THE PRELIMINARY SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT

The principal terms of the Preliminary Sale and Purchase Agreement are as follows:

Date: 16 September 2020

Vendor: Top Form Brassiere Mfg. Co., Limited, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company

Purchaser: Win Smart International Limited

To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.

Property

13th Floor with roof, Fuk Chiu Factory Building, No. 20 Bute Street, Kowloon, Hong Kong

The Property is being used as warehouse and office premises by the Group immediately before the Disposal.

  3. the balance in the sum of HK$25,200,000 shall be paid in full upon completion of the Disposal.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The carrying value of the Property was HK$0 in the audited consolidated accounts of the Company as at 30 June 2020. The Group is expected to recognize an unaudited gain of approximately HK$28,000,000 from the Disposal, which is calculated based on the consideration received by the Group from the Disposal less the carrying value of the Property as at 30 June 2020 before any expenses and tax.

Having regard to the prevailing market conditions, the Directors consider that the Disposal provides an opportunity for the Company to realize the investment value of its assets and to provide additional working capital for the Group. The Directors believe that the terms of the Disposal are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and are in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

The proceeds from the Disposal will be used as general working capital of the Group.

INFORMATION OF THE PARTIES

The Company is an investment holding company. The principal business activities of the Group are the design, manufacture and distribution of ladies' intimate apparel, principally brassieres. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, the principal business of the Purchaser is property investment.
