INTRODUCTION

The Board announces that on 20 October 2020, the Seller and the Purchaser completed the Transaction, pursuant to which the Purchaser acquired the Sale Shares from the Seller at a total consideration of US$1,833,000. Save for the share transfer form duly executed by the Seller and the Purchaser to the effect of completion of the Transaction, no sale and purchase agreement has been entered into in relation to the Transaction. A summary of the main information of the Transaction is set out below.

DETAILS OF THE TRANSACTION

Completion Date: 20 October 2020

Parties: (1) Macquarie Corporate Holdings Pty Limited (as the Seller)

(2) Comtec Renewable Energy Group Limited (as the Purchaser)

Subject Matter:

The Sale Shares, representing 50% of the total then issued shares of the Target Company as at both (1) the date of completion of the Transaction and (2) the date of this announcement.

Consideration:

The total consideration of the Sale Shares having been paid by the Purchaser to the Seller is US$1,833,000.

Completion:

Completion took place on 20 October 2020 pursuant to the share transfer form of even date duly executed by the Seller and the Purchaser.

Basis of the Consideration

The consideration for the Transaction was determined between the Seller and the Purchaser after arm's length negotiations and on normal commercial terms after taking into account, among others, the historical financial performance, business development and future prospects and the net asset value of the Target Group and the reasons and benefits set out in the section headed "Reasons for and benefits of the Transaction" in this announcement.

The net asset value of the Target Group as at 31 December 2019 and 31 October 2020 were approximately RMB 28,815,445.00 and RMB 31,177,647.00 respectively (equivalent to approximately HK$34,648,253.39 and HK$ 37,488,207.00 respectively). Accordingly, the net asset value of the Sale Shares as at 31 December 2019 and 31 October 2020 were approximately RMB 14,407,722.50 and RMB 15,588,823.50 respectively (equivalent to approximately HK$ 17,321,171.44 and HK$ 18,741,108.07 respectively). The consideration of the Transaction was US$ 1,833,000.00 (equivalent to approximately HK$ 14,212,680.92). Thus, the consideration represents a discount of approximately 18% of the net asset value of the Sale Shares as at 31 December 2019 and 24% of the net asset value of the Sale Shares as at 31 October 2020.

On the basis of the above factors, the Directors consider that the consideration is fair and reasonable and is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTION

The Group is principally engaged in, among others, the development and operation of the solar photovoltaic power stations. Considering the financial performance of the Target Group in recent years and the prosperous development in the industry of solar power energy in the future, the Board proposed to pour more resources into the business of the Target Group. Therefore, the Transaction enabled the Group to have greater control over the Target Group to expand the Group's business in solar project development, and in subsequence maximise the returns to the Shareholders. Accordingly, the Board considers that the Transaction is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

EFFECT OF THE TRANSACTION

Prior to completion of the Transaction, the Target Company was owned by the Purchaser and the Seller as to four shares thereof respectively, therefore each of the Purchaser and the Sellerheld 50% of the then total issued shares of the Target Company as at both (1) the date of completion of the Transaction and (2) the date of this announcement.

Following completion of the Transaction, the Purchaser owned eight shares of the Target Company, representing 100% the then total issued shares of the Target Company as at both (1) the date of completion of the Transaction and (2) the date of this announcement, therefore the Target Company became as an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As at the date of this announcement, the Target Company is indirectly wholly owned by the Company.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As certain applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Transaction exceeds 5% but all are less than 25% under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules, the completion of the Transaction constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.
