Information of OCT Shanghai Land

OCT Shanghai Land was established in the PRC with limited liability in April 2010. It is principally engaged in the development, operation, leasing, property management of commercial properties, residential properties, office premises, and culture and entertainment projects of land pieces in Shanghai, together with the management of related parking lots.

OCT Shanghai Land is currently engaged in the Suhewan project (蘇河灣項目) in Shanghai and held three pieces of land in the north coast of Suzhou River (蘇州河), Shanghai, the PRC. The Suhewan project is a comprehensive commercial project possessing distinctive features, which will include highend residential properties, low-rise residential by the shore, apartments, boutique business premises and boutique hotels upon completion of the constructions. The Suhewan project is located in the city centre of Shanghai with a total floor area (above ground) of approximately 280,000 square meters upon the completion of its construction. The Suhewan project will be constructed and completed in phases such that all necessary permits will be obtained for the construction and sale of properties. It is contemplated that a majority of the properties in the Suhewan project will be sold, starting in 2012 and thereby deriving revenue to OCT Shanghai Land in the same year. The development of the Suhewan project is expected to complete in 2016, and a small portion of the properties will be held by OCT Shanghai Land, thereby bringing sustainable income in the future.

As OCT Shanghai Land was newly established in the PRC in 2010 and is still in the early stage of development, there were no profits in 2010 and 2011 and it recorded a net loss of approximately RMB31,000,000 (audited) and RMB22,000,000 (unaudited) for the financial years ended 31 December 2010 and 2011 in accordance with the generally accepted accounting standards in the PRC, respectively. As at 31 December 2011, the unaudited net asset value of OCT Shanghai Land was approximately RMB1,447,000,000.

As the Suhewan project will be developed in phases and ready for sale or lease before the entire project’s completion in 2016, OCT Shanghai Land will derive its revenue from sales of properties and rental income of business premises held as investment properties before 2016. The revenue recognition policy is in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards.

Following Completion, OCT Shanghai Land will become a subsidiary of the Company, while during the period following Great Tec having made any part of the Capital Injection but prior to Completion, OCT Shanghai Land will be an associate of the Company.

  • 5 -

Great Tec and OCT Properties also entered into a joint venture contract and the articles of association in respect of OCT Shanghai Land with OCT Shanghai Land on the same date, which major terms are to reflect the Capital Injection. Set out below are principal terms of such joint venture contract and articles of association, in addition to those set out in the Capital Investment Agreement:

Rights of first refusal

Where an existing shareholder of OCT Shanghai Land proposes to transfer all or any part of its capital contribution in OCT Shanghai Land to a third party, it shall first obtain the consent of other shareholder(s) of OCT Shanghai Land, who will have a pre-emption right to acquire such capital contribution on the same terms and conditions

No encumbrance

No part of the equity interest of OCT Shanghai Land may be charged, pledged, or no encumbrance may be created thereon unless written consents have been obtained from other shareholder(s) of OCT Shanghai Land

Matters requiring Unanimous approval from all directors of OCT Shanghai unanimous approval Land shall be obtained for matters in relation to, among by all directors other things, termination and dissolution of OCT Shanghai Land, adjustment to its registered capital, pledge of assets of OCT Shanghai Land, pledge of equity interest of shareholder and merger and demerger of OCT Shanghai Land

Reasons for and Benefit of Entering Into the Capital Investment Agreement

In addition to its continual development in the business of design and manufacture of quality paperbased packaging containers and material, including corrugated paperboard and printed cartons for customers, the Group is also principally engaging in the development and operation of commercial complex. The Suhewan project of OCT Shanghai Land is a comprehensive business project possessing distinctive features. The Board believes that the Suhewan project is capable of deriving attractive return, and is confident in the prospects of the Suhewan project. The Company wishes the investment in OCT Shanghai Land would bring positive return, enhance the revenue, profit and scale of the Group as a whole, and become a milestone of the Group in achieving its strategic goals. OCT Ltd. and its subsidiaries (apart from the Group), as a whole, is strategically positioned as a developer and operator on the tourism and cultural business, and a property developer with cultural and tourism features. The Directors consider that the positioning of the Group on one hand, and OCT Ltd. and its subsidiaries (apart from the Group) on the other hand, are different. The Directors therefore consider that there exist no potential competition between the Group and OCT Ltd. and its subsidiaries.

The amount of contribution to be made by Great Tec under the Capital Investment Agreement was determined on normal commercial terms and arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between Great Tec and OCT Properties, taking into consideration: (i) land pieces of the Suhewan project held by OCT Shanghai Land, which locate in the heart of Shanghai along Suzhou River, having a long history of culture and humanities. In particular, the adjacent areas of the Suhewan project have been planned

  • 6 -

as high-end business and residential areas. The Company expects that such favourable location would bring sizeable income in the short run by OCT Shanghai Land selling its properties in the Suhewan project and stable rental income in the long run by its holding of properties in the Suhewan project; (ii) that the Capital Injection will enable the Group to broaden its income base, in particular, it is expected that the sale of properties would commence in 2012, thereby contributing relatively speedy return to investment to the Group; (iii) the potential economic growth in Shanghai; and (iv) the initial estimation of the property value of OCT Shanghai Land by an independent professional valuer, and the liability of OCT Shanghai Land.

The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors whose view will be rendered upon receiving the advice of the independent financial adviser) consider that the terms of the Capital Investment Agreement are fair and reasonable, and that the Capital Investment Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are in the interest of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole.
