DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTIONS REDEMPTION OF FUNDS

REDEMPTIONS

The Board is pleased to announce that on 30 September 2022, (i) Golden Hero, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has served a request for redemption of 11.924875 class B shares in Fund I at an estimated aggregate redemption proceeds of approximately US$8.2 million; and (ii) Aqua Trend, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has served a request for redemption of 4,092.951430 series A – series 1 shares in Fund II at an estimated aggregate redemption proceeds of approximately US$5.4 million.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As one of the applicable percentage ratios under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules in respect of each of Redemptions is more than 5% but all applicable percentage ratios are less than 25%, each of Redemptions constitutes a discloseable transaction on the part of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

REDEMPTION I

On 30 September 2022, Golden Hero has served a request for redemption to the Investment Adviser (Fund I), pursuant to which Golden Hero requested for the redemption of 11.924875 class B shares in Fund I in accordance with the terms of the PPM. The redemption price shall be determined based on the net assets value of the class B shares in Fund I on the Redemption Date. Fund I will endeavor to pay redemption proceeds according to the following schedule: (i) 90% within 15 days after the Redemption Date; and (ii) the balance no later than 30 days after the Redemption Date.

After completion of Redemption I, Golden Hero ceases to hold any shares in Fund I.

Financial Effects of Redemption I

Golden Hero subscribed for the class B shares at the investment costs of US$8 million. Based on the net assets value per class B share as at 31 August 2022 provided by the Sub-administrator (Fund I), which is US$689,399.95, the estimated amount of total proceeds from Redemption I will be approximately US$8.2 million. It is expected that the Group would record a gain of approximately US$0.2 million from the redemption, being the difference between the estimated amount of proceeds of the redemption and the investment costs of the class B shares in Fund I being redeemed, subject to the actual net assets value of the class B shares as at the Redemption Date and auditors’ review.

REDEMPTION II

On 30 September 2022, Aqua Trend has served a request for redemption to the Administrator (Fund II) and the Investment Manager (Fund II), pursuant to which Aqua Trend requested for the redemption of 4,092.951430 series A – series 1 shares in Fund II in accordance with the terms of the COM. The redemption price shall be determined based on the net assets value of series A – series 1 shares in Fund II on the Redemption Date. An amount equal to (i) at least 95% of the value of such redemption will be paid to Aqua Trend within 30 calendar days after the Redemption Date, and (ii) the unpaid balance will be paid upon completion of the audit of Fund II.

After completion of Redemption II, Aqua Trend ceases to hold any shares in Fund II.

Financial Effects of Redemption II

Aqua Trend subscribed for the series A – series 1 shares at the investment costs of US$5 million. Based on the net assets value per series A – series 1 share as at 31 August 2022 provided by the Administrator (Fund II), which is US$1,315.391988, the estimated amount of total proceeds from Redemption II will be approximately US$5.4 million. It is expected that the Group would record a gain of approximately US$0.4 million from the redemption, being the difference between the estimated amount of proceeds of the redemption and the investment costs of the series A – series 1 shares in Fund II being redeemed, subject to the actual net assets value of the series A – series 1 shares as at the Redemption Date and auditors’ review.
