DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION
ACQUISITION OF 27% OF
THE TOTAL ISSUED SHARES OF SHINE GOLD
The Board is pleased to announce that on 20 December 2019, Frankton (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement with Mr. Wong, pursuant to which Frankton agrees to acquire and Mr. Wong agrees to sell the Relevant Shares, which represent 27% of the issued shares of Shine Gold (an indirect 70% owned subsidiary of the Company immediately before Completion) at a consideration of HK$22 million.
Completion took place immediately after the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. Upon Completion, Shine Gold is owned as to 97% by the Group and the Group continues to consolidate the financial results of the Shine Gold Group.
As the applicable percentage ratio(s) (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceed 5% but are less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
As Mr. Wong is a connected person at the subsidiary level of the Company by virtue of being a substantial shareholder and a director of Shine Gold as well as a director of certain subsidiaries of the Shine Gold Group, the Acquisition also constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The Board has approved the Acquisition and the Directors (including the Independent Non-executive Directors) have also confirmed that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable, the Acquisition is on normal commercial terms, is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and is in the interests of the Company and the shareholders of the Company as a whole. Therefore, by virtue of Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules, the Acquisition is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements applicable to connected transactions, but is exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and shareholders' approval requirements.

REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR ENTERING INTO THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT
Shine Gold was owned as to 70% by Frankton (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) and 30% by Mr. Wong, the founder of Shine Gold, immediately before Completion. The Shine Gold Group is the operation arm of the high-end fashion retailing business of the Group. Taking into account of the remarkable business development and financial performance of the Shine Gold Group which contributed considerable profits to the Group, the Directors consider that it would be beneficial for the Group to acquire more shareholding interests in Shine Gold from Mr. Wong to gain more control of the Shine Gold Group. Upon Completion, Mr. Wong resigned as a director of Shine Gold.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. None of the Directors has any material interest in the Acquisition and all the Directors vote in favour for the relevant board resolutions approving the Acquisition.

Frankton is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and is principally engaged in investment holding. As at the date of this announcement, Frankton is wholly-owned by the Company.
Mr. Wong is the holder of 30% of the total issued shares of Shine Gold prior to Completion. Immediately after Completion, Mr. Wong remains the holder of 3% of the total issued shares of Shine Gold.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
As the applicable percentage ratio(s) (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceed 5% but are less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
