DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION

IN RELATION TO THE RENEWAL OF TENANCY

OF THE PROPERTY

On 8 October 2019, Marvel Win as tenant entered into the Renewal Letter with Rich Champion as landlord in relation to the renewal of the tenancy of the Property pursuant to the exercise of the Option.

In accordance with HKFRS 16 "Leases", the Group will recognise the value of the right-of-use assets on its consolidated statement of financial position in connection with the leasing of the Property under the Renewal Letter. Accordingly, the leasing transaction under the Renewal Letter will be regarded as acquisition of assets by the Tenant for the purpose of the Listing Rules.
