Having considered the above factors, the Directors (excluding the independent nonexecutive Directors who will express their view after receiving advice from the independent financial adviser) are of the opinion that the terms of the SP Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) (including the Consideration) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.
- A. The Consideration Shares and the Issue Price
Pursuant to the SP Agreement (and as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement), the Company will allot and issue, credited as fully paid, 1,732,880,000 Consideration Shares at the issue price of HK$0.22 per Consideration Share to the Vendor (or its nominees) as part of the Consideration.
The Consideration Shares represent (i) approximately 1.31 times of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; (ii) approximately 56.73% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares but before the allotment and issue of Consideration Conversion Shares; and (iii) approximately 23.35% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Consideration Shares and the Consideration Conversion Shares.
The Issue Price of HK$0.22 per Consideration Share represents:
-
(i) a discount of approximately 70.27% to the closing price of the Shares of HK$0.740 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
-
(ii) a discount of approximately 68.75% to the average of the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.704 per Share;
-
(iii) a discount of approximately 65.63% to the average of the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.640 per Share;
-
(iv) a discount of approximately 62.46% to the average of the closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the thirty consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.586 per Share; and
-
(v) a premium of approximately 101.47% over the audited net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.1092 based on the published audited consolidated net asset value of the Company of approximately HK$144,296,000 as at 31 March 2015 and issued share capital of 1,321,682,525 Shares as at the date of this announcement.

The Issue Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Vendor with reference to (i) the prevailing market price of the Shares; (ii) the unaudited net asset value of the Company as at 31 March 2015; (iii) the materialisation of the Disposals; and (iv) the current market conditions. Based on the above, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will express their view after receiving advice from the independent financial adviser) consider that the Issue Price is fair and reasonable to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Although the Issue Price represents a significant discount to the prevailing market price of the Company on the Last Trading Day, the Directors consider that the Issue Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the following reasons:
-
(i) the benefits of the Acquisition as detailed in the paragraph headed ‘‘Reasons for the Acquisition’’ in this announcement;
-
(ii) the materialisation of the Disposals which are conditions precedent under the SP Agreement, will significantly affect the revenue sources and the financial performances of the Group which the closing price of the Shares has not reflected in; and
-
(iii) the Issue Price will represent a significant premium over the audited net asset value per Share as at 31 March 2015 taking into effect of the completion of the Disposals.
The Consideration Shares, when issued and allotted, will rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue.

The Transferees are mainly holding the positions of director, general manager and deputy general manager of those companies and have assisted Mr. Pan in the development of his business during the past years.
A special vehicle wholly owned by Mr. Pan has been specifically set up for the purpose of holding the Granted CBs on trust for the Transferees.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Share Placing and CB Placing (together with the net proceeds from the Disposals in the amount of approximately HK$83.08 million) to (i) settle the full amount of the Promissory Note in respect of the Acquisition in the amount of HK$600,660,400; (ii) to partially invest in a property development project in the core district of Changsha, the PRC for residential and commercial uses (a total of three phrases with an aggregate estimated site area of approximately 116,904.45 meter square) from, to the best knowledge, the counterparty who is an Independent Third party and independent to the Vendor and its beneficial owners in the amount of approximately HK$425 million and as at the date of this announcement, neither the Company nor the Vendor has entered into agreements in respect of the project; and (iii) the remaining of which to further strengthen the Group’s capital base so as to allow the Group to grasp suitable business and/or investment opportunities with immediately available fund should appropriate chances arise and/or general working capital of the Company for expansion and development of the business of the Group upon SP Completion.
As at the date of this announcement, the Company is in the process of negotiating and finalising the terms under the placing agreements with several security houses in respect of the Share Placing and CB Placing while these security houses are performing due diligence on, among other things, the Company and the Acquisition. The expected amounts to be raised under the Share Placing and CB Placing are approximately HK$600.00 million and approximately HK$400.00 million respectively. The completions of the Share Placing and CB Placing (when materialised) are both expected to take place simultaneously with or immediately after the SP Completion.

The Directors have considered alternative fund raising methods such as bank borrowings and rights issue/open offer, however, taking into account:
-
(i) bank loans and/or other borrowings with interest rate will inevitably increase the interest burden and adversely affect the financial position of the Group;
-
(ii) given the Company is currently undergoing the process of restructuring, fundraising by rights issue or open offer on a fully underwritten basis, which require the underwriter to lock-up financial resources for its underwriting commitment until completion of the rights issue or open offer, is not preferred in the market;
-
(iii) an open offer on a non-fully underwritten basis is require to meet the minimum amount of funds raised set by and disclosed in the relevant listing document of the Company in order for the issue to proceed. This may result in the inability of the Company to implement its development plan and restructuring process as there is a possibility that no funds could be raised from such open offer if minimum amount is not met. As such, the Company considers the Share Placing and CB Placing involve less uncertainty risk than an open offer on a non-fully underwritten basis; and
-
(iv) the Share Placing and the CB Placing would enable the Company to broaden its shareholder base as their respective placees are Independent Third Parties and independent to the Vendor and its ultimate beneficial owners,
the Directors are of the view the Share Placing and CB Placing are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Details of the Share Placing and CB Placing will be announced by the Company as soon as any placing agreement is signed or the terms and conditions of the Share Placing and/or CB Placing are finalised.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Vendor, and its ultimate beneficial owners are independent third parties to the Company and its current connected persons.

The total GFA presented in this table includes saleable/rentable areas, car parks and ancillary facilities and others which are non-saleable/rentable areas.

Certain information contained in this column is based on the Target Group’s internal records or estimation and may be subject to change.
– 17 –
For the completed project Qianlong Academy, it had GFA sold of approximately 151,313 sq.m. and saleable GFA remaining unsold of approximately 17,649 sq.m. as at 31 August 2015. Up to 31 August 2015, Qianlong Academy had generated accumulated revenue (unaudited) of approximately RMB846.64 million. For the other completed project Qianlong Fine Art, it had GFA sold of approximately 192,632 sq.m. and saleable GFA remaining unsold of approximately 53,644 sq.m. as at 31 August 2015. Up to 31 August 2015, Qianlong Fine Art had generated accumulated revenue (unaudited) of approximately RMB1,035.75 million. Further detailed information of the above property development projects will be included in the circular.
The Target Group’s property development projects are primarily financed through capital contributions or advances provided by its shareholders, bank loans, trust and other loans and internal cash flows, including proceeds from the pre-sale of its properties. Based on the Target Group’s internal estimates or records, the estimated future development costs (mainly including construction costs, other development costs and capitalized finance costs) for the projects of the Target Group was approximately RMB2.4 billion as at 31 August 2015.
For its property development business, the Target Group focuses on site selection, land acquisition, project planning and preparatory work, and sales and marketing. Similar to many other property developers in the PRC, the Target Group generally outsources its design, construction, and property management services to qualified design firms, contractors and property management companies, and supervises their performance and manages the overall project development process.
Upon SP Completion, the Target Company will become a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and its financial results will be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
On 12 April 2015, the Vendor entered into the Loan Agreement with the Target Company and pursuant to which, the Vendor will provide an unpledged Shareholders’ Loan of not less than US$49.93 million interest free to the Target Company for a term of two years from the date of the Loan Agreement. Upon SP Completion, the Shareholders’ Loan will be assigned to the Company and as at the date of this announcement, the Shareholders’ Loan amounting to approximately US$50.13 million (equivalent to approximately HK$388 million). As confirmed by the Vendor, it has no intention to advance further loan to the Target Company prior to SP Completion.

Financial information of the Target Group
Certain key unaudited financial information of the Target Group for the two financial years ended 31 December 2013 and 2014 and for the six months ended 30 June 2014 and 2015 are set out as below:
| For the | |||
|---|---|---|---|

| 2013 | 2014 | 2014 2015 |

| Revenue | 342,105 | 1,137,733 | 54,860 269,011 |
| Net profit/(loss) before taxation | 53,195 | 158,243 | (13,485) 36,373 |
| Net profit/(loss) after taxation | 33,341 | 86,828 | (15,152) 25,351 |
As at 30 June 2015, the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Target Group was approximately RMB150,565,000.
Based on the unaudited financial information of the Target Group set out above, the revenue and profits of the Target Group for the six months ended 30 June 2015 (on an annualized basis) appear to have declined from that of the year ended 31 December 2014. That is mainly due to certain phases of Qianlong Fine Art, Qianlong Premier Mansion and Qianlong Royal Family were completed and delivered in the second half of 2014 giving a significant boost to the Target Group’s recognized revenue and profits during this period while the Target Group had relatively less GFA completed and delivered during the six months ended 30 June 2015. Historically, the Target Group experienced fluctuations in its results of operations, including revenue, gross profit and net profit. These fluctuations were mainly attributable to the GFA completed and delivered in each of the reporting periods. As the Target Group only had a few projects, the development stage of each of its projects would have significant impact on the Target Group’s results of operations.
The Company would like to draw to the attention of the Shareholders and potential investors that the above unaudited financial information relating to the Target Group is subject to audit by a reporting accountant and therefore to change. Shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution in placing reliance on the above information in assessing the merits and demerits of the Acquisition and other transactions disclosed in this announcement and/or when dealing in the Shares.

Intention of the Vendor in relation to composition of the Board
The Board is currently made up of 5 Directors, namely (i) Mr. Tang Kwok Hung and Mr. Ng Cheuk Fan, Keith as executive Directors; and (ii) Mr. Xie Tom, Mr. Mak Ka Wing, Patrick and Mr. Chan Chi Yuen as independent non-executive Directors. Upon SP Completion having taken place, the Vendor will become the controlling Shareholder (as defined in the Listing Rules). In view that the Company’s principal business will undergo a substantial change following SP Completion, it is the intention of the Vendor to change the composition of the Board in line with the new principal business of the Restructured Group. It is currently expected that Mr. Ng Cheuk Fan, Keith, an executive Director, shall resign while Mr. Tang Kwok Hung, the other executive Director, together with the 3 existing independent non-executive Directors shall remain on the Board upon SP Completion.

Information on the Group
The Group is principally engaged in operating with distinctive business lines of wholesale of garments and retail of fashion garments covering men, women and children’s wear.
Reasons for the Acquisition
The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will express their view after receiving advice from the independent financial adviser) consider the Acquisition to be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole for the following reasons:
-
(i) The Board has continuously been exploring different investment opportunities. Through the Acquisition, the Company can acquire the well-established businesses of the Target Group in the PRC;
-
(ii) As set out in the recent financial report of the Group, the Group experienced a decline in its garment retail business due to the weak domestic garment market and the emergence of internet retail business in China;
-
(iii) In light of the weak prospect of wholesaling and retailing of garment business presently carried on by the Group and the various challenges and uncertainties lied ahead in the retailing industry under the current global macro-economic environment, the Acquisition allows the scope of business of the Group to be replaced and the quality assets proposed to be acquired are expected to enhance the Company’s value to the Shareholders; and
-
(iv) The settlement of the consideration under the SP Agreement through the issue of Consideration Shares and Consideration CBs allows the Company to minimize its funding costs.
Based on the above, the Board is of the view that the Acquisition presents an excellent opportunity for the Group to expand its business portfolio to include and participate in the property business in the PRC with a view to forming a solid foundation for the Group to further enhance returns to the Shareholders.
– 23 –
As stated in the section headed ‘‘The Consideration’’ in this announcement, the Consideration was arrived at after taking into consideration of (i) the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Target Group attributable to the equity shareholders of the Target Company as at 31 March 2015; (ii) the Shareholders’ Loan; and (iii) an appreciation of the properties of the Target Group as per the preliminary valuation of the properties of the Target Group as at 31 March 2015. The Directors consider the Consideration has taken into account of the sold portion of the Qianlong Academy and Qianlong Fine Art which has been transferred from inventory to cash in the Target Group’s financial statements upon the conclusion of such sales and would be reflected in the Target Group’s net asset value.
In consideration of the above, the Directors (excluding all the independent nonexecutive Directors, who will give their opinion based on the recommendation from the independent financial adviser) are of the view that the terms of the SP Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement), which have been agreed after arm’s length negotiations, are on normal commercial terms and such terms are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Potential continuing connected transactions upon SP Completion
Upon SP Completion, any transaction between the Restructured Group and the Vendor or its associates will constitute a connected transaction or continuing connected transactions for the Company and are subject to the requirements set out in Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. It is currently envisaged that two transactions in relation to (i) licensing of certain trademarks held by Fujian Fusheng Group Co. Ltd. (福建福晟集團 有限公司), a connected person of the Target Company, to Hunan Fullsun Group on a royalty-free basis; and (ii) leasing of a property in the PRC by Fujian Men Cheung Properties Co., Ltd. (福建閩長 置 業有限公司), a connected person of the Target Company, to Fuzhou Fullsun Group on a rent-free basis will become exempt continuing connected transaction upon SP Completion. Details of such continuing connected transactions will be disclosed in the circular to be despatched by the Company to its Shareholders in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules if and when required.
Warnings
The Acquisition is subject to a number of conditions precedents in the SP Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement), and is inter-conditional with the Share Placing and the CB Placing which will be subject to a number of conditions, which may or may not be fulfilled. In addition, the Listing Committee’s approval on the new listing application to be made by the Company may or may not be granted. As the Acquisition may or may not proceed, Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when they deal or contemplate dealing in the Shares or other securities of the Company.
– 24 –
II. REVERSE TAKEOVER INVOLVING A NEW LISTING APPLICATION
The Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition for the Company under Rule 14.06(5) of the Listing Rules as one or more of the relevant percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules are over 100% for the Company in relation to the Acquisition.
The Acquisition also constitutes a reverse takeover for the Company under Rule 14.06(6)(a) of the Listing Rules on the basis that the Acquisition (i) constitutes a very substantial acquisition for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and (ii) involves an acquisition of assets from the Vendor which will result in a change in control (as defined under the Takeovers Code) of the Company immediately after the allotment and issue of the Consideration Conversion Shares upon full conversion of the Consideration CBs.
In addition, the Company will be treated as if it were a new listing applicant under Rule 14.54 of the Listing Rules. The Restructured Group must be able to meet the basic listing eligibility requirements of the Listing Rules. The Company must also comply with the procedures and requirements for new listing applicants as set out in Chapter 9 of the Listing Rules.
Accordingly, the Acquisition is also subject to the approval by the Listing Committee. As at the date of this announcement, the new listing application has not been submitted to the Stock Exchange, and the Company will initiate the new listing application process as soon as practicable. The Listing Committee may or may not grant its approval to the new listing application. If such approval is not granted by the Listing Committee, the SP Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) will not become unconditional and the Acquisition will not proceed.
The Acquisition is subject to the approval of the Independent Shareholders at the SGM. The Vendor and its associates are required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the SGM to approve, among others, the SP Agreement and the transactions contemplated under the SP Agreement. The Consideration Shares and the Consideration Conversion Shares will be issued under specific mandate to be obtained at the SGM.
III. PROPOSED SHARE PREMIUM REDUCTION
Subject to the approval by the Shareholders at the SGM, the Board proposes the Share Premium Reduction by cancelling the entire amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company as at the date of passing the resolution and to transfer the credit arising therefrom to the contributed surplus account of the Company which may be used in any manner permitted by the Bye-laws including, without limitation, to set off against the accumulated losses of the Company. As at 31 March 2015, based on the audited financial statements of the Company, the audited amount standing to the credit of the share premium account of the Company was approximately HK$783.16 million and the amount of accumulated losses of the Company was approximately HK$746.75 million. Upon completion of the Share Premium Reduction and the transfer of the credit arising therefrom to the contributed surplus account of the Company, an
– 25 –
amount of approximately HK$746.75 million standing to the credit of the contributed surplus account of the Company be applied to set off against the accumulated losses of the Company as at 31 March 2015.
The Share Premium Reduction is conditional upon (i) the approval of the Share Premium Reduction by the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the SGM; (ii) compliance with section 46(2) of the Companies Act; and (iii) compliance of the applicable procedures and requirements under the laws of Bermuda and the Bye-laws to effect the Share Premium Reduction.
Reasons for the Share Premium Reduction
The Board considers that the Share Premium Reduction may be applied towards elimination of accumulated losses of the Company and also provide greater flexibility in relation to its dividend distribution in the future if and when the Board considers appropriate. The Board therefore considers that the Share Premium Reduction is in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.
Effect of the Proposed Share Premium Reduction
The Share Premium Reduction does not involve any reduction in the authorised or issued share capital of the Company, nor does it involve any reduction in the nominal value of the Shares or trading arrangements concerning the Shares. The Board considers that the implementation of the Share Premium Reduction will not, in itself, have any material adverse effect on the underlying assets, liabilities, business, operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests of the Shareholders as a whole, other than related expenses incurred which are immaterial. There are no reasonable grounds for believing that the Company is, or after the Share Premium Reduction would be, unable to pay its liabilities as they become due.
IV. PROPOSED CHANGE OF NAME OF THE COMPANY
Subject to approval by the Shareholders at the SGM, the Company proposes the Name Change to change the English name of the Company from ‘‘U-RIGHT International Holdings Limited’’ to ‘‘Fullsun International Holdings Group Co., Limited’’ and to adopt and register a Chinese name ‘‘福晟國際控股集團有限公司’’ as its secondary name, and to cease to use its existing Chinese name ‘‘佑威國際控股有限公司’’ for identification purpose upon Completion.
Conditions for the Name Change
The Name Change is conditional upon the following conditions having been satisfied:
-
the passing of a special resolution by the Shareholders at the SGM approving the Name Change;
-
the SP Completion; and
-
The Registrar of Companies in Bermuda granting approval for the Name Change.
– 26 –
Reasons for the Name Change
The Name Change is to reflect the Company’s plan to focus on its new businesses in property development, apart from its existing businesses in operating with distinctive business lines of wholesale of garments and retail of fashion garments covering men, women and children’s wear. In addition, the Board believes that the new English and Chinese names of the Company will improve the Company’s corporate image and identity, which the Board considers to be in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Effect of the Name Change
Assuming all the conditions set out in the paragraph headed ‘‘Conditions for the Name Change’’ having been fulfilled, the Name Change will take effect from the date of entry of the new name of the Company on the register maintained by the Registrar of Companies in Bermuda. The Company will then carry out all necessary filing procedures with the Companies Registry in Hong Kong.
The Name Change will not affect any rights of the Shareholders or the Company’s daily business operation or its financial position. All existing share certificates of the Company in issue bearing the current name of the Company will, upon the Name Change becoming effective, continue to be good evidence of legal title to such Shares and will remain valid for trading, settlement, registration and delivery purposes.
There will not be any arrangement for the exchange of the existing share certificates for new share certificates bearing the new name of the Company. Upon Name Change becoming effective, all new share certificates will be issued only in the new name of the Company.
In addition, subject to confirmation by the Stock Exchange, the English and Chinese stock short names of the Company for trading in the securities on the Stock Exchange will also be changed after the Name Change becoming effective. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in relation to the effective dates of the Name Change and the change of the English and Chinese stock short names as and when appropriate.
V. THE DISPOSALS
Subsequent to the signing of the SP Agreement, the Company has entered into two sale and purchase agreements to dispose its Company Subsidiaries. The completion of the Disposals, when materialised, are expected to take place simultaneously with or immediately after the SP Completion. Subsequently, (i) upon completion of the Disposals, the Company’s remaining subsidiaries will be principally engaged in the trading of construction materials and property investment; and (ii) upon SP Completion and completion of the Disposals, the Group will be principally engaged in the business of the Target Group’s in property development in the PRC. As at the date of this announcement, the Company or the Vendor has no intention, understanding, arrangement or agreement to terminate, dispose, scaling down and/or change the
– 27 –
business plans of those remaining subsidiaries of the Company and the Vendor has not imposed any conditions and/or restrictions in respect of each of the UR Disposal and Alfreda Disposal.
(1) The UR Disposal
After trading hours on 27 October 2015, the Company (as the vendor) and the UR Purchaser entered into the UR Disposal Agreement pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell and the UR Purchaser has agreed to purchase the entire issued share capital of UR Group Limited and a shareholder’s loan owed by the UR Disposal Group to the Company for a total consideration of approximately HK$56.50 million to be satisfied under the following arrangement:
-
(i) as to approximately HK$5.65 million on the date of completion of the UR Disposal by setting off a deposit (being 10% of the UR Consideration) which will be paid by the UR Purchaser within seven days after execution of the UR Disposal Agreement (the ‘‘UR Deposit’’) on a dollar-to-dollar basis; and
-
(ii) the remaining balance of approximately HK$50.85 million by the UR Purchaser issuing a promissory note to the Company or in cash or cheque drawn against a licensed bank in Hong Kong and made payable in favour of the Company within 2 weeks from the date of completion of the UR Disposal.
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the UR Purchaser is an Independent Third Party as at the date of the UR Disposal Agreement and independent to the Vendor and its ultimate beneficial owners.
The UR Consideration was arrived after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the UR Purchaser on normal commercial terms and calculated based on the net tangible asset value of the UR Disposal Group and the outstanding amount of the shareholder’s loan owed by the UR Disposal Group to the Company on a dollar-to-dollar basis. The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will express their view after receiving advice from the independent financial adviser) are of the opinion that the UR Consideration is fair and reasonable.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the UR Disposal Agreement, the Company shall, as legal and beneficial owner, sell the entire issued share capital of UR Group Limited and the shareholder’s loan in the sum of approximately HK$18.56 million owed by the UR Disposal Group to the Company and the UR Purchaser shall purchase the entire issued share capital of UR Group Limited and the shareholder’s loan in the sum of approximately HK$18.56 million owed by the UR Disposal Group with effect from the completion of the UR Disposal free from all Encumbrances together with all rights attaching thereto including but not limited to all dividends paid, declared or made in respect thereof at any time on or after the date of the completion of the UR Disposal.
– 28 –

-
(b) the passing by the Shareholders of an ordinary resolution approving the UR Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Takeovers Code, and other applicable laws and regulations;

Information on UR Group Limited

It was an investment holding company and its subsidiaries were primarily engaged in the (i) retail of fashion garments in the PRC; and (ii) wholesale trading of raw materials and textile products in the PRC.
The consolidated financial information of UR Disposal Group for the two financial years ended 31 March 2014 and 2015 are set out as below:
| For the year ended | For the year ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Net | profit | after taxation | 7,964,553 | 5,065,152 |

(2) The Alfreda Disposal
After trading hours on 27 October 2015, the Company (as the vendor) and the Alfreda Purchaser entered into the Alfreda Disposal Agreement pursuant to which the Company has agreed to sell and the Alfreda Purchaser has agreed to purchase the entire issued share capital of Alfreda Limited and a shareholder’s loan owed by the Alfreda Disposal Group to the Company for a total consideration of approximately HK$25.86 million to be satisfied by the Alfreda Purchaser paying to the Company in cash or cheque drawn against a licensed bank in Hong Kong and made payable in favour of the Company within 2 weeks from the date of completion of the Alfreda Disposal.
– 30 –
To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Alfreda Purchase is an Independent Third Party as at the date of the Alfreda Disposal Agreement and independent to the Vendor and its ultimate beneficial owners.
The Alfreda Consideration was arrived after arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Alfreda Purchaser on normal commercial terms and calculated based on the net tangible asset value of the Alfreda Disposal Group and the outstanding amount of the shareholder’s loan owed by the Alfreda Disposal Group to the Company on a dollar-to-dollar basis. The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will express their view after receiving advice from the independent financial adviser) are of the opinion that the Alfreda Consideration is fair and reasonable.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Alfreda Disposal Agreement, the Company shall, as legal and beneficial owner, sell the entire issued share capital of Alfreda Limited and the shareholder’s loan in the sum of approximately HK$20.30 million owed by the Alfreda Disposal Group to the Company and the Alfreda Purchaser shall purchase the entire issued share capital of Alfreda Limited and the shareholder’s loan in the sum of approximately HK$20.30 million owed by the Alfreda Disposal Group with effect from the completion of the Alfreda Disposal free from all Encumbrances together with all rights attaching thereto including but not limited to all dividends paid, declared or made in respect thereof at any time on or after the date of the completion of the Alfreda Disposal.
Conditions precedent under the Alfreda Disposal Agreement
Completion of the Alfreda Disposal is conditional upon:
-
(a) the SP Agreement having becoming unconditional (other than the fulfilment of any condition in the SP Agreement requiring the fulfilment of the conditions precedent of the Alfreda Disposal Agreement and other transactions contemplated thereunder) and not being terminated in accordance with its terms and conditions;
-
(b) the passing by the Shareholders of an ordinary resolution approving the Alfreda Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Takeovers Code, and other applicable laws and regulations;
-
(c) if applicable, the consent of the Executive in relation to the Alfreda Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder as a ‘‘special deal’’ under Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code having been obtained and not revoked prior to the completion of the Alfreda Disposal;
-
(d) the Alfreda Purchaser being satisfied with the results of the due diligence review to be conducted under the terms of the Alfreda Disposal Agreement;
– 31 –
-
(e) all other approvals, consents, authorisations and licenses (so far as necessary) in relation to the transactions contemplated thereunder having been obtained from banks, third parties, and relevant government or judicial authorities;
-
(f) the warranties given by the Company in the Alfreda Disposal Agreement remaining true and accurate in all respects; and
-
(g) the warranties given by the Alfreda Purchaser in the Alfreda Disposal Agreement remaining true and accurate in all respects.
Other than the condition precedent referred to in (g) above can be waived by the Company and the conditions precedent referred to in (d) and (f) can be waived by the Alfreda Purchaser, all other conditions precedent under the Alfreda Disposal Agreement are incapable of being waived by the parties to the Alfreda Disposal Agreement.
If any of the conditions precedent has not been satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms of the Alfreda Disposal Agreement on or before noon of the Alfreda Disposal Long Stop Date or such later date as the parties under the Alfreda Disposal Agreement may agree, the Alfreda Disposal Agreement shall cease and determine and none of the parties shall have any obligations and liabilities under the Alfreda Disposal Agreement, save for any antecedent breach of the terms of the Alfreda Disposal Agreement.
Completion of the Alfreda Disposal
Completion of the Alfreda Disposal shall take place after the conditions precedent pursuant to the Alfreda Disposal Agreement have been satisfied or waived (if applicable).
The completion of the Alfreda Disposal Agreement shall take place at the same time or immediately after the SP Completion so that in default of performance of any such agreement or transaction or any part thereof by any party to the SP Agreement, the parties to Alfreda Disposal Agreement shall not be obliged to complete any of the transactions thereunder but without prejudice to any further legal remedies, and if the completion of the SP Agreement is delayed, completion of the Alfreda Disposal Agreement shall similarly be delayed to the same later date and time.
Information on Alfreda Limited
Alfreda Limited, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group prior to the completion of the Alfreda Disposal, was incorporated in the BVI. It was an investment holding company and its subsidiaries were primarily engaged in design, distribution and sale of fashion apparels in the PRC.
– 32 –
The consolidated financial information of Alfreda Disposal Group for the two financial years ended 31 March 2014 and 2015 are set out as below:
| For the year | ended | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 31 March | ||||
| 2014 | 2015 | |||
| HK$ | HK$ | |||
| Net | profit/(loss) | before taxation | 8,939,039 | (680,415) |
| Net | profit/(loss) | after taxation | 7,146,675 | (1,170,049) |
As at 31 March 2015, the consolidated net asset value of the Alfreda Disposal Group was approximately HK$16.76 million.
Reasons for the Disposals and use of proceeds
The Disposals are conditional to the SP Completion and aside from the benefits as set out in the section headed ‘‘Reasons for the Acquisition’’ in this announcement, particularly, in view of the prospect and potential of the businesses of the Company Subsidiaries under the emergence of online retailing, the Board believes the Disposals allow the Group to enhance and strengthen the financial position and cash flow of the Group. In addition, the Company intends to use the net proceeds (after deducing the relevant professional fees) from the Disposals in the amount of approximately HK$80.38 million to fund the property development project (to the best knowledge, the counterparty is an Independent Third Party and independent to the Vendor and its beneficial owners) intended to be invested in Changsha, the PRC as mentioned in the paragraph under the sub-section headed ‘‘Share Placing and CB Placing’’ in this announcement and/or as general working capital of the Group, and that the Disposals will further allow the Group to focus on the newly engaged business in property development upon SP Completion. In light of the above, the Directors are of the view the Disposals are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Financial Effect of the Disposals
Upon completions of the Disposals, both UR Group Limited and Alfreda Limited will cease to be the Company’s subsidiaries and the Company will cease to have any interests in any of them. Without taking into account the expenses to be incurred in connection with the Disposals and subject to the review by the Company’s auditors, based on the total consideration from the UR Consideration and the Alfreda Consideration in the aggregated amount of approximately HK$82.36 million, the Group is expected to incur a loss on the Disposals of approximately HK$11.20 million. Such amount is calculated by adding the net asset values and the shareholders loans of the UR Disposal Group and the Alfreda Disposal Group and then deducting therefrom the sum of the UR Consideration and Alfreda Consideration.
– 33 –
Shareholders should note that the financial effect is shown for reference only and the actual amount of gain and loss as a result of the Disposals is subject to audit, which will be assessed based on the financial positions of the UR Disposal Group and Alfreda Disposal Group as at completion of the Disposals.
Listing Rules Implications
As the highest of the applicable percentage ratios calculated with reference to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposals, on an aggregated basis, exceed 75%, the Disposals together constitute a very substantial disposal transaction for the Company under Rule 14.06 of the Listing Rules and will therefore subject to the announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
Warnings
The completion of the Disposals are inter-conditional with the SP Completion which will be subject to a number of conditions and the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules, which may or may not be fulfilled. Shareholders of the Company and potential investors should exercise caution when they deal or contemplate dealing in the Shares or other securities of the Company.

VI. PROPOSED ADOPTION OF THE SHARE OPTION SCHEME
Reason for adopting the Share Option Scheme
As the old share option scheme of the Company adopted on 9 July 2002 and expired on 17 July 2012 (the ‘‘Old Share Option Scheme’’), the Company proposes to adopt the Share Option Scheme, which is subject to Shareholders’ approval at the SGM.
Conditions
The adoption of the Share Option Scheme is conditional upon:
-
(i) the Shareholders passing an ordinary resolution to approve and adopt the Share Option Scheme at the SGM;
-
(ii) the Listing Committee granting approval for the listing of and permission to deal in such number of new Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of the share options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme; and
-
(iii) SP Completion taking place.
Application will be made to the Listing Committee for the approval of the granting of the listing of and permission to deal in the new Shares which may fall to be issued upon exercise of the share options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme.
The Company will comply with the requirements of the Listing Rules in granting the share options and issuing Shares pursuant to the Share Option Scheme.
Value of Option
The Directors consider it inappropriate to value any share options which may be granted under the Share Option Scheme, as a number of variables which are crucial for the valuation (such as the possibility of lapses or cancellations of share options granted, cessation of the grantee as a participant not foreseeable nor controllable by the Directors at this stage) cannot be determined evidently at this stage. Such variables also include the exercise price of the share options and the conditions, if any, that a share option is subject to. Accordingly, any valuation of the share options based on a large number of speculative assumptions would not be meaningful and may be misleading to the Shareholders.
As at the date of this announcement, there are no outstanding share options granted but not yet exercised or exercisable under the Old Share Option Scheme.
A summary of the terms of the Share Option Scheme will be included in the circular.

EFFECT ON SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY
The existing and enlarged shareholding structure of the Company (i) as at the date of this announcement; (ii) immediately after the issue of the Consideration Shares pursuant to the terms of the SP Agreement and the Placing Shares (which are included as the Share Placing and CB Placing are conditions precedent to the SP Agreement and when materialised, are expected to take place simultaneously with the SP Completion) but before the issue of the Consideration Conversion Shares and the Conversion Shares (‘‘II’’); (iii) immediately after the issue of the Consideration Shares, the Placing Shares and the Consideration Conversion Shares but before the issue of the Conversion Shares (‘‘III’’); and (iv) immediately after the issue of the Consideration Shares and the Placing Shares, the Consideration Conversion Shares and the Conversion Shares (‘‘IV’’) are set out below for illustrative purposes only:

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 49.01 | |||||
| 100.00 |
Notes:
- The Acquisition is inter-conditional with the Share Placing to issue not less than 2,727,280,000 new Shares and the CB Placing in the principal amount of approximately HK$400.0 million to allot and issue not more than 1,818,181,600 Conversion Shares (as included under the sub-section headed
‘‘Conditions precedent’’in the section headed‘‘I. THE ACQUISITION’’and therefore, the Company will not proceed with the Acquisition if the Share Placing and CB Placing could not proceed to completion pursuant to the SP Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement). Both the Share Placing and the CB Placing, when materialised, are expected to take place simultaneously with the SP Completion.
As a result of the above scenario, immediately after the SP Completion (i.e. immediately after the issue of the Consideration Shares and the Placing Shares but before the issue of the Consideration Conversion Shares and Conversion Shares), the aggregated shareholding of the Company interested to the Vendor, its ultimate beneficial owners and the parties acting in concert with any of them will be approximately 29.99%.
– 38 –
It is expected that the placing agent to be appointed under the placing agreement to be entered into by the Company in respect of the Share Placing shall procure that each of the placees (whom is selected and procured to subscribe for any of the Placing Shares), its ultimate beneficial owners will have to be (i) Independent Third Parties; (ii) independent to the Vendor, its ultimate beneficial owners and party in concert with them; (iii) independent to the proposed directors referred to under the sub-section headed ‘‘ Intention of the Vendor in relation to composition of the Board ’’ in this announcement to be proposed and the core connected persons after the completion of the Acquisition and the proposed change of Directors; and (iv) regarded as public (within the meaning as defined under Rule 8.24 of the Listing Rules).
It is expected that the placing agent to be appointed under the placing agreement to be entered into by the Company in respect of the CB Placing shall procure that each of the placees (whom is selected and procured to subscribe for any of the Convertible Bonds), its ultimate beneficial owners will have to be (i) Independent Third Parties; (ii) independent to the Vendor, its ultimate beneficial owners and party in concert with them; (iii) independent to the proposed directors referred to under the sub-section headed ‘‘ Intention of the Vendor in relation to composition of the Board ’’ in this announcement to be proposed; and (iv) regarded as public (within the meaning as defined under Rule 8.24 of the Listing Rules).
-
For illustrative purposes, the aggregate principal amount of approximately RMB784,143,360 entitled the Vendor to convert into 4,368,000,000 Consideration Conversion Shares is based on the initial conversion price of approximately RMB0.17952 per Consideration Conversion Share (calculated based on the Fixed Exchange Rate), The number of the Consideration Conversion Shares is subject to the then Prevailing Exchange Rate.
-
For illustrative purposes only, the Consideration CBs are subject to restrictions such that the conversion of which would not (a) trigger a mandatory offer obligation under Rule 26 of the Takeovers Code on the part of the holder of the Consideration CBs and parties acting in concert with it (as defined in the Takeovers Code) or (b) cause the Company to be unable to meet the minimum public float requirement under Rule 8.08 of the Listing Rules.
-
These Shares are beneficially owned by Advance Lead International Limited. Advance Lead International Limited is owned by (i) Sino Classic Global Limited as to 30% in which Ms. Au Tsui Yee, Maggie is the sole beneficial owner; (ii) Great Novel Limited as to 30% in which Mr. Chau Kai Man is the sole beneficial owner; and (iii) Easy Advance Investments Limited as to 40%, which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Advance Shine Holdings Limited. Mr. Chau Pak Chuen is the sole beneficial owner of Advance Shine Holdings Limited. Advance Lead International Limited and its beneficial owners does not have any relationship with the Vendor, the current Directors and connected persons and the core connected persons after the completion of the Acquisition and the proposed change of Directors (the
‘‘Core Member(s)’’).
Furthermore, each of the shareholders of Advance Lead International Limited confirmed that (i) their acquisition of securities has not been financed directly or indirectly by a Core Member; and (ii) each of them is not accustomed to take instructions from a Core Member in relation to the acquisition, disposal, voting or other disposition of securities of the Company registered in their name or otherwise held by them under Rule 8.24 of the Listing Rules.
As shown in the table, under scenario II of the above, there will be a dilution in the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders from approximately 26.53% as at the date of this announcement approximately 6.06% and under scenario IV of the above, the shareholding interests of the existing public Shareholders (excluding Advance Lead International Limited) will further decrease to approximately 2.93% on a fully diluted basis (i.e. upon conversion of all Consideration CBs into Consideration Conversion Shares and all Convertible Bonds into Conversion Shares). The dilution effect in itself is not favorable to the existing public Shareholders. Nevertheless, it is important to note the significant positive effects that will bring to the Group as a result of the SP Completion as discussed in the sub-
– 39 –
section headed ‘‘Reasons for the Acquisition’’ in this announcement. As such, the Board is of the view the shareholding dilution of the existing public Shareholders is acceptable on the basis that it is more advantageous to all the Shareholders to have a smaller shareholding interests in a company which is profitable and with strong net asset backing, rather than to have a large shareholding interests in a company which has low profitability and asset backing.
SPONSOR, INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE AND INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER
Ample Capital Limited has been appointed as the sponsor to the Company’s new listing application.
The IBC comprising Mr. XIE Tom, Mr. MAK Ka Wing, Patrick and Mr. CHAN Chi Yuen, being all the independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders in relation to the SP Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement) and the Acquisition, the Disposals and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

-
(i) compilation and preparation of the circular including but not limited to (a) the audited financial information of the Target Group; (b) the unaudited pro forma financial information on the Restructured Group; (c) the property valuation report on the Target Group; (d) the letter of advice from the independent financial adviser; and (e) the market research report; and

As no Director or Advance Lead International Limited, being the controlling Shareholder prior to the entering of the SP Agreement, has any material interest in the SP Agreement, the UR Disposal Agreement, the Alfreda Disposal Agreement and the transactions contemplated respectively thereunder and accordingly, none of the Directors or Advance Lead International Limited is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions for considering and approving the SP Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Agreement), the UR Disposal Agreement and the Alfreda Disposal Agreement and all the transactions contemplated thereunder.
Since Mr. Pan holds 1,080,000 Shares, and Mr. Pan, his respective associates and the Vendor have material interests in the SP Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, they and their associates are required to abstain from voting on the resolution relating to the Transactions.
