Dear Sir or Madam,

CONNECTED AND DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION

ACQUISITION OF 100% EQUITY INTEREST IN SHANGHAI INVESTMENT CO., LTD. BY SHANGHAI INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

1. INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 28 April 2015 and 15 May 2015 in relation to the Shanghai Investment Acquisition.

On 28 April 2015, SI Development and SIIC Shanghai entered into the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement, pursuant to which SIIC Shanghai agreed to sell, and SI Development agreed to purchase, the Target Equity Interest for an initially determined consideration of RMB3,400,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,248,938,000).

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 15 May 2015, SI Development and SIIC Shanghai entered into the Supplemental Agreement to, among other things, amend certain terms of the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement. Under the Supplemental Agreement, the final consideration for the Target Equity Interest is RMB3,432,702,989.61 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,289,806,000).

On the same day, SI Development and SIIC Shanghai also entered into the Shanghai Investment Performance Compensation Agreement by way of a supplemental agreement to the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement, pursuant to which SIIC Shanghai agreed to pay (i) a performance compensation to SI Development in the event that the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is completed and the sum of Shanghai Investment’s actual net profits attributable to shareholders (excluding income sourced outside the ordinary and usual course of business) for the years 2015 to 2017 falls short of the agreed performance target; and (ii) an additional devaluation compensation if the amount of performance compensation received by SI Development is less than the decrease in the net asset value of Shanghai Investment as at the end of 2017 from the net asset value as at 31 March 2015 (as appraised by a PRC independent valuer).

On 15 May 2015, SI Development and SIIC Shanghai entered into the Supplemental Agreement to, among other things, clarify certain terms of the Shanghai Investment Performance Compensation Agreement. Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, SI Development and SIIC Shanghai confirmed that: (i) the agreed performance target is RMB731,248,600 (equivalent to approximately HK$913,832,000); and (ii) the performance compensation shall not exceed the final consideration for the Target Equity Interest, which is RMB3,432,702,989.61 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,289,806,000).

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition exceed 5% but none of them exceeds 25%, the Shanghai Investment Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company, and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

SIIC beneficially owns approximately 57.68% of the Company’s issued shares and therefore SIIC is a connected person of the Company. SIIC exercises the authority as a state-owned shareholder of SIIC Shanghai, which is a state-owned enterprise. Therefore, SIIC Shanghai is an associate of SIIC and a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Shanghai Investment Acquisition also constitutes a connected transaction for the Company, and is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other matters:

  • (i) further information on the Shanghai Investment Acquisition and the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement;

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) the letter from the Independent Board Committee setting out its recommendation to the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition and the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement;

  • (iii) the letter from BNP Paribas setting out its advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition and the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement;

  • (iv) the letter, summary of valuations and valuation certificates received from DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited in connection with its opinion of market values of the Properties; and

  • (v) the notice of the EGM at which an ordinary resolution will be proposed to approve the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

2. THE SHANGHAI INVESTMENT EQUITY INTEREST TRANSFER AGREEMENT

Date

28 April 2015

Parties

Seller: SIIC Shanghai Purchaser: SI Development

(See the section headed “3. Information on the Group” of this letter for information on SI Development and the section headed “4. Information on SIIC Shanghai” of this letter for information on SIIC Shanghai.)

Subject matter

Pursuant to the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement, SIIC Shanghai agrees to sell, and SI Development agrees to purchase, the Target Equity Interest.

(See the section headed “6. Information on the Target Group” of this letter for information on Shanghai Investment and its subsidiaries.)

Consideration

The consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is RMB3,432,702,989.61 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,289,806,000).

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The consideration was initially determined at and provided in the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement to be RMB3,400,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,248,938,000) following arm’s length negotiations between SI Development and SIIC Shanghai and with reference to the preliminary appraisal of the Independent Valuer on the value of the Target Equity Interest as at 31 March 2015, and is subject to the final confirmation of SASAC. It was contemplated in the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement that a supplemental agreement will be signed between SI Development and SIIC Shanghai to confirm the final consideration.

Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, SI Development and SIIC Shanghai confirmed that the final consideration for the Target Equity Interest is RMB3,432,702,989.61 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,289,806,000), which is the final fair value estimate of the Target Equity Interest appraised by the Independent Valuer and was confirmed by SASAC. The consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition will not be subject to any adjustment irrespective of the final appraised value of the Properties as determined by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited in Appendix I to this circular. The final appraised value of the Properties attributable to the Target Group as at 31 March 2015 as determined by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited and as detailed in Appendix I to this circular is approximately RMB6,558,749,740 (equivalent to approximately HK$8,196,388,000). Please refer to “Appendix I – Valuation Report” in this circular for the letter, summary of valuations and valuation certificates received from DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited.

The original cost incurred by SIIC Shanghai for the acquisition of the Target Equity Interest in Shanghai Investment from Shanghai International Group Co., Ltd. in 2014 was RMB3,353,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,190,202,000). Shanghai International Group Co., Ltd. is a third party independent of the Company, SIIC and their associates.

The consideration shall be payable by SI Development to SIIC Shanghai in cash in the following manner:

  • (i) 30% of the consideration shall be paid within five working days after the satisfaction of all the conditions precedent as set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions Precedent” below (to be first satisfied by the internal resources of SI Development which will then be replenished by an equivalent amount from the proceeds from the SI Development Share Issuance after its completion); and

  • (ii) the remaining 70% of the consideration shall be paid within ten days of completion of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition.

SI Development will apply part of the proceeds from the SI Development Share Issuance to pay the portion of the consideration for the Target Equity Interest amounting to RMB3,400,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,248,938,000). SI

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Development will satisfy the remaining portion of the consideration, which is RMB32,702,989.61 (equivalent to approximately HK$40,869,000), with its own internal resources.

Valuation of Shanghai Investment, Shanghai Hui Tong, Shanghai Sheng Qing, Shanghai SIC, Shaoxing SIC, Suzhou SIC and Tianjin SIC

The Independent Valuer has relied primarily on the asset-based approach to determine the final fair value estimate of 100% equity interest in each of Shanghai Investment, Shanghai Hui Tong, Shanghai Sheng Qing, Shanghai SIC, Shaoxing SIC, Suzhou SIC and Tianjin SIC. Since the principal assets of these companies are real properties, the asset-based approach was adopted because it emphasizes the market value of assets and can better reflect the asset value of these companies.

Valuation of Shanghai New Century

The Independent Valuer has relied primarily on the discounted cash flow methodology to determine the final fair value estimate of the valuation of 100% equity interest in Shanghai New Century. Since Shanghai New Century is a property management company with relatively fewer fixed assets, the discounted cash flow methodology was adopted because it takes into account the unspecified intangible assets and their contribution to Shanghai New Century. Such valuation constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules.

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, acting as the Company’s auditor, has examined the calculations of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which the valuation of Shanghai New Century was based. The Directors confirmed that the valuation of Shanghai New Century has been made after due and careful enquiry. A report from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu dated 15 May 2015 and a letter from the Board in compliance with Rule 14.62(3) of the Listing Rules are included in Appendix II and Appendix III to this circular, respectively.

The principal assumptions, including commercial assumptions, upon which the valuation of Shanghai New Century was based are as follows:

  • there is an open market for the shares in Shanghai New Century;

  • the assets of Shanghai New Century are and, based on the relevant data and information, will continue to be in operation;

  • Shanghai New Century, based on its existing assets and resources, will continue to operate legally and will not cease to operate in the foreseeable future because of whatever reason;

  • the Valuation Report does not take into consideration, unless otherwise stated, any unusual factors which will affect the valuation such as existing or future pledges or guarantees provided by Shanghai New Century;

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • there will not be any material changes in the existing laws, policies or macroeconomics of the PRC, or the political, economical or social environment of the regions in which Shanghai New Century is situated;

  • there will not be any material changes in the tax rate applicable to Shanghai New Century and the credit policy, interest rates and exchange rates are largely stable;

  • the Valuation Report represents a valuation of the market value of Shanghai New Century based on the valuation standards and system as at the date of valuation;

  • the business contracts, business licences, articles of association, executed agreements, audited reports, financial information and other information provided by Shanghai New Century are true and valid;

  • the existing and future management team of Shanghai New Century is and will be diligent, will not commit any material breaches which will affect the development and revenue of Shanghai New Century, and will continue to operate Shanghai New Century on the existing management model;

  • the contracts entered into by Shanghai New Century are valid and enforceable;

  • the valuation is a reasonable estimate of the future based on the current market conditions and does not take into account the unforeseeable material changes and fluctuations in the future market, such as political riot, economic turmoil and adverse inflation; and

  • the various revenues, relevant prices and costs relied on in the valuation are based on the historical data provided by Shanghai New Century.

Conditions Precedent

Completion of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is conditional on the satisfaction of certain conditions, including:

  • (i) approval from the board of directors of SI Development in respect of the SI Development Share Issuance;

  • (ii) approval from the shareholders of SI Development in respect of the SI Development Share Issuance;

  • (iii) all the required approvals of the SI Development Share Issuance have been granted by the relevant PRC approval authorities; and

  • (iv) approval of the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Completion

Completion shall take place when registration of the transfer of the Target Equity Interest with the relevant PRC approval authorities has been completed which, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent, is expected to take place within 2015.

Performance and Devaluation Compensation

SI Development and SIIC Shanghai also entered into the Shanghai Investment Performance Compensation Agreement on 28 April 2015 by way of a supplemental agreement to the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement.

Pursuant to the Shanghai Investment Performance Compensation Agreement, upon the occurrence of all of the following:

  • (i) the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is completed; and

  • (ii) Shanghai Investment fails to achieve the agreed performance target, which is the sum of the target net profits attributable to shareholders (excluding income sourced outside the ordinary and usual course of business) of Shanghai Investment for the years 2015 to 2017,

SIIC Shanghai shall pay a performance compensation to SI Development in cash, which shall be calculated as follows:

Performance compensation amount = the aggregate target net profits attributable to shareholders (excluding income sourced outside the ordinary and usual course of business) of Shanghai Investment for the years 2015 to 2017 – the aggregate actual net profits attributable to shareholders (excluding income sourced outside the ordinary and usual course of business) of Shanghai Investment for the years 2015 to 2017.

Under the Supplemental Agreement, SI Development and SIIC Shanghai confirmed that, based on the final valuation report on the fair value estimate of the Target Equity Interest appraised by the Independent Valuer, the agreed performance target (which is the sum of the target net profits attributable to shareholders (excluding income sourced outside the ordinary and usual course of business) of Shanghai Investment for the years 2015 to 2017) is RMB731,248,600 (equivalent to approximately HK$913,832,000). It was determined following arm’s length negotiations between SI Development and SIIC Shanghai and with reference to, among other things, the assets, operations and financial information of Shanghai Investment, the macroeconomics of the PRC market and the development and trends within the PRC property industry (which were amongst the factors taken into account in the final valuation report of the Independent Valuer). As disclosed under the section headed “6. Information on the Target Group – Financial Information of the Target Group”, the audited net profit after taxation and extraordinary items attributable to shareholders of the Target Group in 2013 and the audited net profit after taxation and extraordinary items attributable to shareholders of the Target Group in 2014 were RMB170,306,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$212,829,000) and RMB308,627,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$385,687,000) respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Please see the section headed “6. Information on the Target Group – Financial information of the Target Group” for an explanation of the significant increase in the net profit of the Target Group in 2014.

SI Development and SIIC Shanghai also confirmed in the Supplemental Agreement that the performance compensation shall not exceed the final consideration for the Target Equity Interest, which is RMB3,432,702,989.61 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,289,806,000).

In addition, if the amount of performance compensation received by SI Development is less than the decrease in the net asset value of Shanghai Investment as at the end of 2017 from the net asset value as at 31 March 2015 (as appraised by a PRC independent valuer), SIIC Shanghai shall pay an additional devaluation compensation to SI Development in cash, which shall be calculated as follows:

Devaluation compensation amount = the decrease in the net asset value of Shanghai Investment as at the end of 2017 from the net asset value as at 31 March 2015 – the performance compensation amount received by SI Development.

The actual net profits attributable to shareholders (excluding income sourced outside the ordinary and usual course of business) for the years 2015 to 2017 and the devaluation compensation amount will be audited by an accountant (with licence in carrying out securities business in the PRC) acceptable to SI Development. Any performance compensation or devaluation compensation will be payable by SIIC Shanghai to SI Development within three months after the date of the auditor’s report.

If the obligations for SIIC Shanghai to pay the performance compensation and, if applicable, the devaluation compensation to SI Development under the Shanghai Investment Performance Compensation Agreement are triggered, the Company will disclose in an announcement and in its next annual report the matters as required under the Listing Rules.

7. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SHANGHAI INVESTMENT ACQUISITION

The Shanghai Investment Acquisition will strengthen SI Development’s resources in premium real estate and assist in the further expansion and enhancement of SI Development’s real estate business, lead to the rapid expansion of the real estate business, and increase SI Development’s overall competitiveness.

The Directors believe that the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group for the following reasons:

  • (i) Construction of most of the Properties have been completed, with the remaining construction expected to be completed in 2015 and 2016 respectively (including the Shanghai Hui Tong Property which is scheduled to be completed in Decebmer 2015, the Suzhou SIC Property which is scheduled to be completed in 2016 and the Shaoxing SIC Property which is scheduled to be completed in phases from September 2015 to June 2016). The Directors believe that the Properties would provide assured and sustainable return to the Group.

  • (ii) According to the audited consolidated accounts of the Target Group for the three months ended 31 March 2015, the cash and cash equivalents of the Target Group as at 31 March 2015 amounted to approximately RMB1,571.5 million. Also, receivables from SIIC Shanghai amounted to approximately RMB800.0 million. The Directors believe that no further financings will be required for the remaining projects which are still under development.

  • (iii) The Properties are located in Shanghai, Suzhou, Shaoxing and Tianjin and, in particular, the Shanghai SIC Property and the Shanghai Hui Tong Property are located in prime areas of Shanghai, which will further strengthen the quality of the landbank of SI Development.

– 21 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (iv) The financing of the consideration payable for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition has been assured, the bulk of which will be funded out of the gross proceeds of the SI Development Share Issuance, which are expected to amount to not more than RMB5,860.7 million.

  • (v) The Shanghai Investment Acquisition can further reduce the extent to which the remaining real estate business of SIIC (the controlling shareholder of the Company and the ultimate controlling shareholder of SI Development), following completion of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition, competes with the real estate business of the Group (including the SI Development Group).

In considering whether the consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition as agreed between SI Development and SIIC Shanghai is fair and reasonable, the Directors have also taken into consideration the appraisal value of the Properties as determined by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung Limited as set out in Appendix I to this circular, and did not consider the final valuation report of the Independent Valuer on the fair value estimate of 100% equity interest in Shanghai Investment, which report was the basis of the consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition determined between SI Development and SIIC Shanghai (as disclosed under the section headed “2. The Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement – Consideration”).

In view of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors, who have taken into account the advice of BNP Paribas) are of the view that the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement was entered into on normal commercial terms in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and that the terms of the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

8. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition exceed 5% but none of them exceeds 25%, the Shanghai Investment Acquisition constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company, and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

SIIC beneficially owns approximately 57.68% of the Company’s issued shares and therefore SIIC is a connected person of the Company. SIIC exercises the authority as a state-owned shareholder of SIIC Shanghai, which is a state-owned enterprise. Therefore, SIIC Shanghai is an associate of SIIC and a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Shanghai Investment Acquisition also constitutes a connected transaction for the Company, and is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The Independent Board Committee has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders as to the Shanghai Investment Acquisition and the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement, BNP Paribas has been appointed as the

None of the Directors has a material interest in the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder, nor is he required to abstain from voting in the relevant board resolutions approving the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement.

As SIIC has a material interest in the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder by reason of it being the state-owned shareholder of SIIC Shanghai, SIIC and its associates shall abstain from voting on the resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement.

The consideration shall be payable by Shanghai Asset to SI Development in cash.

SIIC beneficially owns approximately 57.68% of the Company’s issued shares and therefore SIIC is a connected person of the Company. SIIC exercises the authority as a state-owned shareholder of SIIC Shanghai, which is a state-owned enterprise. Therefore, SIIC Shanghai is an associate of SIIC and a connected person of the Company. Accordingly, the Shanghai Investment Acquisition constitutes a connected transaction for the Company, and is subject to the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The First SI Development Share Issuance also constitutes a connected transaction for the Company, and is subject to the reporting and announcement but exempt from the independent shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The Independent Board Committee has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition. The Shanghai Investment Acquisition is conditional upon, inter alia, approval of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. Any vote of the Independent Shareholders at the EGM shall be taken by poll.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, BNP Paribas Group provided certain banking facilities to certain group companies of the Group and SIIC.

We do not consider these shareholding interests and banking relationship would affect the objectivity of our advice, given the fact that (i) the interests so held by BNP Paribas in the Company are immaterial and are no different from that of the Independent Shareholders; (ii) the respective interests so held by BNP Paribas in SI Urban Development and SIIC Environmental are, in each case, immaterial; and (iii) the banking facilities provided by BNP

Paribas Group to them are immaterial to its total assets. Accordingly, we consider ourselves suitable to give independent financial advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In preparing this letter and in giving any opinion or advice, we have only had regard to the Shanghai Investment Acquisition in isolation, and not in connection with any business plan or strategy, past, present or future with regard to the Company or the Group as a whole, nor have we viewed the Shanghai Investment Acquisition as part of a series of other transactions or arrangements. We express no opinion as to whether the Shanghai Investment Acquisition will be completed nor whether it will be successful.

In arriving at our advice, we have also relied on the statements, information and facts supplied, the opinions expressed and the representations made by the Directors and management of the Company and the Company’s advisers and assumed that all statements, opinions, assumptions, and representations made, for which the Company and the Directors are solely and wholly responsible, were true, complete, accurate and not misleading at the time they are made and continue to be so in all material respects up to and as at the Latest Practicable Date and that they might be relied upon.

We have been advised by the Directors that, to the best of their information, knowledge and beliefs, after making reasonable enquiries, all material information, facts, representations and opinions that are necessary for the purposes of BNP Paribas to carry out the work have been provided. We have no reason to believe that any material information has been omitted, or to doubt the truth or accuracy or completeness of the information provided. We have also sought and received confirmation from the Directors that representations and opinions expressed in the information given have been provided after due and careful consideration and formulated on reasonable bases and assumptions.

We have reviewed, inter alia, the information prepared by the Company in relation to the Shanghai Investment Acquisition and the source of other information used in this letter. We have also assumed that all statements made by the Company’s management or the Directors, as set forth in the Circular, would be implemented and that all of the expectations of the Directors could be met. We have also relied on assumptions described in the Circular and certain information available to the public (such as the relevant published documents of the Company and its subsidiaries) and we assume such information were accurate and reliable. We have reviewed, inter alia, the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement, the Shanghai Investment Performance Compensation Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement and have assumed that these agreements were enforceable against each of the parties thereto in accordance with its terms and that each of the parties would perform and would be able to perform their respective obligations thereunder, and as otherwise described in the Circular, in full when due. We consider that we have received and reviewed sufficient information to enable us to form a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have further assumed that all government, regulatory or other consents and approvals necessary for the effectiveness and implementation of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition had been or would be obtained without any adverse effect on the contemplated benefits to the Company. We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of such information, nor have

we conducted an independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Target Group or of any underlying assets, nor have we conducted any valuation or appraisal of any assets or liabilities, nor have we conducted any form of investigation into the commercial viability of the future prospects of the Target Group or of any underlying assets or the financial conditions or future prospects of any of the other parties.

Our opinion is necessarily based upon the market, economic and other conditions as they existed and could be evaluated on, and the information publicly available to us as of the Latest Practicable Date. We have no obligation to update this opinion to take into account events occurring after this opinion is delivered to the Independent Board Committee. It should be understood that subsequent developments or changes could occur that, if known at the time we rendered our opinion, could have affected or altered our opinion. We assume no responsibility or liability under such circumstances.

PRINCIPAL REASONS AND FACTORS CONSIDERED

In formulating our view, we have taken into consideration the principal reasons and factors set out below. In reaching our conclusions, we have considered the results of the analyses in light of each other and ultimately reached an opinion based on the results of all analyses taken as a whole.

1. Information on the Group

Business activities and financial information

The Group is principally engaged in the businesses of infrastructure facilities, real estate and consumer products. As stated in the Company’s 2014 annual report, for the year ended 31 December 2014, revenue of the Group amounted to approximately HK$19,967.1 million, representing a year-on-year decrease of 7.4%, mainly due to the fact that the property sales booked by SI Urban Development decreased by approximately HK$2,000.0 million as compared with last year. However, the decrease was partially offset by the increase in the revenues from infrastructure facilities and consumer products businesses. For the year ended 31 December 2014, the Group recorded an audited profit attributable to owners of the Company of HK$3,069.0 million, representing a 13.6% increase over the previous year. Profits included considerable gains arising from the disposal of lot E of the Qingpu District in Shanghai during the year. The results of the Group’s different business sectors have made steady growth and their respective targets established for the year have been realised.

3. Valuation of the properties interests of the Target Group by DTZ

The property interests of the Target Group as at 31 March 2015 have been valued by DTZ, an independent and duly qualified Hong Kong property valuer. The full text of a letter from DTZ together with a summary of valuations and valuation certificates (the “ DTZ Valuation Report ”) are set out in Appendix I to the Circular.

We have interviewed DTZ regarding its expertise and understand that DTZ is an established independent property valuer with a large number of completed assignments acting for listed companies with property interests in, among others, Hong Kong and the PRC. We also understand that the valuer-in-charge for this assignment has over 22 years’ post qualification experience in the valuation of properties in the PRC.

We have reviewed the DTZ Valuation Report. We have discussed with DTZ regarding the methodologies and assumptions adopted in valuing the property interests of the Target Group as at 31 March 2015. We note that in performing the property valuation, DTZ has adopted the following valuation methodologies:

  • in valuing the properties, which are held by the Target Group for future development in the PRC, DTZ has adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market;

  • in valuing the properties, which are held by the Target Group for sale in the PRC, DTZ has adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market; and

  • in valuing the properties, which are held by the Target Group under development in the PRC, DTZ has adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market, or where appropriate, DTZ has also taken into account the expended construction costs.

Further, DTZ has complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Listing Rules and The HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition published by the Hong Kong Institutes of Surveyors. We also note that DTZ has inspected the exterior of the properties in April 2015.

We have also discussed with DTZ on the rationale of adopting the relevant valuation methodologies for valuing the properties held by the Target Group. According to DTZ, the direct comparison approach is the most appropriate valuation method for assessing the market value of the properties as the majority of these properties are residential and commercial properties with transparent and readily available market price information. According to DTZ, in arriving at the appraised value for the properties using the direct comparison approach, DTZ generally analyses the recent transactions comparable to the subject properties in terms of, among others, location, age, size and building quality.

– 38 –

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

We further note that in performing the valuation for the properties attributable to the Target Company, DTZ has adopted the following assumptions:

  • its aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period; and

  • the areas shown on the copies of documents handed to them are correct.

According to DTZ, the above assumptions are standard assumptions and common in practice in the industry.

Taking into account the above matters and our understanding of the particulars of the property interests of the Target Group, we consider that the valuation methodologies adopted by DTZ in valuing the property interests of the Target Company as at 31 March 2015 are appropriate and the assumptions adopted by DTZ are in line with market practice and reasonable for the purpose of the property valuation.

4. Reasons for and benefits of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition

As stated in the Letter from the Board in the Circular, it is considered that the Shanghai Investment Acquisition will strengthen SI Development’s resources in premium real estate and assist in the further expansion and enhancement of SI Development’s real estate business, lead to the rapid expansion of its real estate business, and increase SI Development’s overall competitiveness. Further, the Directors believe that the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group for the following reasons:

  • (a) Construction of most of the properties held by the Target Group have been completed, with the remaining construction expected to be completed in 2015 and 2016 respectively (including the Shanghai Hui Tong Property which is scheduled to be completed in December 2015, the Suzhou SIC Property which is scheduled to be completed in 2016 and the Shaoxing SIC Property which is scheduled to be completed in phases from September 2015 to June 2016). The Directors believe that the properties held by the Target Group would provide assured and sustainable return to the Group.

  • (b) According to the audited consolidated accounts of the Target Group for the three months ended 31 March 2015, the cash and cash equivalents of the Target Group as at 31 March 2015 amounted to approximately RMB1,571.5 million. As advised by the Company, receivables from SIIC Shanghai amounted to approximately RMB800.0 million. The Directors believe that no further financings will be required for the remaining projects which are still under development.

  • (c) The properties held by the Target Group are located in Shanghai, Suzhou, Shaoxing and Tianjin, in particular, the Shanghai SIC Property and the Shanghai Hui Tong Property are located in prime areas of Shanghai, which will further strengthen the quality of the landbank of SI Development.

– 39 –

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

  • (d) The financing of the consideration payable for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition has been assured, the bulk of which will be funded out of the gross proceeds of the SI Development Share Issuance, which are expected to amount to not more than RMB5,860.7 million.

  • (e) The Shanghai Investment Acquisition can further reduce the extent to which the remaining real estate business of SIIC (the controlling shareholder of the Company and the ultimate controlling shareholder of SI Development), following completion of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition, competes with the real estate business of the Group (including the SI Development Group).

Taking into account the above reasons and factors, and the fact that the Shanghai Investment Acquisition will add 238,524.16 square metres of completed GFA and 287,736.32 square metres of planned GFA to the Group upon completion of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition, there is no reason for us to doubt the commercial rationale of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition.

5. Industry overview

Since the economic reform in 1978, China’s economy has been growing rapidly. In recent years, despite the impact of the volatile global economic environment on the PRC economy, China has been able to maintain stable growth. Between 2010 and 2014, China’s nominal GDP increased from RMB40,890 billion in 2010 to RMB63,646 billion in 2014, representing a CAGR of approximately 11.7%. After joining the World Trade Organization in 2011, China has further accelerated its opening-up to overseas capital with the utilised foreign investment increasing from USD109 billion in 2010 to USD119 billion in 2013.

Driven by the rapid economic growth, China’s property market has also experienced significant development in recent years. From 2007 to 2014, the real estate investment has increased to RMB9,504 billion in 2014 from RMB2,529 billion in 2007, representing a CAGR of 20.8%.

Due to global financial crisis, the development of property market slowed down in 2008 with less GFA of commodity properties sold and lower average price of commodity properties. However, the market rebounded quickly and significant in 2009 with the recovery of China’s economy in 2009. GFA of commodity properties sold increased by 43% to a record high of 948 million square metres 2009. Average selling price of commodity properties climbed up to RMB4,681 per square metre in 2009. The growth in the property market has become more moderate from 2010 to 2014, in response to the change of policy environment after the PRC government issued a number of real estate-related austerity measures. The total GFA of commodity properties sold increased from 1,048 million square metres in 2010 to 1,206 million square metres in 2014, representing a CAGR of 3.6%.

In 2014, China’s property market experienced prices and sales volume slump which caused property investment growth to decrease to 10.5% in 2014, a much slower rate compared to 19.8% in 2013. The downturn has prompted the Chinese Government to

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

loosen regulations on the property market. In Premier Li Keqiang’s government working report during the annual National People’s Congress held in March 2015, it stressed that China will stabilise its property market this year, with tailored, market-based policies to guide a “stable and healthy development”. Policy easing combined with the forces of urbanisation and demand for improved living conditions in China are expected to provide the support for China’s property market in the future.

In addition, given that the properties of Shanghai Investment are located in Shanghai, Tianjin, Suzhou and Shaoxing, we have independently researched on certain key background information and the latest available statistics in relation to Shanghai, Tianjin, Suzhou and Shaoxing:

6. Principal terms and conditions of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition

(a) Consideration

As set out in the Letter from the Board in the Circular, pursuant to the Shanghai Investment Acquisition, SIIC Shanghai agreed to sell, and SI Development agreed to purchase, the Target Equity Interest. The final consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is RMB3,432.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4,289.8 million) (“ Final Consideration ”).

The consideration was initially determined at and provided in the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement to be RMB3,400.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4,248.9 million) following arm’s length negotiations between SI Development and SIIC Shanghai and with reference to the preliminary appraisal by the Independent Valuer on the value of the Target Equity Interest as at 31 March 2015, and is subject to the final confirmation of SASAC. It was contemplated in the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement that a supplemental agreement will be signed between SI Development and SIIC Shanghai to confirm the Final Consideration.

Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, SI Development and SIIC Shanghai confirmed that the Final Consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is RMB3,432.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4,289.8 million), which is the final fair value estimate of the Target Equity Interest appraised by the Independent Valuer and was confirmed by SASAC. A summary of the valuation report issued by the Independent Valuer dated 10 May 2015 containing the final fair value estimate of the Target Group is set out in SI Development’s announcement dated 18 May 2015 (“ PRC Valuation Report ”).

– 42 –

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

As set out in the Letter from the Board in the Circular, the Final Consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition will not be subject to any adjustment irrespective of the final appraised value of the properties held by the Target Group as determined by DTZ in Appendix I to the Circular. The final appraised value of the properties attributable to the Target Group as at 31 March 2015 as determined by DTZ and as detailed in the Appendix I – Valuation Report to the Circular is approximately RMB6,558.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$8,196.3 million).

As set out in the Letter from the Board in the Circular, the Final Consideration shall be payable by SI Development to SIIC Shanghai in cash in the following manner:

  • (i) 30% of the Final Consideration shall be paid within five working days after the satisfaction of all the conditions precedent as set out in the paragraph headed “Conditions Precedent” below (to be first satisfied by the internal resources of SI Development which will then be replenished by an equivalent amount from the proceeds from the SI Development Share Issuance after its completion); and

  • (ii) the remaining 70% of the Final Consideration shall be paid within ten days of completion of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition.

It is noted from the Letter from the Board in the Circular that SI Development will apply part of the proceeds from the SI Development Share Issuance to pay a portion of the Final Consideration for the Target Equity Interest amounting to RMB3,400.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4,248.9 million). SI Development will satisfy the remaining portion of the Final Consideration, which is RMB32.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$40.9 million), with its own internal resources.

(b) Conditions Precedent

Completion of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is conditional on the satisfaction of certain conditions, including: (i) approval from the board of directors of SI Development in respect of the SI Development Share Issuance;

  • (ii) approval from the shareholders of SI Development in respect of the SI Development Share Issuance;

  • (iii) all the required approvals of the SI Development Share Issuance have been granted by the relevant PRC approval authorities; and

  • (iv) approval of the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

– 43 –

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

Completion shall take place when registration of the transfer of the Target Equity Interest with the relevant PRC approval authorities has been completed which, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent, is expected to take place within 2015.

(c) Performance and Devaluation Compensation

As set out in the Letter from the Board in the Circular, in connection with the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement, SI Development and SIIC Shanghai also entered into the Shanghai Investment Performance Compensation Agreement on 28 April 2015 by way of a supplemental agreement to the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement. Pursuant to the Shanghai Investment Performance Compensation Agreement, upon the occurrence of all of the following:

  • (i) the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is completed; and

  • (ii) Shanghai Investment fails to achieve the agreed performance target, which is the sum of the target net profits attributable to shareholders (excluding income sourced outside the ordinary and usual course of business) of Shanghai Investment for the years 2015 to 2017,

SIIC Shanghai shall pay performance compensation to SI Development in cash, which shall be calculated as follows:

Performance compensation amount = the aggregate target net profits attributable to shareholders (excluding income sourced outside the ordinary and usual course of business) of Shanghai Investment for the years 2015 to 2017 – the aggregate actual net profits attributable to shareholders (excluding income sourced outside the ordinary and usual course of business) of Shanghai Investment for the years 2015 to 2017

Under the Supplemental Agreement, SI Development and SIIC Shanghai confirmed that based on the final valuation report on the fair value estimate of the Target Equity Interest appraised by the Independent Valuer, the agreed performance target (which is the sum of the target net profits attributable to shareholders (excluding income sourced outside the ordinary and usual course of business) of Shanghai Investment for the years 2015 to 2017) is RMB731.2 million (equivalent to approximately HK$913.8 million). It was determined following arm’s length negotiations between SI Development and SIIC Shanghai and with reference to, among other things, the assets, operations and financial information of Shanghai Investment, the macroeconomics of the PRC market and the development and trends within the PRC property industry (which were amongst the factors taken into account in the final valuation report by the Independent Valuer).

– 44 –

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

As noted in the Letter from the Board in the Circular, the aggregate actual net profits attributable to shareholders (excluding income sourced outside the ordinary and usual course of business) for the years 2015 to 2017 and the devaluation compensation amount will be audited by an accountant (with license in carrying securities business in the PRC) acceptable to SI Development. As stated in the Letter from the Board, SI Development and SIIC Shanghai also confirmed in the Supplemental Agreement that the performance compensation shall not exceed the Final Consideration for the Target Equity Interest, which is RMB3,432.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4,289.8 million).

In addition, if the amount of performance compensation received by SI Development is less than the decrease in the net asset value of Shanghai Investment as at the end of 2017 from the net asset value as at 31 March 2015 (as appraised by a PRC independent valuer), SIIC Shanghai shall pay an additional devaluation compensation to SI Development in cash, which shall be calculated as follows:

Devaluation compensation amount = the decrease in the net asset value of Shanghai Investment as at the end of 2017 from the net asset value as at 31 March 2015 – the performance compensation amount received by SI Development

The performance and devaluation compensation will be payable by SIIC Shanghai to SI Development within three months after the issuance of the 2017 report by such accountant. It is noted that if the obligations for SIIC Shanghai to pay the performance compensation and, if applicable, the devaluation compensation to SI Development under the Shanghai Investment Performance Compensation Agreement are triggered, the Company will disclose in an announcement and in its next annual report the matters as required under the Listing Rules.

We have reviewed a list of the asset injection transactions by parent company into A-share listed companies announced over the past two years and note that it is not uncommon for the vendors to provide similar arrangements for performance compensation while the terms vary. We consider that the performance and devaluation compensation provide an added benefit to the Company as in effect any decrease in valuation of the net assets from 2015 to 2017 of the Target Group would be reimbursed.

7. PRC valuation of the Target Group by the Independent Valuer

As set out in the Letter from the Board in the Circular, the Independent Valuer was commissioned by SI Development to conduct a fair value estimate of the valuation of each of Shanghai Investment and its seven subsidiaries, which forms the basis for determining the Final Consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition. The following table shows the appraised value and the net asset value of the Target Group as at 31 March 2015:

– 45 –

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

As at 31 March 2015 Appraised value Net asset value RMB million RMB million Interest attributable to the shareholders of Target Group 3,432.7 3,024.2

We have interviewed the Independent Valuer regarding its expertise and understand that the Independent Valuer is an established valuer with a large number of completed assignments acting for listed companies with business operations in PRC. We also understand that the valuer-in-charge for this assignment has over 10 years’ industry experience in conducting valuation exercises in the PRC.

We have reviewed the PRC Valuation Report. We have discussed with the Independent Valuer regarding the methodologies and assumptions adopted in valuing the Target Group as at 31 March 2015.

In determining the fair value estimate of the Target Group, the Independent Valuer has considered both the asset-based approach and income approach for each of the entities of the Target Group. The asset-based approach is essentially a combination of valuation methodologies used to derive the enterprise value of the valuation subject by appraising the value of the various assets and liabilities based on the balance sheet of the valuation subject at the valuation reference date. The asset-based approach is based on a judgement of the amount of investment needed to re-build an enterprise identical to the valuation target on the appraisal date. In particular, the enterprise value is arrived at by summing up the appraised values of each asset component forming the enterprise and then deducing the appraised values of its liabilities. On the other hand, income approach is used to capitalise or discount future projected cash flows of the operating assets that generate revenue to a single present value.

We note that there is a difference between the appraised values based on the respective approaches. As stated in the PRC Valuation Report, we understand that the difference in the valuation conclusion between the two valuation approaches is mainly due to: asset-based approach focus on the current market value while income approach mainly reflects the profitability of continuing operations in the future. Considering that the core assets of the valuation target were property inventories, asset-based approach can better reflect the current value of the assets and is easier to be verified in market since the fair value calculated under asset-based approach was based on the current market value in the same region after deduction of subsequent development costs, taxes and profit. Furthermore, the ability for property developers to become profitable from its continuing operations is dependent on its development progress, sales progress and the capital return situation, which can also be affected by various factors including macroeconomic environment, government regulation and control policies, industry development, market supply and demand, marketing and promotion strategies and downstream customers’ psychology, thus greater uncertainty. Therefore, the Independent Valuer is of the view that asset-based approach would be more objective

– 46 –

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

and reasonable to reflect the fair value of the valuation target, hence they have adopted this approach in its PRC Valuation Report to come up with the final valuation of the Target Group (excluding Shanghai New Century).

In determining the approach to adopt for valuing Shanghai New Century, the Independent Valuer has also considered different aspects of Shanghai New Century, including but not limited to, its business operation, which is a property management company, and that it is not “asset-heavy” in nature. As a result, the Independent Valuer has relied primarily on the discounted cash flow methodology (i.e. the income-approach) to determine the fair value estimate of 100% equity interest in Shanghai New Century at RMB69.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$86.2 million). Such valuation on Shanghai New Century constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rule.

It is noted that in its letter to the Directors dated 15 May 2015 (a copy of which is set out in Appendix II to the Circular), Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu is of the opinion that the discounted future estimated cash flows (on which the PRC Valuation Report prepared by the Independent Valuer dated 10 May 2015, in respect of the entire equity interest in Shanghai New Century as at 31 March 2015 is based), so far as the calculations are concerned, have been properly compiled, in all material respects, in accordance with the assumptions as set out in the Letter from the Board in the Circular. It is also noted that the Directors in their letter to the Stock Exchange dated 15 May 2015 (a copy of which is set out in Appendix III to the Circular) confirmed that the fair value estimate of the valuation of 100% equity interest in Shanghai New Century as contained in the PRC Valuation Report has been made after due and careful enquiry.

The principal assumptions, including commercial assumptions, upon which the PRC Valuation Report was based are set out in the Letter from the Board in the Circular. According to the Independent Valuer, the assumptions are standard assumptions and common in practice for valuation purpose in the industry. The Independent Valuer has also confirmed that the PRC Valuation Report has been prepared in compliance with the relevant PRC regulatory requirements and professional standards as required to obtain the relevant PRC approvals for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition.

Taking into account the above matters and our understanding of the particulars of the Target Group, we consider that the valuation methodologies adopted by the Independent Valuer in valuing the Target Group as at 31 March 2015 are appropriate.

8. Analyses of the Final Consideration

It is noted that the Final Consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition of RMB3,432.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4,289.8 million) is equal to the appraised value by the Independent Valuer. The consideration was initially determined at and provided in the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement to be RMB3,400.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4,248.9 million) following arm’s length negotiations between SI Development and SIIC Shanghai and with reference to the preliminary appraisal by the Independent Valuer of the Target Equity Interest as at 31 March 2015.

– 47 –

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

In compliance with the Listing Rules and for the purpose of the Board (including the Independent Board Committee) and Independent Shareholders to consider the Shanghai Investment Acquisition, the Company has engaged DTZ, an independent property valuer in Hong Kong to value the properties interests of the Target Group. The properties interests of the Target Group was valued by DTZ at RMB6,558.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$8,196.3 million) as at 31 March 2015. It is noted from the Letter from the Board that in considering whether the consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition as agreed between SI Development and SIIC Shanghai is fair and reasonable, the Directors have also taken into consideration the appraisal value of the properties held by the Target Group as determined by DTZ as set out in the DTZ Valuation Report in Appendix I to the Circular, and did not consider the final valuation report of the Independent Valuer on the fair value estimate of 100% equity interest in Shanghai Investment, which report was the basis of the consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition determined between SI Development and SIIC Shanghai.

(a) Adjusted net asset value

In assessing the Final Consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition, we have adjusted the net asset value of the Target Group attributable to shareholders of the Company as at 31 March 2015 with such valuation and the corresponding deferred tax liabilities, which is calculated as follows:

Audited consolidated net asset value of the
Target Group attributable to the
shareholders as at 31 March 2015

properties held by the Target Group

Notes:

  1. Fair value adjustment regarding the properties held by the Target Group is derived from the market value of the properties held by the Target Group attributable to shareholders as at 31 March 2015 of RMB6,558.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$8,196.3 million) as

– 48 –

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

appraised by DTZ less their respective audited consolidated book cost attributable to the shareholders of the Target Group as recorded under “Inventories” as at 31 March 2015 of RMB4,180.2 million (equivalent to approximately HK$5,223.9 million). As advised by the Company, such amount is different from the audited consolidated book cost of RMB4,740.6 million of the Target Group as recorded under “Inventories” as at 31 March 2015 due to the fact that this figure is inclusive of minority interests while the amount of RMB4,180.2 million adopted for the purpose of the above calculation is exclusive of minority interest.

  1. As stated in the DTZ Valuation Report, according to financial information of the Target Group, for indicate purpose and based on prevailing rules and information available as at the Latest Practicable Date, the potential tax liability which would arise on the disposal of the properties at the amounts valued by DTZ in the PRC are PRC business tax (approximately 5%), PRC enterprise income tax (approximately 25%) and PRC land appreciation tax (approximately 30%-60% of the appreciation amount), if any. As advised by the Company, the corresponding deferred tax liabilities amounted to RMB1,671.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$2,089.0 million).

In relation to the corresponding deferred tax liabilities of the Target Group provided by the Company, we understand that such adjustment is necessary as there may be potential tax liabilities to be borne by the Target Group if the properties are disposed of in the future. In assessing the estimated potential liabilities of the Target Group, we have obtained from the Company and reviewed the calculations in relation thereto and understand that the estimated potential tax liabilities are calculated with reference to the applicable prevailing tax rates, the projected proceeds from the sale of the properties and the estimated cost deductions. Based on above, we consider that the bases of the Company in calculating the estimated potential liabilities are reasonable. As the relevant bases are about future events which may or may not occur, the actual tax liabilities of the Target Group are likely to be different from the above estimation and the variation may be material.

As illustrated above, the Final Consideration of RMB3,432.7 million represented a discount of approximately 8% to the adjusted net asset value of the Target Group of RMB3,731.1 million.

(b) Original acquisition cost by SIIC Shanghai

We note that the original cost of acquisition by SIIC Shanghai of the Target Equity Interest in Shanghai Investment from Shanghai International Group Co., Ltd. in 2014 was RMB3,353.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4,190.2 million). The Company has advised that the difference in the Final Consideration for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition and the original cost incurred by SIIC Shanghai for the acquisition of the Target Equity Interest mainly represents the revaluation gain for the Target Group during the time period.

(c) Comparable analysis

We have further conducted (i) the comparable precedent transaction analysis; and (ii), the comparable company trading analysis on the Final Consideration. Please note that the business, operations and prospects of the Target Group are not entirely the same as those target companies in the Comparable Transactions (as

– 49 –

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

defined below) and/or the Comparable Companies (as defined below) mentioned in the comparable company trading analysis, therefore, they may not be directly comparable. As such, this information should be referenced with care.

(i) Comparable precedent transaction analysis

We have analysed certain comparable precedent transactions (the “ Comparable Transactions ”) that have been disclosed in the public domain. In identifying the Comparable Transactions, the selection criteria are based on transactions that (i) are acquisitions of PRC property project companies by companies listed on the Stock Exchange; (ii) are announced in the last six months immediately before the Latest Practicable Date; (iii) have disclosed the appraised net asset value (“ Appraised NAV ”) of the target project companies, in which case, based on our observations, are transactions that fall under the “connected transactions” category as defined under the Listing Rules. The Comparable Transactions have been selected exhaustively based on the criteria set out above with reasonably sufficient samples for comparison purpose and which have been identified, to the best of our efforts, in our research through public sources.

The table below illustrates the discount of the acquisition consideration to Appraised NAV of each of the Comparable Transactions.

  1. Represents the book NAV of the target group (based on the management accounts of the target group) as adjusted by the appraised value of the properties held under the target group as disclosed in the announcement.

  2. Represents the adjusted net asset value of the Target Group as calculated above.

The implied discount to adjusted NAV of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is within the range of the Comparable Transactions but lower than the average.

(ii) Comparable company trading analysis

We have also analysed the P/B of the comparable companies (the “ Comparable Companies ”). Our main selection criteria for Comparable Companies are companies (i) currently listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange in Hong Kong; (ii) primarily engaged in real estate development business in PRC; and (iii) with a net book value (“ NBV ”) range from approximately RMB3,000.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3,749.1 million) to RMB6,000.0 million (equivalent to approximately HK$7,498.1 million) as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Comparable Companies have been selected exhaustively based on the criteria set out above with reasonably sufficient samples for comparison purpose and which have been identified, to the best of our efforts, in our research through public sources.

Although the Comparable Companies have NBV which vary when comparing with those of Shanghai Investment of RMB3,041.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3,800.4 million) as at 31 December 2014, they are included in the selection as their business scope is similar to that of the Target Group and they are considered to be operating in a similar industry environment in the PRC. One should recognise that due to the unique business strategy and position of each company, it is not practical to identify a company with the same proportion of revenue contribution from the same business and geographic segment.

We have adopted the commonly adopted valuation methodology, being price-to-book ratio (“ P/B ”) in assessing the Final Consideration. The table below illustrates the P/B multiples of each of the Comparable Companies:

In this relation, we noted that SI Development is trading at a significantly higher P/ B multiple than the implied P/B multiple of Shanghai Investment Acquisition.

9. Financial effects of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition on the Group

As mentioned above, the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is subject to the completion of the SI Development Share Issuance and, as a result of the SI Development Share Issuance, the Company’s shareholding interest in SI Development will be diluted from 63.65% to 43.20%, given rise to a deemed disposal of the Company according to Rule 14.29 of the Listing Rules. Nevertheless, SI Development will continue to be accounted for as a subsidiary of the Company and its assets and liabilities and financial results will continue to be consolidated in the financial statements of the Company.

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

(a) Net asset value

Upon completion of the Shanghai Investment Equity Interest Transfer Agreement, Shanghai Investment will become a subsidiary of the Company and accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the Target Group will be fully consolidated into the financial statements of the Company.

Given that the net assets value attributable to owners of the Target Group amounted to RMB3,041.1 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3,800.4 million) whereas the Final Consideration to be paid for the Shanghai Investment Acquisition is RMB3,432.7 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4,289.8 million), a premium over the net assets value attributable to owners of the Target Group of RMB391.6 million (equivalent to approximately HK$489.4 million) would arise, which would be booked by merger accounting with the premium paid over the net assets value attributable to owners to be debited to the reserve. Taking into account the premium paid over the net assets value attributable to owners of the Target Group, the gross proceeds of the SI Development Share Issuance (without taken into consideration the costs and expenses of the transaction) and the dilution effect of the SI Development Share Issuance resulted in the Company holding 43.2% of equity interest in SI Development, the net asset value of the Group is expected to increase by approximately HK$1,588.6 million, representing an approximately 4.5% increase in the net asset value attributable to owners of the Company.

(b) Earnings

Upon completion of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition, Shanghai Investment will become a subsidiary of the Company and accordingly, the financial results of the Target Group will be consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. Had completion of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition took place on 1 January 2014, the profit attributable to owners of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014 would have been increased by approximately HK$166.6 million.

(c) Working capital

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board in the Circular, an amount of RMB3,400.0 million out of the total amount of RMB3,432.7 million of the Final Consideration will be funded by part of the proceeds from the SI Development Share Issuance with the balance of RMB32.7 million to be funded from the internal resources of SI Development. As stated in the consolidated balance sheet of SI Development as at 31 December 2014, SI Development had cash and cash equivalent of approximately RMB4,109.9 million. Further, the total gross cash proceeds from the SI Development Share Issuance amounts to RMB5,860.7 million (without taken into consideration the costs and expenses of the transaction). It is expected that the cash position and the gearing position of the Group will improve on completion of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition.

– 53 –

LETTER FROM BNP PARIBAS

CONCLUSION

Having considered the above principal reasons and factors, we consider that the terms of the Shanghai Investment Acquisition are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; on normal commercial terms or better and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group; and are in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. We therefore, advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend, and we ourselves recommend, the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Shanghai Investment Acquisition.

Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of BNP Paribas Securities (Asia) Limited KT Law Director

28 May 2015

The Board of Directors Shanghai Industrial Holdings Limited 26/F, Harcourt House 38 Gloucester Road Wanchai Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

Instructions, Purpose & Valuation Date

In accordance with the instructions of Shanghai Industrial Holdings Limited(上海實業控股有 限公司) (the “Company”) for us to carry out the valuation of the market value of the properties (“Properties”) held by Shanghai Investment Co., Ltd.(上海上投控股有限公司)(the “Target Company”) and its subsidiaries (together the “Target Group”) in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”), we confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we considered necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the Properties in existing state as at 31 March 2015 (the “valuation date”).

Definition of Market Value

Our valuations of each of the Properties represent its Market Value. The definition of Market Value adopted in The HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition follows the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council (“IVSC”). Market Value is defined by the IVSC as “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

– I-1 –

VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX I

Valuation Basis and Assumption

Our valuations of the Properties exclude an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value.

In the course of our valuation of the Properties held by the Target Group in the PRC, with reference to the PRC Legal opinion of the legal adviser, Allbright Law Offices(上海市錦天城 律師事務所), we have prepared our valuation on the basis that transferable land use rights in respect of the Properties for its specific term at nominal annual land use fee have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. We have relied on the information and advice given by the Target Group and the PRC legal opinion of the Company’s legal adviser, dated 28 May 2015, regarding the titles to the Properties and the interests in the Properties. In valuing the Properties, we have prepared our valuation on the basis that the owners have enforceable title to the Properties and have free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the Properties for the whole of the unexpired terms as granted.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, pledges or amounts owing on the Properties nor any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is valued on the basis that the Properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of any onerous nature which could affect their values.

According to financial information of the Target Group, for indicate purpose and based on prevailing rules and information available as at the Latest Practicable Date, the potential tax liability which would arise on the disposal of the Properties at the amounts valued by us in the PRC are PRC business tax (approximately 5%), PRC enterprise income tax (approximately 25%) and PRC land appreciation tax (approximately 30%-60% of the appreciation amount), if any. According to our established practice, in the course of our valuation, we have neither verified nor taken into account such tax liability. The precise tax implication will be subject to prevailing rules and regulation at the time of disposal. In respect of the Properties held by Target Group under development and future development purposes respectively, the likelihood of the relevant tax liabilities being crystallized is remote in near future as the Target Group has no plans for the disposal of such properties yet. In respect of the completed properties held for sale, it is likely that the relevant tax liabilities will be crystallized upon sale.

Method of Valuation

In valuing the Properties, which is held by the Target Group for future development in the PRC, we have adopted the Direct Comparison Approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market.

We have examined the calculations of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which the valuation prepared by 上海東洲資產評估有限公司 (Orient Appraisal Co., Ltd.) dated 10 May 2015, in respect of the entire equity interest in 上海新世紀房產服務有限公司 (Shanghai New Century Real Estate Service Co., Ltd.) (“ Shanghai New Century ”) as at 31 March 2015 (the “ Valuation ”) is based. Shanghai New Century is a company established in the People’s Republic of China and is principally engaged in property management, real estate agency, consulting, garage management and conference services. The Valuation based on the discounted future estimated cash flows is regarded as a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Listing Rules ”) and will be included in the announcement dated 15 May 2015 issued by Shanghai Industrial Holdings Limited (the “ Company ”) in connection with the acquisition of the 100% equity interest in Shanghai Investment Co., Ltd. of which Shanghai New Century is its 75% owned subsidiary, by Shanghai Industrial Development Co., Ltd. (the “ Announcement ”).

Directors’ responsibility for the discounted future estimated cash flows

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions determined by the directors and set out in the Announcement (the “ Assumptions ”). This responsibility includes carrying out appropriate procedures relevant to the preparation of the discounted future estimated cash flows for the Valuation and applying an appropriate basis of preparation; and making estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Reporting accountants’ responsibility

It is our responsibility to form an opinion on the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the discounted future estimated cash flows on which the Valuation is based and to report solely to you, as a body, as required by Rule 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.

Our engagement was conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 “Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the

REPORT FROM DELOITTE ON PROFIT FORECAST ON SHANGHAI NEW CENTURY

APPENDIX II

assurance engagement to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the discounted future estimated cash flows, so far as the calculations are concerned, have been properly compiled in accordance with the Assumptions. Our work does not constitute any valuation of Shanghai New Century.

Because the Valuation relates to discounted future estimated cash flows, no accounting policies of the Company have been adopted in its preparation. The Assumptions include hypothetical assumptions about future events and management actions which cannot be confirmed and verified in the same way as past results and these may or may not occur. Even if the events and actions anticipated do occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Valuation and the variation may be material. Accordingly, we have not reviewed, considered or conducted any work on the reasonableness and the validity of the Assumptions and do not express any opinion whatsoever thereon.

Opinion

Based on the foregoing, in our opinion, the discounted future estimated cash flows, so far as the calculations are concerned, have been properly compiled, in all material respects, in accordance with the Assumptions.
