THE DISPOSAL
The Board of the Company announces that, on August 7, 2020, Garden Group (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company) entered into an equity transfer agreement with Xiaxi Business Management and the Target Company, pursuant to which Garden Group has agreed to sell and Xiaxi Business Management has agreed to purchase 90% equity interest in the Target Company. Upon the completion of the transaction, the Company will no longer hold any equity interest in the Target Company.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL
As a property developer, the Group has business operations in many main cities in the PRC and is principally engaged in property development. The Directors believe that the disposal of the Target Company, being a non-core business, which has relatively lower profit margin, will be beneficial for the Company to better utilize its strengths and resources to focus on further developing its principal businesses. Meanwhile, the Company understands that the Target Company will seek for a market-driven operating model, so as to further develop and grow its own business.
The Directors of the Company (including independent non-executive directors) are of the view that the Disposal is on normal commercial terms or better, and the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
