JOINT MONTHLY UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT

PURSUANT TO RULE 3.7 OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

This announcement is made jointly by National Arts Entertainment and Culture Group Limited ("National Arts") and Convoy Global Holdings Limited ("Convoy") pursuant to Rule 3.7 of the Hong Kong Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeovers Code").

Reference is made to the announcement jointly issued by National Arts and Convoy dated

  1. July 2020 (the "Rule 3.7 Announcement"), the announcements issued by National Arts dated
  2. July 2020, 17 August 2020 and 21 August 2020, and the announcements issued by Convoy dated 17 August 2020 and 24 August 2020 in relation to the possible conditional voluntary share exchange offer by National Arts to acquire shares in Convoy. Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Rule 3.7 Announcement.

As set out in the announcements issued by National Arts dated 17 August 2020 and 21 August 2020, the Listing Division of the Stock Exchange informed National Arts of its decision in its letter dated 14 August 2020 that it considered the Possible Offer a reverse takeover of National Arts under Rule 19.06B of the GEM Listing Rules and it would treat National Arts as a new listing applicant under Rule 19.54 of the GEM Listing Rules if the Possible Offer were to proceed (the "Decision"). The National Arts Board disagrees with the Decision and has submitted a formal request to the Stock Exchange for a review of the Decision by the GEM Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange pursuant to Rule 4.06(1) of the GEM Listing Rules (the "Review").

PROGRESS OF THE POSSIBLE OFFER

National Arts and Convoy would like to inform their respective shareholders that discussions are still on-going between the parties on the Possible Offer, including as to how and when the Possible Offer will be made, which will be subject to, inter alia, the timetable and outcome of the Review, the financial information of Convoy and other information which would be required to be included in documentation to be sent to shareholders of National Arts and Convoy in relation to the Possible Offer.

Each of National Arts and Convoy will publish further announcements regarding the Possible Offer in compliance with the GEM Listing Rules, the Main Board Listing Rules and the Takeovers Code as and when appropriate.

CONTINUED SUSPENSION OF TRADING IN CONVOY SHARES

At the request of Convoy, trading in Convoy Shares on the Stock Exchange was halted from 11:04 a.m. on 7 December 2017 (automatically converted to "being suspended" thereafter), and will remain suspended until further notice.
