(Stock Code : 199) FURTHER UPDATE ON THE MAJOR TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE DISPOSAL OF INTEREST IN PARAGON WINNER COMPANY LIMITED
The Board wishes to announce that up to the Cut Off Date, the
Purchaser has paid to the Vendor the First Amount of HK$115
million and the Second Amount of HK$200 million. According to
the intentions of the Purchaser and the Vendor as set out in
the MOU, the New Percentage is calculated at approximately
44.44%.
As at the date of this announcement, the Purchaser and the
Vendor are negotiating on the detailed terms of the Second
Supplemental Agreement. The MOU does not oblige either the
Purchaser or the Vendor to proceed with the Amendments and
does not affect any claims or rights the Vendor may have
under the Disposal Agreement (as varied and amended by the
Supplemental Agreement) such that the Vendor can terminate
the Disposal Agreement (as varied and amended by the
Supplemental Agreement) and forfeit all the payments that
have been made by the Purchaser to the Vendor at any time
prior to the date of the MOU notwithstanding any intervening
negotiation on the Second Supplemental Agreement.
The Company will make further announcement on the progress of
the negotiations and comply with the relevant requirements of
the Listing Rules for the Disposal if the Second Supplemental
Agreement is entered into.
References are made to the announcements of the Company dated
22nd July, 2010, 16th May, 2011, 1st November, 2011, 11th
November, 2011 and 5th December, 2011 (the "Announcements")
and the circular of the Company dated 10th August, 2010 (the
"Circular") in relation to the major transaction involving
the disposal by the Vendor (an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company) of a 65% shareholding in Paragon
Winner and 65% of all amounts which may be owing by the
Paragon Winner Group to the Vendor as at Completion.
Capitalised terms used herein have the same meanings as those
defined in the Announcements and the Circular unless
otherwise specified.

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 5th
December, 2011, the Purchaser and the Vendor entered into the
MOU regarding the Proposal, which covered, among other
things, the rescheduled payment dates for the outstanding
balance of the Consideration and the possible Amendments if
the Purchaser should make certain payments to the Vendor
before the Cut Off Date. The Board wishes to announce that up
to the Cut Off Date, the Purchaser has paid to the Vendor the
First Amount of HK$115 million and the Second Amount of
HK$200 million on 7th December, 2011 and 30th December, 2011
respectively.
As the Purchaser has paid in full the First Amount but the
Second Amount is less than the Remaining Amount, Completion
will not take place on 6th January, 2012, and the Purchaser
and the Vendor are now working towards entering into the
Second Supplemental Agreement. Based on the principal terms
of the Amendments as set out in the announcement of the
Company dated 5th December, 2011, the New Percentage,
calculated in accordance with the following formula, shall be
approximately 44.44%:
New Percentage = First Percentage + Second Percentage
where
First Percentage = 26%
Second Percentage = Second Amount
10,845,000
The MOU does not oblige either the Purchaser or the Vendor to
proceed with the Amendments and is not legally binding except
for certain obligations regarding the refund of the First
Amount and the Second Amount. In addition, the MOU does not
affect any claims or rights which the Vendor may have under
the Disposal Agreement (as varied and amended by the
Supplemental Agreement) such that the Vendor can terminate
the Disposal Agreement (as varied and amended by the
Supplemental Agreement) and forfeit all the payments that
have been made by the Purchaser to the Vendor at any time
prior to the date of the MOU notwithstanding any intervening
negotiation on the Second Supplemental Agreement. If the
Second Supplemental Agreement cannot be entered into on or
before 20th January, 2012 or any later date as agreed by the
Purchaser and the Vendor, the aggregate amount of the First
Amount and the Second Amount of HK$315 million shall be
refunded to the Purchaser without any interest but all
payments made by the Purchaser prior to the date of the MOU
(i.e. approximately HK$255.6 million, not taking into account
interest paid which belongs to the Vendor in any event) shall
be forfeited by the Vendor and the Disposal Agreement (as
varied and amended by the Supplemental Agreement) shall be
terminated.
The Company will make further announcement on the progress of
the negotiations and comply with the relevant requirements of
the Listing Rules for the Disposal if the Second Supplemental
Agreement is entered into.
By order of the Board
Hong Kong, 3rd January, 2012
