The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, inter alia, (i) further information regarding the Disposal; (ii) financial and other information of the FEC Group as required under the Listing Rules; (iii) the valuation report in relation to the Property; and (iv) the notice of the FEC EGM.

2. THE DISPOSAL

On 25 May 2012, the Seller, the Purchaser and KHI entered into the Sale and Purchase Agreement, whereby the Seller has agreed to sell, and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase, the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan at the Consideration and KHI has agreed to guarantee the due performance by the Seller of its obligations and responsibilities under the Sale and Purchase Agreement.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the FEC Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, the Purchaser and its ultimate beneficial owner(s) are third parties independent of FEC and the connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules) of FEC.

Assets to be disposed of

Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Seller has agreed to sell, and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase, the Sale Shares, representing the entire issued share capital of the Company, and the Sale Loan, representing the entire amount of the shareholder’s loan owing by the Company to the Seller.

The Company is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability on 16 February 1993. The principal activity of the Company is the development, operation and management of the Hotel located at 18 Davis Street, Hong Kong and the related facilities and the Company is the registered and beneficial owner of the Property.

The audited net liabilities of the Company as at 31 March 2012 were HK$159 million. The net profits of the Company before and after taxation for the year ended 31 March 2012 were HK$8.6 million and the net losses of the Company before and after taxation for the year ended 31 March 2011 were HK$0.4 million.

The Company is currently an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of KHI.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration

The aggregate consideration for the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan is HK$800,000,000, out of which:

  • (a) the consideration for the sale and assignment of the Sale Loan shall be an amount equal to the Sale Loan on a dollar for dollar basis (the “ Loan Consideration ”); and

  • (b) the Consideration less the Loan Consideration shall be the consideration for the purchase of the Sale Shares.

The Consideration shall be satisfied in the following manner:

  • (a) a sum of HK$80,000,000 has been paid by the Purchaser to the Seller upon signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement as deposit; and

After Completion, the amount of current assets and current liabilities of the Company as at the date of Completion shall be audited by the auditors engaged by KHI and reviewed by the auditors engaged by the Purchaser. If such amount of current assets exceed such amount of current liabilities, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the excess thereof. If such amount of current assets are less than such amount of current liabilities, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser the shortfall thereof.

At Completion, a deed of tax indemnity would be entered into by the Seller pursuant to which the Seller shall agree to indemnify the Purchaser in respect of any claim for any liability to Hong Kong taxation against the Company resulting from (i) any transaction of or any income or gain or profit earned, accrued or received by the Company on or before Completion; (ii) any disallowance or refusal of any relief claimed by the Company up to and including the date of Completion; and (iii) the revaluation or gain or appreciation in value of the Property up to the amount of the Consideration on or before the seventh anniversary of the tax assessment year end following the date of Completion.

The aggregate maximum liability of the Seller in respect of all claims under the Sale and Purchase Agreement (including the tax deed) shall not exceed HK$400,000,000 or, where any claim has been made for breach of warranties on title to and ownership of the Sale Shares, the Sale Loan and the Property, not exceed HK$800,000,000.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE DISPOSAL

The KHI Directors consider the Disposal would enable the KHI Group to realize the long term investment return which KHI Group has created for KHI having developed, and since commencement of operations, operated the Hotel at the full market valuation. Moreover, the Disposal would provide additional cash resources for the KHI Group to further broaden the portfolio of KHI by taking advantage of other attractive investment opportunities in Hong Kong and/or overseas. The FEC Directors consider that FEC, as the ultimate holding company of KHI, would in turn benefit from the Disposal.

The FEC Directors concur with the view of the KHI Directors and are of the view that the Sale and Purchase Agreement is on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and the entering into of the Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interests of the FEC Group, the KHI Group, and the respective shareholders of FEC and KHI as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

The KHI Directors estimate that upon Completion, the KHI Group is expected to record a gain from the Disposal of approximately HK$450,000,000, being the difference between the estimated net proceeds from the Disposal of approximately HK$800,000,000 and the book value of the Company of approximately HK$320,000,000 in the accounts of the KHI Group and after deducting all relevant fees and expenses.

The FEC Directors estimate that upon Completion, the FEC Group is expected to record a gain from the Disposal of approximately HK$329,000,000, being the estimated net proceeds from the Disposal of approximately HK$800,000,000 deducting the book value of the Company of approximately HK$320,000,000 in the accounts of the FEC Group and all relevant fees and expenses and the non-controlling shareholders’ interest of the Disposal of approximately HK$121,000,000.

It is expected that upon Completion, the total assets of the KHI Group will be increased by approximately HK$275,000,000 and the total liabilities of the KHI Group will be decreased by approximately HK$175,000,000.

It is expected that upon Completion, the total assets of the FEC Group will be increased by approximately HK$275,000,000 and the total liabilities of the FEC Group will be decreased by approximately HK$175,000,000.

USE OF PROCEEDS

As advised and confirmed by KHI, the KHI Directors expect that the net proceeds from the Disposal will be used as general working capital. As advised and confirmed by KHI, the KHI Directors may consider recommending part of the profit arising from the Disposal to be distributed as dividends to the shareholders of KHI.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

KHI is a non wholly-owned subsidiary of FEC and the Seller is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KHI and a non wholly-owned subsidiary of FEC. As at least one of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal is greater than 25% but less than 75% for FEC, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction of FEC under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Under the Listing Rules, the Disposal is subject to the approval of the shareholders of FEC. To the best of the FEC Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made all reasonable enquiries, no shareholder of FEC has a material interest in the Disposal. Accordingly, no shareholder of FEC would be required to abstain from voting on the resolution(s) to approve the Disposal at the FEC EGM.

Under the Listing Rules, the Disposal (constituting a major transaction of KHI) is also subject to the approval of the shareholders of KHI. As at the Latest Practicable Date, FEC, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ample Bonus Limited, held 1,462,000,000 shares of KHI, representing approximately 73.1% of the issued share capital of KHI. Since none of the shareholders of KHI is required to abstain from voting on the Disposal, written approval by Ample Bonus Limited of the Disposal has been obtained for the purpose of written approval by the shareholders of KHI in lieu of holding shareholders’ meeting pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

FEC EGM

A notice convening the FEC EGM to be held at Xinhua Room, Mezzanine Floor, Cosmopolitan Hotel, 387-397 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong on Friday, 20 July 2012 at 11:00 a.m., for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder is set out on pages N-1 to N-2 of this circular. A form of proxy for use at the FEC EGM is enclosed. Whether or not you intend to attend the meeting, you are requested to complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to FEC’s share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Standard Limited, at 26th Floor, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the FEC EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the FEC EGM or at any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

RECOMMENDATION

The FEC Directors are of the opinion that the Sale and Purchase Agreement is on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable and the Disposal and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of FEC and the shareholders of FEC as a whole. Accordingly, the FEC Directors recommend the shareholders of FEC to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to be proposed at the FEC EGM to approve the Disposal.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FEC GROUP

APPENDIX I

WORKING CAPITAL

In the absence of unforeseen circumstances, the FEC Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the FEC Group’s financial resources, banking facilities presently available and the estimated net proceed from the Disposal, the FEC Group will have sufficient working capital for its business for the next twelve months from the date of this circular.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

The FEC Group is a conglomerate with its core business in property development, hotel investment and operation, car park investment and management and property investment.

The FEC Group launched a number of property development projects for presale in the last financial year.

As at 31 March 2012, the FEC Group recorded cumulative presales of properties under development of approximately 743,000 sq. ft. gross floor area (“GFA”) with a value of approximately HK$4.3 billion from Star Ruby, Hong Kong and Upper West Side, Australia. Together with cumulative presale recorded at KHI with a value of HK$500 million, the FEC Group’s total cumulative presale as at 31 March 2012 came to HK$4.8 billion. Following the financial year end, the FEC Group launched 288 apartments for presale in its California Garden project in Shanghai. Other new residential development projects/phases for launch in the coming 24 months include projects in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Hong Kong and Malaysia. Total GFA of the properties available for sale and presale will amount to approximately 3.5 million sq. ft. during this period. With current presales and anticipated projects in the pipeline, the FEC Group expects financial performance from property development business to be strong in the coming years.

The FEC Group will continue to focus its future projects in the regions where it has an existing presence. The diversified location of its presence allows the FEC Group to take advantage of property cycle in different markets and the effect of cyclical risks can therefore be reduced. Its current development pipeline together with its land bank amounted to approximately 10 million sq. ft. in GFA as at 31 March 2012, which is sufficient for property development in the coming 6 to 7 years. The FEC Group will continue to search for attractive development opportunities to replenish its pipeline going forward.

KHI being a hotel developer, owner and operator has business spreading over Hong Kong, the PRC, Malaysia, Singapore and United Kingdom. During the financial year 2012, KHI continued to achieve a strong growth in both room rates and occupancy rates with average daily revenue per available room at HK$663, representing an increase of 23.9% as compared with last year. Currently, KHI owns/manages 16 hotels of approximately 4,000 rooms. This is expected to increase to more than 7,000 rooms over the next few years. Such increase will continue to drive operating growth.

The recent transaction of the Disposal has again proven the Group’s capability in creating value for shareholders. The FEC Group will continue its strategy to recycle the capital selling smaller hotels and investing in bigger ones with greater number of rooms. With this recently announced disposal,

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE FEC GROUP

together with the FEC Group’s hotel development pipeline and expected contribution from sale of serviced apartments in Singapore (namely Dorsett Regency Residences) and Malaysia (namely Dorsett Place Waterfront, Subang), it is anticipated that KHI will continue its high growth in the coming few years.

The FEC Group’s car parks have continued to grow with revenue reaching HK$537 million for the year ended 31 March 2012, representing an increase of 15.7% as compared with last year. Steady growth in the business has strengthened recurring cashflow stream. As at 31 March 2012, the FEC Group managed more than 250 car parks, consisting a car park management portfolio of approximately 49,000 car park bays. In this portfolio, self owned car parks totaled 20 car parks with approximately 5,600 car park bays. These car parks are located in Australia and Malaysia. During the financial year 2012, approximately 3,000 car parks bays under management were added to the portfolio. With steady increase in the number of car park bays under management, the car park business is expected to continue to contribute to the FEC Group with stable income and cash flow.

Investment properties of the FEC Group mainly comprise retail and office buildings located in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Melbourne, Singapore and Malaysia. These investment properties provide the FEC Group with rental income. On 30 March 2012, the FEC Group announced the sale of an investment property (namely, 51 strata units in Parkway Centre) in Singapore. The sale will provide additional capital for the FEC Group for future expansion. The property investment business will continue to provide the FEC Group with solid cashflow stream.

With total assets of approximately HK$24.1 billion including the valuation surplus on hotel assets amounting to HK$7,750 million which is not recorded in the consolidated financial statements, the net gearing ratio of the FEC Group was 28.8% as at 31 March 2012. The FEC Group believes that it has strong financing capacity for its future developments and to capture new business opportunity that may arise.
