Relating to the release of security given by China Star relating to Kingsway Hotel to be replaced by security given by the Company, despite repeated requests for expediting matters additional matters still need to be dealt with in order for Completion to take place which are beyond the Company's control (ie. administrative matters for the bank to release and charge of security provided in relation to Kingsway Hotel). Therefore, additional time is required for Completion to take place. Accordingly, the parties to the S&P Agreement have entered into the Fourth Deed of Variation.
