The amounts of the total registered capital of the JV Company and Shareholders’ Loans respectively were determined after arm’s length negotiations among DPP and the JV Partners by reference to the immediate capital requirement of the JV Company and the appraised value of the Land of HK$21,500,000 as at 15 April 2013 performed by Roma Appraisal Limited. The Group’s investment in the JV Company and the relevant portion of the Shareholders’ Loans to be provided by DPP are expected to be financed by internal resources of the Group. Other than the registered capital of the JV Company and the Shareholders’ Loans set out above, there is no further financial commitment that is required to be contributed by any of the DPP and the JV Partners to the JV Company.

REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTION

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The subsidiaries of the Company are principally engaged in the business of distribution of films in various videogram formats, licensing and sub-licensing of film rights and film exhibition and leasing of investment properties.

Prior to the JV Agreement, the JV Partners were already interested in investing in Macau and set up the JV Company in pursuing such object. On 22 March 2013, the JV Company identified an investment opportunity and entered into an agreement to purchase the Land and such agreement is due to complete on 2 May 2013. The Group has been actively seeking good investment opportunities and the Directors consider that the entering into the JV Agreement is a good investment opportunity which allows the Group to tap into the land and property markets in Macau, and believe that the Group will benefit from the anticipated growth in value of the Project.

The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider that the terms of the JV Agreement are fair and reasonable as far as the Shareholders are concerned, are based on normal commercial terms following arm’s length negotiations among DPP and the JV Partners and the entering into of the JV Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

INFORMATION ON THE JV PARTNERS

Each of the JV Partners is an individual and permanent resident in Hong Kong. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the JV Partners is a third party independent of the Company and Connected Persons of the Company.
