INFORMATION ABOUT THE GROUP, THE VENDOR AND THE PURCHASER
The Group
The Group was principally engaged in computer and peripheral products business and financial services business.
The Vendor
The Vendor is a property holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Purchaser
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, (i) the Purchaser is a property holding company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability; and (ii) the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) are Independent Third Parties.
REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE DISPOSAL
The Group is principally engaged in the computer and peripheral products business and financial services business. Having considered the current market value of the Property (with reference to the market value of similar properties within the same area) and the current property market conditions in Hong Kong, the Board considers that the Disposal, if it materializes, presents a good opportunity for the Group to unlock the value of the Properties and enhance the working capital position by disposing non-core assets of the Group. The Disposal will not have material effect on the business and operation of the Group.
The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Provisional Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the shareholders of the Company as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL
As a result of the Disposal, the Directors expect that the Group will record an unaudited gain on the Disposal of approximately HK$40.8 million (before taxation), being the difference between the net consideration from the Disposal (after deducting the related transaction costs) and the net book value of the Properties of approximately HK$37.1 million as at 31 March 2021. Such calculation is only an estimate provided for illustrative purposes and the accounting treatment of the Disposal will be subject to further review by the auditors of the Company.
USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE DISPOSAL
It is estimated that the net proceeds from the Disposal would be approximately HK$77.9 million (after deducting the related transaction costs) and the Company intends to use the net proceeds for repayment of bank borrowings and as the general working capital of the Group.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal exceed 5% but are less than 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
