To the Shareholders
Dear Sir or Madam,
MAJOR TRANSACTION DISPOSAL OF 34% EQUITY INTERESTS IN PROJECT COMPANY
INTRODUCTION
Reference is made to the announcement of the Company in relation to the disposal of 34% equity interests in the Project Company dated 9 August 2023 (the ‘‘Announcement’’).
– 4 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further details of the Disposal; and (ii) the valuation report on the property interest held by the Project Company.
THE EQUITY AND DEBT TRANSFER AGREEMENT
The following sets forth a summary of the principal terms of the Equity and Debt Transfer Agreement:
Date
9 August 2023
Parties
-
(a) Hongzong Real Estate, an indirect non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company;
-
(b) PRI Real Estate, a company established in the PRC with limited liability; and
-
(c) the Project Company, a company established in the PRC with limited liability which is held as to 66% by PRI Real Estate and 34% by Hongzong Real Estate respectively as at the Latest Practicable Date.
Subject Matter
Pursuant to the Equity and Debt Transfer Agreement, Hongzong Real Estate agreed to sell the Sale Shares, representing 34% equity interests in the Project Company, and the Sale Loan, representing the shareholder’s loan owed by the Project Company to Hongzong Real Estate; and PRI Real Estate agreed to purchase the Sale Shares and the Sale Loan. Upon completion of the Disposal, the Group will cease to hold any interest in the Project Company.
Consideration and Payment Terms
Pursuant to the Equity and Debt Transfer Agreement, the consideration payable in cash by PRI Real Estate shall be RMB295 million, which consists of:
-
(a) the consideration for the transfer of the Sale Shares, representing 34% equity interests in the Project Company, in the amount of RMB0; and
-
(b) the consideration for the assignment of the Sale Loan in the amount of RMB295 million,
and accordingly, the aggregate consideration of the Disposal shall be RMB295 million.
PRI Real Estate shall deposit the aggregate consideration to an escrow account to be opened in the name of Hongzong Real Estate with a financial seal reserved by Hongzong Real Estate and a personal seal reserved by PRI Real Estate (the ‘‘Escrow

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Account’’), within five working days after the signing of the Equity and Debt Transfer Agreement. The Disposal was not subject to any condition precedent and subsequently on 15 August 2023, the Disposal was completed and the Company has already received the consideration of RMB295 million on 15 August 2023.
In view of the fact that as at 31 December 2022, the net liability of the Project Company amount to RMB83.21 million. As the fair value of net assets equals to the equity value, the equity value of the Project Company is therefore RMB0; based on the current project sales of the Project Company and the expected arrangements for collection of sales proceeds; and taking into account the time value of the repatriation of funds and the expected losses on the Project Company’s current projects, the Company considers that the investment made by the shareholder(s) of the Project Company would not be able to be fully recovered. Therefore, there is a discount in the consideration for the Sale Loan. Accordingly, the consideration has been determined on the basis of normal commercial terms and after arm’s length negotiations with reference to, among others, (i) the estimated valuation of the Project Company’s equity of RMB0 and the amount of the Sale Loan; and (ii) the valuation of the properties of the Project Company. In essence, based on the above and taking into account the balance of the debt of the Company after the accounting adjustment for the excessive losses of approximately RMB326 million, which shall have an estimated discounted amount of future sales receipts of approximately RMB31 million, it renders the difference between therein of RMB295 million.
Completion
Completion of the Disposal shall take place on the day on which the local market supervision and administration authority issues the notice of registration of approval for the Disposal or the Project Company obtains the new business licence. Within two working days upon completion of the Disposal, PRI Real Estate shall arrange for full release of the consideration in the Escrow Account to an account designated by Hongzong Real Estate.
Among others, within three working days from the date of completion of the registration of the change of shareholding pursuant to the Equity and Debt Transfer Agreement, the Project Company shall cease the use of all the brands related to ‘‘Hongyang’’ and complete the renaming of the projects accordingly.
INFORMATION ON THE PROJECT COMPANY
The Project Company is a company established in the PRC with limited liability on 22 September 2020 which is principally engaged in real estate development and operation. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Project Company is held as to 66% by PRI Real Estate and 34% by Hongzong Real Estate, respectively.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Project Company only has one property project, i.e. Zeng Cheng Times in Guangzhou, which is located in Yongning, Zengcheng District, Guangzhou City, covering an area of 53,392.15 square meters and a total construction area of 246,984.57 square meters. The main business types in the zone are high-rise residential buildings and ground floor commercial buildings. The project is currently under construction.
Financial information of the Project Company
The table below sets forth the unaudited consolidated financial information of the Project Company (prepared in accordance with the applicable financial reporting standards in the PRC) for the two financial years ended 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2022:
| For the | For the | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| year ended | year ended | |||
| 31 December | 31 December | |||

| Net | loss | before taxation | 11,837 | 76,666 |
| Net | loss | after taxation | 8,889 | 83,704 |
The unaudited net liability of the Project Company as at 31 December 2022 was approximately RMB83.21 million. The unaudited net liability of the Project Company as at 30 June 2023 was approximately RMB555.63 million.
Valuation on the property interest held by the Project Company
The Company has closely negotiated and discussed with the valuer in relation to the preparation of the valuation report since the discussion for the entering into of the Equity and Debt Transfer Agreement began to procure the compliance with Rule 5.07 of the Listing Rules, and therefore the preparation of the valuation report by the valuer with the effective date of 31 July 2023, which is the closest valuation date available to the completion date of the Disposal.
Upon the entering into of the Equity and Debt Transfer Agreement on 9 August 2023, the Company had been actively seeking for a suitable financial adviser to assist the Company. However, out of the Company’s expectation and planning, the process of seeking for a suitable financial adviser has caused the Company a substantial amount of time. The Company has taken extra time to engage and cooperate with the financial adviser and the difficulties encountered has inevitably prolonged the time required for the preparation of the circular despite the Company’s best effort in complying with Rule 5.07 of the Listing Rules.
In order to ensure compliance with Rule 5.07 of the Listing Rules in future in similar circumstances, the Company would further improve its internal control system implemented to enhance the awareness of the senior management and core team of employees handling disclosure related matters of the Company such that the engagement process of a suitable financial adviser of relevant projects could begin in an earlier stage of the discussion process
– 7 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
of the agreement. Also, the Company would maintain a list of suitable financial advisers with whom the Company has cooperated with or would like to corporate with such that the Company would be able to engage a suitable financial adviser earlier in any upcoming transactions of the Company.

The terms of the Equity and Debt Transfer Agreement have been arrived after arm’s length negotiations among the parties. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) have confirmed that the terms of the Equity and Debt Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms or better and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. Accordingly, none of the Directors are required to abstain from voting on the Board resolutions approving the Equity and Debt Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL
Upon completion of the Disposal, it is estimated that the Company would record a loss on the Disposal before taxation of approximately RMB31 million, being the difference between the balance of the debt of the Company, taking into account the accounting adjustment for the excessive losses, of approximately RMB326 million and the aggregate consideration for the Disposal of RMB295 million.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

issued share capital of the Company. Accordingly, no general meeting will be held for approving the Equity and Debt Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

– I-1 –
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
Save as aforesaid or as otherwise disclosed herein, and apart from intra-group liabilities, the Group did not have any debt securities issued and outstanding, or authorized or otherwise created but unissued, or term loans, or other borrowings or indebtedness in the nature of borrowing of the Group including bank overdrafts and liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits or hire purchase commitments, or mortgages and charges, and there were no other material contingent liabilities nor guarantees at the close of business on 31 March 2024.
III. SUFFICIENCY OF WORKING CAPITAL
The Directors are of the opinion that, after due and careful enquiry, taking into account the present available financial resources and the estimated maximum net proceeds of approximately RMB295 million from the disposal of 34% equity interests in the Project Company, the Group would not have sufficient working capital for the next 12 months, with an estimated shortfall in working capital of approximately RMB12,290.2 million to RMB13,718.5 million.
Major assumptions and events taken into account by the Directors in preparing the working capital forecast include:
-
(i) the disposal of 34% equity interests in the Project Company will be completed in February 2024 and the payment of the consideration of RMB295 million will be settled in accordance with the Equity and Debt Transfer Agreement;
-
(ii) no new financing (including debt financing and/or equity financing and/or any other alternative financing) will be obtained by the Group; and
-
(iii) the core business operation and asset base (including real assets, financial assets and any other forms of assets and/or liabilities and contingent liabilities) of the Group and the market conditions in which the Group operates and/or invests in will not differ materially from those of present, including no acquisition or disposal and/or intended acquisition or disposal (save for the Disposal) with concrete terms would be proposed, conducted and/or completed by the Group during the next 12 months.
Nevertheless, the abovementioned shortfall in working capital was mainly attributable to the full repayment of (i) the Group’s bank and other borrowings and senior notes which were defaulted as at 31 March 2024 or will be due within the next twelve months amounted to approximately RMB12,477.6 million, including certain bank and other borrowings and senior notes which were defaulted as at 31 March 2024 amounted to approximately RMB7,918.8 million; (ii) the interest of certain bank and other borrowings and senior notes which were defaulted as at 31 March 2024 amounted to RMB1,285.3 million, triggering the events of default of certain senior notes amounted to RMB4,050.9 million; and (iii) certain bank and other borrowings that cross-defaults were triggered amounted to RMB790.1 million.
– I-2 –
APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
The Board has continuously devoted effort to resolve the shortfall in working capital mentioned above, including but not limited to:
-
(i) The Group has appointed financial advisors to assist it with a holistic restructuring of its offshore debts, in order to reach a consensual solution with all the stakeholders as soon as practicable;
-
(ii) The Group has been actively negotiating with several banks and financial institutions on the extension for repayments of certain borrowings;
-
(iii) The Group has been actively negotiating with several financial institutions to obtain new loans at a reasonable cost for ensuring delivery of its property projects under development;
-
(iv) The Group will continue to seek for other alternative financing and borrowings to finance the settlement of its existing financial obligations and future operating and capital expenditures;
-
(v) The Group has prepared a business strategy plan mainly focusing on the acceleration of the sales of properties;
-
(vi) The Group has implemented measures to speed up the collection of outstanding sales proceeds and effectively control costs and expenses; and
-
(vii) The Group will continue to seek suitable opportunities to dispose of its equity interests in certain project development companies in order to generate additional cash inflows.
The Board is of the opinion that, taking into account the abovementioned plans and measures, the Group will have sufficient working capital to finance its operations and to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due within twelve months from 31 March 2024.
IV. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP
As disclosed in the 2023 Interim Report of the Company, in the face of the continual downturn of the industry and market, the Group will adjust its sales strategy in accordance with the actual situation and actively expand its sales, taking into account the business mindset of ‘‘preserving the value of products and safeguarding assets’’. On the investment side, the Group will promote cash flow through multiple channels; and on the risk control side, efforts will be made to help the Company realize cash inflow, reduce costs and increase efficiency.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
The Company will ensure project delivery and continue to fulfil its delivery commitments. While ensuring the quantity of project delivery, the Company will also ensure the quality of delivery as well as the safety and stability of cash flow by controlling three major expenses, preventing risks, and keeping the expenditure within the limits of revenues.
