DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION PROVISION OF LOAN FACILITY TO AN INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY

The Board is pleased to announce that on 14 December 2017 (after trading hours), the Lender, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Loan Agreement with the Borrower, pursuant to which the Lender agreed to provide to the Borrower a loan facility of HK$45,000,000 for a term of 12 months.

As the applicable ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Loan Facility (alone and excluding the Existing Loan Facility) granted to the Borrower under the Loan Agreement was below 5%, the Loan Facility granted under the Loan Agreement is not subject to disclosure requirement for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. However, as the Borrower is the same as that under the Existing Loan Agreement, the grant of the Loan Facilities have been aggregated under Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules. Given the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Loan Facilities granted to the Borrower under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules is more than 5% but less than 25%, the grant of the Loan Facilities in aggregate, 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.
