Where:–

  • (a) utility deposits, management fee deposits, rates, government rent and other expenses prepaid in relation to the Property for the period up to and inclusive of the Completion Date as shown in the Apportionment Account; and

The cash portion of the Transaction consideration will be funded by internal resources of the Group.

Further details of the Promissory Note is set out in the section headed “Promissory Note” below.

Basis of the Transaction Consideration

The Transaction Consideration (comprising the Shares Consideration and the Loan Consideration) was arrived at based on normal commercial terms after arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendors and was determined after taking into account the following factors:

  • (a) the preliminary valuation on 100% interest of the Property (the “ Valuation ”) of approximately HK$150,000,000 as at 18 March 2015 prepared by an independent professional valuer;

  • (b) the net asset value of the Target Company;

  • (c) amount of the Sale Loan; and

  • (d) the reasons and benefits of the Acquisition as stated under the section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition” in this announcement.

Out of the Transaction Consideration, the Loan Consideration will be an amount equal to the Sale Loan as at the Completion Date.

The Transaction Consideration (assuming difference between Sum X and Sum Y as stipulated above to be zero) represents a discount of approximately 6.7% to the Valuation. Valuation report on the Property will be contained in the Circular.

In view of the above, the Board considers that the terms and conditions (including the Transaction Consideration) of the SPA are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is principally engaged in distribution of plantation products, environmental system and plantation materials, provision of green technology services and money lending business.

In view of the challenging economic and business environment, the management of the Group continued to review its existing businesses from time to time and strived to improve the business operation and financial position of the Group. It has been the business strategy of the Group to proactively seek potential investment opportunities in order to enhance value of the Shareholders. The Directors consider that it is beneficial for the Group to seek suitable investment opportunities from time to time to diversify its existing business portfolio into new line of business with growth potential and to broaden its source of income.

The Directors view that under prevailing economic environment, investing in the property market in Hong Kong is a relatively prudent investment option for providing the Group with a steady income stream and for capturing capital appreciation potential given limited supplies per year. The Directors also consider that car parking spaces are very limited in Hong Kong and they are relatively easier to lease out and have limited maintenance costs as compare to residential or commercial properties. In addition, car parking spaces will also enjoy capital appreciation potential as residential or commercial properties.

The Directors consider the Acquisition is in line with the Group’s business diversification strategy and represents an attractive investment opportunity for the Group to diversify and strengthening its asset base and expanding its business portfolio into the Hong Kong property sector with growth potential. It is expected that the Acquisition will be beneficial to the Group for bringing in additional and stable cashflow to the Group in view of the income generated from rental of the Property. As such, the Directors consider that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Upon Completion, the Group will continue to develop its existing businesses.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

As at the date of this announcement, Ms. Ma, mother of Mr. Yeung, an executive Director, owned 60% of each of the 1st Vendor and 2nd Vendor, therefore both Vendors are connected persons of the Company as defined under the Listing Rules. As some of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceed 25% but below 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major and connected transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and the Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 and Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

– 10 –

GENERAL

Since the Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction for the Company and given the connection between Ms. Ma and Mr. Yeung, Mr. Yeung had abstained from voting on the relevant Board resolution in this aspect. Save for Mr. Yeung, none of the Directors have a material interest in the Acquisition and were required to abstain from voting on the relevant Board resolution in respect of the Acquisition.

An EGM will be convened and held for the Independent Shareholders to consider, and if thought fit, to approve, the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated under the SPA. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, each of (i) the Vendors; and (ii) the remaining ultimate beneficial owners of the Vendors (other than Ms. Ma) and their respective associates did not hold any Shares, or options or securities convertible or exchangeable into Shares as at the date of the SPA. Saved for Mr. Yeung, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, as no Shareholder has a material interest in the Acquisition, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting in respect of the ordinary resolution at the EGM to approve the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated under the SPA.

The Independent Board Committee comprising all independent non-executive Directors has been established to make recommendations to the Independent Shareholders regarding the SPA and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Pan Asia Corporate Finance Limited has been appointed by the Company as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in the same regard.

The Circular containing, among other things, (i) further information of the Acquisition; (ii) accountants’ report of the Target Company; (iii) pro forma financial information on the Enlarged Group; (iv) valuation report on the Property; (v) a letter from the Independent Board Committee in respect of the Acquisition; (vi) a letter of advice from Pan Asia Corporate Finance Limited, the independent financial adviser appointed by the Company to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders regarding the Acquisition; and (vii) notice of the EGM, will be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 30 April 2015 so as to allow sufficient time for the preparation of the relevant information for inclusion in the Circular.
