To the Shareholders

Dear Sir or Madam,

VERY SUBSTANTIAL DISPOSAL

AND

MAJOR TRANSACTIONS

IN RELATION TO THE SALE AND LEASEBACK

OF GENTING DREAM

1. INTRODUCTION

Reference is made to the Announcement.

On 25 September 2019, the Seller, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into: (1) the Memorandum of Agreement with the Purchasers in relation to the Disposal; and (2) the Bareboat Charter Agreement with the Purchasers in relation to the bareboat chartering of the Vessel. In addition, under the

8

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Bareboat Charter Agreement, the Seller has the Purchase Option to purchase the Vessel from the Purchasers if certain conditions are satisfied, the Purchasers have the Put Option to sell the Vessel to the Seller if certain conditions are satisfied, and if neither the Purchase Option nor the Put Option is exercised, the Seller has the Purchase Obligation at the end of the Charter Period to purchase the Vessel from the Purchasers if certain conditions are satisfied.

The purpose of this circular is to provide you with, among other things, further details in relation to the Memorandum of Agreement and the Bareboat Charter Agreement and the Transactions, a notice of the SGM, a form of proxy and such other information as required by the Listing Rules.

2. THE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT Date

25 September 2019

Parties

  1. The Seller (as seller)
  2. The Purchasers (as purchasers)

Subject Matter

Pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement, the Seller agreed to sell, and the Purchasers each agreed to purchase an equal share in, the Vessel.

Consideration

The Consideration payable by the Purchasers to the Seller is US$900 million or 80% of the Closing Market Value (whichever is lower) and shall be paid in cash at Completion.

The Closing Market Value shall be the market value of the Vessel, as determined by reference to the arithmetic average of two valuations of the Vessel, each addressed to the Agent and prepared:

  1. as at the date which is no more than 30 days prior to the "prepositioning date", being a date which is no later than five Business Days prior to the proposed Delivery Date (or such later date as the parties to the Memorandum of Agreement may otherwise agree);
  2. and certified by an Approved Valuer, with the first Approved Valuer selected by the Seller (in consultation with the Agent) (the "First Valuation") but appointed by the Agent and the second Approved Valuer selected by the Agent (as per the instructions of the Purchasers) (the "Second Valuation"); and

9

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. on a "desk-top" basis and on the basis of a charter-free sale for prompt delivery for cash at arm's length on normal commercial terms as between a willing seller and a willing buyer,

provided always that:

  1. if the First Valuation is 110% or more of the Second Valuation, the Agent shall then procure a third valuation certified by a third Approved Valuer on a "desk-top" basis and on the basis of a charter-free sale for prompt delivery for cash at arm's length on normal commercial terms as between a willing seller and a willing buyer (the "Third Valuation"), and the market value of the Vessel will then be determined as the arithmetic mean of the First Valuation, the Second Valuation and the Third Valuation; and
  2. if an Approved Valuer determines that the market value of the Vessel shall fall within a range, the valuation for these purposes, as determined by such Approved Valuer, shall be the lower value of such range.

The Board recently obtained an appraised valuation of the Vessel by an Approved Valuer as at 31 December 2018 and 15 July 2019, in each case on a "desk-top" basis of a charter-free sale for prompt delivery for cash at arm's length on normal commercial terms as between a willing seller and a willing buyer, which showed an appraisal value of the Vessel of US$1,180 million. Whilst it is noted that such historical appraisal value has no bearing on the Closing Market Value, based on such historical appraisal value, the Board does not expect 80% of the Closing Market Value will be significantly lower than US$900 million. Further announcement will be made by the Company in relation to the determination of the Consideration, as and when appropriate.

The Purchasers agreed to pay the Consideration severally in proportion to their respective participation.

Conditions Precedent

Completion of the Disposal is conditional upon delivery of the following documents, among other things, to the Agent in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent (acting on behalf of the Purchasers):

  1. written resolutions of the board of directors and (if required by law) shareholders of the Seller resolving to sell the Vessel pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement and to enter into all documentation contemplated by the Memorandum of Agreement and other Transaction Documents;
  2. evidence that on the Delivery Date the Vessel will be registered in the ownership of the Purchasers as co-owners and/or joint owners of all or any of the shares in the Vessel;
  3. approval from the Shareholders in respect of the Memorandum of Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder in accordance with the Listing Rules;

10

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. a transcript of registry issued by the Vessel's registry on the Delivery Date evidencing the Seller's ownership of the Vessel;
  2. the Agent (acting on the instructions of all of the Purchasers) being satisfied that, in its opinion: (a) the conditions precedent set out in the Bareboat Charter Agreement have been or will be satisfied on the Delivery Date or, if earlier, by the timelines set out therein, (b) no termination event or potential termination event (as referred to in the Bareboat Charter Agreement) has occurred and is continuing or would result from the proposed payment of the Consideration; (c) the representations and warranties referred to in the Memorandum of Agreement and the Bareboat Charter Agreement are true and correct in all respects on the date of the Memorandum of Agreement and the Delivery Date; and (d) each Purchaser has remitted or will be remitting its portion of the Consideration no later than five Business Days prior to the Delivery Date, and in any case no later than such time when the Purchasers are required to make any payment under the Memorandum of Agreement; and
  3. the Seller's letter of confirmation that, to the best of its knowledge, the Vessel is not blacklisted by any nation or international organisation.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, condition (i) above has been satisfied.

Completion

Completion shall take place on or around ten Business Days after fulfilment (or waiver by the Purchasers) of the condition precedents set out in the Memorandum of Agreement and in any event before the Cancelling Date.

If the Seller fails to be ready to validly complete a legal transfer of the Vessel by the Cancelling Date, the Agent (acting on the instructions of the Purchasers) and the Purchasers shall have the option of cancelling the Memorandum of Agreement.

If a Purchaser breaches its obligation to pay its proportion of the Consideration, the other (non-defaulting) Purchasers or the Seller shall have the option of cancelling the Memorandum of Agreement.

1.3% of the Consideration (the "Upfront Fee"), out of which:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

7. REASONS FOR, AND BENEFITS OF, ENTERING INTO THE TRANSACTIONS

The Company considers the Transactions to be beneficial to the Group as the Group could obtain additional working capital on reasonable terms to support its business activities and capital expenditure while at the same time maintaining the appropriate rights over the Vessel, which will strengthen the cash flow of the Group.

Currently there are three vessels, namely the "Crystal Endeavor" and two "Global Class" vessels, under construction in our shipyards. The Transactions and the disposal of up to 35% equity interest in Dream Cruises Holding Limited (as detailed in the announcements of the Company dated 6 August 2019 and 1 November 2019) are intended to raise funds to substantially finance the construction costs for the three vessels prior to the drawdown of the Global I and II Loans (as defined in the announcement of the Company dated 6 August 2019). The proceeds will also be used for working capital for future operations of the three vessels and providing liquidity to our shipyards. The Transactions will not affect the disposal of up to 35% equity interest in Dream Cruises Holding Limited.

In accordance with the requirements of Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRS"), the Transactions shall be accounted for as a financing transaction and therefore would not give rise to any gain or loss.

The terms of the Memorandum of Agreement and the Bareboat Charter Agreement, including the Consideration, the Charter Hire, the Upfront Fee, the Purchase Option Price and the Early Termination Sum were arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the parties with reference to the value of the Vessel and the borrowing cost of the Group.

The Directors are therefore of the view that the terms of the Memorandum of Agreement, the Bareboat Charter Agreement and the Transactions, including the Consideration, the Charter Hire, the Upfront Fee, the Purchase Option Price and the Early Termination Sum, are fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

8. FINANCIAL EFFECT ON THE GROUP

Upon completion of the Transactions, it is expected that (i) the total assets of the Group will increase to reflect the cash to be received from the sale proceeds of the Vessel and there will be no financial impact on the property, plant and equipment of the Group, and (ii) the total liabilities of the Group will increase to reflect the liability of the Group to pay Charter Hires under the Bareboat Charter Agreement. The variable hires and other relevant costs will be charged to the income statement of the Group over the Charter Period. In addition, as the Company intends to use the proceeds from the Transactions to repay the existing bank loan relating to the Vessel, when the Company does so, the total assets and the total liabilities of the Group will be reduced accordingly. Therefore, it will not have any material impact on the net assets of the Group.

18

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As the Company is in possession of the Vessel and can continue to use it in its daily operation, it is expected that it will not have any material impact on the earnings of the Group.

In the event that the Group fails to pay any Charter Hire pursuant to the Bareboat Charter Agreement or any other fees under the Transaction Documents when they fall due, interest will accrue on the unpaid amount and, after the expiry of the relevant grace period (where applicable), such failure will result in a termination event under the Bareboat Charter Agreement. The Group has proper internal control procedures in place to ensure all Charter Hires and other fees will be paid punctually.

Save as described above, the Directors believe that there will not be any material impact on the earnings and net assets of the Group as a result of the Transactions.

The Directors consider that the Consideration received from the Transactions will improve the current ratio of the Group. Specifically, the Directors intend to use the funds received for repayment of existing bank loan relating to the Vessel.

9. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Notwithstanding the Disposal, the Purchase Option, the Put Option and the Purchase Obligation are part and parcel to the same Transactions, the Company has assessed each of these components of the Transactions under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules separately. Accordingly:

  1. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal exceed 75%, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders' approval requirements under the Listing Rules.
  2. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Purchase Option exceed 25% but all are less than 100%, the Purchase Option constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders' approval requirements under the Listing Rules. The Purchase Option is exercisable at the discretion of the Company. As a result, pursuant to Rule 14.75(2) of the Listing Rules, the Company may defer the seeking of Shareholders' approval for the exercise of the Purchase Option until such time as the Company determines to exercise the Purchase Option. However, as the Purchase Option is part and parcel to the same Transactions, the Company considers it appropriate to seek Shareholders' approval for the exercise of the Purchase Option at the same time as Shareholders' approval is sought for the other components of the Transactions.
  3. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Put Option exceed 25% but all are less than 100%, the Put Option constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders' approval requirements under the Listing Rules. The exercise of the Put Option is not at the Company's discretion. As a result, pursuant to Rule 14.74 of the Listing Rules, the Company is required to seek Shareholders' approval for the grant of the Put Option at the same time as Shareholders' approval is sought for the other components of the Transactions.

19

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Purchase Obligation exceed 25% but all are less than 100%, the Purchase Obligation constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders' approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

As the Disposal, the Purchase Option, the Put Option and the Purchase Obligation are part and parcel to the same Transactions, and any one such component cannot proceed unless all of these components are approved, the Company will seek Shareholders' approval for each of the Disposal, the Purchase Option, the Put Option and the Purchase Obligation under the same single resolution at the SGM.

To the best of the knowledge and belief of the Directors having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Transactions. Accordingly, it is expected that no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting at the SGM.

10. SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING

The Directors have resolved to convene the SGM to consider and, if thought fit, to approve the Memorandum of Agreement, the Bareboat Charter Agreement and the Transactions by the Shareholders. A notice of the SGM is set out on pages 60 to 62 of this circular. Voting at the SGM on the resolution will be taken by poll.

The form of proxy, together with any power of attorney or other authority under which the form of proxy is signed or a notarially certified copy of that power or authority, shall be deposited at the Corporate Headquarters of the Company at Suite 1501, Ocean Centre, 5 Canton Road, Tsimshatsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong SAR or at the office of the Company's Hong Kong Branch Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong SAR not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for holding the SGM or any adjournment thereof and in default the form of proxy shall not be treated as valid. Completion and return of the form of proxy shall not preclude the Shareholders from attending and voting in person at the SGM (or any adjourned meeting thereof) should they so wish.

20

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

11. RECOMMENDATION

The Directors consider that the terms of the Memorandum of Agreement and the Bareboat Charter Agreement and the Transactions are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, the Board recommends the Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the SGM to approve the Memorandum of Agreement, the Bareboat Charter Agreement and the Transactions.

AS COMPLETION IS SUBJECT TO FULFILMENT (OR IF APPLICABLE, WAIVER) OF THE COMPLETION CONDITIONS AS SET OUT IN THE MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT, THE TRANSACTIONS MAY OR MAY NOT PROCEED. THE ISSUE OF THIS CIRCULAR DOES NOT IN ANY WAY IMPLY THAT THE TRANSACTIONS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED OR COMPLETED. SHAREHOLDERS AND POTENTIAL INVESTORS SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION WHEN DEALING IN THE SHARES.

Your attention is drawn to the additional information set out in the appendices to this circular.

5. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

2019 Outlook

The demand for cruising remains robust in the first ten months of 2019. Trading results to October and forward bookings are good. Barring heightened geopolitical and macroeconomic headwinds within the region impacting on the operating performance for the last two months of the year, we are cautiously optimistic that the Group results will continue to improve on a year on year basis.

Other Business Highlights

World Dream continues its dual homeport of Hong Kong and Guangzhou, cruising to Okinawa, Japan, Vietnam and the Philippines. Genting Dream is maintaining regular calls at ports in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and the Philippines. Explorer Dream, the former SuperStar Virgo, joined Dream Cruises brand in April this year as the third ship in the fleet. She was sailing in North and East China during summer and is sailing in Australia and New Zealand during winter to bring Dream Cruises brand awareness and in preparation for the early 2021 arrival of the 206,500 gross ton Global Dream to these parts of China. Explorer Dream is highly successful with record occupancies of over 120% up to September 2019.

In 2020, Crystal Cruises will celebrate its 30th anniversary and is the industry's most awarded luxury cruise brand. Crystal Endeavor, the world's largest and the world's most luxurious expedition yacht will join the Crystal Cruises fleet during the Tokyo Olympics in August 2020 with excellent advance bookings. Crystal River Cruises will have the most modern and luxurious river cruise fleet with four identical new river ships, after the dedication of the older Crystal Mozart to Asian sourced market in 2020.

However, as the shipyard is wholly owned by the Group, certain revenues and expenses relating to shipbuilding for the Group have to be eliminated during consolidation of accounts, resulting in a lower loss of US$59.6 million in 2018 as compared with 2017 loss of US$102.6 million for the Shipyard segment.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Notes to the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Group

  1. The amounts are extracted from the unaudited consolidated statement of financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2019, as set out in the published interim report of the Group and the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2018, as set out in the published annual report of the Group. The pro forma adjustments are prepared based on the accounting policies adopted by the Group for the year ending 31 December 2019.
  2. The Transactions are regarded as a sale and leaseback transaction. Under the Bareboat Charter Agreement, the Seller has a Purchase Option and a Purchase Obligation during and at the end of the Charter Period, respectively after the Delivery Date to purchase the Vessel. The Purchasers do not obtain control of the Vessel because the Purchasers are limited in their ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from the Vessel. Accordingly, the Transactions shall be accounted for as a financing arrangement in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards 9 "Financial Instruments" ("HKFRS 9") in the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information of the Group. The Upfront Fee, fixed Charter Hire and Purchase Obligation, and variable Charter Hire payable by the Seller under the Bareboat Charter Agreement represent the loan arrangement fees, loan principal repayment, and interest repayment for these Transactions respectively.
  3. For the purpose of the unaudited pro forma consolidated net assets statement, the pro forma adjustments assuming the Transactions had taken place on 30 June 2019, include the following:
    1. (i) early repayment of a secured term loan of approximately US$525,512,000, along with the accrued interest as at 30 June 2019 of approximately US$4,822,000;
      1. partial refund of fee paid to Euler Hermes Deutschland AG, acting in its capacity as representative of the Federal Republic of Germany in connection with the issuance of export credit guarantees under and in respect of the Hermes Insurance Policy ("Hermes fee") of approximately US$13,956,000; and
      2. loss on derecognition of financial liability of approximately US$14,458,000, being the net outstanding loan arrangement fees as at 30 June 2019 after deducting the refund of Hermes fee as a result of the voluntary early repayment by the Seller for the release of the security on the Vessel pledged before the completion of the Transactions;
    2. the Purchase Option and the Put Option in the Bareboat Charter Agreement are treated as embedded derivatives in this financing arrangement. Based on the Group's analysis, given that the options' exercise prices at each exercise date are approximately equal to the host debt instrument's amortised cost, these options are closely related to the debt host contract and do not need to be accounted for separately. Accordingly, the Group has recognised a new loan, being the fair value of proceeds from the drawdown of the Transactions of US$900,000,000 less the estimated loan arrangement fees of approximately US$14,500,000, based on the estimated future cash flows, taking into account all of the instruments' contractual terms, including the options.

43

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

4. For the purpose of the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the pro forma adjustments assuming the Transactions had taken place on 1 January 2018, include the following:

  1. exclusion of amortisation of loan arrangement fees and interests on the secured term loan mentioned in note 3(a) for the year ended 31 December 2018 of approximately US$6,495,000 and US$21,733,000 respectively as a result of the early repayment, as if the Transactions were completed on 1 January 2018;
  2. loss on derecognition of financial liability of approximately US$19,073,000, being the net outstanding loan arrangement fees as at 1 January 2018 after deducting the refund of Hermes fee of approximately US$18,712,000 as a result of the early repayment of the secured term loan mentioned in note 3(a), as if the Transactions were completed on 1 January 2018; and
  3. recognition of amortisation of loan arrangement fees and interest on the new financing from the Transactions for the year ended 31 December 2018 of approximately US$1,793,000 and US$49,071,000 respectively, as if the Transactions were completed on 1 January 2018. The interest on the new financing from the Transactions is derived based on a fixed rate margin of 3.1% per annum plus 3 months London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"). LIBOR of 2.41% which represents the average 3-month LIBOR rate in 2018 is used in the computation of interest expense on the new financing from the Transactions.

The effects of interest capitalisation have not been considered in notes 4(a) and 4(c) as the Group's capitalisation rate for general borrowings would not be materially different before and after the completion of the Transactions.

  1. According to the Memorandum of Agreement, the consideration for the Vessel payable by the Purchasers to the Seller is lower of the US$900,000,000 or 80% of the Closing Market Value. For the purpose of preparing the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, it is assumed that the consideration payable for the Transactions is US$900,000,000. Any changes in the consideration payable will affect the proceeds from the drawdown of the Transactions as mentioned in note 3(b), and the interest on the new financing from the Transactions as mentioned in note 4(c).
  2. No adjustment has been made to reflect any trading results or other transactions of the Group entered into subsequent to 30 June 2019 and 1 January 2019 on the unaudited pro forma consolidated net assets statement and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income of the Group respectively.
  3. Except for the amortisation of loan arrangement fees and interest on the new financing from the Transactions, the above adjustments are not expected to have a continuing effect on the unaudited pro forma consolidated net assets statement and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income of the Group.

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The following is the text of a report received from PricewaterhouseCoopers, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong, for the purpose of incorporation in this circular.

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT'S ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Directors of Genting Hong Kong Limited

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of unaudited pro forma financial information of Genting Hong Kong Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group") by the directors for illustrative purposes only. The unaudited pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma consolidated net assets statement as at 30 June 2019 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2018 and related notes (the "Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information") as set out on pages 37 to 44 of the Company's circular dated 28 November 2019, in connection with the proposed sale and leaseback of Genting Dream (the "Transactions") by the Company. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information are described on pages 37 to 44.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled by the directors to illustrate the impact of the Transactions on the Group's financial position as at 30 June 2019 and the Group's financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2018 as if the Transactions had taken place at 30 June 2019 and 1 January 2018 respectively. As part of this process, information about the Group's financial position has been extracted by the directors from the Group's financial statements for the period ended 30 June 2019, on which no audit or review report has been published. The information about the Group's financial performance has been extracted by the directors from the Group's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, on which an audit report has been published.

Directors' Responsibility for the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The directors are responsible for compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") and with reference to Accounting Guideline 7 Preparation of Pro Forma Financial Information for Inclusion in Investment Circulars ("AG 7") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA").

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the HKICPA, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.

Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountant's Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by paragraph 4.29(7) of the Listing Rules, on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information and to report our opinion to you. We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that the reporting accountant plans and performs procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information in accordance with paragraph 4.29 of the Listing Rules and with reference to AG 7 issued by the HKICPA.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information.

The purpose of unaudited pro forma financial information included in a circular is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Transactions at 1 January 2018 and 30 June 2019 would have been as presented.

46

APPENDIX III UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the unaudited pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
  • The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant's judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant's understanding of the nature of the company, the event or transaction in respect of which the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  1. the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information has been properly compiled by the directors of the Company on the basis stated;
  2. such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group; and
  3. the adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information as disclosed pursuant to paragraph 4.29(1) of the Listing Rules.
