The company has also been informed that the potential purchaser is in discussions with certain minority shareholders, including independent non-executive director Leung Ka Tin.
No terms, including price, have been agreed upon, the company said.
If a deal is signed and completed, the buyer and its concert parties would be required to make a mandatory general offer.
