FURTHER DELAY IN DESPATCH OF THE COMPOSITE DOCUMENT
As disclosed in the Joint Announcement, it is the intention of the Offeror and the Company to combine the offer document and the offeree company’s board circular in the Composite Document.
As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 21 August 2018, pursuant to the Executive’s consent granted to the Company on 20 August 2018 under Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code, the latest time for the despatch of the Composite Document to the Shareholders was extended to a date falling within 7 days after the date of fulfillment of the pre-conditions to the Offer or 11 October 2018, whichever the earlier.
Pursuant to the Supplemental Sale and Purchase Agreement, the parties thereto agreed to amend the Completion Date to 22 October 2018 (or such other date as the Purchaser and the Vendor may agree in writing). Further, Completion shall take place contemporaneously with the payment of the Distribution.

Further announcement(s) will be jointly made by the Company and the Offeror when the Composite Document and the accompanying form of acceptance and transfer are despatched.
WARNING
The Offer will only be made if Completion takes place. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise extreme caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
