INFORMATION OF THE GROUP AND THE LENDER. The Group is a financing service provider in Hong Kong mainly providing secured financing, including pawn loans and mortgage loans under the provisions of the Pawnbrokers Ordinance and the Money Lenders Ordinance. Oi Wah PL, as the lender of the Loan, is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Having taken into account the principal business activities of the Group, the grant of the Loan to the Customer is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group. The terms of the Loan Agreement were negotiated on an arm’s length basis between Oi Wah PL and the Customer. The Directors consider that the grant of the Loan is financial assistance provided by the Company within the meaning of the Listing Rules. The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Loan Agreement were entered into on normal commercial terms based on the Company’s credit policy. After having taken into account the satisfactory financial background of the Customer and that a stable revenue and cashflow stream from the interest income is expected, the Directors consider that the terms of the Loan Agreement are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Loan Agreement is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the amount of the Loan granted to the Customer exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the grant of the Loan constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to Rule 14.58(2) of the Listing Rules, the identity of the Customer is required to be disclosed. Since (i) the granting of the Loan is not regarded as a material transaction of the Company as compared to the Company’s overall financial position; (ii) the Company has practical difficulties in complying with the aforesaid disclosure requirement as the Customer has confirmed to the Group that it will not consent to the disclosure of its identity in this announcement; (iii) the disclosure of the identity of the Customer does not reflect its financial standing or repayment ability and thus will serve little purpose in assisting the Shareholders to evaluate its creditworthiness and the risks and exposure of the Loan; and (iv) the Company has made alternative disclosures in respect of the Loan in this announcement, including but not limited to the details of the collateral and the loan-to- value ratio of the collateral in respect of the Loan, which would be much more meaningful for the Shareholders in assessing the risk and exposure of the Loan as well as the repayment ability of the Customer, the Company has applied to the Stock Exchange, and the Stock Exchange has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 14.58(2) of the Listing Rules.
