DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION

DISPOSAL OF LISTED SECURITIES IN

AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND BANKING GROUP LIMITED

THE DISPOSAL

The Board wishes to announce that on 31 March 2021, the Company, through its wholly- owned subsidiary, IBI Investment Holdings Limited, disposed on the open market a total of 94,900 ANZ Shares at an aggregate consideration of approximately AUD2,676,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$15,763,000) (exclusive of transaction costs) at an average price of approximately AUD28.20 (equivalent to approximately HK$166.10) per ANZ Share.

As a result of the Disposal, the Group expects to realise a gain of approximately HK$7,506,000, being the difference between the aggregate consideration for the Disposal and the aggregate purchase price of the ANZ Shares sold.

As the Disposal was conducted through the open market, the Company is not aware of the identities of the buyers of the ANZ Shares. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the buyers of ANZ Shares and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties.

THE LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more than one of the applicable percentage ratios for the Disposal, is more than 5% and below 25%, the Disposal constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the notification and announcement requirements but exempt from the Shareholders' approval requirement pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

THE DISPOSAL

The Board wishes to announce that on 31 March 2021, the Company, through its wholly- owned subsidiary, IBI Investment Holdings Limited, disposed on the open market a total of 94,900 ANZ Shares at an aggregate consideration of approximately AUD2,676,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$15,763,000) (exclusive of transaction costs) at an average price of approximately AUD28.20 (equivalent to approximately HK$166.10) per ANZ Share, which is settled in cash.

As the Disposal was conducted through the open market, the Company is not aware of the identities of the buyers of the ANZ Shares. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the buyers of ANZ Shares and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are Independent Third Parties.

Assets disposed

The ANZ Shares disposed of by the Group represented approximately 0.003335% of the total issued share capital of ANZ as at the date of this announcement. Upon the completion of the Disposal, the Group would not hold any ANZ Shares.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The principal activities of the Group are as a building contractor focusing on providing renovation services for property projects in the private sector in Hong Kong and Macau.

Based on the recent market prices of ANZ Shares, the Directors are of the view that the Disposal represented an opportunity to realise the Group's investments in the ANZ Shares so as to enhance the cash flow of the Group.

As a result of the Disposal, the Group expects to realise a gain of approximately HK$7,506,000, being the difference between the aggregate consideration for the Disposal and the aggregate purchase price of the ANZ Shares sold. The Directors intend to use the net proceeds from the Disposal as general working capital of the Group.

As the Disposal was conducted at market price of ANZ Shares at the time of the Disposal, the Directors are of the view that the Disposal was fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
