  • (A) Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement

The principal terms of the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement are set out below:

Date : 16 July 2021 Parties : (i) the Company; and (ii) Poly Developments and Holdings Term : The Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement shall take effect from the date on which it is considered and approved at the EGM to 31 December 2023.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • Subject matter : Pursuant to the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement, the Group will provide exclusive parking spaces sales and leasing agency services (the “ Exclusive Leasing and Sales Rights ”) in respect of the target parking spaces (the “ Target Parking Spaces ”) to Poly Developments and Holdings Group to facilitate the sales and leasing activities of parking space properties. Poly Developments and Holdings Group shall not entrust the Target Parking Spaces to other third parties for sales or leasing.

In respect of the Target Parking Spaces, the Exclusive Leasing and Sales Rights are the sole and exclusive rights entitled to the Group, and Poly Developments and Holdings Group shall not sell, transfer or dispose of in any other manner any of the Target Parking Spaces to third parties unless agreed by both parties through negotiation.

The Group and Poly Developments and Holdings Group will enter into specific contracts (the “ Specific Contracts ”) to specify the specific projects and the number of Target Parking Spaces during each cooperation cycle.

  • Pricing policy : The agency services adopt the leasing and sales at the base price model: The Group and Poly Developments and Holdings Group will enter into specific negotiations on the base price for the sales and leasing of the Target Parking Spaces (the “ Cooperation Rights on Leasing and Sales at Base Price ”). Poly Developments and Holdings Group will transfer or lease (as the case may be) the Target Parking Spaces to any third party customers designated by the Group at the request of the Group at an agreed price not lower than the aforesaid base price, and the excess of the agreed price over the base price for sales and leasing will be attributable to the Group as agency service fees. Poly Developments and Holdings Group will settle the payment to the Group on a monthly basis after receiving the payment from third party customers. The transactions will be conducted on normal commercial terms.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The base price for sales or leasing is the minimum price to be charged by Poly Development and Holdings Group for the sales or leasing of the Target Parking Spaces, which in principle shall not exceed 80% of the agreed price for sales or leasing. The base price for sales or leasing will be determined with reference to the level of the agency service fees, and the level of discount of the base price for sales or leasing to the agreed price equals the level of agency services fees, which shall be at least 20% of the agreed price. Such return margin is higher than the level of fixed commission charged by the Group for its previous parking space agency business. In determining the agency service fees, the Group will estimate the costs of such service and comprehensively take into account factors such as labour costs, selling and marketing expenses, difficulties in acting as agency in leasing and sales. In general, the base price for sales or leasing shall not exceed 80% of the agreed price. The discount of the base price for sales or leasing to the agreed price of a specific project will be determined by comprehensively taking into account factors such as occupancy rate, parking space ratio, sales stage and quality of parking spaces of the projects.

The agreed price will be determined through negotiation by relevant members of the Group and Poly Developments and Holdings Group with reference to the comparable average price in the surrounding markets of the Target Parking Spaces.

Deposits

  • : In order to obtain the Exclusive Leasing and Sales Rights and the Cooperation Rights on Leasing and Sales at Base Price for the Target Parking Spaces, the Group shall pay deposits to Poly Developments and Holdings Group in an amount not exceeding 50% of the aggregate of the relevant value of the Target Parking Spaces under the Specific Contracts (being the sum of the base price for sales and leasing).

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

During each cooperation cycle, the Group may replace the unleased and unsold Target Parking Spaces with other parking spaces of the same value.

When each cooperation cycle expires or the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement is dismissed or terminated for any reason, Poly Developments and Holdings Group will withdraw the Exclusive Leasing and Sales Rights and the Cooperation Rights on Leasing and Sales at Base Price for unleased and unsold parking spaces and return the corresponding deposits. During each cooperation cycle, if the Group attains an early completion of the leasing and sales of all Target Parking Spaces, Poly Developments and Holdings Group shall return the corresponding deposits after the completion of the leasing and sales.

The deposits payable by the Group under the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement is expected to be funded by internal resources of the Group.

By paying the deposits to acquire the Exclusive Leasing and Sales Rights and Cooperation Rights on Leasing and Sales at Base Price, the Group can obtain a preferential discounted base price for sales or leasing, pursuant to which the agency service fees receivable by the Group is the amount received in excess of the base price for sales and leasing (being at least 20% of the agreed price), which is greater than the potential returns that can be generated under the original fixed commission agency model, and the risk of holding unsold and vacant parking spaces will not be passed on to the Group.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As aforementioned, the amount of the deposits shall not exceed 50% of the aggregate of the relevant value of the Target Parking Spaces (being the sum of the base price for sales or leasing) under the Specific Contracts while the base price for sales or leasing shall not exceed 80% of the agreed price (being the final transaction price for leasing and sales paid by third party customers), meaning that the deposits shall not exceed 40% of the agreed price. It is noted from the announcement of another listed issuer that deposits are also paid by another listed issuer for its exclusive parking spaces sales agency businesses and the deposit rate of 40% paid by the Group is more favourable as compared with its peer. In addition, according to the information from market researches currently available to the Group, other agents providing similar services in the market may also pay deposits to the developers which might not be fully refundable. However, the deposit rates vary depending on the project conditions and transaction terms and hence might not be entirely comparable.

On a whole, the payment of deposits provides a higher discount to the base price and considerable potential returns, and the deposits can be fully returned with limited risks. The cooperation terms are no less favourable than those available to the independent third parties. Accordingly, the Board considers the deposits and the deposit rates to be normal business practices.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Group has maintained a long-term business relationship with Poly Developments and Holdings Group. Poly Developments and Holdings is listed on the main board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code: 600048). As disclosed in the annual report of Poly Developments and Holdings for the year ended 31 December 2020, Poly Developments and Holdings Group is financially sound and its audited balance of cash and cash equivalents and net assets as at 31 December 2020 were RMB145,279.84 million and RMB266,637.88 million respectively. The maximum balance of the deposits in each cooperation cycle is only 2.06% and 1.13% of the aforesaid balance of cash and cash equivalents and net assets of Poly Development Holdings Group respectively. At the same time, Poly Developments and Holdings undertakes that Poly Developments and Holdings Group shall pay default interests if it fails to return the deposits in accordance with the terms of the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement. Furthermore, the Directors did not note any material adverse credit events and/or defaults in relation to Poly Developments and Holdings Group based on its public announcements in the past 24 months. Therefore, the Board considers that the default risk of Poly Developments and Holdings Group is extremely low.

The deposits will be fully returned upon the expiry of each cooperation cycle or the early completion of leasing and sales of all the Target Parking Spaces by the Group. The Group will review the return of deposits in such cycle upon the expiry of each cooperation cycle, assess the major risks of the deposit model, which includes a review of the latest financial position and payment ability of the Poly Developments and Holdings Group before deciding whether to commence a new cooperation cycle, the scale of the business and the amount of the deposits to be paid.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

development and operation, and builds an ecological development platform of real estate, which is driven by the real estate investment and development business as its core, with integrated services and real estate finance business as two supplementary businesses.

3. Overview of the PRC landscape

According to information published on the website of the National Bureau of Statistics of the PRC (http://data.stats.gov.cn), the PRC recorded year-on-year growth in gross domestic product (“ GDP ”) in 2020 of approximately 2.3% (2019: 6.0%). Given the ongoing development and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, which is expected to be temporary in nature, the growth of GDP of the PRC for 2020 was lower than the growth recorded in 2019. Nonetheless, despite the then short-term challenging environment, the PRC economy achieved positive growth for 2020.

The PRC government had implemented policies to promote urbanisation in the PRC through to, among others, (i) accelerate the agricultural population urbanisation (加快農業轉移人口市民化) by implementing three main strategies, namely further reform of the household registration system (深化戶籍制度改革), implementation of the residence permit system (實施居住證制度) and improvement on the system for promoting urbanisation of agricultural population (健全促進農業 轉移人口市民化的機制); and (ii) optimise urbanisation layout (優化城鎮化佈局和形 態) by implementing three main strategies, namely the acceleration of the construction and advancement of urban agglomeration (加快城市群建設發展), enhance the drive of activities by central cities (增強中心城市輻射帶動功能) and speeding up of the development of small and medium-sized cities and characteristical towns* (加快發展中小城市和特色鎮).

In addition, based on publication by the PRC government in relation to the Fourteenth Five Year Plan (十四五規劃), the PRC government will focus on enhancing the quality and efficacy of the overall economy with a view to attain sustainable and healthy development through, among others, (i) the improvement of supply chain modernisation (提升產業鏈供應鏈現代化水平); (ii) the development of strategical new industries (發展戰略性新興產業); (iii) the acceleration of modern service industries development (加快發展現代服務業); (iv) the coordination of infrastructure construction advancement (統籌推進基礎設施建設); and (v) the acceleration of the development of digitalisation (加快數位化發展)[1] .

The development of the PRC property market continues to be influenced by changes in PRC government policies at a national and regional level, market environment as well as the overall economic development of the PRC. On this basis, it is expected that the increase in urbanisation rate in the PRC and continuous development of the PRC economy shall continue to drive growth for the PRC property-related industries.

Pricing policy:

The agency services adopt the leasing and sales at the base price model: The Group and Poly Developments and Holdings Group will enter into specific negotiations on the base price for the sales and leasing of the Target Parking Spaces (the “ Cooperation Rights on Leasing and Sales at Base Price ”). Poly Developments and Holdings Group will transfer or lease (as the case may be) the Target Parking Spaces to any third party customers designated by the Group at the request of the Group at an agreed price not lower than the aforesaid base price, and the excess of the agreed price over the base price for sales and leasing will be attributable to the Group as agency service fees. Poly Developments and Holdings Group will settle the payment to the Group on a monthly basis after receiving the payment from third party customers. The transactions will be conducted on normal commercial terms.

The base price for sales or leasing is the minimum price to be charged by Poly Development and Holdings Group for the sales or leasing of the Target Parking Spaces, which in principle shall not exceed 80% of the agreed price for sales or leasing. The base price for sales or leasing will be determined with reference to the level of the agency service fees, and the level of discount of the base price for sales or leasing to the agreed price equals the level of agency services fees, which shall be at least 20% of the agreed price. Such return margin is higher than the level of fixed commission charged by the Group for its previous parking space agency business. In determining the agency service fees, the Group will estimate the costs of such service and comprehensively take into account factors such as labour costs, selling and marketing expenses, difficulties in acting as agency in leasing and sales. In general, the base price for sales or leasing shall not exceed 80% of the agreed price. The discount of the base price for sales or leasing to the agreed price of a specific project will be determined by comprehensively taking into account factors such as occupancy rate, parking space ratio, sales stage and quality of parking spaces of the projects. The agreed price will be determined through negotiation by relevant members of the Group and Poly Developments and Holdings Group with reference to the comparable average price in the surrounding markets of the Target Parking Spaces.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Deposit:

In order to obtain the Exclusive Leasing and Sales Rights and the Cooperation Rights on Leasing and Sales at Base Price for the Target Parking Spaces, the Group shall pay deposits to Poly Developments and Holdings Group in an amount not exceeding 50% of the aggregate of the relevant value of the Target Parking Spaces under the Specific Contracts (being the sum of the base price for sales and leasing).

During each cooperation cycle, the Group may replace the unleased and unsold Target Parking Spaces with other parking spaces of the same value.

When each cooperation cycle expires or the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement is dismissed or terminated for any reason, Poly Developments and Holdings Group will withdraw the Exclusive Leasing and Sales Rights and the Cooperation Rights on Leasing and Sales at Base Price for unleased and unsold parking spaces and return the corresponding deposits. During each cooperation cycle, if the Group attains an early completion of the leasing and sales of all Target Parking Spaces, Poly Developments and Holdings Group shall return the corresponding deposits after the completion of the leasing and sales.

The deposits payable by the Group under the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement is expected to be funded by internal resources of the Group.

By paying the deposits to acquire the Exclusive Leasing and Sales Rights and Cooperation Rights on Leasing and Sales at Base Price, the Group can obtain a preferential discounted base price for sales or leasing, pursuant to which the agency service fees receivable by the Group is the amount received in excess of the base price for sales and leasing (being at least 20% of the agreed price), which is greater than the potential returns that can be generated under the original fixed commission agency model, and the risk of holding unsold and vacant parking spaces will not be passed on to the Group.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As aforementioned, the amount of the deposits shall not exceed 50% of the aggregate of the relevant value of the Target Parking Spaces (being the sum of the base price for sales or leasing) under the Specific Contracts while the base price for sales or leasing shall not exceed 80% of the agreed price (being the final transaction price for leasing and sales paid by third party customers), meaning that the deposits shall not exceed 40% of the agreed price. It is noted from the announcement of another listed issuer that deposits are also paid by another listed issuer for its exclusive parking spaces sales agency businesses and the deposit rate of 40% paid by the Group is more favourable as compared with its peer. In addition, according to the information from market researches currently available to the Group, other agents providing similar services in the market may also pay deposits to the developers which might not be fully refundable. However, the deposit rates vary depending on the project conditions and transaction terms and hence might not be entirely comparable.

On a whole, the payment of deposits provides a higher discount to the base price and considerable potential returns, and the deposits can be fully returned with limited risks. The cooperation terms are no less favourable than those available to the independent third parties. Accordingly, the Board considers the deposits and the deposit rates to be normal business practices.

7. Basis for determining the annual caps

Proposed annual cap for deposit

In respect of the proposed annual caps, the amount of deposit payable by the Group under the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement are set out below:

From the effective date of the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement to From 1 January 2022 From 1 January 2023 31 December 2021 to 31 December 2022 to 31 December 2023 RMB’ million RMB’ million RMB’ million Proposed annual caps 3,000 3,000 3,000

The above proposed annual caps for the deposits are the maximum balance of the deposits paid by the Group to Poly Developments and Holdings Group at any time during the year.

As set out in the Letter from the Board, the above proposed annual caps were determined after taking into account the following:

  • (i) the estimated value of parking spaces of Poly Developments and Holdings Group available for sales/leasing by the Group as an agent for the year ending 31 December 2021 pursuant to the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement, taking into account factors including, but not limited to, the number of parking space agency projects under negotiation currently known to the Group, historical sales of parking spaces of relevant projects and the surrounding comparable average price range, resources that the Group may allocate to the business, and the ability to meet the service demand;

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (iii) during the three years ending 31 December 2023, the amount of deposits to be paid by the Group to Poly Developments and Holdings Group is expected to remain stable, taking into account factors including, but not limited to: (1) the estimated value of parking spaces of Poly Developments and Holdings Group available for sales/leasing by the Group as an agent for the year ending 31 December 2021 pursuant to the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement; and (2) the Group will steadily push forward the parking space sales and leasing agency business in 2022 and 2023.

Our analysis

We also obtained a schedule (the “ Car Parking Space Schedule ”) listing out the car parking spaces available for the Group to sell or lease from the Poly Developments and Holdings Group pursuant to the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement. We noted that the Car Parking Space Schedule was based on the number of car parking spaces available from various areas in the PRC mainly including the Southern China region, Central region, Northwest region and Southeast region. As advised by the Management, these regions mainly cover Guangdong, Sichuan and other provinces in the PRC, mainly in first and second-tier cities, and the property projects owned by Poly Developments and Holdings Group were concentrated in first and second-tier cities. We also noted that the Car Parking Space Schedule sets out information such as the selling price range and average selling price of those subject car parking spaces in the respective PRC regions. On this basis, based on the number of car parking spaces available and the average selling price of these subject car parking spaces, the aggregate value of car parking spaces available from Poly Developments and Holdings Group for the Group to select to sell or lease is significantly higher than the proposed annual caps for deposits for the year ending 31 December 2021.

We discussed and understood from the Management that the estimated value of sold and leased parking spaces of Poly Developments and Holdings Group available for sales and leasing by the Group as an agent in 2021 were arrived at after taking into consideration of factors including but not limited to, the number of parking space agency projects that the Group is currently negotiating, the historical sales of related parking spaces project and the range of comparable average prices in the surrounding area, and the resources that the Group can allocate to the business and the ability to undertake service.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Base Price, the return margin and the deposit

The Management advised that the Base Price, which in principle shall not exceed 80% of the agreed price for sales or leasing of the Target Parking Spaces. Such agreed price shall be determined subject to the pricing policy under the principal terms of the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement (the “ Pricing Policy ”) and the internal control procedures as set out under section headed “6. Pricing basis and internal procedures of the Group in respect of the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement” in this letter above. Having considered our analysis and work performed in connection the internal control procedures as set out thereunder, and that the subject agreed price shall be determined with reference to, including but not limited to, the then prevailing market price of the Target Parking Spaces and the average price range of surrounding comparable car parking spaces, the Base Price, which shall be at a discount of 20% or more of the agreed price (the “ Discount ”) for any Target Parking Spaces sold and/or leased, will be lower than the prevailing market price (i.e. the agreed price) for the Target Parking Spaces, and will be subject to the internal procedures, detailed under section headed “5. Principal terms of the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement” in this letter.

In this connection, we have reviewed car parking space agency agreements entered into by the Group and independent third parties in the past and market research conducted by the Company and noted that such commission rate (the “ Historical Agency Service Fee ”) were lower than the expected agency service fees to be received by the Group pursuant to the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement of not less than 20% of the agreed price of the Target Parking Space(s).

Based on our discussion with the Management, we noted that in order to negotiate for (i) the Base Price to be set at a discount of 20% or more of the agreed price and (ii) the Exclusive Leasing and Sales Rights in respect of the Target Parking Spaces, which the Management considered to be favourable to the Group as a whole, the Group was requested to pay a deposit in an amount not exceeding 50% of the aggregate of the relevant value of the Target Parking Spaces under the Specific Contracts (being the sum of the base price for sales and leasing). Having considered, among others, (i) Poly Development and Holdings Group shall return the corresponding deposits to the Group after the expiration of each cooperation cycle and/or the termination of the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement; (ii) the deposit enabled the Group to negotiate for the Discount, the Exclusive Leasing and Sales Rights in respect of the Target Parking Spaces, and earn a notably higher rate of agency service fee compared to the Historical Agency Service Fee as detailed above; (iii) it is not uncommon market practice for a party to pay a deposit/earnest money in return for an exclusive right over a period of time; and (iv) the Group recorded deposits and bank balances of approximately RMB7,448.1 million as at 31 December 2020 based on its

– 43 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

published annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020, while the prevailing one-year deposit rate published by the People’s Bank of China (“ PBOC ”) is 1.50% per annum, as extracted from the website of PBOC (www.pbc.gov.cn), the terms of the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement would provide an opportunity allowing the Group to generate a comparatively higher return for the Group in terms of agency fees through utilising its financial resources which is being deposited at bank at the aforesaid interest rate, the Directors considered and we concur that the terms of the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement to be fair and reasonable as a whole.

In addition, as set out in the annual report of Poly Developments and Holdings for the year ended 31 December 2020, there were 753 property development with a total gross floor area of approximately 291.7 million square metre under construction and proposed to construct in the PRC, including commercial, residential and office buildings located in various cities such as Guangzhou, Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu. Moreover, as at the end of 2020, we noted that Poly Developments and Holdings Group had a resources on hand of approximately 170.1 million square metres in the PRC, of which approximately 77.1 million square metres were to be developed. On this basis, we considered the estimated value of parking spaces of the Poly Developments and Holdings Group available for sales and leasing by the Group as an agent, which were used as a basis to determine the proposed annual caps for the year ending 31 December 2021 to be reasonable.

As advised by the Management, the Group has maintained a long-term business relationship with Poly Developments and Holdings, which is listed on the main board of the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code: 600048). The Group has also assessed the financial position of Poly Developments and Holdings Group and noted that the maximum balance of the deposits in each cooperation cycle represented approximately 2.06% and 1.13% of cash and cash equivalents and net assets, respectively, of Poly Development and Holdings Group as at 31 December 2020 based on its published annual report for the year ended 31 December 2020. Poly Developments and Holdings is a listed subsidiary of a state-owned enterprise in the PRC. Furthermore, the Directors did not note any material adverse credit events and/or defaults in relation to Poly Developments and Holdings Group based on its public announcements in the past 24 months prior to the Latest Practicable Date. Therefore, the Board considers that the default risk of Poly Developments and Holdings Group to be extremely low.

The Management further advised that the Group will monitor and review the latest financial position, assess the default risks and payment ability of the Poly Developments and Holdings Group on an ongoing basis as well as upon the expiration of each cooperation cycle prior to committing to the renewal of a new cooperation cycle, the scale of the business and the amount of the deposits to be paid thereunder.

– 44 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In view of the above, the Directors are of the view, and we concur, that the major risks in repayment of deposits by the Poly Developments and Holdings Group under the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement is low and the aforementioned measures together with effective implementation should be sufficient to properly safeguard the assets of the Company.

In connection with the proposed annual caps for the years ending 31 December 2022 and 2023, taking into account the Group will steadily promote the development of parking space sales and leasing agency business in the year ending 31 December 2022 and 2023, the Company has taken a prudent and conservative approach by assuming no any growth to the estimated deposits to be placed by the Group and maintained the proposed annual caps for the years ending 31 December 2022 and 2023 to be the same as that of the year ending 31 December 2021, which is considered to be reasonable.

Proposed annual cap for agency service fees

In respect of the proposed annual caps, the amount of agency service fee receivable by the Group under the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement are set out below:

From the effective date of the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework

Agreement to From 1 January 2022 From 1 January 2023 31 December 2021 to 31 December 2022 to 31 December 2023 RMB’ million RMB’ million RMB’ million Proposed Annual Caps 300 750 750

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the above proposed annual caps were determined after taking into account the following:

  • (i) the estimated value of parking spaces of Poly Developments and Holdings Group available for sales/leasing by the Group as an agent for the three years ending 31 December 2023 pursuant to the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement, taking into account factors including, but not limited to, the number of parking space agency projects under negotiation currently known to the Group, historical sales of parking spaces of relevant projects and the surrounding comparable average price range;

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • (ii) the base price standards for sales and leasing determined by the Group and Poly Developments and Holdings Group, which in principle shall not exceed 80% of the agreed price for sales or leasing. For details in relation to the determination of the base price for sales or leasing, please refer to the section on “Pricing policy” in the Letter from the Board; and

  • (iii) taking into account that, the effective transaction period for the year ending 31 December 2021 is less than half a year whereas the transactions in 2022 and 2023 will cover full years, it is expected that demand for and scale of the parking space sales and leasing agency services to be provided by the Group to Poly Developments and Holdings Group in 2022 and 2023 will increase significantly as compared with that for the year ending 31 December 2021.

Our analysis

As discussed with the Management, we noted that the proposed annual caps for agency service fees were also determined with reference to, among others, (i) during the years ending 31 December 2021, 2022 and 2023, the estimated value of car parking spaces provided by the Group for the Group to commence the parking space agency business based on the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement; and (ii) the base price of the subject car parking spaces, which in principally shall not exceed 80% of the agreed price, which shall primarily be based on the then prevailing market value. Having considered that (i) the schedule of the EGM and the timing of entering into Specific Contracts; and (ii) the initial preparation required for the commencement of sales and leasing of car parking business, the Management estimated that certain proportion of the subject car parking spaces would be sold or leased during the year ending 31 December 2021. We also noted that each of 2022 and 2023 shall be a complete year compared to a partial year for sales and/or lease activities for 2021, given the required time for the subject framework agreement to become effective, on this basis, the Management estimated that comparatively more car parking spaces would be sold or leased during the years ending 31 December 2022 and 2023. With reference to (i) the base price of the subject car parking spaces, which in principally shall not exceed 80% of the agreed price; (ii) the estimated sales and leased level to be attained in the years ending 31 December 2021, 2022 and 2023; and (iii) the estimated value of car parking spaces available from Poly Developments and Holdings Group for the Group to select, the proposed annual caps of agency services fee were estimated to be RMB300 million, RMB750 million and RMB750 million, respectively.

Based on the aforesaid factors considered by the Management, we concur with the Management that the basis of determining the proposed annual caps of agency service fee for the years ending 31 December 2021, 2022 and 2023 to be fair and reasonable.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

For the year ended 31 December 2020, the Group recorded approximately RMB8,037.2 million of revenue, and approximately RMB696.1 million of profit for the year, representing an increase of approximately 34.7% and 38.3% respectively, as compared to the year ended 31 December 2019.

The property management industry is facing a period with strategic opportunities that witnesses the speeding up of the process of industry regulation and market-oriented development, the expansion of service scope, industrialisation of value-added services and digitalization. The Group will echo with and respond to national policies and capitalise on any strategic opportunities in the prime time for the development of the industry, while expanding and optimizing our scale, introducing more innovative business models, continuing to improve our customer experience and speeding up technological empowerment to steadily promote the implementation of the Company’s strategies, so as to achieve healthy corporate development.

The Company believes that the parking space leasing and sales agency services under the Parking Space Leasing and Sales Agency Services Framework Agreement will not have any material impact of the profits, assets and liabilities of the Group. The commencement of the parking space leasing and sales agency services business is beneficial for the Group to (i) further expand the Group’s asset management business and rapidly improve the capabilities of diversified asset sales and leasing; and (ii) promote the steady growth of the Group’s value-added services business, thereby broadening the Group’s revenue base, enhancing the profitability and bringing valuable returns to the Shareholders.
