VERY SUBSTANTIAL ACQUISITION IN RELATION TO A JOINT VENTURE INVESTMENT AND PROVISION OF AN ADVANCE AND RESUMPTION OF TRADING
JV INVESTMENT
On 28 November 2017 (after trading hours), GWPA Property (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into the Shareholders Agreement with the Other JV Investors, the JVCo and the Manager in relation to the JVCo.
GWPA Property has agreed to subscribe for 29.9% of JVCo Class A Shares. The total Contribution agreed to be contributed by GWPA Property under the JV Investment (other than the Advance) will be up to HK$3,192,000,000.
The JVCo is the holding company in the JV Group which carries on the business of acquiring, holding, managing, developing or disposing of the Portfolio Assets comprising certain commercial properties and shopping centres, plazas and carparks in Hong Kong. The JV Group has contracted to purchase the Portfolio Assets following acceptance of its Bid by the Seller on 28 November 2017. Completion of the acquisition of the Portfolio Assets is expected to take place by the end of February 2018. The JVCo will not be a consolidated subsidiary of the Group.
Under the Shareholders Agreement, GWPA Property shall have the Call Option which entitles GWPA Property to purchase from the JV Group the Option PropCo holding the Selected Asset comprised in the Portfolio Assets at the Exercise Price. The Call Option is exercisable by GWPA Property at its discretion at any time within the 18-month Option Period commencing after the closing date of the purchase of the Portfolio Assets by the JV Group. In connection with the grant of the Call Option, GWPA Property has agreed to provide the interest-free Advance of not more than HK$743,000,000 to the JVCo.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As the relevant applicable percentage ratios based on the total capital commitments of GWPA Property (being HK$3,935,000,000, representing the aggregate amount of the Great Wall Commitment and the maximum amount of the Advance) exceeds 100%, the JV Investment constitutes a very substantial acquisition for the Company which is subject to reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. The Company will convene the SGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to grant the Shareholders’ Approval in respect of the JV Investment (including the provision of the Advance) and the relevant transactions under the Shareholders Agreement.
The Company will seek Shareholders’ Approval for the JV Investment (including the provision of the Advance) at the SGM. The Company will issue a VSA Circular, together with a notice of the SGM, providing, among other things, further information on the JV Investment (including the provision of the Advance) and other relevant information as required under the Listing Rules. The VSA Circular is expected to be despatched by the Company on or before 29 December 2017 to allow sufficient time for the preparation of the relevant information for inclusion therein. GW Holding has undertaken that it will, under all circumstances, vote in favour of all and any resolution(s) at the SGM to approve the transactions under the Shareholders Agreement.
The GW Holding Shareholder’s Loan to the Group is unsecured and obtained on normal commercial terms or better. Therefore, it is fully exempt from shareholder’s approval, annual review and all disclosure requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the JV Investment (including the provision of the Advance) is still subject to the Shareholders’ Approval and may or may not materialise. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are therefore advised to exercise caution when dealing or contemplating in dealing in the Shares.
RESUMPTION OF TRADING
Trading in the Shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange was halted with effect from 9:00 a.m. on 29 November 2017 at the request of the Company pending the publication of this announcement. An application has been made to the Stock Exchange for the resumption of trading in the Shares of the Company on the Stock Exchange with effect from 9:00 a.m. on 4 December 2017.
1. SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT DATED 28 NOVEMBER 2017
On 28 November 2017 (after trading hours), GWPA Property (a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into the Shareholders Agreement with the Other JV Investors, the JVCo and the Manager in relation to the JVCo. This announcement is made by the Company regarding the investment interests of GWPA Property as a JV Investor in the JVCo and the relevant transactions under the Shareholders Agreement.
1.1 Parties
The Shareholders Agreement is made between (1) three JV Investors; (2) the JVCo; and (3) the Manager.
GWPA Property is one of the JV Investors. The lead JV Investor and the Manager are investment holding companies associated with a global real estate private equity firm. The Other JV Investor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of a leading global investment banking, securities and investment management firm. The JVCo is the holding company in the JV Group, which carries on the business of acquiring, holding, managing, developing or disposing of the Portfolio Assets in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement.
2
To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors after having made all reasonable enquiry, the above counterparties and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.
1.2 Condition
The obligations of the Parties under the Shareholders Agreement are conditional upon the Bid being accepted by the Seller, either in whole or in part, on or before 30 November 2017 (or such other date as may be agreed in writing by the JV Investors). Following the Seller’s acceptance of the Bid in respect of the entire Portfolio Assets on 28 November 2017, this condition has been satisfied.
1.3 Shares in the JVCo and Contributions
The JVCo will issue JVCo Class A Shares carrying voting rights to the JV Investors in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement. GWPA Property has agreed to subscribe for 29.9% of JVCo Class A Shares, with the remaining JVCo Class A Shares to be held by the Other JV Investors. All of the JVCo Class A Shares to be issued to the JV Investors under the Shareholders Agreement will be issued at the same price of HK$1.00 per share.
The JVCo will also issue one non-voting JVCo Class B Share to the Manager, an affiliate of the lead JV Investor. The Manager will be entitled to receive fees and incentive fees under the Shareholders Agreement.
In addition to the subscription of JVCo Class A Shares, the JV Investors, including GWPA Property, have agreed to make contributions to the JVCo pro rata in accordance with their equity interests in the JVCo by way of shareholder loans. As at the date of this announcement, a total amount of HK$850,800,000 has been advanced by the JV Investors by way of shareholder loans to the JVCo.
The total Contribution agreed to be contributed by GWPA Property under the JV Investment (other than the Advance by GWPA Property as mentioned below) will be up to HK$3,192,000,000 (the “ Great Wall Commitment ”). The Great Wall Commitment was determined with reference to, among others, the acquisition price of the Portfolio Assets and the amount of financing intended to be obtained by the JV Group to fund the acquisition. As at the date of this announcement, the Directors do not expect there will be any material adjustment to the Great Wall Commitment before completion of the acquisition of the Portfolio Assets. In the event that additional commitment (other than the Advance) is required to be contributed by GWPA Property to fund the acquisition of the Portfolio Assets under the JV Investment, the Company will comply with the relevant requirements under the Listing Rules. The Directors considered that the determination of the Great Wall Commitment is fair and reasonable.
The Contribution received from the JV Investors will be used primarily to fund the equity portion of the purchase price for the Portfolio Assets.
3
The Contribution by GWPA Property will be funded out of the internal resources of the Group and the GW Holding Shareholder’s Loan.
1.4 Board of directors of the JVCo
Pursuant to the Shareholders Agreement, the board of directors of the JVCo shall initially have not more than seven directors. GWPA Property has the right to designate two of those directors provided that it and its affiliate (if any) together hold not less than 25% of the outstanding JVCo Class A Shares.
The board of directors of the JVCo shall be responsible for the overall strategic direction, supervision and management of the JVCo and its business, save in respect of certain reserved matters, further details of which are set out in paragraph 1.5 of this announcement; whereas the Manager shall be responsible for all aspects of the daily operations of the JV Group and the Portfolio Assets including issues related to, among others, rent collections, repair and maintenance and lease renewals.
1.5 Reserved matters
Approval of all JV Investors is required for certain matters under the Shareholders Agreement, including but not limited to:
-
(a) any change to the scope or nature of the business of any JV Group Company;
-
(b) any amendment to the constitutional documents of any JV Group Company;
-
(c) any alteration to the rights attaching to the shares of the JVCo;
-
(d) any non-pro rata declaration, making or payment of any dividends or other distributions to the shareholders of the JVCo;
-
(e) any re-organisation, merger, recapitalisation, amalgamation, spin-off, consolidation or similar transactions of any JV Group Company;
-
(f) acquisition or disposal of any asset, undertaking or business by any JV Group Company other than transaction in the ordinary course of business; and
-
(g) disposal or acquisition of any immovable asset (including all or any part of the Portfolio Assets) by any JV Group Company.
1.6 Right of first offer and pre-emptive right
Each JV Investor will have a right of first offer to acquire the investment interest to be sold by another JV Investor if it wishes to sell its interests in the JVCo in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement.
If the JVCo proposes to issue any equity securities as defined in the Shareholders Agreement, it must first offer to each JVCo Class A Shareholder a percentage of such securities equal to its pro rata ownership of JVCo Class A Shares in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement.

1.7 Call Option and Advance by GWPA Property
Under the Shareholders Agreement, GWPA Property shall have the Call Option which entitles GWPA Property to purchase from the JV Group the relevant intermediate holding company in the JV Group (the “ Option PropCo ”) holding interests in one of the assets in the Portfolio (the “ Selected Asset ”) at the Exercise Price. The Selected Asset comprises a shopping centre and a car park.
The amount of the Exercise Price will be based on the acquisition price of the Selected Asset and the related costs and expenses incurred for its acquisition and the exercise of the Call Option minus (provided that the relevant lenders financing the acquisition of the Portfolio Assets agree to continue with the financing of the Selected Asset without recourse to the remaining Portfolio Assets to be acquired by the JV Group, to any share of any JV Group companies holding interest in such remaining Portfolio Assets, or to any other parties to the Shareholders Agreement (other than GWPA Property) on and after acquisition thereof by GWPA Property pursuant to the exercise of the Option) the relevant bank borrowings attributable to the acquisition of the Selected Asset.
The Call Option is exercisable at the discretion of GWPA Property at any time within 18 months after the closing date of the purchase of the Portfolio Assets by the JV Group (the “ Option Period ”), failing which it will lapse. If and when the Call Option is exercised, the Company will comply with the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules, including those in Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules in relation to the Call Option.
In connection with the grant of the Call Option, GWPA Property has agreed to provide the interest-free Advance to the JVCo. The Advance will not exceed HK$743,000,000. It is determined with reference to the expected maximum amount of the Exercise Price. The Directors considered that the determination of the Advance is fair and reasonable. The Advance will be funded out of the internal resources of the Group and the GW Holding Shareholder’s Loan.
2. SHAREHOLDERS’ APPROVAL AND TERMINATION OF THE JV INVESTMENT
In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company will seek Shareholders’ Approval for the JV Investment (including the provision of the Advance) at the SGM as mentioned below.
If the Shareholders’ Approval is not obtained by 20 February 2018, GW Holding shall, pursuant to a separate undertaking (the “ Undertaking ”) dated 28 November 2017 given to the Other JV Investors, assume to perform and discharge all obligations, rights and liabilities of GWPA Property and advance interest-free and unsecured loans to the JVCo in the same amount as the loan advanced by GWPA Property initially and execute the relevant deed of adherence to become a Party to the Shareholders Agreement in place of GWPA Property. Upon GW Holding and GWPA Property complying with, performing and discharging their obligations as mentioned above under the Shareholders Agreement, GWPA Property shall be released from all obligations and cease to have any rights under the Shareholders Agreement, and the JVCo will return to GWPA Property its loan advanced as mentioned above. The terms and provision of the Undertaking and the GW Holding Shareholders’ Loan are not interconditional on any transactions under the Shareholders Agreement.

3. BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREUNDER
In early September 2017, the Company first became aware that the Seller proposed to sell the Portfolio through a bidding process, and then initiated contact with one of the independent agents (the “ Agent ”) appointed by the Seller for the proposed sale. After having considered the size of the subject matter of the Portfolio and the required requisite experience in large scale commercial properties management, the Company decided to partner with others to participate in the bidding. Through introduction by the Agent, in September, the Company approached one of the Other JV Investors to explore the opportunity to form a joint venture, who has then invited the remaining Other JV Investor to participate in the formation of a joint venture.
Throughout the negotiation process, the Company negotiated the terms of the Shareholders Agreement with the Other JV Investors independently without any participation by GW Holding. The Other JV Investors had concerns in the event that the Shareholders’ Approval is not obtained, and expressed they were not satisfied with a mere voting undertaking from GW Holding and requested for a complete assurance from GW Holding. At the request of the Other JV Investors to address their concerns and after negotiations amongst the JV Investors, the Company agreed to approach GW Holding with a proposal of GW Holding giving the Undertaking as an assurance to the Other JV Investors. Following careful consideration, the directors of GW Holding approved the proposal and granted the Undertaking to the Other JV Investors.
4. REASONS FOR THE ENTERING INTO OF THE SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREUNDER
The JVCo is the corporate vehicle of the joint venture established under the Shareholders Agreement. The JVCo has contracted to purchase the Portfolio Assets following the acceptance of its Bid by the Seller on 28 November 2017. The Portfolio Assets comprise 17 diversified commercial properties and shopping centres, plazas and carparks across Hong Kong at (i) Cheung Hang Shopping Centre, Kai Yip Commercial Centre, Kam Tai Shopping Centre, Lei Cheng Uk Shopping Centre, On Ting Commercial Complex, Shek Lei Shopping Centre I & II, Tai Wo Hau Commercial Centre, Tsz Ching Shopping Centre, Yau Oi Commercial Centre and Yung Shing Shopping Centre; and (ii) Kwai Fong Plaza, Kwai Shing East Shopping Centre, Lai Kok Shopping Centre, Lee On Shopping Centre, Retail and Car Park within Shun Tin Estate, Tsing Yi Commercial Complex and Lions Rise Mall.
The Portfolio Assets are currently owned by the Seller which is an independent real estate investment trust listed on the Main Board.
Following the Seller’s acceptance of the JVCo’s Bid for the purchase of the Portfolio Assets, completion of the acquisition of the Portfolio Assets are currently expected to take place by the end of February 2018.
The JV Group intends to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Portfolio Assets out of the Contribution received from the JV Investors, with the remaining portion by borrowings from third party financial institutions to be arranged by the JV Group on its own.
6
The Group is principally engaged in the property investment business in Hong Kong and currently owns four investment properties. The considerations taken into account by the management of the Group to invest in the equity capital of the JVCo include the following:
-
(1) In order to generate favourable investment returns to the Shareholders, the Group continues to enhance its potential long-term growth by, among others, proactively seeking different investment opportunities in the property segment. With the considerable size and the diversified nature and geographical locations of the properties under the Portfolio Assets, the Board considers that the indirect investment in the Portfolio Assets through the JV Group allows the Group to gain an immediate and sizeable retail presence as well as to improve its existing position within the property industry in Hong Kong.
-
(2) The Group’s investment interests in the JVCo will be a joint venture interest. The financial results of the JVCo will be accounted for by the Company using the equity method upon completion of the JV Investment. The Board considers that the JV Investment will optimise the balance of the Group’s investment portfolio and its efforts to diversify its risks. This joint venture will generate potential to enhance the Group’s profitability through a potential sharing of returns of the JVCo, and ultimately benefits to the future development of the Group.
-
(3) With the international reputations and experience in fund management within the global real estate sectors of the Other JV Investors, the Group sees the JV Investment as a business partnership to enable the Group to leverage on their advanced expertise and well-established strengths in the development of the JV Group and operation of the Portfolio Assets in the long run.
The Group agrees to grant the Advance in consideration of the Call Option. Through funding the acquisition of the Selected Asset by means of the Advance, the Group has secured an exclusive right to participate in a direct, sizeable investment opportunity in the Selected Asset. The opportunity enables the Group to expand its own property portfolio at an appropriate stage to consolidate with developments of principal business activities in properties sector in the future.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Shareholders Agreement and the transactions under it including the JV Investment (including the provision of the Advance), and the total capital commitments of GWPA Property in the amount of HK$3,935,000,000, which have been reached after arm’s length negotiations among the Parties, are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

5. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As the relevant applicable percentage ratios based on the total capital commitments of GWPA Property (being HK$3,935,000,000, representing the aggregate amount of the Great Wall Commitment and the maximum amount of the Advance) exceeds 100%, the JV Investment constitutes a very substantial acquisition for the Company which is subject to reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. The Company will convene the SGM for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to grant the Shareholders’ Approval in respect of the JV Investment (including the provision of the Advance) and the relevant transactions under the Shareholders Agreement. GW Holding has undertaken that it will, under all circumstances, vote in favour of all and any resolution(s) at the SGM to approve the transactions under the Shareholders Agreement.
The Company will issue a VSA Circular, together with a notice of the SGM, providing, among other things, further information on the JV Investment (including the provision of the Advance) and other relevant information as required under the Listing Rules. The VSA Circular is expected to be despatched by the Company on or before 29 December 2017 to allow sufficient time for the preparation of the relevant information for inclusion therein.
As the JVCo will be owned as to 29.9% by GWPA Property, the members of JV Group are not consolidated subsidiaries of the Group. The Company is expected to recognise its investment in the JVCo using the equity method. In so far as the Company is concerned, the acquisition of the Portfolio Assets by the JV Group does not constitute an acquisition of assets or a transaction for the Group under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
The GW Holding Shareholder’s Loan to the Group is unsecured and obtained on normal commercial terms or better. Therefore, it is fully exempt from shareholder’s approval, annual review and all disclosure requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
6. GENERAL
GW Holding is the controlling shareholder of the Company. As at the date of this announcement, GW Holding holds approximately 74.89% of the total issued share capital of the Company.
Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that the JV Investment (including the provision of the Advance) is still subject to the Shareholders’ Approval and may or may not materialise. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are therefore advised to exercise caution when dealing or contemplating in dealing in the Shares.
