Consideration

The aggregate Consideration for the Properties is RMB15,508,025 (approximately HK$19,500,566), which was arrived at after arm's length negotiations between RCG China and the Purchaser with reference to the prices in comparable properties in the area.

The remaining balance of the Consideration shall be paid by cash by the Purchaser upon completion of registration in respect of the change of ownership interest in the Properties.

Completion

It is expected that the completion of the Sale and Purchase Agreements with respect to the Properties will take place within 90 business days of each of the Sale and Purchase Agreements.

After completion of the Disposals, the Company will no longer have any interests in the Properties.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Properties were acquired by the Group as an investment in the PRC. The Disposals are due to the desire of the Group to generate cash for working capital of the Group. The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Disposals are fair and reasonable and the Disposals are in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

The Company recorded an unaudited loss from the Disposals of approximately RMB4,142,000 (approximately HK$5,178,000), being the difference between the Consideration and the total investment made in Properties.

USE OF PROCEED

The proceeds for the Disposals will be used by the Group as its general working capital.
