 June 2016, the group of Hengdeli (‘‘Hengdeli Group’’) had 470 retail outlets in the PRC, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan as at 30 June 2016, where 397 outlets were dispread across key regions in the PRC including Beijing, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Henan, Shanxi, Hubei, Northeastern and Southwestern China while 21 outlets were located in Hong Kong and Macau and 52 outlets were located in Taiwan.

We are given to understand that the Group’s business cooperation with Hengdeli in the watches and jewellery business could be traced back to 2012, and both parties have entered into several cooperation agreements in the consecutive years with this respect (while details are disclosed in the Company’s announcements in relation to continuing connected transactions dated 5 October 2012, 9 October 2013, 23 July 2014, 13 February 2015 and 19 August 2015). According to the Annual Report 2015 and the Interim Report 2016, sales of goods to Hengdeli Group amounted to approximately HK$42.5 million and HK$25.2 million for FY2015 and 6M2016, representing approximately 11.6% and 13.5% of the Group’s revenue during the same periods, respectively. During FY2015 and 6M2016, Hengdeli was the largest customer of the Group and hence, the Company considers Hengdeli as one of the major retailers and distributors of the Group’s watches and jewellery business under the domestic segment.

LETTER FROM NEW SPRING CAPITAL

(iii) Reasons for entering into the Renewed Cooperation Agreement

Under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement, the Group shall sell to Hengdeli the Products of internationally renowned brands distributed by the Group for sale in the Greater China Region. The Renewed Cooperation Agreement was entered on 21 November 2016 between the Company and Hengdeli for renewal of the Cooperation Agreement which has expired on 30 September 2016.

The Renewed Cooperation Agreement was entered in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group. It is noted that the sale of the Products to Hengdeli under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement will be primarily timepieces and also accessories of a prestigious European luxury brand and two Swiss’ luxury watch brands namely ‘‘GIRARD-PERREGAUX’’ and ‘‘JEANRICHARD’’.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Directors considered that the Renewed Cooperation Agreement represents good opportunities for the Group to strengthen its collaboration with Hengdeli and make use of its extensive and quality distribution networks and its vast experiences in operating and managing retail outlets for luxury jewellery products in the promotion and distribution of the Group’s products. The Directors also advised that the Group intends to continue the cooperation with Hengdeli and leverage on its extensive distribution network in distributing the Products.

Having considered, as described above, (i) the Renewed Cooperation Agreement was entered in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group for the distribution of the Products, while the domestic segment is the major revenue stream of the Group; (ii) the established business cooperation with Hengdeli in the watches and jewellery business since 2012 and Hengdeli is one of the major retailers and distributors of the Group’s watches and jewellery business; and (iii) the Group, without its own retail network in distribution and wholesale trading of watches and jewellery products, could leverage on Hengdeli’s extensive retail network in selling the Products in the Greater China Region, we concur with the Directors that the entering into the Renewed Cooperation Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

II. Principal terms of the Renewed Cooperation Agreement

Under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement, the Group shall sell to Hengdeli the Products of internationally renowned brands distributed by the Group at the wholesale prices which are 40% to 44% discount from the standard retail prices (the ‘‘Standard Retail Prices’’) of the respective models of the Products for sale in the Greater China Region from time to time determined by the brand owners.

The Company offers 40% to 44% discount from the Standard Retail Prices to Hengdeli and 37.5% to 38% discount from the Standard Retail Prices to other independent retailers. As stated in the Letter from the Board, the 40% to 44% discount from the Standard Retail Prices offered by the Company to Hengdeli, which is in line with the discount offered by the Company to Hengdeli under the Cooperation Agreement expired on 30 September 2016, was agreed between the Company and Hengdeli after arm’s length negotiation. The Directors (excluding the Independent Board Committee whose views have been set out in the ‘‘Letter

– 21 –

LETTER FROM NEW SPRING CAPITAL

from the Independent Board Committee’’ in the Circular) are of the view that, notwithstanding a higher discount was offered to Hengdeli than to other independent retailers, the pricing under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement provides the Company a reasonable profit margin of comparable transactions, and that the transactions contemplated under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement shall bring in considerable revenue to the Company, based on the historical amount of sales to Hengdeli.

Hengdeli is not the exclusive retailer of the Group for the Products and there is no minimum purchase amount required under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement. Hengdeli shall place purchase orders to the Group from time to time according to the retail demands and the Group shall deliver the required models and numbers of the Products to Hengdeli within 7 business days from the date of issuance of the respective purchase order. The Company shall issue monthly sale invoices to Hengdeli which shall be settled in cash by Hengdeli within 30 days of the date of issue of the sale invoices.

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Renewed Cooperation Agreement was negotiated and determined on an arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms.

(i) Pricing basis

We understand from the Company that the sale of the Products to Hengdeli under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement will be primarily timepieces and also accessories of a prestigious European luxury brand and two Swiss’ luxury watch bearing the trademarks of ‘‘GIRARD-PERREGAUX’’ and ‘‘JEANRICHARD’’. The brand owners of the Products will (i) issue standard or suggested retail price lists to the Group indicating the Standard Retail Prices of the respective models of the Products, and such prices are subject to change from time to time as determined by the brand owners; and (ii) offer the Company rates of discount in the range of 37.5% to 51% from the Standard Retail Prices, which are the standard rates of discount determined by the brand owners. After taking into consideration the profitability of the Group from the distribution of relevant Products and the historical transaction terms with Hengdeli, the Company offers 40% to 44% discount from the Standard Retail Prices to Hengdeli. We are advised by the Company that such basis is line with the historical practice between the Company and Hengdeli, while the Company has also adopted the pricing basis in such way to its independent retailers.

As advised by the Directors, the Group offers different ranges of discount rates to Hengdeli and other independent retailers, which are 40% to 44% discount from the Standard Retail Prices to Hengdeli and 37.5% to 38% discount from the Standard Retail Prices to other independent retailers. We are given to understand that better offers to Hengdeli is mainly due to (i) Hengdeli operates 397 retail outlets in the PRC and a total of 21 retail outlets in Hong Kong and Macau; (ii) Hengdeli was the largest customer of the Group (in terms of purchase value) of each of the past two financial years; and (iii) Hengdeli is the only customer, among the five largest customers of the Group of the past two financial years, which operates retail outlets in Hong Kong and Macau. We have obtained and reviewed sample sales documents with respect to watches and jewellery products distributed by the Group to Hengdeli Group and other retailers for FY2015 and 6M2016. It is noted that Hengdeli Group ranked as the largest customer of the Group and

– 22 –

LETTER FROM NEW SPRING CAPITAL

slightly greater discounts were generally offered to it. We therefore consider it is commercially reasonable to give better offer to Hengdeli who is a major retailer and distributor of the Group’s watches and jewellery business.

Having considered (i) the pricing basis under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement is in line with the historical practice between the Company and Hengdeli and was agreed between the Company and Hengdeli after arm’s length negotiation; (ii) the similar pricing approach has also been adopted by the Group to other retailers; (iii) though the Group may offer slightly greater discounts to Hengdeli under the transactions contemplated under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement as previous, it will be commercially reasonable due to the historical transactions with Hengdeli who has been the top customer mentioned above; and (iv) as the standard rates of discount are given by brand owners to the Company and the Standard Retail Prices are subject to change from time to time by brand owners, the pre-agreed range of discounts to be offered to Hengdeli on the sale of the Products could enable the Group to maintain reasonable profits, we therefore are of the view that the pricing basis with respect to the Renewed Cooperation Agreement is fair and reasonable.

(ii) Payment terms

It is noted that the payment terms under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement remained as previous under the Cooperation Agreement. Given such terms were negotiated based on normal commercial decision between the Company and Hengdeli, we concur with the Directors that the payment terms is fair.

(iii) Basis of the proposed Annual Cap

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the Annual Cap under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement for the financial year ending 30 September 2017 will be RMB50,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$56,500,000), which was determined by reference to (i) the anticipated demand of the transactions and the historical volume of the comparable transactions under the Cooperation Agreement; and (ii) the anticipated demand of the Products bearing the trademarks a prestigious European luxury brand and two Swiss’ luxury watch brands namely ‘‘GIRARD-PERREGAUX’’ and ‘‘JEANRICHARD’’.

We note that the Renewed Cooperation Agreement shall take effect on 20 December 2016 (conditionally upon approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM) to a term expiring on 30 September 2017. The Company confirmed that since the expiry of the Cooperation Agreement and up to the Latest Practicable Date, it had yet conducted any sales of Products with Hengdeli mainly due to the Cooperation Agreement has not been renewed, while the Company understood from Hengdeli that Hengdeli remains the need for sourcing the Products. The Annual Cap was therefore determined on a full year basis to reflect potential orders from Hengdeli. Under such basis, the Annual Cap maintains at the same level as the annual consideration of the transactions contemplated under the Cooperation Agreement of RMB50,000,000 for the year ended 30 September 2016 (the ‘‘Annual Cap 2016’’).

– 23 –

LETTER FROM NEW SPRING CAPITAL

(a) Market demand for watches

According to the statistics released by Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry FH in November 2016, in relation to the world distribution of Swiss watch exports for the months of January to October 2016 (the ‘‘Period’’), the value of Swiss watch exports to Hong Kong and China was CHF1,919.3 million and CHF1,037.0 million respectively for the Period, which decreased by 28.4% and 7.4% respectively comparing to the exports value to such jurisdictions for the corresponding period of last year. Despite the decreases in value, Hong Kong and China continued to rank the first and the fourth among countries, where they represented approximately 12.1% and 6.5% of the total world exports of Swiss watches respectively for the Period. Among which, the portion of exports to China in terms of the total world exports recorded a slight increase, by approximately 0.2%, from approximately 6.3% for the first ten months of 2015.

While looking into the performance of sales of watches in the PRC, an article titled ‘‘China’s watch market’’ published by Hong Kong Trade Development Council on 3 August 2016 revealed that the overall sales of watches in China recorded an increase of 2.3% to RMB64.2 billion in 2015. Based on the above, we concur with the Company’s view that the demand for the Products in the market shall continue to exist and remain generally stable in the PRC.

  • (b) Historical transactions with Hengdeli Group and utilisation rate in terms of the Annual Cap

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the actual transaction amounts of the respective transactions contemplated under the Cooperation Agreement for the period from 1 October 2015 to 30 September 2016 was approximately HK$42,935,366 in aggregate. In terms of the Annual Cap, such amount represents approximately 76.0%. It is also noted that the sales to Hengdeli Group for FY2015 were approximately HK$42,501,000, which represents approximately 75.2% of the Annual Cap. The Company expected that its business cooperation with Hengdeli will remain stable in the forthcoming financial year.

Taking into account that (i) the market demand for the Products is expected to continue to exist and remain generally stable; (ii) the anticipated stable business cooperation with Hengdeli, while the Annual Cap shall able to support such similar amount of sales to Hengdeli in the forthcoming financial year and also provide the Group with certain buffer for unanticipated increase in demand from the market, in view of the utilisation rate when taking into account the historical sales to Hengdeli and the Annual Cap; and (iii) the Annual Cap was determined on a full year basis and maintains at the same level as the Annual Cap 2016, we are of the view that the Annual Cap is fair and reasonable.

III. Annual review of the transactions contemplated under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement

The Annual Cap will be subject to the annual review by the independent non-executive Directors, details of which must be included in the Company’s subsequent published annual report and accounts. In addition, pursuant to the Listing Rules, the auditors of the Company must provide a letter to the Board confirming, among others, that the continuing connected transactions of the Group are conducted in accordance with their terms and that the Annual Cap not being exceeded. Moreover, pursuant to the Listing Rules, the Company shall publish an announcement if it knows or has reason to believe that the independent non-executive Directors and/or its auditors will not be able to confirm the terms of such transactions or the relevant annual cap being exceeded. We are of the view that there are appropriate measures in place to govern the conduct of the continuing connected transactions under the Renewed Cooperation Agreement and the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders will be properly safeguarded.

OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the abovementioned principal factors and reasons, we are of the view that the Renewed Cooperation Agreement is on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the terms of the Renewed Cooperation Agreement including the Annual Cap are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned and the entering into the Renewed Cooperation Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
