DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION

DISPOSAL OF SENIOR NOTES

THE DISPOSAL

The Board announces that between 4 September 2020 and 14 September 2020, TCF, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, disposed of the Senior Notes with an aggregate nominal value of US$3,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$23,250,000) in the secondary market at the aggregate consideration of approximately US$3,290,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$25,497,000).

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but is exempt from Shareholders' approval requirement, under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

INFORMATION OF THE COUNTERPARTY

As the Disposal was made on open market, the Company is not aware of the identities of the buyers of the Senior Notes. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the buyers of the Senior Notes and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties.

BASIS OF DETERMINATION OF THE CONSIDERATION

Since the Disposal was conducted through open market at the prevailing market price, the Directors consider that the respective considerations for the transactions under the Disposal are fair and reasonable.

2

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Group is principally engaged in ports and infrastructure development and investment, and the operation of ports and logistics facilities, in the Yangtze River region of China. The Group is also engaged in land and property development and investment in association with ports and infrastructure development, as well as securities trading and investment, and provision of loan financing activities. In addition, the Group provides comprehensive engineering and property-related services through Paul Y. Engineering Group Limited, an associate of which the Company indirectly owns 48.23% equity interest.

TCF, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, was incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong with limited liability. The principal businesses of TCF are provision of credit services and securities trading and investment.

The Disposal is in alignment with the Group's principal business in securities trading and investments and the Directors consider that the Disposal is a good opportunity for the Group to realise a reasonable gain in its investment. The Directors therefore consider that the Disposal is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As the Disposal was conducted through open market, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

It is expected that the Group will record a realised gain on fair value change of investments in debt instruments held for trading of approximately US$474,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$3,674,000) for the financial year ending 31 March 2021 as a result of the Disposal, subject to auditors' review.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The proceeds from the Disposal, which are approximately US$3,290,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$25,497,000), will be used for reinvestment in the securities trading and investment business and/or as general working capital of the Group.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but is exempt from Shareholders' approval requirement, under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
