Rationale for and benefits of the Proposed Disposal Sample Clauses

Rationale for and benefits of the Proposed Disposal. The financial performance of the Group in FY2018, in particular, during the second half of 2018 was negatively impacted by regulatory changes relating to product intervention imposed by the European and UK regulators (including ESMA) in 2018, unfavourable trading conditions in the Group’s core contract for difference (CFD) markets, particularly during Q22018 and Q32018, and the Group’s reduced marketing expenditure. The Group faced working capital deficiency due to continued losses. Following the Company’s initial public offer in March 2018, the Group observed that there was a declining implied volatility in the CFD markets since April 2018 particularly between January 2019 and March 2019. When the volatility improved in certain months during the last quarter of 2018, the Group was not able to capitalize on this volatility due to a tighter regulatory capital position as a result of the Group’s declining cash situation. In connection with the Group’s declining cash situation, the marketing spend had been reduced significantly as part of the Group’s cost-cutting efforts which had an adverse impact on client acquisition. Lower marketing expenditure meant that the Group could not replace trading clients following large drawdowns. A decline can be seen below in the comparison of the quarter on quarter trading revenue and average revenue per active client for Q1 to Q4 of 2017 versus the corresponding periods in 2018: Net Losses1 (CHF’000) 2018 2017 Variance 2018 2017 2018 2017 Q1 7,293 4,343 (%) 68 239 194 (1,214) (2,430) Q2 4,865 5,147 (9) 193 226 (3,782) (1,039) Q3 3,997 5,171 (23) 371 393 (1,722) (1,205) Q4 4,826 6,094 (21) 197 174 (2,853)(2) (3,044) (1) Excluding IPO costs (2) This excludes the impairment of CHF37.1 million. In addition, the Group faced large drawdowns by the clients during Q42018 due to losses suffered by the clients and this was followed by reluctance by existing clients to continue trading.

  • REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTIONS Jiaogong Maintenance and Zhejiang Shunchang fully understand business and operating needs of LongLiLiLong Co, and maintain effective communication to provide more quality services to LongLiLiLong Co. Both Jiaogong Maintenance and Zhejiang Shunchang has the relevant qualifications and experience to provide the Maintenance Services to LongLiLiLong Co. In addition, LongLiLiLong Co went through a tender process and obtained the relevant quotations from other independent service providers to select the service provider of the Maintenance Services. Zhejiang Shunchang and Jiaogong Maintenance finally won the respective tenders. The transactions contemplated under the Agreements are and will be conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and the consideration paid by LongLiLiLong Co to Jiaogong Maintenance and Zhejiang Shunchang, respectively, will not be higher than the average market price and will not be less favourable than those provided by other independent service providers to LongLiLiLong Co for similar services. Given the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Agreements are on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. As at the date of this announcement, LongLiLiLong Co is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As at the date of this announcement, Communications Group holds approximately 67% of the issued share capital of the Company. By virtue of this shareholding interest, Communications Group is a controlling shareholder (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company. As at the date of this announcement, each of Jiaogong Maintenance and Zhejiang Shunchang is an indirect subsidiary of Communications Group. Therefore, Zhejiang Shunchang and Jiaogong Maintenance are connected persons of the Company and as a result, the respective transactions contemplated under the Dedicated Road Maintenance Agreements constitute continuing connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to Rule 14A.81 to Rule 14A.83 of the Listing Rules, the respective transactions contemplated under the Dedicated Road Maintenance Agreements are required to be aggregated with the respective transactions contemplated under the Previous Road Maintenance Agreements which were continuing connected transactions entered into with the same connected persons. As the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the aggregated annual cap for transactions contemplated under the Dedicated Road Maintenance Agreements and the Previous Road Maintenance Agreements are more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the transactions contemplated under the Dedicated Road Maintenance Agreements and the Previous Road Maintenance Agreements will be subject to the reporting, announcement and annual review requirements but exempt from the independent Shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Xx. Xx Xxxxxxx, Xx. Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxxx and Mr. Xxx Xx, being Directors, are deemed to have material interests in the Dedicated Road Maintenance Agreements as they are also employed by the Communications Group as at the date of Board meeting on April 30, 2021 and have abstained from voting on the relevant Board resolutions. Other than those Directors mentioned above, none of the Directors have a material interest in the transactions contemplated under the Dedicated Road Maintenance Agreements, and none are required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board.

  • Risks and Benefits of Therapy Psychotherapy is a process in which Therapist and Patient discuss a myriad of issues, events, experiences and memories for the purpose of creating positive change so Patient can experience his/her life more fully. It provides an opportunity to better, and more deeply understand oneself, as well as, any problems or difficulties Patient may be experiencing. Psychotherapy is a joint effort between Patient and Therapist. Progress and success may vary depending upon the particular problems or issues being addressed, as well as many other factors. Participating in therapy may result in a number of benefits to Patient, including, but not limited to, reduced stress and anxiety, a decrease in negative thoughts and self-sabotaging behaviors, improved interpersonal relationships, increased comfort in social, work, and family settings, increased capacity for intimacy, and increased self-confidence. Such benefits may also require substantial effort on the part of Patient, including an active participation in the therapeutic process, honesty, and a willingness to change feelings, thoughts and behaviors. There is no guarantee that therapy will yield any or all of the benefits listed above. Participating in therapy may also involve some discomfort, including remembering and discussing unpleasant events, feelings and experiences. The process may evoke strong feelings of sadness, anger, fear, etc. There may be times in which Therapist will challenge Patient’s perceptions and assumptions, and offer different perspectives. The issues presented by Patient may result in unintended outcomes, including changes in personal relationships. Patient should be aware that any decision on the status of his/her personal relationships is the responsibility of Patient. During the therapeutic process, many patients find that they feel worse before they feel better. This is generally a normal course of events. Personal growth and change may be easy and swift at times, but may also be slow and frustrating. Patient should address any concerns he/she has regarding his/her progress in therapy with Therapist. Professional consultation is an important component of a healthy psychotherapy practice. As such, Therapist regularly participates in clinical, ethical, and legal consultation with appropriate professionals. During such consultations, Therapist will not reveal any personally identifying information regarding Patient.
