To the Shareholders
Dear Sir/Madam,
MAJOR TRANSACTION – DISPOSAL OF SUBSIDIARY
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 26 August 2010 in relation to the Agreement pursuant to which the Vendor, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, agreed to sell to the Purchaser the Sale Shares, representing 100% interest in the Target Company to the Vendor at a total consideration of RMB1.0 billion (HK$1.16 billion), subject to adjustment. In addition, the Purchaser has also agreed to settle the Debt subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement.
The purpose of this circular is to give you further details about the Disposal.
* For identification purposes only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
AGREEMENT
Date: 26 August 2010 Parties: (1) Vendor : Jie Feng Investment Company Limited (2) Purchaser : Shengyu (BVI) Limited (3) Target Company : China Agriculture Technology Limited
The Disposal
The Target Company is owned as to 100% by the Vendor as at the date of this circular. The Vendor has conditionally agreed to the sale of the Sale Shares, representing 100% interest in the Target Company, and to the settlement of the Debt with the Purchaser.
Upon completion of the Disposal, members of the Target Group will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company.
Consideration
The consideration for the disposal of the Sale Shares shall be RMB1.0 billion, subject to adjustment, which shall be satisfied by the Purchaser in cash in the following manner:
-
(a) the sum of RMB600 million (the “ Deposit ”) to be paid to the Vendor and/or its affiliates within three Business Days after the date of signing of the Agreement; and
-
(b) the sum of RMB400 million to be paid to the Vendor and/or its affiliates on the Closing Date.
The Purchaser has also agreed to settle the Debt by paying the sum of RMB900 million (“ the Relevant Amount ”) to the Designated Account on the Closing Date.
The Vendor and the Purchaser agreed to procure Guangzhou Jiasui to apply the Relevant Amount to settle the BOC Loan, the Inter-company Loan and the Development Costs.
Adjustment to the consideration
The consideration of the Disposal may be subject to upward or downward adjustments as follows:
- (a) in the event that, after the Settlement Date but before the deduction of the Security Deposit, the balance in the Designated Account after settlement of the BOC Loan and the Inter-company Loan is insufficient to settle the outstanding amount of the Development Costs payable prior to the Settlement Date, the Vendor shall pay the shortfall amount to the Purchaser; and
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- (b) in the event that, after the Settlement Date but before the deduction of the Security Deposit, the balance in the Designated Account after settlement of the BOC Loan and the Inter-company Loan exceeds the outstanding amount of the Development Costs payable prior to the Settlement Date, the Purchaser shall pay the excess amount to the Vendor.
The consideration for the Disposal was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser with reference to the prevailing real estate market conditions in Guangzhou, the PRC, the book value of the total amount of the Debt outstanding as at the date of the Agreement, the estimated total costs and expenses to be incurred prior to the completion of the Guangzhou Kaisa Project and the prevailing tax regulations applicable to the Disposal.
The Directors are of the view that the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the consideration, are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Company estimates that the amount of liability incurred or to be incurred by the Target Company in connection with the Guangzhou Kaisa Project was approximately RMB970 million and that the amount of Debt was approximately RMB900 million as at 26 August 2010 and the Latest Practicable Date.
The Company estimates that the amount of Security Deposit was below RMB30 million as at 26 August 2010 and the Latest Practicable Date.
The Security Deposit would be deducted from the Relevant Amount deposited by the Purchaser to the Designated Account, and in the event that there is any shortfall of the Relevant Amount to satisfy, among other things, the Security Deposit, the consideration of the Disposal may be subject to downward adjustment as described above.
As the construction work of Guangzhou Kaisa Project is close to completion and all major building contracts relating thereto have been executed, the Company expects that no major unforeseen costs will be incurred from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of completion of the Guangzhou Kaisa Project. Although the consideration of the Disposal may be subject to adjustments, the Company believes that it is highly unlikely that the Company will be required to pay any significant shortfall amount to the Purchaser as a result of any downward adjustment to the consideration of the Disposal based on the current estimates of the Development Costs.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Conditions Precedent
Completion is conditional upon the following matters:
-
(a) full discharge of the Share Charge on the relevant Sale Shares and the Corporate Guarantee upon the date of transfer of the Sale Shares; and
-
(b) the Vendor has not received any written notice from the Purchaser within 14 Business Days from the date of the Agreement, stating that the Purchaser is not satisfied with the due diligence results.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, condition (b) above has been fulfilled.
Transfer of Sale Shares
Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent and the full payment of the consideration under the Agreement, the transfer of the Sale Shares shall take place on the Closing Date.
Guarantee by the Company and Evergrande
Each of the Company and Evergrande has irrevocably and unconditionally guaranteed, as a continuing obligation, the due and punctual performance and observance by the Vendor (in the case of the Company) and the Purchaser (in the case of Evergrande) of all of its obligations contained in the Agreement.
The guarantee provided by each of the Company and Evergrande shall constitute a continuing guarantee and shall remain in force until the obligations of the Vendor or the Purchaser, as the case may be, are fully discharged under the Agreement.
Termination
The Agreement may be terminated upon, among other matters, mutual agreement of the parties to the Agreement. In the event that the due diligence results of the Target Group are different from the disclosures made in the Agreement in any material aspect, the Purchaser will have the right to terminate the Agreement, upon which the Deposit shall be refunded to the Purchaser. In addition, in the event that any party to the Agreement fails to perform its obligations under the Agreement, the defaulting party shall pay an amount of RMB600 million to the non-defaulting party.
INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP AND GUANGZHOU KAISA PROJECT
As at the date of this Agreement, the Vendor is holding the entire issued capital of the Target Company, which in turn holds the entire interest in Huidong Agriculture. Huidong Agriculture is holding the entire equity interest in Huidong Investment, which in turn holds the entire equity interest in Guangzhou Jiasui. The Target Company, Huidong Agriculture and Huidong Investment are all investment holding companies.
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Guangzhou Jiasui is a limited liability company established in the PRC on 31 May 2006 and is indirectly wholly owned by the Vendor as at the date of this circular. The registered capital of Guangzhou Jiasui is RMB10 million. Guangzhou Jiasui is principally engaged in property development.
Guangzhou Kaisa Plaza is located in Guangzhou’s central business district in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, the PRC and occupies an aggregate site area of approximately 7,106 sq.m. with an existing saleable area of approximately 92,783 sq.m. Guangzhou Kaisa Plaza is expected to be a commercial project which comprises primarily one high-rise office building with retail space. The development of Guangzhou Kaisa Plaza commenced in July 2008 and the project is expected to be completed in December 2010.
Financial information on the Target Group
The following information is extracted from the unaudited proforma consolidated financial statements of the Target Group for the financial years ended 31 December 2008 and 31 December 2009:
| For the year ended | For the year ended | |
|---|---|---|
| 31 December | ||
| (unaudited) | ||
| 2008 | 2009 | |
| RMB | RMB | |
| Turnover | Nil | Nil |
| Profit/Loss before taxation | (3,509,131) | (3,215,988) |
| Profit/Loss after taxation | (3,449,109) | (3,168,135) |
| Net assets as of 31 December | 13,950,274 | 10,810,114 |
The Target Group recorded unaudited consolidated net deficits of approximately RMB219,284 as at 30 June 2010.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL
After taking into account the consideration of the Disposal, the value of the Debt, the cost of investment in Guangzhou Kaisa Project by the Group and the related transaction costs, it is estimated that a gain of approximately RMB825 million will be recorded by the Group as a result of the Disposal. It is expected that the total assets of the Group will be increased by approximately RMB368 million and the total liabilities of the Group will be decreased by approximately RMB457 million. Given that the Disposal is transacted by way of equity interest transfer, the Disposal will therefore not trigger PRC local taxes including business tax at 5% and land appreciation tax calculated at progressive rates ranging 30% to 60% under the prevailing tax rules and regulations.

The Directors Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd Suite 2001, 20th Floor Two International Finance Centre 8 Finance Street Central Hong Kong
Dear Sirs,
In accordance with the instructions from Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) for us to value the property located in the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”), we confirm that we have carried out an inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of value of property as at 31 August 2010 for public circular purpose.
Our valuation of the property is our opinion of its market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently, and without compulsion”.
– II-1 –
APPENDIX II
VALUATION REPORT ON GUANGZHOU KAISA PLAZA
The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by specifically terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, joint ventures, management agreements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value. The market value of a property is also estimated without regard to costs of sale and purchase, and without offset for any associated taxes.
In the course of our valuation of the property in the PRC, unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the property for its specific term at nominal annual land use fee have been granted and that any land grant premium payable has already been fully paid. We have also assumed that, unless otherwise stated, the owner of the property has a proper legal title and has free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the property for the whole of the unexpired term as granted.
In the course of our valuation, we have valued the property on the basis that it will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposal provided to us. We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the development proposal have been obtained. In arriving at our opinion of value, we have adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to the comparable market transactions as available in the markets and have also taken into account the construction costs to be expended to reflect the quality of the completed development.
We have been provided with extracts of documents in relation to the title of the property. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendments which may not appear on the extracts handed to us. In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Company and its PRC legal adviser, King & Wood, regarding the title of the property. We have also accepted advice on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, development proposal, construction cost, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on the information contained in the documents provided to us and are therefore only approximations. No on-site measurements have been taken. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company which is material to our valuation. We were also advised by the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view.
We have inspected the exterior of the property. During the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. However, no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report whether the property is free from rot, infestation and any other defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services.
– II-2 –
APPENDIX II
VALUATION REPORT ON GUANGZHOU KAISA PLAZA
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.
We have valued the property in accordance with all the requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and The HKIS Valuation Standards on Properties (First Edition 2005) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
Unless otherwise stated, all money amounts stated in our report are in Renminbi (“RMB”).
We enclose herewith our valuation certificate.
