INFORMATION ON THE PARTIES
The Group
The Group is principally engaged in the retail of household appliance, mobile phones, computers, imported and general merchandise and provision of maintenance and installation services for household appliance in the PRC.
The Subscriber
To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Subscriber is an investment holding company incorporated in Hong Kong.
The Subscriber is a substantial shareholder of the Company, holding approximately 28,455,000 Shares, representing approximately 15.57% of the total number of issued Shares of the Company, and is therefore a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. In addition, the Subscriber is wholly owned by Mogen Ltd., which is wholly-owned by Chongqing Saint, which is in turn owned as to 40.44% by Mr. Yuan Li and 17.02% by Mr. Xu Xinying, each an executive Director.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE
LOAN CAPITALISATION THROUGH SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW SHARES
UNDER SPECIFIC MANDATE
On 10 November 2020 and 20 January 2021, the Subscriber entered into two loan agreements with the Company, pursuant to which the Subscriber granted loans of principal amount of HK$30,000,000 to the Company at 5% per annum for a period of three years and principal amount of HK$10,000,000 to the Company at 6% per annum for a period of one year, respectively. As at date of the Subscription and Capitalisation Agreement, the total outstanding amount (including principal and accrued interests) under the Shareholders' Loan amounted to approximately HK $40,734,167. The Parties agreed that the entire Shareholders' Loan of the amount of HK$40,734,167 shall be capitalised as part of the consideration for the Subscription upon Completion. Accordingly, the remaining balance of the aggregate Subscription Price of HK$928,984.36 will be settled by cash by the Subscriber upon Completion. It shows the confidence and support of the substantial shareholder towards the long-term development of the Company.
− 6 −
The Company had explored using other fund raising alternatives available to the Group for the repayment of the Shareholders' Loan such as debt financing, rights issue, open offer and Share placement. Given the loss position of the Group for the recent years, the Company considered that additional debt financing from banks or financial institutions may be subject to lengthy negotiations and unfavorable financing terms. In addition, it is considered that an increase in the debt level and interest payments to be potentially arisen therefrom may put further financial burden on the Group. On the other hand, rights issue, open offer or Share placement would involve the identification of suitable underwriter(s)/placing agent(s) and to negotiate terms with the same, preparation of compliance and legal documentations with other application and administrative procedures which are relatively more time consuming and less cost effective. Under the current volatile market condition, it is also difficult to ascertain market demand and to have certainty in successful fund raising.
In addition, although the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares will have a dilution effect to the existing Shareholders, the Directors believe that the Subscription will alleviate the repayment pressure of the Group, improve the gearing ratio of the Company, strengthen its financial position and capital structure and retain cashflow of the Group for its future business development and therefore it is considered that the dilution effect arising from the allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares is justifiable in this regard. Having taken into account the pros and cons of the aforementioned fund raising alternatives, the Company considered that the Subscription would be a more efficient, cost-effective and appropriate fund raising method for the Group.
The Directors (other than Mr. Yuan Li and Mr. Xu Xinying who were required to abstain from voting and the independent non-executive Directors who will express their views after receiving advice from the Independent Financial Adviser) consider the terms of the Subscription and Capitalisation Agreement to be fair and reasonable and in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
USE OF PROCEEDS
It is expected that the gross proceeds from the Subscription will be HK$928,984.36. After deducting related professional fees and all related expenses to be borne by the Compnay under the Subscription, the net proceeds from the Subscription will amount to approximately HK$690,984.36. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to settle the trade and bills payables and as general working capital of the Group.
