On 31 July 2023 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), further to (i) the disposal of 25,600 XPeng Shares through the open market at an aggregate consideration of approximately US$0.4 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3.0 million) (excluding transaction costs) on 5 July 2023 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange); (ii) the disposal of 18,300 XPeng Shares through the open market at an aggregate consideration of approximately US$0.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2.0 million) (excluding transaction costs) as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 10 July 2023; and (iii) the disposal of 17,600 XPeng Shares through the open market at an aggregate consideration of approximately US$0.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2.0 million) (excluding transaction costs) on 13 July 2023 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), the Company has further disposed of an aggregate of 131,400 XPeng Shares through the open market at an aggregate consideration of approximately US$2.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$20.6 million) (excluding transaction costs), which are receivable in cash on settlement. The average price (excluding transaction costs) for the disposal of each XPeng Share was approximately US$20.13 (equivalent to approximately HK$156.59). The total consideration for the aggregate of all transactions respectively contemplated under (i) the Disposal of XPeng Shares; (ii) the Company’s previous disposals of XPeng Shares on 5 July 2023 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange) and 13 July 2023 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange) (for the avoidance of doubt, such disposals do not constitute notifiable transactions on the part of the Company under the Listing Rules); and (iii) the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares is approximately US$3.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$27.6 million).

As the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares was conducted in the open market, the identities of the counterparties of the disposed XPeng Shares cannot be ascertained. To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries, the counterparties and the ultimate beneficial owner(s) of the counterparties of the disposed XPeng Shares are Independent Third Parties.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION ON XPENG

XPeng is an exempted company incorporated in Cayman Islands with limited liability and a holding company with no material operations of its own. XPeng conducts their operations primarily through their PRC subsidiaries. XPeng designs, develops, manufactures, and markets smart electric vehicles that appeal to the large and growing base of technology-savvy middle-class consumers. The XPeng Group is also involved in providing after-sales services to their customers.

The following financial information is extracted from the published documents of the XPeng Group:

For the year ended For the year ended
31 December 2021 31 December 2022
(audited) (audited)
RMB’000
HK$’000
RMB’000 HK$’000
Revenues 20,988,131
23,716,588

Net (loss) before taxation (4,837,106)

Net (loss) after taxation (4,863,096)
(5,495,298)
(9,138,972) (10,327,038)

Based on XPeng’s published documents, the XPeng Group has an audited consolidated net assets value of approximately RMB42,147 million (equivalent to approximately HK$47,626 million) as at 31 December 2021 and RMB36,911 million (equivalent to approximately HK$41,709 million) as at 31 December 2022.

Based on XPeng’s published documents, the XPeng Group has an unaudited consolidated net asset value of approximately RMB34,454 million (equivalent to approximately HK$38,933 million) as at 31 March 2023.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE FURTHER DISPOSAL OF XPENG SHARES

Upon Completion, the Company shall cease to hold any XPeng Shares. Upon Completion, the Group expects to recognise a gain on the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares (before taxation) of HK$9.0 million, which is the difference between the aggregate consideration for the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares of HK$20.6 million and the carrying amount of approximately HK$11.6 million of the disposed XPeng Shares, which is classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the consolidated financial statement of the Group.

Upon Completion, the total assets of the Group would have increased by HK$9.0 million due to the recognition of the gain on the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares minus the associated transaction costs, whereas the total liabilities of the Group would have remained unchanged.

It should be noted that the above financial effects of the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares are for illustrative purpose only. The actual impact of the Proposed Disposal to be recognised by the Group will be subject to final audit by the Company’s auditors.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE FURTHER DISPOSAL OF XPENG SHARES

The aggregate consideration of the Disposal of XPeng Shares was approximately US$0.3 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2.0 million) (excluding transaction costs). The aggregate consideration of the Company’s previous disposals of XPeng Shares on 5 July 2023 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange) and 13 July 2023 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange) was approximately US$0.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$5.0 million) (excluding transaction costs). As a result, the total consideration for the aggregate of all transactions respectively contemplated under (i) the Disposal of XPeng Shares; (ii) the Company’s previous disposals of XPeng Shares on 5 July 2023 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange) and 13 July 2023 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange) (for the avoidance of doubt, such disposals do not constitute notifiable transactions on the part of the Company under the Listing Rules); and (iii) the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares is approximately US$3.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$27.6 million).

As a result of the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares, the Group is expected to recognise a gain of approximately US$1.2 million (equivalent to approximately HK$9.0 million) being the difference between the consideration received from the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares and the acquisition cost of disposed XPeng Shares. The Group considers that the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares represents an opportunity to allow the Group to reallocate the resources and investment portfolio. The Group has applied part of the proceeds from the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares of approximately US$1.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$7.9 million) for the consideration for the Acquisition of Shopify Shares by the Company as disclosed in the announcement dated 1 August 2023. The Group intends to apply the remaining proceeds from the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares of approximately US$1.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$12.7 million) for general working capital of the Group or other appropriate investment opportunities as and when appropriate.

As the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares was made in the open market at prevailing market price, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As the highest applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares, when aggregated with the Disposal of XPeng Shares by the Company in the preceding 12-month period, exceeds 25% but is less than 75%, the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is subject to reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REMEDIAL ACTIONS

Pursuant to Rule 14.34 of the Listing Rules, after the terms of a major transaction have been finalised, the Company must publish an announcement as soon as possible. As such, the failure by the Company to comply with the above requirement constituted breach of Rule 14.34 of the Listing Rules.

The Company attributes the incident of non-compliance with the Listing Rules as disclosed in this circular to the misapprehension as to the treatment of the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules by its responsible staff and management. As there were multiple transactions that took place at the same time, the responsible staff and management of the Company believed that they had made adequate disclosure, without realising that the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares would constitute ‘‘transactions’’ under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. As a result, the Company did not publish an announcement of the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares in a timely manner. Subsequently, the Company discovered this matter and made the Announcement on its initiative. The required details of the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares had been disclosed in the Announcement and this circular.

The Company deeply regrets that its non-compliance with the Listing Rules as disclosed in this circular. It would like to stress that such delay was inadvertent and the Company had no intention to withhold any information relating to the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares.

The Company takes the above incident seriously and has implemented the following remedial actions in order to prevent recurrence of such delay in the future:

  1. The Company has reminded its responsible staff and management of the treatment and reporting procedures of notifiable transactions under the Listing Rules to avoid delay in disclosure in the future should such obligations arise. The Company will also offer trainings to the responsible staff, management and the Directors relating to notifiable transactions under the Listing Rules in order to strengthen and reinforce their existing knowledge as well as their ability to identify potential issues at an early stage. Such trainings were completed by end of August 2023.

  2. The Company will work more closely with its legal advisers on compliance issues and shall, as and when appropriate, consult other professional advisers before entering into any potential notifiable transaction. If necessary, the Company might also consult the Stock Exchange on the proper treatment of a proposed transaction.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. The Company will strengthen the coordination and reporting arrangements for notifiable transactions among various departments of the Company to ensure due compliance of the Listing Rules. Prior to entering into any transaction not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group in the future where disclosure threshold is met, the relevant departments will be notified and draft agreements (if any) will be circulated for their review to ensure compliance with applicable requirements under the Listing Rules.

The Directors believe that the implementation of the remedial measures as disclosed above will strengthen and reinforce the knowledge of the responsible staff, management and Directors relating to notifiable transactions under the Listing Rules, and improve the regulatory compliance abilities of the Company in the identification and reporting of related issues with assistance from appropriate external advisers. Going forward, the Company will make such disclosure in a timely manner to ensure compliance with the Listing Rules.

WRITTEN SHAREHOLDER’S APPROVAL

Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, shareholders’ approval may be obtained by written shareholders’ approval in lieu of convening a general meeting if (a) no shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares; and (b) written approval has been obtained from a shareholder or a closely allied group of shareholders who together hold more than 50% of the issued share capital of the Company giving the right to attend and vote at general meetings to approve the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has any material interest in the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares. Thus, if the Company were to convene a general meeting to approve the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions in relation to the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares. As such, the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares may be approved by written Shareholder’s approval in accordance with Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

In relation to written approval in lieu of holding a general meeting in respect of the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares, the Company obtained shareholder’s approval from Yoho Bravo Limited which holds 599,658,000 shares (representing approximately 74.96% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at the date of the written approval by Yoho Bravo Limited and the Latest Practicable Date respectively) pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules. As a result, no extraordinary general meeting will be convened to consider the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares are on normal commercial terms, which is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Directors would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the Further Disposal of XPeng Shares if a physical meeting were to be held.
