REASONS FOR TERMINATION OF THE FIRST LOAN AGREEMENT
The Group is principally engaged in brand management and is acting as a sourcing agent for reputablebuyers in different kinds of products. In addition, it is the Group’s corporate strategy to explore otherindustries with good business potential and growth prospects.
As previously disclosed, it is the present intention of the Company to convert the Convertible Bondsand consolidate its control in Cheong Tat. The loan amount as contemplated under the First LoanAgreement is intended to be used by Cheong Tat as partial payment for the total consideration ofRMB160 million payable by the PRC Target for the acquisition of the 60% interest in each of theOperating Companies.
As the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules), when aggregated with theCB Subscription, exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the Grant of First Loan constitutes a majortransaction to the Company and is subject to notification, announcement and shareholders’ approvalrequirements under the GEM Listing Rules.
The decision to terminate the First Loan Agreement and to enter into of the Second Loan Agreementwas arrived at in consideration of the timing of which the loan amount can be utilized by Cheong Tatfor its commitments and operations. Further financing activity, if necessary, will be subject tocompliance with the GEM Listing Rules.
Given that the proposed arrangement as contemplated under the Grant of Second Loan to support thecontinued development of Cheong Tat, apart from the loan amount, does not differ in substance fromthe Grant of First Loan, the Directors consider that the terms as contemplated under the termination ofthe First Loan Agreement and the Grant of Second Loan are fair and reasonable and are in the interestsof the Company and the Company’s shareholders as a whole.
As the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the GEM Listing Rules) in respect of the Grant ofSecond Loan, when aggregated with the CB Subscription, are more than 5% but less than 25%, theGrant of Second Loan constitutes a discloseable transaction to the Company pursuant to Rule 19.06(2)of the GEM Listing Rules and is subject to reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 19of the GEM Listing Rules.
