CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS - REVISION OF ANNUAL CAPS

Reference is made to the Announcements.

In view of the increase in demand by the Company for personal care products and raw materials under the Vinda Master Procurement Agreement, the Board expects that the Original Vinda Annual Caps may not be sufficient for the expected resultant changes to the amount of purchase monies payable by the Group to SCA Group Holding under the Vinda Master Procurement Agreement for the financial years ending 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018. The Board therefore proposes to revise the Original Vinda Annual Caps under the Vinda Master Procurement Agreement for the years ending 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018 to HK$300,000,000 and HK$300,000,000, respectively.

SCA Group Holding is a controlling shareholder of the Company and therefore a Connected Person of the Company. Since SCA Group Holding is entitled to exercise or control the exercise of approximately 36.16% of the voting power at the general meeting of Asaleo Care Limited, Asaleo Care Limited is also a Connected Person of the Company. Further, as Asaleo Care is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Asaleo Care Limited, Asaleo Care is also a Connected Person of the Company. Therefore, the transactions contemplated under the Asaleo Care Product Supply Agreement, the Vinda Master Procurement Agreement and the SCA Master Procurement Agreement, which are of a continuing nature, will constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and will be aggregated as a series of transactions pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules. Further, as the Board proposes to revise the Original Vinda Annual Caps under the Vinda Master Procurement Agreement, the Company is required to re-comply with the relevant provisions of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules in respect of the continuing connected transactions thereunder pursuant to Rule 14A.54 of the Listing Rules.

As the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) calculated based on the Aggregated Annual Caps on an aggregated basis are more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the transactions contemplated under the Asaleo Care Product Supply Agreement, the Vinda Master Procurement Agreement and the SCA Master Procurement Agreement are subject to the reporting, announcement and annual review requirements, but are exempt from the independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
