REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROVISION OF THE LOAN
The terms of the Loan Agreement (including the interest rate) were arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Lender and the Borrower, having regard to commercial practice and the amount of the Loan. The purpose of the Loan is to finance the working capital of the Borrower, a company with approximately 34.72% of its equity interest being effectively owned by the Company. The provision of the Loan will provide interest income at the rate of 8% per annum to the Group, which will bring better returns to the Group than bank deposits. The Borrower intends to use the proceeds from the Loan to fund its daily operations, including the purchase of raw materials, such as crude oil. Having considered that the Group owns equity interest in the Borrower, the purpose of the Loan and the revenue the Loan will bring to the Group, the Directors consider that the terms of the Loan Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As the relevant percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the Loan exceed 5% but are less than 25%, the provision of the Loan constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the notification and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
