  • (2) The Offeror reserves the right to revise or extend the Share Offer until such time and/or date as it may determine and in accordance with the Takeovers Code. The Offeror will issue an announcement to be posted on the Stock Exchange's website by 7:00 p.m. on Friday, 16 April 2021, being the First Closing Date, as to whether the Share Offer has been revised or extended, has become or been declared unconditional.

Where a period laid down by the Takeovers Code ends on a day which is not a Business Day, the period is extended until the next Business Day.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Composite Document includes certain "forward-looking statements". These statements are based on the current expectations of the management of the Offeror, and/or EE (as the case may be) and are naturally subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. The forward-looking statements contained in this Composite Document include statements about the expected effects of the Share Offer, the expected timing and all other statements in this Composite Document other than historical facts.

Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements typically containing words such as "intends", "expects", "anticipates", "targets", "estimates", "envisages" and words of similar import. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the satisfaction of the conditions to the Share Offer, as well as additional factors, such as general, social, economic and political conditions in the countries in which the relevant entity operates or other countries which have an impact on the relevant company's business activities or investments, interest rates, the monetary and interest rate policies of the countries in which the relevant company operates, inflation or deflation, foreign exchange rates, the performance of the financial markets in the countries in which the relevant company operates and globally, changes in domestic and foreign laws, regulations and taxes, changes in competition and the pricing environments in the countries in which the relevant company operates, regional or general changes in asset valuations and disruptions or reductions in travel and operations due to natural or man-made disasters, pandemics, epidemics, or outbreaks of infectious or contagious diseases such as COVID-19. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.

All forward-looking statements attributable to the Offeror and/or EE (as the case may be) or persons acting on behalf of any of them are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. The forward-looking statements included herein are made only as of the Latest Practicable Date.

Any forward-looking statement contained in this Composite Document based on past or current trends and/or activities should not be taken as a representation that such trends or activities will continue in the future. No statement in this Composite Document is intended to be a profit forecast or to imply that the earnings of the relevant company for the current year or future years will necessarily match or exceed its historical or published earnings. Each forward-looking statement speaks only as at the date of the particular statement. Subject to the requirements of the Takeovers Code and other applicable laws and regulations, each of the Offeror and EE expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in their expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions of circumstances on which any such statement is based.

26 March 2021

To the Independent EE Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

VOLUNTARY CONDITIONAL CASH OFFER BY

ALTUS INVESTMENTS LIMITED

FOR AND ON BEHALF OF

THE OFFEROR, A WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY OF EASYKNIT INTERNATIONAL HOLDINGS LIMITED

FOR ALL THE ISSUED SHARES OF

EMINENCE ENTERPRISE LIMITED (OTHER THAN THOSE ALREADY OWNED OR AGREED TO BE ACQUIRED BY THE OFFEROR AND

PARTIES ACTING IN CONCERT WITH IT)

Reference is made to the Joint Announcement dated 11 February 2021 published by Easyknit and EE in respect of, among other things, a pre-conditional voluntary conditional cash offer by Altus Investments on behalf of the Offeror, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Easyknit, to acquire all of the issued shares of EE (other than those already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it) and the joint announcement dated 19 March 2021 published by EE, Easyknit and the Offeror in respect of the satisfaction of the Pre-Condition.

This letter sets out, among other things, details of the terms of the Share Offer, the reasons for and benefits of the Share Offer, the intention of Easyknit regarding the EE Group and information on Easyknit and the Offeror. Further details of the terms of the Share Offer are set out in Appendix I "Further Terms and Procedures of Acceptance of the Share Offer" to this Composite Document of which this letter forms part, and in the accompanying Form of Acceptance.

1. INTRODUCTION TO THE SHARE OFFER

Altus Investments, on behalf of the Offeror, hereby makes a voluntary conditional cash offer to acquire all of the issued shares of EE (other than those already owned or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it) at the Share Offer Price.

2. THE SHARE OFFER

The Share Offer is made by Altus Investments on behalf of the Offeror in compliance with the Takeovers Code on the basis set out below.

For each EE Share . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Share Offer Price, being HK$0.50 in cash

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 931,458,010 EE Shares in issue. At the Share Offer Price of HK$0.50 per EE Share, the entire issued share capital of EE is valued at HK$465,729,005.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, based on the issued share capital of 931,458,010 EE Shares, and after deducting the 275,687,665 EE Shares owned by Easyknit (through the Offeror, Landmark Profits and Goodco), there are 655,770,345 EE Shares subject to the Share Offer.

In addition, Goodco, a party acting in concert with the Offeror (being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Easyknit, which is the parent company of the Offeror), holds the Goodco Convertible Notes with an outstanding aggregate principal amount of HK$97,280,000 at a conversion price that is currently HK$0.25 (subject to adjustment) all due on 28 August 2024. As Goodco is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Easyknit and is a party acting in concert with the Offeror, no offer will be made for the Goodco Convertible Notes under Rule 13 of the Takeovers Code. Save for the above, there are no outstanding options, derivatives, warrants or securities which are convertible or exchangeable into EE Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Share Offer Price was determined on a commercial basis after taking into account, among other things, (i) the historical market prices of the EE Shares traded on the Stock Exchange; (ii) the unaudited net assets of the EE Group attributable to the EE Shareholders as at 30 September 2020; and (iii) the historical financial performance of the EE Group. Please refer to the paragraphs headed "The Share Offer Price" and "Reasons for and benefits of the Share Offer" of this letter for detailed comparisons between the Share Offer Price and historical trading prices of EE Shares and historical discounts to net asset value attributable to owners per EE Share.

3. THE SHARE OFFER PRICE

The Share Offer Price of HK$0.50 per EE Share represents:

  • (i) a premium of approximately 6.4% over the closing price of HK$0.47 per EE Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (ii) a premium of approximately 23.5% over the closing price of HK$0.405 per EE Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date;

-7-

(iii) a premium of approximately 22.2% over the average of the closing prices per EE Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date of approximately HK$0.409;

  • (iv) a premium of approximately 21.1% over the average of the closing prices per EE Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 10 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date of approximately HK$0.413;

  • (v) a premium of approximately 24.0% over the average of the closing prices per EE Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last 30 consecutive trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date of approximately HK$0.403;

  • (vi) a discount of approximately 84.2% to the audited consolidated net asset value per EE Share attributable to the EE Shareholders as at 31 March 2020 of approximately HK$3.158 per EE Share calculated based on the audited consolidated net assets of the EE Group attributable to the EE Shareholders of approximately HK$2,941.9 million as at 31 March 2020 as extracted from the annual report of EE for the year ended 31 March 2020 and 931,458,010 EE Shares then in issue;

  • (vii) a discount of approximately 84.0% to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per EE Share attributable to the EE Shareholders as at 30 September 2020 of approximately HK$3.118 per EE Share calculated based on the unaudited consolidated net assets of the EE Group attributable to the EE Shareholders of approximately HK$2,904.0 million as at 30 September 2020 as extracted from the interim report of EE for the six months ended 30 September 2020 and 931,458,010 EE Shares then in issue; and

(viii) a discount of approximately 84.6% to the Reassessed NAV per EE Share attributable to the

EE Shareholders as at 30 September 2020 of approximately HK$3.238 per EE Share calculated based on the Reassessed NAV of approximately HK$3,016.5 million as at 30 September 2020 as set out in Appendix II "Financial information of the EE Group" to this Composite Document and 931,458,010 EE Shares then in issue as at 31 January 2021.

As at the date of this Composite Document, there is no dividend declared but unpaid and the EE Board has not decided whether to recommend the payment of any dividend for the year ending 31 March 2021 ("2021 Dividend") to the EE Shareholders. The EE Board will consider whether to recommend a payment of a 2021 Dividend when it meets to consider the consolidated results of EE for the year ending 31 March 2021. Such meeting is expected to take place by end of June 2021.

7. VALUE OF THE SHARE OFFER

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 931,458,010 EE Shares in issue of which 655,770,345 EE Shares are subject to the Share Offer. Assuming that there is no change in the issued EE Shares from the Latest Practicable Date up to the Closing Date and assuming full acceptance of the Share Offer, based on the Share Offer Price of HK$0.50 per EE Share, the total cash consideration payable by the Offeror under the Share Offer is approximately HK$327.9 million.

8. CONFIRMATION OF FINANCIAL RESOURCES

The funds required by the Offeror to satisfy the consideration payable under the Share Offer will be financed by cash and debt financing obtained from Hang Seng Bank Limited by the Easyknit Group, and a portion of the EE Shares to be acquired by the Offeror under the Share Offer will be pledged to Hang Seng Bank Limited as security for the relevant debt financing.

Altus Capital is satisfied that sufficient financial resources are available to the Offeror to meet full acceptance of the Share Offer.

9. COMPULSORY ACQUISITION AND MAINTAINING THE LISTING STATUS OF EE

The Offeror does not intend to avail itself of any powers of compulsory acquisition in respect of EE under the provisions of the laws of Bermuda. The Offeror intends the EE Shares to remain listed on the Stock Exchange after the close of the Share Offer.

The Stock Exchange has stated that if, upon the close of the Share Offer, less than the minimum prescribed percentage applicable to EE, being 25% of the issued EE Shares, are held by the public, or if the Stock Exchange believes that:

  • - a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the EE Shares; or

  • - that there are insufficient EE Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market,

then the Stock Exchange will consider exercising its discretion to suspend dealings in the EE Shares.

The Offeror, Easyknit and EE intend EE to remain listed on the Stock Exchange. The directors of the Offeror, Easyknit and EE will jointly and severally undertake to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float exists in the EE Shares.

15. INFORMATION ON THE EASYKNIT GROUP

The Offeror is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and is directly wholly-owned by Easyknit. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the directors of the Offeror are Ms. Lui Yuk Chu and Mr. Tse Wing Chiu Ricky, the executive Easyknit Directors are Ms. Koon Ho Yan, Candy, Ms. Lui Yuk Chu and Mr. Tse Wing Chiu Ricky and the independent non-executive Easyknit Directors are Mr. Tsui Chun Kong, Mr. Jong Koon Sang and Mr. Lau Chak Hang Charles.

The Easyknit Group is principally engaged in property development, property investment, securities investment and loan financing businesses. One of the core businesses of the Easyknit Group is property development. The Easyknit Group has extensive experience in property redevelopment, in particular, acquisition of old buildings for renewal and redevelopment. Another core business of the Easyknit Group is property investment. The Easyknit Group's investment properties comprise residential, commercial and industrial properties in Hong Kong.

16. OFFEROR'S REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SHARE OFFER

The Offeror adopts the views of Easyknit, which is understood to be as follows:

The Easyknit Group considers EE to be an attractive acquisition opportunity. Easyknit (i) is prudently optimistic about the long-term prospects of the Hong Kong property market; and (ii) considers the EE Shares is undervalued as the EE Share price dropped from its recent-high in 2019 at the highest closing price of HK$1.74. Between 12 February 2020 to 2 March 2020, Easyknit, through the Offeror, on-market acquired a total of 71,055,000 EE Shares, representing approximately 7.63% of the then total issued share capital of EE. On 4 September 2020, the Easyknit Group acquired additional EE Shares through on-market purchases of a total of 19,800,000 EE Shares, representing approximately 2.13% of the then total issued share capital of EE. As a result, the Easyknit Group's ownership of voting rights in EE was approximately 29.60% as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Set out below are observations of Easyknit in relation to EE's investment fundamentals.

1. Prudently optimistic about the long-term prospects of the property market

EE's major business segments include property development and property investment, comprising the ownership and rental of investment properties, investment in securities and loan financing. EE's property interests comprise of a mix of residential, commercial and industrial properties, which represent approximately 16%, 33% and 51% of its property interests based on the latest valuation set out in Appendix III "Property valuation of the EE Group" to this Composite Document. For details of the property interests of the EE Group, please refer to Appendix III "Property valuation of the EE Group" to this Composite Document. For the past few years, Hong Kong's property market, and hence EE's business performance, have been adversely affected by the macro environment including (i) the Sino-U.S. trade dispute since the second half of 2018; (ii) the social unrest in Hong Kong after June 2019; and (iii) the global outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020.

Easyknit expects that the impact from the Sino-U.S. trade dispute will continue to linger and the economic outlook of Hong Kong will remain uncertain until the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. As the work-from-home model has become prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic, this working mode may become permanent or widespread for certain sectors, implying a potential lower demand for office space in the future. Further, as tourist shopping expenditure contributes significantly to the total retail sector in Hong Kong, the compulsory quarantine arrangements will continue to deter travelers from visiting Hong Kong, putting downward pressure on the retail sector and in turn the demand for shops/commercial spaces, adversely affecting rental payments to landlords.

Despite the uncertainties on the economic outlook caused by the softening global economic growth and the outbreak of COVID-19, Easyknit remains prudently optimistic about the long-term prospects of the Hong Kong property market and believes the market will continue to grow over the longer term considering the macroeconomic fundamentals set out below:

(i) the growth prospects of Hong Kong's economy as part of the Guangdong-Hong

Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area and hence the demand of its properties

With reference to the "2020 Economic Background and 2021 Prospects" issued by the

Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (the "Hong Kong Government"), the Easyknit Board noted that the "14th Five-Year Plan" for 2021-2025 of China increased emphasis on "dual circulation", in which the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will be an important entry point for Hong Kong to participate in the domestic circulation.

Hong Kong's "One Country, Two Systems" and strong competitive edges in high-value added professional and business services allow Hong Kong to play the role as an "intermediary" and "facilitator" in the development of China's external circulation. The potential benefits in participating in the external circulation set a solid foundation for Hong Kong's economy to grow.

In the long run, property prices will be determined by the economic strength of the region as higher income would increase both demand for (i) consumption of properties (self-occupied properties); and (ii) investment in properties. Given that Hong Kong's economy is set to benefit from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area, the Easyknit Board considers that demand for Hong Kong properties will also increase.

(ii) increasing fundamental demand for properties due to the rising number of domestic

households

The statistics on domestic households published by the Census and Statistics

Department show a continuing increase in number of domestic households from 2,534,700 in 2017 to 2,684,700 in 2020. The Census and Statistics Department estimates the number of domestic households to further increase to 2,734,500 by 2024. Such rise in domestic households will result in demand for housing.

(iii) limited land supply in Hong Kong, in particular the limited short-term supply due to

delays in government approvals

According to the 2020 Policy Address issued by the chief executive of the Hong Kong

Government, the Hong Kong Government has identified 330 hectares of land required for providing 316,000 public housing units. Of the 316 000 units, about one-third are scheduled for completion in the first five-year period (i.e. 2021-22 to 2025-26) whereas the other two-third fall in the second five-year period (i.e. 2026-27 to 2030-31).

Despite the Hong Kong Government's efforts, as shown above, the short-term land supply (only one-third of the increased supply can be completed by 2026) remains limited as time is required for implementation of the Hong Kong Government's plan to raise land supply. A rise in demand, coupled with limited supply will exert upward pressure on general prices in the housing market, which will bolster the real estate market.

(iv) loose monetary policy resulting in lower interest rates, which support mortgage's affordability and hence the demand for properties

One-month Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate has been on a decreasing trend, falling from 2.680% as at 31 December 2019 to 0.180% as at 31 December 2020 and a further decrease to 0.120% as at 25 February 2021.

The low interest rate reduces the financial burden of the mortgagor and hence could increase the demand for properties.

(v) favourable government policies

These favourable government policies include (a) introduction of a pilot scheme for charging land premium at "standard rates" for industrial buildings (target to launch in early 2021); and (b) the abolishment of doubled Ad Valorem Stamp Duty for non-residential property transactions is effective from 26 November 2020, which decreased the maximum to 4.25% from previously 8.5% on non-residential property transactions. Such policies are designed to incentivise property acquisition and should lift market demand.

Notes:

  • (i) The audited and unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to equity holders as at the respective year/period end dates were extracted from the respective annual/interim reports published by EE.

  • (ii) Represents the average market capitalisation of EE during the period from the trading day following the publication by EE of its audited annual results or unaudited interim results (as the case may be) to the trading day on which the subsequent unaudited interim results or audited annual results (as the case may be) were published.

  • (iii) Represents the discount of the average market capitalisation to the net asset value attributable to equity holders as at the respective year/period end date.

  • (iv) Represents the average market capitalisation during the period from 23 November 2020, being the trading day following the publication by EE of its unaudited 2020 interim results, to the Last Trading Date.

While the market capitalisation of EE fluctuates, overall it has declined from its last high in 2019 but Easyknit has observed that the business fundamentals of EE have not materially and adversely changed. Instead, the net asset value attributable to equity holders as at 30 September 2020 improved compared to that recorded as at 31 March 2018 as shown in the above table, mainly due to rise in the book-value of the properties (being the property development projects or the investment properties) which are indicators of a property company's future earnings potential.

Easyknit noted that the EE Shares have consistently traded at substantial discounts to the net asset value attributable to equity holders for the past three financial years. Easyknit also noted that the current discount of the EE share price to its net asset value is much deeper than that of most of the market peers of EE.

In light of the above, Easyknit considers EE to be an attractive acquisition opportunity and considers it to be an opportune time to acquire control of EE.

In addition, the Easyknit Directors consider the Share Offer to be an effective channel for Easyknit to expand into the non-residential property development sector. The Easyknit Directors expect such expansion to create synergy values by achieving greater business coherence and enhancing resources allocation.

Accordingly, the Easyknit Directors are of the view that the terms of the Share Offer are fair and reasonable and the possible very substantial acquisition is in the interests of Easyknit and the shareholders of Easyknit as a whole.

17. OFFEROR'S INTENTIONS REGARDING THE EE GROUP

The Offeror adopts the approach of Easyknit, which is understood to be as follows:

Easyknit does not at present and in the near term intend to dispose of or redeploy the assets of the

EE Group other than in the ordinary course of business and has no intention to change the existing management of the EE Group. On completion of the Share Offer, EE, which is at present recognised as an associate in the books of Easyknit will become a subsidiary of Easyknit and Easyknit will review with EE Board their respective businesses and operations and whether changes are desirable in order to maximise efficiencies and exploit possible synergies. If any changes are proposed as a result of that review, they will be made in compliance with the Listing Rules and (if relevant at the time) the Takeovers Code.

It is also the intention of Easyknit that the business of the EE Group, the employment of the existing employees of the EE Group and the directorship of the existing directors of the EE Group will be continued following completion of the Share Offer except for changes which may occur in the ordinary course of business.

The Stock Exchange has stated that if, upon the close of the Share Offer, less than the minimum prescribed percentage applicable to EE, being 25% of the issued EE Shares, are held by the public, or if the Stock Exchange believes that:

  • - a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the EE Shares; or

  • - that there are insufficient EE Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market,

then the Stock Exchange will consider exercising its discretion to suspend dealings in the EE Shares.

The Offeror, Easyknit and EE intend EE to remain listed on the Stock Exchange. The directors of the Offeror, Easyknit and EE will jointly and severally undertake to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float exists in the EE Shares.

18. TAXATION AND INDEPENDENT ADVICE

EE Shareholders are recommended to consult their own professional advisers if they are in any doubt as to the taxation implications of accepting the Share Offer. It is emphasised that none of the Offeror, EE, Altus Investments, the EE Independent Financial Adviser and the Registrar, nor any of their respective directors, officers or associates or any other person involved in the Share Offer, accepts responsibility for any taxation effects on, or liabilities of, any persons as a result of their accepting or not accepting the Share Offer.

19. FURTHER TERMS OF THE SHARE OFFER

The Share Offer is subject to the Conditions. If any of the Conditions are not satisfied or waived on or before the Conditions Long Stop Date, the Share Offer will lapse. The Offeror will issue an announcement stating whether the Share Offer has been revised or extended, has expired or has become or been declared unconditional (and, in such case, whether as to acceptances or in all respects), by 7:00 p.m. on the Closing Date in accordance with the Takeovers Code. The latest time on which the Offeror can declare the Share Offer unconditional as to acceptances is 7:00 p.m. on the 60th day after the posting of this Composite Document (or such later date to which the Executive may consent).

If all the Conditions are satisfied (or waived, as applicable), the EE Shareholders will be notified by way of an announcement in accordance with the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules as soon as practicable thereafter.

Please refer to Appendix I "Further terms and procedures of acceptance of the Share Offer" to this Composite Document for further terms of the Share Offer.

20. GENERAL

To ensure equality of treatment of all Independent EE Shareholders, those registered Independent EE Shareholders who hold EE Shares as nominees for more than one beneficial owner should, as far as practicable, treat the holding of EE Shares by each beneficial owner separately. In order for the beneficial owners of the EE Shares whose investments are registered in the names of nominee to accept the Share Offer, it is essential that they provide instructions to their nominees of their intentions with regard to the Share Offer. Your attention is drawn to the paragraph headed "Further terms and procedures of acceptance of the Share Offer" in Appendix I of this Composite Document.

All documents and remittances to the Independent EE Shareholders will be sent to them by ordinary post at their own risk to their addresses as they appear in the register of members of EE or, in the case of joint Independent EE Shareholders, to the Independent EE Shareholder whose name appears first in the branch register of members of EE. None of the Offeror, EE, Altus Investments nor any of their respective directors or professional advisers or any other persons involved in the Share Offer will be responsible for any loss or delay in transmission or any other liabilities that may arise as a result thereof.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 931,458,010 EE Shares in issue, of which 275,687,665 EE Shares or approximately 29.60% are held by the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it.

As Goodco is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of Easyknit and is a party acting in concert with the Offeror, no offer will be made for the Goodco Convertible Notes under Rule 13 of the Takeovers Code. Save for the above, there were no outstanding options, derivatives, warrants or securities which are convertible or exchangeable into EE Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date.

THE INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The EE Board has established the EE Independent Board Committee, comprising all independent non-executive EE Directors, being Mr. Kan Ka Hon, Mr. Lau Sin Ming and Mr. Wu Koon Yin Welly, to advise the Independent EE Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Share Offer and as to acceptance of the Share Offer.

Pursuant to Rule 2.1 of the Takeovers Code, our appointment has been approved by the EE Independent Board Committee. Our role as the EE Independent Financial Adviser is to give our recommendation to the EE Independent Board Committee as to (i) whether the terms of the Share Offer are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent EE Shareholders are concerned; and (ii) whether the Independent EE Shareholders should, or should not, accept the Share Offer.

OUR INDEPENDENCE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we were, and we remain, independent from and not connected with EE, Easyknit, the Offeror and any of their respective associates, or any party acting, or presumed to be acting, in concert with any of them and accordingly, are qualified to give independent advice to the EE Independent Board Committee in respect of the Share Offer. In the last two (2) years, we have acted as the independent financial adviser to independent board committees and independent shareholders of EE in relation to (i) proposed connected transaction relating to a very substantial disposal, the announcements of which were published on 9 November 2020, 4 January 2021, 22 January 2021 and 19 February 2021; (ii) alteration of terms of the convertible notes, as in the circular of EE dated 30 October 2020; (iii) a proposed rights issue on the basis of four (4) rights shares for every one (1) consolidated share, as in the circular of EE dated 17 December 2019 and relevant adjustments to the terms of the convertible notes as a result of the rights issue; (iv) a connected transaction relating to the proposed issue of convertible note under specific mandate, as in the circular of EE dated 2 August 2019; and (v) a connected transaction relating to very substantial acquisition and very substantial disposal, as in the circular of EE dated 12 February 2019. Apart from the abovementioned independent financial adviser roles, we have not acted in any capacity for EE, Easyknit and the Offeror in the past two (2) years.

Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with this appointment as the EE Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangements exist whereby we have received or will receive any fees or benefits from EE.

We believe that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have also sought and received confirmation from the executive EE Directors that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied and opinions expressed to us.

We have not, however, carried out any independent verification of the information provided by the EE Directors and the Management, nor have we conducted an independent investigation into the business and affairs of EE, Easyknit, the Offeror and their respective shareholder(s) and subsidiaries or affiliates, and their respective histories, experience and track records, or the prospects of the markets in which they respectively operate. Our opinion is necessarily based on financial, economic, market and other conditions in effect and the information made available to us at the Latest Practicable Date.

We have not considered the tax and regulatory implications on the Independent EE Shareholders of acceptance or non-acceptance of the Share Offer since these depend on their individual circumstances. In particular, the Independent EE Shareholders who are resident overseas or subject to overseas taxes or Hong Kong taxation on securities dealings should consider their own tax positions, and if in any doubt, should consult their own professional adviser.

This letter is issued for the information of the EE Independent Board Committee and the Independent EE Shareholders solely in connection with their consideration of the Share Offer, and except for its inclusion in the Composite Document, is not to be quoted or referred to, in whole or in part, except in announcement and other document(s) in connection with the Share Offer nor shall this letter be used for any other purposes, without our prior written consent.

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In arriving at our opinion and recommendation, we have taken into consideration the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Financial information of the EE Group and outlook

(a) Historical financial information of the EE Group

As set out in the annual report of the EE Group for the year ended 31 March 2020 (the "2020 Annual Report"), the EE Group was principally engaged in property development, property investment, comprising the ownership and rental of investment properties, investment in securities and loan financing business which property development and property investment are the core businesses of the EE Group, in which approximately 75.8% of revenue was contributed from the property investment segment and the remaining was contributed from the loan financing segment for the year ended 31 March 2020.

Financial results for the six months ended 30 September 2020 ("1H2020") compared to the six months ended 30 September 2019 ("1H2019")

As set out in Table 1 above, the revenue of the EE Group remained relatively stable at approximately HK$41.4 million for 1H2020 and approximately HK$40.0 million for 1H2019.

The EE Group recorded a loss for the period of approximately HK$64.6 million for 1H2020 as compared to the loss for the period of approximately HK$12.4 million for 1H2019. Such increase in loss was mainly attributable to (i) increase in loss on changes in fair value of investment properties to approximately HK$12.3 million for 1H2020 from approximately HK$1.7 million for 1H2019; (ii) increase in write-down on properties held for development for sale to approximately HK$60.9 million for 1H2020 from approximately HK$24.1 million for 1H2019; and (iii) no gain on disposal of subsidiaries recorded during 1H2020 compared with the gain on disposal of subsidiaries of approximately HK$57.5 million recognised during 1H2019. Such increase in loss was partially offset by the net loss on modification of terms of convertible note recognised in 1H2019.

Financial results for the financial year ended 31 March 2020 ("FY2020") compared to financial year ended 31 March 2019 ("FY2019")

As set out in Table 1 above, the EE Group's audited consolidated revenue for FY2020 was approximately HK$80.7 million, representing an increase of approximately 29.7% as compared to the revenue of approximately HK$62.2 million for FY2019. According to the 2020 Annual Report, such increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in rental income from newly acquired properties.

The EE Group recorded net loss for the year of approximately HK$206.2 million for FY2020 as compared to the net profit for the year of approximately HK$50.5 million for FY2019, which was mainly attributable to, among other things, (i) increase in loss on changes in fair value of investment properties to approximately HK$66.6 million for FY2020 compared with the gain on changes in fair value of investment properties of approximately HK$46.0 million recognised for FY2019; (ii) write-down on properties held for development for sale of approximately of HK$134.3 million for FY2020 but there was no such write-down for FY2019; and (iii) net loss on modification of terms of convertible note issued by EE of approximately HK$37.5 million for FY2020 but there was no such loss for FY2019. Such loss was partially offset by the increase in rental income from newly acquired properties and gain on the disposal of subsidiaries during FY2020.

Financial results for the financial year ended 31 March 2019 compared to financial year ended 31 March 2018 ("FY2018")

As set out in Table 1 above, the EE Group's audited consolidated revenue for FY2019 was approximately HK$62.2 million, representing an increase of approximately 25.4% as compared to the revenue of approximately HK$49.6 million for FY2018. According to the 2019 Annual Report, such increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in the rental income from the property investment business and interest income from the loan financing business.

The EE Group recorded net profit for the year of approximately HK$50.5 million for FY2019, representing a decrease of approximately HK$3.0 million as compared to the net profit of approximately HK$53.5 million for FY2018. Such decrease was mainly attributable to, among other things, the increase in loss on changes in fair value of financial assets through profit or loss to approximately of HK$16.3 million for FY2019 compared with such loss of approximately HK$2.2 million recognised for FY2018, increase in administrative expenses to approximately HK$48.3 million for FY2019 from approximately HK$35.5 million for FY2018 and decrease in gain on changes in fair value of investment properties to approximately HK$46.0 million for FY2019 from approximately HK$72.3 million for FY2018, which has been offset by the increase in rental income to approximately HK$42.6 million for FY2019 from approximately HK$33.0 million for FY2018 and the increase in gain on disposal of a subsidiary of approximately HK$43.1 million for FY2019.

Comparison of financial position as at 30 September 2020 and 31 March 2020

As set out in Table 2 above, as at 30 September 2020, the EE Group recorded net current assets of approximately HK$2,678.3 million (31 March 2020: approximately HK$2,664.1 million). The EE Group's current assets increased from approximately HK$3,202.8 million as at 31 March 2020 to approximately HK$3,222.9 million as at 30 September 2020. Such increase was mainly attributable to the net effect of the increase in properties held for development for sale from approximately HK$2,441.2 million as at 31 March 2020 to approximately HK$2,664.7 million as at 30 September 2020 and the decrease in bank balances and cash from approximately HK$357.8 million as at 31 March 2020 to approximately HK$165.3 million as at 30 September 2020.

The EE Group recorded equity attributable to owners of EE of approximately HK$2,904.0 million as at 30 September 2020 (31 March 2020: approximately HK$2,941.9 million).

No dividends were paid, declared and proposed in respect of the years ended 31 March 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 and the six months period ended 30 September 2020.

Comparison of financial position as at 31 March 2020 and 31 March 2019

As set out in Table 2 above, as at 31 March 2020, the EE Group recorded net current assets of approximately HK$2,664.1 million (31 March 2019: approximately HK$2,069.0 million). The EE Group's current assets increased from approximately HK$2,616.1 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$3,202.8 million as at 31 March 2020. As per the 2020 Annual Report, such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in properties held for development for sale from approximately HK$1,730.3 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$2,441.2 million as at 31 March 2020 and the increase in bank balances and cash from approximately HK$141.6 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$357.8 million as at 31 March 2020; whereas the EE Group's current liabilities decreased from approximately HK$547.1 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$538.6 million as at 31 March 2020 which was mainly attributable to the combined effect of (i) the decrease in convertible notes of approximately HK$17.6 million; (ii) the decrease in trade and other payables of approximately HK$16.6 million; and (iii) the increase in secured bank borrowings of approximately HK$24.6 million.

The EE Group recorded equity attributable to owners of EE of approximately HK$2,941.9 million as at 31 March 2020 (31 March 2019: approximately HK$2,734.2 million). Such increase was mainly attributable to the increase in current assets from approximately HK$2,616.1 million as at 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$3,202.8 million as at 31 March 2020 as discussed above.

Comparison of financial position as at 31 March 2019 and 31 March 2018

As set out in Table 2 above, as at 31 March 2019, the EE Group recorded net current assets of approximately HK$2,069.0 million (31 March 2018: approximately HK$1,478.4 million). The EE Group's current assets increased from approximately HK$2,067.7 million as at 31 March 2018 to approximately HK$2,616.1 million as at 31 March 2019. Such increase was mainly attributable to the net effect of (i) the increase in properties held for development for sale of approximately HK$95.3 million; (ii) the increase in loans receivable of approximately HK$88.0 million; and (iii) the increase in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss of approximately HK$69.3 million; whereas the EE Group's current liabilities decreased from approximately HK$589.3 million as at 31 March 2018 to approximately HK$547.1 million as at 31 March 2019 which was mainly attributable to the net effect of (i) the decrease in secured bank borrowings of approximately HK$65.8 million; and (ii) the increase in trade and other payables of approximately HK$31.1 million.

The EE Group recorded equity attributable to owners of EE of approximately HK$2,734.2 million as at 31 March 2019 (31 March 2018: approximately HK$2,715.3 million). Such increase was mainly attributable to increase in net current assets of approximately HK$590.6 million and partially offset by (i) the decrease in non-current assets of approximately HK$525.8 million and the increase in non-current liabilities of approximately HK$46.0 million.

(b) Prospects and outlook of the Hong Kong property market

According to the 2020 Annual Report, the EE Group recognised approximately HK$851.4 million of non-current assets in Hong Kong as at 31 March 2020, representing over 60.0% of its total non-current assets, which mainly represented investment properties. The EE Group also recognised approximately HK$2,441.2 million of properties held for development for sale which were property development projects in Hong Kong, representing over 76.0% of its total current assets as at 31 March 2020. The EE Group recorded an increase in its revenue of approximately HK$18.5 million or 29.7% from approximately HK$62.2 million for the year ended 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$80.7 million for the year ended 31 March 2020. And therefore, the gross profit of the EE Group increased by approximately HK$17.5 million or 29.7% from approximately HK$59.0 million for the year ended 31 March 2019 to approximately HK$76.5 million for the year ended 31 March 2020. However, the EE Group recognised audited loss for the year of approximately HK$206.2 million, including loss on changes in fair value of investment properties of approximately HK$66.6 million and write-down on properties held for development for sale of approximately HK$134.3 million.

According to the 2020 Interim Report, the EE Group recorded a slight increase in its revenue of approximately HK$1.4 million or 3.5% from approximately HK$40.0 million for the six months ended 30 September 2019 to approximately HK$41.4 million for the six months ended 30 September 2020. And therefore, the gross profit of the EE Group increased by approximately HK$1.7 million or 4.5% from approximately HK$37.9 million for the six months ended 30 September 2019 to approximately HK$39.6 million for the six months ended 30 September 2020. However, the EE Group recognised an unaudited loss for the period of approximately HK$64.6 million, including loss on changes in fair value of investment properties of approximately HK$12.3 million and write-down on properties held for development for sale of approximately HK$60.9 million. EE's property interests comprise of a mix of residential, commercial and industrial properties, which represent approximately 16%, 33% and 51%, respectively, of its property interests based on the latest valuation set out in Appendix III "Property valuation of the EE Group" to the Composite Document.

COVID-19 has brought significant adverse impact and volatility to the industry and the Hong Kong economy and is expected to continue to cast significant uncertainties to the value of and the rental income from the properties of the EE Group in the foreseeable future, given, among other things, COVID-19 might reduce household income due to unemployment and reduce spending power and demand for properties, according to the Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong Government, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose by 0.3 percentage points from September - November 2020 to 6.6% in October - December 2020, the highest in 16 years, and further increased to 7.0% in November 2020 - January 2021.

According to the information recorded in the Land Registry, the number of sale and purchase agreements for residential building units was fluctuated between 61,592 for 2017, 57,247 for 2018, 59,797 for 2019 and 59,880 for 2020. On the other hand, the number of sale and purchase agreements for non-residential building was also fluctuated between 22,224 for 2017, 21,946 for 2018, 15,007 for 2019 and 13,442 for 2020.

In addition, according to the Hong Kong property review monthly supplement published by the Rating and Valuation Department in March 2021, the average consideration for domestic sales of (i) residential building units remained stable at approximately HK$9.2 million in 2019 and approximately HK$9.2 million in 2020; and (ii) non-residential building units decreased from approximately HK$14.7 million in 2019 to approximately HK$9.9 million in 2020. According to the Rating and Valuation Department, the private domestic rental indices in average was increased from approximately 193.0 for 2018 to approximately 194.4 for 2019 and decreased to approximately 180.5 for 2020. Besides, the private domestic price indices in average was increased from approximately 377.3 for 2018 to approximately 383.0 for 2019 and decreased to approximately 381.3 for 2020.

We have also reviewed the views of Easyknit in relation to the Hong Kong property market as set out in the section headed "Letter from Altus Investments - 16. Offeror's reasons for and benefits of the Share Offer" in the Composite Document, including (i) the growth prospects of Hong Kong's economy as part of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area and hence the demand of its properties; (ii) increasing fundamental demand for properties due to the rising number of domestic households; (iii) limited land supply in Hong Kong, in particular the limited short-term supply due to delays in government approvals; (iv) loose monetary policy resulting in lower interest rates, which support mortgage's affordability and hence the demand for properties; and (v) favourable government policies, and therefore Easyknit is prudently optimistic about the long-term prospects of the Hong Kong property market. However, taking into account that (i) the abovementioned factors by Easyknit may not be materialised in the short run given that there are several factors impacting the economy, such as the Sino-U.S. trade dispute and the COVID-19 pandemic; (ii) the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate rose to 7.0% in November 2020 - January 2021 according to the Census and Statistics Department of Hong Kong Government; (iii) the number of sale and purchase agreements for non-residential building experienced a decreasing trend from 22,224 in 2017 to 13,442 in 2020 according to the information recorded in the Land Registry; and (iv) the average consideration for domestic sales of non-residential building units decreased from approximately HK$14.7 million in 2019 to approximately HK$9.9 million in 2020 according to the Hong Kong property review monthly supplement published by the Rating and Valuation Department in March 2021, there remains uncertainties in respect to the Hong Kong property market.

Taking into consideration our findings as mentioned above, we are of the opinion that there remains uncertainty in the future performance of the EE Group.

2. Historical Share price performance

We have reviewed and analysed the closing prices of the EE Shares during the period from 3 February 2020 being the date which is approximately one year prior to the Last Trading Date (the "Pre-announcement Review Period"), up to and including the Latest Practicable Date (the "Review Period") below, which we consider to be long enough to illustrate the historical trend and level of movement of the closing prices of EE Shares:

As shown in the above chart, the EE Shares were traded in a generally downward trend from 24 February 2020 to the Last Trading Date prior to publication of the Joint Announcement. During the Pre-announcement Review Period, the lowest closing price per EE Share was HK$0.230, recorded on 31 August 2020 while the highest closing price per EE Share was HK$0.640, recorded on 20 February 2020. The average daily closing price per EE Share was approximately HK$0.399 per EE Share during the Pre-announcement Review Period. The average daily closing price per EE Share was approximately

HK$0.407 per EE Share during the Review Period.

We note that the Share Offer Price of HK$0.50 per EE Share is above most of the daily closing prices per EE Share throughout the Review Period and represents (i) a discount of approximately 21.88% from the highest closing price; (ii) a premium of approximately 117.39% to the lowest closing price; and (iii) a premium of approximately 22.85% from the average daily closing price during the Review Period. We also note that the prevailing market price of the EE Shares in the Pre-announcement Review Period demonstrated an overall declining trend as shown in the above diagram. In particular, (i) during the recent 30 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date, the average daily closing price per EE Share was approximately HK$0.403, the Share Offer Price of HK$0.50 per EE Share represents a premium of approximately 24.07% from the average daily closing price per EE Share during the recent 30 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date; (ii) during the recent 60 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date, the average daily closing price per EE Share was HK$0.379, the Share Offer Price of HK$0.50 per EE Share represents a premium of approximately 31.93% from the average daily closing price per EE Share during the recent 60 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date; and (iii) during the recent 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date, the average daily closing price per EE Share was HK$0.348, the Share Offer Price of HK$0.50 per EE Share represents a premium of approximately 43.684% from the average daily closing price per EE Share during the recent 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date.

After the publication of the Joint Announcement, the closing price of EE Shares surged to HK$0.47 as at the Latest Practicable Date, representing an increase of approximately 16.0% from the closing price of the EE Shares on the Last Trading Date and being closer to the EE Share Offer Price of HK$0.50 per EE Share. We have discussed with the Management regarding the possible reasons for the surge in the EE Share price after publication of the Joint Announcement and were advised that, save for the Share Offer, they were not aware of any matters which might had an impact on the price of EE Shares.

Shareholders should note that the information set out above is not an indicator of the future performance of the EE Shares and that the price of the EE Shares may increase or decrease from its closing price as at the Latest Practicable Date.

We note that the Share Offer Price of HK$0.50 represents (i) a discount of approximately 84.0% to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per EE Share attributable to the EE Shareholders as at 30 September 2020 of approximately HK$3.118 per EE Share calculated based on the unaudited consolidated net assets of the EE Group attributable to the EE Shareholders of approximately HK$2,904.0 million as at 30 September 2020 as extracted from the 2020 Interim Report and 931,458,010 EE Shares then in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) a discount of approximately 84.6% to the Reassessed NAV per EE Share attributable to the EE Shareholders as at 30 September 2020 of approximately HK$3.238 per EE Share calculated based on the Reassessed NAV of approximately HK$3,016.5 million as at 30 September 2020. We note that (i) the discount of approximately 84.0% to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per EE Share attributable to the EE Shareholders; and (ii) the discount of approximately 84.6% to the Reassessed NAV per EE Share attributable to the EE Shareholders represented by the Share Offer Price are substantial.

Considering that the EE Shares have been traded at a substantial discount to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per EE Share, ranging from a minimum discount of approximately 79.47% to a maximum discount of approximately 92.62% during the Review Period, we are of the view that the prevailing market price is more relevant factor in determining the fairness and reasonableness of the Share Offer Price. Discount to net asset value should be taken as a reference only. We consider that the current market price of the EE Shares directly reflects the value of the EE Share that is generally perceived by the market having taken into account all business segments of the EE Group as well as the prevailing market conditions. For details please see our analysis in relation to the historical trading price against net asset value per EE Share as below:

Historical trading price against net asset value per EE Share

The table below illustrates the historical average closing price per EE Share against the EE Group's published net asset value per EE Share attributable to equity holders over the period from 31 March 2016 to 30 September 2020, covering five annual reports, which we consider to be reasonably long enough to illustrate the historical trend of the closing prices of EE Share, calculated based on the audited/unaudited consolidated net assets attributable to the EE Shareholders divided by the number of EE Shares in issue as at the relevant year/period:

Notes:

  • 1. Being the audited and unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to equity holders as at the respective year/period end date as extracted from the respective annual/interim results announcement published by EE.

  • 2. Representing the average closing EE Share price during the period from the trading day following the publication by EE of its audited annual results or unaudited interim results (as the case may be) to the trading day on which the subsequent unaudited interim results or audited annual results (as the case may be) were published.

  • 3. Representing the discount of the average closing EE Share price to the net asset value attributable to equity holders per EE Share as at the respective year/period end date.

  • 4. As a result of capital reorganisation became effective on 8 January 2020, every twenty issued and unissued then existing EE Share of HK$0.01 each were consolidated into one consolidated share of HK$0.2 each. For illustrative purpose, the average closing EE Share price for the period from 8 January 2020 to 27 March 2020 is calculated based on the closing price and adjusted by dividing the ratio of the such share consolidation, i.e. 20/1

  • 5. Representing the average closing EE Share price during the period from 21 November 2020, being the trading day following the publication by EE of its unaudited interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2020, to the Last Trading Date

  • 6. Being the Reassessed NAV per EE Share attributable to the EE Shareholders as at 30 September 2020 of approximately HK$3.238 per EE Share calculated based on the Reassessed NAV of approximately HK$3,016.5 million as at 30 September 2020 as set out in Appendix II "Financial information of the EE Group" to this Composite Document and 931,458,010 EE Shares then in issue as at 31 January 2021.

We noted that the EE Shares had been traded at substantial discounts to net asset value attributable to equity holders since the publication of its annual result announcements or interim results announcements for the past five years. It can be seen that the trading price of the EE Shares does not correlate with the changes of the net asset value attributable to equity holders of the EE Group. This may indicate that investors might not have valued the EE Shares based solely on the underlying value of the EE Group's assets.

Despite the Share Offer Price being at (i) a discount of approximately 84.2% to the audited consolidated net asset value per EE Share attributable to the EE Shareholders as at 31 March 2020; (ii) a discount of approximately 84.0% to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per EE Share attributable to the EE Shareholders as at 30 September 2020; and (iii) a discount of approximately 84.6% to the Reassessed NAV per EE Share attributable to the EE Shareholders as at 30 September 2020, we have taken into account that the EE Shares had traded at substantial discounts to net asset value attributable to equity holders for the past five years, we consider the Share Offer Price is, on balance, fair and reasonable from this perspective.

Note 1:

20 trading days were included in the month of February 2020 as the Review Period commenced on 3 February

2020.

Note 2:

It was up to and including the Latest Practicable Date as part of the Review Period.

Note 3:

Based on number of issued EE Shares in the respective month/period.

Note 4:

Based on the number of EE Shares held by the public EE Shareholders in the respective month/period.

As set out in the table above, the average daily trading volume of the EE Shares during the Review Period ranged from approximately 255,415 EE Shares (January 2021) to approximately 6,930,222 Shares (February 2020), representing (i) approximately 0.03% to approximately 0.74% of the total number of the EE Shares in issue; and (ii) approximately 0.04% to approximately 1.06% of the total number of the EE Shares held by public. The average daily trading volume of EE Shares during the Review Period was generally thin.

Given the relatively thin historical average daily trading volume of the EE Shares, it is uncertain that the overall liquidity of the EE Shares could be maintained and that there would be sufficient liquidity in the EE Shares for the Independent EE Shareholders to dispose of a significant number of EE Shares in the open market without exerting a downward pressure on the EE Share price. We, therefore, consider that the Share Offer provides the Independent EE Shareholders with an assured exit if they wish to realise their investments in the EE Shares.

4. Comparable companies' analysis

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Share Offer Price, we have conducted analysis on the price-to-earnings ratio (the "P/E ratio(s)") and the price-to-book ratios (the "P/B ratio(s)") of companies which are listed on the Stock Exchange and are engaged in similar businesses to those of the Group for comparison purposes. However, we noted that the EE Group recorded a loss for FY2020. We therefore considered that price to earning analysis is not available.

In assessing the P/B ratio of EE, we have taken into consideration the Reassessed NAV of approximately HK$3,016.5 million as at 30 September 2020. On this basis, the implied P/B ratio of the Offer, calculated based on the total value of EE under the Share Offer, being approximately HK$465.7 million, divided by the Reassessed NAV of approximately HK$3,016.5 million, would be approximately 0.15 times (the "Reassessed P/B ratio").

For the purpose of our comparable analysis, we have identified comparable companies based on the following criteria: (i) the shares of which are listed on the Stock Exchange; (ii) engages in principal business similar to those of the EE Group namely, the property investment business and generated over 70% of its total revenue for the latest completed financial year from the property investment business; (iii) the investment properties located mainly in Hong Kong; and (iv) a market capitalisation of not more than HK$2 billion as at the Latest Practicable Date. Based on the such criteria, we have identified, to the best of our knowledge, an exhaustive list of 9 comparable companies (the "Comparable Companies"). The table below sets out the P/B ratio of each of the Comparable Companies and the

Reassessed P/B ratio of the EE Group.

Note 1:

In respect of the Comparable Companies, market capitalisation is calculated based on the respective closing price as quoted on the Stock Exchange and the number of issued shares based on published information as at the Latest Practicable Date; in respect of EE, market capitalisation is calculated based on the Share Offer Price of HK$0.50 and 931,458,010 Shares in issue.

Note 2:

Calculated by dividing the respective market capitalisation by the respective consolidated equity attributable to the ordinary shareholders, as extracted from the latest published financial statements.

Note 3:

Calculated by the Share Offer Price multiplied by number of EE Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date and divided by the equity attributable to owners of EE as at 30 September 2020 and the Reassessed NAV, respectively.

The P/B ratios of the Comparable Companies ranged from approximately 0.15 times to 0.48 times, with an average and median of approximately 0.28 times and 0.24 times, respectively. Based on their respective latest published annual/interim reports, the equity attributable to its owners recorded by the Comparable Companies ranged from approximately HK$578.3 million to approximately HK$11,556.7 million. The P/B ratio and Reassessed P/B ratio of EE are approximately 0.16 times and 0.15 times, respectively. Both of the P/B ratio and the Reassessed P/B ratio of EE as represented by the Share Offer Price are lower than both the mean and median of the P/B ratios of the Comparable Companies. Based on the results of the above comparable analysis, the Share Offer Price is not fair and reasonable in this regard.

5. Information about the Easyknit Group and the intention of Easyknit regarding the EE Group

The following information about the intention of Easyknit regarding the EE Group has been extracted from the "Letter from Altus Investments".

(a) Information of the Easyknit Group

As stated in the "Letter from Altus Investments" contained in the Composite Document, the Easyknit Group is principally engaged in property development, property investment, securities investment and loan financing businesses. One of the core businesses of the Easyknit Group is property development. The Easyknit Group has extensive experience in property redevelopment, in particular, acquisition of old buildings for renewal and redevelopment. Another core business of the Easyknit Group is property investment. The Easyknit Group's investment properties comprise residential, commercial and industrial properties in Hong Kong. The Offeror is a company incorporated in Hong Kong with limited liability and is directly wholly-owned by Easyknit.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it held 275,687,665 EE Shares, representing approximately 29.60% of the issued EE Shares.

(b) Intention of the Offeror regarding the EE Group

The Offeror adopts the approach of Easyknit, which is understood to be as follows:

Easyknit does not at present and in the near term intend to dispose of or redeploy the assets of the EE Group other than in the ordinary course of business and has no intention to change the existing management of the EE Group. On completion of the Share Offer, EE, which is at present recognised as an associate in the books of Easyknit will become a subsidiary of Easyknit and Easyknit will review with EE Board their respective businesses and operations and whether changes are desirable in order to maximise efficiencies and exploit possible synergies. If any changes are proposed as a result of that review, they will be made in compliance with the Listing Rules and (if relevant at the time) the Takeovers Code.

It is also the intention of Easyknit that the business of the EE Group, employment of the existing employees of the EE Group and the directorship of the existing directors of the EE Group will be continued following completion of the Share Offer except for changes which may occur in the ordinary course of business.

(c) Public float and maintaining the listing status of EE

The Offeror does not intend to avail itself of any powers of compulsory acquisition in respect of EE under the provisions of the laws of Bermuda. The Offeror intends the EE Shares to remain listed on the Stock Exchange after the close of the Share Offer. According to the Listing Rules, if, at the close of the Share Offer, less than 25% of the issued EE Shares are held by the public or if the Stock Exchange believes that (i) a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the EE Shares or (ii) there are insufficient EE Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market, then the Stock Exchange will consider exercising its discretion to suspend dealings in the EE Shares.

Easyknit intends that EE will remain listed on the Stock Exchange. The EE Directors will undertake to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure that sufficient public float exists in the EE Shares in the event that the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it acquire more than 75% of the issued EE Shares.

Upon completion of the Share Offer, there may be insufficient public float for the EE Shares, and trading in the EE Shares may be suspended until the prescribed level of public float is attained.

RECOMMENDATION

Notwithstanding that

(i) the EE Group recorded a revenue growth and gross profit growth of approximately 29.7% and 29.7%, respectively, for the year ended 31 March 2020;

  • (ii) the EE recorded a revenue growth and gross profit growth of approximately 3.5% and 4.5%, respectively, for the six months ended 30 September 2020;

  • (iii) Easyknit is prudently optimistic about the long-term prospects of the property market; and

  • (iv) both of the P/B ratio and the Reassessed P/B ratio of EE as represented by the Share Offer Price are lower than the mean and median of the P/B ratios of the Comparable Companies,

we have also considered all the below factors as a whole, in particular that:

(i) the Share Offer Price of HK$0.50 represents (a) a premium of approximately 23.5% over the closing price of HK$0.405 per EE Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date; (b) a premium of approximately 22.85% over the average daily closing price of approximately HK$0.407 per EE Share for the Review Period; (c) a premium of approximately 24.07% over the average daily closing price per EE Share during the recent 30 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date; (d) a premium of approximately 31.93% over the average daily closing price per EE Share during the recent 60 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date; and (e) a premium of approximately 43.68% over the average daily closing price per EE Share during the recent 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Date;

  • (ii) our analysis of the prospects and outlook of the Hong Kong property market as set out under paragraph headed "1 (b) Prospects and outlook of the Hong Kong property market" in relation to the recent development of Hong Kong property market and the uncertainties, in particular the impact of the Sino-U.S. trade dispute and the COVID-19 pandemic, to the value of and the rental income from the Hong Kong properties in the upcoming future;

  • (iii) the intention of the Easyknit Group to continue with the EE Group's existing principal business activities, which recorded a significant unaudited net loss for the six months ended 30 September 2020 of approximately HK$64.6 million and an audited net loss for the year ended 31 March 2020 of approximately HK$206.2 million and the uncertainties in the future performance of the EE Group, together with our detailed analysis of the EE Group's historical financial performance and position, are set out under paragraph headed "(a) Historical financial information of the EE Group". It is also noted that while maintaining the listing status of EE on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange, the Easyknit Group does not intend to introduce any major changes to the existing business and operation of the EE Group following the close of the Share Offer;

(iv) the historical trading volume of the EE Shares was relatively thin during the Review Period, the Share Offer provides the Independent EE Shareholders with an assured exit if they wish to realise their investments in the EE Shares;

  • (v) there were no dividends were paid, declared or proposed by EE for the past 10 years; and

  • (vi) although the Share Offer Price of HK$0.50 represents (i) a discount of approximately 84.0% to the unaudited consolidated net asset value per EE Share attributable to the EE Shareholders as at 30 September 2020 of approximately HK$3.118 per EE Share; and (ii) a discount of approximately 84.6% to the Reassessed NAV per EE Share attributable to the EE Shareholders as at 30 September 2020 of approximately HK$3.238 per EE Share, we noted that the EE Shares had traded at substantial discounts to the net asset value attributable to equity holders since the publication of its annual result announcements or interim results announcements for the past five years ranging from a minimum discount of approximately 87.8% to a maximum discount of approximately 97.3%, details of which are set out in the paragraph headed "Historical trading price against net asset value per EE Share" and therefore we consider the prevailing market price is more relevant in determining the fairness and reasonableness of the Share Offer Price and it is noted that the majority of the EE Group's non-current assets as at 30 September 2020 comprised of investment properties which are not readily realisable into cash, and that the Share Offer Price represents a premium to the closing EE Share price as at the Last Trading Date and the average closing EE Share price for the Review Period respectively,

we are of the opinion that terms of the Share Offer are, on balance, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent EE Shareholders are concerned. Accordingly, we recommend the EE Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent EE Shareholders to accept the Share Offer. In view of the volatility of market conditions, those Independent EE Shareholders who intend to accept the Share Offer are reminded that they should closely monitor the market price and the liquidity of the EE Shares during the Offer Period and should consider selling their EE Shares in the open market, rather than accepting the Share Offer, if the net proceeds from the sale of such EE Shares in the open market would exceed the net proceeds receivable under the Share Offer.

The Independent EE Shareholders should also consider and monitor the trading volume of the EE Shares during the Offer Period as, having taken into account the relatively thin historical trading volume of the EE Shares on the Stock Exchange as discussed in the section headed "3. Liquidity of the EE Shares" of this letter, they may experience difficulty in disposing of their EE Shares in the open market without creating downward pressure on the price of the EE Shares.

As each individual Independent EE Shareholder would have different investment objectives and/or circumstances, we would advise the EE Independent Board Committee to recommend the Independent EE Shareholders who may require advice in relation to any aspect of the Composite Document, or as to the action to be taken, to consult a licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant, tax adviser or other professional adviser. Furthermore, they should carefully read the procedures for accepting the Share Offer as set out in the Composite Document, its appendices and the accompanying Form of Acceptance.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of Red Sun Capital Limited

2. SETTLEMENT UNDER THE SHARE OFFER

Subject to the Share Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects and provided that a duly completed Form of Acceptance and the relevant share certificate(s) and/or transfer receipt(s) and/or any other document(s) of title (and/or any indemnity or indemnities required in respect thereof) in respect of the relevant EE Shares as required by Note 1 to Rule 30.2 of the Takeovers Code are complete and in good order in all respects and have been received by the Registrar before the close of the Share Offer, a cheque for the amount due to each of the EE Shareholders who accepts the Share Offer less seller's ad valorem stamp duty in respect of the EE Shares tendered by him under the Share Offer will be despatched to such EE Shareholder by ordinary post at his own risk as soon as possible but in any event within seven (7) Business Days following the later of (i) the date on which the Share Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects; and (ii) the date of receipt of a duly completed Form of Acceptance together with all of the relevant document(s) by the Registrar to render such acceptance under the Share Offer valid.

Settlement of the consideration to which any EE Shareholder is entitled under the Share Offer will be implemented in full in accordance with the terms of the Share Offer (save in respect of the payment of the seller's ad valorem stamp duty) without regard to any lien, right of set-off, counterclaim or other analogous right to which the Offeror may otherwise be, or claim to be, entitled against such EE Shareholder.

No fraction of a cent will be payable and the amount of consideration payable to an EE Shareholder who accepts the Share Offer will be rounded down to the nearest cent.

Cheque(s) not presented for payment within six (6) months from the date of issue of the relevant cheque(s) will not be honoured and be of no further effect, and in such circumstances cheque holders should contact the Offeror for payment.

3. ACCEPTANCE PERIOD AND REVISIONS

Unless the Share Offer is revised or extended in accordance with the Takeovers Code, to be valid the Form of Acceptance must be received by the Registrar, in each case, in accordance with the instructions printed thereon and in this Composite Document by 4:00 p.m. on the Closing Date.

If the Share Offer is revised or extended, the Offeror will issue an announcement in relation to such revision or extension of the Share Offer, which announcement will either state the next Closing Date or, if the Share Offer has become or been declared unconditional as to acceptances, include a statement that the Share Offer will remain open until further notice. In the latter case, at least fourteen (14) days' notice in writing must be given, before the Share Offer is closed, to those EE Shareholders who have not accepted the relevant Share Offer. If, in the course of the Share Offer, the Offeror revises the terms of the Share Offer, all the EE Shareholders, whether or not they have already accepted the Share Offer, will be entitled to accept the revised Share Offer under the revised terms. Any revised Share Offer must be kept open for at least fourteen (14) days, and shall not be closed earlier than Friday, 16 April 2021. In any case where the Share Offer is revised, and the consideration offered under each of the revised Share Offer does not represent on such date a reduction in the value of the Share Offer in its original or any previously revised form(s), the benefit of such revised Share Offer will be made available as set out herein to acceptors of the Share Offer in its original or any previously revised form(s) (hereinafter called "previous acceptor(s)"). The execution by, or on behalf of, a previous acceptor of any Form of Acceptance shall be deemed to constitute acceptance of the Share Offer as so revised.

The Offeror may introduce new conditions to be attached to any revision to the terms of the Share Offer, or any subsequent revision thereof, but only to the extent necessary to implement the revised Share Offer and subject to the consent of the Executive.

If the Closing Date is extended, any reference in this Composite Document and in the Form of Acceptance to the Closing Date shall, except where the context otherwise requires, be deemed to refer to the subsequent Closing Date.

There is no obligation on the Offeror to extend the Share Offer if the Conditions are not satisfied by the First Closing Date (being Friday, 16 April 2021).

4. NOMINEE REGISTRATION

To ensure equality of treatment of all the EE Shareholders, those EE Shareholders who hold EE Shares as nominee on behalf of more than one beneficial owner should, as far as practicable, treat the holding of each beneficial owner separately. It is essential for the beneficial owners of the EE Shares whose investments are registered in the names of nominees to provide instructions to their nominees of their intentions with regard to the Share Offer. Acceptance of the Share Offer by any nominee will be deemed to constitute a warranty by such nominee to the Offeror that the number of EE Shares it has indicated in the Form of Acceptance is the aggregate number of EE Shares for which such nominee has received authorisations from the beneficial owners to accept the Share Offer on their behalf.

5. ANNOUNCEMENTS

An announcement will be made when the Share Offer becomes or is declared unconditional (whether as to acceptances or in all respects) and when the Share Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects.

By 6:00 p.m. on the Closing Date (or such later time(s) and/or date(s) as the Executive may in exceptional circumstances permit), the Offeror must inform the Executive and the Stock Exchange of its decision in relation to the revision, extension, expiry or unconditionality of the Share Offer. The Offeror must publish an announcement in accordance with the Listing Rules on the Stock Exchange's website by 7:00 p.m. on the Closing Date stating the results of the Share Offer and whether the Share Offer has been revised, extended, expired or has become or been declared unconditional (whether as to acceptances or in all respects). The announcement will state the following:

  • (a) the total number of EE Shares for which acceptances of the Share Offer has been received;

  • (b) the total number of EE Shares held, controlled or directed by the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it before the Offer Period;

  • (c) the total number of EE Shares acquired or agreed to be acquired during the Offer Period by the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it; and

  • (d) details of any relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) in EE which the Offeror and any of the parties acting in concert with it have borrowed or lent, save for any borrowed EE Shares which have been either on-lent or sold.

The announcement will specify the percentages of the issued share capital, and the percentages of voting rights, represented by these numbers of EE Shares.

In computing the total number of EE Shares represented by acceptances, only valid acceptances that are complete, in good order and fulfil the conditions set out in this Appendix I, and which have been received by the Registrar by no later than 4:00 p.m. on the Closing Date, being the latest time and date for acceptance of the Share Offer, shall be included.

As required under the Takeovers Code, all announcements in relation to the Share Offer will be made in accordance with the requirements of the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules.

If any of the Offeror, parties acting in concert with the Offeror or their respective advisers make any statement during the Offer Period about the level of acceptances or the number or percentage of accepting EE Shareholders, the Offeror must make an immediate announcement in compliance with Note 2 to Rule 19 of the Takeovers Code.

6. RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL

The Share Offer is conditional upon the fulfilment (or where permitted, waiver) of the Conditions set out in the "Letter from Altus Investments" in this Composite Document. Acceptances of the Share Offer tendered by the EE Shareholders, shall be irrevocable and cannot be withdrawn, except in the circumstances set out in this paragraph and the paragraph below. Rule 17 of the Takeovers Code provides that an acceptor of the Share Offer shall be entitled to withdraw his acceptance after twenty-one (21) days from the First Closing Date (being Friday, 16 April 2021) if the Share Offer has not by then become unconditional as to acceptances and up to the earlier of such time as the Share Offer becomes or is declared unconditional as to acceptances and 4:00 p.m. on the 60th day from the date of despatch of this Composite Document (being Tuesday, 25 May 2021 (or the date beyond which the Offeror has stated that the Share Offer will not be extended, if applicable)).

Under Rule 19.2 of the Takeovers Code, if the Offeror is unable to comply with the requirements set out in the paragraph headed "5. Announcements" in this Appendix I above, the Executive may require that the EE Shareholders who have tendered acceptances to the Share Offer be granted a right of withdrawal on terms that are acceptable to the Executive until the requirements set out in that section are met.

7. HONG KONG STAMP DUTY

Seller's ad valorem stamp duty at a rate of 0.1% of the market value of the EE Shares or consideration payable by the Offeror in respect of the relevant acceptances of the Share Offer, whichever is higher (rounded up to the nearest HK$1.00), will be deducted from the amount payable to the relevant EE Shareholder on acceptance of the Share Offer. The Offeror will arrange for payment of the seller's ad valorem stamp duty on behalf of the accepting EE Shareholders in connection with the acceptance of the Share Offer and the transfer of the EE Shares.

8. GENERAL

  • (a) All communications, notices, Forms of Acceptance, share certificate(s), transfer receipt(s), document(s) of title and/or documentary evidence of authority (and/or any indemnity or indemnities required in respect thereof) if delivered by or sent to or from the EE Shareholders or their designated agents by post, shall be posted at their own risk, and none of the Offeror, EE, Altus Investments and any of their respective directors, the Registrar or any other parties involved in the Share Offer and any of their respective agents accepts any liability for any loss or delay in postage or any other liabilities that may arise as a result thereof.

  • (b) The provisions set out in the Form of Acceptance form part of the terms and conditions of the Share Offer.

The Board of Directors

Eminence Enterprise Limited Block A, 7th Floor,

Hong Kong Spinners Industrial Building, Phase 6, 481-483 Castle Peak Road,

Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Dear Sirs,

In accordance with your instruction for us to value the property(ies) in Hong Kong and the PRC of "Eminence Enterprise Limited" (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together with the Company, the "Group"), we confirm that we have inspected the property(ies), made relevant enquiries and investigations as well as obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing our opinion of value of those interests as at 31 January 2021 (the "Valuation Date"). For the purpose of Rule 11.1(f) of the Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "Takeovers Code"), we understand that value of the consolidated property assets of the Company represents 50% or more of the book value of the Company's consolidated total assets. We also understand that there is no other property which is held by the associated companies of the Company such that it is subject to a valuation report under Rule 11.1(f) of the Takeovers Code.

Basis of Value

Our valuation is our opinion of the market value of the property(ies) which 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". Our valuations have been prepared in accordance with "HKIS Valuation Standards 2020" published by "The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors" ("HKIS"), "RICS Valuation - Global Standards" published by the "Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors" ("RICS"), relevant provisions in the Companies Ordinance and the "Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited" (Main Board) published by "The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited" ("HKEx"), and Rule 11 of the Takeovers Code. Market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes 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 special value. The market value of a property is also estimated without regard to costs of sale and purchase, and without offset for any associated taxes.

Approach to Value

Hong Kong property(ies)

In our valuation, we have valued the tenanted portions of the property(ies) on the basis of capitalisation of net rental income derived from the existing tenancies with allowance onto the reversionary interest of the properties and made reference to comparable market transactions. In valuing the portions of property(ies) which are either vacant or owner-occupied, we have employed the direct comparison method whereby comparisons based on transactions on actual sales of comparable property have been made. Comparable property with similar character, location, sizes and so on are analyzed and carefully weighed against all respective advantages and disadvantages of the property(ies) in order to arrive at the fair comparison of values.

PRC property

In the absence of sufficient comparables for comparison, we have adopted the cost approach which "provides an indication of value using the economic principle that a buyer will pay no more for an asset than the cost to obtain an asset of equal utility, whether by purchase or by construction, unless undue time, inconvenience, risk or other factors are involved. The approach provides an indication of value by calculating the current replacement or reproduction cost of an asset and making deductions for physical deterioration and all other relevant forms of obsolescence". Our valuation of the property is assessed based on "depreciated replacement cost" ("DRC") which is "the current cost of replacing an asset with its modern equivalent asset less deductions for physical deterioration and all relevant forms of obsolescence and optimisation". In our valuation, no consideration has been taken into account of alternative use(s) or development option(s); nor have we considered any redevelopment potential of the property.

Title Investigation

Hong Kong property(ies)

We have conducted land search at the Land Registry but we have not searched the original documents to ascertain ownership nor to verify any lease amendments which may not appear on the copies handed to us. All documents have been used for reference purposes and all dimensions, measurements and areas are therefore approximations.

PRC property

The property is located in the "People's Republic of China" (the "PRC"), and we have been given extracted copy(ies) of relevant title document(s) for the property but we have not checked the title(s) to the property nor scrutinized the original title document(s). We have relied on the advice given by the Group and her legal adviser on the laws of the PRC, "DeHeng Law Offices" (hereinafter referred to as the "PRC Legal Adviser") regarding title(s) to and ownership of the property. For the purpose of our valuation, we have taken the legal opinion prepared by the PRC Legal Adviser into account, in particular title(s), ownership, encumbrances and so on of the property. While we have exercised our professional judgement in arriving at our valuation, you are urged to consider our valuation assumptions with caution.

Valuation Consideration

Having examined all relevant documents, we have relied to a considerable extent on the information given by the Group, particularly planning approval(s) or statutory notice(s), easement(s), land-use rights' term(s), site and floor areas, development option(s), development costs' expended and to be expended, presale and sales status, occupancy status as well as in the identification of the property(ies). We have had no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group and "DeHeng Law Offices" (hereinafter referred to as the "PRC Legal Adviser"), and we have been advised that no material fact has been omitted from the information provided. We have not carried out detailed on-site measurement to verify the correctness of the site and floor areas of the property(ies) but we have assumed that the site and floor areas shown on the document(s) handed to us are accurate and reliable. All dimension(s), measurement(s) and area(s) included in our valuation report are based on the information contained in the document(s) provided to us and are therefore approximations.

An inspection of the property(ies) and surrounding environment in Hong Kong, but not in any form of a building survey, was carried out by Sr. Eric W. L. Tang MRICS RICS Registered Valuer and Mr. Jeff M.C. Liu BSc(Hons) on 9th February 2021; whilst an inspection of the property and surrounding environment in PRC, but not in any form of a building survey, was carried out by Ms. Lucy H. R. LU CREA on 4th February 2021. During the course of our inspection, no serious defect was noted; and the condition of the properties is considered to be reasonable commensurate to their age and use. Air-conditioning system and automatic sprinkler system as well as supply of electricity, water and drainage are all available throughout the properties. But we must stress that we have not carried out any structural survey nor have we inspected the woodwork or other parts of the structures of the properties which were covered, unexposed or inaccessible to us. We are therefore unable to report whether such parts of the properties is free from any structural or non-structural defect.

Valuation Assumption

Our valuation has been made on the assumption that the property(ies) could be sold in the prevailing market in their existing state assuming sale with vacant possession and without the effect of any deferred term contract, leaseback, joint venture or any other similar arrangement which may serve to affect the value of the property(ies) unless otherwise noted or specified. In addition, no account has been taken into of any option or right of pre-emption concerning or affecting the sale of the property(ies).

In our valuation, we have assumed that the owner(s) of the property(ies) has/have free and uninterrupted rights to use and assign the property(ies) during the unexpired land-use rights' term(s) granted subject to payment of usual land-use fee(s). Our valuations for the property(ies) are carried out on the basis of a cash purchase, and no allowance has been made for interest(s) and/or funding cost(s) in relation to the sale or purchase of the property(ies).

We had carried out on-site inspection of the property(ies) but no soil investigation has been carried out to determine the suitability of ground condition or building services for any property development erected on the property(ies). Our valuation has been carried out on the assumption that these aspects are satisfactory.

Our value assessment of the property(ies) is the value estimated without regard to cost(s) of sale or purchase or transaction and without offset for any associated tax(es) or potential tax(es). Any transaction cost(s) or encumbrances such as mortgage, debenture or other charges against the property(ies) has/have been disregarded. In our valuation, we have assumed that the properties are free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which may serve to affect the value of the properties.

POTENTIAL TAX LIABILITIES

As advised by the Group, the potential tax liabilities which may arise from the sale of the property interests include:

a. Property interests located in Hong Kong:

i. Ad valorem stamp duty ("AVD") on consideration or value of the property (whichever is the higher) at tax rates as follows:

The buyer, the seller, and any person who uses the instrument will be jointly and severally liable to pay AVD, be it calculated at Scale 1 or Scale 2 rates. In other words, the buyer, the seller and any person who uses the instrument will have the same extent of liability, under the law, to pay for any AVD payable on the chargeable instruments, irrespective of any agreement to the contrary made between them.

ii.

Profit tax on the profit from the sale of property at tax rates as follows:

Assessable profits up to HK$2,000,000

8.25%

Any part of assessable profits over HK$2,000,000

b. Property interests located in the PRC:

  • i. Value added tax on the consideration at a rate of 9% (plus a surcharge);

  • ii. Corporate income tax on the profit from the sale of property at rate of 25%; and

  • iii. Land value appreciation tax on appreciated land value at progressive tax rates as follows:

More than 50% but not more than 100%

40%

For the property interests held by the Group, it is continued to be held by the Group and with no intention for disposal. Hence, the likelihood of any potential tax liabilities of these property interests being crystallized is remote.
