DISCLOSABLE TRANSACTION PROVISION OF LOAN FACILITY TO AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY

The Board is pleased to announce that on 25 October 2016, the Lender, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Loan Agreement with the Borrower, pursuant to which the Lender agreed to provide to the Borrower, a loan facility in the principal amount of HK$210,000,000, bearing interest at a rate of 12% per annum for a period of 12 months.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the amount of financial assistance granted to the Borrower is more than 5% but less than 25%, the Loan Facility constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.
