The Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase, and the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell, the Sale Quota. The Sale Quota represents 80% of the registered share capital of the Target. Further particulars of the Target are set out in section headed "Information on the Target" below.

  2. the remaining balance of HK$31,440,000 shall be paid after Completion and on or before 31 December 2021 (or such other date as the Purchaser and the Vendor may agree in writing).

The Deposit has been paid by the Group with its internal resources. It is proposed that the remaining balance of the Consideration will be funded by the internal resources and/or borrowings of the Group.

The Consideration was determined after arm's length negotiations between the parties to the SP Agreement on normal commercial terms with reference to the historical performance of the Target, a valuation of the market value of approximately HK$49.2 million of the entire equity interest in the Target performed by an independent valuer using the market approach, the consideration adjustment mechanism as detailed in the paragraph headed "Consideration and its adjustment - Consideration adjustments" below and the reasons as set out in the section headed "Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition" below.

Consideration adjustments

Pursuant to the SP Agreement, the Consideration shall be subject to downward adjustments upon the occurrence of the following events:

  1. in the event that the Target has recorded an unaudited loss for the three months ending 31 December 2020, the Vendor shall pay, in cash or immediately available fund, to the Purchaser a sum ("2020 Downward Adjustment") as equal to such loss on or before 28 February 2021. For the purpose of calculating the 2020 Downward Adjustment, amongst others, the unaudited financial statements of the Target for the three months ending 31 December 2020 as delivered by the Vendor and agreed by the Purchaser shall be used as the basis of calculation; and
  2. in the event that the aggregate of the audited net profit of the Target ("Actual PAT") for the year ending 31 December 2021 and the year ending 31 December 2022 is less than HK$14,000,000 ("Guaranteed PAT"), the Vendor shall pay, in cash or immediately available fund, to the Purchaser within 14 calendar days after a statement showing the amount of the Actual PAT and its calculation are made available to the Purchaser a sum ("2021-2022Shortfall Compensation") calculated according to the following formula:
    A = (B - C)/2 x 6.69 where:
    A is the 2021-2022 Shortfall Compensation provided that such amount shall be capped at HK$15,000,000
    B is the Guaranteed PAT C is the Actual PAT
    and for the purpose of calculating the amount of the Actual PAT, amongst others:
    1. the audited net profit of the Target as shown in the respective audited financial statements of the Target for each of the year ending 31 December 2021 and the year ending 31 December 2022 shall be used as the basis of calculation;
    2. in the event the Target records a net loss in any of the year ending 31 December 2021 or the year ending 31 December 2022, the audited net profit of the Target for the corresponding financial year shall be deemed as a negative figure for summation purpose; and
    3. in the event the audited net profit of the Target in any of the year ending 31 December 2021 or the year ending 31 December 2022 records any profit, loss, income or expense which is one-off,non-recurring and non-operating nature, such audited net profit shall be adjusted by the same amount of such one-off,non-recurring and non-operating profit, loss, income or expense.

Upon Completion, the Company will hold 80% of the registered share capital of the Target, and the Vendor will hold the remaining 20% of the registered share capital of the Target. The Target will become an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and the financial results of the Target will be consolidated with the results of the Group.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Company is an investment holding company. The Group principally engages in the provision of a variety of proprietary Chinese medicine, health supplement, skin care, personal care and other healthcare products through diversified online and offline sales channels, through the operation of distributing products to chain retailers, non-chain retailers and traders, and operation of offline store, online stores and e-commerce portals to consumers.

As set out in the section headed "Business - Business strategies" in the prospectus of the Company dated 30 March 2020, as one of the Group's strategies to further expand its business and increase its market share, as a provider of a wide range of health and well-being related products, the Group aims to enhance the efficiency of market penetration of its products.

6

The Target, as a holder of the licence for import, export and wholesale of pharmaceutical products in Macau, is principally engaged in the import and distribution of pharmaceuticals, proprietary Chinese medicine and healthcare products in Macau. It is an authorised sole or exclusive distributor of certain brands of proprietary Chinese medicine and pharmaceutical products, which the Directors believe are popular products amongst the PRC tourists, in Macau. As at the date of this announcement, the Group's operations in Macau were relatively small-scale, as compared to the Group's operations in Hong Kong. Through the Acquisition, it is expected that the Group can, by utilising the Target's existing and well- established distribution channels and customer base in Macau, expand the Group's operations in Macau.

Given the proximity of Hong Kong and Macau and building on the Group's well-established and effective distribution channels in Hong Kong, the Group can increase the accessibility and availability of its products to consumers in Macau. The Group believes that the Acquisition represents an opportunity for the Group to align the distribution business of the Group in Hong Kong and Macau so as to better consolidate and utilise the brand advantages of the Group and enhance the influence of its product portfolio across the regions in the Guangdong-HongKong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

The terms of the SP Agreement were determined after arm's length negotiations between the parties thereto. In light of the above reasons, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Acquisition is in the interests of the Company and that the terms of the SP Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Given the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition is more than 5% but less than 25%, the Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and is subject to reporting and announcement requirements of Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
