The Target Group is the legal and beneficial owner of a landed property situated at the 9th Floor, Global Trade Square, No. 21 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Hong Kong, together with 3 car parking spaces at Global Trade Square (together the “ Property ”).
The Consideration shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor in cash and will be funded by the Loan, details of which are provided under the section headed “ Loan Agreement ” below.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE GEM LISTING RULES
As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) of the Acquisition exceeds 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition of the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.
An EGM will be held to consider and, if thought fit, pass ordinary resolutions to approve the Acquisition, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
1
To the best of the knowledge of the Directors, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Acquisition and the Sale and Purchase Agreement and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the EGM in respect of ordinary resolutions for approving the Acquisition, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
A circular (“ Circular ”) containing, inter alia , (i) further details of the Acquisition, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Loan Agreement; (ii) a valuation report on the Property issued by the Independent Property Valuer; (iii) other information as required under the GEM Listing Rules; and (iv) a notice convening the EGM, will be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 29 August 2016.
As the closing of the Acquisition is subject to the fulfillment or waiver (as the case may be) of the Conditions Precedent as set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Acquisition and the transactions contemplated hereunder may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors should exercise extreme caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

Given that the interest rate of the Loan Agreement is 12% per annum, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Loan Agreement are more favorable than those offered to the Company by other financial institutions in Hong Kong and therefore the entering into of the Loan Agreement is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

INFORMATION OF THE PURCHASER
The principal business activity of the Company is investment holding.
INFORMATION OF THE VENDOR
The Vendor is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands whose registered office is situated at Coastal Building, Wickham’s Cay II, P.O. Box 2221, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands and is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Imagi International Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in Bermuda whose shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange with stock code 585. The Vendor is principally engaged in investment activities.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
The Property is located at Wong Chuk Hang Road in Hong Kong. The location is easily accessible by the South Island Line (East) of MTR, which is expected to commence service by late 2016. The Company believes that there will be increasing demand for office space in the area where the Property is located which is driven by the establishment of the South Island Line (East). The Directors therefore believe that the Property will benefit from potential value appreciation and surging demand for high-grade office buildings in the area. In light of the above, the Board is of the view that the Property is a sound investment opportunity for the Company and will become an important asset in its property portfolio following Completion.
Having closely monitored the market environment and assessed the benefits of the Acquisition as discussed above, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the Company to enter into the Acquisition. The available facility from the Loan Agreement also allows the Company to execute the Acquisition on favourable financing terms and is therefore beneficial to Shareholders as a whole.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) of the Acquisition exceeds 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition of the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.
EGM AND CIRCULAR
An EGM will be held to consider and, if thought fit, pass ordinary resolutions to approve the Acquisition, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
6
To the best of the knowledge of the Directors, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Acquisition and the Sale and Purchase Agreement and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the EGM in respect of the ordinary resolutions for approving the Acquisition, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
A Circular containing, inter alia , (i) further details of the Acquisition, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Loan Agreement; (ii) a valuation report on the Property issued by the Independent Property Valuer; (iii) other information as required under the GEM Listing Rules; and (iv) a notice convening the EGM, will be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 29 August 2016.
