Assets to be acquired
28.07% equity interests in Jiatai Construction
Consideration
The consideration for Jiatai Acquisition I shall be RMB421,050,000 (equivalent to HK$513,259,950) which, after setting-off of the amounts (principal and interests) as at the date of Jiatai Agreement I due from Vendor I and its associate to Jiatai Group on completion of Jiatai Agreement I, shall be satisfied by the allotment and issuance of Jiatai Consideration Shares I at the issue price of HK$0.40 per Jiatai Consideration Share I credited as fully paid.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In addition, the Jiatai Group owns two pieces of vacant land for medical and health purposes each located near the Nanjing Tongren Hospital (“ Nanjing Land ”) and the Kunming Tongren Hospital (“ Kunming Land ”) respectively and also engages in property development operation in Nanjing, PRC, and owns certain residential and commercial lands in Lianyungang, PRC. The Nanjing Land consists of a site area of 103.46 Mu and planned gross floor area of 110,000 sqm and is currently occupied by three buildings with site area of 31 Mu and gross floor area of 18,756 sqm and used as rehabilitation centre and staff quarters. There is approximately 72.46 Mu remaining vacant. The Kunming Land consists of a site area of 155 Mu and is currently occupied by one building with site area of 17 Mu and gross floor area of 4,699 sqm and used as office building. There is approximately 138 Mu remained vacant with planned gross floor area of 150,000 sqm. Currently, no development plan for both Nanjing Land and Kunming Land is formulated yet.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the property development project, Kangya Garden Phase III, was still in progress of which 407 units (about 97%) out of 419 units had been pre-sold and any contribution to the result of Jiatai Group is expected only be recorded following the completion of the development and issuance of occupation permits by relevant authorities which is expected to be in the first quarter of 2016. Subject to the audit on the total construction cost upon completion, the estimated remaining capital expenditure required to complete the development of Kangya Garden Phase III is approximately RMB51 million.
Upon completion of Jiatai Acquisitions, Jiatai Construction will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group.
The following is the audited consolidated financial information of the Jiatai Group as extracted from its audited consolidated financial statements for the two years ended 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2014 which were prepared in accordance with PRC accounting standards:

| Net assets | 742,635 | 652,036 |
Losses for the year ended 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2014 of Jiatai Group were mainly due to the continued trend of increase of labour cost, especially medical and technical staff, in the PRC as well as high interest expenses as a result of high gearing of the Jiatai Group, and depreciation and amortization charges of the hospital operations. A greater loss was recorded for the year ended 31 December 2014 mainly due to the decrease in development profit of Kangya Garden Phase II being recorded and the construction of Kangya Garden Phase III being still in progress resulting in no contribution to the results of Jiatai Group in 2014.
- (1) inclusive of revenue from property development business of Kangya Garden Phase II for 2013, and Phase I and II (remaining units) for 2014 of RMB357,288,000 and RMB45,497,000 respectively

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF JIATAI ACQUISITIONS
The Group considers that the outlook for the private healthcare sector in the PRC is positive due to its favourable demographic (such as aging population) and macro factors (such growing middle class), low penetration of private healthcare institutions, and supportive government policies (such as the “Opinions on Promoting Further Reform of the Healthcare System (中共中央國務院 關於深化醫藥衛生體制改革的意見)” which were promulgated by the State Council on March 17, 2009, the “Notice on the Implementation Measures for the Reform of the Healthcare System (2009 to 2011) (國務院關於印發醫藥衛生體制改革近期重點實施方案(2009-2011年)的通知)”, which was promulgated by the State Council on March 18, 2009 and the “Notice of the State Council on Forwarding the Opinions of the NDRC, the NHFPC and other Departments on Further Encouraging and Guiding Private Capital to Invest in Medical Institutions (關於進一步鼓勵和引導社會資本 舉辦醫療機構意見的通知) (“ Order No. 58 ”)”, which was promulgated by the General Office of the State Council on November 26, 2010)). Such was further reinforced by the grand planning of “To accelerate construction of Healthy China, deepen the reform of medical and health system, rationalize the price of medicines, carry out the linkage among medical treatment, health care and medicine, set up the basic medical and health care and modern hospital management systems and implement food safety strategy” under the latest communique of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 18th Communist Party of China Central Committee in 2015. Further, there is an increase in the public awareness of health and safety in the PRC. As such, private sector investments in medical institutions, a key part of the ongoing healthcare reform in the PRC, is expected to continue to provide Jiatai Group with significant growth opportunities.
As announced on 6 August 2014, the Group proposed to dispose of its entire interest in Jiatai Construction which was subsequently terminated due to certain of the conditions precedent of such disposal not being fulfilled or waived by the relevant parties by the long stop date[(1)] .
On 26 June 2015, the Group received an offer to acquire from the Group its entire interest in Jiatai Construction which offer was subsequently withdrawn due to the purchaser’s inability to obtain financing given the volatility of the financial market in the PRC[(2)] .
At the relevant time, the Group considered that the above proposed disposal and offer was good exit possibilities which would bring in substantial estimated capital gain and good cash flow from complete realization of the Group’s investment in Jiatai Group.
(1) References are made to the announcements of the Company date 22 May 2014, 6 August 2014 and 5 March 2015 respectively for the inside information-receipt of offer letter very substantial disposal and connected transaction and inside information termination of very substantial disposal and connected transaction relating to the Group’s entire interest in Jiatai Construction.
- (2) References are made to the announcements of the Company dated 26 June 2015 and 29 June 2015 respectively for inside information-receipt of offer letter and inside information-withdrawal of offer relating to the Group’s entire interest in Jiatai Construction.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
However, as a value investor, the Group will, from time to time, review and adjust its investment strategies, investment portfolio and operations in the PRC taking into account the prevailing economic and demographic environment as well as regulatory environment.
The Group believes that under the current management structure of Jiatai Group, the potential of the businesses of Jiatai Group as well as the value of its assets could never be realised and maximised. Due to the restrictive clauses of the articles of association of Jiatai Construction, the Group would be unable to have complete control to develop the businesses of Jiatai Group according to its plan unless and until the Group makes Jiatai Construction its wholly-owned subsidiary. Taking into account the high potential of the businesses which are fully encouraged and supported by the policies of the central government of the PRC, following the Jiatai Acquisitions, the Group will be able to maximize the potential of Jiatai Group by strengthening its management and financial aspects with the assistance of its recently appointed non-executive directors.
Given the above reasons for and the benefits of Jiatai Acquisitions and the factors considered when determining the considerations for Jiatai Acquisitions as set out in the sub-paragraphs headed “Consideration” of paragraphs under “Jiatai Agreement I”, “Jiatai Agreement II” and “Jiatai Agreement III”, the Group considered that Jiatai Acquisitions will represent a good opportunity for the Group to buy-out the minority interests making Jiatai Construction wholly-owned by the Group. This will allow the Group to gain absolute control and to run and operate Jiatai Group in accordance with its plans in order to maximise the potentials of the business of the Jiatai Group and to enjoy the entire economic benefits from the Jiatai Group. Further, the Group will be able to enjoy flexibilities in the financial policies and options including but not limited to the flexibility to reduce the high gearing level of Jiatai Group without the need to seek capital contribution agreement from minority shareholders in the future since according to the articles of association of Jiatai Construction, important decisions such as the increase in registered capital of Jiatai Construction would require more than two third of the votes of the board of directors of Jiatai Construction. After the completion of Jiatai Acquisition, Jiatai Construction will become a whollyowned subsidiary of the Group and its financial results and assets and liabilities will be fully consolidated into the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the Group’s indirect equity interests in Tongren Healthcare will be increased from 52.46% to 86.69%.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
On 26 October 2015 Dr. Lim Cheok Peng and Dr. Jonathan Weiyan Seah were appointed as non-executive directors of the Company both of whom possess substantial international experiences in healthcare sector[(1)] . Following the Jiatai Acquisitions, with the assistance from Dr. Lim Cheok Peng and Dr. Jonathan Weiyan Seah, the Group will consolidate its control on the operations, strengthening the management and development of Jiatai Group as well as its financial aspects.
Reference is made to the Company’s shareholding structure as at the Latest Practicable Date and immediately after the completion of Jiatai Acquisitions as set out in the paragraph headed “Shareholding Structure”, whereby shareholding of other public Shareholders will decrease mildly by 3.45% from approximately 25.07% to approximately 21.62% immediately after the completion of Jiatai Acquisitions. Although, the shareholding interest of the existing other public Shareholders will be diluted after the issue of Jiatai Consideration Shares, the dilution effect on the shareholding of the existing public Shareholders is limited and to be acceptable by the Board. Having considered all the above factors, the Group considered that the Jiatai Acquisitions are in the interests of the Company and its shareholders.
Given (i) the above reasons for and the benefits of Jiatai Acquisitions, (ii) the factors in determining the considerations for Jiatai Acquisitions as set out in the sub-paragraphs headed “Consideration” in the paragraphs headed “Jiatai Agreement I”, “Jiatai Agreement II” and “Jiatai Agreement III”, (iii) factors considered in determining the issue price of Jiatai Consideration Shares set out in paragraph headed “The Consideration Shares and Issue Price” and (iv) the lockup undertaking arrangement that restricts the Jiatai Consideration Shares being sold in the market for a two-year period, the Group considered that whilst Jiatai Group has been loss making in 2013 and 2014, (a) the recent operating performance of its hospital operations has been substantially improved, (b) though the Group is acquiring the minority interests in Jiatai Construction at these considerations, the considerations under Jiatai Acquisitions were determined by the parties thereto after arm’s length negotiations with the issue price of Jiatai Consideration Shares representing no discount to the market closing price of HK$0.4 per Share on the date of the Company’s announcement of issue of the Jiatai Offer Letters and representing a significant premium of approximately 150% to the audited net asset value per Share of the Group of HK$0.16 as at 30 June 2015, and (c) full control would be obtained by the Group following the Jiatai Acquisitions over management and operation, and all important decisions of Jiatai Construction including but not limited to the flexibility to reduce the high gearing level of Jiatai Group, the Board considers that the terms and conditions of Jiatai Agreement I, Jiatai Agreement II and Jiatai Agreement III are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
(1) Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 26 October 2015 relating to the appointment of non-executive directors.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The consideration for Aveo Acquisition has been determined between Purchaser II and Vendor IV after arm’s length negotiation with reference to, among others, (i) the recent operating performance and asset value of Aveo China Group, (ii) Aveo China’s development project, Tide Health Campus (天地健康城), an elderly care and retirement community platform in the PRC, (iii) the experienced management and professional team of Aveo China Group, (iv) the future prospect of Aveo China Group (v) the significant synergies with existing integrated hospitals, operations and other assets of Jiatai Group, (vi) the settlement of the consideration by means of the Aveo Consideration Shares which will not involve any cash outlay for the Company and (vii) the waiver by Management Shareholders of Aveo China on rights to any performance bonus pursuant to Aveo China Group’s existing policy (being that the Management Shareholders and other employees are entitled to a project bonus based on 10% of final net profit from the Tide Health Campus project (“ 10% Profit Sharing Scheme ”)) on completion of Aveo Acquisition which will reduce the relevant expenses and enhance the earnings and net assets of Aveo China Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The following is the audited consolidated financial information of Aveo China for the two financial years ended 31 December 2013 and 2014 as extracted from its audited consolidated financial statements for the two years ended 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2014 which were prepared in accordance with Hong Kong accounting standards:
| For the | For the | |
|---|---|---|
| year ended | year ended | |
| 31 December | 31 December | |
| 2013 | 2014 | |
| HK$’000 | HK$’000 | |
| Loss before taxation | 31,401 | 46,526 |
| Loss after taxation | 31,401 | 46,526 |
| Net assets | 145,319 | 85,366 |
Since the Tide Health Campus project is still under construction, only selling and administrative expenses with no revenue contribution being recorded for the year ended 31 December 2013 and 2014. The major asset of Aveo China Group is the Tide Health Campus development project with all the liabilities related to such project. The decrease in net asset value of Aveo China Group as at 31 December 2014 as compared to that of 2013 was mainly due to the higher general selling and administrative expenses as the management of Aveo China Group stepped up the advertising campaign for the Tide Health Campus project, and negative exchange reserve as a result of exchange translation loss being recorded. In view of the factors as set out in paragraph headed “Reasons for and the Benefits of Aveo Acquisition” and sub-paragraph headed “Consideration” under paragraph headed “Aveo Agreement”, the Board considered the future prospects of Aveo China Group optimistic and the respective businesses of Aveo China Group and Jiatai Group are complementary to each other in form of mutual medical and professional back up and integration of first line medical care services with back line elderly care nursing services or vice versa integration of front-end retirement care services with back-end medical care services etc., hence adding value to each of the Aveo China Group and the Jiatai Group. Despite no dividend or other benefits had been received by the Company since it acquired the 30% interest in Aveo China which is still in development stage, the Directors are of the view that the Aveo Acquisition is fair and reasonable.
On 11 February 2015, Ms. Chong Sok Un (an executive Director) and Aveo China entered into a call option agreement, whereby Aveo China granted a call option in favour of Ms. Chong Sok Un at the total consideration of HK$1.00 to acquire new shares in Aveo China at a consideration of HK$75,000 per share of Aveo China, to the effect that Ms. Chong shall own 10% of the total number of issued shares in Aveo China at the time of exercise of the said option (approximately 9.09% of the total number of issued shares in Aveo China on an enlarged basis after the exercise of the said option) (‘‘ Call Option ’’). The Call Option is exercisable in whole or in part by Ms. Chong Sok Un from the date of the said agreement to the second anniversary of the date thereof. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total number of issued shares of Aveo China is 4,000 shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The call option agreement was negotiated separately and independently between the board of directors of Aveo China and Ms. Chong Sok Un in February 2015.

Ms. Chong Sok Un confirmed that as at the Latest Practicable Date, she has no current intention in exercising the Call Options.
The Company commenced the negotiation to acquire the 40% interests in Aveo China from Vendor IV on 23 September 2015 being the date of the Aveo Offer Letter.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF AVEO ACQUISITION
The Group considers that the outlook for the private elderly care sector in the PRC is bright due to its favourable demographic (such as aging population) and macro factors (such growing middle class), supportive government policies (such as the ‘‘Opinions on Establishing a Unified Basic Pension Insurance System for Rural and Non-working Urban Residents (Guo Fa 〔2014〕 No. 8) (關於建立統一的城鄉居民基本養老保險制度的意見) (國發〔2014〕 8號)’’ promulgated on 21 February 2014; the ‘‘Several Opinions on Promoting the Development of Health Service Industry (Guo Fa 〔2013〕 No. 40) (關於促進健康服務業發展的若干意見) (國發〔2013〕 40號)’’ published on 28 September 2013; the ‘‘Several Opinions on Accelerating the Development of the Pension Service Industry (Guo Fa 〔2013〕 No. 35)(關於加快發展養老服務業的若干意見) (國發〔2013〕 35號)’’ issued on 6 September 2013, the ‘‘Notice on Issuing China’s Twelfth Five-year Plan for the Development of Elderly Care Industry (Guo Fa 〔2011〕 No.28) (關於印發中國老齡事業發展 “十二五”規劃的通知) (國發〔2011〕 28號)’’ promulgated on 17 September 2011; and the ‘‘Notice on Issuing the Plan for the Development of the Social Pension Service Industry (2011-2015) (Guo Ban Fa 〔2011〕 No.60) (關於印發社會養老服務體系建設規劃(2011-2015年)) (國辦發〔2011〕 60號)’’ published on 16 December 2011) and low penetration of private healthcare institutions. Further, there is an increase in the public awareness of health and safety in the PRC. As such, private sector investments in medical institutions, a key part of the ongoing healthcare reform in China, will continue to provide Aveo China Group with significant growth opportunities.
Given the above reasons for and the benefits of Aveo Acquisition and the factors considered when determining the consideration for Aveo Acquisition as set out in the sub-paragraph headed “Consideration” of paragraph headed “Aveo Agreement”, the Board considers that Aveo Acquisition will enable the Group to increase its interests and obtain control in Aveo China and to consolidate its financial results and assets and liabilities into the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
Reference is made to the shareholding structure of the Aveo China immediately after the completion of Aveo Acquisition but before full exercise of Call Option, and immediately after the completion of Aveo Acquisition and after full exercise of Call Option as set out in the paragraph headed “Information of the Aveo China Group”, shareholding of the Group in Aveo China will be decreased by 6.36% from approximately 70% to approximately 63.64% immediately after the completion of Aveo Acquisition and after full exercise of Call Option. Although the shareholding interest of the Group in Aveo China will be diluted after the full exercise of Call Option, the exercise price of the Call Option (being HK$75,000 per share) is the same as the acquisition price per share (being HK$75,000 per share) under Aveo Acquisition and the previous acquisition of the 30% interest in Aveo China by the existing other shareholder of Aveo China from a former shareholder in April 2015, the Group considered that such dilution effect on the Group’s shareholding in Aveo China after full exercise of the Call Option to be acceptable and that the Aveo Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
– 34 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Reference is also made to the shareholding structure of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and immediately after the completion of Aveo Acquisition as set out in the paragraph headed “Shareholding Structure”, whereby shareholding of other public Shareholders will decrease slightly by 0.7% from approximately 25.07% to approximately 24.37% immediately after the completion of Aveo Acquisition. Whilst the shareholding interest of the existing other public Shareholders will be diluted after the allotment and issue of Aveo Consideration Shares, the Group considered that such dilution effect is limited and to be acceptable and the Board is of the view that the Aveo Acquisition is fair and reasonable.
Given (i) the above reasons for and the benefits of Aveo Acquisition, (ii) the factors in determining the consideration for Aveo Acquisition as set out in the sub-paragraph headed “Consideration” of paragraph headed “Aveo Agreement”, (iii) factors considered in determining the issue price of Aveo Consideration Shares as set out in paragraph headed “The Consideration Shares and Issue Price” and (iv) the lock-up undertaking arrangement that restricts the Aveo Consideration Shares being sold in the market for a two-year period, the Group considered that although the Group is acquiring a minority interest in Aveo China at such consideration, the consideration of Aveo Acquisition was determined by the parties thereto after arm’s length negotiation with an aim to secure control over Aveo China Group and that the Board considers that the terms and conditions of Aveo Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Board did not have any current plans to have capital injection and/or increase in the number of issued shares in Aveo China before 10 February 2017, though, as usual practice, the Group will review from time to time any capital requirement of all its investments for expanding their respective businesses.
THE CONSIDERATION SHARES AND ISSUE PRICE
