The properties developed by ZJ Development are closely located to the Lakewood Club. The offering of the 10-year Lakewood Club Weekday Membership, which gives Eligible Property Buyers access to the Lakewood Club and the experience of quality services, might incentivize potential customers into purchasing selected properties from ZJ Development. As such, the Board considers that the Business Co-operation Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder would allow ZJ Sports and ZJ Development (each of which is a subsidiary of the Company) to achieve a win-win situation.
