SUPPLEMENTAL MOU
This announcement is made by Kenford Group Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”, together with its subsidiaries, the “ Group ”) pursuant to Rule 3.7 of The Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “ Takeovers Code ”) and Rule 13.09 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “ Listing Rules ”) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Stock Exchange ”) and the Inside Information Provision (as defined under the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 28 April 2017, 2 May 2017, 26 May 2017 and 26 June 2017 (the “ Announcements ”), respectively, in respect of the Possible Transaction. Unless the context requires otherwise, terms used herein shall have the same meanings as defined in the Announcements.
The Board has been informed by the Selling Shareholders that the negotiations between the Selling Shareholders and the Potential Purchaser in respect of the Possible Transaction are still on-going and that on 28 June 2017, the Selling Shareholders and the Potential Purchaser entered into a supplemental memorandum of understanding (“ Supplemental MOU ”) and a supplemental escrow agreement (“ Supplemental Escrow Agreement ”). Pursuant to the Supplemental MOU and the
Supplemental Escrow Agreement, the Agreed Period was extended to 12 July 2017 during which period each of the Selling Shareholders shall not engage in any discussion, negotiation, or enter into any letter of intent or agreement, with any third parties other than the Potential Purchaser in respect of the Possible Transaction, and the escrow period for the deposit was extended accordingly. As at the date of this announcement, no formal or legally binding agreement has been entered into between the Selling Shareholders and the Potential Purchaser in respect of the Possible Transaction.
In compliance with Rule 3.7 of the Takeovers Code, monthly announcement(s) setting out the progress of the Possible Transaction, including but not limited to the negotiation and signing of the Formal Agreement, will be made until announcement of (i) firm intention to make an offer under Rule 3.5 of the Takeovers Code or (ii) a decision not to proceed with an offer is made. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company as and when appropriate or required in accordance with the Listing Rules and/or the Takeovers Code (as the case may be).
WARNING: There is no assurance that the Possible Transaction will materialise or eventually be consummated and the relevant discussions may or may not lead to a general offer under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code. The Possible Transaction, therefore, may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional adviser(s).
