DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION

FURTHER PROVISION OF SHAREHOLDER LOAN

FURTHER PROVISION OF SHAREHOLDER LOAN

On 4 November 2019 (after trading hours), Chengdu Pengyue, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Second Loan Agreement with the Borrower, pursuant to which Chengdu Pengyue agreed to provide the Second Shareholder Loan of an aggregate amount of RMB220,000,000 at an interest rate of 10% per annum to the Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions under the Second Loan Agreement. The Borrower is principally engaged in the development of the urban shantytown in Luosiwan, Xishan District, Kunming City and is owned as to 30% and 70% by Chengdu Pengyue and other Independent Third Parties, respectively, and the Second Shareholder Loan will be provided by Chengdu Pengyue in proportion to its shareholding interest in the Borrower.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios for the Second Shareholder Loan, when aggregated with the First Shareholder Loans and the Maximum Compensation Amount which was provided by the Group within 12 months preceding the Second Loan Agreement, exceeds 5% but are all less than 25%, the provision of the Second Shareholder Loan pursuant to the Second Loan Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company pursuant to the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

BACKGROUND

The Borrower is principally engaged in the development of the urban shantytown in Luosiwan, Xishan District, Kunming City and is owned as to 30% and 70% by Chengdu Pengyue and other Independent Third Parties, respectively, and the Second Shareholder Loan will be provided by Chengdu Pengyue in proportion to its shareholding interest in the Borrower.

Reference is also made to the June Announcement in relation to the Maximum Compensation Amount not exceeding the amount of RMB600,000,000 in aggregate provided by the Group in connection with loans provided by a financial institution to the Borrower and the August Announcement in relation to the provision of the First Shareholder Loans by Chengdu Pengyue of an aggregate amount of

1

RMB1,197,305,682 at an interest rate of 10% per annum to the Borrower in accordance with the terms and conditions under the First Loan Agreements.

FURTHER PROVISION OF SHAREHOLDER LOAN

On 4 November 2019 (after trading hours), Chengdu Pengyue, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Second Loan Agreement with the Borrower and the principal terms of the Second Loan Agreement are set out below:

The aggregate amount of the Second Shareholder Loan and the loan period

Pursuant to the Second Loan Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Second Shareholder Loan is RMB220,000,000 with a term of one year from the date of actual drawdown. The principal amount of the Second Shareholder Loan will be fully repaid at the end of the loan period.

Interest rate of the Second Shareholder Loan

Pursuant to the Second Loan Agreement, the Second Shareholder Loan is subject to an interest rate of 10% per annum, which will be fully paid by the Borrower at the end of the loan period for the Second Shareholder Loan.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SECOND SHAREHOLDER LOAN

The Borrower is principally engaged in the development of the urban shantytown in Luosiwan, Xishan District, Kunming City and is owned as to 30% and 70% by Chengdu Pengyue and other Independent Third Parties, respectively. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement among the shareholders of the Borrower, they will provide financial assistance to the Borrower on a pro rata basis according to their respective shareholding interests in the Borrower. Accordingly, the Second Shareholder Loan will be provided by Chengdu Pengyue in proportion to its shareholding interest in the Borrower. The Directors believe that the provision of the Second Shareholder Loan, together with the First Shareholder Loans, supports the development of the urban shantytown in Luosiwan, Xishan District, Kunming City carried out by the Borrower in accordance with its capital requirements. It is in the interest of the Company to facilitate the development of the urban shantytown in Luosiwan held by the Borrower for sale, as such development project is expected to contribute returns to the Borrower, and thus benefit the Company. In addition, interest income will be generated from the Second Shareholder Loan based on the outstanding principal amount of the Second Shareholder Loan at a rate of 10% per annum, which will contribute to the income of the Group.

Based on the above, the Directors consider the terms of the Second Loan Agreement are entered into on normal commercial terms or better, and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
