LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Given that the transactions under the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements were entered into between the Group and the Purchaser Group within 12 months and are of a same nature, the Disposals constitute a series of transactions which are required to be aggregated pursuant to the Listing Rules.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Disposals exceeds 75%, the Disposals constitute a very substantial disposal for the Company pursuant to Rule 14.06(4) of the Listing Rules and are therefore subject to reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.


As of the date of this announcement, the Purchaser is indirectly held as to 72.77% by Mr. Zeng Huansha, a Controlling Shareholder, an executive Director and the chairman of the Company. Accordingly, the Purchaser is an associate of Mr. Zeng Huansha and therefore a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Therefore, the Disposals also constitute a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements.

The Company will convene an EGM to approve the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder. An Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors has been established by the Company to consider the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder and to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms or better, fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Company has appointed the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

A circular containing, among other things, details of the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, a letter from the Independent Board Committee, the recommendations of the Independent Financial Adviser, the property valuation report prepared by the Independent Valuer, together with a notice of EGM and other information as required under the Listing Rules is expected to be despatched to the Shareholders on or before March 28, 2025, which is over 15 business days from the date of this announcement under Rule 14.60(7) of the Listing Rules, as additional time is required to compile the aforesaid information and prepare the circular.

Completion of the Disposals is conditional upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out below in this announcement. Accordingly, the Disposals may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are therefore advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.

THE PARKING SPACES TRANSFER FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

Principal terms

Principal terms of the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement are summarized below:

Date: February 17, 2025

Parties: The Company, as the seller; and

The Purchaser, as the purchaser

Subject Matter: Pursuant to the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement, the Company has conditionally agreed to sell, and Purchaser has conditionally agreed to purchase the property right or the right of use (as the case may be) of the Target Parking Spaces owned by the Group, subject to the terms and conditions of the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement.

In case where the Group has the real estate right certificate (the "Certification") of the relevant Target Parking Spaces (and in such case the Group has the title of property such as the right of ownership, possession, use, transfer and income), the property right of such Target Parking Spaces will be transferred as contemplated under the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement.

  • 4 -

Where the Certification of the relevant Target Parking Spaces cannot be applied for or obtained, only the right of use (instead of the property right) of such Target Parking Spaces will be transferred as contemplated under the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement. Such right of use includes, without limitations, right of possession, transfer, lease, operation and management, income, advertising income, etc. The respective term of the right of use of such Target Parking Spaces is up to the expiration date of the term of the right of use of the land on which such Target Parking Spaces are located, so that the entire potential economic benefits of such Target Parking Spaces will be transferred to the Purchaser. As advised by the Company's PRC legal adviser, this constitutes a valid transfer of the right of use of these Target Parking Spaces to the Purchaser Group, which is permitted under the applicable PRC laws.

Separate transfer agreements

The Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement is a framework agreement. Subject to the compliance with the Listing Rules (including but not limited to obtaining the approval from the Independent Shareholders at the EGM for the transaction contemplated under the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement) and the satisfaction of the conditions precedents as set out below, the Group and the Purchaser Group shall enter into separate transfer agreements for the transfer of the property right or the right of use (as the case may be) of the Target Parking Spaces.

The Company and the Purchaser must enter into separate transfer agreements by each project concerning the Target Parking Spaces because each project may involve different counterparties, specifically the respective members of the Group and the Purchaser's Group responsible for such project. Furthermore, under the applicable PRC law, property title transfer would be subject to registration with the relevant local authorities in the PRC. Considering that the Target Parking Spaces are located at different provinces, having separate transfer agreements is essential for such registration process.

  • 5 -

Therefore, the key difference between the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the separate transfer agreements will be the counterparties, as the transfer agreements for each project shall be entered into by different members of the Group and the Purchaser’s Group, in accordance with the existing ownership of the relevant Target Parking Spaces and the intended entities of the Purchaser Group that will purchase the same. Except for the counterparties, the separate transfer agreements will adhere to the terms and conditions of the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement, including the price cap, payment terms, and delivery methods for the Target Parking Spaces. Hence, the separate transfer agreements do not constitute new notifiable or connected transactions under the Listing Rules.

Consideration:

The total consideration is expected to be approximately RMB230.92 million and will be settled by cash.

Such consideration is subject to adjustments (“Adjustments”) based on the final valuation assessed by the Independent Valuer, in the event that any Target Parking Space is subject to ownership disputes. In such cases, the Purchaser may elect to replace these Target Parking Spaces with comparable parking spaces as agreed upon by the parties. As a result, the final valuation of the Target Parking Spaces could differ from the preliminary estimate, which will, in turn, affect the final consideration. Details of valuation and the considerations of parking spaces by project are set out in the paragraphs headed “Valuation of the Target Parking Spaces” and “Information on the Target Parking Spaces” below.

The final consideration is not expected to exceed the aforementioned figure. The final consideration and scope of the Target Parking Spaces will be disclosed in the circular regarding the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement to be despatched to the Shareholders. In the event that (i) the final consideration exceeds the aforementioned figure, or (ii) there is a change in the final scope of the Target Parking Spaces after obtaining the Shareholders’ approval for the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement, the Company shall re-comply with the reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules as and when required.

  • 6 -

  • 7 -

Payment Schedule:

The consideration for each project will be paid in three installments:

Initial payment: the Purchaser shall pay 50% of the consideration to the Company within seven (7) business days after the execution of the separate transfer agreements;

Second payment: the Purchaser shall pay an additional 40% of the consideration to the Company within seven (7) business days following the completion of property right or the right of use (as the case may be) transfer registration and the handover of relevant documentation; and

Final payment: the remaining 10% of the consideration shall be paid to the Company within twelve (12) months after the execution of the separate transfer agreement.

Basis of the Consideration:

The consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties with reference to:

(i) the book value of the Target Parking Spaces as at December 31, 2024 of RMB238.07 million;

(ii) the market value of the Target Parking Spaces as at December 31, 2024 of no more than RMB230.92 million, as preliminarily valued by the Independent Valuer, subject to possible adjustments as detailed in the paragraphs headed “Consideration” under this table;

(iii) as a result, the final valuation of the Target Parking Spaces could differ from the preliminary estimate. Details of valuation are set out in the paragraphs headed “Valuation of the Target Parking Spaces” below;

(iv) the prevailing property market conditions;

(v) the expected administrative cost of the Purchaser to realize the disposed assets; and

(vi) the reasons and benefits as particularized in the paragraphs headed “Reasons for and Benefits of the Disposals” below.


  • 8 -

Conditions Precedent:

Completion is conditional upon fulfillment of the following conditions:

(i) both parties have obtained the approval of their respective independent shareholders at the general meeting of both parties in respect of the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and

(ii) the satisfaction of all the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules.

Completion:

The Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement is a framework agreement. Subject to the compliance with the Listing Rules (including but not limited to obtaining the approval from the Independent Shareholders at the EGM for the transaction contemplated under the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement) and the satisfaction of the conditions precedents as set out above, the Group and the Purchaser Group shall enter into separate transfer agreements for the transfer of the property right or the right of use (as the case may be) of the Target Parking Spaces.

Details of the transfers, including the final transfer price and the number of parking spaces to be transferred for each project, will be subject to the separate transfer agreements for each project, provided that the clauses in the separate transfer agreements shall be in compliance with the requirements of the Listing Rules and shall not be in conflict with the terms of the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement.

Long Stop Date:

Unless terminated earlier by either party in accordance with its provisions, this agreement shall remain in effect for a period of 12 months from the date of the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement.


The Directors consider that the 12-month period is justifiable because both parties will require sufficient time to implement the sale and purchase for each Target Parking Space, including entering into separate transfer agreements and conducting the necessary registration of titles and taking into account the circular and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements applicable to the transactions contemplated under the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Valuation of the Target Parking Spaces

The Company has appointed the Independent Valuer to conduct an independent valuation on the fair market value of the Target Parking Spaces as at December 31, 2024.

Methodology

The Independent Valuer adopted the market comparison approach as the valuation approach for the Target Parking Spaces with Certifications or those without Certifications but with documented use of right transactions. This approach assumes sale of each Target Parking Space in its existing state with the benefit of vacant possession by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the market, with appropriate adjustments made for factors such as age, location, transaction timing, and other relevant attributes.

For the Target Parking Spaces without Certifications or documented use of right transactions, the income capitalization approach is used for valuation. This approach capitalizes the forecasted rental income at the market rate over the remaining use term of the Target Parking Spaces as at the valuation date under used assumption.

Key assumptions

The Independent Valuer’s valuation excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by circumstances such as atypical financing, special concessions, or any element of value unique to a specific owner or purchaser. It presumes all necessary consents, approvals, and licenses from relevant government authorities are assumed to have been obtained without onerous conditions or delays, and the properties are considered compliant with local planning and other relevant regulations and have been approved by the relevant authorities. In addition, the properties are assumed to be free from encumbrances, restrictions, or obligations that could impact their value, with no allowances made for charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties nor any expenses or taxation related to sales.

Further information on the valuation of the Target Parking Spaces will be disclosed in the circular regarding the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement to be despatched to the Shareholders.

THE EQUITY TRANSFER AGREEMENTS

Background

As of December 31, 2024, the Outstanding Payables due to the Purchaser mainly consist of three components: (i) approximately RMB90 million for Purchaser’s pre-delivery management services for the Company’s unsold units and Purchaser’s services provided to property sales venues, such as display units and sales offices; (ii) approximately RMB83 million for Purchaser’s commercial property management services; and (iii) approximately RMB286 million for refundable deposits related to the Purchaser’s parking space sales agency services. These Outstanding Payables reflect the nature of ongoing operational and contractual relationships between the Purchaser and the Group.

The following table sets forth an aging analysis of the Outstanding Payables (based on the invoice date) as at the date of this announcement:

Component (i) Component (ii) Component (iii)
Amount (unaudited) Amount (unaudited) Amount (unaudited)
(RMB million) % (RMB million) % (RMB million) %
Within 1 year 38 42.2 36 43.4 21 7.3
1-2 years 52 57.8 47 56.6 265 92.7
Total 90 100 83 100 286 100

Given the amount of outstanding balance of each of these payables due to the Purchaser from the Group, particularly the refundable deposits related to parking spaces sales agency services that mostly consist of payables aged at least one year, the Purchaser sought to expedite the recovery of these selected Outstanding Payables by entering into the Equity Transfer Agreements.

Such considerations are subject to adjustments upon completion of the relevant audit of the accounts of the Target Companies, as agreed upon by the parties in writing.

In the event that the final considerations exceed the aforementioned amount, the Company shall re-comply with the reporting, announcement and independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapters 14 and 14A of the Listing Rules as and when required.

Basis of the Consideration:

Such considerations were determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties with reference to:

(i) the net asset value in the respective management accounts of Target Company A, Target Company B and Target Company C as at December 31, 2024, amounted to RMB223.98 million, RMB233.28 million and negative RMB103.86 million, respectively;

(ii) the outstanding payables due to Target Company A from the Group, as recorded in the management accounts of Target Company A as at December 31, 2024, amounted to RMB14.39 million;

(iii) the outstanding receivables due from Target Company B and Target Company C to the Group, as recorded in their respective management accounts as at December 31, 2024, amounted to RMB27.29 million and RMB61.07 million, respectively;


(iv) the expected administrative cost of the Purchaser Group to realize the disposed assets; and
(v) the reasons and benefits as particularized in the paragraphs headed "Reasons for and Benefits of the Disposals" below.

In particular, the consideration was arrived taking into account of the following:

Target Company A

The net asset value of Target Company A as at December 31, 2024 was RMB223.98 million. With a 70% equity interest being acquired, this amounts to RMB156.79 million. After deducting RMB14.39 million in payables owed to Target Company A by the Group, the obligations of which will be transferred to and assumed by Nanjing Hong Life in their entirety upon completion of the Equity Transfer, the net consideration for the 70% equity interest in Target Company A shall be RMB142.4 million.

Target Company B

The net asset value of Target Company B as at December 31, 2024 was RMB233.28 million. With a 20% equity interest being acquired, this amounts to RMB46.66 million. Adding RMB27.29 million in receivables owed to the Group by Target Company B, the rights to which will be transferred to and acquired by Nanjing Hong Life in their entirety upon completion of the Equity Transfer, the net consideration for the 20% equity interest in Target Company B is RMB73.95 million.

  • 13 -

  • 14 -

Target Company C

The net asset value of Target Company C as at December 31, 2024 was negative RMB103.86 million. With a 19% equity interest being acquired, this amounts to negative RMB19.73 million. Adding RMB61.07 million in receivables owed to the Group by Target Company C, the rights to which will be transferred to and acquired by Nanjing Hong Life in their entirety upon completion of the Equity Transfer, the net consideration for the 19% equity interest in Target Company C is RMB41.34 million.

Conditions Precedent:

Completion is conditional upon fulfillment of the following conditions:

(i) the transfer of the equity interests of Target Company A, Target Company B and Target Company C contemplated hereunder comply with the articles of association of Target Company A, Target Company B and Target Company C, respectively and having obtained the consent and waiver of the first refusal right from the respective remaining shareholders of Target Company A, Target Company B and Target Company C, respectively;

(ii) both parties have obtained the approval of their respective independent shareholders at the general meeting of both parties in respect of the agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and

(iii) the satisfaction of all the applicable requirements under the Listing Rules.

Completion:

Upon completion of the Equity Transfer:

(i) the Company will cease to have any interest in Target Company A and the financial results of Target Company A will cease to be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group; and

(ii) the Company will cease to have any interest in either Target Company B or Target Company C and their performance will no longer be reflected in the share of results of joint ventures and associates of the Group.


Long Stop Date:

Unless terminated earlier by either party in accordance their respective provisions, each of these agreements shall remain in effect for a period of 12 months from the date of the respective Equity Transfer Agreements.

The Directors consider that the 12-month period is reasonable because both parties will require sufficient time to implement the sale and purchase for each of the Target Companies, including completing the industrial and commercial registration for the equity transfer of each Target Company and taking into account the circular and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements applicable to the transactions contemplated under the Equity Transfer Agreements in accordance with the Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSALS

During the past few years, a number of real estate enterprises had faced challenges in business operations owing to a combination of factors including downward pressure on the real estate industry, obstruction in financing channels, decline in sales performance and delay in payment collection due to late delivery resulting from delay in construction progress. Construction suspension and late delivery becomes increasingly common in the real estate industry. These challenges have adversely affected the Group’s financial performance and increased the difficulties in sustaining the property construction and payment to suppliers.

To fulfill the Group’s obligations of timely delivery of presold properties, after continuous negotiation between the Company and the Purchaser, given the long track record of cooperation and mutual trust between the Company and the Purchaser, both parties agreed to enter into the Agreements to offset part of the Outstanding Payables and provide extra cash for the Company. Upon completion of the Disposals, the cashflow and liquidity of the Company can be strengthened.

  • 15 -

In view of the above, the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) is of the view that, for the reasons for and benefits of the Disposals and the basis of determination of the consideration for the Disposals set out above, despite the Agreements and the Disposals were not entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the terms of the Agreements (including the respective considerations) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSALS

Disposal of the Target Parking Spaces

Upon completion, the Company will cease to have any interest in the Target Parking Spaces. It is estimated that the Company will recognize a net loss before tax of approximately RMB7.14million, subject to the review and final audit by the auditor of the Company, with respect to disposal of the Target Parking Spaces, which is calculated with reference to the maximum consideration under the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the book value of the Target Parking Spaces as at December 31, 2024.

The actual amount of gain or loss to be recorded with respect to disposal of the Target Parking Spaces will be subject to the review and final audit by the auditor of the Company.

Disposal of Target Companies

Upon completion, the Company will cease to have any interest in Target Company A and the financial results of Target Company A will cease to be consolidated into the financial statements of the Group.

Upon completion, the Company will cease to have any interest in either Target Company B or Target Company C and their performance will no longer be reflected in the share of results of joint ventures and associates of the Group.

Given the consideration of Equity Transfer and the amount of Outstanding Payables to offset will be on a dollar-for-dollar basis, assuming the consideration to be fully offset by Outstanding Payables, the Group will not record any gain or loss in the Group's financial statement as a result of the Equity Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder. The actual amount of gain or loss to be recorded with respect to Equity Transfer will be subject to the review and final audit by the auditors of the Company.

The Directors are of the view that the Disposals, whether separately or in aggregate, will not result in any material adverse impact on the operation of the core business of the Group.

The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Disposals as a general working capital of the Group for property construction in order to ensure timely deliveries of presold properties.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Given that the transactions under the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements were entered into between the Group and the Purchaser Group within 12 months and are of a same nature, the Disposals constitute a series of transactions which are required to be aggregated pursuant to the Listing Rules.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Disposals exceeds 75%, the Disposals constitute a very substantial disposal for the Company pursuant to Rule 14.06(4) of the Listing Rules and are therefore subject to reporting, announcement, circular and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As of the date of this announcement, the Purchaser is indirectly held as to 72.77% by Mr. Zeng Huansha, a Controlling Shareholder, an executive Director and the chairman of the Company. Accordingly, the Purchaser is an associate of Mr. Zeng Huansha and therefore a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Therefore, the Disposals also constitute a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements.

The Company will convene an EGM to approve the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder. An Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors has been established by the Company to consider the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder and to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms or better, fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Company has appointed the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

A circular containing, among other things, details of the Parking Spaces Transfer Framework Agreement and the Equity Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, a letter from the Independent Board Committee, the recommendations of the Independent Financial Adviser, the property valuation report prepared by the Independent Valuer, together with a notice of EGM and other information as required under the Listing Rules is expected to be despatched to the Shareholders on or before March 28, 2025, which is over 15 business days from the date of this announcement under Rule 14.60(7) of the Listing Rules, as additional time is required to compile the aforesaid information and prepare the circular.

Completion of the Disposals is conditional upon the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out below in this announcement. Accordingly, the Disposals may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are therefore advised to exercise caution when dealing in the shares of the Company.
