Having considered the proposal and relevant financial statements presented by the Company, the INEDs present at the meeting decided not to exercise the relevant Rights over the Excluded Hotel Businesses and New Union under the Deed of Non-Competition granted to the Company by Jin Jiang International at this stage for reasons detailed below:

EASTERN JIN JIANG:

As notified by Jin Jiang International in writing, Eastern Jin Jiang has been converted into a limited liability company and has obtained the business licence of a limited liability company. The respective capital contributions of the shareholders of Eastern Jin Jiang have been ascertained upon its conversion into a limited liability company. As at the date of this announcement, Jin Jiang International has transferred its 90% equity interests in Eastern Jin Jiang to its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jin Jiang International Investment.

For the purpose of achieving efficient management in a streamlined approach, the business segments have been separated. In November 2018, Eastern Jin Jiang was divided into two limited liability companies, namely Eastern Jin Jiang and Shanghai Jinyang, by injecting assets of east building to Shanghai Jinyang from Eastern Jin Jiang. Jin Jiang International Investment currently holds 90% equity interests in Eastern Jin Jiang and Shanghai Jinyang, respectively. Jin Jiang International Investment is in a position to transfer its interests in Eastern Jin Jiang and Shanghai Jinyang to the Company. It is the Company's decision whether to exercise its Right to purchase Jin Jiang International Investment's 90% direct and indirect equity interests in Eastern Jin Jiang and Shanghai Jinyang.

In accordance with the relevant arrangements disclosed in the Prospectus, an internationally recognized independent valuer will be jointly appointed by the Company and Jin Jiang International to issue a valuation report that would determine the consideration for the purchase of the 90% equity interests in Eastern Jin Jiang and Shanghai Jinyang. In accordance with the relevant PRC laws, Jin Jiang International will appoint another valuer qualified under the PRC laws to issue a second valuation report. Upon issuance of the two valuation reports, the INEDs shall convene a meeting to make a final decision, after considering all factors, on whether to exercise its Right to purchase Jin Jiang International Investment's 90% equity interests in Eastern Jin Jiang and Shanghai Jinyang. The Company will make further announcement(s) in respect of the INEDs' decision on whether to exercise the relevant Right.

PACIFIC SHANGHAI:

As at the date of this announcement, Jin Jiang International Investment owns 70% equity interests in Pacific Shanghai. In accordance with the relevant arrangements disclosed in the Prospectus, an internationally recognized independent valuer will be jointly appointed by the Company and Jin Jiang International to issue a valuation report that would determine the consideration for the purchase of the 70% equity interests in Pacific Shanghai. In accordance with the relevant PRC laws, Jin Jiang International

GARDEN HOTEL SHANGHAI:

As at the date of this announcement, Jin Jiang International has transferred its Right to acquire all the buildings and facilities of Garden Hotel Shanghai after the expiration of its joint venture term of operation to Jin Jiang International Investment. Jin Jiang International Investment currently owns the above-mentioned Right to acquire all the buildings and facilities of Garden Hotel Shanghai.

The joint venture term of operation of Garden Hotel Shanghai has not expired and Jin Jiang International Investment has not yet obtained any of the buildings or facilities of this company. Accordingly, the Company is currently unable to exercise the relevant Right.

JIAOZHOU ROAD INN:

Legal and valid land use right certificates and building ownership certificates for the land and buildings being used by Jiaozhou Road Inn have not yet been obtained. Therefore, the Company is legally unable to exercise the relevant Right. The Company will make further announcement(s) in respect of Jiaozhou Road Inn as and when appropriate.

In accordance with the relevant arrangements disclosed in the Prospectus, the Company and Jin Jiang International will engage an internationally recognized independent valuer to issue a valuation report that will determine the consideration for the purchase of the equity interests in New Union. In accordance with the relevant PRC laws, Jin Jiang International will appoint another valuer qualified under the PRC laws to issue a second valuation report. Upon issuance of the two valuation reports, the INEDs shall convene a meeting to make a final decision, after considering all factors, on whether to exercise its Right to purchase Jin Jiang International's equity interests in New Union.
