SUPPLEMENTAL MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING IN RESPECT OF THE POSSIBLE TRANSACTION AND THE POSSIBLE DISPOSAL

References are made to the announcements of the Company dated 18 January 2017 and 17 February 2017 (the “ Announcements ”) in relation to, among others, the Possible Transaction and the Possible Disposal. Unless otherwise specified, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcements.

UPDATE ON THE POSSIBLE TRANSACTION AND THE POSSIBLE DISPOSAL

The Company wishes to update the shareholders and potential investors of the Company that the discussions regarding the Possible Transaction and the Possible Disposal are still in progress and as at the date of this announcement, (i) the Potential Vendors have not entered into any formal or legally binding agreement with the Potential Purchaser or the New Potential Purchaser (as defined below) in respect of the Possible Transaction; and (ii) the Company has not entered into any formal or legally binding agreement with the Potential Buyer in respect of the Possible Disposal.

On 1 March 2017 (after trading hours), the Potential Purchaser and Sage Global Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability (the “ New Potential Purchaser ”) entered into a deed of assignment and novation (the “ Deed of Assignment and Novation ”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Potential Purchaser assigned to the New Potential Purchaser the benefit and advantage of the MOU and the New Potential Purchaser undertook to perform and observe all the terms, provisions and conditions contained in the MOU and to be bound by the terms of the MOU in every way as if the New Potential Purchaser were a party to

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made reasonable enquiry, the New Potential Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner are independent third parties, which are not connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules) of the Company and are independent of the Company and its connected persons (as defined in the Listing Rules).

Pursuant to the MOU and the Deed of Assignment and Novation, the New Potential Purchaser has been granted an exclusivity period from the date of the MOU to 1 March 2017 (both dates inclusive) to negotiate over and finalise terms of the Possible Transaction with the Potential Vendors (or such later date as the Potential Vendors and the New Potential Purchaser may mutually agree in writing). Given that additional time is required for the negotiation and finalisation of the terms of the Possible Transaction between the Potential Vendors and the New Potential Purchaser, on 1 March 2017 (after trading hours), the Potential Vendors, the New Potential Purchaser and the Company (collectively, the “ MOU Parties ”) entered into a supplemental memorandum of understanding (the “ Supplemental MOU ”) to the MOU, pursuant to which the MOU Parties agree to amend, among others, certain terms of the MOU as follows:

  • (a) to extend the Expiry Date to 22 March 2017 (or such later date as the Potential Vendors and the New Potential Purchaser may mutually agree in writing);

  • (b) the Potential Vendors and the New Potential Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to enter into the Formal Agreement as soon as possible and in any event, on or before 22 March 2017 (or such later date as the Potential Vendors and the New Potential Purchaser may mutually agree in writing);

  • (c) to extend the Exclusivity Period to up to 22 March 2017; and

  • (d) the Company and the Potential Buyer shall negotiate in good faith with each other to ensure that the formal disposal agreement in relation to, among other things, the Possible Disposal, be entered into as soon as possible and in any event, on or before 22 March 2017 (or such later date as the Company and the Potential Buyer may agree in writing).

Save for the amendments contained in the Supplemental MOU and such other corresponding and consequential changes that are necessary to make the MOU consistent with the Supplemental MOU, the provisions under the MOU shall remain in full force and effect in all respects.
