MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING IN RELATION TO A PROPOSED ACQUISITION
This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 17.10 of the GEM Listing Rules.
On 4 July 2012 after trading hours, the Company entered into the MOU with the Vendor in relation to the Proposed Acquisition. The Target is principally engaged in selling air tickets and travel products online. The Vendor is in the course of restructuring the Target (“Restructuring”) after which the Target will be indirectly beneficially owned as to 90% by the Vendor through the BVI Holding Co.
To the best of the Directors’ information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, the Vendor is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons.
The MOU does not create legally binding obligations on the parties in relation to the Proposed Acquisition but is legally binding as to such terms relating to exclusive period and confidentiality. The Proposed Acquisition is subject to the negotiation and execution of a formal sale and purchase agreement between the parties. The consideration for the Proposed Acquisition will be determined by reference to a valuation report of the Target by an independent valuer.
Under the MOU, the Vendor has agreed not to enter into any binding commitment or any negotiation, arrangement or agreement on the disposal of the equity interest in the BVI Holding Co. for a period of three months from the date of the MOU.
The MOU shall remain in effect for three months from the date of the MOU or such longer period as the parties may agree. The parties shall enter into the formal agreement for the Proposed Acquisition as soon as practicable after completion of the Restructuring.
As the MOU is not legally binding with regard to the Proposed Acquisition, it may or may not proceed. Shareholders and investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares of the Company.
