To the SinCo Shareholders

TO ACQUIRE ALL THE ISSUED SHARES OF

THE SINCERE COMPANY, LIMITED

On 28 April 2021, all the Pre-Conditions have been fulfilled or waived (as the case may be). The Offer is being made by Realord Asia Pacific for and on behalf of the Offeror in compliance with the Takeovers Code. For further details of the Offer, please refer to the ''Letter from Realord Asia Pacific'' in this Offer Document.

2 MERITS OF THE OFFER

We present below the merits of the Offer and intention of the Offeror on the SinCo Group for the SinCo Shareholders to consider the Offer, based on information available as at the Latest Practicable Date. It is the Offeror's intention to preserve the brand heritage of "Sincere (先施)" and rally the department store operations on the platform of the Realord Group, to support the operation and improve the liquidity position of the SinCo Group, to enhance the diversity of the Sincere Board and senior management for long-term growth and to retain talents of the SinCo Group. The Offeror will also make any changes it deems necessary or appropriate to Sincere's business and operations to enhance the value of Sincere and strengthen its revenue. The Offeror will also closely follow any subsequent developments that may significantly impact the SinCo Group, and may revisit and adjust its intentions and plans where appropriate.

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

2.1 To preserve the brand heritage of ''Sincere (先施)'' and rally the department store operations on the platform of the Realord Group

The SinCo Group has been loss making for years. For the three years ended 28 February 2018, 28 February 2019 and 29 February 2020, the SinCo Group recorded losses attributable to its equity holders of approximately HK$90.5 million, HK$132.1 million and HK$147.4 million respectively. With reference to Sincere's interim report for the six months ended 31 August 2020, the department store operation of the SinCo Group was further dampened during the first half of 2020 by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. With regard to market statistics on department store operations in 2020, as announced by The Census and Statistics Department on 2 February 2021, the value of total retail sales for 2020 as a whole was estimated at approximately HK$326.5 billion, representing a drop of approximately 24.3% in value as compared with 2019. In particular, certain types of retail outlets were severely affected, the value of sales of commodities in department stores dropped by approximately 18.3%, jewellery, watches and clocks, and valuable gifts dropped by approximately 40.8%, wearing apparel dropped by approximately 27.8% and medicines and cosmetics dropped by approximately 40.9%.

The Offeror, however, considers that the ''Sincere (先施)'' brand, with a history of more than 120 years in Hong Kong, is a valuable legacy that should be preserved and can be leveraged for future development of the Realord Group after the close of the Offer. The Offeror intends to rally the Sincere's department store operations by establishing a flagship store using Sincere's brand (the ''Realord Flagship Store'') in the ''Realord Mall (偉祿購物中心)'', which is part of ''Realord Villas (偉祿雅苑)'' located in Longhua District of Shenzhen, the PRC. The Realord Mall is designed as a large-scaleall-in-one shopping mall with a gross floor area of approximately 51,039 sq.m. integrating local amenities, entertainment and leisure, parent-child education, and specialty food and beverage experience. Signed tenants currently include renowned supermarket, chained convenience stores, restaurants, pharmacy stores and laundry shops. It is conveniently located less than 100 metres away from the High-tech Zone East Station of Shenzhen Tram which is connected to Shenzhen Metro Line 4 recently in operation in October 2020.

It is expected that the Realord Flagship Store will occupy a gross floor area of approximately 1,000 sq.m. in the Realord Mall and will primarily focus on the sale of imported branded goods and products targeting the niche market of middle-class customers. Leveraging on the existing platform and resources of the Realord Group, the Realord Group is confident about the future development of the department store operations of Sincere after it taking over control and management of Sincere.

2.2 To support the operation and improve the liquidity position of the SinCo Group

As set out in the interim report of Sincere for the six months ended 31 August 2020, the SinCo Group recorded cash and bank balances of approximately HK$21.0 million and net current liabilities of approximately HK$110.9 million as at 31 August 2020. Its gearing ratio was approximately 429%, with equity attributable to its equity holders amounted to approximately HK$59.3 million as at 31 August 2020.

With the aforementioned intention of the Realord Group to preserve the ''Sincere (先施)'' brand and rally the department store operations, and equity attributable to owners of approximately HK$3,505.5 million, and bank balances and cash amounting to approximately HK$1,268.3 million as at 31 December 2020 respectively, the Realord Group would be able to support the operation of and provide necessary financial support to the SinCo Group as and when necessary after it taking over control and management of Sincere.

7

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

Furthermore, the Offeror will use its best endeavours to support the new Sincere Board after the change of control to protect and safeguard the assets and interests of Sincere against the purported cancellation of the Deed by Win Dynamic relating to the gift of approximately HK$260 million irrevocably undertaken to be given by Win Dynamic to Sincere for its working capital use, further details of which are discussed in the paragraph headed ''10.5 Purported cancellation of the Deed'' in the ''Letter from Realord Asia Pacific'' in this Offer Document.

On 16 April 2021, Sincere announced that the lender (the ''Lender'') of a HK$150,000,000 loan facility (the ''HK$150 million Loan Facility'') had not granted consent for any change in the voting control of Sincere. The Offeror had made several requests to Sincere for copy of the relevant loan document(s) for the HK$150 million Loan Facility but to no avail. Therefore the Offeror has no view whether or not such consent from the Lender is indeed required under the related loan document(s). On 3 May 2021, the Offeror and Altus Capital were informed by the financial adviser of Sincere that the legal adviser of the Lender has issued a letter to Sincere that, among others, the Lender demands Sincere, as the borrower, to make a repayment of the HK$150 million Loan Facility, including the outstanding principal of HK$150,000,000 and the interest accrued on the outstanding principal for the period up to 5 May 2021 of HK$1,117,808, totaling HK$151,117,808, on 6 May 2021 before 5:00 p.m. (the ''3 May Letter''). In response to the 3 May Letter, Altus Capital had written to the financial adviser of Sincere on 3 May 2021 that the Offeror expects the Sincere Board to take all necessary actions to protect the interests of Sincere, including serious negotiation with the Lender to minimise disruptions to the business of Sincere. Sincere made an announcement in respect of the 3 May Letter on 4 May 2021. Nevertheless, the Offeror would like to assure the SinCo Shareholders and the Lender that despite the 3 May Letter or an event of default may be purportedly triggered under the terms of the debenture of the HK$150 million Loan Facility, the Offeror will, upon close of the Offer and appointment of new directors onto the Sincere Board representing a majority of the members of the Sincere Board, provide necessary financial support for repayment in full of the HK$150 million Loan Facility in order to avoid any unnecessary legal proceedings that may be instituted by the Lender against Sincere. Details of the timing of the proposed nomination onto the Sincere Board are set out in the paragraph headed ''11.1 Proposed change of the board composition and the senior management of Sincere'' in the ''Letter from Realord Asia Pacific'' in this Offer Document.

Realord remains committed to the Offer, and is confident about the future development of the department store operations after it taking over control and management of Sincere.

2.3 To enhance the diversity of the Sincere Board and senior management for long-term growth

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Sincere Board comprised one executive director, one non-executive director and four independent non-executive directors. The Offeror intends to introduce changes to the Sincere Board by appointing new Sincere Directors to the Sincere Board with a view to ensuring smooth transition of the Sincere Board and management of Sincere as well as to enhancing diversity of the Sincere Board. The proposed new Sincere Directors have a diverse background including real estate, electronics, logistics, financial services, manufacturing, department store management, and retail and food industry, as well as hands-on experience to manage listed companies. The proposed new Sincere Directors will strengthen the corporate governance of Sincere in order to enhance management transparency to all stakeholders. Details of the proposed changes in the composition of the Sincere Board and senior management are set out in the paragraph headed ''11.1 Proposed change of the board composition and the senior management of Sincere'' in the ''Letter from Realord Asia Pacific'' in this Offer Document. It is believed that

8

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

the new Sincere Board and senior management team as a whole represent a broad and experienced team equipped with necessary expertise to execute the plan that enshrines the synergy from the Realord Flagship Store to be established in the Realord Mall.

2.4 To retain the talents of the SinCo Group

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror had no intention to discontinue the employment of the employees of the SinCo Group (other than the proposed change of the Sincere Board and the senior management of Sincere as set out in the paragraph headed ''11.1 Proposed change of the board composition and the senior management of Sincere'' in the ''Letter from Realord Asia Pacific''), or to dispose of or redeploy the assets of the SinCo Group.

The Offeror acknowledges the long-term contribution by the SinCo Group's staff to its business and the Sincere brand over the years. Such skillsets and experience are valuable assets that the Offeror believes to be crucial to the SinCo Group's continued operations and business development. As such, the Offeror intends to retain such talents to continue their contribution to the SinCo Group and its stakeholders.

3 FURTHER INFORMATION ON THE INSURANCE BUSINESS OF THE SINCO GROUP

As mentioned in the announcements of Sincere dated 6 May 2019 and 22 May 2019 respectively, there were certain non-compliance incidents in relation to Sincere LA and Sincere II, including but not limited to a failure to make requisite regulatory filings and to obtain necessary consents in connection with Win Dynamic's acquisition of approximately 26.48% of the issued SinCo Shares and becoming a controller of Sincere LA and Sincere II within the meaning of section 9(1)(a)(iii)(B) of the Insurance Ordinance as a result of the completion of the rights issue of Sincere in December 2017. Sincere LA and Sincere II were required by the Insurance Authority to take appropriate remedial actions. Sincere II was subsequently required by the Insurance Authority not to effect any contracts of insurance and not to vary any contracts effected in the course of carrying on insurance business with effect from on 28 August 2020, as disclosed in the announcement of Sincere dated 28 August 2020.

The Insurance Authority also required Sincere LA and Sincere II to submit a detailed action plan and timetable (the ''Action Plan'') for the run-off of Sincere LA and Sincere II to ensure that all liabilities under those policies are discharged and the interests of the policyholders of Sincere LA and Sincere II are adequately protected. The final Action Plan was submitted to the Insurance Authority by Sincere LA and Sincere II on 16 February 2021. The Offeror has also given a written undertaking to the Insurance Authority on 18 February 2021 that upon and subject to becoming a controller of Sincere LA and Sincere II, to exercise its control over Sincere LA and Sincere II so as to procure Sincere LA and Sincere II to comply with the Action Plan.

On 16 April 2021, the Insurance Authority notified the Offeror, MHL, Dr. Lin and Madam Su (collectively, the ''New Controllers'') that the Insurance Authority has no objections (the ''IA No Objections'') to the Offeror, MHL, Dr. Lin and Madam Su becoming a controller of Sincere LA and Sincere II within the meaning of section 13B(1) of the Insurance Ordinance.

9

LETTER FROM ALTUS CAPITAL

With regard to the IA No Objections, the Realord Shareholders, the SinCo Shareholders and potential investors of Realord and/or Sincere should note that:

  • Sincere LA and Sincere II have ceased to enter into new insurance contracts; and
  • the non-objections in relation to the New Controllers have been approved by the Insurance Authority on the basis of their fitness and properness to complete the run-off of Sincere LA and Sincere II, i.e. to ensure the obligations of Sincere LA and Sincere II under their respective existing contracts of insurance are discharged in a timely and efficient manner.

The Insurance Authority has a policy with regards to authorized insurers which are in run-off, to require that the run-off be discharged in an orderly fashion and then for the authorization of the insurer to be withdrawn.

The Offeror notes the Insurance Authority's policy and will run off the insurance business of Sincere LA and Sincere II in accordance with the Action Plan.

The IA No Objections issued by the Insurance Authority will be valid for 6 months from 16 April

2021 and will lapse if the Offeror, MHL, Dr. Lin and Madam Su have not become a controller within the meaning of section 13B(1) of the Insurance Ordinance within the said period.

For each SinCo Share . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . HK$0.3935 in cash, being the Final Offer Price

As disclosed in the announcement jointly issued by the Offeror and Sincere dated 17 June 2020, the Initial Offer Price was adjusted upward to the Final Offer Price of HK$0.3935 per SinCo Share.

The Offer is extended to all SinCo Shareholders in accordance with the Takeovers Code.

2.2 Comparison of value

The Final Offer Price of HK$0.3935 per SinCo Share represents:

  1. an increase of approximately 3.39% as compared to the Initial Offer Price of HK$0.3806 per SinCo Share;
  2. a premium of approximately 4.93% to the closing price of HK$0.375 per SinCo Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 18 May 2020, being the first trading day after the publishing of the Joint Announcement;
  3. a premium of approximately 12.43% over the closing price of HK$0.35 per SinCo Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  4. a premium of approximately 24.53% over the average of the closing prices per SinCo Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.316;
  5. a premium of approximately 28.18% over the average of the closing prices per SinCo Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 10 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.307;
  6. a premium of approximately 43.09% over the average of the closing prices per SinCo Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 30 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day of approximately HK$0.275;

    1,053,519,360 SinCo Shares (being the number of SinCo Shares then in issue other than the SinCo Shares held by the Sincere Companies)(Note);

12

LETTER FROM REALORD ASIA PACIFIC

  1. a premium of approximately 602.68% over the unaudited consolidated net assets attributable to the SinCo Shareholders as at 31 August 2020 of approximately HK$0.056 per SinCo Share calculated based on the unaudited consolidated net assets attributable to the SinCo Shareholders as at 31 August 2020 of approximately HK$59.3 million as extracted from the interim report of Sincere for the six months ended 31 August 2020
    and 1,053,519,360 SinCo Shares (being the number of SinCo Shares then in issue other than the SinCo Shares held by the Sincere Companies)(Note); and
  2. a discount of approximately 9.54% to the closing price of HK$0.435 per SinCo Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

Note: 260,443,200 SinCo Shares held by the Sincere Companies (which were accounted for as subsidiaries of Sincere) were recognised in the SinCo Group's consolidated financial statements as treasury shares through deduction from equity by approximately HK$130 million. Accordingly, such number of SinCo Share was excluded from the total number of issued SinCo Shares for calculating the net assets per SinCo Share as the value attributable to such number of SinCo Shares held by the Sincere Companies is eliminated upon consolidation of the SinCo Group in arriving at the audited consolidated net assets of the SinCo Group. This calculation is consistent with the calculation of the earnings per SinCo Share in the audited financial statements of Sincere.

During the Relevant Period, the highest closing price per SinCo Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$0.54 on 29 April 2021 and the lowest closing price per SinCo Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$0.19 on 12 December 2019.

There were no outstanding options, derivatives, warrants or securities which are convertible or exchangeable into SinCo Shares and Sincere had not entered into any agreement for the issue of such options, derivatives, warrants or securities convertible into SinCo Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Assuming that there is no change in the issued SinCo Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to the Closing Date and assuming full acceptance of the Offer, based on the Final Offer Price of HK$0.3935 per SinCo Share, the total cash consideration payable by the Offeror under the Offer would be HK$517,044,267.36.

2.5 Confirmation of financial resources

The Offeror intends to finance the cash consideration required for the Offer by internal resources.

Altus Capital, being the financial adviser to the Offeror in respect of the Offer, is satisfied that sufficient financial resources are available to the Offeror to satisfy the total cash consideration payable by the Offeror upon full acceptance of the Offer.

LETTER FROM REALORD ASIA PACIFIC

9 DEALINGS AND INTERESTS IN SINCERE'S SECURITIES

None of the Offeror, MHL and its ultimate beneficial owners (namely Dr. Lin and Madam Su), and parties acting in concert with any of them has dealt in any SinCo Shares, options, derivatives, warrants or other relevant securities convertible (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) into SinCo Shares during the Relevant Period.

10 CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THE OFFER

10.1 HK$80 million loan granted by Realord Finance

In view of the pressure of meeting Sincere's financial needs for daily operation amid the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, an unsecured loan in the principal amount of HK$80 million (the ''HK$80 million Loan''), carrying an interest of 10% per annum, was sought by Sincere from and granted by Realord Finance, a subsidiary of the Offeror, on 3 April 2020 for a term of 18 months and such loan was fully drawn. During the discussion between the Offeror and Sincere for the HK$80 million Loan, it occurred to the Offeror that there was a possibility for it to become the controlling shareholder of Sincere. Given the business operation of the Realord Group as described in the paragraph headed ''8 Information of the Offeror'' above, the Offeror considers that the acquisition as a result of making the Offer would provide an opportunity for the Realord Group to diversify its business and tap into the department stores business in Hong Kong.

10.2 Joint Announcement

As set out in the Joint Announcement dated 15 May 2020 issued by the Offeror and Sincere, Realord Asia Pacific intended to make, on behalf of the Offeror and subject to the satisfaction or waiver (as the case may be) of the Pre-Conditions, a voluntary conditional cash offer to acquire all of the issued SinCo Shares.

10.3 HK$70 million loan facility granted by Realord Finance

At the request of Sincere, Realord Finance and Sincere entered into a loan facility of up to HK$70,000,000 (''HK$70 million Facility'') on 26 May 2020. Pursuant to the HK$70 million Facility, Realord Finance shall be obliged to comply with the utilisation requirement only if on the date of that utilisation request and on the proposed utilisation date, no event of default as defined in the underlying facility agreement would be continuing or would result from the proposed drawdown and all representations made by Sincere were true in all material respects. Please refer to the 2020 Sincere Annual Report for details of the terms of the HK$70 million Facility.

Sincere lodged an utilisation request to Realord Finance of HK$10 million under the HK$70 million Facility on 8 February 2021. As Sincere's continuing failure to repay the accrued but unpaid interests under the HK$80 million Loan had constituted an event of default, Realord Finance had no obligation to comply with such utilisation request. As such, no amount under the HK$70 million Facility had been drawn down as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM REALORD ASIA PACIFIC

10.4 The Deed

Sincere announced on 29 October 2020 (the ''29 October 2020 Sincere Announcement'') that in light of the operating and financial position of the SinCo Group and to alleviate the liquidity adversity of the SinCo Group, Win Dynamic had executed the Deed in favour of Sincere at no consideration. Pursuant to the Deed, Win Dynamic has irrevocably undertaken to Sincere to give to Sincere the net sale proceeds that Win Dynamic will be entitled to receive from the Offeror upon its acceptance of the Offer relating to all the 662,525,276 SinCo Shares held by it, which is expected to amount to approximately HK$260 million (after deducting Win Dynamic's ad valorem stamp duty). As stated in the 29 October 2020 Sincere Announcement, Sincere understood that in order to facilitate the Deed, Mr. Philip K H Ma and Mr. Charles M W Chan, who are the shareholders and directors of Win Dynamic (and are also directors of Sincere) have irrevocably agreed to waive all sums owed to them by Win Dynamic, and Sincere intended that this gift from Win Dynamic, when received, will be applied as working capital of the SinCo Group. As stated in the 29 October 2020 Sincere Announcement, the Sincere Board considered that the Deed was in the interests of the SinCo Group and its shareholders as a whole.

10.5 Purported cancellation of the Deed

On 4 February 2021, Sincere announced (the ''4 February 2021 Sincere Announcement'') that the Sincere Board had received a letter from Win Dynamic dated 3 February 2021 (the ''WD Letter'') stating Win Dynamic's declaration that the Deed is null and void and cancelled with immediate effect, for the reason that it was executed by Win Dynamic under undue influence and duress, given without separate legal representation or proper advice, and is an undervalue transaction pursuant to section 265D of the Companies (Winding Up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong). According to the 4 February 2021 Sincere Announcement, the Sincere Board confirmed that Win Dynamic has not yet provided evidence in support of the assertions in the WD Letter or that it has any right to terminate the Deed. As stated in the 4 February 2021 Sincere Announcement, the Sincere Board (other than Mr. Philip K H Ma and Mr. Charles M W Chan, who also own and are directors of Win Dynamic) does not admit that the Deed is null or void or has been cancelled.

The Realord Board had not been informed of the WD Letter and Win Dynamic's unilateral declaration prior to the 4 February 2021 Sincere Announcement.

The Realord Board also noted that the WD Letter was only received by Sincere from Win Dynamic more than three months after the publication of the 29 October 2020 Sincere Announcement.

In respect of the alleged nullity of the Deed, the Offeror considers that the purported cancellation of the Deed would have significant and direct impact on the financial position of the SinCo Group. In order to protect the interests of the SinCo Shareholders, which will include the Offeror following the close of the Offer, the Offeror will use its best endeavor in its capacity as a SinCo Shareholder to urge the new Sincere Board to protect Sincere from the potential loss arising from the purported cancellation of the Deed.

LETTER FROM REALORD ASIA PACIFIC

In the meantime, the legal adviser of the Offeror had written, on behalf of the Offeror, to remind the existing Sincere Board that (i) the Sincere Directors are under fiduciary duty to use their best endeavours to protect and safeguard the assets and interests of Sincere; (ii) the Sincere Board should take immediate action against Win Dynamic by requesting disclosure and substantiation of the claim of alleged undue influence and duress; (iii) Sincere should obtain legal advice for the purpose of protecting the interests of Sincere as well as preserving the rights of Sincere to take legal action against Win Dynamic and those responsible for damages; and (iv) the Offeror reserves its rights to take legal actions against the existing Sincere Directors for loss or damages if Sincere's rights and interests are affected or lost.

10.6 Repayment of the HK$80 million Loan granted by Realord Finance

Since September 2020, Sincere had failed to repay the accrued interest under the HK$80 million Loan, despite the repeated requests of Realord Finance. Realord Finance considered that the purported cancellation of the Deed by Win Dynamic as mentioned above would have a direct impact on the financial position of Sincere as Sincere will be deprived of the potential and impending gift when Win Dynamic accepts the Offer. On 11 February 2021, Realord Finance declared, pursuant to the terms of the HK$80 million Loan, that the principal amount of the HK$80 million Loan together with accrued interests and all other amounts accrued or outstanding became immediately due and payable and demanded repayment of such amount, which aggregate sum was received by Realord Finance on 18 February 2021.

10.7 HK$150 million loan obtained by Sincere from a financial institution

On 25 February 2021, Sincere announced that it had entered into the HK$150 million Loan Facility with an independent financial institution on 18 February 2021, and that the HK$150 million Loan Facility was secured by unencumbered assets of Sincere and is repayable 18 months after drawdown, or on demand. Sincere also announced that it had repaid all the outstanding principal amount and interest accrued under the HK$80 million Loan demanded by Realord Finance out of the HK$150 million Loan Facility and would use the balance of the HK$150 million Loan Facility for working capital of Sincere.

10.8 Failure to obtain consent for the HK$150 million Loan Facility

On 16 April 2021, Sincere announced that the Lender of the HK$150 million Loan Facility had not granted consent to any change in the voting control of Sincere. The Offeror had made several requests to Sincere for copy of the relevant loan document(s) for the HK$150 million Loan Facility but to no avail. Therefore the Offeror has no view whether or not such consent from the Lender is indeed required under the related loan document(s). On 3 May 2021, the Offeror and Altus Capital were informed by the financial adviser of Sincere that the legal adviser of the Lender has issued the 3 May Letter to Sincere that, among others, the Lender demands Sincere, as the borrower, to make a repayment of the HK$150 million Loan Facility, including the outstanding principal of HK$150,000,000 and the interest accrued on the outstanding principal for the period up to 5 May 2021 of HK$1,117,808, totaling HK$151,117,808, on 6 May 2021 before 5:00 p.m. In response to the 3 May Letter, Altus Capital had written to the financial adviser of Sincere on 3 May 2021 that the Offeror expects the Sincere Board to take all necessary actions to protect the interests of Sincere, including serious negotiation with the Lender to minimise disruptions to the business of Sincere. Sincere made an announcement in respect of the 3 May Letter on 4 May 2021. Nevertheless, the Offeror would like to assure the SinCo Shareholders and the Lender that despite the 3 May Letter or an event of default may be purportedly triggered under the terms of the

20

LETTER FROM REALORD ASIA PACIFIC

debenture of the HK$150 million Loan Facility, the Offeror will, upon close of the Offer and appointment of new directors onto the Sincere Board representing a majority of the members of the Sincere Board, provide necessary financial support for repayment in full of the HK$150 million Loan Facility in order to avoid any unnecessary legal proceedings that may be instituted by the Lender against Sincere.
