3. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF ENTERING INTO THE 2024 LEASE AGREEMENTS

Subject to fulfillment of the conditions precedent to the 2024 Lease Agreements, the unaudited value of the right-of-use asset to be recognised in accordance with HKFRS 16 by the Group under the 2024 Lease Agreements amounted to approximately RMB134 million, which is calculated with reference to the present value of the aggregate rents payable under the 2024 Lease Agreements discounted using incremental borrowing rate of approximately 4.8%.

The unaudited right-of-use asset to be recognised under each of the 2024 Lease Agreements is as follows:

RMB (million)
2024 Putian Fortune Centre Lease Agreement 75
2024 Putian Street Lease Agreement 21
2024 Fuzhou Mabao Lease Agreement 36
2024 Fuzhou Mawei Lease Agreement 2
Total 134

Subject to fulfillment of the conditions precedent to the 2024 Lease Agreements, based on the 2024 Lease Agreements, the consolidated total assets of the Group will increase by approximately RMB134 million, and a corresponding amount of lease liabilities of approximately RMB134 million will be recognised at the same time in the consolidated statement of financial position.

Based on the 2024 Lease Agreements, the right-of-use assets will be depreciated on a straight line basis over the lease term with the annual depreciation charge amounting to approximately RMB67 million which will be charged to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Interest expenses on the lease liabilities will be recognised at the rate of approximately 4.8% per annum on the carrying amount of the lease liabilities.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

4. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE 2024 LEASE AGREEMENTS

The three projects for which the Group intends to continue upon the expiry of the Existing Lease Agreements are Putian Fortune Center (莆田財富中心) (including Putian Zhenro Street (莆田正榮街)), Fuzhou Mabao Zhenro Fortune Centre (福州馬保正榮財富中心) and Fuzhou Mawei Zhenro Fortune Centre (福州馬尾正榮財富中心). Since the Group’s acquisition of Zhenro Commercial Management in 2021, it has engaged in the provision of commercial operational management services to tenants and customers, including without limitation, sublease services in respect of the said properties. The revenue generated by the Group from the sublease services in respect of the said properties for the three years ended 31 December 2023 was able to cover the rent paid by the Group to Zhenro Properties under the Existing Lease Agreements for the relevant period. The entering into of the 2024 Lease Agreements will enable the Company to continue to provide sublease services in its ordinary course of business without disruption to the existing sub-lease arrangements, which will expand the revenue base of the Group.

The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors after taking into consideration the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) is of the view that the terms of the 2024 Lease Agreements and the respective transactions contemplated thereunder (including the annual rent) are fair and reasonable, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

Mr. Liu Weiliang is a non-executive Directors of the Company and an executive director of Zhenro Properties. As a good corporate governance practice, Mr. Liu Weiliang had abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board approving the 2024 Lease Agreements.

Save for the aforesaid, none of the other Directors had or may be regarded as having a material interest in the 2024 Lease Agreements and the respective transactions contemplated thereunder, and therefore none of the other Directors had abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board.

6. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Pursuant to HKFRS 16, subject to fulfillment of the conditions precedent to the 2024 Lease Agreements, entering into the 2024 Lease Agreements as a lessee will require the Group to recognise the right-of-use of the properties under the 2024 Lease Agreements as the right-of-use assets of an estimated aggregate value of approximately RMB134 million on its consolidated statement of financial position. Accordingly, entering into the 2024 Lease Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder will be regarded as an acquisition of assets by the Group under the Listing Rules.

As the highest of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in relation to the acquisition of right-of-use assets to be recognized by the Group under the 2024 Lease Agreements exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the 2024 Lease Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute a major transaction for the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular, and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Zhenro Properties and the Company were indirectly owned as to approximately 45.73% by Mr. Ou and approximately 44.43% by Mr. Ou’s family members. Members of Zhenro Properties Group are therefore connected persons of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the 2024 Lease Agreements constitute connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, which are subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

7. GENERAL

The Company has established the Independent Board Committee comprising all three independent non-executive Directors to advise the Independent Shareholders as to whether the terms of each of the 2024 Lease Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, and whether the respective transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole, and to advise the Independent Shareholders on how to vote at the EGM, after taking into account the recommendations of the Independent Financial Adviser.

Fortune Financial Capital Limited has been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser by the Company to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

8. EGM

The Company will convene and hold the EGM for the Independent Shareholders to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the 2024 Lease Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder. A notice of the EGM is set out on pages 53 to 54 of this circular. In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, all votes to be taken at the EGM will be by way of poll. An announcement on the poll vote results will be published by the Company after the EGM in the manner prescribed under Rule 13.39(5) of the Listing Rules.

A form of proxy for the EGM is enclosed herewith. Shareholders who intend appoint a proxy to attend and vote the EGM shall complete the accompanying form of proxy in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and return it to the Company’s Hong Kong branch share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as soon as possible and in any event not later than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the EGM or any adjournment thereof. Completion and return of the form of proxy will not preclude Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjourned meeting thereof should the Shareholders so wish and in such event, the form of proxy shall be deemed to be revoked.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Board, and having made all reasonable enquiries, Mr. Ou’s family members and their respective associates (including WeiQiang and Warm Shine, who in aggregate held 460,919,832 Shares, representing approximately 44.43% of the issued share capital of the Company, as at the Latest Practicable Date) will be required to abstain from voting on the resolution approving each of the 2024 Lease Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the EGM. Save as disclosed above, to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors and having made all reasonable enquiries, as at the Latest Practicable Date, no other Shareholders had a material interest in the 2024 Lease Agreements and therefore no other Shareholder will be required to abstain from voting on the resolution(s) approving the 2024 Lease Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder at the EGM.

9. RECOMMENDATION

The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors after taking into consideration the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) is of the view that, the terms of the 2024 Lease Agreements and the respective transactions contemplated thereunder (including the annual rent) are fair and reasonable, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

Dear Sir/Madam,

MAJOR AND CONNECTED TRANSACTION IN RELATION TO THE 2024 LEASE AGREEMENTS

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in respect of the 2024 Lease Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the “ Letter From the Board ”) contained in the circular of the Company to the Shareholders dated 9 February 2024 (the “ Circular ”), of which this letter forms part.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Pursuant to HKFRS 16, subject to fulfillment of the conditions precedent to the 2024 Lease Agreements, entering into the 2024 Lease Agreements as a lessee will require the Group to recognise the right-of-use of the properties under the 2024 Lease Agreements (the “ Properties ”) as the right-of-use assets of an estimated aggregate value of approximately RMB134 million on its consolidated statement of financial position. Accordingly, entering into the 2024 Lease Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder will be regarded as acquisition of assets by the Group under the Listing Rules.

As the highest of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in relation to the acquisition of right-of-use assets to be recognized by the Group under the 2024 Lease Agreements exceeds 25% but is less than 100%, the 2024 Lease Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder constitute a major transaction for the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular, and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Zhenro Properties and the Company were indirectly owned as to approximately 45.73% by Mr. Ou and approximately 44.43% by Mr. Ou’s family members. Members of Zhenro Properties Group are therefore connected persons of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the 2024 Lease Agreements constitute connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Board Committee comprising Mr. Ma Haiyue, Mr. Au Yeung Po Fung and Mr. Zhang Wei, being all of the independent non-executive Directors, has been formed to advise the Independent Shareholders on (i) whether the terms of each of the 2024 Lease Agreements are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable; (ii) whether the respective transactions contemplated thereunder are in the ordinary and usual course of the business of the Group and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole; and (iii) how the Independent Shareholders should vote at the EGM, after taking into account our recommendations.

We, Fortune Financial Capital Limited, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this respect. Our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in the same respect has been approved by the Independent Board Committee pursuant to the Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

OUR INDEPENDENCE

We were engaged by the Company as the independent financial adviser for the Renewal of Continuing Connected Transactions, the circular of which was published on 30 December 2022 (the “ Previous Engagement ”). Save for the Previous Engagement, we have not acted in the capacity as financial adviser or as an independent financial adviser or in any other capacity to the Company during the two years immediately prior to this letter. As at the Latest Practicable Date, we do not have any relationship with, or interest in, the Group, the Zhenro Properties Group or other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. Apart from the normal independent financial advisory fee paid or payable to us in connection with this appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no other arrangements exist whereby we had received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Group, the Zhenro Properties Group or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. Accordingly, we consider ourselves independent pursuant to Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our advice and recommendation to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders, we have reviewed, amongst other things:

  • (i) the 2024 Lease Agreements;

  • (ii) the fair rent opinion on the properties under the 2024 Lease Agreements (the “ Opinion Letter ”), prepared by China Faith Appraisers Co., Ltd. (the “ Valuer ”);

  • (iii) the Company’s annual report for FY2022;

  • (iv) the Company’s interim report for the six months ended 30 June 2023; and

  • (v) other information as set out in the Circular.

We have relied on the statements, information, opinions, beliefs and representations contained in the Circular and the information and representations provided to us by the Group, the Directors and/or the management of the Group (the “ Management ”). We have reviewed, inter alia, the statements, information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Circular and the information and representations as provided to us by the Company and the Directors. We have assumed that (i) all statements, information and representations provided by the Directors and the management of the Group; and (ii) the information referred to in the Circular, for which they are solely responsible, were true and accurate at the time when they were provided and continued to be so as at the Latest Practicable Date and the Shareholders will be notified of any material changes to such information and representations before the EGM. We have also assumed that all statements of belief, opinion, intention and expectation made by the Directors in the Circular were reasonably made after due enquiry and careful consideration. We have no reason to suspect that any material facts or information have been

– 27 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

withheld or to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and facts contained in the Circular, or the reasonableness of the representation and opinions expressed by the Company, its advisers and/or the Directors. We have also sought and received confirmation from the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided and the opinions expressed to us or there is undisclosed private agreement/arrangement or implied understanding with anyone concerning the Major and Connected Transactions. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information and taken sufficient and necessary steps to reach an informed view and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion in compliance with Rule 13.80 of the Listing Rules.

We have also not considered the taxation implication on the Group or the Shareholders as a result of the Major and Connected Transactions.

We have not made any independent evaluation or appraisal of the Properties, and we have not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal, save as and except for the Opinion Letter. Since we are not experts in the valuation of land and property, we have relied upon the Opinion Letter for the market rent of the Properties.

The Directors jointly and severally accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and have confirmed, having made all reasonable enquiries, that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the information contained in the Circular is accurate and complete in all material respects and not misleading or deceptive, and there are no other matters the omission of which would make any statement in the Circular misleading.

Our opinion is necessarily based on the financial, economic, market and other conditions in effect and the information made available to us as at the Latest Practicable Date. Shareholders should note that subsequent developments (including any material change in market and economic conditions) may affect and/or change our opinion and we have no obligation to update this opinion to take into account events occurring after the Latest Practicable Date or to update, revise or reaffirm our opinion. In addition, nothing contained in this letter should be construed as a recommendation to hold, sell or buy any Shares or any other securities of the Company.

This letter is issued to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders solely in connection for their consideration of the terms of the 2024 Lease Agreements and the Major and Connected Transactions, and except for its inclusion in the Circular, is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, nor shall this letter be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

– 28 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion in respect of the 2024 Lease Agreements and the Major and Connected Transaction, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background information of the Group

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, the Group is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands, the shares of which are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. The Group is principally engaged in the provision of property management services, value-added services to non-property owners, community value-added services and commercial property management services. Mr. Ou Guoqiang and Mr. Ou Guowei, each being a son of Mr. Ou, through their respective investment companies, own an aggregate of approximately 44.43% of the issued shares of Zhenro Services as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Each of the Lessees is a company established in the PRC with limited liability and wholly owned by Zhenro Commercial Management, which is in turn owned as to 99% by Zhenro Services and 1% by Zero Origin Limited. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Board, and having made all reasonable enquiries, (i) Zero Origin is principally engaged in investment holding and is ultimately beneficially owned by Mr. Liu Pingshan, Mr. Wang Zhiming and other individuals or entities (each holding not more than 10% equity interests in Zero Origin); (ii) Mr. Liu Pingshan and Mr. Wang Zhiming are controlling shareholders of Shan Tian Investment Company Limited, which in turn owns 24.4% of the issued share capital of Zhenro Services; and (iii) Zero Origin and its ultimate beneficial owners are independent third parties of Zhenro Properties.

Each of the Lessees is principally engaged in commercial operational management and property consultancy services in the PRC.

2. Background information of Zhenro Properties Group

As disclosed in the Letter from the Board, Zhenro Properties is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands, the shares of which are listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange.

– 29 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

3. Reasons for and benefits of entering into the 2024 Lease Agreements

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the three projects for which the Group intends to continue upon the expiry of the Existing Lease Agreements are Putian Fortune Center (莆田 財富中心) (including Putian Zhenro Street (莆田正榮街)), Fuzhou Mabao Zhenro Fortune Centre (福州馬保正榮財富中心) and Fuzhou Mawei Zhenro Fortune Centre (福州馬尾正榮 財富中心). Since the Group’s acquisition of Zhenro Commercial Management in 2021, it has engaged in the provision of commercial operational management services to tenants and customers, including without limitation, sublease services in respect of the said properties. The revenue generated by the Group from the sublease services in respect of the said properties for the three years ended 31 December 2023 was able to cover the rent paid by the Group to Zhenro Properties under the Existing Lease Agreements for the relevant period. The entering into of the 2024 Lease Agreements will enable Zhenro Services to continue to provide sublease services in its ordinary course of business without disruption to the existing sub-lease arrangements, which will expand the revenue base of the Group.

The Board (including the independent non-executive directors of Zhenro Services who will express their opinion after taking into consideration the advice of the Independent Financial Adviser) is of the view that the terms of the 2024 Lease Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder (including the annual rent) are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Mr. Liu Weiliang is an executive director of Zhenro Properties and a non-executive director of Zhenro Services. As a good corporate governance practice, Mr. Liu Weiliang had abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board approving the 2024 Lease Agreements.

Save for the aforesaid, none of the other Directors had or may be regarded as having a material interest in the 2024 Lease Agreements and the respective transactions contemplated thereunder, and therefore none of the other Directors had abstained from voting on the relevant resolutions of the Board.

Having considered that (i) the Group is principally engaged in provision of property management service; (ii) the existing transactions will be recurring in nature and similar transactions contemplated thereunder have been taking place in the past years in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group; and (iii) the 2024 Lease Agreements can generate stable rental income for the Group and continuation of the lease agreements will maintain the Group’s sublease business, we are of the view that the entering into of the 2024 Lease Agreements is in the ordinary and usual course of the business of the Group and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

In light of the requirements under Rule 14A.36 of the Listing Rules, prior to entering into any renewal of the 2024 Lease Agreements or other potential transactions between the Group and any connected person(s) of the Company, the finance department of the Company and relevant personnel of the Company will assess the relevant Listing Rules implications and seek professional advice as appropriate, with a view to ensuring that the connected transactions of the Company will only take effect after shareholders’ approval (where required under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules) has been obtained.

(v) Our due diligence

Assessment of the Valuer’s view

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the annual rent of the Properties, we obtained the Opinion Letter which was prepared by the Valuer and noted that the Valuer is of the opinion that the total annual rent under the Lease Agreements is fair and reasonable.

As set out in the Opinion Letter, after taking into account the terms of the 2024 Lease Agreements, it is of the view that (i) the total annual rent under the Lease Agreements is fair and reasonable; and (ii) the increment of 3% of the annual rent is consistent with the prevailing market practice.

As part of our due diligence, we have reviewed the engagement letter of the Valuer and the Opinion Letter and interviewed the Valuer with particular attention to (i) the terms of engagement of the Valuer with the Company in relation to the assessment of the fairness and reasonableness of the annual rent of the Properties under the 2024 Lease Agreements; (ii) the qualifications and experience of the Valuer; and (iii) the methodologies, bases and assumptions adopted by the Valuer and the steps and measures taken by the Valuer in arriving their opinion on the fairness and reasonableness of the annual rent of the Properties under the 2024 Lease Agreement.

According to the engagement letter of the Valuer, the Valuer has been engaged to provide analysis and opinion on the fairness and reasonableness of the annual rent of the Properties under the 2024 Lease Agreements.

The Valuer was established in 1997, with over 25 years of experience in asset valuation and is providing professional services. The Valuer is a qualified asset appraisal company in the PRC to perform the assessment of the fairness and reasonableness of the annual rent of the Properties. The Valuer had extensive experience in undertaking appraisals and has completed over 30 rental valuation projects in the past three years. The valuation project is led by Mr. Hongyan Xia (“Mr. Xia”), who is a Certified Public Valuer of China. Mr. Xia has, among other things, over 15 years of experience in the professional service industry, with a focus on valuation and advisory services, and is experienced in valuations for state-owned enterprises, private and listed companies across various industries. The Valuer confirmed that it is independent from the Company.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

According to the Opinion Letter, the Valuer has adopted the comparison approach with reference to comparable market rent in the assessment of the fairness and reasonableness of the annual rent of the Properties under the 2024 Lease Agreements. This approach rests on the wide acceptance of the market rent comparables as the best indicator and pre-supposes that evidence of relevant rent comparables in the market place can be extrapolated to similar properties, subject to allowances for variable factors. The Valuer selected comparable properties which are comparable to the subject properties. Appropriate adjustments, which are determined based on the Valuer’s professional experience after taking into the relevant factors, mainly the difference between the subject properties and the comparable properties, in (i) the location and age, (ii) the floor level and (iii) leasable size. The general basis of adjustment is that if the Properties are better than the comparable properties, an upward adjustment is made. Alternatively, if the Properties are inferior to or less desirable than the comparable properties, a downward adjustment is made. The valuation was carried out in accordance with the RICS Valuation – Global Standards published by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors and the International Valuation Standards published by the International Valuation Standards Council. The Valuer mainly relied on public information obtained through its own research as well as the information provided by the Company.

We understood from the Valuer that the annual fair rent calculated after applying the abovementioned adjustments is approximately RMB72.3 million. We noted that the annual rent of 2024 (i.e. RMB69.8 million) is lower than the annual fair rent (i.e. RMB72.3 million) and the variance is approximately 3.3% which is less than 5.0%.

Based on (i) our review of the engagement letter between the Company and the Valuer, (ii) the interview with the Valuer, and (iii) other relevant information provided by the Valuer, we are satisfied that the terms and scope of work performed by the Valuer is appropriate to form the opinion on the fair rent of the Properties. We are not aware of any limitation on the scope of work which might have a negative impact on the degree of assurance given by the Valuer.

We have performed works as required under note (1)(d) to Rule 13.80 of the Listing Rules in relation to the Valuer and its work in regard to the 2024 Lease Agreements and are not aware of any matters that would cause us to question the Valuer’s competence and independence and we consider that the Valuer has sufficient expertise to perform the valuation on the fairness and reasonableness of the annual rent of the Properties under the 2024 Lease Agreement.

In light of the above, we consider that the methodology, bases and assumptions adopted by the Valuer in assessing the total annual rent are fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

To further justify fairness and reasonableness of the annual rent of the Properties, we attempted to do independent research from public sources and compare the prevailing annual rent being offered by the properties which are (i) located at the same city or at the vicinity of the Properties, and (ii) with similar usage (the “ Comparable Properties ”). Set out in table 1 below are the comparison between the annual rent of the Properties and the annual rent of the Comparable Properties:

(iv) Fuzhou Mawei Zhenro Fortune Centre 98 (i) 180, (ii) 240
and (iii) 360note 4

Based on our independent research, we found that the annual rent of 2024 of the respective properties under the 2024 Putian Fortune Centre Lease Agreement, 2024 Putian Street Lease Agreement and 2024 Fuzhou Mabao Lease Agreement are within the range of the annual rent of the Comparable Properties and the annual rent of the properties under the 2024 Fuzhou Mawei Lease Agreement is lower than the annual rent of the Comparable Properties identified by us independently. As such, we consider the annual rent of the respective properties under the 2024 Lease Agreements are fair and reasonable and are on normal commercial terms.

Having considered (i) the qualifications and experience of the Valuer; (ii) annual rent of 2024 is lower than the annual fair rent, with a variance less than 5%, which is not less favourable to the lessee, (iii) our independent research on the market rent of the Comparable Properties, we did not identify any major factor which caused us to doubt the fair rent and the relevant adjustments adopted by the Valuer as stated in the Opinion Letter.

Assessment of the payment term

To access whether the payment term under the 2024 Lease Agreement is on normal commercial terms or better, we have conducted market research on payment terms under property lease agreements of connected transactions entered into by issuers listed on the Stock Exchange of which the announcement dates were in year 2023. Based on our market research covering non-exhaustive samples of connected transactions in 2023, we identified not less than 10 samples of property lease related connected transactions and noted that the payment terms under these samples ranged from rent payable in advance in annual basis to payable in arrears in biannual basis (the “Market Payment Terms”). Given the payment term under the 2024 Lease Agreement are not less favorable than the Market Payment Terms, we consider the Payment Terms to be on normal commercial terms or better.

Having also considered (i) the total annual rent of the Properties under the 2024 Lease Agreements is fair and reasonable based on the opinion of Valuer as set out in the Opinion Letter; (ii) the annual increment of 3% of the annual rent is consistent with the prevailing market practice based on the opinion of Valuer as set out in the Opinion Letter; (iii) our independent work performed on the Opinion Letter, together with the independent research on the prevailing market rent of the Comparable Properties and the payment terms as disclosed above, and (iv) the principal terms of the 2024 Lease Agreements and our discussion with the Management, we consider that the terms of the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

In the second half of 2023, the Chinese government released a number of positive signals related to macro policies and the capital market, which were conducive to strengthening market confidence, boosting domestic consumption in China, and promoting the overall stabilization and recovery of the market. The property management and commercial management industry will also usher in a new round of opportunities, which requires the industry to focus on quality itself and prioritize good products + good services.

Facing the new market opportunities and challenges, in the financial year ending 31 December 2024, the Group will continue to uphold the concept of high-quality development, constantly improve its service quality, strengthen the development of information technology, and enhance talent training. The Group will maintain its focus on advantageous fields, independently develop and actively explore innovative paths that align with industry development trends and consider opportunities to diversify the scope of the business of the Group as appropriate.
