FURTHER INFORMATION ON COMPLETION OF THE PLACING

As disclosed in the Announcement, if any of the conditions in the Placing Agreements has not been fulfilled on or before 11 January 2020 (or such other date as the Placees may agree with the Company, the "Long Stop Date"), the obligations of the Company and the Placees under the Placing Agreements shall cease and terminate. The Long Stop Date was determined taking into account, among other things, the consideration that (i) it is expected to be time-consuming for the Placees to open bank account in Hong Kong due to onerous anti-money laundering measures taken by the banks in Hong Kong; and (ii) it is expected to be time-consuming for the Placees to remit funds in Renminbi from mainland China to Hong Kong into Hong Kong dollars due to the foreign exchange administrative measures in mainland China. As the Long Stop Date will increase the certainty of successful closing of the Placing, the Directors are of the view that the Long Stop Date is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As per the Placing Agreements, completion of the Placing shall take place on the third Business Day immediately after the fulfilment of the conditions in the Placing Agreements or such other date as the Company and the Placees may agree. Based on the existing overall situations, the Company anticipates that completion will take place on or before 31 December 2019. Further announcement will be made by the Company in relation to the completion of the Placing.

FURTHER DETAILS ON THE RATIONALE OF THE PLACING AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Company has carefully considered and reviewed its existing financial resources. As at 31 October 2019, the cash and bank balances of the Group amounted to approximately RMB1.35 billion, of which RMB1.18 billion has been set aside for the following use:

  1. approximately RMB0.30 billion held by the Group has been budgeted for developing Guangxi Biological Technology Food Industry Park* (廣西生物技術食品工業園) and Zhangzhou Biological Technology Food Industry Park* (漳州生物技術食品工業園), and is expected to be utilized by 31 December 2020;
  2. approximately RMB0.18 billion has been set aside for potential equity acquisition, and is expected to be utilized by 31 January 2020;
  3. approximately RMB0.20 billion has been budgeted for ongoing projects involving Canadian Milk Manufacturing Inc., and is expected to be utilized by 31 January 2020;
  4. approximately RMB0.40 billion has been set aside as working capital for daily operations, taking into account the Group's average monthly cash outflow from operating activities (being approximately RMB0.10 billion) and the repayment cycles of most of the Group's customers (exceeding 60 days); and
  5. approximately RMB0.10 billion has been set aside for repayment of bank loans.

- 4 -

Accordingly, only RMB0.17 billion is immediately deployable by the Company.

In light of the above and in consideration of the considerations as disclosed in the Announcement, the Directors are of the view that the Placing represents a fair and reasonable means to raise additional funds, and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As disclosed in the Announcement, the gross proceeds of the Placing will be approximately HK$67,017,727.602, comprising of :

  1. HK$6,838,543.586 payable by each of Xiao Fenghai, Cai Yang, Chen Yumei, Zhu Yufang and Yang Yixuan; and
  2. HK$16,412,504.836 payable by each of Heshuo Investment and Huipenghu.

Among the HK$66,517,727.602 of net proceeds from the Placing, (i) approximately HK$30,000,000 will be allocated for developing and promoting the Group's overseas healthy food business, covering salary expenses, office rentals, business trip expenses, legal expenses and other professional expenses; (ii) approximately HK$20,000,000 will be allocated for developing the Group's international trading business, covering the expenses on domestic and overseas trade exhibitions, exhibition-related services, brand management services, and inspection and assessment of upstream suppliers; and (iii) approximately HK$16,517,727.602 will be allocated for advertising and promoting the Group's healthcare products.

As completion of the Placing is subject to fulfilment of the conditions as set out in the Placing Agreements, the Placing may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
