ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY THE SHAREHOLDERS

For the purpose of determining the entitlements of the Scheme Shareholders to attend and vote at the Court Meeting and of the Shareholders to attend and vote at the EGM, the register of members of the Company in respect of the Shares will be closed from Tuesday, 4 May 2021 to Monday, 10 May 2021 (both dates inclusive) and during such period, no registration of transfer of the Shares will be effected. In order to qualify to attend and vote at the Court Meeting and the EGM, all transfers of the Shares accompanied by the relevant share certificates must be lodged with the Company's branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong on or before 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 3 May 2021.

A pink form of proxy for use at the Court Meeting and a white form of proxy for use at the EGM are enclosed with copies of this Scheme Document sent to the relevant Registered Owners.

The register of members of the Company will be closed during such period for the purposes of determining the entitlement of the Scheme Shareholders to attend and vote at the Court Meeting and the entitlement of the Shareholders to attend and vote at the EGM. This book close period is not for determining entitlements under the Proposal.

Whether or not you are able to attend the Court Meeting and/or the EGM, we strongly urge you to complete and sign the enclosed pink form of proxy in respect of the Court Meeting and the enclosed white form of proxy in respect of the EGM, in accordance with the instructions printed thereon, and to lodge them at the office of the Company's branch share registrar and transfer office in Hong Kong, Tricor Tengis Limited at Level 54, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Hong Kong. In order to be valid, the pink form of proxy for use at the Court Meeting should be lodged not later than 10:00 a.m., Saturday, 8 May 2021 or be handed to the Chairman of the Court Meeting at the Court Meeting (who shall have absolute discretion whether or not to accept it), and the white form of proxy for use at the EGM should be lodged not later than 11:00 a.m., Saturday, 8 May 2021. The completion and return of the relevant form of proxy for the Court Meeting and/or the EGM will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the relevant meeting. In such event, the returned form of proxy will be deemed to have been revoked.

If you do not appoint a proxy and you do not attend and vote at the Court Meeting and/or the EGM, you will still be bound by the outcome of the Court Meeting and the EGM if, among other things, the relevant resolutions are passed by the requisite majorities of Scheme Shareholders, Independent Shareholders or Shareholders. We wish to remind you that physical attendance in person at the Court Meeting and EGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising your voting rights. We strongly advise you, particularly if you are unwell or subject to quarantine in relation to COVID-19, that you may appoint any person as a proxy to vote on the resolutions, instead of attending the Court Meeting and EGM in person.

Voting at the Court Meeting and the EGM will be taken by poll.

The Company will make an announcement in relation to the results of the Court Meeting and the EGM not later than 7:00 p.m. on Monday, 10 May 2021. The Company will make further announcements of the results of the hearing of the petition to, among other things, sanction the Scheme by the Grand Court and, if the Scheme is sanctioned, the Effective Date and the date of withdrawal of the listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange in accordance with the requirements of the Takeovers Code and the Listing Rules.

PART II

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY PERSONS HOLDING SHARES THROUGH TRUST OR CCASS

The Company will not recognize any person as holding any Shares through any trust. If you are a Beneficial Owner whose Shares are held upon trust by, and registered in the name of, a Registered Owner (other than HKSCC Nominees Limited), you should contact the Registered Owner and provide the Registered Owner with instructions in relation to the manner in which your Shares should be voted at the Court Meeting and/or the EGM. Such instructions should be given in advance of the aforementioned latest time for the lodgment of forms of proxy in respect of the Court Meeting and the EGM in order to provide the Registered Owner with sufficient time to accurately complete and submit his, her or its proxy. To the extent that any Registered Owner requires instructions from any Beneficial Owner in advance of the aforementioned latest time for the lodgment of forms of proxy in respect of the Court Meeting and/or the EGM, any such Beneficial Owner should comply with the requirements of the Registered Owner.

If you are a Beneficial Owner whose Shares are deposited in CCASS and registered under the name of HKSCC Nominees Limited, you must, unless you are an Investor Participant, contact your broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person who is, or has, in turn, deposited such Shares with other CCASS Participant, regarding voting instructions to be given to such persons if you wish to vote at the Court Meeting and/or the EGM. You should contact your broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person in advance of the latest time for the lodgment of forms of proxy in respect of the Court Meeting and/or the EGM, in order to provide such person with sufficient time to provide HKSCC Nominees Limited with instructions in relation to the manner in which the Shares of the Beneficial Owner should be voted at the Court Meeting and/or the EGM. In accordance with the direction from the Grand Court, for the purpose of calculating the "majority in number", HKSCC Nominees Limited shall be permitted to vote once for and once against the Scheme in accordance with instructions received from CCASS Participants (as defined under the General Rules of CCASS). The number of votes cast in favour of the Scheme and the number of CCASS Participants on whose instructions they are cast and the number of votes cast against the Scheme and the number of CCASS Participants on whose instructions they are cast will be disclosed to the Grand Court and may be taken into account in deciding whether or not the Grand Court should exercise its discretion to sanction the Scheme.

If you are a Beneficial Owner whose Shares are deposited in CCASS, you may also elect to become a Shareholder of record, and thereby have the right to attend and vote at the Court Meeting and the EGM. You can become a Shareholder of record by withdrawing your Shares from CCASS and becoming a Registered Owner of such Shares. For withdrawal of Shares from CCASS and registration thereof, you will be required to pay to CCASS a withdrawal fee per board lot withdrawn, a registration fee for each share certificate issued, stamp duty on each transfer instrument and, if your Shares are held through a financial intermediary, any other relevant fees charged by your financial intermediary. You should contact your broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person in advance of the latest time for lodging transfers of the Shares into your name so as to qualify to attend and vote at the Court Meeting and the EGM, in order to provide such broker, custodian, nominee or other relevant person with sufficient time to withdraw the Shares from CCASS and register them in your name.

ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

IF YOU ARE A SHAREHOLDER OR A BENEFICIAL OWNER, THE COMPANY AND THE OFFEROR STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE OR GIVE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE RELEVANT REGISTERED OWNER TO VOTE IN PERSON OR BY PROXY AT THE COURT MEETING AND AT THE EGM. IF YOU KEEP ANY SHARES IN A SHARE LENDING PROGRAMME, WE URGE YOU TO RECALL ANY OUTSTANDING SHARES ON LOAN TO AVOID MARKET PARTICIPANTS USING BORROWED SHARES TO VOTE.

IF YOU ARE A BENEFICIAL OWNER WHOSE SHARES ARE DEPOSITED IN CCASS, WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO PROVIDE HKSCC NOMINEES LIMITED WITH INSTRUCTIONS OR MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH HKSCC NOMINEES LIMITED IN RELATION TO THE MANNER IN WHICH THOSE SHARES SHOULD BE VOTED AT THE COURT MEETING AND THE EGM WITHOUT DELAY (AS DETAILED IN THE SECTION "ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY PERSONS HOLDING SHARES THROUGH TRUST OR CCASS" ABOVE). IF YOU ARE AN INDIVIDUAL SHAREHOLDER WHO WISHES TO ATTEND AND VOTE AT THE COURT MEETING AND/OR THE EGM AND FOR YOUR VOTES TO BE COUNTED INDIVIDUALLY FOR THE PURPOSE OF CALCULATING THE "MAJORITY IN NUMBER" REQUIREMENT AT THE COURT MEETING AND/OR THE NUMBER OF VOTES FOR PASSING THE RESPECTIVE RESOLUTIONS AT THE EGM, YOU SHOULD WITHDRAW YOUR SHARES FROM CCASS AND BECOME A REGISTERED OWNER OF SUCH SHARES.

IF YOU ARE A REGISTERED OWNER HOLDING SHARES ON BEHALF OF BENEFICIAL OWNERS, WE SHOULD BE GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD INFORM THE RELEVANT BENEFICIAL OWNERS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF EXERCISING THEIR VOTE.

IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT AS TO THE ACTION TO BE TAKEN, YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONSULT YOUR LICENSED SECURITIES DEALER, BANK MANAGER, SOLICITOR, PROFESSIONAL ACCOUNTANT OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVISER.

PART III

EXPECTED TIMETABLE

  1. Please see the notice of the Court Meeting set out in Appendix VI to this Scheme Document and the notice of the EGM set out in Appendix VII to this Scheme Document. If a tropical cyclone warning signal No. 8 or above is or is expected to be hoisted, the Government of Hong Kong has announced or is expected to issue an announcement on "extreme conditions" caused by super typhoons or a black rainstorm warning signal is or is expected to be in force at any time after 7:00 a.m. on the date of the Court Meeting and the EGM, the Court Meeting and the EGM will be postponed or adjourned. The Company will post an announcement on the respective websites of the Stock Exchange and the Company to notify the Scheme Shareholders and Shareholders (as the case may be) of the date, time and venue of the rescheduled meetings.
  2. The register will be closed as from such date and on such date for the purpose of determining the Scheme Shareholders who are qualified for entitlement under the Scheme.
  3. When all the Scheme Conditions (other than delivery of the order for registration) are satisfied or waived (as applicable), the order sanctioning the Scheme may be delivered to the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman
    Islands at which point it may become effective and binding on the Offeror, the Company and all the Scheme Shareholders. The Effective Date would be earlier than the date of announcement of the Effective Date and the withdrawal of listing of the Shares on the Stock Exchange due to the timing difference between Hong Kong and
    Cayman Islands.

Letter from the Board

The purpose of this Scheme Document is to provide you with further information regarding the Proposal and the expected timetable and to give you notices of the Court Meeting and the EGM (together with proxy forms in relation thereto). Your attention is also drawn to the letter from the Independent Board Committee set out in Part V of this Scheme Document, the letter from Rainbow Capital set out in Part VI of this Scheme Document, the Explanatory Statement set out in Part VII of this Scheme Document, the terms of the Scheme set out in Appendix V to this Scheme Document, the property valuation report from Vigers in respect of the property interests of the Group in Hong Kong set out in Appendix III to this Scheme Document and the property valuation report from Cushman & Wakefield in respect of the property interests of the Group in the PRC and Macau set out in Appendix IV to this Scheme Document.

2. THE SCHEME

Under the Scheme, the Scheme Shares will be cancelled and extinguished and, in consideration thereof, each Scheme Shareholder will be entitled to receive the Cancellation Price in cash for each Scheme Share cancelled and extinguished.

The total consideration payable to the Scheme Shareholders for the Scheme Shares cancelled and extinguished will be paid by the Offeror in cash.

The Cancellation Price will not be increased, and the Offeror does not reserve the right to do so.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not declared any dividend which remains unpaid and the Company does not intend to declare and/or pay any dividend during the Offer Period.

The Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share cancelled and extinguished represents:

  • a premium of approximately 2.04% over the closing price of HK$1.47 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date;
  • a premium of approximately 61.29% over the closing price of HK$0.93 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 63.22% over the average closing price of HK$0.919 per
    Share based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

  • a premium of approximately 104.14% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.7348 per Share based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 90 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;

Letter from the Board

  • a premium of approximately 105.82% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.7288 per Share based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 120 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a premium of approximately 99.12% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.7533 per Share based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 180 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day;
  • a discount of approximately 52.43% to the audited consolidated total equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$3.1530 per Share as at 31
    December 2019, calculated based on the audited consolidated total equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$13,996,134,000 as at 31 December 2019 and the 4,438,967,838 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date;
  • a discount of approximately 53.02% to the audited consolidated total equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$3.1926 per Share as at 31 December 2020, calculated based on the audited consolidated total equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$14,171,642,000 as at 31 December 2020 and the 4,438,967,838 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable
    Date;
  • a discount of approximately 54.61% to the adjusted unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Group of approximately HK$3.3049 per share, which took into account
    (i) the audited consolidated total equity attributable to the equity shareholders of the Company as at 31 December 2020 and (ii) the valuation of the Group's property interests as at 31 January 2021, as detailed in Appendix I to this Scheme Document; and
  • a discount of approximately 51.65% to the unaudited consolidated total equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$3.1026 per Share as at 30 June 2020, calculated based on the total equity attributable to equity shareholders of the Company of approximately HK$13,772,436,000 as at 30 June 2020 and the 4,438,967,838 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

The Cancellation Price has been determined on an arm's length basis after taking into account, among other things, the recent and historical market prices of the Shares, publicly available financial information of the Company, and other privatization transactions in Hong Kong in recent years.

Highest and lowest prices of the Shares

During the three years up to and including the Last Trading Day, the highest closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$1.16 per Share on 2 May 2019 and 3 May 2019, and the lowest closing price of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange was HK$0.58 per Share on 5 March 2018.

PART IV

Letter from the Board

  1. all authorizations, registrations, filings, rulings, consents, opinions, permissions and approvals in connection with the Proposal required before the Scheme becoming effective remaining in full force and effect without variation, and all necessary statutory or regulatory obligations in all relevant jurisdictions in connection with the Proposal having been complied with and no requirement having been imposed by any governments and/or government bodies, regulatory bodies, courts or institutions which is not expressly provided for, or is in addition to requirements expressly provided for, in relevant laws, rules, regulations or codes in connection with the Proposal or any matters, documents (including circulars) or things relating thereto, in each aforesaid case up to and at the time when the Scheme becomes effective;

PART IV

Letter from the Board

  1. each member of the Group remaining solvent and not being subject to any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings or likewise and no liquidator, receiver or other person carrying out any similar function having been appointed anywhere in the world in respect of the whole or any substantial part of the assets and undertakings of any member of the Group from the Announcement Date up to and at the time when the Scheme becomes effective.

The Offeror reserves the right to waive Scheme Conditions (f) to (k) either in whole or in part, either generally or in respect of any particular matter. Scheme Conditions (a) to (e) cannot be waived in any event. Pursuant to Note 2 to Rule 30.1 of the Takeovers Code, the Offeror may only invoke any or all of the Scheme Conditions as a basis for not proceeding with the Proposal if the circumstances which give rise to the right to invoke any such Scheme Condition are of material significance to the Offeror in the context of the Proposal. The Company has no right to waive any of the Scheme Conditions. All of the Scheme Conditions will have to be fulfilled or waived, as applicable, on or before the Long Stop Date, failing which the Scheme will lapse. When the Scheme Conditions are satisfied or waived (as applicable), the Scheme will become effective and binding on the Offeror, the Company and all the Scheme Shareholders.

Assuming that the Scheme Conditions are satisfied or validly waived (as applicable), it is expected that the Scheme will become effective on Friday, 21 May 2021 (Cayman Islands Time). A detailed timetable is set out in Part III of this Scheme Document.

In respect of Scheme Conditions (f) to (h), apart from Scheme Condition (d) and the approval from each of the board of the Offeror and the Company in respect of the implementation of the Proposal, the directors of the Offeror and the Company are not currently aware of any other authorizations or consents which are required. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the approvals from each of the board of the Offeror and the Company in respect of the implementation of the Proposal have been obtained. None of the above Scheme Conditions have been fulfilled or waived as at the Latest Practicable Date.

If the Scheme is approved, the share capital of the Company will, on the Effective Date, be reduced by cancelling and extinguishing the Scheme Shares. Upon such reduction, the share capital of the Company will be increased to its former amount by the issuance at par to the Offeror, credited as fully paid, of the aggregate number of Shares as is equal to the number of Scheme Shares cancelled and extinguished. The reserve created in the Company's books of account as a result of the capital reduction will be applied in paying up in full at par the new Shares so allotted and issued, credited as fully paid, to the Offeror.

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should be aware that the implementation of the Proposal is subject to the Scheme Conditions being fulfilled or waived, as applicable, and thus the Proposal may or may not be implemented and the Scheme may or may not become effective. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company. Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor or other professional advisers.

PART IV

Letter from the Board

3. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSAL

The Proposal represents a good opportunity for the Scheme Shareholders to realise their investment with a substantial premium against the backdrop of low liquidity

The Offeror considers that the Proposal will provide the Scheme Shareholders with an opportunity to realise their investment in the Company at a price above the prevailing market price of the Shares.

The Cancellation Price, being HK$1.50 per Scheme Share, represents a premium of approximately 61.29% over the closing price of HK$0.93 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day. It also represents a premium of approximately 72.55%, 94.23%, 104.14%, 105.82% and 99.12% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.8693, HK$0.7723, HK$0.7348, HK$0.7288 and HK$0.7533 per Share based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day, respectively.

During the three years up to and including the Last Trading Day, the lowest and highest closing prices per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange were HK$0.58 and HK$1.16, respectively. The Cancellation Price represents a premium of approximately 158.62% to the lowest closing price and a premium of approximately 29.31% to the highest closing price in the above period.

The liquidity of the Shares has been at a relatively low level over a long period of time. For the one year up to and including the Last Trading Day, the average daily trading volume of the Shares was approximately 1,443,000 Shares, representing only approximately 0.03% of the issued Shares as of the Last Trading Day and the average daily turnover was approximately HK$1,043,000. The low trading liquidity of the Shares makes it difficult for Shareholders to execute significant on-market disposals without adversely affecting the market price of the Shares.

The Proposal is intended to provide the Scheme Shareholders with an opportunity to realise their entire investment in the Company for cash at a substantial premium over market prices of the Shares without having to suffer any illiquidity discount.

Costs and expenses of maintaining the Company's listing status

The Company has not in recent years conducted any equity fund raising activities, being primary benefit of a listing status. Continued listing of the Shares is not expected to provide any meaningful benefit to the Company in the near term.

The listing of the Company involves administrative, compliance and other listing-related costs and expenses. If the Proposal is successful, these costs and expenses would be eliminated and thus allow the Offeror and the Company to allocate more resources for the development of the business of the Group.

Furthermore, following the implementation of the Proposal, the Company can be relieved from market expectations and share price fluctuation as a publicly listed company. The management of the Company can also utilise the resources which would otherwise go towards administrative, compliance and other listing-related matters of the Company on the business operations of the Group.

PART IV

Letter from the Board

The Proposal will enable the Group to execute its strategies more efficiently and effectively

The principal activities of the Group are property investment and development, oil exploration and production, manufacturing of ice, provision of cold storage services and financial investments. In order to achieve long-term commercial development and maintain competitiveness, the Group needs to assess its strategies and implement appropriate changes to its business model if necessary. Following the implementation of the Proposal, the Group will be in a better position to execute its business strategies more efficiently and effectively as a private entity. With the Company becoming an unlisted wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror, the Offeror considers that it will help improving the Company's operational efficiency and achieve economies of scale, for example through resources sharing with the Offeror such as sharing of expertise, hence achieving cost savings.

  1. TOTAL CONSIDERATION AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES
    The Proposal will involve the cancellation and extinguishment of the Scheme Shares at the
    Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share cancelled and extinguished. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 4,438,967,838 Shares in issue of which the Offeror holds an aggregate of 2,615,636,918 Shares (representing approximately 58.92% of the issued share capital of the Company), and there are 1,823,330,920 Scheme Shares in issue. There are no outstanding options, warrants, derivatives or other relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) issued by the Company that carry a right to subscribe for or which are convertible into Shares.
    On the assumption that there will be no change in the shareholding structure of the Company before completion of the Proposal and based on the Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share and a total of 1,823,330,920 Scheme Shares, the total consideration required for the Scheme is approximately HK$2,735 million.
    The Offeror intends to finance the implementation of the Scheme through available loan facilities. BOCI, one of the joint financial advisers to the Offeror, is satisfied that sufficient financial resources are available to the Offeror for discharging its obligations in respect of the full implementation of the Scheme.
  2. SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total authorized share capital of the Company is HK$1,050,000,000. The authorized share capital of the Company for its ordinary shares is HK$1,000,000,000 divided into 10,000,000,000 Shares at a par value of HK$0.10 each and the authorized share capital of the Company for its preference shares is HK$50,000,000 divided into 5,000,000,000 shares at a par value of HK$0.01 each. The Company has 4,438,967,838
    Shares in issue and no preference shares in issue.

    The Offeror is ultimately wholly owned by Mr. Or Wai Sheun, an executive Director.

  2. INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE
    The Independent Board Committee, comprising Mr. Liu Kwong Sang, Dr. Tsui Wai Ling,

Ms. Or Pui Ying, Peranza, a non-executive Director, is the daughter of Mr. Or Wai Sheun, the ultimate beneficial owner of the Offeror.

    The making and implementation of the Scheme to Scheme Shareholders who are not resident in Hong Kong may be subject to the laws of the relevant jurisdictions in which such Scheme
    Shareholders are located. Such Scheme Shareholders should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal, tax or regulatory requirements. It is the responsibility of any Overseas Shareholders wishing to take any action in relation to the Proposal to satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange control or other consents which may be required, or the compliance with other necessary formalities and the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such jurisdiction.
    Any acceptance by Overseas Shareholders will be deemed to constitute a representation and warranty from such persons to the Company, the Offeror and their respective advisers, that those laws and regulatory requirements have been complied with. If such Overseas Shareholders are in doubt as to their positions, they should consult their professional advisers.
    As at the Latest Practicable Date, to the Company's best knowledge, there were 2 Shareholders whose addresses as shown in the register of members of the Company were situated in the

    Australia Shareholders, the Singapore Shareholders and the Macau Shareholder, respectively.

18. COURT MEETING AND EGM

In accordance with the direction of the Grand Court, the Court Meeting will be held for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing the resolution to approve the Scheme (with or without modification(s)).

Scheme Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company as at the Scheme Court Meeting Record Date will be entitled to attend and vote on the Scheme at the Court Meeting in person or by proxy. At the Court Meeting, Scheme Shareholders present and voting either in person or by proxy will be entitled to vote their Scheme Shares in favour of the Scheme or against it.

- 29 -

PART IV

Letter from the Board

The Scheme is conditional upon, amongst other things, approval by a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders representing not less than 75% in value of the Scheme Shares present and voting in person or by proxy at the Court Meeting. In addition, the Scheme must be approved (by way of poll) by Independent Shareholders holding at least 75% of the votes attaching to the Scheme Shares held by Independent Shareholders that are voting either in person or by proxy at the Court Meeting; provided that the number of votes cast (by way of poll) by Independent Shareholders present and voting either in person or by proxy at the Court Meeting against the resolution to approve the Scheme at the Court Meeting is not more than 10% of the votes attaching to all Scheme Shares held by all the Independent Shareholders.

In accordance with the Companies Act, the "75% in value" requirement will be met if the total value of the Shares being voted in favour of the Scheme is at least 75% of the total value of the Shares voted at the Court Meeting. In accordance with the Companies Act, the "majority in number" requirement will be met if the number of the Scheme Shareholders voting in favour of the Scheme exceeds the number of the Scheme Shareholders voting against the Scheme. For the purpose of calculating the "majority in number" requirement, the number of the Scheme Shareholders, present and voting in person or by proxy, will be counted. For the purpose of the Takeovers Code, only the number of Scheme Shares from an Independent Shareholder being so voted will count towards the "75% in value" requirement as Shareholders who are not Independent Shareholders will be required to abstain from voting at the Court Meeting in accordance with the Takeovers Code.

In accordance with the direction from the Grand Court, for the purpose of calculating the "majority in number", HKSCC Nominees Limited shall be permitted to vote once for and once against the Scheme in accordance with the instructions received by it from the Investor Participants and other CCASS Participants. For the purpose of the headcount test, if HKSCC Nominees Limited receives an instruction to vote both for and against the Scheme, it will counted as one Shareholder under "for" and as one shareholder under "against". The number of votes cast in favour of the Scheme and the number of CCASS Participants on whose instructions they are cast and the number of votes cast against the Scheme and the number of CCASS Participants on whose instructions they are cast will be disclosed to the Grand Court and may be taken into account in deciding whether or not the Grand Court should exercise its discretion to sanction the Scheme.

The EGM will be held as soon as after the Court Meeting has been concluded or adjourned for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing resolutions to approve, among other things, the reduction of the number of issued Shares in the share capital of the Company by cancelling and extinguishing all Scheme Shares. All Shareholders will be entitled to attend and vote in person or by proxy on such resolutions at the EGM.

At the EGM, a poll will be taken, and each Shareholder present and voting either in person or by proxy, will be entitled to vote all of his/her/its Shares in favour of (or against) the special resolutions and/or the ordinary resolution. Alternatively, such Shareholder may vote some of their Shares in favour of the special resolutions and/or the ordinary resolution and any or all of the balance of their Shares against the special resolutions and/or the ordinary resolution (and vice versa). At the relevant EGM, the special and ordinary resolutions will be put to the vote by way of poll as required under Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules.

- 30 -

PART IV

Letter from the Board

Announcement(s) will be made by the Company and the Offeror in relation to the results of the Court Meeting and the EGM in accordance with Rule 19.1 of the Takeovers Code to the extent applicable. Information on the number of votes cast for and the number of votes cast against the Scheme, and the number of CCASS Participants on whose instructions they are cast will be included in such announcement(s).

Notices of the Court Meeting and the EGM are set out in Appendix VI and Appendix VII to this Scheme Document.

19. PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES AT THE COURT MEETING AND EGM

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 and requirements for its effective prevention and control, the Company will implement the following precautionary measures at the Court Meeting and EGM to protect the Shareholders, staff and other stakeholders from the risk of infection:

  1. compulsory body temperature checks will be conducted for all attendees at the entrance of the Court Meeting and EGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over
    37.4 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the Court Meeting and EGM venue or be required to leave;
  2. all attendees are required to wear surgical face masks inside the Court Meeting and EGM venue at all times, and to maintain a safe distance between seats; and
  3. no refreshments will be served.

To the extent permitted under law, the Company reserves the right to deny entry into the Court Meeting and EGM venue or require any person to leave in order to ensure the safety of the attendees at the Court Meeting and EGM.

Pursuant to the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation (Cap. 599G) (the "Regulation"), group gatherings of more than a designated number of persons as prescribed under the Regulation for shareholders' meetings are required to be accommodated in separate rooms or partitioned areas. The Company will comply with the relevant requirements under the Regulation as and when appropriate at the time of the Court Meeting and EGM.

Furthermore, the Company wishes to remind the Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the Court Meeting and EGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising their voting rights. The Company wishes to strongly advise the Shareholders, particularly Shareholders who are unwell or subject to quarantine in relation to COVID-19, that they may appoint any person as a proxy to vote on the resolutions, instead of attending the Court Meeting and EGM in person.

The Company will keep the Shareholders informed by way of further announcement if there are any material updates on the Regulation which would affect the Court Meeting and EGM.

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In formulating our opinion and recommendation with regard to the Proposal, we have taken into account the following principal factors and reasons:

1. Background information of the Group

The Group is principally engaged in (a) property development (the "Property Business") and investment; (b) manufacturing of ice and provision of cold storage services (the "Ice and Cold Storage Business"); (c) oil exploration and production (the "Oil Business"); and (d) financial investments (the "Financial Investment Business"). For the year ended 31 December 2020, the Property Business, the Ice and Cold Storage Business, the Oil Business and the Financial Investment Business accounted for approximately 69.6%, 16.2%, 4.7% and 9.5% of total revenue of the Group, respectively.

  1. Property Business
    The Group currently holds 80% interests in the development of two properties (the "Properties") located at Lotes T+T1 and Lote P of Novos Aterros da Areia Preta in Macau, being the La Marina and the Pearl Horizon development projects, respectively, under two co-investment agreements entered into with two wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Related Companies") of Polytec Holdings International Limited ("Polytec Holdings"), the then ultimate holding company of the Company. Polytec Holdings was ultimately wholly-owned by Mr. Or Wai Sheun, an executive Director and a controlling
    Shareholder, as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Related Companies are the registered owners of the Properties. Pursuant to the co-investment agreements, the Group will provide funding to cover any shortfall in the funding of the property development projects which is subject to an aggregate maximum amount and will in turn receive distributions from the property development projects according to the formulae set out in the co-investment agreements. According to the Group's accounting policies, the Group's interests in property development are stated at fair value. In addition, the Group are interested in certain commercial and residential properties in Macau and Hong Kong, which are held for sale and are stated as the lower of cost and net realizable value according to the Group's accounting policies. In 2018, the Group acquired 50% interest in a joint venture company which held a property development project in Zhongshan.
    Revenue generated from the Property Business comprises sales of properties and distribution from interests in property development. For the three years ended 31 December 2020, revenue generated from the Property Business amounted to approximately HK$1,400.0 million, HK$724.5 million and HK$500.3 million, representing approximately 87.9%, 79.9% and 69.6% of total revenue of the Group, respectively.
    Details of the Group's property interests are set out below:

- 39 -

PART VI

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

  1. The La Marina development project (the "La Marina Project")
    The La Marina Project comprises a number of high-end residential blocks with retail shops and car parking spaces with a total gross floor area ("GFA") of 182,000 square metres ("sq.m."). Construction works were completed and the occupation permit was obtained in July 2017 with pre-sold units gradually delivered to the buyers since late December 2017. For the four years ended 31 December 2020, distributions of HK$500 million, HK$1,400 million, HK$720 million and HK$500 million were made to the Company in relation to the La
    Marina Project. As advised by the Directors, the amount of distributions is determined based on the sales proceeds from the La Marina Project and the cash flow position of the property owner which may fluctuate from time to time. As at 31 December 2020, the carrying amount of the Group's interest in the La Marina Project amounted to approximately HK$3.8 billion.
    As disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2019 (the "2019 Annual Report"), the income to be received from the Group's interest in the La Marina Project is expected to make an important contribution to the Group's results in the next two years.
  2. The Pearl Horizon development project (the "Lote P Project")
    Under the related land concession, the construction of the Lote P Project has to be completed on or before 25 December 2015 (the "Expiry Date").
    In September 2013, the Government of Macau Special Administrative Region (the "Macau Government") promulgated the Macau New Land Law (the "New Land Law") which came into effect in March 2014. The New Land Law provides that the Macau Government will be entitled to reclaim the land of any property development that is not completed or fails to fulfil the conditions stated in the land concession by the stipulated expiry date without any compensation to the property owner.
    As a result of the delay by the Macau Government in granting the requisite approvals and permits for the development of the Lote P Project, the Lote P Project could not commence until August 2014. As a result, the construction work of the Lote P Project could not be completed by the Expiry Date and all construction work is currently suspended.
    On 23 May 2018, the Tribunal de Ultima Instancia (the Court of Final Appeal) of Macau rejected the application of final appeal by the registered owner (the "Owner") of the property of the Lote P Project for invalidating the decision made by the Chief Executive of Macau to terminate the land concession of the
    Lote P Project. On 30 March 2020, an unfavourable judgement was issued by the
    Tribunal Administrative (the Administrative Court) in Macau for the civil claim filed by the Owner against the Macau Government to seek compensation for losses and damage on the Lote P Project on 29 November 2018. In this regard, a petition for appeal (the "Petition") was submitted to the Court of Second Instance in Macau on 29 May 2020. However, an application for the withdrawal of the
    Petition was submitted by the Owner on 11 September 2020. The application was accepted by the Court of Second Instance and the aforesaid civil claim was therefore terminated. The Lote P Project was reclaimed by the Macau Government without any compensation to the Owner and therefore will not proceed.

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

Pursuant to the co-investment agreement for the development of the Lote P Project, in the event that the Owner fails to complete the Lote P Project, Polytec Holdings will be required to indemnify the Group in respect of any loss suffered. Therefore, any loss to the Group due to the repossession of the land of the Lote P Project by the Macau Government will be indemnified by Polytec Holdings (the "Indemnity"). Polytec Holdings has agreed to pay the Indemnity in the amount of approximately HK$8.4 billion, together with interest charged at a prevailing market rate per annum, to the Group in the proportion of 20%, 40% and 40% of the amount of the Indemnity (plus all interest accrued up to each year end date) in cash by the end of 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively.

The Indemnity has been accounted for in the equity attributable to the Shareholders as at 31 December 2020. The carrying amount of the Group's interest in the Lote P Project in the form of the Indemnity receivable from Polytec Holdings amounted to approximately HK$8.4 billion as at 31 December 2020.

  1. The Zhongshan property development project

As stated in the annual results announcement of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2020 (the "2020 Annual Results"), the rental income generated from the Group's investment properties in Macau is expected to remain stable in 2021 as the COVID-19 outbreak is seen to be largely under control.

  1. Oil Business
    The Group is engaged in oil production and exploration in Kazakhstan. For the three years ended 31 December 2020, revenue generated from the Oil Business amounted to approximately HK$75.1 million, HK$61.5 million and HK$33.6 million, with loss after tax of approximately HK$15.9 million, HK$285.4 million and HK$71.7 million, respectively. The significant increase in loss after tax for the year ended 31
    December 2019 as compared to the previous year was mainly due to the impairment loss of approximately HK$231.6 million made for the Group's oil production and exploitation assets in Kazakhstan based on the assessment of the prevailing oil market and its development plan. The loss after tax of approximately HK$71.7 million for the year ended 31 December 2020 was mainly attributable to the full write-off of the remaining value of the Group's oil production and exploitation assets in the amount of approximately HK$59.5 million due to the weak global demand for oil and low oil prices in the short- to medium-term.
    As at 31 December 2020, the oil production assets (included in property, plant and equipment) and oil exploitation assets were fully depreciated and impaired. As disclosed in the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2020 (the "2020 Interim Report") and the 2020 Annual Results, given the Oil Business has been adversely affected by the major suspension of world economic activities caused by the COVID-19 outbreak and is not expected to recover in the short term, the Group intends to terminate the oilfield operation in Kazakhstan which will no longer have significant impact on the Group's overall results in the future. As at the Latest Practicable Date, no concrete plan has been formulated for such termination.
  2. Financial Investment Business
    The Group commenced to engage in equity and debt investments in August 2019.
    For the two years ended 31 December 2020, revenue generated from the Financial Investment Business amounted to approximately HK$7.0 million and HK$68.5 million, respectively. The significant increase in revenue generated from the Financial Investment Business for the year ended 31 December 2020 was primarily due to (i) the net income from equity and debt investments recognized on a full year basis in 2020 as the Financial Investment Business was commenced in August 2019; and (ii) the increase in equity and debt investments (classified as other financial assets) from approximately HK$176.5 million as at 31 December 2019 to approximately HK$467.8 million as at 31
    December 2020.

2. Industry overview and outlook

Currently, the Group is principally engaged in (a) property development in Macau through its

80% interests in the La Marina Project; (b) property investment in Macau primarily through its 50% interest in South Bay which holds The Macau Square; and (c) property development in Zhongshan through its 50% interest in Smart Rising which holds the Zhongshan Project. For the year ended 31 December 2020, revenue generated from the La Marina Project amounted to HK$500 million, representing approximately 69.6% of total revenue, and the Group's share of gross rental income generated from The Macau Square amounted to approximately HK$77 million, representing approximately 93% of the Group's total share of gross rental income generated from its interests in investment properties. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the site drainage work of the Zhongshan Project was completed and the overall planning and design work was underway.

Property development and investment is the primary business of the Group. Set out below summarizes the overview and outlook of the property market in Macau and Zhongshan:

  1. Macau

The economic growth deteriorated in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Although no widespread transmission of the virus was observed within the city, the real GDP declined by 56.3% in 2020 as compared to the previous year.

Private consumption expenditure in real terms recorded a negative growth of 16.3% in 2020 after three consecutive years of growth during 2017 to 2019.

According to the news release (the "News Release") dated 13 January 2021 issued by Jones Lang LaSalle ("JLL"), an international real estate services provider, as a result of the economic downturn and the pandemic, the demand for office spaces was weak. According to JLL Macau Office Index, the rental values for the overall office market and Grade A office fell by approximately 7.3% and 1.8%, respectively, in 2020. The overall office vacancy rate rose to 10% at the end of 2020 from 7% at the end of 2019. (Source: https://www.jll.com.mo/en/newsroom/ jll-retail-rental-bottomed-out)

Due to the significant decrease of total visitor arrivals and therefore total spending of visitors, total retail sales decreased by approximately 41.5% from approximately MOP77,187 million in 2019 to approximately MOP45,192 million in 2020. According to JLL Macau Retail Index, the overall retail rental values fell by approximately 27.8% in 2020 as compared to 2019. As stated in the News Release, the current vacancy rate and future supply of retail properties have reached a high level in the recent year.

  1. Overall comment
    The Macau's economy has been adversely affected by the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, resulting in an adjustment in price levels in the overall property market in Macau, although the COVID-19 pandemic has been largely under control locally.
    As disclosed in the 2020 Interim Report, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to last for a period of time and the economy will be unlikely to recover soon.
    Total residential sales transaction value in Macau contracted significantly in 2019 and 2020. According to the News Release issued by JLL, while the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will gradually disappear, it takes time for the market to recover. JLL expected that the residential sales transaction volume in
    Macau will remain stable in 2021.

As for the commercial leasing markets, the rental values for the overall office and retail markets in Macau dropped by approximately 7.3% and 27.8% in 2020, respectively, with an increase in vacancy rates of office and retail properties. While the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the office leasing market is moderate, JLL expected that retail rents will face pressure in the short term given the current high vacancy rate and future supply of retail properties in Macau. Notwithstanding the above, JLL expected that the retail property market in Macau will recover once economic activities and inbound and outbound tourisms resume normal when the pandemic is contained following the roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines.

Zhongshan's real GDP grew by 1.2% and 1.5% in 2019 and 2020, respectively, decelerating from 6.6% and 5.9% in 2017 and 2018, respectively. According to a report "The Greater Bay Area: the path ahead" issued by JLL in June 2020 (Source:https://www.jll.com.hk/en/trends-and-insights/research/gba- whitepaper-2020), after completion of the construction of the Shenzhen- Zhongshan Bridge, the connection between Shenzhen and Zhongshan will be strengthened and some manufacturing enterprises in Shenzhen may consider moving their factories to Zhongshan, which will also promote the migration of the working population, accelerating the urbanization of Zhongshan. It is expected that the property market in Zhongshan will benefit from the steady development of the Greater Bay Area.

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

  1. FY2019 compared to FY2018
    The Property Business is the primary business of the Group, accounting for approximately 87.9% and 79.9% of total revenue for FY2018 and FY2019, respectively.
    Revenue of the Group decreased by approximately 43.1% from approximately HK$1,592.9 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$906.9 million for FY2019, primarily attributable to the decrease in revenue generated from the Property
    Business by approximately 48.3% from HK$1,400 million for FY2018 to HK$724.5 million for FY2019. This was mainly due to the decrease in the net income distributions from the Group's interest in the La Marina Project. Due to weakening demand, revenue generated from the Ice and Cold Storage Business decreased by approximately 3.4% from approximately HK$117.8 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$113.8 million for FY2019. As for the Oil Business, revenue decreased by approximately 18.0% from approximately HK$75.1 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$61.5 million for FY2019. The Group commenced its engagement in financial investment activities in August 2019 with total revenue of approximately HK$7.0 million from its fixed-income (bonds) and equity (blue-chip stocks) investments recognized in FY2019.
    Profit from operations decreased by approximately 52.7% from approximately HK$1,564.1 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$740.4 million for FY2019, primarily attributable to (1) the decrease in revenue as mentioned above; and (2) the impairment loss of approximately HK$231.6 million made for the Group's oil production and exploitation assets in Kazakhstan based on the assessment of the prevailing oil market and its development plan. This was partially offset by (1) the decrease in selling and distribution expenses, administrative expenses and other operating expenses by approximately HK$14.1 million; (2) the increase in other net income by approximately HK$5.6 million mainly due to the increase in bank and other interest income; and (3) the increase in fair value changes on interests in property development by approximately HK$82.1 million.
    Profit attributable to the Shareholders decreased by approximately 56.3% from approximately HK$1,618.5 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$707.3 million for FY2019, primarily attributable to (1) the decrease in the net income distributions from the Group's interest in the La Marina Project; (2) the impairment loss made for the Group's oil production and exploitation assets in
    Kazakhstan; and (3) the decrease in share of profits less losses of joint ventures by approximately 36.9% from approximately HK$111.6 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$70.4 million for FY2019, mainly due to the decrease in share of revaluation gain of The Macau Square by approximately HK$37.5 million. Accordingly, earnings per Share decreased from approximately 36.46 HK cents for FY2018 to approximately 15.93 HK cents for FY2019.
    For the same reasons stated above, the Group's underlying profit attributable to the Shareholders, which excludes revaluation changes of the joint venture's investment properties and fair value changes on interests in property development, decreased by approximately 68.1% from approximately HK$1,402.7 million for FY2018 to approximately HK$446.9 million for FY2019.

Total dividends declared for FY2018 and FY2019 were 9.50 HK cents and 7.30 HK cents, respectively.

  1. FY2020 compared to FY2019
    The Property Business accounted for approximately 79.9% and 69.6% of total revenue for FY2019 and FY2020, respectively.
    Revenue of the Group decreased by approximately 20.8% from approximately HK$906.9 million for FY2019 to approximately HK$718.5 million for FY2020, primarily attributable to (1) the decrease in revenue generated from the Property
    Business by approximately 30.9% from approximately HK$724.5 million for FY2019 to approximately HK$500.3 million for FY2020 mainly due to the decrease in the net income distributions from the Group's interest in the La Marina Project; and (2) the decrease in revenue generated from the Oil Business by approximately 45.5% from approximately HK$61.5 million for FY2019 to approximately HK$33.6 million for FY2020 due to the weak demand for oil and lower oil prices. This was partially offset by the increase in revenue by approximately HK$61.5 million generated from the Financial Investment Business which commenced in August 2019. Revenue generated from the Ice and Cold Storage Business increased slightly by approximately 2.0% from approximately HK$113.8 million for FY2019 to approximately HK$116.1 million for FY2020.
    Profit from operations decreased by approximately 34.1% from approximately HK$740.4 million for FY2019 to approximately HK$488.2 million for FY2020, primarily attributable to (1) the decrease in revenue as mentioned above; and
    (2) the change in fair value of interests in property development from a gain of approximately HK$252.3 million for FY2019 to a loss of approximately HK$50.6 million for FY2020 due to the decline in the overall property price in Macau caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This was partially offset by (1) the full write-off of the remaining value of the Group's oil production and exploitation assets in the amount of approximately HK$59.5 million for FY2020 due to the weak global demand for oil and low oil prices in the short- to medium-term as compared to that of approximately HK$231.6 million for FY2019; (2) the increase in other net income by approximately HK$25.7 million mainly due to the net effect of the increase in bank and other interest income, the fund received from the Employment Support Scheme under the Anti-epidemic Fund set out by the government and the provision for loss allowance of debt investments; and (3) the decrease in selling and distribution expenses and administrative expenses by approximately HK$20.1 million.

The decrease in profit attributable to the Shareholders by approximately 39.4% from approximately HK$707.3 million for FY2019 to approximately HK$429.0 million for FY2020 was primarily attributable to the decrease in profit from operations as mentioned above and the change in share of profits less losses of joint ventures from a profit of approximately HK$70.4 million for FY2019 to a loss of approximately HK$1.8 million for FY2020 mainly due to (1) the decrease in the revaluation change of The Macau Square from a gain of approximately HK$8.2 million for FY2019 to a loss of approximately HK$41.2 million for FY2020; and (2) the increase in share of loss of Smart Rising by approximately

HK$25.2 million. This was partially offset by the decrease in finance costs by approximately HK$20.9 million. Accordingly, earnings per Share decreased from approximately 15.93 HK cents for FY2019 to approximately 9.66 HK cents for FY2020.

Excluding revaluation changes of the joint venture's investment properties net of tax and fair value changes on interests in property development, the Group's underlying profit attributable to the Shareholders increased by approximately 16.5% from approximately HK$446.9 million for FY2019 to approximately HK$520.8 million for FY2020.

Dividends declared for FY2019 and FY2020 were 7.30 HK cents and 1.40 HK cents, respectively.

    1. Equity attributable to the Shareholders
      Based on the audited equity attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$14.2 billion as at 31 December 2020 and 4,438,967,838 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date, the net asset value ("NAV") per Share was approximately HK$3.1926.
    2. Liquidity and indebtedness position
      The Group was financially healthy given its net current assets of approximately
      HK$3.3 billion with a current ratio of approximately 3.3 as at 31 December 2020. As at 31 December 2020, the Group had (1) cash and bank balances of approximately HK$146.0 million; (2) amount due from a related company of HK$220 million which was arisen from the distributions from the Group's interests in property development; (3) bank loans of approximately HK$1.8 billion which were secured by the Group's leasehold land and buildings and South
      Bay's investment properties and interest bearing at prevailing market rates; and (4) amount due to a related company of approximately HK$124.2 million which was unsecured and interest bearing at prevailing market rates, resulting in a gearing ratio of approximately 11.1%. The gearing ratios of the Comparable Companies (as defined below) as at their latest year or period end ranged from approximately 6.8% to approximately 90.0% with an average and median of approximately 40.5% and 32.6%, respectively. The Group's gearing is within the industry range. We consider that the Group continued to maintain a sound financial position.
  1. Overall comment
    The Group has been focusing on property development in Macau since the change of the management in 2004. As a result, the revenue and profit of the Group are to a large extent driven by the Property Business. While the performance of the Ice and Cold Storage Business and the Financial Investment Business remains relatively stable, the Group intends to terminate the Oil Business due to weak global demand for oil and low oil prices as stated in the 2020 Interim Report and the 2020 Annual Results. As a result, the financial performance and growth of the Group will be largely dependent on those of the Property Business. Following completion of the La Marina Project in 2017, the
    Company has currently no property development projects in the pipeline in Macau.
    Although the Lote P Project will not proceed as a result of the reclamation by the Macau Government without any compensation paid to the Owner due to the New Land Law, Polytec Holdings has agreed to provide the Indemnity to the Group which has been accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
    For the three years ended 31 December 2020, the Property Business accounted for approximately 87.9%, 79.9% and 69.6% of the Group's total revenue, respectively, and contributed most of the Group's total segment results. Particularly, the La Marina Project contributed 100%, 99.4% and 99.9% of the Group's revenue generated from the Property Business for the same periods, respectively. As disclosed in the 2019 Annual Report, the income to be received from the Group's interest in the La Marina Project is expected to make an important contribution to the Group's results in the next two years.
    As a result, the financial performance of the Property Business in the short term will largely hinge on the sales of the La Marina Project.

- 55 -

PART VI

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

Taking into account (i) the Group currently has only one property development project (i.e. the La Marina Project) in Macau which is available for sale and is expected to make an important contribution to the Group's results in the short term as stated in the 2019 Annual Report; (ii) the number of residential units sold and average selling price of residential units in Macau contracted in 2019 and 2020; and (iii) while it takes time for the market to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, JLL expects that the residential sales transaction volume in Macau will remain stable in 2021, we consider that the growth potential of the Group's Property Business in Macau may be limited in the short term.

As regards the Group's property investment business, the average occupancy rates of the retail and office portions of The Macau Square reached 98% and 88% in 2020, respectively. Given (i) the high occupancy rate of The Macau Square in general; (ii) the lack of new investment properties in the coming years; (iii) the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the rental values for the overall office and retail markets in Macau in 2020; (iv) JLL expected the retail rents will face pressure in the short term given the current high vacancy rate and future supply of retail properties in Macau; and

  1. the rental income generated from the Group's investment properties in Macau is expected to remain stable in 2021 as stated in the 2020 Annual Results, we consider that the growth of the Group's property investment business may be limited in the near term.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the site drainage work of the Zhongshan Project was completed and the overall planning and design work was underway. No planning or other regulatory consent has been obtained for the Zhongshan Project and its detailed development schemes are yet to be approved and finalized. Given the Zhongshan Project is in the initial stage of development, its impact on the financial performance of the Group is uncertain in the medium to longer term.

4. Reasons for and benefits of the Proposal

As set out in the Explanatory Statement, the Proposal represents an opportunity for the Scheme

Shareholders to realize their investments in the Shares for cash at a significant premium over the prevailing market prices prior to the publication of the Announcement without having to suffer any illiquidity discount.

The premiums of the Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share over the closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day and the averages of the closing prices of the Shares for 10, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day are significant, in the range of approximately 61.29% to 105.82%, as set out in the section headed "7. Evaluation of the Cancellation Price - (a) Share price performance" below. The Cancellation Price represents premiums of approximately 158.62% and 29.31% over the lowest and highest closing prices of the Shares during the three-year period up to and including the Last Trading Day, respectively. Driven by the Announcement, the Share price surged by approximately 55.9% from HK$0.93 on the Last Trading Day to HK$1.45 on 22 January 2021, being the first trading day following the publication of the Announcement and closed at HK$1.47 as at the Latest Practicable Date.

PART VI

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

It was stated in the Explanatory Statement that the liquidity of the Shares has been at a relatively low level over a long period of time. During the one-year period up to and including the Last Trading Day, the average daily trading volume of the Shares was approximately 1,443,000 Shares, representing only approximately 0.03% of the issued Shares on the Last Trading Day. Given the thin liquidity of the Shares as illustrated in our analysis set out in the section headed "6. Trading volume of the Shares" below, we concur with the Directors that the Proposal allows the Scheme Shareholders to dispose of their Shares, particularly for those Scheme Shareholders holding a significant number of Shares, without having to suffer significant illiquidity discount or adversely affecting the market prices of the Shares.

Moreover, as disclosed in the Explanatory Statement, with the Proposal being implemented, the Group is no longer required to incur administrative, compliance and other listing-related costs and expenses for maintaining the Company's listing status which the Directors consider not justified given that the Company has not in the past 14 years conducted any equity fund raising activities, being the primary benefits of a listing status.

Furthermore, through the implementation of the Proposal, the Group will be in a better position to implement its business strategies more efficiently and effectively as a private entity so as to achieve cost savings, for example through resources sharing with the Offeror as stated in the Explanatory Statement.

Based on the aforesaid, we concur with the Directors that (i) the Proposal provides an opportunity for the Scheme Shareholders to dispose of their Shares at a price significantly above the then market prices prior to the issue of the Announcement; (ii) the prevailing Share prices subsequent to the publication of the Announcement may not be sustainable if the Scheme is not approved or otherwise lapses; and (iii) the Proposal allows the Group to

  1. reallocate the resources, which would otherwise be utilized as administrative, compliance and other listing-related costs and expenses for maintaining the listing status of the Company, to the business development of the Group; and (b) execute its strategies more efficiently and effectively as a private entity under the current business environment.

5. Valuation of the property interests and the adjusted NAV of the Group

  1. Valuation of the property interests
    The valuation of the Group's property interests in (i) Macau and the PRC; and (ii) Hong Kong as at 31 January 2021 was conducted by Cushman & Wakefield and Vigers (the "Valuer(s)"), respectively, each of which an independent valuer.
    We have conducted an interview with each of the Valuers to enquire its experience in valuing similar property interests in Macau, the PRC and/or Hong Kong and its independence. We have also reviewed the terms of engagement of the Valuers, in particular to their scope of work. We noted that the scope of work of the Valuers is appropriate to form the opinion required to be given and there are no limitations on the scope of work which might adversely impact on the degree of assurance given by the Valuers in the valuation reports set out in Appendix III and IV to this Scheme Document (the "Valuation Reports").

    In valuing the Group's interest in the La Marina Project, the Valuer has adopted the market comparison method (the "Market Comparison Method") by making reference to comparable sales evidences as available in the market subject to appropriate adjustments including but not limited to time, location and physical characteristics between the subject properties and the comparable properties, or where appropriate, the investment method (the "Investment Method") by considering the capitalized rental derived from existing tenancies with due provision of the reversionary rental potential.

  1. Investment properties, representing the Group's interest in The Macau Square, were valued at approximately HK$1.7 billion as at 31 January 2021, accounting for approximately 21.4% of the
    Appraised Value. These properties were valued using the Investment Method.
  2. Properties held for future development represent the Group's interest in the Zhongshan Project and were valued at approximately RMB2.6 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$3.1 billion) as at 31 January 2021, accounting for approximately 39.9% of the Appraised Value.
    In arriving at the valuation of the properties, the Valuer has adopted the Market Comparison Method assuming sale with the benefit of vacant possession and by making reference to comparable land sales evidence in Zhongshan with due adjustments made to reflect factors including but not limited to time, location, age and other characteristics between the subject properties and the comparable land.
  3. It represents the Group's self-owned ice making factories and cold storages located at Yau Tong, Tai
    Po, Aberdeen and Tuen Mun in Hong Kong, which were valued at approximately HK$338.5 million in aggregate as at 31 January 2021, accounting for approximately 4.4% of the Appraised Value.
    These properties were valued by the Market Comparison Method with reference to comparable transactions of industrial units in the locality subject to appropriate adjustments including but not limited to location, size, time of transaction, age and the peculiarity of the properties in terms of their uniqueness, restriction on uses under the government lease and sea fronting.
  4. Properties held for sale, comprising commercial and residential properties held for sales, were valued at approximately HK$298.7 million in aggregate as at 31 January 2021, representing approximately 3.8% of the Appraised Value. The Valuers valued these properties by adopting the
    Market Comparison Method.

As stated in the Valuation Reports, the valuation is conducted in compliance with the standards and guidelines set out in the HKIS Valuation Standards 2020 published by the Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors, Rule 11 of the Takeovers Code and Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Listing Rules. We have reviewed and discussed the property valuation with the Valuers regarding the methodology, basis and assumptions adopted in arriving at the values of the property interests. In particular, we have discussed with the Valuers to assess whether the approaches are appropriate for each type of properties stated above. We have also reviewed the valuation methodologies adopted for different types of properties of certain property companies and noted that the methodologies adopted in the Valuation Reports are usual. Taking into account the nature of the properties and that the valuation is conducted in accordance with the aforesaid requirements, we consider that the methodologies and basis adopted by the Valuers for determining the values of the property interests are appropriate.

  1. Adjusted NAV of the Group
    Some of the Group's property interests (including its property, plant and equipment, inventories and interest in the Zhongshan Project held by a joint venture) were stated at cost basis in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards. We consider that the appraised value of all property interests held by the Group is more appropriate in assessing the net asset backing of the Group. For this purpose, we have reviewed the adjusted NAV of the Group (the "Adjusted NAV"), based on the audited equity attributable to the Shareholders as at 31 December 2020 and the adjustments set out in
    Appendix I to this Scheme Document and the table below, including the net revaluation surplus arising from property valuation, net of estimated deferred tax:

  1. Represents the net revaluation surplus (the "Revaluation Surplus") arising from the net excess of the market value of the property interests held by the Group (including joint ventures) in existing state attributable to the Group as at 31 January 2021, as appraised by the Valuers, over their corresponding book values attributable to the Shareholders as at 31 December 2020, after adjusting for relevant interests not attributable to the Group.
  2. Represents net deferred tax (the "Deferred Tax") on temporary differences between the market values of the property interests and the corresponding tax base used in computation of taxable profit.
    Deferred Tax is only determined for the surplus or deficit of completed properties for sales and properties held for future development. Deferred tax is calculated at tax rates of 12% for Macau corporate tax and 25% for PRC corporate income tax, while land appreciation tax is estimated at progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% of appreciation value with certain allowable deductions according to the relevant PRC tax laws and regulations.
  3. Based on 4,438,967,838 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As shown above, the Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share represents a discount of approximately 54.61% to the Adjusted NAV of approximately HK$3.3049 per Share. We have reviewed the computation of the Adjusted NAV per Share prepared by the management of the Group and discussed the computation in respect of the Revaluation Surplus and the Deferred Tax with the management of the Group. We therefore consider that the calculation of the Adjusted NAV to be appropriate. Further analysis in this regard is set out in the section headed "7. Evaluation of the Cancellation Price - (e) Privatization Precedents" below.

Notes:

  1. Based on the number of total issued Shares as at each month end or the Latest Practicable Date.
  2. Based on the number of Shares held by the public as calculated by deducting the Shares held by the Offeror and the Offeror Concert Parties from the number of total issued Shares as at each month end or the Latest Practicable Date.

As illustrated above, the average daily trading volume of the Shares during the above period ranged from approximately 0.0045% to 0.4959% of the total issued Shares and from approximately 0.0157% to 1.2273% of the issued Shares held by the public. Since the publication of the Announcement, there has been a surge in trading volume of the Shares, reflecting the market reaction to the Proposal and the Offeror's on-market purchase of the Shares. Since 21 January 2021, the date of the Announcement, and up to the Latest Practicable Date, the Offeror has purchased a total of 225,720,000 Shares, representing approximately 5.08% of total Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date.

As illustrated in the above table, the trading of the Shares was not active. Given the thin liquidity of the Shares in general, it may be difficult for the Scheme Shareholders to dispose of a significant number of Shares without exerting downward pressure on the Share prices. The Proposal represents an opportunity for the Scheme Shareholders to exit at the fixed Cancellation Price which is substantially above the market prices prior to the issue of the Announcement.

As shown in chart 1 above, the Shares were traded below the Cancellation Price at all times during the Review Period. Chart 2 above illustrates the performance of the Shares compared to that of the Hang Seng Index. The performance of the Shares generally lagged behind the Hang Seng Index during the Review Period.

From 3 January 2011 to the Last Trading Day (the "Pre-AnnouncementPeriod"), the closing prices of the Shares fluctuated between HK$0.455 and HK$1.41 with an average of approximately HK$0.87. The Share price dropped from HK$1.41 on 19 January 2011 to HK$0.51 on 4 October 2011. It then exhibited an upward trend and reached a high of HK$1.32 on 14 March 2014.

Following the publication of (i) the annual results of the Group for the three years ended 31 December 2015 on 26 March 2014, 18 March 2015 and 23 March 2016, respectively; (ii) the announcement on 23 November 2015 that the Lote P Project could not be completed before the Expiry Date and an application (the "Application") had been made to the Macau Government for an extension of the Expiry Date; and (iii) the announcement on 4 December 2015 that the Macau Government had declined the Application, the Share price decreased from HK$1.31 on 26 March 2014 to HK$0.455 on 29 July 2016.

The Share price was then on an upward trend and reached a high of HK$1.15 on 28 May 2019 subsequent to the announcements of (i) a positive profit alert for the two years ended 31 December 2018 on 12 March 2018 and 28 February 2019, respectively; and (ii) the acquisition of property projects in Zhongshan and Zhuhai on 22 June 2018, notwithstanding the rejection by the Tribunal de Ultima Instancia (the Court of Final Appeal) of Macau of the application made by the Owner for invalidating the decision made by the Chief Executive of Macau to terminate the land concession of the Lote P Project on 23 May 2018.

After the termination of the acquisition of the property project in Zhuhai on 6 January 2020 and the publication of the profit warning announcements on 27 February 2020 and 5 August 2020, the Share price reached a low of HK$0.63 on 2 November 2020 from HK$1.15 on 28 May 2019 before closing at HK$0.93 on the Last Trading Day.

During the Pre-Announcement Period, the Hang Seng Index reached the highest of 33,154 points on 26 January 2018 from 23,436 points on 3 January 2011. The Hang Seng Index was then on a downward trend and dropped to 28,574 points on the Last Trading Day, representing a decrease of approximately 13.8% from the peak. During the Pre-Announcement Period, the Hang Seng Index increased by approximately 21.9% while the closing prices of the Shares decreased by approximately 25.0%.

During the Pre-Announcement Period, the highest closing price of the Shares was HK$1.41 on 19 January 2011 (about ten years ago) which represented a discount of 6.0% to the Cancellation Price. The lowest closing price of the Shares during the Pre- Announcement Period was HK$0.455 on 29 July 2016 which represented a discount of approximately 69.7% to the Cancellation Price.

Immediately after the publication of the Announcement, the Share price rose to HK$1.45 on 22 January 2021, representing an increase of approximately 55.9% from HK$0.93 on the Last Trading Day. From 22 January 2021 to the Latest Practicable Date, the Shares closed between HK$1.45 and HK$1.48, representing discounts between 3.3% and 1.3% to the Cancellation Price. The Shares closed at HK$1.47 as at the Latest Practicable Date.

We are of the view that the aforesaid surge in the Share price was driven by the Announcement, in particular, the Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share. Scheme Shareholders should note that the Shares were closed below the Cancellation Price at all times during the Pre-Announcement Period and the prevailing Share prices may not be sustained if the Scheme is not approved or otherwise lapses.

  1. Comparable Companies
    The Property Business is the primary business of the Group, accounting for approximately 87.9%, 79.9% and 69.6% of total revenue for FY2018, FY2019 and FY2020, respectively. In particular, the La Marina Project, which is located in Macau, contributed approximately 87.9%, 79.4% and 69.6% of total revenue for FY2018, FY2019 and FY2020, respectively.
    Given the Group is primarily engaged in the Property Business and has over 50% of its revenue generated from Macau, in assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the
    Cancellation Price, we have identified an exhaustive list of companies listed on the Stock
    Exchange which (i) are principally engaged in property development and investment; and (ii) generated over 50% of their revenue from Macau in their latest financial year. Based on these criteria, we identified two companies, namely Shun Tak Holdings Limited (stock code: 242) ("Shun Tak") and Emperor International Holdings Limited (stock code: 163) ("Emperor International") (collectively, the "Macau Companies").
    We consider the Macau Companies are analogous to the Company as they are engaged in the same sector as the Group does and have the majority of the revenue derived from Macau.
    Given (i) the small sample size of the Macau Companies identified; and (ii) the Group has property interests in Zhongshan and Hong Kong in addition to Macau, we have further researched, on an exhaustive basis, companies listed on the Stock Exchange which (i) are principally engaged in property development and investment; (ii) have properties interests located in Macau; (iii) generated over 50% of their revenue from Hong Kong, the PRC and/or Macau in their latest financial year; and (iv) have market capitalization within HK$8,000 million as at the Latest Practicable Date, being approximately 200% of the market capitalization of the Company of approximately HK$4,128.2 million on the Last Trading Day. Based on these criteria, we identified three additional companies, namely Tomson Group Limited (stock code: 258) ("Tomson"), CSI Properties Limited (stock code: 497) ("CSI") and Cheuk Nang (Holdings) Limited (stock code: 131) ("Cheuk Nang") (collectively, the "PRC/HK Companies") (together with the Macau Companies, the "Comparable Companies").
    We consider that the Comparable Companies are representative and appropriate for comparison purpose as (i) they are principally engaged in property-related business; (ii) they have property interests located in Macau, being the primary place of operation of the Group; (iii) they have exposure to the markets in Hong Kong and the PRC in terms of revenue contribution or the locations of their property interests whereas the Group also holds property interests in Zhongshan and Hong Kong; and (iv) their sizes are generally comparable to that of the Company in terms of market capitalization.

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

Notes:

  1. Based on (i) the Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share; (ii) 4,438,967,838 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (iii) the profit attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$429.0 million for FY2020.
  2. Based on (i) the Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share; (ii) 4,438,967,838 Shares in issue as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (iii) the equity attributable to the Shareholders of approximately HK$14.2 billion as at 31 December 2020.
  3. Being the sum of bank loans, notes and/or amounts due to related parties less the sum of amount due from related parties and cash and bank balances and divided by total equity attributable to the shareholders.
  4. The companies incurred a net loss for the last twelve months based on the latest published interim and annual reports as at the Latest Practicable Date.

P/E and P/B are the two most commonly used benchmarks in valuing a company. P/E is usually adopted for judging valuations for companies which are profit making. P/B, on the other hand, is typically applied for valuing companies which hold relatively liquid assets on their balance sheets and their book values approximate their fair market values such as property companies and banks. Given (i) interests in property development and cash and bank balances, whose carrying amounts approximate their fair values, constituted over 75% of the Group's total assets as at 31 December 2020; and (ii) the unstable earnings of the Group for the three years ended 31 December 2020, we consider the valuation methodology using P/B is more appropriate in valuing the Group.

The P/B as implied by the Cancellation Price was approximately 0.47 time which was higher than those of the Comparable Companies as at the Latest Practicable Date. The Cancellation Price represents a discount of approximately 53.02% to the audited NAV of the Group per Share as at 31 December 2020, which was lower than those of the Comparable Companies. On the other hand, for general reference only, the P/E as implied by the Cancellation Price was approximately 15.52 times which was lower than those of the Comparable Companies as at the Latest Practicable Date.

  1. Dividend yield
    Based on the interim dividend of HK$0.014 per Share for 2020H1 and the final dividend of HK$0.06 per Share for FY2019, the dividend yields as implied by the closing Share price on the Last Trading Day of HK$0.93 per Share and the Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share were approximately 7.96% and 4.93%, respectively. We have compared the above dividend yields to those of the Comparable Companies as illustrated below:

Note:

The dividend yields are calculated based on the total dividends per share in the preceding twelve months (excluding any special dividend) and the closing share prices of the Comparable Companies on the Last Trading Day.

As shown above, the dividend yields of the Comparable Companies ranged from approximately 2.07% to approximately 7.50%, with an average and median of approximately 4.75% and 4.39%, on the Last Trading Day, respectively. The dividend yields of the Company as implied by the closing Share price on the Last Trading Day was approximately 7.96% which was slightly above the highest of the dividend yields of the Comparable Companies. The dividend yield of the Company as implied by the Cancellation Price was approximately 4.93% which was within the range of those of the Comparable Companies.

If the Scheme becomes effective and the Proposal is implemented, the Scheme Shareholders who place a high priority on dividend income would have the opportunity to re-invest the proceeds in other companies that have similar or higher historical dividend yields.

Notes:

  1. Each period commenced from the time after the Company released its annual or interim results announcement.
  2. Based on the NAV of the Group disclosed in the Company's annual or interim results announcements.

As shown in the table above, the Shares were traded at discounts to the underlying NAV of the Group per Share at all times from 28 March 2018 to the Last Trading Day, being a period of approximately three years, with discounts ranging from approximately 62.52% to approximately 79.69%, indicating that the Shareholders could not realize their investments in the Shares at the entire underlying NAV of the Group per Share on the market.

The approximately 53.02% discount of the Cancellation Price to the audited NAV of the Group per Share of approximately HK$3.1926 as at 31 December 2020 was lower than the historical discounts of the market prices to the NAV of the Group per Share as set out above and those of the Comparable Companies as set out in the section headed "7.

  1. Privatization Precedents
    We have, on an exhaustive basis, reviewed a list of privatization precedents, involving companies listed on the Stock Exchange and engaged in property development and investment, which were announced since 1 January 2011, being approximately 10 years prior to the date of the Announcement, and up to the Latest Practicable Date (the "Privatization Precedents") and successful as identified from the website of the Stock Exchange. Based on the aforesaid criteria, we identified 11 Privatization Precedents.
    Given (i) the Privatization Precedents are selected from a 10-year period of time which is of a reasonable length to obtain a sufficiently sized sample for comparison purpose; and (ii) the listed issuers involved in the Privatization Precedents have engaged in the same sector as the Group does, we consider that the Privatization Precedents are fair, representative and meaningful.
    The table below illustrates (i) the premiums/discounts of the offer/cancellation prices offered by the Privatization Precedents over/to the prevailing share prices prior to the issue of the relevant privatization announcements as well as the NAV and the adjusted
    NAV per share of the Privatization Precedents; and (ii) the P/Es and P/Bs implied by the offer/cancellation prices under the Privatization Precedents:

Notes:

  1. Based on the offer/cancellation prices, the profit attributable to shareholders for the last twelve months prior to the initial announcements of the privatisation proposals and the number of total issued shares as at the latest practicable dates of the respective Privatisation Precedents.
  2. Based on the offer/cancellation prices, the latest available equity attributable to shareholders as extracted from the respective scheme documents or circulars and the number of total issued share as at the latest practicable dates of the respective Privatisation Precedents.

As shown in the table above, all the offer/cancellation prices of the Privatization Precedents represent premiums over the then prevailing market prices of the relevant shares prior to the initial announcements of the privatizations over the periods indicated.

The premiums as represented by the offer/cancellation prices over the closing prices or average closing prices of the Privatization Precedents for (i) the last trading days prior to the issue of the initial announcements of the privatization proposals ranged from approximately 25.4% to 80.0% with an average and median of approximately 40.4% and 36.1%; (ii) 30 trading days prior to initial announcements of the privatization proposals ranged from approximately 33.9% to 119.5% with an average and median of approximately 57.5% and 45.2%; (iii) 90 trading days prior to initial announcements of the privatization proposals ranged from approximately 29.7% to 104.1% with an average and median of approximately 55.0% and 45.9%; and (iv) 180 trading days prior to initial announcements of the privatization proposals ranged from approximately 16.0% to 107.6% with an average and median of approximately 49.7% and 45.2%, respectively.

The premiums as represented by the Cancellation Price were approximately 61.3%, 72.6%, 104.1% and 99.1% over the closing price on the Last Trading Day, and the average closing prices for the periods of 30, 90 and 180 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day, respectively, which are within the ranges of, and higher than the averages and medians of, those of the Privatization Precedents.

The P/E implied by the Cancellation Price of approximately 15.52 times is within the range of those of the Privatization Precedents. The P/B implied by the Cancellation Price of approximately 0.47 time is within the range of those of the Privatization Precedents. In addition, the offer/cancellation prices offered by the Privatization Precedents ranged from a discount of approximately 66.30% to a premium of approximately 101.30% to the NAV per share of the respective companies. The Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share represents a discount of approximately 53.02% to the audited NAV of the Group of approximately HK$3.1926 per Share as at 31 December 2020, which is within the range of those of the Privatization Precedents.

As shown in the table above, other than Goldin Properties, the offer/cancellation prices offered by the Privatization Precedents ranged from a discount of approximately 1.80% to approximately 74.60% to the adjusted NAV per share of the respective companies. The Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share represents a discount of approximately 54.61% to the Adjusted NAV of approximately HK$3.3049 per Share, which is within the range of those of the Privatization Precedents.

It should be noted that Share price is the market consensus of the valuation of the Company. Scheme Shareholders can only realize their investments in the Shares through disposals of the Shares but not by way of disposal of any portion of the underlying net assets of the Group.

we consider that the Cancellation Price is fair and reasonable.

PART VI

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

RECOMMENDATION AND OPINION

In arriving at our recommendation in respect of the Proposal, we have considered the principal factors and reasons as discussed above and in particular the following (which should be read in conjunction with and interpreted in the full context of this letter):

  • the Proposal represents an opportunity for the Scheme Shareholders to realize their investments in the Shares at substantial premiums over the then Share prices prior to the issue of the Announcement without suffering illiquidity discount
    The premiums as represented by the Cancellation Price were approximately 61.3%, 72.6%, 104.1% and 99.1% over the closing price on the Last Trading Day, and the average closing prices for the periods of 30, 90 and 180 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day, respectively.
    The closing price of the Shares on the Last Trading Day was HK$0.93 and surged by approximately 55.9% to HK$1.45 on 22 January 2021, being the first trading day following the issue of the Announcement. Such increase in Share price was driven by the Announcement, in particular, the Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share. From 22 January 2021 to the Latest Practicable Date, the average closing price of the Shares was approximately HK$1.46 per Share. The Share price closed at HK$1.47 as at the Latest Practicable Date.
    The prevailing Share prices may not be sustained if the Scheme is not approved or otherwise lapses.
    The average daily trading volume per month between 1 January 2019 and the Latest Practicable Date ranged from 199,485 Shares to 22,011,407 Shares, representing approximately 0.0157% to 1.2273% of the Shares held by the public, respectively. Given the thin liquidity of the Shares in general, it may be difficult for the Scheme Shareholders to dispose of a significant number of Shares without exerting downward pressure on the Share prices;
  • the operating performance of the Group's property development and investment business in the near term
    The property development and investment business are the major revenue and profit contributors of the Group. Particularly, the La Marina Project, which is the Group's only property development project available for sales in Macau, contributed 100%, 99.4% and 99.9% of the Group's revenue generated from the Property Business for FY2018, FY2019 and FY2020, respectively, and contributed most of the Group's total segment results. Following completion of the La Marina Project in 2017, the Company has currently no property development projects in the pipeline in Macau. Although the Lote P Project will not proceed as a result of the reclamation by the Macau Government without any compensation paid to the
    Owner due to the New Land Law, Polytec Holdings has agreed to provide the Indemnity to the Group which has been accounted for in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. The 2019 Annual Report stated that the income to be received from the Group's interest in the La
    Marina Project is expected to make an important contribution to the Group's results in the next two years. As a result, the financial performance of the Group in the short term will largely hinge on the sales of the La Marina Project.

PART VI

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

The Macau's economy decelerated to 6.5% in 2018 from 10.0% in 2017 and even shrank by 2.6% in 2019. As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, the economic growth of Macau deteriorated in 2020 although the pandemic has been largely under control locally. The 2020 Interim Report stated that the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to last for a period of time and the economy will be unlikely to recover soon.

Total residential sales transaction value in Macau contracted significantly by 26.5% and 15.9% in 2019 and 2020, respectively. According to the News Release issued by JLL, while the uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will gradually disappear, it takes time for the market to recover. JLL expected that the residential sales transaction volume in Macau will remain stable in 2021. We consider that the growth potential of the Group's Property Business, primarily relying on the La Marina Project, may be limited in the short term.

As for the Group's property investment business conducted through its joint venture company, the average occupancy rates of the retail and office portions of The Macau Square reached 98% and 88% in 2020, respectively. Given (a) the high occupancy rate of The Macau Square in general; (b) the lack of new investment properties in the coming years; (c) the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the rental values for the overall office and retail markets in Macau in 2020; (d) JLL expected the retail rents will face pressure in the short term given the current high vacancy rate and future supply of retail properties in Macau; and (e) the rental income generated from the Group's investment properties in Macau is expected to remain stable in 2021 as stated in the 2020 Annual Results, we consider that the growth of the Group's property investment business may be limited in the near term.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the site drainage work of the Zhongshan Project was completed and the overall planning and design work was underway. No planning or other regulatory consent has been obtained for the Zhongshan Project and its detailed development schemes are yet to be approved and finalized. Given the Zhongshan Project is in the initial stage of development, there are uncertainties in the operating performance of the Zhongshan Project in the medium to longer term.

We consider that the outlook for the Group's property development and investment business remain cautious in the short term; and

  • the Cancellation Price is fair and reasonable
    For evaluation of the Cancellation Price, we have taken into consideration of the following:
    1. the closing prices of the Shares were below the Cancellation Price at all times during the
      Review Period of approximately 10 years;
    2. the P/B as implied by the Cancellation Price of approximately 0.47 time was higher than those of the Comparable Companies as at the Latest Practicable Date;
    3. the Cancellation Price represents a discount of approximately 53.02% to the audited NAV of the Group per Share as at 31 December 2020, which was lower than the historical discounts of the market prices of the Shares to the NAV of the Group per Share for the last three years and those of the Comparable Companies;

- 78 -

PART VI

LETTER FROM RAINBOW CAPITAL

  1. the premiums as represented by the Cancellation Price were approximately 61.3%, 72.6%, 104.1% and 99.1% over the closing price on the Last Trading Day, and the average closing prices for the periods of 30, 90 and 180 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day, respectively, which are within the ranges of, and higher than the averages and medians of, those of the Privatization Precedents;
  2. the Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share represents a discount of approximately 53.02% to the audited NAV of the Group of HK$3.1926 per Share as at 31 December 2020, which is within the range of those of the Privatization Precedents; and
  3. the Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share represents a discount of approximately 54.61% to the Adjusted NAV of the Group of approximately HK$3.3049 per Share, which is within the range of the those of the Privatization Precedents.

The Share price is the market consensus of the valuation of the Company. The Scheme Shareholders can only realize their investments in the Shares through disposals of the Shares but not by way of disposal of any portion of the underlying net assets of the Group. It should be noted that the Shares were traded at discounts to the NAV of the Group per Share at all times during the period of about three years prior to the Last Trading Day, with discounts ranging from approximately 62.52% to approximately 79.69%. In other words, the Scheme Shareholders could not realize their investments in the Shares at the entire underlying NAV of the Group per Share on the market.

Based on the above, we consider that the terms of the Proposal are fair and reasonable so far as the Scheme Shareholders are concerned and accordingly advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend the Scheme Shareholders to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the Court Meeting and the EGM to approve and implement the Proposal.

The Scheme Shareholders are reminded that as stated in the "Letter from the Board" in this Scheme Document, the Cancellation Price will not be increased and the Offeror does not reserve the right to do so, and if the Scheme is not approved or otherwise lapses, neither the Offeror nor any person who acted in concert with it in the course of the Proposal (nor any person who is subsequently acting in concert with any of them) may, within 12 months from the date on which the Scheme is not approved or otherwise lapses, announce an offer or possible offer for the Company, except with the consent of the Executive.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

    The total consideration payable to the Scheme Shareholders for the Scheme Shares cancelled and extinguished will be paid by the Offeror in cash.
    The Cancellation Price will not be increased, and the Offeror does not reserve the right to do so.

- 84 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should be aware that the implementation of the Proposal is subject to the Scheme Conditions being fulfilled or waived, as applicable, and thus the Proposal may or may not be implemented and the Scheme may or may not become effective. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company should therefore exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company. Persons who are in doubt as to the action they should take should consult their stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor or other professional advisers.

3. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSAL

The Proposal represents a good opportunity for the Scheme Shareholders to realise their investment with a substantial premium against the backdrop of low liquidity

The Offeror considers that the Proposal will provide the Scheme Shareholders with an opportunity to realise their investment in the Company at a price above the prevailing market price of the Shares.

The Cancellation Price, being HK$1.50 per Scheme Share, represents a premium of approximately 61.29% over the closing price of HK$0.93 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Day. It also represents a premium of approximately 72.55%, 94.23%, 104.14%, 105.82% and 99.12% over the average closing price of approximately HK$0.8693, HK$0.7723, HK$0.7348, HK$0.7288 and HK$0.7533 per Share based on the daily closing prices as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 trading days up to and including the Last Trading Day, respectively.

During the three years up to and including the Last Trading Day, the lowest and highest closing prices per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange were HK$0.58 and HK$1.16, respectively. The Cancellation Price represents a premium of approximately 158.62% to the lowest closing price and a premium of approximately 29.31% to the highest closing price in the above period.

The liquidity of the Shares has been at a relatively low level over a long period of time. For the one year up to and including the Last Trading Day, the average daily trading volume of the Shares was approximately 1,443,000 Shares, representing only approximately 0.03% of the issued Shares as of the Last Trading Day and the average daily turnover was approximately HK$1,043,000. The low trading liquidity of the Shares makes it difficult for Shareholders to execute significant on-market disposals without adversely affecting the market price of the Shares.

The Proposal is intended to provide the Scheme Shareholders with an opportunity to realise their entire investment in the Company for cash at a substantial premium over market prices of the Shares without having to suffer any illiquidity discount.

Costs and expenses of maintaining the Company's listing status

The Company has not in recent years conducted any equity fund raising activities, being primary benefit of a listing status. Continued listing of the Shares is not expected to provide any meaningful benefit to the Company in the near term.

- 85 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The listing of the Company involves administrative, compliance and other listing-related costs and expenses. If the Proposal is successful, these costs and expenses would be eliminated and thus allow the Offeror and the Company to allocate more resources for the development of the business of the Group.

Furthermore, following the implementation of the Proposal, the Company can be relieved from market expectations and share price fluctuation as a publicly listed company. The management of the Company can also utilise the resources which would otherwise go towards administrative, compliance and other listing-related matters of the Company on the business operations of the Group.

The Proposal will enable the Group to execute its strategies more efficiently and effectively

The principal activities of the Group are property investment and development, oil exploration and production, manufacturing of ice, provision of cold storage services and financial investments. In order to achieve long-term commercial development and maintain competitiveness, the Group needs to assess its strategies and implement appropriate changes to its business model if necessary. Following the implementation of the Proposal, the Group will be in a better position to execute its business strategies more efficiently and effectively as a private entity. With the Company becoming an unlisted wholly-owned subsidiary of the Offeror, the Offeror considers that it will help improving the Company's operational efficiency and achieve economies of scale, for example through resources sharing with the Offeror such as sharing of expertise, hence achieving cost savings.

4. TOTAL CONSIDERATION AND FINANCIAL RESOURCES

The Proposal will involve the cancellation and extinguishment of the Scheme Shares at the

Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share cancelled and extinguished. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there are 4,438,967,838 Shares in issue of which the Offeror holds an aggregate of 2,615,636,918 Shares (representing approximately 58.92% of the issued share capital of the Company), and there are 1,823,330,920 Scheme Shares in issue. There are no outstanding options, warrants, derivatives or other relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) issued by the Company that carry a right to subscribe for or which are convertible into Shares.

On the assumption that there will be no change in the shareholding structure of the Company before completion of the Proposal and based on the Cancellation Price of HK$1.50 per Scheme Share and a total of 1,823,330,920 Scheme Shares, the total consideration required for the Scheme is approximately HK$2,735 million. The Offeror intends to finance the implementation of the Scheme through available loan facilities. BOCI, one of the joint financial advisers to the Offeror, is satisfied that sufficient financial resources are available to the Offeror for discharging its obligations in respect of the full implementation of the Scheme.

5. SHAREHOLDING STRUCTURE OF THE COMPANY

At the Court Meeting, Scheme Shareholders present and voting either in person or by proxy, will be entitled to vote their Scheme Shares in favour of the Scheme or against it.

- 95 -

PART VII

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Scheme is conditional upon, amongst other things, approval by a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders representing not less than 75% in value of the Scheme Shares present and voting in person or by proxy at the Court Meeting. In addition, the Scheme must be approved (by way of poll) by Independent Shareholders holding at least 75% of the votes attaching to the Scheme Shares held by Independent Shareholders that are voting either in person or by proxy at the Court Meeting; provided that the number of votes cast (by way of poll) by Independent Shareholders present and voting either in person or by proxy at the Court Meeting against the resolution to approve the Scheme at the Court Meeting is not more than 10% of the votes attaching to all Scheme Shares held by all the Independent Shareholders.

In accordance with the Companies Act, the "75% in value" requirement will be met if the total value of the Shares being voted in favour of the Scheme is at least 75% of the total value of the Shares voted at the Court Meeting. In accordance with the Companies Act, the "majority in number" requirement will be met if the number of the Scheme Shareholders voting in favour of the Scheme exceeds the number of the Scheme Shareholders voting against the Scheme. For the purpose of calculating the "majority in number" requirement, the number of the Scheme Shareholders, present and voting in person or by proxy, will be counted. For the purpose of the Takeovers Code, only the number of Scheme Shares from an Independent Shareholder being so voted will count towards the "75% in value" requirement as Shareholders who are not Independent Shareholders will be required to abstain from voting at the Court Meeting in accordance with the Takeovers Code.

In accordance with the direction from the Grand Court, for the purpose of calculating the "majority in number", HKSCC Nominees Limited shall be permitted to vote once for and once against the Scheme in accordance with the instructions received by it from the Investor Participants and other CCASS Participants. For the purpose of the headcount test, if HKSCC Nominees Limited receives an instruction to vote both for and against the Scheme, it will counted as one Shareholder under "for" and as one shareholder under "against". The number of votes cast in favour of the Scheme and the number of CCASS Participants on whose instructions they are cast and the number of votes cast against the Scheme and the number of CCASS Participants on whose instructions they are cast will be disclosed to the Grand Court and may be taken into account in deciding whether or not the Grand Court should exercise its discretion to sanction the Scheme.

The EGM will be held as soon as after the Court Meeting has been concluded or adjourned for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing resolutions to approve, among other things, the reduction of the number of issued Shares in the share capital of the Company by cancelling and extinguishing all Scheme Shares. All Shareholders will be entitled to attend and vote in person or by proxy on such resolutions at the EGM.

At the EGM, a poll will be taken, and each Shareholder present and voting, either in person or by proxy, will be entitled to vote all of his/her/its Shares in favour of (or against) the special resolutions and/or the ordinary resolution. Alternatively, such Shareholder may vote some of their Shares in favour of the special resolutions and/or the ordinary resolution and any or all of the balance of their Shares against the special resolutions and/or the ordinary resolution (and vice versa). At the relevant EGM, the special and ordinary resolutions will be put to the vote by way of poll as required under Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules.
