REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is a one-stop solutions provider of bridesmaid dresses, bridal gowns and special occasion dresses. The Group currently operates one production facility in Dongguan City in the PRC which maintained consistently high utilisation rates. As disclosed in the Prospectus and the announcement of the Company dated 13 February 2020, the Group planned to expand the production capacity by investing in or establishing a new production facility in Vietnam, and therefore the Board considered it is for the benefit of the Group to maintain an additional warehouse and logistic center in Hong Kong to facilitate the procurement and storage of raw materials.

This new Property will serve as a centralised logistic warehouse for raw materials collection and diversion hub to the Group's existing production facility in the PRC and our intended new production facility in Vietnam. In addition, the Property is situate at the same building of the Group's headquarter and workshops in Hong Kong, which offers great convenience to the operations and management of our existing production line in Hong Kong. The Board considered that the Acquisition is fair and reasonable and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
