DEALINGS DISCLOSURE
The respective associates of the Offeror and the Company are reminded to disclose their dealings in the securities of the Company in accordance with Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code.
Stockbrokers, banks and others who deal in relevant securities on behalf of clients have a general duty to ensure, so far as they are able, that those clients are aware of the disclosure obligations attaching to associates and other persons under Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code and that those clients are willing to comply with them. Principal traders and dealers who deal directly with investors should, in appropriate cases, likewise draw attention to the relevant rules of the Takeovers Code. However, this does not apply when the total value of dealings (excluding stamp duty and commission) in any relevant security undertaken for a client during any 7 day period is less than HK$1 million.
This does not alter the obligation of the principals, associates and other persons themselves to initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever total value is involved.
