INFORMATION ABOUT THE GROUP AND THE VENDOR AND REASONS FOR THE DISPOSAL
The Group is principally engaged in garment manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing, trademark ownership and licensing, property investment and provision of security printing, general business printing and trading of printing products. The Vendor is a non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which is principally engaged in property investment.
The Directors undertake strategic review of the Group's assets from time to time with a view to maximising returns to Shareholders. Having regard to the prevailing market conditions, the Directors are of the view that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the Group to realise its investment in the Property for a reasonable return.
The Consideration was arrived at after arm's length negotiation between the Vendor and the Purchaser having considered the market value of the industrial properties nearby. The Board is of the view that the Disposal, including the Consideration, are on normal commercial terms, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the shareholders of the Company as a whole.
The Disposal is expected to enable the Company to recognise a gain of approximately HK$6,200,000 before expenses, being the premium of the Consideration over the carrying value of the Property. The proceeds of the Disposal will be applied as general working capital of the Group.
