Date

30 June 2014

Parties

Issuer: HEC Capital Limited

Subscriber: Xin Corporation (HK) Limited, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company

The Issuer is incorporated in the Cayman Islands and is an investment holding company. Immediately prior to the execution of the Subscription Agreement: (i) the Subscriber, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, held 3,000,000 shares of the Issuer, representing approximately 0.32% of the issued share capital of the Issuer, and (ii) the Issuer through its wholly-owned subsidiary held 191,328,800 Shares, representing approximately 5.59% of the total issued Shares as at the date of this announcement.

Save as disclosed above, to the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Issuer and its ultimate beneficial owners are independent third parties not connected with the Company and its connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules).

Assets to be acquired

38,000,000 Subscription Shares, being approximately 4.08% of the issued share capital of the Issuer as at the date of the Subscription Agreement and approximately 3.92% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Issuer. The Subscription Shares shall upon full payment of balance of the aggregate Subscription Price as mentioned hereinafter, be fully paid and rank pari passu in all respects with the shares of the Issuer then in issue and in particular will rank in full for all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid at any time on or after the date of issue of the Subscription Shares.

Upon completion of the Subscription, the Subscriber will hold an aggregate of 41,000,000 shares of the Issuer, representing approximately 4.23% of the enlarged issued share capital of the Issuer.

Subscription Price

Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the subscription price is HK$6.00 per Subscription Share (the “Subscription Price”) and the aggregate of the subscription price for the 38,000,000 Subscription Shares is HK$228,000,000 (subject to adjustment), of which HK$100,000,000 shall be paid by the Subscriber to the Issuer as part payment of the Subscription Price upon the signing of the Subscription Agreement and the balance of HK$128,000,000 shall be paid within one month from the actual date of the completion of the Subscription Agreement.

2

The Subscription Price will be adjusted on the basis of the audited consolidated net asset value per share of the Issuer’s Group as shown in the audited consolidated accounts of the Issuer’s Group for the accounting period ended 31 March 2014 (the “Final NAV per share”) (calculated on the basis of the total number of issued shares of the Issuer as at 31 March 2014) in the manner as follows:–

  • (a) if the Final NAV per share is less than HK$6.50 per share, the difference (i.e. HK$6.50 minus the Final NAV per share rounded up to the nearest Hong Kong cent) multiplied by the total number of Subscription Shares will be deducted from the aggregate Subscription Price (i.e. HK$228,000,000) and shall be refunded by the Issuer to the Subscriber within 7 Business Days from the receipt of the audited consolidated accounts of the Issuer’s Group by the Subscriber (or such later date as the Issuer and the Subscriber may otherwise agree); and

  • (b) no upward adjustment is required if the Final NAV per share exceeds HK$6.50.

The Subscription Price was determined by the Issuer and the Subscriber after arm’s length negotiations with reference to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per share of the Issuer’s Group as at 31 March 2014.

The respective obligations of the Issuer and the Subscriber to effect completion of the Subscription shall be conditional upon the following:–

  • (i) all consents or approval of any relevant governmental authorities, regulatory bodies or other relevant third parties in Hong Kong or elsewhere which if required for the entry into and the implementation of the Subscription Agreement having been obtained, including all filings with any relevant governmental authorities or other relevant third parties in Hong Kong or elsewhere which if required for the entering into and the implementation of the Subscription Agreement having been made; and

  • (ii) the due diligence investigation on the Issuer’s Group to be carried out pursuant to the Subscription Agreement having been completed to the satisfaction of the Subscriber in its sole discretion.

If the conditions have not been fulfilled (or waived by the Subscriber except for the condition (i) above which cannot be waived) on or before 5:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on 31 July 2014 (or such other time and date as the parties hereto may agree in writing), the Subscription Agreement shall terminate whereupon the Issuer shall refund the part payment paid pursuant to the Subscription Agreement in full, without interest, to the Subscriber within 7 Business Days after lapse or termination of the Subscription Agreement and neither parties thereto shall have any further claims against each other under the Subscription Agreement for costs, damages, compensation or otherwise, save in respect of antecedent breaches and claims.

Completion of the Subscription shall take place at 5:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on the date on which all of the conditions shall have been satisfied or waived by the Subscriber (or such other time and date as the parties hereto may agree in writing).

Shortfall of the Guaranteed Profit x Agreed Shareholding Percentage (i.e. approximately 4.08%)

  • Note: Agreed Shareholding Percentage = the number of Subscription Shares (i.e. 38,000,000 shares) to be divided by the total number of issued shares of the Issuer as at 31 March 2014 as enlarged by the number of the Subscription Shares (i.e. 892,792,321 shares + 38,000,000 shares)

as liquidated damages within 7 Business Days from the date when the audited consolidated accounts of the Issuer’s Group are made available to the Subscriber (or such later date as the Issuer and the Subscriber may otherwise agree).
