REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE CAPITAL INJECTION
The Directors consider that the Capital Injection is beneficial to the Group as it will strengthen the capital base and enhance competitiveness of Guangdong Dadi, strive for long-term business development and hence create better returns for its shareholders.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that although the Capital Injection Agreement was not entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the terms of the Capital Injection Agreement are on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.
- FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE CAPITAL INJECTION
Upon completion of the Capital Injection, Guangdong Dadi will be owned as to 41.74%, 53.42% and 4.84% by Dadi Cinema (HK), Dadi Century and Ningbo Yishan respectively. Given Dadi Cinema (HK) and Dadi Century are indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, the effective equity interest of the Group in Guangdong Dadi will be increased from 90.1% to 95.16% upon completion of the Capital Injection, representing an increase of 5.06%. Guangdong Dadi will remain as a subsidiary of the Company and its financial results will continue to be consolidated in the Company's financial statements. The Company considers that the Capital Injection will not have any material financial impact on the Group.
