REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE SIXTH DISPOSAL

The Group estimates that based on the difference between the average acquisition price of RMB11.09 per share and the average selling price of HK$14.93 (equivalent to approximately RMB12.59) per share of the 4,407,600 Tongcheng-Elong Shares disposed of in the Sixth Disposal, there will be a gain of approximately RMB6.6 million from the Sixth Disposal included in other comprehensive income. The Board intends to apply the net proceeds from the Sixth Disposal as working capital.

The Sixth Disposal was made at market price and the Board is of the view that the Sixth Disposal is conducted in the ordinary course of the Group’s equity investment and fund management businesses. The Sixth Disposal is fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms. Having considered that the Sixth Disposal can realise a portion of the Company’s investments and enhance the liquidity of the Company, the Board considers that the Sixth Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
