Pursuant to the Placing Agreement, the Placing Agent shall use reasonable endeavours to ensure that (i) the Placees and their ultimate beneficial owners shall be third parties independent of and not connected nor acting in concert (as defined in the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the “ Takeovers Code ”)) with the Company or any of its connected persons (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules); and (ii) none of the Placees will, immediately upon completion of the Placing, hold 30% or more of the total issued share capital of the Company or otherwise trigger a mandatory general offer under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code in respect of the shares of the Company (the “ Shares ”).
