As at the date of this announcement, to the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Contractor is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules).

Due diligence

The Company shall be entitled to conduct due diligence on the financial and legal position of the Contractor within a period of 21 days from the date of the MOU for considering the feasibility of the Project. Upon satisfaction of the result of the due diligence by the Company, the parties shall negotiate the timetable and details of the Project.

Exclusivity

Pursuant to the terms of the MOU, during the period of 21 days from the date of the MOU (or any other date as agreed by the parties), the Contractor shall not discuss or negotiate with any other third party in connection with the Project, nor enter into any agreement or other memorandum of understanding.

Reasons and benefits of the Project

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The Group’s principal activities are the provision of concrete demolition services in Hong Kong as a subcontractor. The Group’s concrete demolition services are mainly concerned with the removal of pieces or sections of concrete from concrete structures by applying a variety of methods, such as core drilling, sawing, bursting and crushing, etc. The Board has been actively taking steps to identify new business opportunities in the PRC in order to broaden the revenue base of the Group. The Board considers that the entering into of the Project can serve such purpose by diversifying the geographical segment of the Group’s mainstream business.

As the parties have not entered into the final definitive agreements in relation to the Proejct contemplated under the MOU, and the final structure and terms of the Project are still subject to due diligence and further negotiation among the parties, the Project may or may not materialize and the final structure and terms may deviate from those set out in the MOU. Accordingly, shareholders of the Company and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares or other securities of the Company.
