JOINT ANNOUNCEMENT DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION


CONVERTIBLE NOTE AGREEMENT AND SUBSCRIPTION AND SHAREHOLDERS' AGREEMENT


As advised and confirmed by SHK, on 10th December, 2015, SHK Capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SHK, entered into (i) the Convertible Note Agreement with CMIH in respect of the subscription of the Convertible Note in an aggregate principal amount of US$100,000,000; and (ii) the Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement with CMI and CMIH, in respect of the exercise of the conversion rights under the Convertible Note Agreement to subscribe for the Conversion Shares and the agreed terms on the rights and obligations of CMIH Shareholders.


As SHK Capital is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SHK, which is an indirect non wholly-owned subsidiary of APL, which in turn is a non wholly-owned subsidiary of AGL, the Transaction entered into by SHK Capital shall be a transaction of each of AGL, APL and SHK under the Listing Rules as the definition of "listed issuer" under the Listing Rules shall include the listed issuer's subsidiaries.


The Transaction constitutes a discloseable transaction of each of AGL, APL and SHK under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules, as the relevant percentage ratio pursuant to Rule

14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Transaction for each of AGL, APL and SHK exceeds 5% but is below 25%. The Transaction is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under the Listing Rules.


As advised and confirmed by SHK, on 10th December, 2015, SHK Capital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SHK, entered into (i) the Convertible Note Agreement with CMIH in respect of the subscription of the Convertible Note in an aggregate principal amount of US$100,000,000; and (ii) the Subscription and Shareholders' Agreement with CMI and CMIH, in respect of the exercise of the conversion rights under the Convertible Note Agreement to subscribe for the Conversion Shares and the agreed terms on the rights and obligations of CMIH Shareholders.


As advised and confirmed by SHK, which has made all reasonable enquiries and based on the confirmations of CMI and CMIH, and to the best knowledge, information and belief of the AGL Directors, APL Directors and SHK Directors, having made all reasonable enquiries, CMI, CMIH and their respective ultimate beneficial owner(s) are all third parties independent of AGL, APL and SHK and their respective connected persons.
