ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE TERMINATION OF THE CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE SALE AND PURCHASE OF THE ENTIRE INTERESTS IN COASTLINE INTERNATIONAL LIMITED

Reference is made to the announcement issued by the Company dated 12 August 2016 in relation to the Coastline Transaction (the “ Announcement ”). Unless the context requires otherwise, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement.

As disclosed in the Announcement, pursuant to the Coastline SPA, Armada Property shall be permitted to solicit, discuss and negotiate a sale of the Sale Shares with any third party during the Go-Shop Period provided that, if by the end of the Go-Shop Period, no binding Third Party Agreement is entered into, all such solicitation, discussion and negotiation shall cease immediately. However, the Coastline SPA shall terminate immediately upon Armada Property entering into a Third Party Agreement with the Third Party Purchaser.

Further, upon being notified of a bona fide offer made by a potential Third Party Purchaser to Armada Property, Wealth Luck shall have a right to match any higher offer made by such potential Third Party Purchaser by notifying Armada Property within the requisite time period.

During the Go-Shop Period (which ended on 2 September 2016), the highest offer received by Armada Property from a Third Party Purchaser was HK$990,000,000. After careful consideration, Wealth Luck decided not to match such highest offer made by the Third Party Purchaser. Accordingly, Armada Property entered into a Third Party Agreement with the Third Party Purchaser on 2 September 2016 and the Coastline SPA was immediately terminated on the same date pursuant to the terms of the Coastline SPA.

The Board considers that the decision to terminate the Coastline SPA is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
