QUARTERLY UPDATE ON STATUS OF RESUMPTION

Financial Adviser to the Company

This announcement is made by Natural Dairy (NZ) Holdings Limited (In Provisional Liquidation) (the "Company") pursuant to Rule 13.24A of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the "Listing Rules") on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Stock Exchange").

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 1 August 2018, 2 November 2018, 24 December 2018, 1 February 2019, 30 April 2019 and 31 July 2019 (the "Announcements"). Capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcements unless otherwise specified.

Recent Progress

As mentioned in the Announcements, on 4 June 2019, the Target Company submitted a pre- new listing application enquiry (the "Pre-NewListing Application Enquiry") in order to seek the Stock Exchange's confirmation that certain matters concerning the Target Company will be able to satisfy the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules.

On 23 October 2019, the Company received a letter from the Stock Exchange regarding the Pre-New Listing Application Enquiry (the "Reply Letter"). In the Reply Letter, the Stock Exchange stated that after reviewing the Pre-New Listing Application Enquiry and additional information provided by the Target Company and its professional advisers, the Stock Exchange considers that the Target Company will not be able to satisfy the relevant requirements of the Listing Rules.

The Company is currently consulting its professional advisers and the Target Company is in mind to submit further reasoning to support the Pre-New Listing Application Enquiry to the Stock Exchange on or before 8 November 2019.

Save for the above, there is no further update on the Company's business operations, progress of implementing the Resumption Proposal or progress of satisfying the resumption conditions.

The Company shall publish further announcement(s) regarding the transactions and arrangements under the Resumption Proposal in compliance with the Listing Rules, or any update on the development of the Company as and when appropriate.

Suspension of Trading

At the request of the Company, trading in the shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange has been suspended with effect from 9:33 a.m. on 7 September 2010 and will remain suspended until further notice and full satisfaction of the resumption conditions and such other further conditions that may be imposed by the Stock Exchange.

The transactions contemplated under the Restructuring Agreement and the Resumption Proposal, including the Acquisition, are subject to a number of conditions precedent which may or may not be satisfied. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Restructuring Agreement and the Resumption Proposal may or may not proceed.

The publication of this announcement does not indicate that the Resumption Proposal will be completed, nor does it indicate any decision or conclusion from the Stock Exchange or warrant any approval from the Stock Exchange on the resumption of trading in the Shares. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares or securities of the Company.
