Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the shares or any other securities of the Company.

Basis for determining the Total Consideration

The terms of the Disposal, including the Total Consideration thereof, were determined after arm’s length negotiation between CMTI and the Purchaser, having regard to the net asset value of HCMDIT and the amount of the outstanding unpaid registered capital of HCMDIT.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

Given that HCMDIT has not yet started operations nor generated revenue and profits for the financial years ended 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018, the Board believes that the Group can better utilise its resources by investing the proceeds generated from the Disposal in the Group’s existing projects which may provide better return for its shareholders.

Therefore, the Board is of the view that, in respect of the Disposal:

  • (i) the terms and conditions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable; and

  • (ii) the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interest of the Company and the shareholders of the Company as a whole.

INFORMATION OF HCMDIT

HCMDIT was incorporated in the PRC and is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As of the date of this announcement, HCMDIT has ot yet started operation. Its not principal business operation is intended to be construction industrialisation.

(RMB) (RMB)
Net loss before taxation (312,333) (1,108,606)
