REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE GUARANTEE AGREEMENTS

The Borrower is a joint venture company owned as to 49% by Hong Yang Land. The principal activity of the Borrower is property development, including the investment for and development of the Nanjing Land Project.

Nanjing Land Project is a residential development project located at Nanjing, the PRC. Given the vast demand for high-quality residential projects in the region, the Group believes that the completion of Nanjing Land Project will generate additional sources of income for the Borrower.

The provision of the Guarantees by Hong Yang Land under the Guarantee Agreements will facilitate the Borrower to meet its funding needs for the development of the Nanjing Land Project. Pursuant to the Guarantee Agreements, the maximum liability of the Group to the Syndicate would be limited to a maximum amount of RMB847,700,000 (including the amount of guarantee of up to RMB392,000,000 to Ping An Bank), which is determined after arm’s length negotiation amongst the parties and proportionate to the 49% indirect equity interest held in the Borrower by Hong Yang Land. The Company considers that risk associated with the provision of the Guarantees by Hong Yang Land to be fair and controllable since the shareholders of the Borrower (being Hong Yang Land, Nanjing Zhengyun and Nanjing Bofeilong) will each, on a several basis, provide a guarantee in proportion to their respective shareholdings in the Borrower, and the Nanjing Land Project, benefitting from its favorable location, is expected to bring a stable source for repayment in the future.

The proceeds from the Syndicated Loan will be solely applied towards the development of the Nanjing Land Project. As such, the provision of the Guarantees by the Group would help provide funding at commercially favorable terms to support the continuous development of the Nanjing Land Project, which would ultimately benefit the Group as a 49% indirect shareholder.

Based on the above factors and taking into consideration the financial position of the Borrower, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Guarantee Agreements were determined through arm’s length negotiations, and are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
