In the Agreements, the parties agreed upon the key terms of the Shareholders' Agreements and will enter into them upon the Great Billion Completion and the Wealth Channel Completion. To cater for the funding requirements of Great Billion and Wealth Channel for development of the Properties (including the payment of land premium and the expected commitments of the development, inter alia, the construction and other project development costs, interest and selling expenses), it is expected that financial assistance of not more than HK$1,640 million will be required to be provided by the Group to Great Billion and Wealth Channel in aggregate. Such financial assistance will be provided mainly in the form of shareholder's loan and/or provision of corporate guarantee for external bank borrowings and in proportion to the Group's shareholding interests in Great Billion and Wealth Channel.
