REASONS FOR THE TRANSACTION

The Group is principally engaged in investment, trading and development of properties and securities investment and trading.

The Directors consider that it is in the commercial interests of the Company since Monilea receives recurring rentals in connection with the Office Premises. Since iOne is a connected person to the Company, on the same commercial terms as would be offered to third parties, Monilea would prefer to rent the Office Premises to iOne which and which business the Directors of the Company are familiar with.

The terms of the Tenancy Agreement were arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Company and iOne with reference to the market terms of similar office properties in Hong Kong and the professional valuation report issued by Ascent Partners Valuation Service Limited dated 16 September 2020.

The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider that the transactions contemplated under the Tenancy Agreements are in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company and the terms of the Tenancy Agreements are based on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the independent Shareholders as a whole.

Mr. Pong, being an executive Director who has a material interest in the transaction contemplated under the Tenancy Agreement, has abstained from voting on the relevant board resolutions of the Company approving the same. Mr. Lee, who is common Director of the Company and iOne, has also abstained from voting on the relevant board resolutions of the Company approving the same due to his potential conflict of interests.
