LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, DWCP is an indirect holding company and controlling shareholder of the Company, and hence is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Since Wanda Business Management is indirectly wholly-owned by DWCP, Wanda Business Management is also a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Carpark Tenancy Agreement entered into by the Guilin Project Company with Wanda Business Management and the transactions contemplated thereby constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules, the transactions contemplated under the Carpark Tenancy Agreement and the Existing Tenancy Agreements shall be aggregated. As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined under the Listing Rules) (other than the profits ratio) in respect of the aggregated annual caps of the Carpark Tenancy Agreement and the Existing Tenancy Agreements exceeds 0.1% but is below 5%, the transactions under the Carpark Tenancy Agreement are subject to the reporting, announcement and annual review requirements but are exempt from the independent Shareholders' approval requirement pursuant to Rule 14A.76 of the Listing Rules.
