3. THE LIQUIDATION AGREEMENT

A summary of the principal terms and conditions of the Liquidation Agreement is set out below:

Date

7 November 2022

Parties

  • (i) Bright Global (as the lessee of the Original Land Lease Agreement); and

  • (ii) Hoa Phu (as the lessor of the Original Land Lease Agreement).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Acecook is a company incorporated in Vietnam with limited liability and is principally engaged in processing and sales of instant noodles and other food products in Vietnam. Acecook is owned as to 56.6% by Acecook Co., Ltd, a company incorporated in Japan. In particular, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge and information, Acecook Co., Ltd. is a company with long history and is well known for its products such as instant noodles and soups, which are widely available in many countries. According to their official website (https://www.acecook.co.jp/company/outline/), they have extensive operations in Japan and other countries with more than 6,800 employees as at 31 December 2021 and a total sales of approximately 87.9 billion yen for the year ended 31 December 2021. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, Acecook and its ultimate beneficial owner are third parties independent of the Group and its connected persons.

5. REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE TRANSFER

The Land, together with another smaller parcel of land, was acquired from Hoa Phu in November 2018 for the Group’s expansion plan in Vietnam (on top of its existing two production facilities in Vietnam) according to its then direction to relocate its major production facility from Mainland China to Southeast Asia countries so as to raise production capacity and reduce operating costs. However, due to the ongoing uncertain operating environment since acquisition, such as the China-US trade disputes in 2019 and the global economic downturn since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020, the extent of increase in orders from the customers of the Group was not as high as expected. Therefore, the Group decided to uphold the expansion plan of the production facilities in Vietnam until the operating environment becomes more stable, and will continue to rely on its existing production facilities for its manufacturing business. Hence, the two parcels of land are yet to be developed. The Board believes that the crisis in Ukraine, the lingering effects of COVID-19 and the changing monetary and fiscal responses to these events have presented a set of risks to the global market in 2022 and near future. As it is difficult for the Group to ascertain the impacts of these events towards the Group at the moment, the Board has decided to adopt a more prudent approach when determining the development plan for its two parcels of land in Vinh Long Province, Vietnam.

The Board considers that the Transfer (being the larger piece of land among the two parcels of land owned by the Group) would represent a good opportunity to realise the value of Land at a gain immediately and provide the Group with a cash inflow which will further improve the financial position of the Group.

In addition, the Board is of the view that the Transfer is fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms or better and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. None of the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) has a material interest in the Transfer.

After the Transfer, the Board will continue to monitor the global market conditions and the need of the Group in order to determine the direction of handling the smaller parcel of land owned by the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE TRANSFER AND INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS

The carrying value of the Land as shown in the unaudited consolidated account of the Company as at 31 October 2022 was approximately HK$32,491,000. The Group is expected to recognise a gain (after taxation) of approximately HK$42,000,000 from the Transfer, being the difference between the Liquidation Value and the carrying value of the Land as at 31 October 2022 after related expenses. The expected gain has not yet been audited or reviewed by the auditor of the Company.

It is estimated that the net proceeds (after taxation) from the Transfer (after deduction of tax, legal fees and ancillary expenses) would be approximately HK$74,000,000. The Group intends to use the net proceeds from the Transfer as general working capital for the daily operation of its existing production facilities in Vietnam or for future investment opportunities should such opportunities arise. The Group expects that the net proceeds from the Transfer will be fully utilised by the Group within one year upon the receipt of full Liquidation Value from Hoa Phu.

7. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Transfer exceed 25%, but are all less than 75%, the Transfer constitutes a major transaction of the Company is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Transfer.

The Company has received a written approval of the Transfer by the Controlling Shareholder, which holds 743,769,967 Shares, representing approximately 57.91% of the total issued Shares as at the date of the Latest Practicable Date. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, no general meeting of the Company will be convened for the purpose of approving the Transfer.

8. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Transfer is fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the Transfer if it had been necessary to hold a general meeting for such purpose.

In accordance with instruction from Win Hanverky Holdings Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) for us to carry out a valuation of property interest located at Lot II-4, Hoa Phu Industrial Park, Phuoc Hoa Hamlet, Hoa Phu Commune, Long Ho District, Vinh Long Province, Vietnam (the ‘‘Property’’) leased by Bright Global (Vinh Long) Garment Factory Company Limited, we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the Property as at 7 November 2022 (the ‘‘Date of Valuation’’).

Valuation Basis, Assumptions and Methodology

Our valuation is prepared in accordance with the ‘‘HKIS Valuation Standards 2020’’ published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (the ‘‘HKIS’’), the ‘‘RICS Valuation, Global Standards 2022’’ of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (the ‘‘RICS’’) Valuation Standards and the ‘‘International Valuation Standards 2022’’ published by the International Valuation Standards Council (the ‘‘IVSC’’) subject to variation to meet local established law. Unless otherwise stated, our valuation is undertaken as External Valuers as defined in the relevant Valuation Standards.

APPENDIX II

VALUATION REPORT OF THE LAND

Our valuations are made on the basis of market value which is defined by the International Valuation Standards and followed by the HKIS and RICS to mean ‘‘the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.’’

We have also complied with all the requirements contained in the Companies Ordinance, Chapter 5, Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the ‘‘Listing Rules’’).

The term ‘Market Value’ as used in the context of this valuation is defined as intended to mean ‘‘the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.’’ Market Value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the owner sells the property on the open market without the benefit or burden of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which would serve to affect the values of the property.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages, or amounts owing neither on the property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property was free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.

We have valued the Property as a single property interest and 100% of the property interest and not the ownership of companies or the shares within each.

Our valuation is current as at the Date of Valuation only. The value assessed may change significantly and unexpectedly over a relatively short period (including as a result of general market movements or factors specific to the particular property). We do not accept liability for losses arising from such subsequent changes in value.

We have valued the Property by the Direct Comparison Approach on the assumption that it can be sold in its existing state. Comparison is based on prices realized on actual transactions and/or asking prices of comparable properties. Comparable properties with similar sizes, characteristics and locations are analyzed, and carefully weighed against all respective advantages and disadvantages of each property in order to arrive at a fair comparison of value.

Value-added tax and other service taxes have not been considered for the purpose of the valuation exercise, either at the construction or operation stage.
