Save for the above negotiations, the Board is not aware of any reasons for such increase nor any other matter discloseable under the general obligation imposed by Rule 13.09 of the Listing Rules, which is or may be of a price-sensitive nature. At the request of the Company, trading in Shares on the Stock Exchange was suspended from 2:30 p.m. on 7 February 2005 pending the release of this announcement. An application has been made by the Company to the Stock Exchange for resumption of trading in Shares on the Stock Exchange with effect from 9:30 a.m. on 8 March 2005. Shareholders and potential investors should note that the Acquisition and the Placing, which are subject to a number of conditions, may or may not be completed. Shareholders and potential investors are reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares. THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT Date : 7 February 2005 Purchaser : The Company Vendors : Mr. Chen Nien Chong and Mr. Tran Dinh To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries, the Vendors are Independent Third Parties. Asset to be acquired : The Sale Shares, being the 10 shares of US$1 each in the share capital of Guohua International beneficially owned by the Vendors, representing the entire issued share capital of Guohua International. Consideration : The consideration shall be satisfied upon completion partly in cash (HK$50,000,000) and partly by the allotment and issue of such number of Consideration Shares which will represent 22.7% of the Enlarged Share Capital as a result of the issue of the Consideration Shares and the Placing. At the time of entering into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Company has not agreed with the placing agent on any detailed terms (including the number of Placing Shares and the price per Share) of the proposed Placing. It is currently expected that 600,000,000 Consideration Shares will be allotted and issued to the Vendors. In the event that the 600,000,000 Consideration Shares represent less than or account for more than 22.7% of the Enlarged Share Capital as a result of the issue of the Consideration Shares and the Placing Shares, the number of Consideration Shares to be allotted and issued to the Vendors should be adjusted accordingly so that the actual number of Consideration Shares, in aggregate, shall represent 22.7% of the Enlarged Share Capital as a result of the issue of the Consideration Shares and the Placing Shares. For illustrative purpose only, based on the closing price of the Shares of HK$0.52 per Share on the Last Full Trading Day, the 600,000,000 Consideration Shares will be valued at HK$312,000,000 and the total consideration for the Acquisition will be HK$362,000,000.
