The consideration for the Acquisition is RMB11,514,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$10,862,264). Particulars of the Acquisition Agreement are set out in the paragraph headed "Acquisition Agreement" of this announcement. As Mr Pang is an executive Director and a substantial shareholder of the Company, the Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules. Since each of applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules is less than 2.5%, the Acquisition is only subject to the reporting and announcement requirements set out in Rules 14A.45 and 14A.47 of the Listing Rules and is exempt from the independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to the articles of association of the Company, approval from the Shareholders is required for any contract, transaction or arrangement entered into between a Director and the Company. Accordingly, the Directors propose to seek the Shareholders' approval of the Acquisition Agreement at the EGM by way of a poll. Mr Pang will abstain from voting at the EGM as he is materially interested in the Acquisition Agreement.
