of equity financing, on 28 November 2022, the media spokesperson of the CSRC proposed that the stable and healthy development of the real estate market is related to the stability of the financial market and the overall economic and social development, and the CSRC supports the implementation of the plan for improving the balance sheets of high-quality real estate enterprises, increasing equity replenishment, and promoting the revitalization, prevention of risks and the transformation and development of real estate premises. The CSRC decided to adjust and optimize five measures in equity financing to support equity financing of real estate enterprises, including allowing the non-public re-financing of listed real estate enterprises, guiding the funds raised to be used for policy support of real estate business, including real estate projects related to “ensuring project delivery and livelihood”, construction of housing for economic use, re-development of shanty areas or urban renewal and relocation, as well as replenishment of liquidity resources and repaying debts which meet the requirements of the re-financing policy of listed companies. On 22 December 2022, the Central Economic Working Conference also pointed out the need to ensure the stable development of the real estate market and adhered to the job of ensuring project, livelihood and stability, and support for rigid and improved housing needs.

efforts to regulate the real estate market in order to promote the stable and healthy development of the real estate industry, and issued a series of macro-control policies, resulting periodic fluctuations in the whole real estate industry while maintaining rapid growth.

Market (Guo Fa [2014] No. 17) and Guiding Opinions on Matters relating to the Dilution of Immediate Return Resulting from Initial Public Offering, Refinancing and Material Asset Restructuring (CSRC Announcement [2015] No. 31) and other laws, regulations and regulatory documents, in order to protect the interests of small and medium-sized investors, the Company has conducted a serious analysis of the impact of the issuance of A shares to specific parties on the dilution of immediate return and has proposed remedial measures for the dilution of immediate return in the light of the actual situation. At the same time, all directors and senior management of the Company have given undertakings that the remedial measures for the dilution of immediate returns by issuing to specific parties can be practically fulfilled, details are as follows:

  • (I) The effect of the issuance of diluted current returns to specific targets on the Company’s key financial indicators

1. Assumptions for the measurement of diluted current returns

  - (1) Assuming there are no significant adverse changes in the macroeconomic environment, market environment, industrial policies, production and operation of the Company and its subsidiaries.

  - (2) Assuming that the issuance to specific parties is expected to be completed in June 2023, such completion time is a hypothetical estimate and is only used for the purpose of calculating the impact of the diluted immediate return of the issue to specific parties on key financial indicators and does not constitute a commitment as to the actual completion time, which is ultimately based on the actual completion time of the issuance after the consent of the CSRC for registration.

  - (3) In projecting the total share capital of the Company, the total share capital of the Company of 11,630,709,471 shares (including treasury shares) as at the date of this Report was taken as the basis, and only the effect of the issue of shares to specific parties was considered, without taking into account other factors (such as bonus shares and capitalisation of capital reserves) that would result in changes in share capital.

  - (4) Assuming that the number of shares to be issued to the specific parties is 1,100,000,000 shares; and assuming that the total amount of funds to be raised by the issue to the specific parties is RMB15,000 million, without taking into account the effect of deducting the issue expenses.

  - (5) From January to September 2022, the Company’s net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company was RMB17,050 million and the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company after deduction of non-recurring profit or loss was RMB16,500 million.

REPORT ON THE DEMONSTRATION AND ANALYSIS OF THE PROPOSAL TO ISSUE A SHARES TO SPECIFIC SUBSCRIBERS IN 2023

Assuming that the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company and the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company after extraordinary gain or loss for the full year 2022 are both annualised information of the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company and the net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company after extraordinary gain or loss for January-September 2022 (i.e. 4/3 times the data for January-September 2022). Net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company and net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company after extraordinary gain or loss for 2023 are measured on the basis of three scenarios: flat, up 10% and down 10% from 2022. The hypothetical analysis was made in accordance with the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations of the CSRC and does not constitute a profit forecast for the Company for the year 2022 or 2023, and does not represent the Company’s judgment on the future operating conditions and trends, and investors should not make investment decisions based on it, and the Company shall not be liable for any losses incurred by investors as a result of making investment decisions based on it.

  • (6) With reference to the arithmetic average of the Company’s cash distribution ratio for each of the past three years, it is assumed that the Company’s cash distribution ratio for 2023 will be the same as that ratio and the cash distribution will be implemented in August 2023.

  • (7) Assuming equity attributable to owners of the listed company as at 31 December 2023 = equity attributable to owners of the listed company at the beginning of the period in 2023 + net profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company for the year 2023 + total proceeds from the issuance to specific parties – cash dividends to be implemented in 2023.

  • (8) No consideration will be given to the issuance expenses; the number of shares to be issued to specific parties and the time of completion of the issue are estimates only and will ultimately be subject to the number of shares registered for issue and the actual time of completion of the issue as agreed by the CSRC; no consideration will be given to the impact on the production and operation and financial position (such as financial expenses and investment income) of the Company after the funds raised from the issue to specific parties have been received.
