As at the date of this announcement, the outstanding Convertible Bonds and interests accrued and unpaid amounted to EUR5,000,000 (which is equivalent to approximately HK$47,050,000) and EUR250,000 (which is equivalent to approximately HK$2,352,500), respectively. The carrying amounts of Convertible

Date:
25 March 2021
Parties: | (i) | CondorTech; |
(ii) | United Noble; | |
(iii) | Scan4all; and | |
(iv) | FW. |
To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after having made all reasonable enquiry, each of the CondorTech, Scan4all and FW and their respective ultimate beneficial owners is an Independent Third Party.
As at the date of the Settlement Agreement, Scan4all is indebted to CondorTech in an amount in principal of EUR 4,155,656.68 (which is equivalent to approximately HK$39,401,729) and related accrued interests of EUR 1,213,476.26 (which is equivalent to approximately HK$11,418,812) (the
"Scan4all Debts").
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, United Noble agreed to sell to FW, and FW agreed to purchase from United Noble, all the Convertible Bonds free from any encumbrance and together with all rights attached thereto with effect on the date of the Settlement Agreement at a purchase price of EUR 5,225,000 (which is equivalent to approximately HK$49,167,250). Immediately upon completion of the transfer of the Convertible Bonds from United Noble to FW, both CondorTech and United Noble shall be released from: (i) all and any of their liabilities under the subscription agreement for the Convertible Bonds, and (ii) all and any of their liabilities they may have towards each other under the Exclusive Distribution Agreement.
The purchase price of EUR5,225,000 (which is equivalent to approximately HK$49,167,250) for the transfer of the Convertible Bonds from United Noble to FW was determined taking into consideration of the principal amount of the Convertible Bonds of EUR 5,000,000 (which is equivalent to approximately HK$47,050,000) together with interest received in advance at 3% per annum based on deferred payment, and shall be payable in cash as follows:

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT
As stated in the announcement of the Company dated 30 November 2020, despite various attempts made by United Noble to follow up with CondorTech on the repayment, CondorTech has not made any repayment for the redemption of the outstanding Convertible Bonds or the accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Upon negotiation with CondorTech and taking into consideration of the financial status of CondorTech, the Company is of the view that the entering of the Settlement Agreement and the transfer of the outstanding Convertible Bonds as contemplated thereunder provides an opportunity for the Company to recover the outstanding payment due from CondorTech in an amicable and efficient manner without incurring additional and unnecessary time, costs and effort to initiate legal proceedings against CondorTech which may also bring negative impact on the Company.
The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider that the terms of the Settlement Agreement and the transfer of the outstanding Convertible Bonds as contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE TRANSFER OF THE CONVERTIBLE BONDS
As at the date of this announcement, the outstanding Convertible Bonds and interests accrued and unpaid amounted to EUR5,000,000 (which is equivalent to approximately HK$47,050,000) and EUR250,000 (which is equivalent to approximately HK$2,352,500), respectively. The carrying amounts of Convertible Bonds' receivable measured at fair value amounted to HK$18,842,000 as at 31 December 2020.
