2. THE ACQUISITION
On 13 July 2018, the Company has entered into the Agreement with GCP to acquire the Sale Shares in Mayor, representing 2.0% of the total issued share capital of Mayor. As at the date of this circular, Mayor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GCP.
Immediately after the completion of the Acquisition, GCP will hold 9,800 ordinary shares in the capital of Mayor, and the Company will hold 200 ordinary shares in the capital of Mayor.
The following diagram shows the shareholding structure of Mayor immediately before and after the completion of the Acquisition:

GCP GCP The Company

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, GCP and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules).
There is no restriction on the subsequent sale of the Sale Shares.
2.1 Consideration
The consideration for the Acquisition of the Sale Shares comprises:
-
(a) the sum of US$1,000,000 (the ‘‘Cash Consideration’’), which shall be paid by way of cash upon completion of the Acquisition (the ‘‘Completion’’); and
-
(b) issue of share options (the ‘‘Consideration Share Options’’), which entitle GCP to subscribe for up to a maximum of 4,349,000 shares in the Company (the ‘‘Option Shares’’) at the exercise price of HK$5.53 per Share during a three-year period from the date of Completion (the ‘‘Option Period’’).
The Cash Consideration will be financed by the internal resources of the Company.
The Consideration Share Options shall not be transferrable. There is no restriction on the subsequent sale of the Option Shares.
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The parties have considered, among others, the following factors in the determination of the Consideration:
-
(a) the net assets value of Mayor as at 30 June 2018 is US$58.2 million (equivalent to approximately HK$453.96 million). The Sale Shares represents 2% of the total issued share capital of Mayor. Therefore, the value of the Sale Shares as reflected by the net assets value of Mayor is approximately US$1.16 million (equivalent to approximately HK$9.05 million);
-
(b) the Cash Consideration represents approximately 86% of the value of the Sale Shares; and
-
(c) during the negotiations between the Company and GCP, GCP considered that the prospect of the Group was promising. The Consideration Share Option entitles GCP to subscribe for up to a maximum of 4,349,000 Shares at the exercise price and receive a potential gain if the share price increases.
The Company has considered other settlement alternatives, including issue of consideration shares or additional cash payment. The parties eventually preferred issue of Consideration Share Options (i) because the issue of the consideration shares may reduce the amount of the Cash Consideration and (ii) given the volatility of the price of the Shares at the material time. Moreover, GCP was confident of the prospect of the Group and was willing to accept issue of Consideration Share Options which would give GCP flexibility to commit more investment in the Group instead of issue of consideration shares as part of the consideration of the sale of the Sale Shares.
2.2 Conditions precedent
Completion shall be subject to, inter alia, the following conditions precedent:
-
(a) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange having granted the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Option Shares;
-
(b) the Company having obtained the approval of its shareholders for the issue and allotment of the Consideration Share Options and the Option Shares; and
-
(c) the Company having obtained all necessary approvals and consents from any government or regulatory authority, where required.
Completion shall take place on the 10th business day after the fulfilment or waiver of all the conditions precedent.
It is expected that Completion shall take place on or before 31 December 2018.
