PROVISION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

LOAN AGREEMENT

The Board announces that on 4 April 2014, the Loan Agreement was entered into between Fortune Finance, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company as lender, the Borrower and certain guarantors, pursuant to which, Fortune Finance agreed to provide the Loan in an aggregate principal amount of up to HK$40,000,000, consisting of two tranches of HK$20,000,000 each, to the Borrower for a term of 180 days.

As the amount of the financial assistance granted to the Borrower was more than 8% under the assets ratio as defined under Rule 13.13 of the Listing Rules, the grant of the Loan is also subject to the general disclosure obligations under Rule 13.15 of the Listing Rules.

Funding of the Loan

Information of the Group

The Group’s principal activities are securities and insurance brokerage, margin financing, provision of corporate finance services and money leading services. Fortune Finance, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a money lender licenced in Hong Kong under the provisions of the Money Lenders Ordinance (Chapter 163 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

Reasons for and benefits of the Loan Agreement

The terms of the Loan Agreement were negotiated on an arm’s length basis between the parties to the Loan Agreement. The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Loan Agreement were entered into on normal commercial terms. The making of the Loan is collaterised and the Directors consider that the collateral provided by the Borrower under the Loan is sufficient and in line with market practice. By taking into account that a stable revenue and cashflow stream from the interest income is expected, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Loan Agreement and the entering into of the Loan Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The granting of the Loan is a financial assistance provided by the Company within the meaning of the Listing Rules.

As the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the amount of financial assistance granted to the Borrower were more than 5% but less than 25%, the Loan granted under the Loan Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.

As the amount of the financial assistance granted to the Borrower was more than 8% under the assets ratio as defined under Rule 13.13 of the Listing Rules, the grant of the Loan is also subject to the general disclosure obligations under Rule 13.15 of the Listing Rules.
