CIH Finance shall assist the JV Company to obtain finance outside the PRC, if necessary, as the foreign party to the sino-foreign joint venture, namely, the JV Company, upon its formation. There is currently no plan as to the manner of assistance, if any, to be provided.

REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE JV FORMATION

CIH Finance is an investment holding company and the Group is principally engaged in the hotel operation and property investment businesses. Guangdong Tech-Finance is principally engaged in financial businesses such as venture capital, private equity, financing guarantee, micro-financing and intellectual property assessment and transaction. Guangdong Qunxing is principally engaged in the design, research and development, manufacturing and sale of electronic electric-powered plastic toys, while Centenio Group Company is principally engaged in property development, hotel and property management, micro-financing and other investment businesses. The Company understood from its substantial Shareholder, Guangdong Nanhai Holding Investment Co., Ltd. (廣東南海控股投資有限公司), that the substantial Shareholder, Guangdong Tech-Finance and several third parties not being connected persons of the Group are also joint venture partners in a micro-financing business.

In November 2013, Guangdong Tech-Finance and the Company had preliminary discussions on the finance leasing opportunity. After conducting industry and policy research and analysis on the finance leasing industry, reviewing feasibility report in relation to the conduct of finance leasing business in the PRC by a joint venture company, and taking into account the experience and leadership role of Guangdong Tech-Finance, the Directors believe that the finance leasing business, which is actively encouraged by the PRC, holds tremendous untapped potential. The JV Company can leverage on the experience and connections of the joint venture partners, including those of Guangdong Tech-Finance in finance investments and venture capital investment in areas involving development of technologies, those of Guangdong Qunxing in respect of use of advanced technology in manufacturing, research and development and those of Centenio Group Company in respect of finance investments, so as to establish a platform in Guangdong, the PRC for engaging in finance leasing business with an initially intended business focus in areas of environment protection and energy saving projects, medical equipments and infrastructure construction projects which require certain understanding in technology development. The Company believes that although the Directors do not currently have relevant experience in finance leasing business, which is new in the PRC, the experience and connections of the joint venture partners would contribute to the business of the JV Company and the JV Formation will enable the Group to share in these opportunities through its investment in the JV Company, enable the Directors to gain relevant valuable experience in finance leasing business and lay a foundation for the Group’s diversification into financial sector.

  • 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors consider that the terms of the JV Formation are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

SGM

The SGM will be convened to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the JV Formation.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has direct or indirect material interest in the JV Formation and accordingly, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the ordinary resolution regarding the JV Formation.

A proxy form for use at the SGM is enclosed. Whether or not you intend to attend the meeting, you are requested to complete the proxy form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return the same to the principal place of business of the Company at Unit 601, Tsim Sha Tsui Centre, 66 Mody Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding of the meeting or any adjournment thereof.
