Future Land Development Holdings Limited 新城發展控股有限公司

(incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)

(Stock Code: 1030)

DISCLOSEABLE AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO FORMATION OF THE JOINT VENTURE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LAND PARCEL IN CHENGDU, SICHUAN

On October 27, 2015, Future Land Wanbo, Chengdu Future Land and Beijing Qianshi entered into the Agreement stipulating the Joint Venture in relation to the development of the Target Land Parcel located in Chengdu, Sichuan, the PRC.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, Beijing Qianshi is a substantial shareholder of a subsidiary of the Company and therefore is a connected person at the subsidiary level of the Company under Rule 14A.06(9) of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Agreement constitutes a connected transaction for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Beijing Qianshi will invest RMB800 million in equity capital in Chengdu Future Land in cash. After the Capital Injection, Chengdu Future Land will change from a wholly-owned subsidiary of Future Land Wanbo to an equity Joint Venture in which Future Land Wanbo and Beijing Qianshi hold 11.11% and 88.89% equity interests respectively. As such, the formation of the Joint Venture also constitutes a deemed disposal under Rule 14.29 of the Listing Rules.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio under the Agreement exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the formation of the Joint Venture constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the announcement requirement but exempt from the Shareholders’ approval under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As (i) the Board has approved the Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder and (ii) the independent non-executive Directors have confirmed that the terms of the Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, and are on normal commercial terms or better and in the ordinary course of business of the Company and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, the Agreement is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but is exempted from the circular, independent financial advice and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules.
