Rental
HK$244,000 per month (exclusive of Rates, Government Rent and management fee) payable monthly
The annual rental (exclusive of Rates, Government Rent and management fee) paid by the Group to UPI in respect of the Wyler Centre Properties for the financial years ended 30 June 2018, 30 June 2019, 30 June 2020 and 7 months ending 31 January 2021 was HK$2,928,000, HK$2,928,000, HK$2,928,000 and HK$1,708,000 respectively.
Annual Cap
Based on the monthly rental of HK$244,000 payable under the Tenancy Agreement, the maximum aggregate amount payable under the Tenancy Agreement for the 5 months ending 30 June 2021, 12 months ending 30 June 2022, 12 months ending 30 June 2023 and 7 months ending 31 January 2024 will not exceed HK$1,220,000, HK$2,928,000, HK$2,928,000 and HK$1,708,000 respectively.
Reasons for the entering into of the Tenancy Agreement
As the Group has been using the Wyler Centre Properties since early 2000, the Directors consider that there will be considerable time and cost saving (in terms of relocation and renovation) for the Group to continue to lease the Wyler Centre Properties from UPI.
– 2 –
The terms of the Tenancy Agreement were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between UDE and UPI with reference to the past monthly rental and the Rental Valuation performed by RGA as at 22 January 2021.
The Directors (except Mr. Daneil Lam who abstained from participating in the approval of the Tenancy Agreement due to his material interests therein), including the independent non-executive Directors, considered that the entering into of the Tenancy Agreement was in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company; and the terms of the Tenancy Agreement were based on normal commercial terms and were fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
INFORMATION OF THE PARTIES
The Group is principally engaged in video distribution, film distribution and exhibition, licensing and sub-licensing of film rights, money lending, leasing of investment properties, entertainment business, securities investment, trading, wholesaling and retailing of optical products and watches products, and provisions of type-setting, translation, printing, design, distribution of financial print products and other related services.
UPI is principally engaged in investment holding in Hong Kong and its entire issued share capital is owned by Mr. Daneil Lam.
UDE is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is principally engaged in distribution of films in various videogram formats in Hong Kong.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
In accordance with HKFRS 16 “Leases”, the Group is required to recognize an additional asset representing its right to use Wyler Centre Properties, and as a result, the entering into the Tenancy Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder will be regarded as acquisitions of assets by the Group for the purpose of the Listing Rules.
Mr. Daneil Lam, who is the founder, the chairman of the Company, an executive Director and controlling shareholder of the Company, is a Connected Person. Accordingly, UPI is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Hence, the transactions contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement, the payment of monthly rental payment under the Tenancy Agreement will be regarded as one-off connected transaction.
As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Value of Right-of-Use Assets under the Tenancy Agreement in the amount of approximately HK$8,395,000 is more than 0.1% but less than 5% and the Value of Right-of-Use Assets is more than HK$3,000,000, the transactions contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement are subject to the reporting, annual review and announcement requirements but are exempted from the independent shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
