Consideration:

The consideration payable for the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares is approximately HK$16,500,000, which shall be payable by the Purchaser by procuring the Company to issue an interest free promissory note to the Vendor on the Completion Date.

The Directors have enquired with an independent third party valuer regarding the adopted approach for the valuation of the Target Company and understood that the Market-Based Approach was adopted.

INFORMATION OF THE PURCHASER AND THE COMPANY

The Purchaser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is an investment holding company. The Company is principally engaged in the design, development and sales of board games, miniature war games and hobby products.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

Over the years, traditional board and other table top games have merged with digital ones providing digital convenience, offering online multiplayers, automated rules and apps that enhance physical play. The Company believes that in order to continue to be relevant in the games industry and to expand the Group's revenue stream, the Group would need to conduct digital transitioning and venture into video game development and Web3 projects. Digital transitioning would have the benefits of enhanced visual effects, have apps that handle scoring, timing etc, would enable a diversified number of players and are more accommodating to players not within the same vicinity. Added to this, entering into Web3 projects often emphasise social responsibility and ethical practices such as transparency and fairness on decision marking. By participating in Web3 projects, the Company can demonstrate its commitment to social responsibility and sustainability. However, the Group would continue to supplement this digital transformation as physical games would still offer a "screen break" for individuals as well as foster direct face to face interaction.

In line with this strategy, the Acquisition will enable the Company to transition its existing intellectual properties ("IPs"), including flagship titles such as Massive Darkness and Super Fantasy Brawl Reborn, into high-quality digital assets. This transition is expected to create a new revenue stream for the Group by leveraging its established fan base and expanding its presence in the digital gaming market. The Board believes that the integration of the Group's proprietary IPs with digital and Web3 technologies will enhance the long-term commercial value of the Group's portfolio.


LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition is more than 5% but less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
