In view of the financial condition of Kata and the recent property market in the PRC, the Deed of Settlement was entered into on 10th October, 2014.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, further details of the Deed of Settlement and the Kata Loan Agreement and a notice of the FC EGM.

DEED OF SETTLEMENT

Date

10th October, 2014

Parties

Full Choice, a subsidiary of the Company and the vendor in the FC Agreement, ACE Result, a subsidiary of the Company and the vendor in the AH Agreement, Kata, the purchaser in the FC Agreement and the AH Agreement and Mr. Ou Qijin, the Guarantor to Kata in the FC Agreement and the AH Agreement.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, based on the information and confirmation provided by the Guarantor and to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, save for the entering into of the FC Agreement and AH Agreement, both of which have not been completed, and the Deed of Settlement and the Kata Loan Agreement, Kata and its ultimate beneficial owner being the Guarantor, who is a natural person, are independent third parties of the Company and its connected persons.

Major terms of the Deed of Settlement

Pursuant to the Deed of Settlement, subject to fulfilment of conditions precedent as set out below, the parties have agreed, among other things, that:

  • (i) the AH Amount, being a sum of RMB490,493,548.39 (equivalent to approximately HK$620,878,000 comprising a sum of RMB479,993,548.39 (equivalent to approximately HK$607,587,000) paid by Kata to ACE Result under the AH Agreement and a loan advanced by Kata to Shanghai Sheshan in the amount of RMB10,500,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$13,291,000), shall be transferred and assigned to Full Choice as settlement of part of the consideration and interest payable under the FC Agreement and such amount shall be deemed to be paid as part of the consideration and interest under the FC Agreement on the date on which such amount was paid by Kata under the AH Agreement;

It was agreed in the Deed of Settlement that the transactions contemplated under the Deed of Settlement (including but not limited to completion of the FC Disposal and the termination of the AH Agreement) shall be completed within seven business days after the conditions precedent as set out in the Deed of Settlement have been fulfilled, failing which, the Deed of Settlement shall be void and have no further effect, upon which the FC Agreement and the AH Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In addition, Full Choice has agreed to advance shareholder’s loan of not more than RMB200,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$253,165,000) to the Target Group at the floating rate of 140% of the Benchmark Loan Rate published by The People’s Bank of China according to the needs of the development projects of the Target Group and which shall be repayable within three years after the signing of the Deed of Settlement. Upon Completion, the Group will retain 50% interest in the Target Company while 50% interest will be held by Kata, the Target Company will cease to be a subsidiary of the Group and will become a joint venture of the Group and Kata.

Conditions Precedent

The Deed of Settlement shall be effective upon fulfilment of the following conditions precedent:

  1. the Shareholders passing at the FC EGM the relevant resolution(s) approving the Deed of Settlement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and

  2. all necessary consents and approvals in relation to the Deed of Settlement having been obtained by Full Choice and ACE Result.

If any of the above conditions has not been fulfilled on or before 31st January, 2015, the Deed of Settlement shall be void and have no further effect, upon which the FC Agreement and the AH Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and each of Full Choice and ACE Result shall be entitled to forfeit a sum of RMB100,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$126,582,000) and the interest paid and payable by Kata pursuant to the terms of the FC Agreement and the AH Agreement respectively as liquidated damages and the excess to such amount paid by Kata shall be refunded to Kata.

Save and except the aforesaid amendments, all other provisions of the FC Agreement remain in full force and effect and the legal title of the Sale Share and the Loan will be transferred to Kata only at Completion with the consideration and interest payable pursuant to the FC Agreement (as amended and supplemented by the Deed of Settlement) fully settled.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO OF THE DEED OF SETTLEMENT

To the best knowledge, belief of and information available to the Directors, the Guarantor is an investor in certain property development projects and has relevant experience and interests in a number of property development projects in the PRC, mainly in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, which is where the property interests of the Target Group are located. In deciding to proceed with the FC Disposal instead of the AH Disposal, the Directors have taken into consideration such experience and interests of the Guarantor, which would be more relevant to the property development project of the Target Group. Given the Guarantor’s years of experience in property development and his relevant interests held within such development projects, the Directors consider Kata’s and the Guarantor’s participation in the property development project of the Target Group would be beneficial to the Company through the joint control and management of the Target Group.

The Directors noted that there have been downward adjustments of property prices in most cities of the PRC in the first half of 2014. While some local governments have relaxed the policy of restricting the number of homes that can be purchased in order to support the property market, the monetary policy was still tight in the first half of 2014. The Directors believe the property market sentiment in the PRC in the short term remains negative. As a property developer in the PRC, the financial condition of Kata and/or the Guarantor are/is adversely affected by the condition of the PRC property market.

In view of the financial condition of Kata and/or the Guarantor and taking into account the recent property market in the PRC, the Board is of the opinion that the entering into of the Deed of Settlement is more beneficial to the Company than terminating the AH Agreement and the FC Agreement at the same time, as Full Choice and ACE Result will have to refund the excess amount paid by Kata after forfeiture pursuant to the terms of the FC Agreement and the AH Agreement respectively.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, construction of a new phase of the development of low rise apartments on the parcels of land of the Target Group has begun and is expected to be completed by 2015. Given the large scale, the property development project will be divided into different phases and evaluated on an ongoing basis. As such, it would be impractical to give an estimation of costs at such early stage but it is expected that the project will be financed by way of loans from banks and internal resources.

Based on the above, the Directors believe that the terms of the Deed of Settlement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders taken as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 10th October, 2014, the Lender, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as lender, entered into the Kata Loan Agreement with Kata as borrower and the Guarantor as guarantor to Kata, pursuant to which the Lender agreed to, among other things, make available to Kata the Kata Loan for the purpose of funding Kata’s general working capital and/or investment.

Principal terms of the Kata Loan Agreement

The principal terms of the Kata Loan Agreement are as follows:

Loan amount: HK$450,000,000 (or an amount equivalent to HK$450,000,000 in such alternative currency as acceptable to and agreed by the Lender) Repayment date: 31st December, 2018 or such other date as agreed in writing between the Lender and Kata; Kata shall also be entitled to make early repayment by giving at least seven business days’ prior written notice to the Lender Purpose: the Kata Loan shall be applied and used by Kata for its general working capital and/or investment Interest rate: 12% per annum, payable on maturity Securities for the Kata Loan: the Debenture (Kata), the Share Mortgage (Target Company) and the Share Mortgage (Kata)

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Guarantee

The Guarantor has agreed to guarantee the full and proper performance of the obligations of Kata and himself under the Finance Documents.

Debenture (Kata)

Pursuant to the Debenture (Kata), Kata as the chargor shall charge by way of first fixed and floating charge to the Lender as the chargee over all its undertaking, property and assets of whatsoever nature, and wheresoever, both present and future as security for the due payment obligations by Kata and the Guarantor under the Finance Documents. The Debenture (Kata) shall become immediately enforceable upon the occurrence of an event of default as set out in the Debenture (Kata).

Share Mortgage (Target Company)

Pursuant to the Share Mortgage (Target Company), Kata as the mortgagor shall mortgage, charge and assign by way of first fixed mortgage to the Lender as the mortgagee all the rights, title and interest, present and future, of Kata, in and to the shares of the Target Company issued to or owned by Kata as a continuing security for the due and punctual payment obligations and other performance of all the obligations of Kata under the Kata Loan Agreement. If there occurs an event of default as set out in the Share Mortgage (Target Company), the Lender shall have the rights to, among other things, sell or dispose of or deliver the subject shares of the Target Company pursuant to the terms of the Share Mortgage (Target Company).

Share Mortgage (Kata)

Pursuant to the Share Mortgage (Kata), the Guarantor as the mortgagor shall mortgage, charge and assign by way of first fixed mortgage to the Lender as the mortgagee all the rights, title and interest, present and future, of the Guarantor, in and to the shares of Kata issued to or owned by the Guarantor as a continuing security for the due and punctual payment obligations and other performance of all the obligations of Kata under the Kata Loan Agreement. If there occurs an event of default as set out in the Share Mortgage (Kata), the Lender shall have the rights to, among other things, sell or dispose of or deliver the subject shares of Kata pursuant to the terms of the Share Mortgage (Kata).

Given that Kata shall deliver mortgage on the shares of the Target Company issued to or owned by it as well as a debenture charging over all its undertaking, property and assets, which cover the Sale Share and the Loan to be acquired by it at the consideration of RMB1,050,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,329,114,000) upon completion of the FC Agreement, the value of the assets subject to security well exceeds the Kata Loan of HK$450,000,000 and the interest accrued thereunder. As such, the Board considers that the securities are sufficient to cover the Kata Loan and the interest accrued thereunder.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Kata has delivered Debenture (Kata) and Share Mortgage (Kata) to the Lender.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO OF THE KATA LOAN AGREEMENT

As advised and confirmed by the Lender, the terms of the Kata Loan Agreement were arrived at after arm’s length negotiations among the Lender, Kata and the Guarantor. The Kata Loan Agreement was entered into by the Lender having regard to (i) the costs of borrowing in providing the Kata Loan to Kata by reference to the range of effective interest rates of 5% to 10% per annum on the Group’s fixed rate borrowings during 2013; (ii) the interest income to be generated by the Kata Loan Agreement; (iii) the underlying securities; and (iv) the interest rates for loans which are comparable to the Kata Loan as available in the financial market such as from banks, that is the prime rate of 5% per annum, as compared to the deposit interest rate for the Group’s depositing the money in similar amount as the Kata Loan in the bank for interest income, that is deposit rates in the range of 1% to 2% per annum.

The Directors believe that the terms of the Kata Loan Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders taken as a whole.
