The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things: (i) further information on the Special Deal Agreements; (ii) a letter of advice from the LR Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Warehouses Sale Agreement, the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement and the Framework Services Agreement; (iii) a letter of advice from the Code Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Special Deal Agreements; (iv) a letter of advice from Somerley to the Independent Board Committees and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Special Deal Agreements; (v) the independent valuation report on the Target Warehouses; and (vi) a notice convening the SGM.

THE SPECIAL DEAL AGREEMENTS

Warehouses Sale Agreement

On 25 March 2021 (after trading hours), in connection with the Partial Offer and the Option Offer, Kerry Warehouse (HK) Holdings Limited (as vendor), the Company (as vendor guarantor), UrbanTreasure Holdings Limited (as purchaser) and Kerry Holdings (as purchaser guarantor) entered into the Warehouses Sale Agreement. The principal terms of the Warehouses Sale Agreement are set out below:

Date

25 March 2021

Parties

  1. The Company (as the vendor guarantor);
  2. Kerry Warehouse (HK) Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (as the vendor);
  3. Kerry Holdings (as the purchaser guarantor); and
  4. Urban Treasure Holdings Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kerry Holdings (as the purchaser).

Subject Matter

Pursuant to the Warehouses Sale Agreement, the Warehouses Vendor agreed to sell and the Warehouses Purchaser agreed to purchase, all issued shares in the capital of the Target Warehouses Companies together with all rights and benefits attaching to the Target Warehouses Sale Shares (including without limitation the right to all dividends and distributions) on or after the completion date.

Neither the Warehouses Vendor nor the Warehouses Purchaser shall be obliged to complete the sale and purchase of any Target Warehouses Sale Shares unless the sale and purchase of all of the Target Warehouses Sale Shares are completed simultaneously.

- 15 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Consideration

The total consideration for the sale and purchase of theTarget Warehouses Sale Shares is HK$13,500,000,000, which shall be payable by the Warehouses Purchaser to the Warehouses Vendor by way of cashier order or solicitors' cheque at completion of the Warehouses Sale. The consideration was determined after arm's length negotiations between the parties, taking into account (i) the historical financial performance of the Target Warehouses Companies, (ii) the preliminary indication of value of the Target Warehouses conducted by a professional valuer which is independent from the Company and its connected persons and (iii) the outlook for Hong Kong and demand for logistics services.

Consideration adjustments

Immediately prior to completion of the Warehouses Sale, if it is projected that the sum of the net asset value, or the consolidated net asset value, of the Target Warehouses Companies (with the book costs of the Target Warehouses and the carrying value of the other fixed assets of the Target Warehouses Companies replaced by the total consideration of HK$13,500,000,000):

  1. will be greater than the amount of the total consideration, the Warehouses Vendor shall procure that each of the Target Warehouses Companies and the other Warehouses Owners shall declare interim dividends out of retained profits to their respective shareholder(s); or
  2. will be less than the amount of the total consideration, the Warehouses Vendor shall inject such additional capital into the relevant Target Warehouses Company, thereby increasing the share capital of the relevant Target Warehouses Company or the Warehouses Owner but without issuing any new share,

in either case, such that as at completion, the consolidated net asset value of theTarget Warehouses Companies shall be equal to the amount of the total consideration, and the relevant distribution or the relevant injection (as the case may be) shall have been fully reflected in the pro forma completion accounts.

Guarantee

In consideration of the Company and the Warehouses Vendor agreeing to enter into the Warehouses Sale Agreement, Kerry Holdings agrees to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to the Warehouses Vendor and the Company the due and punctual performance and discharge by Warehouses Purchaser of all its obligations and liabilities under any transaction documents contemplated under the Warehouses Sale Agreement or arising out of or in connection with any transaction document contemplated under the Warehouses Sale Agreement.

In consideration of Kerry Holdings and the Warehouses Purchaser agreeing to enter into the Warehouses Sale Agreement, the Company agrees to unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to the Warehouses Purchaser and Kerry Holdings the due and punctual performance and discharge by the Warehouses Vendor of all of its obligation and liabilities under any transaction document contemplated under the Warehouses Sale Agreement or arising out of or in connection with any transaction document contemplated under the Warehouses Sale Agreement.

Conditions

Completion under the Warehouses Sale Agreement is conditional upon:

  1. consent having been obtained from the Executive to the transactions contemplated in the Warehouses Sale Agreement and the Warehouses Management Agreements, where applicable;
    • 16 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the passing of the resolution to approve the Warehouses Sale Agreement and the Warehouses Management Agreements and the transactions contemplated under the Warehouses Sale Agreement and the Warehouses Management Agreements by the Independent Shareholders of the Company at the SGM;
  2. no Target Warehouse having been destroyed, substantially damaged or rendered inaccessible by natural disaster, fire, explosion or other calamity or having been, for any reason, condemned, closed or declared dangerous by relevant government authorities or subject to demolition order(s) or closure order(s), and the reinstatement costs therefor exceeds HK$5,000,000,000; and
  3. the Partial Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects,

(the conditions set out in paragraphs (i) to (iii) above being the "Warehouses Sale Pre-ConditionalConditions").

For the avoidance of doubt, completion under the Warehouses Sale Agreement is not conditional upon the other Special Deal Agreements becoming unconditional. Rather, completion under the Warehouses Sale Agreement is conditional upon, amongst other conditions set out above, the Partial Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects. In turn, it is a pre-condition to the Partial Offer that, amongst other terms, (i) theTaiwan Business Sale Pre-Conditional Conditions have been satisfied (or, where applicable, waived) and there being no event or circumstances which would render any of the Taiwan Business Sale Continuing Conditions incapable of satisfaction; (ii) the Brand Licence Agreements having become unconditional save for the condition relating to the Partial Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects; and (iii) the Shareholders' Agreement having become unconditional save for the condition relating to the Partial Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects.

The condition under the Warehouses Sale Agreement set out in paragraph (iii) above may be waived by the Warehouses Purchaser in its absolute discretion at any time on or before the date on which the Pre-Conditions (other than Pre-Condition (viii) to the extent that it relates to the condition set out in paragraph (iii) above) have been satisfied or (where applicable) waived. If the condition set out in paragraph (iii) above remains satisfied (or has been waived by the Warehouses Purchaser) at the time the Pre-Conditions (other than Pre-Condition (viii) to the extent it relates to the condition set out in paragraph (iii) above) has been satisfied or (where applicable) waived, it shall be deemed fully and irrevocably satisfied or waived (as applicable) as at and from such time, and the Warehouses Sale Agreement and completion thereunder shall no longer be conditional upon such condition. None of the other conditions set out above is waivable.

Following satisfaction or (in respect of condition set out in paragraph (iii) above) waiver by the Warehouses Purchaser of the conditions above, the Warehouses Sale Agreement shall become unconditional and, subject to the parties thereto complying with their respective closing obligations, will not be capable of termination. If the above conditions have not been satisfied or waived by the Warehouses Purchaser on or before the long stop date of the Warehouses Sale Agreement (being 31 December 2021 (or such other date as may be agreed by the Warehouses Vendor and the Warehouses Purchaser)), the Warehouses Sale Agreement shall be terminated. As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the conditions to completion under the Warehouses Sale Agreement had been fulfilled.

Completion

If the Warehouses Sale Agreement becomes unconditional, completion thereunder shall take place on the third business day after the date on which the cheques for the Offer Price have been despatched to Shareholders under the Partial Offer.

- 17 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Pursuant to the Takeovers Code, if the Partial Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects, such cheques shall be despatched as soon as possible, but in any event within seven business days following the close of the Partial Offer. Given completion of the Warehouses Sale Agreement shall take place on the third business day after the date on which the cheques for the Offer Price have been despatched to Shareholders under the Partial Offer, if the Warehouses Sale Agreement becomes unconditional, completion thereunder must take place by no later than the tenth business day following the close of the Partial Offer. As a result, Shareholders will receive the Special Dividend from the Company separately and after receiving the consideration of the Partial Offer from the Offeror.

Financial effects of the Warehouses Sale on the Group

The consideration of the Warehouses Sale is HK$3.46 billion in excess of the net book value of the Target Warehouses Companies in the audited accounts of the Company as at 31 December 2020. Taking into consideration the net proceeds from the Warehouses Sale (after deducting the estimated expenses relating to the Warehouses Sale) of approximately HK$13.4 billion and applying against the audited accounts of the Company as at 31 December 2020 for illustrative purposes, the Group expects to realise a gain upon completion of the Warehouses Sale or approximately HK$3.3 billion, the earnings of the Group to be increased by HK$3.3 billion from the gains arising from the Warehouses Sale, the Group's total assets to be increased by approximately HK$3.3 billion (without taking into account the Special Dividend which is proposed to be paid upon completion of the Warehouses Sale), and the Group's total liabilities to be decreased by HK$44.7 million. The actual amount of the gains to be realised by the Group is subject to audit and will depend on the carrying costs and reclassification adjustments amounts and the transaction costs, and therefore may vary from the amounts mentioned above. The aforesaid estimation is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be after the completion of the Warehouses Sale.

The Target Warehouses Companies will no longer be subsidiaries of the Company and Kerry Warehouse (HK) Holdings Limited following the completion of Warehouses Sale.

- 18 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Proceeds and proposed Special Dividend

Conditional upon completion of the Warehouses Sale (which is in turn conditional upon, amongst other conditions, the Partial Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects), the Company will distribute substantially all of the proceeds from the Warehouses Sale and declare the Special Dividend of HK$7.28 per Share to all those Shareholders who are Shareholders of record on the Record Date (i.e. the date immediately prior to the Final Closing Date, which is after the Partial Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects).

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company's total number of issued Shares was 1,798,978,042, meaning the aggregate amount of the Special Dividend was HK$13,096,560,145.76, representing substantially all of the HK$13,500,000,000 consideration (subject to adjustments) receivable by the Company pursuant to the Warehouses Sale.

As the Special Dividend is conditional upon completion of the Warehouses Sale, the receipt of the consideration for theTarget Warehouses Sale Shares will take place before the payment date of the Special Dividend. The payment date of the Special Dividend will be disclosed in the Composite Document with respect to the Partial Offer, to be despatched by the Offeror in due course. Shareholders will receive the Special Dividend from the Company separately and after receiving the consideration of the Partial Offer from the Offeror.

If the Partial Offer lapses, or if, after the Partial Offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects, the Warehouses Sale Agreement does not complete because the Company, the Controlling Shareholders or their respective subsidiaries breach their respective closing obligations in the Warehouses Sale Agreement, the Special Dividend will not be paid. The Company, the Controlling Shareholders and their respective subsidiaries have no intention of breaching their respective closing obligations in the Warehouses Sale Agreement.

Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Warehouses Sale Agreement

In connection with the Partial Offer, the Warehouses Sale Agreement would allow the Company to reposition itself as an asset-lighter business. This will boost Shareholder returns through the crystallisation of the value of the relevant warehouses and the subsequent distribution of the sale proceeds via the Special Dividend.

The Directors (including the members of the LR Independent Board Committee and the Code Independent Board Committee whose views have been set out in this circular together with the advice of Somerley) believe that the Warehouses Sale and the distribution of the Special Dividend are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and (although not entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group) are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole given the public markets have not previously ascribed meaningful value to the underlying real estate assets held by the Group.

Listing Rules implications

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Warehouses Sale Agreement is 25% or more but all are less than 75%, the Warehouses Sale Agreement constitutes a major transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is therefore subject to the reporting, announcement, and Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

- 19 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As Kerry Holdings is a controlling Shareholder and a connected person of the Company, the Warehouses Sale Agreement also constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and would be subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Takeovers Code implications

The Warehouses Sale Agreement constitutes a special deal in relation to the Partial Offer under Note 4 to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code and requires the consent of the Executive. An application has been made by the Company to the Executive for its consent to proceed with the Warehouses Sale Agreement under Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code. Such consent, if granted, is expected to be subject to (i) the opinion of Somerley that the terms of the Warehouses Sale Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (ii) the approval of the Warehouses Sale Agreement by the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM.

Warehouses Management Agreements

On 25 March 2021 (after trading hours), in connection with the Warehouses Sale, Kerry Warehouse (Hong Kong) Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into nine Warehouses Management Agreements with, respectively, the legal owners of the Target Warehouses to provide Warehouses Management Services for the Target Warehouses. The principal terms of the Warehouses Management Agreements are set out below:

Date

25 March 2021 (as amended on 30 April 2021)

Subject Matter

In connection with the Warehouses Management Agreements, the respective legal owners of the Target Warehouses agreed to appoint and KWHK agreed to accept the appointment as the building manager and leasing agent of the respective Target Warehouses for the provision of Warehouses Management Services during the term of the respective Warehouses Management Agreements. In consideration for such Warehouses Management Services, the relevant legal owners shall pay certain management fees to the Warehouses Manager. In addition, under certain Warehouses Management Agreements, the Warehouses Manager has agreed to guarantee the relevant legal owners of certain Target Warehouses a minimum level of gross revenue during the term of the Warehouses Management Agreements. If the Warehouses Manager is unable to secure tenants for certain Target Warehouses in such Warehouses Management Agreements, the Warehouses Manager shall, as principal, satisfy such minimum guaranteed gross revenue.

The term of each Warehouses Management Agreement is an initial term of three (3) years commencing on the date of completion of the Warehouses Sale in respect of the corresponding Target Warehouses and, subject to the Warehouses Manager having duly performed and observed all terms and conditions of the Warehouses Management Agreements in all material respects, the term is renewable at the option of the Warehouses Manager for a further term of three (3) years. The Warehouses Management Agreements between the relevant parties and the obligations of the relevant parties thereunder would commence on the date of completion of the Warehouses Sale.

- 20 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the avoidance of doubt, the Warehouses Management Agreements will only become effective upon completion of the Warehouses Sale. Commencement of each of the Warehouses Management Agreements is not otherwise subject to other conditionality, including by reference to the Partial Offer or the other Special Deal Agreements.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the condition to the Warehouses Management Agreements becoming effective had not been fulfilled.

date to 31 December 2024, each of the financial years ending 31 December 2025 and 2026, and the period from 1 January 2027 to the sixth anniversary of the commencement date, to be no more than HK$183.3 million, HK$551.0 million, HK$554.0 million and HK$554.0 million, respectively. The Company will consider the applicable percentage ratios in the size tests and comply with the relevant Listing Rules at the time of renewal if the Warehouses Management Agreements are renewed at the option of the Warehouses Manager.

The Company proposes to set the aggregate annual caps for the amounts receivable by the Group from Kerry Holdings Group for the following periods: (i) the period from the commencement date until 31 December 2021, each of the financial years ending 31 December 2022 and 2023, the period from 1 January 2024 to the third anniversary of the commencement date, to be no more than HK$11.3 million, HK$37.4 million, HK$41.6 million and HK$47.8 million respectively; and (ii) if the Warehouses Management Agreements are renewed at the option of the Warehouses Manager, the period from the third anniversary of the commencement date to 31 December 2024, each of the financial years ending 31 December 2025 and 2026, and the period from 1 January 2027 to the sixth anniversary of the commencement date, to be no more than HK$15.9 million, HK$53.4 million, HK$59.7 million and HK$59.7 million, respectively.

The annual caps were determined on an aggregate basis and there is no ceiling on the amount receivable or payable by the Group each year in relation to each of the Warehouses Management Agreements.

The annual caps were determined with reference to the management fees charged by the Group when providing warehouse management services to independent third parties, as well as factors including (i) prevailing and projected market rates for building management fees and fees for operation of the warehouse facilities; and (ii) inflation and expected expansion and development of the Group's and Kerry Holdings' businesses.

Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Warehouses Management Agreements

The Group operates as a leading logistics service provider in Asia principally engaged in the integrated logistics and international freight forwarding businesses. Given its experience in operating warehouses, the Group can leverage on its existing set-up and resources to generate revenue by providing Warehouses Management Services.

The Board considers that due to the long-term relationship between the Group and Kerry Holdings Group, it is beneficial to the Company to enter into the Warehouses Management Agreements as these transactions will facilitate the operation and growth of the Company's business.

The Board (including the members of the Code Independent Board Committee whose views have been set out in this circular together with the advice of Somerley) also considers that the Warehouses Management Agreements and transactions contemplated thereunder are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and are on normal commercial terms, or on terms no less favourable than those available to the Group from independent third parties, which are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Listing Rules implications

Each of the Target Warehouses Companies will be an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Kerry Holdings following completion of the Warehouses Sale. As Kerry Holdings is a Controlling Shareholder and a connected person of the Company, the Warehouses Management Agreements also constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules and would be subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the annual caps of the transactions under the Warehouses Management Agreements will be more than 0.1% but all of them are less than 5%, the Warehouses Management Agreements are subject to reporting, announcement and annual review requirements but exempted from Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The term of each Warehouses Management Agreement is an initial term of three (3) years commencing on the date of completion of the Warehouses Sale, and subject to the Warehouses Manager having duly performed and observed all terms and conditions of the Warehouses Management Agreements in all material respects, the term is renewable at the option of the Warehouses Manager for a further three (3) years.

Takeovers Code implications

The Warehouses Management Agreements constitute a special deal in relation to the Partial Offer under Note 4 to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code and requires the consent of the Executive. An application has been made by the Company to the Executive for consent to proceed with the Warehouses Management Agreements. Such consent, if granted, is expected to be subject to (i) the opinion of Somerley that the terms of the Warehouses Management Agreements are fair and reasonable; and (ii) the approval of the Warehouses Management Agreements by the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM. Somerley has stated in this circular its opinion on whether the terms of the Warehouses Management Agreements are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Internal control procedures in relation to continuing connected transactions

The Company has established an internal control mechanism for monitoring and reporting continuing connected transactions to ensure compliance with Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The finance team of the Company will monitor the continuing connected transactions by communicating regularly with the regional heads of the finance teams of the Group in respect of the terms and pricing policies of the continuing connected transactions, and collecting monthly financial data together with underlying agreements for analysis and reporting. The finance team of the Company will prepare monthly summaries and work closely with the company secretary of the Company to monitor compliance with the annual caps of the continuing connected transactions. These monthly summaries will be made available to the INEDs and the Company's auditors for review periodically, and not less than at least once during each 6-month period. The internal audit team of the Company will carry out annual assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control system.

Closing of theTaiwan Business Sale will take place on the earlier of (i) the seventh business day after the last day on which Shareholders may tender acceptances into the Partial Offer; (ii) the business day immediately before the day on which the Offeror Parent or its wholly-owned subsidiaries become a member on the register of members of the Company upon acquiring the title to the Shares under the Partial Offer, and (iii) such date as Kerry Holdings, the Company and the Offeror Parent may agree which is not to be earlier than immediately prior to the Partial Offer becoming unconditional in all respects.

Consideration

The initial consideration under the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement shall be the USD equivalent of NTD4,537,018,403 (equivalent to approximately HK$1.2 billion) (subject to audited completion accounts adjustments and post-closing adjustments set out below) in cash which shall be payable at closing.

The initial consideration has been determined by arm's length negotiations between the parties taking into account, inter alia, (i) the profit generated by the Taiwan Business, (ii) the historical price and liquidity of the shares of the Taiwan Listco, and (iii) the net debt position of the Taiwan Pure Holding Companies.

Audited completion accounts adjustments

The Company shall prepare consolidated completion accounts (as defined in the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement) in respect of the Taiwan Target Companies and their subsidiaries for the period from 1 January 2021 to the month-end immediately preceding the date of closing (being, the completion accounts reference date) to be audited at the Taiwan Purchaser's costs by the Company's auditors, and delivered to the Taiwan Purchaser within 120 days after closing.

Upon delivery of the audited completion accounts and subject to the net adjustment amount in this paragraph exceeding a de minimis amount of NTD1,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$270,000) (in which case the net adjustment shall be in respect of the full amount and not the excess only), the initial consideration shall be adjusted by reference to the audited completion accounts as follows:

  1. to the extent the aggregate consolidated net asset values (which takes into account the residual deferred consideration and withholding tax provision on retained profits of Da Ji International Ltd., Tong Li Investments Co., Ltd. and where applicable any Taiwan Companies which have adequate retained profits and surplus cash to distribute dividend at the completion accounts reference date to any offshore shareholders, as applicable) of each of the Taiwan Target Companies as set out in the audited completion accounts are less than or exceed the initial consideration of NTD4,537,018,403 (equivalent to approximately HK$1.2 billion), any shortfall shall be deducted from the initial consideration and any excess shall be added to the initial consideration (as the case may be); and

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. deducted on a dollar-for-dollar basis in the event that any contingent liabilities (including, without limitation, unpaid tax liabilities) exist for the Taiwan Pure Holding Companies at the time of the completion accounts reference date which under the Hong Kong Generally Accepted Accounting Principles should be deducted from the net asset values of the relevant companies as of the completion accounts reference date but have not been reflected in the completion accounts. For the avoidance of doubt, if relevant audit adjustment(s) have already been made to the net asset values in the audited completion accounts, no further deductions should be made to the initial consideration.

If the initial consideration is increased pursuant to the adjustments, then the Taiwan Purchaser shall pay the Taiwan Seller; and if the initial consideration is reduced pursuant to the adjustments, the Taiwan Seller shall pay the Taiwan Purchaser, the net adjustment amount within 10 business days after the delivery of the audited completion accounts to the Taiwan Purchaser.

Post-closing adjustments

Following closing of the Taiwan Business Sale, to the extent that any residual deferred consideration (being the portion of consideration which is payable by Taiwan Kerry Investment Company Limited, a member of the Target Group, or its subsidiaries in respect of acquiring 51% of the issued share capital of Direct Logistics Co., Ltd. which falls due after 31 December 2021) does not become payable (whether because the relevant financial thresholds are not met at the relevant times for them to be met, or otherwise), the Taiwan Purchaser shall pay to the Taiwan Seller an amount equal to the amount of the residual deferred consideration that does not become payable. Such payment shall be made by telegraphic transfer within 10 business days after such date on which the amount of residual deferred consideration (the portion of the deferred consideration in the amount of NTD65,634,010 (equivalent to approximately HK$17.7 million) which falls due after 31 December 2021) is finally determined in accordance with the terms of the deferred consideration.

Indemnity

Pursuant to the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement, the Company and Taiwan Seller will jointly and severally indemnify the Taiwan Purchaser for all losses and damages suffered (whether directly or indirectly) as a result of or arising in connection with (i) any breach by the Company or the Taiwan Seller of the representations and warranties under the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement, (ii) any contingent or undisclosed liabilities of any member of the Taiwan Target Companies and their subsidiaries arising from the conduct of their business prior to the closing of the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement (whether material or not, subject to and excluding matters disclosed or has otherwise been disclosed to the Taiwan Purchaser in writing), and (iii) any breach by the Taiwan Seller or the Company of their obligations under the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement.

The Company and the Taiwan Seller will jointly and severally indemnify and at all times keep indemnified (on a full indemnity basis) at the option of the Taiwan Purchaser, each member of the Taiwan Target Companies and their subsidiaries from and against all taxation falling on each member of the Taiwan Target Companies and their subsidiaries (insofar as the Taiwan Listco and/or its subsidiaries is/are concerned, the indemnification amount shall be pro-rated by reference to theTaiwan Purchaser's percentage economic interest in the relevant company) resulting from or by reference to gains or income earned on or before closing, and any and all taxation resulting from the receipt by such member of the Taiwan Target Companies and their subsidiaries of any amounts paid by the Taiwan Seller or its subsidiaries under the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement, and any and all costs reasonably incurred in connection with settlement of claim, legal proceedings or the enforcement of such settlement or judgement.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The unaudited combined net profit before taxation and net profit after taxation attributable to the Taiwan Seller for the two years ended 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2020 have been prepared by combining the unaudited historical financial information of the Taiwan Target Companies on the basis that the Taiwan Target Companies are controlled by the Group, which is consistent in all material respects with the accounting policies adopted by the Directors and used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2019 and 2020, respectively.

The disclosure of unaudited net profits of the Taiwan Target Companies for the two financial years immediately preceding the transaction (the "RequiredTaiwan Financial Information") constitutes a profit forecast under Rule 10 of the Takeovers Code and is required to be reported on by both the Company's financial adviser and auditors in accordance with Rule 10.4 of the Takeovers Code. Please refer to Appendix IV and Appendix V for the respective letters issued by Somerley and the reporting accountants of the Company on the reporting on of the RequiredTaiwan Financial Information.

Financial effects of the Taiwan Business Sale on the Group

Taking into consideration the net proceeds from the Taiwan Business Sale of approximately NTD4.5 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$1.2 billion) and combined net asset value(1) of the Taiwan Business as at 31 December 2020, it is expected that the Taiwan Business Sale will not result in any changes to the retained earnings of the Group given the gain on disposal of the Taiwan Business to be recognised in the profit or loss will be set off by the transfer of acquisition reserves (which is the goodwill arose when the Company increased its equity interests in the Taiwan Listco and the Taiwan Unlisted Business Companies) to the retained earnings upon the completion of the Taiwan Business Sale. The aforesaid estimation is for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be after the closing of the Taiwan Business Sale.

The Taiwan Target Companies will no longer be subsidiaries of the Company and Kerry Logistics Services Limited following the Taiwan Business Sale.

Proceeds

The proceeds from the Taiwan Business Sale, being the USD equivalent of NTD4.5 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$1.2 billion) (subject to audited completion accounts adjustments and post-closing adjustments) are expected to be retained by the Company to support the ongoing growth and development of the Group.

Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement

Due to foreign investment restrictions, the Offeror is restricted from indirectly acquiring interests in Taiwan businesses. The Taiwan Business Sale Agreement is therefore essential to facilitate the Partial Offer and acquisition of interests in the Company by the Offeror. Given the reasons for and benefits of the Partial Offer, the Board (including the members of the LR Independent Board Committee and the Code Independent Board Committee whose views have been set out in the circular after considering the advice of Somerley) considers that the Taiwan Business Sale is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

- 40 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Further, theTaiwan Business Sale presents itself as a good opportunity for the Company to refocus its resources on developing key markets and capture business growth which may arise in the longer run. Accordingly, the Directors (including the members of the LR Independent Board Committee and the Code Independent Board Committee whose views have been set out in this circular after considering the advice of Somerley) consider that the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement is on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and (although not entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group) are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Listing Rules implications

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of theTaiwan Business Sale Agreement is 5% or more but less than 25%, the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and would therefore be subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As Kerry Holdings is a controlling Shareholder and a connected person of the Company, the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement also constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and would be subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Takeovers Code implications

The Taiwan Business Sale Agreement constitutes a special deal in relation to the Partial Offer under Note 4 to Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code. An application has been made by the Company to the Executive for consent to proceed with the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement. Such consent, if granted, is expected to be subject to (i) the opinion of Somerley that the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement are fair and reasonable; and (ii) the approval of the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement by the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM. Somerley has stated in this circular its opinion on whether the terms of the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Historical transaction amounts

No amount was payable by the Group for the use of the KerryTrademarks and Kerry Names for the years ended 31 December 2018, 2019 and 2020.

No amount was payable by the Group for the use of the Kerry Express Trademarks and Kerry Express Names for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019 and HK$100 was paid by KE Thailand for the use of Kerry Express Trademarks and Kerry Express Names for the year ended 2020.

Reasons of and benefits for entering into the Brand Licence Agreements

The Group have adopted the Kerry Trademarks and the Kerry Names across all the international markets in which the Company operates. As the Controlling Shareholders are expected to continue to be involved in the Company as significant Shareholders (i.e., in excess of 30%) after the completion of the Partial Offer and in order for the Company to continue to retain a clear brand identity and culture, the Company has requested the ongoing use of the Kerry Trademarks and the Kerry Names. KE Thailand and its subsidiary have adopted the Kerry Express Trademarks and Kerry Express Names in Thailand and in connection with the Partial Offer, KE Thailand has requested the ongoing use of the Kerry Express Trademarks and Kerry Express Names. The Directors (including the members of the Code Independent Board Committee whose views have been set out in this circular after considering the advice of Somerley) believe that the Brand Licence Agreements are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

Listing Rules implications

As the Licensor is a fellow subsidiary of Kerry Holdings (which in turn is the Controlling Shareholder) and a connected person of the Company, the Brand Licence Agreements constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules. As the licence fee is nominal, the aggregate amounts to be paid by the Company and KE Thailand (as the case may be) to the Licensor under the Brand Licence Agreements will not be, on an annual basis, more than the de minimis threshold of 0.1% during the term of the Brand Licence Agreements. The Brand Licence Agreements would therefore be fully exempt from the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Takeovers Code implications

The Brand Licence Agreements constitute a special deal in relation to the Partial Offer under Rule 25 of the Takeovers Code and requires the consent of the Executive. An application has been made by the Company to the Executive for its consent to proceed with the Brand Licence Agreements. Such consent, if granted, is expected to be subject to (i) the opinion of Somerley that the terms of the Brand Licence Agreements are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned; and (ii) the approval of the Brand Licence Agreements by the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM.

Term

The Framework Services Agreement will commence on the Final Closing Date of the Partial Offer, and will expire on the third anniversary of the Final Closing Date. The Framework Services Agreement can be extended for a further term of three years with the mutual written agreement of the Company and Kerry Holdings.

Annual cap and basis for determining annual cap

The historical transactions between the Group and the Relevant Kerry Holdings Group in relation to the provision of services constitute de minimis transactions which are exempted from the annual reporting, annual review, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. No framework agreement has been entered into between the Company and Kerry Holdings prior to the date of the Framework Services Agreement. Upon completion of the Warehouses Sale Agreement and the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement, the provision of logistics related services and services relating to management and operation of warehouse facilities will be expanded to the Relevant Kerry Holdings Group following the Kerry Holdings Group's acquisition of the Target Warehouses Companies and the Taiwan Target Companies.

The Company proposes to set the aggregate annual caps for the amounts payable by the Group to the Relevant Kerry Holdings Group for the period from the Final Closing Date until 31 December 2021, each of the financial years ending 31 December 2022 and 2023, and the period from 1 January 2024 to the third anniversary of the Final Closing Date to be no more than HK$1,863.6 million, HK$2,162.5 million and HK$1,062.2 million and HK$1,149.7 million, respectively.

The Company proposes to set the aggregate annual caps for the amounts receivable by the Group from the Relevant Kerry Holdings Group for the period from the Final Closing Date until 31 December 2021, each of the financial years ending 31 December 2022 and 2023, and the period from 1 January 2024 to the third anniversary of the Final Closing Date, to be no more than HK$61.8 million, HK$183.2 million, HK$232.2 million and HK$295.9

- 51 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

million, respectively. For the avoidance of doubt, the fees receivable by the Group for the provision of Warehouses Management Services and any amount payable under the Warehouses Management Agreements shall not be subject to the annual caps set out in the Framework Services Agreement.

The annual cap was determined with reference to the fees typically charged by independent third party providers for similar services, the total value of the right-of-use assets involved in the leasing of the Leased Properties from the Relevant Kerry Holdings Group to the Group, as well as factors including (i) historical, current and projected rental for the Leased Properties and such further premises (if any) that the Relevant Kerry Holdings Group will lease to the Group during the term of the Framework Services Agreement; (ii) the prevailing and projected market rates for rental and building management fees and fees for comparable properties in the nearby area; (iii) historical, current and projected management fees and fees for operation of warehouse facilities and warehousing services comparable to those to be provided; (iv) historical, current and projected market rates for insurance brokerages and related services for comparable insurance products comparable to those to be provided; (v) historical, current and projected rates on delivery, local courier and freight services comparable to those to be provided; and (vi) inflation and expected expansion and development of the Group's and Kerry Holdings' businesses.

The Directors (including the INEDs) considered that the annual cap and terms of the Framework Services Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.

Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Framework Services Agreement

The Group operates as a leading logistics service provider in Asia principally engaged in the integrated logistics and international freight forwarding businesses. As a logistics service provider, the Group has been providing logistics related services including insurance brokerage and related services and by expanding its services to the Relevant Kerry Holdings Group, the Group is able to enhance the operational scale of the Group. In relation to the provision of services relating to management and operation of warehouse facilities, the Group can leverage on its existing set-up and resources to generate revenue.

In addition, while the Company intends to transform into an asset-light business by entering into the Warehouses Sale Agreement, the Group requires to lease additional premises for its business operations due to the continuing growth in the Group's operations in Hong Kong.

The Board considers that due to the long-term relationship between the Group and the Relevant Kerry Holdings Group, it is beneficial to the Company to enter into the Framework Services Agreement as the transactions pursuant to it will facilitate the operation and growth of the Company's business.

The Board (including the members of the LR Independent Board Committee and the Code Independent Board Committee whose views have been set out in this circular after considering the advice of Somerley) considers that the Framework Services Agreement, the annual caps and the transactions contemplated thereunder are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and are on normal commercial terms, or on terms no less favourable than those available to the Group from independent third parties, which are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, and that the annual caps for the transactions under the Framework Services Agreement are fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Listing Rules implications

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the annual caps of the transactions under the Framework Services Agreement is 5% or more but less than 25%, the Framework Services Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and will therefore be subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As Kerry Holdings is a Controlling Shareholder and a connected person of the Company, the Framework Services Agreement also constitutes a continuing connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and would be subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Takeovers Code implications

The Framework Services Agreement constitutes a special deal in relation to the Partial Offer under Note 4 to Rule 25 of theTakeovers Code and requires the consent of the Executive. An application will be made by the Company to the Executive for its consent to proceed with the Framework Services Agreement. Such consent, if granted, is expected to be subject to (i) the opinion of Somerley that the terms of the Framework Services Agreement are fair and reasonable; and (ii) the approval of the Framework Services Agreement by the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM. Somerley has stated in this circular its opinion on whether the terms of the Framework Services Agreement are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

Internal control procedures in relation to continuing connected transactions

The Company has established an internal control mechanism for monitoring and reporting continuing connected transactions to ensure compliance with Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The finance team of the Company will monitor the continuing connected transactions by communicating regularly with the regional heads of the finance teams of the Group in respect of the terms and pricing policies of the continuing connected transactions, and collecting monthly financial data together with underlying agreements for analysis and reporting. The finance team of the Company will prepare monthly summaries and work closely with the company secretary of the Company to monitor compliance with the annual caps of the continuing connected transactions. These monthly summaries will be made available to the INEDs and the Company's auditors for review periodically, and not less than at least once during each 6-month period. The internal audit team of the Company will carry out annual assessment of the effectiveness of the internal control system.

THE BOARD

Mr KUOK Khoon Hua, together with his associates, indirectly holds more than 5% of the shares in Kerry Holdings, thus having a material interest in the Special Deal Agreements. He has abstained from voting on the proposed resolutions at the Board meeting approving the Special Deal Agreements.

behalf of the Offeror, subject to the satisfaction or waiver (where applicable) of the Pre-Conditions, will make a voluntary conditional partial cash offer to Shareholders to acquire 931,209,117 Offer Shares (representing approximately 51.8% of the Shares in issue as at the date of the Joint Announcement) at the Offer Price of HK$18.80 per Offer Share. The Offeror will extend an appropriate partial offer to the Optionholders to cancel such number of Share Options representing 51.8% of the outstanding Share Options as at the Final Closing Date pursuant to Rule 13 of the Takeovers Code. In addition to the Offer Price, conditional on completion of the Warehouses Sale (which is conditional upon, amongst other conditions, the Partial Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects), the Company will declare the Special Dividend of HK$7.28 per Share. Details of the Partial Offer and the Option Offer (the "Offers") are set out in the Joint Announcement.

In connection with the Offers, the Offeror and the Offeror Parent have entered into the Shareholders' Agreement with Kerry Holdings and Kerry Properties regarding certain corporate governance matters. The Company has also proposed to make certain corresponding amendments to its Bye-laws. In addition, on 25 March 2021 (as amended pursuant to an amendment agreement dated 30 April 2021 for the Warehouses Management Agreements and the Framework Services Agreement), the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries entered into (i) the Warehouses Sale Agreement; (ii) the Warehouses Management Agreements; (iii) the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement; (iv) the Brand Licence Agreements; and (v) the Framework Services Agreement. The Special Deal Agreements are each conditional upon the Partial Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects. In turn, it is a pre-condition to the Partial Offer that, amongst other terms, (i) the Warehouses Sale Pre-Conditional Conditions have been satisfied (or, where applicable, waived); (ii) the Taiwan Business Sale Pre-Conditional Conditions have been satisfied (or, where applicable, waived) and there being no event or circumstances which would render any of the Taiwan Business Sale Continuing Conditions incapable of satisfaction; (iii) the Brand Licence Agreements having become unconditional save for the condition relating to the Partial Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects; and (iv) the Shareholders' Agreement having become unconditional save for the condition relating to the Partial Offer becoming or being declared unconditional in all respects.

Such consent, if granted, will be subject to (i) the opinion of the Independent Financial Adviser that the terms of each of the Special Deal Agreements are fair and reasonable; and (ii) the approval of each of the Special Deal Agreements by the Independent Shareholders by way of poll at the SGM.

In respect of the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement, as one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules is 5% or more but less than 25%, the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and would therefore be subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

In respect of the Framework Services Agreement, as one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule

14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the annual caps of the transactions under the Framework Services Agreement is 5% or more but less than 25%, the Framework Services Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and would therefore be subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As Kerry Holdings is a Controlling Shareholder and a connected person of the Company, each of the Warehouses Sale Agreement and Taiwan Business Sale Agreement also constitutes a connected transaction of the Company and the Framework Services Agreement constitutes a continuing connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and would be subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

In respect of the Warehouses Management Agreements, as Kerry Holdings is a Controlling Shareholder and a connected person of the Company, the Warehouses Management Agreements also constitute continuing connected transactions under the Listing Rules. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the annual caps of the transactions under the Warehouses Management Agreements will be more than 0.1% but all of them are less than 5%, the Warehouses Management Agreements are subject to reporting, announcement and annual review requirements but exempt from independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

In respect of the Brand Licence Agreements, as the Licensor is a fellow subsidiary of Kerry Holdings (which in turn is the Controlling Shareholder) and a connected person of the Company, the Brand Licence Agreements constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules. As the licence fee is nominal, the aggregate amounts to be paid by the Company and KE Thailand (as the case may be) to the Licensor under the Brand Licence Agreements will not be, on an annual basis, more than the de minimis threshold of 0.1% during the term of the Brand Licence Agreements. The Brand Licence Agreements would therefore be fully exempt from the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The Board currently consists of four executive Directors, one non-executive Director and four independent non-executive Directors. The LR Independent Board Committee was established to consider and advise the Independent Shareholders on the terms of the Warehouses Sale Agreement, the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement and the Framework Services Agreement. The LR Independent Board Committee comprises Mr YEO Philip Liat Kok and Mr ZHANG Yi Kevin, being all of the INEDs other than (i) Ms KHOO Shulamite N K who is also an independent non-executive director of Shangri-La Asia Limited which is the parent company of Shang Holdings Limited (which is a Controlling Shareholders Close Associate); and (ii) Ms WONG Yu Pok Marina who is also an independent non-executive director of Kerry Properties.

The Code Independent Board Committee has been established for the purpose of making a recommendation to, among other things, the Independent Shareholders as to (i) whether the terms of the Special Deal Agreements are fair and reasonable; and (ii) the voting action that should be taken. The Code Independent Board Committee comprises Mr YEO Philip Liat Kok and Mr ZHANG Yi Kevin, being all of the INEDs other than Ms KHOO Shulamite N K and Ms WONG Yu Pok Marina for the reasons set out above. Ms TONG Shao Ming, being the non-executive Director, is also an investment director of Kerry Holdings and is therefore not on the Code Independent Board Committee given the conflicts of interest in respect of the Special Deal Agreements.

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

The Independent Board Committees have approved our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise them and the Independent Shareholders on the terms of the Special Deal Agreements.

During the past two years, we have acted as an independent financial adviser to the Company in relation to the disposal of 100% total issued share capital of two indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (as disclosed in the Company's circulars dated 6 May 2019). The past engagement was limited to providing independent advisory services to the Company pursuant to the Listing Rules, for which we received normal professional fee relevant to such type of engagement. Accordingly, we do not consider the past engagement would affect our independence to act as the independent financial adviser to the Company under the current engagement.

We are not associated with the Company, Kerry Properties, Kerry Holdings, the Offeror, the Offeror's controlling shareholder, parties to the Special Deal Agreements (together, the "Parties") or their respective core connected persons, close associates or associates (all as defined under the Listing Rules) or any party acting, or presumed to be acting, in concert with any of them and, accordingly, are considered eligible to give independent advice on the Special Deal Agreements. Apart from normal professional fees payable to us in connection with this and similar appointments, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees or benefits from the Parties, their respective substantial core connected persons, close associates or associates (all as defined under the Listing Rules) or any party acting, or presumed to be acting, in concert with any of them.

In formulating our opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, (i) the Joint Announcement; (ii) the Special Deals Announcement; (iii) the Shareholders' Agreement; (iv) the Warehouses Sale Agreements; (v) the Warehouses Management Agreement; (vi) the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement; (vii) the Brand Licence Agreements; (viii) the Framework Services Agreement; (ix) the annual reports of the Company for the years ended 31 December 2020 (the "2020 Annual Report") and 31 December 2019 (the "2019 Annual Report") (together, the "Annual Reports"); (x) the valuation report in relation to the Target Warehouses (the "Valuation Report") issued by Cushman & Wakefield Limited (the "Valuer"), an independent property valuer appointed by the Company, as set out in appendix II to the Circular and the information as set out in the Circular. We have discussed the business and future prospects of the Group as they may be affected by the transactions contemplated under the Special Deal Agreements with the management of the Group (the "Management") and we have also discussed the valuation methodology and bases and assumptions used in the Valuation Report with the Valuer. We have also performed site visits to the Warehouses.

We have relied on the information and facts supplied, and the opinions expressed, by the Directors and the Management, and have assumed that the information and facts provided and opinions expressed to us are true, accurate and complete in all material respects at the time they were made and up to the Latest Practicable Date. We have further assumed that all representations contained or referred to in the Circular are true, accurate and complete at the time they were made and at the Latest Practicable Date. Independent Shareholders will be informed as soon as practicable if we become aware of any material change to such information. We have also sought and received confirmation from the Directors that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied and opinions expressed to us. We consider that the information we have received is sufficient for us to reach our advice and recommendations as set out in this letter. We have no reason to believe that any material information has been omitted or withheld, or doubt the truth or accuracy of the information provided. We have, however, not conducted any independent investigation into the business and affairs of the Group or the Parties nor have we carried out any independent verification of the information supplied.

The Group achieved a revenue of approximately HK$41,139.1 million for the year ended 31 December 2019, representing a growth of approximately 7.9% from that for 2018. Gross margin of the Group enhanced from approximately 12.5% for the year ended 31 December 2018 by approximately 0.6% to approximately 13.1% for 2019. While the profit attributable to the Shareholders increased by approximately 55.3% from prior year to approximately HK$3,788.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2019, the Group's core net profit, which represents the profit attributable to the Shareholders before the after-tax effect of change in fair value of investment properties, gain on disposal of warehouses, fair value change of financial instruments and impairment, only grew by approximately 3.6% to approximately HK$1,374.1 million for 2019. The increase in profit was primarily driven by (i) business growth for the integrated logistics ("IL") segment in all major operating regions including Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Asia; and (ii) growth of the international freight forwarding ("IFF") segment, which was partly attributable to the trade war between Mainland China and the US and resulted in frontloading by the Group's customers to get goods from Mainland China to the US.

The Group achieved a revenue of approximately HK$53,360.5 million for the year ended 31 December 2020, representing a growth of approximately 29.7% from that for 2019. Gross margin of the Group narrowed from approximately 13.1% for the year ended 31 December 2019 by approximately 1.5% to approximately 11.6% for 2020. Profit attributable to the Shareholders decreased by approximately 23.6% from prior year to approximately HK$2,895.8 million for the year ended 31 December 2020. However, the Group's core net profit grew by approximately 33.1% to approximately HK$1,828.4 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 primarily due to the absence of one-off disposal gain of warehouses in 2019. The increase in core net profit was mainly driven by (i) normalised growth rate of approximately 8% for the IL segment, driven by the strong performance in Hong Kong and Taiwan; and (ii) 64% growth of the IFF segment, which was mainly driven by a high global demand for pandemic-related goods as well as production and exports from Mainland China. The US arm of the Group has recorded an increase in volume of 17%, strengthening its Trans-Pacific market position. It was the number one non-vessel operating common carrier ("NVOCC") from Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia to the US, the number two NVOCC from Asia to the US for 2020.

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

As at 31 December 2020, non-current assets of the Group amounted to approximately HK$35,168.6 million, up approximately 9.2% from that as at 31 December 2019, of which investment properties and property, plant and equipment (the "PP&E") accounted for approximately 32.7% and 33.2% respectively. Investment properties mainly comprise warehouses and logistics centres in Hong Kong, Mainland China and Vietnam leased out by the Group for rental income. PP&E mainly consist of warehouses, port facilities, logistics centres, container depot and container terminal in Hong Kong, Mainland China, Taiwan and Asia owned by the Group for its own operations. As at 31 December 2020, the Group managed a logistics facility portfolio of approximately 74 million square feet, of which approximately 40.5% were self-owned.

The Group expanded its operational size and recorded increasing revenue and profit in recent years. The Group's cash and bank balances increased by approximately 45.4% to approximately HK$8,470.8 million as at 31 December 2020 from that as at 31 December 2019.The Group's total bank loans also grew by approximately 11.0% amounting to approximately HK$9,011.2 million as at 31 December 2020 from that as at 31 December 2019. As a result, the Group's gearing ratio, being total bank loans and overdrafts divided by equity attributable to the Shareholders excluding put options written on non-controlling interests, had dropped slightly to approximately 33.6% as at 31 December 2020, which was approximately 1.0% lower than that as at 31 December 2019. In particular, approximately 43.7% of the bank loans in the amount of approximately HK$3,941.8 million were due within 12 months from 31 December 2020. The net current assets of the Group have continued to improve, which increased by approximately HK$805.1 million or 13.4% to HK$6,822.8 million as at 31 December 2020 from approximately HK$6,017.7 million as at 31 December 2019.

Equity attributable to Shareholders enhanced by approximately HK$4,469.6 million or 19.4% from approximately HK$23,013.3 million as at 31 December 2019 to approximately HK$27,482.9 million as at 31 December 2020. The improvement was mainly attributable to the net profit recorded during the year ended 31 December 2020.

2. The Warehouses Sale Agreement

  1. Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Warehouses Sale Agreement

In connection with the Partial Offer, the Warehouses Sale Agreement would allow the Company to reposition itself as an asset-lighter business. This will boost Shareholder returns through the crystallisation of the value of the relevant warehouses and the subsequent distribution of the sale proceeds via the Special Dividend.

We have discussed with the Management and note that the Warehouses Sale will enable the Group to become asset-light, which is in line with the business model of the Group's international competitors. Moreover, it has been the Group's stated strategy to unleash the value of its portfolio. For instance, the Group disposed of two warehouses in Hong Kong in 2019 to a subsidiary of Kerry Properties. The Warehouses Sale will provide an opportunity to unlock the value of the Target Warehouses and a significant return, through the distribution of the Special Dividend of HK$7.28 per Share, to the Shareholders. While the Target Warehouses will be disposed of after completion of the Warehouses Sale, they will be leased back to the Group for the continuation of the Group's logistics operations through the arrangement pursuant the Framework Services Agreement. Having considered the business strategy of the Group and the proposed distribution of the Special Dividend as well as the lease back arrangement of the Target Warehouses, we are of the view that the Warehouses Sale is in line with the Group's stated strategy and will unlock the value of the Target Warehouses for a return to the Shareholders.

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

Subject matter

The Warehouses Vendor agreed to sell and the Warehouses Purchaser agreed to

purchase, all issued shares in the capital of the Target Warehouses Companies

together with all rights and benefits attaching to the Target Warehouses Sale

Shares (including without limitation the right to all dividends and distributions)

on or after the completion date.

Neither the WarehousesVendor nor the Warehouses Purchaser shall be obliged to

complete the sale and purchase of any Target Warehouses Sale Shares unless the

sale and purchase of all of the Target Warehouses Sale Shares are completed

simultaneously.

Consideration

The total consideration for the sale and purchase of the Target Warehouses Sale

Shares is HK$13,500.0 million, which shall be payable by the Warehouses

Purchaser to the Warehouses Vendor by way of cashier order or solicitors' cheque

at completion of the Warehouses Sale.

The consideration was determined after arm's length negotiations between the

parties, taking into account (i) the historical financial performance of the Target

Warehouse Companies; (ii) the preliminary indication of value of the Target

Warehouses conducted by a professional valuer which is independent from the

Company and its connected persons; and (iii) the outlook for Hong Kong and

demand for logistics services.

Consideration

Immediately prior to completion of the Warehouses Sale, if it is projected that the

adjustments

sum of the net asset value, or the consolidated net asset value, of the Target

Warehouses Companies (with the book costs of the Target Warehouses and the

carrying value of the other fixed assets of the Target Warehouses Companies

replaced by the total consideration of HK$13,500.0 million):

(i) will be greater than the amount of the total consideration, the Warehouses

Vendor shall procure that each of the Target Warehouses Companies and

the other Warehouses Owners shall declare interim dividends out of

retained profits to their respective shareholder(s); or

(ii) will be less than the amount of the total consideration, the Warehouses

Vendor shall inject such additional capital into the relevant Target

Warehouses Company, thereby increasing the share capital of the relevant

Target Warehouses Company or the Warehouses Owner but without issuing

any new share,

in either case, such that as at completion, the consolidated net asset value of the

Target Warehouses Companies shall be equal to the amount of the total

consideration.

  1. The valuation of theTarget Warehouses
    1. Information on the Valuer

The Target Warehouses were valued by the Valuer, an independent property valuer appointed by

the Company.The full text of the valuation report of theTarget Warehouses is set out in appendix II to the

Circular. The valuation of the Target Warehouses as at 31 March 2021 (the "Valuation") of the Target

Warehouses has been carried out in accordance with The HKIS Valuation Standards 2020 published by

The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors and the requirements set out in Chapter 5 of the Listing Rules.

- 76 -

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

We have reviewed the Valuation Report and certain valuation workings of the Valuer and interviewed the relevant staff of the Valuer with particular attention to: (i) the Valuer's terms of engagement with the Company; (ii) the Valuer's qualification and experience in relation to the preparation of the Valuation; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by the Valuer in performing the Valuation.

In our review of the engagement letter between the Company and the Valuer, we are satisfied that the terms of engagement between the Company and the Valuer are appropriate to the opinion the Valuer is required to give. The Valuer has confirmed that it is independent from the parties to the Warehouses Sale Agreement and their respective core connected persons, close associates and associates. We further understand that the Valuer is certified with the relevant professional qualifications required to perform the Valuation and the person-in-charge of the Valuation has over 35 years of experience in conducting valuation of properties in Hong Kong. We note that the Valuer mainly carried out its due diligence through management interviews and conducted its own proprietary research and has relied on publicly available information obtained through its own research as well as the financial information provided by the Management.

  1. Valuation methodology

In arriving at its opinion of value, the Valuer has valued the Target Warehouses by adopting the market approach by making reference to comparable sales evidence as available in the relevant market subject to suitable adjustments between the Target Warehouses and the comparable properties including but not limited to, location, time, size, age and maintenance standard, etc.. We have discussed with the Valuer about the rationale of adopting the abovementioned valuation methodology for valuing the Target Warehouses. According to the Valuer, the market approach is the most appropriate valuation method for assessing the market value of the Target Warehouses as there is transparent and readily available market price information for warehouse properties.

After considering the reasons for the Valuer's choice of adopting the valuation methodology for valuing the Warehouses and the current status of the Target Warehouses, we are of the opinion that the valuation methodology used is reasonable and acceptable in establishing the market values of the Target Warehouses as at 31 March 2021.

(iii) Valuation bases and assumptions

In arriving at its opinion of value of the Target Warehouses, the Valuer generally starts the process by collecting and analysing the recent transactions of the market comparables located in the vicinity of the Target Warehouses. In particular, the Valuer selected market comparable transactions that (i) were located in the same district; (ii) were conducted during the month of the Valuation Date, or if not available, as close as the Valuation Date starting from around the middle of 2020. The collected comparables were then adjusted to reflect the difference between the comparables and the Target Warehouses in terms of, among others, location, time, size, age and maintenance standard. We have reviewed and discussed about the Valuer's workings on the selection of the market comparables and the relevant adjustments made. We are of the view that the basis of selection of market comparables and the

- 77 -

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

adjustments, including various factors (i.e. date of transaction, location, time, size, age and maintenance standard) taken into account, made for reflecting the difference between the selected comparables and the Target Warehouses are reasonable and relevant for the purpose of establishing the market value of the Target Warehouses. The appraised value of the Target Warehouses was then derived from the estimated average unit price (after applying the direct comparison approach) and gross floor area of the Target Warehouses.

Taking into account the above, we consider that the bases and assumptions adopted by the Valuer for the valuation methodology discussed above are reasonable and in line with market practices.

Based on the Valuation Report, the market values of the Target Warehouses as at 31 March 2021 were HK$13,128 million. Accordingly, the total consideration for the Warehouses Sale of HK$13,500 million represents a premium of approximately 2.8% over the amount of the Valuation. For the avoidance of doubt, the Warehouses Sale will be conducted through the sale of the Target Warehouses Sale Shares by the Warehouses Vendor and, in any event, the sum of the consolidated (if applicable) NAV of the Target Warehouses Companies shall always be equal to the amount of the total consideration of HK$13,500 million by adjusting the consolidated (if applicable) NAV of the Target Warehouses Companies via declaration of interim dividends or injection of additional capital (as the case may be).

3. The Warehouses Management Agreements

  1. Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Warehouses Management Agreements

The Group operates as a leading logistics service provider in Asia principally engaged in the integrated logistics and international freight forwarding businesses. The Group is currently the owner of the Target Warehouses and operates at and manages these properties. Given theTarget Warehouses will be disposed of to the Kerry Holdings Group after completion of the Warehouses Sale, it is considered reasonable for the Group to enter into the Warehouses Management Agreements and be retained as the Warehouses Manager owing to the Group's expertise and knowledge of logistics business operation and familiarity of the Target Warehouses. Furthermore, by leveraging on the Group's existing set-up and resources, the provision of the Warehouses Management Services will generate additional income for the Group.

- 78 -

  1. Principal terms of the Warehouses Management Agreements

On 25 March 2021, in connection with the Warehouses Sale, KWHK, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into nine Warehouses Management Agreements (as amended on 30 April 2021) with, respectively, the legal owners of the Target Warehouses to provide Warehouses Management Services for the Target Warehouses.

SOMERLEY FROM LETTER

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

For the avoidance of doubt, the Warehouses Management Agreements only become effective upon completion of the Warehouses Sale. Commencement under the Warehouses Management Agreements are not otherwise subject to other conditionality, including by reference to the Partial Offer or the other Special Deal Agreements.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the condition to the Warehouses Management Agreements becoming effective had not been fulfilled.

  1. Guaranteed occupancy and guaranteed gross revenue

Pursuant to the Warehouses Management Agreements, the Group has guaranteed certain amounts of rental income and 100% occupancy for the TW Target Warehouse, TC1-7A2 Target Property, the TC1-A Target Property, the TC1-B Target Property, the TC2 Target Warehouse, the KC Target Warehouse (together, the "Fully Guaranteed Target Warehouses") and 60% occupancy for the KCC Target Warehouse (the "Partially Guaranteed Target Warehouse"). In view of the above, we have obtained and reviewed a breakdown of the leasing profile of the aforesaid Target Warehouses (the "Leasing Profile") from the Management and we note the Company is occupying almost all floor spaces in the Fully Guaranteed Target Warehouses, except for the TW Target Warehouse where the Company only occupies approximately 30% of the floor space. That said, we note that the majority of the remaining approximately 70% of the floor space of the TW Target Warehouse has ongoing long-term lease contracts expiring in or beyond 2024. As regarding the Partially Guaranteed Target Warehouse, we note from the Leasing Profile that over 60% of floor space of the KCC Target Warehouse is currently occupied by the Group. Furthermore, we have reviewed lettable unit rates of not less than four comparable properties for each Target Warehouse and the selected comparables were either (i) units within the same Target Warehouse that are being leased to independent third parties to the Group; or (ii) nearby warehouses that are comparable in terms of size, property usage and building conditions. The comparables selected for comparison are exhaustive and representative and we note that the implied guaranteed rental rate is not higher than that of the comparable properties. Based on our discussion with the Management, since (i) the Group intends to continue occupying the aforesaid existing floor spaces in the relevant warehouses; (ii) the majority of the remaining floor spaces leased by third party tenants have long leases; and (iii) the implied guaranteed rental rate is not higher than that of comparable properties, it is considered reasonable to guarantee the occupancy and the gross revenue of the aforesaid warehouses under the Warehouses Management Agreements.

  1. Monthly lease management fee and monthly building manager fee (together, the "Lease and Building Management Fees") and bonus fee

As shown in the table above, the Lease and Building Management Fees include (A) the monthly lease management fee comprises (a) 2% of one-twelfth of the guaranteed gross revenue for the Fully Guaranteed Target Warehouses; (b) 2% of one-twelfth of the guaranteed gross revenue and 15% of warrant income for the Partially Guaranteed Target Warehouse (together with the Fully Guaranteed Target Warehouses, the "Guaranteed Target Warehouses"); and (c) 5.5% of gross revenue and 15% of the warrant income for the FL Target Warehouse and the SS Target Warehouse; (B) a monthly building manager fee of 10% of the actual management expenses for the Target Warehouses other than the

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

TC1-7A2 Target Property, the TC1-A Target Property and the TC1-B Target Property; and (C) the bonus fee of 5.5% for the amount exceeding the guaranteed gross revenue for the Guaranteed Target Warehouses. In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Lease and Building Management Fees, we have compared an implied Lease and Building Management Fees rate, which is determined based on actual rental revenue for the year ended 31 December 2020 and the corresponding Lease and Building Management Fees would have been generated as if the Warehouses Management Agreements have been effective, and against the property management fee of all real estate investment trusts ("REITs") listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange. We understand that it is common for REITs to appoint property management company to manage their portfolio properties and we consider the property management fee payable by the REITs is similar in nature to the Lease and Building Management Fees. We consider the list of selected REITs below exhaustive and representative since, save as disclosed below, other REITs did not disclose information about property management fee.

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

According to the table above, property management fee rates of REITs listed on Main Board of the Stock Exchange ranged between 2.0% to 3.0% such that the implied Lease and Building Management Fees of approximately 4.1% is higher than the aforesaid range. In addition, since the Lease and Building Management Fees is more favourable than that of the comparables shown in the table above, it is in the Group's favour to have an additional bonus fee of 5.5% for the amount exceeding the guaranteed gross revenue as it provides an additional income for the Group. Furthermore, we have obtained from the Management a breakdown of the costs involved in operating KWHK for fulfilling its obligation as the property manager for the Target Warehouses and compared that against the implied Lease and Building Management Fees based on rental revenue for the year ended 31 December 2020 and we note that the profit margin is reasonable.

(iii) Monthly reimbursement of the estate agent commission

According to the Warehouses Management Agreements, the relevant Warehouses Owners shall reimburse the relevant share of the estate agent commissions incurred by KWHK on an "at-cost basis" and such arrangement is considered reasonable.

(iv) Outgoings and expenses

According to the Warehouses Management Agreements, the relevant Warehouses Owners shall be responsible for certain outgoings and expenses in relation to structural parts of the relevant Target Warehouses, and KWHK shall be responsible for expenses for up keep of the non-structural parts of the Relevant Target Warehouses, government rent and rates, management fees and estate agent commissions except for the relevant Warehouses Owners' share. We are of the view that this arrangement is reasonable and common in nature.

  1. Current property management fees

As shown in the table above, property management fees ranged from HK$1.25 per sq.ft. per month to HK$1.55 per sq.ft per month. In view of this, we have obtained property management fees charged by the Group to independent third party tenants in the relevant Target Warehouses (as applicable) and nearby comparable warehouses and we note that the aforesaid property management fees chargeable under the Warehouses Management Agreements for the relevant Target Warehouses are comparable to that of independent third party tenants in the relevant Target Warehouses (as applicable) and nearby comparable warehouses.

In view of the analysis set out above, we consider the terms of the Warehouses Management Agreements fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

  1. Pricing policies and internal control

Given that the pricing of each of the transactions entered into under the Warehouses Management Agreements will be determined with reference to the applicable market practice and the prevailing market rate charged by independent third party at the relevant time for comparable transactions, we are of the view that the pricing policies of the Warehouses Management Agreements are fair and reasonable.

For guaranteed gross revenue, it is determined based on the sum of all guaranteed rental income for the relevant Fully Guaranteed Target Warehouses and Partially Guaranteed Target Warehouses.

For the property management fee, it is noted that this sub-category of the Warehouses Management Annual Caps was determined based on the applicable property management fee rate for the relevant Target Warehouses multiplies by the relevant gross floor area of the Target Warehouses plus a 5% increment per annum to reflect the possible adjustment to the property management fee due to, among others, inflation. Based on our review of the Leasing Profile, we understand that the applicable property management fee rates ranged between HK$1.25 per square feet and HK$1.55 per sq. ft. per month, which are in line with the management fee rate charged to tenants of the relevant Target Warehouses that are independent third parties to the Group.

This sub-category of the Warehouses Management Annual Caps comprises lease management fee, building manager fee and bonus fee and they were determined based on the actual rental revenue for the year ended 31 December 2020 with an increment of 15% per annum and multiplies by the respective percentages of the Lease and Building Management Fees and bonus fee. The Company also included a contingency of approximately 13% for each item to cater for unexpected changes such as increase in rental rate.

Having considered the basis on which the Warehouses Management Annual Caps were determined as described above, we are of the view that the Warehouses Management Annual Caps are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

4. The Taiwan Business Sale Agreement

  1. Reasons for and benefits of entering into theTaiwan Business Sale Agreement

As stated in the letter from the Board contained in this Circular, due to foreign investment restrictions, the Offeror is restricted from indirectly acquiring interests in Taiwan businesses. The Taiwan Business Sale Agreement is therefore essential to facilitate the Partial Offer and acquisition of interests in the Company by the Offeror. Further, the Taiwan Business Sale presents itself as a good opportunity for the Company to refocus its resources on developing key markets and capture business growth which may arise in the longer run.

As mentioned in the Joint Announcement, the Partial Offer will bring together the core competencies of the Offeror Parent Group and the Group across multiple verticals to create the leading Asia-based global logistics platform. Having considered the future prospects of the Group together with the Offeror Parent Group and the foreign investment restrictions of acquiring interests in Taiwan businesses, the entering into of the Taiwan Business Sale Agreement is considered acceptable.

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY

The Taiwan Target Companies' combined revenue was substantially contributed by the Taiwan Listco, which provided over 90% of the combined revenue for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2020. The IFF business generated substantially the remaining combined revenue for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2020. The revenue contribution from the coffee trading business was minimal. The Taiwan Target Companies' combined revenue amounted to approximately HK$3,564.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2020, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 9.5%. The growth was mainly due to the increase in the Taiwan Listco's revenue. The profit after tax attributable to the Taiwan Seller amounted to approximately HK$223.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2020, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 50.9%. Similarly, the growth was also mainly due to the increase in the net profit of the Taiwan Listco.
