Basis of Consideration

The

of the Target Assets prepared by the Independent Property Valuer

engaged by the Company. The appraised value of the Target Assets is

approximately RMB60.06 million as at 28 November 2019.

obligations and liabilities of the Vendor and the Purchaser to each

other thereunder shall cease immediately upon such termination.

Completion

The Target Assets shall be handed over to the Purchaser on the first

INFORMATION OF THE PARTIES

The Vendor

The Vendor is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the PRC. It was principally engaged in garment manufacturing activities in Dongguan, the PRC and it has no operation at present.

The Target Assets used to form a part of the Group's production facility but have now ceased operation.

The Purchaser

The Purchaser is a company incorporated in the PRC. It is principally engaged in software and information technology services. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiry, each of the Purchaser and its UBO is an Independent Third Party.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Group is principally engaged in (i) manufacture and trading of garments; and (ii) product design and retail sale of the Group's own brand apparel products.

Having taken into account the current property market conditions, the Board considers that the Disposal will enable the Company to centralize its resources by realising the value of the Target Assets.

The terms of the Disposal Agreement were determined after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Purchaser and the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Disposal Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

Before the Disposal, the Vendor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Target Assets. Upon Completion, the Vendor will cease to have any interest in the Target Asset. It is estimated that the Group will record a gain of approximately HK$24,323,000 as a result of the Disposal, being the difference between (i) the Consideration after deducting relevant expenses and taxes, and (ii) the net book value of the Target Assets as at 30 September 2019 in the amount of approximately HK$45,932,000. Shareholders should note that the financial effect is shown for reference only and the actual amount of gain or loss as a result of the Disposal is subject to audit by the auditors.

4

INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS

After deducting transaction costs and taxes of approximately HK$8,000,000, the estimated net proceeds from the Disposal will amount to approximately HK$70,255,000. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposal to the general working capital of the Group and payment of a special dividend, which is subject to the Completion, in the amount of approximately HK$7.88 million. Further announcement will be made by the Company in respect of the special dividend after Completion has taken place.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable Percentage Ratios calculated in respect of the Disposal is more than 25% but below 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction for the Company which is subject to the announcement, circular and shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

GENERAL

The EGM will be convened and held for Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Disposal Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

A circular containing, among other matters, (1) details of the Disposal Agreement and the Disposal; (2) valuation report of the Target Assets; (3) other information as required to be disclosed under the Listing Rules; and (4) the notice of the EGM and a form of proxy is expected to be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 23 December 2019 as more time is required to prepare the information for inclusion in the circular. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiry, no Shareholder has a material interest in the matters which are the subject of the Disposal such that it must abstain from voting, and, accordingly, all Shareholders will be permitted to vote at the EGM.

Warning:

The Completion is conditional on the Conditions Precedent being fulfilled. Accordingly, the Disposal may or may not materialize. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are therefore reminded to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares of the Company.
