The liquidated damages as represented in percentages were mutually agreed between the Group and the Transferee with reference to the estimated amount of damages that may incurred in the event of the relevant breach of the Equity Transfer Agreements.

The Aggregate Consideration was arrived at on a willing buyer willing seller basis after taking into account, among other things, the rationale for the Disposals, the Valuation Report, recently transacted prices of the properties around the vicinity of Properties and offers received by the Group in respect of the Disposals.

Based on the Valuation Report, the market values of Property I and Property II were approximately RMB54.4 million (equivalent to approximately HK$65.3 million) and RMB67.4 million (equivalent to approximately HK$80.9 million), respectively, as at 22 January 2021.

As disclosed in the section headed "Letter from the Board - Reasons for and benefits of the Disposals" in this circular, the Group has been looking for opportunities to dispose of the Properties and the Disposals remain in line with the Group's continued strategy of streamlining its battery operations by the rebalance of its battery manufacturing capacities among factories in China and Southeast Asia. In or around August 2020, the Group made an invitation to bid for the disposal of the Properties and received three offers including one from the Transferee. The remaining two offers were not acceptable to the Group either due to lower offer price or the inconsistency to the existing relocation plan of the Group. After internal deliberation, the Group decided to accept the bid from the Transferee to acquire the Properties by way of acquisition of the equity interest in GPB (China) and Modern Battery for the Aggregate Consideration which was also the highest bid received. The management of the Group, after taking into account of, among other factors, (i) the valuation of Property I and Property II, (ii) the compatibility of the Transferee's offer with the Group's relocation plan which the other two offers could not match and (iii) the improvement in the Group's gearing ratios and cashflow position following the Disposals, considered the Aggregate Consideration to be a favourable one and the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreements are in the interests of the Group and finally accepted the highest bid received.

Conditions Precedent

Completion of the Disposals is subject to and conditional upon the satisfaction of the following conditions precedent (the "Condition(s)"):

  • (i) the approval of the shareholders (if such shareholders' approval is required by applicable listing regulations) and/or the board of directors of each of (a) GP Industries and (b) the Company for the Disposals in accordance with the Listing Rules and other applicable laws and regulations; and

  • (ii) the approval of the shareholders and the board of directors of the Transferee for the Disposals.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, except for the approval of the Shareholders for the Disposals to be obtained at the General Meeting, all the Conditions have been fulfilled.

Whitehill Electrochemical or Sylva Industries (China) (as the case may be) and the Transferee undertake to immediately take all reasonable efforts to ensure the passing of the resolutions for the abovementioned approvals. Within 5 days after the satisfaction of the Conditions, the responsible party (being Whitehill Electrochemical or Sylva Industries (China) in respect of the Condition set out in sub-paragraph (i) and the Transferee in respect of the Condition set out in sub-paragraph (ii)) shall provide written notice to the other parties of the satisfaction of the relevant Condition.

Use of Properties by the Group

Equity Transfer Agreement I

Pursuant to the terms of Equity Transfer Agreement I, during the 13-month period commencing from the First Payment Date, the Transferee shall allow Whitehill Electrochemical to use Property I free of charge. During such period of use, the Transferee shall not: (a) take back Property I in advance; or (b) sub-lease Property I to third parties, otherwise the Transferee shall be liable to compensate Whitehill Electrochemical for all resultant economic losses incurred by Whitehill Electrochemical, including but not limited to losses caused by the stoppage of production, deduction claims from customers, all costs incurred by any forced moving out of Property I and the rental of temporary venues, outsourcing costs and economic compensation for employees whose employment contracts have been terminated in advance. If Whitehill Electrochemical fails to vacate Property I after the end of the 13-month period, Whitehill Electrochemical shall pay to the Transferee a monthly rental fee of RMB300,000, which was determined with reference to the market rent in the vicinity of Property I.

Equity Transfer Agreement II

Pursuant to the terms of Equity Transfer Agreement II, during the 18-month period commencing from the First Payment Date, Sylva Industries (China) shall continue to use Property II. During such period of use, the Transferee shall not: (a) take back Property II in advance; or (b) sub-lease Property II to third parties, otherwise the Transferee shall be liable to compensate Sylva Industries (China) for all resultant economic losses incurred by Sylva Industries (China), including but not limited to losses caused by the stoppage of production, deduction claims from customers, all costs incurred by any forced moving out of Property II and the rental of temporary venues, outsourcing costs and economic compensation for employees whose employment contracts have been terminated in advance. If Sylva Industries (China) fails to vacate Property II after the end of the 18-month period, Sylva Industries (China) shall pay to the Transferee a monthly rental fee of RMB500,000, which was determined with reference to the market rent in the vicinity of Property II.

Warranties by the Transferee

According to Equity Transfer Agreements, the Transferee has warranted to Whitehill Electrochemical or Sylva Industries (China) (as the case may be) that after completion of the transfer thereunder, GPB (China) or Modern Battery (as the case may be) shall not (i) engage in the manufacturing and the sales of products produced by Whitehill Electrochemical and Sylva Industries (China) (as the case may be); (ii) use or permit the use of the "GP", "൴ᚡ (Chao Ba)" and other related brand names and other patents, trademarks, proprietary technology and other intellectual properties owned by Whitehill Electrochemical and Sylva Industries (China) (as the case may be); and (iii) claim or imply that GPB (China) or Modern Battery (as the case may be) is a member or associated company of the Group.

In addition, the Transferee shall, (i) within 6 months after the handover of Property I from Whitehill Electrochemical, complete the change of name of GPB (China) without "ږʆཥϫ (GP Batteries)" or other similar names; and (ii) within 1 month after the handover of Property II from Sylva Industries (China), complete the change of name of Modern Battery without "ࣛ˾ཥϫ (Modern Battery)" or other similar names.

Any breach of the warranties by the Transferee under the Equity Transfer Agreements will be regarded as serious breach of Equity Transfer Agreement I or Equity Transfer Agreement II (as the case may be) and the Transferee is liable to pay a liquidated damages of not less than RMB50,000,000 to Whitehill Electrochemical or Sylva Industries (China) (as the case may be), plus any excess in the actual loss and damage. The amount of RMB50,000,000 was determined with reference to the estimated amount damages that may incurred to the Group in the event of any misuse of the trade names and intellectual property rights by the Transferee. As it relates only to the breach of warranties by the Transferee, the Transferee would be liable to pay other liquidated damages to the Group for any other breaches and termination of the Equity Transfer Agreements.

Breach and Termination of the Equity Transfer Agreements

Pursuant to the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreements, any breach of the relevant equity transfer agreements by the parties thereunder shall, unless otherwise specified, result in the defaulting party becoming liable to pay to the non-defaulting party an amount of RMB9,000,000 as liquidated damages, which shall not affect the continuing performance of the relevant equity transfer agreement by the parties.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSALS

The Group has been looking for opportunities to dispose of the Properties and has entered into disposal agreements in respect thereof in December 2017, which were subsequently terminated in October 2018 by mutual agreements. Details of the previous disposals and termination are disclosed in the announcements of the Company dated 29 December 2017 and 29 October 2018, respectively. The Disposals remain in line with the Group's continued strategy of streamlining its battery operations by the rebalance of its battery manufacturing capacities among factories in China and Southeast Asia. The manufacturing facilities in the Properties will be progressively relocated to the newly leased factory premises in Dongguan and the factories in Southeast Asia, which would fully cover the production capacity in the Properties, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Group's operations. It is expected that the relocation will be completed within 13 months and 18 months after the First Payment Date for Property I and Property II respectively by the year ending 31 March 2023 and would not result in any material adverse effect to the sales and production of the Company.

Accordingly, the Directors believe that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreements and the Disposals are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS ON THE DISPOSALS AND INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS

A summary of the unaudited combined financial information of GPB (China) and Modern Battery for the year ended 31 March 2019 and 2020 and the six months ended 30 September 2020 (prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards) are as follows:

As at 30 September 2020, the unaudited book value attributable to the Disposals of (i) GPB (China) amounted to RMB34.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$41.2 million), comprising the unaudited net asset value of Property I of RMB0.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$0.4 million) and the Cash Amount of RMB34.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$40.8 million) and (ii) Modern Battery amounted to RMB17.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$19.3 million), representing the unaudited net asset value of Property II.

Based on the Aggregate Consideration, the excess of the proceeds from the Disposals over aggregate of the unaudited net asset value of the Properties of RMB17.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$19.7 million) as at 30 September 2020 and the Cash Amount of RMB34.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$40.8 million) is approximately

RMB129.2 million (equivalent to approximately HK$156.1 million).

The Properties are mainly used as factories for GP Batteries' manufacturing purposes, except a portion of Property II was used as an investment property.

The rental income and the net profits attributable to Property II for the year ended 31 March 2019 and 2020 and the six months ended 30 September 2020 are set out below:

Gold Peak Industries (Holdings) Limited 9/F Building 12W

Dear Sir/Madam

INSTRUCTIONS

We refer to your instruction for us to value the property interest (the "Properties") to be disposed by Gold Peak Industries (Holdings) Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together as the "Group") located in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"). We confirm that we have carried out property inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market value of the Properties as at 22 January 2021 (the "Valuation Date").

This letter which forms part of our valuation report explains the basis and methodologies of valuation, clarifying assumptions, valuation considerations, title investigations and limiting conditions of this valuation.

BASIS OF VALUATION

The valuation is our opinion of the market value ("Market Value") which we would define as intended to mean the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably prudently and without compulsion.

Market Value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, joint ventures, management agreements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value.

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In valuing the market value of the Properties, due to the nature of buildings and structures, and absence of sufficient market data, the Depreciated Replacement Cost ("DRC") approach is adopted. DRC is based on an estimate of the fair value for the existing use of the land, plus the current cost of replacement of the improvements less allowance for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization.

VALUATION CONSIDERATIONS

In valuing the property interest, we have complied with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the International Valuation Standards 2020.

VALUATION ASSUMPTION

In our valuation, unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that:

  • i. all necessary statutory approvals for the Properties or the subject building of which the Properties forms part of their use have been obtained;

  • ii. transferable land use rights in respect of the Properties for specific terms at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid;

  • iii. no deleterious or hazardous materials or techniques have been used in the construction of the Properties; and

  • iv. the Properties are connected to main services and sewers which are available on normal terms.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have been shown copies of various documents relating to the Properties. However, we have not examined the original documents to verify the existing titles to the Properties or any amendment which does not appear on the copies handed to us. We have relied considerably on the information given by the Company's PRC legal advisers, Guangdong Lianrui Law Firm, concerning the validity of the titles to the Properties.

LIMITING CONDITIONS

We have conducted on-site inspections to the Properties on 22 January 2021 by Mr. Peter Lai (Bsc in Real Estate Management) who has over 8 years of experience in property valuation. During the course of inspection, we did not note any serious defects. However, no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report whether the Properties are free from rot, infestation or any other defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.

We have not carried out detailed on-site measurement to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct. All dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate.

We have not carried out any site investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property development erected or to be erected thereon. Nor did we undertake archaeological, ecological or environmental surveys for the Properties. Our valuation is prepared on the assumptions that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period. Should it be discovered that contamination, subsidence or other latent defects exists in the Properties or on adjoining or neighboring land or that the Properties had been or are being put to contaminated use, we reserve right to revise our opinion of value.

We have relied very considerable extent on the information provided by the Group and have accepted advices given to us on such matters, in particular, but not limited to tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, size and floor areas and all other relevant matters in the identification of the Properties. The plans including but not limited to location plan, site plan, lot index plan, outline zoning plan, building plan if any, in the report are included to assist the reader to identify the Properties for reference only and we assume no responsibility for their accuracy.

We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group. We have also been advised by the Group that no material fact has been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view, and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

We do not accept a liability for any interpretation which we have placed on such information which is more properly the sphere of the legal advisers of the Group. Neither have we verified the correctness of any information supplied to us concerning the Properties.

REMARKS

We have valued the property interest in Renminbi (RMB).

We enclose herewith the summary of values and the "Property Particulars and Opinion of Value".

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

Overview of GP Industries Group's business performance

The revenue for the nine-month period ended 31 December 2020 ("3QYTDFY2021") of GP Industries and its subsidiaries ("GP Industries Group") amounted to S$873.9 million, representing a 5.6% increase when compared to the revenue for the nine-month period which ended on 31 December 2019 ("3QYTDFY2020"). Revenue of the Batteries Business increased by 13.7%, due mainly to a 16.4% increase in sales of primary batteries. Revenue of the Electronics and Acoustics Business decreased by 19.1% despite a year-on-year 16.6% increase in sales of KEF products. Sales of both KEF's traditional premium loudspeakers and new media products increased. KEF's new products launched during the three-month period ended 31 December 2020 ("3QFY2021") were very well received in both the American and European markets. Sales of private label professional audio products and Celestion professional speaker drivers decreased by 46.4% and 32.9% respectively, due mainly to cessation of public performances in most major markets amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Revenue of the Automotive Wire Harness Business also decreased by 18.2% during 3QYTDFY2021 due mainly to the impact of the pandemic on the automotive market in the US and in Europe.

GP Industries Group's revenue for 3QFY2021 increased by 12.4% when compared to the three-month period ended 31 December 2019, attributable also mainly to increase in sales of GP Batteries products and KEF products.

Gross profit margin for 3QYTDFY2021 improved slightly to 27.3% when compared to 26.9% for 3QYTDFY2020. A surge in freight rates during 3QFY2021 and increase in brand building activities during 3QYTDFY2021 contributed to an increase in distribution costs for 3QYTDFY2021 when compared to 3QYTDFY2020.

Appreciation of Chinese Renminbi ("Renminbi") against United States ("US") dollar during 3QYTDFY2021 contributed to an exchange loss of S$8.2 million for 3QYTDFY2021, compared to an exchange gain of S$2.3 million for 3QYTDFY2020.

Profit for 3QYTDFY2020 also included a significant net gain attributable to the disposal of a factory building by the Electronics and Acoustics Business, net of related restructuring cost provision. Excluding such net exceptional gain reported during 3QYTDFY2020, profit attributable to the equity holders of GP Industries for 3QYTDFY2021 was at a similar level to that for 3QYTDFY2020.

Impact of COVID-19

In early January 2021, two of GP Industries Group's battery factories in Malaysia voluntarily suspended their operations for about a week for complete factory cleaning and all employees scanned for COVID-19 after an asymptomatic case was identified among its employees.

Production of Nickel Metal Hydride rechargeable batteries in Malaysia has commenced during 3QFY2021. However, the relocation of production facilities for private label professional audio products to Thailand has yet to be completed.

Outlook

Although the COVID-19 pandemic is still prevalent globally, consumer demand for GP Industries Group's batteries and premium loudspeakers remains satisfactory. Availability of vaccines now may lead to the end of the pandemic and may subsequently restart the demand for GP Industries Group's professional audio products as music performances resume after social distancing measures are relaxed.

The on-going trade issues between the People's Republic of China ("China") and the US, if remain unresolved, will likely continue to have an impact on GP Industries Group's businesses. Strengthening of the Renminbi and volatility of raw material prices may affect profitability. Global component supply shortages and insufficient global shipping capacity could also temporarily affect the operation effectiveness and our logistics costs.

On 5 January 2021, GP Industries announced that the Batteries Business has entered into an agreement to lease certain land and buildings located in Dongguan, China, as a new manufacturing campus. On 31 January 2021, GP Industries announced that GP Industries Group has entered into agreements to dispose of two of its subsidiaries, which owns certain land and buildings in China. The existing batteries manufacturing activities of these two subsidiaries will be transferred either to the new Dongguan campus or to other facilities in Southeast Asia.

GP Industries Group will continue its strategy to build its brands, business network and e-Commerce infrastructure and capabilities. GP Industries Group will also continue to invest into technology, developing new products and further automating its factories to further enhance GP Industries Group's competitiveness.
