As certain applicable percentage ratio (as defined in Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposals (aggregated pursuant to Rule 19.22 of the GEM Listing Rules) is more than 5% but less than 25%, the Disposals constitute a discloseable transaction of the Company and are subject to the requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.
