The respective boards of directors of Multifield and Oriental Explorer are pleased to announce that Completion of the Transactions took place on 31 July 2020.

References are made to (i) the joint announcement of Multifield International Holdings Limited ("Multifield") and Oriental Explorer Holdings Limited ("Oriental Explorer") dated 11 June 2020 (the "Joint Announcement"); (ii) the circular of Multifield dated 30 June 2020; (iii) the circular of Oriental Explorer dated 30 June 2020; (iv) the poll results announcement of Multifield dated 23 July 2020; and (v) the poll results announcement of Oriental Explorer dated 23 July 2020, in relation to, among others, the Transactions. Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Joint Announcement unless otherwise defined.

The respective boards of directors of Multifield and Oriental Explorer are pleased to announce that all the conditions precedent to the Master Agreement have been fulfilled or waived (if permitted), and Completion took place on 31 July 2020.

Upon Completion, the OE Disposal Company (which holds the OE Minority Interests and the OE Listed Securities) has ceased to be a subsidiary of Oriental Explorer, and has become a subsidiary of Multifield; on the other hand, the Multifield Disposal Company (which holds the Multifield Disposal Properties through its subsidiaries) has become a subsidiary of Oriental Explorer and thus the Multifield Disposal Company is still a subsidiary of Multifield (through its shareholdings in Oriental Explorer).
