IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES As at the date of this announcement, Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxxx, holding approximately 32.82% of the issued share capital of the Company, is the controlling shareholder of the Company. As Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxxx is the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Guarantor, the Borrower, being a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor, is an associate of Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxxx and therefore, is an associate of the connected person of the Company under Rule 14A.13(3) of the Listing Rules. As such, the transactions contemplated under the 2022 Loan Agreement constitutes continuing connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, Xx. Xxx Xxxxx (the younger brother of Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxxx), an executive Director and the Chairman of the Company, has abstained from voting at the relevant board meeting for approving the Loan and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Apart from the above, none of the Directors has any material interest in the abovementioned transactions and is required to abstain from voting on the board resolutions approving the 2022 Loan Agreement, the Proposed Annual Caps and the transactions contemplated thereunder. As one or more applicable Percentage Ratios of the Annual Caps for the transactions contemplated under the 2022 Loan Agreement exceeds 5%, the 2022 Loan Agreement, the Proposed Annual Caps and the transactions contemplated thereunder are subject to reporting, announcement, independent shareholders’ approval and annual review requirements pursuant to Rules 14A.35, 14A.36 and 14A.49 of the Listing Rules. Appropriate disclosure of the above transactions will be made in the next published annual report and accounts of the Company in accordance with Rules 14A.71 and 14A.72 of the Listing Rules. As one or more applicable Percentage Ratios of the Proposed Annual Caps exceed 25% but all of which are below 100%, the Loan constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Rule 14.33 of the Listing Rules. Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxxx, being a controlling shareholder of the Company, and his associates, interested in the transactions contemplated under the 2022 Loan Agreement will abstain from voting at the SGM. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, save for Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxxx and his associates, no Shareholder (or its associates) has any material interest in the transactions contemplated under the 2022 Loan Agreement.
