DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION FURTHER DISPOSAL OF LISTED SECURITIES

THE SECOND DISPOSAL

On 28 May 2021, the Seller, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, disposed on the open market a total of 1,500,000 Skyfame Realty Shares (representing approximately 0.019% of the issued share capital of Skyfame Realty as at the date of this announcement) at an aggregate consideration of HK$1,455,000 (exclusive of transaction costs). The average selling price (exclusive of transaction costs) for the Second Disposal of each Skyfame Realty Share is HK$0.97. Upon settlement of the Second Disposal, the Group will hold 2,590,000 Skyfame Realty Shares.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

Since the Second Disposal was conducted within 12 months of the completion of the First Disposal, the First Disposal and the Second Disposal were required to be aggregated as a series of transactions pursuant to Rule 19.22 of the GEM Listing Rules. As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated pursuant to Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules in respect of the First Disposal and the Second Disposal (in aggregate) exceeds 5% but less than 25%, the First Disposal and the Second Disposal (in aggregate) constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but is exempt from the circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements, under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 25 May 2021 in relation to the disposal of a total of 3,000,000 Skyfame Realty Shares by the Seller, an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the Company on open market on 24 May 2021.

REASONS FOR THE SECOND DISPOSAL

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of IT infrastructure solutions and maintenance services, money lending and securities trading.

The Seller is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. It is incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and is principally engaged in securities trading.

The Group is expected to receive the proceeds of HK$1,455,000 (excluding transaction costs) and recognise a loss of HK$625,000 which is calculated on the basis of the difference between the acquisition cost and the disposal price (excluding transaction costs).

As the Group has held the Skyfame Shares since 2018 and given the change of market condition and macro-economy especially after the outbreak of COVID-19, the Company believes that it is beneficial to take this opportunity to dispose the Skyfame Realty Shares to liquidate the investment and adjusting the composition of the investment portfolio of the Group according to the market changes.

As the Second Disposal was conducted at market price of Skyfame Realty Shares at the time of the Second Disposal, the Directors are of the view that the Second Disposal was fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

Since the Second Disposal was conducted within 12 months of the completion of the First Disposal, the First Disposal and the Second Disposal were required to be aggregated as a series of transactions pursuant to Rule 19.22 of the GEM Listing Rules. As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated pursuant to Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules in respect of the First Disposal and the Second Disposal (in aggregate) exceeds 5% but less than 25%, the First Disposal and the Second Disposal (in aggregate) constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but is exempt from the circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements, under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.
