INFORMATION OF THE PARTIES

Channel Systems (Asia) is a company established in Malaysia and its principal business activity is design, manufacture and marketing of cleanroom walls and component parts for cleanroom facilities and high technology plants.

The Vendor is a company established in Malaysia and its principal business activity is property investment.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of cleanroom wall and ceiling systems and cleanroom equipment in the PRC and Malaysia.

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 1 March 2021, the Company decided not to proceed with the Land Offer as the parties could not reach an agreement regarding the terms of the sale and purchase agreement to be entered into and Company would continue to look for potential acquisitions targets including existing factories and empty plots of industrial land. Company made further enquires and was introduced to a few potential acquisition targets. After considering the purchase cost, location and land site area, the Company considers the Acquisition suitable to meet the Company's expansion plan in Malaysia as described in the Prospectus. Upon completion of the Acquisition, the Company will commence to plan for the construction of the new factory. Further announcement on the construction of the new factory will be made as and when required in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules.

The Board considers the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
