SALE OF EQUITY INTEREST IN A SUBSIDIARY – SHANGHAI HUANYU

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 20 October 2021 in relation to the sale of equity interest in Shanghai Huanyu (i.e. the Disposal).

The purpose of this circular is, among other things, to provide you with (i) further information on the Disposal; (ii) a valuation report of the property interests held by Shanghai Huanyu; and (iii) other information as required under the Listing Rules.

THE DISPOSAL

The Board announces that on 20 October 2021, SUD, an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement with the Buyer on the disposal of the Equity Interest, representing 60% equity interest in Shanghai Huanyu (being the Group’s entire interest in Shanghai Huanyu) for a total consideration of

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RMB3,576,000,000. The Equity Interest was offered for sale through the Public Tender conducted on the Shanghai Assets Exchange and the Buyer, as the sole bidder, succeeded in the open bid in relation to the Disposal.

The following summarises certain salient terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

Date

20 October 2021

Parties

  • (1) SUD, a subsidiary of the Company (as the seller)

  • (2) the Buyer (as the successful bidder to the Public Tender and buyer)

The Buyer is wholly-owned by Xuhui SASAC (a substantial shareholder of SUD). Therefore, the Buyer is an associate of Xuhui SASAC and a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level.

Disposal

Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, SUD has agreed to sell and the Buyer has agreed to buy, 60% equity interest in Shanghai Huanyu, representing the Group’s entire interest in Shanghai Huanyu.

Given the equity interest in Shanghai Huanyu is regarded as state-owned assets under the relevant PRC rules, the transfer of the equity interest in Shanghai Huanyu was subject to the Public Tender through the Shanghai Assets Exchange with a minimum bidding price of RMB3,576,000,000 (the “ Minimum Bidding Price ”) which was determined with reference to its appraised value as further set out in the paragraph headed “Consideration and Payment Terms” of this section headed “Letter from the Board” in this circular. The Public Tender was conducted in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC, and took place from 13 September 2021 and concluded on 14 October 2021 (the “ Publication Period ”). During the Publication Period, interested bidders were invited to indicate their intention to purchase the Equity Interest and register themselves as an interested bidder. Pursuant to the terms of the Public Tender, in the event of receiving a sole bid, the sole bidder may still be selected as the winning bidder as long as the Minimum Bidding Price is met. The Buyer, as the sole bidder, succeeded in the open bid in relation to the Disposal having met the Minimum Bidding Price. Upon conclusion of the Public Tender on 14 October 2021 followed by a satisfactory assessment by the Shanghai Assets Exchange on the qualifications of the winning bidder, negotiation on the specific terms of the Disposal between SUD and the Buyer commenced for the purpose of entering into the Equity Transfer Agreement upon agreement between the parties. Upon signing of the Equity Transfer Agreement and subject to the satisfaction of the Conditions (as defined below) as further set out in the paragraph headed “Completion” of this section headed “Letter from the Board” in this circular, both SUD and the Buyer shall become committed to complete the Disposal.

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Shanghai Huanyu is owned as to 60% by SUD, 30% by Shanghai West Coast and 10% by Shanghai Xujiahui Center. After the Completion, the Group will cease to have any interest in Shanghai Huanyu and its financial results will no longer be consolidated with the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Consideration and Payment Terms

The Consideration payable by the Buyer for the Equity Interest is RMB3,576,000,000. The Consideration is the outcome of the Public Tender which was accepted by the Group with reference to the appraised value of Shanghai Huanyu as at 30 June 2021. According to the valuation report issued by 上海財瑞資產評估有限公司 (Shanghai Cai Rui Assets Evaluation Co. Ltd.*), an independent valuer, having conducted a valuation on Shanghai Huanyu using an asset-based approach, the appraised value of shareholders’ equity interest of Shanghai Huanyu as at 30 June 2021 was approximately RMB5,957,000,000, and the appraised value of the Equity Interest amounted to approximately RMB3,574,000,000.

Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Consideration shall be payable by the Buyer to SUD in cash according to the following schedule:

  • (i) an initial deposit: the Buyer has already paid a deposit in the amount of RMB1,072,800,000 to participate in the Public Tender, and such amount shall be applied towards payment of the Consideration after the effective date of the Equity Transfer Agreement (the “ Effective Date ”); and

  • (ii) the remaining Consideration: the Buyer shall pay the balance of the Consideration in the amount of RMB2,503,200,000 within three business days after the Effective Date.

Completion

Completion is conditional upon the satisfaction of the following conditions (the “ Conditions ”):

  • (i) the shareholders of SI Urban Development having passed the resolution (the “ Shareholders’ Approval ”) at the general meeting of SI Urban Development to approve the Disposal in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules; and

  • (ii) the Shanghai Assets Exchange having issued the proof for the transfer of Equity Interest (the “ Transfer of Equity Interest Proof ”) upon the Shareholders’ Approval.

The Effective Date shall be the date of the Shareholders’ Approval. The date of Completion shall be the date of satisfaction of all the Conditions.

No long stop date is specified in the Equity Transfer Agreement, and the parties intend to complete the Equity Transfer Agreement as soon as practicable after obtaining the Shareholders’ Approval at the SIUD SGM.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As post-Completion obligations, (i) SUD shall assist the Buyer to complete all administrative transitional matters for the purpose of the Disposal; and (ii) SUD and the Buyer will assist Shanghai Huanyu with the relevant industrial and commercial registration of change within 10 working days upon receipt of the Transfer of Equity Interest Proof.

To ensure smooth transition and continuation of the business of Shanghai Huanyu after Completion, on 20 October 2021, the relevant parties have entered into (i) the Management Consulting Service Agreement in respect of certain management consulting services for Binjiang U Center to be provided by SUD Qianzhiyuan to Shanghai Huanyu from the date of issuance of the Transfer of Equity Interest Proof to 31 December 2023, which involves the provision by SUD Qianzhiyuan of all aspects of the daily operation management of Binjiang U Center (including but not limited to project management, financial management and other administrative management) and designating management staff from SUD Qianzhiyuan to Shanghai Huanyu (the “ Management Staff Transitional Arrangement ”) for a management service fee to be calculated monthly based on labour cost incurred from the Management Staff Transitional Arrangement so as to facilitate a continuous and smooth development of Binjiang U Center following the Completion; and (ii) the Project Management Services Agreement in respect of certain project management services for Binjiang U Center to be provided by SUD Qianzhiyuan to Shanghai Huanyu from the date of issuance of the Transfer of Equity Interest Proof to the completion of Binjiang U Center for a management fee of RMB22,732,500 (the “ Management Fee ”), which includes the overall project management, initial planning, organising and managing tender processes, managing the design, progress and inspection of the construction works, assisting with settlement of the project and other related supporting services. The Management Fee was determined after arm’s length negotiation between SUD Qianzhiyuan and Shanghai Huanyu with reference to fees charged by other project management service providers on similar state-owned assets in Shanghai and the amount of remaining construction work of Binjiang U Center to be completed. The Management Fee is payable by Shanghai Huanyu to SUD Qianzhiyuan as follows, which was determined mainly with reference to the expected completion time of the remaining construction of Binjiang U Center:

  • (a) 25% by 15 July 2022;

  • (b) 25% by 15 January 2023;

  • (c) 25% by 15 July 2023;

  • (d) 15% once filings of the completion of Binjiang U Center are completed; and

  • (e) 10% once the relevant real estate title certificate is received.

Upon Completion, SUD will no longer hold any equity interest in Shanghai Huanyu which will therefore cease to be a subsidiary of the Company. Given Xuhui SASAC is a substantial shareholder of SUD, Shanghai Huanyu will become an associate of Xuhui SASAC and a connected person at the subsidiary level of the Company. The Company will comply with all applicable requirements pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules upon Completion.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

INFORMATION OF THE BUYER

The Buyer is a company established in the PRC with limited liability and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Xuhui SASAC. It is principally engaged in investment-related activities including asset management, investment consulting and venture capital investment. Xuhui SASAC is a government authority authorised by and established directly under the Shanghai Xuhui District People’s Government for supervising and managing state-owned assets in the possession of Xuhui District, the PRC.

INFORMATION OF SHANGHAI HUANYU

Shanghai Huanyu is a limited liability company established in the PRC. As disclosed in the joint announcements published by the Company and SI Urban Development dated 14 April 2011 and 23 November 2011 and the circular published by SI Urban Development dated 31 October 2011, on 23 November 2011 (the “ Acquisition Completion Date ”), SI Urban Development completed the acquisition of the entire issued share capital of Silvery Champ Limited (the “ Target ”) from the Company (the “ Acquisition ”). Prior to the Acquisition, Shanghai Huanyu was already a 60%-owned subsidiary of the Target. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Shanghai Huanyu is owned as to 60% by SUD, 30% by Shanghai West Coast and 10% by Shanghai Xujiahui Center. Shanghai Huanyu is the owner and developer of Binjiang U Center, a proposed composite commercial development located in Shanghai in the Xuhui District occupying a total site area of approximately 77,370.50 sq.m..

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Phase I of Binjiang U Center has been completed and is already in operation.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The development of the entire Binjiang U Center project involves a long construction period which is currently not expected to be completed until at least the end of 2023 and requires a substantial expected investment amount by Shanghai Huanyu of approximately RMB9,265,000,000 in aggregate. As at 30 June 2021, the carrying amount of the SIUD Group’s investment in Shanghai Huanyu approximates to RMB2,739,919,000, which comprises the SIUD Group’s share in the net asset value of Shanghai Huanyu and the SIUD Group’s share of the historical acquisition premium in Shanghai Hanyu as at 30 June 2021 (being the carrying amount of aggregate revaluation gain on the parcels of land held by Shanghai Huanyu on the Acquisition Completion Date as at 30 June 2021). Shanghai Huanyu has incurred a total cost of approximately RMB2,400,490,000 so far for the Binjiang U Center project. It was originally anticipated by SI Urban Development that the commercial units of Binjiang U Center would be sold after completion of positive investment return. In 2020, the management of Shanghai Huanyu changed the intention in respect of the completed portion of Phase I of Binjiang U Center from selling the commercial units to leasing out a portion of the completed commercial units in return for steady revenue from the rental income instead. Such long-term shift in the operational model means a further delay in investment recovery period compared to the original expected year of 2046 for investment recovery when the Binjiang U Center project was launched. SI Urban Development expects that the Binjiang U Center project would impose a relatively large impact on the debt ratio of SI Urban Development and would not make any significant levels of positive performance contributions to SI Urban Development in the short run. Therefore, with a view to lowering the debt ratio of SI Urban Development, increasing its cash reserve, facilitating the carryover of profits and laying a solid foundation for the long-term development, active investment and expansion of new projects by SI Urban Development, the Group believes that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for SI Urban Development to realise its investment in Shanghai Huanyu and any potential gain from the Binjiang U Center project in one go in the form of the Disposal.

On the above basis, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Disposal has been made on normal commercial terms, albeit not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group; and that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable and that entering into of the Equity Transfer Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS ARISING FROM THE DISPOSAL

Upon Completion, Shanghai Huanyu will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the Group will cease to have any interest in Shanghai Huanyu. The financial results of Shanghai Huanyu will no longer be consolidated with the consolidated financial statements of the Group following Completion.

Based on a preliminary assessment, it is estimated that SUD will record an unaudited gain after taxation on the Disposal of approximately RMB164,000,000 which represents:

  • (i) the Consideration; less

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) RMB2,717,000,000 being SUD’s interest and the SIUD Group’s share of the historical acquisition premium in Shanghai Huanyu as at 31 December 2020 (being the carrying amount of aggregate revaluation gain on the parcels of land held by Shanghai Huanyu on the Acquisition Completion Date as at 31 December 2020); less

  • (iii) RMB695,000,000, being the estimated taxation (the “ Estimated Taxation ”) to be provided based on the Consideration and the initial investment cost.

The actual gain or loss as a result of the Disposal to be recorded by SUD is subject to a final audit to be performed by the auditors of SI Urban Development upon Completion.

The excess of the Consideration over the audited consolidated net asset value of Shanghai Huanyu as at 31 December 2020 is approximately RMB1,941,000,000.

Financial effect on earnings

Upon Completion, the income statements of Shanghai Huanyu will no longer be consolidated to the consolidated income statement of the Group going forward. Assuming that the Disposal had taken place on 1 January 2021, the total revenue of the Remaining Group would slightly decrease from HK$16,316,000,000 to HK$16,297,000,000 for the first half of 2021.

Financial effect on assets and liabilities

Upon Completion, the balance sheet of Shanghai Huanyu will no longer be consolidated to the consolidated balance sheet of the Group going forward.

Assuming that the Disposal had taken place on 30 June 2021, the total assets of the Remaining Group would decrease from approximately HK$210,759,000,000 to approximately HK$206,671,000,000, and the total liabilities of the Remaining Group would decrease from approximately HK$125,683,000,000 to HK$123,621,000,000.

Net proceeds from the Disposal

Based on a preliminary assessment, it is estimated that the net proceeds before taxation from the Disposal amounts to approximately RMB3,538,000,000, which represents:

  • (i) the Consideration; less

  • (ii) RMB38,000,000, being the cash and cash equivalents of Shanghai Huanyu as at 30 June 2021.

Taking into account the Estimated Taxation, the net proceeds from the Disposal which is expected to be approximately RMB2,843,000,000 are expected to be used by the SIUD Group as follows:

  • (i) approximately RMB1,421,500,000 for the partial repayment of the following medium term notes and advanced bonds:

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (a) the medium term notes issued by SUD and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange with maturity due on 11 June 2022. Such medium term notes have an outstanding principal amount of RMB1,000,000,000 and accrued interest of RMB16,667,000 as of the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (b) the advanced bonds issued by SUD and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange with maturity due on 23 August 2022. Such advanced bonds have an outstanding principal amount of RMB1,150,000,000 and accrued interest of RMB11,356,000 as of the Latest Practicable Date; and

  • (c) the advanced bonds issued by SUD and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange with maturity due on 6 November 2022. Such advanced bonds have an outstanding principal amount of RMB1,767,000,000 and accrued interest of RMB6,582,000 as of the Latest Practicable Date;

the application of such portion of the net proceeds towards the repayment of the above medium term notes and advanced bonds will reduce the amount that is required to be refinanced upon maturity of such notes and bonds, and thereby improving the overall financial performance of the SIUD Group;

  • (ii) approximately RMB1,000,000,000 for the payment of further land parcels to increase the land bank of the SIUD Group as and when opportunities arise. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the SIUD Group has yet to identify any specific land parcel investment opportunities; and

  • (iii) the remaining net proceeds to be used for the settlement of daily operational and capital expenditures of the SIUD Group including construction costs incurred for investment properties under development.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Buyer is wholly-owned by Xuhui SASAC (a substantial shareholder of SUD). Given SUD is a subsidiary of the Company, the Buyer is therefore an associate of Xuhui SASAC and a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level. Accordingly, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules, a connected transaction between the listed issuer’s group and a connected person at the subsidiary level on normal commercial terms or better is exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and shareholders’ approval requirements if: (1) the listed issuer’s board of directors have approved the transaction; and (2) the independent non-executive directors have confirmed that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable, the transaction is on normal commercial terms or better and in the interests of the listed issuer and its shareholders as a whole.

The Company has obtained approval from the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) regarding the Disposal and the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) have confirmed that the terms of the Disposal are fair and

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

reasonable, and that the Disposal are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. As such, pursuant to Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules, the Disposal is exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Disposal exceed 25% but all of them are less than 75%, the Disposal constitutes a major transaction of the Company. Accordingly, the Disposal is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders or their respective close associates is required to abstain from voting under the Listing Rules if the Company were to convene an extraordinary general meeting for the approval of the Disposal.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, SIIC holds 683,803,748 Shares, representing approximately 62.90% of the issued share capital of the Company. The Company has obtained the written approval of SIIC on the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Disposal pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules. As a result, no extraordinary general meeting will be convened to consider the Disposal.

None of the Directors had a material interest in the Equity Transfer Agreement or was required to abstain from voting on the relevant Board resolution(s) approving the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Disposal.

Completion is subject to the satisfaction of the Conditions and therefore, may or may not take place. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Disposal has been made on normal commercial terms, albeit not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group; and that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable and that entering into of the Equity Transfer Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Although a general meeting will not be convened by the Company to approve the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Disposal, if such a general meeting were to be convened by the Company, the Board would have recommended the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to approve the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Disposal.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

In line with the Group’s business strategy to optimise its business structure and build up a solid foundation for its continued development and improvement in profitability, the Group will continue to seek breakthroughs to strengthen its existing core businesses and develop opportunities in new business arenas, improve operating and management efficiency, and strengthen risk management and controls through careful planning and deployment of its resources. This is expected to enhance the earnings capabilities of the Group and create higher values for the Shareholders.

Infrastructure Facilities

Since the second half of last year, the epidemic has been under control in the Mainland, leading to the resumption of normal operations of the road networks. Under the circumstances, the overall traffic flow and toll revenue of the three toll roads and the Hangzhou Bay Bridge owned by the Group recorded significant growth this year. The Group will continue to focus on epidemic prevention and enhance operational efficiency to maintain stable business development.

State leaders have called for the due implementation of various initiatives on “capping carbon emissions” and “achieving carbon neutrality” with the formulation of action plans to achieve carbon-emission capping by 2030, optimize industry and energy structures and to promote the clean and efficient use of coal. SIIC Environment Holdings Ltd. will seize good opportunities brought by national policies on promoting environmentally friendly and clean energy, as well as to explore new funding sources, accelerate the deployment of the Group’s resources in the area of environmental protection technologies, facilitate the integration of business and financing, and promote the sustainable and quality development of the company.

Shanghai Galaxy Investment Co., Ltd. (上海星河數碼投資有限公司) (“ Shanghai Galaxy* ”) and its subsidiary, SIIC Aerospace Galaxy Energy (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., together own a total of 15 photovoltaic power generation projects nationwide and have become leading Chinese photovoltaics companies with a total asset scale of 740MW. Through investments in new business arenas, the Group’s investments in the environmental protection and green energy segment are expected to generate new contributions to the Group.

Real Estate

With the PRC Government’s effective control over the epidemic in the PRC, the Group’s real estate business has sped up the pace of its construction projects and achieved significant progress. Relatively higher profits were generated this year which is mainly attributable from the sales revenue of the Shanghai Bay project (Phase 4) which is under development by Shanghai Industrial Development Co., Ltd. (“ SI Development ”) and in which the Company holds a 49% interest. The increase in profit was also due to additional profit recorded during the period arising from sale of a property project of the Group and a revaluation gain arising from the re-classification of a property development project.

Consumer Products

The airport duty-free market as well as the ship-tobacco and overseas markets of Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company, Limited (“ Nanyang Tobacco ”) are expected to be affected by the pandemic in the short-term, while sales from Mainland markets increased, and overall operations have been strong and efficient. The company will focus on developing new products, consolidating resources, establishing new marketing ideas, adjusting the structure of product channels, and actively plan for breakthroughs in the overall development of the company. In order to protect the interests of the company under controllable risks, Nanyang Tobacco will also continue to seek cooperation with large PRC cigarette enterprises for overseas production and sales, making efforts to enhance overall competitiveness by broadening the scope of the company’s markets and global presence.

The spread of the pandemic is not expected to be contained in the short term while inflation continues to prevail. Under the circumstances, The Wing Fat Printing Company, Limited will continue to work hard and forge ahead, actively tapping its potential to enhance operational efficiency. Capitalizing on its corporate development attributes, the company will make considerable efforts to monitor risk in a changing environment and develop plans for the future while striving to achieve its operational targets.
