LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As at the date of this announcement, NWD together with its subsidiaries hold approximately 60.86% of the total issued share capital of NWS. The Purchaser is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of NWS, and in turn an indirect non-wholly-owned subsidiary of NWD.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisitions (taking into account the Total Consideration and the Guarantee) are more than 5% but less than 25% for each of NWD and NWS, the Acquisitions constitute a discloseable transaction for each of NWD and NWS and are therefore subject to the notification and announcement requirements, but are exempt from the circular and shareholders’ approval requirements, under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
As the completion of the Acquisitions is subject to the satisfaction or waiver (as applicable) of certain conditions precedent stated in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Acquisitions may or may not proceed. Accordingly, shareholders of NWD and NWS and potential investors should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of each of NWD and NWS.
