Upon Completion, these 10 Disposal Companies will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As the Framework Share Transfer Agreement and Share Transfer Agreements were entered into between the Group and the same Purchaser and form a series of transactions conducted within the past 12-month period, the Disposals are required to be aggregated for the purpose of computing the relevant percentage ratios pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules. Upon aggregation, as the highest applicable percentage ratios calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposals exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the Disposals constitute a discloseable transaction of the Company and are therefore subject to notification and announcement requirements but are exempt from Shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
