REASONS FOR THE ACQUISITIONS

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of network solutions and project services and property investment business.

The Directors therefore consider that the Acquisitions by the Company are in line with the business strategy of the Group by strengthening the Group’s property portfolio. After completion of the Acquisitions, the Group will continue to lease out the Properties A and the Properties B for rental income. The Directors further believe that the return of the industrial and residential property markets in Hong Kong will remain healthy. Besides the steady flow of rental income, the Acquisitions would offer capital appreciation potential to the Group.

The Properties A and Properties B are located in Hong Kong and will generate or continue generating steady rental income to the Group. After taking into account the fair value of the Properties A and Properties B, the rental income to be generated and the potential growth in value of the Properties A and Properties B, the Directors consider that the Acquisitions and the transactions contemplated under the Agreements have been made on normal commercial terms and that such terms (including the Consideration A and the Consideration B) are fair and reasonable and that the Acquisitions and the transactions contemplated under the Agreements are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the relevant percentage ratios for the Acquisitions aggregately calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules are more than 5% but less than 25%, the Acquisitions in aggregate constitute a discloseable transaction on the part of the Company under the Listing Rules.
