Since (i) the Purchaser is a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level under the Listing Rules; and (ii) the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) have approved the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and confirmed that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute a connected transaction which is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but exempted from the circular, independent financial advice and shareholders' approval requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules.
None of the Directors have any material interest in the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, and accordingly, none of the Directors are required to abstain from voting on the Board resolutions approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are therefore urged to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares and other securities of the Company.

CONSIDERATION
Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser will have to pay the Consideration which consists of the following to the Vendor as consideration for the Disposal:
- a sum of HK$1.0 million as non-refundable deposit and partial payment of the Consideration to be paid on the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement by way of delivering a cheque to the Vendor; and
- the balance of the Consideration to be paid on Completion by way of a cheque to the Vendor.
Adjustment mechanism
The Vendor shall procure the delivery of the consolidated accounts of the Disposal Group as at 31 March 2021, which includes the audited figures of Bright Access (the "Accounts") to the Purchaser within one month from the date of the Sale and Purchase Agreement. In the event that the tangible assets of the Disposal Group minus the liabilities of the Disposal Group (the "NAV") as shown in the Accounts (or the audited accounts of the Disposal Group) exceeds HK$7.1 million, then the parties agree that the Consideration payable by the Purchaser shall be adjusted upward by a sum calculated in accordance with the following formula:
A = NAV as shown in the Accounts (or the audited Accounts) - HK$7.1 million
where A is the additional consideration payable by the Purchaser
For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no downward adjustment to the Consideration irrespective of the NAV amount shown in the Accounts.
Based on the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Disposal Group as at 31 March 2021, the adjustment to Consideration (if any) would not affect the classification of the Disposal under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. Further announcement(s) will be made by the Company in the event that the adjustment to Consideration will cause different classification of the Disposal under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
