ANNOUNCEMENT

PROFIT WARNING

This announcement is made by Talent Property Group Limited (the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") pursuant to the Inside Information Provisions (as defined in the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules")) under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) and Rule 13.09 of the Listing Rules.

The board of directors of the Company (the "Board") wishes to inform the shareholders (the "Shareholders") and potential investors of the Company that the Group is expected to record a loss of not less than approximately RMB150 million for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the "Reporting Period") as compared with a loss of approximately RMB8.2 million for the six months ended 30 June 2019 (the "Preceding Period").

The material increase in loss during the Reporting Period is attributable to various reasons. During the Reporting Period, in order to facilitate an increase in cash back, the Group provided discount to pre-sale prices regarding projects under development in Yangzhou and Xuzhou after the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak (the "Pandemic"). After consideration of the property market conditions in the region, construction progress and quantities of projects under development, an expected provision for impairment loss totalling not less than approximately RMB125 million is expected to be recorded by reference to revaluation by the Company's independent property valuer. The Pandemic and the on-goingSino-US trade friction have created further challenges against the shoe and footwear industry. As such, as a result of decreased occupancy and provision of short term concession to the tenants in the shoe and footwear industry in our Talent Shoes Trading Center, an unfavourable fair value change on investment properties of approximately RMB20 million is expected to be recorded by reference to revaluation by the Company's independent property valuer. Furthermore, the Group's finance costs for the Reporting Period increased by approximately RMB20 million as the Group's aggregate borrowings increased significantly as compared to the Preceding Period.
