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.

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.
