REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
The daily operation of the Company and its subsidiaries (the ‘‘Group’’) in the field of provision of online advertising services has generated affluent capital reserves.
On 12 June 2020, the Company subscribed for the UBS Bank Wealth Management Product. In 2023, there was a slight increase in the fair value of the remaining portion of the UBS Bank Wealth Management Product. Considering the current investment climate, stagnant economic environment and the interest rate for bank deposits, the Board considers that it is appropriate for the Group to proceed with the Disposal. The Disposal would strengthen the cash flow of the Group allowing the Group to improve its liquidity as general working capital and reallocate its resources for future development.
The Directors resolved to proceed with the Disposal after taking into account the market conditions, investment terms, risk level and expected return rate of the remaining UBS Bank Wealth Management Product if it would not be disposed of. The Directors consider the terms of the Disposal are on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable, and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. No Director has material interest in the Disposal and was required to abstain from voting on the resolutions approving the Disposal.
INFORMATION ON THE PARTIES
The Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the provision of online advertising services, which consist of social viral service, engager service and mass blogging service. Its business primarily operates in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
UBS Bank is an investment bank with headquarters in Switzerland. The on-market sale of the UBS Bank Wealth Management Product is made to purchaser(s) whom the Company has no knowledge of. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, (i) UBS Bank and its ultimate beneficial owners and (ii) the purchaser(s) of the UBS Bank Wealth Management Product are third parties independent of the Company and connected persons of the Company.
