Moreover, Mr Eymere's recent actions involving misconduct and bad faith have required AMTD to take legal actions, importantly to correct baseless allegations and misstatements in relation to the Group's L'Officiel and AMTD IDEA brands, which have been recently mentioned in certain press and social media publications.
AMTD has already made formal reports to law enforcement authorities in connection with Mr Eymere's present and past misconduct.
AMTD firmly believes that the rule of law and fairness and justice will prevail, and looks forward to correcting and dispelling any slander or defamatory statements which might have been made against it.
On an overall basis, we take the opportunity to highlight certain evident inaccuracies in certain press and social media induced by Mr Eymere and/or the Jalou family:

2) Since the AMTD's acquisition as a "white knight" investor, L'Officiel has not incurred any debt or engaged in liabilities for business, and L'Officiel nowadays is financially strong with solid equity base
3) The controlling shareholder from which AMTD acquired the business was GEM, not the Jalou family, nor Mr Eymere. The Jalou family was not a controller nor a majority shareholder in L'Officiel at the time of acquisition.
AMTD would also strongly emphasize that it will tirelessly prosecute and continue legal action against any wrongdoers which seek to harm its reputation and breach the law. We are confident that our perseverance and commitment will inevitably bring justice and fairness, without reservations.
