The board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of the Company wishes to inform the shareholders (the "Shareholders") and the potential investors of the Company that, based on the preliminary assessment of the unaudited consolidated management accounts of the Group (prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)) for the six months ended June 30, 2020, it is expected that the profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2020 will increase more than 58% compared with the profit attributable to equity shareholders of the Company for the corresponding period of last year.
