    Projects in Shenzhen


    The Group has four property projects under pre-sale in Shenzhen. As at 10 November 2015, 111,833 sq. m., involving a total of 1,444 units, were subject to the Seizure by PRC local courts upon the application of the Group's creditors, and therefore they are not available for sale. A total of 76,897 sq. m. GFA, involving a total of 732 units remain subject to the Blockage. The Company is given to understand that the principal reason for the residual Blockage is to protect the interest of the buyers of these units, who have only entered into provisional sale and purchase agreements with the Group. The following table provides a breakdown of the Blockage and the Seizure by project:

    Notes:


    1. Data as at 30 June 2014.


    2. The property project was first subject to the Blockage on 28 November 2014. The relevant Blockage was temporarily lifted on 2 December 2014 and reimposed on 3 December 2014.


    3. The remaining GFA of the above property projects which is not subject to the Blockage or the Seizure represents (a) the units which have been sold by the Group and the relevant transactions have been filed and/or registered with the relevant government authority in the PRC; or (b) the units which have not met the pre-sale requirements under PRC law and therefore are not available for pre-sale.


    4. The Group is in active discussion with the creditors, with an aim to resume sales of these four property projects in Shenzhen as soon as possible.


    5. Onshore creditors

    6. The Company has had extensive negotiations with its onshore creditors on the restructuring of the Group's liabilities. The key terms for the restructuring that the Group would hope to achieve are: (1) No principal reduction; (2) Three-year maturity extension, with the exception of secured loans against investment properties; (3) For facilities with sufficient collateral, repayment shall be in line with sales progress; (4) For facilities without sufficient collateral, repayment shall be based on a combination of (i) amortization based on sales progress and (ii) bullet repayment at maturity; (5) Creditors are encouraged to reduce finance costs, details of which should be tailored for unique creditor circumstances as appropriate; (6) Creditors are required to withdraw all litigation/arbitration/enforcement proceedings and 'unfreeze' assets.
