ADVANCE TO AN ENTITY
On 27 September 2017, CMBC Securities, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has confirmed its agreement to grant the Margin Facility in the total maximum principal amount of HK$180 million to the Borrower.
Subject to terms and conditions as set out in the relevant client agreement, the Margin Facility shall be drawn by the Borrower after (i) CMBC Securities confirms its agreement to the grant of the Margin Facility and receives the commitment fee in full; and (ii) the Borrower has duly provided the security in relation to the Margin Facility. In line with the market practice, the Margin Facility does not have a fixed term and can be repaid by the Borrower in accordance with the relevant client agreement. The actual drawn amount of the Margin Facility carries interest at a rate up to 10% above the prime lending rate quoted by a leading licensed bank in Hong Kong. In addition, the Borrower shall also pay to CMBC Securities a commitment fee in the amount equal to 3% of the total amount of the Margin Facility.
The Margin Facility is secured by the charge of all the 1,963,402,060 Shares held by the Borrower, representing approximately 4.3% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date hereof. The margin ratio of the Margin Facility shall not exceed 20% as at the time of the grant of the Margin Facility; whilst CMBC Securities has the right to call margin if such margin ratio exceeds 20% during the term of the Margin Facility.
INFORMATION OF THE BORROWER
To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, the Borrower is a Hong Kong resident and a minority individual Shareholder, holding approximately 4.3% of total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement. The Borrower is the Group’s new customer.
To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Borrower is an Independent Third Party.

INFORMATION ON THE CREDIT RISK RELATING TO THE MARGIN FACILITY
The grant of the Margin Facility was made on the basis of CMBC Securities’ credit assessments made on, inter alia , that (1) the closing price of the collaterals as stated in the daily quotation sheets issued by the Stock Exchange on 25 September 2017, being approximately HK$1.43 billion (or approximately 8.0 times of the total amount of the Margin Facility to be granted); (2) the applicable margin ratio for the Margin Facility, which is in line with the prevailing market practice; and (3) the credit worthiness of the Borrower is acceptable to us. After taking into account these factors, the Company considers that the risks involved in the advance to the Borrower are relatively low.
