REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Group is principally engaged in the trading of pharmaceutical products in the PRC.

The Group expects to recognise an unaudited gain of approximately HK$10.81 million from the Disposal, being the difference between the Consideration, and the original acquisition cost and the estimated expenses in connection with the Disposal. The actual gain or loss in connection with the Disposal will be assessed after completion and is subject to audit.

The Directors expect that the net proceeds from the Disposal, after deducting the expenses directly attributable thereto, will be approximately HK$44.17 million, which will be used for general working capital of the Group. The Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Group to realise its investment in the Target Shares and to enhance the liquidity of the Group.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Disposal under the Offer (including the Consideration) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal is more than 5% but less than 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
