The Offeror and the Company wish to inform the Shareholders and the Optionholders that, based on the updated financial results of the Target for the year ended 31 December 2020 available in the course of audit process and due to the provision of the PRC corporate income tax payable of its certain non-invoiced service income, in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants, the selected financial information of the Target for the year ended 31 December 2020 has been updated (the “ Updated Selected Financial Information ”) which differs from that as disclosed under the paragraph headed “MAJOR TRANSACTION RELATING TO THE ACQUISITION OF THE REMAINING 49% EQUITY INTEREST OF THE TARGET – Information about the parties to the Acquisition – The Target” on page 19 of both the English and Chinese versions of the Joint Announcement, and is set out as follows:
