Pursuant to Rules 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, immediately after the Completion, the Offeror will be required to make a mandatory unconditional cash offer for all the issued Shares (other than those Shares already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror and/ or parties acting in concert with it).

INTENTIONS OF THE OFFEROR IN RELATION TO THE GROUP

Following completion of the Share Offer, the Offeror will review the businesses of the Group to consider and determine what changes, if any, would be necessary, appropriate or desirable, in both long term and short term, in order to best organise and optimise the businesses and operations of the Group.

The Offeror intends that the Group will continue to operate its business in substantially its current state. However, the Offeror reserves the right to make any changes that it deems necessary or appropriate to the Group's businesses and operations in order to increase the value of the Group, taking into consideration the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

MAINTAINING THE LISTING STATUS OF THE COMPANY

The Offeror will, together with the Company, use reasonable endeavours to maintain the listing status of the Shares on the Stock Exchange and procure that not less than 25% of the entire issued share capital in the Company be held by the public in compliance with the Listing Rules. The Offeror and the Director(s) to be appointed after the issue of the Composite Document will jointly and severally undertake to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps following the close of the Share Offer to ensure that such number of Shares as may be required by the Stock Exchange are held by the public within the prescribed time frame.

According to the Listing Rules, if, upon the close of the Share Offer, less than the minimum prescribed percentage applicable to the Company, being 25%, of the issued Shares are held by the public or if the Stock Exchange believes that (i) a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the Shares; or (ii) there are insufficient Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market, then the Stock Exchange may exercise its discretion to suspend trading in the Shares. INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE AND INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Independent Board Committee, which comprises all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Kwong Ping Man, Mr. Chu Wai Wa Fangus and Mr. Yeung Ho Ming, has been established to make a recommendation to the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Share Offer as to whether the terms of the Share Offer are fair and reasonable and as to the acceptance of the Share Offer.
