LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As disclosed in the Subscription Announcements, the Company invested a total of RMB500 million in the Fund, which in turn invested in fixed income financial products. The Fund is an open-ended fund which could issue and redeem shares any time, with a term of 15 years upon its inception. According to the terms of the Subscription Agreement, the Company shall have the right to redeem the relevant units at any time prior to the maturity of the term of the Fund by giving prior notice to the manager of the Fund. The redemption shall be calculated at the net asset value of the Fund per unit multiplied by the number of units to be redeemed at the time of the redemption application.

On 24 June 2022, the Company fully redeemed the Fund in the amount of RMB500 million in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement (the “ Redemption ”) at an aggregate redemption proceeds of RMB520,827,687.69 (i.e 494,458,833.83 units). Based on the net asset value of the Fund as at the date of the Redemption, the redemption price was approximately RMB1.05 per unit.

Please refer to the Subscription Announcements for further details of the Subscription Agreement.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE REDEMPTION AND INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS

As a result of the Redemption, the cash balance of the Company increased by RMB520,827,687.69 and the financial assets held-for-trading of the Company decreased by RMB500,000,000. Accordingly, the Company recorded an investment income of RMB20,827,687.69 (before the tax) and a net income of RMB19,648,761.97 in its financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2022, which was the difference between the net proceeds from the Redemption and the carrying value of the Fund in the Company’s books. The Company intended to use the net proceeds from the Redemption as general working capital of the Group.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE GROUP AND BEIJING TONGXING

The Company is a limited liability company established in the PRC, the issued H Shares of which are listed on the Stock Exchange. The Group is principally engaged in property management services, value-added services to non-property owners and community valueadded services.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief and having made reasonable enquiry, Beijing Tongxing is owned as to 75% and 25% by Mr. Zhou Jichang (周 繼昌) (“ Mr. Zhou ”) and Tongxing Wencheng (Beijing) Asset Management Company Limited* (同興穩成(北京)投資管理有限公司), respectively. Further details of Mr. Zhou and Tongxing Wencheng (Beijing) Asset Management Company Limited are set out in the Subscription Announcements.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiry, Beijing Tongxing and its ultimate beneficial owner are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules).

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE REDEMPTION

As stated in the interim results announcement of the Company dated 31 August 2022, the Group redeemed the Fund in full in order to reasonably and effectively improve the efficiency of capital utilization in view of the investment environment in the market. The Redemption was made in accordance with the Subscription Agreement, which allowed the Group to recognize a net income of approximately RMB20 million.

In view of the above, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Redemption are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The Redemption is the exercise of an option under Rule 14.75(2), and thus a transaction under Rule 14.04(1)(b) of the Listing Rules. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Redemption exceeds 25% but is less than 75%, the Redemption constitutes a major disposal for the Company and is subject to the reporting and announcement, circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene and hold a general meeting for the approval of the Redemption. In lieu of holding a general meeting, the Company has obtained a written Shareholders’ approval for the Redemption from RiseSun Real Estate Development Co. Ltd. pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules. As at the date of the Redemption and the Latest Practicable Date, RiseSun Real Estate Development Co. Ltd., directly held 235,527,000 Domestic Shares, representing approximately 62.64% of the entire issued share capital of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REMEDIAL MEASURES

As stated in the Redemption Announcement, due to the misinterpretation of the Listing Rules, the Company mistakenly believed that there was no disclosure obligation under the Listing Rules regarding the Redemption, as the Company mistakenly believed that the redemption right exercised by the Company in accordance with the Subscription Agreement would not be considered as the exercise of an option under Rule 14.75(2) of the Listing Rules, which rendered the Redemption a separate standalone transaction under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

The Board recognizes, for the avoidance of future occurrence of the above incident, the need to enhance its internal control and compliance measures. To prevent similar incident from occurring, the management of the Company undertakes to take steps to strengthen the internal controls over the procedures for all obligations under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. In particular, the Company has put in place the following internal control measures:

  • (i) engaging professional parties to provide regular internal trainings on general disclosure obligations and notifiable transaction(s) to all relevant personnel, including accounting staff and senior management in all business departments of the Group to reinforce and re-explain the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules. Particularly, on 28 October 2022, Maxa Capital Limited, the compliance adviser of the Company has provided an internal training on general disclosure obligation and notifiable transactions under the Listing Rules to all relevant personnel of the Company;

  • (ii) strengthening the implementation of its internal control system on transactions, including but not limited to the strengthening of the coordination and reporting arrangements for notifiable transactions among various departments of the Company. Particularly, the relevant personnel and management from the business department of the Group shall first consult with the board affairs department of the Group before entering into any agreements. For those agreements which did not have any implication under the Listing Rules, the board affairs department shall report the same to the chief financial officer of the Company for final approval; and

  • (iii) for any agreements which may constitute new notifiable transaction(s) of the Group, the board affairs department will consult with professional advisers and the Stock Exchange (where necessary) in a timely manner prior to the entering into of such agreements.

RECOMMENDATION

The Directors are of the view that the terms of the Redemption are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as whole. If a general meeting were to be convened for the approval of the Redemption, the Board would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Redemption at such general meeting.

Chinese consumers’ demand for better living conditions and high-quality property services has been increasing year by year, which has boosted the development of the property services industry, and caused the standards and connotations of property services to be redefined. Propelled by the two drivers of the capital market and user demand, companies in the property services industry are no longer limited to the four traditional services of security, cleaning, greening and maintenance, but have been developed into comprehensive service providers with presence across multiple industries. With the rapid advancement of science and technology, industry development and evolving customer demand, higher requirements are being imposed for the coordination of community software and hardware, as well as for the capabilities of the managers in the property services industry to predict and plan in advance in the face of diversified business patterns in the future, to integrate brand genes by virtue of capital strength, and to participate in government planning and industrial layout in advance.
