DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION

SUBSCRIPTION OF STRUCTURED DEPOSIT PRODUCT

SUBSCRIPTION OF STRUCTURED DEPOSIT PRODUCT

Reference is made to the Announcement in respect of the subscription of the Original Structured Deposit Products from China Merchants Bank. As at the date of this announcement, the structured deposit product subscribed under the Structured Deposit Product Agreement IV has matured, and the Group has redeemed the entire principal amount under the Structured Deposit Product Agreement IV.

In order to fully utilize the Group's idle funds and generate better returns, on 11 May 2021, Anyixun Technology, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Structured Deposit Product Agreement VI with China Merchants Bank, pursuant to which, Anyixun Technology agreed to subscribe the Structured Deposit Product of RMB30 million from China Merchants Bank. Such subscription was funded by the redeemed principal amount under the Structured Deposit Product Agreement IV.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the Structured Deposit Product was subscribed from the same bank as and is of similar nature of the Original Structured Deposit Products, the subscription under the Structured Deposit Product Agreement VI shall be aggregated with the Original Structured Deposit Products pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios, on an aggregated basis, in respect of the Structured Deposit Product exceed 5% but all of the ratios are less than 25%, the subscription of the Structured Deposit Product therefore constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the notification and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.

Reference is made to the Announcement of the Company dated 31 March 2021 (the "Announcement") in respect of the subscription of the Original Structured Deposit Products from China Merchants Bank. Unless the context otherwise specifies, the terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement. As at the date of this announcement, the structured deposit product subscribed under the Structured Deposit Product Agreement IV has matured, and the Group has redeemed the entire principal amount under the Structured Deposit Product Agreement IV.

In order to fully utilize the Group's idle funds and generate better returns, on 11 May 2021, Anyixun Technology, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Structured Deposit Product Agreement VI with China Merchants Bank, pursuant to which, Anyixun Technology agreed to subscribe the Structured Deposit Product of RMB30 million from China Merchants Bank. Such subscription was funded by the redeemed principal amount under the Structured Deposit Product Agreement IV.

BASIS OF DETERMINATION FOR THE CONSIDERATION

The Directors confirmed that the consideration of the subscription of the Structured Deposit Product was determined on the basis of normal commercial terms negotiated at arm's length between the Group and China Merchants Bank, having considered the then available surplus cash of the Group for treasury management purpose.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUBSCRIPTION

Taking into account that (i) the Structured Deposit Product is fully principal-guaranteed and with minimal risks involved; (ii) compared with the deposit interest rates generally offered by commercial banks in the PRC, the return of the Structured Deposit Product is relatively high; and

  1. the Structured Deposit Product is funded by the Group's idle funds with a relatively short term which will not affect the operational liquidity of the Group, the Group decided to subscribe for the Structured Deposit Product to improve the utilization of its idle funds and generate better returns for the Group.

Accordingly, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Structured Deposit Product Agreement VI were arrived at after the arm's length negotiation and the transaction contemplated thereunder is on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
