      Pricing Policy

      As disclosed in the Announcement, the annual rental is determined after arm's length negotiation between the parties and adjusted with reference to the preliminary rental assessment result prepared by Guangdong Zhonglian Yangcheng Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. (廣東中聯羊城資産估 價有限公司) taking into account the prevailing market rental for properties located at similar locations which have had the trend of increase.

      The assets involved in the assessment can be divided into three categories: the first category is the purchased commercial houses, which are mainly residences and shops located in the central area of a city; the second category is self-built houses located in city center, which were mainly used as hotels, ticket offices and office buildings in the early days; the third category is the land in the airport area, the airport supporting structures, and the aviation supporting houses. A market approach was applied to the first category of the purchased commercial houses and the second category of the self-built houses in the city center since the ownership of houses and land is clear, and there are sufficient referential cases of rental transactions from the active real estate market in the area where the two types of housing are located in. The third category is the assets in the airport area. There are various types of such assets, including land, property, structures, pipelines and grooves, and it was assessed with an income approach according to the actual situation due to the special circumstances brought by some historical reasons, such as incomplete property rights, separate housing and land and the inactive rental market in the airport area.

      The above standard for determining the rental is based on normal commercial terms in accordance with market rules and after arm's length negotiation, the pricing is reasonable, and the agreement conforms to fair market conditions.
