LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FURTHER LOAN AGREEMENT

Summarised below are the key terms of the Further Loan Agreement.

Date of Further Loan Agreement: 28th August, 2015 Lender: PLH Borrower: LAAPL Subsidiary, a subsidiary of a principal joint venture of the Company Drawdown date: 31st August, 2015 Amount advanced: S$100,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$563,840,000) Interest rate: 6.5% per annum Repayment date: 19th October, 2017, or such other date as may be mutually agreed by the parties in writing Security: None

The Further Loan was used to repay part of the existing indebtedness of the LAAPL Group (including principal and interest) and interest shall continue to accrue on such principal at the above interest rate.

AMENDMENTS TO THE LOAN AGREEMENT

In addition, on 28th August, 2015, PLH and LAAPL Subsidiary agreed to amend the Loan Agreement so that the repayment date and the interest rate going forward for the principal and accrued interest shall be the same as those provided under the Further Loan Agreement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY AND PLH

The principal business activity of the Company is investment holding. The principal activities of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures of the Company include investment holding, property investment, property development, hotel operation, project management, fund management, underwriting, corporate finance, securities broking, securities investment, treasury investment, money lending, banking and other related financial services.

The principal business activity of PLH is investment holding. PLH is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which in turn is an approximate 65.84% indirect subsidiary of Lippo.

REASONS FOR AMENDMENT OF TERMS OF LOAN AND ENTERING INTO THE FURTHER LOAN AGREEMENT

The LAAPL Group would directly and indirectly apply the proceeds of the Further Loan to repay part of the existing indebtedness of the LAAPL Group. After considering the funding need of the LAAPL Group and the interest rate of the Further Loan, the Board consider the amended terms of the Loan and the terms of the Further Loan to be fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Further Loan was financed by the Group’s internal resources.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE FURTHER LOAN

LAAPL Subsidiary is accounted for by the Company as a joint venture using equity method of accounting. The financial assistance by the Group to LAAPL Subsidiary under the Further Loan Agreement will be recorded by the Company in its consolidated statement of financial position as amount due from a joint venture. The Group will accrue interest income from such financial assistance. It is expected that there is no material impact on the net asset value of the Group.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATION

The applicable percentage ratios under rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Further Loan (on a standalone basis) are between 5% and 25%. Accordingly, the Further Loan by itself constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. However, as one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Further Loan, when aggregated with the Loan and the Equity Subscription referred to in the May Announcement as well as the Interim Loan, exceed 25% but are less than 100%, the Further Loan constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and consequently is subject to reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, in lieu of a resolution to be passed at a general meeting of the Company, written approval of the entering into of the Further Loan has been obtained from Hennessy, being a substantial shareholder of the Company holding 1,315,707,842 Shares, representing approximately 65.84% of the Shares in issue having the right to attend and vote at general meetings of the Company. Since none of the Shareholders are required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules if the Company were to convene a general meetings to approve the Further Loan, and Hennessy has given a written approval in respect of the Further Loan, no general meeting of the Company will therefore be convened to approve the Further Loan, as permitted under rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

The applicable percentage ratios under rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Interim Loan on a standalone basis were less than 5% and when aggregated with the Loan and the Equity Subscription referred to in the May Announcement, remained between 5% and 25% and accordingly, no reclassification of the Interim Loan transaction was required at the time.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.

Yours faithfully, By Order of the Board HONGKONG CHINESE LIMITED John Lee Luen Wai Chief Executive Officer

2. INDEBTEDNESS STATEMENT

Borrowings

As at 31st August, 2015, being the latest practicable date for the purpose of this indebtedness statement prior to the printing of this circular, the Group had outstanding indebtedness of approximately HK$199 million, comprising secured bank loans of approximately HK$189 million and unsecured bank loans of approximately HK$10 million.

The bank loans were secured by first legal mortgages over certain properties under development and certain bank deposits of the Group.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

3. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the internal resources available to the Group and the presently available banking facilities, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances, the Group will have sufficient working capital for its present requirement for at least the next twelve months from the date of this circular.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

Financial market volatility around the world has dramatically increased recently. The instability in the global stock markets has adversely affected the economic conditions. The global economic performance for the second half of the year is expected to be weaker than expected in the first half of 2015. There are considerable downside risks in the external economic environment. The recent sharp correction in the PRC’s stock market has heightened the risks to growth in the PRC. Low commodity prices, the appreciation of the US$ and the expected normalization of US interest rates have added pressures on the currencies of the emerging countries and assets markets. The Group is seeking to streamline and strengthen its existing business to meet the challenges ahead. The Group will continue to cautiously manage its investment portfolio in view of the market conditions and its business needs with a view to maximizing returns to the Shareholders. Amid the volatile market conditions, the Group adopts a cautious and prudent approach in conducting its corporate finance and securities broking business. Management will continue to assess new investment opportunities to capture growth opportunities and enhance shareholders’ value.
