REASONS FOR THE TIANJIE ACQUISITION
The Tianjie Acquisition was mainly due to the fact that the fl oor area of the Dongdaqiao Property the Group originally planned to acquire is inadequate to satisfy the needs of the current business development and team expansion of the Group. Also, the existing offi ce locations of the Group are widely scattered, while the consolidation of offi ce locations can simplify management, strengthen communication and improve operational effi ciency, which will in turn support the Group’s overall development. Furthermore, the Tianjie Building, which will be renamed as “Golden Bridge Tianjie Building”, is located near the new China Central Television building, and will give regional advantage for related business development and enhance the overall corporate image and the brand name of the Group as a domestic media operation group. The Directors are of the view that the Tianjie Acquisition would be benefi cial to the Group.
Having considered to the aforesaid reasons, the Directors considered that the terms of the Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder were fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms, and that the entering into the Framework Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
