REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE FURTHER DISPOSAL OF NVIDIA SHARES

As a result of the Further Disposal of NVIDIA Shares, the Group is expected to recognise a gain of approximately US$0.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4.7 million) being the difference between the consideration received from the Further Disposal of NVIDIA Shares and the acquisition cost of disposed NVIDIA Shares. The Group considers that the Further Disposal of NVIDIA Shares represents an opportunity to allow the Group to reallocate the resources and investment portfolio. The Group has applied all of the proceeds from the Further Disposal of NVIDIA Shares of approximately US$1.9 million (equivalent to approximately HK$14.8 million) in aggregate for general working capital of the Group or other appropriate investment opportunities as and when appropriate.

As the Further Disposal of NVIDIA Shares was made in the open market at prevailing market prices, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Further Disposal of NVIDIA Shares are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
