DISPOSAL OF ESCROWED SHARES

On 20 September 2019 (after trading hours), the Company (acting as the lawful attorney of the Vendor) and the Purchaser entered into the Share Disposal Agreement pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase 19,531,250 Escrowed Shares at the Disposal Price of HK$0.19 per Share.

The gross and net proceeds from the Share Disposal will be approximately HK$3.71 million and HK$3.6 million, respectively. Under the terms of the Deed of Undertaking, since the Second PG is not satisfied in full, the Company is entitled to sell the 19,531,250 Escrowed Shares and to retain the entire sale proceeds of the Escrowed Shares as liquidated damages.

BACKGROUND RELATING TO THE ESCROWED SHARES

References are made to the Company's announcements dated 28 November 2017, 31 January 2018, 10 September 2018, 29 March 2019 and 29 August 2019 in relation to the Charm Eastern Acquisition, the Deed of Undertaking and the determination of the profit guarantees undertaken by the Vendor.

Under the terms of the Deed of Undertaking, since the Second PG is not satisfied in full, the Company is entitled to sell the 19,531,250 Escrowed Shares and to retain the entire sale proceeds of the Escrowed Shares as liquidated damages. On 20 September 2019 (after trading hours), the Company (acting as the lawful attorney of the Vendor) and the Purchaser entered into the Share Disposal Agreement pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase 19,531,250 Escrowed Shares at the Disposal Price of HK$0.19 per Share.

THE SHARE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT

Date

20 September 2019 (after trading hours)

Parties

  1. the Company; and
  2. the Purchaser.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser is a third party independent of and not connected with the Company and its connected persons and associates (as such terms are defined in the Listing Rules), and was interested in 17,430,000 Shares (representing approximately 1.18% of the total issued Shares as at the date of this announcement), before entering into the Share Disposal Agreement.

The Disposal Shares

Under the terms of the Share Disposal Agreement, the Purchaser agreed to purchase the 19,531,250 Escrowed Shares at the Disposal Price of HK$0.19 per Share. The 19,531,250 Escrowed Shares represents approximately 1.33% of the issued share capital of the Company of 1,473,266,145 Shares as at the date of this announcement. The Disposal Shares rank and will continue to rank equally in all respects among themselves and with the Shares in issue and on the date of completion of the Share Disposal.

Disposal Price

The Disposal Price of HK$0.19 per Share was determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company (acting as lawful attorney of the Vendor) and the Purchaser, with reference to, among other things, the recent trading price of the Shares. The Disposal Price represents:

  1. a nil premium/discount over/to the closing price of HK$0.19 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the Share Disposal Agreement; and
  2. a discount of approximately 2.53% to the average closing price of approximately HK$0.1948 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days of the Shares immediately prior to the date of the Share Disposal Agreement.

Completion of the Share Disposal

Completion of the Share Disposal shall take place on or before 11 October 2019 (or such later date as may be agreed between the Purchaser and the Company).

Termination of the Share Disposal Agreement

If it is found before completion of the Share Disposal Agreement that any matter or thing has occurred which constituted a material breach of, or is materially inconsistent with, any of the representations and warranties given by the Vendor in the Share Disposal Agreement, the Purchaser shall be entitled by notice in writing to the Company to terminate the Share Disposal Agreement without liability on its part and without prejudice to any rights which it may have in respect of the breach by the Vendor.

REASONS FOR THE SHARE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS

As disclosed in the Company's announcement dated 29 August 2019, due to the small sale proceeds of the Escrowed Shares of under HK$4 million based on the prevailing market price of the Shares, the Company cannot finalize any placing arrangement with independent placing agents to place the Escrowed Shares with a low percentage of placing commission which is acceptable to the Company.

The gross and net proceeds from the Share Disposal will be approximately HK$3.71 million and HK$3.6 million, respectively. It is in the best interest of the Company to enforce its contractual right under the Deed of Undertaking and the profit guarantees by selling the 19,531,250 Escrowed Shares and retaining the entire sale proceeds of the Escrowed Shares as liquidated damages.

The terms of the Share Disposal Agreement (including the Disposal Price) were determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company (acting as lawful attorney of the Vendor) and the Purchaser with reference to, among other things, the recent trading price of the Shares on the Stock Exchange. As the overall arrangements contemplated under the Share Disposal Agreement are generally in line with the arrangements under a general mandate placing of new shares by a listed issuer, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Share Disposal Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
