REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Target Company became an indirect 89%-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Acquisition enabled the Group to consolidate its ownership in the Target Company and enhance its control and management over the Target Company to better facilitate the implementation of its business philosophies and strategies of the Company into the Target Company. The Target Group is principally engaged in the same line of business as the Group and as such, stronger synergies will be created within the Group. Hence, the Acquisition is expected to enhance the competitiveness of the Group in its core business.

In consideration of the above, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Acquisition Agreement are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the applicable percentage ratios for the transaction under the Acquisition Agreement are more than 5% but less than 25%, the Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder constituted a discloseable transaction on the part of the Company under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules and was therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The Company acknowledges its delay in the publication of this announcement, which was not intentional but an inadvertent incident. Upon becoming aware of the discloseable nature of the transactions contemplated under the Acquisition Agreement, the management took immediate steps to comply with the reporting and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.

5

To prevent the reoccurrence of similar incidents in the future, the Company has taken and will continue to take the following measures and actions: (i) internal memorandums will be issued and briefing sessions will be given internally or by external advisers on the requirements and importance of the reporting procedures for notifiable transactions under the Listing Rules to enhance their understanding of the regulatory requirements; (ii) the Directors and relevant staff of the Company will attend seminars/trainings from time to time on corporate governance and regulatory requirements to enhance their knowledge and understanding of the relevant rules and regulations so that they can better perform the duties of overseeing and monitoring the Company's on-going compliance with the Listing Rules in relation to its transactions; and

  1. the Company shall seek professional advice where necessary as to any action required to be taken in relation to any proposed transactions.
