Major terms of the LOI

Under the LOI, the parties have agreed to enter into arm’s length negotiations to agree on the Formal Agreement in respect of the Possible Acquisition to be signed as soon as practicable, and in any event within 3 months from the date of the LOI or such other date as the parties may agree.

Following the entering into of the LOI, INVEST FORTUNE LTD will be allowed, within a period of 3 months immediately thereafter (the “Exclusivity Period”), to carry out a preliminary legal and financial due diligence review on the SYSTEK Group on an exclusive basis, meaning that the Vendor will not and will procure SYSTEK or its management will not initiate, continue or hold discussions with any third party other than INVEST FORTUNE LTD in respect of any issue of new shares by SYSTEK, or any sale of the existing shares of SYSTEK by the Vendor, during the Exclusivity Period.

The terms of the LOI shall have no legally-binding effect on any of the parties thereto, save for the Exclusivity Period granted to INVEST FORTUNE LTD and the fact that the parties to the LOI shall keep matters regarding the LOI confidential unless disclosure thereof is required by the regulatory authority or by any applicable laws and regulations, or is made with the consent of the other party.

Consideration

The consideration for the Possible Acquisition has yet to be agreed between the parties and is subject to the result of the legal and financial due diligence review on the SYSTEK Group to be conducted by INVEST FORTUNE LTD or its professional advisers.

Information on the SYSTEK Group

The SYSTEK Group is principally engaged in the provision of information technology solutions to customers in the PRC including the provision of software and implementation and after-sales services. Subject to its successful acquisition of other information technology solutions provider(s), the SYSTEK Group intends to extend its products and services to leading operators of online and mobile electronic payment gateway business in the PRC.

Reasons for entering into the LOI

The Group has been looking for suitable investment opportunities in order to broaden its income source and maximise the return of the Shareholders. Subject to the due diligence review to be conducted by INVEST FORTUNE LTD or its professional advisers on the SYSTEK Group, it is expected that the Possible Acquisition will be an attractive investment opportunity for the Group to widen the scope of its products and services and to strengthen its business in the PRC market.

General

The Directors wish to emphasise that the Possible Acquisition contemplated under the LOI may or may not proceed. If the Possible Acquisition is materialised, it may constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company under the GEM Listing Rules.
