CONNECTED TRANSACTION

DISPOSAL OF 100% OF EQUITY INTEREST IN YUEYUN LANGRI

PROPERTY

THE EQUITY TRANSFER AGREEMENT

The Board is pleased to announce that, on 12 December 2019, Guangdong Yueyun Langri (a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), and Yueyun Investment Management (a wholly-owned subsidiary of GCGC), entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to dispose of, and Yueyun Investment Management has agreed to acquire, 100% of the equity interest in the Target Company, following completion of the public tender on Guangdong United Assets and Equity Exchange.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, GCGC is the controlling shareholder of the Company as it, directly or indirectly, holds approximately 74.12% of the total issued share capital of the Company. Therefore, GCGC is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Yueyun Investment Management is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GCGC and therefore is a connected person of the Company.

As the highest applicable percentage ratios calculated in accordance with the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal exceed 0.1% but is less than 5%, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction of the Company which is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but is exempt from independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

INTRODUCTION

The Board is pleased to announce that, on 12 December 2019, Guangdong Yueyun Langri (a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), and Yueyun Investment Management (a wholly-owned subsidiary of GCGC), entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has agreed to dispose of, and Yueyun Investment Management has agreed to acquire, 100% of the equity interest in the Target Company, following completion of the public tender on Guangdong United Assets and Equity Exchange.

THE EQUITY TRANSFER AGREEMENT

The principal terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are as follows:

Date

12 December 2019

Parties

  1. Guangdong Yueyun Langri (as seller); and
  2. Yueyun Investment Management (as purchaser).

Subject Matter

Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, Guangdong Yueyun Langri has agreed to dispose of, and Yueyun Investment Management has agreed to acquire, 100% of the equity interest in the Target Company, subject to the terms and conditions thereof.

Consideration

Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Consideration for the Disposal is RMB28,904,310, which shall be paid to Guangdong Yueyun Langri by Guangdong United Assets and Equity Exchange within 3 business days after its receipt from Yueyun Investment Management of:

  1. the earnest money in the amount of RMB9,630,000, paid by Yueyun Investment Management to Guangdong United Assets and Equity Exchange for participation in the tender process; and
  2. the remaining balance in the amount of RMB19,274,310, payable by Yueyun Investment Management in one lump sum through a designated settlement account of Guangdong United Assets and Equity Exchange within 5 business days after the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

The Consideration was determined through public tender on Guangdong United Assets and Equity Exchange in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures. The minimum tender price of the public tender was RMB28,904,310, which was determined with reference to (i) the audited net asset value of the Target Company as at 31 December 2018 of approximately RMB21,032,414.90; and (iii) the appraised value of the total shareholders' equity of the Target Company as at the Valuation Date (being 30 June 2018) of approximately RMB32,115,900 determined based on asset-based approach and as set out in the Valuation Report.

Completion

Completion shall take place upon completion of the registration of change in respect of the Disposal with the relevant industry and commerce administration authority in the PRC, which shall be completed within 30 days from the date of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

Upon Completion, Yueyun Investment Management shall be entitled to the profits or losses of the Target Company for the period between the Valuation Date and the date of the Completion.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL

As at the date of this announcement, Guangdong Yueyun Langri is held by the Company as to 51% and 100% of the equity interest in the Target Company is held by Guangdong Yueyun Langri. Upon Completion, Guangdong Yueyun Langri will cease to have an interest in the Target Company and therefore, the Target Company will cease to be an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

It is estimated that the Group will recognise a gain of approximately RMB7,953,200 from the Disposal, which is calculated based on the difference between (i) the Consideration; and (ii) the carrying value of 100% of the equity interest held by Guangdong Yueyun Langri in the Target Company.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The Group is principally engaged in the provision of travel service. The principal businesses of the Target Company, being property development and property-related businesses, are not in line with the existing principal businesses and future development plan of the Group. The Disposal enables the Group to focus on its principal businesses and it is estimated that the Group will also realise a gain on the Disposal.

The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms which are fair and reasonable, and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
