This dispensation does not alter the obligation of principals, associates and other persons themselves to initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever total value is involved.

Intermediaries are expected to co-operate with the Executive in its dealings enquiries. Therefore, those who deal in relevant securities should appreciate that stockbrokers and other intermediaries will supply the Executive with relevant information as to those dealings including identities of clients, as part of that co-operation."

  1. POSSIBLE UNCONDITIONAL MANDATORY CASH OFFER OF GET NICE FINANCIAL
    As at the date of this joint announcement, (i) the Offeror holds approximately 29.99% of the voting rights in Get Nice Holdings, which holds approximately 72.99% of the voting rights in Get Nice Financial; and (ii) the Offeror holds approximately 2.01% of the voting rights in Get Nice Financial. If the GNH Share Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects, the Offeror and its Concert Parties will together hold more than 50% of the voting rights in Get Nice Holdings. Pursuant to the chain principle in Note 8 to Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, the Offeror will then be required to make (or procure to be made on its behalf) an unconditional mandatory cash offer to acquire all of the GNF Shares not already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror, Get Nice Holdings or their respective subsidiaries.
    The GNF Offer
    The GNF Offer, if made, will be made by Get Nice Securities on behalf of the Offeror in compliance with the Takeovers Code on the following basis:

For each GNF Offer Share

HK$0.4726 in cash

The GNF Offer Price of HK$0.4726 for each GNF Offer Share has been determined pursuant to the applicable requirements under the Takeovers Code, after taking into consideration (i) the GNH Share Offer Price of HK$0.17; (ii) the audited consolidated total net asset values less non-controlling interest of Get Nice Holdings as at 31 March 2020 of approximately HK$5,467.12 million and the audited consolidated total net asset values of Get Nice Financial as at 31 March 2020 of approximately HK$3,931.47 million respectively; (iii) the total number of GNH Shares and GNF Shares as at the date of this joint announcement, being 9,662,705,938 GNH Shares and 2,500,000,000 GNF Shares respectively; and (iv) the fact that Get Nice Holdings holds 1,824,690,171 GNF Shares (representing an approximately 72.99% interest in Get Nice Financial) as at the date of this joint announcement.

As at the date of this joint announcement, there are 2,500,000,000 GNF Shares in issue. Save for the aforesaid, Get Nice Financial has no other outstanding GNF Shares, options, warrants, derivatives, other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into GNF Shares or other relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code).

18

  1. represents a discount of approximately 33.44% to the closing price of HK$0.7100 per GNF Share quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  2. represents a discount of approximately 32.68% to the average closing price of HK$0.7020 per GNF Share quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including the Last Trading Day;
  3. represents a discount of approximately 33.15% to the average closing price of HK$0.7070 per GNF Share quoted on the Stock Exchange for the ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including the Last Trading Day; and
  4. represents a discount of approximately 69.95% to the audited consolidated net assets attributable to the GNF Shareholders per GNF Share of approximately HK$1.5726 as at 31 March 2020, calculated based on the audited consolidated net assets attributable to the GNF Shareholders of approximately HK$3,931,473,000 as at 31 March 2020 and 2,500,000,000 GNF Shares in issue as at the date of this joint announcement.

The Offeror will arrange for payment of sellers' ad valorem stamp duty on behalf of the GNF Independent Shareholders who accept the GNF Offer and pay the buyer's Hong Kong ad valorem stamp duty in connection with the acceptance of the GNF Offer and the transfers of the relevant GNF Offer Shares in accordance with the Stamp Duty Ordinance (Cap. 117 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

Intention of the Offeror on the GNF Group

Following the close of the GNF Offer, it is the intention of the Offeror that the GNF Group will continue with its existing principal activities. As at the date of this joint announcement, no investment or business opportunities has been identified nor has the Offeror entered into any agreement, arrangements, understandings or negotiation in relation to (a) the injection of any assets or business into the GNF Group; or (b) the disposal of any assets or business of the GNF Group, other than those conducted by Get Nice Financial in its ordinary course of business and/or those which are immaterial in nature.

24

Maintaining the listing status of Get Nice Financial

The Stock Exchange has stated that if, at the close of the GNF Offer, less than the minimum prescribed percentage applicable to Get Nice Financial, being 25% of the GNF Shares, are held by the public, or if the Stock Exchange believes that:

  1. a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the GNF Shares; or
  2. there are insufficient GNF Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market,

it will consider exercising its discretion to suspend dealings in the GNF Shares.

The Offeror intends the GNF Shares to remain listed on the Stock Exchange after the close of the GNF Offer. The sole director of the Offeror will undertake to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float exists in the GNF Shares.

Compulsory acquisition

The Offeror does not intend to exercise or apply any right which may be available to it to acquire compulsorily any GNF Shares outstanding after the close of the GNF Offer.

Despatch of GNF Composite Document

It is the intention of the Offeror and Get Nice Financial to combine the offer document and the offeree board circular into the GNF Composite Document, which will contain amongst others, details of the GNF Offer, accompanied by the relevant form of acceptance, and incorporating the recommendation from the GNF Independent Board Committee and the letter from the GNF Independent Financial Adviser in respect of the GNF Offer.

The GNF Composite Document will be despatched to the GNF Shareholders within seven days after the GNH Offers have become or are declared unconditional in all respects in compliance with the requirements of the Takeovers Code. The Offeror will apply to the Executive for its consent under Note 2 to Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code for an extension to despatch the GNF Composite Document.

25

Dealing disclosure

In accordance with Rule 3.8 of the Takeovers Code, the full text of Note 11 to Rule

22 of the Takeovers Code is reproduced below:

"Responsibilities of stockbrokers, banks and other intermediaries

Stockbrokers, banks and others who deal in relevant securities on behalf of clients have a general duty to ensure, so far as they are able, that those clients are aware of the disclosure obligations attaching to associates of an offeror or the offeree company and other persons under Rule 22 and that those clients are willing to comply with them. Principal traders and dealers who deal directly with investors should, in appropriate cases, likewise draw attention to the relevant Rules. However, this does not apply when the total value of dealings (excluding stamp duty and commission) in any relevant security undertaken for a client during any 7 day period is less than $1 million.

This dispensation does not alter the obligation of principals, associates and other persons themselves to initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever total value is involved.

Intermediaries are expected to co-operate with the Executive in its dealings enquiries. Therefore, those who deal in relevant securities should appreciate that stockbrokers and other intermediaries will supply the Executive with relevant information as to those dealings including identities of clients, as part of that co-operation."

Confirmation of Financial Resources

The Offeror intends to finance the consideration payable under the Offers of approximately HK$1,445,395,511 through its internal resources and a loan facility under the CH Finance Documents which is secured by, among others, a charge over all the GNH Shares and GNF Shares owned by the Offeror, the relevant securities account in which the GNH Shares and GNF Shares are deposited and all the GNH Shares and GNF Shares to be acquired by the Offeror under the Offers or otherwise.
