PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FOR THE EGM

In view of the ongoing COVID-19 epidemic and recent requirements for prevention and control of its spread (as per guidelines issued by the Hong Kong government at https://www.chp.gov.hk/en/features/102742.html), the Company will implement necessary preventive measures at the EGM to protect attending Shareholders, proxy and other attendees from the risk of infection, including:

  1. Compulsory body temperature check will be conducted on every Shareholder, proxy and other attendees at the entrance of the EGM venue. Any person with a body temperature of over 37.5 degrees Celsius may be denied entry into the EGM venue or be required to leave the EGM venue.
  2. Attendees are required to prepare his/her own surgical face masks and wear the same inside the EGM venue at all times.
  3. No refreshments will be served.

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

In the interest of all attendees' health and safety, the Company wishes to advise all Shareholders that physical attendance in person at the EGM is not necessary for the purpose of exercising voting rights. As an alternative, by using proxy forms with voting instructions duly completed, Shareholders may appoint the Chairman of the EGM as their proxy to vote on the relevant resolutions at the EGM instead of attending the EGM in person.

The proxy form, which can also be downloaded from the Company's website (www.chinauptown.com.hk), is enclosed to this circular. If you are not a registered Shareholder (i.e., if your Shares are held via banks, brokers, custodians or Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited), you should consult directly with your banks or brokers or custodians (as the case may be) to assist you in the appointment of proxy.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (iv) the letter of advice from Messis Capital to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; (v) the notice of the EGM; and (vi) other information as required under the Listing Rules. The notice of the EGM is enclosed herein as part of this circular.

  1. SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW SHARES BY CONNECTED PERSON UNDER SPECIFIC MANDATE

On 2 September 2020 (after trading hours), the Company and the Subscriber entered into the Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to allot and issue, and the Subscriber has conditionally agreed to subscribe for, the Subscription Shares at the Subscription Price. The material terms of the Subscription Agreement are set out as follows:

Date:

Parties:

(1)

the Company; and

(2)

the Subscriber

As at the Latest Practicable Date, Mr. Liu, who is the 15% shareholder of the Subsidiary, is the sole director and shareholder of the Subscriber. Therefore, the Subscriber is a connected person of the Company at the subsidiary level according to Rule 14A.07(1) of the Listing Rules.

The Company has no intention or plan of changing the Company's existing principal businesses or the composition of the Board after completion of the Subscription.

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Subscription Shares

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Subscription Agreement, the Company conditionally agrees to issue, and the Subscriber agrees to, subject to fulfilment of the Conditions, subscribe, the Subscription Shares at the Subscription Price each.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Subscription Shares consist of 720,000,000 new Existing Shares. The number of Subscription Shares is determined by the Company and the Subscriber after arm's length negotiations and taking into account the funding required by the Group as general expenditure of the Company's operation (general working capital) and property business development in Maoming, as disclosed under ''Reasons for the Subscription and the Use of Proceeds''. In the event that the Share Consolidation becomes effective prior to the Subscription Completion, the Subscription Shares to be issued by the Company to the Subscriber pursuant to the Subscription Agreement will be 72,000,000 new Consolidated Shares. Assuming that, save and except for the Share Consolidation, there will be no change in the issued share capital of the Company between the Latest Practicable Date and the date of Subscription Completion, the Subscription Shares represent approximately (i) 39.46% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date; and (ii) 28.29% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Subscription Shares. The Subscription Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the Specific Mandate.

The Subscription Price

The Subscription Price of HK$0.10 per Subscription Share, in the form of the new Existing Shares represents:

  1. a premium of approximately 47.1% to the closing price of HK$0.068 per Existing Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Last Trading Date;
  2. a premium of approximately 38.1% to the average of the closing price of HK$ $0.0724 per Existing Share quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including the Last Trading Date;
  3. a discount of approximately 73.6% to the Group's audited net asset value per Existing Share of approximately HK$0.38 per Existing Share of the Company as at 31 December 2019 (based on the audited consolidated net asset value attributable to Shareholders as at 31 December 2019, being the date to which the latest audited financial results of the Group were made up);
  4. a discount of approximately 73.6% to the Group's unaudited net asset value per Existing Share of approximately HK$0.38 per Existing Share of the Company as at 30 June 2020 (based on the unaudited consolidated net asset value attributable to Shareholders as at 30 June 2020); and

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. a premium of approximately 47.1% to the closing price of HK$0.068 per Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on the Latest Practicable Date.

In the event that the Share Consolidation becomes effective prior to the Subscription Completion, the Subscription Price will become of HK$1 per Subscription Share, in the form of the new Consolidated Shares. The Subscription Price was negotiated on an arm's length basis between the Company and the Subscriber and was determined with reference to the then prevailing market price of the Shares. The Board noted that the Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 73.6% to the audited net asset value of approximately HK$0.38 per Share of the Company as at 31 December 2019. The Board further noted that during the period from 27 May 2020 (about three months prior to the Last Trading Day) up to the Last Trading Day, the closing price of the Existing Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange have been consistently at a substantial discount to the net asset value per Share, ranging from approximately 76.8% to 85.5%. Further, the Subscription Price is comparatively higher than the prevailing market prices of the Shares as shown above. Accordingly, the Board considers that it would be more appropriate to determine the Subscription Price with reference to the prevailing market prices of the Shares, which reflect the fair market value of the Shares traded on the Stock Exchange, instead of making reference to the net asset value per Share.

Ranking

The Subscription Shares, when issued and fully paid, will rank pari passu in all respects with Shares in issue at the time of allotment and issue of the Subscription Shares.

Conditions Precedent

The Subscription is conditional upon the following Conditions being fulfilled on or before the Subscription Long Stop Date or such later date as the Parties hereto may agree in writing:

  1. the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares; and
  2. the duly passing by the Shareholders of the resolutions for approving at the EGM,
    1. the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and
    2. the grant of Specific Mandate for issuing and allotting the Subscription Shares to the Subscriber.

- 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

For the avoidance of doubt, none of the above Conditions are waivable. If the Conditions as set out above are not fulfilled on or before the Subscription Long Stop Date or the Subscriber fails to pay the Deposit, the Subscription Agreement shall lapse and neither party shall be bound to proceed with the Subscription and from such date have no effect and no party shall have any liability under them (without prejudice to the rights of any of the parties in respect of claim arising out of any antecedent breach of the Subscription Agreement). The Subscription Long Stop Date is 31 December 2020 which is 4 months after the date of publication of the Announcement. Based on the current tentative timetable and assuming the timetable will not be changed, the earliest date for the convention of the EGM will be on or about 16 October 2020. The Company then anticipates the time for the fulfillment of all the Conditions might be on or around the end of October 2020. However, the Company is concerned that the COVID-19 outbreak might potentially cause additional time to be required for fulfilling the Conditions, therefore, in order to be prudent, the parties to the Subscription Agreement have agreed to set the Subscription Long Stop Date to 31 December 2020. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Deposit has been received by the Company.

Payment of the Subscription Price

At least seven (7) days prior to the date of the EGM, the Subscriber shall pay the Deposit to the Company as deposit either in Hong Kong dollars, Renminbi, or by both currency in the manner as requested by the Company, which shall contribute as partial payment of the Subscription Price for all of the Subscription Shares upon Completion. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Deposit has been received by the Company. In the event that the Subscription does not proceed, the Deposit will be refundable to the Subscriber within fourteen

  1. days without interests. Upon the Deposit being fully refunded to the Subscriber, no party shall have any liability under the Subscription Agreement thereinafter.

At least one (1) Business Day prior to the Completion, the Subscriber shall pay the total Subscription Price less the Deposit (the ''Remaining Subscription Price'') for all of the Subscription Shares to the Company either in Hong Kong dollars, Renminbi, or by both currency in the manner as requested by the Company.

For avoidance of doubt, if the Deposit and/or the Remaining Subscription Price will be paid fully or partially to the Company by Renminbi, the relevant exchange rate shall be the then prevailing daily exchange rate (central parity rate) published by the People's Bank of China on the date of payment.

Specific Mandate to Issue Subscription Shares

The Subscription Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the Specific Mandate proposed to be sought from the Independent Shareholders at the EGM.

- 13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Application for listing

An application will be made by the Company to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Subscription Shares on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange.

Reasons for the Subscription and the Use of Proceeds

The Company is an investment holding company. The principal activities of the Group are engaged in (i) property development and investment; and (ii) trading of raw sugar.

The net proceeds from the issue of the Subscription Shares, after the deduction of the relevant expenses, will be approximately HK$71,400,000, representing a net issue price of approximately HK$0.10 per Subscription Share or HK$1 in the event that the Share Consolidation becomes effective prior to the Subscription Completion. The Group intends to apply the net proceeds from the issue of the Subscription Shares as follows:

HK$54,400,000

Payment of property project development and construction fee*

approximately

HK$17,000,000

General working capitals

approximately

HK$71,400,000

Total

approximately

  • Payment are for the development and construction fee for property project related to the newly acquired land use rights in Maoming, the PRC. Further details are stated in the circular of the Company dated 24 January 2020 and the announcements dated 28 November 2019, 20 January 2020, 23 January 2020 and 14 May 2020.

The Board has considered other fund-raising alternatives before resolving to the Subscription, including but not limited to bank borrowings and issue of new shares by other means. However, in comparison to the Subscription, bank borrowings would result in additional interest burden and higher gearing ratio of the Group. The Group had approached banks in both the PRC and Hong Kong who were either unable to offer the requested facilities, or had offered high interest rates of around 10%-12%. In relation to the issue of new shares by other means such as rights issue or placing, the Group has discussed with several underwriters and is advised that either it would be difficult for them to place the shares of the Company in the current market conditions or they will charge a high commission of approximately 10% of the total proceeds, which would incur significant costs for the Group. In view of the above, although there will be dilution in the interests of the existing Shareholders after completion of the Subscription, the Board still considers raising funds by way of the Subscription to be more cost effective, efficient and beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole as compared to raising funds by any other means.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Subscriber has operated and invested in various businesses in the PRC which include property construction projects, sales and trading of building materials with major PRC constructors and other private equity investments since 2012. As advised by the Subscriber, these experiences raised his interests in further investments in the PRC property development business. As advised by the Subscriber and Mr. Liu Feng, chairman of the Board, they became acquainted through business gatherings, where the Subscriber learned more about the Group's business, specifically in relation to property development in tier two and tier three cities in Guangdong. The Subscriber became increasingly interested in exploring joint investment opportunities with the Group. As such, the Board invited the Subscriber and another independent third party to form a company, namely Maoming Shang Cheng Real Estate Company Limited*(茂名上誠置業有限公 司), where the Subscriber held 15% equity interest, in order to acquire certain land use rights in Maoming (the ''Land Acquisition''). For further details, please refer to the Company's circular dated 24 January 2020. As disclosed in the Company's interim results announcement dated 28 August 2020 for the six months ended 30 June 2020, the Company's amounts due to non- controlling interests is RMB73,700,000, out of which approximately RMB33,000,000 represents the Subscriber's contribution to the consideration for the Land Acquisition in proportion to his 15% shareholding in the Subsidiary in the form of shareholder's loan which is non-interest bearing and unsecured.

As the Group's major assets are property projects in Maoming and the subscriber has an optimistic view in the potential of the Maoming property market, the Subscriber further approached the Group for share investments, which led to subsequent discussion and agreement on the Subscription. Aside from the Subscriber, the Board had also approached (i) the existing substantial shareholder of the Company, namely China Sugar Holdings Limited; and (ii) a minority shareholder of the Subsidiary, however neither had imminent plan to subscribe for the Company's Shares.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the issue of Subscription Shares can provide the Company with access to additional funds to enhance its working capital and strengthen its capital base and financial position for the future development. The terms of the Subscription Agreement (including the Subscription Price) were arrived at after arm's length negotiations between the Company and the Subscriber, taking into account the market price of the Existing Shares. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Subscription Agreement (including the Subscription Price) are entered into upon normal commercial terms and, based on the prevailing market conditions, that the Subscription Agreement (including the Subscription Price) are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Listing Rules Implications

As Mr. Liu, who is the 15% shareholder of the Subsidiary, is the sole director and shareholder of the Subscriber, the Subscriber is a connected person of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As such, the Subscription constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

- 16 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Directors confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, information and belief after having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholder has a material interest in the Subscription. As such, no Shareholder will abstain from voting on the relevant resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM. No Director is regarded as having a material interest in the Subscription and/or the Share Consolidation, therefore no director was required to abstain from voting for the relevant Board resolutions.

The Independent Board Committee, which comprises all independent non-executive Directors, has been established to advise the Shareholders (i) as to whether the terms of the Subscription (including the Specific Mandate and the transactions contemplated thereunder) are fair and reasonable; (ii) how to vote on the resolutions at the EGM in relation to the Subscription (including the Specific Mandate and the transactions contemplated thereunder); and (iii) whether the Subscription (including the Specific Mandate and the transactions contemplated thereunder) are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Messis Capital has been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Subscription.

  1. PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION

The Board proposes that every ten (10) Existing Shares of HK$0.10 each in the issued and unissued share capital of the Company be consolidated into one (1) Consolidated Share of HK$1 each in the issued and unissued share capital of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, there were 1,824,690,520 Existing Shares of HK$0.10 each in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid. Assuming no further Shares will be issued or repurchased from the Latest Practicable Date up to the date of the EGM, there will be 182,469,052 Consolidated Shares of HK$1 each in issue which are fully paid or credited as fully paid immediately following the Share Consolidation. The authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$300,000,000 divided into 300,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$1 each.

It is proposed that following the Share Consolidation, the Consolidated Shares will continue to be traded in board lots of 4,000 Consolidated Shares. Based on the closing price of HK$0.068 per Share on the Last Trading Day, the value of each board lot of the Consolidated Shares, upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, would be HK$2,720.

Conditions of the Share Consolidation

The implementation of the Share Consolidation is conditional upon:

  1. the passing of the necessary ordinary resolution(s) by the Shareholders at the EGM to approve the Share Consolidation;

- 17 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the Listing Committee granting the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective; and
  2. the compliance with the relevant procedures and requirements under Cayman Islands law (where applicable) and the Listing Rules to effect the Share Consolidation.

Effect of the Share Consolidation

As at the Latest Practicable Date; the authorised share capital of the Company is HK$300,000,000 divided into 3,000,000,000 Existing Shares of HK$0.10 each, of which 1,824,690,520 Existing Shares have been issued and are fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective and on the basis that no further Existing Shares will be allotted, issued or repurchased prior thereto, the authorised share capital of the Company will become HK$300,000,000 divided into 300,000,000 Consolidated Shares of HK$1 each, of which 182,469,052 Consolidated Shares (which are fully paid or credited as fully paid) will be in issue and fully paid or credited as fully paid.

Upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares will rank pari passu in all respects with each other in accordance with the Company's articles of association.

Other than the expenses to be incurred in relation to the Share Consolidation, the implementation thereof will not alter the underlying assets, business operations, management or financial position of the Company or the interests or rights of the Shareholders, save for any fractional Consolidated Shares which may arise.

Listing application

An application will be made to the Listing Committee of the Stock Exchange for the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares in issue and to be issued upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective.

Subject to the granting of the listing of, and permission to deal in, the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective, as well as compliance with the stock admission requirements of the HKSCC, the Consolidated Shares will be accepted as eligible securities by HKSCC for deposit, clearance and settlement in CCASS with effect from the commencement date of dealings in the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange or such other date as determined by HKSCC. Settlement of transactions between participants of the Stock Exchange on any trading day is required to take place in CCASS on the second settlement day thereafter. All activities under CCASS are subject to the General Rules of CCASS and CCASS Operational Procedures in effect from time to time. All necessary arrangements will be made for the Consolidated Shares to be admitted into CCASS. The Share Consolidation will be conducted in accordance with the provisions in the articles of association of the Company.

- 18 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

None of the Existing Shares are listed or dealt in any other stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and at the time of the Share Consolidation becoming effective, the Consolidated Shares in issue will not be listed or dealt in on any stock exchange other than the Stock Exchange, and no such listing or permission to deal is being or is proposed to be sought.

Reasons for the Share Consolidation

Pursuant to Rule 13.64 of the Listing Rules, where the market price of the securities of an issuer approaches the extremities of HK$0.01 or HK$9,995.00, the Stock Exchange reserves the right to require the issuer either to change the trading method or proceed with a consolidation or splitting of securities. In this regard, the Share Consolidation would enable the Company to comply with the trading requirements of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to the ''Guide on Trading Arrangements for Selected Types of Corporate Actions'' issued by the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited on 28 November 2008 and last updated on 28 June 2019, the expected board lot value should be greater than HK$2,000 per board lot taking into account the minimum transaction costs for a securities trade. As at the date of the Announcement, the closing price of each Share was HK$0.068, with a board lot size of 4,000 Shares, the Company is trading under HK$2,000 per board lot. For the purpose of reducing transaction and registration costs incurred by the Shareholders and investors of the Company, the Board proposes the Share Consolidation.

The proposed Share Consolidation will increase the par value of the Existing Shares and decrease the total number of Existing Shares currently in issue. It is expected that the Share Consolidation would bring about a corresponding upward adjustment in the trading price per board lot of the Consolidated Shares on the Stock Exchange. Furthermore, as the theoretical market value of each board lot of the Consolidated Shares upon the Share Consolidation becoming effective will be higher than the market value of each board lot of the Existing Shares, the transaction cost as a proportion of the market value of each board lot will be lower. It is also expected that the liquidity in trading of the Existing Shares will increase accordingly.

As at the Latest Practicable Date;, save and except the Subscription, the Company has no intention to conduct any fundraising activities in the next 12 months. As such, the Board considers that the basis of the Share Consolidation is reasonable and sufficient. Further, as at the Latest Practicable Date, having considered its current plans in relation to all corporate actions for the next 12 months, the Company expresses no intention to carry out any corporate actions in the next 12 months, including share consolidation, share subdivision and change in board lot size, which would offset the effect of the Share Consolidation. As such, the Board is of the view that the Share Consolidation is beneficial to the Company, the Shareholders and investors of the Company as a whole.

- 19 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shareholders and potential investors should be aware of and take note that the Share Consolidation is conditional upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set out in the paragraph headed ''Conditions of the Share Consolidation'' above, and therefore may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares, and if they are in any doubt about their position, they should consult their professional advisers.

Other Arrangements

Adjustments in relation to the other securities of the Company

Share Options

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has outstanding Share Options entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for a total of 64,000,000 Existing Shares. Under the terms and conditions of the Share Option Schemes, the Share Consolidation may lead to adjustments to the number of shares of the Company available for issue under the scheme limit, which has not yet been utilised, of the Share Option Schemes, and/or the exercise price and/or the number of shares of the Company falling to be issued upon the exercise of the Share Options. The Company will make further announcement(s) on such adjustment(s) as and when appropriate.

Save as disclosed above, the Company does not have any other outstanding derivatives, options, warrants, conversion rights, securities in issue, convertible securities or other similar rights which are convertible or exchangeable into, any Existing Shares or Consolidated Shares, as at the Latest Practicable Date;.

Odd lots arrangements and matching services

In order to alleviate the difficulties arising from the existence of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation the Company will appoint Celestial Securities Limited, a securities firm, as an agent to stand in the market to provide matching services for sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares on a best effort basis.

Holders of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares should note that successful matching of the sale and purchase of odd lots of the Consolidated Shares are not warranted. Any Shareholder who is in any doubt about the odd lots arrangements is recommended to consult his/her/its own professional advisers.

The matching period shall commence at 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, 4 November 2020 and end at 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, 24 November 2020. Shareholders who wish to take advantage of this facility should contact Ms. Amy Ng (contact number: 2587 5264) of Celestial Securities Limited at 22/F, Manhattan Place, 23 Wang Tai Road, Kowloon Bay, Hong Kong.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Fractional entitlement to Consolidated Shares

No fractional Consolidated Shares will be issued by the Company to the Shareholders. Any fractional entitlements of Consolidated Shares arising from the Share Consolidation will be aggregated, if possible, sold and retained for the benefit of the Company. Fractional Consolidated Shares will only arise in respect of the entire shareholding of a holder of the Existing Shares regardless of the number of share certificates held by such holder.

Shareholders concerned about losing out on any fractional entitlement are recommended to consult their licensed securities dealer, bank manager, solicitor, professional accountant or other professional adviser and may wish to consider the possibility of buying or selling Existing Shares in a number sufficient to make up an entitlement to receive a whole number of Consolidated Shares.

Exchange of share certificates

Subject to the Share Consolidation having become effective, Shareholders may, during the specified period, submit the existing share certificates for the Existing Shares to the branch share registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Union Registrars Limited, Suites 3301-04, 33/F, Two Chinachem Exchange Square, 338 King's Road, North Point, Hong Kong, in exchange, at the expense of the Company, for new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares.

Thereafter, existing share certificates for Existing Shares will continue to be good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for new share certificates for Consolidated Shares at the expense of the Shareholders on payment of a fee of HK$2.5 (or such higher amount as may be allowed by the Stock Exchange from time to time) for each existing share certificate cancelled or each new share certificate issued for Consolidated Shares (whichever is higher) but are not acceptable for trading, settlement and registration.

The new share certificates for the Consolidated Shares will be issued in blue colour in order to distinguish them from the existing share certificates in red colour.

Subject to the Share Consolidation having become effective, after 4:10 p.m. on Tuesday, 24 November 2020, trading will only be in Consolidated Shares. Existing Share Certificates will then only remain effective as good evidence of legal title and may be exchanged for New Share Certificates at any time, at stated above, but will cease to be valid for delivery, trading and settlement purposes.

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

The following is the full text of the letter from the Independent Financial Adviser which sets out its advice to the Independent Board Committee and the Shareholders for inclusion in this circular.

23 September 2020

To: The Independent Board Committee and the Shareholders

of China Uptown Group Company Limited

Dear Sir/Madam,

SUBSCRIPTION OF NEW SHARES BY CONNECTED PERSON

UNDER SPECIFIC MANDATE

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Shareholders in respect of the subscription of new Shares by connected person under Specific Mandate, details of which are set out in the letter from the Board (the ''Letter from the Board'') contained in the circular of the Company to the Shareholders dated 23 September 2020 (the ''Circular''), of which this letter forms part. Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 2 September 2020.

On 2 September 2020 (after trading hours), the Company and the Subscriber entered into the Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which the Company has conditionally agreed to allot and issue, and the Subscriber has conditionally agreed to subscribe for, the Subscription Shares at the Subscription Price each. The Subscription Shares represent approximately (i) 39.46% of the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement; and (ii) 28.29% of the issued share capital of the Company as enlarged by the Subscription Shares. The Subscription Shares will be allotted and issued pursuant to the Specific Mandate.

The Subscription Shares will be issued under the Specific Mandate, which is subject to the Shareholders' approval at the EGM. As Mr. Liu is interested in 15% of the equity interest in the Subsidiary, and is also the sole director and shareholder of the Subscriber, the Subscriber is a connected person of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As such, the Subscription constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules.

APPENDIX II

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

The Independent Board Committee, which comprises all independent non-executive Directors, has been established to advise the Shareholders (i) as to whether the terms of the Subscription (including the Specific Mandate and the transactions contemplated thereunder) are fair and reasonable; (ii) how to vote on the resolutions at the EGM in relation to the Subscription (including the Specific Mandate and the transactions contemplated thereunder); and (iii) whether the Subscription (including the Specific Mandate and the transactions contemplated thereunder) are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole, after taking into account the recommendations of the Independent Financial Adviser.

We, Messis Capital Limited, have been appointed as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Shareholders as to whether the Subscription (including the Specific Mandate and the transactions contemplated thereunder), are on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

OUR INDEPENDENCE

As at the Latest Practicable Date, we did not have any relationship with or interest in the Company or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. In the last two years, we have not acted as the financial advisor nor the independent financial adviser to the Company and the independent board committee of the Company. Apart from normal professional fees paid or payable to us in connection with the current appointment as the Independent Financial Adviser, no arrangements exist whereby we have received or will receive any fees or benefits from the Company or any other parties that could reasonably be regarded as relevant to our independence. Accordingly, we consider that we are independent pursuant to Rule 13.84 of the Listing Rules.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In formulating our opinion and recommendation, we have relied on all relevant information, opinions and facts supplied and represented by the Company, the Directors and the management of the Company. We have assumed that all such information, opinions, facts and representations contained or referred to in the Circular, for which the Company is fully responsible, were true and accurate in all respects as at the date hereof and may be relied upon. We have no reason to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations provided to us by the Company, and the Company has confirmed that no material facts have been withheld or omitted from the information provided and referred to in the Circular, which would make any statement therein misleading.

Revenue increased significantly from approximately RMB90.3 million for the year ended 31 December 2018 (''FY18'') to approximately RMB804.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2019 (''FY19''), which increased by approximately RMB714.6 million. Revenue from the property development and investment business and the trading of raw cane sugar business increased by approximately RMB666.2 million and RMB48.4 million for FY19 as compared to FY18, respectively. As disclosed in the Annual Report 2019, the Group owns a property development project located in Maoming City (the ''Maoming Project''), Guangdong Province, the PRC. The Maoming Project has developed into a composite of residential and commercial properties in three phases. The increase in revenue for the property development and investment business was mainly due to the delivery and sales recognition of certain properties of phase 3 of the Maoming Project. Profit for the year for FY19 increased to approximately RMB84.4 million, from loss for the year of approximately RMB36.0 million for FY18. The significant increase in profit for the year was mainly due to the increase in revenue from the property development and investment business and the trading of raw cane sugar business.

Current assets decreased from approximately RMB1,427.6 million as at 31 December 2018 to approximately RMB1,078.6 million as at 31 December 2019, which decreased by approximately RMB349.0 million or 24.4%. The decrease was mainly due to the combined effect of (i) a decrease in properties held for sale of approximately RMB504.9 million; and (ii) an increase in deposits, other receivables and prepayments of approximately RMB108.0 million. As disclosed in the Annual Report 2019, the decrease in properties held for sale was mainly due to the delivery of certain properties of phase 3 of the Maoming Project during FY19. The increase in deposits, other receivables and prepayments was mainly due to the increase in deposits paid for acquisition of land use rights of approximately RMB102.5 million in respect of a land parcel in Maoming City.

Current liabilities decreased from approximately RMB886.3 million as at 31 December 2018 to approximately RMB453.9 million, which decreased by approximately RMB432.4 million or 48.8%. The decrease in current liabilities was mainly due to the decrease in contract liabilities as a result of the fall in receipts in advance for sales of properties.

  1. Reasons for the Subscription and the use of proceeds

As stated in the Letter from the Board, the net proceeds from the issue of the Subscription Shares, after the deduction of the relevant expenses, will be approximately HK$71,400,000, representing a net issue price of approximately HK$0.10 per Subscription Share or HK$1 in the event that the Share Consolidation becomes effective prior to the Subscription Completion. Among the net proceeds from the issue of the Subscription Shares, approximately HK$54,400,000 will be applied to the payment of the development and construction for the property project in relation to the newly acquired land use rights in Maoming City, the PRC, and approximately HK$17,000,000 towards the general working capital of the Company. The Directors consider that the issue of Subscription Shares can provide the Company with access to additional funds to enhance its working capital and strengthen its capital base and financial position for the future development.

  1. - 5

APPENDIX II

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

The Group is principally engaged in (i) property development and investment; and (ii) trading of raw cane sugar. The Group's revenue derived from property development and investment amounted to approximately RMB90.3 million and RMB756.5 million, and accounted for approximately 100% and 94% of the Group's total revenue for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019, respectively. As disclosed in the Annual Report 2019, the revenue from property development and investment for the years ended 31 December 2018 and 2019 was mainly derived from an existing property development project located in Maoming City, the PRC, which has been developed into a composite of residential and commercial properties in three phases. Reference is made to the Company's announcement dated 28 November 2019 and 14 May 2020 in relation to the acquisition of land use rights in Maoming City. The subject land has a total site area of 29,274.16 sq.m., and is for residential, retail and commercial uses. The acquisition of the said land was completed on 14 May 2020. As property development is capital intensive, we consider that it is fair and reasonable to allocate majority, which accounted for over 75% of the net proceeds towards the development and construction of the newly acquired land. In addition, as the Group already owned a property development project in Maoming, we consider the experience and knowledge of the Group's management in Maoming would aid the development of the newly acquired land, and it is of the Group's normal commercial practice to develop the said land.

As discussed with the Company, apart from the Subscription, the Company had also considered alternative financing methods including debt financing and other equity financing methods such as rights issue. We note from the Annual Report 2019 that, as at 31 December 2019, the Group had unutilised banking facilities of approximately RMB17.9 million and only utilised approximately RMB1.8 million. As discussed with the Company, the unutilised banking facilities as at 31 December 2019 consist of facilities for the Group's sugar trading business and revolving loans, and the revolving loans had been fully utilised subsequent to 31 December 2019. Therefore, the aforesaid banking facilities are not available for the Group's property development business. As advised by the Company, the Group had also verbally negotiated with banks in both the PRC and Hong Kong for additional loans for the property devolvement business. However, the banks in Hong Kong were not able to offer any facility as the Group's revenue generation is mainly situated in the PRC, and some of the banks in the PRC that are willing to offer facilities to the Group had requested an interest rate of around 10%, which will incur significant finance costs to the Company. We note from the Company's annual report for the year ended 31 December 2017 that the Company had bank borrowings with effective interest rate of 10.5%, and as discussed with the Company, such bank borrowings were construction loans obtained in the PRC. We notice that the effective interest rate of the construction loans of 10.5% approximate to the interest rate quotation provided by the PRC banks. Moreover, these PRC banks also requested the Group's land use right and future properties under development in the PRC as collaterals, and repayment of the loan will be required to discharge such pledges before allowing the pre-sales of the new properties to be developed in Maoming City. Such terms offered by the PRC banks would increase the Group's liquidity risks. In addition, the Company had also considered rights issue as alternative fund raising. However, as advised

  1. - 6

APPENDIX II

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

by the Company, some underwriters advised that it might be difficult to procure subscribers for the Shares and also quoted underwriting commission of approximately 10% of the total proceeds, which is similar to the interest rate offered by the PRC banks. We have reviewed a quotation from an underwriter and noted that the underwriting commission quoted was 10%. Taking into account the alternative funding options for the new property development project available to the Company and the Subscription Price is at a premium to the recent Share price as discussed in the paragraph headed ''2. Principal terms of the Subscription'' below, we consider that though the shareholding of the Shareholders will be diluted, the Subscription is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Based on the above, as property development is capital intensive in nature, we concur with the Company's view that the Subscription can provide the Company with access to additional funds to enhance its working capital and strengthen its capital base and financial position for the future development of its property development business.

Comparison with historical closing prices

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price, we have performed a review on the daily closing prices and trading volume of the Shares from 2 September 2019 to the Last Trading Day (the ''Review Period'') (being a period of approximately 12 months prior to and including the Last Trading Day, which is commonly used for analysis purpose to illustrate the general trend of the closing prices and the level of movement of the Shares) and compared with the Subscription Price.

During the Review Period, the lowest closing price per Share was HK$0.055 recorded on 30 June 2020, while the highest closing price per Share was HK$0.185 on 29 November 2019. The average daily closing price per Share was approximately HK$0.095 per Share. We note that the Subscription Price of HK$0.10 per Share is within the aforementioned range and represents (i) a discount of approximately 45.9% from the highest closing price; (ii) a premium of approximately 81.8% over the lowest closing price; and (iii) a premium of approximately 5.5% from the average daily closing price during the Review Period.

APPENDIX II

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

During the Review Period, the closing price of the Shares generally exhibited a downward trend except for the sudden raise of Share price to HK$0.185 per Share on 29 November 2019. In this regard, we have discussed with the management of the Company regarding the sudden raise of Share price and were advised that, save for the publication of announcement regarding a very substantial acquisition in relation to acquisition of land use rights in Maoming on 28 November 2019, they are not aware of other particular reason that led to the sudden raise of Share price. During the Review Period, the Company also issued several announcements including but not limited to (i) the annual results announcement for FY19 on 31 March 2020; (ii) the announcement regarding the profit warning for the Company's interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2020 on 14 August 2020; and (iii) the interim results announcement for the six months ended 30 June 2020 on 28 August 2020. According to the Directors, they were not aware of any specific events of the Company during the Review Period that led to the decreasing trend of the price of the Shares.

APPENDIX II

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

During the Review Period, the net asset value per Share based on the latest published financial results of the Company at the relevant time were within the range of approximately HK$0.38 to HK$0.39 per Share. The lowest closing price per Share was HK$0.055 recorded on 30 June 2020, while the highest closing price per Share was HK$0.185 on 29 November 2019. The average daily closing price per Share was approximately HK$0.095 per Share. As shown in the above graph, the Shares had always been trading at a discount to the net asset value per Share during the Review Period. For illustrative purpose, the historical closing prices represent a discount of a range of approximately 51% to 86% to the lowest net asset value per Share of approximately HK$0.38 during the Review Period. We consider the Share price during the Review Period reflects the recent valuation of the Company given by the market. Therefore, the Shares being traded at a discount to the net asset value per Share during the Review Period is also a reflection of the market value of the Shares. Moreover, the Subscription Price represents a premium to the closing price per Share for around the half year period immediately before the entering into of the Subscription Agreement. As such, we consider that the Subscription Price, though represents a substantial discount to the net asset value per Existing Share, is fair and reasonable.

Note: The calculation is based on the average daily trading volume of the Shares divided by the total issued share capital of the Company as at the Last Trading Day (i.e. 1,824,690,520 Shares).

From the table above, the average number of Shares traded per trading day in each month during the Review Period as a percentage of the total number of issued Shares ranged from approximately 0.001% to approximately 0.294%, with an average of approximately 0.059%. On this basis, we consider the average daily trading volume of the Shares was relatively thin during the Review Period.

Comparable analysis

We have conducted, to the best of our endeavour, a research of all issue of new shares to connected persons under specific mandate announced by companies listed on the Stock Exchange from 2 March 2020 up to the Last Trading Day, being around six- month period prior to the Last Trading Day (the ''Comparable Issues''). Our research is based on the following criteria: (i) the share subscription constituted a connected transaction; (ii) the purpose of the subject share issuance was not for partial/full settlement of a consideration for a transaction and/or loan capitalisation; (iii) the subscription shares were issued under specific mandate; and (iv) the share issuance are not by listed companies with multiple classes of shares, whose share and capital structure may be different from that of the Company (which only has a single class of shares in trading), as the capital structure of such listed companies comprised of more than one class of shares in trading and the trading price of each class of shares, where applicable, may be materially different from each other from time to time and may affect the trading price of the other class of shares. To the best of our knowledge and as far as we are aware of, we have identified 7 transactions which met the abovementioned criteria and had not lapsed as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Although the Comparable Issues may be different from the Group in terms of scale, business nature, financial position and funding requirements, after having considered (i) all of the issuers among the Comparable Issues and the Company are listed on the Stock Exchange; (ii) the terms of the Comparable Issues were determined under similar market conditions and sentiment; and (iii) including transactions conducted by issuers with different scales in the Comparable Issues can reflect a more comprehensive overall market sentiment in our comparable analysis, we consider that the Comparable Issues can provide a fair and representative sample to be taken as a general reference of the prevailing market practices on the key terms for this type of transaction in Hong Kong. Therefore, we consider that the Comparable Issues are indicative in assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the Subscription Price. The following table sets forth the relevant details of the Comparable Issues:

Notes:

  1. As extracted from the relevant announcements/circulars of the Comparable Issues.
  2. The equity attributable to owners of Hao Tian Development Group Limited was adjusted by the net proceeds from its placing completed on 14 August 2020.
  3. The discount of 85.4% was arrived after adjusting the equity attributable to owners of Gemini Investments (Holdings) Limited by excluding its convertible preference shares reserve.

As shown on the above table, the subscription price of the Comparable Issues as compared with the respective closing price on the last trading day ranged from a discount of approximately 39.1% to a premium of approximately 81.8%, with an average of a discount of approximately 2.0%. We note that the Subscription Price, which is at a premium of approximately 47.1% to the closing price on the Last Trading Day falls within the range of the Comparable Issues and is higher than the average of a discount of approximately 2.0%.

II - 14

APPENDIX II

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

We note that the premium/(discount) to average closing price of the last five trading days prior to date of the subscription agreement represented by the subscription prices of the Comparable Issues ranges from a discount of approximately 41.7% to a premium of approximately 98.0%, with an average figure being a premium of approximately 4.2%. The premium of approximately 38.1% represented by the Subscription Price to the average closing price of the Shares of the last five trading days prior to date of the Subscription Agreement, therefore falls within the range of the premium/(discount) to the average closing price of the last five trading days of the Comparable Issues and is above the average figure thereof.

We also note that the premium/(discount) to average closing price of the last 30 trading days prior to date of the subscription agreement represented by the subscription prices of the Comparable Issues ranges from a discount of approximately 49.2% to a premium of approximately 89.5%, with an average figure being a premium of approximately 9.1%. The premium of approximately 43.5% represented by the Subscription Price to the average closing price of the Shares of the last 30 trading days prior to date of the Subscription Agreement, therefore falls within the range of the premium/(discount) to the average closing price of the last 30 trading days of the Comparable Issues and is above the average figure thereof.

In respect of the percentage of the number of new shares to the number of existing shares of the Comparable Issues, we note that the percentage ranged from 5.1% to 40.6%, and the Subscription Shares represent 39.46% of the issued share capital of the Company, which falls within the range of the Comparable Issues. We also note that the premium/discount of the issue price of new shares to the net asset value per share of the Comparable Issues range from a discount of 85.4% to a premium of 53.6%. The Subscription Price represents a discount of approximately 73.6% to the Group's unaudited net asset value per Existing Share (based on the unaudited consolidated net asset value of the Company as at 31 December 2019 and 30 June 2020), which is within the range of the Comparable Issues. We are of the view that the companies of the Comparable Issues may have different principal business activities, profitability, financial position and funding requirements to the Company, which lead to different fund raising scales and market valuations to their respective net asset values. As such, we consider that the Company's Subscription Shares as a percentage to the number of Existing Shares and the Subscription Price's discount to the net asset value per Excising Share, through fall within the upper end of the Comparable Issues, is in line with the market practice and is fair and reasonable.

II - 15

APPENDIX II

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

Based on the totality of all the factors mentioned above and having considered in particular that:

  1. the premium to the closing price of the last trading day, the average closing price of the last five and 30 consecutive days prior to the date of the Subscription Agreement represented by the Subscription Price are within the respective ranges of Comparable Issues and are above the average thereof;
  2. the Shares had always been trading at a discount to the net asset value per Share during the Review Period, which we consider reflects the valuation of the Shares given by the market;
  3. the Subscription Price is within the range of the lowest and highest closing prices and above the average of closing prices of the Shares as quoted on the Stock Exchange during the Review Period;
  4. the average daily trading volume of the Shares was relatively thin during the Review Period; and
  5. the Subscription Shares as a percentage to the number of Existing Shares and the Subscription Price's discount to the net asset value per Excising Share are within the range of the Comparable Issues,

we are of the view that the Subscription Price is fair and reasonable and the terms of the Subscription are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

4. Financial effects of the Subscription

It should be noted that the below are for illustrative purpose only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Company will be upon the Subscription Completion.

Net assets

As per the Annual Report 2019, the net asset value of the Company as at 31 December 2019 was approximately RMB688.6 million. Upon the Subscription Completion, the net assets of the Group will be enhanced by the net proceeds from the Subscription of approximately HK$71,400,000. As such, the entering into of the Subscription Agreement is expected to have a positive impact on the financial position of the Group.

Working capital

As per the Annual Report 2019, the bank balances and cash of the Group was approximately RMB63.5 million as at 31 December 2019. Upon the Subscription Completion, the Group's cash and liquidity positions will be improved by the net proceeds from the Subscription of approximately HK$71,400,000. Accordingly, the cash and liquidity positions, net current assets and current ratio of the Group are expected to have positive impact upon the Subscription Completion.

Gearing ratio

Upon the Subscription Completion, the Group's total borrowings will remain unchanged while the Group's total assets will be increased by the net proceeds from the Subscription of approximately HK$71,400,000. Therefore, it is expected that the gearing ratio of the Group will be improved.

Considering the effects of the Subscription on the overall financial position of the Company as discussed above, we are of the view that the Subscription is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

APPENDIX II

LETTER FROM MESSIS CAPITAL

Recommendation

Taking into consideration of the above principal factors and reasons, we consider that the entering into the Subscription Agreement was a fund raising activity for the Group's property development business and general working capital, which is in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and we are of the opinion that the terms of the Subscription are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable so far as the Shareholders are concerned and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Shareholders, as well as the Independent Board Committee to advise the Shareholders, to vote in favour of the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
