MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING IN RELATION TO A PROPOSED ACQUISITION

This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 17.10(2) of the GEM Listing Rules and Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

On 21 December 2022 after trading hours, the Purchaser, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the MOU with the Vendor in relation to the proposed acquisition of the Target. The Vendor is the ultimate beneficial owner of the Target which is principally engaged in providing aircraft engine stand repair services and aviation related catering services.

To the best of the Directors’ information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Vendor is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons.

Under the MOU, the Vendor shall not directly or indirectly negotiate or agree with any other party relating to the Proposed Acquisition or do anything which is inconsistent with the Proposed Acquisition for a period of 3 months (“ Exclusive Period ”) from the date of the MOU.

In consideration of the Vendor granting the Exclusive Period, the Purchaser shall pay to the Vendor a refundable earnest money of HK$1 million within 5 business days from the date of the MOU.

The MOU does not create legally binding obligations on the parties in relation to the Proposed Acquisition but is legally binding as to such terms relating to exclusive period and confidentiality. The Proposed Acquisition is subject to the negotiation and execution of a formal sale and purchase agreement between the parties.

The MOU shall terminate upon the earlier of : (i) expiry of the Exclusive Period, or (ii) execution of the formal sale and purchase agreement relating to the Proposed Acquisition or (iii) not less than 7 days written notice of termination of the MOU being given by any party to the other. The Earnest Money shall be repaid to the Purchaser forthwith upon termination of the MOU.

As the MOU is not legally binding with regard to the Proposed Acquisition, it may or may not proceed. Shareholders and investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares of the Company.
