Security

A personal guarantee executed by the guarantor, namely, Ms.

The Loan has been drawn under the Loan Agreement on the date of execution of the Loan Agreement and it was funded by internal resources of the Group.

INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND THE LENDER

The Group is principally engaged in dealerships of luxury goods and automobiles and provision of after-sales services, property management services, property rental services, film related business including development and investment in films and money lending business. The Group's operations are mainly based in Hong Kong and Mainland China.

The Lender is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and a licensed money lender in Hong Kong under the MLO.

INFORMATION ON THE BORROWER

The Borrower is a merchant and deals in environmental products. The Guarantor is a business partner of the Borrower.

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Borrower and the Guarantor are Independent Third Parties.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE GRANT OF THE LOAN FACILITY

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 25 January 2021 and 1

February 2021 in relation to the issue of the convertible bonds with aggregate principal of HK$100 million (the "CBs"). The Company planned to utilize approximately HK$90 million out of the net proceeds of the CBs for development of its money lending business and the remaining for general working capital. The issuance of the CBs has been duly completed and the Company has received net proceeds of approximately HK$99.8 million from the CBs' subscribers.

As disclosed in the announcement on 4 March 2021, the Company has utilized HK$58 million out of the proceeds of the CBs issuance for a previous loan transaction with a third party.

The Lender now finds another business opportunity to enter into the Loan Agreement with the Borrower to further expand its money lending business and the funding of the facility in sum of HK$32 million would be financed by the remaining allocated proceeds from the CBs issuance as planned.

The grant of the Loan is in the Lender's ordinary and usual course of business. The terms of the Loan Agreement were negotiated on arm's length basis between the Lender and the Borrower. The Directors consider that the terms of the Loan Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the relevant applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) for the Loan Facility exceed 5% but are less than 25%, the grant of the Loan constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the notification and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.
