Further re possible offer

The Company announced on 20 April 2016 that it is in discussions with Jamal Hassim, Chief Executive of SyQic, and MMV Investments (HK) Limited, a company owned by Johan Robb, (together "Bidco"), in connection with a possible offer for the whole of the issued share capital of the Company. The Company's Half Yearly Report for the six months to 30 June 2016 and its Final Results for the year ended 31 December 2015, both of which were announced on 7 September 2016, referred to interest from Yuma Ventures Ltd to acquire all the shares in the Company. The Company would like to clarify that Yuma Ventures Ltd, currently owned by Jamal Hassim, is being considered by Bidco as the entity to be used for any possible offer by Bidco for the Company. There is no guarantee that any offer will be forthcoming.

As previously announced on 28 October 2016, Bidco must, by not later than 5.00 p.m. on 11 November 2016, either announce a firm intention to make an offer for the Company in accordance with Rule 2.7 of the Code or announce that it does not intend to make an offer, in which case the announcement will be treated as a statement to which Rule 2.8 of the Code applies. The Company also announced that it could approach the Panel on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Panel") for a further extension to this deadline in due course in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code. This deadline will only be extended with the consent of the Panel in accordance with Rule 2.6(c) of the Code. There can be no certainty any offer will be forthcoming.

This announcement has been made with the agreement and approval of Bidco and Yuma Ventures Ltd.
