DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO DISPOSAL OF PROPERTY
The Board wishes to announce that on 17 September 2014, the Vendor, an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which the Vendor agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase the Property at the Consideration of HK$75,000,000.
As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company and is subject to the announcement and reporting requirements but is exempt from the shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

INFORMATION OF THE PARTIES
The Purchaser is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and its connected person(s) as defined under the Listing Rules.
The Company is a holding company. The principal activities of its subsidiaries are the development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of electronic products (including micro-computers, telecommunication equipment, broadband communication products, internet appliances, wireless communication or networking equipment and other electronic products) as well as property investment. The Vendor is a properties holding company and is indirectly wholly-owned by the Company.
REASONS FOR AND FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL
In view of the recent appreciation of the property market in Hong Kong, the Board considers that it is a good opportunity to dispose the Property. The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
It is estimated that upon Completion, the net gain arising from the Disposal is expected to be approximately HK$1,900,000, being the difference between the Consideration receivable from the Disposal, i.e. HK$75,000,000, and the book value of the Property of approximately HK$72,100,000 as at 30 June 2014 and other related costs and expenses of approximately HK$1,000,000.
The Board intends to use the net proceeds arising from the Disposal of approximately HK$74,000,000 as general working capital and additional fund for future development.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company and is subject to the announcement and reporting requirements but is exempt from the shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
