PAY, HOURS AND BENEFITS III.A. WAGES
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL The Board considers that the online media advertising agency business operated by Xxxx Media is not the core business that the Group is focusing on. The disposal of Xxxx Media will allow the Group to concentrate its financial and management resources on its core business, hence would effectively reduce the Group’s operating risks outside its main business. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors but excluding Xx. Xxx who has abstained from voting in the Board), are of the view that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable and the transaction contemplated thereunder is on normal commercial terms or better and is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS Upon completion of the Disposal, Xxxx Media will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the Group will cease to have any interest in Xxxx Media. The financial results of Xxxx Media will no longer be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group. With reference to the net assets of Xxxx Media of approximately RMB57.9 million as at 30 April 2021, the Group is expected to record a net gain of approximately RMB10.3 million from the Disposal after deducting expenses in relation to the Disposal. The actual gain or loss from the Disposal may be different from the above and subject to the review and final audit by the Company’s auditor. It is expected that the net proceeds from the Disposal will be used for re-investment for other potential investments and/or business opportunities that may arise and as general working capital of the Group.
