The Company is pleased to announce that, after trading hours of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 31 October 2019, the Company has entered into a supplemental agreement with the relevant Financial Institution for the extension of the repayment term of the Loan and is now awaiting the bank to execute the relevant term extension agreement with similar terms and conditions, details of which are as follows:

  1. As at 20 September 2019, the outstanding principal of the Loan was RMB950 million, with accrued interest of approximately RMB38.3 million and accrued default interest of approximately RMB14.7 million;
  2. Accumulated total repayment of approximately RMB248.8 million shall be made by the Company to the relevant bank to settle a portion of the principal and the then accrued interest of the Loan before 30 June 2020;
  3. Accumulated total repayment of approximately RMB486.8 million shall be made by the Company to the relevant bank to settle a portion of the principal and the then accrued interest of the Loan on 30 June 2021; and
  4. All remaining principal balance and accrued interest of the Loan shall be repaid by the Company to the relevant bank before 30 June 2022, with payment of the default interests of approximately RMB14.7 million before 29 June 2020.

Further, the Company estimated that, as the supplemental agreement for the extension of the repayment term of the Loan has been signed with the Financial Institution and the same would be executed by the relevant bank shortly and based on the outstanding sum of the Loan as at 20 September 2019 and assuming all the required payments are made on the respective due dates, substantial portion of the Loan (including accrued interest) amounted to approximately RMB739.5 million shall be re-classified from current liability to non-current liability in the Company's forthcoming full year financial statements. The Company would like to clarify that as the extension of the repayment term of the Loan was effected after 30 September 2019, the Loan and the relevant interest payables will continue to be classified as current liability in the Company's forthcoming interim financial statements.
