CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO

ENTERING INTO ADDITIONAL CHANGHONG IT LEASE

ENTERING INTO ADDITIONAL CHANGHONG IT LEASE

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 22 May 2020 in relation to the 2020 Changhong IT Lease.

Due to the needs of business development, the Board announces that, on 30 March 2021 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), Changhong IT entered into the 2021 Changhong IT Lease with Beijing Changhong in relation to the newly leasing of certain premises in Beijing, which will be used by Changhong IT as its office, to expand the existing leasing of premises. The existing 2020 Changhong IT Lease will continue to be valid and performed.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Beijing Changhong is owned as to 48.98%, respectively, by Sichuan Changhong, a controlling shareholder of the Company. Hence, Beijing Changhong is an associate of Sichuan Changhong and a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the entering into of the 2021 Changhong IT Lease constitutes connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules, the estimated values of the right-of-use asset to be recognised by the Group under the Leases will be aggregated for the purpose of calculating the percentage ratios. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the estimated value of the right-of-use asset to be recognised by the Group under the Leases in aggregate are more than 0.1% and less than 5%, the entering into of the 2021 Changhong IT Lease is therefore exempt from the circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, but is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Beijing Changhong is owned as to 48.98%, respectively, by Sichuan Changhong, a controlling shareholder of the Company. Hence, Beijing Changhong is an associate of Sichuan Changhong and a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the entering into of the 2021 Changhong IT Lease constitutes connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The HKFRS applicable to the Group include HKFRS 16 ''Leases'' which has come into effect on 1 January 2019. In accordance with HKFRS 16 ''Leases'', the Group will recognize the value of the right-of-use assets on its balance sheet in connection with the Leases, this transaction will be regarded as an acquisition of assets by the Group pursuant to the Listing Rules. The value of the right-of-use asset to be recognized by the Group under the 2021 Changhong IT Lease is estimated to be approximately RMB16,090,572.77 (equivalent to approximately HK$19,274,763.74), being the present value of the aggregate lease payments using the rate applicable at the commencement date of the Leases in accordance with HKFRS 16. The discount rate of 4.75% is applied to compute the present value of aggregate lease payments under the 2021 Changhong IT Lease. Shareholders should note that the above figure is unaudited and may be subject to adjustment in the future.

Pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules, the estimated values of the right-of-use asset to be recognised by the Group under the Leases will be aggregated for the purpose of calculating the percentage ratios. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the estimated value of the right-of-use asset to be recognised by the Group under the Leases in aggregate are more than 0.1% and less than 5%, the entering into of the 2021 Changhong IT Lease is therefore exempt from the circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, but is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements.

Both Mr. Zhao Yong (''Mr. Zhao'') and Mr. Yang Jun (''Mr. Yang''), being executive directors of the Company and directors of Sichuan Changhong, are considered to be interested in the 2021 Changhong IT Lease. Therefore, Mr. Zhao and Mr. Yang have abstained from voting for the Board resolutions approving the entering into of the 2021 Changhong IT Lease.
