ANNOUNCEMENT PURSUANT TO RULE 13.18 OF THE LISTING RULES

References are made to the announcements of Great Wall Pan Asia Holdings Limited (the "Company") dated 1 February 2018 and 1 February 2019 (the "Announcements") made pursuant to Rule 13.18 of the Listing Rules about the Loan Facility, being an uncommitted revolving loan facility of HK$50,000,000 (or its equivalent amount in the optional currency(ies)) granted by a bank (as lender) to the Company (as borrower). Unless otherwise indicated in this announcement, capitalised terms used herein have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcements.

The Board of the Company announces that on 20 February 2020, the Company and the bank entered into a subsequent supplemental letter (the "Subsequent Supplemental Letter") to the Facility Letter and Supplemental Letter to, among other things, extend the term of the Loan Facility to 1 February 2021. Save for the extension of the Loan Facility, the specific performance obligations on Great Wall International and GWAMCC, the controlling shareholders of the Company, as disclosed in the Announcements remain unchanged.

As at the date of this announcement, 1,174,018,094 shares of the Company were beneficially owned by Great Wall Pan Asia (BVI). Great Wall Pan Asia (BVI) was wholly-owned by Great Wall International, which was wholly-owned by GWAMCC. Therefore, GWAMCC and Great Wall International were deemed to be interested in all the shares of the Company beneficially owned by Great Wall Pan Asia (BVI) by virtue of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong), representing approximately 74.89% of the total issued share capital of the Company.

Pursuant to Rule 13.21 of the Listing Rules, the Company will include appropriate disclosures about the Loan Facility in its subsequent interim and annual reports for so long as circumstances giving rise to such specific performance obligations of the controlling shareholders continue to exist.
