LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the Previous Acquisition Agreements (the details of which were disclosed in the Previous Announcements) and the Jinta Acquisition Agreement are entered into by the Group with the same party and are expected to complete within a 12-month period, the Previous Acquisitions and the Jinta Acquisition will be aggregated as a series of transactions pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Jinta Acquisition, when aggregated with the Previous Acquisitions, exceeds 5% and all the applicable percentage ratios are less than 25%, the transactions contemplated under the Jinta Acquisition Agreement constitute a discloseable transaction for the Company and are therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE JINTA ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

The Company is principally engaged in the investment in and development of solar power plants, properties and securities investment and trading of life-like plants in the PRC.

The Directors are of the view that the Jinta Acquisition is in line with the business objectives of the Company and signifies the furtherance of the Group’s initiative into the solar power sector in the PRC, thereby presenting opportunities for the Group’s long term development.

Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Jinta Acquisition Agreement has been entered into on normal commercial terms and is fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the Previous Acquisition Agreements (the details of which were disclosed in the Previous Announcements) and the Jinta Acquisition Agreement are entered into by the Group with the same party and are expected to complete within a 12-month period, the Previous Acquisitions and the Jinta Acquisition will be aggregated as a series of transactions pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Jinta Acquisition, when aggregated with the Previous Acquisitions, exceeds 5% and all the applicable percentage ratios are less than 25%, the transactions contemplated under the Jinta Acquisition Agreement constitute a discloseable transaction for the Company and are therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
