LETTER FROM THE BOARD
INFORMATION ABOUT SHANGHAI BAOHUA WANLONG AND THE COMPANY
Shanghai Baohua Wanlong, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is principally engaged in, inter alia, the development of real estate and properties services. The principal business activity of the Company is investment holding. The Group is principally engaged in the business of (a) sale and manufacturing of high quality multi-colour packaging products, carton boxes, books, brochures and other paper products; (b) provision of finance; (c) securities investments; (d) property development and investments; (e) financial leasing; (f) trading and logistics; (g) medical management; (h) manufacturing of industrial equipment; and (i) manufacturing and sale of photovoltaic products.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SHANGHAI LAND ACQUISITION
The Company considers that the Shanghai Land Acquisition is a strategic move to increase its land reserve in Shanghai. In view of (i) the status of Shanghai (being one of the first-tier cities and major financial centres in the PRC); and (ii) the PRC government’s plan for the Land to become a mixed-use high-end business district as disclosed in the Land Use Rights Grant Contract, the Directors are of the view the development potential of the Land is exceptionally high. The Land is intended to be developed into office, commercial units and car park spaces for sale and investment, and Shanghai Baohua Wanlong shall own not less than 60% of the construction area, i.e. 67,203.4 square meters of the office properties and the entire commercial properties, i.e. 12,445.07 square meters developed on the Land during the terms for the grant of the land use rights in accordance with the Land Use Rights Grant Contract. In determining the eventual sale or investment proportion of the properties developed on the Land upon completion of the Development, the Board will take into account the property price and market rental of the office property at the relevant time and the associated costs to be incurred by the Group in relation to such sale or investment.
While the Company had not previously undertaken similar property development project in Shanghai, the Company has a management team with prior working experience at other major property developers in the PRC to carry out the Development. In the event that the Development does not proceed as planned or such sale or investment is expected not to generate the estimated return or income as a result of, among other things, (i) the economy in the PRC; (ii) an unexpected significant increase in the Development cost or associated financing cost; or (iii) an unexpected delay in the construction, the Company may consider other alternative plans, including but not limited to the returning of the Land to Shanghai Minhang District Land Bureau. The Directors have taken into consideration the development potential of the Land, the possible fluctuation in property price, the expected return or income to be generated upon completion of the Development, the cost of the Development, the source of funding for the Development and the associated risks in assessing the Shanghai Land Acquisition and the Development. To the best of their knowledge, the Directors consider that the Shanghai Land Acquisition and the Development will eventually be profitable.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Accordingly, the Company believes the Shanghai Land Acquisition is in line with the Company’s strategy and will complement the Group’s property development and investment business. The Board considers that the Shanghai Land Acquisition is undertaken in the Group’s ordinary and usual business.
In consideration of the above, in particular (i) the high development potential of the Land; and (ii) that the Consideration was arrived at through the bidding process of the Auction, the Directors are of the view that the Shanghai Land Acquisition is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the terms thereof (including the Consideration) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable.
POSSIBLE FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE SHANGHAI LAND ACQUISITION
Immediately upon completion of the Shanghai Land Acquisition, the financial effects of the Shanghai Land Acquisition would lead to an increase in the Group’s non-current assets of RMB2,305,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$2,685,235,000), increase in the Group's borrowings of RMB1,600,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,864,000,000) and decrease in the Group’s bank balances of RMB705,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$821,325,000).
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Shanghai Land Acquisition are greater than 25% but are less than 100%, the Shanghai Land Acquisition should therefore constitute a major transaction for the Company.
The Shanghai Land Acquisition is also regarded as a “qualified property acquisition” under Rule 14.04(10C) of the Listing Rules as the Shanghai Land Acquisition involved an acquisition of governmental land from a PRC Governmental Body through a tender governed by the PRC Law. The Board confirms that the Shanghai Land Acquisition is undertaken on a sole basis by the Group in its ordinary and usual course of business. Therefore, the Shanghai Land Acquisition is subject to the reporting and announcement requirement but is exempt from the Shareholders’ approval requirement under Rule 14.33A of the Listing Rules.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Your attention is also drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.
