LETTER FROM THE BOARD

HK$707.31 million) together with VAT of approximately ZAR130.30 million (equivalent to approximately HK$99.03 million) thereon, totaling an amount of approximately ZAR1,060.98 million (equivalent to approximately HK$806.34 million).

As one of the applicable percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition is above 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for Zendai under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, which is subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirement.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, (i) further details of the Acquisition; (ii) financial information of the Group; (iii) the valuation reports on the Immovable Properties; and (iv) the notice of the SGM.

THE FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

Date

4 November 2013 (after trading hours)

Parties

Purchasers: (1) Zendai; (2) DevCo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zendai; (3) InvCo, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zendai; Vendors: (1) AECI; (2) ARE; (3) Heartland

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, and having made reasonable enquiries, each of AECI, ARE and Heartland and its respective ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of Zendai and connected persons of Zendai.

Assets to be acquired

Under the Framework Agreement, the Zendai Parties have conditionally agreed to acquire and the AECI Parties have conditionally agreed to sell the Acquisition Assets.

The Acquisition Assets consist of the Immovable Properties, being certain property assets located in the Modderfontein area of Johannesburg, South Africa, comprising a number of land parcels and buildings, covering approximately 1,600 hectares, and the Heartland Assets.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration and payment terms

The purchase price payable by Zendai in consideration for the Acquisition Assets, being the Immovable Properties and the Heartland Assets, shall be an amount equivalent to the Transaction Price of approximately ZAR930.68 million (equivalent to approximately HK$707.31 million) together with VAT of approximately ZAR130.30 million (equivalent to approximately HK$99.03 million) thereon, which has been secured by way of the Zendai Payment Guarantee in the amount of approximately ZAR1,060.98 million (equivalent to approximately HK$806.34 million) and has been provided by Zendai to AECI on the Signature Date. The Zendai Payment Guarantee shall remain in force until the earlier of (i) full payment of the Transaction Price is received by AECI or (ii) 11 months and 14 days from the Signature Date whereafter the Zendai Payment Guarantee will automatically be cancelled. The amount payable under the Zendai Payment Guarantee will be paid to AECI in full on the Effective Date.

The Transaction Price was determined after arm’s length negotiations between AECI and Zendai after taking into account various factors, including but not limited to (i) the factors stated in the section headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition” as set out below; and (ii) the preliminary valuation of the Immovable Properties as at 31 August 2013 as appraised by an independent valuer of no less than ZAR1,100 million (equivalent to approximately HK$836 million). Having considered that the Transaction Price represents a discount over the preliminary valuation of the Immovable Properties, the Directors are of the view that the Transaction Price is fair and reasonable. The total consideration for the Acquisition will be satisfied by internal resources of Zendai.

Performance Guarantee in respect of the transfer of the Acquisition Assets

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the AECI Parties shall transfer the First Tranche of the Immovable Properties to the value of no less than ZAR450.00 million (or such lesser amount as agreed by Zendai), to the Zendai Parties by no later than nine months from the Signature Date (which under certain circumstances could be extended for a further two months depending on the progress of transfer of such Immovable Properties).

In consideration for payment of the Transaction Price by Zendai on the Effective Date and as security for the AECI Parties’ obligations to transfer the Remaining Acquisition Assets to the Zendai Parties, AECI has furnished Zendai on the Signature Date with the Performance Guarantee in an amount equal to the Initial Guaranteed Amount, subject to a maximum of ZAR547.97 million including VAT (equivalent to approximately HK$416.46 million), being the Transaction Price less the value of the First Tranche of no less than ZAR450.00 million plus VAT. If the Zendai Parties are of the opinion that one or more of the Immovable Properties comprising the First Tranche cannot be transferred within a period of nine months from the Signature Date (subject to aforesaid extension), it shall have the right at any time after a period of 6 months after the Signature Date by written notice to the AECI Parties to reduce the amount of the First Tranche and the Initial Guaranteed Amount and the Final Guaranteed Amount shall be increased by the same amount plus VAT. The AECI Parties shall provide the Zendai Parties within 14 days of such increase with an amended Performance Guarantee to take into account such increase.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Performance Guarantee shall remain in force until the earlier of (i) the date upon which all the Immovable Properties are transferred to the Zendai Parties or (ii) the Initial Guaranteed Amount is reduced to zero or (iii) the later of 14 days after the Long Stop Date (subject to extension as set out in the section headed “Long Stop Date” below).

The Initial Guaranteed Amount shall be reduced from time to time by the value of each Immovable Property transferred to the Zendai Parties plus VAT and the Initial Guaranteed Amount so reduced from time to time shall be the Final Guaranteed Amount.

The AECI Parties shall as soon as possible and by no later than the Long Stop Date, procure the transfer of all Acquisition Assets required to be transferred to the Zendai Parties. Failing such transfer, the Zendai Parties will be entitled, but not obliged, to call for payment under the Performance Guarantee within 14 days after the Long Stop Date.

As advised by the South Africa legal advisers to the Company, applications for subdivision of certain Immovable Properties have to be made by the property owner to the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality before the transfer of Immovable Properties, which shall take nine months to finalise and are unlikely to be refused. As further advised by the South Africa legal advisers to the Company, there is no legal impediment to the Immovable Properties concerned being sub-divided and transferred to the Zendai Parties, save for Founders Hill, being one of the Immovable Properties.

In respect of the transfer of Founders Hill, the South Africa legal advisers to the Company advised that Founders Hill may not be transferred to the Group until Section 82 of the Township Ordinance is complied with, where such provision requires full services be installed in the township. Through the entering into of the lease agreement in respect of the lease of Founders Hill, further details of which are set out in (i) under the section headed “Definitive Agreements” below, DevCo may use, develop, sub-divide or in any way deal with Founders Hill so as to give DevCo full rights as if it were the owner thereof until the aforesaid Township Ordinance is complied with. Nevertheless, the transfer of Founders Hill to the Zendai Parties will be deemed to be satisfied for the purposes of the Performance Guarantee upon AECI, at its cost, registers a mortgage bond over the Founders Hill properties in favour of the relevant Zendai Parties to the satisfaction of Zendai to secure the obligations of the relevant AECI Parties to transfer Founders Hill to the relevant Zendai Party. The Company considers that such arrangements are sufficient to protect its interests in Founders Hill before completion of the transfer of Founders Hill takes place.

Net Improvement Costs Guarantee

During the ordinary course of the business, the AECI Parties in accordance with their existing business plans and models, will incur further Net Improvement Costs during the Cost Period. AECI shall take such steps and enter into such contracts and incur such expenditure as is necessary in order to implement improvements to the Immovable Properties based on the estimated budget approved by Zendai in respect of Net Improvement Costs for the Cost Period. Zendai shall on the Signature Date provide AECI with the Net Improvement Costs Guarantee in an amount of no more than ZAR227.07 million (equivalent to approximately HK$172.57 million) inclusive of VAT.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The amount paid by the AECI Parties for the Net Improvement Costs during the Cost Period shall bear interest at the prime overdraft lending rate published by Standard Bank of South Africa Limited from time to time from the date of payment by the AECI Parties to date of payment by or on behalf of both DevCo and InvCo, both days inclusive.

Existing Leases related to the existing buildings and portions of the Acquisition Assets and the Improchem Lease

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, all Existing Leases over the buildings and portions of the Acquisition Assets will be transferred to the respective Zendai Parties on the Effective Date so that the respective Zendai Parties will lawfully be the lessor under all the Existing Leases. AECI will notify all lessees of the Existing Leases and ensure that all and any cessions required to give effect to this warranty are complied with by the Effective Date. In addition, the Improchem Lease in respect of the lease of Improchem Building, a building being constructed on one of the Immovable Properties being acquired by DevCo, will be transferred to DevCo on the Effective Date. According to the Existing Leases and the Improchem Lease, the buildings and portions of the Acquisition Assets under all Existing Leases and the Improchem Lease cover an aggregated area of approximately 15 hectares, representing less than 1% of the total area of the Acquisition Assets, and are short term leases which is less than 5 years other than the Improchem Lease which is for nine years and 11 months. The aggregated annual rental under the Existing Leases was approximately ZAR47.08 million in 2012 and the proposed annual rental under the Improchem Lease is approximately ZAR4.61 million (excluding VAT).

In view of the size of aforesaid buildings which is insignificant as compared to that of the Acquisition Assets and the relatively short lease term of the Existing Leases, the Directors are of the view that the Existing Leases and the Improchem Lease will not bring any material effect to the operation and development plan on the Acquisition Assets.

Employee Services

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the Heartland Key Employees will be transferred to DevCo on the Effective Date and taking into account that the AECI Parties are entirely dependent on the Heartland Key Employees in respect of the transfer of the Remaining Acquisition Assets to the Zendai Parties, the Parties also agreed that the Heartland Key Employees will, after the transfer of their employment to the Zendai Parties, assist the AECI Parties regarding the transfer of the Remaining Acquisition Assets. In consideration of the Employee Services to be provided by Zendai, AECI will pay DevCo at an aggregated consideration of not more than ZAR4.67 million (equivalent to approximately HK$3.55 million) for a three-year term commencing from the Effective Date to 31 December 2016.

All the above Definitive Agreements were entered into between the Parties after arms’ length negotiations given the current structure of the Framework Agreement and status of the Acquisition Assets and are based on normal commercial terms. The Directors are of the view that the transactions under the Definitive Agreements are conducted in the ordinary course of business of the Company and that the entering into of the Definitive Agreements will not change the Company’s intention towards the development of the Acquisition Assets and will not bring any material effect to the operation and development plan on the Acquisition Assets.

Long Stop Date

The Long Stop Date shall be the date by which AECI must transfer all the Immovable Properties to DevCo and InvCo, being 24 months from the Effective Date, (subject to any extension due to the occurrence of any force majeure events), which could be extended by either Zendai or AECI by written notice to the other for a period of 12 months, and could be further extended for a period of six months by further written notice provided the Performance Guarantee remains valid and enforceable, or could be extended by Zendai alone if the Performance Guarantee does not remain valid and enforceable.

Should the original Long Stop Date, being 24 months from the Effective Date, be extended other than the occurrence of any force majeure events, each AECI Party shall pay, as an agreed and liquidated damages to the respective Zendai Parties, an amount equal to the rate of interest charged by their respective bankers to the respective Zendai Parties for funding of any Acquisition Assets occupied by them respectively and not transferred to the respective Zendai Parties by the original Long Stop Date, up to a maximum rate of 10% (ten percent) per annum (nominal annual compounded annually).

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE ACQUISITION

The Group is principally engaged in construction of commercial and residential properties for sale, ownership and operation of hotel business, leasing, management and agency of commercial and residential properties.

The Group is a diversified property development company, focusing on the development, investment and management of residential and commercial properties in the PRC. The Group currently has property projects under development in 12 cities which are located in the three regions including northern China, Shanghai city and its surroundings and Hainan province. In

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

view of the continuation of the austerity measures towards the property market implemented by the PRC government, the Group, apart from focusing on the PRC market, has been exploring real estate development projects that are suitable for the Group in terms of scale, in order to expand into in the overseas market.

The Acquisition Assets consist of certain property assets located in Modderfontein, Johannesburg, South Africa, comprising a number of land parcels and buildings, covering approximately 1,600 hectares. Modderfontein is strategically placed on the main route to the OR Tambo International Airport, being the primary airport for domestic and international travel from and to South Africa and Sandton (the central business district of Johannesburg). Johannesburg is the largest city of South Africa in terms of population and is expected to continue to grow under governmental support through massive infrastructure spending over the next 10 years. It is the intention of the Group to develop the Acquisition Assets as a mixed-use zone including residential, commercial, light industrial and retail developments. Given the unique location of the Acquisition Assets, the Board considers that the Acquisition Assets are of outstanding development potential and the Acquisition will allow Zendai to capture the potential growth in the future. In addition to the Group’s first overseas project located in New Zealand, the Board is of the view that the Acquisition provides an opportunity for the Group to further expand its landbank to the South African region, which helps diversifying the investment portfolio of the Group in order to build a more stable income stream for the Group.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the opinion that the terms of the Framework Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and the Acquisition is in the interest of Zendai and the Shareholders as a whole.

INFORMATION ON THE VENDORS

Each of the Vendors, namely AECI, ARE and Heartland, is a company incorporated in the South Africa with limited liability.

AECI is principally engaged in the development, production and supply of explosives and specialty chemicals, manufacture and sale of specialty fibres. AECI, through its subsidiaries ARE and Heartland develops and sells properties in South Africa. AECI is listed on JSE Limited, being the largest stock exchange in Africa.

ARE and Heartland are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of AECI, all of whom own some of the Acquisition Assets.

EFFECTS ON EARNINGS AND ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE GROUP

Given that the consideration of the Acquisition will be funded by the internal resources of the Group, the Board considers that the Acquisition will not have any material impact on the earnings and assets and liabilities of the Group.

It should be noted that the aforementioned estimations are for illustrative purpose only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon completion of the Acquisition.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one of the applicable percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition (including the provision of the Zendai Payment Guarantee and the Net Improvement Costs Guarantee) is above 25% but less than 100%, the Acquisition constitutes a major transaction for Zendai under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, which is subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements.

As the transactions under the Other Definitive Agreements are of revenue nature and are conducted in the ordinary course of business of the Company, the transactions under the Other Definitive Agreements should be exempt from the requirements of Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules pursuant to Rule 14.04(1)(g) of the Listing Rules. In the event that the entering into of the Other Definitive Agreements constitute notifiable transactions under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, further announcements will be issued by Zendai as and when appropriate in accordance with the Listing Rules’ requirements.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, after having made all reasonable enquiries, none of the Shareholders has a material interest in the Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder. No Shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the resolution to approve the Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM. Mr. Dai, being the executive Director, the Chairman of Zendai and the controlling Shareholder, has given the Irrevocable Undertaking to AECI pursuant to which Mr. Dai, together with his associates who directly or indirectly are interested in approximately 38.67% of the total issued share capital of Zendai, will vote such Shares in favour of all resolutions to approve the Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the SGM.

SGM

The SGM will be held at Unit A, 29/F, Admiralty Centre I, 18 Harcourt Road, Hong Kong on Tuesday , 14 January 2014 at 10:30 a.m., the notice of which is set out on pages 40 to 41 of this circular, for the Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit to approve, the Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Whether or not you intend to attend and vote at such meeting, you are requested to complete and return the enclosed form of proxy to the Company’s branch share registrar in Hong Kong, Tricor Secretaries Limited at Level 26, Tesbury Centre, 28 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the SGM or any adjournment thereof should you so wish.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the reasons set out herein, the Directors are of the view that the Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Therefore, the Directors recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolution(s) to be proposed at the SGM.

guarantees provided by the Group to the banks would be released upon receiving the building ownership certificates of the respective properties by the banks from the customers as a pledge for security to the mortgage loans granted.

Referring to the paragraph under the heading “Litigation” in Appendix III, in the event that the Appeal is unsuccessful, the agreement on Wudaokou Disposal and share transfer agreement in relation to the sale of Shanghai Zendai Wudaokou would be invalidated and the Group may need to pay back the previously received consideration which amounted to RMB2,860,000,000 (equivalent to HK$3,619,795,000) to the Purchaser.

After taking into account the bases that (i) the Acquisition can be completed as currently envisaged; (ii) no material change in general economic performance in the People’s Republic of China and the real estate sector maintains a steady sentiment in the consumption of properties; (iii) no material change in regulatory policies leading to adverse impact on the banks’ general lending policies to property developers; (iv) the Group’s present internal financial resources as well as the available banking facilities, the Directors are of the opinion that the Group has sufficient working capital for its present requirements, that is for at least the next 12 months from the date of this circular.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

APPENDIX I

first-time homeowners from the PRC government, as well as the gradual increase in consumption power as a result of the accelerating urbanization progress, the Group believes that there will still be rigid demand for real estate in the future and will further promote its “Thumb Integrated Commercial and Residential Projects” on the basis of its existing projects and projects under planning in order to cope with the substantial demand for commercial and residential properties in the PRC in the future.

Apart from focusing on the mainland market, the Group will also focus on the international market in line with the capital outflows from China. In addition to the Group’s first overseas project located in New Zealand which is currently progressing as scheduled and the Acquisition, the Directors will further look for real estate development projects and prudently assess various potential business opportunities so as to develop new projects when opportunities arise to expand income source. The Directors will also from time to time closely monitor the financial position and liquidity position of the Group with a view to enhancing the capital management and treasury function of the Group and catering for any changes in the real estate market. As such, the Directors expect that the financial position of the Group would remain solid taking into account the financial resources available to the Group and the substantial assets base of the Group.

20 December 2013

The Board of Directors

Shanghai Zendai Property Limited

Unit 6108, 61/F The Centre 99 Queen’s Road Central Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with the instructions to us to value property interests contracted to be acquired by Shanghai Zendai Property Limited (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) in the Republic of South Africa (“South Africa”) (details of the properties are more particularly listed in the Summary of Values of this report), we confirm 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 of the capital value of the property interests as at 30 September 2013 (the “valuation date”).

The valuation is our opinion of market value which in accordance with the Valuation Standards on Properties of 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 where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

In valuing the property interests, we have complied with all the requirements set out 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 “Listing Rules”), the HKIS Valuation Standards (2012 Edition) published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and the International Valuation Standards published from time to time by the International Valuation Standards Council.

– 22 –

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

Our valuations exclude 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 or costs of sale and purchase or offset for any associated taxes.

Where, due to the nature of the buildings and structures of the property in the South Africa, there are no market sales comparables readily available, the property interests have been valued on the basis of their depreciated replacement costs.

Depreciated replacement cost is defined as “the current cost of replacement (reproduction) of a property less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization.” It is based on an estimate of the market value for the existing use of the land, plus the current cost of replacement (reproduction) of the improvements, less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimization. The depreciated replacement cost of the property interest is subject to adequate potential profitability of the concerned business.

We have been provided by the Group with copy of extract of the title documents relating to the property interests. Where possible, we have examined the original documents to verify the existing title to the property interests in South Africa and any material encumbrances that might be attached to the property interests or any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us.

However, we have not searched the original documents to verify the ownership or to ascertain any amendment. Due to the current registration system of South Africa under which the registration information is not accessible to the public, no investigation has been made for the title of the property interests in South Africa and the material encumbrances that might be attached. In the course of our valuation, we have relied considerably on the legal opinion given by the Company’s South Africa legal adviser – (Edward Nathan Sonnenbergs), concerning the validity of title of the properties in South Africa.

We have inspected the exterior and, where possible, the accessible portions of the interior of the properties being appraised. However, we have not been commissioned to carry out structural survey nor to arrange for an inspection of the services. We are, therefore, not able to report whether the properties are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. We formulate our view as to the overall conditions of the properties taking into account the general appearance, the apparent standard and age of fixtures and fittings and the existence of utility services. Hence it must be stressed that whilst we have had regard to you with a view as to whether the buildings are free from defects or as to the possibility of latent defects which might affect our valuation. In the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. No tests were carried out on any of the services. We have assumed that utility services, such as electricity, telephone, water, etc., are available and free from defect.

We have not arranged for any investigation to be carried out to determine whether or not high alumina cement concrete or calcium chloride additive or pulverized fly ash, or any other deleterious material has been used in the construction of the properties. We are therefore unable to report that the properties are free from risk in this respect. For the purpose of this valuation, we have assumed that deleterious material has not been used in the construction of the properties.

– 23 –

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

We have not been commissioned to carry out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the land or building areas in respect of the properties but have assumed that the areas provided to us are correct. Based on our experience of valuation of similar properties, we consider the assumptions so made to be reasonable.

Moreover, we have not carried out any site investigation to determine the suitability of the ground conditions or the services for any property development erected or to be erected thereon. Nor did we undertake archaeological, ecological or environmental surveys for the property interests. Our valuation is prepared on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory and that no extraordinary expenses or delays will be incurred during the construction period. Should it be discovered that contamination, subsidence or other latent defects exists in the properties or on adjoining or neighbouring land or that the properties had been or are being put to contaminated use, we reserve right to revise our opinion of values.

We have not investigated any industrial safety, environmental and health related regulations in association with the existing and/or planned manufacturing process. It is assumed that all necessary licences, procedures and measures were implemented in accordance with the Government legislation and guidance.

Unless otherwise stated, we shall rely to a considerable extent on the information provided to us by the Group or other professional advisers on such matters as tenure, statutory notices, planning approval, zoning, easements, completion date of building, identification of property, particulars of occupation, site areas, floor areas, tenancy details, matters relating to tenure and all other relevant matters.

Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation certificate are based on information contained in the documents provided to us and are therefore approximations and for reference only. We have not searched original plans and the like to verify them.

We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to use by the Group. We have also sought confirmation from the Company that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view and we have no reason to suspect that any material information has been withheld.

No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on any of the property interests valued nor 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.

We have further assumed that the properties were not transferred or involved in any contentious or non-contentious dispute as at the valuation date. We have also assumed that there was no material change of the properties in between dates of our inspection and the valuation date.

In accordance with our standard practice, we must state that this report is for the exclusive use of the party to whom it is addressed and no responsibility is accepted to any third party for the whole or any part of its contents.
