CHANGE OF USE OF PROCEEDS
Reference is made to the Eternity Placing Announcement.
The placing of 47,000,000 new shares of Eternity under general mandate at a price of HK$0.645 per share was completed on 24 January 2013 and raised HK$29,931,000. As disclosed in the Eternity Placing Announcement, Eternity intended to apply the net proceeds from the placing for property investment in Hong Kong in order to enrich the Eternity Group’s investment property portfolio. As it is expected that the property price in Hong Kong will remain at the current expensive level for a period of time, the Eternity Directors would like to allocate the net proceeds of HK$29,931,000 from the placing to finance part of the Consideration.
The Eternity Directors consider that the change of use of the unutilised net proceeds from the placing will facilitate efficient allocation of financial resources of Eternity and strengthen the future development of the Eternity Group, and is fair and reasonable and in the interests of Eternity and the Eternity Shareholders as a whole.

CHANGE OF USE OF PROCEEDS
Reference is made to the Eternity Placing Announcement.
The placing of 47,000,000 new shares of Eternity under general mandate at a price of HK$0.645 per share was completed on 24 January 2013 and raised HK$29,931,000. As disclosed in the Eternity Placing Announcement, Eternity intended to apply the net proceeds from the placing for property investment in Hong Kong in order to enrich the Eternity Group’s investment property portfolio. As it is expected that the property price in Hong Kong will remain at the current expensive level for a period of time, the Eternity Directors would like to allocate the net proceeds of HK$29,931,000 from the placing to finance part of the Consideration.
