The Board has been informed by PTL that PTL is still in negotiation with the Chargee regarding the settlement of the outstanding indebtedness owed by PTL to the Chargee (the "Outstanding Indebtedness"), and it will need more time to reach final settlement with the Chargee in view of (i) the outbreak of the novel coronavirus epidemic in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") and the economic downturn in the PRC which led to the termination of discussion between PTL and several previous potential lenders for provision of loan to PTL for the settlement of the Outstanding Indebtedness; (ii) that more time is required for the existing potential new lender of PTL to conduct due diligence exercise in relation to PTL and its assets, such as the Company (including physical site visit to the factory and stores of the Company in the PRC, which have not yet been arranged due to the travel restriction and related quarantine requirements in the PRC and Hong Kong as a result of the novel coronavirus epidemic); and (iii) that more time is required for the negotiation among the parties involved for the repayment of the Outstanding Indebtedness. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has not been advised by PTL or the Receivers of any proposed change of the ownership of the Charged Shares which may or may not involve a change of the controlling shareholder of the Company (i.e. the Possible Transaction).
