REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE AGREEMENTS
Development of the Projects was completed and the sales department of Binjiang Holdings has moved out of the location of the Projects upon their completion. It will be more convenient for the Group, as a provider of ongoing property management services for residential owners of the Projects, to take over the assignment and leasing of the right to use the relevant car parking spaces and storage rooms to residential owners. The Company considers that there will be steady demand for the Car Parking Spaces and Storage Rooms by the residents of the Projects as the ratios between the respective residential units to the Wanjia Mingcheng Phase 1 Car Parking Spaces, the Wanjia Mingcheng Phase 2 Car Parking Spaces, and the Xixi Zhixing Car Parking Spaces are 1:0.982, 1:0.942 and 1:1.016, respectively; and the ratios between the respective residential units to the Wanjia Mingcheng Phase 1 Storage Rooms, the Wanjia Mingcheng Phase 2 Storage Room, and the Xixi Zhixing Storage Rooms are 1:0.030, 1:0.047 and 1:0.075, respectively. As such, the rights assumed by the Group under the Agreements would provide an opportunity for the Group to monetize the right to use the Storage Rooms and Car Parking Spaces as well as enable the Group to bring valuable return for its Shareholders.
The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the terms of the Acquisitions are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms or better, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR PARKING SPACES AND STORAGE ROOMS
As at September 22, 2020, there were no development costs, book value, or relevant original acquisition cost allocated to the Storage Rooms and Car Parking Spaces as such assets were developed by Hangzhou Binpu Real Estate and Hangzhou Pute Real Estate.
