DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY

The Board wishes to announce that on 22 August 2018 after trading hours, the Purchaser, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Preliminary Agreement with the Vendor, pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to acquire and the Vendor agreed to sell the Property at the consideration of HK$106,800,000.00.

As certain applicable percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition are above 5% but less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.
