DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION

IN RELATION TO THE ACQUISITION OF 100% EQUITY INTEREST IN CITY-MEDIA

EQUITY TRANSFER AGREEMENT

On 30 July 2020, CG Life Services (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement with the Original Shareholders, the Vendors and City-Media, pursuant to which CG Life Services has agreed to conditionally acquire a total of 100% equity interest in City-Media in phases in accordance with the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement.

Following the completion of the acquisition of the First Phase Target Shares by CG Life Services, City-Media will become a subsidiary of the Group, and its results, assets and liabilities will be consolidated into the accounts of the Group.

Following the completion of the acquisition of the First Phase Target Shares and the Second Phase Target Shares by CG Life Services, the Company will indirectly hold 100% equity interest of City-Media, and City-Media will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios of the Acquisition exceed 5% but all are below 25%, the Acquisition therefore constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14.73 of the Listing Rules, the grant of an option by a listed issuer is regarded as a transaction. Since the Vendors Repurchase Option involved in the Acquisition is regarded as an option granted to the Vendors and the exercise of which is not at the Company's discretion, pursuant to Rule 14.74(1) of the Listing Rules, the grant of the Vendors Repurchase Option will be classified as if the Vendors Repurchase Option had been exercised. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios of the Vendors Repurchase Option exceed 5% but all are below 25%, the grant of the Vendors Repurchase Option therefore constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Performance compensation

Following the conclusion of the Valuation Adjustment Period, if the accumulated Principal Business Income of City-Media during the Valuation Adjustment Period is less than RMB1,317.77 million, or the accumulated Net Profit After NRI is less than RMB299.54 million, then the First Vendor shall compensate CG Life Services, and the calculation of the corresponding compensation amount ("Performance Compensation Amount") is as follow:

(A)

(RMB1,317.77 million - I)

× RMB511.94 million; or

RMB1,317.77 million

(B)

(RMB299.54 million - P)

× RMB511.94 million,

RMB299.54 million

I = The accumulated actual Principal Business Income during the Valuation Adjustment Period

P = The accumulated actual Net Profit After NRI during the Valuation Adjustment Period

whichever is higher, but not more than RMB511.94 million.

If the amount of the fourth and/or the fifth and/or the sixth instalments of the consideration for the First Phase Target Shares which CG Life Services has not yet paid (the "Unpaid Consideration") is:

  2. less than the Performance Compensation Amount, then the First Vendor shall pay cash to CG Life Services to make up for the difference between the Performance Compensation Amount and the Unpaid Consideration.

Certain principles for the calculation of whether City-Media has fulfilled the Performance Guarantee

  1. During the Valuation Adjustment Period, for any changes in performance resulting from resources introduced by CG Life Services or by the related parties led by it that can create performance without the operational management of City-Media's management team, such performance changes will be excluded for the purpose of determining whether City-Media has fulfilled the Performance Guarantee, unless otherwise agreed by both parties;
  2. If the Target Group suffers business damage or is unable to obtain expected gains due to CG Life Services or person(s) assigned by it to the Target Group, then the Target Group's corresponding losses in Principal Business Income and the Net Profit After NRI caused by the above-mentioned situation will be excluded for the purpose of determining whether City- Media has fulfilled the Performance Guarantee;

9

  1. If there are other serious situations where CG Life Services interferes with the Target Group's operation and management rights, then the Target Group's corresponding losses in the Principal Business Income and the Net Profit After NRI caused thereof will be excluded for the purpose of determining whether City-Media has fulfilled the Performance Guarantee, unless it is due to the discovery by CG Life Services that there are violations of the standard of conduct for directors, supervisors and senior management in the Target Group, and thereby interferes with the Target Group's operation and management within the affected scope of such matter.

Deemed Fulfilment of Performance Guarantee

Except where the general manager appointed by the Second Vendor voluntarily resigns or offers to cease to serve as the general manager, in the event that CG Life Services deprives the general manager appointed by the Second Vendor of daily operation and management rights or remove such general manager which results in the Second Vendor unable to assign a general manager, then the Performance Guarantee shall be deemed to be fulfilled in full ("Deemed Fulfilment of Performance Guarantee"), unless it is due to the discovery by CG Life Services that the person appointed by the Second Vendor violates the standard of conduct for directors, supervisors and senior management.

In a certain year, in the event of Deemed Fulfilment of Performance Guarantee of such year and/or subsequent years, CG Life Services shall, within 10 Working Days after the occurrence of such a situation, pay the consideration of the First Phase Target Shares for the corresponding instalments for such year and/or subsequent years.

Corporate governance after the conclusion of the Valuation Adjustment Period

Following the conclusion of the Valuation Adjustment Period, if CG Life Services does not acquire the Second Phase Target Shares, and the Vendors do not repurchase the First Phase Target Shares, then the subsequent daily operation and management rights of City-Media will be led by CG Life Services.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreement, the purchase price for the First Phrase Target Shares shall not exceed RMB511.94 million, and the purchase price for the Second Phrase Target Shares shall not exceed RMB1 billion. Based on these capped amounts, as one or more of the applicable percentage ratios of the Acquisition exceed 5% but all are below 25%, the Acquisition therefore constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to Rule 14.73 of the Listing Rules, the grant of an option by a listed issuer is regarded as a transaction. Since the Vendors Repurchase Option involved in the Acquisition is regarded as an option granted to the Vendors and the exercise of which is not at the Company's discretion, pursuant to Rule 14.74(1) of the Listing Rules, the grant of the Vendors Repurchase Option will be classified as if the Vendors Repurchase Option had been exercised. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios of the Vendors Repurchase Option exceed 5% but all are below 25%, the grant of the Vendors Repurchase Option therefore constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
