INFORMATION OF THE BORROWER AND THE GUARANTORS

The Borrower is a company incorporated in Canada for the purpose of holding the Property and the Equipment. The Corporate Guarantors are the only shareholders of the Borrower. 7925395 Canada Corporation (being one of the Corporate Guarantors) is principally engaging in the business of buying and selling pharmaceuticals and medical devices and is wholly-owned by Mr. Volodymyr Burko (being one of the Personal Guarantors). TS Pharmaceuticals Ltd. (being the other one of the Corporate Guarantors) is principally engaging in the business of buying and selling pharmaceuticals and medical devices and is wholly-owned by Mr. Tacquinn David Soochan (being the other one of the Personal Guarantors).

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Borrower, the Corporate Guarantors and the Personal Guarantors (being the ultimate beneficial owners of the Borrower and the Corporate Guarantors) are Independent Third Parties and not connected with the Group.

INFORMATION OF THE GROUP AND THE LENDER

The Lender is a company incorporated in Canada, being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The Group operates and invests in real estate development, real estate investment and distribution of building materials.

REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR ENTERING INTO THE LOAN AGREEMENT

The Property is a 2-storey commercial building with a total floor area of 18,201 square feet erected on a piece of land of a site area of 0.85 acres. The Borrower has informed the Lender that the Property is being acquired for its own use and it is currently in the process of applying for a mortgage loan from a bank in Canada which is not available in time to close its acquisition of the Property (together with the Equipment situated at the Property) and therefore the Borrower is required to obtain the Loan to bridge the gap.

The value of the Property as at 29 January 2021 as valued by an independent valuer was CAD7,300,000 (equivalent to HKD45,260,000). The Equipment was valued at between CAD4,250,000 to CAD4,500,000 (equivalent to HKD26,350,000 to HKD27,900,000) according to an appraisal report of an independent asset appraiser dated 12 January 2021.

Having considered (i) the value of the Property and the Equipment provided by the Borrower as securities, (ii) the terms of the Loan and (iii) the expected return on the Loan, the Directors are of the view that the advancement of the Loan will bring a stable interest income to the Group with an acceptable protection over the Group's interest over the Loan being lent.

4

The terms of the Loan Agreement (including the interest rate) were arrived at by the parties thereto after arm's length negotiations, with reference to prevailing commercial practice in the market concerned. The Directors consider that the terms of the Loan Agreement are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable and are in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As one or more percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the principal amount of the Loan exceeds 5% but all such ratios are less than 25%, the grant of the Loan constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
