REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO THE AMENDMENT DEED AND THE CB EXTENSION

Tranche 2 CB of the Convertible Bonds was due on 28 June 2020. The proposed amendment to extend the maturity date of the Tranche 2 CB can relieve the imminent need of the Company to repay Tranche 2 CB of the Convertible Bonds (in case Tranche 2 CB of the Convertible Bonds remains outstanding as at its original maturity date), which in turn, can retain appropriate level of funds for its business development and general working capital of the Group.

In light of the above, the Board (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will opine after taking into account the opinions from the Independent Financial Adviser) considers that although the CB Extension contemplated under the Amendment Deed is not entered in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, the CB Extension contemplated under the Amendment Deed was arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and Riverhead Capital and the Board (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will opine after taking into account the opinions from the Independent Financial Adviser) considers that the CB Extension contemplated under the Amendment Deed is on normal commercial terms, is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors who will opine after taking into account the opinions from the Independent Financial Adviser) are of the view that the CB Extension will not pose any significant impact on the operations of the Group.

Since Mr. Xie is the controlling shareholder and sole director of Riverhead Capital and is considered to have a material interest in the transactions contemplated under the Amendment Deed and the proposed grant of the Specific Mandate, he has abstained from voting on the board resolution for approving the CB Extension contemplated under the Amendment Deed and the proposed grant of the Specific Mandate. Save as disclosed above, none of the Directors has a material interest in the CB Extension contemplated under the Amendment Deed and the proposed grant of the Specific Mandate or should abstain from voting in respect of the relevant board resolutions.
