The Consideration will be reserved by the Group as general working capital. Upon Completion and subject to audit, the Group is expected to record a gain of approximately HK$2.8 million, based on the amounts of the Consideration, the consolidated net liabilities of the Disposal Group as at 31 December 2016 and the Shareholder’s Loan.
REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL
The Group is principally engaged in the (i) electronic manufacturing services; (ii) marketing and distribution of communications products; and (iii) securities and other assets investment.
It is the Company’s business strategy to shift its business focus on the medical and healthcare industry. After the Disposal, the Company will focus on exploring and identifying suitable targets in the medical and healthcare industry and capture opportunities in the healthcare industry.
After taking into account of the performance of the Disposal Group and the burden of diverging further resources from other businesses of the Group, the Directors consider that the Disposal is in the interests of the Group and will enable the management to focus on existing business operations of the Group and to explore future investment opportunities to realise gains for the Shareholders.
Accordingly, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and the Disposal is on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
None of the Directors has any material interest in the Disposal and have abstained from voting on the resolution passed by the Board in respect of the Disposal.
