INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND THE TARGET COMPANIES
The Company is an investment holding company. The Group is principally engaged in the provision of building consultancy services, contracting business, project management, and provision of financial information and technology services to individuals in the People's Republic of China.
Target Company 1 is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is principally engaged in the provision of design, supply and installation services for façade works and curtain wall work solutions.
Target Company 2 is an indirect non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is principally engaged in the provision of supply and install services of piling connectors on steel casting and the supply of drilling tools.
Upon completion of Disposals, the Group will no longer hold any interest in each of the Target Companies and each of the Target Companies will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.
INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASERS
Each of the Purchasers is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands. Each of Purchasers is principally engaged in investment holding.
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Purchasers and its ultimate beneficial owners are independent of, and not acting in concert with the Company and connected persons of the Company.
USE OF PROCEEDS
As disclosed in the announcement of the Company on 17 July 2020, the financing banks of the Group have adopted strengthened credit measures on the Group and tightened the credit control over the Group thereby having substantial impact on the operation of the contracting and consulting services. It is expected that the proceeds from the Disposals will be used as general working capital of the Group and to ease the cash flow pressure of the contracting and consulting services. However, as the Company is in the course of preparing its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2020 which is expected to be published by end of August 2020, the Board is still reviewing the Group's ability to continue as going concern notwithstanding the Disposals. Further announcements will be made if and when appropriate.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As all of the applicable percentage ratios for each of the Disposals are less than 5%, each of the Disposals does not constitute a notifiable transaction under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. This announcement is made on voluntary basis.
