CONNECTED TRANSACTION REDEMPTION OF FUND
The Board announces that the Company intends to redeem, through an asset management plan managed by Galaxy Jinhui, its entire interests in the Fund. The Fund is a money market fund issued by the Galaxy Fund. The principal amount of the Company’s investment in the Fund is RMB500,000,000, and the proceeds from the Redemption are estimated to be RMB534,481,009.57.
Galaxy Financial Holdings is the controlling shareholder of the Company holding approximately 51.16% of the total issued shares of the Company, and is therefore a connected person of the Company. Galaxy Fund, owned as to 50% equity interest by Galaxy Financial Holdings, is a nonwholly owned subsidiary of Galaxy Financial Holdings, and is therefore a connected person of the Company. As such, the Redemption constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the highest applicable percentage ratio of the Redemption is more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the Redemption is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, but is exempted from the independent shareholders’ approval requirement.

On 26 December 2018, the Company subscribed for the Fund issued by Galaxy Fund in the amount of RMB500,000,000 through an asset management plan managed by Galaxy Jinhui and pursuant to the Securities and Financial Products Transactions Framework Agreement between the Company and Galaxy Financial Holdings then in force.

THE REDEMPTION
The Company intends to redeem, through an asset management plan managed by Galaxy Jinhui, its entire interests in the Fund. Galaxy Jinhui (as the Fund holder) will submit an application for redemption to Galaxy Fund (as the Fund manager), and Galaxy Fund will pay the redemption price and the dividends of the Fund on the day following the confirmation of the application for redemption. The redemption price is calculated based on the net asset value of the Fund on the date of application for redemption. Based on the net asset value of the Fund on the date of this announcement, the redemption price is estimated to be RMB511,809,734.88. The dividends are determined based on the market performance of the financial assets invested by the Fund. Based on the information on dividends provided by the Fund on the date of this announcement, the dividends of the Group derived from the investments of the Fund are estimated to be RMB22,671,274.69. No redemption fee is payable by the Group in respect of the Redemption.
FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE REDEMPTION
The proceeds from the Redemption are estimated to be RMB534,481,009.57 (including the redemption price of RMB511,809,734.88 and the dividends of RMB22,671,274.69). The Group is expected to record a gain from the Redemption of RMB34,481,009.57, being the difference between the proceeds from the Redemption and the initial subscription price of the Fund redeemed. The actual gain or loss recorded by the Group in connection with the Redemption is subject to audit.
The proceeds from the Redemption are proposed to be used for the general working capital of the Group and to finance its future investments.
INFORMATION OF THE FUND
The Fund invests mainly in: (i) cash; (ii) bank deposits, bond repurchases, central bank bills and interbank certificates of deposit with maturity within one year (inclusive); (iii) bonds, asset-backed securities and non-financial corporate debt financing instruments with a remaining term within 397 days (inclusive); and (iv) other money market instruments as recognised by laws and regulations or by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the People’s Bank of China which are of good liquidity.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE CONNECTED TRANSACTION
Having considered the expected return on the Redemption, the Directors consider that the Redemption represents a good opportunity for the Group to realise its investment, allowing it to reallocate the Group’s resources to other existing businesses.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Redemption is entered into in the ordinary course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms, is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. As Mr. LIU Dingping, Mr. YANG Tijun, Ms. LIU Chang and Mr. LIU Zhihong hold positions in or receive remunerations from Galaxy Financial Holdings and/or Central Huijin, they have abstained from voting on the resolution of the Board to approve the Redemption.
