THE DISPOSALS OF LISTED SECURITIES
During the period from 9 October 2020 to 9 April 2021, the Company, through its wholly- owned subsidiaries, conducted on the Stock Exchange a series of on-market transactions to dispose of an aggregate of 27,300 Tencent Shares (representing approximately 0.0003% of the total issued Tencent Shares as at the date of this announcement) in the range of an average daily price between HK$536 and HK$625 per Tencent Share for an aggregate consideration of approximately HK$15,853,000 (exclusive of transaction costs).
As the Disposals were made through the open-market of the Stock Exchange, the Company is not aware of the identities of the buyers of the Tencent Shares and accordingly, to the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquires, the buyers of such Tencent Shares are Independent Third Parties.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSALS
The Group's principal businesses are the provision of financial services, including securities and commodities and futures broking, corporate finance, asset management, money lending, property investment and proprietary investments.
The Disposals provide the Group with an opportunity to realise a portion of its investment in Tencent. The Disposals were made with reference to the prevailing market price at the time of the sale and will enable the Group to realise cash resources to fund general working capital and to fund further potential investments. The Disposals realise a gain of approximately HK$0.2 million, being the difference between the aggregate consideration for the Disposals and the aggregate purchase price of the Tencent Shares sold.
As the Disposals were made at the prevailing market price on the open market of the Stock Exchange, the Directors are of the view that the Disposals were fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
