Upon Completion, the Target Company will become a subsidiary of the Company, and the financial statements of the Target Group will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one of the percentage ratios (as defined under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Acquisition exceeds 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a very substantial acquisition for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and therefore is subject to reporting, announcement and Shareholders' approval requirements.

The EGM will be convened and held for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the resolution(s) in respect of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Acquisition and is required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM.

A circular containing, among others, (i) the details of the Agreement; (ii) the financial information of the Group; (iii) the financial information of the Target Group; (iv) the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group; (v) the valuation report on the Land; (vi) the notice of the EGM; and (vii) other information as required under the Listing Rules is expected to be despatched on or before 22 September 2017 after taking into account the estimated time required for the Company to prepare relevant information for inclusion in the circular.

: Mr. Wang Yan Ping, the father of Mr. Wang Peng, who guarantees the performance of the Vendor's obligations under the Agreement; and

: Mr. Lin Rongbin, the controlling Shareholder and an executive Director, who guarantees the performance of the Purchaser's obligations under the Agreement.

To the best of the Director's knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Vendor and the Vendor's Guarantor are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.

Subject Matter

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchaser has conditionally agreed to acquire and the Vendor has conditionally agreed to sell the Sale Shares, being 90% of the issued share capital of the Target Company.

Further information on the Target Company and the Target Group is set out in the section headed ''Information on the Target Group'' below.

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Consideration of RMB549,400,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$642,798,000) shall be payable to the Vendor in cash by the Purchaser as follows:

  1. as to RMB40,000,000 (or converted into HK$ or US$ equivalents according to the Agreed Exchange Rate) payable upon Completion;

  2. as to RMB30,000,000 (or converted into HK$ or US$ equivalents according to the Agreed Exchange Rate) payable within five business days after the Land is delivered to the Purchaser with the Land levelled and the electricity, water supply and road connected (which are required to be done under the Agreement within 60 Business Days after all conditions precedent are fulfilled);

  3. as to RMB200,000,000 (or converted into HK$ or US$ equivalents according to the Agreed Exchange Rate) payable within 45 calendar days upon Completion; and

Other commitment

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchaser also agreed to procure the Lender (a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Purchaser) to provide to the NewCo (a wholly-owned subsidiary to be established by the Target Company upon Completion) the Loan of RMB890,600,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,042,002,000) within two Business Days upon signing of the definitive agreement for the ProjectCo Acquisition. The Loan shall be solely used for satisfying the consideration of the ProjectCo Acquisition. Information of the NewCo and the ProjectCo are set out in the section headed ''Information on the Target Group''.

Should the amount of the Loan be insufficient to satisfy the consideration of the ProjectCo Acquisition in full, the shortage shall be contributed by the Vendor. The Vendor also agreed to procure the Target Company to pledge the 100% equity interest in the NewCo and the 100% equity interest in the ProjectCo in favor of the Lender as security of the Loan.

Basis of the Consideration

The Total Commitment (being the aggregate amount of the Consideration and the Loan) of RMB1,440,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,684,800,000) was determined after arms' length negotiation of the parties to the Agreement by reference to (i) the estimated gross floor area of the residential and commercial projects of approximately 490,000 sqm to be built on the Land according to allowed plot ratio and other development specifications of the Land as required by relevant government authority; (ii) the purchase price of the Land of approximately RMB3,200 per sqm calculated based on the Total Commitment over the estimated gross floor area of the projects; (iii) the prevailing market price of the residential and commercial land adjacent to the Land in Pingtan County ranging from RMB6,000 to RMB7,000 per sqm based on the comparable market transactions completed in the first half of 2017; and (iv) the prospects of the property market in Pingtan County, Fujian Province, the PRC as detailed in the section headed ''Reasons and benefits of the Acquisition''. A valuation report of the Target Group will be prepared and included in the circular for Shareholders' information. The Directors estimate that the valuation of the Land will be approximately RMB1,600,000,000.

The Total Commitment will be financed by the internal resources of the Company and the revolving facility to be provided by Mr. Lin Rongbin, the controlling Shareholder and an executive Director.
