REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE AGREEMENTS
As at the date of this announcement, the Outstanding Principal and outstanding accrued interest of the loan under the Loan Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Agreements) are approximately HK$1,005,858,000 and HK$108,688,000, respectively, and such loan is secured by the Listar Share Mortgage.
As at the date of this announcement, the Digital Huigu Outstanding Principal and outstanding accrued interest of the loan under the Digital Huigu Loan Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Digital Huigu Loan Agreement) are approximately HK$342,506,000 and HK$76,646,000, respectively, and such loan is secured by the Listar Share Mortgage.
Comparing with the prevailing interest rate for time deposits being offered by banks to the public, the interest rate under the Agreements remains attractive. The Company considers that the Agreements will generate a stable interest income and offer a higher return to the Group when comparing with the interest to be earned by making a Hong Kong dollar time deposit with financial institutions in Hong Kong.
Save for funding required in connection with the acquisition of Digicine Oristar under the SPA, the Group does not have material funding requirement in the next three (3) years despite it will keep on spending in research and development for maintaining the competitiveness of its product lines. As a result, the Group considers the opportunity of earning interest at the relatively higher rate of 8.0% per annum from Nan Hai to be beneficial to the Group.
The Board (excluding (i) member of the Independent Board Committee whose view will be subject to the opinion of an independent financial adviser to be appointed in connection with the Agreements, and (ii) Mr. Yu Pun Hoi who is deemed to be interested in Nan Hai and has
- 7 -
abstained from voting on the relevant resolution at the board meeting) considers that the Agreements and the transactions contemplated therein are on normal commercial terms and the terms and conditions of the Agreements are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and Shareholders as a whole.
As Mr. Xiao Sui Ning and Mr. Ho Yeung Nang, independent non-executive Directors, are also the independent non-executive directors of Nan Hai, they are not considered sufficiently independent to give advice or recommendation to the independent Shareholders in relation to the Agreements. Accordingly, Mr. Fung Wing Lap, the remaining independent non-executive Director, has been appointed to form the Independent Board Committee to advise the independent Shareholders, and an independent financial adviser will be appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee in relation to the Agreements.
