LETTER FROM THE BOARD

CAPITAL RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS

Save for the Volga Subscription which was entered on the same date as the Subscription Agreement, the Company has not carried out any other equity capital raising activities in the 12 months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

Under the Volga Subscription, Volga Innovation Limited subscribed for 71,149,000 new Shares at HK$5.22 per Share. Such Shares are to be issued pursuant to the general mandate granted by the Shareholders to the Directors at the annual general meeting held on 22 May 2019. The proceeds from the Volga Subscription is approximately HK$370 million and will be applied by the Company for development and general working capital purposes.

INFORMATION ON THE PARTIES

The Subscriber is principally engaged in the investment management business. The Subscriber is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of 三六零安全科技股份有限公司 (‘‘360.com’’), a company established in the People’s Republic of China, the shares of which are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, 360.com is the largest internet and mobile technology provider in the PRC. 360.com is controlled as to approximately 63.7% by Mr. Zhou Hongyi (‘‘Mr. Zhou’’), a non-executive Director. The Subscriber is therefore an associate of Mr. Zhou and is a connected person of the Company.

The Company is principally engaged in the business of property management and the provision of related on-line added value services.

REASONS FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Subscription will enable the Company to raise fund and foster cooperation with 360.com in widely applying the technologies such as core security capacity, big data, IoT and artificial intelligence to the community security segment, so as to effectively enhance the brand recognition and influence of the Second Subscriber in urban and community security, laying a solid foundation for establishing urban security nexus and creating ‘‘macro-security’’ industrial ecosphere.

The Group has in recent years evolved from being a traditional property management company into a community platform-based enterprise. Through the use of communication technology, the Group has introduced value-added services and transformed itself from ‘‘property management’’ to ‘‘internet + community’’ and from ‘‘managing property’’ to ‘‘serving people’’, thereby effectively linking residents of the communities under the Group’s management with different commodities and service providers, so as to provide the best service for the millions of residents in the communities under the Group’s management.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at 31 December 2018, the service area of the Company’s ‘‘Caizhiyun’’ platform reached 1,122.3 million sq.m. and covering more than 5,000 communities. The number of registered users in the Company’s ecosystem exceeded 26.4 million, with active users reached 14.0 million. By using property management service as a base, the Group developed a link with homeowners, where the Group has been expanding the property based ecosystem to that of a B2F (Business to Family) ecosystem that meets the diversified demand of homeowners’ families. In 2018, the transaction amount of the ‘‘Caizhiyun’’ platform reached RMB9,448 million, representing a yearon-year increase of approximately 24.1%.

Owing to the scale of the platform services of the Group and its fast development, the Company needs to seek cooperation with a leading enterprise in the field of security and data protection to enhance the security of the Group’s platform operation and for future business development. 360.com is the largest internet and mobile technology provider in the PRC. It integrates more than 20 kinds of security protection methods such as resource isolation, data encryption and security hardening, to provide security solutions to its partners. The Company considers that the cooperation with 360.com could help the Group to enhance the operational security of its online platforms as well as improving the quality and efficiency of its offline services.

Moreover, as a leading internet security company, 360.com enjoys very high market recognition and serves a wide range of customers including banks, large-scale enterprises and government agencies. The strategic increase in its shareholding in the Company is expected to greatly enhance the market visibility of the Company and create good brand endorsement of the Company’s operations.

The net proceeds from the Subscription in the amount of approximately HK$119.4 million is expected to be applied by the Company for development and general working capital purposes, with details as follows:

  • (i) approximately 25% (approximately HK$29.9 million) will be used for the development of the Group’s online platform, namely Caizhiyun (including application development, cloud service procurement, big data building, security system and artificial intelligent technology development);

  • (ii) approximately 70% (approximately HK$84.0 million) will be used for the purchase of IoT equipment/system, such as face recognition access control, elevators monitoring system, video surveillance system, facility equipment sensor and IoT gateway/extranet; and

  • (iii) approximately 5% (approximately HK$5.5 million) will be used for general working capital purposes.

With reference to the 2018 Annual Report and as advised by the Directors, the Group focuses on setting up offline and online service platform via the internet and effectively linking residents of the community with different commodities and service providers, so as to provide the best service for the residents of the community. Following the in-depth implementation of smart community construction, the Group is undergoing transformation into a technology service-oriented modern service enterprise. Such transformation was primarily embodied in the fact that the Group actively acquires new technology brought on by the development of the internet and focuses on the investment in intelligent equipment.

Information on the Subscriber

With reference to the Board Letter, the Subscriber is principally engaged in the investment management business. The Subscriber is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of 360.com, a company established in the People’s Republic of China, the shares of which are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. 360.com is a sizeable and reputable internet and mobile technology provider in the PRC. 360.com is controlled as to approximately 63.7% by Mr. Zhou, a non-executive Director. The Subscriber is therefore an associate of Mr. Zhou and is a connected person of the Company.

Reasons for and benefits of the Subscription and use of proceeds

With reference to the Board Letter, the Subscription will enable the Company to raise fund and foster cooperation with 360.com in widely applying the technologies such as core security capacity, big data, Internet-of-Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence to the community security segment, so as to effectively enhance the brand recognition and influence of the Subscriber in urban and community security, laying a solid foundation for establishing urban security nexus and creating ‘‘macro-security’’ industrial ecosphere.

As aforementioned, following the in-depth implementation of smart community construction, the Group is undergoing transformation into a technology serviceoriented modern service enterprise. Such transformation was primarily embodied in the fact that the Group actively acquires new technology brought on by the development of the internet and focuses on the investment in intelligent equipment. Therefore, the cooperation with 360.com is in-line with the Group’s development strategy.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

With reference to the Board Letter, owing to the scale of the platform services of the Group and its fast development, the Company needs to seek cooperation with a leading enterprise in the field of security and data protection to enhance the security of the Group’s platform operation and for future business development. 360.com is a sizeable and reputable internet and mobile technology provider in the PRC. It integrates more than 20 kinds of security protection methods, such as resource isolation, data encryption and security hardening, to provide security solutions to its partners. The Company considers that the cooperation with 360.com can help the Group to enhance the operational security of its online platforms as well as improving the quality and efficiency of its offline services.

Moreover, as a leading internet security company, 360.com enjoys very high market recognition and serves a wide range of customers including banks, large-scale enterprises and government agencies. The strategic increase in its shareholding in the Company through the Subscription is expected to greatly enhance the market visibility of the Company and create good brand endorsement of the Company’s operations.

With reference to the Board Letter, the net proceeds from the Subscription is expected to be approximately HK$119.4 million (the ‘‘Net Proceeds’’) and the Company intends to apply the Net Proceeds for development and general working capital purposes.

Upon our enquiry, the Directors advised us that the Company intends to apply:

  • (i) approximately 25% of the Net Proceeds (approximately HK$29.9 million) for the development of the Group’s online platform, namely, Caizhiyun (including application development, cloud service procurement, big data building, security system and artificial intelligence development);

  • (ii) approximately 70% of the Net Proceeds (approximately HK$84.0 million) for the purchase of IoT equipment/system such as face recognition access control, elevators monitoring system, video surveillance system, facility equipment sensor and IoT gateway/extranet; and

  • (iii) approximately 5% of the Net Proceeds (approximately HK$5.5 million) for general working capital purposes.

– 18 –

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

With reference to the 2018 Annual Report, the Group is actively building up its online platform, namely, Caizhiyun, for its community services, and migrating functions such as paying property management fees, ordering repair and maintenance services, issuing notices and submitting complaints from a traditional offline approach to the online platform. In FY2018, the Group also continued to carry out the internetbased transformation to the projects under its management. It strengthens the transformation of the community mainly in two directions. Firstly, hardware is upgraded to include remote monitoring of elevators, QR code/face recognition access control, vehicle license recognition system in car park etc., so as to realise centralized management control, replacing labour with equipment, saving energy and duty, enhancing efficiency and service quality. Secondly, a community service platform is established through connecting communities to the Group’s headquarter cloud system.

With reference to the Board Letter, as at 31 December 2018, the Company had cash balance of approximately RMB2.67 billion, which were used by the Company as to approximately RMB1.14 billion for the repayment of certain indebtedness of the Group, as to approximately RMB210 million for the payment of dividend to the Shareholders, and the remaining balance will be applied as general working capital to support the daily operation of the Group which covers over 260 cities in the PRC, and as reserve.

Given the above, the Net Proceeds can serve as additional fund to facilitate the Group’s business development according to its business strategy.

Having considered:

  • (i) the cooperation with 360.com is in-line with the Group’s development strategy; and

  • (ii) the Net Proceeds from the Subscription can serve as additional fund to facilitate the Group’s business development according to its business strategy,

we are of the view that, although the Subscription is not conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, the Subscription is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

2. Principal terms of the Subscription Agreement

On 19 July 2019, the Company and the Subscriber entered into the Subscription Agreement in respect of the subscription of the Subscription Shares.

Analysis on the Subscription Price

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we conducted the following analysis:

a) Share price performance

Set out below is a chart showing the movement of the closing prices of the Shares during the period from 3 July 2018 to 19 July 2019, being approximate one year up to and including the date of Subscription Agreement (the ‘‘Review Period’’) which is commonly used for analysis purpose, to illustrate the general trend and level of movement of the closing prices of the Shares:

During the Review Period, the highest and lowest closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange were HK$8.63 per Share recorded on 26 July 2018 and HK$3.65 recorded on 29 October 2018 and 30 October 2018 respectively. The Subscription Price is within the closing price range of the Shares during the Review Period.

As depicted from the above chart, the closing prices of the Shares formed a sliding trend from July 2018 to October 2018. Subsequently, the closing price of the Shares gradually recovered to HK$6.33 as at 2 April 2019. Thereafter, the closing price of the Shares fluctuated up to the end of the Review Period.

b) Comparables

As part of our analysis, we also identified subscription of new shares under specific mandate for cash (the ‘‘Subscription Comparables’’) which were announced by listed companies in Hong Kong from 1 January 2019 up to 19 July 2019, being an approximate half-year period up to and including the date of Subscription Agreement. The approximate half-year timeframe was adopted to demonstrate the recent market trends with sufficient and representative number of Subscription Comparables. To the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, we found 20 transactions which met the said criteria. Shareholders should note that the businesses, operations and prospects of the Company are not the same as the subject companies of the Subscription Comparables.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Note: Based on the closing price per share of the company on the last trading day prior to the date of agreement(s) in relation to the transaction.

We noted from the above table that the subscription prices of the Subscription Comparables (excluding Shunfeng International Clean Energy Limited (stock code: 1165), Pearl Oriental Oil Limited (stock code: 632) and CSMall Group Limited (stock code: 1815) which are considered to be outliers) ranged from a discount of approximately 23.08% to a premium of approximately 28.89% to/over the respective closing prices of their shares on/prior to the date of agreement in relation to the respective subscription of new shares under specific mandate (the ‘‘Discount/Premium Market Range’’), with an average discount of approximately 3.89%. Accordingly, the discount of the Subscription Price to the closing price of the Shares on the date of Subscription Agreement falls within the Discount/Premium Market Range and is close to its average.

Having considered the above and that the Subscription Price is within the closing price range of the Shares during the Review Period, we consider the Subscription Price to be fair and reasonable.

Mandate to issue the Subscription Shares

With reference to the Board Letter, the Subscription Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the specific mandate proposed to be sought from the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

Detailed terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement are set out under the section headed ‘‘THE SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT’’ of the Board Letter.

Taking into account the principal terms of the Subscription (including the Subscription Price) as highlighted above, we are of the view that the terms of the Subscription Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable.

3. Possible dilution effect on the shareholding interests of the public Shareholders

With reference to the shareholding table in the section headed ‘‘EFFECT ON THE SHAREHOLDING OF THE COMPANY FOLLOWING COMPLETION OF THE SUBSCRIPTION’’ of the Board Letter, the shareholding interests of the other public Shareholders after completion of the Volga Subscription would be diluted by approximately 0.41 percentage point as a result of the Subscription. In this regard, taking into account (i) the reasons for and benefits of the Subscription; and (ii) the terms of the Subscription Agreement being fair and reasonable, we are of the view that the said level of dilution to the shareholding interests of the public Shareholders as a result of the Subscription is justifiable.
