-
Principal amount : HK$23,000,000
-
Maturity date : a date falling on the same calendar date of the sixth month after the Drawdown Date and if such date is not a business day in Hong Kong, the immediately following business day
-
Interest : 8.5% per annum
-
Security : the Loan is secured by a guarantee given by the Guarantor in favour of the Lender for the due and punctual performance of the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Agreement
Under the Loan Agreement, the Borrower shall repay and/or settle the full amount of the Loan on the Maturity Date and the interest accrued thereon shall be repaid by two instalments on the same calendar date of the third month after the Drawdown Date and on the Maturity Date respectively.
The Loan to be granted under the Loan Agreement to the Borrower will be funded by internal resources of the Group.
The terms of the Loan Agreement (including the interest rate) were arrived at by the parties after arm’s length negotiation, with reference to the commercial practice and the amount of the Loan.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROVISION OF THE LOAN
The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in distribution of films in various videogram formats, film exhibition, licensing and sub-licensing of film rights, leasing of investment properties, securities investment and money lending. The Lender, being a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a holder of a money lender licence under the Money Lenders Ordinance.
The Directors consider that the grant of the Loan is conducted in the course of the Group’s money lending business. Having considered the financial background of the Borrower and the Guarantor and the additional interest income to be received by the Group, the Directors consider that the terms of the Loan Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
