The Company has submitted the PN15 Application in relation to the Proposed Spin-off to the Stock Exchange and the Stock Exchange has confirmed that the Company may proceed with the Proposed Spin-off.— 1 —WAIVER FROM STRICT COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 3(F) OF PRACTICE NOTE 15 OF THE LISTING RULES As there is a PRC legal impediment it is not feasible for the Company to provide its existing Shareholders with an assured entitlement to the Units in the Consumer Infrastructure REIT under the Proposed Spin-off pursuant to paragraph 3(f) of Practice 15 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly the Company has applied for and the Stock Exchange has granted a waiver from strict compliance with the requirement of paragraph 3(f) of Practice Note 15 of the Listing Rules.LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS As at the date of this announcement the Group indirectly holds the entire interest in the Project. Upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off the Company’s indirect interest in the Project will be reduced to 40%. As such the Proposed Spin-off if materialised will constitute a deemed disposal under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Proposed Spin-off exceeds 25% but is less than 75% the Proposed Spin-off constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting announcement circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 and PN15 of the Listing Rules.Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules Shareholders’ approval may be obtained by written Shareholders’ approval in lieu of convening a general meeting if (a) no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Proposed Spin-off and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (b) the written approval has been obtained from a Shareholder or a closely allied group of Shareholders who together hold more than 50% of the issued share capital of the Company giving the right to attend and vote at the general meeting to approve the Proposed Spin-off and the transactions contemplated thereunder.As at the date of this announcement to the best of the knowledge information and belief of the Directors after having made all reasonable enquiries none of the Shareholders have any material interest in the Proposed Spin-off and the transactions contemplated thereunder and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Proposed Spin-off and the transactions contemplated thereunder.As at the date of this announcement Grandjoy Holdings Group holds 9133667644 Shares (representing approximately 64.18% of the issued Shares). As the Company has obtained the Written Approval from Grandjoy Holdings Group no special general meeting will be convened by the Company for the purpose of approving the Proposed Spin-off and the transactions contemplated thereunder pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.— 2 —The Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors has been established to consider and advise the Shareholders in respect of the terms of the Proposed Spin-off and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

The Project comprises of the shopping centre and carpark spaces located on Dayue Road Wuhou District Chengdu the PRC and its entire interest is held by the New Project Company as of the date of this announcement. Upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off the Consumer Infrastructure REIT will indirectly hold the entire interest in the Project and the Company through the Project Company will indirectly hold 40% of the total Units of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT and the Company’s indirect interest in the Project will be reduced to 40%. Therefore the financial results of the Project will cease to be consolidated in the Group’s financial statements upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off.The Proposed Spin-off on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange constitutes a spin-off under PN15 of the Listing Rules. The Company has submitted the PN15 Application in relation to the Proposed Spin-off to the Stock Exchange and the Stock Exchange has confirmed that the Company may proceed with the Proposed Spin-off.— 3 —THE PROPOSED SPIN-OFF The structure of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT and the Public Offering The Proposed Spin-off will involve the separate listing of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange which will indirectly hold the entire interest in the Project.Under the proposed offering structure the REIT Manager will set up the Consumer Infrastructure REIT as a publicly-listed consumer type infrastructure securities investment fund for Public Offering on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange at the expected size of approximately RMB3348000000 (based on the preliminary valuation of the Project and the information available as at the date of this announcement).It is currently expected that 40% of the total Units of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT will be subscribed by the Group through the Project Company at an expected aggregate price of approximately RMB1339200000 and 60% of the total Units of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT will be subscribed by external investors at an expected aggregate price of approximately RMB2008800000. The Consumer Infrastructure REIT will be set up in accordance with the Guidance the Circular and other applicable laws and regulations in the PRC.For the purpose of the Proposed Spin-off the Scheme will be set up by the Scheme Manager. As part of the Reorganisation prior to the date of this announcement the Project Company has established the New Project Company and the SPV and in addition the Project Company has contributed to the registered capital of the New Project Company by way of injection of its entire interest in the Project into the New Project Company. Therefore as of the date of this announcement the Project Company holds the entire equity interest in each of the New Project Company which holds the entire interest in the Project and the SPV. Upon completion of the Public Offering further steps of the Reorganisation will take place including among other things: (a) the Consumer Infrastructure REIT will apply the proceeds from the Public Offering after deducting costs and taxes relating to the Proposed Spin-off to subscribe for the entire equity interest in the Scheme; (b) the Scheme will acquire the entire equity interest in the SPV (which is held by the Project Company as at the date of this announcement) from the Project Company at a nominal consideration and will subsequently inject the net proceeds from the Public Offering into the SPV by way of capital injection into the SPV’s registered capital and provision of shareholder’s loan; (c) the SPV (which will be wholly-owned by the Scheme by then) will use the net proceeds mentioned in (b) above to acquire the entire equity interest in the New Project Company (which is held by the Project Company as at the date of this announcement) from the Project Company; (d) the SPV will then transfer the entire equity interest in the New Project Company to the Scheme at nominal consideration; and (e) the SPV will be merged into the New Project Company. The relevant parties have entered into definitive agreements to give effect to the Reorganisation as described above.— 4 —The structure of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off is set out below: Project Company Professional investors and public investors 40%60% REIT Manager REIT 100% Scheme Manager Scheme 100% New Project Company Operation Manager Project After the Proposed Spin-off the Operation Manager an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will be engaged by the REIT Manager to continue to provide operations management property management and car park management services to the Project. The purpose of such arrangement is to leverage on the Group’s expertise and experience for the daily operation and management of the Project which will continue to be marketed under the Group’s “Joy City” brand and to minimise the disruption of the daily operations of the Project after the Proposed Spin-off.The Proposed Spin-off including the relevant definitive agreements and the terms of the Public Offering such as the size and price range of the offering and the timetable of the Public Offering is subject to among other things the approval of the CSRC and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and therefore may be amended.Conditions precedent to the Proposed Spin-off The Proposed Spin-off is conditional upon among other things the following conditions: (a) the respective approvals of the CSRC the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Stock Exchange in relation to the Proposed Spin-off having been obtained; — 5 —(b) the approval of the Shareholders in relation to the Proposed Spin-off having been obtained; (c) the total amount of units offered by the Consumer Infrastructure REIT reaches 80% of the approved registration scale; (d) the offering size should be at least RMB200 million and there are at least 1000 investors participating in the offering; (e) the original holder of the interest of the Project (being the Project Company) has subscribed in the strategic tranche; (f) other than the portion placed with strategic investors not less than 70% of the remaining Units of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT shall be offered to offline investors; and (g) there is no other circumstance leading to the failure of the Public Offering.The Company has submitted the PN15 Application to the Stock Exchange and the Stock Exchange has confirmed that the Company may proceed with the Proposed Spin-off.FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED SPIN-OFF Upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off the Consumer Infrastructure REIT will indirectly hold the entire interest in the Project and it is anticipated that the Company through the Project Company will hold 40% of the total Units of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT. Therefore the Proposed Spin-off will result in the reduction of the Company’s indirect interest in the Project from 100% to 40% and the financial results of the Project will cease to be consolidated in the Group’s financial statements upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off.The overall impact on profit or loss that the Company expects to record from the Proposed Spin-off will mainly include the difference between the consideration for the transfer of the entire equity interest in the New Project Company which holds the Project by the Project Company to the SPV which will depend on among other things the offer price of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT and the carrying value of the Project in the consolidated accounts of the Company and the relevant transaction costs.The actual amount of gain or loss as a result of the Proposed Spin-off will be assessed after its completion and will be subject to the review and final audit by the auditors of the Company.— 6 —INFORMATION ON THE PROJECT The Project comprises the shopping center consisting of three buildings an underground structure and car park spaces with a total gross floor area of approximately 172500 square meters and is located on Dayue Road Wuhou District Chengdu the PRC. The Project commenced operations in 2015 and is owned and operated by the Group as of the date of this announcement.The table below sets out the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Project for the two years ended 31 December 2023 prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC: For the year ended 31 December 20222023 RMB’000 RMB’000 (unaudited) (unaudited) Revenue 239944 334963 Profit before taxation 84339 144887 Profit after taxation 63254 108665 The unaudited pro forma net asset value of the Project as at 31 December 2023 prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the PRC was approximately RMB1171586000.REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED SPIN-OFF The Directors consider that the Proposed Spin-off is commercially beneficial and in the interests of the Shareholders for the following reasons: (i) the Proposed Spin-off provides an alternative equity-based financing method for the Company which will diversify the fundraising methods and platforms of the Group. Through the Proposed Spin-off the Company will have the opportunity to realise the market value of properties that are in the mature and developed stage and enhance the Company’s rolling investment capability and sustainable operation of the Project which will be beneficial to the Company’s long-term performance; (ii) the estimated gross proceeds from the listing of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT based on the preliminary valuation of the Project and the information available as at the date of this announcement is expected to be approximately RMB3348000000. Based on such estimated gross proceeds and excluding subscription amount by the Group for 40% of the total Units and related costs and taxes the estimated net proceeds to be received by the Group from the Proposed Spin-off will be approximately RMB1670000000 which will provide the Group with capital for new investment opportunities and funds for its operations thereby enabling the Group to improve its liquidity and gearing position; — 7 —(iii) as the Company through the Project Company will subscribe 40% of the Units of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT the Company will continue to benefit from the business prospects and financial results of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT in the long term through stable return that it will receive in the form of distribution as a holder of the Units of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT and the fees in relation to the services provided by the Operations Manager; (iv) the Proposed Spin-off provides an opportunity for the Group to improve the Group’s profile strengthen the influence of its brand and thereby enhance its ability to attract strategic investors; and (v) the Proposed Spin-off will provide the Consumer Infrastructure REIT with a separate listing platform in the PRC for its business development and expansion which will enable it to have direct access to the PRC capital market.As of the date of this announcement other than the Project the Group holds 19 investments properties and the Group will continue its operations relating to the investment properties business segment after the Proposed Spin-off.In view of the above the Directors believe that the terms of the Proposed Spin-off are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.INFORMATION ON THE PARTIES The Company The Company is an investment holding company incorporated in Bermuda.

RMB ordinary securities accounts and close-end fund accounts can only be opened by (i) qualified PRC investors including PRC citizens satisfying the age requirements foreigners with PRC permanent resident status and ordinary PRC institutional investors; (ii) qualified foreign investors including residents from Hong Kong Macau and Taiwan who work and reside in the mainland of the PRC; and (iii) qualified special institutions and products including among others qualified foreign institutional investors and RMB qualified foreign institutional investors. CSDC Open-end Fund Accounts can only be opened by (a) individual investors with certain valid identification documents such as identification cards etc.; and (b) other institutional and individual investors that fulfil the account opening standards of fund sales agencies institutions ((i) to (iii) and (a) to (b) above are collectively referred to as “Qualified Investors”). As at 23 May 2024 approximately 35.51% of the total issued shares of the Company were held by its investors through HKSCC Nominees Limited according to the register of members of the Company. The Company is unable to ascertain the identifications of the Shareholders or further assess whether such Shareholders are Qualified Investors. Accordingly not all if any of the existing Shareholders will be qualified to hold the Units following the Proposed Spin-off and thus compliance with paragraph 3(f) of PN15 in relation to the Public Offering will not be feasible.Further the PRC legal counsel also advised that according to the requirements of relevant laws andregulations such as the Law of the PRC on Funds for Investment in Securities 《( 中华人民共和国证券投资基金法》) the Guidance and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange’s Guidelines for the Application of the Rules for Public Offering of Infrastructure Securities Investment Funds (REITs) No. 2 – OfferingBusiness (Trial)*《深圳证券交易所公开募集基础设施证券投资基金业务指引第2号–发售业务(试行)》 unless otherwise prescribed by law the investors of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT are unable to be provided with a preferential allocation of the units on the ground that all investors shall be treated equally. Except for the strategic placement to the original owners of the Consumer Infrastructure REIT or their related parties under common control and the units offered to offline investors in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations the relevant laws and regulations do not grant other specific entities the right to subscribe for a specific percentage of the units of public funds on a preferential basis. Pursuant to the applicable PRC laws and regulations the Company is unable to ascertain the identifications of the Shareholders or further assess whether such Shareholders are qualified to participate in the preferential allocations. Accordingly the Company is not able to provide Shareholders with assured entitlement by way of preferential allocation of the Units.— 10 —In addition pursuant to relevant requirements of the Guidance if the original owner of the infrastructure assets holds not less than 20% of the Units it must hold 20% of such Units for at least 60 months from the listing date of the Consumer Infrastructure REITs whilst the part of the Units held by such original owner in excess of such 20% must be held by it for at least 36 months from the listing date of the Consumer Infrastructure REITs. Subject to such regulations it is impractical to transfer or distribute the Units to the Shareholders.After due and careful consideration of the Proposed Spin-off and having taken into account the advice from the PRC legal counsel on the legal impediments in fulfilling such requirement the Board considers that it is not feasible for the Company to comply with paragraph 3(f) of PN15 in connection with the Proposed Spin-off. Accordingly the Board considers that the Proposed Spin-off and the non-provision of the assured entitlement in relation to the Proposed Spin-off are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. The Company has also applied for and the Stock Exchange has granted a waiver from strict compliance with the requirement of paragraph 3(f) of Practice Note 15 of the Listing Rules.LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS As at the date of this announcement the Group indirectly holds the entire interest in the Project. Upon completion of the Proposed Spin-off the Company’s indirect interest in the Project will be reduced to 40%. As such the Proposed Spin-off if materialised will constitute a deemed disposal under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules. As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Proposed Spin-off exceeds 25% but is less than 75% the Proposed Spin-off constitutes a major transaction of the Company and is therefore subject to the reporting announcement circular and Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 and PN15 of the Listing Rules.Pursuant to Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules Shareholders’ approval may be obtained by written Shareholders’ approval in lieu of convening a general meeting if (a) no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Proposed Spin-off and the transactions contemplated thereunder; and (b) the written approval has been obtained from a Shareholder or a closely allied group of Shareholders who together hold more than 50% of the issued share capital of the Company giving the right to attend and vote at the general meeting to approve the Proposed Spin-off and the transactions contemplated thereunder.As at the date of this announcement to the best of the knowledge information and belief of the Directors after having made all reasonable enquiries none of the Shareholders have any material interest in the Proposed Spin-off and the transactions contemplated thereunder and therefore no Shareholder is required to abstain from voting if the Company were to convene a general meeting for the approval of the Proposed Spin-off and the transactions contemplated thereunder.— 11 —As at the date of this announcement Grandjoy Holdings Group holds 9133667644 Shares (representing approximately 64.18% of the issued Shares).
