MAJOR TRANSACTION

DISPOSAL OF A SUBSIDIARY

Reference is made to the announcement dated 16 October 2019 of the Company in relation to, among others, the Letter of Intent regarding the Disposal.

SP AGREEMENT

The Board is pleased to announce that on 30 December 2019 (after trading hours), Fulwealth, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the SP Agreement with the Purchaser, pursuant to which Fulwealth has conditionally agreed to sell, and the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase, the Sale Share (being the only issued share in HK Steel Wealth) and the Sale Loan at the total Consideration of HK$138,000,000 in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SP Agreement.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one of the applicable percentage ratios as calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal exceeds 25% but all of them are less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders' approval requirements thereunder.

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, as at the date of this announcement, neither the Purchaser nor any of her close associates hold any Shares and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the proposed resolution to approve the SP Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder in general meeting of the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Company has obtained written approvals for the Disposal from Mr. Pang and Golik Investments, a company wholly owned by Mr. Pang, which hold 163,928,082 Shares and 201,666,392 Shares respectively, representing in aggregate approximately 63.65% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement, to dispense with the holding of a general meeting of the Company pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

- 1 -

GENERAL

A circular containing, among other things, further details of the SP Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder is expected to be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 21 January 2020.

As Completion is conditional upon fulfilment (or if applicable, waiver) of the conditions precedent set out in the SP Agreement, the Disposal may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

Reference is made to the announcement dated 16 October 2019 of the Company in relation to, among others, the Letter of Intent regarding the Disposal.

The Board is pleased to announce that on 30 December 2019 (after trading hours), Fulwealth, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the SP Agreement with the Purchaser in relation to the Disposal.

SP AGREEMENT

The major terms of the SP Agreement are set out below:

Date:

30 December 2019 (after trading hours)

Parties:

(i)

Fulwealth, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as vendor

(ii)

the Purchaser, as purchaser

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after making reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons.

Subject matters

  1. the Sale Share held by Fulwealth (being the only issued share in HK Steel Wealth), free from all encumbrances and together with all rights attaching thereto as from the Completion Date, including but not limited to all dividends paid, declared or made the record date for the entitlement of which falls on or after the Completion Date; and
  2. the Sale Loan, free from all encumbrances.

As agreed between Fulwealth and the Purchaser, the Disposal shall be effected on the basis that the consolidated assets of HK Steel Wealth shall comprise cash in the amount of not less than RMB16,654,128 and the Properties and that the consolidated liabilities of HK Steel Wealth shall comprise the Sale Loan, other than which HK Steel Wealth should have no consolidated net assets or liabilities (the "Agreed Financial Positions").

Earnest Money, Deposit and Consideration

Pursuant to the terms of the Letter of Intent, the Purchaser paid to Fulwealth on the date of the Letter of Intent a sum of HK$20,000,000 in earnest money (the "Earnest Money"). As required under the terms of the SP Agreement, the Purchaser is required to pay to Fulwealth a further sum of HK$20,000,000 as deposit (the "Deposit") on or before the date of the SP Agreement.

If Completion does not take place in accordance with the terms of the SP Agreement because of the default of Fulwealth, Fulwealth shall refund the Deposit to the Purchaser. Save as aforesaid, neither the Earnest Money (or any part thereof) nor the Deposit (or any part thereof) received by Fulwealth is refundable under any circumstances.

- 2 -

The total Consideration is HK$138,000,000, which shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Fulwealth in cash in the following manner:

  1. the Earnest Money and the Deposit will be applied at Completion to set off against an equivalent aggregate amount of HK$40,000,000 of the Consideration; and
  2. the balance of HK$98,000,000 shall be paid on or before the Completion Date.

The Consideration was determined after arm's length negotiations between Fulwealth and the Purchaser with reference to, among other things, (i) the estimation of the fair value of the Properties held by HK Steel Wealth; and (ii) cash in the amount of not less than RMB16,654,128 held by Dongguan Steel Wealth at the Completion Date.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Consideration is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions precedent

Completion is conditional upon the satisfaction or (where applicable) waiver of the following:

  1. (where applicable) the Purchaser having obtained all approvals from all relevant government departments, authorities and/or third parties for the implementation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated under the SP Agreement;
  2. the Purchaser having been satisfied with the results of the due diligence review against the Sale Share and the Sale Loan;
  3. the approval from the Shareholders for the SP Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder having been obtained in general meeting of the Company or by way of written approval(s) pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules;
  4. the Company having despatched to the Shareholders a circular in relation to the SP Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder in accordance with the Listing Rules; and
  5. the warranties given by Fulwealth under the SP Agreement remaining true and accurate and not misleading in all material respects.

The Purchaser may at its absolute discretion at any time waive in writing any of the conditions precedent set out in sub-paragraphs (2) and (5) above. Save as aforesaid, none of the conditions precedent may be waived.

If all the conditions precedent shall not have been fulfilled (or, where applicable, waived) on or before 30 September 2020 or such later date as may be agreed in writing between Fulwealth and the Purchaser, all the rights and obligations of the parties to the SP Agreement shall cease immediately (save for the provisions relating to, among others, confidentiality, costs and expenses, notices and governing law), and no party to the SP Agreement shall have any claim against or liability to the other.

- 3 -

Completion

Subject to the fulfilment (or, where applicable, waived) in full of the conditions precedent set out in the paragraph headed "Conditions precedent" above, Completion shall take place on a date on or before 30 September 2020 (or such later date as may be agreed in writing between Fulwealth and the Purchaser) as designated by Fulwealth and the Purchaser.

In the event that the Agreed Financial Positions are not fully met as at the Completion Date, Fulwealth shall undertake in favour of the Purchaser to assist the Purchaser for a period of six months (or such longer period as may be agreed between Fulwealth and the Purchaser) commencing from the date of the Reference Financial Report as at the Completion Date to satisfy the Agreed Financial Positions.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Directors consider that the Disposal is one of the Group's restructuring strategies. Through the Disposal, the Group will be able to reallocate more financial resources to its core business and for future development.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the SP Agreement are fair and reasonable, and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS AND USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE DISPOSAL

Upon Completion, the Company expects to recognise an unaudited estimated disposal gain of approximately HK$103,440,000 calculated with reference to (i) the total Consideration of HK$138,000,000 payable by the Purchaser under the Disposal; (ii) the unaudited carrying amount of the Properties of approximately HK$15,307,000 held by HK Steel Wealth as at the Completion Date;

  1. cash balance of RMB16,654,128 (equivalent to approximately HK$18,653,000) held by Dongguan Steel Wealth as at the Completion Date; and (iv) estimated related transaction expenses of approximately HK$600,000 payable by the Group in connection with the Disposal. The final disposal gain at the Completion Date is subject to actual balances of relevant items (ii) & (iii) above held by HK Steel Wealth and Dongguan Steel Wealth at the Completion Date.

The net proceeds from the Disposal (after deducting transaction costs and professional expenses) are approximately HK$137,400,000. The Group intends to use such net proceeds to strengthen the general working capital of the Group.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one of the applicable percentage ratios as calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal exceeds 25% but all of them are less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders' approval requirements thereunder.

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, as at the date of this announcement, neither the Purchaser nor any of her close associates hold any Shares and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the proposed resolution to approve the SP Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder in general meeting of the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Company has obtained written approvals for the Disposal from Mr. Pang and Golik Investments, a company wholly owned by Mr. Pang, which hold 163,928,082 Shares and 201,666,392 Shares respectively, representing in aggregate approximately 63.65% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement, to dispense with the holding of a general meeting of the Company pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

GENERAL

A circular containing, among other things, further details of the SP Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder is expected to be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 21 January 2020.

As Completion is conditional upon fulfilment (or if applicable, waiver) of the conditions precedent set out in the SP Agreement, the Disposal may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
