THE POTENTIAL DISPOSAL
The Board is pleased to announce that on 16 October 2019 (after the trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Vendor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Letter of Intent with the Purchaser pursuant to which the Vendor intends to sell and the Purchaser intends to acquire the Target Project Equity. The Potential Disposal is subject to the signing of the Formal Agreement.
POTENTIAL LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
Subject to the results of the due diligence review on the Target Project Equity by the Purchaser and further negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser on the terms of the Formal Agreement, the Vendor and the Purchaser may enter into the Formal Agreement within the Period of the Letter of Intent. Should the Formal Agreement be entered into, the Company will issue further announcement in accordance with the requirements under the Listing Rules.
On the basis that the Formal Agreement is entered into with the Selling Price remaining unchanged and the trading prices of the Shares on the Stock Exchange during the period from the date of the Letter of Intent up to the date of the Formal Agreement remaining stable, it is expected that at least one of the applicable percentage ratios in the size test calculation (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Potential Disposal would exceed 25% but all such applicable percentage ratios would be less than 75% and the Potential Disposal would then constitute a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular, the Shareholders' approval requirements under the Listing Rules.
The Potential Disposal is subject to the signing of the Formal Agreement. Therefore, the Potential Disposal may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
