INTRODUCTION

The Board is pleased to announce that on 18 October 2021 (after trading hours), Shum Yip Group (as the transferor), Shum Yip Holdings, the Company, Nongke (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) (as the transferee) and Nongke Dongcheng (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into the Acquisition Agreement, pursuant to which Nongke, as the transferee designated by the Company, has conditionally agreed to acquire, and Shum Yip Group has conditionally agreed to sell, the Shahu Land Interests at a cash consideration of RMB3,970 million.

BACKGROUND

Reference is made to (i) the 2014 Circular in relation to, among others, the entering into of the Nongke Group Acquisition Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the Nongke Group Acquisition and the granting of the Land Acquisition Option) and (ii) the 2020 Announcement in relation to the signing of the Letter of Clarifications and Confirmations whereby the Parties have clarified and confirmed certain matters concerning the application of the provisions in the Nongke Group Acquisition Agreement regarding the Land Acquisition Option to the Shahu Land as the Replacement Land.

Exclusion of the Subject Lands from the scope of the Nongke Group Acquisition

As disclosed in the 2014 Circular, when the Nongke Group Acquisition Agreement was first entered into, (i) there was a pre-existing agreement between the relevant land and resources government authorities in Shenzhen and Nongke, with the former having agreed to grant the Replacement Land to Nongke in compensation for the compulsory resumption of a land parcel owned by Nongke (the “ Resumed Land ”) in 2005, and in connection with such proposed grant of the Replacement Land, RMB27.0 million had been withheld by the relevant land and resources government authorities in Shenzhen from the monetary compensation payable to Nongke for the said compulsory resumption as prepayment for the land premium of the Replacement Land (the “ Replacement Land Premium Prepayment ”); and (ii) the Nongke Group also owned the land use right in the Agricultural Lands and Related Assets (being the Ping Shan Land, the Dapeng Land and the buildings and structures situated thereon). It was also disclosed in the 2014 Circular that the Nongke Group had been negotiating and discussing with the Shenzhen Government for the exchange of the Replacement Land, the Replacement Land Premium Prepayment and the Agricultural Lands and Related Assets (together, the “ Subject Lands ”) with one or more new land parcel located in Shenzhen which may be used for property development (the “ New Replacement Land ”) (the “ Land Resumption ”).

Since, under the relevant PRC laws, the Subject Lands were not yet transferable at the time the Nongke Group Acquisition Agreement was entered into, they were excluded from the scope of the Nongke Group Acquisition, and all rights and interests associated with the Subject Lands continued to belong to Shum Yip Group following completion of the Nongke Group Acquisition. In this connection, entrustment management agreements have been entered into, and renewed, by Shum Yip Group and Nongke, whereby, among others, Shum Yip Group has appointed and authorised Nongke and its wholly-owned subsidiaries to hold and manage the Agricultural Lands and Related Assets on its behalf at the cost of Shum Yip Group and at a management fee payable to Nongke.

The Land Acquisition Option

The Company was granted the Land Acquisition Option under the Nongke Group Acquisition Agreement to acquire (by itself or through its nominee(s)) the interests associated with the New Replacement Land from Shum Yip Group at market value, subject to the fulfillment of certain conditions. For further details on the Land Resumption and the Land Acquisition Option, please refer to the section headed “B. The Acquisition – Mechanisms for dealing with the Land Resumption” in the “Letter from the Board” of the 2014 Circular.

As disclosed in the 2020 Announcement, in July 2020, the Shenzhen Government had given its preliminary consent that the land in exchange for the Resumed Land (i.e. the Replacement Land) would be the Shahu Land, and for the purpose of facilitating the implementation of the Land Acquisition Option in relation to the Shahu Land, the Parties signed the Letter of Clarifications and Confirmations whereby they have clarified and confirmed the arrangements for the acquisition of the Shahu Land from the Shenzhen Government by Nongke Dongcheng for and on behalf of and at the costs of Shum Yip Group and the application of the provisions in the Nongke Group Acquisition Agreement regarding the Land Acquisition Option to the Shahu Land as the Replacement Land.

The grant of the Replacement Land

The Land Use Right Grant Contract in relation to the Shahu Land was entered into between Nongke Dongcheng (for and on behalf of Shum Yip Group) and the Ping Shan Administration of the PNRBS on 29 September 2020 (which has been amended and supplemented by a supplemental contract dated 25 April 2021). In accordance with the Nongke Group Acquisition Agreement, the Letter of Clarifications and Confirmations and the Land Use Right Grant Contract, Shum Yip Group has paid approximately RMB3,386 million (which, together with the Replacement Land Premium Prepayment, amounted to approximately RMB3,413 million in total) to the Ping Shan Administration of the PNRBS and the relevant government authorities as land premium, land transfer fees, land development fees, government taxes and other related costs and expenses. The Real Property Certificate (不動產權證書) with Nongke Dongcheng as the registered owner of the land use rights in the Shahu Land was issued on 20 July 2021.

Regarding the Agricultural Lands and Related Assets, (a) as disclosed in the 2020 Announcement, the Ping Shan Land had already been resumed by the relevant land and resources government authorities in Shenzhen with monetary compensation paid in May 2017; and (b) the Dapeng Land and the related assets are still being held by Nongke and managed by Nongke and its whollyowned subsidiaries on behalf of, and at the cost of, Shum Yip Group pursuant to the relevant entrustment management agreement. The Land Acquisition Option will be exercisable against any new replacement land for the exchange of the Dapeng Land by the relevant land and resources government authorities in Shenzhen in the future.

Basis of determination of the Consideration

The Consideration of RMB3,970 million represents the market value of the Shahu Land as of 20 July 2021 as well as 31 August 2021 according to the valuation by an independent valuer, using the direct comparison approach to assess the market value of the Shahu Land with reference to comparable transactions of similar land parcels in Shenzhen.

Following Completion, the Shahu Land Interests will belong to the Group with the land use right of the Shahu Land continued to be registered in the name of Nongke Dongcheng, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nongke.

  • (i) by mutual agreement of the Parties;

  • (ii) pursuant to the requirements under the applicable laws;

  • (iii) if the transactions contemplated under the Acquisition Agreement cannot be completed due to the breach of the Acquisition Agreement by any of the Parties before the Completion Date, and such breach is not remedied by the defaulting Party within 90 days following its receipt of notice from the non-defaulting Party, by a non-defaulting Party;

  • (iv) if Completion does not occur within 6 months following the execution of the Acquisition Agreement, by any Party not in default; and

It is positioned as Shenzhen’s high-tech industrial park and its future industrial pilot zone, and as such, has an excellent transport planning and huge development potential.
