DISCLOSURE OF DEALINGS
The respective associates of the Offeror and the Company are hereby reminded to disclose their dealings in any securities of the Company in accordance to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code.
Pursuant to Note 11 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code, stockbrokers, banks and others who deal in relevant securities on behalf of clients have a general duty to ensure, so far as they are able, that those clients are aware of the disclosure obligations attaching to associates and other persons under Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code and that those clients are willing to comply with them. Principal traders and dealers who deal directly with investors should, in appropriate cases, likewise draw attention to the relevant rules of the Takeovers Code. However, this does not apply when the total value of dealings (excluding stamp duty and commission) in any relevant security undertaken for a client during any 7 day period is less than HK$1 million.
This dispensation does not alter the obligation of principals, associates and other persons themselves to initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever total value is involved.
Intermediaries are expected to co-operate with the Executive in its dealings enquiries. Therefore, those who deal in relevant securities should appreciate that stockbrokers and other intermediaries will supply the Executive with relevant information as to those dealings, including identities of clients, as part of that co-operation.
WARNING: Shareholders and investors generally should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.
