REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE JV FORMATION
Master Plan to Develop into the E-commerce Business
To combat against the negative impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on the Group’s financial performance since 2020, the Group began to deploy resources in the E-commerce Business in the PRC. Since then, the Group has been gently growing the E-commerce Business through continuous expansion of the operation team as well as through mergers and acquisition of certain E-commerce related functions. With a view to continue the expansion in the E-commerce Business, the Group is carefully identifying growing opportunities in 4 major aspects in the E-commerce Business, namely (1) partner development, (2) channel development, (3) user operations, and (4) digital marketing.
9
JV Formation
The WFOE upon incorporation will commence the provision of e-commerce operation services over different e-commerce platforms, including but not limited storefront opening, shop operating, sales and marketing, to brand clients. The revenue of the WFOE will be derived from two streams, namely (1) commission method and (2) distribution method, depending on the contract terms with the brand partners. Under the commission method, the WFOE will receive a fixed percentage out of the turnover of each transaction through the e-commerce stores operated by the WFOE. Under the distribution method, the WFOE will purchase inventories from the brand partners and make sales through the e-commerce stores operated by the WFOE.
Echoing with the latest development status of the operation team building of the E-commerce Business as mentioned in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 30 June 2021, our team currently covers supply chain services, digital marketing, e-commerce operations and live broadcast operations through mergers and acquisitions and self-building. The JV Formation will bring Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yuan and their team on board, which will further strengthen the team in channel development of the E-commerce Business to bring the products of the premium brands to the Chinese consumers. This will sharpen the competitive edge of the Group in the e-commerce industry.
Put Option
The Put Option was negotiated to be in place such that in any event the JV Group cannot deliver and make losses, the Group can exercise the Put Option to recover the actual amount invested into the JV Group by the Group by equity or loans.
Step-up Acquisitions
The current structure of the JV Co prior to the Step-up Acquisitions only exposes Best Mark, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yuan to the risks and rewards directly from the operations of the JV Group. Guo Du’s acquisition of the shares of the JV Co held by Best Mark when it performs well will (1) better align the interest of Best Mark, as well as Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yuan, with that of the Company and Shareholders as a whole; (2) better integrate the team formed and led by Best Mark in the WFOE level with the current operation team of the E-commerce Business in the Group; and (3) allow assessments by the Group before making further investment into the JV Co.
In light of the above, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the JV Agreement are fair and reasonable and entering into the JV Agreement is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
