REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL The principal activities of the Group comprise the distribution and maintenance of a wide range of machine tools, precision measuring instruments, cutting tools, electronics equipment, professional tools and other machinery for the manufacturing industry in Hong Kong, the PRC and Southeast Asia. The Purchaser was established in 1934 and is one of the leading manufacturers for measuring instruments in the world, and has a long-standing relationship with the Group for over 50 years. The Company, through the Vendor, established the Target Company with the Purchaser in 2003 to provide a complete range of precision measuring instruments and related equipment to its customers in Hong Kong and the PRC. The Target Company has been an authorised distributor of the products of the Purchaser in Southern China. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, due to the keen competition in the measuring equipment market in Southern China in recent years, the Purchaser has decided to restructure its business in Southern China by, among others, consolidating its interests in the Target Group. As an incentive for the Group to dispose of its interests in the Target Company, the Purchaser has also agreed to appoint the Group as its preferred distributor in Southern China after the Disposal. Given that the Group is already the authorised distributor for the Purchaser’s products in Central and Northern China, the aforesaid preferential treatment would enable the Group to expand its distribution business in the PRC. Furthermore, after cessation of the cooperation arrangement with the Purchaser in the Target Company upon Completion, the Group would be able to develop and expand its own measuring instrument business in the PRC without any contractual restriction. In addition, the proceeds generated from the Disposal would allow the Group to reduce its indebtedness level, explore and pursue new business opportunities and allocate its resources to expand its existing business. The intended use of proceeds from the Disposal is set out in the section headed “Intended Use of Proceeds” below. Based on the above, the Directors consider that the Disposal contemplated by the Sale and Purchase Agreement is on normal commercial terms and the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Coordination of Benefits and Subrogation IPA and HMO shall establish and implement a system for coordination of benefits and subrogation, in accordance with those rules established under the HMO's policies and procedures and applicable federal and state laws. If known to IPA, IPA shall identify and inform HMO of Members for whom coordination of benefits and subrogation opportunities exist. HMO hereby authorizes IPA to seek payment, on a fee-for service basis or otherwise, from any insurance carrier, organization, or government agency which is primarily responsible for the payment or provision of medical services provided by IPA under this Agreement which can be recovered by reason of coordination of benefits, motor vehicle injury, worker's compensation, temporary disability, occupational disease, or similar exclusionary or limiting provisions, to the extent authorized by the applicable and not otherwise prohibited by law.
