LETTER FROM THE BOARD
As at the Latest Practicable Date, Phase I of Binjiang U Center has been completed and is already in operation. Phase I of Binjiang U Center comprises five office buildings of four to six-storey high with a total gross floor area of 26,850.15 sq.m., and underground, carpark and ancillary with a total gross floor area of 38,497.57 sq.m.
The table below sets out certain audited consolidated financial information of Shanghai Huanyu for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2020:
| For the year ended | For the year ended | |
|---|---|---|
| 31 December | ||
| 2019 | 2020 | |
| (RMB) | (RMB) | |
| Revenue | — | 24,414,464 |
| (Loss) before and after taxation and | ||
| extraordinary items | (3,395,403) | (14,561,326) |
The audited consolidated net asset value of Shanghai Huanyu as at 31 December 2020 was approximately RMB1,634,850,680.
Reasons for and Benefits of the Disposal
The development of the entire Binjiang U Center project involves a long construction period which is currently not expected to be completed until at least the end of 2023 and requires a substantial expected investment amount by Shanghai Huanyu of approximately RMB9,265,000,000 in aggregate. As at 30 June 2021, the carrying amount of the Group’s investment in Shanghai Huanyu approximates to RMB2,739,919,000, which comprises of the Group’s share in the net asset value of Shanghai Huanyu and the Group’s share of the historical acquisition premium in Shanghai Huanyu as at 30 June 2021 (being the carrying amount of aggregate revaluation gain on the parcels of land held by Shanghai Huanyu on the Acquisition Completion Date as at 30 June 2021). Shanghai Huanyu has incurred a total cost of approximately RMB2,400,490,000 so far for the Binjiang U Center project. It was originally anticipated by the Company that the commercial units of Binjiang U Center would be sold after completion for positive investment return. In 2020, the management of Shanghai Huanyu decided to lease out a portion of the completed commercial units in return for steady revenue from the rental income instead. Such long-term shift in the operational model means a further delay in investment recovery period compared to the original expected year of 2046 for investment recovery when the project was launched. The Group expects that the Binjiang U Center project would impose a relatively large impact on the debt ratio of the Group and would not make any significant levels of positive performance contributions to the Group in the short run. Therefore, with a view to lowering the debt ratio of the Group, increasing its cash reserve, facilitating the carryover of profits and laying a solid foundation for the long-term development, active investment and expansion of new projects by the Group, the Group believes that the Disposal represents a good opportunity for the
– 9 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Group to realise its investment in Shanghai Huanyu and any potential gain from the Binjiang U Center project in one go in the form of the Disposal. On the above basis, the Directors are of the view that the terms of the Disposal are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Financial effect arising from the Disposal
Upon Completion, Shanghai Huanyu will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the Group will cease to have any interest in Shanghai Huanyu. The financial results of Shanghai Huanyu will no longer be consolidated with the financial statements of the Group following Completion. Further details of the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group are set out in Appendix III to this circular.
Based on a preliminary assessment, it is estimated that the SUD will record an unaudited gain after taxation on the Disposal of approximately RMB164,000,000 which represents:
-
(i) the Consideration; less
-
(ii) RMB2,717,000,000, being SUD’s interest and the Group’s share of the historical acquisition premium in Shanghai Huanyu as at 31 December 2020 (being the carrying amount of aggregate revaluation gain on the parcels of land held by Shanghai Huanyu on the Acquisition Completion Date as at 31 December 2020); less
-
(iii) RMB695,000,000, being the estimated taxation (the ‘‘Estimated Taxation’’) to be provided based on the Consideration and the initial investment cost.
The actual gain or loss as a result of the Disposal to be recorded by SUD is subject to a final audit to be performed by the auditors of the Company upon Completion.
The excess of the Consideration over the audited consolidated net asset value of Shanghai Huanyu as at 31 December 2020 is approximately RMB1,941 million.
Financial effect on earnings
Upon Completion, the income statements of Shanghai Huanyu will no longer be consolidated to the consolidated income statement of the Group going forward. For illustration, based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming that the Disposal had taken place on 1 January 2021, the total revenue of the Remaining Group would slightly decrease from HK$4,577 million to HK$4,558 million. For further details, please refer to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Financial effect on assets and liabilities
Upon Completion, the balance sheet of Shanghai Huanyu will no longer be consolidated to the consolidated balance sheet of the Group going forward.
As stated in the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Remaining Group as set out in Appendix III to this circular, assuming that the Disposal had taken place on 30 June 2021, the total assets of the Remaining Group would decrease from approximately HK$71,815 million to approximately HK$67,727 million, and the total liabilities of the Remaining Group would decrease from approximately HK$46,159 million to HK$44,097 million. Please refer to Appendix III to this circular for further details.
Net proceeds from the Disposal
Based on a preliminary assessment, it is estimated that the net proceeds before taxation from the Disposal amounts to approximately RMB3,538 million, which represents:
-
(i) the Consideration; less
-
(ii) RMB38 million, being the cash and cash equivalents of Shanghai Huanyu as at 30 June 2021.
Taking into account the Estimated Taxation, the net proceeds from the Disposal which is expected to be approximately RMB2,843 million are expected to be used by the Group as to the follows:
-
(i) approximately RMB1,421,500,000 for the partial repayment of the following medium term notes and advanced bonds:
-
(a) the medium terms notes issued by SUD and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange with maturity due on 11 June 2022. Such medium terms notes have an outstanding principal amount of RMB1,000,000,000 and accrued interest of RMB16,667,000 as of the Latest Practicable Date;
-
(b) the advanced bonds issued by SUD and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange with maturity due on 23 August 2022. Such advanced bonds have an outstanding principal amount of RMB1,150,000,000 and accrued interest of RMB11,356,000 as of the Latest Practicable Date; and
-
(c) the advanced bonds issued by SUD and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange with maturity due on 6 November 2022. Such advanced bonds have an outstanding principal amount of RMB1,767,000,000 and accrued interest of RMB6,582,000 as of the Latest Practicable Date;
– 11 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
the application of such portion of the net proceeds towards the repayment of the above medium term notes and advanced bonds will reduce the amount that is required to be refinanced upon maturity of such notes and bonds, and thereby improving the overall financial performance of the Group;

(ii) approximately RMB1,000,000,000 for the payment of further land parcels to increase the land bank of the Group as and when opportunities arise. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Group has not yet identified any specific land parcel investment opportunities; and
-
(iii) the remaining to be used for settlement of daily operational and capital expenditures of the Group including construction costs incurred for the properties under development.
Listing Rules Implications
As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Buyer is wholly-owned by Xuhui SASAC (a substantial shareholder of SUD). Given SUD is a 59% owned subsidiary of the Company, the Buyer is therefore an associate of Xuhui SASAC and a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level. Accordingly, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules.
Pursuant to Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules, a connected transaction between the listed issuer’s group and a connected person at the subsidiary level on normal commercial terms or better is exempt from the circular, independent financial advice and shareholders’ approval requirements if: (1) the listed issuer’s board of directors have approved the transaction; and (2) the independent non-executive directors have confirmed that the terms of the transaction are fair and reasonable, the transaction is on normal commercial terms or better and in the interests of the listed issuer and its shareholders as a whole.
The Company has obtained approval from the Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) regarding the Disposal and the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) have confirmed that the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable, and that the Disposal are on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. As such, pursuant to Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules, the Disposal is exempted from the circular, independent financial advice and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
However, as the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Disposal exceeds 75%, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal of the Company. Accordingly, the Disposal is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

With the increase in liquidity, the Group will be able to invest and venture into other projects that fit well with the Group’s corporate vision in becoming a developer specialised in city-industry integration in key metropolitan areas.
The Group will continue to adopt a prudent and sound land acquisition strategy to further replenish its land bank, acquire suitable land bank, expand into new markets and explore new business opportunities through conducting extensive research, identifying high-quality assets and making timely market moves with the liquidity it obtains from the Disposal.

As set out in the Company’s announcement dated 1 October 2018, Hunan Qianshuiwan, being a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Remaining Group, commenced legal proceedings against XiangYa School of Medicine, Central South University (中南大學湘雅醫學院) (‘‘Xiangya’’) and Hunan Shangdi Property Development Co., Ltd. (湖南 上地置業發展有限公司) (‘‘Shangdi’’) (Xiangya and Shangdi collectively referred to as the ‘‘Defendants’’) (the ‘‘Litigation’’) in previous years claiming, among others, the return of the surety money to the Remaining Group and damages and to seek a ruling from the court to release the parties from a series of agreements entered into between the Remaining Group and the Defendants in relation to a proposed residential real estate development on a parcel of land (the ‘‘Land’’) located in Changsha (the ‘‘Land Development Agreements’’). In the course of proceedings, the Remaining Group received counterclaims from the Defendants. The Litigation was conducted at different levels of court in the PRC during the years 2010 to 2017 and the judgment rulings were generally in favour of the Remaining Group. However, the judgment handed down by the court on 25 September 2018, after the Defendant’s appeal, was unfavourable to the Remaining Group and the Remaining Group was required, among others, to make a compensation of RMB402.8 million to the Defendants, of which RMB22.8 million relating to the developed part of the Land and RMB380 million relating to the undeveloped part of the Land. The Remaining Group made appeal to the Higher Court and it was heard on 7 June 2019.
The judgment received from the Higher Court on 4 March 2020 (the ‘‘Appeal Judgment’’) was unfavourable to the Remaining Group. The Higher Court ruled that the Land Development Agreements could no longer be performed and while there were breaches committed by both Hunan Qianshuiwan and Shangdi, the fundamental cause was that Hunan Qianshuiwan had changed the development plan without having properly notified the other parties of the termination of the Land Development Agreements, and thereby violating the original intent of the joint development. Pursuant to the Appeal Judgment, (i) the Land Development Agreements should be released with effect from 6 January 2009; (ii) Shangdi shall return to Hunan Qianshuiwan the surety money in the sum of RMB20 million (together with interest accrued from year 2009 to the date of payment); (iii) Hunan Qianshuiwan shall return to Shangdi the earnest money in the sum of RMB10 million (together with interest accrued from 2009 to the date of payment); (iv) Hunan Qianshuiwan is required to pay Shangdi damages in the amount of

APPENDIX I
FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP
RMB122 million (together with interest accrued from year 2007 to the date of payment) as compensation for loss of land use rights in respect of the Land.
The Remaining Group, after obtaining opinions from the PRC’s legal advisors, considered that it had a good ground to make an application for a retrial to repeal the judgment made by the Higher Court and obtain a favourable result to the Remaining Group. Accordingly, during the first half of year 2020, Hunan Qianshuiwan, commenced the process to pursue civil procuratorial protest against the judgment to the People’s Procuratorates 人民檢察院 for a retrial.

The Financial Information has been prepared solely for the purpose of inclusion in the circular to be issued by Shanghai Industrial Urban Development Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’) in connection with the disposal of 60% equity interest in the Disposal Company in accordance with Rule 14.68(2)(a)(i)(A) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Financial Information of the Disposal Company in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information and Rule 14.68(2)(a)(i) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. The directors are also responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Financial Information does not contain sufficient information to constitute a complete set of financial statements as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 1 ‘‘Presentation of Financial Statements’’ or an interim financial report as defined in Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 ‘‘Interim Financial Reporting’’ issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this Financial Information based on our review, and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report.
Scope of Review

issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of the Financial Information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Financial Information of the Disposal Company for the Relevant Periods is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the basis of preparation set out in note 2 to the Financial Information.

vii. The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Group, assuming the Disposal had taken place on 30 June 2021:
-
(a) The adjustments represent the de-recognition of assets and liabilities of the Disposal Company as at 30 June 2021, de-recognition of the Group’s historical acquisition premium in the Disposal Company, de-recognition of the non-controlling interests of the Disposal Company recognised by SUD as at 30 June 2021 and recognition of the estimated gain on the Disposal by the Remaining Group, assuming the Disposal had taken place on 30 June 2021.
The calculation for the estimated gain on the Disposal is set out below:
| RMB’000 Consideration: Cash consideration (Note 1) 3,576,000 Analysis of assets and liabilities over which control was lost (Note 2): Investment properties Equipment Right-of-use assets Properties under development for sale and properties held-for-sale (Note 3) Trade and other receivables Bank balances and cash Trade and other payables Amounts due to related companies Bank borrowings — current Lease liabilities — current Bank borrowings — non-current Lease liabilities — non-current Deferred tax liabilities Net assets disposed of Estimated gain on the Disposal: Total consideration Net assets disposed of Non-controlling interests disposal of (Note 4) Estimated net cash inflow arising on the Disposal: Cash to be received Less: bank balances and cash disposed of |

Note 1: The total consideration for the acquisition of the Equity Interest payable by the Buyer under the Equity Transfer Agreement to the Company in respect of the Disposal is RMB3,576,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,300,144,000, translated at the rate of RMB1 to HK$1.2025, being the exchange rate prevailing as at 30 June 2021). An amount of RMB1,072,800,000, which was paid by the Buyer as a deposit to participate in the public tender for the disposal of 60% equity interests in the Disposal Company through the Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange, shall be applied towards payment of the consideration after the effective date. The effective date is the date of the approval obtained from the Company’s shareholders for the Disposal (the ‘‘Effective Date’’). The remaining balance of the consideration in the amount of RMB2,503,200,000 shall be paid by the Buyer within three business days after the Effective Date. The directors of the Company estimated that the amount of legal and professional fee in relation to the Disposal is immaterial and is not considered in preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position of the Remaining Group. No representation is made that RMB amounts have been, could have been or could be converted to HK$, or vice versa, at that rate or at any other rates or at all.
-
Note 2: Except for the amount of properties under development for sale and properties held-for-sale as detailed in note 3 below, the amounts of assets and liabilities are extracted from the unaudited statement of financial position of the Disposal Company as at 30 June 2021 as set out in Appendix II to this Circular.
-
Note 3: The amount comprises of the carrying amount of properties under development for sale and properties held-for-sale of HK$3,344,921,000 recognised by the Disposal Company as at 30 June 2021 as set out in Appendix II to this Circular and the historical acquisition premium on the Disposal Company of HK$3,661,488,000 recognised by the Group as at 30 June 2021.
-
Note 4: The non-controlling interests of the Disposal Company being disposed of by SUD is calculated based on 40% of the net assets of the Disposal Company (i.e being the portion of equity interest of the Disposal Company not held by SUD) as at 30 June 2021.
-
(b) The adjustment represents share of the estimated gain on the Disposal by the non-controlling shareholder of SUD, which holds 41% equity interests on SUD.
-
(c) The adjustment represents the income tax to be incurred by SUD on the Disposal and the share of the income tax by the non-controlling shareholder of SUD, which holds 41% equity interests on SUD. The income tax on the Disposal is calculated at 25%, being the PRC’s enterprise income tax rate, on the difference between the consideration to be received of RMB3,576,000,000 and the investment cost on the Disposal Company of RMB798,000,000 recognised by SUD, translated at the rate of RMB1 to HK$1.2025, being the exchange rate prevailing as at 30 June 2021. No representation is made that RMB amounts have been, could have been or could be converted to HK$, or vice versa, at that rate or at any other rates or at all.

viii. The adjustment represents (1) the exclusion of the results and other comprehensive income of the Disposal Company for the six months ended 30 June 2021, assuming the Disposal had taken place on 1 January 2021, and (2) allocation of profit and total comprehensive income of the Disposal Company for the six months ended 30 June 2021 to the owners of the Company which hold effective interest of 35.4% on the Disposal Company. The results and other comprehensive income of the Disposal Company are extracted from the unaudited statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the Disposal Company for the six months ended 30 June 2021 as set out in Appendix II to this Circular.
-
ix.

An exchange difference of HK$526,000 arose from retranslation of historical acquisition premium recognised by SUD on the Disposal Company, to which the Company holds effective interest of 35.4%. An exchange difference of HK$43,840,000 arose from retranslation of historical acquisition premium recognised by the Company on SUD’s interest in the Disposal Company, to which the Company holds effective interest of 59%.

Source of Information
We have been provided by the Company with extracts of documents in relation to the title to the Property. However, we have not inspected the original documents to ascertain any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. In the course of our valuations, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Company in respect of the Property in the PRC and have accepted advice on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, identification of the Property, tenancy details, development scheme, construction cost, site and floor areas and all other relevant matters.
Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation report are based on the information provided to us and are therefore only approximations. We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Company which is material to the valuation. We were also advised by the Company that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided.
We would point out that the copies of documents provided to us are mainly compiled in Chinese characters and the transliteration into English represents our understanding of the contents. We would therefore advise the Company to make reference to the original Chinese edition of the documents and consult your legal adviser regarding the legality and interpretation of these documents.
Title Investigation
We have been provided by the Company with copies of documents in relation to the current title to the Property. However, we have not been able to conduct searches to verify the ownership of the Property; we have not inspected the original documents to ascertain any amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us.

VALUATION REPORT
Currency
Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts indicated herein our valuation are in Renminbi (RMB) which is the official currency of the PRC.
Market Volatility
The recent outbreak of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) has brought high volatility to global financial markets and uncertainty to the property market. It is expected that property values will be very sensitive to development of the pandemic and changes in the financial markets. The extents of impact on different sectors of the market are different and the time for marketing and negotiating sale of a property will be longer than normal. There will be less certainty as to how long a valuation may sustain and property prices may fluctuate rapidly and materially over a short period of time. Our valuation of the Property is valid only at the Valuation Date and any subsequent changes in market conditions as well as the resulting impacts on property values after the Valuation Date cannot be taken into account. If any party intends to make reference to our valuation when entering into any transaction, he must bear in mind the high market volatility during this period of time and that property values may or may not have changed since the Valuation Date.
Other Disclosure
We hereby confirm that Cushman & Wakefield Limited and the valuers conducting the valuation have no pecuniary or other interests that could conflict with the proper valuation of the Property or could reasonably be regarded as being capable of affecting our ability to give an unbiased opinion. We confirm that we are an independent qualified valuer, as referred to Rule 5.08 of the Listing Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
Please note that we have been appointed by Shanghai Industrial Holdings Limited (‘‘SIHL’’) to prepare valuation of the Property for public disclosure purpose at the same time.
