RIGHTS ISSUE

ON THE BASIS OF ONE (1) RIGHTS SHARE FOR EVERY TWO (2) EXISTING SHARES

HELD ON THE RECORD DATE

ON A NON-UNDERWRITTEN BASIS

INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcement, pursuant to which the Board announced that the Company proposed to raise up to approximately HK$650.8 million before expenses, by issuing 793,627,989 Rights Shares to the Qualifying Shareholders by way of the Rights Issue on the basis of one (1) Rights Share for every two (2) existing Shares at the Subscription Price of HK$0.82 per Rights Share. The Rights Issue is only available to the Qualifying Shareholders.

The purpose of this prospectus is to provide you with, among other things, further information on the Rights Issue, including the procedures for acceptance of the Rights Shares provisionally allotted to you and application for excess Rights Shares, together with the financial and other information of the Company.

millionbeforeThe 793,627,989 Rights Shares proposed to be provisionally allotted pursuant to the terms of the Rights Issue represent (i) 50% of the existing issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) approximately 33% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the allotment and issue of the Rights Shares, assuming no new Shares (other than the Rights Shares) are allotted and issued on or before completion of the Rights Issue.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, there is an aggregate outstanding amount of HK$20,021.20 of the mandatorily convertible notes issued by the Company on 22 June 2012 at HK$0.50 per Share convertible into 40,042 Shares. Save as disclosed, there are no other outstanding derivative, options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights to subscribe for Shares or securitiesconvertible or exchangeable into Shares as at the Latest Practicable Date. Such convertible notes are convertible at any time after their issuance, and the conversion date will be deemed to be the 30th Business Day following the surrender of such convertible notes certificates by the convertible noteholder with a notice of conversion, and the convertible noteholder will be deemed to be the holder of the Shares so converted with effect from the aforesaid conversion date. If and to the extent that the minimum public float requirements in respect of the Shares under the Listing Rules could not be complied with immediately after the purported exercise of the conversion rights of any holder of the convertible notes, such holder shall not be entitled to exercise such conversion rights. From the date of the Announcement and until 5 January 2021 (being the date by which a conversion notice needs to be received in order to be entitled to participate in the Rights Issue), the Company has not received any conversion notice, indication or undertaking from the holders of the convertible notes as to the exercise of the conversions rights attached to the convertible notes, and whether the current holders of the convertible notes will subscribe for the Rights Issue.

The Subscription Price

The Subscription Price is HK$0.82 per Rights Share and is payable in full when a Qualifying Shareholder accepts the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares or applies for excess Rights Shares or when a transferee of nil-paid Rights Shares applies for the relevant Rights Shares.

The Subscription Price represents:

  • (a) a discount of 0% to the closing price of HK$0.82 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;

  • (b) a discount of 0% to the closing price of HK$0.82 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;

  • (c) a discount of approximately 1.2% to the average closing price of HK$0.83 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day;

  • (d) a discount of approximately 2.4% to the average closing price of HK$0.84 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Last Trading Day;

  • (e) a discount of 0% to the theoretical ex-rights price of HK$0.82 based on the closing price of HK$0.82 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day; and

(f) a discount of approximately 59.5% to the net asset value of approximately HK$2.02 per

Share based on the audited net asset value attributable to owners of the Company of approximately HK$3,214 million as at 31 December 2020 and 1,587,255,979 Shares.

The Directors have observed the deep discount to the net asset value mentioned in paragraph (f) above. Nevertheless, taking into account the fact that the Shares were traded at a discount to the net asset value per Share over the 12-month period up to and including the Last Trading Day ranging from approximately 19.3% on 1 January 2020 to 59.4% on 31 December 2020, with an average of approximately 31.8%, the Board is of the view that the net asset value per Share may not be a meaningful reference to determine the Subscription Price.

The Subscription Price was determined by the Directors with reference to the market price of the Shares under the prevailing market conditions preceding and including the date of the Last Trading Day. The net price per Rights Share (i.e. Subscription Price less cost and expenses incurred in the Rights Issue) upon full acceptance of the relevant provisional allotment of Rights Shares will be approximately HK$0.81.

The Directors considered that (i) the Shares have always been trading at a deep discount to the net asset value per Share throughout the past 12 months prior to the Last Trading Day; (ii) the average share price of the Company for the period of three months and six months ended on the Last Trading Day of HK$0.84 and HK$1.33, respectively, also represents a deep discount of 58.2% and 34.1% to the net asset value per Share as at 31 December 2020; (iii) each Qualifying Shareholder is entitled to subscribe for the Rights Shares at the same Subscription Price in proportion to his/her/its shareholding interest held on the Record Date on a fair and equal basis; and (iv) the proceeds from the Rights Issue can finance the potential investment of the Group and help improve the financial position of the Group. The Directors are also aware that it is not unprecedented for the subscription price of a rights issue to be equivalent to (or at a premium over) the closing price at the last trading day. Based on the above, the Directors consider that the terms of the Rights Issue (including the Subscription Price) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

With regards to the subscription ratio, the Directors considered (i) although the ratio may create odd lots for some Shareholders, the Directors have reviewed recent rights issues conducted in the market and noted that it is not uncommon for subscription ratios to create odd lots; and (ii) as the subscription ratio may create odd lots, the Company has appointed the Registrar to stand in the market and provide matching services on a best effort basis for holders of odd lots of Shares. For details, please refer to the paragraph headed "Odd lot matching services" below.

Basis of provisional allotments

The basis of the provisional allotment shall be one (1) Rights Share (in nil-paid form) for every two (2) existing Shares in issue and held by the Qualifying Shareholders on the Record Date. Application for all or any part of a Qualifying Shareholder's provisional allotment should be made by completing the PAL and lodging the same with a remittance for the Rights Shares being applied for. Please refer to the paragraph headed "Procedures for acceptance and payment or transfer" below for further details. Any holdings (or balance of holdings) of less than two (2) Shares will not entitle their holders to be provisionally allotted a Rights Share. Please refer to the arrangement as referred to in the paragraph headed "Fractional entitlements" below.

If a Qualifying Shareholder wishes to accept only part of, or transfer a part of, his/her/its Rights Shares provisionally allotted to him/her/it under the PAL or to transfer his/her/its rights to more than one person, please refer to the sub-paragraphs headed "Transfers and "splitting" of nil-paid Rights Shares" under the paragraph headed "Procedures for acceptance and payment or transfer" below.

Fractional entitlements

The Company will not provisionally allot and will not accept applications for any fractions of the Rights Shares. All fractions of the Rights Shares will be aggregated (and rounded down to the nearest whole number) and all nil-paid Rights Shares arising from such aggregation will be sold in the market and the proceeds will be retained by the Company for its own benefit, if a premium (net of expenses and stamp duty) can be obtained. Any such unsold aggregated fractions of nil-paid Rights Shares will be made available for excess application by the Qualifying Shareholders (other than the PRC Southbound Trading Investors).

Odd lot matching services

Upon completion of the Rights Issue, the board lots of the Company will remain as 1,000 Shares. In order to facilitate the trading of odd lots of Shares which will arise upon the Rights Issue, the Company has appointed the Registrar whose address is at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong as an agent to provide matching service, on a best effort basis, to those Shareholders who wish to acquire odd lots of the Shares to make up a full board lot, or to dispose of their holding of odd lots of the Shares. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this service are recommended to make an appointment in advance by dialling the telephone number of the Registrar at telephone number (852) 2862 8555 from 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, 25 March 2021 to 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 15 April 2021.

Holders of Shares in odd lots should note that the matching services mentioned above are on a "best effort" basis only and successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of Shares is not guaranteed and will depend on there being adequate amount of odd lots of Shares available for matching. Any Shareholder who is in any doubt about the odd lots arrangements is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.

Status of the Rights Shares

The Rights Shares (when allotted, issued and fully-paid) will rank pari passu in all respects with the then existing Shares in issue. Holders of the fully-paid Rights Shares will be entitled to receive all future dividends and distributions which are declared, made or paid in respect thereof on or after the date of allotment and issue of such Rights Shares in their fully-paid form.

Qualifying Shareholders

The Rights Issue will only be available to the Qualifying Shareholders. The Company will send the Prospectus Documents to the Qualifying Shareholders, and this prospectus will only be sent to the Excluded Shareholders for their information only if the Company reasonably considers it practicable to do so. Please take special note that the Company will send the PAL and EAF to the Qualifying Shareholders only.

To qualify for the Rights Issue, a Shareholder must: (i) be registered as a member of the Company at 5:00 p.m. on the Record Date; and (ii) not be an Excluded Shareholder.

For the entitlement of Overseas Shareholders (excluding the PRC Southbound Trading Investors), in participation of the Rights Issue, please refer to "Rights of the Overseas Shareholders" below. For the entitlement of the PRC Southbound Trading Investors in participation of the Rights Issue, please refer to "Rights of PRC Southbound Trading Investors" below.

Qualifying Shareholders who take up their pro rata entitlement in full will not suffer any dilution to their interests in the Company (except in relation to any dilution resulting from the taking up by third parties of any Rights Shares arising from the aggregation of fractional entitlements). If a Qualifying Shareholder does not take up his/her/its/their entitlement in full under the Rights Issue, his/her/its/their proportionate shareholding in the Company may be diluted.

Rights of PRC Southbound Trading Investors

According to the "Stock Connect Southbound Shareholding Search" available on the Stock Exchange's website, as at 10 February 2021, ChinaClear held 229,507 Shares, representing approximately 0.01% of the total number of the issued Shares.

The Directors have made the relevant enquiries and they were advised that the PRC Southbound Trading Investors who hold Shares through ChinaClear as nominee under China Connect can participate in the Rights Issue through ChinaClear. ChinaClear will provide nominee services for the PRC Southbound Trading Investors to (i) sell (in full or in part) their nil-paid Rights Shares on the Stock Exchange; and/or (ii) subscribe for the Rights Shares (in full or in part) for their pro rata entitlement in respect of Shares held on the Record Date at the Subscription Price under the Rights Issue in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations. In addition, according to the PRC legal adviser of the Company, the PRC Southbound Trading Investors (or the relevant ChinaClear participants as the case may be) whose stock accounts are credited with nil-paid Rights Shares could only sell those nil-paid Rights Shares on the Stock Exchange under China Connect but could not purchase any other nil-paid Rights Shares nor transfer any nil-paid Rights Shares to other PRC Southbound Trading Investors. The PRC Southbound Trading Investors cannot sell or subscribe for Rights Shares until after the Company completes its filing with the CSRC.

The PRC Southbound Trading Investors should seek advice from their intermediary (including broker, custodian, nominee or ChinaClear participant) and/or other professional advisers for details of the logistical arrangements as required by ChinaClear, and provide instructions for such intermediary in relation to the acceptance and/or sale of the nil-paid Rights Shares. Such instructions should be given in advance of the latest time for acceptance of and payment for the Rights Shares (4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 17 March 2021) or last day of dealing in nil-paid Rights Shares (Friday, 12 March 2021) and otherwise in accordance with the requirements of the intermediary of the PRC Southbound Trading Investors and/or ChinaClear in order to allow sufficient time to ensure that such instructions are given effect.

According to the PRC legal adviser of the Company, as the Prospectus Documents have not been and are not intended to be filed with or approved by the CSRC other than in accordance with the relevant requirements of China Connect, the Rights Shares in nil-paid or fully-paid forms issued to the PRC Southbound Trading Investors shall not be offered and may not be offered or sold directly or indirectly in the PRC to any person or entity, unless through China Connect, or the person or entity has otherwise been exempt by or has obtained the necessary and appropriate approvals from the relevant PRC authorities in accordance with the applicable PRC laws and regulations.

The Prospectus Documents may not be distributed in or forwarded to the PRC or used in connection with any offer for subscription or sale of the Rights Shares (in nil-paid and fully-paid forms) in the PRC, except that the same may be despatched to ChinaClear or to the extent in compliance with applicable PRC laws and regulations, and the Prospectus Documents may not be made publicly available in the PRC.

Rights of the Overseas Shareholders

The Prospectus Documents are not expected to be registered under the applicable securities legislation of any jurisdiction other than (i) Hong Kong and (ii) the PRC, in accordance with the CSRC Notice after the approval from the Stock Exchange for the listing of the Rights Shares (in nil-paid and fully-paid forms) has been obtained.

If at the close of business on the Record Date, a Shareholder's address on the Company's register of members is in a place outside Hong Kong, such Shareholder may or may not be eligible to take part in the Rights Issue. If, based on the advice provided by the legal advisers to the Company pursuant to the Company's enquiries in compliance with Rule 13.36(2)(a) of the Listing Rules and make enquiries regarding the feasibility of extending the offer of the Rights Shares to the Overseas Shareholders (if any), the Directors consider that it is necessary or expedient not to offer the Rights Shares to any Overseas Shareholders on account of either the legal restrictions under the laws of the place(s) of their registered address(es) or the requirements of the relevant regulatory body(ies) or stock exchange(s) in such place(s), the Rights Issue will not be extended to such Overseas Shareholders.

Based on the register of members of the Company as at 10 February 2021, there were 308 Overseas Shareholders with registered addresses in 23 jurisdictions, which collectively held 859,740 Shares in aggregate (representing approximately 0.05% of the total number of issued Shares).

Overseas Shareholders who are Qualifying Shareholders

The Company has been advised by its legal advisers in Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Pakistan, Panama, Spain and Taiwan in relation to the relevant laws of the respective jurisdictions that there is no legal restriction under the applicable legislation or requirement of any relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in the respective jurisdictions with respect to extending the Rights Issue to the Overseas Shareholders with registered addresses in such jurisdictions, provided that no solicitation or other securities offering activities will be carried out to non-specific persons in the respective jurisdictions. Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be extended to the Overseas Shareholders with registered addresses in Indonesia, Macau, Malaysia, Pakistan, Panama, Spain and Taiwan.

Excluded Shareholders

Excluded Shareholders are (i) those Overseas Shareholders; and (ii) those Shareholders and Beneficial Owners who are known by the Company to be residents of places outside Hong Kong (other than the PRC Southbound Trading Investors), in respect of whom the Directors, based onrelevant enquiries, consider it is necessary or expedient not to offer the Rights Shares on account either of the legal restrictions under the Laws of the relevant place in which the Shareholder or Beneficial Owner (as the case maybe) is located or any requirement of the relevant regulatory body or stock exchange in that place.

Based on the advice of the Company's legal advisers in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, the PRC (other than the PRC Southbound Trading Investors), Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the United States (being the Specified Territories) and having considered the circumstances, the Directors have formed the view that, other than subject to certain limited exceptions as described below, it is necessary or expedient not to offer the nil-paid Rights Shares or the Rights Shares to Overseas Shareholders in the Specified Territories (other than the PRC Southbound Trading Investors) due to the time and costs involved in the registration or filing of the Prospectus Documents and/or approval required by the relevant authorities in the Specified Territories and/or additional steps the Group and/or Overseas Shareholders need to take to comply with the local legal requirements and/or other requirements to be satisfied in order to comply with relevant local legal or regulatory requirements in the Specified Territories.

Accordingly, for the purposes of the Rights Issue, the Excluded Shareholders are:

  • (i) any Shareholder(s) whose name(s) appeared in the register of members of the Company at the close of business on the Record Date and whose address(es) as shown on such register is/are in any of the Specified Territories, except for those Overseas Shareholders who fulfil, to the satisfaction of the Company, the relevant requirements specified in the paragraph headed "Limited categories of persons in the Specified Territories who may be able to take up their nil-paid Rights Shares and subscribe for the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue" in this section; and

  • (ii) any Shareholders or Beneficial Owners on the Record Date who are otherwise known by the Company to be residing in any of the Specified Territories, except for those Shareholders or Beneficial Owners residing in France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand and the United Kingdom who fulfil the requirements specified in the paragraph below headed "Limited categories of persons in the Specified Territories who may be able to take up their nil-paid Rights Shares and subscribe for the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue" to the satisfaction of the Company.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this prospectus or the PAL or the EAF, the Company reserves the right to permit any Shareholder to take up his/her/its rights if the Company, in its absolute discretion, is satisfied that the transaction in question is exempt from or not subject to the legislation or regulations giving rise to the restrictions in question.

Receipt of this prospectus and/or a PAL and/or an EAF or the crediting of Rights Share(s) in nil-paid form to a stock account in CCASS does not and will not constitute an offer in those jurisdictions in which it would be illegal to make an offer and, in those circumstances, this prospectus and/or a PAL and/or an EAF must be treated as sent for information only and should not be copied or redistributed. Persons (including, without limitation, custodians, nominees and trustees) who receive a copy of this prospectus and/or a PAL and/or an EAF or whose stock account in CCASS is credited with Rights Share(s) in nil-paid form should not, in connection with the Rights Issue, distribute in or send the same in, into or from, or transfer Rights Share(s) in nil-paid form to any person in, into or from, any of the Specified Territories. If a PAL or an EAF or a credit of Rights Share(s) in nil-paid form in a stock account in CCASS is received by any person in any such territories, or by his/her/its agent or nominee, he/she/it should not seek to take up the rights referred to in the PAL or transfer the PAL (or apply for any excess Rights Shares under the EAF) or transfer the Rights Share(s) in nil-paid form in CCASS unless the Company determines that such actions would not violate any applicable legal or regulatory requirements. Any person (including, without limitation, custodians, nominees and trustees) who does forward this prospectus or a PAL or an EAF in, into or from any Specified Territories (whether under a contractual or legal obligation or otherwise) should draw the recipient's attention to the contents of this section.

The arrangements described in the above paragraph will not apply to any Excluded Shareholder who is a Shareholder or Beneficial Owner residing in any of the Specified Territories but (in the case of a Shareholder) whose address, or (in the case of a Beneficial Owner) who holds his/her/its interest in Shares through a Registered Owner whose address, is shown in the Register of Members on the Record Date as not being in a Specified Territory. Such Shareholders and Beneficial Owners (other than the PRC Southbound Trading Investors) are referred to herein as "Excluded Beneficial Owners" and may include Beneficial Owners holding interests in Shares through CCASS (which Shares are registered in the Register of Members in the name of HKSCC Nominees Limited, a company incorporated in Hong Kong). The Company is unable to extend those arrangements to such Excluded Beneficial Owners as the Company does not have the necessary information in relation to such Excluded Beneficial Owners to make a unilateral determination as to whether those Shareholders or Beneficial Owners are Excluded Shareholders for the purposes of the Rights Issue. Instead of the arrangements described above, the nil-paid Rights Shares which would otherwise have been available to be taken up by those Excluded Beneficial Owners will not be sold in the market and the relevant Excluded Beneficial Owners will not receive the proceeds of any such sale. All Excluded Beneficial Owners are advised to seektheir own legal advice as to whether or not they may be permitted, having regard to their own particular circumstances (including the laws and regulations of the relevant jurisdiction in which they are resident), to sell their nil-paid Rights Shares in the market. Any such nil-paid Rights Shares which are not sold in the market by Excluded Beneficial Owners will be made available for excess applications on EAFs by Qualifying Shareholders (other than the PRC Southbound Trading Investors).

With respect to Excluded Shareholders who hold interests in Shares through CCASS, their nominees, custodians or other Intermediaries may sell, on such Excluded Shareholders' behalf, their entitlements to the nil-paid Rights Shares in compliance with applicable securities laws and distribute the proceeds thereof as appropriate. None of the nominees, custodians or other Intermediaries of any Excluded Shareholders located in the United States may distribute, forward or deliver, electronically or otherwise, any Prospectus Documents to, nor take up, exercise, subscribe for any Rights Shares in nil-paid or fully-paid forms for, or on behalf of, any Excluded Shareholders within the United States.

Arrangements will be made for the Rights Shares which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to the Excluded Shareholders to be sold in the market in their nil-paid form as soon as practicable after dealings in the nil-paid Rights Shares commence on the Stock Exchange and in any event before the last day for dealings in nil-paid Rights Shares if a premium (net of expenses) can be obtained. Proceeds of each sale, less expenses and stamp duty, above HK$100 will be distributed by the Company to the relevant Excluded Shareholders pro rata to their shareholdings on the Record Date (but rounded down to the nearest cent) in Hong Kong dollars. The Company will retain individual amounts of HK$100 or less for the benefit of the Company. Any unsold nil-paid Rights Shares of the Excluded Shareholders will be made available for excess application by the Qualifying Shareholders (other than the PRC Southbound Trading Investors).

Overseas Shareholders should note that he/she/it/they may or may not be entitled to the Rights Issue, subject to the results of enquiries made by the Directors pursuant to Rule 13.36(2) of the Listing Rules. The Company reserves the right to treat as invalid any acceptance of or application for the nil-paid Rights Shares where it believes that such acceptance or application would violate the applicable securities or other laws or regulations of any territory or jurisdiction. Accordingly, Overseas Shareholders and Beneficial Owners who are residing outside Hong Kong should exercise caution when dealing in the Shares and/or the nil-paid Rights Shares.

Limited categories of persons in the Specified Territories who may be able to take up their nil-paid Rights Shares and subscribe for the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue

Notwithstanding what is said above regarding Excluded Shareholders, the following limited categories of persons in the Specified Territories may be able to take up their nil-paid Rights Shares and subscribe for the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue. Shareholders within the France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand and the United Kingdom are generally Excluded Shareholders. However, the Company can rely on an exemption from prospectus registration requirements with regard to the Rights Issue and extend the offer to such Shareholders provided that they fulfil the relevant requirements under relevant laws and regulations to the satisfaction of the Company.

The Company reserves the absolute discretion in determining whether to allow such participation as well as the identity of the persons who may be allowed to do so.

Procedures for acceptance and payment or transfer

General

Any person (including, without limitation, agents, nominees and trustees) wishing to take up his/her/its rights under the Rights Issue must satisfy himself/herself/itself as to full observance of the applicable Laws of any relevant territories including obtaining any requisite governmental or other consents, observing any other requisite formalities and paying any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such territories. The attention of Shareholders with registered addresses in, and Shareholders or Beneficial Owners who are otherwise residing in, any of the Specified Territories (other than the PRC Southbound Trading Investors) and persons holding Shares on behalf of persons with such addresses or residences is drawn to the sections above headed "Rights of the Overseas Shareholders" and "Limited categories of persons in the Specified Territories who may be able to take up their nil-paid Rights Shares and subscribe for the Rights Shares under the Rights Issue".

Each purchaser of nil-paid Rights Shares or subscriber of Rights Shares will be deemed (by accepting delivery of this prospectus) to have given each of the following representations and warranties to the Company, unless in their sole discretion the Company waives such requirement:

  • • He/she/it was a Shareholder on the Record Date, or he/she/it lawfully acquired or may lawfully acquire the rights, directly or indirectly, from such a person;

  • • He/she/it may lawfully be offered, take up, obtain, subscribe for and receive the rights and/or the Rights Shares in the jurisdiction in which he/she/it resides or is currently located;

  • • He/she/it is not resident or located in, or a citizen of, the U.S.;

  • • He/she/it is not accepting an offer to acquire or take up the rights or Rights Shares on a non-discretionary basis for a person or for the account of a person who is resident or located in, or a citizen of, the U.S. at the time the instruction to accept was given;

  • • He/she/it is acquiring the rights and/or the Rights Shares in an "offshore transaction" as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act;

  • • He/she/it has not been offered the Rights Shares by means of any "directed selling efforts" as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act;

  • • He/she/it is not acquiring rights or Rights Shares or subscribing for or accepting Rights Shares with a view to the offer, sale, renouncement, transfer, delivery or distribution, directly or indirectly, of such rights or Rights Shares into the U.S.; and

  • • He/she/it understands that neither the rights nor the Rights Shares have been or will be registered under the U.S. Securities Act or with any securities regulatory authority of any state, territories, or possession of the U.S. and the rights and Rights Shares are being distributed and offered only outside the U.S. in reliance on Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act. Consequently he/she/it understands the rights or Rights Shares may not be offered, sold, renounced, pledged or otherwise transferred in or into the U.S., except in reliance on an exemption from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act.

For the avoidance of doubt, neither HKSCC nor HKSCC Nominees Limited is subject to any of the representations and warranties above.

A PAL can be lodged from Friday, 26 February 2021 to Wednesday, 17 March 2021 (both days inclusive) at these times:

Monday to Friday:

9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.;

Saturday:

9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon; and

Last day for acceptance (Wednesday,

17 March 2021):

9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m..

It should be noted that unless the PAL, together with the appropriate remittance, has been lodged with the Registrar or any one of the designated branches of the Receiving Bank as mentioned above by 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 17 March 2021 whether by the original allottee or any person to whom the rights have been validly transferred, the relevant provisional allotment and all rights thereunder will be deemed to have been declined and will be cancelled. The Company may, at its discretion, treat a PAL as valid and binding on the person(s) by whom or on whose behalf it is lodged even if not completed in accordance with the relevant instructions.

The PAL contains further information regarding the procedures to be followed for acceptance of the whole or part of the provisional allotment of the Rights Shares by the Qualifying Shareholders.

All cheques and cashier's orders will be presented for payment following receipt and all interest earned on such monies will be retained for the benefit of the Company. Any PAL in respect of which the cheque or cashier's order is dishonoured on first presentation is liable to be rejected, and in that event the provisional allotment and all rights thereunder will be deemed to have been declined and will be cancelled. Completion and return of PAL together with a cheque or cashier's order in payment for the Rights Shares accepted will constitute a warranty by the applicant(s) that the cheque or cashier's order will be honoured on first presentation. If the Rights Issue does not proceed, the monies received in respect of the relevant provisional allotments will be refunded to the Qualifying Shareholders or such other person to whom the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form have been validly renounced or transferred or, in the case of joint acceptances, to the first-named person, without interest and by means of cheques despatched by ordinary post at the risk of such Qualifying Shareholders or such other persons to their registered addresses by the Registrar on or before Wednesday, 24 March 2021.

You must pay the exact amount payable upon application for the Rights Shares by cheque or cashier's order or any method agreed by the Company. Underpaid applications will be rejected. In the event of overpaid application, a refund cheque will be made out to you only if the overpaid amount is HK$100 or above.

Transfers and "splitting" of nil-paid Rights Shares

The nil-paid Rights Shares can be traded on the Stock Exchange. A Qualifying Shareholder can accept all of his/her/its provisional allotment of Rights Shares, or sell all of his/her/its provisional allotment on the Stock Exchange or accept only part of his/her/its provisional allotment and sell the remaining part on the Stock Exchange.

If a Qualifying Shareholder wishes to accept only part of, or to renounce or to transfer a part of, his/her/its Rights Shares provisionally allotted to him/her/it under the PAL or to renounce or to transfer his/her/its rights to more than one person, the entire PAL must be surrendered and lodged for cancellation together with a covering letter stating clearly the number of split PALs required and the number of nil-paid Rights Shares to be comprised in each split PAL (which, in aggregate, should be equal to the number of Rights Shares provisionally allotted to such holder as stated in Box B of the original PAL), no later than 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, 9 March 2021 to the Registrar at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, which will cancel the original PAL and issue new PALs in the denominations required which will be available for collection from the Registrar at the above address after 9:00 a.m. on the second Business Day after the surrender of the original PAL. This process is commonly known as "splitting" the nil-paid Rights Shares.

Having "split" the nil-paid Rights Shares, a Qualifying Shareholder who wishes to accept the provisional allotment of Rights Shares represented by a new PAL should do so in accordance with the instructions given in the paragraph headed "Subscription for all Rights Shares provisionally allotted".

If a Qualifying Shareholder wishes to renounce or transfer all of his/her/its nil-paid Rights Shares under a PAL (or a split PAL, as the case may be) to another person, he/she/it should complete and sign the "Form of Transfer and Nomination" (Form B) in the PAL and hand the PAL to the person to or through whom he/she/it is transferring his/her/its nil-paid Rights Shares. The transferee must then complete and sign the same "Registration Application Form" (Form C) in the PAL and lodge the PAL intact together with a remittance for the full amount payable on acceptance with the Registrar or any one of the designated branches of the Receiving Bank no later than 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, 17 March 2021.

It should be noted that Hong Kong stamp duty is payable in connection with the transfer of nil-paid Rights Shares to the transferee(s) and the acceptance by the transferee(s) of such rights.

The Company reserves the right to refuse to register any transfer in favour of any person in respect of which the Company believes such transfer may violate applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

The Directors will allocate the excess Rights Shares (if any) at their discretion on a fair and equitable basis and on a pro rata basis in proportion to the number of excess Rights Shares being applied for under each application. No reference will be made to Rights Shares subscribed through applications by PAL(s) or the existing number of Shares held by Qualifying Shareholders. If the aggregate number of Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders under PAL(s) is greater than the aggregate number of excess Rights Shares applied for through EAF(s), the Directors will allocate in full to each Qualifying Shareholder (other than the PRC Southbound Trading Investors) the number of excess Rights Shares applied for under the EAF(s).

In applying the above principles, reference will only be made to the number of excess Rights Shares being applied for. No preference will be given to topping up odd lots to whole board lots.

If no excess Rights Shares are allotted and issued to a Qualifying Shareholder (other than the PRC Southbound Trading Investors), the amount tendered on application is expected to be refunded to that Qualifying Shareholder in full without any interest by means of cheque(s) despatched by ordinary post and at the risk of such Shareholder on or before Wednesday, 24 March 2021.

If the Rights Issue does not proceed, the monies received in respect of relevant applications for excess Rights Shares will be refunded to the relevant persons without interest, by means of cheque(s) to be despatched by ordinary post at the risk of such persons on or before Wednesday, 24 March 2021.

All cheques and cashier's orders will be presented for payment following receipt and all interest earned on such monies will be retained for the benefit of the Company. Any EAF in respect of which the cheque or cashier's order is dishonoured on first presentation is liable to be rejected. Completion and return of an EAF together with a cheque or cashier's order in payment for the excess Rights Shares will constitute a warranty by the applicant(s) that the cheque or cashier's order will be honoured on first presentation. The EAF is for use only by the person(s) to whom it is addressed and is not transferable. All documents, including cheques or cashier's orders for amounts due, will be sent at the risk of the persons entitled thereto to their registered addresses by the Registrar. The Company may, at its discretion, treat an EAF as valid and binding on the person(s) by whom or on whose behalf it is lodged even if not completed in accordance with the relevant instructions.

Accordingly, Beneficial Owners whose Shares are registered in the name of a Registered Owner, or which are held in CCASS, should note that the aforesaid arrangement in relation to the allocation of excess Rights Shares will not be extended to them individually.

It is the responsibility of the relevant beneficial owners and/or their respective agents, custodians, nominees or trustees wishing to make an application for the Rights Shares to satisfy himself/herself/itself as to the full observance of the laws and regulations of the relevant territory or jurisdiction, including obtaining any governmental or other consents and to pay any taxes, duties and other amounts required to be paid in such territory or jurisdiction in connection therewith.

This prospectus will only be sent to the Excluded Shareholders for their information if the Company reasonably considers it practicable to do so.

Application for listing

The Company has applied to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms to be issued and allotted pursuant to the Rights Issue. The nil-paid and fully-paid Rights Shares will be traded in board lots of 1,000 Shares.

No part of the Shares for which listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought, is listed, or dealt in on any other stock exchange.

Shareholders should seek advice from their stockbroker or other professional advisers for details of those settlement arrangements and how such arrangements will affect their rights and interests.

Rights Shares will be eligible for admission into CCASS

Subject to the granting of listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in both nil-paid and fully-paid forms on the Stock Exchange, the Rights Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Rights Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the "General Rules of CCASS" and "CCASS Operational Procedures" in effect from time to time.

Shareholders should seek advice from their stockbroker or other professional advisers for details of those settlement arrangements and how such arrangements will affect their rights and interests if they are in any doubt.

Stamp duty and other applicable fees and charges

Dealings in the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms, which are registered in the Registrar, will be subject to the payment of stamp duty, Stock Exchange trading fee, SFC transaction levy or any other applicable fees and charges in Hong Kong.

Taxation

Shareholders are advised to consult their professional advisers if they are in doubt as to the taxation implications of the receipt, purchase, holding, exercising their rights in, disposing of or dealing in the nil-paid Rights Shares or the fully-paid Rights Shares and, regarding the Excluded Shareholders, their receipt of the net proceeds, if any, from sale of the nil-paid Rights Shares on their behalf. It is emphasised that none of the Company, its Directors or any other parties involved in the Rights Issue accepts responsibility for any tax effects or liabilities of any person resulting from the purchase, holding or disposal of, or dealing in, the Rights Shares in both their nil-paid and fully-paid forms.

Rights Issue on a non-underwritten basis

Subject to the fulfilment of the conditions of the Rights Issue, the Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptances of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. In the event that there is an under-subscription of the Rights Issue, the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly. There is no minimum amount which must be raised in order for the Rights Issue to proceed.

Besides, any Shareholder who applies to take up all or part of his/her/its entitlement under the PAL or apply for excess Rights Shares under EAF may unwittingly incur an obligation to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code, unless a waiver from the Executive (as defined in the Takeovers Code) has been obtained.

Accordingly, the Rights Issue will be made on the term that the Company will provide for Shareholders to apply on the basis that if the Rights Shares are not fully taken up, the applications of any Shareholder for his/her/its entitlement under the PAL or for excess Rights Shares under the EAF can be scaled down to a level which does not trigger an obligation on part of the relevant Shareholder to make a general offer under the Takeovers Code.

Conditions of the Rights Issue

The Rights Issue is conditional upon each of the following conditions being fulfilled:

(a) the delivery to the Stock Exchange for authorisation and registration with the Registrar of Companies in Hong Kong respectively one copy of each of the Prospectus Documents duly signed by two Directors (or by their agents duly authorised in writing) as having been approved by resolution of the Board (and all other documents required to be attached thereto) no later than the Posting Date and otherwise in compliance with the Listing Rules and the Companies (WUMP) Ordinance;

  • (b) the posting of the Prospectus Documents to Qualifying Shareholders on the Posting Date; and

  • (c) the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting, or agreeing to grant (subject to allotment), the listing of and permission to deal in the Rights Shares in their nil-paid and fully-paid forms, either unconditionally or subject to such conditions as the Company may accept.

None of the above conditions can be waived. If any of the conditions referred to above are not fulfilled at or before 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 18 March 2021, the Rights Issue will not proceed.

As the proposed Rights Issue is subject to the above conditions, it may or may not proceed accordingly.

The Company has also made enquiries with Asian Motion Limited (a controlling shareholder of the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of PCCW) as to its intention in relation to the Rights Shares to be provisionally allotted to it. The Company was informed by Asian Motion Limited that the matter was being considered and that it was not in a position to make a definitive decision as to its participation in the Rights Issue, and as such, no irrevocable undertaking was obtained from Asian Motion Limited in connection with the Rights Issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not received any indication from Asian Motion Limited as to when a decision will be made.

REASONS FOR THE RIGHTS ISSUE AND USE OF PROCEEDS

The Group is principally engaged in the development and management of premium-grade property and infrastructure projects as well as premium-grade property investments.

Assuming that there is no change in the number of issued Shares on or before the Record Date, it is estimated that the Company may raise up to approximately HK$650.8 million from the Rights Issue (assuming full acceptance by the Qualifying Shareholders) and the relevant expenses would be approximately HK$6.5 million, which include placing commission and professional fees payable to financial advisers, legal advisers, financial printer and other parties involved in the Rights Issue. The estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue will accordingly be approximately HK$644.3 million. The Company intends to apply the net proceeds from the Rights Issue for:

  • (i) approximately HK$170 million for the settlement of the remaining construction costs upon the expected conclusion of final accounts of respective contracts, and the costs incurred for post-completion improvement works of the Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono residences and hotel project in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan;

  • (ii) approximately HK$130 million for funding the Group's hotel operations, all-season recreational activities business, and asset management business in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan. In Hokkaido, Japan, as the number of reported cases surged, the government raised its COVID-19 alert and tightened its travel restrictions. In view of the significant uncertainty on the outlook of the tourism industry in Japan, management intends to reserve this as a war chest for funding the working capital requirement for all our businesses in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan;

(iii) approximately HK$107 million for the ongoing construction of infrastructure, including utilities, landscaping works, design and planning for the next phase development and the new facilities for the expansion of resort-wide services and activities, in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan, to further develop our Niseko Hanazono resort as an all-season worldwide attraction;

  • (iv) approximately HK$60 million for the pre-opening expenditure and the ongoing operating costs of the golf club operation in Phang Nga, Thailand which is expected to commence in mid-2021 depending on the COVID-19 situation; and

  • (v) the remainder of up to approximately HK$177.3 million for servicing general corporate debt and general corporate purposes, as well as the costs associated to the residential redevelopment project in Hong Kong.

If the Rights Issue is under-subscribed (assuming nil acceptance of the Rights Shares by the Qualifying Shareholders other than PCRD and PCGH pursuant to the Irrevocable Undertakings) and the net proceeds (after the deduction of the costs and expenses relating to the Rights Issue) is approximately HK$268 million, the net proceeds (after the deduction of the costs and expenses relating to the Rights Issue) will be first applied towards the settlement of the remaining construction costs upon the expected conclusion of final accounts of respective contracts, and the costs incurred for post-completion improvement works of the Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono residences and hotel project in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan, and the remainder will be applied towards the war chest to fund the working capital requirements of all our businesses in Niseko, Hokkaido, Japan.

The Qualifying Shareholders who elect not to participate in the Rights Issue will have the opportunity to sell the nil-paid Rights Shares in the market while the Qualifying Shareholders who wish to increase their shareholding in the Company through the Rights Issue will have the opportunity to acquire additional nil-paid Rights Shares in the market and/or through application for excess Rights Shares.

The Directors consider that the Rights Issue provides a good opportunity for the Group to strengthen its capital base without incurring debt financing cost and to enhance its financial position, while at the same time the Rights Issue will enable the Shareholders to participate in the future development of the Company. Therefore, the Directors are of the view that it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole to raise capital through the Rights Issue.

The Group has considered fund raising by issuing debt securities or debt financing (including project financing which may be of lower interest rate than other bank loans for its projects) but the Board considers that any further debt financing or borrowings for the time being would increase the gearing ratio of the Group, leading to the Group incurring further interest expenses which is contrary to the Board's intention to reduce the gearing ratio and interest expenses of the Group to a more favourable level. Therefore, the Board has ruled out debt financing as a source for raising funds in this occasion.

The Board also considered the option of placing new Shares, but taking into account (i) the dilution of the interests of Shareholders without giving them the opportunity to take part in the exercise; and (ii) the engagement of a placing agent which would incur additional costs and expenses on the part of the Company, it was not considered by the Board to be the most suitable fund-raising method for the Company in this occasion. Further, the Board considered that a rights issue would be more favourable and attractive to the Shareholders than an open offer because it would allow Shareholders to have more flexibility in dealing in the Shares and the nil-paid rights attaching thereto. Particularly, a rights issue can help optimize the Company's capital structure, while also achieve fundraising to support the Company's financing needs for the development of and investment into its projects.

In light of the above, the Board is of the view that the Rights Issue is the most appropriate fund-raising method in this occasion and that the terms of the Rights Issue are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Company will make further announcement(s) in the future in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Listing Rules as and when appropriate if any other suitable fund-raising opportunities arise, having regard to the financing needs of the Group at the time.

PREVIOUS FUND RAISING EXERCISE OF THE COMPANY

There has been no equity fund raising activities carried out by the Company in the 12 months immediately preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

GENERAL

The Prospectus Documents, containing further information on the Rights Issue will be despatched to the Qualified Shareholders on Friday, 26 February 2021. This prospectus will only be despatched to the Excluded Shareholders for their information only, if the Company reasonably considers it practicable to do so. Shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution in dealing in the Shares.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Pursuant to Rule 7.19A(1) of the Listing Rules, since the Rights Issue would not increase the issued share capital of the Company by more than 50% (on its own or when aggregated with any other rights issues or open offers announced by the Company (i) within the 12 month period immediately preceding the Announcement; or (ii) prior to such 12 month period where dealing in respect of the Shares issued pursuant thereto commenced within such 12 month period, together with any bonus securities, warrants or other convertible securities (assuming full conversion) granted or to be granted to Shareholders as part of such rights issues or open offers), the Rights Issue is not conditional upon approval by the Shareholders.

WARNING OF THE RISKS OF DEALINGS IN SHARES AND NIL-PAID RIGHTS SHARES

The Rights Issue is subject to the fulfilment of conditions including, among other things, the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Rights Shares in their nil-paid and fully-paid forms. Please refer to the section headed "Letter from the Board - Conditions of the Rights Issue" in this prospectus. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should note that if the conditions to the Rights Issue are not satisfied, the Rights Issue will not proceed.

The Rights Issue will proceed on a non-underwritten basis irrespective of the level of acceptances of the provisionally allotted Rights Shares. In the event the Rights Issue is not fully subscribed, any Rights Shares not taken up by the Qualifying Shareholders or transferees of nil-paid Rights Shares will not be issued by the Company and the size of the Rights Issue will be reduced accordingly. Investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares. Shareholders should note that the Shares have been dealt in on an ex-rights basis commencing from Wednesday, 17 February 2021. The Rights Shares are expected to be dealt with in their nil-paid form from Tuesday, 2 March 2021 to Friday, 12 March 2021 (both days inclusive). Any Shareholders or other persons dealing in the Shares from the date of this prospectus up to the date on which all the conditions of the Rights Issue are fulfilled or waiver (as appropriate) (which is expected to be at 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, 18 March 2021), or any dealings in the Rights Shares in their nil-paid form from Tuesday, 2 March 2021 to Friday, 12 March 2021 (both days inclusive) will accordingly bear the risk that the Rights Issue cannot become unconditional and may not proceed. Any Shareholders or other persons who are in any doubt about their position or any action to be taken are recommended to consult their professional advisers. Shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution in dealing in the securities of the Company.

The register of members of the Company has been closed from Friday, 19 February 2021 to Thursday, 25 February 2021 (both days inclusive) to determine the eligibility of the Qualifying Shareholders. No transfer of Shares has been registered during the book closure period.

Borrowings, repayable within a period

All the bank borrowings are guaranteed by the Company or the companies within the Group. As at 31 December 2020, the Group had HK$5,410 million guaranteed notes listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited. The guaranteed notes are irrevocable and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and rank pari passu with all other outstanding unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the Group.

As confirmed by the Directors, there are no material defaults in payment of bank borrowings and guaranteed notes up to the Latest Practicable Date.

The Group leases various properties for the use of offices and staff quarters. These lease liabilities were measured at net present value of the lease payments during the lease terms that are not yet paid. As at 31 December 2020, the lease liabilities were approximately HK$34 million, of which approximately HK$27 million is due within 1 year, approximately HK$3 million is due more than 1 year but within 2 years and approximately HK$4 million is due after 2 years.

Contingent Liabilities

During the year ended 31 December 2018, the Company's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary (the "Taxpayer") in Indonesia received a tax assessment notice ("2018 Assessment") from the ITO in relation to the creditability of VAT arising from the acquisition of a plot of land in Jakarta, Indonesia in October 2013 ("Land VAT") which amounted to IDR183,834.4 million (approximately HK$100.6 million).

Such Land VAT has been reported as creditable input VAT in the monthly VAT report of the period of October 2013 to compensate future output VAT after the tax assessment issued in 2014. However, after a tax re-audit which was performed by the ITO in 2018, the ITO issued an assessment notice stating that the Land VAT is non-creditable resulting in a tax underpayment of IDR183,834.4 million (approximately HK$100.6 million) and a penalty of IDR183,834.4 million (approximately HK$100.6 million). According to the tax assessment notice, the Taxpayer is required to pay the tax underpayment and penalty totalling IDR367,668.8 million (approximately HK$201 million). The Group has filed an objection against the tax assessment in August 2018 and the ITO issued a decision letter to reject the Group's objection in July 2019. After consideration of professional advice, the Group remains of the view that the ITO has no basis to issue the 2018 Assessment and the Group lodged an appeal to the tax court in September 2019. The Group had attended the tax court hearings during the year ended 31 December 2020 and the process is still ongoing. The amounts of tax and penalty demanded in the assessment have been paid in advance in August 2018 and included in "Prepayments, deposits and other current assets" in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020. No provision of impairment has been recognised for the VAT balance as at 31 December 2020.

Charges

As at 31 December 2020, certain assets of the Group with an aggregated carrying value of approximately HK$8,336 million were mortgaged and pledged to the bank as security for the loan facility (31 December 2019: HK$10,323 million).

Save as disclosed above or as mentioned herein and apart from intra-group liabilities and normal trade payable, the Group did not have, at the close of business on 31 December 2020, any other debt securities issued and outstanding, or authorised or otherwise created but not issued, any other term loans, any other borrowings or indebtedness in the nature of borrowings including bank overdrafts and liabilities under acceptance (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits or material hire purchase commitments, any other mortgages and charges other than the aforesaid bank borrowings or any guarantees or any material finance lease commitments or material contingent liabilities.

Save as disclosed above, the Directors have confirmed that there have been no material changes in the indebtedness and contingent liabilities of the Group from 31 December 2020 to the Latest Practicable Date.

3. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

2020 turned out to be an extremely challenging year for many around the world, filled with uncertainties, lockdowns, travel restrictions; and various changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Entering 2021, whilst the pandemic continues to surge in different parts of the world, we have also witnessed the rolling out of vaccination programs in various countries. Governments around the world strive to stay vigilant against the evolving situation and to seek a balance between suppressing the spread of COVID-19 and providing appropriate support for struggling business environment and paving the way for economic recovery.

The Group's businesses in Asia have been experienced a slow down since last year. The Directors have adjusted the Group's resources and plans to limit the impact of the pandemic on Group's performance. Despite the waves of challenges, PCPD's core businesses in Asian premium property investment, development and management remain our dedicated focus for 2021. The Directors have already started discussions with local teams for the new development projects in Japan and Hong Kong. As for the project in Thailand, depending on the COVID-19 situation, the golf course and golf club are expected to commence operations in mid-2021. Further sales and marketing activities are planned in 2021.

4. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account of the presently available financial resources of the Group and the net cash proceeds from the Rights Issue, the working capital available to the Group is sufficient for the Group's requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of this prospectus.

5. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

Save as disclosed, the Directors confirmed that as at the Latest Practicable Date, there had not been any material adverse change in the financial or trading position or outlook of the Group since 31 December 2020, the date to which the latest audited consolidated financial statements of the Group were made up.

A. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF ADJUSTED CONSOLIDATED NET

TANGIBLE ASSETS ATTRIBUTABLE TO EQUITY HOLDERS OF THE COMPANY

The following is the unaudited pro forma statement of adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group as at 31 December 2020 (the "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information") which has been prepared by the Directors in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules to illustrate the effects of the Rights Issue on the consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to equity holders of the Company as if the Rights Issue had taken place at 31 December 2020.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information is prepared based on the audited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to equity holders of the Company as at 31 December 2020, as extracted from the published preliminary annual results announcements for the year ended 31 December 2020, after incorporating the unaudited pro forma adjustments described in the accompanying notes.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only, based on the judgements and assumptions of the Directors, and because of its hypothetical nature, may not give a true picture of the consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to equity holders of the Company had the Rights Issue been completed as at 31 December 2020 or at any future date.

Notes:

  • 1 The audited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to equity holders of the Company as at 31 December 2020 is based on the audited consolidated net assets of the Group attributable to equity holders of the Company as at 31 December 2020 of HK$3,214 million excluding intangible assets of the Group attributable to equity holders of HK$5 million as extracted from the published preliminary annual results announcements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020. Equity holders of the Company include ordinary shareholders and holders of the mandatorily convertible notes as the mandatorily convertible notes confer upon the holders the same economic interests attached to ordinary shares.

  • 2 The estimated net proceeds from the Rights Issue assuming full acceptance by the Qualifying Shareholders are based on 793,627,989 Rights Shares to be issued on the basis of one Rights Share for every two existing Shares at the Subscription Price of HK$0.82 per Rights Share, after deduction of the related expenses of approximately HK$6.5 million.

  • 3 The unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets per share of the Group attributable to equity holders of the Company as adjusted for the Rights Issue is arrived at after aggregating the audited consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to equity holders of the Company of HK$3,209 million and the estimated net proceeds of HK$644 million from the Rights Issue (Note 2 above) and on the basis that 2,380,924,010 shares were in issue as at 31 December 2020. This assumes 793,627,989 Rights Shares were issued under the Rights Issue and 40,042 Shares were issued on conversion of the mandatorily convertible notes as at 31 December 2020.

  • 4 No adjustments have been made to the unaudited pro forma adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group attributable to equity holders of the Company to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Group entered into subsequent to 31 December 2020.

ACCOUNTANT'S INFORMATIONREPORTONUNAUDITEDPROFORMAFINANCIAL

The following is the text of the assurance report received from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, for the purpose of incorporation in this prospectus.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT'S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Directors of Pacific Century Premium Developments Limited

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Pacific Century Premium Developments Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") by the directors of the Company (the "Directors") for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma statement of adjusted consolidated net tangible assets of the Group as at 31

December 2020 and related notes (the "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information") as set out on pages II-1 to II-2 of the Company's prospectus dated 26 February 2021, in connection with the proposed rights issue of the Company (the "Prospectus"). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are described on pages II-1 to II-2 of the Prospectus.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the proposed rights issue on the Group's financial position as at 31

December 2020 as if the proposed rights issue had taken place at 31 December 2020. As part of this process, information about the Group's financial position has been extracted by the Directors from the Group's financial information for the year ended 31 December 2020 set out in the preliminary annual results announcement, on which no audit or review report has been published.

Directors' Responsibility for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The Directors are responsible for compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7, Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars, (" AG 7 ") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA").

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountant's Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant plans and performs procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in a prospectus is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the proposed rights issue at 31 December 2020 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • • The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and

  • • The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant's judgement, having regard to the reporting accountant's understanding of the nature of the company, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • (a) the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled by the Directors on the basis stated;

  • (b) such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and

  • (c) the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.

Name of company

Nature of business

interests

Li Tzar Kai, Richard

CK Hutchison Holdings

Limited ("CK Hutchison") and its subsidiaries

Ports and related services, retail, infrastructure, energy and telecommunications

(Note)

CK Asset Holdings Limited

("CK Asset") and its subsidiaries

Property development and investment, hotel and serviced suite operation, property and project management, aircraft leasing, pub operation and investment in infrastructure and utility asset operation

(Note)

Note:

Mr Li has a personal interest in 75,240 shares in each of CK Hutchison and CK Asset, and is one of the discretionary beneficiaries of certain discretionary trusts which hold units in unit trusts which in turn are interested in certain shares of CK Hutchison and CK Asset. Certain businesses of CK Hutchison and CK Asset may compete with certain aspects of the businesses of the Group as at the Latest Practicable Date.

In addition, Mr Li is a director of certain private companies (the "Private Companies"), which are engaged in property development and investment.

Further, Mr Li is a director and chairman of PCRD. PCRD is an investment holding company with interests in telecommunications and media (through PCCW), logistics, property and infrastructure investment and development in the Asia Pacific region.

The business interests of the Private Companies in Hong Kong are not significant when compared with the business of the Group and it is unlikely that such business interests will compete with the business of the Group. The business interests in Japan and the Asia Pacific region are also unlikely to compete with the existing business of the Group.

Mr Li has a controlling interest in some of the Private Companies. Further, he is or may be regarded as interested in PCRD and PCGH due to the interests as disclosed under the sub-section headed "Directors' and chief executives' interests and short positions in shares, share stapled units, underlying shares, underlying share stapled units and debentures of the Company and its associated corporations" in this appendix.

As PCRD and the Private Companies are involved in the development and/or investment of properties of different types and/or in different locations, the Group has been operating independently of, and at arm's length from, the businesses of those companies.

Save as disclosed above, none of the Directors or their associates had an interest in any business, apart from the Group's businesses, which competes or is likely to compete, either directly or indirectly, with the Group's businesses as at the Latest Practicable Date.
