REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTIONS Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx entered into the transaction contemplated under the New Entrusted Operation Management and Marketing Agreement to outsource cold chain management services and business promotion to a professional service provider aiming to save management resources. The negotiation of the terms of New Entrusted Operation Management and Marketing Agreement was conducted by the parties on an arm’s length basis with reference to the market rate of cold chain properties of comparable size and facilities. No Director has any material interest in the transactions contemplated under the New Entrusted Operation Management and Marketing Agreement. The Board (including the independent non- executive Directors) considers that the New Entrusted Operation Management and Marketing Agreement was entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, and the terms contained therein are fair and reasonable, and such transactions are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx is held as to 60% indirectly by the Company and 20% by Xxxxx Xxxxxxx and 20% by Xxxxx Xxxxxxx respectively. Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx is owned by two shareholders, namely, Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (55% equity interest) and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx (45% equity interest). Therefore, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx is an associate of Xxxxx Xxxxxxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, which in turn is a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the New Entrusted Operation Management and Marketing Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Since the transactions contemplated under the New Entrusted Operation Management and Marketing Agreement are entered into on normal commercial terms and one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (other than the profits ratio) as set out in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules are, on an annual basis, more than 1% but all of them are less than 5%, the transactions contemplated under the New Entrusted Operation Management and Marketing Agreement are only subject to the reporting, announcement and annual review requirements but are exempt from the circular, the independent financial advice and the independent shareholders’ approval under Chapter 14A of the Listings Rules.
Other Benefits to DIMA and Its Affiliates The Board also considered the character and amount of other incidental or “fall-out” benefits received by DIMA and its affiliates, including any fees received by DIMA for administrative services provided to the Fund, any fees received by an affiliate of DIMA for transfer agency services provided to the Fund and any fees received by an affiliate of DIMA for distribution services. The Board also considered benefits to DIMA related to brokerage and soft-dollar allocations, including allocating brokerage to pay for research generated by parties other than the executing broker dealers, which pertain primarily to funds investing in equity securities. In addition, the Board considered the incidental public relations benefits to DIMA related to DWS Funds advertising and cross-selling opportunities among DIMA products and services. The Board considered these benefits in reaching its conclusion that the Fund’s management fees were reasonable.
PROTECTION OF EMPLOYEES A. The Board assures bargaining unit members that it shall put its full support behind the discipline procedures and policies hereinafter recommended and adopted by the Board. It is also agreed that such policies will be enforced fairly and consistently pursuant to its anti-discrimination policy.
