UPDATE ON THE WINDING UP PETITION AND THE PL APPLICATION AND THEIR IMPACT

Reference is specifically made to the announcements of the Company dated 24 October 2019 and 8 November 2019 in which it was disclosed that the Company had received the Winding Up Petition and the PL Application filed by SDF III Holdings Limited against the Company which were fixed to be heard on 27 November 2019 and 2 December 2019, respectively. The Company wishes to update the Shareholders that the hearing of the Winding Up Petition and the PL Application were heard at the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region on 2 December 2019.

At the hearing, the Company objected to the Winding Up Petition and the PL Application. Following hearing of the submissions of the parties, the High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region made an order that the hearing of the Winding Up Petition and the PL Application be adjourned to 13 March 2020.

Under the terms of US$200,000,000 6.5% senior notes due 2020 (the "Notes") as disclosed in the announcement of the Company dated 8 November 2019, the Winding Up Petition and the PL Application would constitute an event of default under the Notes since they remained undismissed and unstayed upon the expiry of 60 consecutive days, i.e. by 24 November 2019, and they may have a material adverse impact on the financial position of the Group. The Company will vigorously oppose and defend the Winding Up Petition and the PL Application in the hearing scheduled in March 2020.

Further announcement will be made to update the Shareholders on the development of the relevant court proceedings.
