  • 9 -

The Target Group is dedicated to delivering training programs to equip the customers with selling and communication skill. The Directors consider that the Acquisition will be beneficial to the Group to further expand the business scope and revenue stream of the Investment Education Business and is in line with the business development strategy of the Group. Upon Completion, the financial results of the Target Group will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. Since KargoStudio has recorded profits for the period ended 31 March 2020 and year ended 31 March 2021, the Directors believe that the Target Group will contribute positively to the financial performance of the Group.

Besides, as the majority of the Consideration will be satisfied by allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares, immediate cash flow burden of the Group will be reduced. Also, the Guaranteed Profits and the adjustment mechanism for the Consideration will provide adequate protection to the Group regarding the risk of KargoStudio not sustaining its initial performance and growth.

Base on the foregoing, the Directors consider that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
