An update from Automated Systems Holdings Limited ( (HK:0771) ) is now available.

As part of the transaction, wholly owned subsidiary ASL Security has entered into a deed of guarantee with other guarantors in favour of the buyer, providing a several liability guarantee capped at US$34.47 million out of a total guarantee limit equal to the US$87.94 million consideration, while the group expects to deploy roughly US$24.8 million in cash proceeds for regional business development; the guarantee arrangement qualifies as a major transaction under Hong Kong listing rules and will be approved by written consent from the controlling shareholder in lieu of a general meeting, with a circular to follow.
