The Board is pleased to announce that on 4 November 2015, the Purchaser (a whollyowned subsidiary of the Company) entered into a non-legally binding Memorandum of Understanding with the Vendor, pursuant to which the Vendor proposed to sell 51% equity interest in Sichuan Gofortune Supply Chain Management Joint Stock Company Limited* (the Target Company) to the Purchaser for a total cash consideration of not exceeding HK$1,680,000.

The Target Company, Sichuan Gofortune Supply Chain Management Joint Stock Company Limited* (四川廣豐源供應鍵管理股份有限公司), is a joint stock limited liability company established in the PRC on 12 August 2015. According to the information provided by the Vendor, (a) the Target Company was newly established by the Vendor and his management team with the view to principally engaging in the supply chain management and e-commerce of Chinese white wine; (b) the unaudited net assets of the Target Company as of 31 October 2015 amounted to approximately RMB2,666,000 (HK$3,300,000); and (c) the equity interest of the Target Company is owned as to 76% by the Vendor and 24% by four senior management of the Target Company.

According to the information provided by the Vendor, the Vendor has extensive network and experience in supply chain management and logistics, and the management team of the Target Company is experienced in the setting up of e-commerce platforms. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after making all reasonable enquiries, the Target Company and its ultimate beneficial owners (including the Vendor) are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.

The terms of the Proposed Acquisition are subject to further negotiation and the signing of a formal sale and purchase agreement within 60 days after the date of the Memorandum of Understanding (or such longer period as extended by mutual agreement between the parties) (the “ Exclusivity Period ”). The Vendor has agreed not to negotiate with any other potential buyers in relation to the subject matter of the Memorandum of Understanding during the Exclusivity Period. Save and except the clauses regarding exclusivity, due diligence, costs and expenses, and governing law and jurisdiction which are legally binding, all other provisions in the Memorandum of Understanding are non-legally binding. If the Memorandum of Understanding proceeds to signing of a formal sale and purchase agreement, it is currently expected that completion of the formal sale and purchase agreement will be conditional upon, amongst other things, due diligence review on the Target Company having been completed to the satisfaction of the Company.

The Company is an investment holding company whose subsidiaries are principally engaged in mining exploration and sale of marble and marble related products. If the Proposed Acquisition proceeds to completion, the Company currently intends to leverage on the network and expertise of the Vendor and the management team of the Target Company with the view to developing the supply chain management systems and e-commerce platforms for the trading of marble related products by the Group. Regarding the original business plan of the Target Company to engage in the supply chain management and e-commerce of Chinese white wine, the Company will conduct further market research and feasibility study with the management team of the Target Company to explore if it presents any business opportunity for the Group to diversify into this business.

As disclosed in the Prospectus, the Company intends to apply approximately HK$5.2 million out of the net proceeds from the Global Offering to fund the development of the Company’s sales channels and marketing in line with the Company’s strategy to develop its product recognition. The Company considers that the Proposed Acquisition and the development of the supply chain management systems and e-commerce platforms for marble-related products are consistent with the Company’s development plan on its sales and marketing channels and product recognition. The Company is satisfied that the Proposed Acquisition will not result in any change in the use of the proceeds of the Global Offering or any deviation from any forecast, estimate or other information disclosed in the Prospectus.

The applicable percentage ratios in relation to the Proposed Acquisition are expected to be less than 5%. The Proposed Acquisition is not expected to constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Shares should note that the Proposed Acquisition may or may not materialize. Shareholders and investors should exercise caution in dealing with the securities of the Company.
