Dear Sir or Madam,

MAJOR TRANSACTIONS IN RELATION TO THE DISPOSAL OF 50% SHAREHOLDINGS

IN A SUBSIDIARY HOLDING THE PROJECT IN YAU TONG, KOWLOON AND

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Joint Announcement in relation to the Disposal.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among others, the details of the Disposal as required under the Listing Rules.

  • For identification purpose only

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

AGREEMENT

Date

7 June 2017

Parties

  • (i) Swift Prosper, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of WOP (a listed 75%-subsidiary of the Company) and is principally engaged in investment holding, as the Vendor;

  • (ii) WOP, a listed 75%-owned subsidiary of the Company, as the Vendor’s guarantor;

  • (iii) Xu Qi, a company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of CIFI Holdings and is principally engaged in investment holding, as the Purchaser; and

  • (iv) CIFI Holdings, a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability whose shares are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange (Stock Code: 884), the indirect parent company of Xu Qi, as the Purchaser’s guarantor.

To the best knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, (i) each of the Purchaser, CIFI Holdings and their respective ultimate beneficial owner(s) is a third party independent of and not connected with the Company and its respective connected persons; and (ii) CIFI Holdings and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in property development and property investment business in the PRC. There was no previous transaction entered into between each of the Company and WOP, the Purchaser and CIFI Holdings which shall be aggregated with the Disposal or the Possible Financial Assistance.

Disposed assets

Pursuant to the Agreement, the Purchaser has agreed to acquire and the Vendor has agreed to sell the Sale Share (representing 50% of the entire issued share capital of the Target as at the Latest Practicable Date) and assign the benefit of the Shareholder Loan, which amounted to HK$255,578,535 as at the date of the Agreement.

– 7 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration and payment

The Consideration for the purchase of the Sale Share and the Shareholder Loan shall be HK$664,485,000 (subject to adjustment below), which had been paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor in the following manner:

  • (a) the deposit in the amount of HK$40.0 million had been paid under the Option Agreement and applied towards part-payment of the Consideration; and

  • (b) a sum of HK$624,485,000 (being the balance of the Consideration) had been paid on Completion.

The Consideration shall be adjusted by adding thereto the amount equivalent to half of the Net Current Asset Value (if it is a positive amount) or subtracting therefrom the absolute value of the amount of equivalent to half of such Net Current Asset Value (if it is a negative amount). As the only non current asset of the Target Group is the Property which is not required to be adjusted, the parties agreed to adjust the Consideration only according to the Net Current Asset Value. According to the previous experience of the Group (including the WOP Group) for entering into similar transactions, such kind of adjustment will not be substantial and usually within a range of 5% to 10%. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Consideration was adjusted upward by HK$49.2 million, which was within the expected 10% adjustment range.

The Consideration was determined after arm’s length negotiations between the Purchaser and the Vendor with reference to, inter alia , the market value of the Property and the amount of land premium required to be paid by the Project Company for redevelopment of the Project – residential and commercial development at the Property, the development potential of the Project, the existing status of the Property and unpaid commitments of the Project. The net balance of the Consideration (being the Consideration after deducting the Shareholder Loan and adding the adjusted amount of HK$49.2 million) was priced at a discount of approximately 8.8%, of which such discount is justified by reference to the sharing of risk and financing of the unpaid commitment of the Project and the immediate receipt of the net proceeds from the Disposal for investing in other potential property development projects of the WOP Group.

Completion

The approval from the Shareholders in respect of the Disposal and the Possible Financial Assistance as required under the Listing Rules had been obtained on 7 June 2017, and thus Completion took place immediately upon signing of the Agreement on 7 June 2017. The Target is owned as to 50% by the Vendor and 50% by the Purchaser after Completion. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Vendor intended to retain the remaining shares in the Target.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION OF THE TARGET GROUP

The Target is an investment holding company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands and its sole business is the holding of the entire issued share capital of the Project Company, which is the registered owner of the Property – being the lands located at Nos. 13 and 15, Sze Shan Street, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The Property was acquired by the Project Company in September 2010. Subject to, inter alia , the payment of the land premium, the Property can be developed as a residential and commercial development by the Project Company with site area of about 3,816.4 square metres and estimated gross floor area of about 25,264 square metres. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the land premium had yet to be fully settled and the Property was still pending for construction.

Set out below is the unaudited financial information of the Target Group for the two financial years ended 31 March 2017 extracted from the unaudited management accounts of the Target Group which are prepared under the generally accepted accounting principles in Hong Kong:

For the year For the year
ended 31 March
2017 2016
HK$ million _HK$ _ million
(unaudited) (unaudited)
Revenue
Net profit before taxation 42.1 47.2
Net profit after taxation 42.1 47.2

The unaudited net liability value of the Target as at 31 March 2017 was approximately HK$17.6 million.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Group is principally engaged in (i) management and sub-licensing of Chinese wet markets and treasury management in Hong Kong and the PRC; (ii) property investment and property development in Hong Kong through WOP, a listed 75%-owned subsidiary of the Company; and (iii) manufacturing and/or retailing of pharmaceutical and health food products through WYT, a listed 51.32%-owned subsidiary of the Company. The WOP Group is principally engaged in the businesses of developing residential and commercial properties for sale and investing in commercial and industrial properties for capital appreciation.

The Disposal will result in the Vendor and the Purchaser sharing the development cost of the Project, thereby sharing both the risks and financing of the Project. The WOP Group’s cash flow position will benefit from a lower capital requirement to develop the Project. Furthermore, the WOP Group will also benefit from the Consideration received from the Purchaser, allowing the WOP Group to recover startup expenses and obtain an one-off financial reward in relation to the establishment of such joint venture arrangement for the Project.

– 9 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given that the Possible Financial Assistance would also be provided pro-rata to the WOP Group’s shareholding in the Target and only on normal commercial terms, the directors of both the Company and WOP, including their respective independent non-executive directors, consider that the terms of the Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and each of the Disposal and the provision of the Possible Financial Assistance is in the interests of each of the Company and the Shareholders and WOP and its shareholders.

POSSIBLE FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

Based on, inter alia , the Consideration, the Shareholder Loan, the bank loan, the unaudited net liabilities as at the date of Completion and the related expenses for the Disposal, each of the Group and the WOP Group currently expects to record a gain arising from the Disposal of approximately HK$465.0 million upon Completion subject to review by the auditors of each of the Company and WOP. Shareholders of the Company and WOP should note that the above figures are for illustrative purpose only. The actual gain on the Disposal may be different from the above and will be determined based on the financial position of the Target Group on the date of Completion and the review by the auditors of the Company and WOP.

Upon Completion, the Target Group ceased to be subsidiaries of each of the Group and the WOP Group. The Disposal upon Completion therefore resulted in the deconsolidation of the assets and liabilities of the Target Group from each of the Group and the WOP Group’s consolidated accounts. The Target was accounted for as “joint venture” of the Group and the WOP Group.

USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE DISPOSAL

The net proceeds (after repayment of the principal of the bank loan together with its interest incurred, of approximately HK$52.9 million and deducting other expenses in relation thereto) arising from the Disposal of approximately HK$609.6 million, will be used as to approximately HK$543.6 million for property development (i.e. land acquisition and/or development and construction) and as to approximately HK$66 million for general working capital of the WOP Group.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Restriction on transfer and pre-emption rights

None of the shareholder of the Target shall sell or transfer or dispose of their direct or indirect interests in the shares and the shareholder loan in the Target, other than to their respective affiliates.

In the event that any of the shareholders of the Target wishes to transfer all (but not some only) of the shares and the shareholder loan in the Target (the “ Sale Interest ”) owned by it, it shall first offer the Sale Interest to the other shareholders at the same price as that offered to the third party purchaser and the other shareholders may elect to purchase all (but not some only) of the Sale Interest.

In the event that any deadlock occurs in relation to any matters requiring unanimous approval relating to works and operational matters of the Project (“ Deadlock Matter(s) ”) and the shareholders of the Target shall fail to resolve the Deadlock Matter(s) within 30 days after referring the Deadlock Matter(s) to the senior management of the shareholders, either shareholder of the Target shall have the option to purchase the shares and shareholder’s loans of the other shareholder by serving a written notice on the other shareholder which purchase price shall be based on the fair value of the Target Group as agreed by the parties or as certified by an independent valuation surveyor mutually appointed by the shareholders.

Event of default

A party (the “ Non-defaulting Party ”) may give notice to the other party upon the occurrence of certain events as set out in the Shareholder Agreement (including, without limitation, a material breach of any of its obligations under the Shareholder Agreement by the other party or the entering into liquidation by the other party (in each case, the “ Defaulting Party ”)). After giving such notice, the Defaulting Part shall remedy such breach or default as soon as possible within 21 days after the service of such default notice, failing which the Non-defaulting Party is entitled to require the Defaulting Party

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

to sell to the Non-defaulting Party all of the shares and shareholder loan owned by the Defaulting Party at a discounted value of 30% of the value of the Target as agreed by the parties or determined by auditors based on the certificate of an independent valuation surveyor mutually appointed by the shareholders in accordance with the Shareholder Agreement.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

On 7 June 2017, the Project Company and Wang On Asset Management Limited (an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of WOP and a company principally engaged in property project management) entered into a project management agreement, pursuant to which the Project Company appointed Wang On Asset Management Limited as the project manager to provide the property project management services and marketing services for the Project in consideration for a project management fee of HK$1.0 million per month until completion of the Project, or as otherwise determined.

POSSIBLE PROVISION OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE TO TARGET GROUP

As mentioned above, pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, the funding requirements of the Target Group shall be (i) first met by raising funds by way of external bank borrowings; and (ii) if the external bank borrowings are not able to cover all funding requirements, such funding requirements shall be met by shareholder’s loans advanced by the shareholders of the Target in proportion to their respective shareholdings in the Target. To cater for any funding requirements of the Target Group for the development of the Project in the future (including the payment of land premium and the expected commitments of the development, inter alia , construction and other project development costs, interest and selling expenses), it is expected that financial assistance of not more than HK$1,182 million will be required to be provided by the WOP Group to the Target Group (mainly in the form of provision of corporate guarantee for external bank borrowings and/or shareholder loan (not more than HK$200 million)), but on the basis that it can only be given by the WOP Group severally, in proportion to the Purchaser’s shareholding interests in the Target and on normal commercial term.

The shareholder loan (if any) to be provided will be settled by the internal resources of the WOP Group.

GENERAL

Each of the Disposal and the Possible Financial Assistance constitutes (i) a discloseable transaction for WOP and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules (as some of the applicable percentage ratios as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of each of the Disposal and the Possible Financial Assistance exceed 5% but are less than 25%); and (ii) a major transaction for the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules (as some of the applicable percentage ratios as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of (a) the Disposal exceed 25% but are less than 100%; and (b) the Possible Financial Assistance exceed 25%).

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the directors of the Company, after having made all reasonable enquiries, no shareholders of the Company or any of their respective associates have any material interest in the Agreement, the Disposal and the Possible Financial Assistance, thus no shareholder of the Company is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a special general meeting for the approval of the Agreement, the Disposal and the Possible Financial Assistance. The Company has obtained a written shareholders’ approval from Mr. Tang Ching Ho and his associates, the controlling shareholder group holding approximately 51.76% of the total issued shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, in lieu of holding a special general meeting to approve the Agreement, the Disposal and the Possible Financial Assistance in accordance with Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14.41(a) of the Listing Rules, if the Agreement, the Disposal and the Possible Financial Assistance are to be approved by way of a written Shareholder’s approval obtained from a Shareholder or a closely allied group of Shareholders under Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to despatch this circular to the Shareholders within 15 business days after publication of the Joint Announcement, which is on or before 28 June 2017. As additional time is required to prepare and finalise the financial information including but not limited to, the indebtedness statement of the Group to be included in this circular, the Company has applied to the Stock Exchange for a waiver from strict compliance with Rule 14.41(a) of the Listing Rules, and the Stock Exchange has granted the aforementioned waiver to the Company on 12 June 2017, on the basis that this circular will be despatched on or before 26 July 2017.

RECOMMENDATION

For the reasons set out above, the Directors consider that the terms of the Agreement and the Disposal are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Directors would recommend the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions if the Company were to convene a special general meeting for the approval of the Agreement, the Disposal and the Possible Financial Assistance.

Taking into account the financial resources available to the Group, including internally generated funds and available banking facilities of the Group, the Directors, after due and careful enquiry, 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 publication of this circular, in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances.

4. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors were not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 March 2017, being the date on which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

Economic and market conditions remain volatile in 2017 which have certain impact on the Group’s businesses in mainland China and Hong Kong, however, the Group will continue to demonstrate its resilience and maintain a sustainable growth in term of earnings as well as liquidity. The Government of Hong Kong has committed to increase supply of land in a sustainable manner which will generate a stabilising effect in the property market and moderate the impact of further price hikes. On the other hand, coupled with the Government’s longterm strategic plan to develop new living and business districts in Hong Kong in an attempt to build up a greater metropolitan area, the Group expects population of Hong Kong will increase further and this should generate further inelastic demand for residential properties. The Group therefore keeps an optimistic view about the property market. Given that in recent years, there has been more and more property developers joining the arena for tender of Government land, it has increased competition among developers to acquire development land reserve, the Group will devote further resources and efforts in the tender and search of land for development, and will also look for collaboration opportunities. Furthermore, the Group will continue to look for potential investment properties for recurring income and capital appreciation. The Group is confident about WOP’s prospects in the foreseeable future.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

As mentioned, WYT became a subsidiary of the Group during the year ended 31 March 2017. This marks another milestone of the Group. Taking into account WYT Group’s business track record and financial position, as well as the continued trend of awareness and concern about personal health, the Group is optimistic about the future growth and development of WYT Group. The solid foundations, recognised brand value of WYT Group as well as the addition of new production facilities are undoubtedly the backbone to support the Group’s future expansion plan. The Group believes taking up the controlling stake in WYT is a great opportunity to participate in additional future returns of WYT. WYT enters into a period of transition to the new manufacturing facilities in Yuen Long factory. We anticipate the transition is highly complex in both pricing, production and distribution strategy. The Group will however benefit in the mid-to-long term from addressing our core production bottleneck issues and enhancing cost efficiencies. This will materially improve WYT baseline gross margins in the long run. Together with strategies of strengthening WYT’s pharmaceutical sales and marketing infrastructure, we believe the Group is on the right track turning WYT into a profitable business.

Apart from property-related and pharmaceutical and health care businesses, the operation of Chinese wet market will continue to serve as reliable recurring income sources of the Group. The Group will play an active role in seeking opportunities to expand our management portfolio which may in turn further improves our market leading position.

In order to sustain further growth, the Group is actively exploring various forms of strategic business opportunities, and will develop or invest in new businesses whenever it generates attractive return to the Group and its shareholders.

Wang On Group Limited

Suite 3202, 32/F., Skyline Tower, 39 Wang Kwong Road, Kowloon Bay, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

Re: Valuation of the Property on Nos. 13 and 15, Sze Shan Street, Yau Tong, Kowloon.

In accordance with the instructions from Wang On Group Limited (the “ Company ”) to value the property interests (the “ Property ”) disposed by the Company or its subsidiaries (altogether referred to as the “ Group ”) situated in Hong Kong, we confirm that we have carried out inspections of the Property, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the Property as at 31 May 2017 (the “ date of valuation ”).

BASIS OF VALUATION

Our valuation of the Properties represents the market value which we would define 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”.

TITLESHIP

We have caused searches to be made at the appropriate Land Registry for the Property. However, we have not verified ownership of the Property or to verify the existence of any amendments which do not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference only.

APPENDIX II

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY

VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In valuing the Property, which is held by the Group for future development, we have used the Direct Comparison Approach assuming sale of the Property in its existing state by making reference to comparable land sales transactions as available in the relevant market.

ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the Group sell the Property on the market in their existing states without the benefit of deferred terms contracts, leaseback, joint ventures, management agreements or any similar arrangement which would serve to affect the value of the Property.

As the Property is held by the owner by means of long term Government lease, we have assumed that the owner has a free and uninterrupted right to use the Property for the whole of the unexpired term of its Government Lease.

Other special assumptions for our valuation (if any) would be stated out in the footnotes of the valuation certificate attached herewith.

LIMITING CONDITIONS

No allowance has been made in our report for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Property nor for any expenses 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 their values.

We have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given by the Company 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 not carried out detailed site measurements to verify the correctness of the floor areas in respect of the Property but have assumed that the areas shown on the documents and official plans handed to us are correct. All documents and contracts have been used as reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximations.

The Property was inspected on 27 May 2017 by Tse Wai Leung, who is an employee of Asset Appraisal Limited. However, no structural survey has been made for them. In the course of our inspection, we did not note any apparent defects. We are not, however, able to report whether the buildings and structures inspected by us are free of rot, infestation or any structural defect. No test was carried out on any of the building services and equipment.

APPENDIX II

VALUATION REPORT OF THE PROPERTY

We have also sought confirmation from the Company that no material factors have been omitted from the information supplied.

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