DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION

RELATING TO EXTENSION OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT

EXTENSION OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT

On 3 February 2020 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Lender, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company entered into the Extension Letter with the Borrower, an Independent Third Party to extend the date of repayment of the Loan under the Loan Agreement from 3 February 2020 to 3 February 2021. Save for the extension of the date of repayment of the Loan, all other terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement remain unchanged and in full force and effect.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the extension of the date of repayment of the Loan and the HK$4M Loan were granted to the Borrower and the beneficial owner of the Borrower respectively within a twelvemonth period, the transactions under each of the Extension Letter and the HK$4M Loan Agreement require aggregation under Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the relevant applicable percentage ratios in respect of the extension of the date of repayment of the Loan and the grant of the HK$4M Loan in aggregate are higher than 5% but less than 25%, the extension of the date of repayment of the Loan and the provision of HK$4M Loan constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules and is subject to the notification and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.
