REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE FORMATION OF JV

The Land is located in Xuhui District, which is a core urban district in the south-western part of the Shanghai City and has been developed as a commercial centre and a science and technology hub. It is expected that the Land will be located in proximity to the intersection of the existing line 9 and the future line 15 of the Shanghai Metro and the high level of accessibility of the area would support future rental return and property value of the properties to be built on the Land. In view of the government policies regarding technological development, the location and the designated uses of the Land, the Directors consider that the formation of the Project Company for the purposes of acquisition of land use right and development of the Land would provide a valuable investment opportunity and is in line with the business development strategy and planning of the Group.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that although the formation of the Project Company is not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the terms of the Cooperation Agreement are on normal commercial terms, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.

SSUD is an investment holding company, the subsidiaries of which are mainly engaged in property development in the PRC. As at the date of this announcement, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SIUD and therefore an indirect subsidiary of the Company.

Shanghai Nuozhuo was established as an investment holding company holding 55% equity interest in the Project Company. As at the date of this announcement, it is a joint venture of the Group owned as to 50% by SUD (being a non-wholly owned subsidiary of SIUD, which in turn is a non- wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) and 50% by an independent third party.
