The Purchaser shall pay interest calculated on a daily basis at the rate of 5% per annum on the balance of the Total Transaction Amount outstanding at the Completion Date (the “ Deferred Payment ”) until the date of actual payment (both dates inclusive).

At the Latest Practicable Date, Richcoast was a subsidiary of the Group under the Listing Rules but was accounted for as an associate of the Company in the financial statements of the Group. Following Completion, Richcoast will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the Group will no longer hold any shareholding interest in Richcoast.

Guarantee

SODH has agreed to guarantee to the Purchaser the performance by Innovate Zone of all its obligations under the Sale and Purchase Agreement until Innovate Zone’s obligations thereunder have been satisfied in full.

Yida has agreed to guarantee to Innovate Zone the performance by the Purchaser of all its obligations under the Sale and Purchase Agreement until the Purchaser’s obligations thereunder have been satisfied in full.

INFORMATION ON THE RICHCOAST GROUP

At the Latest Practicable Date, Richcoast was held as to 61.54% by the Group through Innovate Zone, 28.20% by the SOCAM Group through Main Zone Group Limited and 10.26% by the Yida Group through the Purchaser.

Richcoast, through its subsidiaries, holds 78% interest in the Dalian Tiandi Project and the remaining 22% interest in the Dalian Tiandi Project is held by the Yida Group. The Richcoast Group was formed in 2007 for the development and operation of the Dalian Tiandi Project, which is a property development and investment project jointly developed and operated by the Group, the SOCAM Group and the Yida Group, being a large-scale integrated development in Dalian, the PRC, with an estimated developable gross floor area of approximately three million square metres comprising software offices, residential, commercial and retail properties, hotels and educational facilities.

The Board has been informed by the SOCAM Group that Main Zone Group Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of SOCAM) has on 14 November 2017 entered into a sale and purchase agreement to dispose of its entire shareholding interest in Richcoast to the Purchaser, details of which has been set out in an announcement of SOCAM dated 14 November 2017 (the “ SOCAM Disposal ”).

−11 −

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Set out below is a summary of the audited financial information of the Richcoast Group for the two years ended 31 December 2015 and 2016:

**For ** the year ended 31 December the year ended 31 December the year ended 31 December
2016 2015
Equivalent to Equivalent to
approximately approximately
RMB million HK$ million RMB million HK$ million
Net loss (before taxation) (681.48) (801.46) (691.48) (813.22)
Net loss (after taxation) (569.74) (670.05) (598.82) (704.25)

The unaudited consolidated total equity, including non-controlling interest, of the Richcoast Group at 30 June 2017 was approximately RMB1,230.01 million (equivalent to approximately HK$1,446.56 million).

FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE GROUP AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group expects to recognise a loss of approximately RMB495 million (equivalent to approximately HK$582.15 million) on the Transaction, being the difference between (i) the Total Transaction Amount; and (ii) the unaudited carrying value of the Group’s investment in Richcoast of approximately RMB3,597 million (equivalent to approximately HK$4,230.27 million), as well as the costs and expenses relating to the Transaction of approximately RMB58 million (equivalent to approximately HK$68.21 million). Such estimated disposal loss will be partly offset by the interest accrued on the Deferred Payment of approximately RMB93 million (equivalent to approximately HK$109.37 million), which is to be recognised as income of the Group after Completion until full settlement of the Deferred Payment.

Shareholders should note that the financial impact set out above is for illustrative purpose only, which will have to be ascertained with reference to the carrying value of the Group’s investment in Richcoast at the Completion Date.

Upon Completion, the Richcoast Group will cease to be an associate of the Group; and the Group will no longer record any share of the result in the Richcoast Group in its consolidated financial statements.

Following the Disposal, the Group’s net assets would decrease by approximately RMB495 million (equivalent to approximately HK$582.15 million). The profits of the Group will decrease due to the loss from the disposal of the Sale Shares. There will not be any impact on the liabilities of the Group as a result of the Completion because the liabilities of Richcoast Group were not consolidated in the financial statements of the Group.

−12 −

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The net proceeds of RMB3,102 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3,648.12 million) from the Transaction, after deducting the transaction costs and expenses, will be used by the Group to further reduce bank borrowings and for general working capital purpose. The exact allocation of the net proceeds will depend on the proportion of bank borrowings that may be renewed, extended or refinanced under the prevailing credit market condition.

The deficit of the Total Transaction Amount under the unaudited proforma carrying value of the Group’s investment in the Sale Shares at the Completion Date is approximately RMB437 million (equivalent to approximately HK$514 million).

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IN RELATION TO THE NON-PAYMENT FEE UNDER THE CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Innovate Zone, the Purchaser and Main Zone Group Limited agreed to provide funding to the Richcoast Group by way of contributing loans of not exceeding RMB781 million (the “ Contributing Loans ”) in proportion to their effective shareholding ratio in the Richcoast Group. In addition, under the Contribution Agreement, any shareholders of Richcoast may from time to time extend additional loan(s) to the Richcoast Group which shall be matched by the other shareholders. Pursuant to the First Financial Support Agreement and the Second Financial Support Agreement, Innovate Zone further provided additional unilateral loans up to RMB240 million and RMB289 million (the “ Unilateral Loans ”) to the Richcoast Group, respectively.

At the Latest Practicable Date, the Purchaser did not provide any of its share of the Contributing Loans or make any matching loans corresponding to the Unilateral Loans to the Richcoast Group. In accordance with the terms of the Contribution Agreement, the Purchaser shall pay to Innovate Zone a fee equal to 12% per annum of the outstanding amount of the loans provided, and the excess corresponding Contributing Loans extended, by Innovate Zone multiplied by the Purchaser’s effective shareholding ratio in the Richcoast Group, which amounted to approximately RMB52.08 million (equivalent to approximately HK$61.25 million) (the “ Non-payment Fee ”).

As part of the Transaction, pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement, Innovate Zone and the Purchaser has agreed that all Non-payment Fee payable by the Purchaser to Innovate Zone upon Completion shall be considered as fully settled. As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Non-payment Fee exceeds 0.1% but is less than 5%, such financial assistance by the Group to the Yida Group constitutes a connected transaction of the Company which is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but is exempt from the circular and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. None of the Directors has any material interest in the arrangement in relation to the Non-payment Fee.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Group is accelerating its overall asset turnover and will continue to realise the value of existing assets. It is the Group’s strategy to divest commercial properties in its portfolio that are mature and stabilized or are non-core assets at the right time and price. Increasing asset turnover will allow the Group to implement its strategic monetization plan for its commercial portfolio in the prevailing market conditions so as to increase profitability and help to strengthen the Group’s cash flow and reduce debt.

For the first ten months of 2017, the Company’s accumulated contracted sales was RMB15,226 million.

In relation to the development of the Group’s properties, construction works of two residential sites situated at the Wuhan and Chongqing projects and phase 2 of one residential site situated at the Shanghai Taipingqiao project were completed in the second half of 2017. The second batch of Rui Hong Xin Cheng Phase 7 was successfully launched for pre-sale in April 2017 with good sales result. The remaining of Rui Hong Xin Cheng Phase 7 is scheduled to be launched for pre-sale afterwards. The Group will continue to launch new phases of residential properties in other projects in mainland China.

However, the PRC government has during 2017 introduced a series of local and national measures designed to stabilize the property market. The restrictive measures are unprecedented and include imposing controls on granting pre-sale permits, price controls, as well as restrictions on home purchases and residential mortgages.

The Directors are of the view that the PRC real estate market will continue to develop and grow in the long run, and that, as the Group implements its current strategies, this will lay a solid foundation for the Group’s sustainable development and its long term prospects.

IMPLICATIONS OF THE LISTING RULES

At the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Vincent Lo, who is the Chairman of the Company and an executive Director, and his associates were together beneficially interested in approximately 57.23% of the issued shares of the Company. Mr. Vincent Lo is also the chairman and an executive director of SOCAM, and he and his associates were together beneficially interested in approximately 48.44% of the issued shares of SOCAM at the Latest Practicable Date. Mr. Vincent Lo did not have any interests in the Yida Group nor is he otherwise related or connected to the Yida Group and its connected person(s) at the Latest Practicable Date.

Mr. Frankie Wong, who is a non-executive Director, is also an executive director, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of SOCAM. At the Latest Practicable Date, he was beneficially interested in approximately 0.81% of the issued shares of SOCAM and did not have any interests in the shares of the Company and Yida.

None of the Directors has any material interest in the Transaction. Nevertheless, to adhere to the highest level of good corporate governance, in view of the SOCAM Disposal, each of Mr. Vincent Lo and Mr. Frankie Wong voluntarily abstained from voting on the Board resolutions for approving the Transaction.

−14 −

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Since the highest applicable percentage ratio for the Company in respect of the Transaction is 25% or more but is less than 75%, the Transaction (including the settlement arrangements in connection with the Deferred Payment after Completion) constitutes a major transaction for the Company subject to the reporting, announcement and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. The Company will comply with all disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules in respect of the Deferred Payment as and if appropriate.

The Purchaser is a substantial shareholder of Richcoast, an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and is therefore a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Transaction also constitutes a connected transaction with a connected person at the subsidiary level for the Company subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but is exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

5 December 2017

The Directors Shui On Land Limited 34th Floor, Shui On Centre 6-8 Harbour Road Wan Chai Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

Instructions, Purpose & Date of Valuation

In accordance with your instructions for us to value certain properties in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) (as more particularly described in the attached valuation certificates), which Shui On Land Limited (referred to as the “Company”) or its subsidiaries (collectively the “Group”) have interests and intend to dispose of the equity interests of such properties’ holding company, Richcoast Group Limited, we confirm that we have inspected the properties, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the values of such properties as at 30 September 2017 for disposal reference.

Basis of Valuation

Our valuation of each of the property interests represents its market value which in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors is defined as “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”.

Valuation Basis and Assumptions

Our valuation of each property excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangement, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value.

−II-1 −

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

In the course of our valuation of the properties held by the respective project companies in the PRC, unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of each of the properties for its specific term at nominal annual land use fee have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. We have relied on the information and advice given by Richcoast Group Limited and its legal adviser, Liaoning Henghai Law Firm (遼寧恒海律師事務所), regarding the title to the properties and the interests of the respective project companies in the properties in the PRC. In valuing the properties, unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that the owners have enforceable title to the properties and have free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the properties for the whole of the unexpired terms as granted.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties nor 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 any onerous nature which could affect their values.

In valuing the properties, we have complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities published by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and The HKIS Valuation Standards 2012 Edition published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors.

Method of Valuation

In valuing the property interests in Groups I and II which are completed properties held by for investment and for sale in the PRC respectively, we have mainly adopted the Investment Method by considering the capitalized rental incomes derived from the existing tenancies with due provision for any reversionary potential of the property interests or wherever appropriate the Direct Comparison Method by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market subject to suitable adjustments between the subject properties and the comparable properties.

In respect of the property interests in Group III which are held by under development in the PRC, our valuations are carried out on the basis that each of the properties will be developed and completed in accordance with the respective project companies’ latest development proposals provided to us, if any. We have assumed that all consents, approvals and licences from relevant government authorities for the development proposal have been obtained without onerous conditions or delays. We have also assumed that the design and construction of the developments are in compliance with the local planning and other relevant regulations and have been or will be approved by the relevant authorities. In valuing the properties, we have used the Investment Method by capitalizing the rental income derived from the committed tenancies, if any, with due provision for reversionary potential of the properties, or wherever appropriate, by the Direct Comparison Method by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market so as to assess the development value as if completed. The development value as if completed represents our opinion of the aggregate values of the development assuming it would have been completed at the date of valuation. In arriving at the final value of the properties, we have also taken into account the development costs expended and the costs that will be expended to complete the development.

−II-2 −

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

Regarding the property interests in Group IV which are vacant lots held for future development in the PRC, we have mainly adopted the Direct Comparison Method by making reference to comparable land sales evidence as available in the relevant market subject to suitable adjustments between the subject properties and the comparable properties.

Source of Information

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the respective project companies and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, tenure, identification of land and buildings, particulars of occupancy, site and floor areas, site and floor plans, number of parking spaces, construction costs, development time schedule, committed sales details and all other relevant matters.

Dimensions and measurements are based on the copies of documents or other information provided to us by the respective project companies and are therefore only approximations. No on-site measurement has been carried out. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the respective project companies which is material to the valuations. We were also advised by the respective project companies that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided.

We would point out that the copies of documents of the properties in the PRC provided to us are mainly compiled in Chinese characters and the transliteration into English represents our understanding of the contents. We would therefore advise you to make reference to the original Chinese editions of the documents and consult your legal advisers regarding the legality and interpretation of these documents.

Title Investigation

We have not been able to cause title searches of the property interests in the PRC but we have been provided with extracts of documents in relation to the titles to the property interests. However, we have not inspected the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate.

In the course of our valuation of the property interests, we have assumed that transferable land use rights in respect of the property interests for their respective specific terms at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. We have relied on the advice given by Richcoast Group Limited or its legal adviser regarding the title to each of the property interests and the interests of the respective project companies in the properties.

inspections, we did not note any serious defects. We are, however, not able to report whether the properties are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No test was carried out on any of the services. Moreover, we have not carried out any soil investigations to determine the suitability of the soil conditions and the services etc. for any future development. Our valuations are prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period. Unless otherwise stated, we have not been able to carry out detailed on-site measurements to verify the site and floor areas of the properties and we have assumed that the areas shown on the documents handed to us are correct.
