The Board wishes to announce that on 5 October 2016 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Purchaser, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Agreement with the Vendors whereby the Vendors agreed to sell and assign and the Purchaser agreed to purchase the Sale Shares and the Sale Loans at the total consideration of HK$62,360,000 (subject to adjustments).
