As disclosed in the Joint Announcement, it is the intention of the Offeror and the Company to combine the offer document from the Offeror and the offeree board circular from the Company in the Composite Document. Pursuant to Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code, the Composite Document should normally be posted to the Shareholders within 21 days of the date of the Joint Announcement, i.e. on or before 21 August 2018. Pursuant to Note 2 to Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code, the consent of the Executive is required if the making of the Offer is subject to the prior fulfilment of certain pre-conditions and the pre-conditions cannot be fulfilled within the time period required by Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code.
As disclosed in the Joint Announcement, the making of the Offer is conditional upon the Completion, which in turn is subject to, among others, (a) the approval of the Shareholders on the Share Premium Reduction and Transfer, the Distribution and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM; and (b)(i) the approval from the SFC for the change in substantial shareholder of China Jianxin Financial; or (ii) evidence to the satisfaction of the Vendor that such approval is unnecessary for the transactions contemplated by the Sale and Purchase Agreement under the SFO; or (iii) the revocation of license of China Jianxin Financial to carry on Type 1 (dealing in securities) and Type 4 (advising on securities) regulated activities under the SFO (as the case may be). Further, Completion shall take place contemporaneously with the payment of the Distribution.
In light of the expected time required by the Company for (a) convening the SGM for the purpose of considering and approving the Share Premium Reduction and Transfer, the Distribution and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (b)(i) obtaining the relevant approval from the SFC; or (ii) obtaining the evidence to the satisfaction of the Vendor that such approval is unnecessary; or (iii) effecting the revocation of license of China Jianxin Financial to carry on Type 1 (dealing in securities) and Type 4 (advising on securities) regulated activities under the SFO (as the case may be); and (c) making all necessary arrangement for the payment of the Distribution, an application has been made to seek the consent from the Executive under Note 2 to Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code to extend the deadline for the despatch of the Composite Document to 11 October 2018 or within seven (7) days from the date of fulfillment of the pre-conditions to the Offer (including the Completion which shall take place contemporaneously with the payment of the Distribution), whichever is earlier, and the Executive has granted its consent for such extension.
