Dear Sir/Madam

THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION BY WILLAS-ARRAY ELECTRONICS (SHANGHAI) LIMITED, AN

INDIRECT WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF THE COMPANY, OF OFFICE UNITS LOCATED IN

SHANGHAI, THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 On 14 May 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company announced that WAE Shanghai, an

indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, had entered into the Deposit Contract in

connection with WAE Shanghai's proposed acquisition from the Vendor of the Premises (the

"Proposed Acquisition"). The rationale for the Proposed Acquisition is further explained in

paragraph 2.1 of this Circular below.

1.2 The completion of the Proposed Acquisition is conditional upon the entry by the Parties into

the SPA before 1 July 2010. As the acquisition of the Premises by WAE Shanghai constitutes

a major transaction under Chapter 10 of the Listing Manual, the completion of the Proposed

Acquisition is subject to and conditional upon the approval of Shareholders at a SGM to be

convened (please refer to paragraph 3.2 below). The completion of the Proposed Acquisition

is also dependent on WAE Shanghai obtaining the necessary financing for the Proposed

Acquisition.

1.3 The Directors are convening the SGM to be held on 28 June 2010, notice of which is set out

on page 30 of this Circular, to, inter alia, seek Shareholders' approval for the entry by WAE

Shanghai into the SPA and the completion of the Proposed Acquisition.

1.4 The SGX-ST assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of any statements made, reports

contained or opinions expressed in this Circular.

2. THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

2.1 Rationale for the Proposed Acquisition

The Company plans to move its Shanghai office from its current premises at Block A-E2, 7th

Floor, Sun Tong Infoport Plaza, No. 55 Huaihai Road West, Shanghai, PRC, to the Premises

upon the completion of the Proposed Acquisition. Its lease at the current premises will end on14 February 2011.

The rentals of office spaces in Shanghai have been steadily rising over the past few years,

including the rentals of WAE Shanghai's current premises. The proposed move will enable the

Company to reduce its operating expenses by saving on rental payments incurred from the

use of its current premises, as well as to reduce its exposure to the risk of escalating rentals

on its business operations in the property market in Shanghai. The acquisition by WAE

Shanghai of the Premises will also help remove any risk of a disruption to its business

operations in the event that the lease of the current premises is not renewed after its expiry.

The area of the Premises is larger than that of the offices currently being occupied by WAE

Shanghai and this will allow for future enhancement and development of the business of theCompany in PRC.

The location of the new Premises will also make it more accessible to both customers and

principals of the Company as its location has good access to public transport networks, for 

example, highways and railways. The accessibility to such transport networks will also make it

easier for staff to reach out to customers.

2.2 Information on the Premises

The details of the Premises which WAE Shanghai proposes to acquire are set out below:

Address : Level 33 of the International Corporate City, 3000 North ZhongshanRoad, Putuo District, Shanghai, PRC.

Description : The International Corporate City is a 44-storey office building above a

4-storey car-park basement. The International Corporate City was

completed in 2009 and is of reinforced concrete construction with

exteriors of glass curtain walls.

The Premises comprises of the whole Level 33 of the International

Corporate City, and comprises of eight (8) office units and one (1)

storeroom.

The breakdown of the gross floor area of the Premises is set out below:

2.4 Process for Completion of the Proposed Acquisition

(a) Entry into the Deposit Contract

On 14 May 2010, the Company had announced that WAE Shanghai had entered intothe Deposit Contract with the Vendor in connection with the Proposed Acquisition. The

Deposit Contract is not the definitive contract in respect of the Proposed Acquisition

and the Parties will need to enter into the SPA in respect of the completion of the

Proposed Acquisition.

Pursuant to the terms of the Deposit Contract, WAE Shanghai paid to the Vendor a

refundable deposit of RMB 3,173,187.88 (the "Deposit") for the Proposed Acquisition.

The full amount of the Deposit will be returned by the Vendor to WAE Shanghai if (i)

the Parties are unable to mutually agree on the definitive terms of the SPA; or (ii) PRC

judicial and administrative authorities impose restrictions on the property rights

relating to the Premises that would prohibit WAE Shanghai from acquiring the

Premises after the signing of the Deposit Contract but prior to the signing of the SPA.

Article 8 of the Deposit Contract provides that if the Vendor does not sign the SPA by

1 July 2010, an amount equal to twice the Deposit will be paid by the Vendor to WAE

Shanghai. However, if WAE Shanghai does not sign the SPA by 1 July 2010, the full

amount of the Deposit paid by WAE Shanghai will be forfeited.

Further, under Article 10 of the Deposit Contract, an amount equal to twice the

amount of the Deposit will be paid by the Vendor to WAE Shanghai if the Vendor (A)

breaches the provisions of Article 2 of the Deposit Contract which relates to the

determination of the total Purchase Price for the Premises; (B) fails to provide in the

SPA certain information and documents in relation to the Premises, including floor 

plans and information on the structure, furnishings and facilities of the Premises; or (C) fails to disclose to WAE Shanghai any existing mortgages or encumbrances in

relation to the Premises before the signing of the SPA.

(b) Principal Terms of the SPA

The principal terms of the SPA, which is governed by the laws of PRC, are set out

below:

(i) Consideration and Terms of Payment 

The Purchase Price amounts to RMB 63,463,757.50 and was agreed upon

following arms' length negotiations between the Parties on a willing-buyer,

willing-seller basis. WAE Shanghai had also taken into account the value of 

the Premises based on the valuation carried out by the Independent Valuer,

DTZ International Property Advisers (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. The Purchase Price

will be satisfied by way of cash payment from WAE Shanghai to the Vendor 

upon the execution of the SPA in the following manner (the " Terms of 

Payment"):

(A) the payment of RMB 31,731,878.75 on 1 July 2010 (being the

contemplated date on which the SPA will be signed), which is the

equivalent of 50 per cent. of the Purchase Price (including the

Deposit); and

7

Page 10: Willas Array

8/8/2019 Willas Array

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/willas-array 10/33

(B) the payment of RMB 31,731,878.75 before 31 July 2010, being the

remainder of 50 per cent. of the Purchase Price.

If payment of the second tranche payment set out in (B) above has not been

made by WAE Shanghai in accordance with the Terms of Payment, an

amount equivalent to 0.05 per cent. of the outstanding Purchase Price per 

day, to be calculated from the day immediately following the applicabledeadline set out in the Terms of Payment until the day actual payment has

been made, will be paid by WAE Shanghai to the Vendor.

If payment of the second tranche payment set out in (B) above has not been

made by WAE Shanghai within 30 days of the applicable deadline set out in

the Terms of Payment, the Vendor is entitled to terminate the SPA upon

written notification of the same to WAE Shanghai (the "Vendor Notice"). In

such event, within 90 days of the issue of the Vendor Notice, a sum of 5.0 per 

cent. of the full Purchase Price will be forfeited from the amount of the

Purchase Price paid by WAE Shanghai (including the Deposit) and the

balance of the Purchase Price that has been paid by WAE Shanghai will be

returned to WAE Shanghai.

(ii) Title and Transfer of Premises

The transfer of the Premises to WAE Shanghai shall be effected by the

Vendor within 60 days from the Signing Date (the "Transfer Deadline"). The

Vendor warrants to WAE Shanghai that, as at the Transfer Deadline: (A) the

Premises is not subject to any dispute relating to property rights or finance;

(B) the Vendor has not created any charge or encumbrance over the

Premises and has discharged any existing encumbrances over the Premises

granted by the Vendor; and (C) the Vendor has paid the requisite property

maintenance funds in respect of the Premises.

If the Vendor is unable to effect the transfer of the Premises to WAE Shanghai

before the Transfer Deadline, the Vendor shall pay to WAE Shanghai

liquidated damages of an amount equivalent to 0.05 per cent. of Purchase

Price that has been paid by WAE Shanghai, per day, to be calculated from the

day immediately following the Transfer Deadline until the day the Vendor 

effects the transfer of the Premises to WAE Shanghai.

If the Vendor is unable to effect the transfer the Premises within 90 days from

the Transfer Deadline, WAE Shanghai will have the right to unilaterally

terminate the SPA upon written notification to the Vendor of the same (the

"WAE Notice

"). Upon the termination of the SPA, within 15 days of the receiptby the Vendor of the WAE Notice, the Vendor shall (1) return the amount of 

the Purchase Price paid to WAE Shanghai; and (2) pay to WAE Shanghai a

compensation sum of 5.0 per cent. of the full Purchase Price.

(iii) Use of Premises

Upon the signing of the SPA, the Vendor will submit an application to the

Shanghai Housing and Land Resources Administration Bureau for a property

use rights licence in respect of the transfer of the Premises and complete all

necessary procedures relating to the transfer of the Premises to WAE

Shanghai before 15 August 2010.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/willas-array 11/33

If the Vendor is unable to obtain the property use rights l icence by 31 October 

2010, a sum of 5.0 per cent. of the full Purchase Price will be paid by the

Vendor to WAE Shanghai. WAE Shanghai will also be entitled to terminate

the SPA and obtain a refund of all monies paid if the Vendor does not obtain

the property use rights licence by 15 December 2010.

As the completion of the Proposed Acquisition under the SPA will occur concurrentlywith the entry by the Parties into the same, and as the approval of Shareholders is

required for the Proposed Acquisition (please refer to paragraph 3.2 below), theCompany will therefore need to seek the approval of Shareholders for the Proposed

Acquisition prior to WAE Shanghai's entry into the SPA.

As the terms of the SPA is in a fixed form prescribed by the Real Estate Trade Centre

of Putuo District, Shanghai, PRC, the final form of the SPA and its terms will not differ 

from the terms of the draft SPA as set out in this paragraph 2.4(b).

(c) Obtaining Financing for the Proposed Acquisition

The Proposed Acquisition is conditional upon, inter alia, WAE Shanghai obtaining thenecessary financing for the Proposed Acquisition. It is intended that a portion of the

Purchase Price amounting to 50 per cent. of the amount of the Purchase Price will be

funded through an injection of capital in WAE Shanghai by the Company, and the

remaining 50 per cent. of the Purchase Price will be funded through external

borrowings by way of a term loan from Nanyang Commercial Bank (China) Limited("NCB"). The Company understands that NCB has already commenced the

processing of its loan application. The Company does not envisage any difficulty in

obtaining such financing.
