REASONS FOR AND THE BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Board has endeavoured in exploring opportunities for potential investments with a view to generating revenue and achieving better return for its Shareholders. As the Notes carry an annual coupon rate of 6.5%, the Board considers that the Acquisition provides a reasonable investment return and continuous cash inflow to the Company. The total consideration in respect of the Acquisition will be funded by (i) internal resources of the Group; and (ii) bank borrowing.

Taking into account the above, the Board considers that the terms and conditions of the Notes and the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
