REASONS FOR, AND BENEFITS OF, THE TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENTS

The Share Transfer Agreements were negotiated as the relevant parties discussed the terms of the CIDL MOU set out below. Through entering into the CIDL MOU, Cosmopolitan Group is seeking to realise the Chengdu Fuhui Debt and to invest in Beijing SEIG by acquisition of the CB, which would entitle Cosmopolitan Group to possibly invest in the equity of Beijing SEIG at a lower price (and hence at a more attractive acquisition cost) as compared to the acquisition cost of HK$2.625 per Beijing SEIG Share in early 2019. Furthermore, the current market price of Beijing SEIG Shares is also substantially lower than the Consideration (Beijing SEIG) per Beijing SEIG Share. If the total of 200,000,000 Beijing SEIG Shares distributed to CMI and RHI pursuant to the previous share swap transactions as announced in January 2019 were continued to be held, it might create general offer and reverse takeover implications in case Cosmopolitan Group eventually decides to exercise the conversion rights of the CB and convert the CB into Beijing SEIG Shares in full. After careful consideration, CMI, RHI and Valuegood considered that it is in their commercial interests to enter into the Share Transfer Agreements so as to allow the relevant parties to take back their shares under the share swap transactions as mentioned in the section "Consideration" above.

Taking into account of the aforesaid reasons, the Century City Directors consider that the terms of the Share Transfer Agreements are fair and reasonable, and are in the interests of the Century City Group and the Century City's shareholders as a whole.

Taking into account of the aforesaid reasons, the Paliburg Directors consider that the terms of the Share Transfer Agreements are fair and reasonable, and are in the interests of the Paliburg Group and the Paliburg's shareholders as a whole.

Taking into account of the aforesaid reasons, the Regal Directors (including its independent non-executive directors) consider that the terms of the Share Transfer Agreements are fair and reasonable, and that the Share Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms or better and in the ordinary and usual course of business of Regal Group and are in the interests of the Regal Group and the Regal's shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS OF THE SHARE TRANSFER AGREEMENTS

To the best of the Century City Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Transfer Counterparties and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of Century City and its connected persons.

To the best of the Paliburg Directors' knowledge, information and belief having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Transfer Counterparties and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of Paliburg and its connected persons.

6

For Regal, all the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Transfer (Beijing SEIG) by RHI are more than 0.1% but less than 5%. On the basis that the Transfer (Beijing SEIG) by RHI would be taken as a connected transaction for Regal under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules for the reason that the Transfer Counterparties may be deemed connected persons of Regal given that the Transfer Counterparties have entered into the Share Transfer Agreements with RHI and Paliburg Group through CMI in respect of the Transfer (Beijing SEIG), the Transfer (Beijing SEIG) by RHI would be exempted from circular and shareholders' approval requirements and only subject to announcement requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. No Regal Directors have a material interest in the Share Transfer Agreements and accordingly no Regal Directors are required to abstain from voting on the board resolutions approving the Share Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

For Century City and Paliburg, as the highest of the relevant applicable percentage ratios set forth under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of each of the Transfer (Beijing SEIG) and the Transfer (Cosmopolitan) is more than 5% but less than 25% for each of Century City and Paliburg, they are classified as a discloseable transaction for each of Century City and Paliburg and are subject to the announcement requirement under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

  1. CIDL MOU
    BACKGROUND

Reference is made to the Deposit and Loans Announcements and the Circular. As disclosed in the Deposit and Loans Announcements and the Circular:-

  1. Cosmopolitan Subsidiary paid the Deposit in a total sum of RMB170,000,000 in respect of the Possible JV Investment in the Target Company pursuant to the Deposit Agreement;
  2. Cosmopolitan Subsidiary (as lender) granted to the Target Company (as borrower) a RMB100,000,000 secured loan facility pursuant to the Loan Agreement; and
  3. Cosmopolitan Subsidiary (as lender) granted to the Target Company (as borrower) a RMB50,000,000 secured loan facility pursuant to the Second Loan Agreement.

The Loan Facility bears interest at a rate of 18% per year. The Loan Facility was fully drawn and was repayable by the Target Company on 20 November 2018 (as extended). The Second Loan Facility bears interest at a rate of 24% per year. The Second Loan Facility was also fully drawn and was repayable by the Target Company on 20 November 2018.

As set out in the 2019 interim results announcements of Century City, Paliburg, Regal and Cosmopolitan, the total amount of the Deposit, the Loan Facility, the Second Loan Facility, and the interests accrued on the Loan Facility and the Second Loan Facility amounted to RMB360.7 million (before tax provision) in the books of Cosmopolitan as at 30 June 2019. They are secured primarily by equity pledges over certain PRC companies associated with the Target Company, guarantees provided by Mr. Huang and certain of his associates, and pledges over the receivables of the Target Company and certain associates of Mr. Huang. Due to the complex operating structure and the financial status of the Target Company and its subsidiaries, the negotiations on the final terms of the proposed investment have not progressed as smoothly as initially envisaged. Cosmopolitan has still been continuing its discussions with Mr. Huang and the Target Company on the investment proposal and, in the meantime, has also been conducting negotiations with a potential investor for its possible investment in these logistics businesses.

As at the date of this joint announcement, the Possible JV Investment in the Target Company has not materialized and the outstanding loans advanced by Cosmopolitan Subsidiary under the Loan Facility and the Second Loan Facility and accrued interests have not been repaid.

BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE CIDL MOU

The Cosmopolitan Directors consider that the CIDL MOU, if materializes, would allow Cosmopolitan to realise the Chengdu Fuhui Debt into more liquid CB and could allow Cosmopolitan to make its shareholding investment in Beijing SEIG.
