LETTER FROM THE BOARD
INFORMATION ON THE GROUP
The principal business activity of the Company is investment holding. The Group is principally engaged in the comprehensive development business and the manufacture and sale of cartons and paper products.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
The Directors consider that the Disposal gives a good opportunity for the Group to realise a considerable gain which will be beneficial to the financial structure of the Group. The Disposal will also enable the Group to free up capital for its operations and explore potential new investment opportunities that may arise in the future.
The transfer of the Sale Shares (which amount to 51% of the total issued share capital of the Target Company) and the Sale Loan is the result of mutual negotiations between the parties. As confirmed by the Directors, as at the date of this circular, the Group has no current intention, arrangement, understanding or negotiation to dispose of further interests in the Target Company. The Company may however consider disposing of the remaining interests in the Target Company if the terms are favourable and/or circumstances are appropriate.
Upon Closing, there will be no change in relation to the Group’s principal businesses.
In light of the reasons above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement and the Supplemental Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
INFORMATION ON THE TARGET GROUP
The Target Company is a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with limited liability and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company before the Disposal. It is principally engaged in investment holding.
Honour Ray is an investment holding company which is directly and wholly-owned by the Target Company. It directly owns the entire equity capital in Chongqing Company, which is principally engaged in the real estate development and management of the properties under the Chongqing OCT Land Project. The Chongqing OCT Land Project comprises two land parcels with total site area of approximately 179,605 square metres. It is developed under two phases and is expected to be developed into a residential zone with a total plot ratio gross floor area of approximately 448,878 square metres. Phase 1 of the Chongqing OCT Land Project is under construction and will be completed by September 2018. As at the date of this circular, the residential properties under Phase 1 have been pre-sold. The contracted sales area and amount of properties are approximately 167,134 square metres and approximately RMB1.86 billion respectively, which are expected to be settled by the end of 2018. Phase 2 of the Chongqing OCT Land Project has not yet commenced.
– 10 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Since Phase 1 of the Chongqing OCT Land Project is expected to record revenue and profits by the end of 2018, whilst the land parcels under Phase 2 are still vacant, the Disposal provides a good opportunity for the Group to realize its assets and achieve considerable returns in advance, which will be beneficial to the cash flow and financial structure of the Group. Meanwhile, as the Group after the Disposal can still maintain a 49% shareholding of the Target Company and be able to share its future profits.
The Target Group currently does not have any business other than the business engaged by Chongqing Company.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP AND FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL ON THE COMPANY
As at 31 August 2017, the Target Group had unaudited consolidated total assets and net liabilities of approximately RMB2,428,035,000 and RMB68,672,000, respectively. Selected unaudited consolidated financial information of the Target Group is set out below:
| Year ended 31 December | Year ended 31 December | |
|---|---|---|
| 2015 | 2016 | |
| RMB’000 | RMB’000 | |
| Revenue | – | – |
| Net profit before taxation | 33,509 | 30,919 |
| Net profit after taxation | 31,814 | 31,136 |
The major component of the net profit of the Target Group amounted to approximately RMB31.8 million and approximately RMB31.1 million for the years ended 31 December 2015 and 2016 respectively being the net exchange gain arose from the borrowings in foreign currency from the Company for financing the Target Group.
Based on the unaudited net liabilities of the Target Group as at 31 August 2017, it is estimated that the Group will record a net gain of approximately RMB687 million from the Disposal. The assets and liabilities of the Group are estimated to be increased and decreased by approximately RMB117 million and RMB1,128 million respectively after the Disposal. The estimated increase in assets and decrease in liabilities of the Group after the Disposal is arrived at by exclusion of the assets and liabilities of the Target Group as at 31 August 2017, assuming the Disposal took place on 31 December 2016, and the estimate net proceeds, tax provision and re-allocation of the loan to the Target Group arisen from the Disposal. For details please refer to note 4 and note 5 of the pro forma adjustments set out on page III-8 of the Appendix III to the Circular. Any actual gain or loss from the Disposal will depend on the carrying value of the net liabilities of the Target Group upon Closing.
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Moreover, taking into account that the Consideration is determined based on the disposal of 51% of the issued share capital of the Target Company instead of the properties themselves, the excess of the Consideration over 51% of the net book value of the properties will amount to approximately RMB745,739,000.
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds from the Disposal after deducting related transaction costs and expenses are estimated to be approximately RMB1,394 million. It is expected that the net proceeds from the Disposal will be allocated in the following manner: (a) approximately 50% of the proceeds (equivalent to approximately RMB697 million) will be used for future investment and (b) the remaining 50% of the proceeds will be used as general working capital. Details of such allocation have not yet been confirmed and will be subject to future amendments (if any).
-
(i) As for the future investment, the Group has been actively exploring investment opportunities and it expects to acquire high quality resources and businesses with growth potentials, and currently the Company has not entered into any arrangement with any parties.
-
(ii) As for the general working capital, it is expected that (a) approximately RMB600 million will be used for repayment of principal and interests payable from banking borrowings; (b) approximately RMB76 million will be used for payment of dividends of preferential shares and senior guaranteed perpetual capital securities; and (c) the remaining amount of approximately RMB21 million will be used as other miscellaneous expenses arising in the ordinary course of business of the Group.
IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES
As one or more of the relevant applicable percentage ratios set forth under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal are 75% or more, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
The EGM will be convened and held for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
To the best knowledge of the Directors, as the Purchaser is an independent third party of the Company and no Shareholder has a material interest in the Disposal, none of the Shareholders and their respective close associates is required to abstain from voting in respect of the ordinary resolution to approve the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the EGM.
– 12 –

The Chengdu OCT Project will launch a high-end customized villa in the only eyot of downtown Chengdu and a new phase of high-rise residential properties, and will continue its sale of low-density residential properties and high-end office products.

The Financial Information is prepared by the Directors solely for the purpose of inclusion in this circular in connection with the Disposal. The Company’s auditors, RSM Hong Kong (the “reporting accountants”), were engaged to review the Financial Information of the Target Group set out on pages II-2 to II-7 of this circular in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” and with reference to Practice Note 750 “Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable the reporting accountants to obtain assurance that the reporting accountants would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the reporting accountants do not express an audit opinion.
Based on their review on the Financial Information of the Target Group, nothing has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the Financial Information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation as set out in note 3 below.

Dear Sirs,
INSTRUCTIONS
In accordance with your instructions to us to value the properties situated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) which are held by Overseas Chinese Town (Asia) Holdings Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), we confirm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of market values of the properties as at 30 September 2017 (the “valuation date”) for inclusion in a circular.
BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation is our opinion of the market value of the property concerned which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
Market value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.

Our valuation is prepared in compliance with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.
PROPERTY CATEGORIZATION AND VALUATION METHODOLOGY
In valuing the property in Group I, which is held by the Group under development in the PRC, we have valued the property on the basis that it will be developed and completed in accordance with the latest development proposal provided to us. We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licenses from relevant government authorities for the development proposal have been obtained without onerous conditions or delays. In arriving at our opinion of value, we have adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable market transactions as available in the market and have also taken into account the costs that will be expended to complete the development to reflect the quality of the completed development.
In valuing the property in Group II, which is held by the Group for future development in the PRC, we have adopted the direct comparison approach by making reference to comparable market transactions as available in the market.
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have been provided with copies of the title documents relating to the properties. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a very considerable extent on information given by the Group and the legal opinion issued by the Group’s PRC legal adviser, V & T Law Firm (萬商 天勤律師事務所), regarding the titles to the properties.
SOURCE OF INFORMATION
In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a considerable extent on information given by the Group and accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, development proposal, total and outstanding construction costs, estimated completion dates, site and floor areas, transaction records and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information provided to us and are therefore only approximations. No on-site measurements have been taken. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group, which is material to our valuation. We have also sought confirmation from the Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view.

APPENDIX IV
VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS
In valuing the properties in the PRC, unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that transferable land use rights of the properties for their respective specific terms at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable have already been fully paid. Unless otherwise stated, we have also assumed that the owners of the properties have good legal titles to the properties and have free and uninterrupted rights to occupy, use, lease, transfer or mortgage the properties for the whole of the respective unexpired terms as granted.
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on any property or for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect their values.
SITE INSPECTION
We have inspected the exterior and where possible, the interior of the properties. Site inspections of the properties were carried out on 30 October 2017 by our Mr. William Zhang (who is a China registered real estate and land appraiser with over 10 years’ experience in valuation of properties in the PRC) and Mr. Lucas Lu (who holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Land and Resources Management and has over 5 years’ experience in valuation of properties in the PRC). During the course of our inspections, we did not note any serious defects. Moreover, no structural survey has been made and we are therefore unable to report that the properties are free from rot, infestation or any other defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services. We have also not carried out investigations on site to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and the services for any future development. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and no extraordinary expenses or delay will be incurred during the development period.
CURRENCY
Unless otherwise stated, all money amounts are stated in Renminbi (“RMB”).
We enclose herewith our summary of values and valuation certificate.
