VERY SUBSTANTIAL ACQUISITION AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF 100% INTEREST IN SHENZHEN CC PARK
Reference is made to the Company's announcements dated 3 June 2016 and 27 June 2016 in relation to the very substantial acquisition of the Company (" VSA Announcements "). Unless otherwise defined, terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the VSA Announcements.
On 19 July 2016, the Purchaser and the Vendors entered into a further amended and restated share purchase agreement (" Further Restated SPA ") to amend and restate the Agreement, pursuant to which the terms be changed as follows:
1. CONSIDERATION
The Consideration remains at HK$600,000,000 but it will be settled in the following manner:
-
(i) the issue of an unsecured three-year term promissory note in the principal amount of HK$160,000,000 (" Promissory Note ") by the Purchaser to the Vendors upon Completion;
-
(ii) the issue and allotment of 1,900,000,000 Consideration Shares (" New Consideration Shares ") by the Company to the Vendors upon Completion; and
-
(iii) HK$60,000,000 (subject to adjustment, if any) (" Profit Guarantee Retained Consideration ") will be payable by the Purchaser to the Vendors after Completion and after and subject to the determination of the 2016 Net Profit pursuant to the terms of the Further Restated SPA. Please see the paragraph below headed "Adjustments to the Consideration and Profit Guarantee" for further details in relation to the Profit Guarantee Retained Consideration.
Adjustments to the Consideration and Profit Guarantee
Pursuant to the Further Restated SPA, the Purchaser has an absolute discretion to adjust the portion of the New Consideration Shares if, as a result of the issue and allotment of the New Consideration Shares to the Vendors, (i) the Vendors and their concert parties may own 30% or more of the voting rights of the Company; (ii) a mandatory general offer under the Takeovers Code in respect of the Shares will be triggered on the part of the Vendors and

their concert parties; or (iii) the transactions contemplated under the Further Restated SPA will be regarded as a reverse takeover of the Company under the GEM Listing Rules.
The Vendors irrevocably guarantee to the Purchaser that each of the 2016 Net Profit, 2017 Net Profit and 2018 Net Profit shall not be less than RMB50,000,000 (in each case, except for reason due to occurrence of force majeure events (such as natural disaster, war etc.), the acceptance of such exception to the sole discretion of the Purchaser), and agree to indemnify the Purchaser jointly and severally of any 2016 Net Profit Shortfall, 2017 Net Profit Shortfall and 2018 Net Profit Shortfall. According to the Further Restated SPA, for the purpose of the profit guarantee under the 2016 Net Profit, the Profit Guarantee Retained Consideration (i.e. HK$60,000,000 (subject to adjustment, if any)) will not be paid to the Vendors upon Completion pending determination of whether the 2016 Net Profit will be met. Upon the occurrence of a 2016 Net Profit Shortfall, the Purchaser may reduce the portion or the whole of the Profit Guarantee Retained Consideration.

-
(e) all consents, permits, authorisations, authorities and formal approvals (as the case may be) that each of the Purchaser and each of the Vendors considers reasonable pursuant to applicable laws, regulations or rules for the execution, implementation and Completion of the Further Restated SPA (including but not limited to the approval from the Shareholders as required under the GEM Listing Rules and the Stock Exchange's approval and clearance for (i) the allotment and issue of the New Consideration Shares and the listing thereof on the GEM, and (ii) the appointment of the person jointly nominated by the Vendors as an executive Director) having been obtained; and
-
