REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION
With reference to the Business Update, the Company has conducted an extensive review in the Hong Kong real estate market and has decided that the prospects for making short term investment in real estate for trading are promising and provide good opportunities to the Company and its Shareholders.
The Acquisition is in line with the Company’s new line of principal business of trading in real estate, whereby real estate will be acquired as stock for trading. As such, the Sale Shares will be classified as property held for resale purposes for the Company. Furthermore, the consideration of the Acquisition will be satisfied in part by issuance of Consideration Shares with the remainder satisfied by payment of HK$10,100,000 in cash from the general working capital of the Company. The use of the Consideration Shares allows the Company to conserve its cash resources and at the same time to strengthen the Company’s capital structure and widen the Company’s shareholder base. Therefore, the Board considers that the Acquisition including the terms of the Conditional Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
