CHINA AGRI-PRODUCTS EXCHANGE LIMITED

This announcement is jointly made by the board of directors of each of China Agri-Products Exchange Limited (“ CAP ”), Easy One Financial Group Limited (“ EOG ”), Wai Yuen Tong Medicine Holdings Limited (“ WYT ”) and Wang On Group Limited (“ WOG ”) pursuant to Rule 13.09(2) of the Rules (the “ Listing Rules ”) Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “ Stock Exchange ”) and the Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Listing Rules) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).

Reference is made to the joint announcements of CAP, EOG, WYT and WOG dated 26 July 2017 and 16 August 2017 and the announcements of CAP dated 11 August 2017, 25 August 2017 and 4 September 2017 (the “ Announcements ”) in relation to, among other things, the Capital Reorganisation, the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue, and the Whitewash Waiver. Unless otherwise specified, capitalised terms used in this joint announcement have the same meanings given to them in the Announcements.

In light of the unfavourable decision from the Stock Exchange that the listing approval relating to the Rights Issue and the Notes Issue will not be granted, after negotiation between CAP, WYT and Kingston, they have entered into the following termination agreements.

TERMINATION OF THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND NOTES ISSUE

(I) Termination of the Underwriting Agreement

On 15 September 2017, CAP, Key High, WYT and Kingston entered into a termination agreement in which the parties have mutually agreed to terminate, with no further liability or claims towards each other, the Underwriting Agreement with effect on the date thereof.

(II) Termination of the Notes Placing Agreement

On 15 September 2017, CAP and Kingston entered into a termination agreement in which the parties have mutually agreed to terminate, with no further liability or claims towards each other, the Notes Placing Agreement with effect on the date thereof.

(III) Termination of the WYT Note Subscription Agreement

On 15 September 2017, CAP and Key High entered into a termination agreement in which the parties have mutually agreed to terminate, with no further liability or claims towards each other, the WYT Note Subscription Agreement with effect on the date thereof.

(IV) Irrevocable Undertaking

As CAP will not proceed with the Rights Issue and hence the conditions for the Rights Issue (other than the condition relating to the performance of all undertakings and obligations of Onger Investments under the Irrevocable Undertaking) will not be fulfilled, Onger Investments is no longer required to perform its undertakings and obligations under the Irrevocable Undertaking.

(V) Amendment Agreements

As CAP will not proceed with the Rights Issue and other transactions and hence the shareholders’ approval for each of EOG, WYT and WOG will not be obtained, the Amendment Agreements ceased to have any effect. As a result, the 10% per annum interest rate on the Bonds remains unchanged and letters of request for extension have been issued by CAP to each of Double Leads, Winning Rich and Peony Finance and acknowledged by each of Double Leads, Winning Rich and Peony Finance on 15 September 2017, pursuant to which each of Double Leads, Winning Rich and Peony Finance agreed to extend the interest payment date under the Bonds from 31 August 2017 to 30 November 2017 in consideration for an additional amount calculated at the rate of 12% per annum which shall be payable on the accrued interests for such extension period.

TERMINATION OF THE PROPOSED CAPITAL REORGANISATION

The CAP Board further announced that the proposed Capital Reorganisation and the proposed change of board lots will not be proceeded.

INSIDE INFORMATION OF CAP

As disclosed in the interim report of CAP for the six months ended 30 June 2017 and the Announcements, the CAP Group is in need of additional funds so as to be able to repay debt when it falls due over the next few months. The directors of CAP will expedite its sales of properties and continue to explore any possible alternatives or opportunities to improve its financial position by way of refinancing, extension of borrowings and/or equity fund raising. CAP will make further announcements as and when appropriate in accordance with the Listing Rules, the Takeovers Code and the SFO.
