The purpose of this circular is, among other things, to provide you with (i) further details of the Land Acquisition and the formation of the JV Company; and (ii) the financial information of the Group.

On 8 May 2021, the Tender Consortium, which is formed by SI Development (a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), Shanghai Municipal Investment and Shanghai Construction Group, received a confirmation notification from Hongkou District Planning and Natural Resources Bureau, stating that the Tender Consortium has won in a bid for the

acquisition of the Land Use Rights of the Land through listing-for-sale at a consideration of RMB9,106,000,000. The Land Use Rights Grant Contract in respect of the Land Acquisition was entered into on 8 May 2021 by the Tender Consortium.

Details of the Land Acquisition are set out below:

Date of the Land Use Rights : 8 May 2021 (as amended and supplemented by the Grant Contract supplemental agreements dated 3 June 2021 and 6 July 2022) Parties : (1) Hongkou District Planning and Natural Resources Bureau (as the transferor); and (2) the Tender Consortium (as the transferee) Location of the Land : The Land is situated at the land parcels numbered HK321-01 and HK321-02 (a portion of the Land is underground land), North Bund, Hongkou District, Shanghai, the PRC (i.e. the land parcel No. 91, North Bund), and it reaches Dantu Road to the east, Dongchangzhi Road to the south, Gaoyang Road to the west and Tangshan Road to the north. Total land transfer site area : 34,585.2 square metres Consideration : RMB9,106,000,000 The Consideration shall be contributed by SI Development, Shanghai Municipal Investment and Shanghai Construction Group in the following proportion: SI Development 50% Shanghai Municipal Investment 35% Shanghai Construction Group 15% Payment terms : (1) RMB1,821,200,000, being 20% of the Consideration, shall be paid within five business days from the date of signing the Land Use Rights Grant Contract; (2) RMB2,731,800,000, being 30% of the Consideration, shall be paid within a month from the date of signing the Land Use Rights Grant Contract (i.e. by 7 June 2021); and

– 6 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (3) RMB4,553,000,000, being 50% of the Consideration, shall be paid within 295 business days from the date of signing the Land Use Rights Grant Contract (i.e. by 10 July 2022).

The first and second part payments of the Consideration of RMB1,821,200,000 and RMB2,731,800,000 respectively were settled by the Tender Consortium prior to the formation of the JV Company. Subsequently, the remaining balance of the Consideration of RMB4,553,000,000 was settled by the JV Company. The Consideration has been fully settled as at the Latest Practicable Date.

  • Term of the Land Use : (1) for commercial use with a term of 40 years; Rights and uses of the (2) for offices with a term of 50 years; and Land (3) for venues and hotels with a term

  • (3) for catering venues and hotels with a term of 40 years

Formulation of the development plan for the Land is still underway, and the relevant professional parties and consultants will be appointed for the preparation of the design and construction plans of the development. It is expected that the development work will last for about 7 years from commencement of development. Together with the existing land parcel owned by SI Development, the sites are planned to be developed into an urban complex with A grade office buildings, serviced apartments, theme commercial buildings, hotels and cultural and entertainment facilities. The Tender Consortium will, in accordance with practical market conditions, make adjustments to the actual timetable of the construction and development of the Land.

BASIS FOR DETERMINING THE CONSIDERATION

The Consideration was determined by the successful bid of the Land by the Tender Consortium through listing-for-sale which was conducted in accordance with the relevant PRC laws and regulations. The Group considered the bidding price for the Land was fair after taking into account, among other things:

  • (1) the base price of the bid of RMB9,106,000,000 set by Hongkou District Planning and Natural Resources Bureau and the average floor area price of the Land of approximately RMB26,000 per square metre, which is lower than the average floor area price in the range from approximately RMB36,000 to approximately RMB45,000 per square metre of other land plots for commercial use in North Bund in recent years;

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (2) the current property market conditions in North Bund, Hongkou District, Shanghai, the PRC and areas nearby. North Bund is expected to become a new engine of growth in Shanghai, as well as the new benchmark for urban development in the new era. According to the development blueprint of the city, North Bund will become a core central business district, with a high density of office buildings and commercial facilities, along with historical and cultural regions where the historical ambiance will be fully preserved. Detailed planning has been made for the skywalks, central park, underground space, industrial functions and management for the central business district. With a substantial number of enterprises having been settled in North Bund, including those engaging in finance and shipping, the property market in North Bund is booming with a steady increase in property price in recent years; and

  • (3) the location and development potential of the Land. Along with the Lujiazui financial hub on the east bank of the river across from the Bund, the North Bund forms downtown Shanghai’s “golden triangle”. Riverside regions have already been transformed with greenery and walking paths. While the Land is located in the core area of North Bund, Hongkou District, Shanghai and in close proximity to the waterfront, which the local government aims to develop into a global central business district and in terms of expected investment returns in the future, the Land has obvious geographical advantages, thus has relatively high development potential.

No independent valuation has been taken as reference for setting the bidding price.

SI Development intends to finance the 50% of the Consideration, being the proportion of Consideration undertaken by it in the Land Acquisition, by its internal resources, shareholders’ loans and/or external borrowings.

FORMATION OF THE JV COMPANY

On 2 March 2022, SI Development, Shanghai Chengqing (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shanghai Municipal Investment) and Shanghai Beijiu (a limited partnership wholly-owned by Shanghai Construction Group) entered into the JV Agreement to set up the JV Company for the development of the Land and the related construction and business operation.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE LAND ACQUISITION AND THE FORMATION OF THE JV COMPANY

SI Development has been making efforts in researching development opportunities in the core areas of the Yangtze River Delta focusing on resources, in particular those of high quality, in these areas using Shanghai as its core. In this connection, it has been the business development strategy of SI Development to strengthen its real estate investments in core regions in the Yangtze River Delta and to participate in the development of the Yangtze River Delta with Shanghai as the centre.

The Land, which is situated at North Bund, Hongkou District, Shanghai, the PRC, is for office and hotel development and commercial uses. It is located in close proximity to other land parcels situated at North Bund which are owned and currently under development and construction by SI Development and one of its subsidiaries and the Land Acquisition is in line with the business development strategy of SI Development in real estate investment in Shanghai as stated above. It therefore creates synergy effect to the development planning of the Group in the same areas in Shanghai, and enhances the brand reputation and value of the Group in the aspect of property development.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, Shanghai Municipal Investment, Shanghai Construction Group, Hongkou District Planning and Natural Resources Bureau, Shanghai Chengqing and Shanghai Beijiu and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of and not connected with the Group and its connected persons in accordance with the Listing Rules.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The Land Acquisition, undertaken on a joint basis by the Tender Consortium and calculated by reference to 50% interest attributable to the Group, constitutes a transaction under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules as the properties to be developed on the Land will be held as investment property for recurring income. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the formation of the JV Company and the Land Acquisition (in which the capital contribution of SI Development includes the Consideration of the Land Acquisition (calculated by reference to 50% interest attributable to the Group)) exceed 25% but all are less than 100%, the formation of the JV Company and the Land Acquisition (in which the capital contribution of SI Development includes the Consideration of the Land Acquisition (calculated by reference to 50% interest attributable to the Group)) constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules, the formation of the JV Company and the Land Acquisition (in which the capital contribution of SI Development includes the Consideration of the Land Acquisition (calculated by reference to 50% interest attributable to the Group)) and the 2020 Land Acquisition are required to be aggregated as they are expected to complete within a 12-month period and are entered into by the Group with the same party/ parties who are connected with one another. Details of the 2020 Land Acquisition have already been disclosed in the announcement and circular of the Company dated 17 December 2020 and 25 February 2021, respectively.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the formation of the JV Company and the Land Acquisition (in which the capital contribution of SI Development includes the Consideration of the Land Acquisition (calculated by reference to 50% interest attributable to the Group)) in aggregate with the 2020 Land Acquisition exceed 25% but all are less than 100%, the formation of the JV Company and the Land Acquisition, when considered in aggregate with the 2020 Land Acquisition, remains as a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As one of the Group’s principal business activities is property development, the Company is regarded as a Qualified Issuer under Rule 14.04(10B) of the Listing Rules. Besides, the Land Acquisition is regarded as a Qualified Property Acquisition under Rule 14.04(10C) of the Listing Rules as it involves an acquisition of governmental land(s) from a PRC Governmental Body through listing-for-sale governed by the PRC laws (as defined under the Listing Rules), which is undertaken by the Group via the Tender Consortium jointly with Shanghai Municipal Investment and Shanghai Construction Group in its ordinary and usual course of business and which will be qualified for exemption for Qualified Property Acquisition.

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Land Acquisition was undertaken on a joint basis by the Tender Consortium prior to the formation of the JV Company. The JV Company overtook the Land Acquisition from the Tender Consortium after formation of the JV Company and the Land Acquisition has been undertaken by the Group via SI Development on a joint basis with the JV Partners ever since. According to the JV Agreement which is prepared on an arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms, the JV Company was established for the single purpose relating to the Land Acquisition and/or development of a specific property which is consistent with the purpose specified in the confirmation notification and the Land Use Rights Grant Contract relating to the Land Acquisition. The JV Agreement also contains clauses that the JV Company must not, without the unanimous consent of the JV Partners, (i) change the nature or scope of its business, and if there are changes then they must still be consistent with the scope or purpose specified in the confirmation notification and the Land Use Rights Grant Contract relating to the Land Acquisition; or (ii) enter into any transactions which are not on an arm’s length basis. Given that the JV Agreement is in compliance with Rule 14.33A of the Listing Rules, the Land Acquisition will be qualified for the exemption for a Qualified Property Acquisition under Rule 14.33A of the Listing Rules and in such case, the Land Acquisition will only be subject to reporting, announcement and circular requirements but exempt from shareholders’ approval requirement pursuant to Rule 14.33A of the Listing Rules.

RECOMMENDATION

The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the Land Acquisition and the formation of the JV Company are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. None of the Directors or their respective close associates have any material interest in the Land Use Rights Grant Contract and the JV Agreement.
