DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION DISPOSAL OF THE ENTIRE ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL OF THE SUBSIDIARY OF THE COMPANY
THE DISPOSAL
The Board announces that on 18 February 2019, after trading hours, the Purchaser and the Company, as the Vendor, entered into the SPA, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase, the entire issued share capital of the Target Company at the total Consideration of HK$10,000,000.

INTRODUCTION
The Board hereby announces that on 15 February 2019, after trading hours of the Stock Exchange, the Company, being the Vendor, entered into the SPA with the Purchaser pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, and the Purchaser agreed to purchase, the entire issued share capital of the Target Company at the Consideration of HK$10,000,000.

THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT
The principal terms of the SPA are set out below:
Date
18 February 2019 (after trading hours)
Parties
-
(i) Purchaser: Hong Kong Men’s Health Sciences Research Center Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability
-
(ii) Vendor: Million Stars Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability and the Shares of which are listed on GEM of the Stock Exchange (Stock Code: 8093)
To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the date of this announcement, the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons as defined under the GEM Listing Rules.
The Disposal
100% of the entire issued share capital of the Target Company to be sold by the Vendor to the Purchaser pursuant to the SPA. Upon completion, the Company will no longer have any interest in the Target Company and the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.
Consideration
The Consideration is HK$10,000,000 payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor in cash before the Completion in accordance with the SPA.
The Consideration was arrived based on normal commercial terms after arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendor after taking into consideration of various factors, including (i) the reasons for and the benefits of the Disposal as mentioned in the section headed ‘‘Reasons for and Benefits of the Disposal’’ in this announcement; (ii) the current financial position of the Target Group; and (iii) the Waiver of Inter-company Loan.
The Directors consider that the Consideration is fair and reasonable.
Completion
Completion shall take place on or before 28 February 2019 or such other date as the Company and the Purchaser may agree.
– 2 –
At Completion, the Company shall execute and deliver a deed of waiver in favour of the Target Group for irrevocably and unconditionally waiving the inter-company loan amounting to approximately HK$19.7 million as at 31 December 2018 owed by the Target Group to the Company.
Termination
The SPA may be unilaterally terminated by the Vendor if the Purchaser fails to pay the Consideration in full to the Vendor on or before 28 February 2019.
FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL
With the Waiver of the Inter-company Loan of approximately HK$19.7 million and based on the unaudited net liabilities of the Target Group of approximately HK$8.6 million as at 31 December 2018, the Company is expected to record a loss of approximately HK$1.1 million (before taxation and subject to audit) from the Disposal, which the final financial effect of the Disposal on the Group will be subject to the values of assets and liabilities of the Target Group at Completion and therefore, may vary from the current estimate.
The actual loss on disposal to be recorded is subject to audit and may be different from the estimated amount as the actual loss will depend on, amongst other factors, the actual net assets of the Target Group as at Completion.
After Completion, the Target Group will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company and, as a result, the results and assets and liabilities of the Target Group will no longer be consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE DISPOSAL
Proceeds of the Disposal are intended for general working capital purposes of the Group.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
The profit generated from the Target Group is declining as a result of unfavourable market conditions and price competition in the relevant industry, and the business of the Target Group was stagnant since the first quarter in 2018/2019. The Target Group recorded a net loss HK$1.8 million in six months ended 31 December 2018, it may continue to incur loss in foreseeable future. Due to the net liability position of the Target Group (before the Waiver of Inter-Company Loan), the Purchaser would only purchase the Target Group providing that the Inter-Company Loan is waived. As the Group is able to dispose of the Target Group for cash in a simple and timely way compared to the time and cost required for the business of the Target Group, the Disposal is a good opportunity of the Group to evade its loss making towards the manufacture and sales of leather products business and consolidate its financial resources for future business development. The Disposal represents a continuation of the Group’s strategy to strip slow-growing or loss-making business, streamline its businesses and increase its overall performance and prospects.
– 3 –
Based on the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms and conditions of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
