The net book value of Warehouse Co I and Warehouse Co II was approximately HK$880,804,000 and HK$748,045,000 respectively as at 31 December 2018.

5. FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSALS AND USE OF PROCEEDS

It is estimated that the gain on disposal of Sale Shares I and Sale Shares II (before deducting the related expenses) will be approximately HK$1.4 billion and HK$0.6 billion respectively. Accordingly, the total estimated gain of the Sale Shares in aggregate will be approximately HK$2 billion. Such gain is estimated mainly based on the difference between the consideration and the total net asset value of the Warehouse Companies as at 31 December 2018.

The Board intendsto applythe aggregated net proceedsfromthe Disposalsof approximately HK$3.6 billion as follows: (i) approximately HK$600 million will be used to distribute special dividend to Shareholders and (ii) the remaining approximately HK$3 billion will be used to repay and/or refinance part of the loan(s) of the Group to decrease its financing costs before any suitable investment opportunities are identified. Once the suitable investment opportunities are identified, part or all of such remaining balance will be used to invest in those suitable investment opportunities.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

6. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSALS

TheGroup operates as a leading logistics service provider inAsia principally engaged in the integrated logistics and internationalfreightforwarding businesses.The Board considers that the Disposals will monetise gainsfrom the Group’s balance sheet and allow the Group to redeploy resources into its core and fast-growing logistics businesses, where the Group can make further investments to increase coverage network, business scale and supply chain management capabilities. The Disposals will provide greater financial flexibility for the Group by reducing its net financial leverage and gearing ratios, thereby enhancing the Group’s ability to capitalise on growth opportunities. It is also beneficial to the Company to move towards a more flexible asset base globally, as the Company estimates thattherewill be a positivefinancial impactwheretheGroup’s earnings growth potential and returnon equity profile may be increased. The Company will also be able to return capital to the Shareholders by way of distribution of a special dividend. The payment of the special dividend will be adhered to the dividend policy duly approved by the Board on 11 December 2018, which sets out that the Company targets to distribute to its Shareholders approximately 30% of its core net profit for each financial year end. Pursuant to the dividend policy, any proposed distribution of dividends is subject to the discretion of the Board and the approval of the Shareholders, and special dividend will also be considered when circumstances permit. Forfurtherdetailsofthedividend policy, please referto the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018 dated 28 March 2019.

The Board also considers that the SPAs and the Disposals entered into are on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.The executive Director, Mr KUOK Khoon Hua, has declared that he together with his Associates hold more than 5% interest in KPL and therefore he has abstained from voting on relevant resolutions of the Board approving the Disposals.Apart from the foregoing and to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after having made all reasonable enquiries, as atthedateofthis circular, noneofthe Directors has a material interest inthe Disposals norwas required to abstain from voting on the board resolution approving the SPAs and the Disposals under the bye-laws of the Company.

7. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The Purchaser is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of KPL. The Purchaser Guarantor, KPL, is a substantial shareholder and a controlling shareholder of the Company. Accordingly, KPL is a connected person of the Company. As morethanoneofthe applicable percentage ratios calculated pursuantto Rule 14.07ofthe Listing Rules in respect of the Disposals are more than 5% but all applicable percentage ratios are less than 25%, the Disposals constitute discloseable and connected transactions of the Company, which would be subject to the reporting, announcement and the IndependentShareholders’ approval requirements underChapter 14 andChapter 14A of the Listing Rules. In view of the interests of KPL in the Company, KPL and its Associates will abstain from voting in relation to the resolutions approving the Disposals to be proposed at the SGM.

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

Revenue of theWarehouse Co I mainly consists of rental income and gate charge income.The revenue of the Warehouse Co I reduced from approximately HK$53.6 million for 2017 to approximately HK$50.7 million for 2018, which was mainly due to the decrease in occupancy rate of the ChaiWanWarehouse during the year. Direct operating expenses mainly comprise repair and maintenance expenses and staff costs, which dropped fromapproximatelyHK$12.2millionfor2017toapproximatelyHK$11.1millionfor2018,whichwaschieflydue to the decrease in repair works in 2018. Administrative expenses comprise the headquarter expenses such as information technology and office support service charges to the Company, which dropped from approximately HK$11.3 million for 2017 to approximately HK$9.8 million for 2018, which was in line with the decrease in revenue. Profit before taxation for 2018 was approximately HK$139.8 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$22.7 million from approximately HK$117.1 million for 2017, which was mainly attributable to the larger increase in fair value of the investment property (i.e. the Chai Wan Warehouse) of HK$110.0 million during 2018. Excluding the increase in fair value of the investment property, the operating profitfor 2018 was approximately HK$29.8 million, representing adeclineof approximately HK$0.3 millionor 1.0%.Overall, the profit after taxation (after excluding the increase infair value of the investment property) of the Warehouse Co I for 2018 was approximately HK$24.9 million, representing a decrease of approximately HK$0.2 million or 0.8% from that for the prior year.

The nature of incomes and expenses of the Warehouse Co II is similar to that of the Warehouse Co I. For 2018, the revenue increased by approximately HK$11.5 million from approximately HK$58.2 million for 2017 to approximately HK$69.7 million for 2018, which was mainly attributable to the increase in occupancy rate and increase in rental upon renewal of rental agreements with the tenants. Direct operating expenses dropped from approximately HK$11.0 million for 2017 to approximately HK$8.4 million for 2018 as a result of the reduced repair work during 2018. Administrative expenses grew from approximately HK$11.7 million for 2017 to approximately HK$13.6 millionfor 2018 and was generally in line with the increase in revenue. Profit before taxation for 2018 was approximately HK$151.7 million, representing an increase of approximately HK$53.2 million from approximately HK$98.5 million for 2017, which was chiefly as a result of the larger increase in fair value of the investment property (i.e. the Shatin Warehouse) of HK$104.0 million during 2018. Excluding the increase in fair value of the investment property, the operating profit for 2018 was approximately HK$47.7 million, representing an enhancement of approximately HK$12.2 million or 34.4%.

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

3. Reasons for and benefits of the Disposals

As stated in the letter from the Board, the Board considers that the Disposals will monetise gains from the Group’s balance sheet and allow the Group to redeploy resources into its core and fast-growing logistics businesses, where the Group can make further investments to increase coverage network, business scale and supply chain management capabilities. The Disposals will provide greater financial flexibility for the Group by reducing its net financial leverage and gearing ratios, thereby enhancing the Group’s ability to capitalise on growth opportunities. It is also beneficial to the Company to move towards a more flexible asset base globally, as the Company estimates thattherewill be a positivefinancial impactwheretheGroup’s earnings growth potential and returnon equity profile may be increased. The Company will also be able to return capital to the Shareholders by way of distribution of a special dividend.

The Board intendsto applythe aggregated net proceedsfromthe Disposalsof approximately HK$3.6 billion as follows: (i) approximately HK$600.0 million will be used to distribute special dividend to Shareholders; and (ii) the remaining approximately HK$3.0 billion will be used to repay and/or refinance part of the loan(s) of the Group to decrease its financing costs before any suitable investment opportunities are identified. Once the suitable investment opportunities are identified, part or all of such remaining balance will be used to invest in those suitable investment opportunities.

While the Group strategically is strengthening its asset portfolio in recent years, as stated in the 2018 Interim Report, it also considered different options to unleash the value of its current portfolio.The Group plans to embrace the opportunity to unlock the value of its warehouse property portfolio to provide capital for investments that offer synergetic benefits to its long-term growth. In 2018, the Group realised a number of investments, including the rail terminal business in Adelaide, the underperforming Kerry Chengdu Logistics Centre in Chengdu and a 17% interest in Kerry Express (Thailand) Limited.

Having considered the business strategy of the Group and the aforesaid realisations carried out by the Group, we are of the view that the Disposals are in line with the Group’s stated strategy and will unlock the value of the Group’s asset portfolio.

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

5. The valuation of the Warehouses

(a) Information on theValuer

The Warehouses were valued by theValuer, an independent property valuer appointed by the Company. The full text of the valuation report of theWarehouses as at 8April 2019 is set out in appendix I to the Circular. The valuation of the Warehouses as at 8 April 2019 (the “ Valuation ”) has been carried out in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards 2017 Edition published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and the requirements set out in Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules.

We have reviewedtheValuation Report and certainvaluation workingsoftheValuer and interviewedthe relevant staff of the Valuer with particular attention to: (i) the Valuer’s terms of engagement with the Company; (ii) theValuer’s qualification and experience in relation to the preparation of theValuation; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by the Valuer in performing the Valuation.

In our review of the engagement letter between the Company and the Valuer, we are satisfied that the terms of engagement between the Company and the Valuer are appropriate to the opinion the Valuer is required to give. The Valuer has confirmed that it is independent from the Company, the Warehouse Companies, KPL and their respective core connected persons, close associates and associates. We further understand that the Valuer is certified with the relevant professional qualifications required to perform the Valuation andthe person-in-chargeoftheValuation hasover 30yearsof experience in conductingvaluationof properties inthe People’s RepublicofChina and Hong Kong.We notedthattheValuer mainly carriedout itsdue diligence through management interviews and conducted its own proprietary research and has relied on publicly available information obtained through its own research as well as the financial information provided by the management of the Group.

(b) Valuation methodology

In arriving at its opinion of value, the Valuer has valued the Warehouses by adopting the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market subject to suitable adjustments between the subject properties and the comparable properties including but not limited to, location, time, size, age and maintenance standard, etc. We have discussed with the Valuer about the rationale of adopting the abovementioned valuation methodology for valuing the Warehouses. According to the Valuer, the direct comparison approach is the most appropriate valuation method for assessing the market value of the Warehouses as there is transparent and readily available market price information for warehouse properties.

After considering the reasons for the Valuer’s choice of adopting the valuation methodology for valuing the Warehouses and the current status of the Warehouses, we are of the opinion that the valuation methodology used is reasonable and acceptable in establishing the market values of the Warehouses as at 8 April 2019.

– 26 –

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

(c) Valuation bases and assumptions

In arriving at its opinion of value of the Warehouses, theValuer generally starts the process by collecting and analysing the recent transactions of the market comparables located in the vicinity of the Warehouses. In particular, the Valuer selected market comparable transactions that (i) were located in the same district or, if not available, nearby districts; (ii) were conducted during the month of theValuation Date, or if not available, as close as the Valuation Date starting from the second half of 2018. The collected comparables were then adjusted to reflect the difference between the comparables and the Warehouses in terms of, among others, location, time, size, age and maintenance standard. We have reviewed and discussed about the Valuer’s workings on the selection of the market comparables and the relevant adjustments made. We are of the view that the basis of selection of market comparables and the adjustments, including various factors (i.e. date of transaction, location, time, size, age and maintenance standard) taken into account, made for reflecting the difference betweenthe selected comparables andtheWarehouses are reasonable and relevantforthe purpose of establishing the market value of the Warehouses.The appraised value of the Warehouses after applying the direct comparison approach was then derivedfrom the estimated average unit price and grossfloor area of the Warehouses.

Taking into accountthe above,we considerthatthe bases and assumptions adopted bytheValuerforthe valuation methodology discussed above are reasonable and in line with market practices.

Based on theValuation Report, the market values of theChaiWanWarehouse and the ShatinWarehouse as at 8 April 2019 were HK$2,110.0 million and HK$1,280.0 million respectively.

Note: PursuanttotheSPA I andtheSPA II, immediately priortoCompletion,theWarehouseCo I andtheWarehouseCo II shalldistribute a dividend (the “ Relevant Distribution ”) such that the consolidated NAV of the Warehouse Co I and the Warehouse Co II (taking into account the agreed values of the Chai Wan Warehouse and the Shatin Warehouse at HK$2,270.0 million and HK$1,330.0 million respectively in substitution for the book costs of the respective property and the carrying value of plant and equipment) immediately after the Relevant Distribution shall be equal to the respective consideration of the Chai Wan Warehouse and the ShatinWarehouse (i.e. the consolidated NAV of each of theWarehouse Companies (excluding the relevant warehouse, plant and equipment) shall be nil immediately afterthe Relevant Distribution).Accordingly,the Reassessed NAVoftheWarehouseCo I and Warehouse Co II shall be adjusted for other assets and liabilities (excluding the relevant warehouse, plant and equipment) as at 31 December 2018 of approximately HK$0.9 million and HK$0.7 million respectively under the Relevant Distribution.

Appreciation in the value of the Warehouses represents the excess of the market values of the Warehouses as determined based on thevaluation prepared by theValuer as at 8April 2019 over the bookvalues of theWarehouses as shown in the respective consolidated accounts of the Warehouse Companies as at 31 December 2018.The above adjustments are relevant and necessary in arriving at the reassessed consolidated NAV of each of the Warehouse Companies,asthebookvalueoftheconsolidatedNAVofeachofWarehouseCompaniesasat31December2018has not taken into account the latest market valuation of the Warehouses as at 8 April 2019.

The reassessed consolidated NAVs of the Warehouse Co I and the Warehouse Co II, after adjusted for the Valuation and the Relevant Distribution, are approximately HK$2,112.9 million and approximately HK$1,280.3 million respectively. The total consideration of HK$3,600.0 million represents a premium of approximately HK$206.8 million or 6.1% over the total reassessed consolidated NAV of the Warehouse Companies.

– 28 –

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

Onthe basisthat (i)theConsideration is at a premiumoverthe reassessed consolidated NAVoftheWarehouse Companies, which we consider to be a commonly adopted approach in assessing thefairness of theConsideration of property holding companies; and (ii) the valuation methodologies adopted by theValuer in establishing the market values of the Warehouses are reasonable and acceptable, we consider that the basis of the Consideration is fair and reasonable.

7. Financial impacts of the Disposals

Set out below is a discussion of the effects on earnings, NAV, working capital and gearing of the Group as a result of the Disposals.

(a) Earnings

Upon Completion, theWarehouse Companies will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company.The financial results of the Warehouse Companies will therefore no longer be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group. For the year ended 31 December 2018, the consolidated net profit and the core net profit attributable to the Shareholders were approximately HK$2,439.8 million and HK$1,326.3 million, of which approximately HK$278.8 million and HK$64.8 million were contributed by the Warehouse Companies.

Furthermore, upon Completion, an one-off gain on the Disposals of approximately HK$1,972.8 million (before expenses) will be recognised, which is calculated based on the difference between the Consideration and the total book value of the Warehouses and plant and equipment of the Warehouse Companies as at 31 December 2018.

Assuming the Disposals were completed in the beginning of 2018, the consolidated net profit attributable to the Shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2018 would enhance by approximately HK$1,694.0 million or 69.4% from approximately HK$2,439.8 million to approximately HK$4,133.8 million and the core net profit attributable to the Shareholders for the year ended 31 December 2018 would decrease by approximately HK$64.8 million or 4.9% from approximately HK$1,326.3 million to approximately HK$1,261.5 million.

(b) NAV

Upon Completion, the Warehouse Companies will cease to be subsidiaries of the Company. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of the Warehouse Companies will no longer be consolidated into the consolidated statement of financial position of the Company. The NAV of the Group attributable to the Shareholders as at 31 December 2018 was approximately HK$20,043.3 million, of which approximately HK$1,628.8 million was attributable to the Warehouse Companies.

Upon Completion, the NAV of the Group attributable to the Shareholders will be enhanced by the one-off gain on the Disposals of approximately HK$1,972.8 million to approximately HK$22,016.1 million as discussed in paragraph (a) above. In addition, as the Company plans to distribute a special dividend of approximately HK$600.0 million upon Completion, the NAV of the Group after such distribution will decrease accordingly.

– 29 –

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

(c) Working capital

As at 31 December 2018, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately HK$4,305.9 million and net current assets (i.e. total current assets less total current liabilities) of approximately HK$2,565.0 million. Assuming Completion took place on 31 December 2018, the cash and bank balances of the Group would enhance by approximately HK$3,600.0 million or 83.6% to approximately HK$7,905.9 million and the net current assets of the Group would increase by approximately HK$3,580.8 million or 1.4 times to approximately HK$6,145.8 million, which is mainly attributable to the receipt of the cash Consideration of approximately HK$3,600.0 million.

As the Company plans to distribute a special dividend of approximately HK$600.0 million upon Completion, the cash and bank balances and the working capital therefore will decrease accordingly.

(d) Gearing

As at 31 December 2018, the Group’s gearing ratio, being total bank loans and overdrafts divided by equity attributable to the Shareholders excluding put options written on non-controlling interests, was approximately 45.7%.AssumingCompletion took place on 31 December 2018, due to the enhancement in the net asset value of the Group as a result of Completion, the gearing ratio of the Group would reduce by approximately 3.9% to approximately 41.8%.

As the Company plans to distribute a special dividend of approximately HK$600.0 million upon Completion, the gearing ratio will increase as a result of the drop in the NAV of the Group as explained above.

OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into account the above principal factors and reasons, we consider that the Disposals, although are not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as awhole.We are alsooftheviewthatthetermsofthe Disposals areon normal commercialterms and fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. We therefore advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend, and we ourselves recommend, the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Disposals.

Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of SOMERLEY CAPITAL LIMITED Danny Cheng Director
