LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The major terms of the Framework Agreement in relation to the following matters are set out below:

TERMINATION OF THE DONGDAQIAO ACQUISITION

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 21 September 2011 in respect of the Dongdaqiao Agreement.

The Dongdaqiao Vendors and the Purchaser being all the parties to the Dongdaqiao Agreement agreed not to proceed to completion of the Dongdaqiao Acquisition and shall absolutely and irrevocably release the other from all obligations and duties under the Dongdaqiao Agreement whatsoever and neither party shall have any claims against the other whatsoever.

It is agreed that within 180 days from the date of the Framework Agreement, the Dongdaqiao Vendors shall repay the Purchaser all the consideration paid by the Purchaser under the Dongdaqiao Agreement in the sum of RMB230,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$280,830,000) (“the Refund”). It is noted that the consideration for the purchase of the Dongdaqiao Property was set at RMB258,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$315,018,000). However, given only about 90% of the total consideration had been paid by the Purchaser under the Dongdaqiao Agreement, the amount to be repaid under the Framework Agreement is RMB230,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$280,830,000).

The Purchaser agreed to deliver to the Dongdaqiao Vendors the Dongdaqiao Property in its current physical condition within 1 working day of the completion of the registration of transfer of the property ownership rights and land use rights of the 6th to 16th Floor to the Purchaser. So far the Purchaser had incurred RMB14,000,000 in the renovation of the Dongdaqiao Property and the Dongdaqiao Vendor agreed to pay the Purchaser such sum to be assessed and agreed by both parties in relation to the renovation done by the Purchaser on the Dongdaqiao Property which is taken up by the Dongdaqiao Vendors. The Purchaser shall remove any renovation on the Dongdaqiao Property which is not taken up by the Dongdaqiao Vendors within 60 days of the notice given by the Dongdaqiao Vendors.

The Board considers the termination of the Dongdaqiao Acquisition will not have any material adverse impact on the existing business, operation or fi nancial condition of the Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR THE TIANJIE ACQUISITION

The Tianjie Acquisition was mainly due to the fact that the fl oor area of the Dongdaqiao Property the Group originally planned to acquire is inadequate to satisfy the needs of the current business development and team expansion of the Group. Also, the existing offi ce locations of the Group are widely scattered, while the consolidation of offi ce locations can simplify management, strengthen communication and improve operational effi ciency, which will in turn support the Group’s overall development. Furthermore, the Tianjie Building, which will be renamed as “Golden Bridge Tianjie Building”, is located near the new China Central Television building, and will give regional advantage for related business development and enhance the overall corporate image and the brand name of the Group as a domestic media operation group. The Directors are of the view that the Tianjie Acquisition would be benefi cial to the Group.

Having considered to the aforesaid reasons, the Directors considered that the terms of the Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder were fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms, and that the entering into the Framework Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

SETTLEMENT FOR THE INTERCEPTING SERVICES

The Intercepting Agent provided intercepting services for the Tianjie Acquisition in return for an Intercepting Fees in the sum of RMB188,595,110 (equivalent to approximately HK$230,274,629).

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, it is agreed that such Intercepting Fees shall be borne by the Purchaser and be payable in cash upon the fulfi lment of the following conditions by the Vendor and/or the Dongdaqiao Vendors:

  1. after 20 working days of the payment of the Refund to the Purchaser by the Dongdaqiao Vendors in accordance with the Framework Agreement; and

  2. the Vendor completes the registration of the transfer of the property ownership rights and the transfer of land use rights of the 6th to 16th Floor to the Purchaser in accordance with the Framework Agreement.

In the event that the Framework Agreement or any of the agreement contemplated thereunder is terminated and that results in the Purchaser could not acquire the property ownership rights and land use rights of the 6th to 16th Floor, the Purchaser shall not be liable to pay any Intercepting Fees and any Intercepting Fees paid shall be returned to the Purchaser.

DUE PERFORMANCE OF THE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT BY THE VENDOR

Shi Mao Tian Jie, 北京奧中基業房地產開發有限公司 (Beijing Aozhong Jiye Property Development Limited) and 北京奧中世貿物業管理有限公司 (Beijing Aozhong Shi Mao Property Management Limited) shall jointly guarantee the due performance of the Vendor’s obligations under the Framework Agreement in relation to the sale of the property ownership rights and land use rights of the 6th to 16th Floor to the Purchaser up and until the date of completion of the transfer of the property ownership rights and the transfer of land use rights of the 6th to 16th Floor to the Purchaser. Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, Shi Mao Tian Jie, 北京奧中基業房地產開發有限公司 (Beijing Aozhong Jiye Property Development Limited), 北京奧中世貿物業管理有限公司 (Beijing Aozhong Shi Mao Property Management Limited) and the Vendor shall enter into a guarantee agreement on the date of the Framework Agreement in favour of the Purchaser.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

TERMINATION OF THE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

In case of default or delay of the Vendor in respect of any of its obligations under the Framework Agreement, for each day of such default or delay the Purchaser is entitled to 0.021% of the paid Consideration as compensation and entitled to delay payment of any parts of the unpaid Consideration until such obligations are fulfi lled. In case the default or delay of the Vendor in respect of any of its obligations under the Framework Agreement exceeds 30 days, the Purchaser is entitled to terminate the Framework Agreement.

Upon such termination, (a) the Vendors shall repay to the Purchaser all the Consideration paid by the Purchaser under the Framework Agreement within 15 working days after the receipt of the termination notice and a compensation per day at 0.021% of the paid Consideration if in default; and (b) a compensation representing an interest at 10% per annum of the Consideration paid from the day of actual payment of the Consideration until the actual repayment.

In case of default or delay of the Purchaser in respect of any of its obligations under the Framework Agreement, for each day of such default or delay the Vendor is entitled to 0.021% of the unpaid Consideration as compensation until such obligations are fulfi lled. In case the default or delay of the Purchaser in respect of its obligations under the Framework Agreement exceeds 30 days, the Vendor is entitled to terminate the Framework Agreement.

Upon such termination, (a) the Purchaser shall pay the Vendor a compensation representing 10% of the unpaid Consideration within 30 working days after the receipt of the termination notice from the Vendor and a compensation per day at 0.021% of the unpaid Consideration if in default; and (b) the Vendors shall repay to the Purchaser all the Consideration paid by the Purchaser under the Framework Agreement.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE TIANJIE ACQUISITION AND THE TERMINATION OF THE DONGDAQIAO ACQUISITION

Earnings:

Part of the Tianjie Property Interests is subject to tenancy agreements with expiry dates ranging from 31 January 2013 to 31 December 2015. The Tianjie Property Interests will derive rental income from these tenants and there will be rental savings after the Group moves from various offi ce locations into the Tianjie Building. Therefore, the Tianjie Acquisition and the termination of the Dongdaqiao Acquisition will have positive effects on the earnings of the Group.

— 11 —

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Assets and Liabilities:

The Tianjie Acquisition will be fi nanced by internal resources of the Group. Following the Tianjie Acquisition, the property, plant and equipment of the Group is expected to increase by approximately RMB854,224,910 (equivalent to approximately HK$1,043,008,615) being the sum of the Consideration and the Intercepting Fees, while the cash balances of the Group will decrease by the same amount. On the other hand, upon the termination of the Dongdaqiao Acquisition, the Dongdaqiao Vendors shall refund to the Group all consideration paid relating to the Dongdaqiao Acquisition, i.e. RMB230,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$280,830,000).

2. WORKING CAPITAL

In the absence of any unforeseen circumstances, the Directors, after due and careful enquiry, are of opinion that, following the completion of the Tianjie Acquisition and the termination of the Dongdaqiao Acquisition, the Group will have suffi cient working capital for its requirement for at least 12 months from the date of this circular.

3. INDEBTEDNESS STATEMENT

Apart from intra-group liabilities, the Group did not have, as at the close of business of 16 January 2013, any debt securities issued and outstanding or authorized or otherwise created but unissued, term loans, bank overdrafts, loans or other similar indebtedness, liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits, mortgages, charges, fi nance leases, hire purchase commitments, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities.

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

As disclosed on page 12 to 25 of the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2012 published on 13 September 2012 which can be accessed on the website of the Stock Exchange (www.hkex.com.hk) and the website of the Company (www.sinomedia.com.hk), the slowing down of the economy growth of the PRC brought considerable challenges to the operating environment of the market and the advertising industry. Nevertheless, the Group achieved decent growth in net earnings as compared to the same period last year by maintaining similar level of revenue and keeping its cost of services and operating expenses under effective control, despite the impact of the macroeconomic environment on the market.

The Group would actively promote its strategic expansion to achieve long-term development, accommodating industry trends by satisfying customer demand and leveraging its competitive edges in media resources. While continuing to consolidate its market share of China Central Television and other core media resources, the Group focused on fostering and expanding integrated brand communication services. Also, through investments in vertical portals and digital television channels, the Group integrated television, the Internet and mobile terminals to achieve breakthroughs for simultaneous developments, moving from the midstream towards the upstream and downstream of the media industry value chain.

APPENDIX II

PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT OF THE TIANJIE PROPERTY INTERESTS

In accordance with Rule 14.67(6)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules, a profi t and loss statement of the Tianjie Property Interests for the three fi nancial years ended 31 December 2011 (the “Relevant Financial Years”) and for the six-month period ended 30 June 2012 are required to be included in this circular. The Group was provided with copies of tenancy agreements (the “Tenancy Agreements”) for the Tianjie Property Interests, which cover only part of the Relevant Financial Years. Other than such Tenancy Agreements, despite requests made by the Group, the Group is unable to gain full access to the underlying books and records or other fi nancial information of the Vendor regarding the direct costs and other expenses for the preparation of the fi nancial information of the property for the Relevant Financial Years in strict compliance with the requirements of Rule 14.67(6)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules. The Company has therefore applied to the Stock Exchange for a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 14.67(6)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules, such that the following information be disclosed instead. The fi nancial information of the Tianjie Property Interests for each of the relevant fi nancial periods set out below has been prepared by the Directors solely based on the Tenancy Agreements provided by the Vendor. Accordingly, it may not give a true picture of the performance of the Tianjie Property Interests during the relevant fi nancial periods. Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defi ned in this circular, unless the context requires otherwise.

For the For the For the
11 months ended year ended year ended

RMB’000 RMB’000 RMB’000
Gross rental income 23,888 25,677 24,065

Notes:

  1. The gross rental income for the above fi nancial periods is derived from the Tenancy Agreements. It may not give a true picture of the profi t attributable to the Tianjie Property Interests for the relevant fi nancial periods since no books of accounts are available for inspection to ensure that the rental income has been received and that it is a complete record of the rental income.

  2. Based on the statutory tax rates of the PRC, business tax and surcharges property tax and stamp duty paid and payable in respect of the Tenancy Agreements is estimated to be approximately RMB3,853,790, RMB3,954,018, and RMB3,863,742 in total for the 11 months ended 30 November 2012, the year ended 31 December 2011, and the year ended 31 December 2010 respectively. Management fees and utilities expenses of those portions of the Tianjie Property Interests that had been leased out were borne by the tenants, while management fees and utilities expenses of those portions not leased out were borne by the landlord and are estimated to be RMB344,925, RMB159,377, and RMB117,193 in aggregate for 11 months ended 30 November 2012, the year ended 31 December 2011 and the year ended 31 December 2010 respectively.

  3. Save for the Tenancy Agreements and other publicly available information such as the applicable tax rates, the Directors do not have access to other fi nancial information in relation to the Tianjie Property Interests. Due to the limited information available to them, the Directors are unable to ascertain the amount of any other expenses, if any, in relation to the property. Accordingly, no other expenses such as depreciation and fi nance costs (if any) were included in the above fi nancial information. The fi nancial information in relation to the Tianjie Property Interests set out above is prepared using accounting policies which are materially consistent with those of the Company.

  4. In accordance with paragraph 14.67(6)(b)(i) of the Listing Rules, the Directors engaged KPMG, the auditor of the Company, to conduct certain agreed upon procedures in respect of the Tenancy Agreements, in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Related Services 4400 “Engagements to Perform Agreed Upon Procedures Regarding Financial Information” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certifi ed Public Accountants (the “HKICPA”). The procedures have been determined by and are the responsibility of the Directors. The auditors of the Company performed the procedures as summarised below:

  5. (1) The auditor of the Company requested the management of the Company to provide them the schedule setting out the fl oor, tenant, rental area, rental period, rental-free period, unit rental charges, monthly rental charges, actual monthly rental charges and gross rental income for the two fi nancial years ended 31 December 2010 and 2011 and for the 11-months ended 30 November 2012 (the “Summary of the Gross Rental Income Statement for Tianjie Property Interest”).

Consequently, no assurance is provided by the auditor on the unaudited fi nancial information of the Tianjie Property Interests disclosed in the Circular and the Summary of the Gross Rental Income.

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

The following is the text of a letter and valuation certifi cate, prepared for the purpose of incorporation in this circular received from Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited, an independent valuer and consultant, in connection with its valuation as at 30 November 2012 of the property interest to be acquired by the Company.

==> picture [173 x 34] intentionally omitted <==

21 January 2013

The Board of Directors SinoMedia Holding Limited Unit 402, 4th Floor Fairmont House No. 8 Cotton Tree Drive Admiralty, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

  • Re: Valuation of a property at Tianjie Building (Block 4 of the Place) located at No. 9 Guanghua Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”)

CTV Golden Bridge International Media Group Co., Ltd. (“Media Group” or the “Purchaser”), a 99.7% owned subsidiary of SinoMedia Holding Limited (the “Company”), intends to purchase the captioned property. Jones Lang LaSalle Corporate Appraisal and Advisory Limited (“Jones Lang LaSalle” or “we”) is instructed by the Company to provide valuation service on the captioned property for disclosure purpose. We confi rm that we have carried out inspections, made relevant enquiries and searches and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion on the capital value of the property interest as at 30 November 2012 (the “date of valuation”).

Pursuant to a Framework Agreement dated 12 December 2012 entered into between Media Group, and Beijing Aozhong Xingye Real Estate Development Company Limited (北京奥中興業房地產 開發 有限公司, the “Vendor”) and relevant parties, the Vendor agreed to sell and the Purchaser agreed to purchase the captioned property which comprises the entire 6th to 16th fl oors with a total gross fl oor area of approximately 22,187.66 sq.m., and 40 car parking spaces on the 2nd underground fl oor of Tianjie Building.

Our valuation of the property interest represents the market value which we would defi ne 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”.

We have valued the property by the comparison method assuming sale of the property in its exiting state with the benefi t of immediate vacant possession and by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market. Appropriate adjustments and analysis are considered to the differences in location, size and other characters between the comparable properties and the subject property.

— 21 —

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX IV

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the seller sells the property interest in the market without the benefi t of a deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture, management agreement or any similar arrangement, which could serve to affect the value of the property interest.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charge, mortgage or amount owing on any of the property interest valued nor for any expense or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature, which could affect its value.

In valuing the property interest, we have complied with all requirements contained in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities issued by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited; the RICS Valuation — Professional Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors; the HKIS Valuation Standards published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors; and the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council.

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Company and the Vendor, and have accepted advice given to us on such matters as tenure, planning approvals, statutory notices, easements, particulars of occupancy, lettings, and all other relevant matters.

We have been shown copies of various title documents including a State-owned Land Use Rights Certifi cate and a Building Ownership Certifi cate relating to the property interest and have made relevant enquiries. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interest in the PRC and any material encumbrance that might be attached to the property interest or any tenancy amendment. We have relied considerably on the advice given by the Company’s PRC legal advisers — Zhong Lun Law Firm, concerning the validity of the property interest in the PRC.

We have not carried out detailed measurements to verify the correctness of the areas in respect of the property but have assumed that the areas shown on the title documents and offi cial site plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations. No on-site measurement has been taken.

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the interior of the property. However, we have not carried out investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions and services for any development thereon. Our valuation has been prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory.
