LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, the Vendor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NWCL. NWD is the controlling shareholder of NWCL, holding approximately 69.60% attributable interest in the issued shares of NWCL. CTF, being the Purchaser and the Lessee, is the controlling shareholder of NWD, holding approximately 43.41% interest in the issued shares of NWD. As such, CTF is a connected person of each of NWD and NWCL under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction of each of NWD and NWCL. Also, the transactions contemplated under the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of each of NWD and NWCL under the Listing Rules.
As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement exceeds 0.1% but is less than 5%, the Sale and Purchase Agreement is only subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but exempt from the approval by the independent shareholders of NWD and NWCL under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
As the highest applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the annual caps for the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement will, on an annual basis, be more than 0.1% but less than 5%, such continuing connected transactions are subject to the reporting, announcement and annual review requirements, but are exempt from the approval by the independent shareholders of NWD and NWCL under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
As the term of the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement exceeds three years, pursuant to Rule 14A.52 of the Listing Rules, NWD and NWCL have engaged BOSC as the independent financial adviser to advise the reasons for the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement having a term that exceeds three years and to confirm whether this is normal business practice for the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement to have such duration.

As Completion is subject to the fulfilment of a number of conditions precedent, the Disposal may or may not be completed. Shareholders and potential investors should exercise caution when dealing in the shares of NWD and NWCL. THE SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT Date

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE DISPOSAL

The NWD Group is principally engaged in property, infrastructure, hotel operation, department store operation, services, as well as telecommunications and technology businesses.
The NWCL Group is principally engaged in property development, property investment as well as rental and hotel operation in the PRC.
Provision of hotel management services is not the main business of the NWCL Group. The Disposal will enable NWCL Group to realise its investment in non-core business and focus its resources on the operation of its existing core businesses of property development and investment in the PRC. Upon completion of the Disposal, the NWCL Group is expected to record a gain of approximately HK$844,000,000, being the difference between the consideration for the Disposal and the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Target as at 31 March 2015. The exact gain on the Disposal can only be ascertained when the net asset value and incidental transaction costs are determined upon Completion. The NWCL Directors intend to use the net proceeds from the Disposal for the expansion of its core businesses and as general working capital of the NWCL Group.
The NWD Directors and NWCL Directors (including the independent non-executive directors) believe that the terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement have been negotiated on an arm's length basis and on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the NWD Group, NWCL Group and their respective shareholders as a whole.

INFORMATION ON THE PARTIES The Purchaser

To the best knowledge of the NWCL Directors, the Purchaser is principally engaged in investment holding.

The Vendor

The Vendor is a company incorporated in Hong Kong and is principally engaged in investment holding.

The Target

The Target is a company incorporated in British Virgin Islands and is principally engaged in investment holding. The Target is the holding company of certain companies which are principally engaged in provision of worldwide hotel management services under three hotel brands, namely Rosewood, New World and penta.

THE MASTER HOTEL LEASING AGREEMENT Date

3 July 2015

Parties

(i) NWCL; and
(ii) the Lessee.

General terms for the Transactions

Relevant members of the NWCL Group may from time to time enter into Definitive Agreement(s) with relevant members of the CTF Group in relation to any Transactions upon, and subject to, the terms and conditions in compliance with those of the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement as may be agreed between relevant members of the NWCL Group and the relevant members of the CTF Group.
With effect from the Effective Date, the Transactions shall be conducted:
(i) in the usual and ordinary course of business of NWCL and the Lessee; (ii) on normal commercial terms; and
(iii) in compliance with all applicable provisions of the Listing Rules (including the Annual Caps), the
applicable laws, the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement and the relevant Definitive Agreement.

Term

The Master Hotel Leasing Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date, and shall continue up to and including 30 June 2025, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement. Subject to compliance with the then relevant requirements of the rules of any stock exchange to which any of the parties to the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement is subject to, including, but not limited to, the Listing Rules or, alternatively, any waivers obtained from strict compliance with such requirements, upon expiration of the initial term, the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement will be automatically renewed for a further term of ten years, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement.

The Annual Caps

NWCL expects that the Annual Caps in respect of the Transactions to be entered into between members of the NWCL Group and members of the CTF Group for each of the three financial years ending 30 June 2018 will be HK$114,300,000, HK$115,800,000 and HK$117,500,000, respectively. NWD and NWCL will re- comply with the Listing Rules in relation to the determination of the annual caps for the remaining term of
the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement.

6

Basis of the Annual Caps

The above Annual Caps have been determined based on the (1) the projected monthly rentals of the NWCL Group's hotels to be leased out ("leased hotels") by reference to the market rentals of the hotels in the locality, and (2) the projected annual licence fees receivable which is determined at 1% of the projected gross revenue of the leased hotels, if any.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE MASTER HOTEL LEASING AGREEMENT

The Transactions are expected to be of a recurrent nature and will occur on a regular and continuing basis in the ordinary and usual course of business of the NWCL Group and the relevant members of the CTF Group.
The NWD Directors and the NWCL Directors believe that it is in the interests of the NWD Group and the NWCL Group to enter into the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement so that the NWCL Group may regulate the hotel leasing agreements with the relevant members of the CTF Group under a common framework agreement. It is also expected that the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement will enable NWCL Group to streamline its hotel operation and strengthen further its foundation of rental operation which can generate a stable stream of rental income for the NWCL Group.
The NWD Directors and the NWCL Directors (including the independent non-executive directors) consider that the terms of the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement have been negotiated on an arm's length basis and on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the NWD Group, the NWCL Group and their respective shareholders as a whole and that the Annual Caps are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the NWD Group, the NWCL Group and their respective shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, the Vendor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of NWCL. NWD is the controlling shareholder of NWCL, holding approximately 69.60% attributable interest in the issued shares of NWCL. CTF, being the Purchaser and the Lessee, is the controlling shareholder of NWD, holding approximately 43.41% interest in the issued shares of NWD. As such, CTF is a connected person of each of NWD and NWCL under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction of each of NWD and NWCL under the Listing Rules. Also, the transactions contemplated under the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of each of NWD and NWCL under the Listing Rules.
As the highest applicable percentage ratio (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal contemplated under the Sale and Purchase Agreement exceeds 0.1% but is less than 5%, the Sale and Purchase Agreement is only subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but exempt from
the approval by the independent shareholders of NWD and NWCL under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

7

As the highest applicable percentage ratios (as defined under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) in respect of the annual caps for the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement will, on an annual basis, be more than 0.1% but less than 5%, such continuing connected transactions are subject to the reporting, announcement and annual review requirements, but are exempt from the approval by the independent shareholders of NWD and NWCL under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OF NWD DIRECTORS

Dr. Cheng Kar-Shun, Henry, Dr. Cheng Chi-Kong, Adrian, Mr. Cheng Kar-Shing, Peter and Mr. Cheng Chi- Heng are common directors of NWD and CTF. Accordingly, the above mentioned NWD Directors together with Mr. Doo Wai-Hoi, William and Ms. Cheng Chi-Man, Sonia (associates of the relevant NWD Directors) had abstained from voting on the resolutions approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement and the Annual Caps at the board meeting of NWD. Save as disclosed above, none of the other NWD Directors has a material interest in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement and the Annual Caps.

APPROVAL BY THE BOARD OF NWCL DIRECTORS

Dr. Cheng Kar-Shun, Henry, Mr. Cheng Kar-Shing, Peter and Dr. Cheng Chi-Kong, Adrian are common directors of NWCL and CTF. Ms. Cheng Chi-Man, Sonia and Mr. Cheng Chi-Him, Conrad are regarded as their associates. Accordingly, they had abstained from voting on the resolutions approving the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement and the Annual Caps at the board meeting of NWCL. Save as disclosed above, none of the other NWCL Directors has a material interest in the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement and the Annual Caps.

OPINION FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Rule 14A.52 of the Listing Rules requires that the term of an agreement governing continuing connected transactions of an issuer must not exceed three years except in special circumstances. As the term of the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement exceeds three years, NWD and NWCL have engaged BOSC as the independent financial adviser to advise the reasons for the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement having a term that exceeds three years and to confirm whether this is normal business practice for the Master Hotel Leasin g Agreement to have such duration.
BOSC noted that hotel lease agreements are commonly of a long tenor which exceed 3 years given that (i) hotel tenants usually incur high initial costs including, among others, refurnishing the hotel to meet their own operating model, additional human resources and training cost and set-up cost for information technology systems and reservation platform; (ii) a long tenor can avoid business uncertainties for hotel operation and allow time to build up customer loyalty and reputation; and (iii) frequent changes of hotel tenants may lead to expensive redecorations and temporary closure of the hotel which is considered to be disadvantageous to the lessor from commercial perspectives. BOSC also noted certain comparable transactions (the "Comparable Transactions") involving the entering into of hotel lease agreements by companies whose shares are listed
on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange as set out below:

8

i. as disclosed in the announcement of a listed real estate investment trust issued in June 2014, the investment trust, as lessor, entered into a hotel lease agreement with a term of up to 20 years, which included an initial term of 10 years and an option to renew for a further term of 10 years at the sole discretion of the manager of that investment trust;
ii. as disclosed in the prospectus of a listed hotel investment company issued in May 2013, that company, as lessor, entered into master hotel lease agreements for a term of 14 years from the date of listing of that company; and
iii. as disclosed in the prospectus of a listed hotel group company issued in November 2006, the hotel lease agreements entered into by that company generally have terms ranging from 10 to 20 years.
BOSC noted that the term of the hotel lease agreements in the Comparable Transactions ranged from 10 to
20 years and the term of the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement, being 20 years (including an initia l term of 10 years and renewable for a further term of 10 years), is within such range. Taking into account of the above, BOSC confirms that it is normal business practice for the Master Hotel Leasing Agreement to have a term of up to 20 years.
