REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

The terms of the Supplemental Agreement were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the Investors. When the Company entered into the cooperation agreement with HNW SPC in December 2020 for the setting up of the Cayman Fund with the Company as one of the Investors subscribing for not more than 49% interest, the identity and exact subscription amounts of each of the Other Investors were not yet confirmed, but it were agreed by the Company and HNW SPC that the Other Investors will not be connected person of the Company, and that the Other Investors will subscribe for not less than 51% interest in the Cayman Fund. As such, the key terms of the Cayman Fund as reflected in the said cooperation agreement were negotiated agreed between HNW SPC and the Company. The Company and the Other Investors then subscribed to the Cayman Fund in late December 2020. When the Investors met to further discuss the practical implementation of the Cayman Fund in March 2021, the Other Investor raised the proposal of moving forward the starting time of the Open Period so that, if there is any transfer/redemption of Fund Shares during the Open Period, such transfer/redemption will be completed before the financial year end date of the Cayman Fund. Taking into consideration that (i) the anniversary date of the date of completion of all subscription to the Cayman Fund is the financial year end date of the Cayman Fund, and (ii) since annual audited financial statements of the Cayman Fund will be provided to all holders of Fund Shares, the Directors consider that if the relevant transfer(s)/redemption(s) of Fund Shares will be completed before the

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

financial year end date of the Cayman Fund and be reflected in the financial statements of the Cayman Fund, all Investors including the Group will have a better understanding of the value of the Fund Shares of the Cayman Fund, which will assist the parties to confirm the investment return and formulate the investment plan for the next year at the financial year end.

Having considered the above, the Group considered that moving forward the starting time of the Open Period is more reasonable from the practical implementation perspective and would be beneficial to all Investors and the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Supplemental Agreement are on normal commercial terms that are fair and reasonable, and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Company therefore agreed to the said proposal and entered into the Supplemental Agreement in early April 2021.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Subscription was more than 25% but less than 100%, the Subscription constituted a major transaction of the Company and was subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. The Company obtained a written approval from Pacific Climax for the approval of the Subscription in lieu of a resolution to be passed at a general meeting of the Company pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14.36 and 14.40 of the Listing Rules, the Company must re-comply with the announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements before it proposes to effect a material change to the terms of a major transaction. Accordingly, the Supplemental Agreement, which serves to amend the Private Placing Memorandum governing the Cayman Fund, is subject to the independent shareholders’ approval and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As no Shareholder has a material interest in the transactions contemplated under the Supplemental Agreement, none of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Supplemental Agreement. The Company has obtained a written approval from Pacific Climax, which, as at the Latest Practicable Date, held 530,894,000 Shares (representing approximately 70.94% of the issued share capital of the Company) for the approval of the Supplemental Agreement in lieu of a resolution to be passed at a general meeting of the Company pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules. As such, no extraordinary general meeting will be convened by the Company to approve the Supplemental Agreement.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the Supplemental Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Although a general meeting will not be convened by the Company to approve the Supplemental Agreement, if such a general meeting were to be convened by the Company, the Board would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to approve the Supplemental Agreement.
