MAJOR TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE ACQUISITION OF THE PROPERTY

THE ACQUISITION

On 15 April 2021 (after trading hours), the Purchaser (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into the Preliminary Sale and Purchase Agreement with the Vendor, pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase and the Vendor agreed to sell the Property at a consideration of HK$43,000,000 subject to the terms and conditions set out therein. It is a term of the Preliminary Sale and Purchase Agreement that the Purchaser agreed to lease back the Property to the Vendor for a term of six months commencing on 1 July 2021 and ending on 31 December 2021.

GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 19.07 of the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceeds 25% but all of them are less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has a material interest in the Acquisition and as such, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the Acquisition, should the Acquisition be put forward to the Shareholders for consideration and approval at a general meeting of the Company.

The written shareholder’s approval by Ultra Success Industries Limited has been accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting and no general meeting of the Company is required to be convened for the approval of the Acquisition pursuant to Rule 19.44 of the GEM Listing Rules.

Pursuant to the Rule 19.41(a) of the GEM Listing Rules, a circular containing, inter alia, further details of the Acquisition is required to be despatched to all the Shareholders within 15 business days after the publication of this announcement. As the Company requires additional time for compiling the information to be included in the circular pursuant to the requirements of the GEM Listing Rules, the Company will apply to the Stock Exchange for a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 19.41(a) of the GEM Listing Rules. The Company will publish an announcement in relation to the despatch of the circular as and when appropriate.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of building protection works and supply of building protection products.

The existing warehouse of the Group in Hong Kong is a leased property and is subject to the certain risks associated with the leased property, such as early termination or non-renewal of the tenancy agreement by the landlord and possible increase in rental expenses. In addition, the Group maintains certain level of stock at third party warehousing facilities in Hong Kong. To cope with the business development of the Group, the Company seeks a larger premises to secure more spacious area for its machinery and goods storage.

Having considered, among others, (i) the Acquisition is for the long-term establishment of a stabilised premises that could consolidate the Group’s stock in one property; (ii) the Group can eliminate the rental cost of the leased warehouse as well as any renovation expenses, time costs and efforts that would have been incurred for relocation; and (iii) the Property will be used as the Group’s self-owned premises not only for storage but also testing of building protection products which would improve the efficiency of its operation, the Directors consider that the Acquisition is beneficial to the Group.

The Property will remain as an asset of the Group in the balance sheet and it will be refurbished after delivery of vacant possession by the Vendor upon expiry of the Lease on 31 December 2021.

After taking into account the above factors, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Preliminary Sale and Purchase Agreement (including the Consideration) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable, and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
