REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
The Group is principally engaged in system development, professional services, money lending business and proprietary trading business.
As stated in the latest published annual report of the Company, it is the Group’s strategy to broaden its perspective beyond IT sector and potentially also invest into and/or make acquisition in other industries (including traditional non IT business) so long as such investments can bring value and are beneficial to the Company and its shareholder as a whole. Upon completion of the Acquisition, printing services will become one of the principal businesses of the Company.
3
The Directors are of the view that (i) the demand for printing services for advertisement in Hong Kong has been gradually rising; (ii) the printing companies with retail channels (refers to printing companies which have internet retailing, including email in order to receive and deliver orders) represent a small but a fast growing segment in the printing industry in Hong Kong; (iii) with the ownership and leadership of the listed company, the Target Company could have more resources and expertise to explore a higher margin overseas market (the Target Company is currently exploring business opportunities in Australia and New Zealand) and (iv) the Target Company would contribute to the growth of the business performance of the Group and hence improve the return to the Company and its shareholders.
In view of the above, the Directors believe the Acquisition is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. In addition, the Directors consider that the terms of the Acquisition Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As one or more of the relevant applicable percentage ratios calculated in accordance with the GEM Listing Rules is greater than 5% but less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but is exempted from shareholders’ approval requirement under the GEM Listing Rules.
