SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT TO THE MASTER PROPERTY

MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

AND

REVISION OF ANNUAL CAPS

Supplemental Agreement and Revision of Annual Caps

Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 17 April 2020 and 23 April 2020 in relation to, inter alia, the Master Property Management Framework Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Annual Caps.

After considering the expected expansion in the scale and scope of the Property Management and Value-added Services to be provided by Xingye Wulian Group to include the Property Management and Value-added Services for sales offices and show flats of the Group, on 28 August 2020, the Company and Xingye Wulian entered into the Supplemental Agreement to amend certain terms of the Master Property Management Framework Agreement. Further, the Board also proposed to revise the Annual Caps for the transactions contemplated under the Master Property Management Framework Agreement for each of the three financial years ending 31 December 2022.

Listing Rules Implications

As at the date of this announcement, the entire issued share capital of Xingye Wulian is indirectly owned as to approximately 56.59% by the Blossom Trust, which is controlled by Ms. Zhang as the protector. Ms. Zhang is the daughter of Mr. Zhang Jingguo, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and executive Director and Ms. Huang Yanping, the non-executive Director, as such, Xingye Wulian is a connected person of the Company under Rule 14A.07(4) of the Listing Rules.

Given that one or more of the applicable percentage ratios based on the Revised Annual Caps in relation to the Property Management and Value-added Services to be provided by Xingye Wulian Group under the Master Property Management Framework Agreement (as amended

1

by the Supplemental Agreement) exceed 0.1% and is less than 5%, therefore, the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Revised Annual Caps constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company and are subject to re-compliance with the announcement requirement but are exempt from the independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

HISTORICAL TRANSACTION AMOUNTS

The actual transaction amounts incurred by the Group to the subsidiaries of Xingye Wulian for the provision of Property Management and Value-added Services for the three financial years ended 31 December 2019 was nil, approximately RMB5.3 million and RMB8.6 million, respectively.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT AND REVISION OF THE ANNUAL CAPS

The Group has selected Xingye Wulian Group in the provision of property management services which include, among others, security, cleaning, greening and gardening, parking space management, repair and maintenance and customer services to sales offices and show flats developed by the Group. As Xingye Wulian Group has been providing Property Management and Value-added Services for unsold properties of those non-residential properties developed by the Group, the Group considers that the property management services provided to sales offices and show flats are of similar nature, and the provision of property management services to sales offices and show flats is merely an expansion of the existing scale and scope of Property Management and Value-added Services provided by Xingye Wulian Group. Further, the Directors consider that the pricing policy as set out in the Master Property Management Framework Agreement (as amended by the Supplemental Agreement) in selecting and pricing the contracts for the provision of Property Management and Value-added Services by Xingye Wulian Group could ensure the pricing will be competitive and on normal commercial terms, while at the same time maintaining the quality of the services to be provided.

The unaudited actual transaction amount for the Property Management and Value-added Services provided by Xingye Wulian Group to the Group for the six months ended 30 June

2020 are set out as follows:

For the six months ended 30 June 2020

3.3

As at the date of this announcement, Xingye Wulian Group has been selected to provide property management services for 16 sales offices and show flats for projects of the Group. In anticipation of the additional Property Management and Value-Added Services to be provided by Xingye Wulian Group to sales offices and show flats for projects of the Group, the Board expected that the Annual Caps under the Master Property Management Framework Agreement would be exceeded, therefore the Board proposed to revise the Annual Caps.

5

The Revised Annual Caps were determined with reference to the following factors:

  1. the unaudited actual transaction amounts incurred under the Master Property Management Framework Agreement for the six months ended 30 June 2020;
  2. the number and scale of sales offices and show flats for which the Group has invited Xingye Wulian Group to provide a fee quotation or has selected Xingye Wulian Group to provide property management services;
  3. the delivery date and sales timetable of the properties for which the Group has invited Xingye Wulian Group to provide a fee quotation or has selected Xingye Wulian Group to provide property management services;
  4. the historical success rate of Xingye Wulian Group in securing property management projects in sales offices and show flats of the Group through quotations; and
  5. the expected delivery date, expected GFA to be delivered and expected proportion of unsold properties of other pipeline properties and carparks remaining unchanged.

As Ms. Huang Yanping is the settlor of the Blossom Trust and Mr. Zhang Jingguo is the spouse of Ms. Huang Yanping, both Mr. Zhang Jingguo and Ms. Huang Yanping are considered to have a material interest in the Supplemental Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Revised Annual Caps, and had abstained from voting on the Board resolutions of the Company to approve the Supplemental Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Revised Annual Caps. Save for the aforementioned, no other Director has a material interest in the Supplemental Agreement and therefore is required to abstain from voting on the resolutions of the Board to approve the Supplemental Agreement, the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Revised Annual Caps.

In view of the above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the opinion that the terms of the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the Revised Annual Caps are (a) on normal commercial terms;

  1. in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group; (c) fair and reasonable, and the entering into of the Supplemental Agreement is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The Group is principally engaged in the businesses of property development, property investment, project management and sales services and securities trading and investment.

Xingye Wulian is a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability and is principally engaged in the provision of property management and value-added services and property engineering services.
