DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION RELATING TO THE EXTENSION OF LOAN

THE SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

Further to the announcements of the Company dated 29 October 2019, 30 October 2019 and 14 May 2021 in relation to, among others, the Previous Loan, on 29 July 2021 (after trading hours), the Lender, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into the Second Supplemental Agreement with the Borrowers, pursuant to which the Lender has agreed to extend the repayment date of the Previous Loan for another 3 months.

THE LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Second Supplemental Agreement exceeds 5% but are below 25%, the entering into of the Second Supplemental Agreement constitutes a disclosable transaction of the Company under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.

THE SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 29 October 2019, 30 October 2019 and 14 May 2021, in relation to, among others, the Previous Loan. At the request of the Borrowers, the Lender, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has entered into the Second Supplemental Agreement with the Borrowers on 29 July 2021(after trading hours). Pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement, the parties thereto agreed that the repayment date of the Previous Loan shall be extended for 3 months from the 28 July 2021 to 27 October 2021.

The terms of the Second Supplemental Agreement were determined at after arm’s length negotiations between the Lender and the Borrowers and were the same as the First Supplemental Agreement.

The Directors, having considered the current market norm of interest rates in relation to similar transactions and the expected revenue to be generated to the Group, consider that the transactions contemplated under the Second Supplemental Agreement is on normal commercial terms and the terms of the Second Supplemental Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND THE LENDER

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group’s principal activity is the provision of property construction services in Hong Kong.

The Lender is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

INFORMATION ON THE BORROWERS

The Borrowers are the former directors of a subsidiary company of our Group, which has been disposed on 29 December 2020. Since the subsidiary company is an insignificant subsidiary (as defined under Rule 20.08 of GEM Listing Rules), where the subsidiary company’s total assets, profits and revenue compared to that Group are less than:

(a) 10% under the percentage ratios for each of the latest three financial years (or if less, the period since the incorporation or establishment of the subsidiary); or

(b) 5% under the percentage ratios for the latest financial year.

The Borrowers are therefore deemed not to be a connected person under GEM Listing Rule. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Borrowers is an Independent Third Party of the Company and its connected person of the Company.

The Borrowers are merchant and are the major land owner at D.D. 271 Sai Kung, New Territories, Hong Kong and holding about 330,000 square feet of land in the area.

REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO THE SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

As explained by the Borrowers, due to the COVID-19, their cashflow has been delayed and therefore requesting for an extension of repayment of under the First Supplemental Agreement. After arm’s length negotiation, the Borrowers agreed to pay an interest rate of 6% per annum (3% per annum in the Previous Loan). The Borrowers have represented to the Lender that they are arranging term loans from another lenders to repay the Previous Loan, which is expected to be approved and drawdown within the extended repayment period. The Board considers that legal actions is not appropriate at this stage as it involves a lot of legal costs and time. Having considered the asset backing of the Borrowers and the additional interest, the Board considers that the extension of loan would enable the Group to generate a higher rate of interest income as compared to short-term deposits in banks and thus maximize the Group’s return and generate stable revenue, and the risk of extension of the loan under the Second Supplementary Agreement is low.

The Group has adequate cash reserve for its operation and the extension of repayment date of the loan will not create any risk exposure on the operation of the Group.

THE GEM LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Second Supplemental Agreements exceeds 5% but is below 25%, the entering into of the Second Supplemental Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company and is subject to reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 19 of the GEM Listing Rules.
