REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT
The Company and its subsidiaries have been principally engaged in the businesses of supply and procurement of commodities, provision of brokerage service and securities margin financing, provision of futures and options contracts dealing services, provision of finance, securities investments and real estate.
By entering into of the Subscription Agreement, the Group can improve its financial position by settling the Promissory Notes at a reduced value and reducing future financing cost of the Group. Notwithstanding that the total outstanding principal amounts of the Promissory Notes of HK$285,000,000 are due on 4 November 2018, the Subscriber being the holder of the Promissory Notes agreed to give a discount of HK$24,000,000 for the early redemption and cancellation of the Promissory Notes. Thereby, the aggregate Subscription Price at a value of HK$261,000,000 will be set off against the Promissory Notes.
There will be no gross proceeds or net proceeds from the Subscription as the Subscription Price will be settled by way of set off the outstanding principal amount of the Promissory Notes.
– 4 –
As at the date of this announcement, the total outstanding principal amount owed by the Company to the Subscriber under the Promissory Notes amounts to HK$285,000,000. Upon completion, there will be no outstanding Promissory Notes.
The Directors consider that the Subscription Agreement is entered into upon normal commercial terms following arm’s length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber and that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole are concerned. The Directors also consider that the Subscription will strengthen the financial position (in particular, reduction of the gearing ratio) of the Group.
