Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Renewed Products and Services Master Agreement
The Group's core business is the development and operation of casinos and related facilities in Macau. The STDM Group is a conglomerate principally engaged in, among others, hospitality operation and management and transportation (including ferry and aviation services) in Macau. The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the provision of Products and Services under the Renewed Products and Services Master Agreement is a necessary component of the Group's business since, primarily, it facilitates the Group to provide its gaming patrons and guests with hotel accommodation, entertainment, transportation and other services. The Board (excluding the Abstained Directors but including the independent non-executive Directors) considers the execution of the Renewed Products and Services Master Agreement is in the ordinary and usual course of the business of the Group as

the procurement of Products and Services is a necessary component of the Group's ongoing business and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Board (excluding the Abstained Directors but including the independent non-executive Directors) is of the view that the terms of the Renewed Products and Services Master Agreement (including the Annual Caps) are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable so far as the independent Shareholders are concerned.
- THE CHIPS AGREEMENT
-
Background
Reference is made to the Prospectus under the section headed ''Connected Transactions'' regarding, among other things, the Chips Agreement dated 18 June 2008 entered into between SJM and STDM to regulate the honouring, borrowing and use of the STDM Chips for the purposes of SJM's gaming operations.
Since 1 April 2002, SJM had been borrowing the STDM Chips for the purpose of its business operation. STDM has agreed to reimburse SJM for the aggregate face value of the STDM Chips honoured by SJM that were not sold by SJM. Since SJM has secured its own supply of chips and is no longer borrowing any STDM Chips, the overall value of the STDM Chips redeemed has declined substantially from the levels seen in earlier years.
As the associated annual caps for the Chips Agreement will end on 31 December 2019, the Board approved new annual caps for transactions under the Chips Agreement for each of the three years ending 31 December 2022. - Historical transaction amounts and the Annual Caps
The following table sets out the historical amount of the STDM Chips redeemed for the two years ended 31 December 2018 and the nine months ended 30 September 2019 and the Annual Caps for the transactions under the Chips Agreement for each of the three years ending 31 December 2022.

The Annual Caps for the STDM Chips to be redeemed were determined by reference to the outstanding amount of the STDM Chips in circulation.
-
Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Chips Agreement
As disclosed in the Prospectus, the STDM Group used to engage in gaming operations in Macau. When the Concession Contract was executed, a certain quantity of the STDM Chips was in circulation in the market. Pursuant to the Concession Contract, SJM is permitted to use the STDM Chips provided that SJM honours the STDM Chips presented for payment by patrons and clients. Furthermore, at the early stage following the execution of the Concession Contract, SJM did not have sufficient casino chips of its own to meet its business needs and therefore had to borrow additional STDM Chips from STDM for the purpose of its casino gaming operations. Subsequently SJM has secured its own supply of chips and is no longer borrowing any STDM Chips.
The Board (excluding the Abstained Directors but including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the Annual Caps for the STDM Chips to be redeemed are fair and reasonable so far as the independent Shareholders are concerned.

Historical transaction amounts, the value of right-of-use assets and the Annual Caps
Upon implementation of HKFRS 16 ''Lease'' effective from 1 January 2019, the Group, when entering into a lease transaction as lessee, may recognise the right-of-use assets in the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group according to HKFRS 16. The value of the right-of-use assets to be recognised by the Group for such transactions under the Renewed Premises Leasing Master Agreement represents the present value of the estimated aggregate rental payments for such transactions payable by the Group to the STDM Group in accordance with HKFRS 16 ''Leases''.
On the other hand, certain rental and related payments to be made by the Group to the STDM Group under the Renewed Premises Leasing Master Agreement will not be recognised as the right-of-use assets in the statement of financial position of the Group but will continue to be recognised as expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss of the Group.
The following table sets out the historical expenditures in relation to the rental and related payments made by the Group to the STDM Group recognised as expenses in the consolidated statement of profit or loss of the Group for the two years ended 31 December 2018 and the nine months ended 30 September 2019 and the Annual Caps for the transactions under the Renewed Premises Leasing

Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Renewed Premises Leasing Master Agreement
The STDM Group is one of the most prominent landowners in Macau and, at the time of the Company's listing in 2008, owned a number of properties in which the Group operated, including part of Casino Lisboa. The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the lease of properties pursuant to the Renewed Premises Leasing Master Agreement is a necessary component of the Group's ongoing business. The Board (excluding the Abstained Directors but including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the transactions under the Renewed Premises Leasing Master Agreement will be conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the terms of the Renewed Premises Leasing Master Agreement are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable so far as the independent Shareholders are concerned.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
STDM is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules by virtue of it being the controlling shareholder of the Company interested in approximately 54.06% of the issued shares of the Company.
