The consideration to be payable by the Offeror to the Vendors under the Agreements for each H Share and each Domestic Share is approximately RMB42.8546 (equivalent to HK$51.0569). The Sale Shares represent approximately 71.17% of the entire equity interest in Languang Justbon as at the date of this announcement. Completion of each of the Agreement 2 and the Agreement 3 is conditional upon, among other things, Completion of the Agreement 1. Completion of the Agreement 1 is not conditional upon Completion of any of the Agreement 2 and the Agreement 3.

Immediately upon Completion of the Agreements, Languang Justbon will be owned as to 71.17% by the CGS Group. Languang Justbon will become a subsidiary of CGS and its financial results will be consolidated into the CGS Group's financial statement.

Upon Completion, the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it will own 126,761,860 Shares, comprising 750,000 Domestic Shares and 126,011,860 H Shares, representing approximately 71.17% of the entire equity interest in Languang Justbon as at the date of this announcement.

Under Rule 26.1 of the Takeovers Code, upon Completion, the Offeror will be required to make unconditional mandatory cash offers for all the issued Shares, other than those Shares already owned by or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror and parties acting in concert with it at the time. The Offers, if and when made, will be unconditional in all respects.

The principal terms of the Offers are set out under the section headed "Possible unconditional mandatory cash offers" in this announcement. As at the date of this announcement, there are no outstanding warrants, derivatives or convertibles which may confer any rights to the holder(s) thereof to subscribe for, convert or exchange into Shares.

DESPATCH OF COMPOSITE OFFER DOCUMENT

It is the intention of the Languang Board and the Offeror Board to combine the offer document from the Offeror and the board circular from Languang Justbon in a composite offer document. Pursuant to Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code, within 21 days of the date of this announcement or such later date as the Executive may approve, the Offeror is required to despatch the offer document containing the terms of each of the Offers, the forms of acceptance and transfer of the Offer Shares to the Languang Shareholders.

DELISTING RESOLUTION

The Offeror proposes to delist Languang Justbon from the Stock Exchange and accordingly Languang Justbon has agreed to convene the Languang Shareholders Meeting for the purpose of Independent Languang Shareholders to consider and vote on the Delisting Resolution (among other business). If the Delisting Resolution is approved, it will not become effective until the end of the offer period in respect of the Offers. A circular (which will be combined with the composite offer document) will be sent to Languang Shareholders after the Completion Date setting out the delisting proposal and containing the notice of meeting in relation to the Delisting Resolution.

The Delisting Resolution will be subject to:

(a) the passing by the Independent Languang H Shareholders at the Languang H Share Class Meeting to be convened for the purpose of delisting, provided that:

(i) such approval is given by at least 75% of the votes attaching to the H Shares held by the Independent Languang H Shareholders that are cast either in person or by proxy; and

(ii)the number of votes cast, by way of poll, against the resolution is not more than 10% of the votes attaching to all the H Shares held by the Independent Languang H Shareholders;

(b)the passing by the Independent Languang Shareholders at the Languang General Meeting to be convened for the purpose of delisting, provided that:

(i)such approval is given by at least 75% of the votes attaching to the Shares held by the Independent Languang Shareholders that are cast either in person or by proxy; and

(ii) the number of votes cast, by way of poll, against the resolution is not more than 10% of the votes attaching to all the Shares held by the Independent Languang Shareholders;

(c) the Offeror having received valid acceptances amounting to 90% of the H Shares held by Independent Languang H Shareholders required under Note (iii) to Rule 2.2 of the Takeovers Code given Languang Justbon is established in the PRC where it does not afford compulsory acquisition rights to the Offeror as offeror.

RESUMPTION OF TRADING

At the request of Languang Justbon, trading in the H Shares on the Stock Exchange was halted with effect from 1:00 p.m. on 17 March 2021 pending the release of this announcement. Application has been made to the Stock Exchange for the resumption of trading of the H Shares on the Stock Exchange with effect from 9: 00 a.m. on 23 March 2021.

Independent Languang H Shareholders are reminded that if they do not accept the H Share Offer and the H Shares are delisted from the Stock Exchange, subject to the satisfaction of the requirements as set out above for the Delisting Resolution in accordance with Rule 2.2 of the Takeovers Code and the satisfaction of all other Listing Rule requirements, this will result in the Independent Languang H Shareholders holding securities that are not listed on the Stock Exchange and the liquidity of the H Shares may be severely reduced. In addition, Languang Justbon may not continue to be subject to the requirements under the Listing Rules after the completion of the Offers.

Independent Languang Shareholders should also note that if they do not agree to the proposal relating to the Delisting Resolution, they can vote against the Delisting Resolution at the Languang Shareholders Meetings. If more than 10% of the votes attaching to the H Shares held by Independent Languang H Shareholders and/or more than 10% of the votes attaching to the Shares held by the Independent Languang Shareholders voted against the Delisting Resolution, Languang Justbon would remain listed on the Stock Exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, the Offers are not conditional on the approval of the Delisting Resolution. However, if the Delisting Resolution is approved and the Delisting Acceptance Condition is satisfied, Independent Languang Shareholders will be entitled to the Enhanced Share Offer Price should they accept the Offers.

DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION FOR CGS - LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As certain applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Acquisition and the Offers are more than 5% but all of them are less than 25%, the Acquisition and the Offers constitute a discloseable transaction of CGS under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

WARNING: The Offers are possibilities only. Completion is conditional upon the fulfilment or waiver (where applicable) of certain conditions under each of the Agreements and the Offers will only be made if Completion takes place. Accordingly, the Agreements may or may not be completed and the Offers may or may not proceed. CGS Shareholders, Languang Shareholders and potential investors of CGS and Languang Justbon are therefore advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of CGS and Languang Justbon.

Notice to the H Shareholders in the United States

The H Share Offer is subject to Hong Kong disclosure and procedural requirements, including with respect to offer timetable, settlement procedures, timing of payments and withdrawal rights, which are different from those applicable to tender offers carried out in the United States. In the absence of a relevant exemption under the laws of the United States, the H Share Offer may not be available to persons who are in the United States. Even where an exemption is available, persons in the United States are urged, before accepting the H Share Offer, to consult their own professional advisers regarding the tax consequences of acceptance of the H Share Offer, whether in relation to United States federal income tax or taxes under applicable state and local tax laws, or foreign tax laws.

The financial information of Languang Justbon has been extracted from the audited financial statements of Languang Justbon for the three years ended 31 December 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with the Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards, which may not be wholly comparable to financial information of United States companies or companies whose financial statements are solely prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

Languang Justbon is incorporated under the laws of the PRC. It may be difficult for H Shareholders in the United States to enforce their rights and claims arising out of United States federal securities laws, since Languang Justbon is located in a country other than the United States, some or all of its officers and directors may be residents of a country other than the United States and the assets of Languang Justbon may be located outside the United States. H Shareholders in the United States may not be able to sue a non-United States company or its officers or directors in a non-United States court for violations of United States securities laws. It may be difficult for such H Shareholders to effect service of process within the United States upon Languang Justbon or its officers or directors or to enforce against them any judgment of a United States court predicated upon the federal or state securities laws of the United States. In particular, H Shareholders in the United States should note that the Offeror reserves the right itself or through affiliates or nominees or its brokers acting as agents from time to time making purchases of, or arrangements to purchase H Shares outside of the United States whether in open market or by private transaction during the offer period of the H Share Offer other than pursuant to the H Share Offer to the extent permitted by and in accordance with the requirements of the Takeovers Code. Information about such purchases will be reported to the SFC in accordance with the requirements of the Takeovers Code and will be available on the website of the SFC athttp://www.sfc.hk/.

Pursuant to the Agreement 1, the Offeror has conditionally agreed to purchase and Vendor 1 has conditionally agreed to sell the Sale Shares 1, representing approximately 65.04% of the entire equity interest in Languang Justbon as at the date of this announcement, free from any encumbrance and together with all rights, interests and obligations derived therefrom on the Completion Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Offeror shall be entitled to any dividends/profits attributable to the equity holders in respect of the Sale Shares 1 during the period from 1 January 2021 up to the Completion Date.

Consideration for the Sale Shares 1

On 15 to 16 March 2021, a deposit (without interests) equivalent to the amount of RMB1,985,670,000.00 (the "Deposit") (comprising RMB500,000,000.00 and HK$1,774,633,586.97 based on the exchange rate as quoted by PBOC on the date of the Supplemental MOU (i.e. 11 March 2021)) was paid in cash by the Offeror (for the HK$ portion) and CG Life Services (for the RMB portion) to Vendor 1; and Vendor 1 executed the Share Charge in favour of CG Life Services pursuant to the Supplemental MOU.

If SAFE and/or CSDCC allow direct deduction of the Deposit from the total consideration, the Deposit will be used to satisfy part of the total consideration for the Sale Shares 1 directly, the Share Charge shall be released and discharged and the Offeror shall pay the remaining balance of the consideration in HK$3,542,549,941.28 in cash to Vendor 1 on the Completion Date.

If Completion does not occur or the Agreement 1 is terminated because of any reason not attributable to the default of the Offeror, Vendor 1 will need to pay an additional indemnity amount up to 30% of the total consideration for the Sale Shares 1 to the Offeror. In the event that the Deposit has to be returned to the Offeror (i.e. if SAFE and/ or CSDCC do not allow direct deduction of the Deposit from consideration) but Vendor 1 fails to return the Deposit to the Offeror within 90 days of the date of the Agreement 1, the Agreement 1 will automatically lapse and Vendor 1 will still need to pay an additional indemnity amount up to 30% of the total consideration for the Sale Shares 1. If the Offeror fails to (i) pay the total consideration (in the case if the Deposit has to be returned to the Offeror); or (ii) pay the remaining balance of the consideration (in the case if the Deposit is used to settle part of the consideration) to Vendor 1 under the Agreement 1, the Offeror will need to pay an additional indemnity amount up to 30% of the total consideration for the Sale Shares 1 to Vendor 1.

In the event that the despatch of the composite document to overseas Languang Shareholders is prohibited by any relevant law or may only be effected after compliance with conditions or requirements that are unduly burdensome, subject to the Executive's consent, the composite document may not be despatched to such overseas Shareholders.

In the event of the Delisting Resolution being approved and the Delisting Acceptance Condition being satisfied, (i) for the Independent Languang Shareholders whose tendered Shares having been accepted by the Offeror, the Enhanced Consideration (after deducting stamp duty) shall be posted by cheque (for the Offer H Shares) and by wire transfer (for the Offer Domestic Shares) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 7 Hong Kong business days (as defined in the Takeovers Code) of the Delisting Acceptance Condition being satisfied; and (ii) for such Independent Languang Shareholders who have not tendered their Shares for acceptance before the date on which the Delisting Acceptance Condition is satisfied, the Enhanced Share Offer Price (after deducting stamp duty) will be posted by cheque (for the Offer H Shares) and by wire transfer (for the Offer Domestic Shares) as soon as practicable, but in any event within 7 Hong Kong business days (as defined in the Takeovers Code) of the date of receipt of the duly completed Form(s) of Acceptance and all relevant documents by the Registrar (for the Offer H Shares) or Languang Justbon (for the Offer Domestic Shares) from the Independent Languang Shareholders accepting the Offers.

Composite offer document

It is the intention of the Languang Board and the Offeror Board to combine the offer document from the Offeror and the board circular from Languang Justbon in a composite offer document. Pursuant to Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code, within 21 days of the date of this announcement or such later date as the Executive may approve, the Offeror is required to despatch the offer document containing the terms of the Offers, the forms of acceptance and transfer of the Offer Shares to the Languang Shareholders.

4. OFFEROR'S INTENTION AND PROPOSALS REGARDING THE LISTING STATUS OF LANGUANG JUSTBON

DELISTING RESOLUTION

The Offeror proposes to delist Languang Justbon from the Stock Exchange and accordingly Languang Justbon has agreed to convene the Languang Shareholders Meeting for the purpose of Independent Languang Shareholders to consider and vote on the Delisting Resolution (among other business). If the Delisting Resolution is approved, it will not become effective until the end of the offer period in respect of the Offers. A circular (which will be combined with the composite offer document) will be sent to Languang Shareholders after the Completion Date setting out the delisting proposal and containing the notice of meeting in relation to the Delisting Resolution.

The Offeror, their respective associates and parties acting in concert with it shall abstain from voting on the Delisting Resolution.

Independent Languang H Shareholders are reminded that if they do not accept the H Share Offer and the H Shares are delisted from the Stock Exchange, subject to the satisfaction of the requirements as set out above for the Delisting Resolution in accordance with Rule 2.2 of the Takeovers Code and the satisfaction of all other Listing Rule requirements, this will result in the Independent Languang H Shareholders holding securities that are not listed on the Stock Exchange and the liquidity of the H Shares may be severely reduced. In addition, Languang Justbon may not continue to be subject to the requirements under the Listing Rules after the completion of the Offers.

Independent Languang Shareholders should also note that if they do not agree to the proposal relating to the Delisting Resolution, they can vote against the Delisting Resolution at the Languang Shareholders Meetings. If more than 10% of the votes attaching to the H Shares held by Independent Languang H Shareholders and/or more than 10% of the votes attaching to the Shares held by the Independent Languang Shareholders voted against the Delisting Resolution, Languang Justbon would remain listed on the Stock Exchange. For the avoidance of doubt, the Offers are not conditional on the approval of the Delisting Resolution. However, if the Delisting Resolution is approved and the Delisting Acceptance Condition is satisfied, Independent Languang Shareholders will be entitled to the Enhanced Share Offer Price should they accept the Offers.

LANGUANG SHAREHOLDERS MEETINGS TO BE CONVENED

The Languang Shareholders Meetings shall be convened for Independent Languang Shareholders to consider and vote on the Delisting Resolution, for the purposes of Listing Rule 6.12 and all other purposes.

The Delisting Resolution will be subject to:

(a) the passing by the Independent Languang H Shareholders at the Languang H Share Class Meeting to be convened for the purpose of delisting, provided that:

(i) such approval is given by at least 75% of the votes attaching to the H Shares held by the Independent Languang H Shareholders that are cast either in person or by proxy; and

(ii)the number of votes cast, by way of poll, against the resolution is not more than 10% of the votes attaching to all the H Shares held by the Independent Languang H

Shareholders;

(b) the passing by the Independent Languang Shareholders at the Languang General Meeting to be convened for the purpose of delisting, provided that:

(i) such approval is given by at least 75% of the votes attaching to the Shares held by the Independent Languang Shareholders that are cast either in person or by proxy; and

(ii)the number of votes cast, by way of poll, against the resolution is not more than 10% of the votes attaching to all the Shares held by the Independent Languang Shareholders; and

(c)the Offeror having received valid acceptances amounting to 90% of the H Shares held by Independent Languang H Shareholders required under Note (iii) to Rule 2.2 of the Takeovers Code given Languang Justbon is established in the PRC where it does not afford compulsory acquisition rights to the Offeror as offeror.

As described above, the Offeror proposes to delist Languang Justbon, subject to the satisfaction of the requirements as set out above for the Delisting Resolution in accordance with Rule 2.2 of the Takeovers Code and the satisfaction of all other Listing Rule requirements.

In the event that the Delisting Resolution is not approved, or, if approved, the Delisting Acceptance Condition is not satisfied and the public float of Languang Justbon falls below 25% following the close of the H Share Offer, the Offeror and Languang Justbon will undertake to the Stock Exchange to take appropriate steps to ensure that a sufficient public float exists for the H Shares following the close of the H Share Offer.

If, upon closing of the H Share Offer, less than the minimum prescribed percentage applicable to Languang Justbon, being 25% of the H Shares, are held by the public or if the Stock Exchange believes that (i) a false market exists or may exist in the trading of the H Shares; or (ii) there are insufficient H Shares in public hands to maintain an orderly market, the Stock Exchange will consider exercising its discretion to suspend trading in the H Shares until the prescribed level of public float is restored.

5. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE OFFER

For the Languang Shareholders: an opportunity to realize their investment at a compelling premium

(a) Monetize investments with limited liquidity

The Offeror notes that the trading liquidity of the Shares has been at a low level for a sustained period.

1.

The average daily trading volume of the Shares for the three months up to and including the Last Full Trading Day was approximately 0.84 million Shares per day, representing only approximately 0.47% of the issued Shares as at the Last Full Trading Day.

2.

The average daily trading volume of the Shares since IPO and leading up to and including the Last Full Trading Day was approximately 0.83 million Shares per day, representing only approximately 0.47% of the issued Shares as at the Last Full Trading Day.

In this regard, the Offeror is of the view that the delisting proposal provides an opportunity for the Languang Shareholders to realize their holdings of the Shares with limited liquidity in return for cash.

  • (b) Unlock value at a premium

    Languang Justbon's share price has been underperforming the market:

    • 1. Since its IPO on 18 October 2019, share price of Languang Justbon has experienced a 8.46% drop from listing date to 22 February 2021 (the day before the date of the First Rule 3.7 Announcement), compared to the Hang Seng Index which has recorded a 13.47% increase during the same period

    • 2. Since 21 February 2020, share price of Languang Justbon has experienced a 27.06% drop from HK$53.40 to HK$38.95 on 22 February 2021 (the day before the date of the First Rule 3.7 Announcement), compared to the Hang Seng Index which has recorded a 11.03% increase during the same period.

    Considering the share price performance since its IPO and the potential challenges the business is facing, the Offeror believes that the delisting proposal provides the Languang Shareholders with an opportunity to realize their investment in Languang Justbon at a compelling premium over the current market price of the Shares. The Base Share Offer Price of HK$51.0571 per Share represents a premium of approximately 31.08% and 37.99% over the closing price of HK$38.95 on 22 February 2021 (the day before the date of the First Rule 3.7 Announcement) and the average closing price of HK$37.00 for the 30 trading days up to and including 22 February 2021 respectively. In addition, when the Delisting Resolution is approved and the Delisting Acceptance Condition is satisfied, all Independent Languang Shareholders will be entitled to an Enhanced Share Offer Price of HK$54.3000 per share, which represents a higher premium at 39.41% and 46.76% over the closing price on 22 February 2021 and the average closing price for the 30 trading days up to and including 22 February 2021 respectively.

  • (c) Realize gains given low likelihood of an alternative general offer

    An alternative general offer for the H Shares and Domestic Shares is unlikely. From the Completion Date, the Offeror will hold 71.17% of the entire issued share capital of Languang Justbon. With effect from the Completion Date, it is unlikely that the holders of Offer Shares will receive any general offers from third parties to acquire the H Shares and Domestic Shares, without the approval of the Offeror.

7. DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION FOR CGS

Reasons for and benefits of the Acquisition and the Offers

Languang Justbon is a leading property management service provider in Southwest China and Sichuan Province in the PRC. Languang Justbon had its shares listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange on 18 October 2019, and is the first property management enterprise from Western China being listed in Hong Kong. In 2020, Languang Justbon was ranked first among the Top 100 Property Management Companies in China in terms of gross floor area under management in Sichuan Province. In 2020, Languang Justbon was also ranked 11th among the Top 100 Property Management Companies in China with a brand value of approximately RMB7.002 billion. As at 31 December 2020, the Languang Group had a total gross floor area under management of approximately 129.9 million square meters. The Languang Group is primarily engaged in the provision of property management services, consultancy services and community value-added services in the PRC.

The Acquisition will complement the CGS Group's business by providing a regional advantage to the CGS Group, expanding the scale and coverage of the CGS Group's business, improving the CGS Group's economies of scale in the region and facilitating the development of the CGS Group's community value-added services and other services. This will also enhance the CGS Group's influence and competitiveness in the market and contribute to the CGS Group's stable long-term development. CGS will fund the Acquisition and the Offers by internal financial resources.

Given the Agreements were arrived at after arm's length negotiation, the CGS Directors, including independent non-executive CGS Directors, are of the view that the terms of the Acquisition are fair and reasonable and in the interests of CGS and the CGS Shareholders as a whole. As no CGS Directors have a material interest in the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder, none of the CGS Directors are required to abstain from voting on the relevant board resolutions approving the Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

Discloseable transaction for CGS - Listing Rules Implications

As certain applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Acquisition and the Offers are more than 5% but all of them are less than 25%, the Acquisition and the Offers constitute a discloseable transaction of CGS under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

  • 8. DISCLOSURE OF DEALINGS

    In accordance with Rule 3.8 of the Takeovers Code, associates of the Offeror, CGS and Languang Justbon, including persons who own or control 5% or more of any class of relevant securities (as defined in Note 4 to Rule 22 of the Takeovers Code) of the Offeror, CGS or Languang Justbon, are hereby reminded to disclose their dealings in the relevant securities of Languang Justbon pursuant to the Takeovers Code.

    "Responsibilities of stockbrokers, banks and other intermediaries

    Stockbrokers, banks and others who deal in relevant securities on behalf of clients have a general duty to ensure, so far as they are able, that those clients are aware of the disclosure obligations attaching to associates of an offeror or the offeree company and other persons under Rule 22 and that those clients are willing to comply with them. Principal traders and dealers who deal directly with investors should, in appropriate cases, likewise draw attention to the relevant Rules. However, this does not apply when the total value of dealings (excluding stamp duty and commission) in any relevant security undertaken for a client during any 7 day period is less than $1 million.

    This dispensation does not alter the obligation of principals, associates and other persons themselves to initiate disclosure of their own dealings, whatever total value is involved.

    Intermediaries are expected to co-operate with the Executive in its dealings enquiries. Therefore, those who deal in relevant securities should appreciate that stockbrokers and other intermediaries will supply the Executive with relevant information as to those dealings, including identities of clients, as part of that co-operation."
