  1. a letter from Luso International Banking Limited ("Luso International") or Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (Macau) Limited ("ICBC Macau") confirming that all liabilities under and security created in favour of ICBC Macau in connection with the transferable term loan facility granted by ICBC Macau to MFW Investment ("ICBC Loan Facility") pursuant to the transferable term loan facility agreement dated 8 April 2014 and the variation agreement dated 29 March 2018 entered into between ICBC Macau and MFW Investment having been fully and unconditionally discharged and released, having been received by the Offeror from the Vendors;
  2. a letter addressed to Mr. David Chow from Luso International confirming that Mr. David Chow has delivered to Luso International a letter notifying Luso International of the transfer of the Sale Shares in accordance with the term loan facility agreement dated 4 September 2020 entered into among MFW Investment, Hong Hock Development, the Company, Mr. David Chow, Mr. Li, CMB Wing Lung Bank Limited ("CMB Wing Lung") and Luso International, having been received by the Offeror from the Vendors; and

Conditions (i) and (ii) above are waivable by the Offeror.

Background to condition (i)

On 4 September 2020, MFW Investment has obtained a new loan facility from Luso International and CMB Wing Lung (the "New Facility") for the purpose of refinancing the existing ICBC Loan Facility. Upon completion of the drawdown of the New Facility, Luso International and CMB Wing Lung replaced ICBC Macau as the new lenders and the liabilities of the Company under the ICBC Loan Facility and the security created thereunder in favour of ICBC Macau have been discharged and released.

As at the date of the Share Purchase Agreement, the New Facility has not been drawn down and as such, the repayment of the ICBC Loan Facility has not been completed. Therefore, the parties to the Share Purchase Agreement considered and agreed that condition (i) above will be fulfilled upon by either Luso International (as the facility agent under the New Facility) or ICBC Macau (as the lender of the ICBC Loan Facility) confirming the full and unconditional discharge and release of the liabilities of MFW Investment and the security created under the ICBC Loan Facility. Further, as Luso International will repay the loan indebted to ICBC Macau directly for MFW Investment and discharge the relevant security, the parties to the Share Purchase Agreement considered that Luso International is in a position as well to confirm the release and discharge.

If any of the above conditions have not been satisfied (or waived by the Offeror, where applicable) on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Long Stop Date, each of the Vendors and the Offeror shall not be bound to proceed with the sale and purchase of the Sale Shares and the Share Purchase Agreement shall automatically and immediately terminate.

As at the date of this joint announcement, all of the conditions have been satisfied.

INTENTION OF THE OFFEROR ON THE GROUP

The Offeror does not intend to introduce any major changes to the existing operations and business of the Group upon the close of the Offer.

Following the close of the Offer, the Offeror will conduct a review on the operations and financial position of the Group for the purpose of formulating business plans and strategies for the Group's long-term business development and will explore other business opportunities for the Group. Subject to the results of the review, and should suitable investment or business opportunities arise, the Offeror may consider whether any assets and/or business acquisitions or disposals by the Group will be appropriate in order to enhance its growth.

17

The Offeror has no intention to terminate the employment of any employees of the Group or to make significant changes to any employment (except for a proposed change to the members of the Board at a time no earlier than that permitted under the Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code or such later time as the Offeror considers to be appropriate as further disclosed in the paragraph headed "Proposed change to the Board composition of the Company" below and a change in company secretary) or to dispose of or re-allocate the Group's fixed assets which are not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group as a result of completion of the Offer. However, the Offeror reserves the right to make any changes that it deems necessary or appropriate to the Group's business and operations to optimise the value of the Group.

As at the date of this joint announcement, no investment or business opportunity has been identified nor has the Offeror entered into any agreement, arrangement, understanding or negotiation in relation to the injection of any assets or business into the Group.

As at the date of this joint announcement, the Board comprises Mr. David Chow, Ms. Chan Mei Yi, Melinda, Mr. Sheldon Trainor-DeGirolamo and Mr. Chow Wan Hok, Donald as executive Directors; Mr. Tong Ka Wing, Carl and Ms. Ho Chiulin, Laurinda as the non-executive Directors and Mr. Fong Chung, Mark, Mr. Xie Min and Madam Tam Wai Chu, Maria as the independent non-executive Directors.

No Directors will resign before the close of the Offer. The Offeror intends to nominate three new Directors to the Board for appointment with effect from a date which is no earlier than such date as permitted under Rule 26.4 of the Takeovers Code. It is the intention of the Offeror that after the close of the Offer, Mr. David Chow will continue to be the co-chairman of the Company and will become a non-executive Director and Ms. Chan Mei Yi, Melinda will continue to act as the executive Director and the chief executive officer of the Company, while Mr. Chow Wan Hok, Donald and Mr. Sheldon Trainor-DeGirolamo will resign as executive Directors and Mr. Tong Ka Wing, Carl will resign as the non-executive Director and the co-chairman of the Board, and the Offeror has no intention to change the other existing Directors.

Further announcement(s) will be made upon any changes to the composition to the Board in compliance with the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules as and when appropriate.

PUBLIC FLOAT AND MAINTAINING THE LISTING STATUS OF THE COMPANY

The Offeror intends to maintain the listing of the Shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange upon the close of the Offer. As disclosed in the supplemental prospectus of the Company dated 26 June 2013, the Company has applied for, and the Stock Exchange has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with the minimum public float requirement of 25% and accepted a lower percentage of 19.04% upon listing of the Shares. The Stock Exchange has stated that if, upon closing of the Offer, less than the prescribed percentage applicable to the Company, being 19.04% of the issued Shares, are held by the public, or if the Stock Exchange believes that (i) a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the Shares; or (ii) there are insufficient Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market, it will consider exercising its discretion to suspend trading in the Shares until the prescribed level of public float is restored.

The Offeror and the new Directors to be appointed to the Board (if any) will undertake to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float exists in the Shares, which may include but not limited to placing down of sufficient number of accepted Shares by the Offeror and/or issue of additional Shares by the Company for this purpose. No arrangements have been confirmed or put in place as at the date of this joint announcement. Further announcement(s) will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code as and when appropriate.

DEALINGS DISCLOSURE

The full text of Note 11 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code is reproduced below pursuant to Rule 3.8 of the Takeovers Code:

19

"Stockbrokers, banks and others who deal in relevant securities on behalf of clients have a general duty to ensure, so far as they are able, that those clients are aware of the disclosure obligations attaching to associates of an offeror or the offeree company and other persons under Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code and that those clients are willing to comply with them. Principal traders and dealers who deal directly with investors should, in appropriate cases, likewise draw attention to the relevant rules of the Takeovers Code. However, this does not apply when the total value of dealings (excluding stamp duty and commission) in any relevant security undertaken for a client during any 7 day period is less than HK$1 million.

This dispensation does not alter the obligation of principals, associates and other persons themselves to initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever total value is involved.

Intermediates are expected to co-operate with the Executive in its dealings enquiries. Therefore, those who deal in relevant securities should appreciate that stockbrokers and other intermediaries will supply the Executive with relevant information as to those dealings, including identities of clients, as part of that co-operation."
