Dear Sir or Madam,

(1) VERY SUBSTANTIAL DISPOSAL

DISPOSAL OF THE UPDATED SALE SHARES BY THE GROUP;

    1. PROPOSED RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; AND
  1. NOTICE OF THE 2019 SECOND EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

INTRODUCTION

References are made to (i) the Announcements and the First Circular regarding the Disposal;

  1. the announcement of the Company dated 6 June 2019 regarding the appointment of Mr. ZHANG Dong as a non-executive Director; and (iii) the announcement of the Company dated 16 August 2019 regarding the appointment of Mr. SUN Qiang Chang as a non-executive Director.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The purpose of this circular is to provide the Shareholders with, among other matters, (i) further details of the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder or incidental thereto (for the avoidance of doubt, it shall exclude the issuance of the Additional Shares under the ESOP under the paragraph headed "Additional Shares to be Issued by Cayman Company under the ESOP" below), (ii) the proposed re-election of the Directors and (iii) a notice of the EGM to the Shareholders to approve the resolutions proposed at the EGM.

BACKGROUND OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

As disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 28 June 2019, PNM sent a completion confirmation letter to the Purchaser on 31 May 2019 to confirm the satisfaction of all of the Conditions under the Share Purchase Agreement. The Purchaser, however, disputed the satisfaction of certain Conditions. Regardless of the above event, after further arm's length commercial negotiations, the parties conditionally agreed on the terms of the Supplemental Agreement with a view to proceeding with the Disposal and the transactions thereunder.

On 23 July 2019 (after trading hours), PNM, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Supplemental Agreement with the Purchaser in respect of the Share Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, the parties conditionally agreed that, among others, they shall carry out the Updated Completion in accordance with the paragraph headed "Updated Completion" below, regardless of whether any dispute is raised by any party in respect of satisfaction of the Conditions under the Share Purchase Agreement.

The Supplemental Agreement has become effective upon the full payment of the First Installment of the First Consideration (as defined below) under paragraph (1)(i) of the paragraph headed "Consideration" below made by the Purchaser or its designee(s) to PNM before 23 July 2019. As of the Latest Practicable Date, the First Consideration was received in full by PNM. Upon its effectiveness, the Supplemental Agreement has formed an integral part of the Share Purchase Agreement and the principal terms of the Supplemental Agreement set out under the paragraph headed "The Supplemental Agreement" below shall supersede those under the Share Purchase Agreement.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the entering into of the Supplemental Agreement as calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules exceeds 75%, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company under Rule 14.06(4) of the Listing Rules, and is subject to the announcement and Shareholders' approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Matters (as defined below) are subject to approval by the Shareholders at the EGM. In the event that the Shareholders approve the Matters, a deposit in respect of the residual of the Consideration in the amount of US$50 million (approximately HK$390 million) (the "Residual Consideration Deposit") shall be payable in cash by the Purchaser or its designee(s) to PNM by depositing the same amount into the account designated by PNM within two business days following the date of the Company's announcement in respect of the poll results of such general meeting (the "Poll Results Date"). The Purchaser or its designee(s) shall provide a bank transfer voucher to PNM prior to such period. The Residual Consideration Deposit and any interest accrued from the Residual Consideration Deposit (the "Residual Consideration Deposit Interest") shall form a part of the Consideration on the Second Completion Date.

In the event that the Shareholders do not approve the Matters at the EGM (due to causes beyond the control of PNM or its related party), PNM shall fully refund the First Consideration and any accrued interest therefrom to the Purchaser or its designee(s) within two business days following the Poll Results Date. For the avoidance of doubt, in such event, the Deposit shall not be refunded. PNM shall provide a bank transfer voucher to the Purchaser or its designee(s) prior to such period. PNM and the Purchaser shall continue to negotiate in such event. If the negotiation is not successful, the parties shall carry out their respective obligations in accordance with the terms under the Share Purchase Agreement.

  1. Residual Consideration

The residual amount of the Consideration (being the residual amount of the Consideration of US$448 million less the First Consideration, less the Deposit and the Deposit Interest and less the Residual Consideration Deposit and the Residual Consideration Deposit Interest, the "Residual Consideration") shall be payable in cash by way of wire transfer by the Purchaser or its designee(s) to PNM by depositing the same amount into the account designated by PNM on or before 10 August 2020 or within a period otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.

The Consideration was determined based on normal commercial terms and after arm's length negotiations between PNM and the Purchaser with reference to a preliminary valuation of the Disposal Group at approximately US$1,318 million, taking into account various factors including:

  1. the estimated valuation of the Disposal Group at approximately US$955 million as inferred from the consideration agreed for Cayman Company's latest round of capital fundraising in 2017 where independent third parties subscribed for interests in Cayman Company;
  2. the approximately 47.8% increase in the Disposal Group's unaudited net advertising sales in 2018 as compared to that in 2017, as applied to the estimated valuation of the Disposal Group in (a) above;
  3. the price to sales ratio of listed market comparables, including A-share listed People.cn (人民網) and Xinhuanet (新華網) and NASDAQ listed Qutoutiao Inc. (趣頭條), which are all PRC internet companies principally engaged in the provision of contents and whose principal businesses are similar to that of the Disposal Group;

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the valuation of the Disposal Group as estimated by research analysts of major investment banks at US$1,500 million in November 2018 and US$1,300 million in August 2018, respectively; and
  2. after further arm's length commercial negotiations the parties agreed on the terms of the Supplemental Agreement with a view to proceeding with the Disposal and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Updated Condition

Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, the performance of the Updated Completion is subject to and conditional upon the satisfaction of the following Updated Condition: the approval by the Shareholders at the EGM of the Supplemental Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder (for the avoidance of doubt, it shall exclude the issuance of the Additional Shares under the ESOP under the paragraph headed "Additional Shares to be Issued by Cayman Company under the ESOP" below (collectively, the "Matters")).

In the event that the Matters are not approved by the Shareholders at the EGM, the Supplemental Agreement shall lapse and the parties shall follow the terms under the Share Purchase Agreement.

Termination

The Supplemental Agreement may be terminated if PNM and the Purchaser mutually agree in writing to terminate the Supplemental Agreement.

In addition, in the event that the relevant shareholders of Cayman Company claim the relevant rights of shareholders in respect of the Offshore Sale Shares Adjustment, which constitutes a material effect on the performance of the Supplemental Agreement, including but not limited to affecting the Updated Offshore Sale Shares, Residual Offshore Shares and the Consideration in respect of the Offshore Sale Shares under the Share Purchase Agreement, the parties shall use respective commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate in accordance with the agreed principles under the Supplemental Agreement. In the event that the parties fail to agree on a solution before 10 October 2019 or before a period otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing, PNM is entitled to immediately terminate the Supplemental Agreement and shall not bear any default obligation under the Supplemental Agreement due to the aforesaid event. Upon such termination, the Purchaser shall immediately take all measures to collaborate with Cayman Company to cancel the transfer of the relevant Offshore Sale Shares already under the name of the Purchaser (if applicable). At the same time, upon such termination and subject to the completion of the aforesaid re-registration of the relevant Offshore Sale Shares under PNM's name, the Purchaser is entitled to request PNM to refund the money (other than the Deposit and the Deposit Interest) already made by the Purchaser or its designee(s).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

On 5 August 2019, Long De Cheng Zhang Culture Communication (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (龍德 成長文化傳播(天津)有限公司) and Long De Holdings (Hong Kong) Co., Limited (collectively, the "Long De Entities") sent a joint notice to PNM purporting to exercise their co-sale right under the Eighth Amended and Restated Shareholders Agreement of the Cayman Company dated 8 August 2018 (the "Shareholders Agreement"). The Long De Entities are independent third parties of the Company and PNM, while the Long De Entities and PNM are both shareholders of the Cayman Company.

Pursuant to the terms of the Shareholders Agreement and the articles of association of the Cayman Company, when PNM as an existing shareholder of the Cayman Company seeks to transfer its interest in the Cayman Company to a third party, the Long De Entities as existing shareholders of the Cayman Company have a right to demand a co-sale of their interest in the Cayman Company to such extent based on a pre-determined formula such that the number of Cayman Company shares to be sold by PNM shall be reduced correspondingly. Any such co-sale notice shall set out the amount of co-sale securities and be delivered to PNM and the Cayman Company within the specified period, as accompanied by transfer documents duly executed by the Long De Entities together with relevant certificates.

On 20 September 2019, the Long De Entities wrote to PNM stating that the total number of shares which they presently seek to co-sell shall be 16 million shares for a total consideration of approximately RMB240 million and that the number of their co-sale shares may change. Based on discussion with its legal advisers, PNM is of the view that the initial notice does not constitute a valid notice under the terms of the Shareholders Agreement, thus the co-sale right should not be considered as properly exercised within the exercise period specified in the Shareholders Agreement.

If the Long De Entities continue to assert their co-sale right and a settlement has not been reached between the parties, legal proceedings may take place to resolve the matter and the outcome of such proceedings may or may not be favorable to PNM. As far as the Disposal is concerned, it is possible that there may be a reduction in the number of the Updated Sale Shares to be sold by PNM and the corresponding amount to be received by PNM. If the Long De Entities are able to validly exercise their co-sale rights for the tentatively requested 16 million shares, PNM preliminarily estimates that the Updated Sale Shares to be sold by PNM will be reduced to approximately 196,358,165 shares in Cayman Company and the proceeds to PNM from the Disposal will be reduced to approximately USD414,245,706.

PNM will continue its discussions with the Long De Entities for an amicable resolution of the disagreement between the parties, and the Company will make a further announcement as and when appropriate in accordance with applicable requirements of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to the Supplemental Agreement, the parties agreed on the following Updated Completion:

  1. First Completion
    The amount of the consideration at First Completion is US$200 million (approximately HK$1,560 million).
    Conditional upon the approval of the Matters by the Shareholders, the parties shall complete the sale of, and the purchase of, the corresponding part of the Updated Offshore Sale Shares (the "First Completion Offshore Sale Shares") in respect of the First Consideration and the Deposit by way of email confirmation within five
    (5) business days from the date of full payment of the First Consideration and the Residual Consideration Deposit made by the Purchaser or its designee(s) (the "First Completion", and the date of the First Completion, the "First Completion Date"). The First Completion Offshore Sale Shares comprise an aggregate of 94,802,752 shares of Cayman Company (including 27,639,580 series B preferred shares and 67,163,172 series C preferred shares of Cayman Company), representing approximately 15.18% of the equity interest on an as-if converted basis held by PNM in Cayman Company as of the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Considering the future development plan of Yidian Technology, the Group's investment in Yidian Technology (through Cayman Company) could be subject to the PRC regulatory restrictions on shareholding and the Disposal will provide a great exit opportunity for the Group. The Directors also consider that the Disposal will allow the Company to realize a considerable gain in its investment in Cayman Company hence strengthening the cash position for its own growth and expanding its product line or content through strategic investment opportunities if and when attractive opportunities arise. In addition, the remaining 3.63% equity interest in Cayman Company will allow the Group to participate in the further growth of Yidian Technology. The Group does not have any present intention to dispose of any of the remaining 3.63% equity interests in Cayman Company in the near future.

Under the Supplemental Agreement, the valuation of the Disposal Group by PNM's management is approximately US$1,318 million as opposed to approximately US$1,400 million under the Share Purchase Agreement, and the Updated Completion arrangements involve a longer period than the original Completion. In this connection, the Directors noted that the above terms have been agreed between the parties after further arm's length commercial negotiations, in view of the fact that the Purchaser disputed the satisfaction of certain Conditions after PNM sent a completion confirmation letter under the Share Purchase Agreement. The Directors also noted that, after the First Completion, the parties are contractually bound to eventually proceed to the Second Completion in accordance with the terms of the Supplemental Agreement. If the Purchaser does not proceed to the Second Completion in accordance with the terms of the Supplemental Agreement, the Group (through PNM) will have received the Deposit, the Deposit Interest, the First Consideration, the Residual Consideration Deposit and the Residual Consideration Deposit Interest (if any) while having the contractual claim and corresponding legal remedies as regards the Second Completion, and contractually entitled to repossess and exercise all rights attaching to the Updated Offshore Sale Shares transferred to the Purchaser at the First Completion (other than economic rights). In view of the above, the Directors consider that the arrangements under the Supplemental Agreement, being the result of arm's length commercial negotiations and reflecting the parties' intention to proceed with the Disposal despite the above event, are in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and able to safeguard the Company's interest.

Accordingly, the Directors consider that the terms (including the Consideration) of the Supplemental Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and the Disposal is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

The outstanding shares held by PNM in Cayman Company was previously recognized as "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" with fair value of approximately HK$2,592,665,000 as at 30 June 2019 (as at 31 December 2018: approximately HK$2,235,585,000). Upon Updated Completion, the remaining 3.63% of the equity interest in Cayman Company held by PNM remains to be recorded as "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss".

- 20 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subject to and upon the Updated Completion, it is estimated that the Company will recognize an unaudited gain on the Disposal upon Updated Completion (before tax and expenses) of approximately HK$1,156 million for the two years ending 31 December 2020 (gain for years ending 31 December 2019 and 2020 will be allocated in accordance with the effects of the Supplemental Agreement), which was calculated with reference to the cost of the Updated Offshore Sale Shares of approximately HK$2,339 million (which was calculated with reference to the carrying value of the Company's investment in the Disposal Group as at 30 June 2019 and without taking into account any future changes in fair value of the Updated Offshore Sale Shares).

The actual gain (or loss) as a result of the Disposal to be recorded by the Company is subject to audit and will be assessed after the Updated Completion.

INTENDED USE OF PROCEEDS FROM THE DISPOSAL

The estimated net proceeds of US$404 million (which was calculated based on the difference between the Consideration and the estimated transaction costs and the relevant income tax payable for the gain on the Disposal) derived from the Disposal will be held in cash, deposits or short- term investments, subject to the ongoing assessment of PNM's business development and funding requirements from time to time for future allocation of all or part of the proceeds to various potential uses, including but not limited to enhancing the operational capability of PNM's existing business, financing possible investment(s) and/or making dividend payment(s), if any.

FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

In line with its investment strategy and policy, the Group will continue to identify appropriate investment and divestment opportunities that fit the objective and investment criteria of the Group. It is expected that these investments will generate more consistent and stable (or less volatile) returns to the Group and, in turn, the Shareholders.

While the Group currently has sufficient financial resources for its future investment, it will continue to seek appropriate investment or divestment opportunities so as to bring positive impact on the operating and financial results of the Group in the foreseeable future.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the entering into of the Supplemental Agreement as calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules exceeds 75%, the Disposal constitutes a very substantial disposal for the Company under Rule 14.06(4) of the Listing Rules, and is subject to the announcement and Shareholders' approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Company's reporting accountant PricewaterhouseCoopers was engaged to review the historical financial information of the Group set out on pages I-2 to I-15 in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountant ("HKICPA")and with reference to Practice Note 750, Review of Financial Information under the Hong Kong Listing Rules for a Very Substantial Disposal issued by HKICPA. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable the reporting accountant to obtain assurance that the reporting accountant would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, the reporting accountant does not express an audit opinion. The reporting accountant has issued an unmodified review report.

As at 31 July 2019, the Group had total lease liability amounting to HK$748 million.

Save as disclosed above and apart from intra-group liabilities and normal accounts payable in the ordinary course of business, the Group did not have any other loan capital issued and outstanding or agreed to be issued but unissued, loans, bank overdrafts or other similar indebtedness, finance lease or hire purchase commitment, liabilities under acceptances (other than normal trade bills) or acceptance credits, mortgage, charges, guarantees or other material contingent liabilities as at the close of business on 31 July 2019.

The decline in the demand for luxury goods in China had led to a decrease in the advertising income of the television broadcasting business. Due to the relatively fixed cost structure, the segmental profit for the television broadcasting business decreased to approximately HK$417,619,000 for the year ended 31 December 2016 (year ended 31 December 2015 HK$521,704,000).

The total revenue of Phoenix Hong Kong Channel, Phoenix Movies Channel, Phoenix North America Chinese Channel, Phoenix Chinese News and Entertainment Channel and others decreased by 18% as compared to the previous year to approximately HK$120,315,000 (year ended 31 December 2015: HK$146,793,000).

The revenue of the new media business for the year ended 31 December 2016 decreased by 15.2% to approximately HK$1,629,661,000 (year ended 31 December 2015: HK$1,920,708,000) due to the decrease in mobile value-added services resulting from the decrease in user demands. The segmental profit of new media business for the year ended 31 December 2016 increased by 153.3% to approximately HK$389,113,000 (year ended 31 December 2015: HK$153,634,000). Increase in segmental profit was primarily due to increase in net gain related to subsequent measurement of the investment in Cayman Company (in which the Group's interest will after the Updated Completion decrease to approximately 3.63%) to HK$283,661,000 for the year ended 31 December 2016 from HK$11,348,000 for the year ended 31 December 2015.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

As at 31 December 2016, the operations of the Group were mainly financed by owners' equity, bank borrowings, loans from non-controlling shareholders of subsidiaries and banking facilities.

Prospects

The Group's competitive edge and core abilities remained strong, signified by its continuing brand influence, premium content, credibility and cross-media convergence strategy. The Group responded to changes in audience viewing behavior and implemented a comprehensive mobile strategy, and developed and acquired mobile apps delivering serious journalism and personal interest-based information to high-end users and the mass market.

While actively developing the new media component, with a refined distribution channels strategy, the Group would continue to expand its television broadcasting presence, not only maintaining its traditional distribution through satellite and cable systems, but also reaching global audience by means of OTT (Over-The Top content) and IPTV.

At the same time, the Group, as part of its risk management strategy, also diversified its core media business into new businesses including entertainment, culture, exhibition and event management.

Phoenix Chinese Channel responded to the changing business environment by reviewing programs and seeking to meet the changing interests of the mass audience by introducing new material. This approach was conducted with a long-term view, and only led to the production of new programs after careful consideration of audience preferences. Phoenix had also increased the coordination between program production and advertising marketing in order to ensure that the programs that Phoenix would produce and broadcast all would have an appeal to potential advertisers. There had also been some reorganization of the advertising department in order to make it better equipped to meet the changing character of the advertising market. There had also been reports from global consultancy firms that indicate that the mainland luxury goods market began to recover, which suggested that in due course Phoenix would be able to benefit from growing consumer demand for luxury goods produced by companies that would need to advertise their products to attract Chinese buyers. Thus, while Phoenix faced a difficult economic environment at present, the long-term prospects for the Group looked promising.

Significant Investments Held

As at 31 December 2016, the Group invested in listed security investments with estimated fair market value of approximately HK$19,003,000 (as at 31 December 2015: HK$18,896,000) recognized as "financial assets at fair value through profit and loss" and unlisted preferred shares of Cayman Company recognized as "available-for-sale financial assets" and "derivative financial instruments" with estimated fair market value of approximately HK$605,849,000 (as at 31 December 2015: HK$390,200,000) and HK$440,261,000 (as at 31 December 2015: HK$216,742,000) respectively.
