LETTER FROM THE BOARD

COC Conversion:

If a change of control as set out in the MCB trust deed has occurred, any holder of the MCBs may deliver a notice to convert all or part of the MCBs it holds into Kaisa’s shares. The price at which Shares will be issued upon such conversion event will initially be the 90-trading day-volume weighted average price for the 90 trading days immediately preceding the date that is the first day of the conversion period as set out in the terms and conditions of the MCBs, subject to adjustment in the manner set out in the paragraph headed “Adjustment events” below.

Conversion price:

Subject to the terms and conditions of the MCBs, the initial MCB Conversion Price for the relevant tranches of the MCBs are as follows:

Tranche Initial MCB Conversion Price
Tranche A HK$4.75 per Share
Tranche B HK$4.75 per Share
Tranche C HK$4.75 per Share
Tranche D HK$4.05 per Share
Tranche E HK$4.05 per Share
Tranche F HK$4.05 per Share
Tranche G HK$4.05 per Share
Tranche H HK$4.05 per Share

Each of the initial MCB Conversion Prices above may be adjusted upon the occurrence of the adjustment events set out in the paragraph headed “Adjustment events” below.

The initial MCB Conversion Price of HK$4.75 per Share for Tranche A, Tranche B and Tranche C of the MCBs represents:

(a) a premium of approximately 4,103.5% over the closing price of HK$0.113 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 20 August 2024, being the date of the RSA;

(b) a premium of approximately 2,453.8% over the closing price of HK$0.186 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

(c) a premium of approximately 2,376.5% over the average closing price of HK$0.1918 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days of the Shares immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

  • 20 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The initial MCB Conversion Price of HK$4.05 per Share for Tranche D, Tranche E, Tranche F, Tranche G and Tranche H of the MCBs represents:

(a) a premium of approximately 3,484.1% over the closing price of HK$0.113 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 20 August 2024, being the date of the RSA;

(b) a premium of approximately 2,077.4% over the closing price of HK$0.186 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

(c) a premium of approximately 2,011.6% over the average closing price of HK$0.1918 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days of the Shares immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

Each of the initial MCB Conversion Prices was determined after arms' length negotiations between the Company and the AHG after taking into account, among other things, the share price performance of the Company, the assessment of acceptability of Participating Creditors towards the terms of the Restructuring with a view to achieving a sustainable capital structure and ensuring continuity in decision-making and strategic direction with a relatively stable shareholder structure to facilitate effective business operations. In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the MCB Conversion Prices, the Company has reviewed the daily closing prices of the Shares from 10 March 2023, being approximately 1.5 years prior to date of the RSA, up to and including the date of the RSA (the "Review Period"). Each of the initial MCB Conversion Prices is significantly higher than the closing prices of the Shares during the entire Review Period. The closing prices of the Shares demonstrated a general decreasing trend during the Review Period, traded between a range of HK$0.075 on 23 April 2024 and HK$0.66 on 10 March 2023, and closed at HK$0.113 on 20 August 2024, the date of the RSA. Each of the initial MCB Conversion Prices of HK$4.75 per Share for Tranche A, Tranche B and Tranche C of the MCBs and HK$4.05 per Share for Tranche D, Tranche E, Tranche F, Tranche G and Tranche H of the MCBs represents a premium of approximately 619.7% and 513.6% respectively, over the highest Share price of HK$0.66 during the Review Period, and a premium of approximately 4,103.5% and 3,484.1%

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

respectively over the closing price of HK$0.113 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 20 August 2024, being the date of the RSA. Therefore, notwithstanding the significant dilution effect of the MCB Issue, the interest of the Shareholders will not be prejudiced. The Company has noted the debt restructuring proposals of other listed issuers which have been announced involving issue of convertible bonds or mandatory convertible bonds and appreciated that the situation of each company is different in terms of the debt size and structure, business model and cashflow generation capability, shareholding structure, creditor profile and restructuring objectives. Taking into account the Company's specific circumstances, the negotiation process with the AHG, the assessment of acceptability of Participating Creditors towards the terms of the Restructuring and the amount of debt that can be equitized achieving the deleveraging objective and a sustainable capital structuring of the Company, it is believed that the terms of the MCB reflect arm's-length negotiations and the MCB Conversion Price is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Adjustment events:

Subject to the terms and conditions of the MCBs, each of the initial MCB Conversion Prices shall be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain adjustment events including:

(i) Consolidation, Subdivision, Redesignation or Reclassification: If and whenever there shall be an alteration to the nominal value of the Shares as a result of consolidation, subdivision redesignation or reclassification, the MCB Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the MCB Conversion Price in force immediately before such alteration by the following fraction:

$$
\frac{A}{B}
$$

Where:

A is the nominal amount of one Share immediately after such alteration; and
B is the nominal amount of one Share immediately before such alteration.

Such adjustment shall become effective on the date such consolidation, subdivision, redesignation or reclassification takes effect.

$$

Where:

A is the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Shares immediately before such issue; and

$$
\frac{A + B}{A + C}
$$


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Where:

A is the aggregate nominal amount of the issued Shares immediately before such issue;

(iii) Capital Distributions: If and whenever the Company shall pay or make any capital distribution to the Shareholders (except to the extent that the MCB Conversion Price falls to be adjusted under paragraph (ii) above), the MCB Conversion Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the MCB Conversion Price in force immediately before such capital distribution by the following fraction:

$$
\frac{A - B}{A}
$$

Where:

A is the Current Market Price per Share on the date on which the capital distribution is first publicly announced; and

B is the fair market value per Share.

(ii) if the Shares to be issued in such circumstances rank for the dividend in question, the closing price on the dates on which the Shares shall have been quoted ex-dividend shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof increased by the fair market value of that dividend per Share;

and provided further that if the Shares on each of the said five trading days have been quoted cum-dividend in respect of a dividend which has been declared or announced but the Shares to be issued do not rank for that dividend, the closing price on each of such dates shall for the purpose of this definition be deemed to be the amount thereof reduced by an amount equal to the fair market value of that dividend per Share.

If any doubt shall arise as to whether an adjustment falls to be made to the MCB Conversion Price or as to how an adjustment to the MCB Conversion Price under the relevant terms and conditions of the MCBs should be made, and following consultation between the Company and an independent financial advisor, a written opinion of such independent financial advisor in respect thereof shall be conclusive and binding on the Company, the holders of the MCBs and the conversion agent, save in the case of manifest error.

4. AHG WORK FEE SHARE ISSUE

In connection with the Restructuring, the Company and the members of the AHG entered into the AHG Work Fee Letter dated 20 August 2024 pursuant to which the Company has agreed to pay (or procure that another member of the Group pay) certain fees to each member of the AHG in consideration for the work undertaken by each member of the AHG in furtherance of the Restructuring and a portion of the AHG Work Fee in the aggregate amount of US$26,884,818 shall be paid by way of the allotment and issue of 2,100,000,000 Shares by the Company in accordance with the terms and conditions of the AHG Work Fee Letter.

The MCB Issue and the AHG Work Fee Share Issue are not inter-conditional. However, subject to the occurrence of the Restructuring Effective Date, both the MCB Issue and the AHG Work Fee Share Issue will occur on the Restructuring Effective Date.

Similarly, the issue of MCBs and/or New Notes and/or the completion of the Restructuring is not subject to the AHG Work Fee Share Issue. However, subject to the occurrence of the Restructuring Effective Date, all of the MCB Issue, the issue of the New Notes, the AHG Work Fee Share Issue and completion of the Restructuring will all occur on the Restructuring Effective Date.

The AHG Work Fee Shares

The 2,100,000,000 Shares represent:

(i) approximately 29.9% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; and
(ii) approximately 23.0% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of such AHG Work Fee Shares.

  • 40 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The AHG Work Fee Shares have an aggregate nominal value of HK$210,000,000 and market value of HK$237,300,000 based on the closing price of HK$0.113 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the date of the AHG Work Fee Letter.

Ranking of the AHG Work Fee Shares

The AHG Work Fee Shares, when allotted and issued, will be free of all encumbrances and rank pari passu in all respects with the Shares in issue on the date of allotment and issue of the AHG Work Fee Shares.

Issue price of the AHG Work Fee Shares

The AHG Work Fee Shares will be allotted and issued at the price of HK$0.1 per Share. Such price represents:

(i) a discount of approximately 11.5% to the closing price of HK$0.113 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 20 August 2024, being the date of the AHG Work Fee Letter;

(ii) a discount of approximately 8.6% to the average closing price of HK$0.1094 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days of the Shares immediately preceding 20 August 2024, being the date of the AHG Work Fee Letter;

(iii) a discount of approximately 46.2% to the closing price of HK$0.186 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date; and

(iv) a discount of approximately 47.9% to the average closing price of HK$0.1918 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the five consecutive trading days of the Shares immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

The issue price was determined with reference to the prevailing market price with a discount of approximately 10% to the average closing price of HK$0.1094 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days immediately preceding the date of the AHG Work Fee Letter and was negotiated on an arm's length basis between the Company and the members of the AHG. The Board is of the view that the approximately 10% discount is not a significant discount as compared to the then prevailing market price and the issue price of the AHG Work Fee Shares is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has noted the debt restructuring proposal announced by another listed issuer involving payment of work fee to an ad hoc group of creditors through allotment and issue of equity-linked instruments and understood that the Company's current proposal of

  • 41 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

the payment of part of the AHG Work Fee by way of an allotment and issue of shares is not the only announced case in the market among PRC real estate companies' debt restructuring cases where work fee would be paid to an ad hoc group of creditors by way of the allotment and issue of shares or equity-linked instruments. The Company however appreciated that the situation of each company is different in terms of the amount of the fees that needs to be paid to the ad hoc group of creditors after negotiations, the liquidity and financial situation, and the restructuring objectives. Taking into account the Company's specific circumstances and the payment of the AHG Work Fee partially by the allotment and issue of the AHG Work Fee Shares thereby creating less cash flow pressure on the Group, it is believed that the terms of the AHG Work Fee Share Issue reflect arm's-length negotiations, and the issue price of the AHG Work Fee Shares is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Conditions to the AHG Work Fee Share Issue

The AHG Work Fee Share Issue is conditional upon the following conditions being satisfied:

(a) the conditions precedent to the Restructuring having been satisfied (or waived);

(b) the passing of necessary resolutions by the Shareholders at the EGM approving the AHG Work Fee Share Issue and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and

(c) the granting of the approval for the listing of and permission to deal in the AHG Work Fee Shares by the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange.

The AHG Work Fee Share Issue will not occur if any of the conditions above is not satisfied. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions has been satisfied.

Completion

The AHG Work Fee Shares shall be arranged to be allotted and issued to each member of the AHG in accordance with its relevant share (with the delivery of the relevant physical share certificate(s) to each AHG Member's designated holder(s) on the Restructuring Effective Date), following which the remaining amount of the AHG Work Fee payable by the Company shall be reduced by an amount that is equal to US$26,884,818.

Application for listing

An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the AHG Work Fee Shares.

Specific Mandate

The Company will seek at the EGM the Specific Mandate from the Shareholders for the allotment and issue of the AHG Work Fee Shares. The AHG Work Fee Share Issue and the transactions contemplated thereunder are subject to the passing of necessary resolutions by the Shareholders at the EGM.

5. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY

The Company is engaged in investment holding and the Group is principally engaged in property development, property investment, property management, hotel and catering operations, cultural centre operations and healthcare operations in the People's Republic of China.

6. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE POSSIBLE TRANSACTIONS IN CONNECTION WITH THE RESTRUCTURING

Overview of the Group's financial situation

Starting from the second half of 2021, the real estate sector in China has experienced significant changes and real estate developers have been confronted with unprecedented challenges with regard to liquidity and funding. Under these circumstances, the Group has responded in a proactive manner by continuously adopting measures, such as accelerating sales and cash collection, making progress with asset disposals and strictly controlling costs and expenses, in an effort to repay the debts. Since 2023, in the circumstances where the industry sales and financing environment have not been notably improved, the Group has experienced a rapid decline in contracted sales and increased uncertainty in asset disposals and has continuously faced limitations in various financing activities. In response to mounting liquidity pressures, the Group has been in active dialogues with its creditors and endeavoured to proactively manage its liabilities. Despite these efforts, the Group's liquidity is still expected to be confronted with continuous challenges in the short-to-medium term. As disclosed in the Company's announcements, a winding-up petition has been issued against the Company in relation to the Company's non-payment of certain existing indebtedness i.e. the Hong Kong Proceeding. With the significant progress made in the Restructuring (as articulated in this circular), the hearing of the Hong Kong Proceeding has been adjourned to 31 March 2025.

As set out in the interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2024, as at 30 June 2024, the Group had unaudited interest bearing bank and other borrowings in principal amount of RMB135,078.4 million, of which (i) RMB17,474.3 million were classified as non-current borrowings and (ii) RMB117,604.1 million were classified as current borrowings. Further details of the indebtedness situation of the Company as at 30 June 2024 are set out in the interim report of the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2024 and published on the websites of the Stock Exchange and the Company on 30 September 2024.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The scope of the Restructuring covers the In-Scope Debt, with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of approximately US$12.27 billion (or approximately RMB87.44 billion) plus accrued interests. The In-Scope Debt of US$12.27 billion (or approximately RMB87.44 billion) comprises the Company's obligations as primary issuer of US$11.50 billion (or approximately RMB81.95 billion), the perpetual securities issued by the Company and recorded under equity of US$0.2 billion (or approximately RMB1.43 billion) and the Company's obligations as guarantor of US$0.57 billion (or approximately RMB4.06 billion). Details of the creditors of such indebtedness are set out in the section headed "9. INFORMATION ON THE IN-SCOPE DEBT" below.

The liabilities of the Company and other Obligors under such In-Scope Debt will be fully released and discharged upon the distribution of the Restructuring Consideration to the Scheme Creditors on the Restructuring Effective Date consisting of New Notes and MCBs.

In addition to the release of the Perpetual Securities (which has been accounted for as equity in the Group's balance sheet) in principal amount of US$0.2 billion (or approximately RMB1.43 billion) and the Company's obligations as guarantor of US$0.57 billion (or approximately RMB4.06 billion) under the Restructuring, the following debts in the Group's balance sheet (all of which are now regarded as current liabilities) will also be released and discharged under the Restructuring:

RMB'000 US$'000
Senior Notes 81,776,288 11,474,475
Bank Borrowings 175,897 24,681
Sub-total 81,952,185 11,499,156
Accrued Interests as of 30 June 2024 24,587,467 3,450,001
Total 106,539,652 14,949,157

As mentioned above, as at 30 June 2024, the Group had unaudited interest bearing bank and other borrowings in principal amount of RMB135,078.4 million. After deducting the debts in the Group's balance sheet to be released and discharged in the principal amount of RMB81,952.2 million as set out in the table above, the remaining debts in the Group's balance sheet would amount to approximately RMB53,126.2 million in principal amount. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group is in the process of undergoing separate negotiations and/or agreeing amendments and settlement terms with the relevant creditors, or the relevant debts have already been restructured and are not in default.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Restructuring

Against the above backdrop, the Group believes the optimal path forward is a holistic restructuring of its offshore debts. Over the past few months, the Company and members of the AHG, together with their respective advisers, have been engaged in constructive dialogue towards a consensual Restructuring. On 20 August 2024, the Company entered into the RSA with the AHG.

The RSA sets forth the terms of the Restructuring. The contemplated Restructuring is intended to (i) provide the Company with a mid to long-term runway to stabilize the business; (ii) allow adequate financial flexibility to achieve a sustainable capital structure and enhance its net asset value; and (iii) protect the rights and interests, and maximize value, for all stakeholders.

As disclosed in the Company's announcement dated 16 September 2024, as at 13 September 2024, holders of approximately 75.11% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Kaisa In-Scope Debt and approximately 81.07% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Rui Jing In-Scope Debt have acceded to the RSA. Following the exclusion of certain debts from the Kaisa In-Scope Debt, details of which are set out in the section headed "9. INFORMATION ON THE IN-SCOPE DEBT" in this circular, such holders would represent approximately 79.22% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Kaisa In-Scope Debt and approximately 81.07% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Rui Jing In-Scope Debt.

The Company proposed to implement the Restructuring through the Schemes, the effect of which is that all claims of the Scheme Creditors under the In-Scope Debt will be fully released and discharged upon the distribution of the Restructuring Consideration to the Scheme Creditors on the Restructuring Effective Date consisting of New Notes and MCBs.

No net proceeds will be received by the Group from the distribution of the Restructuring Consideration. The Restructuring Consideration will be distributed in exchange for releases of the In-Scope Debt in connection with the Restructuring (among other things), thereby reducing the overall debt size and debt pressure of the Group, enhancing its net asset value and improving the financial position of the Company. Upon completion of the Restructuring, the Perpetual Securities in principal amount of US$0.2 billion (or approximately RMB1.43 billion) and the Company's obligations as guarantor of US$0.57 billion (or approximately RMB4.06 billion) will be released in exchange for New Notes and MCBs. In addition, upon completion of the Restructuring, the indebtedness of the Company in the principal amount of US$11.50 billion (or approximately RMB81.95 billion) plus 50% of all accrued and unpaid interest (but excluding any default interest and other fees and charges) on such indebtedness up to (but excluding) the Kaisa Reference Date, all of which are now regarded as current liabilities of the Company, will, subject to the terms of the Restructuring, also be exchanged for New Notes and MCBs which, with a term of longer than one year, will be recorded under non-current liabilities of the Company (subject to earlier conversion of the MCBs and review by the auditors),


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

thereby improving the liquidity of the Company. The MCB Issue and the AHG Work Fee Share Issue would also increase the capital base through the issue of Shares and help the Company achieve a sustainable capital structure.

Through the payment of the AHG Work Fee partially by the allotment and issue of the AHG Work Fee Shares, less cash flow pressure will be created on the Group. At the same time, the allotment and issue of the AHG Work Fee Shares can enlarge the shareholders' base of the Company which may in turn enhance the liquidity of the Shares. Although the relative shareholding in the Company of the existing Shareholders would be diluted as a result of the conversion of the MCBs and the allotment and issue of the AHG Work Fee Shares, the Board is of the view that it would be in the best interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole if the capital deficiency of the Group would be significantly reduced as a result of the completion of the Restructuring.

In addition, the claims related to the Hong Kong Proceeding form part of the In-Scope Debt which would be discharged upon completion of the Restructuring. Pursuant to and subject to the terms of the RSA, each Participating Creditor that instructed the existing trustee of the Existing Securities to commence the Hong Kong Proceeding has agreed to instruct the trustee to, among other things, promptly upon the occurrence of the Restructuring Effective Date, apply for the dismissal and/or withdrawal of the Hong Kong Proceeding or consent to the Company's application for a dismissal of the Hong Kong Proceeding.

The Company currently has limited available cash and, should the Restructuring not proceed, would be unable to repay its overdue indebtedness under and in connection with the In-Scope Debt. Unless the Company is able to satisfy itself that an alternative financial restructuring is likely to be successful (which the Company considers very unlikely given the time and cost of negotiating the Restructuring) it is likely that the Company and other members of the Group will enter into liquidation or other appropriate insolvency proceedings.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms and conditions of the MCB Issue and the AHG Work Fee Share Issue are fair and reasonable based on the current market conditions and are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

None of the Directors has a material interest in the MCB Issue and the AHG Work Fee Share Issue. None of the Directors is required to abstain from voting on the board resolutions in relation to the MCB Issue or the AHG Work Fee Share Issue.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

by BEA Trustees. BEA Trustees is the trustee of 970,533,735 Shares under a family trust of which Mr. Kwok Ying Shing is the founder and a beneficiary of the trust. Mr. Kwok Ying Shing was deemed to be interested in these Shares by virtue of the SFO.

  1. 963,503,287 Shares were held by Da Zheng Investment Company Limited, which was wholly owned by the brother of Mr. Kwok Ying Shing.

  2. 1,537,696,106 Shares were held directly or indirectly by Funde Sino Life Insurance Co., Ltd., of which 887,995,149 Shares were held by Fund Resources Investment Holding Group Company Limited, which was wholly owned by Funde Sino Life Insurance Co., Ltd, and 649,700,957 Shares were held by Funde Sino Life Insurance Co., Ltd.

  3. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, upon the Restructuring Effective Date, each of the holders of the MCBs will be independent of the Company and connected persons of the Company and will be a member of the public as defined in Rule 8.24 of the Listing Rules.

  4. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, upon the Restructuring Effective Date, each of the members of the AHG will be independent of the Company and connected persons of the Company and will be a member of the public as defined in Rule 8.24 of the Listing Rules.

  5. All of these Shareholders are members of the public as defined in Rule 8.24 of the Listing Rules as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Under the terms of the MCBs, conversion of the MCBs will not be subject to public float requirements under the Listing Rules. However, to the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, based on the disclosure of interests filings on the Company that were publicly available on the Disclosure of Interests Online (DION) System, no Scheme Creditor had reported any notifiable interest in 5% or more of the shares of the Company under Part XV of the SFO. Based on the shareholding table above, it is expected that the public float of the Company upon full conversion of the MCBs will be over 80% of the issued share capital of the Company. In addition, as can be seen from the shareholding table above, holders of MCBs alone already constitute approximately 60% of the issued share capital of the Company upon full conversion of the MCBs. Based on information currently available to the Company, there were over 2,203 Scheme Creditors as at the Latest Practicable Date. Therefore, based on such currently available information and barring unforeseen circumstances, the Company is of the view that conversion of the MCBs is unlikely to affect the public float compliance of the Company. The Company will take appropriate steps to ensure that the minimum percentage of public float prescribed by the Stock Exchange is complied with, including designating relevant personnel of the Group to closely monitor the public float situation of the Company. In the unlikely event that the public float percentage falls below the minimum percentage prescribed by the Stock Exchange, the Company will take appropriate steps (including but not limited to placement of Shares) to ensure that a sufficient public float exists for the Shares.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If any person, together with parties acting in concert (within the meaning of the Takeovers Code) with him, would acquire 30% or more of the voting rights of the Company following the conversion of the MCBs, he may incur an obligation to make a general offer for all the issued Shares and other securities of the Company not already owned or agreed to be acquired by him and parties acting in concert with him under the Takeovers Code. If there is any doubt, Scheme Creditors should consult their own professional advisers.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had no outstanding convertible securities, options or warrants in issue or similar rights which confer any right to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares or any agreement or arrangement other than the AHG Work Fee Letter and the MCBs as detailed in this circular, the 139,584,145 share options granted under the 2009 Share Option Scheme and the maximum number of 596,989,598 share options that may be granted under the 2019 Share Option Scheme.
