Reason for entering into the Second Supplemental Agreement
The Amended Milestones was advised by the Architect with the aim to improve the effectiveness of the construction plan for the Building Project. According to the Architect, the Amended Milestones has the following advantage:
-
to have better quality and finishing to the architectural finishes as it follows the sequence from the top to bottom. The Original Milestones starts from the ground floor to upper floors and the ground floor is too congested to start any architectural finishing works; and
-
the Vendor has to ensure the reinforced concrete structure works from the ground floor up to the roof be finished before starting the ID works at the lower floors. Hence, the building will be better finishing, more water tight and less expose to the rain and waterponding issue.
There is no change in the Consideration. The Amended Milestones is just resequencing the building works of the Building Project. The Directors consider that the entering into the Second Supplemental Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Building Project.
Save as disclosed above, there is no material change to the other terms of the Acquisition Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement and all terms and conditions of the Acquisition Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement remain unchanged and in full force and effect.
