Save as disclosed above, there has not been any other equity fund raising activity during the past twelve months immediately before the date of this announcement.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is principally engaged in securities and insurance brokerage and margin financing in Hong Kong. As bank lending in the PRC is not able to satisfy the increasing financing requirements of small and medium enterprises in the PRC, there has been significant development in alternative financing markets that are complementary to traditional bank lending in the PRC. It has led to the development of a more diversified domestic financing market platform, which has resulted in favourable market opportunities for the further development of the finance leasing industry in the PRC.

The Directors consider that the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement allows the Group to extend its scope of business to prepare itself to become a full range financial services provider. The Acquisition is in line with the existing principal business of the Group. The Directors believe that the Acquisition provides an opportunity for the Group to enter into the finance leases business in the PRC, which would also provide an additional income source for the Group. The Directors also consider that the Acquisition is an appropriate strategic expansion for and beneficial to the Group.

By leveraging on the expertise of Rongtong in operating finance leasing business in the PRC, the Directors believe that the Target Company (through its subsidiaries) is well-positioned to capture the business opportunities emerging from the great demand for finance leasing and related services in the PRC.

The Directors, including all the independent non-executive Directors, consider that the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Shareholders’ Agreement are on normal commercial terms, and the terms of which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
