CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO PROVISION OF CONSULTING SERVICES

The Board is pleased to announce that on 3 August 2020, Smart Empire, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the New Consulting Service Agreement with Glory Star, pursuant to which Smart Empire has agreed to provide certain consulting services to Glory Star in relation to financial investments at a consideration of HK$6,000,000 (the "New Transaction").

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

As at the date of this announcement, Glory Star is held as to 51% by Dr. Charles Yeung and 34% by Mr. Yeung Chun Fan. As each of Dr. Charles Yeung and Mr. Yeung Chun Fan is Director and substantial shareholder of the Company, Glory Star constitutes a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Therefore, the New Transaction constitutes a connected transaction of the Company.

On 2 December 2019, Smart Empire entered into the Previous Consulting Service Agreement (together with the New Consulting Service Agreement, the "Consulting Service Agreements") with Glory Star, pursuant to which Smart Empire had agreed to provide certain consulting services to Glory Star in relation to financial investments at a consideration of HK$2,000,000 (the "Previous Transaction"). As the Previous Transaction was conducted on normal commercial terms and one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Previous Transaction were more than 0.1% but less than 5% and the consideration was less than HK$3,000,000, the Previous Transaction was fully exempt from the shareholders' approval and all disclosure requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules, the Previous Transaction and the New Transaction (collectively, the "Transactions") have been aggregated and the total consideration is HK$8,000,000. As the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules), calculated on an aggregate basis in respect of the Transactions, are more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the Transactions are only subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but are exempt from the circular (including independent financial advice) and shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE CONSULTING SERVICE AGREEMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS

The Group is principally engaged in (a) the retailing and export of casual wear; (b) financial investments; and (c) interior decoration and renovation. Smart Empire is an indirect wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company and is principally engaged in the provision of financial consulting services. The Board considers that the provision of consulting services by Smart Empire to Glory Star is in the usual and ordinary course of business of the Group and is expected to generate reasonable income for the Group.

The terms of the Consulting Service Agreements and the Transactions contemplated thereunder, including the amount of consulting fees chargeable, were determined after arm's length negotiations by Smart Empire and Glory Star with reference to the prevailing market conditions for comparable consulting services. In particular, when determining the level of

3

consulting fees chargeable, the estimated manpower and resources to be involved in the preparation for each Report and the standard hourly rates charged by the relevant research analysts responsible for the project was taken into account. The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the Consulting Service Agreements were entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and the terms of the Consulting Service Agreements and the Transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and not more favourable as compared to those to be offered to independent third parties, are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Company's shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, Glory Star is held as to 51% by Dr. Charles Yeung and 34% by Mr. Yeung Chun Fan. As each of Dr. Charles Yeung and Mr. Yeung Chun Fan is Director and substantial shareholder of the Company, Glory Star constitutes a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Therefore, the New Transaction contemplated under the New Consulting Service Agreement constitutes a connected transaction of the Company.

On 2 December 2019, Smart Empire entered into the Previous Consulting Service Agreement with Glory Star, pursuant to which Smart Empire had agreed to provide certain consulting services to Glory Star in relation to financial investments at a consideration of HK$2,000,000. As the Previous Transaction was conducted on normal commercial terms and one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Previous Transaction were more than 0.1% but less than 5% and the consideration was less than HK$3,000,000, the Previous Transaction was fully exempt from the shareholders' approval and all disclosure requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules, the Transactions have been aggregated and the total consideration is HK$8,000,000. As the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules), calculated on an aggregate basis in respect of the Transactions, are more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the Transactions are only subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but are exempt from the circular (including independent financial advice) and shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
