The Chief Executive announced today that this has been a particularly difficult year for the Company. As a result, the Company is not in a position to pay one month’s salary as a discretionary year-end bonus to eligible employees. However, in consideration of the hard work and dedication of our employees, the Company will pay every eligible Hong Kong-based employee an ex-gratia payment of an amount equal to half a month’s salary or HK$8,000, whichever is the greater.
