Proposed Annual Caps The Directors anticipate that the aggregate annual fee payable by the JV Company to Xxxx Xxx under the Renewed Sole Distributorship Agreement shall not exceed HK$12 million, HK$15 million and HK$18 million for the years ending 31 December 2019, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2021, respectively. These annual caps have been estimated by the Directors (i) by reference to the Group’s estimated demand for supply of Products for each of the years ending 31 December 2019, 31 December 2020 and 31 December 2021, respectively, which were arrived at with reference to the annual amounts under the cooperation in the distribution of the Products in the Territories under the Sole Distributorship Agreement in each of the past three years; (ii) by reference to expected expansion on variety of Products; and (iii) on the assumption that the sourcing costs for the Products will increase at an annual inflation rate of 4%. Historical amounts For the years ended 31 December 2016, 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2018, the aggregate amounts under the cooperation in the distribution of the Products in the Territories under the Sole Distributorship Agreement are set out below: For the year ended 31 December 2016 2017 2018 HK$’000 HK$’000 HK$’000 Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Renewed Trademark Licence Agreement and the Renewed Sole Distributorship Agreement The Group is principally engaged in the business of trading of grocery food products, trading of consumables and agricultural products, property investment, provision of money lending services, one- stop value chain services and provision of financial services. The Directors are of the view that entering into the Renewed Trademark Licence Agreement and the Renewed Sole Distributorship Agreement could provide stable revenue to the grocery food business of the Group. The Directors are also of the view that the provision of the Products could create synergy effect and opportunities with the existing business of the Group and to further expand and develop its scope of business. In addition, due to the steady supply and sales of the Products in the past 3 years, transactions under the Trademark Licence Agreement and the Sole Distributorship Agreement contributed approximately 10% and approximately 13% to the revenue of the Group for each of the years ended 31 December 2016 and 31 December 2017, respectively. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the transactions contemplated under the Renewed Trademark Licence Agreement and the Renewed Sole Distributorship Agreement were entered into on normal commercial terms, and that the terms of the Renewed Trademark Licence Agreement, the Renewed Sole Distributorship Agreement and the annual caps are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. None of the Directors have any material interest in the transactions contemplated under the Renewed Trademark Licence Agreement and the Renewed Sole Distributorship Agreement.
