REASONS FOR AND THE BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION AND THE PREVIOUS ACQUISITION
The Directors are of the view that the interest rate of both the Subscription and the Previous Acquisition is generally higher than the interest rates of the Hong Kong-dollar fixed deposits offered by well-recognised financial institutions in Hong Kong. As such, the Directors consider that both the Subscription and the Previous Acquisition would provide the Group with a stable return under the present economic environment. Having compared the terms of the Notes with those issued by other corporations in the same industry and similar rating, the Directors consider that both the Subscription and the Previous Acquisition are fair and reasonable and are in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
Both the Subscription and the Previous Acquisition have been funded by internal resources of the Company.
