LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Notes:

  • (1) The outstanding principal of the Promissory Notes have not included any accrued interest.

  • (2) The Promissory Note of principal amount of HK$67,471,000 was incurred by the Company as consideration for transfer of the child product business by the CCT Fortis Group into the Related Group in 2012.

  • (3) The Promissory Note of the principal amount of HK$900,000,000 was incurred by the Company as consideration for assignment of the mainland property development business from the CCT Fortis Group to the Related Group in 2013.

  • (4) All the other Promissory Notes represent cash advances by CCT Fortis to the Company mainly to finance the mainland property development business of the Related Group.

  • (5) On 6 March 2014, the Company borrowed a 3-year loan of principal amount of HK$38,000,000 from CCT Fortis under the original promissory note issued on 6 March 2014. An amount of HK$4,800,000 was prepaid by the Company on 11 March 2015 and the outstanding principal balance of the loan of HK$33,200,000 is evidenced by the new certificate of the Promissory Note issued on 11 March 2015.

  • (6) All the Promissory Notes are unsecured as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As the majority amount of the Promissory Notes is interest free and interest accrued on the interest-bearing Promissory Notes is not expected to be substantial, the Secured Obligations will not, therefore, include accrued interests on the Promissory Notes. As such, any accrued interests of the Promissory Notes will be unsecured and will not be covered by the Share Charge or the Guarantee.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the following Corporate Guarantees of HK$145,550,000 have been provided by CCT Fortis for the benefit of members of the Related Group: 1. a corporate guarantee up to a maximum amount of HK$70,550,000 given by CCT Fortis in favour of a third party banker of the Related Group, to guarantee trade and other banking facilities extended by the bank to an indirect whollyowned subsidiary of the CCT Global; and

  1. a corporate guarantee up to a maximum amount of HK$75,000,000 given by CCT Fortis in favour of a third party banker to guarantee trade and other banking facilities extended by the bank to another indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the CCT Global.

These facilities include mainly short-term trade finance facilities of tenor up to 120 days. Interest is charged at short-term trade financing interest rates. In order to provide further security on the trade facilities, the bank has requested CCT Fortis to provide the Corporate Guarantees on the basis the Company was a non-wholly owned subsidiary at the material time. The banking facilities together with the Corporate Guarantees have been provided and renewed each year. Despite that CCT Fortis is no longer the holding company of the Company, the bank continues to require the provision of the Corporate

Since then, the CCT Fortis Group has reduced its shareholding interest in the Company to below 50%. As at Latest Practicable Date, the CCT Fortis Group held indirectly approximately 16,800,000,000 shares of the Company, representing approximately 23.90% of the total number of issued shares of the Company.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the CCT Fortis Group has provided Financial Assistances of total amount of HK$1,211,221,000 to the Group. The Financial Assistances are unsecured at present, and have been provided by the CCT Fortis Group for the benefit of Group on normal commercial terms or better. As CCT Fortis is no longer holding company of the Group, the Deed was therefore entered into by the Company and CCT Global as consideration for and as inducement to the CCT Fortis Group for continuing to provide the Financial Assistances to the Group.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE SHARE CHARGE AND THE GUARANTEE

It is not expected that there will be any material financial effect to the Group upon the execution of the Deed, the creation of the Share Charge and the granting of the Guarantee.

INFORMATION ON CCT LAND AND CCT FORTIS

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The Promissory Notes and the Corporate Guarantee constituted financial assistances under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and were fully exempted under Rule 14A.90 of the Listing Rules as they were financial assistance received by the Group from a connected person and were conducted on normal commercial terms or better and not secured by the assets of the Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, CCT Fortis held indirectly through indirect whollyowned subsidiaries (including Jade Assets) a total of 16,800,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 23.90% of the total number of issued shares of the Company. As such, CCT Fortis is a substantial shareholder of CCT Land and therefore a connected person of CCT Land under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Upon the Share Charge and the Guarantee becoming effective, the Promissory Notes and the Corporate Guarantees will constitute a non-exempt financial assistance under the Listing Rules, and therefore the Share Charge and the Guarantee are subject to announcement, circular requirements and the approval of the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM, in accordance with Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. CCT Fortis and its associates will abstain from voting in respect of the resolution(s) to approve the Deed, and the Transactions at the SGM.

Mr. Mak Shiu Tong, Clement, who is an executive director, the chairman and the chief executive officer of each of the Company and CCT Fortis and controls more than one-third of the shareholding of CCT Fortis, he is an associate of CCT Fortis. Mr. Mak Shiu Tong, Clement is therefore deemed to have material interest in the Deed and the Transactions. As such, he had abstained from voting on the resolution(s) of the Board approving the Deed, and the Transactions, as he was absent in the meeting of the Board held for this purpose. Save as aforesaid, none of the other Directors (that is the Directors other than Mr. Mak Shiu Tong, Clement) have any material interest in the Deed and the Transactions, and therefore none of them had abstained from voting on the resolution(s) of the Board approving the Deed, and the Transactions.

As both Mr. Chen Li and Mr. Chow Siu Ngor are common independent non-executive directors of both the Company and CCT Fortis, Mr. Chen and Mr. Chow are not eligible to act as a member of the Independent Board Committee to advise on the terms of the Deed, and the Transactions. Mr. Lau Ho Kit, Ivan is an independent non-executive director of the Company and he has no material interest in the Deed, and the Transactions. As such, Mr. Lau Ho Kit, Ivan is eligible to be appointed as member of the Independent Board Committee to advise on the terms of the Deed, and the Transactions. The Independent Board Committee consisting of only Mr. Lau Ho Kit, Ivan has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether or not the terms of the Deed, and the Transactions are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. An independent financial adviser of the Company will be appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

普頓資本有限公司 PROTON CAPITAL LIMITED

Unit 1001, 10th Floor, Chuang’s Tower, 30-32 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong

17 June 2015

To: The Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders of CCT Land Holdings Limited

Dear Sirs,

CONNECTED TRANSACTION

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Subscription, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ‘‘Board’s Letter’’) contained in the circular of the Company (the ‘‘Circular’’) to the Shareholders dated 17 June 2015, of which this letter forms part. Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

On 28 May 2015, the Deed was entered into by the Company as chargor, CCT Global as guarantor in favour of Jade Assets and CCT Fortis as chargees, under which the Company, as beneficial owner, has agreed to mortgage the Charged Shares as continuing security for the payment, performance and discharge of the Secured Obligations and CCT Global has irrevocably and unconditionally agreed to guarantee the due and punctual payment of each and every sum falls due from the Company under the Secured Obligations, which represent the Promissory Notes and the Corporate Guarantee of the principal amount of HK$1,065,671,000 and HK$145,550,000, respectively and which are provided by the CCT Fortis Group to the Group and for the benefit of the Group.

As disclosed in the Board’s Letter, the Promissory Notes and the Corporate Guarantee constituted financial assistances under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and were fully exempted under Rule 14A.90 of the Listing Rules as they were financial assistance received by the Group from a connected person and were conducted on normal commercial terms or better and not secured by the assets of the Group. As at the Latest Practicable Date, CCT Fortis holds indirectly through indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries (including Jade Assets) a total of 16,800,000,000 Shares, representing approximately 23.90% of the total number of issued shares of the Company. As such, CCT Fortis is a substantial shareholder of the Company and therefore a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Upon the Share Charge and the Guarantee becoming effective, the Promissory Notes and the Corporate Guarantees will constitute a non-exempt financial assistance under the Listing Rules,

– 20 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

and therefore, the Share Charge and the Guarantee is subject to announcement, circular requirements and the approval of the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM, in accordance with Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As both Mr. Chen Li and Mr. Chow Siu Ngor are common independent non-executive directors of both the Company and CCT Fortis, Mr. Chen and Mr. Chow are not eligible to act as a member of the Independent Board Committee to advise on the terms of the Deed, and the Transactions. Mr. Lau Ho Kit, Ivan is an independent non-executive director of the Company and he has no material interest in the Deed, and the Transactions. As such, Mr. Lau Ho Kit, Ivan is eligible to be appointed as member of the Independent Board Committee to advise on the terms of the Deed, and the Transactions.

The Independent Board Committee consisting of only Mr. Lau Ho Kit, Ivan has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether or not the terms of the Deed, the provision of the Share Charge and the Guarantee are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. We, Proton Capital, have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard. Proton Capital is not connected with the directors, chief executive and substantial shareholders of the Company or the CCT Fortis Group or any of their respective subsidiaries or their respective associates. In the last two years, there was no engagement between the Group, the CCT Fortis Group and Proton Capital. Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with this appointment as the independent financial adviser, no arrangements exist whereby we had received any fees or benefits from the Company or the CCT Fortis Group. Accordingly, we are qualified to give independent advice in respect of the Deed and the transactions as contemplated thereunder.

In formulating our recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have relied on the statements, information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular and the information and representations as provided to us by the Directors.

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the Deed and the transactions contemplated thereunder, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

(1) Background of and reasons for the Deed

Information on the Company, CCT Global and the Related Group

The Company is the holding company of CCT Global, which in turn is the holding company of the Related Group. The Related Group is engaged in (i) the development of properties for resale in the PRC; (ii) design and development, manufacturing and sale of the telecom, electronic and child products; and (iii) trading and sale of the child products.

Information on Jade Assets and CCT Fortis

Jade Assets is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CCT Fortis and is engaged in investment holding. CCT Fortis is the holding company of the CCT Fortis Group which is principally engaged in (i) property development and property trading in Hong Kong; (ii) property investment and holding; (iii) manufacture and sale of plastic components; (iv) the securities business; (v) investment in classic cars and provision of restoration, care and maintenance services for classic cars; and (vi) trading and sale of classic cars.

Reasons for and benefits of the Deed

As disclosed in the Board’s Letter, CCT Fortis was the controlling shareholder of the Company and held indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiaries (including the Jade Assets) approximately 50.49% shareholding interest in the Company until 18 December 2014 and therefore, members of the Group (including the Related Group) were subsidiaries of CCT Fortis. Since then, the CCT Fortis Group has reduced its shareholding interest in the Company to below 50%. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the CCT Fortis Group held indirectly approximately 16,800,000,000 shares of the Company, representing approximately 23.90% of the total number of issued shares of the Company.

As further disclosed in the Board’s Letter, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the CCT Fortis Group has provided Financial Assistances of total amount of HK$1,211,221,000 to the Group. The Financial Assistances are unsecured at present, and have been provided by the CCT Fortis Group for the benefit of Group on normal commercial terms or better. As CCT Fortis is no longer holding company of the Group, the Deed was therefore entered into by the Company and CCT Global as consideration for and as inducement to the CCT Fortis Group for continuing to provide the Financial Assistances to the Group.

– 23 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

We noted from the Company’s announcement on 18 December 2014 that upon completion of the placement of 3,250,000,000 Shares took place on 18 December 2014 (the ‘‘Disposal’’), the shareholding interest of the CCT Fortis Group in the Company had been reduced to less than 50%. As such, CCT Fortis had not held a majority of the voting rights in the Company and members of the Group had ceased to be accounted for as subsidiaries of CCT Fortis since then.

Given that the Group has ceased to be accounted for as subsidiaries of CCT Fortis since the completion of the Disposal, we consider that it is fair and reasonable for the Company to enter into the Deed and we concur with the opinion of the Directors that the Deed can serve as inducement to the CCT Fortis Group for continuing to provide the Financial Assistances to the Group.

(2) Principal terms of the Deed

According to the Board’s Letter, the terms of the Deed and the Transactions have been negotiated and will be conducted on an arm’s length basis. The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Deed and the Transactions are in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.

Set out below are the principal terms of the Deed:

(a) Date: 28 May 2015

(b) Parties: (i) the Company as chargor; and (ii) CCT Global as guarantor;

in favour of:

  • (iii) Jade Assets as the first chargee; and

  • (iv) CCT Fortis as the second chargee.

(c) Subject matter of the Deed

The Deed was entered into by the Company as chargor and CCT Global as guarantor in favour of Jade Assets and CCT Fortis as Chargees, under which the Company, as beneficial owner, has agreed to mortgage the Charged Shares as continuing security for the payment, performance and discharge of the Secured Obligations and CCT Global has irrevocably and unconditionally agreed to guarantee the due and punctual payment of each and every sum falls due from the Company under the Secured Obligations, which represent the Financial Assistances of HK$1,211,221,000 which consist of the Promissory Notes and the Corporate Guarantees of the amounts of HK$1,065,671,000 and HK$145,550,000 respectively.

– 24 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

The Charged Shares represent the entire issued capital of CCT Global, which has an unaudited net asset value of approximately HK$1,501 million. The unaudited consolidated net asset value of CCT Global and its subsidiaries is estimated to be approximately HK$1,418 million. These net asset values have not deducted the liabilities of the Company, representing mainly the Promissory Notes of approximately HK$1,065.7 million.

The Chargees may enforce the Share Charge and/or the Guarantee at the time after an Enforcement Event has occurred. The maximum liability under the Deed is limited to the amount of HK$1,211,221,000, i.e. the aggregate amount of the Promissory Notes and the Corporate Guarantees of HK$1,065,671,000 and HK$145,550,000, respectively.

(d) The Financial Assistances

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the CCT Fortis Group has provided financial assistances to the Group by means of the Promissory Notes and the Corporate Guarantees, details of which are as follows:

  • (i) upon full repayment of all the amounts due under the Promissory Notes and other Financial Assistances and interest thereon, if any owing by the Company to the Chargees in accordance with the Promissory Notes; and

Please refer to the Board’s Letter for the details of the major obligations, representations and undertakings of the Company and the CCT Global under the Deed as well as the major Enforcement Events under the Deed.

Reasons for the issue of the Promissory Notes in favour of CCT Fortis/Jade Assets and granting of the Corporate Guarantees by CCT Fortis

Regarding the Promissory Notes, we noted that the save for Promissory Note no. 1 and 2, all the Promissory Notes represent cash advances by CCT Fortis to the Company mainly to finance the mainland property development business of the Group. Promissory Note no. 1 of principal amount of HK$67,471,000 was incurred by the Company as consideration for transfer of the child product business by the CCT Fortis Group to the Related Group in 2012 (the ‘‘2012 Transaction’’), details of which were set out in the circular of the Company dated 21 February 2012. Promissory Note no. 2 of principal amount of HK$900,000,000 was incurred by the Company as consideration for assignment of the mainland property development business from the CCT Fortis Group to the Related Group in 2013 (the ‘‘2013 Transaction’’), details of which were set out in the circular of the Company dated 14 June 1013.

We noted that both of the 2012 Transaction and the 2013 Transaction constituted, among others, connected transactions of the Company and these transactions were approved by the then independent Shareholders.

We have enquired and are advised by the Directors that the Corporate Guarantees were granted by CCT Fortis in respect of the bank facilities of the Group, which represent trade financing extended by a third party bank lender to two indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of CCT Global. These facilities include mainly short-term trade finance facilities of tenor up to 120 days. Interest is charged at short-term trade financing interest rates. In order to provide further security to the facilities, the bank has requested CCT Fortis to provide the Corporate Guarantees on the basis that the Company was a non-wholly owned subsidiary of CCT Fortis in the material time. The banking facilities together with the Corporate Guarantees have been provided and renewed each year. As further advised by the Directors, despite

– 27 –

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

that CCT Fortis is no longer the holding company of the Company, the bank continues to require the provision of the Corporate Guarantees by CCT Fortis as one of the conditions for the bank to continue to grant the trade finance facilities to the Group due to the facts that the Group remains in a loss position and that CCT Fortis has a stronger financial position than the Company.

Interest rate of the Promissory Notes and the Corporate Guarantees

As illustrated by the table under the sub-section headed ‘‘Details of the Promissory Notes due by the Company to the CCT Fortis Group’’, the Promissory Notes, all of which are maturing in 2016 to 2018, carry annual interest rates of nil to 3.0%.

As advised by the Directors, as the majority amount of the Promissory Notes is interest free and interest accrued on the interest-bearing Promissory Notes is not expected to be substantial, the Secured Obligations will not, therefore, include accrued interests on the Promissory Notes. As such, any accrued interests of the Promissory Notes will be unsecured and will not be covered by the Share Charge or the Guarantee.

As stated in the sub-section headed ‘‘Details of the Corporate Guarantees’’, the Corporate Guarantees are granted by the CCT Fortis for the benefits of the Related Group free of charge. We noted from the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014 that the effective interest rate of Group’s secured bank loans maturing in 2015 ranged from 1.66% to 9.00% while the effective interest rate of Group’s secured bank loans maturing in 2016 and 2017 (‘‘Non-current Bank Loans’’) ranged from 5.25% to 6.15%.

On the basis that the interest rates payable under the Promissory Notes are lower than the interest rates of the Non-current Bank Loans and the Corporate Guarantees were granted by the CCT Fortis Group free of charge, we consider the interest rates of the Promissory Notes and the Corporate Guarantees are favourable to the Company.

(3) Financial effects of the Deed, the Share Charge and the Guarantee

As advised by the Directors, it is not expected that there will be any material financial effect to the Group upon the execution of the Deed, the creation of the Share Charge and the granting of the Guarantee.

LETTER FROM PROTON CAPITAL

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the aforesaid principal factors and on the basis that:

  • (i) the Group has ceased to be accounted for as subsidiaries of CCT Fortis since the Disposal and the Deed can serve as inducement to the CCT Fortis Group for continuing to provide the Financial Assistances to the Group;

  • (ii) save for Promissory Notes no. 1 and 2, the Promissory Notes represent cash advances by CCT Fortis to the Company mainly to finance the principal business of the Group;

  • (iii) both of the 2012 Transaction and the 2013 Transaction were approved by the then independent Shareholders;

  • (iv) the Corporate Guarantees were granted by CCT Fortis at the request of the relevant bank when the Company was a non-wholly owned subsidiary of CCT Fortis in the material time and despite that CCT Fortis is no longer the holding company of the Company, the bank continues to require the provision of the Corporate Guarantees by CCT Fortis as one of the conditions for the bank to continue to grant the trade finance facilities to the Group due to the facts that the Group remains in a loss position and that CCT Fortis has a stronger financial position than the Company;

  • (v) the interest rates payable under the Promissory Notes are lower than the interest rates of the Non-current Bank Loans and the Corporate Guarantees were granted by the CCT Fortis Group free of charge and thus the interest rates and terms of the Promissory Notes and the Corporate Guarantees are favourable to the Company;

  • (vi) although both of the estimated unaudited net asset value of CCT Global and the estimated unaudited consolidated net asset value of CCT Global and its subsidiaries are higher than the aggregate amount of the Financial Assistances, we noted that the aforesaid net asset values have not deducted the liabilities of the Company, representing primarily the Promissory Notes of approximately HK$1,065.7 million, and it is normal for lenders in Hong Kong to have collaterals for secured loans with values that are higher than actual loan amounts; and

  • (vii) it is not expected that there will be any material financial effect to the Group upon the execution of the Deed, the creation of the Share Charge and the granting of the Guarantee.

Name

Qualification

Proton Capital A licensed corporation to carry out type 1 (dealing in securities) and type 6 (advising on corporation finance) regulated activities as defined under the SFO

  • (i) Proton Capital did not have any shareholding, directly or indirectly, in the Company or any member of the Group or any right (whether legally enforceable or not) to subscribe for or to nominate persons to subscribe for securities in the Company or any member of the Group as at the Latest Practicable Date;

5. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As disclosed in the 2014 annual report of the Group, the operating environment of the manufacturing business of telecom, electronic and child products engaged by the Group was difficult and its performance has been adversely affected by the sluggish economic recovery in its major markets, intensifying competition which exerted significant pressure on price reduction, and rising input costs (especially labour wages due to shortage of labour in the Guangdong Province). Furthermore, the significant devaluation of euro has added pressure from the Group’s European customers demanding price reductions. It was also disclosed in the 2014 annual report that the mainland property development business in the PRC engaged by the Group faced difficult operating environment caused mainly by continuing tightened housing policies imposed by the Chinese Central Government and China’s reforms in the financial sector which led to tightened liquidity and credit, coupled with low-price or price-cutting strategies adopted by local developers. As a result, the performance of the mainland property development business was also affected. These unfavourable operating factors continue to affect the Group’s principal business since 31 December 2014. Save for the above, the Directors have confirmed that there has been no material adverse change in the financial or trading position or prospects of the Group since 31 December 2014, being the date to which the latest published audited financial statements of the Group were made up, up to the Latest Practicable Date.
