VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms defined in this announcement shall have the same meanings ascribed to them as stated in the Q3 Report and the Circular.

In addition, according to the terms of the Score Value Agreement, if the Game Approval Pre-condition is not granted by the relevant government authority of the PRC by the mutually agreed extended deadline of 31 December 2020, the Vendors are required to refund HK$50 million to the Purchaser or the Company (the “ Refund Amount ”) within 30 working days (i.e. excluding Saturday, Sundays or other PRC holidays) after 31 December 2020 (i.e. by 19 February 2021), and the Purchaser or the Company shall no longer be required to pay to the Vendors the Deferred Consideration.

As of the date of this announcement, the Game Approval Pre-condition has not yet been fulfilled and the Company has decided not to further extend the deadline for fulfilling the Game Approval Pre-condition.
In view of the foregoing, as the Vendors are required to refund the Refund Amount and are no longer entitled to receive the Deferred Consideration, the Company has retained its legal adviser to issue a letter on 6 January 2021 to the Vendors to request for the Refund Amount and the Vendors are requested to reply the Company within seven days of the letter. The Company’s legal adviser will also provide the Company with legal advice regarding the necessary actions to recover the Refund Amount and to assist it with its deliberations in connection with the claim for the Refund Amount. The Directors shall take all necessary actions to safeguard the interest of its Shareholders and the Company as a whole.
With respect to the Deferred Consideration, the contingent consideration payable, being HK$69,589,000 as at 31 December 2019, will be reversed to profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2020 and the equity portion of contingent considerations, being HK$30,405,000 as at 31 December 2019, will be re-classified into accumulated losses as at 31 December 2020. The management of the Company will assess the fair value of receivable of Refund Amount at initial recognition based on the Vendors’ creditworthiness or financial performance as at 31 December 2020.
Further announcement will be made by the Company to keep the Shareholders and potential investors informed of the developments of the above as and when appropriate.
