INTRODUCTION
References are made to the respective announcements of CA Cultural Technology Group Limited (the “ Company ”) dated 22 September 2017, 27 September 2017, 23 January 2019 and 24 January 2020 (the “ Announcements ”) in relation to the issuance of the 7.5% secured guaranteed notes in the aggregate principal amount up to HK$300,000,000 (the “ Notes ”). Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcements unless otherwise stated.
As at the date of this announcement, only the First Note in the principal amount of HK$200,000,000 has been issued by the Company to the Subscriber and the remaining balance thereof is HK$80,000,000 (the “ Remaining Balance ”), and HK$20,000,000 in principal amount for the First Note has been repaid since the last announcement in relation to the Notes made on 24 January 2020. The First Note was amended by a supplemental deed (the “ 1st Supplemental Deed ”) which was entered into on 23 January 2019, and it was further amended by another supplemental deed (the “ 2nd Supplemental Deed ”), which was entered into on 24 January 2020.
Recently, the Company has sought and obtained the approval of the Subscriber, being the sole holder of the First Note, to amend certain terms and conditions of the First Note (the “ Amendments ”). The Company, the Chargor, Newgate, the Subscriber and the Personal Guarantor entered into a further supplemental deed to the Subscription Agreement, the 1[st] Supplemental Deed and the 2[nd] Supplemental Deed (the “ 3[rd] Supplemental Deed ”) to effect the Amendments with effect from the first business day after the date upon which all conditions precedents (the “ Conditions Precedent ”) set forth in the section headed “CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE AMENDMENTS” below have been satisfied or waived by the Subscriber, which is 13 January 2021 (the “ Effective Date ”).

-
the Remaining Balance will bear interest from and including 27 September 2020 to the Maturity Date at the rate of 8.5% per annum; and
-
each of the Company and the Subscriber may, after 26 March 2021, without the prior consent of the other party, redeem the Remaining Balance in whole or in part, before the Maturity Date, by serving a written notice to such other party at least five Business Days before the intended redemption date.

REASONS FOR THE AMENDMENTS
The Directors consider that the Amendments are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole as the extension of the maturity date of the First Note will provide more financial flexibility to the Company during the extended period during which the Company may utilize its resources for further business development and business opportunities.
Save for the Amendments, all other principal terms of the Subscription Agreement and the terms and conditions of the Notes as disclosed in the Announcements remain unchanged.
