This announcement is made by the Company pursuant to Rule 13.09(2)(a) of the Listing Rules and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

LETTER OF INTENT

The Board is pleased to announce that on 30 August 2019, Linyi Juantai, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a non-legally binding LOI with the Target Company in relation to the Possible Capital Injection. The principal terms of the LOI are set out as follows:

Date: 30 August 2019 Parties: (i) Linyi Juantai; and

(ii) The Target Company

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Target Company is an independent third party of the Company and its connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules).

Possible Capital Injection

The amount of the Possible Capital Injection shall be RMB30,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$32,897,700), which represents 1% of the registered capital of the Target Company, and the manner of payment shall be further negotiated between Linyi Juantai and the Target Company and be determined in the Formal Agreement.

Due Diligence Review

Linyi Juantai shall conduct the due diligence review in respect of the Possible Capital Injection upon signing of the LOI. The Target Company shall use its best endeavours to procure that the Target Company provides such assistance and information as is necessary for Linyi Juantai to complete its due diligence review on the Target Company in a period of four months commencing from the date of the LOI (or a longer period which may be agreed between Linyi Juantai and the Target Company).

Formal Agreement

Subject to the satisfaction of Linyi Juantai with the due diligence review, Linyi Juantai and the Target Company agree to proceed to negotiate and with the view to finalise detailed terms and conditions of the Formal Agreement and to execute the Formal Agreement.

Save for the provisions on due diligence review, confidentiality, governing law and dispute resolution and counterparts, the LOI does not constitute a legally-binding commitment between Linyi Juantai and the Target Company.

Termination of the LOI

The LOI shall be terminated on the earlier of the date on which the Formal Agreement is executed or the expiry of the period performing due diligence review. Linyi Juantai and the Target Company shall have no liability whatsoever against each other arising out of or in respect of the entering into the LOI.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE POSSIBLE CAPITAL INJECTION

The Group is principally engaged in (i) manufacture and sale of medical devices products; (ii) manufacture and sale of plastic moulding products; (iii) provision of construction services in building construction, building maintenance and improvement works, project management, renovation and decoration works; (iv) provision of money lending; and (v) investment in securities.

While the Company devotes most of its efforts on developing its existing businesses, the Directors consider that it is beneficial for the Group to seek investment opportunities from time to time to develop its existing business portfolio and engage in a new line of business with growth potential and broaden its source of income. The Directors are of the view that the Possible Capital Injection, if materialised, is a prime opportunity for the Company to diversify the income stream of the Group and also be able to further develop the existing segment of manufacture and sale of plastic moulding products by manufacturing automotive replacement parts which is in the interests of the Company and shareholders of the Company as a whole.

GENERAL

If the Possible Capital Injection materialises, it may constitute a notifiable transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in accordance with all applicable requirements of the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

As the LOI is not legally binding, the Possible Capital Injection may or may not proceed. Shareholders of the Company and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
