As at the date of this announcement, one share in the share capital of the Target Company has been issued and fully paid up and such share is held by the Vendor (representing 100% of the issued share capital of the Target Company as at the date of the Agreement).

Upon Completion, the Target Company will be beneficially owned as to 85% by the Purchaser and 15% by the Vendor.

Consideration

The Consideration in the amount of HK$46,070,000 shall be satisfied by the issue and allotment of the Consideration Shares at HK$2, being the Issue Price per Consideration Share, by the Company to the Vendor upon Completion.

The Consideration was arrived based on normal commercial terms after arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser, the Company and the Vendor and was determined with reference to the following factors:

  • (i) the business development and future prospects of the Target Group;

  • (ii) the Guaranteed Profit (as defined below); and

  • (iii) the reasons and benefits of the Acquisition as stated under the section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition” below.

  • (v) the representations, warranties and undertakings set out in the Agreement and all other representations, undertakings and warranties provided by the Vendor under the Agreement remaining true, accurate and not misleading in any respect at Completion as if repeated at Completion and at all times between the date of the Agreement and Completion.

3

The Purchaser may waive conditions (ii) and (v) above at its discretion. If the conditions precedent have not been satisfied (or as the case may be, waived by the Purchaser) on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Long Stop Date, the Purchaser shall not be bound to proceed with the purchase of the Sale Shares and the Agreement (other than the survival clause(s)), become void and of no further effect and, save in respect of any antecedent breaches, all liabilities and obligations of the parties to the Agreement shall cease and determine provided that such termination shall be without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the parties thereto which shall have accrued prior to such termination.

Completion

Completion shall take place at 5:00 p.m. on the Completion Date after all the conditions of the Agreement have been fulfilled or waived or such date as the Vendor and the Purchaser may agree in writing.

Upon Completion, the Group will be interested in 85% of the issued share capital of the Target Company and the Target Group will be accounted for as indirect non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and accordingly, the financial information of the Target Group will be consolidated into the accounts of the Group.

PROFIT GUARANTEE AND COMPENSATION

The Vendor irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed to the Purchaser that the audited consolidated net profit after tax (but before extraordinary and exceptional items) of the Target Group for the 12 months from the Completion Date (both dates inclusive) (the “ Period ”) shall be no less than HK$4,000,000 (the “ Guaranteed Profit ”).

If the actual audited consolidated net profit after tax (but before extraordinary and exceptional items) of the Target Group for the Period (the “ Actual Profit ”) is less than the Guaranteed Profit, the Vendor shall compensate the Purchaser with an amount in cash in respect of the shortfall calculated according to the following formula (the “ Compensation Sum ”):

==> picture [309 x 24] intentionally omitted <==

where A is the Compensation Sum payable by the Vendor for the shortfall. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Actual Profit is negative, such amount shall be deemed to be zero. The maximum amount of the Compensation Sum payable by the Vendor shall not exceed the amount of the Consideration.

The Actual Profit shall be determined according to the audited consolidated financial statements of the Target Group for the Period (the “ Results ”) which shall be prepared by an auditor of the Target Group as nominated by the Purchaser adopting the same accounting policies applied to the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. Such Results shall be issued within 3 months after the Period or any other date as agreed by the Vendor and the Purchaser.

4

Within 7 Business Days after the issuance of the Results and the determination of the Actual Profit, if any Compensation Sum is required to be paid to the Purchaser, such Compensation Sum shall be settled by the Vendor in cash.

THE CONSIDERATION SHARES

The Consideration Shares will be allotted and issued at the Issue Price, credited as fully paid. The Consideration Shares, when allotted and issued, shall rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares including the right to all dividends, distributions and other payments made or to be made, on the record date which falls on or after the date of such allotment and issue.

The Issue Price represents:

  • (i) a discount of approximately 7.8% to the closing price per Share of HK$2.17 as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 29 May 2017, being the date of the Agreement;

  • (ii) a discount of approximately 3.0% to the average closing price per Share of HK$2.062 as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Agreement; and

  • (iii) a discount of approximately 3.3% to the average closing price per Share of HK$2.069 as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of the Agreement.

The Issue Price was arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Company, the Purchaser and the Vendor with reference to the prevailing market price of the Shares and the current market conditions. The Directors consider the Issue Price is fair and reasonable.

The Consideration Shares represent 19.32% of the number of issued Shares as at the date of this announcement and represent approximately 16.19% of the number of issued Shares as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares. The Consideration Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the General Mandate on the date of Completion. As at the date of this announcement, no Share has been issued and allotted under the General Mandate.

An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consideration Shares.
