2020 COMMERCIAL LETTING FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT
On 31 July 2020, the Lai Sun Listcos entered into the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement to govern the Transactions constituting their respective continuing connected transactions for a period of three years commencing on 1 August 2020 and expiring on 31 July 2023.
- 1 -
As the highest of the applicable percentage ratios of the Caps for each Lai Sun Listco (other than MAGHL) in respect of the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement is more than 0.1% but less than 5% and the highest of the applicable percentage ratios of the Caps for MAGHL is more than 5% but less than 25% and (in the case of MAGHL) the total consideration is less than HK$10,000,000, such Transactions and Caps are subject to reporting, announcement and annual review requirements but are exempt from the circular (including independent financial advice) and shareholders' approval requirements under the connected transactions rules of the Listing Rules for each Lai Sun Listco.
BACKGROUND
Each of the LSG Group, the LSD Group and the Lai Fung Group owns or holds premises. Transactions for the letting and/or licensing of their respective premises to other members of the Lai Sun Group are entered into from time to time and were governed by the Memorandum of Agreement, the term of which expired on 31 July 2020.
2020 COMMERCIAL LETTING FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT
On 31 July 2020, the Lai Sun Listcos entered into the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement to govern the Transactions constituting their respective continuing connected transactions for a period of three years commencing on 1 August 2020 and expiring on 31 July 2023.
The principal terms of the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement are as follows:
- each Transaction shall be governed by a written agreement on normal commercial terms;
- the rental or fees (including property management fees) payable under each Transaction and their payment terms shall be determined by reference to the prevailing market or comparable rental or fees; and
- each Lai Sun Listco may, in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, determine the Caps in respect of the Transactions constituting its continuing connected transactions for each of the three financial years ending 31 July 2021, 2022 and 2023.
ANNUAL CAPS
Lessee Listcos
The amounts payable by each Lessee Listco under its Transactions comprise rental, licensing fees and/or other fees (including property management fees and variable lease payments).
- 2 -
Pursuant to HKFRS 16, which became effective for the Lai Sun Group from 1 August 2019, in respect of each of the Transactions with fixed rental payments, each Lessee Listco is required to recognise a right-of-use asset (which is measured at the present value of the total rental payable, discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate) in respect of such fixed rental payments for the term (or, as the case may be, the remainder of the term) of that Transaction. Each Lessee Listco is required under the Listing Rules to set a Cap for the total value of such right-of-use assets in respect of such Transactions for each of the three financial years during the Term. Such Caps for each Lessee Listco are as follows:
Financial | Financial | Financial | |
year ending | year ending | year ending | |
Lessee Listcos | 31 July 2021 | 31 July 2022 | 31 July 2023 |
HK$ | HK$ | HK$ | |

MAGHL | 9,500,000 | 4,000,000 | 9,800,000 |
Licensing fees payable by each Lessee Listco under its Transactions and other fees payable by each Lessee Listco other than fixed rental payments (such as the property management fees and variable lease payments) under its Transactions are recorded as expenses incurred by that Lessee Listco over the term (or, as the case may be, the remainder of the term) of that Transaction. Each Lessee Listco is required under the Listing Rules to set a Cap for such licensing and other fees for each of the three financial years during the Term. Such Caps for each Lessee Listco are as follows:
Financial | Financial | Financial | |
year ending | year ending | year ending | |
Lessee Listcos | 31 July 2021 | 31 July 2022 | 31 July 2023 |

Lai Fung | 800,000 | 800,000 | 800,000 |
MAGHL | 800,000 | 800,000 | 800,000 |
- 3 -
The above Caps for the Lessee Listcos have been determined by reference to (i) the terms of the current Transactions; (ii) the expected renewals of certain Transactions during the Term; (iii) an estimate of new Transactions that are expected to be entered into during the Term; (iv) an estimate of the potential rental adjustments under the terms of the Transactions subsisting during the Term; and (v) a buffer for potential fluctuations of market interest rate and variable rental or fees (including property management fees, if applicable) under the Transactions subsisting during the Term and any additional Transactions which may be entered into due to unanticipated business needs of the Lessee Listcos during the Term.
Lessor Listcos
Each Lessor Listco is required under the Listing Rules to set a Cap for the annual rental, licensing fees and/or other fees receivable by that Lessor Listco (and its subsidiaries) under its Transactions for each of the three financial years during the Term. Such Caps for each Lessor Listco are as follows:
Financial | Financial | Financial | |
year ending | year ending | year ending | |
Lessor Listcos | 31 July 2021 | 31 July 2022 | 31 July 2023 |
HK$ | HK$ | HK$ | |
LSG | 19,100,000 | 20,600,000 | 22,000,000 |
LSD | 5,500,000 | 5,900,000 | 6,100,000 |
Lai Fung | 11,800,000 | 12,900,000 | 14,000,000 |
The above Caps for the Lessor Listcos have been determined by reference to (i) the terms of the current Transactions; (ii) the expected renewals of certain Transactions during the Term;
- an estimate of new Transactions that are expected to be entered into during the Term;
- an estimate of the potential rental adjustments under the terms of the Transactions subsisting during the Term; and (v) a buffer for potential fluctuations of variable rental or fees (including property management fees, if applicable) under the Transactions subsisting during the Term and any additional Transactions which may be entered into due to unanticipated business needs of the Lessee Listcos during the Term.
Internal Control Measures
In order to ensure that the pricing basis in the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement is adhered to, the Lai Sun Group will adopt the following internal control measures in respect of each Transaction:
- before the Transaction is entered into, the Lessor Listco and the Lessee Listco will obtain the prevailing market rent from an independent valuer or quotes from two other unrelated independent third parties (where possible), or will assess the market rent offered to or charged by independent third parties, in respect of properties of similar nature in the vicinity of such premises;
- 4 -
- the respective relevant operation departments and management of the Lessor Listco and the Lessee Listco will examine the proposed rent under other terms of the Transaction in order to ensure that such rent is determined based on arm's length negotiations between the parties and the Transaction is fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and on terms that are no less favourable to the Lessor Listco (or, as the case may be, the Lessee Listco) than those available from independent third parties;
- the respective finance department of the Lessor Listco and the Lessee Listco will regularly (a) review whether their Transactions have been conducted in accordance with the terms of their respective agreements and the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement; and (b) monitor the amounts under the Transactions to ensure that the Caps are not exceeded; and
- the Lessor Listcos and the Lessee Listcos will comply with the requirements under the connected transaction rules of the Listing Rules for the annual review by the independent auditor and the independent non-executive directors in respect of their respective Transactions.
By implementing the above measures, the directors (including the independent non-executive directors) of each Lai Sun Listco consider that that Lai Sun Listco has appropriate internal control procedures to ensure that the Transactions under the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement constituting continuing connected transactions of that Lai Sun Listco will be conducted on normal commercial terms and in the interests of that Lai Sun Listco and its shareholders as a whole.
REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE 2020 COMMERCIAL LETTING FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT
The LSG Group, the LSD Group and the Lai Fung Group own, lease and manage premises. The 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement enables each of the LSG Group, the LSD Group and the Lai Fung Group to continue to lease and/or license its premises to other members of the Lai Sun Group, which maintains and/or increases the operational efficiency and the synergy for its benefit.
Dr. Peter Lam has abstained from voting on the relevant board resolutions of LSG, LSD and MAGHL approving the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement to avoid any potential conflict of interests. Other than Dr. Peter Lam, none of the directors of the Lai Sun Listcos has any material interest in the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement.
The directors (including the independent non-executive directors) of each Lai Sun Listco believe that the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement has been entered into (i) in the ordinary and usual course of business of that Lai Sun Listco; (ii) on normal commercial terms; and (iii) on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of that Lai Sun Listco and its shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
Transactions contemplated under the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions for the Lai Sun Listcos. The Listing Rules implications of the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement and the Transactions contemplated under it for each Lai Sun Listco are summarised below:
-
LSG
The Yu Shareholders are substantial shareholders of LSG and hence connected persons of LSG under the Listing Rules. On the basis of the Yu Shareholders' latest disclosures of interests in LSD, the Yu Shareholders are interested in 129,325,410 LSD shares (representing approximately 21.16% of the issued share capital of LSD) (other than through their interests in LSG) and one of the Yu Shareholders, Mr. Yu Cheuk Yi, is also interested in 11,162,700 LSD shares (representing approximately 1.83% of the issued share capital of LSD) (other than through his interests in LSG). LSD is therefore a connected subsidiary and hence a connected person of LSG under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, Transactions between the LSG Group (excluding the LSD Group) and the LSD Group (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the eSun Group, the Lai Fung Group and the MAGHL Group) constitute continuing connected transactions of LSG.
On the basis of the Yu Shareholders' latest disclosures of interests in Lai Fung, the Yu Shareholders are interested in 34,729,037 Lai Fung shares (representing approximately 10.49% of the issued share capital of Lai Fung) (other than through their interests in LSG and LSD). Lai Fung is therefore a connected person of LSG under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, Transactions between the LSG Group (excluding the Lai Fung Group) and the Lai Fung Group constitute continuing connected transactions of LSG. - LSD
LSG is the holding company of LSD and hence a connected person of LSD under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, Transactions between the LSD Group and the LSG Group (excluding the LSD Group) constitute continuing connected transactions of LSD.
The Yu Shareholders are substantial shareholders of LSD and hence connected persons of LSD under the Listing Rules. On the basis of the Yu Shareholders' latest disclosures of interests in Lai Fung, the Yu Shareholders are interested in 34,729,037 Lai Fung shares (representing approximately 10.49% of the issued share capital of Lai Fung) (other than through their interests in LSG and LSD). Lai Fung is therefore a connected subsidiary of LSD and hence a connected person of LSD under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, Transactions between the LSD Group (excluding the Lai Fung Group) and the Lai Fung Group constitute continuing connected transactions of LSD.
- 6 -
-
eSun
LSG and LSD are holding companies of eSun and hence connected persons of eSun under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, Transactions between the eSun Group and each of the LSG Group (excluding the LSD Group) and the LSD Group (including the Lai Fung Group but excluding the eSun Group) constitute continuing connected transactions of eSun. - Lai Fung
LSG and LSD are holding companies of Lai Fung and hence connected persons of Lai Fung under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, Transactions between the Lai Fung Group and each of the LSG Group (excluding the LSD Group) and the LSD Group (including the eSun Group and the MAGHL Group) constitute continuing connected transactions of Lai Fung. - MAGHL
LSG, LSD and eSun are holding companies of MAGHL, and hence connected persons of MAGHL under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, Transactions between the MAGHL Group and each of the LSG Group, the LSD Group and the eSun Group (excluding the MAGHL Group) constitute continuing connected transactions of MAGHL.
LSG, LSD and eSun are holding companies of MAGHL and hence connected persons of MAGHL under the Listing Rules. Lai Fung is a subsidiary of LSG and LSD (which are holding companies of MAGHL) and hence a connected person of MAGHL under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, Transactions between the MAGHL Group and each of the LSG Group, the LSD Group (including the Lai Fung Group) and the eSun Group (excluding the MAGHL Group) constitute continuing connected transactions of
MAGHL.
As the highest of the applicable percentage ratios of the Caps for each Lai Sun Listco (other than MAGHL) in respect of the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement is more than 0.1% but less than 5% and the highest of the applicable percentage ratios of the Caps for MAGHL is more than 5% but less than 25% and (in the case of MAGHL) the total consideration is less than HK$10,000,000, such Transactions and Caps are subject to reporting, announcement and annual review requirements but are exempt from the circular (including independent financial advice) and shareholders' approval requirements under the connected transactions rules of the Listing Rules for each Lai Sun Listco.
Each Lai Sun Listco will comply with the requirements under the connected transactions rules of the Listing Rules if any Cap for that Lai Sun Listco is exceeded, or when the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement is renewed or there are material changes to the provisions of the 2020 Commercial Letting Framework Agreement.
