CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS
IN RELATION TO TENANCY AGREEMENTS
RENEWAL OF THE EXISTING TENANCY AGREEMENTS
Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 25 March 2020 and 31 March 2020 in relation to the Existing Tenancy Agreements.
As the Existing Tenancy Agreements will expire on 31 March 2021, the Board announces that, on 29 March 2021, Microware HK, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as tenant entered into (i) the Residential Tenancy Agreement with Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang as landlords, in respect of the leasing of the Residential Premises and the Car Parking Space for a term of one year commencing on 1 April 2021 and expiring on 31 March 2022; and (ii) the Office Tenancy Agreement with Microware Properties as landlord in respect of the leasing of the Office Premises for a term of one year commencing on 1 April 2021 and expiring on 31 March 2022.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
Mr. Yang is an executive Director and a controlling shareholder of the Company. Mrs. Yang is the spouse and thus an associate of Mr. Yang. Microware Properties is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Microware International, which is in turn wholly-owned by Mr. Yang. Accordingly, each of Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang and Microware Properties is a connected person of the Company.
The entering into of the Tenancy Agreements constitutes a lease modification under HKFRS 16 and therefore the Group, as tenant, shall recognise the leases under the Tenancy Agreements as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the consolidated statement of the financial position of the Group. Accordingly, the entering into of Tenancy Agreements is regarded as an acquisition of assets under the Listing Rules and thus the transactions contemplated under the Tenancy Agreements are connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
The value of right-of-use assets recognised under the Residential Tenancy Agreement and the Office Tenancy Agreement shall be approximately HK$960,000 and HK$6,427,080, respectively. Since each of the applicable percentage ratios (other than the profits ratio) for the Tenancy Agreements on an aggregated basis is expected to be more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the transactions contemplated under the Tenancy Agreements on an aggregated basis are subject to the reporting, annual review and announcement requirements but exempt from the independent Shareholders' approval requirement under Rule 14A.76(2) of the Listing Rules.
