INFORMATION OF THE PARTIES

The Group and Ocean Ample

The Group is principally engaged in the operation of clubbing business in Hong Kong and property management services in the PRC.

Ocean Ample is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company principally engaged in the provision of administrative services in Hong Kong.

Landlord

The Landlord is principally engaged in property development and investment.

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Landlord and its ultimate beneficial owner are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TENANCY AGREEMENT

Zentral, a club run by the Group, currently operates on the Premises. The Premises is held by the Group on lease and the existing tenancy agreement in respect of the Premises is due to expire in 31 October 2019. The Group aims to maintain its status as a leading entertainment service and venue provider in Hong Kong. The renewal of the tenancy of the Premises by way of the entering into of the Tenancy Agreement will allow the Group to provide services of high quality to the target customers through Zentral on an uninterrupted basis and continue developing its relationships with event organisers.

The terms of the Tenancy Agreement, including the rent payable by Ocean Ample thereunder, were determined after arm's length negotiations between the Landlord and Ocean Ample, taking into consideration the prevailing market price for comparable premises in the vicinity of the Premises. The conclusion of the Tenancy Agreement is necessary for securing the continued operation of the clubbing business segment of the Group. As such, the Board considers that the terms of the Tenancy Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

In accordance with HKFRS 16 "Leases" as adopted by the Company, the Company will recognise an asset representing its rights to use the Premises as the lessee under the Tenancy Agreement. Accordingly, the entering into of the Tenancy Agreement will be regarded as an acquisition of asset by the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. The value of the right-of-use asset recognised by the Company amounts to approximately HK$13,906,000. The discount rate of 6.5% per annum, which is equivalent to the Company's incremental borrowing rate during the term of the Tenancy Agreement, has been applied in computing the present value of the lease payments under the Tenancy Agreement.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) calculated based on the value of the right-of-use asset recognised by the Company according to HKFRS 16 exceeds 5% but all such ratios fall below 25%, the transaction contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
