INTRODUCTION

This announcement is made pursuant to Rule 13.09(2)(a) of the Listing Rules and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined under the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

The Board announces that after trading hours on 13 September 2019, the Company entered into the MOU with the Vendors in relation to the Proposed Acquisition.

Pursuant to the MOU, the Company will acquire from the Vendors the entire issued share capital of the Target Companies. The consideration in respect of the Proposed Acquisition will be determined by the Company and the Vendors after arm's length negotiations with reference to, among other things, the appraisal letter from an independent appraisal company appointed by both parties. The payment schedule of the consideration shall be subject to mutual agreement when the parties sign a formal definitive agreement. The MOU shall take effect from the signing date and be terminated upon mutual agreement in writing by both parties.

The MOU does not create legally binding obligations on the parties on substantive terms in relation to the Proposed Acquisition (including consideration and payment schedule of the consideration) but is legally binding as to some miscellaneous and general terms relating to confidentiality, expenses, termination, and governing laws contained therein,

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET COMPANIES

C & H Vina, incorporated in Vietnam with limited liability, is principally engaged in the manufacture and sales of tarpaulin. C & H Vina has issued share capital of VND46,480,000,000. In particular, C & H holds 99.8% of the share capital of C & H Vina; Mr. Tae Sub Choi holds 0.1% of the share capital of C & H Vina; and Mr. Jae Dong Shin holds 0.1% of the share capital of C & H Vina. Mr. Tae Sub Choi and Mr. Jae Dong Shin are the president and managing director of C & H Vina respectively.

C & H Tarps, incorporated in Vietnam with limited liability, is principally engaged in the manufacture and sales of tarpaulin. C & H Tarps is a wholly-owned subsidiary of C & H with issued share capital of VND67,908,000,000.

REASONS FOR THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

As disclosed in the Company's interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2019, the Group will consider investment opportunities for acquisition of suitable companies with growth potential to boost revenue and profit. Having considered the increasing volatility of global economy, in particular the uncertainty brought by the US-China trade war, and the recent performance of the Target Companies operating in Vietnam, the Group is of the view that the Proposed Acquisition provides an attractive investment opportunity which will accelerate the growth of the Group's revenue and profit.

Moreover, the Group has been providing processing services to C & H Vina, which constitute continuing connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisition, each of C & H Vina and C & H Tarps will become a subsidiary of the Company and the provision of processing services to C & H Vina will cease to be continuing connected transactions of the Group.

The Directors consider that the entering into of the MOU is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.
