DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE LEASE OF SAN PO KONG SITE

THE LEASE OF SAN PO KONG RESTAURANT

The Board announces that the Offer Letter dated 13 December 2021 was signed between Moly Power Limited (an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group) as tenant and Sun Hung Kai Real Estate (Sales and Leasing) Agency Limited as the agent of the landlord (an Independent Third Party) in respect of the lease of San Po Kong Site for a term of three years commencing from 1 March 2022 to 28 February 2025 (both days inclusive) with an option to renew for a further three years.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Pursuant to HKFRS 16 Leases, the Company if entering into lease transaction as lessee will recognise a right-of-use asset in its consolidated financial statements. Such transaction will be regarded as acquisition of capital asset for the purpose of the GEM Listing Rules. As one or more than one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Lease based on the value of the right-of-use asset recognised by the Group is more than 5% but below 25%, the Lease constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company, and is therefore subject to notification and announcement requirements but exempt from Shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

REASON FOR AND THE BENEFITS OF ENTERING THE LEASE OF THE SAN PO KONG SITE

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of catering services in Hong Kong. In view of the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic (the “ Pandemic ”) since January 2020, the food and beverage industry in Hong Kong has been seriously affected and since February 2021, the Hong Kong government has gradually relaxed the restrictions on operation of restaurants in Hong Kong, including (i) maximum number of people allowed to be seated together at one table at catering business premises was increased from two to four; (ii) dine-in services restaurant was extended to 10:00 p.m.; and the launch of the “vaccine bubbles” for restaurants which further relaxed dining restrictions based upon the number of staff that have been vaccinated and intermittency of testing. Hong Kong government also launched the COVID-19 vaccination program. As such, the Directors consider it is prudent and competitive to operate a new restaurant at San Po Kong site. The new restaurant will operate a Korean BBQ and hotpot restaurant under the trade name of “ 一韓燒 ”.

The Directors believes that the San Po Kong Site is located at a location with good customer traffic at favorable rent. Thus, the Directors believe San Po Kong Site will be a good location to open new restaurants.

The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, considered that the transactions contemplated under the Lease are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and the Lease is entered into on normal commercial terms after arm’s length negotiations between the parties, and the terms of the transactions contemplated under the Lease are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
