REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group has been focused on developing its property portfolio in Hong Kong and the PRC, however there is no geographical restriction to its sphere of activities. It is the Group’s strategy to review and optimise its property portfolio from time to time with a view to achieving the greatest value for its Shareholders. Following the disposal of several projects in 2016, the Company has been identifying potential acquisition targets in both local and major international markets. The Acquisition presents an excellent opportunity for the Company to acquire high quality properties at a prime location in Hong Kong.

The Board considers that the Acquisition would enable the Group to achieve a reasonable return from capital gain and rental income and provides an excellent opportunity for the Group to expand its property portfolio by the addition of properties with a view to maximizing its value for the Shareholders.

The terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreements were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties thereto. Taking into account the prospects of the property market in Hong Kong and the carrying value of the Shouson Hill Properties, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Sale and Purchase Agreements are on normal commercial terms and the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreements and the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders taken as a whole.
