REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITIONS
The Company principally engages in supply and procurement of commodities, provision of finance, securities investment and real estate business.
As aforementioned, one of the Company’s principal lines of businesses is financial services encompassing money lending and securities trading. The Directors are of the view that, the Acquisitions would strongly complement the Company’s financial services activities and provide both synergistic benefits as well as a way to establish both vertical and horizontal integration of its securities trading.
– 13 –
The Company also believes the timing of the Acquisitions coincides well with the business cycle of the financial services in Hong Kong with the recent loosening of regulation on investments from China to Hong Kong. Such de-regulation has significantly improves the sentiment of the Hong Kong financial market with large amount of money pouring into and as a result spikes in both the share prices of listed vehicles and the turnover recorded at the Stock Exchange in Hong Kong. This certainly bodes well for the business and performance of service providers in the financial services sectors such as each of the Target Companies. The Directors therefore believe the Acquisitions are in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
