PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE MEETINGS

  2. All attendees are required to wear surgical face masks inside the meeting venue at all times. A safe distance between seats are also recommended.
  3. No refreshment will be served and there will be no corporate gifts distributed at the Meetings.
  4. Each attendee may be asked whether (i) he/she travelled outside of Hong Kong within the 14-day period immediately before the Meetings; and (ii) he/she is subject to any quarantine measures prescribed in Hong Kong. Anyone who responds positively to any of these questions may be denied entry into the meeting venue or be required to leave the meeting venue.
  5. Seating at the venue of the Meetings will be arranged so as to allow for appropriate social distancing. If the participants in the Meetings consist of more than 20 persons, the participants will be separated in different rooms or partitioned areas with telecommunication facilities put into use so that each room or partitioned areas will accommodate not more than 20 persons or such other number of persons pursuant to the laws and regulations relating to the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation (Cap. 599G) as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

A Pink combined form of proxy for use at both the Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and a White form of proxy for use at the EGM are enclosed with copies of this Scheme Document sent to the relevant Registered Holders of Share Stapled Units. No proxy form will be provided for the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder as the Trustee-Manager will attend the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder by corporate representative.

The Registers will be closed during such period for the purposes of determining the entitlement of (i) the holders of Scheme Units to attend and vote at the Unitholders Meeting;

  1. the holders of Scheme Preference Shares to attend and vote at the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders; and (iii) the Holders of Share Stapled Units to attend and vote at the EGM. This book close period is not for determining entitlements under the Proposal.

We therefore strongly urge you to attend and vote at the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and the EGM in person or by proxy.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY HOLDERS OF SHARE STAPLED UNITS THROUGH

TRUST OR CCASS

The Trustee-Manager and the Company will not recognize any person as holding any Share Stapled Units through any trust. If you are a Beneficial Owner whose Share Stapled Units are held upon trust by, and registered in the name of, a Registered Owner (other than HKSCC Nominees Limited), you should contact the Registered Owner and provide the Registered Owner with instructions in relation to the manner in which your Share Stapled Units should be voted at the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and/or the EGM. Such instructions should be given in advance of the aforementioned latest time for the lodgment of forms of proxy in respect of the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and/or the EGM in order to provide the Registered Owner with sufficient time to accurately complete and submit his, her or its proxy. To the extent that any Registered Owner requires instructions from any Beneficial Owner in advance of the aforementioned latest time for the lodgment of forms of proxy in respect of the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and/or the EGM, any such Beneficial Owner should comply with the requirements of the Registered Owner.

If you are a Beneficial Owner whose Share Stapled Units are deposited in CCASS and registered under the name of HKSCC Nominees Limited, you must, unless you are an Investor Participant, contact your broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person who is, or has, in turn, deposited such Share Stapled Units with other CCASS Participant, regarding voting instructions to be given to such persons if you wish to vote at the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and/or the EGM.

person with sufficient time to provide HKSCC with instructions in relation to the manner in which the Scheme Units, the Scheme Preference Shares and the Share Stapled Units of the Beneficial Owner should be voted at the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and/or the EGM, respectively. The procedure for voting in respect of the Scheme by the Investor Participants and the other CCASS Participants (being a broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person who is, or has deposited such Share Stapled Units with, a CCASS Participant) with respect to Shares registered under the name of HKSCC Nominees shall be in accordance with the "General Rules of CCASS" and the "CCASS Operational Procedures" in effect from time to time.

In accordance with the direction from the Grand Court, for the purpose of calculating the "majority in number", HKSCC Nominees Limited, being the registered holder of Share Stapled Units in CCASS, shall be permitted to vote once only, either "for" or "against" the Scheme in accordance with instructions from individual CCASS Participants for the purposes of ascertaining whether or not the requirement that a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders approve the Scheme under section 86(2) of the Companies Law has been satisfied.

If you are a Beneficial Owner whose Share Stapled Units are deposited in CCASS, you may also elect to become a Holder of Share Stapled Units of record, and thereby have the right to attend and vote at the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and the EGM. You can become a Holder of Share Stapled Units of record by withdrawing your Share Stapled Units from CCASS and becoming a Registered Owner of such Share Stapled Units. For withdrawal of Share Stapled Units from CCASS and registration thereof, you will be required to pay to CCASS a withdrawal fee per board lot withdrawn, a registration fee for each Share Stapled Units certificate issued, stamp duty on each transfer instrument and, if your Share Stapled Units are held through a financial intermediary, any other relevant fees charged by your financial intermediary. You should contact your broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person in advance of the latest time for lodging transfers of the Share Stapled Units into your name so as to qualify to attend and vote at the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and the EGM, in order to provide such broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person with sufficient time to withdraw the Share Stapled Units from CCASS and register them in your name.

(1) PROPOSED PRIVATIZATION OF JINMAO HOTEL AND THE COMPANY

BY WAY OF A SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT UNDER SECTION 86 OF

THE COMPANIES LAW OF THE CAYMAN ISLANDS AND CLAUSE 34.2 OF

THE TRUST DEED

AND

  1. PROPOSED WITHDRAWAL OF LISTING

1. INTRODUCTION

The Offeror, the Company and Jinmao Hotel jointly announced that on 7 June 2020, the

Offeror requested the Boards to put forward the Proposal for the privatization of Jinmao Hotel and the Company, which, if approved and implemented, would involve (i) the cancellation and

- 22 -

PART IV

LETTER FROM THE BOARDS

extinguishment of the Ordinary Shares, Preference Shares and Units comprising the Scheme Share Stapled Units; and (ii) the withdrawal of the listing of Share Stapled Units on the Stock Exchange. The Cancellation Price will be paid by the Offeror to the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units. The Proposal will be carried out by way of (i) a scheme of arrangement under Section 86 of the Companies Law in relation to the Scheme Shares, and (ii) Clause 34.2 of the Trust Deed in relation to the Scheme Units.

The purpose of this Scheme Document is to provide you with further information regarding the Proposal and the expected timetable and to give you notices of the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and the EGM (together with proxy forms in relation thereto). Your attention is also drawn to the letter from the Independent Board Committee set out in Part V of this Scheme Document, the letter from the Independent Financial Adviser set out in Part VI of this Scheme Document, the Explanatory Statement set out in Part VII of this Scheme Document and the terms of the Scheme set out in Appendix III to this Scheme Document.

2. THE PROPOSAL

Each Share Stapled Unit comprises three components: (i) a Unit, (ii) a beneficial interest in a specifically identified Ordinary Share held by the Trustee-Manager (as trustee-manager of Jinmao Hotel), which is linked to the Unit, and (iii) a specifically identified Preference Share which is stapled to the Unit. Under the Trust Deed and the Articles of Association, the number of Ordinary Shares and Preference Shares in issue must be the same at all times and must also, in each case, be equal to the number of the Units in issue.

Upon the Proposal becoming effective, (i) the Scheme Shares will be cancelled and extinguished pursuant to the Scheme, and (ii) simultaneous with the implementation of the Scheme, on the Effective Date the Scheme Units will also be cancelled in accordance with the Trust Deed.

The share capital of the Company will, on the Effective Date, be reduced by cancelling and extinguishing the Scheme Shares. Please refer to the paragraph headed "5. Holding Structure of the Share Stapled Units" below for further details regarding the holding structure of the Share Stapled Units upon completion of the Proposal.

The total consideration payable to the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units for the cancellation and extinguishment of the Scheme Share Stapled Units will be paid by the Offeror. The Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 per Scheme Share Stapled Unit cancelled and extinguished represents:

  • a premium of approximately 30.4% over the closing price of HK$3.68 per Share Stapled Unit as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

- 23 -

PART IV

LETTER FROM THE BOARDS

  • a premium of approximately 57.9% over the average closing price of approximately HK$3.04 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 72.7% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.78 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 82.5% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.63 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 30 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 86.8% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.57 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 60 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 64.4% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.92 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 57.4% over the audited net assets of the Company per Share Stapled Unit of approximately HK$3.05 as of 31 December 2019 (based on the exchange rate of HK$1: RMB0.89578, the central parity rate published by the People's Bank of China on its website as of 31 December 2019 for illustration purposes);
  • a premium of approximately 3.9% over the closing price of approximately HK$4.62 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;
  • a premium of approximately 81.1% over the unaudited net assets of the Company per Share Stapled Unit of approximately HK$2.65 as of 30 June 2020 (based on the exchange rate of HK$1: RMB0.91344, the central parity rate published by the People's Bank of China on its website as of 30 June 2020 for illustration purposes); and
  • a discount of approximately 21.4% to the Reassessed NAV per Share Stapled Unit of approximately HK$6.11 as at 30 June 2020 based on the total number of issued Share Stapled Units as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Having considered the comparable companies (the "Privatization Comparables"), that conducted privatization in the market as detailed in "5. Evaluation of the Cancellation Price -

5.4 Privatization Comparables" in Part VI Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser, the Boards noted that the cancellation prices of these Privatization Comparables represented an average discount to the reassessed/adjusted net asset value per share of approximately 22.5%. Furthermore, it was noted that while the premium of the Cancellation Price over the closing price of the Share Stapled Unit on the Last Trading Day of approximately 30.4% was slightly below the average of that for the Privatization Comparables, the premiums of the Cancellation Price over the average closing prices of the Share Stapled Unit for the period of 5 days, 10

days, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days prior to the Announcement Date were significantly higher than those of the Privatization Comparables. Accordingly, the Directors consider that the Cancellation Price to be an attractive opportunity for the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Unit to realise their investments as the discount of the Cancellation Price to the Reassessed NAV per Share Stapled Unit of approximately 21.4% is in line with market practice and is lower than the average discount of these Privatization Comparables.

Highest and lowest prices of the Share Stapled Units

During the 18-month period ended on and including the Last Trading Day, the highest closing price of the Share Stapled Units as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$4.73 on 16 April 2019 and the lowest closing price of the Share Stapled Units as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$2.17 on 19 March 2020.

As disclosed in the Announcement, the Offeror will not increase the Cancellation Price and does not reserve the right to do so. Holders of Share Stapled Units and potential investors of Share Stapled Units should be aware that, following the making of this statement, the Offeror has been bound by this statement and will not be allowed to increase the Cancellation Price.

The Cancellation Price has been determined on an arm's length basis after taking into account the financial information of the Group including the financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2019, the Offeror' s review of the Group' s business and its future prospects, the prices of the Share Stapled Units traded on the Stock Exchange and other privatization transactions in Hong Kong in recent years.

Implementation of the Proposal

As the Scheme is only between the Company and the Scheme Shareholders under the Companies Law, not the Unitholders with respect to Jinmao Hotel, the Court Meetings will only be meetings of the Scheme Shareholders. To comply with the meeting requirements of the Trust Deed and the Articles of Association, a separate Unitholders Meeting will be required to be held immediately before the Court Meeting of holders of Scheme Ordinary Shares to enable Unitholders (other than the Offeror) (i.e. holders of Scheme Units) to pass a resolution instructing the Trustee Manager, as holder of the Scheme Ordinary Shares, on how to vote at the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder. A subsequent Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders will then be held, at which the votes cast by the holders of the Scheme Preference Shares shall be deemed to have cast in the same way as per their votes at the Unitholders Meeting.

Immediately following the Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meetings, the EGM will be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving, among others, a special resolution to approve and give effect to (i) the reduction of the share capital of the Company by cancelling and extinguishing the Scheme Shares; (ii) the cancellation of the Scheme Units; and (iii) the withdrawal of listing of the Share Stapled Units on the Stock Exchange upon the Proposal becoming effective.

  2. the Trustee-Manager (as the sole legal owner of the Scheme Ordinary Shares) will exercise its voting rights of the Scheme Ordinary Shares at the relevant Court Meeting as instructed by the votes cast by the Scheme Units to which the Scheme Ordinary Shares are linked at the Unitholders Meeting; and

The Offeror reserves the right to waive Proposal Conditions (l) to (o) either in whole or in part, either generally or in respect of any particular matter. Proposal Conditions (a) to (k) cannot be waived in any event. The Trustee-Manager (as trustee-manager of Jinmao Hotel) or the Company has no right to waive any of the Proposal Conditions.

Pursuant to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the Takeovers Code, the Offeror may only invoke any or all Proposal Conditions as a basis for not proceeding with the Proposal if the circumstances which give rise to the right to invoke any such Proposal Condition are of material significance to the Offeror in the context of the Proposal. All Proposal Conditions will have to be fulfilled or waived, as applicable, on or before the Long Stop Date, failing which the Proposal will lapse. When all Proposal Conditions are satisfied or waived (as applicable), the Proposal will become effective and binding on the Offeror, Jinmao Hotel, the Company and all the Holders of Share Stapled Units (irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted at the Meetings).

6. OFFEROR'S INTENTION REGARDING JINMAO HOTEL AND THE COMPANY

Jinmao Hotel is a fixed single investment trust with an initial focus on the hospitality industry in the PRC. The Group primarily owns and invests in a portfolio of hotels with diversified revenue sources and customer mix from a portfolio of high quality hotels and commercial properties, comprising eight hotels and Jin Mao Tower, a mixed-use development. The properties are all located in prime, strategic locations in top-tier cities or tourist hot spots in the PRC.

Following implementation of the Proposal, the Offeror intends that the Group should continue carrying on its current business and does not intend to make any major changes to the current operations or to discontinue the employment of employees of the Group. The Offeror will continue to monitor the Group's performance and implement appropriate strategies for the Group and its business in light of the challenging environment for hospitality industry in the PRC.

- 34 -

PART IV

LETTER FROM THE BOARDS

7. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSAL

Facilitate long-term growth

The Group is principally an asset owner of hotels and commercial properties in the PRC. These businesses currently face acute challenges arising from the global outbreak of COVID-19. The travel restrictions, quarantine measures and suspension of work imposed by many countries around the world have severely impacted the tourism and leasing industry. Although the Group has taken certain measures in response, its financial and trading prospects continue to be susceptible to the global fallout.

Despite the ongoing challenges, the Offeror remains committed to the Group's long-term prospects. The Offeror intends to implement the necessary transformations to the Group's property portfolio to steer through this difficult period, of which the Offeror will perform a comprehensive optimization and integration over all of its hotels (including those owned by the Group). Such centralized management is key to cost optimization and efficiency improvement, and is conducive to the unification of the personnel assessment and incentive mechanism. It is expected that such optimization and integration will improve the overall competitiveness of the hotels. For avoidance of doubt, the Group will still focus on hotel operation and management, and there will not be major changes to the current operation of the Group. There is no assurance on the success of the transformation and there could be adverse results to the Group's financial performance in the short to medium term, which may in turn affect the Group's ability to pay distribution in the future. The long term objectives are (i) to transform the Group into an internationally renowned and China's first-class hotel investor and operator; (ii) to stay committed to the ideology of "Innovation, Consolidation and Cooperation" (創新、整合、協 作) in order to build the brand value and affiliated organisations; and (iii) to build the brand value and create a mutually beneficial platform for the benefit of the Group and the community as a whole through providing sustainable products, services and continuous policy innovation. The Proposal, if implemented, will give the Offeror greater flexibility to undertake the required transformation and make strategic decisions that align with the Group's long-term objectives, free from the short-term profit expectation, the pressure of market expectations, share price fluctuations and compliance requirements associated with maintaining the listing status of Jinmao Hotel and the Company.

Low liquidity of the Share Stapled Units

The liquidity of the Share Stapled Units has been at a relatively low level over a prolonged period of time, with an average daily trading volume of 221,869 Share Stapled Units since the listing of the Share Stapled Units on the Stock Exchange on 2 July 2014 up to and including the Last Trading Day, representing approximately 0.011% of the total issued Share Stapled Units as at the Last Trading Day. Low trading liquidity of the Share Stapled Units renders it difficult for Holders of Share Stapled Units to execute substantial on-market disposals without adversely affecting the price of the Share Stapled Units. Further, the Directors (excluding members of the Independent Board Committee whose views are set out

- 35 -

PART IV

LETTER FROM THE BOARDS

in Part V of this Scheme Document) believe that such low liquidity hinders the ability of Jinmao Hotel and the Company to raise funds from the public equity market, which no longer serves as a viable source of funding for developing the Group's business.

Attractive opportunity to realise investments

The Proposal is intended to provide the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units with an attractive opportunity to realise their investments in Jinmao Hotel and the Company for cash at a premium. The Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 is higher than the highest closing price in the recent 18-month period. The Cancellation Price represents a premium of approximately (i) 30.4% over the closing price of the Share Stapled Units on the Last Trading Day; (ii) 57.9% over the average closing price of the Share Stapled Units for the 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; (iii) 72.7% over the average closing price of the Share Stapled Units for the 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; (iv) 82.5% over the average closing price of the Share Stapled Units for the 30 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; (v) 86.8% over the average closing price of the Share Stapled Units for the 60 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and (vi) 64.4% over the average closing price of the Share Stapled Units for the 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day.

The Boards have declared final and interim distributions in each of the three years ended 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019 but the Trustee-Manager and the Company does not expect to declare any dividend or distribution before the Effective Date.

PART IV

LETTER FROM THE BOARDS

Mr. Li Congrui, Mr. Zhang Hui and Mr. Jiang Nan, each being a non-executive Director, have abstained and will continue to abstain from voting at meetings of the Boards in relation to the Proposal given each of them has a material interest in the Proposal.

Upon the Proposal becoming effective, (i) all the Scheme Shares will be cancelled and extinguished pursuant to the Scheme; and (ii) the Scheme Units will be cancelled in accordance with the Trust Deed and pursuant to the relevant resolutions of the Holders of Share Stapled Units passed at the EGM. The Scheme Share Stapled Units certificates will thereafter cease to have effect as documents or evidence of title.

PART IV

LETTER FROM THE BOARDS

intention of the Trustee-Manager (as trustee-manager of Jinmao Hotel) and the Company not to retain the listing of the Share Stapled Units of Jinmao Hotel and the Company on the Stock Exchange after the implementation of the Proposal.

12. IF THE PROPOSAL IS NOT APPROVED OR OTHERWISE LAPSES

Subject to the requirements of the Takeovers Code, the Proposal will lapse if any Proposal Condition has not been fulfilled or waived, as applicable, on or before the Long Stop Date. The listing of the Share Stapled Units on the Stock Exchange will not be withdrawn if the Proposal does not become effective.

If the Proposal is not approved or otherwise lapses, there are restrictions under Rule 31.1 of the Takeovers Code on making subsequent offers, to the effect that neither the Offeror nor any person who acted in concert with it in the course of the Proposal (nor any person who is subsequently acting in concert with any of them) may, within 12 months from the date on which the Proposal is not approved or otherwise lapses, announce an offer or possible offer for the Share Stapled Units, except with the consent of the Executive.

Holders of Share Stapled Units and potential investors of Share Stapled Units should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of Jinmao Hotel and the Company. If they are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor or other professional advisers.

13. OVERSEAS HOLDERS OF SCHEME SHARE STAPLED UNITS

This Scheme Document has been prepared for the purposes of complying with the laws of Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands, the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this Scheme Document had been prepared in accordance with the laws of any other jurisdictions.

This Scheme Document does not constitute an offer to buy or sell Share Stapled Units or the solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for the Share Stapled Units in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.

The making and implementation of the Proposal to Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units who are not resident in Hong Kong may be subject to the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which such Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units are located. Such Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal, tax or regulatory requirements. It is the responsibility of any overseas Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units wishing to take any action in relation to the Proposal to satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange control or other consents which may be required, or the compliance with other necessary formalities and the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes due from such holders in such jurisdiction.

15. THE SCHEME SHARE STAPLED UNITS, THE UNITHOLDERS MEETING, THE COURT MEETINGS AND THE EGM

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror held an aggregate of 1,335,319,000 Share Stapled Units, representing approximately 66.77% of the total number of issued Share Stapled Units, which would not constitute Scheme Share Stapled Units and would not be cancelled and extinguished upon the Proposal becoming effective. The 350,000 Share Stapled Units held by Mr. Li Congrui, 771,000 Share Stapled Units held by Mr. Zhang Hui, and 484,500 Share Stapled Units held by Mr. Jiang Nan, will form part of the Scheme Share Stapled Units and will be cancelled and extinguished upon the Proposal becoming effective.

The Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties have undertaken to the Grand Court that they will be bound by the Scheme, so as to ensure that they will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Scheme.

Members of the DBS Group, being a party acting in concert with the Offeror, did not legally or beneficially own, control or have direction over any Share Stapled Units, save for the 24,250,000 Share Stapled Units (representing approximately 1.21% of the total Share Stapled Units in issue) held by DBS Bank on a proprietary basis, acting in the capacity of an

- 43 -

PART IV

LETTER FROM THE BOARDS

exempt principal trader recognized by the Executive for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Any Share Stapled Units held by DBS Bank on a proprietary basis in its capacity as an exempt principal trader (i.e., the 24,250,000 Share Stapled Units) shall not be entitled to vote as an Independent Unitholder at the Unitholders Meeting and as an Independent Ordinary Shareholder (through the Trustee-Manager) or as an Independent Preference Shareholder at the Court Meetings to approve the Proposal and the Scheme pursuant to Rule 35.4 of the Takeovers Code. For the avoidance of doubt, the underlying Scheme Units and Scheme Shares comprising Scheme Share Stapled Units held by any member of the DBS Group in the capacity of exempt principal trader for and on behalf of non-discretionary investment clients are also not entitled to be voted at the Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meetings in accordance with the directions of such non-discretionary investment clients unless the Takeovers Bulletin No. 53 Requirements are complied with.

All Holders of Share Stapled Units will be entitled to attend the EGM and vote on, among other things, a special resolution to approve and give effect to (a) the reduction of the share capital of the Company by cancelling and extinguishing the Scheme Shares; (b) the cancellation of the Scheme Units; and (c) the withdrawal of listing of the Share Stapled Units upon the Proposal becoming effective.

The Offeror has undertaken that if the Scheme is approved at the Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meetings, it will cast the votes in respect of those Share Stapled Units held by it in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.

16. COSTS OF THE SCHEME

If the Independent Board Committee or the Independent Financial Adviser does not recommend the Proposal, and the Scheme is not approved, all expenses incurred by Jinmao Hotel and the Company in connection therewith shall be borne by the Offeror in accordance with Rule 2.3 of the Takeovers Code.

Since the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Financial Adviser have both recommended the Proposal, Jinmao Hotel, the Company and the Offeror have agreed that each party will bear their own costs, charges and expenses.

17. GENERAL

1. The Offeror confirmed that, as at the Latest Practicable Date:

  1. save as disclosed in paragraph headed "Holding Structure of the Share Stapled Units" in this section, none of the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties owned, controlled or had direction over any voting rights and rights over Share Stapled Units;
  2. there were no arrangements (whether by way of option, indemnity or otherwise) in relation to Share Stapled Units between the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties and any other person which might be material to the Proposal;

- 44 -

PART IV

LETTER FROM THE BOARDS

    1. save for the conditions disclosed in the paragraph headed "2. The Proposal - Proposal Conditions" above in this part, there was no agreement or arrangement to which the Offeror was a party which related to the circumstances in which it might or might not invoke or seek to invoke a pre-condition or a condition to the Proposal and/or the Scheme;
    2. there was no arrangement (whether by way of option, indemnity or otherwise) in relation to Share Stapled Units or the shares of the Offeror which might be material to the Proposal and/or the Scheme;
    3. none of the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties had borrowed or lent any Share Stapled Units or any other securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) of Jinmao Hotel or the Company;
    4. there are no options, warrants or convertible securities in respect of the Share Stapled Units held, controlled or directed by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties, or outstanding derivatives in respect of the Share Stapled Units entered into by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties;
    5. save for the Irrevocable Undertakings, no irrevocable commitment to vote for or against the Proposal had been received by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties;
    6. save for the Irrevocable Undertakings, there was no understanding, arrangement or agreement or special deal between (i) any Holders of Share Stapled Units and (ii) (a) the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties or (b) Jinmao Hotel, the Company, its subsidiaries or associated companies (including the Trustee-Manager); and
    7. save for the Cancellation Price, there was no other consideration, compensation or benefit in whatever form paid or to be paid by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties to the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units or their concert parties.
  1. Save for the proprietary dealing in the Share Stapled Units by members of the DBS Group as further detailed in "Appendix II - General Information of the Group and the Offeror
    - (3) Disclosure of Interests - (c) Dealings in the relevant securities of Jinmao Hotel and the Company", during the Relevant Period, none of the Offeror or the Offeror Concert Parties had dealt for value in any Share Stapled Units, convertible securities, warranties, options and derivatives in respect of the Share Stapled Units.
  2. The Trust Deed includes an Exchange Right for the benefit of the Registered Holders of Share Stapled Units. By passing an extraordinary resolution of the Registered Holders of Share Stapled Units, Registered Holders of Share Stapled Units may require that all (but not part only) of the Share Stapled Units in issue be exchanged on an one for one basis for the underlying Ordinary Shares held by the Trustee-Manager (as trustee-manager of Jinmao Hotel) that are linked to the Units being exchanged.

- 45 -

PART IV

LETTER FROM THE BOARDS

If the Exchange Right is exercised, Jinmao Hotel and the Trust Deed would terminate, the Units and Preference Shares would be exchanged with the Trustee-Manager (as trustee- manager of Jinmao Hotel) and cancelled pursuant to the exercise of the Exchange Right and the former Registered Holders of Share Stapled Units would become the holders of an equal number of listed Ordinary Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Exchange Right had not been exercised by any Registered Holders of Share Stapled Units.

18. UNITHOLDERS MEETING, COURT MEETINGS AND EGM

The Scheme is only between the Company and the Scheme Shareholders under the Companies Law, not the Unitholders with respect to Jinmao Hotel. To comply with the meeting requirements of the Trust Deed and the Articles of Association, a separate Unitholders Meeting will be required to be held immediately before the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder to enable Unitholders (other than the Offeror) (i.e. holders of Scheme Units) to pass a resolution instructing the Trustee-Manager, as holder of the Scheme Ordinary Shares, on how to vote at the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder.

In accordance with the direction of the Grand Court, the Court Meetings will be held for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the resolution to approve the Scheme (with or without modification(s)). The Trustee-Manager (as the sole legal owner of the Ordinary Shares) will exercise its voting rights of the Ordinary Shares at the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder in accordance with the votes conferred by the Units to which the Ordinary Shares are linked at the Unitholders Meeting. Following the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder, all holders of Scheme Preference Shareholders whose names appear on the Register of Members and Hong Kong Register of Members as at the Court Meeting Record Date will be entitled to attend and vote on the Scheme at the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders in person or by proxy.

In accordance with the direction from the Grand Court, for the purpose of calculating the "majority in number", HKSCC Nominees Limited, being the registered holder of Share Stapled Units in CCASS, shall be permitted to vote once only, either "for" or "against" the Scheme in accordance with instructions from individual CCASS Participants for the purposes of ascertaining whether or not the requirement that a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders approve the Scheme under section 86(2) of the Companies Law has been satisfied.

In relation to the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder, the Trustee-Manager, as the holder of the legal title to the Ordinary Shares shall be permitted to vote once only, either "for" or "against" the Scheme in accordance with the votes cast at the Unitholders Meeting held immediately prior to the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder for the purposes of ascertaining whether or not the requirement that a majority in number of the Scheme Ordinary Shareholder approve the Scheme under section 86(2) of the Companies Law has been satisfied. The Trustee-Manager shall specify the value of the Scheme Ordinary Shares cast in favour of the Scheme and the number of Unitholders who have given instructions to vote in favour and the value of Scheme Ordinary Shares cast against the Scheme and the number of

- 46 -

PART IV

LETTER FROM THE BOARDS

Unitholders who have given instructions to vote against and shall be treated as having voted in favour of and against the Scheme in the amount and for the value so specified for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the requirement that seventy-five per cent. in value of the Scheme Ordinary Shareholders approve the Scheme under section 86(2) of the Companies Law has been satisfied.

In relation to the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders, in accordance with the Companies Law, the "75% in value" requirement will be met if the total value of the Scheme Preference Shares being voted in favour of the Scheme is at least 75% of the total value of the Scheme Preference Shares voted at the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders. In accordance with the Companies Law, the "majority in number" requirement will be met if the number of the holders of Scheme Preference Shares voting in favour of the Scheme exceeds the number of the holders of Scheme Preference Shares voting against the Scheme at the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders. For the purpose of calculating the "majority in number" requirement, the number of the holder of Scheme Preference Shares, present and voting in person or by proxy, will be counted.

The EGM will be held immediately following the Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meetings have been concluded or adjourned for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing resolutions to approve, among other things, a special resolution to approve and give effect to (i) the reduction of the share capital of the Company by cancelling and extinguishing the Scheme Shares; (ii) the cancellation of the Scheme Units; and (iii) the withdrawal of listing of the Share Stapled Units on the Stock Exchange upon the Proposal becoming effective. All Holders of Share Stapled Units whose names appear on the Share Stapled Units Register as at the EGM Record Date will be entitled to attend and vote in person or by proxy on such resolutions at the EGM.

At the EGM, a poll will be taken and each Holder of Share Stapled Unit present and vote, either in person or by proxy, will be entered to vote all of his/her/its Share Stapled Units in favour of (or against) the special resolution. Alternatively, such Holder of Share Stapled Unit may vote some of their Share Stapled Units in favour of the special resolution and any or all of the balance of their Share Stapled Units against the special resolution (and vice versa).

At the relevant EGM, the special resolution will be put to the vote by way of poll as required under Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules.

Announcement(s) will be jointly made by Jinmao Hotel, the Company and the Offeror in relation to the results of the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meetings and the EGM in accordance with Rule 19.1 of the Takeovers Code to the extent applicable. Information on the number of votes cast for and the number of votes cast against the Proposal or Scheme (as the case may be) and the number of CCASS Participants on whose instructions they are cast will be included in such announcement(s).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Li Congrui, Mr. Zhang Hui and Mr. Jiang Nan, each being a non-executive Director, had abstained and would continue to abstain from voting at meetings of the Boards in relation to the Proposal given each of them had a material interest in the Proposal. Furthermore, as (i) Mr. Li Congrui and Mr. Jiang Nan are executive Directors of the Offeror and Mr. Zhang Hui is a member of the senior management of the Offeror, and

  1. Mr. Li Congrui and Mr. Jiang Nan were also shareholders and option holders of the Offeror and Mr. Zhang Hui was an option holder of the Offeror, they were not considered to be independent for the purpose of making a recommendation to the Proposal and were therefore precluded from joining the Independent Board Committee.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Board Committee, comprising the following independent non-executive Directors, namely Dr. Chen Jieping, Dr. Xin Tao and Mr. Tse Yung Hoi, has been established by the Boards to make a recommendation to the Independent Unitholders, the Independent Ordinary Shareholders (voting through the Trustee-Manager), the Independent Preference Shareholders and the Holders of Share Stapled Units as to whether the terms of the Proposal and the Scheme are, or are not, fair and reasonable and as to voting in respect of the Scheme at the Court Meetings, and the Proposal at the Unitholders Meeting and the EGM. Our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee in the same regard has been approved by the Independent Board Committee.

Mr. Li Congrui, Mr. Zhang Hui and Mr. Jiang Nan, each being a non-executive Director, have abstained and will continue to abstain from voting at meetings of the Boards in relation to the Proposal given each of them has a material interest in the Proposal. As (i) Mr. Li Congrui and Mr. Jiang Nan are executive directors of the Offeror and Mr. Zhang Hui is a member of the senior management of the Offeror; and (ii) Mr. Li Congrui and Mr. Jiang Nan are also shareholders and option holders of the Offeror and Mr. Zhang Hui is an option holder of the Offeror, they are not considered to be independent for the purpose of making a recommendation to the Proposal and are therefore precluded from joining the Independent Board Committee.

OUR INDEPENDENCE

We were appointed as (i) the independent financial adviser to advise the independent board committee and independent shareholders of the Offeror on certain continuing connected transactions (including the relevant annual caps) (the "Past Offeror CCT IFA Appointment"), details of the continuing connected transactions under the Past Offeror CCT IFA Appointment are set out in the circular of the Offeror dated 7 April 2020; and (ii) the independent financial adviser to advise the independent board committee and independent shareholders of the Offeror on the renewal of certain continuing connected transactions (the "Current Offeror CCT IFA Appointment"), details of the continuing connected transactions under the Current Offeror CCT IFA Appointment are set out in the circular of the Offeror dated 7 August 2020. The relevant continuing connected transactions under the Past Offeror CCT IFA Appointment and the Current Offeror CCT IFA Appointment are independent of the Proposal.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we did not have any connection, financial or otherwise with the Offeror, Jinmao Hotel, the Company or any of their respective controlling shareholders, or any party acting, or presumed to be acting in concert with, or have control over any of them, which would create or likely to create the perception of a conflict of interest or reasonably likely to affect the objectivity of our advice. During the past two years, except the normal independent financial advisory fees paid or payable to us in connection with the Past Offeror CCT IFA Appointment, the Current Offeror CCT IFA Appointment and this appointment regarding the Proposal, no arrangements exist whereby we had received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Offeror, Jinmao Hotel, the Company or any of their respective controlling shareholders, or any party acting, or presumed to be acting in concert

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

with, or have control over any of them that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. We therefore consider ourselves suitable to give independent advice to the Independent Board Committee in respect of the Proposal pursuant to Rule 2.6 of the Takeovers Code.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our advice and recommendation to the Independent Board Committee, we have reviewed, among other things:

  1. the Announcement;
  2. Jinmao Hotel and the Company's annual report for the year ended 31 December ("FY") 2019 (the "2019 Annual Report");
  3. Jinmao Hotel and the Company's announcement dated 15 April 2020 with the title of "Unaudited Operational Data for the First Quarter of 2020 and Other Business Update" (the "2020 Q1 Updates"). Other business update refers to details provided by Jinmao Hotel and the Company in the 2020 Q1 Update with respect to (i) the Company's intention to increase revenue by enhancing the expansion of its asset-light business; and (ii) how the Company's communication process had adapted to the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic (the "Pandemic") in the first quarter of 2020;
  4. Jinmao Hotel and the Company's interim results announcement dated 27 July 2020 for the six months ended 30 June ("HY") 2020 (the "2020 Interim Results"); and
  5. other information as set out in the Scheme Document.

We have also discussed with and reviewed the information provided to us by the Company, the Directors and the management of the Trustee-Manager and the Group (collectively, the "Management") regarding the business and outlook of Jinmao Hotel and the Group (the "Trust Group").

We have relied on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the statements, information, opinions and representations contained or referred to in the Scheme Document and the information and representations made to us by the directors of the Offeror and the Management. We have assumed that all information and representations contained or referred to in the Scheme Document and provided to us by the directors of the Offeror and the Management, for which they are responsible, are true, accurate and complete in all respects and not misleading or deceptive at the time when they were provided or made and will continue to be so up to the Latest Practicable Date. Holders of the Share Stapled Units will be notified of material changes as soon as possible, if any, to the information and representations provided and made to us after the Latest Practicable Date pursuant to Rule 9.1 of the Takeovers Code. We have also assumed that all statements of belief, opinion, expectation and intention made by

- 54 -

PART VI

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

the directors of the Offeror and the Management in the Scheme Document were made after due enquiries and careful consideration and there are no other facts not contained in the Scheme Document, the omission of which would make any such statement contained in the Scheme Document misleading. We have no reason to suspect that any relevant information has been withheld, or to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and facts contained in the Scheme Document, or the reasonableness of the opinions expressed by the directors of the Offeror and the Management, which have been provided to us.

We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. However, we have not carried out any independent verification of the information provided by the directors of the Offeror and the Management, nor have we conducted any independent investigation into the business, financial conditions and affairs of the Trust Group or its future prospects.

The Directors jointly and severally accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information disclosed and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries that, to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no other facts not contained in this letter, the omission of which would make any statement herein misleading.

This letter is issued to the Independent Board Committee solely in connection with and for their consideration of the Proposal, and except for its inclusion in the Scheme Document is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, nor shall this letter be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent.

We have not considered the tax and regulatory implications on the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units of acceptance or non-acceptance of the Proposal since these depend on their individual circumstances. In particular, the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units who are residents overseas or subject to overseas taxes or Hong Kong taxation on securities dealings should consider their own tax positions and, if in any doubt, consult their own professional advisers.

BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSAL

Subject to the fulfilment or waiver (as applicable) of the Proposal Conditions, the proposed privatization of Jinmao Hotel and the Company (i.e. the Proposal) will be implemented by way of the Scheme. The following is a summary which sets out the principal terms and conditions of the Scheme and the benefits and rationale of the Proposal. For further details of the Proposal and the Scheme, please refer to the "Letter from the Boards" (the "Letter from the Boards") and the "Explanatory Statement" as set out in Parts IV and VII of the Scheme Document, respectively.

Pursuant to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the Takeovers Code, the Offeror may only invoke any or all Proposal Conditions as a basis for not proceeding with the Proposal if the circumstances which give rise to the right to invoke any such Proposal Condition are of material significance to the Offeror in the context of the Proposal.

3. Irrevocable Undertakings

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion and recommendation for the Proposal, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Business and financial information of Jinmao Hotel and the Company 1.1. Background of Jinmao Hotel and the Company

Jinmao Hotel and the Company was spun off (the "Spin-off") from the Offeror (formerly known as Franshion Properties (China) Limited) as a separate listing (the "Listing") on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange on 2 July 2014 (the "Listing Date").

Jinmao Hotel is a fixed single investment trust with an initial focus on the hospitality industry in the People's Republic of China. The Group primarily owns and invests in a portfolio of hotels with diversified revenue sources and customer mix from a portfolio of high-quality hotels and commercial properties, comprising eight hotels and Jin Mao Tower, a mixed-use development comprising Grand Hyatt Shanghai (one of the eight hotels) and office, retail and tourist areas ("Jin Mao Tower"). The properties are all located in prime, strategic locations in top-tier cities (i.e. Shanghai, Shenzhen and Beijing) or tourist hot spots (i.e. Sanya, Lijiang and Xian) in the People's Republic of China. Set out below is an extract of the property portfolio of the Trust Group from the 2019 Annual Report, comprised the following properties, all of which are located in the People's Republic of China:

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

All of the Trust Group's properties (other than Jin Mao Tower) are standalone hotels. Most of the hotels are managed by globally renowned hotel management companies. Jin Mao Tower is an 88-storey landmark building in Shanghai, with the office area of Jin Mao Tower being classified as a Grade A office building.

The principal activities of the Trust Group comprise hotel operations, property leasing and the provision of property management services in the People's Republic of China. The Trust Group's revenue is primarily derived from hotel rooms, food and beverage businesses, and ancillary services. The Trust Group's gross rental income is derived from leasing the office and retail areas in Jin Mao Tower. The Trust Group also derives certain revenue from operating the observation deck in Jin Mao Tower and providing property management services.

Financial performance for FY2019

During FY2019, revenue of the Trust Group amounted to approximately RMB2,473.7 million, representing a decrease of approximately 3.7% from RMB2,564.9 million for FY2018, which was mainly attributable to the decrease in the revenue from the hotel operations and property leasing segments. In 2019, the Trust Group's revenue from hotel operations was approximately RMB1,767.2 million, representing a decrease of approximately 5.2% as compared to approximately RMB1,864.3 million in FY2018. The Trust Group's revenue from property leasing was approximately RMB480.5 million, representing a decrease of approximately 3.7% as compared to RMB499.0 million in FY2018. Revenue from others, primarily including the Observation Deck on the 88th floor of Jin Mao Tower, property management and asset-light business (including but not limited to tourism consultancy projects and hotel projects of small-and-medium-sized developers in second and third tier cities as disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report), increased by approximately 12.1% as compared to the previous year, which was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue from the Observation Deck on the 88th floor of Jin Mao Tower and asset-light business. The change in revenue from others is consistent with one of the Trust Group's strategy, which is to build a structure of asset-light and asset-heavy business with a combination of long-term and short-term investments.

The profit attributable to the Holders of Share Stapled Units for FY2019 slightly decreased by approximately RMB4.0 million or approximately 1.6%, from approximately RMB250.4 million for FY2018 to approximately RMB246.4 million for FY2019 which was mainly due to the decrease in revenue and increase in finance costs. As a result, earnings per Share Stapled Unit fell slightly from approximately RMB0.125 in FY2018 to approximately RMB0.123 in FY2019.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Financial performance for HY2020

Since the beginning of 2020, as a result of the outbreak of the Pandemic, the hospitality and travel industry has been devastated. During HY2020, revenue of the Trust Group declined sharply by approximately 49.8% from RMB1,218.6 million for HY2019 to approximately RMB611.2 million, which was mainly due to the outbreak of the Pandemic which had a material adverse impact on hotel operations of the Trust Group. The revenue from hotel operations was approximately RMB336.3 million, which declined the most amongst all the segments of the Trust Group, representing a decrease of approximately 61.9% as compared to approximately RMB882.3 million in HY2019. The revenue from property leasing, being the least affected business segment by the Pandemic, was approximately RMB192.5 million, representing a moderate decrease of approximately 16.7% as compared to RMB231.1 million in HY2019. Revenue from the others segment decreased by approximately 21.7% from approximately RMB105.2 million in HY2019 to approximately RMB82.4 million in HY2020.

The significant decline in revenue across all segments of the Trust Group had turned the profit-making position of the Trust Group into a net loss of approximately RMB157.2 million for HY2020. As a result, compared to an earnings per Share Stapled Unit of approximately RMB0.0832 in HY2019, the Trust Group booked a loss per Share Stapled Unit of approximately RMB0.0786 in HY2020.

As disclosed in the 2020 Interim Results, the Trust Group's non-current assets as at 30 June 2020 mainly consisted of property, plant and equipment ("PPE"), investment properties, and right-of-use assets. The Trust Group's current assets as at 30 June 2020 mainly consisted of cash and cash equivalents. The Trust Group's non-current liabilities as at 30 June 2020 comprised interest-bearing bank borrowings and deferred tax liabilities. The Trust Group's current liabilities as at 30 June 2020 mainly consisted of interest-bearing bank and other borrowings and amount due to related parties.

As at 31 December 2018, 31 December 2019 and 30 June 2020, the Trust Group recorded net assets of approximately RMB5,829.8 million, RMB5,460.2 million and RMB4,840.1 million, respectively. Such decreasing trend was consistent with the understanding that over this period, the distributions made and paid by the Trust Group each year outweighed the retained earnings which was, to a large extent, subject to depreciation charges of the Trust Group's hotel properties for that year, as explained under the paragraph headed "Historical distributions" in this sub-section below.

PPE

As at 30 June 2020, the hotel portfolio consisted of 8 hotels of the Trust Group was accounted for as PPE which amounted to approximately RMB6,513.2 million, representing a slight decrease of approximately 1.8% from approximately RMB6,635.8

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

million as at 31 December 2019 mainly due to the depreciation charges during the period. The Trust Group's accounting policies stated that PPE, other than construction in progress, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis to write off the cost of each item of PPE to its residual value over its estimated useful life.

Investment properties

As at 30 June 2020, investment properties of the Trust Group were approximately RMB9,173.3 million (as at 31 December 2019: RMB9,168.9 million), which mainly comprised the office portions (excluding the self-use portions) of Jin Mao Tower, Shanghai J•LIFE, Beijing Wangfujing Quadrangle Courtyard and Jinmao Boill e-Wisdom Valley Executive Apartment. These investment properties are leased to related parties and third parties under operating leases. The slight increase in investment properties of the Trust Group as at 30 June 2020 compared to that of 31 December 2019 was manly driven by the slight upward revaluation of the Trust Groups' investment properties conducted by C&W.

The above investment properties are stated at fair value, which reflects market conditions at the end of the reporting period according to the Trust Group's accounting policies. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in the statement of profit or loss in the year in which they arise.

Right-of-use assets

The Trust Group leased certain of their office properties, staff quarters and an operating property under operating lease arrangements as a lessee as at 30 June 2020. It recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets accordingly to the Trust Group's accounting policies. The right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation on a straight-line basis and any impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities.

Investment in an associate

On 5 December 2018, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Trust Group entered into a limited partnership agreement in relation to the establishment of a fund namely Tianjin Xinmao Equity Investment Partnership (Limited Partnership) (天津信茂股權投資合夥企 業(有限合夥)) (the "Fund"). The Fund holds 100% equity investment in Shaanxi Gulou Grand Hotel Company Limited (陝西鼓樓大酒店有限公司) ("Shaanxi Gulou") and the primary assets of Shaanxi Gulou include a hotel namely Jinmao Hotel Xi'an Central, which is situated in the Drum Tower business circle, the core of tourism of Xi'an and comprise 160 rooms.

The Trust Group owned the Fund as an associate. The share of net assets from this associate amounted to approximately RMB61.6 million as at 30 June 2020 (as at 31 December 2019: RMB68.3 million). The Trust Group's investment in an associate is stated in the consolidated statement of financial position at the Trust Groups' share of net assets under the equity method of accounting, less any impairment losses.

Liquidity and gearing

As at 30 June 2020, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of approximately RMB737.6 million (as at 31 December 2019: RMB707.1 million). The Trust Group primarily uses its cash to fund working capital and daily recurring expenses of the property leasing and hotel operations, and the repayment of the Trust Group's indebtedness. The Trust Group has financed its liquidity requirements primarily through internal resources, bank and other loans and issue of medium-term notes and short-term commercial papers.

The Trust Group monitors its capital on the basis of the net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio. The net debt of the Trust Group as at 30 June 2020 amounted to approximately RMB7,876.6 million (as at 31 December 2019: RMB6,521.0 million) of which was mainly made up of total interest-bearing bank and other borrowings of RMB8,621.7 million (as at 31 December 2019: RMB7,241.6 million). The net debt-to-adjusted capital ratio of the Trust Group has reached over 80% as at 31 December 2019 and up to 120% as at 30 June 2020, representing a highly geared capital structure of the Trust Group.

Historical distributions

As the Trust Group adopts the Share Stapled Units structure, the objectives of Jinmao Hotel and the Company are (i) to focus principally on the payment of distributions to the Holders of Share Stapled Units with a clearly expressed intention as to their respective distribution policies stated in the Trust Deed and the Articles of Association; and (ii) to provide the Holders of Share Stapled Units with the potential for sustainable long-term growth in the distributions payable to them and the benefits which arise from the enhancement in the value of the Group's portfolio of properties.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Trust Deed and the Articles of Association state that, except with the prior approval of an ordinary resolution of Registered Holders of Share Stapled Units and subject to compliance with all applicable laws of the Cayman Islands and the Articles of Association, the Directors will declare and distribute 100% of the distributable income of the Company in respect of each financial year to the Trustee-Manager (the "Group Distributable Income"). The Trust Deed further requires the Trustee-Manager (on behalf of Jinmao Hotel) to distribute 100% of the dividends, distributions and other amounts received by the Trustee-Manager in respect of the Ordinary Shares from the Company, after deduction of all amounts permitted to be deducted or paid under the Trust Deed (the "Trust Distributable Income") to the Holders of Share Stapled Units.

The Group Distribution Income received by the Trust-Manager from the Company is based on the audited consolidated profit attributable to the Holders of Share Stapled Units in respect of the relevant financial year or the relevant distribution period after giving effect to certain adjustments including, among others, (i) unrealized revaluation gains/losses, including impairment provisions and reversals of impairment provisions; (ii) impairment of goodwill/recognition of negative goodwill; and (iii) material non-cash gains/losses. Hence, due to the large depreciation charge on the Trust Group's hotel properties. we understood that the amount of the Group Distributable Income has always been greater than the audited consolidated profit attributable to the Holders of Share Stapled Units at any given financial year. This is indeed one of the advantages of adopting the Share Stapled Units structure as higher distributions from the Trust Group are expected when compared to dividends that are distributed from accounting profit of other listed issuers.

Since the Listing, due to the intensifying supply and demand imbalance of high-end hotels caused by the decelerating global and domestic growth which created operating pressure on the Trust Group, the net profit for the year/period, Group Distributable Income and the Trust Distributable Income as illustrated in Table 5 below for each of the period from the Listing Date to 31 December 2014 (the "First Distribution Period 2014"), FY2015, FY2016, FY2017, FY2018 and FY2019 has shown a general decreasing trend. As a result, the distribution per Share Stapled Unit has followed a similar downward trend, which amounted to HK$0.2405, HK$0.4335, HK$0.3568, HK$0.3505, HK$0.3343, HK$0.3203, respectively, for each of the First Distribution Period 2014, FY2015, FY2016, FY2017, FY2018 and FY2019, totaling approximately HK$2.04 per Share Stapled Unit. As set out in the 2020 Interim Results, the hotel properties of the Trust Group were greatly impacted by the travel restrictions, social distancing measures and governmental actions in response to the Pandemic and the financial performance of the Trust Group for HY2020 deteriorated significantly as discussed in this section above. Given the loss-making position, the Trust Group will not pay any interim distribution for HY2020.

1.3. Outlook of the Trust Group

2019 was already a difficult year for the Chinese hotel industry, affected by the external environment of decelerating global economic growth, rising protectionism and political tensions, the Pandemic which broke out in early 2020 was creating even more anxiety and pressure to the Chinese hoteliers. As set out in the 2019 Annual Report, the prosperity index of the hospitality industry, which is computed by a specific mathematical index model to quantify hotel employees' expectations of the future development of the hotel industry, for the 1st half of 2020 published by 浩華管理顧問公司 (Horwath HTL) a consulting firm and the division of Crowe Global specializing in hotel and tourism management consulting services in the Asia-Pacific region, has been falling to its lowest value since the second half of 2013. Throughout hotels nationwide, except for a few regions, performance fell across the board. In the background of a long-term steady growth in hotel supply but a decline in the growth of demand, the supply-demand imbalance has caused the decline in hotel occupancy and revenue per available room ("RevPAR"). Among which, the imbalance between supply and demand of high-end hotels has further intensified, and it is expected that this sub-market will continue to be under pressure going forward.

As set out in the 2020Q1 Updates, the outbreak of the Pandemic at the beginning of 2020 has produced a huge impact on the hospitality industry and the entire tourism industry in the People's Republic of China. The hotel and tourism businesses of the Trust Group were also significantly affected. The affiliated hotels of the Trust Group maintained operations during the Pandemic. However, occupancy fell sharply. Likewise given the operational safety considerations and in response to the relevant governmental requirements, the tourism business of Jin Mao Tower has been closed in late January 2020. As advised by the Management, the leasing of the office premises at Jin Mao Tower is expected to remain resilient in the short-term but there remains uncertainty for the future. Despite the prompt and comprehensive measures implemented by the Trust Group at the outset of the Pandemic, RevPAR and occupancy of the Trust Group's hotels were still hit hard during the Pandemic where quarter-on-quarter accumulated RevPAR of the Trust Group's hotels for the first quarter of 2020 fell by various degrees ranging from approximately 56.2% to 72.1% while quarter-on-quarter accumulated occupancy of the Trust Group's hotels for the first quarter of 2020 fell by more than 60%.

According to the market statistics of STR, Inc. ("STR"), a market data provider on the hotel industry worldwide which, according to its website, currently tracks 68,000 hotels in 180 countries, and has operation internationally in Asia Pacific, Central & South America, Europe, Middle East & Africa and North America, measured in RMB and comparing May 2020 against May 2019, STR highlighted that, in general, occupancy, average daily rate and RevPAR of hotels in China fell by approximately 33.7%, 24.5% and 50.0%, respectively. Given that the prevention and control policies to combat the Pandemic in various regions of China remain stringent and people continue to be cautious with regards to travelling and business trips, coupled with the cancellation of conventions and exhibitions, the consumption of the tourism industry and the hospitality industry for the first half of FY2020 remained depressed as compared with that in the same period of

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

FY2019. The disappointing interim results of the Trust Group for HY2020 was a manifestation of the dampening effects created by the Pandemic on the financial performance of the Trust Group. In light of the latest development of the Pandemic in the second quarter of 2020, the epidemic conditions in China stabilized coupled with the resumption of work and production, hotel occupancy in some Southern coastal cities such as Shanghai, Shenzhen and Sanya rebounded, although they remained far from that in the corresponding period of 2019.

In the second quarter of 2020, China tourism industry experienced a gradual rebound under regular epidemic prevention. According to 同程藝龍 (Tongcheng-Elong), an online travel agency giant, over 85% of hotels across China have resumed operations as at 30 April 2020, showing signs that the Chinese hotel industry is still able to gradually recover from the Pandemic by adjusting its strategy quickly.

As mentioned in the 2020 Interim Results, although the epidemic in the People's Republic of China has stabilized and the situation has improved, the Pandemic continues to rage on a global scale. All inbound and outbound travels have been basically suspended. With the demand for international travel and social gatherings remains low, the hospitality business will continue to be materially affected for a certain period of time. Given the Pandemic's detrimental impact on the Trust Group's financial results of HY2020, no payment of interim distribution for HY2020 will be made to the Holders of Share Stapled Units.

On the other hand, the property leasing segment of the Trust Group felt similar pressure from decentralization trends in the central business districts. The impact of the Pandemic on the property leasing segment of the Trust Group, however, has not been as severe. Notably, as reported by Knight Frank and Savills, both being the leading global real estate industry advisers, the average vacancy rate in Shanghai Grade-A office market for the first quarter of 2020 only increased slightly by approximately 0.6% quarter-on- quarter to approximately 14.0% which was mainly caused by the weaker market demand and the decrease of leasing activities during the relevant period while vacancy rate in Shanghai prime retail areas for the first quarter of 2020 increased by approximately 1.4% quarter-on-quarter to approximately 7.4%. Many Shanghai landlords gave rental concessions to struggling tenants as a temporary measure in response to the Pandemic and we understood Jin Mao Tower also followed suit to demonstrate solidarity during these times. The industry advisers pointed out that the biggest downside risk for Shanghai's investment property market is a slower recovery in the People's Republic of China economy. Based on our discussion with the Management and C&W, given the status, quality and prime location of Jin Mao Tower at the heart of Lujiazui Finance and Trade Zone of Shanghai, we understood and concurred with the Management and C&W that the outlook for the Trust Group's property leasing segment in the short to medium remains to be cautiously positive. With the high quality of the property and professional services, Jin Mao Tower office retained existing major clients and took flexible sales strategies to firmly grasp new leases for small and medium size properties and rental renewals in HY2020. As a result, as at 30 June 2020, Jin Mao Tower office was still be able to achieve

- 68 -

PART VI

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

an occupancy of 92.4% (as at 31 December 2019: 92.7%), which was far above the market average. On the other hand, as at 30 June 2020, Shanghai J•LIFE, located on the six-level podium of Jin Mao Tower, has also achieved an occupancy of 95.5% (as at 31 December 2019: 99.3%).

As the road to recovery for the Chinese hospitality industry are subject to many factors, such as the effectiveness and the stringency of the prevention and control policies of not only the People's Republic of China but the global community, the global economic outlook, the general attitude of domestic and international tourists on travelling within and into China during and after this Pandemic period, etc., the Trust Group's outlook remains uncertain in the short to medium term.

2. Reasons for and benefits of the Proposal

The directors of the Offeror at the time of the Listing were of the view that as a company with a single clear initial focus on the hospitality industry in the People's Republic of China and as a dedicated owner and investor of luxury hotel portfolio, the value the Trust Group would be unlocked and valued on a standalone basis. The Spin-off was expected to align the Trust Group's mature and stable cash flow generating characteristic with the appropriate investor base that would favour a clearly expressed distribution policy and pure-play investments, would increase visibility of the Trust Group's future earnings and encourage direct research coverage, resulting in a more transparent and fairer valuation of the Trust Group. The directors of the Offeror at the time were also of the view that as a result of the Spin-off, among others, the Offeror and the Trust Group would have separate fundraising platforms in the equity and debt capital markets, which would increase financing flexibility for both parties to support their respective growth. It was also envisaged that a separate listing of Jinmao Hotel and the Company would also provide clarity to the credit profile of the Trust Group and to financial institutions that wish to analyse and lend against the credit rating of a hospitality business.

After six years since the Spin-off, the Directors cited the following as the reasons for benefits of the Proposal. We have also set out below our corresponding analysis of these reasons and benefits.

Facilitate long-term growth

As set out in the Letter from the Boards, the Trust Group's principal businesses of hotels and commercial properties in the People's Republic of China are currently facing acute challenges arising from the global outbreak of the Pandemic. The travel restrictions, quarantine measures and suspension of work imposed by many countries around the world have severely impacted the tourism and leasing industry. Despite efforts made by the Trust Group to counter-response the negative impacts brought about by the Pandemic, the Trust Group's financial and trading prospects continue to be susceptible to the global fallout which echo with our analysis as set out in the sub-section headed "1.3. Outlook of the Trust Group" above.

- 69 -

PART VI

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Under the circumstances, we understood the Offeror remains committed to the Trust Group's long-term prospects. As set out in the Letter from the Boards, the Offeror intends to implement the necessary transformations to the Trust Group's property portfolio to steer through this difficult period, of which the Offeror will perform a comprehensive optimization and integration over all of its hotels (including those owned by the Group). Such centralized management is key to cost optimization and efficiency improvement, and is conducive to the unification of the personnel assessment and incentive mechanism. It is expected that such optimization and integration will improve the overall competitiveness of the hotels. For avoidance of doubt, the Group will still focus on hotel operation and management, and there will not be major changes to the current operation of the Group. There is no assurance on the success of the transformation and there could be adverse results to the Trust Group's financial performance in the short to medium term, which may in turn affect the Trust Group's ability to pay distribution in the future. The Proposal, if implemented, will give the Offeror greater flexibility to undertake the required transformation and make strategic decisions that align with the Trust Group's long-term objectives (i.e. (i) to transform the Trust Group into an internationally renowned and China's first-class hotel investor and operator; (ii) to stay committed to the ideology of "Innovation, Consolidation and Cooperation" (創新、整合、協 作) in order to build the brand value and affiliated organizations; and (iii) to build the brand value and create a mutually beneficial platform for the benefit of the Trust Group and the community as a whole through providing sustainable products, services and continuous policy innovation), free from the short-term profit expectation, the pressure of market expectations, share price fluctuations and compliance requirements associated with maintaining the listing status of Jinmao Hotel and the Company.

We note, however, the above are mainly reasons and motives of the Offeror to implement the Proposal. Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units may wish to be mindful that should the Proposal lapses, the necessary transformations to the Trust Group's property portfolio to be brought about by the Offeror may adversely impact the Trust Group's financial performance in the short to medium term which will ultimately impact on the future distributions of the Trust Group.

Low liquidity of the Share Stapled Units

As set out in the Letter from the Boards, the liquidity of the Share Stapled Units has been at a relatively low level over a prolonged period of time, with an average daily trading volume of 221,869 Share Stapled Units since the Listing on the Listing Date (i.e. 2 July 2014) up to and including the Last Trading Day, representing approximately 0.011% of the total issued Share Stapled Units as at the Last Trading Day and approximately 0.033% of the total number of Share Stapled Units held by public as at the Last Trading Day. Low trading liquidity of the Share Stapled Units renders it difficult for Holders of Share Stapled Units to execute substantial on-market disposals without adversely affecting the price of the Share Stapled Units. As such, the Directors believe that such low liquidity hinders the ability of the Trust Group to raise funds from the public equity market, which no longer serves as a viable source of funding for developing the Group's business.

- 70 -

PART VI

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Our research as set out in the section headed "4. Trading volume of the Share Stapled Units" below confirms the above details cited by the Directors. Given the thin liquidity of the Share Stapled Units as illustrated by our research under the said section below, we are of the view that the Proposal (by way of the Scheme) allows Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units to dispose of their Share Stapled Units, particularly those Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units holding a significant block of Scheme Share Stapled Units, in the open market without causing an adverse impact on the market price of the Share Stapled Units. In addition, we note all of the fund-raising activities conducted by the Trust Group after the Listing Date (i.e. 2 July 2014) up to and including the Last Trading Day were debt instruments issuances only. Such finding is supportive of the Directors' view that the low liquidity level of the Share Stapled Units hinders the ability of the Trust Group to tap into the public equity market.

Attractive opportunity to realize investments

As set out in the Letter from the Boards, the Proposal is intended to provide the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units with an attractive opportunity to realize their investments in Jinmao Hotel and the Company for cash at a premium. The Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 is higher than the highest closing price of HK$4.73 in the recent 18-month period from 5 December 2018 to the Last Trading Day. The Cancellation Price represents a premium of approximately 30.4% over the closing price of the Share Stapled Units on the Last Trading Day while represents premiums of approximately 57.9%, 72.7%, 82.5%, 86.8% and 64.4% over the average closing prices of the Share Stapled Units for the 5, 10, 30, 60 and 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day, respectively. The Cancellation Price also represents an attractive premium of approximately 57.4% over the audited net asset value ("NAV") of the Company per Share Stapled Unit of approximately HK$3.05 as of 31 December 2019 (based on the exchange rate of HK$1: RMB0.89578, the central parity rate published by the People's Bank of China (the "PBOC") on its website as of 31 December 2019 for illustration purposes) although at a discount of 21.4% to the Reassessed NAV (as defined below), which nevertheless compared well against those of the Privatization Comparables (as defined below) that we identified in our research as set out in the sub-section headed "5. Evaluation of the Cancellation Price - 5.4. Privatization Comparables" below.

3. Valuation of the property interests of the Trust Group and the Reassessed NAV

3.1. Valuation of the property interests of the Trust Group

The valuation of the Trust Group's property interests (the "Property Valuation") as at 30 June 2020 was conducted by C&W, which is set out in the property valuation report (the "Property Valuation Report") contained in Appendix VIII to the Scheme Document.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We have interviewed C&W and reviewed the Property Valuation Report with particular attention to: (i) enquire its experience and qualifications in conducting property valuation in the People's Republic of China; (ii) its independence to the Offeror and the Trust Group; and (iii) the valuation methodologies, bases and assumptions adopted in the Property Valuation. After our review of the terms of engagement of C&W, we are satisfied that its scope of work is appropriate to perform the Property Valuation and we are not aware of any limitation on its scope of work which might have an adverse impact on the results of the Valuation. We noted that C&W has current and past engagements with the Offeror to provide valuation services for accounting purposes. We further noted that C&W has been engaged by the Trust Group to provide valuation services for annual reporting purposes since the Listing Date (i.e. 2 July 2014). Pursuant to the relevant requirements set out in the HKIS Valuation Standards 2017 published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, C&W confirmed that it has resolved the relevant independence issue to conduct the Property Valuation as consent has been obtained from the Offeror in accordance with the relevant requirements set out in the HKIS Valuation Standards 2017. We further understood that C&W is certified with the relevant professional qualifications required to perform the Property Valuation and the person-in-charge of the Property Valuation has more than 27 years of experience in carrying out property valuations. As represented by C&W, it has assumed the information provided by the Management in relation to the Property Valuation to be true, accurate and complete and it has accepted it without verification. We also understood that C&W has performed site visits to each of the properties listed out in the Property Valuation Report. In view of the above, we are not aware of any matters that would cause us to have doubts on the expertise and independence of C&W.

According to the Property Valuation Report, the total market value of the property interests in existing state attributable to the Trust Group as at 30 June 2020 (the "Total Market Value") was approximately RMB24.7 billion. Details of the Property Valuation in the Property Valuation Report are summarized below:

As stated in the Property Valuation Report, the Property Valuation is conducted in compliance with the standards and guidelines set out in: (i) the HKIS Valuation Standards 2017 published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors; (ii) Rule 11 of the Takeovers Code; and (iii) Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Listing Rules. We have discussed with C&W the methodologies and assumptions used in arriving at the market valuations of the properties being valued. C&W adopted the Income Capitalization Method, Discounted Cash Flow Method and Direct Comparison Method (as defined below) as the valuation methodologies for the Property Valuation.

The aggregate market value of Group I properties represented approximately 0.6% of the Total Market Value which were two dormitory properties. The two dormitory properties were staff dormitory building located in Sanya, Hainan Province and Lijiang, Yunnan Province which were mainly valued by using direct comparison method (the "Direct Comparison Method"). This method assumes sale of each of these properties in its existing state with the benefit of vacant possession by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market and taking into account relevant adjustments including but not limited to location, building age, building quality and property size. As advised by C&W, they are of the view that although Group I properties are currently used as staff dormitory by the Group, these properties can be leased out as well. As such, there will be a hypothetical rental income by making reference to comparable rent. It is noted that the appraised values obtained from Direct Comparison Method were cross-checked with the appraised values by adopting income capitalization method (the "Income Capitalization Method") on the basis of capitalization of net rental income derived from the existing tenancies with due allowance for reversionary income potential of the property or by reference to comparable market transactions and no notable discrepancy was noted.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The aggregate market value of Group II properties represented approximately 38.0% of the Total Market Value which comprised of: (i) the commercial and office portions of Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai, the market value of which represented approximately 37.6% of the Total Market Value; and (ii) the single-storey retail building of Renaissance Beijing Wangfujing Hotel in Beijing, the market value of which represented approximately 0.4% of the Total Market Value. The Group II properties were valued by Income Capitalization Method on the basis of capitalization of net rental income derived from the existing tenancies with due allowance for reversionary income potential of the property or by reference to comparable market transactions. The relevant adjustments of the occupancy rates and the level of floors for the commercial and office portions of Jin Mao Tower were considered by C&W for valuing Group II properties.

The aggregate market value of Group III properties represented approximately 61.4% of the Total Market Value which comprised of nine hotel properties located in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Sanya, Lijiang and Xian. The Group III properties, as they are properties used in business operation, were valued by using the discounted cash flow method (the "Discounted Cash Flow Method") which involves discounting future net cash of each hotel property until the end of the unexpired land use term to its present value by using an appropriate discount rate that reflects the rate of return required by a third party investor for an investment of this type. It is noted that C&W prepared a 10-year cash flow forecast with reference to: (i) the historical operating data including the occupancy rate and the average daily rate from January to April 2020; (ii) the current market condition; (iii) the anticipated market condition upon the recovery of the tourism and hospitality industry from the impact of the Pandemic; and (iv) the anticipated inflation rate.

We have reviewed and discussed the Property Valuation with C&W in respect of the valuation methodologies, bases and assumptions adopted in arriving at the value of the property interests. In particular, we have enquired C&W about the method of selecting relevant valuation methodologies for different types of properties used in the Property Valuation and assessed, cross-checked with industry data and discussed the bases and assumptions adopted for each type of properties in the Property Valuation. We understood that C&W considered the aforementioned valuation methodologies to be appropriate and relevant for each type of property (i.e. hotel, commercial retail, office and dormitory properties). In view of the above and the fact that the Property Valuation is conducted in accordance with the aforesaid standards and guidelines, we consider that the methodologies, bases and assumptions adopted by C&W in the Property Valuation to be reasonable and appropriate.

3.2. Reassessed NAV

The unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Trust Group for HY2020 are disclosed in the 2020 Interim Results. The unaudited NAV attributable to the Holders of Share Stapled Units as at 30 June 2020 were approximately RMB4,840.1 million.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

It is noted that some of the property interests of the Trust Group (i.e. hotel properties) were stated at cost basis in accordance with the relevant Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards as PPE. We consider the total appraised value of the properties in the Property Valuation attributable to the Holders of Share Stapled Units to be more appropriate to assess the net asset backing of the Trust Group. To further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Cancellation Price, we have reviewed the calculations of the Reassessed NAV (as defined below) per Share Stapled Unit based on the unaudited NAV attributable to the Holders of Share Stapled Units as at 30 June 2020 and the relevant adjustments, which include the revaluation surplus arising from the Property Valuation, net of estimated deferred tax, as set out below:

For those investment properties held by the Trust Group (which included the self-use portions of Jin Mao Tower), their market value as at 30 June 2020 amounted to approximately RMB9,376.8 million was at par with their corresponding total book value attributable to the Holders of Share Stapled Units as these investment properties were stated at fair value as at 30 June 2020.
  2. Represents estimated deferred tax (the "Estimated Deferred Tax") on the temporary differences between the market values of the property interests and the corresponding tax base used in computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax is calculated at tax rate of 25% for the People's Republic of China corporate income tax. As advised by the Management, no land appreciation tax was estimated for the Trust Group under the relevant People's Republic of China tax laws and regulations in view of the nature of the principal business activities of the Trust Group (i.e. hotel ownership and investment and property investment) and the way in which the transfers of such property assets are normally structured and transacted.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As shown above, the Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 represented a discount of approximately 21.4% to the Reassessed NAV per Share Stapled Unit of approximately HK$6.11. We have reviewed the computation of the Reassessed NAV prepared by the Management and discussed with the Management in respect of the computation in respect of the Revaluation Surplus and the Estimated Deferred Tax. We therefore consider that the calculation of the Reassessed NAV per Share Stapled Unit to be appropriate. Further analysis in this regard is set out in the sub-section headed "5. Evaluation of the Cancellation Price - 5.4. Privatization Comparables" below.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Notes:

  1. Based on the number of total issued Share Stapled Units as at each month end or the Latest Practicable Date.
  2. Based on the number of Share Stapled Units held by the public as at each month end or the Latest Practicable Date.

As illustrated above, the average daily trading volume of the Share Stapled Units during the above period represented approximately 0.001% to 0.140% of the total issued Share Stapled Units and approximately 0.003% to 0.421% of the issued Share Stapled Units held by the public. We consider that the relatively high daily trading volume from March 2020 to May 2020 might have been attributable to the announcement of annual results for FY2019 on 24 March 2020. Since the publication of the Announcement, there has been heightened trading activities of the Share Stapled Units, reflecting the initial market reactions to the Proposal.

As illustrated in the above table, the trading of the Share Stapled Units was not active. Given the thin liquidity of the Share Stapled Units, it may be difficult for the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units to dispose of a significant number of Share Stapled Units in the open market without exerting downward pressure on the prices of the Share Stapled Units. The Proposal represents an opportunity for the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units to exit their investments at a fixed Cancellation Price which is at substantial premium over the prevailing market prices of the Share Stapled Units.

5. Evaluation of the Cancellation Price

As set out in the Letter from the Boards, the Cancellation Price has been determined on an arm's length basis after taking into account the financial information of the Group including the financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2019, the Offeror's review of the Group's business and its future prospects, the prices of the Share Stapled Units traded on the Stock Exchange and other privatization transactions in Hong Kong in recent years. We have in turn assessed the Cancellation Price by way of the following.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As shown in Chart 1 above, the Share Stapled Units traded below the Cancellation Price since July 2018 and in fact most of the times during the Review Period. Out of the 1,510 trading days in the Review Period, the Share Stapled Units traded below the Cancellation Price in 1,048 of these trading days. Chart 2 above illustrates the performance of the Share Stapled Units compared to that of the HS REIT Index. The performance of the Share Stapled Units generally lagged behind the HS REIT Index since the beginning of the Review Period.

The closing prices of the Share Stapled Unit on the Listing Date (i.e. 2 July 2014), being the beginning of the period reviewed, and the Last Trading Day were HK$5.35 and HK$3.68, respectively. During the period from the Listing Date to 7 July 2015, the Share Stapled Units traded between HK$5.10 and HK$5.97 per Share. Subsequent to the announcement of the profit warning of interim results for HY2015 published on 30 July 2015, the Share Stapled Unit price declined and further reached a low of HK$3.64 on 12 February 2016. The closing prices of the Share Stapled Units fluctuated between HK$3.70 and HK$5.02 during the period from 13 February 2016 to 26 October 2017, generally in line with the trend of the HS REIT Index. After the announcements of increase in holding of Share Stapled Units by the Offeror on 27 October 2017 and 9 November 2017, the Share Stapled Unit price reached a high of HK$5.32 on 16 January 2018. Throughout the period from 17 January 2018 to 23 January 2020, the closing prices of the Share Stapled Units were in the range of approximately HK$3.89 and HK$5.25. Shortly after the outbreak of COVID-19 in China in late January as discussed in the sub-section headed "1. Business and financial information of Jinmao Hotel and the Company - 1.3. Outlook of the Trust Group" above, the Share Stapled Unit price decreased drastically to HK$2.17 on 19 March 2020, being the lowest price at all times during the Review Period.

From the Listing Date to the Last Trading Day (the "Pre-AnnouncementPeriod"), the highest closing price of the Share Stapled Units was HK$5.97 on 24 November 2014 (more than five years ago), which represented a premium of approximately 24.4% over the Cancellation Price. The lowest closing price of the Share Stapled Units during the Pre-Announcement Period was HK$2.17 on 19 March 2020, the Cancellation Price represents an attractive premium of approximately 121.2% over such price.

The Share Stapled Unit price closed at HK$3.68 on the Last Trading Day and surged by approximately 29.6% to HK$4.77 on 15 June 2020, being the first trading day following the Announcement. From 15 June 2020 to the Latest Practicable Date, the Share Stapled Units traded between HK$4.62 and HK$4.77 with an average of HK$4.65. The Share Stapled Units closed at HK$4.62 as at the Latest Practicable Date.

- 79 -

PART VI

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We are of the view that the aforesaid surge in Share Stapled Unit prices was driven by the announcement of the Proposal, in particular, the Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 per Scheme Share Stapled Unit. The Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units should note that the Share Stapled Units traded substantially below the Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 since the outbreak of the Pandemic and the prevailing Share Stapled Unit prices may not be sustained if the Scheme is not approved or the Proposal otherwise lapses.

The Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 per Scheme Share Stapled Unit cancelled and extinguished represents:

  • a premium of approximately 30.4% over the closing price of HK$3.68 per Share Stapled Unit as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 57.9% over the average closing price of approximately HK$3.04 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 72.7% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.78 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 82.5% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.63 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 30 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 86.8% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.57 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 60 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 64.4% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.92 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 57.4% over the audited NAV of the Company per Share Stapled Unit of approximately HK$3.05 as of 31 December 2019 (based on the exchange rate of HK$1: RMB0.89578, the central parity rate published by the PBOC on its website as of 31 December 2019 for illustration purposes);

  • a premium of approximately 81.1% over the unaudited NAV of the Company per Share Stapled Unit of approximately HK$2.65 as of 30 June 2020 (based on the exchange rate of HK$1: RMB0.91344, the central parity rate published by the PBOC on its website as of 30 June 2020 for illustration purposes);
  • a discount of approximately 21.4% to the Reassessed NAV per Share Stapled Unit of approximately HK$6.11 as of 30 June 2020 (based on the exchange rate of HK$1: RMB0.91344, the central parity rate published by the PBOC on its website as of 30 June 2020 for illustration purposes) based on the total number of issued Share Stapled Units as at the Latest Practicable Date; and
  • a premium of approximately 3.9% over the closing price of HK$4.62 per Share Stapled Unit as quoted on the Stock Exchange as at the Latest Practicable Date.

5.2. Comparable Companies

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Cancellation Price, we have, on

a best effort basis, identified a list of companies/REITs and stapled securities ("SS") listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange which (i) are major hotel groups with market capitalization of above HK$2 billion on the Last Trading Day. (ii) generated at least 60% of total revenue from hotel-related business segment(s) in their respective latest full financial years. In determining the criteria, we consider that (i) the Trust Group is a sizable hotel group with market capitalization of HK$7.36 billion on the Last Trading Day which shall be matched with Hong Kong listed companies with a comparable size of market capitalization; and (ii) The Trust Group generated approximately 71.4% of total revenue from hotel-related business segment for FY2019, so we expect that the comparable companies should be those with at least similar portion of the total revenue generated from such market segment. Based on the above criteria and through Bloomberg, we have identified what we considered to be an exhaustive list of 11 companies (the "Comparable Companies"). We consider the Comparable Companies to be a fair and representative sample of the Trust Group for comparison purpose as they are all sizable hoteliers similar to the Trust Group.

The table below illustrates (i) the price-to-earnings ("P/E") multiples; and (ii) the price-to-book ("P/B") multiples, of the Comparable Companies based on their respective earnings or NAV per share/share stapled unit as derived from their respective latest published financial statements and the closing share/share stapled unit prices of the Comparable Companies on the Last Trading Day. We consider the use of P/E and P/B multiples to be appropriate valuation multiples for the following analysis as (i) they are commonly used valuation multiples used by independent financial advisers to evaluate property companies; (ii) based on our observation of the past transactions conducted by the Comparable Companies, P/E and P/B multiples have been adopted by boards of the Comparable Companies in evaluating fairness of the relevant transactions; and (iii) based on our experience and professional judgement, we are unable to identify other better alternative valuation multiples.

  2. Based on the Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 per Scheme Share Stapled Unit and the NAV of the Trust Group per Share Stapled Unit of RMB2.73 as at 31 December 2019 (equivalent to approximately HK$3.05 based on the exchange rate of HK$1: RMB0.89578 for illustrative purpose).

As set out in the table above, the P/E multiples of the Comparable Companies range from approximately 6.01 times to 50.10 times, with a mean of approximately 19.69 times and a median of approximately 15.46 times. The implied P/E multiple of Jinmao Hotel and the Company at the Cancellation Price of 35.04 times is within the range of and significantly higher than the average and median of the P/E multiples of the Comparable Companies.

5.3. Dividend yield

Based on the first interim dividend of HK$0.1660 per Share Stapled Unit and the final dividend of HK$0.1543 per Share Stapled Unit for FY2019, the dividend yields as implied by the closing price of the Share Stapled Units on the Last Trading Day of HK$3.68 per Share Stapled Unit and the Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 per Scheme Share Stapled Unit were approximately 8.7% and 6.7%, respectively. We have compared the above dividend yields to those of the Comparable Companies and the HS REIT Index, on the Last Trading Day, as illustrated below:

Note: The above dividend yields are calculated based on the total dividends per share/Share Stapled Units in the preceding twelve months (excluding any special dividend) and the closing share prices of the Comparable Companies on the Last Trading Day.

As shown above, the dividend yields of the Comparable Companies ranged from approximately 1.1% to approximately 9.9%, with an average and median of approximately 4.1% and 3.4%, respectively, and the dividend yield of HS REIT Index was approximately 6.4%. The dividend yields of Jinmao Hotel and the Company as implied by the closing price on the Last Trading Day and the Cancellation Price were approximately 8.7% and 6.7%, respectively, which were within the range of the Comparable Companies and higher than that of HS REIT Index.

If the Scheme becomes effective and the Proposal is implemented, the Scheme Shareholders who place a high priority on dividend income would have the opportunity to re-invest the proceeds in similar companies that have higher historical dividend yields or REITs listed in Hong Kong which have higher dividend yields.

5.4. Privatization Comparables

We have reviewed precedent successful privatization proposals of property development and/or investment companies listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange for the past ten years prior to the Last Trading Day and up to and including the Latest Practicable Date. In view of the fact that: (i) the Trust Group is an asset-heavy property company which has the principal business activities mainly comprise hotel operations and property leasing that is largely reliant on the hotel properties and commercial properties to generate income; (ii) the Trust Group is in the kind of business that has "significant property interests" under Rule 11 of the Takeovers Code which a property valuation for its property interests are mandatorily required when the Proposal is to be conducted; (iii) to better evaluate the Cancellation Price, it would be best, based on past experience of successful cases of similar property companies' privatization precedents, to compare not only the premiums of the Cancellation Price over the prevailing market price averages relative to those of the similar property companies' privatization precedents, but also the discount of the Cancellation Price to the Reassessed NAV to those of the similar property companies' privatization precedents; and (iv) similar property companies, as we looked into the records, would mainly be those property development and/or investment companies with "significant property interests", which had been required to conduct a property valuation and had a reassessed/adjusted NAV

taken into account the revaluation surplus/deficit (as the case maybe). Given the above, we are of the view that property development and/or investment companies are the closest comparables to the Trust Group, for the purpose of this analysis.

We consider that the sample size is sufficient and the list of selected precedent privatization proposals (the "Privatization Comparables") is exhaustive and a fair representation of transactions comparable to the Proposal. As the Privatization Comparables are selected from a 10-year period of time, which is a period that has been extended to a reasonable length to obtain a sufficiently sized sample of Privatization Comparables, it should be noted that the Privatization Comparables were conducted under different market conditions and sentiment. The factors and considerations that affect the premiums or discounts of the cancellation prices in each of the Privatization Comparables vary on a case-by-case basis and may be different from those applicable to the Scheme.

The table below illustrates the premiums or discounts of the offer or cancellation prices offered by the corresponding offerors in each of the Privatization Comparables over or to: (i) the corresponding prevailing share prices prior to the issue of the relevant privatization announcements; and (ii) the Reassessed NAV per share of the corresponding company in each of the Privatization Comparables:

Therefore, the cancellation consideration of HK$1.80 per share has been used for the analysis.

PART VI

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As shown in the table above, we noted that all the offer/cancellation prices of the Privatization Comparables represented premiums over the corresponding: (i) closing prices on the last trading day prior to the date of initial announcement of privatization; and (ii) 5 days, 10 days, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days average closing prices prior to the date of initial announcement of privatization.

The premiums as represented by the offer/cancellation prices of the Privatization Comparables over:

  1. the closing prices on the last trading day prior to the date of initial announcement of privatization ranged from approximately 25.4% to 52.2% with an average of approximately 36.5%;
  2. the 5 days average closing prices prior to the date of initial announcement of privatization ranged from approximately 23.2% to 49.1% with an average of approximately 37.9%;
  3. the 10 days average closing prices prior to the date of initial announcement of privatization ranged from approximately 24.6% to 51.6% with an average of approximately 38.9%;
  4. the 30 days average closing prices prior to the date of initial announcement of privatization ranged from approximately 33.9% to 55.5% with an average of approximately 43.1%;
  5. the 60 days average closing prices prior to the date of initial announcement of privatization ranged from approximately 30.4% to 54.1% with an average of approximately 43.3%; and
  6. the 90 days average closing prices prior to the date of initial announcement of privatization ranged from approximately 32.7% to 53.8% with an average of approximately 43.5%.

While the premium of the Cancellation Price over the closing price of the Share on the Last Trading Day of approximately 30.4% was slightly below the average of that for the Privatization Comparables, the premiums of the Cancellation Price over the average closing prices of the Share Stapled Units for the period of 5 days, 10 days, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days prior to the Announcement Date were significantly higher than those for the Privatization Comparables.

- 87 -

PART VI

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We further noted that, except Goldin, the offer/cancellation prices of the Privatization Comparables represented a discount to the Reassessed NAV per share of the corresponding company which ranged from approximately 10.8% to 74.6%. Including the premium represented by the offer/cancellation price of Goldin, the average discount of the offer/cancellation price to the Reassessed NAV per share was approximately 22.5%. The Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 represented a discount of approximately 21.4% to the Reassessed NAV per Share Stapled Unit which is below the average discount for the Privatization Comparables. If the premium represented by the offer/cancellation price of Goldin is excluded from the Privatization Comparables, the average discount of the offer/cancellation price to the Reassessed NAV per share will further increase to approximately 31.0% (the "Discount Average") and the discount of the Cancellation Price to the Reassessed NAV per Share Stapled Unit of approximately 21.4% is significantly lower than the Discount Average. As such, we are of the view that the Cancellation Price is fair and reasonable.

OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION

In arriving at our recommendation in respect of the Proposal, we have considered the principal factors and reasons as discussed above and in particular the following (which should be read in conjunction with and interpreted in the full context of this letter):

  • The outbreak of the Pandemic at the beginning of 2020 has unprecedented challenge on the hospitality industry and the entire tourism industry in the People's Republic of China. The hotel and tourism businesses of the Trust Group were also significantly affected. As the road to recovery for the Chinese hospitality industry are subject to many factors, the operating performance and outlook of the Trust Group's hotel and tourism business in the short to medium term remain uncertain due to the Pandemic.
  • The Proposal represents an opportunity for the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units to realise their investments in Jinmao Hotel and the Company without facing the uncertainties of future distribution per Share Stapled Unit that would be affected, to a certain extent, by the future challenging operating performance while there was a decrease in both revenue and profit attributable to the Holders of Share Stapled Units for FY2019 and a downward trend of the full year distribution per Share Stapled Unit over the past five financial years. The hotel properties of the Trust Group in HY2020 were greatly impacted by the travel restrictions, social distancing measures and governmental actions in response to the Pandemic, the financial performance of the Trust Group for HY2020 deteriorated significantly and the Trust Group did not declare any interim distribution for HY2020.

PART VI

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

  • The Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 is fair and reasonable as: (i) the implied P/E multiple of Jinmao Hotel and the Company at the Cancellation Price of 35.04 times is (a) within the range of the P/E multiples of the Comparable Companies; and
    1. significantly higher than the average and median of those of the Comparable Companies of approximately 19.69 times and 15.46 times respectively; and (ii) the implied P/B multiple of Jinmao Hotel and the Company at the Cancellation Price of 1.57 times is (a) within the range of the P/B multiples of the Comparable Companies; and (b) also significantly higher than the average and median of those of the Comparable Companies of approximately 0.61 times and 0.34 times respectively.
  • The dividend yields of Jinmao Hotel and the Company as implied by the closing price on the Last Trading Day and the Cancellation Price were approximately 8.7% and 6.7%, respectively, which were within the range of the Comparable Companies ranged from approximately 1.1% to approximately 9.9% and higher than that of HS REIT Index of approximately 6.4%. As such, the Proposal provides an opportunity for the Scheme Shareholders who place a high priority on dividend income to re-invest the proceeds in similar companies that have higher historical dividend yields or REITs listed in Hong Kong which have higher dividend yields.
  • The Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 is fair and reasonable as it: (i) is higher than the highest closing price in the recent 18-month period of HK$4.73; (ii) represents a premium of approximately 30.4% over the closing price of the Share Stapled Units on the Last Trading Day; (iii) represents premiums of approximately 57.9%, 72.7%, 82.5%, 86.8% and 64.4% over the average closing prices of the Share Stapled Units for the 5, 10, 30, 60 and 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day, respectively; and (iv) represents an attractive premium of approximately 57.4% over the audited NAV of the Company per Share Stapled Unit of approximately HK$3.05 as of 31 December 2019 (based on the exchange rate of HK$1: RMB0.89578, the central parity rate published by the PBOC on its website as of 31 December 2019 for illustration purposes) although at a discount of 21.4% to the Reassessed NAV which nevertheless compared well against those of the Privatization Comparables with the average discount of approximately 22.5%.
  • The Proposal represents an opportunity for the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units to realize their investments in Jinmao Hotel and the Company for cash at a premium without suffering illiquidity discount in view of the relatively low liquidity level of the Share Stapled Units over a prolonged period of time, with an average daily trading volume of approximately 0.011% of the total issued Share Stapled Units as at the Last Trading Day since the Pre-Announcement Period.

PART VI

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Based on the above, we consider that the terms of the Scheme and the Proposal, including the Cancellation Price, to be fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Unitholders, Independent Ordinary Shareholders (voting through the Trustee-Manager), Independent Preference Shareholders and the Holders of Share Stapled Units are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to recommend:

  1. at the Unitholders Meeting, the Independent Unitholders to vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Proposal (including the Scheme);
  2. at the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder, the Independent Ordinary Shareholder (voting though the Trustee-Manager) to vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Scheme;
  3. at the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders, the Independent Preference Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to approve the Scheme; and
  4. at the EGM, the Holders of Share Stapled Units to vote in favour of a special resolution to approve and give effect to, among others, the reduction of the share capital of the Company by cancelling and extinguishing the Scheme Shares, the cancellation of the Scheme Units, and the withdrawal of listing of the Share Stapled Units upon the Proposal becoming effective.

The Share Stapled Units have been traded in the market below the Cancellation Price since 15 June 2020, being the first trading day after the Announcement, up to and including the Latest Practicable Date when they closed at HK$4.62. Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units should note that according to the Letter from the Boards, the Offeror will not increase the Cancellation Price and does not reserve the right to do so. The Offeror has been bound by this statement and will not be allowed to increase the Cancellation Price. Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units should note that if the Proposal and/or the Scheme is not approved or otherwise lapses, Jinmao Hotel and the Company will remain listed on the Stock Exchange. There are restrictions under Rule 31.1 of the Takeovers Code on making subsequent offers, to the effect that neither the Offeror nor any person who acted in concert with it in the course of the Proposal (nor any person who is subsequently acting in concert with any of them) may, within 12 months from the date on which the Proposal is not approved or otherwise lapses, announce an offer or possible offer for the Share Stapled Units, except with the consent of the Executive.

PART VI

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In this respect, we noted that unlike a general offer to acquire all or part of a listed company's shares, the Proposal regarding the possible privatization by the Offeror will be conducted by way of a scheme of arrangement under Section 86 of the Companies Law. The key difference will be that Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units will not have the opportunity to partially tender to the Offeror their Scheme Share Stapled Units. Rather, if the Proposal Conditions are fulfilled or waived (as applicable), the Proposal will be binding on the Offeror, Jinmao Hotel, the Company and all Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units. As such, all Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units (irrespective of whether or not they attended or voted at the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meetings or the EGM) will be compelled to accept the Cancellation Price for their entire Scheme Share Stapled Units holding interests. Vice versa, if the Proposal is not approved, the Proposal will not be effective and all Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units will retain all their existing Scheme Share Stapled Units holding interests, and without the possibility of receiving another offer from the Offeror for a period of 12 months from the date on which the Scheme is not approved or the Proposal otherwise lapses. Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units should note that the Share Stapled Units traded substantially below the Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 since the outbreak of the Pandemic and the prevailing Share Stapled Unit prices may not be sustained if the Proposal and/or the Scheme is not approved or otherwise lapses.

Yours faithfully,

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This Explanatory Statement constitutes

the statement required under Order 102,

rule 20(4)(e) of the Rules of the Grant Court of the Cayman Islands 1995 (revised).

A SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT

(UNDER SECTION 86 OF THE COMPANIES LAW OF THE CAYMAN ISLANDS)

TO CANCEL AND EXTINGUISH ALL THE SCHEME SHARES

1. INTRODUCTION

The Offeror, the Company and Jinmao Hotel jointly announced that on 7 June 2020, the Offeror requested the Boards to put forward the Proposal for the privatization of Jinmao Hotel and the Company, which, if approved and implemented, would involve (i) the cancellation and extinguishment of the Ordinary Shares, Preference Shares and Units comprising the Scheme Share Stapled Units; and (ii) the withdrawal of the listing of Share Stapled Units on the Stock Exchange. The Cancellation Price will be paid by the Offeror to the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units. The Proposal will be carried out by way of (i) a scheme of arrangement under Section 86 of the Companies Law in relation to the Scheme Shares, and (ii) Clause 34.2 of the Trust Deed in relation to the Scheme Units. The purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to set out the terms and effects of the Proposal and to give the Scheme Shareholders other relevant information in relation to the Proposal, in particular, to provide the intentions of the Offeror with regard to Jinmao Hotel and the Company and the holding structure of the Share Stapled Units before and after the Proposal becoming effective.

Particular attention is drawn to (a) a letter from the Boards set out in Part IV of this Scheme Document; (b) a letter of recommendation from the Independent Board Committee set out in Part V of this Scheme Document; (c) a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser set out in Part VI of this Scheme Document; and (d) the Scheme of Arrangement set out in Appendix III to this Scheme Document.

2. THE PROPOSAL

Each Share Stapled Unit comprises three components: (i) a Unit, (ii) a beneficial interest in a specifically identified Ordinary Share held by the Trustee-Manager (as trustee-manager of Jinmao Hotel), which is linked to the Unit, and (iii) a specifically identified Preference Share which is stapled to the Unit. Under the Trust Deed and the Articles of Association, the number of Ordinary Shares and Preference Shares in issue must be the same at all times and must also, in each case, be equal to the number of the Units in issue.

Upon the Proposal becoming effective, (i) the Scheme Shares will be cancelled and extinguished pursuant to the Scheme, and (ii) simultaneous with the implementation of the Scheme, on the Effective Date the Scheme Units will also be cancelled in accordance with the Trust Deed.

- 92 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The share capital of the Company will, on the Effective Date, be reduced by cancelling and extinguishing the Scheme Shares. Please refer to the paragraph headed "5. Holding Structure of the Share Stapled Units" below for further details regarding the holding structure of the Share Stapled Units upon completion of the Proposal.

The total consideration payable to the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units for the cancellation and extinguishment of the Scheme Share Stapled Units will be paid by the Offeror. The Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 per Scheme Share Stapled Unit cancelled and extinguished represents:

  • a premium of approximately 30.4% over the closing price of HK$3.68 per Share Stapled Unit as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 57.9% over the average closing price of approximately HK$3.04 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 72.7% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.78 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 82.5% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.63 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 30 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 86.8% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.57 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 60 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 64.4% over the average closing price of approximately HK$2.92 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 57.4% over the audited net assets of the Company per Share Stapled Unit of approximately HK$3.05 as of 31 December 2019 (based on the exchange rate of HK$1: RMB0.89578, the central parity rate published by the People's Bank of China on its website as of 31 December 2019 for illustration purposes);
  • a premium of approximately 3.9% over the closing price of approximately HK$4.62 per Share Stapled Unit based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

- 93 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  • a premium of approximately 81.1% over the unaudited net assets of the Company per Share Stapled Unit of approximately HK$2.65 as of 30 June 2020 (based on the exchange rate of HK$1: RMB0.91344, the central parity rate published by the People's Bank of China on its website as of 30 June 2020 for illustration purposes); and
  • a discount of approximately 21.4% to the Reassessed NAV per Share Stapled Unit of approximately HK$6.11 as at 30 June 2020 based on the total number of issued Share Stapled Units as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Having considered the comparable companies (the "Privatization Comparables"), that conducted privatization in the market as detailed in "5. Evaluation of the Cancellation Price -

5.4 Privatization Comparables" in Part VI Letter from the Independent Financial Adviser, the Boards noted that the cancellation prices of these Privatization Comparables represented an average discount to the reassessed/adjusted net asset value per share of approximately 22.5%. Furthermore, it was noted that while the premium of the Cancellation Price over the closing price of the Share Stapled Unit on the Last Trading Day of approximately 30.4% was slightly below the average of that for the Privatization Comparables, the premiums of the Cancellation Price over the average closing prices of the Share Stapled Unit for the period of 5 days, 10 days, 30 days, 60 days and 90 days prior to the Announcement Date were significantly higher than those of the Privatization Comparables. Accordingly, the Directors consider that the Cancellation Price to be an attractive opportunity for the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Unit to realise their investments as the discount of the Cancellation Price to the Reassessed NAV per Share Stapled Unit of approximately 21.4% is in line with market practice and is lower than the average discount of these Privatization Comparables.

Highest and lowest prices of the Share Stapled Units

During the 18-month period ended on and including the Last Trading Day, the highest closing price of the Share Stapled Units as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$4.73 on 16 April 2019 and the lowest closing price of the Share Stapled Units as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$2.17 on 19 March 2020.

As disclosed in the Announcement, the Offeror will not increase the Cancellation Price and does not reserve the right to do so. Holders of Share Stapled Units and potential investors of Share Stapled Units should be aware that, following the making of this statement, the Offeror has been bound by this statement and will not be allowed to increase the Cancellation Price.

The Cancellation Price has been determined on an arm's length basis after taking into account the financial information of the Group including the financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2019, the Offeror' s review of the Group' s business and its future prospects, the prices of the Share Stapled Units traded on the Stock Exchange and other privatization transactions in Hong Kong in recent years.

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Implementation of the Proposal

As the Scheme is only between the Company and the Scheme Shareholders under the Companies Law, not the Unitholders with respect to Jinmao Hotel, the Court Meetings will only be meetings of the Scheme Shareholders. To comply with the meeting requirements of the Trust Deed and the Articles of Association, a separate Unitholders Meeting will be required to be held immediately before the Court Meeting of holders of Scheme Ordinary Shares to enable Unitholders (other than the Offeror) (i.e. holders of Scheme Units) to pass a resolution instructing the Trustee Manager, as holder of the Scheme Ordinary Shares, on how to vote at the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder. A subsequent Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders will then be held, at which the votes cast by the holders of the Scheme Preference Shares shall be deemed to have cast in the same way as per their votes at the Unitholders Meeting.

Immediately following the Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meetings, the EGM will be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving, among others, a special resolution to approve and give effect to (i) the reduction of the share capital of the Company by cancelling and extinguishing the Scheme Shares; (ii) the cancellation of the Scheme Units; and (iii) the withdrawal of listing of the Share Stapled Units on the Stock Exchange upon the Proposal becoming effective.

The specific requirements regarding voting of Share Stapled Units are contained in the Trust Deed and the Articles of Association, both of which are available on the website of the Company (http://www.jinmao88.com/en/index.php). Given these requirements, and subject to the order of the Grand Court in respect of the Court Meetings:

  1. a Unitholder (other than the Offeror) shall be entitled to cast a vote in respect of his Unit at the Unitholders Meeting;
  2. the Trustee-Manager (as the sole legal owner of the Scheme Ordinary Shares) will exercise its voting rights of the Scheme Ordinary Shares at the relevant Court Meeting as instructed by the votes cast by the Scheme Units to which the Scheme Ordinary Shares are linked at the Unitholders Meeting; and
  3. the votes cast by the holders of the Scheme Preference Shares/Independent Preference Shareholders at the relevant Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders must be cast in the same way as per their votes in the Unitholders Meeting.

In respect of the EGM, a Holder of Share Stapled Unit shall cast a single vote in respect of that Share Stapled Unit for each resolution to be considered at the EGM.

Please also refer to the paragraph headed "14. Meeting requirements, voting rights and requirements, forms of proxy and voting paper requirements, and effect of the Scheme of Arrangement under the Trust Deed" in this section of the Scheme Document.

The Trustee-Manager is bound to act according to the terms of the Trust Deed including to, among other matters, exercise its voting rights of the Ordinary Shares in accordance with the votes conferred by the Units to which the Ordinary Shares are linked in the Unitholders Meeting and are bound by a scheme of arrangement proposed by the Company and approved by the Scheme Ordinary Shareholder and Scheme Preference Shareholders in accordance with the Companies Law. Further details of the voting arrangements between the holders of Share Stapled Units and the Trustee-Manager are set out the section headed "14. Meeting requirements, voting rights and requirements, forms of proxy and voting paper requirements, and effect of Scheme of Arrangement under the Trust Deed" in this part.

Under the Existing Banking Facilities, the Company's obligation of mandatory prepayment or right to accelerate repayment will be triggered if the listing of Share Stapled Units is withdrawn from the Stock Exchange. The Company is seeking consents and/or waivers from these lending banks so that the Existing Banking Facilities can continue after the listing of Share Stapled Unit is withdrawn. As at the Latest Practicable Date, save for two banks, the Company has obtained verbal consent from all the banks. The Company is still negotiating with the aforesaid two banks. Barring from any unforeseen circumstances, the Company and Directors did not anticipate any difficulties in obtaining such written consent from all banks on or before end of August 2020. The Offeror reserves the right to waive such condition.

The Offeror is not a party to any agreements or arrangements which relate to circumstances in which it may or may not invoke or seek to invoke any of the Proposal Conditions.

Jinmao Hotel and the Company did not have any warrants, options, derivatives, convertible securities or other securities in issue which are convertible into Share Stapled Units as at the Latest Practicable Date.

6. OFFEROR'S INTENTION REGARDING JINMAO HOTEL AND THE COMPANY

Jinmao Hotel is a fixed single investment trust with an initial focus on the hospitality industry in the PRC. The Group primarily owns and invests in a portfolio of hotels with diversified revenue sources and customer mix from a portfolio of high quality hotels and commercial properties, comprising eight hotels and Jin Mao Tower, a mixed-use development. The properties are all located in prime, strategic locations in top-tier cities or tourist hot spots in the PRC.

Following implementation of the Proposal, the Offeror intends that the Group should continue carrying on its current business and does not intend to make any major changes to the current operations or to discontinue the employment of employees of the Group. The Offeror will continue to monitor the Group's performance and implement appropriate strategies for the Group and its business in light of the challenging environment for hospitality industry in the PRC.

7. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSAL

Facilitate long-term growth

The Group is principally an asset owner of hotels and commercial properties in the PRC. These businesses currently face acute challenges arising from the global outbreak of COVID-19. The travel restrictions, quarantine measures and suspension of work imposed by many countries around the world have severely impacted the tourism and leasing industry. Although the Group has taken certain measures in response, its financial and trading prospects continue to be susceptible to the global fallout.

- 104 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Despite the ongoing challenges, the Offeror remains committed to the Group's long-term prospects. The Offeror intends to implement the necessary transformations to the Group's property portfolio to steer through this difficult period, of which the Offeror will perform a comprehensive optimization and integration over all of its hotels (including those owned by the Group). Such centralized management is key to cost optimization and efficiency improvement, and is conducive to the unification of the personnel assessment and incentive mechanism. It is expected that such optimization and integration will improve the overall competitiveness of the hotels. For avoidance of doubt, the Group will still focus on hotel operation and management, and there will not be major changes to the current operation of the Group. There is no assurance on the success of the transformation and there could be adverse results to the Group's financial performance in the short to medium term, which may in turn affect the Group's ability to pay distribution in the future. The long term objectives are (i) to transform the Group into an internationally renowned and China's first-class hotel investor and operator; (ii) to stay committed to the ideology of "Innovation, Consolidation and Cooperation" (創新、整合、協 作) in order to build the brand value and affiliated organisations; and (iii) to build the brand value and create a mutually beneficial platform for the benefit of the Group and the community as a whole through providing sustainable products, services and continuous policy innovation. The Proposal, if implemented, will give the Offeror greater flexibility to undertake the required transformation and make strategic decisions that align with the Group's long-term objectives, free from the short-term profit expectation, the pressure of market expectations, share price fluctuations and compliance requirements associated with maintaining the listing status of Jinmao Hotel and the Company.

Low liquidity of the Share Stapled Units

The liquidity of the Share Stapled Units has been at a relatively low level over a prolonged period of time, with an average daily trading volume of 221,869 Share Stapled Units since the listing of the Share Stapled Units on the Stock Exchange on 2 July 2014 up to and including the Last Trading Day, representing approximately 0.011% of the total issued Share Stapled Units as at the Last Trading Day. Low trading liquidity of the Share Stapled Units renders it difficult for Holders of Share Stapled Units to execute substantial on-market disposals without adversely affecting the price of the Share Stapled Units. Further, the Directors (excluding members of the Independent Board Committee whose views are set out in Part V of this Scheme Document) believe that such low liquidity hinders the ability of Jinmao Hotel and the Company to raise funds from the public equity market, which no longer serves as a viable source of funding for developing the Group's business.

Attractive opportunity to realise investments

The Proposal is intended to provide the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units with an attractive opportunity to realise their investments in Jinmao Hotel and the Company for cash at a premium. The Cancellation Price of HK$4.80 is higher than the highest closing price in the recent 18-month period. The Cancellation Price represents a premium of approximately

  1. 30.4% over the closing price of the Share Stapled Units on the Last Trading Day; (ii) 57.9% over the average closing price of the Share Stapled Units for the 5 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; (iii) 72.7% over the average closing price of the Share Stapled Units for the 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; (iv) 82.5% over the average closing price of the Share Stapled Units for the 30 trading days up to and including

- 105 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

the Last Trading Day; (v) 86.8% over the average closing price of the Share Stapled Units for the 60 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day; and (vi) 64.4% over the average closing price of the Share Stapled Units for the 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day.

The Boards have declared final and interim distributions in each of the three years ended 31 December 2017, 2018 and 2019 but the Trustee-Manager and the Company does not expect to declare any dividend or distribution before the Effective Date.

8. INFORMATION ON THE OFFEROR

The Offeror is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability, the shares of which are listed on the main board of the Stock Exchange (stock code: 00817). It is a large-scale developer and operator of quality real estate projects in the PRC. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror is owned as to 33.32% by Sinochem Hong Kong (Group) Company Limited, which in turn is wholly owned by Sinochem Corporation, which in turn is wholly owned by Sinochem Group. The Offeror is the platform enterprise of Sinochem Group in the development of real estate business. It is principally engaged in city operations, property development, commercial leasing, retail operations, hotel operations and finance and services. Sinochem Group is wholly owned by the SASAC. Therefore, the ultimate controlling shareholder of the Offeror is the SASAC.

9. INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

An Independent Board Committee, comprising the following independent non-executive Directors, namely Dr. Chen Jieping, Dr. Xin Tao and Mr. Tse Yung Hoi, has been established by the Boards to make a recommendation to the Independent Unitholders, the Independent Ordinary Shareholders (voting through the Trustee-Manager), the Independent Preference Shareholders and the Holders of Share Stapled Units as to whether the terms of the Proposal and the Scheme are, or are not, fair and reasonable and as to voting in respect of the Scheme at the Court Meetings, and the Proposal at the Unitholders Meeting and the EGM.

Mr. Li Congrui, Mr. Zhang Hui and Mr. Jiang Nan, each being a non-executive Director, have abstained and will continue to abstain from voting at meetings of the Boards in relation to the Proposal given each of them has a material interest in the Proposal. Furthermore, as

  1. Mr. Li Congrui and Mr. Jiang Nan are executive Directors of the Offeror and Mr. Zhang Hui is a member of the senior management of the Offeror, and (ii) Mr. Li Congrui and Mr. Jiang Nan are also shareholders and option holders of the Offeror and Mr. Zhang Hui is an option holder of the Offeror, they are not considered to be independent for the purpose of making a recommendation to the Proposal and are therefore precluded from joining the Independent Board Committee.

Independent Unitholders, Independent Ordinary Shareholders (voting through the Trustee-Manager), Independent Preference Shareholders and Holders of Share Stapled Units are reminded to carefully read the Scheme Document, including letter from the Independent Board Committee, the letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee contained therein, before making a decision as to voting in respect of the Scheme at the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and the Proposal at the Unitholders Meeting and the EGM.

Upon the Proposal becoming effective, (i) all the Scheme Shares will be cancelled and extinguished pursuant to the Scheme; and (ii) the Scheme Units will be cancelled in accordance with the Trust Deed and pursuant to the relevant resolutions of the Holders of Share Stapled Units passed at the EGM.

A detailed timetable of the Proposal is included in this Scheme Document.

Jinmao Hotel and the Company will be privatized by way of a scheme of arrangement (under section 86 of the Companies Law) in compliance with the Takeovers Code, Rule 6.15(2) of the Listing Rules, the corresponding cancellation and reduction of the Scheme Units pursuant to Clause 34.2 of the Trust Deed and all the relevant requirements, and it is the intention of the Trustee-Manager (as trustee-manager of Jinmao Hotel) and the Company not to retain the listing of the Share Stapled Units of Jinmao Hotel and the Company on the Stock Exchange after the implementation of the Proposal.

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Holders of Share Stapled Units and potential investors of Share Stapled Units should exercise caution when dealing in the securities of Jinmao Hotel and the Company. If they are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor or other professional advisers.

13. OVERSEAS HOLDERS OF SCHEME SHARE STAPLED UNITS

This Scheme Document has been prepared for the purposes of complying with the laws of Hong Kong and the Cayman Islands, the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules and the information disclosed may not be the same as that which would have been disclosed if this Scheme Document had been prepared in accordance with the laws of any other jurisdictions.

This Scheme Document does not constitute an offer to buy or sell Share Stapled Units or the solicitation of an offer to buy or subscribe for the Share Stapled Units in any jurisdiction to any person to whom it is unlawful to make the offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction.

The making and implementation of the Proposal to Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units who are not resident in Hong Kong may be subject to the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which such Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units are located. Such Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal, tax or regulatory requirements. It is the responsibility of any overseas Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units wishing to take any action in relation to the Proposal to satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange control or other consents which may be required, or the compliance with other necessary formalities and the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes due from such holders in such jurisdiction.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 20 holders of Share Stapled Units whose addresses as shown in the Share Stapled Units Register (the "registered addresses") were outside Hong Kong and those holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units together held 37,004 Share Stapled Units (representing approximately 0.0019% of the total Share Stapled Units in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date). These 20 holders of Share Stapled Units included (i) one holder of Share Stapled Units in the United Kingdom holding 500 Share Stapled Units; (ii) two holders of Share Stapled Units in the Macao Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China holding 30,000 Share Stapled Units in aggregate; (iii) two holders of Share Stapled Units in the United States of America holding two Share Stapled Units in aggregate;

The directors of the Offeror and the Directors had been advised by the local counsel in the aforementioned jurisdictions that there is no restriction under the respective laws or regulations of those jurisdictions against extending the Scheme and the Proposal automatically or dispatching this Scheme Document to those overseas holders of Share Stapled Units. The Scheme and the Proposal will be extended and this Scheme Document will be despatched to those overseas holders of Share Stapled Units.

Any acceptance by such Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units will be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty from such persons to the Offeror, the Trustee-Manager (as trustee-manager of Jinmao Hotel) and the Company and their respective advisers that those laws and regulatory requirements have been complied with. If you are in doubt as to your position, you should consult your professional advisers.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

14. MEETING REQUIREMENTS, VOTING RIGHTS AND REQUIREMENTS, FORMS OF PROXY AND VOTING PAPER REQUIREMENTS, AND EFFECT OF SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT UNDER THE TRUST DEED

Meeting requirements

Pursuant to the provisions of the Trust Deed, the meetings of the Unitholders, Ordinary Shareholder and the Preference Shareholders are subject to the following requirements:

  1. Matters requiring approval by a resolution of the Unitholders under the Trust Deed must also be approved by an equivalent resolution of the Ordinary Shareholder and the Preference Shareholders. If a meeting of Unitholders is convened, a meeting of Ordinary Shareholder and a meeting of Preference Shareholders must also be convened and vice versa.
  2. To the extent permitted under relevant laws and regulations, meetings of Unitholders, Ordinary Shareholder and Preference Shareholders shall be held on a combined basis as a single meeting of Holders of Share Stapled Units.
  3. If that is not possible under the relevant laws and regulations to hold a combined meeting of Holders of Share Stapled Units, the meetings shall be held separately but consecutively, with the meeting of Unitholders being held immediately prior to the meetings of the Ordinary Shareholder and Preference Shareholders. This is to enable Unitholders, by exercising the voting rights conferred by the Units held by them, to give directions to the Trustee-Manager as to how to vote the specifically identified Ordinary Shares held by the Trustee-Manager which are linked to those Units, in respect of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the meeting of the Ordinary Shareholder.
  4. In relation to meetings of Unitholders, Ordinary Shareholder and Preference Shareholders that are held separately but consecutively, to the extent practicable, the same or a substantially similar resolution (with any modifications which are necessary or desirable to reflect the manner in which the matter being considered affects Jinmao Hotel or the Company differently) shall be proposed for consideration at each meeting.
  5. In relation to a meeting of Holders of Share Stapled Units, to the extent practicable, a single resolution shall be proposed to approve the matter to be considered by the Unitholders, Ordinary Shareholder and Preference Shareholders, which resolution shall be characterised as a resolution of the Holders of Share Stapled Units and shall serve as (i) a resolution of Unitholders; (ii) a resolution of Ordinary Shareholder; and (iii) a resolution of Preference Shareholders.

- 109 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

As the Scheme is only between the Company and the Scheme Shareholders under the Companies Law and does not relate to the Unitholders, the Court Meetings will only be meetings of the Scheme Shareholders. In view of the foregoing and to comply with the meeting requirements of the Trust Deed as set out above, a separate Unitholders Meeting will be required to be held immediately before the Court Meetings. The resolutions to be passed at the Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meetings will be substantially same, i.e. to consider, and if thought fit, approve the Scheme.

Immediately following the Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meetings, the EGM, being a combined meeting of Holders of Share Stapled Units, will be convened for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, approving, among others, a special resolution to approve and give effect to (i) the reduction of the share capital of the Company by cancelling and extinguishing the Scheme Shares; (ii) the cancellation of the Scheme Units; and (iii) the withdrawal of listing of the Share Stapled Units on the Stock Exchange upon the Proposal becoming effective.

Voting rights and requirements

Under the Trust Deed, a Holder of Share Stapled Units will be entitled to exercise the following voting rights conferred by the Share Stapled Unit:

  1. a vote of the Unit which is a component of the Share Stapled Unit, at meetings of Unitholders convened and held in accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed; and
  2. two votes at meetings of the Ordinary Shareholder and the Preference Shareholders convened and held in accordance with the provisions of the Articles of Association and the Trust Deed. Those votes are:
    1. a vote in respect of the Preference Share which is stapled to the Unit and registered in the name of the Holder of Share Stapled Unit in respect of any required resolution of the Preference Shareholders; and
    2. a vote in respect of the Ordinary Share which is linked to the Unit and registered in the name of the Trustee-Manager. The vote conferred by the Ordinary Share which is linked to the Unit is exercised by the Holder of Share Stapled Unit giving a direction to the Trustee-Manager to vote that Ordinary Share at meetings of the Ordinary Shareholder.

- 110 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

In relation to both meetings of Holders of Share Stapled Units and meetings of Unitholders, Ordinary Shareholder and Preference Shareholders to be held separately but consecutively, the Trust Deed provides that holder of a Share Stapled Unit shall cast a single vote in respect of that Share Stapled Unit, which shall serve as a vote in respect of both the Unit and the Preference Share constituting that Share Stapled Unit, either for or against in respect of (as the case may be):

  1. a resolution proposed at a meeting characterised as a meeting of Holders of Share Stapled Units; or
  2. a resolution of Unitholders, a resolution of Ordinary Shareholder and a resolution of Preference Shareholders, which deal with the same, or substantially the same, matter proposed at separate but consecutive meetings of Unitholders, Ordinary Shareholder and Preference Shareholders.

Holder of Share Stapled Units holding more than one Share Stapled Unit may vote some of the Share Stapled Units registered in his name in favour of a resolution proposed at a meeting of Holders of Share Stapled Units and some of them against the relevant resolution, provided that the provisions of the Trust Deed described in the foregoing paragraphs are complied with in respect of each individual Share Stapled Unit registered in his name.

Similarly, a holder of Share Stapled Units holding more than one Share Stapled Unit may vote some of the Share Stapled Units registered in his name in favour of both resolutions dealing with the same, or substantially the same, matter proposed at separate meetings of holders of Units, Ordinary Shares and Preference Shares held consecutively, and some of them against both those resolutions, provided that the provisions of the Trust Deed described in the foregoing paragraphs are complied with in respect of each individual Share Stapled Unit registered in his name.

In view of the foregoing requirements, in respect of the Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meetings:

  1. a Unitholder (other than the Offeror) shall be entitled to cast a vote in respect of his Unit at the Unitholders Meeting;
  2. the Trustee-Manager (as the sole legal owner of the Ordinary Shares) will exercise its voting rights of the Ordinary Shares in the relevant Court Meeting in accordance with the votes conferred by the Units to which the Ordinary Shares are linked in the Unitholders Meeting; and
  3. the votes casted by the holders of the Scheme Preference Shares/Independent Preference Shareholders at the relevant Court Meeting shall be deemed to have casted in the same way as per their votes in the Unitholders Meeting.

- 111 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

In respect of the EGM, a holder of Share Stapled Unit shall cast a single vote in respect of that Share Stapled Unit for each resolution to be considered at the EGM.

Unitholders Meeting and Court Meetings

In respect of meetings of Unitholders, Ordinary Shareholder and Preference Shareholders held separately but consecutively to consider the same, or substantially the same, resolution, the Trust Deed provides that the form of proxy and the form of voting paper provided for use in respect of the meeting of Unitholders shall, unless expressly stated otherwise in the relevant form, have the effect that the vote given in respect of Units either for or against a resolution shall also constitute an instruction to the Trustee-Manager to vote the same number of Ordinary Shares which are linked to the Units in the same way (either for or against) in respect of the resolution dealing with the same, or substantially the same, matter at the separate but consecutive meetings of Ordinary Shareholder and Preference Shareholders.

In relation to meetings of Holders of Share Stapled Units, the Trust Deed provides that the form of proxy to be provided to Holders of Share Stapled Units, and the form of voting paper, will, in each case, be a single, composite, form. Unless otherwise expressly stated in the form of proxy or the form of voting paper provided for use in respect of the meeting of Holders of Share Stapled Units, the effect of completing a form of proxy or voting paper (as the case may be) indicating a vote either for or against a resolution characterised in the form of proxy or voting paper as a resolution of Holders of Share Stapled Units to be proposed at a meeting of Holders of Share Stapled Units shall be that the vote given in respect of the Share Stapled Units in question shall constitute:

  1. a vote of the Units included in the Share Stapled Units, in respect of any required resolution of holders of Units;
  2. a vote of the Preference Shares stapled to those Units in respect of any required resolution of holders of Preference Shares; and
  3. an instruction to the Trustee-Manager to vote the number of Ordinary Shares linked to the relevant Units in the same way (either for or against) in respect of any required resolution of holders of Ordinary Shares.

In light of the above, the following arrangements will be in place for the forms of proxy and voting papers for the Meetings:

  1. Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders

The form of proxy and the form of voting paper provided for use in respect of these two meetings will be combined, and the form of voting paper will be completed and collected at the Unitholders Meeting.

- 112 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Such combined form of proxy and combined form of voting paper shall have the effect that the vote given in respect of Units either for or against a resolution shall also constitute the same number of vote given for the Preference Shares which are linked to the Units in the same way (either for or against) in respect of the resolution dealing with the same, or substantially the same, matter.

  1. Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder

The form of voting paper will only be made available to the Trustee-Manager (as the sole legal owner of the Scheme Ordinary Shares), who will exercise its voting rights of the Scheme Ordinary Shares in the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder in accordance with the votes conferred by the Scheme Units to which the Scheme Ordinary Shares are linked in the Unitholders Meeting.

  1. EGM

The form of proxy and the form of voting paper of the EGM to be provided to Holders of Share Stapled Units will, in each case, be a single, composite, form. The effect of completing a form of proxy or voting paper (as the case may be) indicating a vote either for or against a resolution characterised in the form of proxy or voting paper as a resolution of Holders of Share Stapled Units to be proposed at the EGM shall be that the vote given in respect of the Share Stapled Units in question shall constitute.

Effect of scheme of arrangement

Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Deed, where a scheme of arrangement proposed between the Company and the Ordinary Shareholders and the Preference Shareholders (a) has been approved by a majority in number representing 75% in value (or such other approval as may be required by the Companies Law from time to time) of the Ordinary Shareholder and Preference Shareholders and sanctioned by the Grand Court in accordance with the Companies Law and (b) has been approved by an extraordinary resolution of Unitholders (i.e. a majority in number representing 75% or more in value), subject to compliance with the provisions of the relevant laws and regulations and the Takeovers Code, such scheme of arrangement shall, upon delivery to the Registrar of Companies of a copy of the order sanctioning the same, be binding on all Unitholders, Ordinary Shareholders and Preference Shareholders (including the Holders of Share Stapled Units) and also on the Company and the relevant Scheme Ordinary Shares, Scheme Preference Shares and Scheme Units (as components of the Share Stapled Units) shall be transferred to the transferee, cancelled or otherwise dealt with (as the case may be) in accordance with the terms of such scheme of arrangement.

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

15. THE SCHEME SHARE STAPLED UNITS, THE UNITHOLDERS MEETING, THE COURT MEETINGS AND THE EGM

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror held an aggregate of 1,335,319,000 Share Stapled Units, representing approximately 66.77% of the total number of issued Share Stapled Units, which would not constitute Scheme Share Stapled Units and would not be cancelled and extinguished upon the Proposal becoming effective. The 350,000 Share Stapled Units held by Mr. Li Congrui, 771,000 Share Stapled Units held by Mr. Zhang Hui, and 484,500 Share Stapled Units held by Mr. Jiang Nan, will form part of the Scheme Share Stapled Units and will be cancelled and extinguished upon the Proposal becoming effective.

The Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties have undertaken to the Grand Court that they will be bound by the Scheme, so as to ensure that they will comply with and be subject to the terms and conditions of the Scheme.

Members of the DBS Group, being a party acting in concert with the Offeror, did not legally or beneficially own, control or have direction over any Share Stapled Units, save for the 24,250,000 Share Stapled Units (representing approximately 1.21% of the total Share Stapled Units in issue) held by DBS Bank on a proprietary basis, acting in the capacity of an exempt principal trader recognized by the Executive for the purposes of the Takeovers Code. Any Share Stapled Units held by DBS Bank on a proprietary basis in its capacity as an exempt principal trader (i.e., the 24,250,000 Share Stapled Units) shall not be entitled to vote as an Independent Unitholder at the Unitholders Meeting and as an Independent Ordinary Shareholder (through the Trustee-Manager) or as an Independent Preference Shareholder at the Court Meetings to approve the Proposal and the Scheme pursuant to Rule 35.4 of the Takeovers Code. For the avoidance of doubt, the underlying Scheme Units and Scheme Shares comprising Scheme Share Stapled Units held by any member of the DBS Group in the capacity of exempt principal trader for and on behalf of non-discretionary investment clients are also not entitled to be voted at the Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meetings in accordance with the directions of such non-discretionary investment clients unless the Takeovers Bulletin No. 53 Requirements are complied with.

All Holders of Share Stapled Units will be entitled to attend the EGM and vote on, among other things, a special resolution to approve and give effect to (a) the reduction of the share capital of the Company by cancelling and extinguishing the Scheme Shares; (b) the cancellation of the Scheme Units; and (c) the withdrawal of listing of the Share Stapled Units upon the Proposal becoming effective.

The Offeror has undertaken that if the Scheme is approved at the Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meetings, it will cast the votes in respect of those Share Stapled Units held by it in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the EGM.

16. COSTS OF THE SCHEME

If the Independent Board Committee or the Independent Financial Adviser does not recommend the Proposal, and the Scheme is not approved, all expenses incurred by Jinmao Hotel and the Company in connection therewith shall be borne by the Offeror in accordance with Rule 2.3 of the Takeovers Code.

- 116 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Since the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Financial Adviser have both recommended the Proposal, Jinmao Hotel, the Company and the Offeror have agreed that each party will bear their own costs, charges and expenses.

17. GENERAL

1. The Offeror confirmed that, as at the Latest Practicable Date:

  1. save as disclosed in paragraph headed "Holding Structure of the Share Stapled Units" in this section, none of the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties owned, controlled or had direction over any voting rights and rights over Share Stapled Units;
  2. there were no arrangements (whether by way of option, indemnity or otherwise) in relation to Share Stapled Units between the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties and any other person which might be material to the Proposal;
  3. save for the conditions disclosed in the paragraph headed "2. The Proposal - Proposal Conditions" above in this part, there was no agreement or arrangement to which the Offeror was a party which related to the circumstances in which it might or might not invoke or seek to invoke a pre-condition or a condition to the Proposal and/or the Scheme;
  4. there was no arrangement (whether by way of option, indemnity or otherwise) in relation to Share Stapled Units or the shares of the Offeror which might be material to the Proposal and/or the Scheme;
  5. none of the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties had borrowed or lent any Share Stapled Units or any other securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) of Jinmao Hotel or the Company;
  6. there are no options, warrants or convertible securities in respect of the Share Stapled Units held, controlled or directed by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties, or outstanding derivatives in respect of the Share Stapled Units entered into by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties;
  7. save for the Irrevocable Undertakings, no irrevocable commitment to vote for or against the Proposal had been received by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties;
  8. save for the Irrevocable Undertakings, there was no understanding, arrangement or agreement or special deal between (i) any Holders of Share Stapled Units and
    1. (a) the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties or (b) Jinmao Hotel, the Company, its subsidiaries or associated companies (including the Trustee-Manager); and

- 117 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

    1. save for the Cancellation Price, there was no other consideration, compensation or benefit in whatever form paid or to be paid by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties to the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units or their concert parties.
  1. Save for the proprietary dealing in the Share Stapled Units by members of the DBS Group as further detailed in "Appendix II - General Information of the Group and the Offeror
    - (3) Disclosure of Interests - (c) Dealings in the relevant securities of Jinmao Hotel and the Company", during the Relevant Period, none of the Offeror or the Offeror Concert Parties had dealt for value in any Share Stapled Units, convertible securities, warranties, options and derivatives in respect of the Share Stapled Units.
  2. The Trust Deed includes an Exchange Right for the benefit of the Registered Holders of Share Stapled Units. By passing an extraordinary resolution of the Registered Holders of Share Stapled Units, Registered Holders of Share Stapled Units may require that all (but not part only) of the Share Stapled Units in issue be exchanged on an one for one basis for the underlying Ordinary Shares held by the Trustee-Manager (as trustee-manager of Jinmao Hotel) that are linked to the Units being exchanged.
    If the Exchange Right is exercised, Jinmao Hotel and the Trust Deed would terminate, the

Units and Preference Shares would be exchanged with the Trustee-Manager (as trustee- manager of Jinmao Hotel) and cancelled pursuant to the exercise of the Exchange Right and the former Registered Holders of Share Stapled Units would become the holders of an equal number of listed Ordinary Shares. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Exchange Right had not been exercised by any Registered Holders of Share Stapled Units.

18. THE UNITHOLDERS MEETING, THE COURT MEETINGS AND THE EGM

The Scheme is only between the Company and the Scheme Shareholders under the Companies Law, not the Unitholders with respect to Jinmao Hotel. To comply with the meeting requirements of the Trust Deed and the Articles of Association, a separate Unitholders Meeting will be required to be held immediately before the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder to enable Unitholders (other than the Offeror) (i.e. holders of Scheme Units) to pass a resolution instructing the Trustee Manager, as holder of the Scheme Ordinary Shares, on how to vote at the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder.

In accordance with the direction of the Grand Court, the Court Meetings will be held for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the resolution to approve the Scheme (with or without modification(s)). The Trustee-Manager (as the sole legal owner of the Ordinary Shares) will exercise its voting rights of the Ordinary Shares at the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder in accordance with the votes conferred by the Units to which the Ordinary Shares are linked at the Unitholders Meeting. Following the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder, all holders of Scheme Preference Shareholders whose names appear on the Register of Members and Hong Kong Register of Members as at the Court Meeting Record Date will be entitled to attend and vote on the Scheme at the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders in person or by proxy.

- 118 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

In accordance with the direction from the Grand Court, for the purpose of calculating the "majority in number", HKSCC Nominees Limited, being the registered holder of Share Stapled Units in CCASS, shall be permitted to vote once only, either "for" or "against" the Scheme in accordance with instructions from individual CCASS Participants for the purposes of ascertaining whether or not the requirement that a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders approve the Scheme under section 86(2) of the Companies Law has been satisfied.

In relation to the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder, the Trustee Manager, as the holder of the legal title to the Ordinary Shares shall be permitted to vote once only, either "for" or "against" the Scheme in accordance with the votes cast at the Unitholders Meeting held immediately prior to the Court Meeting of Scheme Ordinary Shareholder for the purposes of ascertaining whether or not the requirement that a majority in number of the Scheme Ordinary Shareholder approve the Scheme under section 86(2) of the Companies Law has been satisfied. The Trustee Manager shall specify the value of the Scheme Ordinary Shares cast in favour of the Scheme and the number of Unitholders who have given instructions to vote in favour and the value of Scheme Ordinary Shares cast against the Scheme and the number of Unitholders who have given instructions to vote against and shall be treated as having voted in favour of and against the Scheme in the amount and for the value so specified for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the requirement that seventy-five per cent. in value of the Scheme Ordinary Shareholders approve the Scheme under section 86(2) of the Companies Law has been satisfied.

In relation to the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders, in accordance with the Companies Law, the "75% in value" requirement will be met if the total value of the Scheme Preference Shares being voted in favour of the Scheme is at least 75% of the total value of the Scheme Preference Shares voted at the Court Meetings of Scheme Preference Shareholders. In accordance with the Companies Law, the "majority in number" requirement will be met if the number of the holders of Scheme Preference Shares voting in favour of the Scheme exceeds the number of the holders of Scheme Preference Shares voting against the Scheme at the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders. For the purpose of calculating the "majority in number" requirement, the number of the holder of Scheme Preference Shares, present and voting in person or by proxy, will be counted.

The EGM will be held immediately following the Unitholders Meeting and the Court Meetings have been concluded or adjourned for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing resolutions to approve, among other things, a special resolution to approve and give effect to (i) the reduction of the share capital of the Company by cancelling and extinguishing the Scheme Shares; (ii) the cancellation of the Scheme Units; and (iii) the withdrawal of listing of the Share Stapled Units on the Stock Exchange upon the Proposal becoming effective. All Holders of Share Stapled Units whose names appear on the Share Stapled Units Register at the EGM Record Date will be entitled to attend and vote in person or by proxy on such resolutions at the EGM.

- 119 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

At the EGM, a poll will be taken and each Holder of Share Stapled Unit present and vote, either in person or by proxy, will be entered to vote all of his/her/its Share Stapled Units in favour of (or against) the special resolution. Alternatively, such Holder of Share Stapled Unit may vote some of their Share Stapled Units in favour of the special resolution and any or all of the balance of their Share Stapled Units against the special resolution (and vice versa).

At the relevant EGM, the special resolution will be put to the vote by way of poll as required under Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

  1. Mr. Li Congrui and Mr. Jiang Nan were also shareholders and option holders of the Offeror and Mr. Zhang Hui was an option holder of the Offeror, they were not considered to be independent for the purpose of making a recommendation to the Proposal and were therefore precluded from joining the Independent Board Committee.

21. REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT

Assuming that the Scheme Record Date falls on 28 September 2020, it is proposed that the Registers will be closed from 28 September 2020 (or such other date as the Holders of Share Stapled Units may be notified by way of an announcement) onwards in order to determine entitlements under the Scheme. In order to qualify for entitlements under the Scheme, Holders of Share Stapled Units should ensure that the transfers of their Share Stapled Units are lodged with the Share Stapled Units Registrar for registration in their names or in the names of their nominees before 4:30 p.m. on 25 September 2020. The Share Stapled Units Registrar is Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong.

Payment of the Cancellation Price to Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units

Upon the Proposal becoming effective, payment of the Cancellation Price for the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units will be made to the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units whose names appear on the Share Stapled Units Register as at the Scheme Record Time on the Scheme Record Date. On the basis that the Proposal becomes effective on or about 28 September 2020 (Cayman Islands time), cheques for payment of the Cancellation Price will be paid by the Offeror as soon as possible but in any event within 7 Business Days following the Proposal having become effective and accordingly, the cheques are expected to be despatched on or before 9 October 2020. Cheques will be sent by ordinary post in envelopes addressed to the persons entitled thereto at their respective registered addresses or, in the case of joint holders, to the registered address of that joint holder whose name stands first in the Share Stapled Units Register in respect of the joint holding. All such cheques will be sent at the risk of the person(s) entitled thereto and none of the Offeror, the Trustee-Manager, the Company, DBSAC and the Share Stapled Units Registrar, being Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, will be responsible for any loss or delay in despatch.

On or after the day being six calendar months after the posting of such cheques, the Offeror shall have the right to cause the cancellation of any cheque which has not been cashed or has been returned uncashed and place all monies represented by the cheque in a deposit or custodian account in the Offeror's name with a licensed bank in Hong Kong selected by the Offeror.

The Offeror shall hold such monies on trust for those entitled under the terms of the Scheme of Arrangement until the expiration of six years from the Effective Date and shall prior to such date pay out of such monies the sums payable pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement to persons who satisfy the Offeror that they are entitled thereto and such cheques of which they are payees have not been cashed. Any payments made by the Offeror shall not include any interest accrued on the sums to which the respective persons are entitled pursuant to this

- 121 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Scheme of Arrangement. The Offeror shall exercise its absolute discretion in determining whether or not it is satisfied that any person is so entitled and a certificate of the Offeror to the effect that any particular person is so entitled or not so entitled, as the case may be, shall be conclusive and binding upon all persons claiming an interest in the relevant monies.

On the expiry of six years from the Effective Date, the Offeror, the Trustee-Manager, Jinmao Hotel and the Company shall be released from any further obligation to make any payments under the Scheme and the Offeror shall be absolutely entitled to the balance (if any) of the sums then standing to the credit of the deposit or custodian account in its name, including accrued interest subject to any deduction required by law and expenses incurred.

Assuming that the Proposal becomes effective, all existing certificates representing the Share Stapled Units will cease to have effect as documents or evidence of title as from the Effective Date, which is expected to be on or about 28 September 2020 (Cayman Islands time).

Settlement of the Cancellation Price to which the Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units are entitled under the Scheme will be implemented in full in accordance with the terms of the Scheme, without regard to any encumbrance, lien, right of set-off, counterclaim or other analogous right to which the Offeror may otherwise be, or claim to be, entitled against such Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units.

22. TAXATION

As the Proposal does not involve the sale and purchase of Hong Kong stock, no stamp duty will be payable pursuant to the Stamp Duty Ordinance (Chapter 117 of the Laws of Hong Kong) on the cancellation and extinguishment of the Share Stapled Units upon the Scheme becoming effective. The Holders of Scheme Share Stapled Units, whether in Hong Kong or in other jurisdictions, are recommended to consult their own professional advisers if they are in doubt as to the taxation implications of accepting the Proposal. It is emphasized that none of the Offeror, the Trustee Manager, the Company, parties acting in concert with them or presumed to be acting in concert with them and their respective advisers or any of their respective directors, officers or associates or any other person involved in the Proposal accepts any responsibility whatsoever for any taxation effects on, or liabilities of, any persons as a result of their acceptance or rejection of the Proposal.

23. THE SCHEME AND THE COURT MEETINGS

Pursuant to Section 86 of the Companies Law, where an arrangement is proposed between a company and its members or any class of them, the Grand Court may, on the application of the company or any member of the company, order a meeting of the members of the company or class of members, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the Grand Court directs.

It is expressly provided in Section 86 of the Companies Law that if a majority in number representing 75% in value of the members or class of members, as the case may be, present and voting either in person or by proxy at the meeting held as directed by the Grand Court as aforesaid, agree to any arrangement, the arrangement shall, if sanctioned by the Grand Court, be binding on all members or class of members, as the case may be, and also on the Company.

25. BENEFICIAL OWNERS

Beneficial Owners are urged to have their names entered in the Registers as soon as possible for, among other things, the following reasons:

  1. to enable the Beneficial Owners to become Holders of Share Stapled Units so that they can attend the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and the EGM in the respective capacity as Unitholders, Preference Shareholders and Holders of Share Stapled Units or be represented by proxies to be appointed by them and to be included for the purpose of calculating the majority in number of Unitholders and Preference Shareholders, and the votes cast at the Unitholders Meeting will be for the purposes of ascertaining whether or not the requirement that a majority in number of the Ordinary Shareholders approve the Scheme under section 86(2) of the Companies Law has been satisfied;
  2. to enable the Trustee-Manager and the Company to properly classify holders of the Company as Unitholders, Preference Shareholders and Holders of Share Stapled Units for the purposes of Section 86 of the Companies Law; and
  3. to enable the Trustee-Manager, the Company and the Offeror to make arrangements to effect payments by way of the delivery of cheques to the most appropriate person when the Proposal becomes effective.

No person shall be recognised by the Trustee-Manager and the Company as holding any Share Stapled Units upon any trust. In the case of any Beneficial Owner whose Share Stapled Units are held upon trust by, and registered in the name of, a Registered Owner (other than HKSCC Nominees Limited), such Beneficial Owner should contact the Registered Owner and provide him, her or it with instructions or make arrangements with the Registered Owner in relation to the manner in which the Share Stapled Units of the Beneficial Owner should be voted at the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and/or the EGM. Such instructions and/or arrangements should be given or made in advance of the relevant latest time for the lodgement of forms of proxy in respect of the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and the EGM in order to provide the Registered Owner with sufficient time to accurately complete his, her or its proxy and to submit it by the deadline.

Beneficial Owners should contact their broker, custodian, nominee or such other relevant person in advance of the deadline(s) in respect of the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and/or the EGM set by them, in order to provide such broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person with sufficient time to provide HKSCC Nominees Limited with instructions or make arrangements with HKSCC Nominees Limited in relation to the manner in which Units, Preference Shares and/or Share Stapled Units of the Beneficial Owner should be voted at the Unitholders Meeting, the Court Meeting of Scheme Preference Shareholders and/or the EGM. The procedures for voting in respect of the Scheme by HKSCC Nominees Limited with respect to the Share Stapled Units registered under the name of HKSCC Nominees Limited shall be in accordance with the "General Rules of CCASS" and the "CCASS Operational Procedures" in effect from time to time.

5. MATERIAL CHANGE

The Directors confirm that, save and except as disclosed below, there had been no material change in the financial or trading position or outlook of Jinmao Hotel and the Group since 31 December 2019, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of Jinmao Hotel and the Group were made up and up to the Latest Practicable Date:

  1. as set out in the interim results announcement of Jinmao Hotel and the Group for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the "2020 Interim Results"), Jinmao Hotel and the Group recorded a revenue of approximately RMB611.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020, which represented a sharp decline of approximately 49.8% compared to the corresponding period of 2019. Such decrease was mainly attributable to the substantial decrease in revenue from the hotel operations segment caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 which devastated the travel and hospitality industry. Jinmao Hotel and the Group's revenue from hotel operations for the six months ended 30 June 2020 amounted to approximately RMB336.3 million, representing a significantly decrease of approximately 61.9% compared to the corresponding period of 2019. The significant decrease in revenue turned the profit-making position of Jinmao Hotel and the Group of recording profit attributable to the Holders of Share Stapled Units of approximately RMB166.3 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 into a loss attributable to the Holders of Share Stapled Units of approximately RMB157.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020;

NOTICE OF EGM

  1. a unit in the Trust (the "Unit");
  2. a beneficial interest in a specifically identified ordinary share of the Company (the "Ordinary Share") held by the Trustee-Manager as legal owner, which is "linked" to the Unit; and
  3. a specifically identified preference share of the Company (the "Preference Share"), which is "stapled" to the Unit.

Under the trust deed dated 13 June 2014 constituting the Trust and the Company's amended and restated Articles of Association, the number of ordinary shares and preference shares of the Company in issue must be the same at all times and must also, in each case, be equal to the number of units of the Trust in issue; and each of them is equal to the number of Share Stapled Units in issue.

  1. The EGM is convened as a combined meeting of unitholders of the Trust (the "Unitholders") and shareholders of the Company. The resolution proposed to approve a matter to be considered by the holders of Share Stapled Units at the EGM shall serve as both a resolution of Unitholders and a resolution of shareholders of the Company.
  2. The White form of proxy provided to holders of Share Stapled Units for use at the EGM, and the form of voting paper to be used at the EGM, are, in each case, a single composite form. The effect of completing a form of proxy or voting paper (as the case may be) indicating a vote either for or against a resolution of holders of Share Stapled Units to be proposed at the EGM shall be the vote cast in respect of the relevant Share Stapled Units and shall constitute:
    1. a vote of the units in the Trust (as a component of the relevant Share Stapled Units) in respect of the resolution of unitholders of the Trust under the Trust Deed;
    2. a vote of the preference shares of the Company (as a component of the relevant Share Stapled Units) in respect of the resolution of shareholders of the Company under the Articles of Association; and
    3. an instruction to the Trustee-Manager to vote the number of ordinary shares of the Company held by the Trustee-Manager (as a component of the relevant Share Stapled Units) in respect of the resolution of shareholders of the Company under the Articles of Association.
  3. In respect of each individual Share Stapled Unit, the voting rights conferred by the unit, and the preference share and the interest in an ordinary share which are components of the relevant Share Stapled Unit can only be exercised in the same way (either for or against) in respect of a resolution of holders of Share Stapled Units to be proposed at the EGM; and completion of a form of proxy or voting paper in respect of a Share Stapled Unit will have that effect, as described in note 9 above.
  4. If typhoon signal no. 8 or above remains hoisted, or "extreme conditions" caused by super typhoons or a black rainstorm warning signal is in force at 12:00 noon on the date of the EGM, the EGM will be postponed or adjourned. Holders of Share Stapled Units are requested to visit the website of the Company at www.jinmao88.com and the website of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited at www.hkexnews.hk for the date, time and place of the rescheduled meeting.
    The EGM will be held as scheduled when an amber or red rainstorm warning signal is in force.

Dear Sirs,

INSTRUCTIONS, PURPOSE AND VALUATION DATE

In accordance with your instructions for us to value the properties held by Jinmao Hotel and Jinmao (China) Hotel Investments and Management Limited (referred to as the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") in the People's Republic of China (the "PRC") (as more particularly described in the valuation reports), we confirm that we have carried out inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of the market values of the properties as at 30 June 2020 (the "valuation date").

As advised by the Company, we confirm that this property valuation report comprises all properties held by the Group.

APPENDIX VIII

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

DEFINITION OF MARKET VALUE

Our valuation of each of the properties represents its Market Value which in accordance with HKIS Valuation Standards 2017 published by The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors ("HKIS") is defined as "the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's length transaction, after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion".

VALUATION BASIS AND ASSUMPTIONS

Our valuations exclude an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of value available only to a specific owner or purchaser.

In valuing the properties, we have complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities published by The Stock Exchange of the Hong Kong Limited, Rule 11 of The Code on Takeovers and Mergers issued by the Securities and Futures Commission and The HKIS Valuation Standards 2017 published by HKIS.

In the course of our valuation of the properties in the PRC, we have relied on the information and advice given by the Group and its legal advisor, Tianyuan Law Firm, regarding the title to each of the properties and the interest of the Group in the properties. In valuing the properties, we have prepared our valuation on the basis that the Group has an enforceable title to each of the properties and has free and uninterrupted rights to use, occupy or assign the properties for the whole of the unexpired land use term as granted.

No allowance has been made in our valuations for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the properties nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of any onerous nature which could affect their values.

In respect of the properties situated in the PRC, the status of titles and grant of major certificates, approvals and licenses, in accordance with the information provided by the Group are set out in the notes of the respective valuation reports.

For the purpose of compliance with Rule 11.3 of The Code on Takeovers and Mergers, the potential tax liabilities which may arise from the sale of the properties in the PRC will comprise (a) Stamp Duty, (b) Corporate Income Tax (standard rate of 25%) and (c) Land Appreciation Tax (progressive rates from 30% to 60%). The precise tax implication for the sales of properties will be subject to prevailing rules and regulations at the time of disposal.

As the Group has no intention to dispose of or transfer the relevant property interests, the likelihood of any potential tax liability of these properties being crystallized is remote.

APPENDIX VIII

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

METHOD OF VALUATION

In valuing the properties in Group I, which are properties held by the Group for occupation in the PRC, we have used the direct comparison approach assuming sale of each of these properties in its existing state with the benefit of vacant possession by making reference to comparable sales transactions as available in the relevant market.

In valuing the property in Group II, which are properties held by the Group for investment in the PRC, we have used income capitalization approach on the basis of capitalization of net rental income derived from the existing tenancies with due allowance for reversionary income potential of the property or by reference to comparable market transactions.

In valuing the properties in Group III, which are hotels held by the Group for operation in the PRC, we have used discounted cash flow ("DCF") approach, which involves discounting future net cash of each property in Group III until the end of the unexpired land use term to its present value by using an appropriate discount rate that reflects the rate of return required by a third party investor for an investment of this type. We have prepared a 10-year cash flow forecast with reference to the current and anticipated market conditions.

Direct comparison approach is the best approach for property valuation in theory because it is a market approach showing what price levels that the buyers really paid for the properties in the market. However, this approach has limitation for application especially in the event that relevant property transactions are few and the nature of properties are not uniform.

Direct comparison approach is a method of valuation based on comparing the property to be assessed directly with other comparable properties which recently changed hands. These premises are generally located in the surrounding areas or in another market which is comparable to the Property. However, because of the heterogeneous nature of real estate properties, appropriate adjustments are usually required to allow for any qualitative and quantitative difference that may affect the price likely to be achieved by the property under consideration. Properties in Group I are those properties have sufficient transactions in the relevant market and direct comparison approach is a suitable method for valuing these properties.

Income capitalization approach is usually used to estimate the market value of rental income producing properties, i.e. the properties in Group II. It involves the income streams of two components, the actual and reversionary net rental income. The method converts the actual and reversionary net rental incomes from the properties into market value through the process of capitalization.

Discounted cash flow approach is usually used to estimate the market value of the property used in operation of a trade or business, i.e. the hotel properties in Group III.

APPENDIX VIII

PROPERTY VALUATION REPORT

SOURCES OF INFORMATION

In the course of our valuations, we have relied to a very considerable extent on the information given to us by the Group regarding the title to each of the properties and the interests of the Group in the properties. We have accepted advice given by the Group on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, identification of land and buildings, completion date of buildings, number of rooms and car parking spaces, particulars of occupancy, site and floor areas, interest attributable to the Group and all other relevant matters.

Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation reports are based on 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 which is material to the valuations. We were also advised by the Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information provided.

TITLE INVESTIGATION

We have been provided with extracts of documents relating to the titles of the properties in the PRC but no searches have been made in respect of the properties. We have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain any amendment which may not appear on the copies handed to us. We are also unable to ascertain the title of the properties in the PRC and we have therefore relied on the advice given by the Group and the PRC legal opinion prepared by the Company's legal advisor dated 1 July 2020 regarding the Group's interests in the PRC properties.

SITE INSPECTION

We have inspected the exterior and, whenever possible, the interior of the properties in 2020. However, no structural survey has been made, but in the course of our inspection, we did not note any serious defects. We are, however, not able to report that the properties are free of rot, infestation or any other structural defects. No tests were carried out to any of the services. Unless otherwise stated, we have not been able to carry out on-site measurements to verify the site and floor areas of the properties and we have assumed that the area shown on the documents handed to us are correct. All documents have been used for reference only and all dimensions, measurements and areas are approximate.

    1. Average daily room rate ("ADR"): 2020/2021 - RMB1,400
      In reaching this assumption, the average daily room rates of the subject hotel for the past two financial years were taken into consideration. The average daily room rate achieved by the hotel was RMB1,411 and RMB1,391 in the financial years of 2018 and 2019 respectively. In determining the ADR in 2020/2021, we have adopted the average daily room rates in year 2018 and 2019 with minor adjustments on the factors including inflation and competition. Additionally, we have also made reference to industry statistics in the relevant market.
    2. Annual growth in ADR: stabilized at 4.0%.
      Assumptions regarding annual growth rate in ADR were based upon the subject hotel's historical growth and performance. Considering general inflation and based on sustained industry growth of the past few years, it is believed that the hotel will continue to follow historical trends and will generate additional revenue in the future, assuming no policy changes or unforeseen events impacting the economy of the locality of the subject hotel will occur.

It is considered a reasonable assumption based on our understanding of the return expected by investors for similar properties and is consistent with the level of discount rate used in valuation of similar types of properties.

  1. We have assumed an investment holding period of 10 years in the DCF valuation and the other key assumptions used are summarized as follows.
    1. Average daily room rate ("ADR"): 2020/2021 - RMB1,060
      In reaching this assumption, the average daily room rates of the subject hotel for the past two financial years were taken into consideration. The average daily room rate achieved by the hotel was RMB1,096 and RMB1,050 in the financial years of 2018 and 2019 respectively. In determining the ADR in 2020/2021, we have adopted the average daily room rates in year 2018 and 2019 with minor adjustments on the factors including inflation and competition. Additionally, we have also made reference to industry statistics in the relevant market.
    2. Annual growth in ADR: stabilized at 5.0%.
      Assumptions regarding annual growth rate in ADR were based upon the subject hotel's historical growth and performance. Considering general inflation and based on sustained industry growth of the past few years, it is believed that the hotel will continue to follow historical trends and will generate additional revenue in the future, assuming no policy changes or unforeseen events impacting the economy of the locality of the subject hotel will occur.
    3. Occupancy rate: 2020/2021 - 45%, stabilized at 70%.
      In arriving at our assumptions regarding the future occupancy rate of the subject hotel, we have made reference to the average occupancy rates of the subject hotel for the financial years of 2018 and 2019 were 84.7% and 87.9% respectively and industry statistics in the relevant market.
    4. Discount rate: 7.0%.
      The discount rate reflects the inherent risk associated with investment in the hotel and takes into a risk premium for the forecast cash flow to be materialized having regard to the risk free rate based on the prevailing yield of 2-year Hong Kong Exchange Fund Notes (1.52%) and expected inflation of 4%. It is considered a reasonable assumption based on our understanding of the return expected by investors for similar properties and is consistent with the level of discount rate used in valuation of similar types of properties.
    5. Terminal capitalization rate: 3.5%.
      For the purpose of the valuation, the subject hotel is assumed to be sold at the end of a 10-year projection period at a price based upon the net operating income in the 10th year of that projection period and on a terminal capitalization rate for the remaining land use term. In adopting the terminal capitalization rate to arrive at the terminal value of the subject hotel, we have had due regard, among other things, to (i) discount rate we have adopted, our forecast change in average revenue per room over the assumed 10-year investment holding period, and (ii) the duration of the remaining land use term of the land on which the subject hotel is located.

  1. We have assumed an investment holding period of 10 years in the DCF valuation and the other key assumptions used are summarized as follows.
    1. Average daily room rate ("ADR"): 2020/2021 - RMB1,160
      In reaching this assumption, the average daily room rates of the subject hotel for the past two financial years were taken into consideration. The average daily room rate achieved by the hotel was RMB1,108 and RMB982 in the financial years of 2018 and 2019 respectively. In determining the ADR in 2020/2021, we have adopted the average daily room rates in year 2018 and 2019 with minor adjustments on the factors including inflation and competition. Additionally, we have also made reference to industry statistics in the relevant market.
    2. Annual growth in ADR: stabilized at 4.0%.
      Assumptions regarding annual growth rate in ADR were based upon the subject hotel's historical growth and performance. Considering general inflation and based on sustained industry growth of the past few years, it is believed that the hotel will continue to follow historical trends and will generate additional revenue in the future, assuming no policy changes or unforeseen events impacting the economy of the locality of the subject hotel will occur.
    3. Occupancy rate: 2020/2021 - 50%, stabilized at 70%.
      In arriving at our assumptions regarding the future occupancy rate of the subject hotel, we have made reference to the average occupancy rates of the subject hotel for the financial years of 2018 and 2019 were 89.6% and 86.1% respectively and industry statistics in the relevant market.
    4. Discount rate: 7.0%.
      The discount rate reflects the inherent risk associated with investment in the hotel and takes into a risk premium for the forecast cash flow to be materialized having regard to the risk free rate based on the prevailing yield of 2-year Hong Kong Exchange Fund Notes (1.52%) and expected inflation of 4%. It is considered a reasonable assumption based on our understanding of the return expected by investors for similar properties and is consistent with the level of discount rate used in valuation of similar types of properties.
    5. Terminal capitalization rate: 3.5%.
      For the purpose of the valuation, the subject hotel is assumed to be sold at the end of a 10-year projection period at a price based upon the net operating income in the 10th year of that projection period and on a terminal capitalization rate for the remaining land use term. In adopting the terminal capitalization rate to arrive at the terminal value of the subject hotel, we have had due regard, among other things, to (i) discount rate we have adopted, our forecast change in average revenue per room over the assumed 10-year investment holding period, and (ii) the duration of the remaining land use term of the land on which the subject hotel is located.
