Accordingly, the Offer will be subject to disclosure and other procedural requirements, including with respect to withdrawal rights, offer timetable, settlement procedures and timing of payments that are different from those applicable under U.S. domestic tender offer procedures and law.

The receipt of cash pursuant to the Offer by a U.S. holder of OOIL Shares may be a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes and under applicable state and local, as well as foreign and other tax laws. Each holder of OOIL Shares is urged to consult his/her/its independent professional adviser immediately regarding the tax consequences of acceptance of the Offer.

In accordance with the Code and Rule 14e-5(b) of the U.S. Exchange Act, UBS and its affiliates may continue to act as exempt principal traders in the OOIL Shares on the Stock Exchange. These purchases may occur either in the open market at prevailing prices or in private transactions at negotiated prices, provided that (i) any such purchase or arrangement complies with applicable law and is made outside the United States and (ii) if applicable, the Offer Price is increased to match any consideration paid in any such purchase or arrangement. Any information about such purchases will be reported to the SFC and, to the extent made public by the SFC, will be available on the website of the SFC at http://www.sfc.hk.

In addition, as the OOIL Shares to be acquired by SIPG Offeror contribute to public float, this arrangement can help with the intention to retain the listing status of OOIL, which helps support Hong Kong as a global maritime centre.

12. Intentions of the Joint Offerors with regard to OOIL

Container shipping business will remain COSCO SHIPPING Offeror Group's most important core businesses and most important strategic focus. After the completion of the Offer, the Joint Offerors intends to retain the listing status of OOIL, and maintain OOIL’s global headquarters functions and presence in Hong Kong and continue to support Hong Kong as a global maritime center. The Joint Offerors are committed to the continuity and stability of OOIL management team, business, operations, and global service network as a whole after closing of the Offer. As such, the Joint Offerors intend to keep the existing OOIL branding so that the Joint Offerors and OOIL can provide customers with more diversified product offerings and better service experience, as both parties explore ways to achieve synergies and better operational efficiency.

13. Maintaining the listing status of OOIL

The Joint Offerors intend to maintain the listing of OOIL Shares on the Stock Exchange following closing of the Offer.

If less than 25 per cent. of OOIL Shares are held by the public or if the Stock Exchange believes (i) that a false market exists or may exist in the trading of OOIL Shares or (ii) that there are insufficient OOIL Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market, the Stock Exchange may consider exercising its discretion to suspend trading in OOIL Shares. In such connection, the Joint Offerors and OOIL undertake to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure restoration of the minimum percentage of OOIL Shares to public hands within a specified period which is acceptable to the Exchange.

The Joint Offerors do not intend to exercise any rights to compulsorily acquire any OOIL Shares in respect of which the Offer is not accepted.

14. Effect of accepting the Offer

By validly accepting the Offer, Qualifying OOIL Shareholders will sell to the Joint Offerors their tendered OOIL Shares free from all liens, charges, encumbrances, rights of pre-emption and any other third party rights of any nature and together with all rights attaching to them as at the Offer Closing Date.

15. Irrevocable undertaking

As at the date of this announcement, COSCO SHIPPING Offeror, COSCO SHIPPING Holdings and China COSCO SHIPPING have entered into an irrevocable undertaking with the Controlling Shareholder which agreed to tender, or procure the tender of, all of the IU Shares being 429,950,088 OOIL Shares owned by them in favour of the Offer (representing approximately 68.7 per cent. of the issued share capital of OOIL as at the Last Trading Date). Further information on the Irrevocable Undertaking is set out in Part B of this announcement.

As at the date of this announcement, apart from the Irrevocable Undertaking, the Joint Offerors and their Concert Parties have not received any indication or irrevocable commitment from any OOIL Shareholder to accept or reject the Offer.

16. Confirmation of financial resources

Assuming that the Offer is accepted in full, the financial resources required by the Joint Offerors to satisfy the consideration payable under the Offer will amount to approximately HK$ 49,231.2 million. As at the date of this announcement, COSCO SHIPPING Offeror is financing the entire amount of the consideration from external debt financing, SIPG Offeror will contribute its portion of the consideration as set out in the section headed “Consortium Agreement - Allocation Proportion” below from external debt financing and/or internal resources, in which case COSCO SHIPPING Offeror’s contribution to the consideration will reduce proportionately. UBS, financial adviser to the Joint Offerors, is satisfied that sufficient financial resources are available to COSCO SHIPPING Offeror to satisfy full acceptance of the Offer.

17. Hong Kong stamp duty

Seller’s ad valorem stamp duty at the rate of 0.1 per cent. of the value of the consideration arising on acceptance of the Offer will be payable by the Qualifying OOIL Shareholders who accept the Offer insofar as their shares are registered on the Hong Kong Branch Register of OOIL. The relevant amount of stamp duty payable by the relevant Qualifying OOIL Shareholders will be deducted from the consideration payable to such Qualifying OOIL Shareholders under the Offer. Each of the Joint Offerors will bear its own portion of buyer’s ad valorem stamp duty at the rate of 0.1 per cent. of the consideration payable in respect of relevant acceptances of the Offer and will be responsible to account to the Stamp Office of Hong Kong for all the stamp duty payable for the sale and purchase of the relevant OOIL Shares which are validly tendered for acceptance under the Offer.

18. Overseas shareholders

The making of the Offer to Qualifying OOIL Shareholders who are citizens, residents or nationals of jurisdictions outside Hong Kong may be subject to the laws of the relevant

jurisdictions. Such Qualifying OOIL Shareholders may be prohibited or affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions and it is the responsibility of each such Qualifying OOIL Shareholder who wishes to accept the Offer to satisfy himself/herself/itself as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange control or other consents, or filing and registration requirements which may be required to comply with all necessary formalities or legal or regulatory requirements and the payment of any transfer or other taxes due from such Qualifying OOIL Shareholder in such relevant jurisdictions.

Any acceptance by any Qualifying OOIL Shareholder will be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty from such Qualifying OOIL Shareholder to the Joint Offerors and OOIL that all local laws and requirements have been complied with and that the Offer can be accepted by such Qualifying OOIL Shareholder lawfully under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction. Qualifying OOIL Shareholders should consult their professional advisers if in doubt.

In the event that the despatch of the Composite Document to overseas Qualifying OOIL Shareholders is prohibited by any relevant law or may only be effected after compliance with conditions or requirements that are unduly burdensome, subject to the Executive’s waivers, the Composite Document will not be despatched to such overseas Qualifying OOIL Shareholders. The Joint Offerors will apply for such waivers as may be required by the Executive pursuant to Note 3 to Rule 8 of the Code at such time.

19. Settlement of consideration

Settlement of the consideration under the Offer will be made as soon as possible, but in any event within seven business days (as defined in the Code) of (i) the date of receipt of a complete and valid acceptance in respect of the Offer or (ii) the Offer Unconditional Date, whichever is the later.

20. Interests in OOIL Shares and derivatives

Undertaking by COSCO SHIPPING Offeror

PART D: GENERAL

1. Independent Board Committee and independent financial adviser

The Independent Board Committee comprising Mr. Simon Murray, Mr. Chow Philip Yiu Wah, Professor Wong Yue Chim Richard, Mr. Cheng Wai Sun Edward and Mr. Kwok King Man Clement has been established for the purpose of making a recommendation to the Qualifying OOIL Shareholders as to whether the Offer is fair and reasonable and as to acceptance.

The Independent Board Committee comprises all the independent non-executive OOIL Directors who

have no direct or indirect interest in the Offer, other than as an OOIL Shareholder. The Independent Board Committee excludes the non-executive OOIL Director, Professor Roger King, who is connected to the Controlling Shareholder. Professor Roger King is the brother-in-law of Mr. Tung Chee Hwa who has an interest in a trust which has an indirect interest in the Controlling Shareholder.

2. Implications under the Listing Rules for COSCO SHIPPING Holdings

As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Offer exceeds 100%, the Offer, if materialised, will constitute a very substantial acquisition for COSCO SHIPPING Holdings under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

An extraordinary general meeting of COSCO SHIPPING Holdings will be held to consider, and if thought fit, pass the resolutions to approve the Offer. A circular containing, amongst other things, details of the Offer will be despatched to COSCO SHIPPING Holdings Shareholders on or before 30 November 2017 as additional time is required to prepare the information in the circular.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the directors of COSCO SHIPPING Holdings, having made all reasonable enquiry, the Controlling Shareholder and their ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of COSCO SHIPPING Holdings and its connected persons.

The directors (including the independent non-executive directors) of COSCO SHIPPING Holdings believe that the terms and conditions of the Offer and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interest of COSCO SHIPPING Holdings Shareholders as a whole. China COSCO SHIPPING has irrevocably undertaken to OOIL to procure COSCO Group to vote all of its COSCO SHIPPING Holdings Shares (currently being 4,645,229,644 COSCO SHIPPING Holdings Shares) in favour of the resolutions in respect of the Offer at the extraordinary general meeting of COSCO SHIPPING Holdings. As at the date of this announcement, COSCO Group holds approximately 45.47% of the issued share capital of the COSCO SHIPPING Holdings.

3. Other regulatory implications

The Joint Offerors and OOIL will together take all necessary steps, including the Joint Offerors taking any accommodation and mitigation actions, to procure the approval or clearance by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States in relation to the Offer.

4. Dealings disclosure

In accordance with Rule 3.8 of the Code, associates (including persons holding 5 per cent. or more of a class of relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 to the Code)) of OOIL and the Joint Offerors are hereby reminded to disclose their dealings in OOIL Shares pursuant to the requirements of the Code.

In accordance with Rule 3.8 of the Code, reproduced below is the full text of Note 11 to Rule 22 of the

Code:

“Stockbrokers, banks and others who deal in relevant securities on behalf of clients have a general duty to ensure, so far as they are able, that those clients are aware of the disclosure obligations attaching to associates and other persons under Rule 22 and that those clients a re willing to comply with them. Principal traders and dealers who deal directly with investors should, in appropriate cases, likewise draw attention to the relevant Rules. However, this does not apply when the total value of dealings (excluding stamp duty and commission) in any relevant security undertaken for a client during any seven day period is less than HK$1 million.

This dispensation does not alter the obligation of principals, associates and other persons themselves to initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever total value is involved.

Intermediaries are expected to co-operate with the Executive in its dealings enquiries. Therefore, those who deal in relevant securities should appreciate that stockbrokers and other intermediaries will supply the Executive with relevant information as to those dealings, including identities of clients, as part of that co-operation.”

WARNING: as the making of the Offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the PreConditions, the Offer is a possibility only and may or may not be made. It depends on the satisfaction or waiver of the Pre-Conditions. Accordingly, OOIL Shareholders, COSCO SHIPPING Holdings Shareholders and prospective investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of OOIL or COSCO SHIPPING Holdings.

Closing of the Offer is subject to the Conditions being fulfilled. Accordingly, the issue of this announcement does not in any way imply that the Offer will be completed. The transactions contemplated by the Offer may or may not proceed. OOIL Shareholders, COSCO SHIPPING Holdings Shareholders and prospective investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of OOIL or COSCO SHIPPING Holdings.
