Reference is made to (i) the announcement of the Company dated 20 July 2015 in relation to the 2015 Equity Transfer Agreement entered into between Wuzhou Shenguan Investment and the Vendor in relation to the acquisition of 51% equity interest in Guangdong Victory and the acceptance of the Put Option and (ii) the clarification announcement of the Company dated 22 July 2016 on the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2015.

The Board is pleased to announce that on 23 March 2017 (after trading hours), Wuzhou Shenguan Investment and the Vendor entered into the 2017 Equity Transfer Agreement, pursuant to which, among others, (i) Wuzhou Shenguan Investment has agreed to acquire and the Vendor has agreed to sell 29% equity interests of Guangdong Victory at a total consideration of RMB23,850,000; and (ii) both Wuzhou Shenguan Investment and the Vendor have agreed to terminate the Put Option under the 2015 Equity Transfer Agreement.

Upon completion of the Acquisition, Guangdong Victory will be held as to 80% by Wuzhou Shenguan Investment and remain as an indirect non-wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

The exercise of the Put Option is at the discretion of Wuzhou Shenguan Investment. According to Rule 14.73 of the Listing Rules, termination of the Put Option will be treated as a transaction and classified by reference to the percentage ratios pursuant to Rules 14.04(1)(b) and 14.73 of the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios under the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition and the termination of the Put Option are more than 5% but less than 25%, such transaction constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As at the date of this announcement, the Vendor holds as to 49% of the equity interest of Guangdong Victory. Hence, the Vendor is a substantial shareholder of Guangdong Victory and thus a connected person of the Company. The Acquisition and the termination of the Put Option therefore constitute connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As (i) the Acquisition and the termination of the Put Option are connected transactions with a connected person at subsidiary level of the Group; (ii) the Board has approved the Acquisition and the termination of the Put Option; and (iii) all the independent non- executive Directors have confirmed that the terms thereof are fair and reasonable, on normal commercial terms and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole, the Acquisition and the termination of the Put Option are only subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, and are exempted from the circular, independent financial advice and independent shareholders' approval requirements by virtue of Rule 14A.101 of the Listing Rules.

Reference is made to (i) the announcement of the Company dated 20 July 2015 in relation to the 2015 Equity Transfer Agreement entered into between Wuzhou Shenguan Investment and the Vendor in relation to the acquisition of 51% equity interest in Guangdong Victory and the acceptance of the Put Option and (ii) the clarification announcement of the Company dated 22 July 2016 on the annual report for the year ended 31 December 2015.
