LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Sichuan Parkson agreed to grant access for the Landlords to review real-time sales data and to report accurate operating revenue of previous month to the Landlords by the tenth (10th) day of each calendar month.

If, after auditing, the turnover rent amount exceeds the guaranteed rent, Sichuan Parkson shall pay the excessive portion of the turnover rent over the guaranteed rent within ten (10) days upon receipt of the legally valid specific VAT invoice issued by the Landlords if Sichuan Parkson has no objection on the amount payable (it essentially means that the total rent payable for that financial year will be the turnover rent. And accordingly, if the turnover rent amount is less than the guaranteed rent, Sichuan Parkson is not required to pay any additional rent, implying that the total rent payable for that financial year will be the guaranteed rent).

Deposit

The deposit of RMB5 million made under the Chengdu Original Tenancy Agreement shall be transferred entirely to the Chengdu Renewal Agreement, therefore no additional deposit is required to be made by Sichuan Parkson under the Chengdu Renewal Agreement.

According to the Chengdu Renewal Agreement, if (i) any of the Landlords, in breach of the Chengdu Renewal Agreement, terminates the agreement before the Term expires, (ii) any of the Landlords breaches the agreement resulting in Sichuan Parkson rescinds the agreement in accordance with its terms, or (iii) the agreement becomes invalid for reasons attributable to the Landlords, then the Landlords will refund the deposit of RMB5 million and pay a compensation of RMB50 million to Sichuan Parkson.

The deposit is fully refundable when the Term expires under PRC legal principles, if there is no breach on the part of Sichuan Parkson.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

3. BASIS FOR DETERMINATION OF THE RENT AND OTHER INFORMATION

The terms of the Chengdu Renewal Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement were determined after arm's length negotiations between Sichuan Parkson and the Landlords, with reference to the prevailing market rates for properties of similar nature (i.e. leased to a single anchor brand similar to Parkson) to the Chengdu Property, and also located in core business districts, as adjusted based on differences in various aspects such as location and environment, age and maintenance, size, decoration standard, floors and other physical characteristics.

The Board has primarily considered the valuation report for the Chengdu Property prepared by an independent property valuer, as set out in Appendix II to this circular, together with prevailing market practices adopted by industry peers for tenancies of comparable scale and duration to the Chengdu Tenancy. In the valuation report, the comparable properties selected for benchmarking purposes include multi-storey retail premises located in core commercial districts of Chengdu City, leased to single anchor tenants similar in nature to Sichuan Parkson. While there may be differences between the Chengdu Property and the selected comparables, particularly in terms of location, building age, size, and physical attributes, the Board considers that the adjustment ranges applied by the independent property valuer are reasonable and appropriate. It is noted that the rental comparables assessed in the valuation report are based solely on fixed rent arrangements and do not incorporate varying rent structures.

The annual market rent of the Chengdu Property in existing state as at 30 September 2025 was of RMB28 million, and the rent payable under the Chengdu Renewal Agreement comprises fixed and varying components, which is in line with the market practice on large-scale tenancies for retail operations.

The mechanism on the rent payable by Sichuan Parkson during the tenancy term being the higher of: (i) guaranteed rent – includes rent and fixed management fee; and (ii) turnover rent which is based on certain percentage shares of the sales revenue generated by Sichuan Parkson from its business at the Chengdu Property has been adopted, and the turnover rent rate that based on specific percentage of the net sales revenue (1.5% to 6%) was also similar, in the Chengdu Original Tenancy Agreement.

The Board is of the view that adopting the turnover rent arrangement, as finalised through arm's length negotiations with the respective Landlords based on their individual circumstances and commercial considerations, is consistent with prevailing market practice. In the case of Sichuan Parkson, the turnover rent, being calculated on the net sales revenue (after tax) of Sichuan Parkson at percentages from 1.5% to 6% depending on the type of products sold, reflects an industry-standard approach. These percentages and the applicable revenue thresholds were determined through negotiations with the Landlords, taking into account the projected operating margin from the Chengdu Property and the overall commercial terms of the Chengdu Renewal Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Regarding the fixed guaranteed rent component, the annual rental amounts for years 1 through 10 are subject to mild annual positive adjustment rates, decreasing progressively from 2.4% to 1.9% per annum. The annual guaranteed rent payable from year 11 onwards is fixed. The rental growth rate was concluded after arm's length negotiations with the Landlords. For the Chengdu Tenancy, the historical compound annual growth rate of rent has been approximately 3%, while the compound annual growth rate during the renewal period is about 1%. This rental growth level is consistent with that of the other properties leased by the Group.

With respect to the turnover rent arrangement, the Company anticipates a gradual rebound in overall consumer confidence and expects inflation and consumer price index in Sichuan Province to remain moderate in the foreseeable future. Accordingly, even if Sichuan Parkson is required to pay rental based on the turnover rent mechanism, the resulting rental obligations are not expected to materially exceed the annual guaranteed rent.

The 20-year lease term for the Chengdu Tenancy was agreed upon following arm's length negotiations between the Landlords and Sichuan Parkson, taking into account the benefits of long-term stability and predictability for the parties. Operating a department store involves substantial investment and therefore, entering into long-term tenancy arrangements is essential to ensure cost efficiency and to mitigate risks such as pre-matured amortisation of renovation expenditure. Such 20-year duration is also in line with prevailing market practice and supports the Group's strategic direction for its retail operations. Securing a long-term tenancy arrangement enables the Group to pursue more stable and resilient performance, thereby enhancing long-term value for shareholders. The Chengdu Renewal Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement include an additional five-year term beyond the expiry dates of the respective land use rights in July 2042 with predetermined fixed rental rates. Although this extended period currently lacks property title coverage, the locked-in rental provide protection against future market fluctuations. In the event the Landlords successfully renew the land use rights, Sichuan Parkson securing this extended tenancy term helps in ensuring its operational continuity during the property rights transition period. In the event where the Landlords fail to renew the land use rights by the respective expiry dates in July 2042 resulting in Sichuan Parkson not being able to continue its operations at the Chengdu Property, Sichuan Parkson will be entitled to terminate the Chengdu Renewal Agreement and will not be obligated to pay rent after the termination.

The Board considers that entering into the Chengdu Tenancy more than 22 months before the expiry of the Chengdu Original Tenancy Agreement may safeguard the continuity and stability of the Group's profitable department store currently operated at the Chengdu Property. Consumers have become accustomed to shopping at Sichuan Parkson's department store located at the Chengdu Property. If Sichuan Parkson fails to secure tenancy renewal when the Chengdu Original Tenancy Agreement expires, the relocation may disrupt established consumer habits at the department store, and more importantly, will result in the Group incurring substantial expenditure on aspects such as relocation, renovation of the new premises, promotion to raise awareness of the new location, and rebuilding local customer base.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The "National Economy Sustained Stable Growth with Growing Positive Factors in the First Three Quarters" (《前三季度國民經濟運行穩中有進平穩向好》) published by the National Bureau of Statistics of China (https://www.stats.gov.cn/sj/zxfb/202410/t20241018_1957044.html) indicated steady growth in household income and stable macroeconomic performance during the first three quarters of 2025. Further, the emerging medium-to-long-term policy framework of the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030) is positioned to systematically transform substantial market potential into tangible growth momentum for the consumer industry and to stimulate and revitalize consumption by stabilising employment rate to boost household purchase power and consumer confidence, while simultaneously encouraging innovation and competition to enrich the market with premium offerings and diverse retail experience. In light of the above, coupled with the anticipated economic recovery in the PRC, which are expected to contribute to future business growth, the Board is of the view that the terms and conditions under the renewed Chengdu Tenancy (including, where applicable, rent and management fees) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The rent and other amounts payable by Sichuan Parkson under the renewed Chengdu Tenancy are expected to be financed by its net sales revenue and the internal resources of the Group.

5. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE CHENGDU RENEWAL AGREEMENT AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

The Group has maintained a long-standing presence in Chengdu, operating two department stores across the city for over 20 years. This sustained footprint has enabled the Group to build strong brand equity, customer loyalty, and institutional goodwill. The Chengdu Property, in particular, has evolved into a strategic retail asset, attracting a wide range of mixed brands and fostering valuable relationships with government and commercial stakeholders. Its performance has contributed meaningfully to the Group's regional success and supports its broader positioning in important and highly-populated cities in the PRC.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Chengdu, as the most populous city in Sichuan Province, continues to demonstrate rising commercial prospects. Its dynamic consumer base and competitive retail landscape make it a key strategic battleground for national and international enterprises. The Chengdu Property is located in the heart of the city's core commercial district, offering exceptional visibility, sustained foot traffic, and seamless connectivity via metro lines. Surrounded by premium office towers, residential developments, and complementary retail offerings, the site benefits from a stable and diverse customer base and remains highly attractive for flagship operations.

The proposed lease renewal is underpinned by strategic, operational, and financial considerations. With some of the major competitors of the Group relocating from the core commercial district of Chengdu, the Chengdu Tenancy demonstrates the Group's resilience and strength. It also ensures continuity of operations and avoids the disruption and cost associated with relocation, including renovation, logistics, and customer attrition. As a key anchor tenant, the Group, via Sichuan Parkson, plays a pivotal role in driving mall traffic and ecosystem synergy, reinforcing its importance to both the landlord and surrounding tenants.

The Board is of the view that the terms of the Chengdu Renewal Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement, each taken as a whole, are fair and reasonable. Having taken into account the above reasons and benefits, the Board considers that the entering into of the Chengdu Renewal Agreement, the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder respectively are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

6. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE RENEWAL OF THE CHENGDU TENANCY AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

Pursuant to IFRS 16, the Group is required to recognise the Chengdu Property as a right-of-use asset. Upon commencement of the renewed tenancy term of the Chengdu Tenancy, the Group will recognise the right-of-use asset of approximately RMB251.8 million, and a lease liability amounting to approximately RMB251.8 million.

Set out below is the accounting treatment of the Group in relation to the right-of-use asset in respect of the Chengdu Property.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at the amount of the lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the respective tenants. Adjustments may also be required for lease incentives, payments at or prior to commencement and restoration obligations or similar. After commencement, the tenants shall measure the right-of-use assets using a cost model, unless:

(i) the right-of-use asset is an investment property and the relevant tenant fair values its investment property under International Accounting Standard 40; or
(ii) the right-of-use asset relates to a class of plant, property and equipment ("PPE") to which the relevant tenant applies IAS 16's revaluation model, in which case all right-of-use asset relating to that class of PPE can be revalued.

  • 17 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Under the cost model, a right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. A lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the rent payable over the relevant lease term, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease if that can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the relevant tenant shall use their incremental borrowing rate.

Pursuant to IFRS 16, the Group will recognise the depreciation charge for the right-of-use asset over the useful life on a straight-line basis, and interest expense on the lease liabilities in profit or loss for the Chengdu Property. The annual depreciation amount for the Chengdu Property is approximately RMB15.1 million. The turnover rent, if becomes payable by the Group, will be recognised as expenses incurred by the Group.

7. IMPLICATIONS UNDER LISTING RULES

Pursuant to IFRS 16, the Group is required to recognise the Chengdu Property as a right-of-use asset. Thus, the entering into of the Chengdu Renewal Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereunder will be regarded as an acquisition of asset by the Group under the Listing Rules. The consideration for the acquisition of the right-of-use asset recognised by the Group pursuant to IFRS 16 is approximately RMB251.8 million, calculated based on the present value of the aggregated rent payments to be made under the Chengdu Renewal Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement in accordance with IFRS 16.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the consideration for the acquisition of the right-of-use asset recognised by the Group pursuant to IFRS 16 is more than 25% but less than 100%, the entering into of the Chengdu Renewal Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement, in aggregation, constitutes a major transaction for the Company, and is therefore subject to announcement, circular and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Written approval of closely allied group of Shareholders

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, and having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder or any of their respective associates has any material interest in the Chengdu Tenancy, the Chengdu Renewal Agreement or the Supplemental Agreement. Accordingly, none of the Shareholders is required to abstain from voting in favour of the resolutions to approve the entering into of the Chengdu Renewal Agreement, the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder respectively.

  • 18 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

A closely allied group of Shareholders interested in an aggregate of 1,448,270,000 Shares, representing approximately 54.97% of the total number of issued shares of the Company, has given its written approval on the entering of the Chengdu Renewal Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereunder. The written approval of the aforesaid group of Shareholders had been accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting of the Company pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

The aforesaid Shareholders are (i) East Crest International Limited which holds 9,970,000 Shares, representing 0.38% of the total number of issued shares of the Company; and (ii) PRG Corporation Limited which holds 1,438,300,000 Shares, representing 54.59% of the total number of issued shares of the Company. PRG Corporation Limited is a wholly-owned subsidiary of East Crest International Limited.

8. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, consider that the terms of the Chengdu Renewal Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement, each taken as a whole, are fair and reasonable, and also having taken into account the above reasons and benefits, consider that the entering into of the Chengdu Renewal Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Had an extraordinary general meeting been convened for the approval of the entering into of the Chengdu Renewal Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement, the Directors, including the independent non-executive Directors, would have recommended the Shareholders to vote in favour of the same.

9. FURTHER INFORMATION

Your attention is also drawn to the additional information of the Group as set out in the appendices to this circular.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group is a leading nationwide lifestyle retail operator in the PRC. The Parkson brand was introduced to the Beijing market in the early 1990's and has been operating and managing a diversified collection of retail formats – including department stores, shopping malls, outlets, “Parkson Beauty” concept stores and supermarkets.

The global economic environment faces persistent headwinds characterised by heightened uncertainties. It is entering a “low growth, high volatility” new normal, shaped by escalating trade conflicts and policy volatility. Even though the economy of the PRC has demonstrated strong resilience and vitality, the consumption market in the PRC is going through a landscape of moderate consumption recovery and deepening consumption fragmentation.

In addition, over these last several years, the PRC consumer spending behavior is undergoing continuous evolution. The PRC consumers' spending is becoming more focused on cost-effectiveness and placing higher emphasis on quality, brand recognition, services, emotional and experiential aspects.

The PRC government has implemented targeted stimulus measure, including fiscal incentives and sector-specific support policies to boost economic activities. China's current retail and consumption policy framework is guided by the 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025), which emphasises the upgrading of commercial circulation and the advancement of digital, intelligent as well as omni-channel retail and service consumption. In addition, new measures were introduced by the municipal governments, including public consumption vouchers as well as subsidies and special-purpose bonds for service providers in consumption-related sectors, which emphasised on service consumption, household spending and the expansion of consumption-led growth. These initiatives are directly relevant to the Group's core business, as they align with the Group's strategic objectives by fostering a more favourable consumption environment, enhancing appeal of department stores, driving customer traffic and sales, and supporting the development of experiential retail formats. The Group will proactively monitor and leverage these initiatives to capture emerging opportunities and focus on implementing a series of operational improvement plans to transform the stores from mere “commodity marketplaces” into “dynamic epicenters for lifestyle innovation”. These include refining the brand portfolio, curating product selections, and designing experiential spatial layouts and scenario-based environment that align with evolving consumer preferences while providing them with emotional value and experiences.

Looking ahead, the Group is well-positioned to seize growth opportunity in markets that we have established presence to grow its pipeline of potential new retain stores across the PRC. The Group is committed to becoming an outstanding commercial space operator, with a mission to deliver exceptional shopping and lifestyle experiences to our customers.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Group's strategy, grounded on the principle of "pursue progress in stability; discard the old to implement the new", will guide the Group in navigating the complexities of China's retail landscape. By balancing stability with innovation, dismantling outdate practices, and strategically embracing change, the Group will position itself to not only survive but also thrive in the coming years.

Dear Sirs,

Instructions, Purpose & Valuation Date

(四川時尚百盛商業發展有限公司)(“Sichuan Parkson”) an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, (collectively the “Group”) in the People's Republic of China (the “PRC”) (as more particularly described in the attached valuation report), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we considered necessary for the purpose of providing the Company with our opinion of market rent of the property as at 30 September 2025 (the “Valuation Date”).

Valuation Basis

Our valuation of the property represents its market rent which in accordance with HKIS Valuation Standards 2024 published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (“HKIS”) is defined as “the estimated amount for which an interest in real properties should be leased on the valuation date between a willing lessor and a willing lessee on appropriate lease terms in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

  • 24 -

APPENDIX II

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY

In valuing the property, we have complied with the requirements set out in the HKIS Valuation Standards, the RICS Global Valuation Standards and the International Valuation Standards.

We confirm that the valuation is undertaken in accordance with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

Valuation Assumption

Our valuation of the property excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special consideration or concessions granted by anyone associated with the letting, or any element of value available only to a specific lessor or lessee.

Our valuation of the property has been made on the assumption that the lessor leases or lets the property on the market without the benefit of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the market rent of the property.

Unless otherwise stated, our valuation of the property is on a 100% interest basis.

No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a letting.

Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and onerous nature which could affect its rent.

Method of Valuation

In valuing the property, we have adopted Market Comparison Method which is universally considered the most acceptable method for assessing the rent of most forms of real estate. This involves the analysis of recent market rental evidences of similar properties to compare with the property under assessment. Each comparable is analysed on the basis of its unit rent; each attribute of the comparable is then compared with the property and where there is a difference, the unit rent is adjusted in order to arrive at the appropriate unit rent for the property.

Source of Information

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information provided by the Company and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, identification of the property, tenancy information, particulars of occupancy, site and floor area and all other relevant matters.

APPENDIX II

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY

We would therefore advise the Company to make reference to the original Chinese edition of the documents and consult the PRC Legal Adviser regarding the legality and interpretation of these documents.

Title Investigation

We have been provided with the copies of title documents relating to the property in the PRC. We have not been able to conduct title searches and have not inspected the original documents to ascertain any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We are also unable to ascertain the title of the property in the PRC and we have therefore relied on the advice given by the Group regarding the interests of the Group in the property in the PRC.

In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Company and the PRC Legal Adviser in respect of the title to the property in the PRC.

In valuing the property, we have assumed that the owner of the property has an enforceable title to the property and has free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy, assign or lease the property for the whole or part of the unexpired term as granted. We have not verified the authentication of the real estate title certificates and we assume that the copy of relevant documents provided by the Company are true and accurate.

Site Inspection

Our valuers, Grace Lam (MHKIS, MRICS, R.P.S (GP), over 30 years' experience of property valuation) from Hong Kong Office, Lucy Liang (CIREA, 12 years' experience of property valuation) and Amber Fan (Master degree in Valuation, 1 year's experience of property valuation) from Chengdu Office, inspected the exterior and, wherever possible, the interior of the property on 24 September 2025. However, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are, however, not able to report that the property is free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out to any of the services.

Other Disclosure

We hereby confirm that Cushman & Wakefield Limited and the valuers conducting the valuation have no pecuniary or other interests that could conflict with the proper valuation of the property or could reasonably be regarded as being capable of affecting our ability to give an unbiased opinion.

We confirm that we are an independent qualified valuer, as referred to Rule 5.08 of the Listing Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

APPENDIX II

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY

(8) We have adopted Market Comparison Method by identifying relevant rental comparables in the nearby developments. Comparable properties are selected based on the following criteria: (i) the lease of comparable properties took place within three years; (ii) comparable properties are located in core business districts of Chengdu; (iii) the nature of the comparable properties is similar to the property (i.e. leased to a single anchor brand similar to Parkson). We have examined the current market and the rental comparables identified by us are considered exhaustive based on the above criteria. The unit monthly rents of the retail comparables approximately range from RMB43 to RMB60 per month per sq. m., inclusive of VAT.

Rental Comparable Approximately
Leased Area (sq. m.) Unit Rent (RMB/sq. m./month)
1. A multi-storey retail unit in Wuhou district 4,000 43
2. A multi-storey retail unit in Jinjiang district 49,000 60
3. A multi-storey leisure and entertainment unit in Gaoxin district 5,800 47

The rental comparables are from our internal proprietary database, hence building names are not disclosed as restricted by confidential agreements to third parties.

In arriving at the key assumptions, appropriate adjustments and analysis are considered to reflect the differences in several aspects, including but not limited to location, size, level and other physical characteristics between the property and the comparable properties. The general basis of adjustment is that if the property is similar to comparable properties, no adjustment is necessary. If the property is better than the comparable properties, an upward adjustment is made. Alternatively, if the property is inferior or less desirable than the comparable properties, a downward adjustment is made.

The major adjustments arrive at our valuation:

Adjustment Range
Time -2% to 0%
Location & Environment 15% to 25%
Accessibility -5% to 10%
Age & Maintenance -4% to 0%
Size -2% to 4%
Building Facilities 3% to 6%
Decoration Standard -5% to 5%
Level -2% to 67%
Frontage 0% to 5%

The unit rent of each comparable property was individually adjusted to reflect its differences from the property in key aspects such as location, size, level, and other physical characteristics. After due adjustments, equal weighting was assigned to the three comparable properties to derive the unit market rent of the property. As a result, we have adopted a unit market rent of RMB80.60 per sq. m. per month for a total leasable area of 28,763.32 sq. m., equivalent to an annual rent of RMB27,819,883, rounded at RMB28,000,000 for the first year, inclusive of VAT but exclusive of building management fee, at an inclusive basis including fixed and variable rents following the rental growth structure specified in the lease agreement.
