None of the Existing Notes Trustee, the CB Trustee, the Common Security Trustee, the Paying Agent, Transfer Agent or the Registrar accept any responsibility or liability in respect of such matters. A transferee of an economic or beneficial interest in the Existing HY Notes, Convertible Bonds or Existing Offshore Loans after the Record Time will not be entitled to vote at the Scheme Meetings.

  (a) section 86 of the Companies Law in relation to the Cayman Scheme between the Company and the Scheme Creditors; and

Nothing in this Explanatory Statement or any other document issued with or appended to it should be relied on for any purpose other than for Scheme Creditors in their capacity as creditors of the Company to make a decision whether or not to approve the Schemes. In particular, and without limitation, nothing in this Explanatory Statement should be relied on in connection with the purchase or acquisition of any Scheme Claim or any interest in a Scheme Claim, or any other financial instruments, securities, assets or liabilities of the Company or any other Group Company.

Nothing contained in this Explanatory Statement constitutes a recommendation, or the giving of advice, by the Directors, the Scheme Supervisor, the Company, the Kaisa Advisers, any member of the Group or any of the Citi Trust Entities as to the merits of the Scheme or with respect to the effect of the Schemes or to take a particular course of action or to exercise or refrain from exercising any right conferred by the Existing HY Notes, Convertible Bonds or the Existing Offshore Loans in relation to buying, selling, subscribing for, exchanging, redeeming, holding, underwriting, disposing of, or converting the Existing HY Notes, the Convertible Bonds, the Existing Offshore Loans, or any other financial instruments, securities, assets or liabilities of the Company or any company within the Group.

You further acknowledge that you are aware, and that you will advise your representatives, that certain securities laws prohibit any person who has received MNPI from dealing in securities, or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to deal in such securities, and that certain financial information and other information provided in this Explanatory Statement may constitute MNPI with respect to the Company or any member of the Group. You represent and agree (i) that you and your representatives will handle any MNPI only in accordance with applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules; (ii) that any use of this information by you or your representatives other than in accordance with applicable securities laws and stock exchange rules may constitute a violation of the laws or regulations, including in relation to insider dealing/trading; and (iii) that you or your representatives are solely responsible for any consequences arising from any such violation.

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, nothing in this Explanatory Statement or the distribution thereof evidences to any person, or constitutes any admission by the Directors, the Company or the Scheme Supervisor that a liability is owed to any person in respect of any Claim (including, without limitation, any Scheme Claim) or that any person is or may be a Scheme Creditor. The failure to distribute this Explanatory Statement to any person shall not constitute an admission by the Directors, the Company or the Scheme Supervisor that such person is not a Scheme Creditor.

Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

1.6 Company financial statements

As explained in Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of this Explanatory Statement, the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 are not available. In October 2015, the Independent Committee engaged FTI to assist it with investigations into the matters raised by the Auditor in connection with the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2014. The investigations and forensic examination being conducted by FTI are ongoing. The Company, through the Independent Committee and with the assistance of FTI, continues to make every effort to address the matters raised by the Auditor in order that the audit work can resume and be completed.

The Company has prepared consolidated management accounts as at and for the year ended 31 December 2014 (the “2014 Management Accounts”) and as at and for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 (the “September 2015 Management Accounts”), (together, the “Unaudited Management Accounts”). The figures in this Explanatory Statement presented as being as at or for the year ended 31 December 2014 or 30 September 2015 are based on the Unaudited Management Accounts. Audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 and years prior to that are available on the website of the SEHK (https://www.hkex.com.hk/). The Unaudited Management Accounts can be found in Appendix 4 (Unaudited Management Accounts) to this Explanatory Statement.

The Unaudited Management Accounts have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies adopted by the Company in prior years and based on the best knowledge and belief of the Board. The Board believes them to be accurate based on the current information available.

However, given the ongoing investigations and examinations of the Independent Committee and FTI, the substantial turnover of staff in the Company’s accounting and finance team, and the present inability of the Auditor to complete the audit of the 2014 Management Accounts and the fact that the Auditor has not reviewed or audited the September 2015 Management Accounts, neither the Company nor the Board represents or warrants that the Unaudited Management Accounts accurately reflect, or give a true and fair view of, the financial position and financial performance of the Group as at and for the period ended on 31 December 2014 or 30 September 2015. The Company and Board, furthermore, do not represent or warrant that the Unaudited Management Accounts have been prepared in accordance with the current HKFRS, IFRS or generally accepted accounting principles in any jurisdiction, nor that they comply with the disclosure requirements of the Companies Ordinance. The Board considers that there may be significant adjustments to the Unaudited Management Accounts, and therefore neither the Company nor the Board can represent or warrant that the Unaudited Management Accounts are free from material misstatement. Furthermore, it is possible that adjustments or restatements will need to be made to the Group’s consolidated financial statements for annual or interim periods prior to the periods covered by the Unaudited Management Accounts, depending on the results of the ongoing investigation and examinations of the Independent Committee and FTI and the completion of the audit of the 2014 Management Accounts. In these circumstances, Scheme Creditors are advised to exercise caution in placing reliance on the Unaudited Management Accounts, or the financial information contained in this Explanatory Statement.

For a discussion of the risks associated with the Company’s financial information and the ongoing investigations and examinations of the Independent Committee and FTI examination, please refer to Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) and Part 6 (Risk Factors) of this Explanatory Statement.

Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

The Company has engaged AlixPartners to, amongst other things, conduct a review of the Unaudited Management Accounts and prepare a report, for inclusion in this Explanatory Statement, which includes: (i) a high level summary of the recent trading performance of the Group; and (ii) the results of its high level, analytical review of the base case cash flow forecast for the period ending 31 December 2020, highlighting the key risks, sensitivities and upsides to the forecast identified. Additional information regarding the role of AlixPartners, together with the results of its work, is described in Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of this Explanatory Statement, and a copy of the AlixPartners Report is attached at Appendix 5 (AlixPartners Report) to this Explanatory Statement. Scheme Creditors should note that the AlixPartners Report has not been prepared in accordance with current HKFRS, IFRS or generally accepted accounting principles in any other jurisdiction, and it should not be viewed as a substitute for audited consolidated financial statements. Moreover, Scheme Creditors should note the limitations of scope as set out in the AlixPartners Report and that the AlixPartners Report is provided to Scheme Creditors on a non-reliance basis. The Company’s reporting currency is the RMB. This Explanatory Statement also contains conversions of certain RMB amounts into HKD or USD for the convenience of the reader. Unless otherwise stated, all translations of RMB into HKD were made at HKD1.0000 to RMB 0.8379 and all conversions of RMB into U.S. dollars were made at USD1.0000 to RMB6.4971, being the published rates as at 22 March 2016 as set out under the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange (“SAFE). The Company makes no representation that the RMB, HKD or USD amounts referred to in this Explanatory Statement could have been or could be converted into RMB, HKD or USD, as the case may be, at any particular rate or at all.

 

1.7 Restrictions

The distribution of this Explanatory Statement to or in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law or regulation and persons into whose possession this Explanatory Statement comes are requested to inform themselves about, and to observe, any such restrictions. Failure to comply with any such restrictions could result in a violation of the laws of such jurisdictions. Furthermore, this Explanatory Statement may contain MNPI and should not, therefore, be distributed to, nor shown to, any party by a recipient, save for the purposes of taking appropriate advice.

 

1.8 Summary only

The summary of the principal provisions of the Schemes contained in this Explanatory Statement is qualified in its entirety by reference to each of the Hong Kong Scheme and the Cayman Scheme. The full text of each of the Hong Kong Scheme and the Cayman Scheme is set out in Appendix 6 (Hong Kong Scheme Document) and Appendix 7 (Cayman Scheme Document), respectively. Each Scheme Creditor is advised to read and consider carefully the text of both the Hong Kong Scheme and the Cayman Scheme. This Explanatory Statement has been prepared solely to assist Scheme Creditors in respect of voting on the Schemes.

In the event of a conflict between the information and terms described in:

 

  (a) this Explanatory Statement; and

 

  (b) the Schemes or any Restructuring Documents,

the terms of the Schemes and/or the relevant Restructuring Document shall prevail.

The Company shall be at liberty to modify the Schemes at any time prior to sanction of the Schemes save that, insofar as there are any Initial Consenting Creditors, the Company will only modify the Scheme with the consent of the Initial Consenting Creditors Majority. The Company shall enjoy such liberty notwithstanding any actions in reliance on the Schemes or this Explanatory Statement by a Scheme Creditor or any other person.

Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

1.9 Offering Memoranda

The Existing HY Notes and the Convertible Bonds were issued in connection with the offerings contemplated under the Offering Memoranda. This Explanatory Statement is not a prospectus within the meaning of article 3 of Directive 2003/71/EC or of the Companies (Winding up and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32 of the Laws of Hong Kong), or a prospectus equivalent document.

 

1.10 Forward-looking statements

Nothing in this Explanatory Statement shall be deemed to be a forecast, projection or estimate of the future financial performance of the Company and/or any Group Company except where otherwise specifically stated.

This Explanatory Statement contains statements, estimates, opinions and projections with respect to the Company and the Group and certain plans and objectives of the Company and the Group. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts and are made under the “safe harbour” provisions of the U.S. Securities Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements often use words such as “anticipate”, “target”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”, “plan”, “goal”, “believe”, “will”, “may”, “should”, “would”, “could” or other words of similar import. These statements are based on numerous assumptions and assessments made by the Directors and the Company and relevant advisers as appropriate in light of their experience and their perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors which they believe appropriate. No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to be correct. Forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties. They should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not such results will be achieved. Such forward-looking statements only speak as at the date of this Explanatory Statement. A number of factors could cause actual results to necessarily differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, the factors and uncertainties set out in Part 6 (Risk Factors) of this Explanatory Statement. Each Scheme Creditor must make its own assessment of the validity of such forward-looking statements and their underlying assumptions and no liability is accepted by the Directors, the Scheme Supervisor, the Kaisa Advisers or the Company in respect of the achievement or failure thereof of such forward-looking statements and assumptions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialise, or should the underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described in such forward-looking statements and accordingly in this Explanatory Statement.

Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

1.11 Risk factors

Scheme Creditors’ attention is drawn to certain risks and uncertainties associated with the Restructuring Proposal that are set out in Part 6 (Risk Factors) of this Explanatory Statement. Each Scheme Creditor should carefully read and analyse such risk factors and uncertainties, and fully understand the impact, which may be material and adverse, on its financial condition and prospects. The statement of risk factors is not and is not intended to be an exhaustive statement of such factors or of all possible factors which might influence the decision of Scheme Creditors as regards the Schemes or any investment decision.

 

1.12 Legal, tax and financial advice

The contents of this Explanatory Statement are not intended to be, and are not, legal, tax or financial advice. Scheme Creditors should not construe the contents as such.

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the purpose stated above only. It does not take into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular recipient of it, and consequently, the information contained in this Explanatory Statement may not be sufficient or appropriate for the purpose for which a recipient might seek to use it. It is addressed to Scheme Creditors in their capacity as such for their information only, and only for the purpose of assisting their consideration of the Scheme, and no person should rely on it in formulating or reaching any investment decision. Each Scheme Creditor should conduct its own due diligence and consider the appropriateness of the information in this Explanatory Statement having regard to its own objectives, financial situations and needs. Scheme Creditors must rely on their own due diligence and their professional advisers in their decisions with respect to the Schemes and the Restructuring Transactions and are also recommended to consult their own professional advisers as to legal, tax, financial or other aspects relevant to any action Scheme Creditors might take in relation to the Schemes and the Restructuring Transactions, or the implications/consequences of such action.

 

1.13 Other jurisdictions

The implications of the Restructuring Transactions for Scheme Creditors who are incorporated in, residents of, or citizens of, jurisdictions other than the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions. Such Scheme Creditors who are not incorporated in, or residents of, or citizens of, the Cayman Islands or Hong Kong should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal requirements in their respective jurisdictions and Scheme Creditors should consult independent professional advisers in any relevant jurisdiction to satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection with the Schemes and the Restructuring Transactions, including obtaining any requisite governmental or other consents, observing any other requisite formalities and paying any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such jurisdiction.

Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

 

2. IMPORTANT SECURITIES LAW NOTICE

 

 

 

2.1 Certain Scheme Creditors or the interest held by certain Scheme Creditors, and the effect of the Schemes on those Scheme Creditors or interests, may be subject to securities law regulations and considerations in certain jurisdictions. The distribution of the Scheme Consideration to Scheme Creditors resident in such certain jurisdictions will be subject to the limitations described below. Scheme Creditors should satisfy themselves as to any such considerations, and take appropriate professional advice in respect thereof.

As to securities law considerations arising in connection with the Schemes and/or the Restructuring Transactions in the following jurisdictions, namely:

the United States of America; the European Economic Area; the United Kingdom; Hong Kong; Singapore; the PRC; Taiwan; the Cayman Islands; and the British Virgin Islands, Scheme Creditors are referred to the notices below.

 

2.2 U.S. Securities Law Considerations

The Company intends to rely on the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided in Section 3(a)(10) thereof for the issuance of the Scheme Consideration to Scheme Creditors in exchange for their Scheme Claims, as contemplated in the Schemes. This exemption is available subject to the following conditions:

 

  (a) the Scheme Consideration must be issued predominantly in exchange for Scheme Claims; and

 

  (b) the Grand Court and the High Court, having been previously advised of the Company’s reliance on their respective determination on the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act, must hold an open hearing and approve the fairness of the terms and conditions of the exchange.

The Company is relying on each of the following in order to avail itself of the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act as provided in Section 3(a)(10) for the issuance of the Scheme Consideration to Scheme Creditors in exchange for their Scheme Claims:

 

  (c) under the laws of the Cayman Islands and Hong Kong, the Grand Court and the High Court will not approve the Schemes for the issuance of the Scheme Consideration to Scheme Creditors in exchange for their Scheme Claims unless each court finds the transaction to be one which an intelligent and honest Scheme Creditor might reasonably approve;

 

  (d) the Scheme Creditors have received notice of, and have the right to appear and be heard at the hearing before the Grand Court with respect to the convening of the Scheme Meetings, and the Scheme Meetings;

 

  (e) the Scheme Creditors have received or will be given notice of, and have the right to attend or appear by counsel at, the Cayman Scheme Sanction Hearing of the Grand Court and the Hong Kong Scheme Sanction Hearing of the High Court; and

 

  (f) the Company advised the Grand Court and the High Court before the relevant Sanction Hearings that it would rely on the Section 3(a)(10) exemption of the Securities Act and not register under the Securities Act the Scheme Consideration to be issued to the Scheme Creditors in exchange for their Scheme Claims based on such court’s sanctioning of the Schemes at the relevant Sanction Hearings.

 

12


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

None of the Scheme Consideration has been or will be registered under the Securities Act. The Scheme Consideration generally should not be treated as “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, and persons who receive securities in the Scheme (other than “affiliates” as described in the paragraph below) may resell them without restriction under the Securities Act.

Under U.S. securities laws, persons who are “affiliates” of the Company after the Restructuring Effective Date or were “affiliates” of the Company within 90 days prior to the Restructuring Effective Date may not resell the Scheme Consideration without registration under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, registration requirements of the Securities Act, such as in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act or in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Whether a person is an affiliate of the Company for such purposes depends upon the circumstances, but affiliates of a company can include certain officers and directors and significant shareholders. Scheme Creditors who believe they may be affiliates for the purposes of the Securities Act should consult their own legal advisers prior to any resale of the Scheme Consideration.

The Scheme Consideration will not be listed on a U.S. securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system in the United States. The Company does not intend to take action to facilitate a market in any of the Scheme Consideration in the United States. Consequently, the Company believes that it is unlikely that an active trading market in the United States will develop for any such securities.

Neither the SEC nor any U.S. State or other securities commission or regulatory authority has approved or disapproved of the Scheme Consideration or passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of this document. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

Please note that no distribution of the Scheme Consideration will be made to any Scheme Creditors located in Arizona or California unless it meets the qualifications set forth opposite the name of such jurisdiction below.

In order for Scheme Creditors to receive their entitlement to the Scheme Consideration, each Scheme Creditor, and its Designated Recipient, will be required to complete the Distribution Confirmation Deed, which includes certain securities law confirmations and undertakings. Scheme Creditors are strongly advised to consult their professional advisers in respect of the contents of such securities law confirmations and undertakings in the Distribution Confirmation Deed.

2.13 Certain ERISA and Related Considerations

The U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), imposes certain fiduciary and related requirements on employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that are subject to Part 4 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA (the “Plans”), and on the persons charged with administering and investing the assets of the Plans, called “fiduciaries” under ERISA. Fiduciaries of such Plans should keep in mind their statutory duties under Section 406 of ERISA when evaluating what actions to take with respect to the Restructuring Proposal (including without limitation to act “solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of the Plan” and “with the care, skill, prudence, and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent man acting in a like capacity and familiar with such matters would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims”). Likewise, fiduciaries must refrain from certain activities and “prohibited transactions” as set forth in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended) (the “Code”).

U.S. based governmental plans, certain church plans, non U.S. plans and other plans, while not subject to the fiduciary responsibility provisions of Title I of ERISA or the provisions of Section 4975 of the Code, may nevertheless be subject to state, local, federal or non U.S. laws that are substantially similar to the foregoing provisions of ERISA and the Code (“Similar Legislation”).

 

18


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

The foregoing discussion regarding ERISA and the Code is general in nature and does not purport to be complete.

Fiduciaries of any Scheme Creditor that is, or holds “plan assets” of, a plan, arrangement or entity subject to Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or to any Similar Legislation should consult with their counsel concerning the matters described in this section. Scheme Creditors will be required to make certain representations, or deemed representations, regarding their status as Benefit Plan Investors and the application to them of any Similar Legislation in order to receive Scheme Consideration. Scheme Creditors will be required to make certain representations, or deemed representations, regarding their status as Benefit Plan Investors and the application to them of any Similar Legislation in order to receive Scheme Consideration.

None of the securities referred to in this Explanatory Statement may be sold, issued or transferred in any jurisdiction in contravention of applicable law.

3. LETTER FROM THE DIRECTORS TO THE SCHEME CREDITORS

 

 

April 2016

Dear Scheme Creditor,

 

3.1 INTRODUCTION

 

  (a) The Directors write to you on behalf of the Company in your capacity as a person who is, or appears to be, a Scheme Creditor.

 

  (b) This letter forms part of the Explanatory Statement for the Schemes proposed by the Company as part of the Restructuring Proposal, the details of which are explained below.

 

  (c) Defined terms used in this letter are as defined in Appendix 1 (Definitions and Interpretation) to the Explanatory Statement.

 

3.2 BACKGROUND AND CURRENT STATUS

 

  (a) A detailed description of the Company, its Group, its operations, and the difficulties it has faced in the last 16 months or so is given in the Explanatory Statement. In brief, the Company is a property developer focussed on mass market housing demand in the PRC. In order to finance its operations, the Company sought financing from various sources (both onshore and offshore). The offshore financing included issuing the Existing HY Notes and the Convertible Bonds, as well as entering into the Existing Offshore Loans with HSBC and ICBC. The Group’s onshore financing is described in paragraph 9.4(i) of this Explanatory Statement.

 

  (b) The Common Shares of the Company were listed on the Main Board of SEHK on 9 December 2009.

 

  (c) As stated in the 4 December 2014 Announcement, at or around that time the Company became aware that the processing and filing of sale and purchase agreements relating to certain of its projects had been blocked by certain governmental authorities in Shenzhen, PRC. Subsequently, the Company discovered that other actions by various local government authorities had caused serious disruption to certain of the Company’s projects.

 

  (d) As described in more detail in the Explanatory Statement, this sequence of events led to the Company’s PRC lenders taking various actions, including legal actions by which the Company’s assets were frozen (including certain bank accounts). Consequently, the monthly cash collections of the Company dropped significantly, from RMB2,098 million in November 2014 to RMB143 million in February 2015.

 

  (e) As part of the Company’s efforts to address the difficulties faced by it, negotiations took place between major shareholders of the Company and Sunac, with a view to Sunac purchasing a substantial equity stake in the Company. However, that transaction did not proceed. The proposed transaction with Sunac is discussed in more detail in Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of the Explanatory Statement.

 

20


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

  (f) During this period, the difficulties faced by the Company resulted in it defaulting on certain of its liabilities including its obligations under the Existing HY Notes, the Convertible Bonds and the Existing Offshore Loans, and there was a change in the composition of the board of Directors of the Company.

 

  (g) Further, and as described in more detail in Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of the Explanatory Statement, on or around 14 February 2015 a representative of Sunac reported to Mr Yuenan Sun (“Mr Sun”), co-chairman of the Board at the relevant time, that he believed that the interest-bearing debt of the Company was approximately RMB65 billion as at 31 December 2014, an increase of approximately RMB35.2 billion from the figure reported as at 30 June 2014 contained in the 2014 Interim Report published by the Company on the website of the SEHK on 21 September 2014. The Company then made the 16 February 2015 Announcement on the SEHK website, setting out the Group’s financial status based on a preliminary review of its financial information. Again, the circumstances of the Company making that announcement are set out in Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of the Explanatory Statement, but in outline, the view of the Board was that the comment made by the Sunac representative should first be investigated. However, such representative nevertheless repeated the comment to certain Onshore Lenders, thus forcing the Company to make the announcement to ensure that the Company complied with its disclosure obligations under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance and the Listing Rules.

 

  (h) On 17 February 2015, the Auditor notified the Company of certain matters that required clarification in order for it to complete the audit of the Group’s financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2014. In the 8 March 2015 Announcement, the Company disclosed the then proposed restructuring of its Offshore Debt, which announcement included reference to certain of the issues identified by the Auditor. Such issues are discussed in more detail in Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of the Explanatory Statement, as are the significant steps which the Company has taken to ensure that such matters are properly investigated and considered, including the appointment of the Independent Committee (which itself instructed legal advisers and also instructed FTI to conduct an investigation); AlixPartners to conduct a review of the Company’s financial information; Deloitte to prepare a liquidation analysis; and DTZ to perform valuation work in respect of the Group’s assets.

 

  (i) The Company appointed Houlihan in February 2015 to assist it in formulating, negotiating and implementing a restructuring plan. Following this, negotiations took place between the Company and its creditors including, as relevant to the Schemes, holders of the Existing HY Notes and Convertible Bonds, HSBC, and ICBC.

 

  (j) As a result of these efforts, and following negotiations with the Steering Committee and representatives of other Offshore Creditors, the Company is of the view that the Restructuring Proposal, as described in Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of the Explanatory Statement, is in the best interests of the Group and those with an economic interest in the Company.

 

  (k) In parallel with the negotiation and discussions with the Steering Committee as regards the Company’s Offshore Creditors, the Company was also engaged in discussions with the Onshore Lenders. Those negotiations have taken place on a bilateral basis with each lender and have been substantially progressed.

 

21


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

3.3 OVERVIEW OF THE RESTRUCTURING PROPOSAL

The RSA and other support for the Restructuring Proposal

 

  (a) The negotiations referred to above culminated in the Steering Committee Advisers and the Kaisa Advisers agreeing the form of the RSA, which was executed by (among others) the Company and the Initial Consenting Creditors on 10 January 2016.

 

  (b) More detail on the terms and effect of the RSA is set out in Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of the Explanatory Statement. Broadly, however, the terms of the RSA provide for Scheme Creditors to agree to support the Restructuring Proposal, including voting in favour of approving the Schemes, in return for which the Consent Fee is payable.

 

  (c) In addition to the RSA, in the circumstances described further both below and in more detail in section 6 (Scheme Creditors) of the Preliminary part of this Explanatory Statement, other Scheme Creditors also committed to support the Schemes.

 

  (d) As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, Scheme Claims representing 96.25 % in value of the aggregate of known Scheme Claims have committed to vote in favour of the Schemes.

The Restructuring Proposal

 

  (e) The Company has prepared a Restructuring Proposal which has been approved by the Directors. This Restructuring Proposal includes various measures intended to permit the Group to continue to operate on a going concern basis. As part of the Restructuring Proposal, the Schemes are proposed to give effect to a restructuring of the obligations of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors under each of:

 

  (i) the Existing HY Notes and the Existing HY Note Guarantees, which are governed by the laws of the State of New York;

 

  (ii) the Convertible Bonds and the Existing CB Guarantees, which are governed by the laws of England and Wales; and

 

  (iii) the Existing Offshore Loans, which are governed by the laws of Hong Kong (save in respect of the Company’s obligation pursuant to the HSBC ISDA, which is governed by the laws of England and Wales).

 

  (f) In overview, the commercial terms of the Restructuring Proposal provide for (amongst other things), the issue of the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds in place of Existing HY Notes, the Existing Offshore Loans and the Convertible Bonds. The terms provide for there to be an extension of the date for repayment of (but no reduction in) the principal amounts due under each of the Existing HY Notes, the Existing Offshore Loans and the Convertible Bonds. The terms also provide a mechanism to allow Scheme Creditors to share in upside from a recovery of the business reflected in the trading price of the Common Shares, being the ability to elect to receive CVRs in connection with the New HY Notes and (assuming the relevant conditions for automatic exchange are satisfied so that the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds are exchanged into the Exchange Convertible Bonds) the ability for the Exchange Convertible Bonds to be converted into Common Shares at a lower conversion price than the Convertible Bonds.

 

22


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

  (g) The compromise and arrangement sought to be effected by the Schemes shall, if approved, apply to all Scheme Claims and be binding on all Scheme Creditors.

 

  (h) On the Restructuring Effective Date, the Scheme Claims of Scheme Creditors (including Scheme Claims against the Subsidiary Guarantors) shall be released fully and absolutely under the Schemes so as to bind the Scheme Creditors (including for the avoidance of doubt, any person who has or acquires after the Record Time any interest in or arising out of such Scheme Claims). The release of Scheme Claims would preclude action being taken by Scheme Creditors against the Company or its Subsidiaries, or any of their Personnel, Affiliates or advisers in respect of claims relating to or arising in respect of the Existing HY Notes, the Existing Indentures, the Convertible Bonds, the CB Trust Deed and/or the Existing Offshore Loans, save in the case of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, dishonesty, wilful default or wilful misconduct. On the Exchange Date, the Company shall issue the New HY Notes, the CVRs, and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds to the Scheme Creditors through any applicable depositaries and intermediaries, in accordance with the terms of the Schemes.

 

  (i) Houlihan has acted as financial adviser, and Sidley, Ropes & Gray, Tanner De Witt, King & Wood and Harneys have acted as legal advisers to the Company in relation to the Schemes and the Restructuring Proposal.

 

  (j) It is proposed that the implementation of the Restructuring Proposal will involve (amongst other things) the:

 

  (i) implementation of the Cayman Scheme, being a court approved scheme of arrangement in the Cayman Islands pursuant to section 86 of the Companies Law;

 

  (ii) implementation of the Hong Kong Scheme, being a court approved scheme of arrangement in Hong Kong pursuant to section 673 of the Companies Ordinance; and

 

  (iii) grant of a Chapter 15 Recognition Order following the Recognition Filings, being a petition under Chapter 15 of the US Bankruptcy Code for recognition of the compromise and arrangement under the terms of the Hong Kong Scheme and/or the Cayman Scheme.

 

  (k) The Explanatory Statement delivered with this letter, which is provided pursuant to Section 671 of the Companies Ordinance and Order 102, Rule 20 of the Grand Court Rules 1995, is distributed for the purpose of providing Scheme Creditors with all information reasonably necessary to enable the Scheme Creditors to make an informed decision on whether or not to approve the Schemes.

 

23


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

3.4 EFFECT OF THE SCHEMES

The Directors believe that the successful implementation of the Schemes will avoid the liquidation of the Company and other members of the Group, whilst preserving the principal claims of Scheme Creditors.

 

3.5 WHOSE RIGHTS WILL BE ALTERED BY THE SCHEMES?

The Schemes will affect the rights of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Scheme Creditors only.

 

3.6 ALTERNATIVES TO THE RESTRUCTURING PROPOSAL

The Directors believe that should the Restructuring Proposal not proceed the most likely outcome is a liquidation of the Group.

 

  (a) Unless the Restructuring Proposal succeeds, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will be unable to comply with their obligations under the Existing Transaction Documents. Specifically, the Group has limited available cash and, should the Schemes fail, would be unable to pay its debts. The estimated recoveries in a liquidation scenario are described in the Liquidation Analysis at Appendix 8 (Liquidation Analysis) to the Explanatory Statement.

 

  (b) The Directors believe that there is a low likelihood of consummating an alternative financial restructuring. A restructuring term sheet, outlining the Restructuring Proposal in its then form, was posted by the Company on the SEHK website by the 6 November 2015 Announcement, and updated by the 24 December 2015 Announcement. As announced on the SEHK’s website by the 20 November 2015 Announcement, the Company had been approached the previous day by Farallon with an indicative, but preliminary and non-binding, alternative proposal for the restructuring of the Offshore Debt. For the reasons stated in the 20 November 2015 Announcement and as referred to in Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of the Explanatory Statement, the Directors took the view that the Restructuring Proposal (in its then form) should be progressed in preference to negotiating with Farallon. Further, the Onshore Lenders (who had indicated that unless a restructuring were concluded with the Offshore Creditors then they, the Onshore Lenders, would not agree to a restructuring of the Onshore Debt) also indicated that they did not consider the indicative approach made by Farallon to be viable, in particular given that the approach indicated by Farallon would appear to have involved a change in senior management of the Group, which the Onshore Lenders believed should remain in place if the Company was to be able to effect a successful restructuring. The position of the Onshore Lenders in this regard has been communicated to representatives of the Company during the discussions held to negotiate the Framework Agreement (which is discussed in more detail in paragraphs 9.3(e) to 9.3(h) of the Explanatory Statement) and was also communicated to the Steering Committee Advisers in a meeting with the Onshore Lenders Committee on 5 December 2015.

 

  (c) The Company therefore continued to work with the Kaisa Advisers and the Steering Committee Advisers, which led to the execution of the RSA on 10 January 2016 as indicated above. Shortly thereafter, a further alternative proposal was received from Farallon, together with BFAM. The Company made disclosure of that approach by the 21 January 2016 Announcement on the SEHK website. For the reasons stated in that announcement, the Company considered that the proposal was not commercially viable but would continue to explore options in the interests of stakeholders.

  (d) The Company is pleased to report that after further discussions, the terms of the Restructuring Proposal were agreed with the Steering Committee and the representatives of other Offshore Creditors, including Farallon and BFAM.

 

  (e) It is in these circumstances, and taking into account the substantial efforts that have been made to reach the current position, that the Directors believe that there is very little likelihood of an alternative restructuring being possible.

 

3.7 FUNDING

The Company will pay all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with the negotiation, promulgation and implementation of the Schemes. Further, it is common practice for certain costs of creditors who work with a debtor to agree and implement the debtor’s restructuring to be met by the debtor. In this regard, the Company has agreed to meet certain of the costs and expenses of the Steering Committee Advisers and of the advisers to other certain Offshore Creditors, including BFAM and Farallon.

 

3.8 THE DIRECTORS AND THE EFFECTS OF THE SCHEMES ON THEIR INTERESTS

 

  (a) The current members of the Board are listed in paragraph 11.7 in Part 4 (Overview of the Group) of this Explanatory Statement.

 

  (b) The interests of the Directors of the Company, including in the share capital of the Company, are set out in paragraph 11.8 in Part 4 (Overview of the Group) as at the date of this Explanatory Statement.

 

  (c) A description of the share option scheme in place for the Directors and employees of the Company is set out in Appendix 9 (Company’s Shareholding) to this Explanatory Statement.

 

3.9 SHAREHOLDERS

A list of the material shareholders of the Company as at the date of this Explanatory Statement is set out in paragraph 11.1(d) of Part 4 (Overview of the Group) and at Appendix 9 (Company’s Shareholding) of this Explanatory Statement.

 

3.10 RISK FACTORS

 

  (a) The Company and the Group of which it is a part are exposed to significant business risks, including many of the same risks faced by other companies in its industry operating in the same geographical region. Since the Company is the ultimate holding company of the Group, its financial condition and results of operations are necessarily affected by the operations and financial conditions of its Subsidiaries. In addition, the Company faces risks associated with the implementation of the Restructuring Proposal and risks resulting from the disruption to its business and the liquidity pressure it has faced. The Directors believe that the successful implementation of the Restructuring Proposal is a key step towards mitigating these risks and will allow the Group to focus on its operations and principal business activities.

 

  (b) The principal risk factors that the Group will likely face after the restructuring are set out in Part 6 (Risk Factors) of this Explanatory Statement. However, those risk factors are not an exhaustive list of all the potential risks and uncertainties which may be involved.

3.11 ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN

Meetings of Scheme Creditors

 

  (a) By orders dated 19 April 2016 and 7 April 2016 the High Court and the Grand Court have, respectively, granted the Company permission to convene the Scheme Meetings for Scheme Creditors to consider and if thought fit, approve the Schemes (with or without modification).

Voting at the Scheme Meetings

 

  (b) Scheme Creditors may vote at the Scheme Meetings in person (or in the case of a corporation by a duly authorised representative) or by proxy, in each case by completing the Account Holder Letter.

 

  (c) In order to vote on the Schemes and attend the Scheme Meetings, Scheme Creditors must follow the voting instructions set out in section 6 (Scheme Creditors) of the Preliminary part of, and in Appendix 2 (Instruction Packet) to this Explanatory Statement.

We would urge all Scheme Creditors to start the process required for authorising and arranging attendance of an authorised representative, and submitting their Account Holder Letters for the Scheme Meetings as soon as possible and in no event later than 10:00pm (Hong Kong time) on 18 May 2016.

Attendance at Scheme Meetings

 

  (d) The CI Scheme Meeting will be held at Harneys’ Cayman Islands office at 4th Floor, Harbour Place, 103 South Church Street, PO Box 10240, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, KY1-1002.

 

  (e) The HK Scheme Meeting will be held immediately thereafter at the offices of Ropes & Gray, 41/F One Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong.

 

  (f) The two Scheme Meetings will be linked by video conference to allow Scheme Creditors to attend both Scheme Meetings from either location.

 

  (g) Scheme Creditors will be able to dial-in to each of the HK Scheme Meeting and the CI Scheme Meeting using the Kaisa Dial-In Details.

 

  (h) Scheme Creditors should refer to Section 5 (Expected Timetable of Principal Events) of this Explanatory Statement to find out the specific times for each Scheme Meeting.

 

  (i) The Instruction Packet is at Appendix 2 (Instruction Packet) and will be made available to Scheme Creditors on the Scheme Website. Details of the actions the Scheme Creditors need to take are also set out in Part 6 (Scheme Creditors) of the Preliminary part of the Explanatory Statement.

 

  (j) The Instruction Packet includes (amongst other things) the Account Holder Letter, which allows the Scheme Creditors to vote on the Hong Kong Scheme and the Cayman Scheme. Failure to submit a valid Account Holder Letter will mean that the voting instructions contained in that Account Holder Letter will be disregarded and relevant Scheme Creditors will not be entitled to vote at the Scheme Meetings.

3.12 VIEWS OF THE DIRECTORS

For the reasons set out in this letter and in this Explanatory Statement, the Directors consider the Restructuring Proposal (as to be implemented by the Schemes) to be in the best interests of the Group and those with an economic interest in the Group, including the Scheme Creditors. Accordingly, the Company recommends that Scheme Creditors vote in favour of the Schemes at the Scheme Meetings.

 

Yours faithfully
 

 

For and on behalf of the Board

Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

 

4. OUTLINE OF KEY COMMERCIAL TERMS OF THE RESTRUCTURING PROPOSAL

 

 

 

4.1 Situation overview

 

  (a) The Restructuring Proposal described in this Explanatory Statement is the result of months of negotiations between the Group, the Onshore Lenders, the Offshore Creditors and other stakeholders following the difficulties originating in December 2014, when the Group experienced a series of unforeseen events that caused serious disruption to its business and created acute liquidity pressure, which events are described in this Explanatory Statement at Part 2 (Background to the Schemes).

 

  (b) In view of the challenges it faces, the Company has assessed a variety of restructuring alternatives, including restructuring of its Onshore Debt and Offshore Debt and changes to its ownership structure. The Schemes described herein represent the Restructuring Proposal (namely, as to the restructuring of the Company’s Offshore Debt) that is to be undertaken in conjunction with a restructuring of the Onshore Debt. More detail as to the proposed onshore restructuring is given at paragraphs 9.3(e) to 9.3(h) of this Explanatory Statement.

 

  (c) The Company believes that the Restructuring Proposal is in the best interests of all of its stakeholders because it will help stabilise the Company’s business and, in particular, is a necessary element of the Company’s in-principle agreement with the majority of its Onshore Lenders to restructure the Onshore Debt. In light of the challenging liquidity situation, the Company believes that an expedited, consensual restructuring pursuant to the Schemes, and the Restructuring Documents contemplated therein, is the most viable path for preventing a liquidation of the Group and, as such, best protects the economic position of its creditors.

 

  (d) The Company further believes that the Restructuring Proposal will allow the Company’s debt maturity profile to match projected cashflows and thus give the Company the opportunity to execute on its business plan and maximise value for its stakeholders.

 

  (e) Further details on the Group’s operations and financial conditions are set out in Part 4 (Overview of the Group) of and Appendix 10 (Financing of the Group) to this Explanatory Statement.

 

4.2 Summary of key commercial terms of the Restructuring Proposal

 

  (a) The Restructuring Proposal contemplates:

 

  (i) no impairment of principal debt claims; and

 

  (ii) upside sharing in the form of the CVRs (for those allocated the New HY Notes pursuant to Option 1 described below) and a reduced conversion price in any Exchange Convertible Bonds to be issued on the occurrence of the Automatic Exchange Transaction (for those allocated the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds pursuant to Option 3 described below).

 

28


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

  (b) With further detail given in Part 3 (Transaction Overview) of the Explanatory Statement, the key terms of the Restructuring Proposal are as follows.

 

  (i) Each Scheme Creditor who participates in the Scheme will be entitled to elect one or a combination of the following options for the treatment of its Scheme Claims:

 

  (A) Option 1 – New HY Notes and CVRs: Exchange some or all of its Scheme Claims for a pro rata allocation of each series of the New HY Notes at a ratio of 1:1 (Scheme Claims: New HY Notes) together with an allocation of associated CVRs;

 

  (B) Option 2 – New HY Notes only: Exchange some or all of its Scheme Claims for a pro rata allocation of each series of the New HY Notes at a ratio of 1:1.02598 (Scheme Claims: New HY Notes) with no allocation of any CVRs; or

 

  (C) Option 3 – Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds: Exchange some or all of its Scheme Claims for Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds at a ratio of 1:1 (Scheme Claims: Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds).

 

  (ii) If there are insufficient Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds available for issue to all those Scheme Creditors electing to receive Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds pursuant to Option 3 above, such Scheme Creditors shall be allocated the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds on a proportional basis with the balance of their entitlement being constituted by a pro rata share of either New HY Notes and associated CVRs; or New HY Notes only. Each Scheme Creditor will be requested to elect how such allocation should be made if there are insufficient Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds available.

 

  (iii) Interest shall be payable on the New HY Notes at the rates identified in the table below.

 

  (iv) CVRs will be issued to those Scheme Creditors who are allocated New HY Notes pursuant to Option 1 described above (and described in more detail at Part 3 (Transaction Overview) of this Explanatory Statement below) representing the contingent right to receive (subject to the terms and conditions of the CVRs) payment in cash or, at the election of the Company, in Common Shares in lieu of cash, with an aggregate notional value of 7.0% of the aggregate principal amount of such New HY Notes, and are to be issued in denominations of US$70 per CVR on the Exchange Date.

 

  (v) The CVRs will remain outstanding until 31 December 2021.

 

  (vi) The holders of CVRs will be entitled to a payment of US$14 for each CVR held upon the occurrence of each CVR Triggering Event, namely when the Implied Market Capitalization of the Common Shares exceeds a Market Capitalization Milestone. In respect of each successive CVR Triggering Event, such Market Capitalization Milestone is:

 

  (A) HK$10,075,000,000;

 

  (B) HK$12,594,000,000;

 

  (C) HK$15,742,000,000;

 

  (D) HK$19,678,000,000; and

 

  (E) HK$20,542,000,000.

 

29


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

  (vii) The Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds shall have a maturity date of 31 December 2019 (which may, at the option of the Company, be extended by one year to 31 December 2020) and interest shall be paid at the rates identified in the table below.

 

  (viii) In addition, upon the satisfaction of the Mandatory Exchange Conditions (which conditions are more particularly described in Part 3 (Transaction Overview) of this Explanatory Statement) the Automatic Exchange Transaction will occur, with the effect that the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds will be exchanged for Exchange Convertible Bonds in an aggregate amount equal to the then outstanding principal amount of Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds. The Exchange Convertible Bonds will provide for a conversion price of HK$2.34 per Common Share, subject to adjustment by reference to any events which would have caused that price to be adjusted had the Exchange Convertible Bonds been issued on the Exchange Date.

 

  (ix) Each of the New HY Notes Trustee (for the benefit of the holders of the relevant series of the New HY Notes), the New MEB Trustee (for the benefit of the holders of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds) and the Common Security Trustee will enter into the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement so as to provide that the security interest in the New Collateral will be shared on a pari passu basis among (i) the New MEB Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds (and any subsequent trustee with respect to the Exchange Convertible Bonds which are issued pursuant to the Automatic Exchange Transaction); (ii) the New HY Trustee for the benefit of the holders of each series of the New HY Notes; and (iii) any other creditors with respect to future Permitted Pari Passu Indebtedness.

Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

Note 1: Previous day

Note 2: Next day

Note 3: All Scheme Claims are determined as at the Record Time. The Company will be entitled to exercise discretion (acting reasonably) as to whether they recognise any assignment or transfer of Scheme Claims after the Record Time.

The dates in this timetable and mentioned throughout this Explanatory Statement assume that none of the Court hearings or the Scheme Meetings are adjourned or delayed. It is also possible that the registration of the orders of the High Court and the Grand Court sanctioning the Schemes may be delayed if any person appeals either order.

The Scheme Meetings will commence at the times stated. Where any Scheme Creditor or its proxy intends to attend any Scheme Meeting in person, that Scheme Creditor or its proxy (whomever is attending) must produce a duplicate copy of the Account Holder Letter executed and delivered on behalf of that Scheme Creditor, together with evidence of corporate authority (in the case of a corporation) (for example, a valid power of attorney and/or board minutes) and evidence of personal identity (for example, a valid original passport or other original government issued picture identification) at the registration desk before the scheduled time of each Scheme Meeting.

6. SCHEME CREDITORS

 

 

 

THE DIRECTORS URGE YOU TO VOTE TO APPROVE THE SCHEMES.

 

THE DIRECTORS ALSO ENCOURAGE YOU TO HELP FACILITATE APPROVAL OF THE SCHEMES BY BECOMING A PARTY TO THE RSA.

 

ONLY NOTEHOLDERS, CB HOLDERS AND EXISTING OFFSHORE LOANS CREDITORS ARE ENTITLED TO VOTE OR DIRECT OTHERS TO VOTE ON THE SCHEMES. IN ORDER TO ENSURE THEIR VOTES ARE COUNTED, SCHEME CREDITORS ARE STRONGLY ENCOURAGED TO FOLLOW THE PROCEDURE SET OUT IN THE INSTRUCTION PACKET.

 

6.1 Are you a Noteholder and/or CB Holder?

 

  (a) You are a Noteholder and/or CB Holder if you have the ultimate economic interest, whether as principal or beneficiary or otherwise, in the Existing HY Notes and/or the Convertible Bonds held in global form through the Clearing Systems, or any one of them, as at the Record Time and have a right, upon satisfaction of certain conditions, to be issued definitive notes and/or convertible bonds in accordance with the terms of the Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds.

 

  (b) In determining whether a particular person is the ultimate beneficial owner of any Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds, and therefore a Noteholder and/or CB Holder, entitled to a particular principal amount of Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds and related claims as aforesaid, the Chairperson and the Information Agent may rely on such evidence and/or information and/or certification as (s)he or it shall, in its absolute discretion, think fit and, if (s)he or it does so rely, such evidence and/or information and/or certification shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all concerned.

 

  (c) The number of Noteholders and/or Convertible Bonds voting and the votes cast by them will be taken into account for both value and numerosity purposes in relation to the Schemes.

 

6.2 Do you have an interest in the Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds in a capacity other than as a Noteholder and/or a CB Holder?

 

  (a) The following persons have an interest in the Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds even if they are not Noteholders and/or CB Holders, but are not entitled to vote on the Schemes in such capacity:

 

  (i) Account Holders: You are an Account Holder if you are recorded directly in the books or other records maintained by the Clearing System under its electronic systems, as holding an interest as at the Record Time in the Global Notes and/or Global Certificate in an account with that Clearing System. For the avoidance of doubt, an Account Holder may also be a Noteholder and/or CB Holder. However, Account Holders are not Noteholders or CB Holders unless and to the extent that an Account Holder has the ultimate economic interest, whether as principal or beneficiary or otherwise, in the Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds held in global form through the relevant Clearing System as at the Record Time and has a right to the issue of definitive notes and/or convertible bonds, as described above.

 

34


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

  (ii) Intermediaries: You are an Intermediary if you hold an interest as at the Record Time in any Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds on behalf of another person or other persons and you do not hold that interest as an Account Holder. An Intermediary is commonly a bank or a brokerage house which does not have an account with a Clearing System.

 

6.3 Are you an Existing Offshore Loans Creditor?

 

  (a) You are an Existing Offshore Loans Creditor if you are, as at the Record Time, the person entitled to receive payment in respect of any amount of the Existing Offshore Loans then outstanding, whether as an original lender pursuant to those facilities or as an assignee of any rights pursuant thereto.

 

  (b) In determining whether a particular person is or is not an Existing Offshore Loans Creditor, each of the Chairperson and the Information Agent may rely on such evidence and/or information and/or certification as (s)he or it shall, in its absolute discretion, think fit and, if the Chairperson and/or Information Agent do so rely, such evidence and/or information and/or certification shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on all concerned.

If you are a Noteholder and/or a CB Holder and/or an Existing Offshore Loans Creditor you should read this Explanatory Statement carefully. If you are a Noteholder and/or a CB Holder who is not an Account Holder you should contact your Account Holder (through any Intermediaries, if applicable) to ensure that your Account Holder takes the appropriate action described in paragraph 6.7 below and in the Instruction Packet, which is at Appendix 2 (Instruction Packet) to this Explanatory Statement.

The diagram on the following page illustrates the relationship between certain persons with interests in the Existing HY Notes and Convertible Bonds, which are held in global form through the Clearing Systems:

36


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

6.4 RSA

 

  (a) Prior to the date of this Explanatory Statement, namely on 10 January 2016, the Company launched the RSA. A summary of the terms of the RSA is set out at paragraph 9.6 of Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of this Explanatory Statement.

 

  (b) Scheme Creditors were invited to indicate their support for the Restructuring Proposal by acceding to the RSA and agreeing to vote in favour of the Schemes in return for which they will receive a Consent Fee. Any Scheme Creditor who acceded to the RSA before the relevant time will receive a Consent Fee equivalent to a percentage of the aggregate value of Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds and/or Existing Offshore Loans held by it as at the relevant date.

 

  (c) When the RSA was launched, it provided for a Consent Fee of 1% for Scheme Creditors acceding on or before 24 January 2016 and 0.5% for Scheme Creditors acceding after that date but before 7 February 2016. As at 8 February 2016, the aggregate value of claims of Scheme Creditors (calculated as at that date) in respect of which accession to the RSA had been made accounted for 58.3% of the total known principal value (excluding all accrued and unpaid interest) of the claims of Scheme Creditors (calculated as at that date).

 

  (d) As described in paragraph 9.3(k) of this Explanatory Statement, during this period the Company had received a proposal from Farallon and BFAM and (as stated in the 21 January 2016 Announcement) the Company continued to explore options in the interests of its stakeholders, which led to the current terms of the Restructuring Proposal being agreed. The negotiations also led to certain Scheme Creditors committing to vote in favour of the Schemes pursuant to arrangements separate to, but containing substantially similar terms to, the RSA, namely the Support Undertaking, including the right to receive a consent fee of 1% of the principal value of Existing HY Notes, Convertible Bonds and/or Existing Offshore Loans which the relevant Scheme Creditor committed to vote in favour of the Schemes.

 

  (e) Given that the terms of the Restructuring Proposal had changed from the terms stated in the schedule to the RSA made available to the public via the 10 January 2016 Announcement, and in order to give a fair chance to all Scheme Creditors to facilitate approval of the Schemes and be eligible for a Consent Fee in the same amount for doing so, the Company and the Initial Consenting Creditors Majority agreed to revise the RSA (as is permissible pursuant to its terms) such that:

 

  (i) all those Scheme Creditors who had acceded to the RSA after 24 January 2016 but before 7 February 2016 will be eligible for a Consent Fee of 1% instead of 0.5%; and

 

  (ii) the period during which Scheme Creditors are entitled to accede to the RSA in order to be eligible for a Consent Fee (also of 1%) was re-opened, with Scheme Creditors acceding on or before 23:59 on 23 March 2016 (Hong Kong time) being eligible.

The revision to the terms of the RSA as described above, including the re-opening of the period during which Scheme Creditors can accede to the RSA and thus become eligible for payment of a Consent Fee, was made public by the Company posting an announcement to that effect on the website of the SEHK on17 March 2016.

 

37


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Scheme Creditors to whom a Consent Fee will be payable and the timing for such payment will be determined according to the terms of the RSA and the Support Undertaking.

 

  (f) After the re-opened period to accede to the RSA had expired, Scheme Claims representing 96.25% in value of the aggregate of known Scheme Claims had committed to vote in favour of the Schemes.

 

  (g) The RSA will continue until the earlier of:

 

  (i) 31 July 2016 unless extended by mutual agreement with the consent of the Initial Consenting Creditors Majority (as defined in the RSA);

 

  (ii) the Restructuring Effective Date;

 

  (iii) the date of either of the Scheme Meetings if the requisite majorities to approve the relevant Scheme Meeting are not attained, save that the RSA shall not automatically terminate if such Scheme Meeting is adjourned to a date falling within 30 days of the initial Scheme Meeting and the relevant Scheme is approved at such adjourned Scheme Meeting by the requisite majorities of Scheme Creditors;

 

  (iv) a Sanction Hearing, if the Grand Court or the High Court (as applicable) does not grant an order sanctioning the relevant Scheme and there is no reasonable prospect of the Restructuring Proposal being effected and the Company has exhausted all avenues of appeal; and

 

  (v) other termination events provided for in the RSA.

 

  (h) Scheme Creditors who have not entered into the RSA at the date of this Explanatory Statement may still do so and are requested to contact the Information Agent using the contact details referred to in the Communications Policy.

 

6.5 Actions to be taken

Scheme Creditors are invited to vote at the Scheme Meeting by completing and delivering to the Information Agent the relevant Account Holder Letter set out in schedules 1 and 2 of the Instruction Packet. If you are a Noteholder and/or CB Holder who is not an Account Holder you should contact your Account Holder and direct such Account Holder to complete and deliver to the Information Agent the Account Holder Letter.

Detailed instructions on the actions which Noteholders, CB Holders, Existing Offshore Loans Creditor, Intermediaries and Account Holders should take are set out in this Explanatory Statement and the Instruction Packet, and are summarised below.

6.6 Key Dates

The following are the key dates which should be noted by Scheme Creditors wishing to vote at the Scheme Meetings:

 

  (a) 12 May 2016: Depositary Instruction Deadline for blocking the Existing HY Notes and the Convertible Bonds in the relevant Clearing Systems;

 

  (b) 18 May 2016: Voting Instruction Deadline for submitting the Account Holder Letter;

 

  (c) 20 May 2016: HK Scheme Meeting; and

 

  (d) 20 May 2016: CI Scheme Meeting.

 

6.7 Actions to be taken in relation to the Schemes

 

  (a) Each Noteholder and CB Holder that wishes to vote at the Scheme Meetings will be required to do the following:

 

  (i) in relation to Existing HY Notes and Convertible Bonds held at Euroclear and/or Clearstream, ensure its Account Holder has instructed Euroclear and/or Clearstream (as the case may be) to block the Existing HY Notes or Convertible Bonds, as applicable, which are the subject of the Account Holder Letter, and ensure that such Clearing Systems have received such instructions (with which it has/they have complied) by the Depositary Instruction Deadline; and

 

  (ii) in relation to Existing HY Notes held at DTC, ensure its Account Holder affixes its Signature Medallion Guarantee Stamp to the relevant part of the relevant Account Holder Letter, and in relation to Existing HY Notes held at, or previously held at, CMU, ensure its Account Holder signs the relevant signature block in the relevant part of the relevant Account Holder Letter. By doing so, the Account Holder confirms that it is instructed by the relevant Scheme Creditor to confirm to the Company and the Information Agent that such Scheme Creditor (i) holds the Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds detailed in the Account Holder Letter and will do so as at the Record Time; (ii) will not trade such Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds; and (iii) agrees that the Company shall be entitled to treat such Scheme Creditor (or its Designated Recipient) as the party entitled to receive any Scheme Consideration in respect of such holding of Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds.

 

  (b) The procedure for taking the above steps is described in paragraph 2.2 of the Instruction Packet, which paragraph also describes that the Existing HY Notes and Convertible Bonds so blocked shall be released from the requirement to be blocked on the earlier of:

 

39


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

  (i) The Restructuring Effective Date;

 

  (ii) the time of conclusion of the Scheme Meetings (including at any adjournment thereof) at which voting has taken place and the Schemes are not approved by the requisite majorities specified in section 674 of the Companies Ordinance or section 86 of the Companies Law; or

 

  (iii) the time of conclusion of the Sanction Hearings (including any adjournment thereof), if the Courts do not grant orders sanctioning the Schemes.

 

  (c) If you are a Noteholder and/or a CB Holder that is not an Account Holder and wish to vote at the Scheme Meetings, you should direct your Account Holder to complete the appropriate parts of the Account Holder Letter set out in Schedule 1 to the Instruction Packet and deliver the completed Account Holder Letter as soon as possible to the Information Agent and, in any event, so as to be received by the Voting Instruction Deadline, being 10:00pm (Hong Kong time) on 18 May 2016.

 

  (d) If you are a Noteholder and/or CB Holder that is an Account Holder and wish to vote at the Scheme Meetings, you should complete the appropriate parts of the Account Holder Letter set out in Schedule 1 to the Instruction Packet and deliver the completed Account Holder Letter as soon as possible to the Information Agent and, in any event, so as to be received by the Voting Instruction Deadline, being 10:00pm (Hong Kong time) on 18 May 2016.

 

  (e) If you are an Existing Offshore Loans Creditor and wish to vote at the Scheme Meetings, you should complete the appropriate parts of the Account Holder Letter set out in Schedule 2 to the Instruction Packet and deliver the completed Account Holder Letter as soon as possible to the Information Agent and, in any event, so as to be received by the Voting Instruction Deadline, being 10:00pm (Hong Kong time) on 18 May 2016. An Existing Offshore Loans Creditor executing an Account Holder Letter should note that the Account Holder Letter contains an undertaking that it will not assign, transfer or otherwise deal with its Existing Offshore Loans from the date of the Account Holder Letter until the Release Time. Such requirement ensures that all Scheme Creditors are treated the same, Noteholders and CB Holders having been required to submit appropriate instructions to block their Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds as described in paragraph 6.7(a) above.

 

  (f) Failure to deliver a valid Account Holder Letter by or on behalf of a Scheme Creditor by the Voting Instruction Deadline will mean that the relevant Scheme Creditor will, subject to the Chairperson’s discretion, not be entitled to vote at the Scheme Meetings or for any votes purported to be cast to be disregarded. An Account Holder may complete and submit an Account Holder Letter on behalf of a relevant Noteholder and/or CB Holder if the Account Holder has authority to do so.

 

  (g) The Schemes require the approval of a majority in number of the Scheme Creditors representing at least 75% in value of the Scheme Claims present and voting (in person, by a duly authorised representative, if a corporation, or by proxy) at each of the Scheme Meetings.

 

40


Explanatory Statement - Preliminary

 

 

  (h) It is important that as many votes as possible are cast at the Scheme Meetings so that the High Court and the Grand Court can be satisfied that there is a fair and reasonable representation of opinion of Scheme Creditors at the Scheme Meetings. You are therefore strongly urged to complete and sign, or direct your Account Holder to complete and sign, the relevant parts of your Account Holder Letter.

 

  (i) The amount of the Scheme Claims of each Scheme Creditor who submits a valid Account Holder Letter in respect of the Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds and/or Existing Offshore Loans, will be calculated for voting purposes as at the Record Time based on information confidentially provided to the Company by the Information Agent. This information will be used by the Chairperson to determine whether each resolution is passed at the Scheme Meetings.

 

  (j) The Company understands that each of the Existing Notes Trustee and/or the CB Trustee will not exercise any voting rights to which it may be entitled as a Noteholder and/or CB Holder at the Scheme Meetings unless instructed to do so in accordance with the Existing Indentures and/or the CB Trust Deed.

 

  (k) Completed Account Holder Letters should be delivered to the Information Agent. An Account Holder Letter should not in any circumstances be delivered to the Depositaries, the Existing Notes Trustee, the CB Trustee or the Company. None of the Depositaries, the Existing Notes Trustee, the CB Trustee, the Information Agent, the Company nor any member of the Group or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors or employees or any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects, irregularities or delays in any Account Holder Letter, nor will any of such entities or persons incur any liability for failure to give such notification.

 

  (l) A Noteholder and/or CB Holder and/or Existing Offshore Loans Creditor on whose behalf a duly completed Account Holder Letter is lodged prior to the Voting Instruction Deadline may still attend the Scheme Meetings.

Completed Account Holder Letters should be delivered to the Information Agent as soon as possible and in any event before the Voting Instruction Deadline being 10:00pm (Hong Kong time) on 18 May 2016 and in accordance with the Communications Policy as set out in the Preliminary part—Section 7 (Communications Policy) of this Explanatory Statement.

If you are in any doubt as to what action you should take in connection with this Explanatory Statement, the proposals contained in it or the documents that accompany it, you are recommended to seek your own independent advice immediately from your legal, financial, tax or other independent adviser.

 

6.8 The Common Depositary, the 2018 Notes Depositary, HKMA as operator for the CMU, the Existing Notes Trustee and the CB Trustee.

 

  (a) As stated above, the Company understands that the Existing Notes Trustee and the CB Trustee will not vote in respect of the Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds at the Scheme Meetings, unless instructed to do so by (as appropriate) the Noteholders in accordance with the Existing Indentures and/or the CB Holders in accordance with the CB Trust Deed.

 

  (b) As set out in this section 6 (Scheme Creditors) of the Preliminary part of, and in the Instruction Packet at Appendix 2 (Instruction Packet) to, this Explanatory Statement, the assistance of Account Holders will be required, in accordance with their custodial duties, to attend to the following tasks:

Explanatory Statement – Part 1 – Introduction to the Schemes

 

 

 

PART 1 – INTRODUCTION TO THE SCHEMES

 

 

 

8. INTRODUCTION TO THE SCHEMES

This section contains a brief overview of the Schemes. The summary information contained herein does not purport to be complete and should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by references to, the more detailed information presented elsewhere in this Explanatory Statement and in the Schemes.

 

8.1 Introduction

 

  (a) This Explanatory Statement has been prepared by the Company for the purpose of proposing the Schemes.

 

  (b) The Hong Kong Scheme and the Cayman Scheme are set out in Appendix 6 (Hong Kong Scheme Document) and Appendix 7 (Cayman Scheme Document), respectively.

 

  (c) The sections of this Explanatory Statement that describe certain of the Restructuring Documents are included for the convenience of Scheme Creditors. This Explanatory Statement should not be relied upon as a substitute for reading the Schemes themselves. If there is any inconsistency between the terms of the Schemes or any Restructuring Document, and this Explanatory Statement, the terms of the Schemes and/or the relevant Restructuring Document shall prevail.

 

8.2 Why have you been sent this document?

A copy of this document has been sent or made available to you because the Directors consider that you are or may be a Scheme Creditor. However, receipt of this document does not confirm or mean that you are a Scheme Creditor or that you will be affected by the Schemes.

 

8.3 What is a Scheme of Arrangement?

 

  (a) A scheme of arrangement enables a company to agree with its creditors, or one or more classes of its creditors, a compromise or arrangement in respect of its debts or obligations owed to those creditors. The court will consider whether it is appropriate to convene meetings of creditors or classes of creditors. In respect of the Cayman Scheme, on the application for leave to convene such meetings, the Grand Court will consider the composition of the classes necessary so as to ensure that each meeting consists of creditors whose rights against the Company which are to be released are not so dissimilar as to make it impossible for them to consult together with a view to their common interest. In respect of the Hong Kong Scheme, consideration of whether classes of creditors were properly constituted will be dealt with pursuant to the same test but at a later stage, namely when the High Court is asked to sanction the Hong Kong Scheme.

 

44


Explanatory Statement – Part 1 – Introduction to the Schemes

 

Hong Kong

 

  (b) In Hong Kong, a scheme of arrangement requires the following to occur in order for it to become legally binding:

 

  (i) the calling of a meeting of the Company’s creditors or meetings of classes of its creditors in accordance with directions given by the High Court;

 

  (ii) at each such meeting the approval of a majority in number representing at least 75% in value of the relevant creditors of the Company present in person or by proxy and voting at the meeting;

 

  (iii) the approval of the High Court by the making of an order sanctioning the scheme of arrangement; and

 

  (iv) the registration of an office copy of the High Court Order sanctioning the scheme of arrangement by the Hong Kong Companies Registrar.

Cayman Islands

 

  (c) In the Cayman Islands, a scheme of arrangement requires the following to occur in order for it to become legally binding:

 

  (i) the calling of a meeting of the Company’s creditors or meetings of classes of its creditors in accordance with directions given by the Grand Court;

 

  (ii) at each such meeting the approval of a majority in number representing at least 75% in value of the relevant creditors of the Company present in person or by proxy and voting at the meeting;

 

  (iii) the approval of the Grand Court by the making of an order sanctioning the scheme of arrangement; and

 

  (iv) the delivery of an office copy of the Grand Court Order sanctioning the scheme of arrangement to the Cayman Companies Registrar.

Hong Kong and Cayman Islands

 

  (d) If the Schemes are approved by the requisite majorities of creditors and sanctioned by the High Court and the Grand Court (as applicable), and the relevant orders sanctioning the Schemes are delivered (or registered, as appropriate) as set out above, the schemes of arrangement will bind all the creditors subject to them, including those Scheme Creditors who voted in favour of the relevant Schemes, those Scheme Creditors who voted against them, and those Scheme Creditors who did not vote at all.

 

  (e) A scheme of arrangement may not be sanctioned by the High Court and/or the Grand Court unless the relevant Court is satisfied, among other things, that (i) the scheme of arrangement is in all circumstances fair and reasonable and the classes of creditors voting in respect of the scheme of arrangement have been properly constituted; (ii) the provisions of the applicable statute have been complied with; (iii) each class of creditors was fairly represented by those who attended the meeting and the statutory majority are acting bona fide and are not coercing the minority in order to promote interests adverse to those of the class whom they purport to represent; and (iv) the arrangement is such as an intelligent and honest man, being a member of the class concerned and acting in respect of his interest, might reasonably approve.

 

45


Explanatory Statement – Part 1 – Introduction to the Schemes

 

 

  (f) In respect of the Schemes, the Scheme Creditors consist of those creditors of the Company with the ultimate economic interest in any of the Existing HY Notes, the Convertible Bonds or the Existing Offshore Loans. As stated at paragraphs 3.6(a) to (e) of this Explanatory Statement, the Company considers that the only realistic alternative to the successful implementation of the Schemes is for the Company to be placed into liquidation. In such circumstances, the relevant rights of creditors to be compared against the terms of a scheme are those which arise in an insolvent liquidation and the court will consider whether the rights which are to be released or varied under the scheme or the new rights which the scheme gives in their place are so different that the scheme must be treated as a compromise or arrangement with more than one class of creditors. In respect of the Schemes, all of the Scheme Creditors would rank pari passu in any distribution of the Company’s assets realised as a result of a liquidation of the Company. This is the case notwithstanding that unlike the remainder of the Scheme Claims, HSBC, in respect of the HSBC 2014 Loan and the HSBC ISDA, would not share in the Existing Collateral pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement given that, as referred to in the liquidation analysis, the Existing Collateral, being pledges over the shares of companies incorporated outside the PRC within the Group, would result in little or nil recovery, with the proceeds of the disposal of assets being mostly utilised for settlement of debts due to the Group’s onshore creditors. Given this, any party with the economic interest in the HSBC 2014 Loan or the HSBC ISDA is in the same position as all other Scheme Creditors as regards recovery in any liquidation of the Company. Furthermore, if the Schemes are successfully implemented, all Scheme Creditors are provided with the same opportunity to participate in the same Scheme Consideration by way of the election process described in Part 3 (Transaction Overview) of this Explanatory Statement. In these circumstances, the Company has formed the view that the Scheme Creditors form a single class for the purpose of the Schemes.

 

8.4 Structure and objectives of the Schemes

 

  (a) The Schemes are proposed in order to effect a compromise and arrangement, and a debt exchange, between the Company and the Scheme Creditors.

 

  (b) The principal compromises and arrangements to be given effect by the Schemes are the release in full of Scheme Claims of the Scheme Creditors against, amongst others, the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors.

 

  (c) The Schemes will give effect to the Restructuring Proposal, which has the following objectives:

 

  (i) to avoid placing the Company and other members of the Group into liquidation (or another insolvency process) at some point in the near future, as a result of which the anticipated recoveries for Scheme Creditors are significantly less than if the Restructuring Proposal were to be completed successfully;

 

  (ii) to reduce the risk of future default by the Company under its financial obligations in the short to medium term;

 

46


Explanatory Statement – Part 1 – Introduction to the Schemes

 

 

  (iii) to maximise possible recovery for Scheme Creditors and other stakeholders by avoiding liquidation and preserving the principal claims of Scheme Creditors;

 

  (iv) to adapt the financial commitments of the Group in the short to medium term to match its expected future cash generation; and

 

  (v) to increase the prospect of generating long-term value for Scheme Creditors and other stakeholders.

 

  (d) In order to implement the Restructuring Proposal and to effect the release and discharge of the aforesaid liabilities, the Directors have identified the need to launch the Schemes, which comprise the:

 

  (i) Hong Kong Scheme;

 

  (ii) Cayman Scheme; and

 

  (iii) grant of a Chapter 15 Recognition Order following the Recognition Filings, being a petition under Chapter 15 of the US Bankruptcy Code for recognition of the compromise and arrangement under the terms of the Hong Kong Scheme and/or the Cayman Scheme, save that the requirement for such order may be waived in accordance with the terms of the Schemes.

 

8.5 The Schemes are part of a larger cross border restructuring

 

  (a) In order to ensure that the Restructuring Proposal is effectively implemented in accordance with the law governing the Existing HY Notes the Company will make the Recognition Filing in the US Bankruptcy Court for a Chapter 15 Recognition Order in respect of the Hong Kong Scheme and /or the Cayman Scheme.

 

  (b) It is a condition to the Hong Kong Scheme that the Chapter 15 Recognition Order be granted, which condition may be waived by the agreement of the Company, with the prior written consent of the Existing Notes Trustee and, if there are any Initial Consenting Creditors, the Initial Consenting Creditors Majority (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld).

 

  (c) If the Chapter 15 Recognition Order is not granted by the US Bankruptcy Court, and the Schemes are approved but with a significant number of Scheme Creditors having voted against the Schemes, the Company may determine (if there are any Initial Consenting Creditors in consultation with the Initial Consenting Creditors Majority), that it is not appropriate in the circumstances to seek to exercise its right to waive the condition that the Chapter 15 Recognition Order be granted. In this scenario, the Restructuring Proposal may not be implemented and the Schemes would lapse on the Scheme Longstop Date.

 

  (d) If the Company seeks to exercise its right to waive the condition that the Chapter 15 Recognition Order be granted, but the Existing Notes Trustee and/or the Initial Consenting Creditors Majority (if there are any Initial Consenting Creditors) do not give their or its prior written consent thereto such that the waiver can take effect before the Scheme Longstop Date, the Scheme will lapse and have no effect.

 

47


Explanatory Statement – Part 1 – Introduction to the Schemes

 

 

  (e) The governing law of the Convertible Bonds and the obligation pursuant to the HSBC ISDA is English law. However, the Company has no assets or place of business within the jurisdiction of the English Courts and for this reason the Company considers that it is not necessary for a parallel scheme of arrangement to be promulgated in England. As described in more detail in this Explanatory Statement and the Scheme Documents, the Company’s liabilities in respect of the Convertible Bonds and the HSBC ISDA will nevertheless be restructured by implementation of the Schemes.

 

  (f) As dealt with in more detail in Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of this Explanatory Statement, in order for the Company’s obligations to be effectively restructured, it is also necessary for the Company to conclude and implement the restructuring contemplated with its Onshore Lenders.

 

8.6 Are you a “Scheme Creditor” for the purposes of the Scheme Meetings?

Information on which persons constitute Scheme Creditors and on the actions that Scheme Creditors are required to take under the Schemes are set out in section 6 (Scheme Creditors) of the Preliminary part of, and Appendix 2 (Instruction Packet) to, this Explanatory Statement.

 

8.7 Subsidiary Guarantors and Subsidiary Guarantor Pledgors

The Subsidiary Guarantors and Subsidiary Guarantor Pledgors shall execute a Deed of Undertaking, pursuant to which they will agree to appear by counsel at the Sanction Hearings and to undertake to the High Court and the Grand Court to be bound by the terms of the Schemes. In addition, pursuant to the Deed of Undertaking, the Subsidiary Guarantors and Subsidiary Guarantor Pledgors agree to execute and do or procure to be executed and done all such documents, acts or things as may be necessary or desirable to be executed or done by them for the purposes of giving effect to the Schemes.

In respect of those liabilities of the Subsidiary Guarantors and Subsidiary Guarantor Pledgors that are governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands, the Company has been advised that the Courts of the British Virgin Islands are likely to respect the Schemes and stay any action that is taken by any Scheme Creditor in that jurisdiction that would otherwise negatively impact or even nullify the effect of the Schemes.

 

8.8 The Scheme Meetings

 

  (a) The Company has obtained orders from the High Court and the Grand Court granting permission to convene meetings of the Scheme Creditors, who are entitled and encouraged to attend both the HK Scheme Meeting and the CI Scheme Meeting.

 

  (b) The majority required to approve the Schemes is a majority in number representing at least 75% in value of the Scheme Claims of the Scheme Creditors present and voting (whether in person or by proxy) at each of the Scheme Meetings.

 

  (c) The Scheme Meetings, subject to any adjournment as may be appropriate, will be held as follows:

 

  (i) The CI Scheme Meeting to be held at 8:00am (Cayman Islands time) on 20 May 2016 / 9:00pm (Hong Kong time) on 20 May 2016 at Harneys’ Cayman Islands office at 4th Floor, Harbour Place, 103 South Church Street, PO Box 10240, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, KY1-1002.; and

 

48


Explanatory Statement – Part 1 – Introduction to the Schemes

 

 

  (ii) once the CI Scheme Meeting has concluded, the HK Scheme Meeting is to be held at 9:30pm (Hong Kong time) on 20 May 2016 / 8:30am (Cayman Islands time) on 20 May 2016 at the office of Ropes & Gray at 41/F, One Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong.

 

  (d) The Scheme Meetings will be linked via video conference to allow Scheme Creditors to attend both Scheme Meetings from either location.

 

  (e) Scheme Creditors will also be able to dial into each of the HK Scheme Meeting and the CI Scheme Meeting using the Kaisa Dial-In Details.

 

  (f) Notices convening the Scheme Meetings are set out in Appendix 3 (Notices Convening Scheme Meetings) to this Explanatory Statement.

 

  (g) Scheme Creditors will be required to submit the relevant Account Holder Letter to be used for voting at the Scheme Meetings, the forms of Account Holder Letters being included as schedules to Appendix 2 (Instruction Packet) to this Explanatory Statement. If a Scheme Creditor has not delivered to the Information Agent a valid Account Holder Letter for the purpose of voting by the Voting Instruction Deadline then (subject to the discretion of the Chairperson as described in the following sub-paragraph) that Scheme Creditor will not be entitled to vote at the Scheme Meetings. Furthermore, if the Schemes are sanctioned and implemented, a Scheme Creditor who has not submitted a valid Account Holder Letter will be deemed to have made election in respect of the options available to Scheme Creditors as described in paragraph 8.8(i) of this Explanatory Statement.

 

  (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing sub-paragraph, the Chairperson will be entitled, at his/her sole discretion, to permit a Scheme Creditor in respect of which a completed Account Holder Letter has not been submitted to the Information Agent prior to the Voting Instruction Deadline to vote at the Scheme Meetings if the Chairperson is satisfied that the relevant Scheme Creditor has produced sufficient evidence that it is a Scheme Creditor and should be entitled to vote.

 

  (i) When voting at a Scheme Meeting whether in person, by proxy, or by instructions given to an Account Holder by way of a properly completed Account Holder Letter, each Scheme Creditor should also elect one of three options for receiving Scheme Consideration. The three options, and how the Scheme Consideration will be allocated, are dealt with in more detail in Part 3 (Transaction Overview) of this Explanatory Statement. Broadly, the three options allow each Scheme Creditor to elect:

 

  (i) Option 1 – New HY Notes and CVRs: Exchange some or all of its Scheme Claims for a pro rata allocation of each series of the New HY Notes at a ratio of 1:1 (Scheme Claims : New HY Notes) with new principal amounts, new maturity dates and new interest coupon schedules, as provided for in the terms of the New HY Notes and New Indentures and CVRs with a notional value equal to 7% of the aggregate principal amount of the New HY Notes to which such Scheme Creditor would be entitled under this clause, separately tradable as a single instrument on terms as provided for in the CVR Agreement;

 

49


Explanatory Statement – Part 1 – Introduction to the Schemes

 

 

  (ii) Option 2 – New HY Notes only: Exchange some or all of its Scheme Claims for a pro rata allocation of each series of the New HY Notes at a ratio of 1:1.02598 (Scheme Claims : New HY Notes) with new principal amounts, new maturity dates and new interest coupon schedules, as provided for in the terms of the New HY Notes and the New Indentures; or

 

  (iii) Option 3 – Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds: Exchange some or all of its Scheme Claims for Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds at a ratio of 1:1 (Scheme Claims : Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds) subject to the Cut-Back Mechanism described in Part 3 (Transaction Overview) of this Explanatory Statement in the event that there are insufficient Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds available for issue on the Exchange Date in accordance with the elections made by Scheme Creditors.

 

  (j) Each Scheme Creditor or its proxy will be required to register its attendance at the relevant Scheme Meeting prior to its commencement. Registration at the HK Scheme Meeting will commence at 8:30pm (Hong Kong time) on 20 May 2016 and registration at the CI Scheme Meeting will commence at 7:30am (Cayman Islands time) on 20 May 2016.

 

  (k) In determining the amount of a Scheme Creditor’s Scheme Claims for the purpose of voting at the applicable Scheme Meeting, the Chairperson of the meeting shall be entitled to rely on information provided by the Information Agent. The Scheme Claims admitted for voting purposes will be notified to the Scheme Creditors at the applicable Scheme Meeting, but such notification does not (of itself) constitute an admission of the existence or amount of any liability of the Company. If a Scheme Creditor disagrees with the value of the Scheme Claim attributed to it, it must notify the Chairperson. However, as described in 6.1(b) and 6.3(b) of this Explanatory Statement, the decision of the Chairperson is final as to the amount in respect of which any Scheme Creditor’s vote shall be counted.

 

  (l) Any Scheme Creditor or its proxy attending any Scheme Meeting in person will need to produce a duplicate copy of the Account Holder Letter executed and delivered on behalf of that Scheme Creditor together with evidence of corporate authority (in the case of a corporation) (for example, a valid power of attorney and/or board minutes) and evidence of personal identity (for example, a valid original passport or other original government issued picture identification) If appropriate personal identification and authorisation evidence is not produced, that person may not be permitted to attend or vote.

 

  (m) A Scheme Creditor’s professional advisers will be allowed to attend the Scheme Meetings if that Scheme Creditor notifies the Company of the name of the person(s) they wish to attend (using the contact details set out in the Communication Policy) 5 Business Days prior to the Scheme Meetings. The Chairperson of the Scheme Meetings will be entitled to require professional advisers to leave the applicable Scheme Meeting at his or her discretion.

 

8.9 Sanction Hearing for each of the Hong Kong Scheme and the Cayman Scheme

 

  (a) Hearings before the High Court in respect of the Hong Kong Scheme and before the Grand Court in respect of the Cayman Scheme will be necessary in order to sanction the Schemes, provided that the Scheme Creditors vote to approve by the requisite majorities stated above:

 

50


Explanatory Statement – Part 1 – Introduction to the Schemes

 

 

  (i) the Hong Kong Scheme at the HK Scheme Meeting; and

 

  (ii) the Cayman Scheme at the CI Scheme Meeting.

 

  (b) Any Scheme Creditor is entitled (but not obliged) to attend the hearings for sanction, through counsel, to support or oppose the sanction of the Hong Kong Scheme and/or the Cayman Scheme.

 

  (c) A hearing date to consider whether to sanction the Hong Kong Scheme has been reserved for 10 June 2016 at 2:30pm (Hong Kong time). The hearing date to consider whether to sanction the Cayman Scheme has been fixed by the Grand Court for 9 June 2016 at 9:30am (Cayman Islands time).

 

  (d) The Schemes will become binding on all Scheme Creditors, wherever they are and regardless of whether they have voted for or against the Schemes or whether they have voted at all, upon the occurrence of the following events, and subject to the conditions set out in the Schemes:

 

  (i) the High Court sanctioning the Hong Kong Scheme;

 

  (ii) a sealed copy of the Hong Kong Court Order being registered by the Hong Kong Companies Registrar;

 

  (iii) the Grand Court sanctioning the Cayman Scheme; and

 

  (iv) a sealed copy of the Grand Court Order being delivered to the Cayman Companies Registrar for registration.

 

8.10 A Scheme Creditor’s entitlement to receive the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds as applicable

 

  (a) In order for the Scheme Creditors to receive their entitlement to the New HY Notes (and associated CVRs in respect of those Scheme Creditors receiving New HY Notes pursuant to Option 1) and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds, two key events will need to have taken place:

 

  (i) the satisfaction and/or waiver of the conditions to the Restructuring Effective Date for the Schemes (see paragraph 8.10(b) and (c) below); and

 

  (ii) the Scheme Creditor has completed and returned a copy of the Distribution Confirmation Deed (as annexed to the Account Holder Letter), confirming, amongst other things that it is lawfully entitled to receive the New HY Notes and/or CVRs and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds as applicable (see paragraphs 8.10(d)(iii) and 8.10(f) below).

 

51


Explanatory Statement – Part 1 – Introduction to the Schemes

 

Conditions to the Restructuring Effective Date

 

  (b) Save for certain provisions of the Schemes, which shall become immediately effective, the Schemes will be effective on the date on which the following conditions are satisfied or (in the case of sub-paragraph (v) below) waived:

 

  (i) the sanction with or without modification of the Cayman Scheme by the Grand Court;

 

  (ii) a sealed copy of the Grand Court Order having been delivered to the Cayman Companies Registrar for registration;

  (ii) is a Prohibited Transferee, being a person who is prohibited from being allotted, issued with, holding, receiving or handling any Scheme Consideration pursuant to any applicable law or regulations or so prohibited except after compliance with conditions or requirements that the Company considers to be disproportionate to the value of the relevant Scheme Consideration; or

Explanatory Statement – Part 1 – Introduction to the Schemes

 

 

  (iii) has not provided to the Information Agent a validly completed Account Holder Letter including a validly completed Distribution Confirmation Deed from or on behalf of the relevant Scheme Creditor by the Voting Instruction Deadline, or such time following the Voting Instruction Deadline as the Company may decide in its absolute discretion (acting reasonably).

 

  (e) The Schemes permit a Scheme Creditor to irrevocably nominate a Designated Recipient as the recipient of all of the Scheme Consideration otherwise to be issued to such Scheme Creditor, provided that: (i) the Designated Recipient shall only be validly designated if it has submitted a Distribution Confirmation Deed; and (ii) a Scheme Creditor may designate only one such person and if such person is a nominee holder, it may only hold on behalf of one beneficial holder. A Designated Recipient Form for this purpose is annexed to the Account Holder Letter.

 

  (f) The Distribution Confirmation Deed includes (amongst other things):

 

  (i) a confirmation that each Scheme Creditor executing, or on whose behalf is executed, such deed, or its Designated Recipient, may legally and lawfully be issued with the New HY Notes, the CVRs and/or Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds as applicable; and

 

  (ii) a confirmation of the releases contained in the Schemes and the Deed of Release. The purpose behind seeking this confirmation is so that Scheme Creditors can be prevented from challenging any of the terms of the Schemes after they have received their entitlement of the Scheme Consideration.

 

  (g) If any of the factors in paragraph 8.10(d) applies, a Scheme Creditor’s entitlement to the Scheme Consideration will be issued to the Holding Period Trustee, who will hold the Scheme Consideration on trust pursuant to Scheme Consideration Trust for the relevant Scheme Creditor as applicable.

 

  (h) If a Scheme Creditor whose entitlement to the Scheme Consideration has been issued to the Holding Period Trustee, and that Scheme Creditor:

 

  (i) being a Disqualified Person or a Prohibited Transferee fails to provide the Information Agent and the Company with the required details of a Designated Recipient who is not a Disqualified Person or a Prohibited Transferee; or

 

  (ii) fails to provide the Information Agent or the Company (as applicable) with a validly completed Account Holder Letter including the Distribution Confirmation Deed;

within the Holding Period, together with, a request in writing to transfer the relevant Trust Securities to it (or its Designated Recipient) within the Holding Period then, upon the expiration of the Holding Period, the Holding Period Trustee will be authorised to sell such Scheme Consideration to a third party on arm’s length terms, and the net cash proceeds of such sale (after the deduction of the reasonable costs and expenses of the Holding Period Trustee in respect of such sale) will be paid to the relevant Scheme Creditor subject to receipt from such Scheme Creditor of a validly completed Accounting Holder Letter including the Trust Distribution Deed. If it is not possible to pay the net cash proceeds of sale to the Scheme Creditor by the Distribution Longstop Date, the Holding Period Trustee shall apply such proceeds in such manner as the Holding Period Trustee shall determine in its absolute discretion (including paying the monies into the High Court or gifting the same to such children’s charity as the Holding Period Trustee thinks fit).

  (i) Except to the extent required by law, no Scheme Creditor shall be entitled to challenge the validity of any act done or omitted to be done in good faith by the Scheme Supervisor in accordance with and to implement the provisions of the Schemes or the exercise by the Scheme Supervisor in good faith of any power conferred upon them for the purposes of the Schemes if exercised in accordance with and to implement the provisions of the Schemes.

If the amount of the Scheme Creditor’s Scheme Claim as determined by the Adjudicator is equal to or less than 110% of the amount determined by the Scheme Supervisor, then the Scheme Creditor shall pay all of the Adjudicator’s costs arising from such adjudication. If the Company is required to pay the Adjudicator’s costs in accordance with this paragraph 8.16, the Company shall reimburse the Scheme Creditor in respect of any costs paid to the Adjudicator by the Scheme Creditor in relation to such adjudication.

 

  (e) The Adjudicator, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall adopt such procedures as the Adjudicator may think fit, to enable him/her to decide whether the decision of the Scheme Supervisor should be upheld, reversed or varied. The Adjudicator will use reasonable endeavours to deliver notice of his/her decision to the relevant Scheme Creditor and the Scheme Supervisor as soon as practicable after the Scheme Creditor’s application for review.

  (b) Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing sub-paragraph, to ensure that the Schemes are consistent with each other, either of the Hong Kong Scheme or the Cayman Scheme may be modified in order to reflect any modification made to the other if, upon the sanctioning of such other Scheme, the High Court and/or the Grand Court, as the case may be, saw fit to modify the Hong Kong Scheme and/or the Cayman Scheme.

Building on its success in Huizhou in the Pearl River Delta region, the Company has also expanded into other areas in the PRC, including Shanghai, Hangzhou, Taizhou, Changzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing and Jiangyin in the Yangtze River Delta region; Chengdu, Chongqing and Nanchong in the Western China region; Changsha, Wuhan and Zhuzhou in the Central China region; and Shenyang, Yingkou, Benxi, Panjin, Anshan, Weifang, Liaoyang, Dalian, Dandong, Huludao and Qingdao in the Pan-Bohai Bay Rim. The Company also engages in property management, shopping mall and hotel operations and catering services. A detailed summary of the Group’s properties is provided at Appendix 13 (The Group’s Properties).

 

  (d) The Onshore Operations are financed in part by the Onshore Lenders. A high level overview of the financing of the Onshore Operations is set out in Appendix 10 (Financing of the Group) to this Explanatory Statement. In addition, and in order to further finance the Onshore Operations, the Company and certain Subsidiaries sought access to the international capital markets and obtained financing from the Offshore Creditors. The Offshore Creditors comprise those creditors who (i) own Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds; and (ii) are lenders under the Existing Offshore Loans (or assignees of those lenders’ interests). The claims of the Offshore Creditors are more fully described in Appendix 19 (Summary of Material Litigation) to this Explanatory Statement.

Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

9.2 The Group’s deteriorating financial condition

 

  (a) Since December 2014, the Group has experienced a series of unforeseen events that have caused serious disruption to its business, created acute liquidity pressure and strained the capital resources of the Group. A chronology of material events is set out in Appendix 15 (Chronology of Material Events) to this Explanatory Statement.

Sales blockages by the PRC authorities and suspension of mortgages to buyers

 

  (b) As disclosed in the 4 December 2014 Announcement, the Company at about that time became aware of Blockages with respect to certain unsold units of some property projects of the Group in Shenzhen, namely (i) Shenzhen Dapeng Kaisa Peninsula Resort, (ii) Shenzhen Kaisa Yuefeng Garden, and (iii) Shenzhen Kaisa Central Plaza (also known as Shenzhen Kaisa City Plaza). These projects were at the time being “pre-sold” but the processing and filing of sale and purchase agreements was blocked by the respective local branches of the Shenzhen Commission. The Company subsequently announced that an additional property project in Shenzhen (Shenzhen Shanhai Meiyu Garden, also known as Shenzhen Kaisa Qianhai Plaza) was also affected by the Blockages (see the 21 December 2014 Announcement).

 

  (c) In addition, the Company also disclosed in the 21 December 2014 Announcement that the relevant PRC government authority had also (i) imposed restrictions on the registration or filing of any transfers or pledges relating to the property rights of certain unsold units of three property projects in Shenzhen which are held for rental and/or self-use of the Group; (ii) not accepted routine applications for licences, permits, approvals, registrations and filings that are necessary during the different stages of development in respect of eight property projects in Shenzhen; (iii) suspended the processing of all planning-related and state-owned land-related applications and approval procedures relating to the Group’s construction projects in Longgang District; and (iv) imposed restrictions on transfers, or pledges, relating to two projects of the Group, namely the Shenzhen Yantian Project and the Shenzhen Golden Bay Resort Hotel. The restrictions, suspensions and refusals to accept applications described in this paragraph are for convenience referred to together in this Explanatory Statement as the “Restrictions”.

 

  (d) As a result of the Blockages and the Restrictions, a number of commercial banks across the PRC suspended the issuance of personal mortgage loans to purchasers of substantially all of the Group’s properties, significantly impacting the Company’s ability to sell units.

 

  (e) From the initiation of the Blockages to the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Board has had no basis to determine definitively what underlying circumstances led to the imposition of the Blockages and the Restrictions.

Onshore Creditor action

 

  (f) Due to the Blockages and the Restrictions, numerous Onshore Lenders and other creditors commenced applications to the relevant PRC courts for the preservation of assets of the Onshore Operations and obtained asset freeze orders against certain assets of the Group from the PRC civil courts. A high level overview of the actions taken by such creditors is provided below, and at Appendix 14 (Summary of Material Litigation) to this Explanatory Statement. As the events of late 2014 and early 2015 unfolded, the Company made various announcements on the SEHK website to disclose certain actions taken by creditors in the PRC. Set out below is a summary of certain events which were disclosed through the SEHK website at the material time.

 

67


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

Freezing of bank accounts

 

  (g) As set out in the 9 February 2015 Announcement, at 31 January 2015:

 

  (i) credit balances held across several Group bank accounts of (in aggregate) approximately RMB550 million were frozen by the relevant banks; and

 

  (ii) total credit balances of (in aggregate) approximately RMB725.6 million were applied by way of set off so as to reduce the amounts of the loans due from the Group to the Onshore Lenders.

Demand notices for payment received by the Group

 

  (h) By 31 January 2015, the Company had also received notices from certain of its creditors (including certain project partners) demanding immediate repayment of approximately RMB28 billion in aggregate. The Company disclosed these demand notices pursuant to the 9 February 2015 Announcement published on the SEHK’s website.

Preservation of assets applications by Onshore Lenders

 

  (i) As at 7 April 2015, a number of applications seeking the preservation of assets of the Group had been filed by the Onshore Lenders with the relevant PRC courts. In particular:

 

  (i) 28 civil rulings were made by the PRC courts pursuant to proceedings commenced by Onshore Lenders in respect of claims amounting to RMB14.8 billion in the aggregate; and

 

  (ii) 60 notices of participation to action had been filed against certain Subsidiaries comprising part of the Onshore Operations in respect of claims by the Onshore Lenders.

These actions were disclosed in the 13 March 2015 Announcement and the 9 April 2015 Announcement.

Court Judgments

 

  (j) By the 13 March 2015 Announcement, the Company disclosed that as at 12 March 2015, the Group had received four adverse court judgments from the relevant PRC courts, including:

 

  (i) A judgment against Shanghai Yingwan Zhaoye Property Development Co Ltd (“Shanghai Yingwan”), a subsidiary owned as to 51% by the Company, to freeze and seize a credit balance in an account held by Shanghai Yingwan, in an amount of RMB1,246,930,378.11 (the equivalent of approximately HK$1,489 million) in respect of an alleged breach of a loan agreement.

 

  (ii) A judgment against Hunan Daye Property Development Co Ltd (“Hunan Daye”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, to freeze assets of the Group in the amount of RMB1,140 million (the equivalent of approximately HK$1,361 million) in respect of an alleged breach of a loan and guarantee contract.

 

68


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (iii) A judgment against 佳兆業地產(遼寧)有限公司 (“Kaisa Property Liaoning”), a subsidiary of the Company, in relation to a case filed by a creditor of 佳兆業集團(深圳)有限公司 (“Kaisa Shenzhen”) for the repayment of a loan, guaranteed by Kaisa Property Liaoning, in the principal amount of RMB1,000 million plus interest and costs, for the alleged breach of the loan and guarantee contracts;

 

  (iv) A judgment against Shanghai Xinwan Investment Development Co. Ltd (“Shanghai Xinwan”) for repayment of RMB607 million (approximately HK$725million) in relation to alleged breach of share pledge and repurchase contracts, plus interest and costs.

In each case, the Company filed an objection with the relevant PRC court.

 

  (k) As at the date of this Explanatory Statement the status of the four judgments and related objections are as follows:

 

  (i) Shanghai Yingwan case – the Group reached a settlement with the claimant;

 

  (ii) Hunan Daye case – the Group received a judgment on execution on 31 August 2015 and subsequently the Group reached a settlement with the claimant;

 

  (iii) Kaisa Property Liaoning case – the Group reached a settlement with the claimant; and

 

  (iv) Shanghai Xinwan case – an arbitration ruling was received on 27 August 2015 In respect of the dispute of the shareholdings, the Group received the judgment dismissing the Group’s request.The Group subsequently reached a settlement with the claimant.

Arbitration

 

  (l) The suspension of government authority approvals for the Longgang Projects resulted in allegations by two project partners that the Group was in breach of two cooperation agreements. The project partners demanded immediate repayment of deposits paid by them, in the aggregate amount of RMB1.2 billion (approximately US$185 million). As disclosed in the 9 February 2015 Announcement, the Company received arbitration notices from the relevant arbitration authority in relation to the alleged breaches. Following receipt of the notices, the Group engaged PRC legal counsel to advise and to protect the interests of the Group. The Group is in communication with the relevant project partners of the Group in order to reach a resolution on this dispute as soon as possible through amicable negotiation and onshore restructuring.

Lifting of the Blockages and Restrictions

 

  (m) As disclosed in the 9 April 2015 Announcement, based on publicly available information from the website of the relevant PRC government authority, the Blockages on a majority of the unsold units on pre-sale had been lifted and/or released by that time. However, notwithstanding the fact that the Blockages and the Restrictions imposed by the relevant PRC government authority continued to be lifted, asset freeze orders granted by the PRC courts remained in place and the effect on the Company of the Blockages, Restrictions and asset freezes was severe, in particular as to its cash-flow

 

69


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

Challenging liquidity and cash position

 

  (n) The releasing or lifting of the Blockages and Restrictions took place without the Company being informed. As set out in the 8 March 2015 Announcement, as a result of the Blockages and the Restrictions and the actions by certain Onshore Lenders and other creditors as described above, cash collections from the Group’s property sales decreased from RMB2.1 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$2.5 billion or US$323 million) in November 2014 to RMB143 million (equivalent to approximately HK$171 million or US$22 million) in the month of February 2015.

 

  (o) As a result, the Company’s total cash balance decreased from RMB10.9 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$13.0 billion or US$1.7 billion) on 30 June 2014 to RMB1.9 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$2.3 billion or US$292.4 million) on 2 March 2015; a fall of approximately 83% over the period.

Resignation of Chairman Kwok, and other Directors and officers

 

  (p) Following the imposition of the Blockages and Restrictions, several key management personnel and over 170 employees resigned from the Group. On 10 December 2014, the Company announced that Chairman Kwok had also resigned as executive director and Chairman of the Board, chairman of the nomination committee a member of the remuneration committee of the Company, and an authorised representative of the Company. Chairman Kwok resigned for health reasons. Chairman Kwok’s resignation took effect from 31 December 2014. As discussed further below, Chairman Kwok’s health subsequently improved, which allowed him to reassume his roles with the Company and the Group, in April 2015.

 

  (q) Further, by 31 January 2015, the then chief financial officer of the Company, Mr Cheung Hung Kwong, and almost the entire finance team, accounting team and investor relations team had resigned from the Group. In addition, on 28 February 2015, Mr. Zhang Ji, who was in charge of the accounting and finance department, also resigned. Those Directors that remained on the Board were not familiar with the financing and accounting functions of the Group.

 

  (r) Furthermore, on 28 April 2015 Mr Guo Huasu, who was in charge of the Group’s treasury department and onshore fund raising, also resigned.

 

  (s) As set out in the 28 December 2014 Announcement and the 31 December 2014 Announcement, each of the senior management members who resigned confirmed that they had no disagreement with the Board and that there were no matters relating to their resignations that needed to be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company.

 

  (t) Mr Ye Lieli and Mr Sun were appointed co-chairmen of the Board with effect from 31 December 2014, but both ceased to be the co-chairmen of the Board with effect from 13 April 2015 when Chairman Kwok was reinstated as executive director and as Chairman of the Board.

Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

The Profit Warning and the 2014 Audit

 

  (u) The Company’s management was informed by Mr Sun that, on or around 14 February 2015, the Sunac Representative informed him that the Company’s interest bearing debts as at 31 December 2014 amounted to approximately RMB65.0 billion (an increase of approximately RMB 35.2 billion from the figure as at 30 June 2014) and that Sunac planned to update certain of the Onshore Lenders regarding this increase in the interest bearing debt during a meeting scheduled to take place on 16 February 2015.

 

  (v) The Board strongly objected to the disclosure of such a statement on the basis that such figure had not been verified by the Auditor. The Company contacted the Auditor for verification, but the Auditor had insufficient time to review the circumstances and advised the Board against the disclosure. Notwithstanding these objections, the Sunac Representative nevertheless informed certain of the Onshore Lenders that interest bearing debt had increased to RMB65.0 billion.

 

  (w) In the 16 February 2015 Announcement, the Company therefore announced the Profit Warning, namely that its total interest-bearing debt as at 31 December 2014 amounted to RMB65.0 billion.

 

  (x) The 16 February 2015 Announcement was made notwithstanding the view of the Board and of the Auditor that the figures should first be verified as the Company considered that the information was inside information and that because the Sunac Representative had provided it to certain Onshore Lenders, disclosure was necessary to ensure that the Company complied with its disclosure obligations under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance and the Listing Rules. Trading in the Common Shares was halted on 16 February 2015 whilst the 16 February 2015 Announcement was issued.

 

  (y) On 17 February 2015, the Auditor informed to the Board and the audit committee with regard to certain matters that had been brought to the Auditor’s attention by directors/senior management of the Company.

 

  (z) The 8 March 2015 Announcement referred to (amongst other things) issues raised by the Auditor and explained, with reference to the Profit Warning, that the Company’s total interest-bearing debt as at 31 December 2014 amounted to RMB65.0 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$77.6 billion), representing an increase of RMB35.2 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$42.0 billion) from 30 June 2014 and that this increase had resulted from, among other things:

 

  (i) requests for refund of advance proceeds (representing refundable pre-sale deposits received from independent third-parties including, in certain cases, with interest) received from some of the customers and other payables;

 

  (ii) non-controlling interests, which represent equity investment made by trust funds in relation to joint venture projects that are subject to fixed repurchase terms that would require adjustment in the accounts.; and

 

71


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (iii) an increase in borrowings incurred by the Company during this period.

 

  (aa) The 8 March 2015 Announcement also announced that approximately RMB29.8 billion (equivalent to approximately HK$35.6 billion) of the Company’s debt was due to mature within 12 months.

 

9.3 Actions taken by the Company and the Group

Appointment of the Kaisa Advisers and the formation of the Steering Committee

 

  (a) In response to the imposition of the Blockages and Restrictions and the consequent disruption to the Group’s operations, in or around February 2015 the Company engaged Houlihan (to act as its financial adviser), Sidley (as global legal adviser) and Harneys (as Cayman Islands and BVI legal adviser) to review the Company’s options with respect to the claims of the Offshore Creditors.

 

  (b) Around the same time, the Steering Committee (represented by K&E, as legal adviser, and Moelis as financial adviser) was formed which was comprised a total of four Noteholders and CB Holders.

 

  (c) The Company, together with the Kaisa Advisers, has been involved in extensive negotiations and discussions with the Steering Committee and the Steering Committee Advisers in relation to restructuring the Company’s offshore liabilities. As announced in the 6 November 2015 Announcement, the Steering Committee and the Company reached an agreement in principle on the term sheet enclosed in that announcement, which terms were then varied to those referred to in the 24 December Announcement. The RSA was then signed on 10 January 2016 by, amongst other, the Company and the Initial Consenting Creditor.

 

  (d) As described in paragraph 6.4(d) of this Explanatory Statement, subsequent to the announcement made to the SEHK that the RSA had been signed, the Company received an alternative proposal from BFAM, which was disclosed in the 21 January 2016 Announcement. The Company subsequently reached agreement with BFAM, Farallon and certain other creditors to vary the terms of the restructuring as announced in the 6 November 2015 Announcement and 24 December 2015 Announcement, resulting in the Restructuring Proposal being agreed in principle with those creditors and the Steering Committee. The RSA was consequently amended, and the period for acceding to it re-opened, as described in paragraph 6.4(e) of this Explanatory Statement and in the 17 March 2016 Announcement.

Negotiation with Onshore Lenders

 

  (e) The Company has also conducted extensive negotiations with its Onshore Lenders through an Onshore Creditor Committee consisting of seven of the largest Onshore Lenders. On 17 August 2015, these negotiations culminated in the entry into the Framework Agreement, which is subject to the Company reaching agreement with Offshore Creditors.

 

  (f) Shortly after the signing of the Framework Agreement, Bank of China, being the largest Onshore Creditor, holding approximately 22% of the Group’s Onshore Debt agreed to commercial terms of a restructuring of the Onshore Debt. As of the date of this Explanatory Statement, Onshore Lenders holding approximately 90% of the total Onshore Debt had either (i) entered into definitive agreements with the Company on restructuring terms, (ii) been repaid or (iii) held loans that were in good standing and did not require any restructuring.

 

72


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (g) The main terms of the Framework Agreement are:

 

  (i) that there will be no reduction in the principal debt;

 

  (ii) there will be extensions of maturity for three years, save for loans secured against investment properties;

 

  (iii) repayments of facilities with sufficient collateral to be in line with the progress of sales in respect of the relevant project;

 

  (iv) repayments of facilities which no longer have collateral or facilities where no collateral is provided for in the principal contract are based on bullet repayment at maturity;

 

  (v) for projects where there is insufficient collateral, repayment is to be based on a combination of (a) amortization based on sales progress; and (b) a bullet repayment at maturity;

 

  (vi) each creditor shall waive any penalty interest or penalty for breach of contract on any overdue debt accrued before the signing of the Framework Agreement;

 

  (vii) Onshore Lenders to withdraw all litigation, arbitration or enforcement proceedings and to take steps to “unfreeze” assets after amended loan agreements are signed;

 

  (viii) the offshore restructuring is to be completed as soon as possible, with the terms not to be superior to the terms of onshore restructuring agreements;

 

  (h) The Company is also aware that on 5 December 2015 members of the Steering Committee met with certain members of the Onshore Lenders Committee and the Company understands that there was broad agreement to support the Restructuring Proposal on its then terms, which terms have been improved following the further negotiations referred to above, leading to the Restructuring Proposal in its current form.

Options that the Company has considered

 

  (i) Prior to and during negotiations with the Steering Committee and the Onshore Lenders, the Company considered several options including the following:

 

  (i) New debt financing: The Company’s current credit profile makes it difficult to raise third party debt financing;

 

  (ii) New equity financing: Securing new equity financing from the Company’s existing shareholders is also not feasible. Chairman Kwok’s family has informed the Board that they are unlikely to be in a position to inject new equity. Given the existing issues facing the Company, and the fact that trading of the Common Shares on the SEHK has been suspended since 31 March 2015, raising equity from new third parties at a valuation by that would be acceptable to existing equity holders appears to be unachievable. The valuation implied by Farallon in it is indicative approach in November 2015 was not considered by the Board to reflect a reasonable valuation. Furthermore in relation to potential equity funding, the suspension of trading of its Common Shares faced by the Company would also prevent the issue of new equity;

 

73


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (iii) Potential buyers: the Proposed Sunac Transaction as set out in more detail at paragraphs 9.3(o) to 9.3(s) of this Explanatory Statement was explored but, for the reasons stated in paragraph 9.3(t) was not consummated. Other than Sunac, a number of other parties expressed a preliminary interest but none gave any indication of the terms and conditions, or even the consideration that would be offered; and

 

  (iv) Asset sales: as discussed in paragraphs 9.3(u) to 9.3(w) below, the Company explored the possibility of selling certain assets but for the reasons given, this strategy was not considered in the best interests of the Group and its stakeholders so was not pursued further.

 

  (j) In the circumstances, after considering the various alternatives, the Company and the Steering Committee determined that the Restructuring Proposal negotiated between them and certain other Offshore Creditors is the most promising alternative and to maximise value for the Scheme Creditors and other stakeholders.

 

  (k) As referred to above, and whilst the Restructuring Proposal was being negotiated, the Company was approached on 19 November 2015 by Farallon with a “Preliminary Non-Binding Proposal”, by which Farallon gave indication of a potential proposal said to have the support of certain holders of Existing HY Notes. For the reasons announced by the Company on the SEHK’s website by the 20 November 2015 Announcement, the Company did not consider that the approach from Farallon offered a viable alternative to the Restructuring Proposal.

 

  (l) After the Preliminary Non-Binding Proposal was first suggested on 19 November 2015 and further to the Company’s announcement on 20 November 2015, there were exchanges of correspondence between Farallon and the Company. Whilst Farallon did not expressly call for a change of senior management, it was apparent from the exchanges with them that this was their proposal. It was considered that the Company needs a stable and experienced senior management team to support any restructuring and manage the business out of its current predicament and that without the involvement of the existing senior management, the onshore restructuring will fail.

 

  (m) Given those reasons and given the Restructuring Proposal (on its then terms) was advancing with support from a number of Noteholders and CB Holders, including the Steering Committee, the Board did not consider the Farallon Preliminary Non-Binding Proposal should be accepted.

 

  (n) Furthermore, in January 2016 whilst the Company was in the process of preparing the necessary documentation in order to make the relevant applications to the High Court and the Grand Court for leave to convene the Scheme Meetings, another alternative proposal was received, from BFAM. Such proposal was made by BFAM in conjunction with Farallon and was based on the then Restructuring Proposal save that it provided for increased cash payments to be made in the first few years and also required a cash injection by Chairman Kwok or other major shareholders or third party lenders. As disclosed to the public by the 21 January 2016 Announcement, the Board gave due and careful consideration to this proposal but considered that it put undue pressure on the Company to seek additional financing which was not commercially viable. The Company therefore continued its work to progress the Restructuring Proposal in its then form. As described above, after further discussions, terms were agreed which led to a variation of the terms of the restructuring resulting in the formulation of the Restructuring Proposal in its current form.

Sunac and the Proposed Sunac Transaction

 

  (o) On 30 January 2015 the Selling Shareholders, namely Da Chang Investment Company Limited, Da Feng Investment Company Limited and Da Zheng Investment Company Limited, being corporate vehicles holding certain shares in the Company (then on trust for the beneficiaries of a discretionary trust concerning certain individuals, including Chairman Kwok), agreed to sell, and a subsidiary of Sunac agreed to purchase, the 2,529,196,133 Common Shares in the Company owned by the Selling Shareholders, which represented 49.25% of the Company’s issued share capital, for HK$1.80 per share in cash.

 

  (p) The Company announced details of the Proposed Sunac Transaction through the 6 February 2015 Announcement. Sunac, a SEHK listed entity, is an integrated residential and commercial property developer with a focus on high-end and high-quality property developments in selected cities in the PRC. The Proposed Sunac Transaction was entered into on the basis that once implemented, Sunac would be able to assist the Company to improve its distressed situation and rebuild market confidence in the Company.

 

  (q) In order to conduct its due diligence for the Proposed Sunac Transaction, a team of over 50 people was stationed by Sunac at the Company’s offices in Shenzhen. In addition, the Sunac Representative (a Sunac employee) was appointed Kaisa’s executive vice president to lead the Company’s accounting team (which, as noted in paragraph 9.2(p) of this Explanatory Statement, had been significantly depleted following the imposition of the Blockages and the Restrictions).

 

  (r) The completion of the Proposed Sunac Transaction was subject to a number of conditions that were required to be completed to the satisfaction of Sunac. These included (without limitation):

 

  (i) the resolution of the Company’s existing defaults, any event of default or any potential event of default under existing debt obligations of the Group;

 

  (ii) the restructuring of all, or part, of the Group’s existing debt, including a restructuring of the Group’s onshore and offshore liabilities;

 

  (iii) the resolution of the Group’s contractual disputes with project partners, lenders or other third parties;

 

  (iv) the resolution of the court applications by the Onshore Lenders described in paragraph 9.2(f) to 9.2(k) of this Explanatory Statement;

 

  (v) the waiver by the relevant creditors of any breaches of the terms of the Group’s existing debt that may result from the Proposed Sunac Transaction; and

 

  (vi) the resolution of any irregularities in the Group’s business operations.

 

  (s) Under the terms of the Proposed Sunac Transaction, the conditions stated above needed to be satisfied (unless waived by Sunac) by 31 July 2015.

 

75


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

Termination of the Proposed Sunac Transaction

 

  (t) The Company and Sunac worked together to satisfy the said conditions but ultimately, no agreement was reached as to restructuring terms with the Onshore Lenders within an appropriate time frame, and the Selling Shareholders and Sunac terminated the Proposed Sunac Transaction in accordance with the terms of the transaction documents with effect from 26 May 2015. The Company made an announcement to this effect by publishing the 28 May Announcement on the SEHK’s website.

Proposed Asset Sales

 

  (u) As disclosed by the 1 February 2015 Announcement, the Company had also explored the possibility of asset sales. On 30 January 2015, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Shanghai Xinwan Investment, entered into three agreements to dispose of its equity interest and shareholder loans in certain project companies to raise net proceeds for general working capital and increase the cash flow necessary for the Group’s daily operations. The proposed transactions related to the sales of (i) Shanghai Chengwan Zhaoye and Shanghai Yingwan Zhaoye project companies to Tianjin Tengyao; (ii) Shanghai Qingwan Zhaoye to Tianjin Tengyao; and (iii) Shanghai Rongwan Zhaoye to Tianjin Tengyao. The intended purchasers were subsidiaries of Sunac. The consideration was determined by reference to a valuation by an independent valuer as of 31 December 2014. The conditions to the transaction were announced in the 1 February 2015 Announcement, and included, amongst other things, obtaining various approvals from relevant PRC government and regulatory authorities and the release of all pledges and encumbrances on the equity interest of the project companies concerned.

 

  (v) It was subsequently considered that the conditions would not be met within a reasonable time and the proposed asset sale was formally terminated on 16 June 2015.

 

  (w) Aside from the proposed transactions described above, the Company determined that it was not feasible for the Group to sell other assets given that many properties were still subject to Blockages or freezing orders imposed by the PRC Courts. Furthermore, the Company was and still is concerned that a sale of any assets in the circumstances currently still facing the Group is unlikely to result in a fair market value being achieved for such assets.

Actions relating to the Profit Warning and 2014 Audit

 

  (x) As noted above, Chairman Kwok returned to his roles with the Company on 13 April 2015. The Sunac Representative and Sunac’s due diligence team left the Group shortly thereafter. After the departure of Sunac’s personnel and the Sunac Representative, the Company had only one junior employee on its accounting team.

 

  (y) The Company was required to issue the 2014 Annual Report to its shareholders by 30 April 2015. The 2014 Annual Report was not, however, issued by that date in order to allow time for the Auditor to carry out additional work in order to finalise the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2014 and understand the circumstances relating to the information disclosed by the 16 February 2015 Announcement and 8 March 2015 Announcement, including investigating the matters which had been raised by the Auditor

 

76


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (z) The Company therefore issued the 29 April 2015 Announcement stating that the Auditor had “indicated that they need additional audit evidence regarding certain matters so that they can complete the 2014 Annual Results”.

 

  (aa) After the reinstatement of Chairman Kwok on 13 April 2015, the Company took action to:

 

  (i) rebuild its accounting team, and re-hired a number of the Group’s employees who had previously resigned from other departments;

 

  (ii) address the issue of finalising the 2014 Annual Report;

 

  (iii) address the issue of finalising its preliminary interim results for the 6 months ended 30 June 2015 (due to have been published on 30 September 2015); and

 

  (iv) address the issues raised by the Auditor and as set out in the 16 February 2015, 8 March 2015 and subsequently, the 29 April 2015 Announcements. These steps included the following:

 

  (A) during June 2015, the Company appointed a member of staff with extensive experience in finance and treasury as the vice president of the Group to assist with the restructuring. Subsequently, he was appointed as chief financial officer of the Company effective 23 December 2015;

 

  (B) in or about April 2015, the Company also established the Independent Committee for the purpose of reviewing the draft audit and assisting the Auditor to finalise the audit and address the issues raised by it ;and

 

  (C) the Independent Committee hired professionals to assist its efforts, including a solicitor, accounting professionals in the PRC and, as described below, FTI to conduct a forensic examination.

 

  (bb) As set out in the 18 September 2015 Announcement the Auditor notified the Company that it was unable to resume its audit work until a number of issues were resolved, including obtaining a better understanding of the following:

 

  (i) the authenticity of certain documents that were presented to the Auditor during the audit process, and which could lead to a reclassification of certain non-interest bearing liabilities into interest-bearing liabilities;

 

  (ii) the nature and substance of cash payments to, and from, certain parties;

 

  (iii) the nature and substance of the repurchase or cancellation of certain sales contracts relating to properties under development, completed properties held for sale and proposed development projects that were previously sold or entered into by the Group;

 

  (iv) the commercial rationale behind the sale by the Group of certain subsidiaries located in Dongguan;

 

77


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (v) the reasons behind the re-designation of advance proceeds in the amount of RMB700 million due to the payors as other payables due to certain parties; and

 

  (vi) the status with respect to the restrictions on the sale by the Group of its property projects imposed by the Group’s creditors.

Suspension from trading on the SEHK

 

  (cc) Whilst the events above were taking place, the Company had, in the meantime, informed investors by the 31 March 2015 Announcement that trading in the Common Shares on the SEHK had been suspended with effect from 9am on 31 March 2015 until the publication of the 2014 Annual Report.

 

  (dd) The Company received notice from the SEHK setting out a number of conditions that the Company would be required to satisfy in order for trading in the Common Shares to resume. Those conditions were set out in the 23 July 2015 Announcement, and include:

 

  (i) publishing all outstanding financial results under the Listing Rules and addressing any audit qualifications;

 

  (ii) having sufficient working capital for its operations for at least 12 months from any expected resumption date;

 

  (iii) demonstrating that the Company has adequate financial reporting procedures and internal control systems to meet its Listing Rules obligations;

 

  (iv) investigating issues raised by the Auditor in the course of the audit, disclosing the findings of the investigation, assessing the impact on the Company’s financial and operational positions, and taking appropriate remedial actions; and

 

  (v) disclosing all material information for the shareholders and the investors to appraise the Group’s position.

Appointment of FTI

 

  (ee) In response to those issues disclosed by the 18 September 2015 Announcement, the Independent Committee engaged FTI to forensically examine the Company’s financial information and to assist the Independent Committee in reconciling the Company’s accounts. As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the work of FTI is ongoing and the Board understands that the Auditor will not resume its own work until FTI has completed its investigation.

Appointment of AlixPartners

 

  (ff) To further address the issues raised in connection with the Company’s financial information, the Company engaged AlixPartners to carry out the following work:

 

  (i) review the Unaudited Management Accounts;

 

  (ii) prepare a report, for inclusion in this Explanatory Statement, which includes:

 

78


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (A) a high level summary of the recent financial performance of the Group based on information made available by the Company and the representations of the Company’s management; and

 

  (B) results of their high level, analytical review of the base case cash flow forecast for the period ending 31 December 2020, highlighting they key risks, sensitivities and upsides to the forecast identified, including (if applicable) the outcome of sensitivity analysis prepared by the Company’s management.

 

  (gg) A copy of the AlixPartners Report is attached at Appendix 5 (AlixPartners Report) to this Explanatory Statement.

 

  (hh) Scheme Creditors should note that AlixPartners have not been engaged to carry out an audit of the Company’s financial position and will not be in a position to provide an opinion as to the veracity of information received from the Company or Kaisa Advisers. The AlixPartners Report has not been prepared in accordance with HKFRS, IFRS or generally accepted accounting principles in any other jurisdiction, and it should not be viewed as a substitute for audited consolidated financial statements. Moreover, Scheme Creditors should note the limitations of scope as set out in the AlixPartners Report and that the AlixPartners Report is provided to Scheme Creditors on a non-reliance basis.

 

9.4 The Group’s current financial position

The Company’s financial disclosure obligations

 

  (a) As stated above, the Company was required (by the Listing Rules) to publish its preliminary annual results for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 by 31 March 2015, the 2014 Annual Report by 30 April 2015 and its preliminary interim results for the six months ended 30 June 2015 by 30 September 2015. The Company announced on 29 April 2015 that the Board decided, after due and careful consideration, that it would not be appropriate for the Company to publish the 2014 Management Accounts at that time as it was expected that there may be significant adjustments to the 2014 Management Accounts and hence the 2014 Management Accounts may not accurately reflect the financial performance and position of the Group. The Board was therefore of the view that the publication of 2014 Management Accounts at that time could be confusing to the Shareholders and potential investors.

 

  (b) As a result of the above, the last set of financial statements of the Company to be made publicly available are those for the half year period ended 30 June 2014, which are contained in the 2014 Interim Report dated 20 August 2014, which was filed with the SEHK and is included at Appendix 16 (2014 Interim Report) to this Explanatory Statement. As is usual in the case of interim financial statements, the financial statements contained in the 2014 Interim Report were not subject to an audit, but were reviewed by the Auditor in accordance with the Review Standards.

 

  (c) The last set of audited financial statements of the Company to be made publically available are the 2013 Financial Statements contained in the 2013 Annual Report, which was filed with the SEHK and can be obtained from the SEHK website if required.

 

79


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (d) As discussed in paragraph 1.6 of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has prepared the 2014 Management Accounts and September 2015 Management Accounts, neither of which have been the subject of a completed audit in accordance with the Auditing Standards, nor reviewed in accordance with the Review Standards. Copies of the Unaudited Management Accounts are provided at Appendix 4 (Unaudited Management Accounts). Scheme Creditors are again referred to paragraph 1.6 of this Explanatory Statement as to the basis on which such information is being disclosed for the purpose of the Schemes and the disclaimers contained in such paragraph.

Asset and liability position of the Group

 

  (e) As noted above, the Company’s finance team, led by the Sunac Representative, provided information to Mr Sun that led to the Profit Warning disclosed in the 16 February 2015 Announcement. The Company and its current finance team have made adjustments to the 2014 Management Accounts based on comments of the Auditor. Although the Auditor has conducted certain work with respect to the 2014 Management Accounts, it has not finalised those procedures nor given any opinion on the 2014 Management Accounts.

 

  (f) As discussed in paragraph 1.6, given the ongoing investigations and examinations of the Independent Committee and FTI, the substantial turnover of staff in the Company’s accounting and finance team, and the present inability of the Auditor to complete the audit of the 2014 Management Accounts, neither the Company nor the Board represents or warrants that the Unaudited Management Accounts accurately reflect, or give a true and fair view of, the financial position and financial performance of the Group as at and for the year ended on 31 December 2014 or the nine months ended 30 September 2015. The Company and Board, furthermore, do not represent or warrant that the Unaudited Management Accounts have been prepared in accordance with the current HKFRS, IFRS or generally accepted accounting principles in any jurisdiction, nor that they comply with the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. The Board expects that there may be significant adjustments to the Unaudited Management Accounts, and therefore neither the Company nor the Board can represent or warrant that the Unaudited Management Accounts are free from material misstatement.

An overview of the Group’s asset and liability position based on the September 2015 Management Accounts is summarised below.

 

80


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

Assets

 

  (g) The September 2015 Management Accounts state that the Group’s total current assets, were RMB 104,003 million (equivalent to approximately US$16 billion) (the “Current Assets”) and total non-current assets were RMB 13,020 million (equivalent to approximately US$2.0 billion) (the “Non-Current Assets”).

Liabilities

 

  (h) The September 2015 Management Accounts state that the Group’s total current liabilities were approximately RMB 96,828 million (equivalent to approximately US$14.9 billion) (the “Current Liabilities”) and total non-current liabilities were approximately RMB 10,272 million (equivalent to approximately US$1.6 billion) (the “Non-Current Liabilities”).

The Onshore Lenders

 

  (i) As described in more detail in paragraph 9.1(d) of this Explanatory Statement, certain of the PRC incorporated entities that carry out the Onshore Operations are indebted to the Onshore Lenders in an aggregate amount of approximately RMB48.1 billion (equivalent to approximately US$7.4 billion) (the “Onshore Debt”) as at 31 December 2014. Since the reinstatement of Chairman Kwok with effect from 13 April 2015, the Company and the Company’s finance team have undertaken a review process to substantiate and confirm the amounts outstanding to the Onshore Lenders, in particular given the matters set out in the 16 February 2015 Announcement. This review process is currently ongoing and is being carried out in conjunction with the restructuring negotiations with the Onshore Lenders (as described in paragraphs 9.3€ to 9.3(h) of this Explanatory Statement). Therefore, the amounts outstanding to the Onshore Lenders remain subject to the Auditor completing the audit of the 2014 Management Accounts and are subject to adjustment. It should be noted, however, that the negotiations regarding the Company’s restructuring (in terms of both the Restructuring Proposal for Offshore Creditors and the restructuring with the Onshore Lenders) have all been conducted on the basis of the increased debt figure being RMB 65.0 billion referred to at paragraph 9.2(v).

 

  (j) The Onshore Debt is governed by the laws of the PRC. Under these financing arrangements, virtually all of the onshore properties and land use rights of the Onshore Operations have been pledged to the Onshore Lenders. The claims of the Offshore Creditors are structurally subordinated to the claims of the Onshore Lenders. Any enforcement by the Onshore Lenders would cause significant loss of value and allow very little, if any, recovery to the Offshore Creditors. The Company believes that agreeing and implementing restructuring terms to compromise the Onshore Debt is imperative to deleveraging the Company’s balance sheet and permitting the Restructuring Proposal to be implemented. The Steering Committee Advisers have not seen copies of the onshore finance documents.

 

81


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

The Offshore Creditors

 

  (k) As described more fully in paragraph 9.1(d) of this Explanatory Statement, in order to finance the operations of the Group, the Company has periodically raised funds through the international capital markets. For the period from September 2012 to June 2014, the Company issued the Existing HY Notes as constituted by the Existing Indentures; issued to the CB Holders the Convertible Bonds as constituted by the CB Trust Deed; and entered into the Existing Offshore Loans.

 

  (l) The Company’s liability pursuant to the HSBC ISDA relates to a liability arising from the early settlement of a foreign currency exchange swap transaction. For the purpose of the Schemes, and this Explanatory Statement, the liability is included within the definition of Existing Offshore Loans.

 

  (m) The Company’s obligations under the Existing HY Notes, the Convertible Bonds and the Existing Offshore Loans (save for the HSBC 2014 Loan and HSBC ISDA) are guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Subsidiary Guarantors, as listed in Appendix 17 (List of Subsidiary Guarantors and List of Subsidiary Pledgors). The Subsidiary Guarantors are also highlighted in grey in the Corporate Structure Chart at Appendix 18 (Corporate Structure Chart). In total, there are currently 68 Subsidiary Guarantors of which 35 are incorporated in Hong Kong and 33 incorporated in the BVI. No PRC incorporated subsidiaries have provided any guarantee in respect of the Existing HY Notes, the Convertible Bonds or the Existing Offshore Loans. No future subsidiaries to be incorporated under the laws of the PRC will be required to provide any such guarantee under the Indentures and the CB Trust Deed.

 

  (n) Certain of the Subsidiary Guarantors are also Subsidiary Guarantor Pledgors. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors Pledgors, as the case may be, have pledged the Existing Collateral held by them in certain Subsidiaries to the Existing Notes Trustee, the CB Trustee and/or the Common Security Trustee pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. The Subsidiary Guarantor Pledgors are marked with an asterisk (*) in the Corporate Structure Chart at Appendix 18 (Corporate Structure Chart).

 

  (o) In addition to the 68 Subsidiary Guarantors listed in Appendix 17, there are a further 6 companies within the Group (3 incorporated in Hong Kong and 3 incorporated in the BVI) which had previously provided such guarantees, but which guarantees were released when those companies were disposed of by the Group during 2011. In late 2014, the Group reacquired those companies but no new guarantees were executed. These companies indirectly hold interests in 4 property-owning PRC subsidiaries. The GFA of properties owned by such operating subsidiaries is only 14,730 square metres in aggregate, with a net book value of approximately RMB 80.3 million, per the Unaudited Management Accounts. These Companies do not guarantee any other indebtedness of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiaries. In these circumstances, the terms of the Existing Indentures do not require the Company to procure such companies to re-execute subsidiary guarantees.

 

  (p) Under the Intercreditor Agreement, the Secured Parties include (amongst others) the Existing Notes Trustee, the CB Trustee and the Common Security Trustee, HSBC and ICBC in respect of the Existing Offshore Loans (save for the HSBC 2014 Loan and HSBC ISDA), and PAG pursuant to the PAG Facility. There is no outstanding liability of the Company under the PAG Facility. However PAG has not yet been released as a Secured Party under the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

82


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (q) Pursuant to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Noteholders, the CB Holders and the Existing Offshore Loans (save in respect of the HSBC 2014 Loan and the HSBC ISDA) have equal priority in respect of, and a pro rata entitlement to, the Existing Collateral.

Other guaranteed obligations of the Company

 

  (r) In addition, the Company also guaranteed the indebtedness of certain of the Subsidiaries (either solely or jointly and/or severally with subsidiaries in the Group). As of 30 September this included 27 onshore financing obligations of Subsidiaries in the PRC; the ICBC 2011 Loan; and the ICBC Paris Loans. All of these liabilities are dealt with as part of the onshore restructuring.

Events of default under the Offshore Debt

 

  (s) Although the relevant government authorities agreed to lift certain of the Blockages and Restrictions, the legal actions taken by certain Onshore Lenders and other creditors and related asset freezes ordered by the PRC courts severely impacted the Group’s ability to generate income to service its debts under the Indentures, the CB Trust Deed, the Existing Offshore Loans, and its Onshore Debt. As noted, the Company relies on its PRC incorporated subsidiaries to conduct the Group’s property development business. Accordingly, the revenue and cash generated by the property development business are held by such PRC subsidiaries. The ability of the PRC subsidiaries to make distributions to their shareholders is restricted by PRC laws and the restrictive covenants in the loan agreements pursuant to which such subsidiaries are borrowers. In view of the various issues, including the Blockages and Restrictions and the freezing of assets, there was insufficient cashflow within the Group and, consequently, the Company was and is unable to service its debts.

 

  (t) On 1 January 2015 the Company received the HSBC Notice, by which HSBC claimed that Chairman Kwok’s resignation as chairman had triggered the mandatory prepayment provision in the HSBC 2013 Loan and demanded the immediate repayment of all outstanding amounts (including accrued interest) due pursuant to the HSBC 2013 Loan as at 31 December 2014. On 7 January 2015, the Company received the HSBC Waiver Notice waiving the alleged default claimed in the HSBC Notice so as to allow the Company to formulate a viable repayment proposal.

 

  (u) During the period from 1 January 2015 to the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Company has failed to make various coupon or other payments due under the Existing HY Notes, the Convertible Bonds and the Existing Offshore Loans. As at 30 September 2015, the principal amounts outstanding under the Existing HY Notes, the Convertible Bonds, the Existing Offshore Loans are as follows:

 

  (i) in respect of the Existing HY Notes, the sum of US$2.227 billion which is broken down as follows:

 

  (A) RMB 1,800,000,000 in respect of the 2016 Notes;

 

  (B) US$250,000,000 in respect of the 2017 Notes;

 

  (C) US$800,000,000 in respect of the 2018 Notes;

 

  (D) US$400,000,000 in respect of the 2019 Notes; and

 

83


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (E) US$500,000,000 in respect of the 2020 Notes;

 

  (ii) in respect of the Convertible Bonds, the principal sum of US$231,604,305 being the aggregate face value of the Convertible Bonds that fell due upon their maturity on 20 December 2015, the RMB-denominated amount having been converted to US$ on 17 December 2015 in accordance with the terms of the CB Trust Deed;

 

  (iii) in respect of the HSBC 2013 Loan, the sum of approximately HK$360,000,000 (excluding all accrued and unpaid interest), equivalent to approximately RMB 301.6 million or approximately US$46,427,650);

 

  (iv) in respect of the HSBC 2014 Loan, the sum of RMB317,208,565 (equivalent to approximately US$48,823,100);

 

  (v) in respect of the HSBC ISDA, the sum of US$12,466,730; and

 

  (vi) in respect of the ICBC 2013 Loan, the sum of HK$155,000,000 (equivalent to approximately US$ 19,989,683).

 

  (v) As stated in paragraph 9.4(p) above, the onshore restructuring will incorporate relevant treatment of the Company’s contingent liability in respect of the guarantees given in respect of the onshore subsidiaries’ liabilities and such contingent liability does not, therefore, form part of the Restructuring Proposal or the Scheme.

 

  (w) Further, the ICBC 2011 Loan and the ICBC Paris Loans have the benefit of a standby letter of credit issued by the Shenzhen Shen Dong branch of ICBC (“ICBC Shenzhen”). Consequently, it is intended that the contingent liability of the Company as guarantor of the ICBC 2011 Loan and the ICBC Paris Loans will also be included in the onshore restructuring, with the effect that the ICBC 2011 Loan and the ICBC Paris Loans do not form part of the Restructuring Proposal. As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, these arrangements are yet to be concluded, but this is expected to occur by 2016.

The O&M Demand

 

  (x) On 16 September 2015, the Company received the O&M Demand from O&M. O&M claimed to act for “a group of holders of a significant value of senior notes and convertible bonds issued by [the Company] “. The O&M Demand demanded immediate payment of the outstanding interest. In addition, the O&M Demand stated that “if [the Company] fails to make full payment of the outstanding interest within 21 days of the date of this letter, [their clients] will deem Kaisa unable to pay its debts as they fall due”.

 

  (y) Sidley, on behalf of the Company, wrote to O&M on three occasions requesting a meeting and inviting a constructive dialogue with the view of achieving a consensual restructuring. Each of these requests was either rejected or unanswered. The Company believes that the correspondence from O&M was sent on the instructions of Farallon.

 

  (z) On 8 October 2015, Sidley received a letter from O&M which stated, amongst other things, that “[their clients] are actively considering taking further steps against [the Company] in regard to its failure to pay its debts and that they may seek to enforce any of their rights against [the Company] at any time, including but not limited to the right to present a petition for the winding up of [the Company] and the right to accelerate the [Notes]”.

 

84


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

Projected cashflows

 

  (aa) The Company’s liquidity position has been significantly impaired in light of the business disruptions and onshore litigation described above. As a result, and notwithstanding that the Blockages, Restrictions and asset freezes continue to be lifted so as to enable normal operations to resume, the Company’s liquidity is expected to remain limited in the near to medium term even if the Group’s business recovers from the challenging operating environment it has experienced.

 

  (bb) In August 2015, with the assistance of its advisers, Houlihan Lokey, the Company prepared a business plan and cash flow forecast for the period from August 2015 to December 2020 (“Business Plan”) for the purpose of negotiating a restructuring plan with Onshore Lenders and Offshore Creditors. Certain assumptions in the Business Plan have since been updated on the basis that both the Onshore Restructuring and the Offshore Restructuring are implemented as currently proposed. The operating assumptions have not been updated since August 2015.

 

  (cc) As part of the restructuring discussions, the Business Plan (in its then form) was provided to the Onshore Creditor Committee and the Steering Committee’s financial advisor. It formed the basis of negotiations on a restructuring plan that the Company’s cash flows could be expected to support. The Business Plan demonstrates that the arrangements proposed to be implemented through the Schemes and the Onshore Restructuring should enable the Company to meet debt service obligations and reduce its debt to a more manageable level over time.

 

  (dd) The Business Plan is based on numerous estimates and assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate, resulting in the projections not being achieved. Key risks factors are summarized in Part 6 (Risk Factors) of this Explanatory Statement.

 

  (ee) The material information contained in the Business Plan is summarised below:

 

  (i) The Company’s medium term business strategy entails a greater emphasis on primary residential products and narrowing of geographic focus to development in core Tier 1 cities, including Shenzhen and Guangzhou, while gradually exiting lower tier cities as projects are completed and monetized. The Company will seek to dispose of investment properties and other non-core assets over the next three years to generate additional liquidity to fund its core strategy. It will also seek to leverage its strong urban redevelopment project pipeline to enhance growth and improve profitability in the medium-term.

 

  (ii) The financial projections (as shown in the table below) built on a “bottom-up” basis to forecast cash flows using project-, phase- and corporate-level assumptions. The following is a summary of key assumptions used to prepare the forecast:

Negotiation with Creditors

 

  (ff) As noted in paragraphs 9.3(b) and 9.3(c) of this Explanatory Statement, in June 2015, the Company commenced discussions with the Steering Committee through the Steering Committee Advisers. Over the following months, Moelis conducted financial due diligence on limited data provided by the Company, including a review of the Business Plan (in its then form). In early September 2015, the Company, along with Houlihan and Sidley, submitted an initial restructuring proposal to the Steering Committee Advisers. Subsequently, members of the Steering Committee Advisers executed a confidentiality agreement and a period of extensive negotiations commenced on the restructuring proposal. A number of in-person meetings took place and counter proposals were exchanged between the parties during the course of September and October 2015, which ultimately culminated in the Steering Committee executing a non-binding letter of support in favour of the Restructuring Proposal (on its then terms) that was publicly announced by the Company on 6 November 2015, as varied per the 24 December 2015 Announcement. Subsequent negotiations with the Steering Committee Advisers and certain other Offshore Creditors, including BFAM and Farallon, led to the Restructuring Proposal in its current form being agreed.

 

88


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (gg) The Company has also engaged in extensive negotiations with its Onshore Lenders. The Onshore Creditor Committee, consisting of seven of the largest Onshore Lenders holding approximately 63% of the total Onshore Debt, entered into the Framework Agreement on 17 August 2015. As described at paragraphs 9.3(e) above, the Framework Agreement is subject to the Company reaching agreement with Offshore Creditors as soon as practicable on terms not superior to the terms agreed with Onshore Lenders. Following execution of the Framework Agreement, the Company and its advisers have engaged in bilateral negotiations with each Onshore Lender, and as of 20 March 2016, Onshore Lenders holding approximately 90% of the onshore debt had reached agreement with the Company on restructuring terms or had debt that had either been repaid or did not require restructuring. For the avoidance of doubt, the total onshore debt taken into account to arrive at the figure of 90% is as at 31 December 2014 and includes debt which is assumed for the purposes of the Business Plan would be dealt with by turning over certain projects to creditors in return for the cancellation of the relevant debt. Certain of the Onshore Lenders have also committed to and/or expressed an interest in extending additional financing to the Company following completion of both the onshore and offshore restructurings.

 

  (hh) The onshore restructuring will be completed following execution of amended and restructured credit facilities with each of the Onshore Lenders. Material progress has been made in this regard and the Company expects to complete the onshore restructuring process in advance of completion of the Schemes.

Intercompany Claims

 

  (ii) As set out in paragraph 11.6 of Part 4 (Overview of the Group), the Group has substantial intercompany receivables and payable balances owing between different entities within the Group. Any intercompany claims against the Company will remain unimpaired under the Schemes. However, over 90% of the intercompany debts payable by the Company are due to two entities only, namely Tai He Sheng Investment Company Limited and Dong Sheng Investment Company Limited. Both of these companies have given undertakings that they agree to the amount due to them being subordinated to creditors external to the group.

 

9.5 The Financial Review by Alix Partners

In accordance with the scope of work described at paragraphs 9.3(ff) to 9.3(hh) above, the Company has engaged AlixPartners to undertake a review of its financial information. The AlixPartners Report is provided in Appendix 5 (AlixPartners Report) to this Explanatory Statement.

 

9.6 The RSA

 

  (a) The RSA became effective and binding on 10 January 2016, on which date the RSA was executed by the Company, the Group Companies party thereto and the Initial Consenting Creditors and has been subsequently amended.

 

89


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (b) The RSA provides that each Consenting Creditor will, amongst other things:

 

  (i) to the extent applicable, comply with the Restructuring Terms at the time and in the manner set out therein;

  (iii) to vote and deliver within any applicable time periods any proxies, instructions, directions or consents in respect of all Supporting Notes held by it as at the Record Time, including (without limitation) voting all Supporting Notes held by it in favour of and taking all steps necessary to vote in favour of the Schemes, in such manner as is reasonably required to implement the Restructuring, and not to change or withdraw (or cause to be changed or withdrawn) such vote;

 

  (iv) to provide reasonable support and assistance to the Company to prevent the occurrence of an Insolvency Event in respect of any Group Company including, without limitation, supporting any application, filing and/or petition to the courts of any jurisdiction in connection with the same, including but not limited to filing any evidence in support of the Company’s opposition by a creditor seeking to commence any adverse action;

 

  (v) to the extent any Insolvency Event occurs in respect of any Group Company in any relevant jurisdiction, to use reasonable endeavours to implement the Restructuring through the relevant Insolvency Proceedings and ensure that the Restructuring (if implemented) is recognized in all relevant jurisdictions;

 

  (vi) to notify the Company of any change (whether an increase or decrease) to the aggregate principal amount of its Supporting Notes as soon as reasonably practicable;

 

  (vii) to withhold from taking any Enforcement Action;

 

  (viii) not to object to the Scheme or any application to the Court in respect thereof or otherwise commence any proceeding to oppose or alter any of the Restructuring Documents filed by the Company in connection with the confirmation of the Restructuring, except to the extent that such Restructuring Documents are inconsistent with the Restructuring Terms;

 

  (ix) not to take any actions inconsistent with, or that would delay approval or confirmation of, the Restructuring or any related documents, except to the extent that the Restructuring and any related documents are inconsistent with the Restructuring Terms; and

 

  (x) not to formulate, encourage, procure or otherwise support any alternative proposal or alternate offer for the implementation of the Restructuring or to otherwise engage in any discussions or take any action which would delay or impede any approvals for the Restructuring.

 

90


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (c) The RSA provides that the Company and the Group Companies party thereto agree to take all steps that are reasonably necessary to implement the Restructuring Proposal by no later than 31 July 2016 unless extended by mutual agreement with the consent of the Initial Consenting Creditors Majority. In particular, pursuant to the terms of the RSA the Company and its relevant Subsidiaries agree to (amongst other things) take the following steps:

 

  (i) progress the Restructuring as soon as possible in accordance with the terms set out in the RSA;

 

  (ii) negotiate or prepare, in each case, in good faith, the Restructuring Documents so that the Restructuring may be implemented as soon as reasonably practicable;

 

  (iii) comply with the Restructuring Terms at the time and in the manner set out therein;

  (v) make all securities and other filings and announcements and publish all documents and make all submissions required in connection with the matters contemplated by the RSA as and when necessary to comply with all applicable laws;

 

  (vi) use all reasonable endeavours to provide such assistance as may reasonably be required by the Consenting Creditors for the purpose of any regulatory or statutory clearance in connection with the Restructuring;

 

  (vii) promptly notify the Consenting Creditors if, since the date of the RSA, there have been any changes, events, or circumstances which could adversely affect the business, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Group Companies such that any of the Group Companies may not be able to perform its material obligations in accordance with the Restructuring Terms;

 

  (viii) execute and/or deliver, within any applicable time period, all documents, agreements, instructions, proxies, directions, and consents, and file all notices, and take such other action that is consistent with or reasonably required to implement the Restructuring;

 

  (ix) other than pursuant to the Restructuring Terms, refrain from taking any steps to do or in relation to supporting or preparing:

 

  (A) any proposed restructuring, reorganisation, arrangement, composition, or other restructuring procedure or issuance of equity or any right or instrument with an equivalent effect in respect of any Group Company;

 

  (B) any attempt by any person to acquire all or substantially all the assets of the Group Companies; and/or

 

  (C) any petitions, applications or other documents in relation to any Insolvency Proceedings;

 

91


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (x) upon request by the Steering Committee Advisers, promptly supply to the Steering Committee Advisers:

 

  (A) the aggregate number of Consenting Creditors and the aggregate amount of Supporting Notes which together they represent;

 

  (B) the aggregate number of Supporting Creditors and the aggregate amount of “Supporting Notes” under and as defined in the Support Undertaking which together they represent;

 

  (C) updates regarding the status of the events set out in Clause 15.2 of the RSA (Individual Consenting Creditor Termination) and the corresponding clause(s) of the Support Undertaking; and;

 

  (D) any other documents or information related to the Group Companies and its operations and finances reasonably requested by the Steering Committee Advisers;

 

  (xi) to the extent necessary and/or desirable in connection with the Restructuring, use reasonable efforts to procure that each of its Subsidiaries take all necessary steps required to support, and refrain from taking any action which would conflict with, the Restructuring; and

 

  (xii) comply with the terms of all applicable fee letters between the Steering Committee Advisers and the Company.

 

  (d) The RSA also provides that the RSA will terminate immediately upon the occurrence of any of the following events (amongst others):

 

  (i) the occurrence of the Restructuring Effective Date;

 

  (ii) the occurrence of the Longstop Date being 31 July 2016 in the RSA; or

 

  (iii) the requisite voting majorities to approve the Schemes are not attained at the Scheme Meetings, provided that the RSA shall not terminate if the Scheme Meeting is adjourned to a date falling within 30 days of the date of the Scheme Meeting and the Scheme is approved at such adjourned meeting.

 

  (e) The RSA shall also terminate as against any one Consenting Creditor (but shall continue as against the other parties to the RSA) in certain circumstances including but not limited to:

 

  (i) at the election of the Company, by the delivery of a written notice of termination to a Consenting Creditor, if that Consenting Creditor does not comply with any undertaking in the RSA in any material respect, unless the failure to comply is capable of remedy and is remedied within five Business Days of delivery of such notice of termination by the Company to the relevant Consenting Creditor, and in such circumstances the termination shall be with effect from immediately after the five Business Days but only if the failure to comply is not remedied within the five Business Days;

 

  (ii) if that Consenting Creditor sells, transfers, assigns or otherwise disposes of all of its Supporting Notes in accordance with Clause 10 of the RSA;

 

92


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (iii) if, following receipt of a restructuring proposal from any third party, the Initial Consenting Creditors Super-Majority (acting reasonably), or, if there are no Initial Consenting Creditors, the Consenting Creditors Super-Majority (acting reasonably), determines that such proposal is an economically superior proposal for the financial restructuring of the Existing HY Notes, the Convertible Bonds and the Existing Offshore Loans and provided that such proposal is not subject to any financing or diligence contingencies and is otherwise unconditional and irrevocable, and has reasonable prospects of being effected; or

 

  (A) at the election of a Consenting Creditor, by the delivery of a written notice of termination to the Company:

 

  (B) if any one or more Scheme Creditor(s) (in such context, collectively, the “Blocking Creditor”) provides evidence satisfactory to the Company and the relevant Consenting Creditor (each acting reasonably) that such Blocking Creditor:

 

  (I) holds (or advises or manages one or more Scheme Creditor(s) who hold(s)) more than 25% of the aggregate claims against the Company in respect of any of the Existing HY Notes, Convertible Bonds and the Existing Offshore Loans; and

 

  (II) will oppose the Restructuring and vote against the Schemes in respect of all such claims against the Company;

 

  (C) if an Insolvency Event occurs and that Consenting Creditor determines (acting reasonably) that there is no reasonable prospect of the Restructuring being effected through the relevant Insolvency Proceedings;

 

  (D) if any of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors do (does) not comply with any provisions in the RSA in any material respect, unless the failure to comply is capable of remedy and is remedied within five Business Days of that notice;

 

  (E) if the Company and the Initial Consenting Creditors Majority (and/or the Steering Committee Advisers on their behalf) or, if there are no Initial Consenting Creditors, the Consenting Creditors Majority (and/or the Steering Committee Advisers on their behalf), have not agreed the final form Restructuring Documents (other than any new security documents, legal opinions and/or other ancillary documents to be entered into, each of which shall be based substantively on the existing forms of such documents with appropriate amendments to refer to the new debt instruments to be issued pursuant to the Restructuring and/or update references therein to applicable laws and regulations) on or before 17 February 2016 (subject to clean up amendments made prior to the date of any hearing to convene creditor meetings for any Scheme), unless such date is extended by the Company and Initial Consenting Creditors Majority (each acting reasonably) or, if there are no Initial Consenting Creditors, the Consenting Creditors Majority (acting reasonably);

 

93


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (F) if the Court fails to grant an order convening the Scheme Meeting on or before 30 April 2016, unless such date is extended by the Company and the Initial Consenting Creditors Majority (each acting reasonably) or, if there are no Initial Consenting Creditors, the Consenting Creditors Majority (acting reasonably);

 

  (G) if, after the date of this the RSA, an event occurs which has a Material Adverse Effect; and

 

  (H) if any Enforcement Action is taken in respect of any of the Existing HY Notes, Convertible Bonds or Existing Offshore Loans.

The above is a summary only of the principal terms of the RSA which will be construed according to its terms.

 

  (f) As described in paragraph 9.3(n) of this Explanatory Statement, in January 2016 the Company had received a proposal from Farallon and BFAM, which approach subsequently led to the current terms of the Restructuring Proposal being agreed. The negotiations also led to certain Scheme Creditors committing to vote in favour of the Schemes pursuant to arrangements separate to, but containing substantially similar terms to, the RSA, namely the Support Undertaking, including the right to receive a consent fee of 1% of the principal value of Existing HY Notes, Convertible Bonds and/or Existing Offshore Loans which the relevant Scheme Creditor committed to vote in favour of the Schemes.

 

  (g) Given that the terms of the Restructuring Proposal had changed from the terms stated in the schedule to the RSA made available to the public via the 10 January 2016 Announcement, and in order to give a fair chance to all Scheme Creditors to facilitate approval of the Schemes and be eligible for a Consent Fee in the same amount for doing so, the Company and the Initial Consenting Creditors Majority agreed to revise the RSA (as is permissible pursuant to its terms) such that:

 

  (i) All those Scheme Creditors who had acceded to the RSA after 24 January 2016 but before 7 February 2016 will be eligible for a Consent Fee of 1% instead of 0.5%;

 

  (ii) The period during which Scheme Creditors are entitled to accede to the RSA in order to be eligible for a Consent Fee (also of 1%) was re-opened, with Scheme Creditors acceding on or before 23 March 2016 being eligible.

 

  (h) The revision to the terms of the RSA as described above, including the re-opening of the period during which Scheme Creditors can accede to the RSA and thus become eligible for payment of a Consent Fee, was made public by the Company posting an announcement to that effect on the website of the SEHK on 17 March 2016.

 

  (i) After the re-opened period to accede to the RSA had expired, Scheme Claims representing 96.25% in value of the aggregate of known Scheme Claims had been committed to vote in favour or the Schemes.

 

  (j) For the avoidance of doubt, the Scheme Creditors to whom, and when, a Consent Fee will be payable will be determined according to the terms of the RSA.

 

94


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

9.7 Consequences of failure to implement the Restructuring Proposal

 

  (a) As stated by the 26 January 2016 and 25 February 2015 Announcements, the position regarding Blockages and the asset freezes pursuant to PRC court orders has continued to improve. In particular, the 26 January 2016 Announcement disclosed that a total of 31,256 square metres GFA, involving 320 units, remain subject to the Blockages but that the Company understands that the principal reason for this residual Blockage is to protect the interest of the buyers of such units, the buyers having only entered into provisional sale and purchase agreements with the Group.

 

  (b) Notwithstanding these improvements in the situation regarding Blockages and asset freezes, the Directors believe that, should the Restructuring Proposal not be implemented, the Company would be unable to comply with its obligations under the Existing Indentures, the CB Trust Deed and the Existing Offshore Loans, which is likely to result in certain Scheme Creditors pursuing enforcement action against the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors in respect of their outstanding obligations. In that event, unless the Directors are able to satisfy themselves that an alternative financial restructuring is likely to be successful (which the Directors consider very unlikely given the negotiations and efforts made to date in respect of the Restructuring Proposal and the lack of available funding on reasonable terms), the Directors would be required to make, or cause the Company and/or the Subsidiary Guarantors to make, an application to the relevant court to place the Company and/or the Subsidiary Guarantors into liquidation (including Official Liquidation) or other appropriate insolvency proceedings, in order to facilitate an orderly winding up and realisation of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors for the benefit of creditors.

 

  (c) In forming the view that the Restructuring Proposal is in the best interests of the Scheme Creditors and other stakeholders of the Company, the Directors considered all relevant information available to them, and sought appropriate legal and financial advice. This included instructing Deloitte to prepare the Liquidation Analysis. The Liquidation Analysis comprises an illustrative analysis of the possible outcomes for Scheme Creditors in the event that the Restructuring Proposal is not implemented, and a hypothetical liquidation of the Company and the subsidiaries in their respective jurisdictions is conducted. Any reference in this Explanatory Statement to the Liquidation Analysis is a summary only. The outputs, methodology and key assumptions underpinning the Liquidation Analysis are set out in more detail in Appendix 8 (Liquidation Analysis) of this Explanatory Statement.

 

  (d) The Liquidation Analysis is the result of a significant amount of analysis and diligence undertaken by Deloitte and the Company’s management. It was prepared so the Directors could assess the possible outcome to creditors of the Company and form a view of the estimated net realisations in the event of hypothetical liquidations. The Liquidation Analysis is based on the financial information and balance sheets on an entity by entity basis provided by management as at 30 September 2015. The Liquidation Analysis is derived from a number of projections and is based upon estimates and assumptions which may vary materially from any eventual outcome in a liquidation scenario.

 

95


Explanatory Statement – Part 2 – Background to the Schemes

 

 

  (e) The Liquidation Analysis illustrates that the estimated return to unsecured creditors of the Company on liquidation as only 0.37% on the base case scenario. As stated by Deloitte in its report, the Liquidation Analysis was carried out by considering 103 companies within the Group, out of a total of over 400 companies. The 103 companies examined are stated in the Liquidation Analysis to represent 100% of the properties and projects currently held by the Group and 100% of the Group’s interest-bearing borrowings. However, the Company has subsequently determined that of the 4 property-owning onshore subsidiaries indirectly owned by the 6 companies reacquired by the Group in late 2014 (as discussed in paragraph 9.4(o) of this Explanatory Statement), one such subsidiary was not included in the review conducted for the Liquidation Analysis. Nevertheless, the Company believes that there would be no, or no material, difference to the outcome of the Liquidation Analysis as the GFA owned by such onshore subsidiary is only 1,850 square metres, being less than 0.01% of the Group’s total land bank.

 

  (f) In accordance with the Company’s understanding that the entirety of any surplus amounts arising from the liquidation of operating entities would be utilised to meet claims of creditors of the intermediate holding companies (direct and indirect) of each entity where a surplus is identified, the Liquidation Analysis arrives at an estimated return to the Company’s creditors of 0.37% on this basis. However, for the purpose of considering liquidation as an alternative to the Restructuring Proposal, the Liquidation Analysis also identifies other possible scenarios, as described in Deloitte’s report. Of those scenarios, that which would result in the highest estimated return to creditors assumes that a listing premium applies (namely, that value could be extracted for the benefit of creditors from the SEHK listing status of the Company); that it would be possible to conduct sales over a 12 months marketing period; and that the entirety of any surplus arising from the liquidations of operating subsidiaries is treated as flowing to the Company. In that scenario (which is considered to be unrealistic) the estimated return to creditors would still only be 14.71%; a significant increase from the 0.37% estimated on the base case scenario but still only a small recovery compared to that which will result from the Restructuring Proposal if it is successfully consummated and the Company is able to operate as envisaged.

 

  (g) It should be noted that the actual recoveries to Scheme Creditors in a liquidation of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be dependent on a range of factors and issues, and may be better or worse than the estimated returns in the Liquidation Analysis. In addition, the timing of asset realisations and distributions on an entity by entity basis in a liquidation scenario is unknown and is likely to vary depending on the applicable insolvency procedures. Furthermore, the Liquidation Analysis does not take into account the potential recoveries which could be made in the event that the liquidators in a liquidation of the Company and its Subsidiaries should choose to pursue claims against any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ Personnel, other Affiliates or advisers (which claims are to be released under the terms of the Schemes, save in the case of fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, dishonesty, wilful default or wilful misconduct). Accordingly, the Liquidation Analysis should be considered directional and illustrative in nature, and the actual recovery in a liquidation scenario could vary materially from the estimates contained in the Liquidation Analysis (as summarised above).

 

  (h) Having considered the advice referred to above (and without any waiver of privilege in respect of that advice), the Directors are of the opinion that in the event the Restructuring Proposal does not complete, the Company, together with certain other Subsidiaries within the Group, will be insolvent or will be deemed to be insolvent under the laws of the jurisdictions in which they are incorporated.

10.2 Overview of the Restructuring Proposal

The Restructuring Proposal contemplates an extension of maturities and a reduction in the near-term cash interest expense on the Existing HY Notes, the Convertible Bonds and the Existing Offshore Loans, which will result in a realignment of the Company’s debt maturity profile to match projected cash flows and provide the Company with the ability to maximise value for its stakeholders over time. Additionally, the Restructuring Proposal contemplates:

 

  (a) no impairment of principal debt claims (which the Company will be obliged to repay in full over time); and

 

  (b) upside sharing in the form of the CVRs (for those allocated the New HY Notes pursuant to Option 1, described below) and a reduced conversion price in the Exchange Convertible Bonds issued on the occurrence of the Automatic Exchange Transaction (for those allocated the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds).

10.3 Scheme Consideration

In exchange for the Scheme Claims being released and discharged, each Scheme Creditor will be entitled to elect one or more of the following options for treatment of their Scheme Claims:

 

  (a) Option 1 – New HY Notes and CVRs

Exchange some or all of their Scheme Claims for:

 

  (i) New HY Notes at an exchange ratio of 1.00000x (e.g., $1,000 of Scheme Claims equal to $1,000.00 in New HY Notes) with new principal amounts, new maturity dates and new interest coupon schedules, as summarized in paragraph 10.4(a) below. The covenants, guarantees and collateral under the New HY Notes will be substantially similar to those provided under the Existing HY Notes; and

 

  (ii) CVRs, separately tradable as a single instrument as summarized in paragraph 10.4(b) below, which will provide upside sharing in the event that one or more trigger events occur.

Scheme Creditors who fail to submit a valid election by the applicable deadline in relation to any of their Scheme Claims will be deemed to have elected Option 1 for all such Scheme Claims represented by Existing HY Notes and Existing Offshore Loans.

 

  (b) Option 2 – New HY Notes Only

Exchange some or all of their Scheme Claims for New HY Notes at an exchange ratio of 1.02598x (e.g., $1,000 of Scheme Claims equal to $1,025.98 in New HY Notes) with new principal amounts, new maturity dates and new interest coupon schedules, as summarised in paragraph 10.4(a) below. The covenants, guarantees and collateral under the New HY Notes will be substantially similar to those provided under the Existing HY Notes.

 

  (c) Option 3 – Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds

Exchange some or all of their Scheme Claims for Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds at an exchange ratio of 1.00000x (e.g., $1,000 of Scheme Claims equal to $1,000.00 in Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds subject to the Cut-Back Mechanism described below in the event the MEB Election Amount exceeds the Maximum MEB Amount) on the terms summarised in paragraph 10.4(c) below.

Scheme Creditors who fail to submit a valid election by the applicable deadline in relation to any of their Scheme Claims will be deemed to have elected Option 3 for all such Scheme Claims represented by Convertible Bonds subject to the Cut-Back Mechanism described below.

 

98


Explanatory Statement – Part 3 – Transaction Overview

 

 

  (d) Cut-Back Mechanism

On the Exchange Date, if the MEB Election Amount is greater than the Maximum MEB Amount, then:

 

  (i) any Scheme Claim that is to be exchanged for Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds pursuant to an election for Option 3 shall be exchanged for Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds with a principal amount equal to the product of the amount of such Scheme Claims, multiplied by the quotient of the Maximum MEB Amount, divided by the MEB Election Amount; and

 

  (ii) the portion of Scheme Claims electing Option 3 that were not exchanged for Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds pursuant to the preceding sub-paragraph (i) (“Residual Claims”) shall be exchanged for:

 

  (A) New HY Notes and CVRs (as Option 1 Claims); or

 

  (B) New HY Notes only (as Option 2 Claims),

The allocation of Residual Claims shall be made in accordance with the election made by the Scheme Creditor in respect of the following cut-back treatment. In the event that the MEB Election Amount is greater than the Maximum MEB Amount, Scheme Creditors may elect whether their Residual Claims are to be treated as Option 1 Claims or Option 2 Claims, and Scheme Creditors who fail to submit a valid election by the applicable deadline as to whether their Residual Claims are to be treated as Option 1 Claims or Option 2 Claims shall be deemed to have elected for such Residual Claims to be treated as Option 1 Claims.

  (a) Terms of the New HY Notes

Tenor    CVRs to remain outstanding until the Maturity Date of the Series E Notes.
CVR Triggering Event   

Holders of the CVRs shall be entitled to the payment of US$14 for each CVR they hold, upon the occurrence of each of the following triggering events (each, a “CVR Triggering Event” and each amount set out in the following, a “Market Capitalization Milestone”):

 

•    Trigger A: when the Implied Market Capitalization of the Common Shares exceeds HK$10,075,000,000

 

•    Trigger B: when the Implied Market Capitalization of the Common Shares exceeds HK$12,594,000,000

Anti-Dilution    If and whenever the Company shall pay or make any Capital Distribution (as defined in the Convertible Bonds) (but excluding any dividend or distribution of additional Common Shares) to the holders of the Common Shares on account of such Common Shares, then each of the Market Capitalization Milestones shall be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such dividend or distribution, by the fair market value (as determined, other than in the case of cash, by the Independent Investment Bank engaged at the Company’s expense) of the assets distributed or paid on each Common Share in respect of such dividend or distribution.

104


Explanatory Statement – Part 3 – Transaction Overview

 

Fundamental Changes and Events of Default   

Settlement of any payments triggered by a CVR Triggering Event but unpaid shall be accelerated upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change or an event of default under the CVRs (which shall be comparable to the Events of Default set forth in the New HY Notes), and such accelerated amounts shall become immediately due and payable by the Company as an obligation that is pari passu with the Company’s obligations under the New HY Notes and Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds or Exchange Convertible Bonds which are issued pursuant to the Automatic Exchange Transaction. If the Company is involved in any transaction which constitutes a Fundamental Change, the Holders of the CVRs will be entitled to payment prior to or in connection with such transaction of all accelerated amounts triggered by a CVR Triggering Event occurring prior to or in connection with such transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the acceleration of any payments triggered by a CVR Triggering Event was due to the occurrence of certain events of default under the CVRs (related to cross-defaults, trading suspensions, delisting or any Event of Default that would result in delisting with notice or the passage of time), then such payment(s) with respect to cross-defaults or delisting will be made in cash. However, if such an event of default with respect to cross-defaults or delisting is subsequently cured, then the acceleration and associated cash payment(s) shall no longer be effective following the cure of such event of default, and settlement pursuant to the settlement procedures set forth under “Settlement” above shall thereafter be available to the Company, with reference to the original date of any CVR Triggering Event that may have occurred.

 

A “Fundamental Change” shall be deemed to have occurred if (1) the Company is involved in and completes a consolidation with or merger with or into any other person (other than with one of its Subsidiaries), or any other similar transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which the outstanding Common Shares will be converted into or exchanged for cash, securities or other property, or the Company sells, transfers to a third party buyer or otherwise disposes of, in one transaction or a series of related transactions, all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or (2) the Shareholders of the Company approve any plan for its liquidation, dissolution or termination.

Governing Law    The CVRs will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and will be qualified under the TIA.

 

105


Explanatory Statement – Part 3 – Transaction Overview

The CVRs will not be registered under the Securities Act. The CVRs generally should not be treated as “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and persons who receive them (other than “affiliates” as described in the paragraph below) may resell them without restriction under the Securities Act.

 

Under the U.S securities laws, persons who are “affiliates” of the Company or were “affiliates” of the Company within the preceding 90 days may not resell the CVRs without registration under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, such as in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act or in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The CVRs will not be listed on a U.S. securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system in the United States. The Company does not intend to take action to facilitate a market in the CVRs in the United States.

Book Entry    The CVRs will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of Euroclear and Clearstream.

The maximum principal amount of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds shall be equal to the Exchange Date Principal Amount represented by the Convertible Bonds.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the principal and unpaid interest of the Convertible Bonds will be deemed to be a USD-denominated claim as of and from its original maturity date of 20 December 2015, calculated using the Spot Rate as at 17 December 2015 in accordance with the existing terms of the Convertible Bonds.

 

 

106


Explanatory Statement – Part 3 – Transaction Overview

 

  

As soon as reasonably practicable after the resumption of trading of the Common Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Company shall (i) procure a general meeting of its shareholders (the “Shareholders’ Meeting”) to pass all necessary resolutions (the “Shareholder Resolutions”) to issue the Exchange Convertible Bonds and to allot and issue new Common Shares upon the exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Exchange Convertible Bonds and any Common Shares to be issued pursuant to PIK interest accrued on or before the date of the Shareholder Resolutions (the “Accrued PIK Interest”) and any Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to any PIK interest that may be capitalized and added to the then current outstanding principal amount of the Exchange Convertible Bonds from the date of the Shareholder Resolutions until 31 December 2019 (the “Future PIK Interest”) and (ii) obtain all necessary approvals in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, for the trading of the new Common Shares to be issued upon the conversion of the Exchange Convertible Bonds, with principal amount equal to the Maximum MEB Amount (or, if lower, the MEB Election Amount) together with any Accrued PIK Interest, on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (the “Listing Approvals” and together with the Shareholder Resolutions, the “Mandatory Exchange Conditions”).

 

As soon as reasonably practicable after the resumption of trading of the Common Shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to request all necessary approvals in accordance with the relevant rules and regulations of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for the trading of the new Common Shares to be issued upon the conversion of the Future PIK Interest (the “Future PIK Listing Approval”). Until the Future PIK Listing Approval has been granted by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Company shall have no right to elect PIK interest in any PIK toggle coupon periods on the Exchange Convertible Bonds.

 

The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving any rejection of an application for the Listing Approvals or Future PIK Listing Approval, provide evidence of such rejection to the New MEB Trustee, or the trustee of the Exchange Convertible Bonds, as the case may be.

 

If, on any date following the Exchange Date the Mandatory Exchange Conditions are satisfied, then upon notice by the Company to the New MEB Trustee of the satisfaction of the Mandatory Exchange Conditions, all of the then outstanding principal amount of Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds will be automatically exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of Exchange Convertible Bonds to be issued by the Company under a new trust deed on the same terms as the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds, other than the conversion terms summarised in Clause 2.2(d) below and other customary covenants and events of default for convertible bonds consistent with the Convertible Bonds (the “Automatic Exchange Transaction”).

 

 

107


Explanatory Statement – Part 3 – Transaction Overview

 

  

The Automatic Exchange Transaction will be completed on a cashless basis by exchanging the outstanding Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds for Exchange Convertible Bonds, and no consent or any other action will be required by the holders of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds or the New MEB Trustee for the Automatic Exchange Transaction. The Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds will be automatically cancelled, and the guarantee will be automatically released and terminated, upon consummation of the Automatic Exchange Transaction.

 

By accepting a Mandatorily Exchangeable Bond, each holder will be deemed to have (i) agreed to be bound by the Automatic Exchange Transaction, and (ii) irrevocably authorised and directed the New MEB Trustee or any other person required to complete the Automatic Exchange Transaction, to take all actions required to consummate the Automatic Exchange Transaction without the need for further direction from such holder under the trust deed.

 

Contemporaneous with the consummation of the Automatic Exchange Transaction, the Company will enter into and procure that each Subsidiary Guarantor Pledgor shall grant a customary security confirmation and supplemental charge in respect of the New Collateral and the Exchange Convertible Bonds in favour of the Common Security Trustee and provide to the Common Security Trustee all customary related corporate formality documents and associated legal opinions from the Company’s legal counsel in respect of the supplemental charges.

Maturity    31 December 2019, which may, at the option of the Company, be extended by one year to 31 December 2020.

Intercreditor Agreement    On the Exchange Date, each of the New HY Notes Trustee ,for the benefit of the holders of the relevant series of the New HY Notes, the New MEB Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the relevant series of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and the Common Security Trustee will enter into the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, which will provide that the security interest in the New Collateral will be shared on a pari passu basis among (i) the New MEB Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds (and any subsequent trustee with respect to the Exchange Convertible Bonds which are issued pursuant to the Automatic Exchange Transaction); (ii) each New HY Notes Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the relevant series of the New HY Notes; and (iii) any other creditors with respect to future Permitted Pari Passu Secured Indebtedness.

 

108


Explanatory Statement – Part 3 – Transaction Overview

 

Redemption for Delisting or Change of Control    Same as the Convertible Bonds provided that the ongoing current suspension on the trading of the Common Shares, the failure to lift such suspension and any delisting of the Common Shares arising from such suspension on trading shall not entitle the holder of a Mandatorily Exchangeable Bond to require the redemption of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds by reason of the occurrence of a Relevant Event (as defined in the Convertible Bonds).
Mandatory Redemption    If the Company fails to obtain the Listing Approvals within 60 days of the resumption of trading of the Common Shares which are suspended as of the Exchange Date and such failure continues for a period of 30 consecutive days, the holder of a Mandatorily Exchangeable Bond shall be entitled to require the redemption of its Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds on the date which is 120 days from the resumption of trading of the Common Shares (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”), at par plus the MEB Redemption Amount.
Events of Default and other ancillary matters including (i) Provision of Financial Statements and Reports, (ii) Use of Proceeds from Issuance of Future Permitted Pari Passu Secured Indebtedness and (iii) Limitation on Issuance of Future Subordinated Indebtedness or Equity (or an instrument that is a hybrid thereof)    Substantially the same as the New HY Notes. In addition, if the Shareholder Resolutions fail to be passed within 60 days of the resumption of trading of the Common Shares which are suspended as of the Exchange Date, and such failure continues for a period of 30 consecutive days, that shall also constitute an Event of Default.
Governing Law    The Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and will be qualified under the TIA.

 

109


Explanatory Statement – Part 3 – Transaction Overview

 

Transfer Restrictions   

The Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds will not be registered under the Securities Act. The Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds generally should not be treated as “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act and persons who receive them (other than “affiliates” as described in the paragraph below) may resell them without restriction under the Securities Act.

 

Under the U.S securities laws, persons who are “affiliates” of the Company or were “affiliates” of the Company within the preceding 90 days may not resell the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds without registration under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, such as in an offshore transaction in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act or in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds will not be listed on a U.S. securities exchange or any inter-dealer quotation system in the United States. The Company does not intend to take action to facilitate a market in the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds in the United States.

 

  (d) Additional Terms of Exchange Convertible Bonds

 

Conversion Period    Same as the Convertible Bonds, except for the maturity date as set out in the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds.
Conversion Price    HK$2.34 per share, subject to adjustment by reference to any events which would have caused that price to be adjusted had the Exchange Convertible Bonds been issued on the Exchange Date (“Conversion Price”).
Anti-Dilution    Same as the Convertible Bonds, with carve-outs to such anti-dilution protections for any dilution as a result of the settlement of the CVRs in Common Shares in lieu of cash.
Interest    Same as the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds, but if the date of exchanging the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds into Exchange Convertible Bonds is not an Interest Payment Date then the interest rate for the first interest period under the Exchange Convertible Bonds shall be calculated on the basis that the interest period started on the previous Interest Payment Date under the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds, so that any accrued but unpaid PIK interest or cash interest on the date of exchange will be paid on the first Interest Payment Date under the Exchange Convertible Bonds.

10.5 Benefits of the Restructuring Proposal

 

  (a) The Restructuring Proposal, if implemented, is expected to provide the following key benefits to the Company’s stakeholders:

 

  (i) Sustainable Capital Structure: Given the recent developments described in this Explanatory Statement, the Company believes that the Restructuring Proposal will provide it with the flexibility to address its current liquidity issues and continue to operate as a going concern. The Company also believes that the implemented Restructuring Proposal will provide it with a long-term sustainable capital structure that will increase the likelihood of the Company achieving its Business Plan. The restructuring has been formulated to give the Company the opportunity to reach its full business potential and supports the protection of creditors’ economic position if the Business Plan is achieved. In addition, it will remove current uncertainty in the market as to the Group’s viability.

 

  (ii) Strong Credit and Deleveraging Profile: The Board views the implementation of the Restructuring Proposal as a crucial step in the process of improving the Company’s credit profile and providing for the long-term viability of the Company. As the assets of the Group continue to be released from the freezing orders imposed by the PRC courts, the Company’s business performance is expected to improve. The Board believes that material deleveraging of the business onshore, coupled with operational improvements, will enable the Company to access additional refinancing in the future, although the Board can provide no assurance as to exactly if and when such refinancing will be available, or on what terms.

 

111


Explanatory Statement – Part 3 – Transaction Overview

 

 

  (iii) Best Alternative: After an exhaustive review of strategic alternatives, management believes that the Restructuring Proposal represents the best outcome for creditors. The Board stresses that the Company is firmly committed to repaying the its debt obligations over time in full and avoiding any write-off of principal.

Explanatory Statement – Part 4 – Overview of the Group

 

11.11 Material Contracts

During the two years immediately preceding the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Group entered into a number of material contracts under which it has obligations or entitlements material to the Group as at the date of this Explanatory Statement. A summary of these material contracts is set out in Appendix 19 (Summary of Material Contracts) to this Explanatory Statement.

11.12 Litigation

 

  (a) The Group has been and may continue to be involved in allegations, litigation or legal or administrative proceedings. The Group has also instituted, and may continue to institute, legal proceedings against others in pursuit of its rights and interests.

 

  (b) Due to the imposition of the Blockages and Restrictions, numerous Onshore Lenders commenced applications with the relevant PRC courts for the preservation of assets of the Company’s Onshore Operations and obtained asset freeze orders against certain assets of the Company’s Onshore Operations from the PRC civil courts. A high level overview of the onshore creditor action is provided in paragraphs 9.2(f) to 9.2(l) of Part 2 of this Explanatory Statement.

 

  (c) A summary of the legal proceedings against members of the Group is set out in Appendix 14 (Summary of Material Litigation) to this Explanatory Statement. The summary of the proceedings in Appendix 14 (Summary of Material Litigation) includes summaries for all financing transaction claims exceeding RMB 5,000,000 and all non-financing transaction claims regardless of value. The total amount of claims are valued at RMB16.6 billion, consisting of consisting of 32 financing transaction claims with an aggregate value of approximately RMB16.4 billion and 63 non-financing transaction claims with an aggregate value of approximately RMB337.7 million. Although substantially all of the onshore proceedings set out in the summary in Appendix 14 (Summary of Material Litigation) relate to claims against the onshore subsidiaries of the Group, they may potentially drain or divert resources from the Group that could have been used to finance the operations of the Group.

However, having explored these various options, the Board consider that the most viable option is the Restructuring Proposal.

 

118


Explanatory Statement – Part 4 – Overview of the Group

 

11.14 The Restructuring Proposal

 

  (a) The Restructuring Proposal is discussed in more detail in Part 3 of this Explanatory Statement. In overview, however, the Restructuring Proposal aims to significantly improve the Company’s credit profile, and thereby create realistic refinancing alternatives for the Company as well as its existing creditors.

 

  (b) The Restructuring Proposal contemplates an extension of the maturities of the relevant debt instruments, as well as relief from the Company’s debt service obligations. This relief will come from a reduction in interest coupon, with all or a portion of interest due during the two and a half year period after restructuring to be paid, at the election of the Company, either in cash or by an addition to principal.

 

  (c) The key terms of the Restructuring Proposal are as described in Part 3 (Transaction Overview) of this Explanatory Statement. In summary, the Company’s existing obligations to the Scheme Creditors shall be released and discharged in return for the issue of the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds.

Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

 

PART 5 – TAXATION

 

 

 

12. Taxation

Scheme Creditors, wherever they are resident, incorporated or situated, are recommended to consult their professional advisers as to any taxation implications of the Schemes which may apply to them. None of the Company, its directors, officers, management or agents, or the Kaisa Advisers accepts any responsibility for any adverse taxation consequences Scheme Creditors may face as a result of participating in the Scheme.

Notwithstanding the general warning given above that Scheme Creditors should take their own advice as to the effect that participating in the Schemes may have as to their taxation position, the following is a high-level summary of certain material tax consequences relating to the Schemes. It does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the Schemes and to all Scheme Creditors. The tax consequences set forth below in this high-level summary are based on the applicable laws, regulations, court decisions, revenue rulings and administrative proceedings (which may not be binding) as of the date of this Explanatory Statement, and all of which are subject to change or changes in interpretation and are not intended to be exhaustive. Scheme Creditors should particularly note that any such change or changes in interpretation could have retroactive effect so as to result in tax consequences different from those discussed below. No representations are made regarding the tax consequences of the Schemes for any particular Scheme Creditors. It is repeated that this information is not a substitute for independent advice pertaining to the particular circumstances of each Scheme Creditor. Accordingly, Scheme Creditors are urged to consult their own tax advisers without delay with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of the Schemes, including the tax consequences under any applicable laws.

 

12.1 Cayman Islands Taxation

The Company

No adverse Cayman Islands tax implications will arise for the Company in connection with the release of the Existing HY Notes, Convertible Bonds, related Note Guarantees and the issue of the New HY Notes, CVRs, the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and any Exchange Convertible Bonds issued pursuant to the Automatic Exchange Transaction.

Scheme Creditors

The release of the Existing HY Notes, Convertible Bonds and related Note Guarantees will not trigger any adverse tax implications for Scheme Creditors which are tax resident in the Cayman Islands.

 

120


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

12.2 United States Taxation

 

  (a) The following is a general discussion of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations related to participation in the Schemes, including the exchange of Scheme Claims for Scheme Consideration, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all tax effects of the Schemes. This summary does not address the U.S. federal income tax considerations related to the acquisition, ownership or disposition of the Scheme Consideration except with respect to Scheme Consideration received pursuant to a Scheme. This discussion is based on current provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder (“Treasury Regulations”) and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as in effect or proposed on the date hereof, and all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect, or to different interpretations. The Company will not seek a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) with regard to the U.S. federal income tax considerations to U.S. Holders (as defined below) of participation in the Schemes and the receipt of Scheme Consideration. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not challenge any of the U.S. federal income tax considerations described below or that any such challenge, if made, would not be sustained by a court. In addition, this summary only applies to U.S. Holders (other than with respect to the discussion of FATCA, as defined below) that hold their Scheme Claims as capital assets within the meaning of the Code (generally, property held for investment).

 

  (b) This discussion is for general information only and does not address all of the tax considerations that may be relevant to specific holders in light of their particular circumstances or to holders subject to special treatment under U.S. federal income tax laws (such as banks, other financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, retirement plans, dealers in securities, brokers, expatriates, partnerships, other pass-through entities, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, persons who hold their Notes (as defined below) as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, U.S. persons whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar or U.S. persons that use a mark-to-market method of accounting). This discussion does not address the U.S. state, local, estate or gift tax laws, the Medicare tax on net investment income or non-U.S. tax considerations relating to the purchase, ownership and disposition of the Notes. Each U.S. Holder should consult its own tax advisor with regard to the U.S. federal income and other tax considerations to them with respect to their participation in the Schemes in light of their particular situations.

 

  (c) “U.S. Holder” means a holder that is a beneficial owner of a Scheme Claim and that is, for U.S. federal income tax purposes:

 

  (i) an individual who is a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

  (ii) a corporation (or other entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any State or political subdivision thereof or therein, including the District of Columbia;

 

  (iii) an estate the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income tax regardless of the source thereof; or

 

  (iv) a trust with respect to which (i) a court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over its administration and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all of its substantial decisions, or (ii) a valid election was made to be treated as U.S. person for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

121


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (d) If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds a Scheme Claim, the tax treatment of such partnership and each partner will depend upon the application of special rules that apply to partnerships under the U.S. federal income tax laws, the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner or a partnership holding a Scheme Claim, you are urged to consult your tax advisors regarding the tax considerations of the participation in the Schemes and the receipt of Scheme Consideration.

U.S. HOLDERS PARTICIPATING IN THE SCHEMES ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX AND OTHER TAX CONSIDERATIONS IN LIGHT OF THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES.

 

  (e) Tax Considerations of the Exchange of Scheme Claims for Scheme Consideration

 

  (i) Whether and to what extent U.S. Holders will be required to recognize gain or loss in connection with their exchange of Scheme Claims for Scheme Consideration will depend on whether any portion of the exchange qualifies as a recapitalization pursuant to Section 368 of the Code. In general, the exchange will qualify as a recapitalization with respect to a particular U.S. Holder if, among other requirements, any of the Scheme Claims and any of the corresponding New HY Notes and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds (together, the “Notes”) received by such Holder constitute “securities” for purposes of the recapitalization provisions of the Code. The rules for determining whether a debt instrument constitutes a security under the recapitalization provisions of U.S. federal income tax laws are unclear. The term “security” is not defined for this purpose in the Code or the Treasury Regulations and has not been clearly defined by judicial decisions. The determination of whether a debt instrument is a security involves an overall evaluation of the nature of the debt instrument, the debt holder’s exposure to the substantial risks of the enterprise, the extent of the debt holder’s proprietary interest in the issuer compared with the similarity of the debt instrument to a right to receive a cash payment and certain other considerations.

 

  (ii) One of the most significant factors considered in determining whether a particular debt instrument is a security is its term as determined at the date of issuance. In general, debt instruments with a term of less than five years are not likely to (but may in certain circumstances) be considered securities, debt instruments with a term of ten years or more are likely to be considered securities, and debt instruments with an initial term at issuance of five to ten years are often considered securities, but their status may be unclear. The IRS ruled in Revenue Ruling 2004-78 that in certain cases where new debt instruments are issued in exchange for securities, the new debt instruments may be treated as a continuation of the securities and thus the exchange may qualify for recapitalization treatment. There can be no assurance, however, that the IRS will agree with this characterization.

 

  (iii) To the extent all or a portion of the Scheme Claims exchanged for all or a portion of the Notes qualifies as a tax-free recapitalization with respect to a particular U.S. Holder, such U.S. Holder will not recognize any loss on that portion of the exchange. Such Holder will recognize gain on the exchange only to the extent of the lesser of (i) the sum of any cash and the fair market value of any Scheme Consideration not treated as received in a tax-free recapitalization (such as the CVRs and non-qualifying tranches of Notes, any such consideration collectively, “boot”) and (ii) the difference between the fair market value of the Scheme Consideration and the U.S. Holder’s basis in its Scheme Claims (in each case other than any amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest, which would be treated as described in paragraph 12.2(e)(x) below (Accrued Interest).

 

122


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (iv) A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in any Notes treated as received in a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be equal to such Holder’s aggregate adjusted tax basis in the Scheme Claims surrendered pursuant to the recapitalization increased by any gain recognized on the exchange and reduced by the fair market value of the boot (other than any amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest which would be treated as described in paragraph 12.2(e)(x) below (Accrued Interest). Such basis must be allocated among the Notes treated as received in a recapitalization in proportion to such properties’ relative fair market value. The holding period for any Notes treated as received in a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes will include the holding period for the Scheme Claims treated as exchanged therefor pursuant to a recapitalization. Any accrued market discount on a Scheme Claim will be carried over to any Scheme Claims exchanged therefor pursuant to a recapitalization. A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the boot received will equal the fair market value of such boot and the holding period for such boot will begin on the day following the date of the exchange.

 

  (v) Whether or not the exchange of Scheme Claims for Notes by a particular U.S. Holder qualifies as a tax-free recapitalization will depend on the particular Scheme Claims being exchanged and the terms of the Notes received. Holders should consult their tax advisors as to whether any of the Scheme Claims are properly classified as securities and, accordingly, to what extent the exchange will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a recapitalization. U.S. Holders should also consult their tax advisors for assistance in determining their basis in any Scheme Consideration received and in computing their gain, if any, particularly where a U.S. Holder holds multiple tranches of Scheme Claims and/or receives multiple tranches of Scheme Consideration.

 

  (vi) The tax consequences of participating in the Schemes may also depend on whether any cash that is or has been received by such Holder from the Company and any Scheme Consideration not treated as received in a recapitalization is treated as a separate and independent payment with respect to its Scheme Claims, or whether the distribution of any such cash and non-qualifying Scheme Consideration is instead integrated for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the exchange of Scheme Claims for Notes treated as received in a recapitalization pursuant to the Schemes. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax treatment of distributions to them of cash and receipt of Scheme Consideration not received in a recapitalization.

 

  (vii) If the Scheme is not treated as a recapitalization with respect to a U.S. Holder, subject to the wash-sale rules, such U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount realized and the Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Scheme Claims. The amount realized on a Holder’s exchange of Scheme Claims will be equal to the issue price of the Notes received in the exchange and the fair market value of the other Scheme Consideration received or deemed received by the Holder in the exchange, but excluding any amount treated as received in respect of accrued but unpaid interest not previously included in income by the Holder. Such gain or loss generally will be long-term capital gain or loss provided the U.S. Holder’s holding period in its Scheme Claims exceeds one year as of the date of the exchange or short-term gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period is one year or less. However, gain or loss, as well as the holding period, will be determined separately for each tranche of Scheme Claims exchanged pursuant to the Scheme. Any such gain or loss generally will be U.S. source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (viii) The issue price of any Notes treated as received in an exchange will depend on whether such Notes and/or the Scheme Claims exchanged are “publicly traded” property as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations. If, as the Company expects, the Notes are considered to be “publicly traded” property, then the issue price of such Notes will be equal to the fair market value of such Notes on the date of the exchange. The application of these rules to the Schemes is complicated and U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding determining the issue price of the Notes received in the exchange.

 

  (ix) Exchange Gain or Loss. In the case of non-U.S.-denominated Scheme Claim, gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder as a result of the exchange of the non-U.S.-denominated Scheme Claim generally will be treated as ordinary income or loss to the extent that the gain or loss is attributable to changes in foreign currency exchange rates during the period in which the U.S. Holder held such non-U.S.-denominated Scheme Claim. In the case of a non-U.S. denominated note, such foreign currency gain or loss will equal the difference between (i) the U.S. dollar value of the U.S. Holder’s non-U.S.-denominated note purchase price for the non-U.S.-denominated note (reduced by any bond premium previously amortized) calculated at the spot rate of exchange on the date of the exchange and (ii) the U.S. dollar value of the U.S. Holder’s non-U.S.-denominated note purchase price for the non-U.S.-denominated note (reduced by any bond premium previously amortized) calculated at the spot rate of exchange on the date of purchase of the non-U.S.-denominated note. If the non-U.S.-denominated note is traded on an established securities market, with respect to a cash basis U.S. Holder (and, if it so elects, an accrual basis U.S. Holder), such foreign currency gain or loss will be calculated based on the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the exchange and on the settlement date of the purchase of the non-U.S.-denominated note. The realization of any foreign currency gain or loss, including foreign currency gain or loss with respect to amounts attributable to accrued and unpaid interest, will be limited to the amount of overall gain or loss realized on the exchange of the relevant Scheme Claim.

 

  (x) Accrued Interest. To the extent that any amount received by a U.S. Holder is attributable to accrued interest on a Scheme Claim, such amount will be includable in gross income as interest income if such accrued interest had not been included previously in the Holder’s gross income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

  (xi) Market Discount. If a U.S. Holder acquired a Scheme Claim with market discount, any gain recognized on the exchange of such Scheme Claim will be treated as ordinary income (and will not receive capital gain treatment) to the extent of the market discount accrued during the U.S. Holder’s period of ownership, unless the Holder previously had elected to include market discount in income as it accrued for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For these purposes, market discount generally is equal to the excess, if any, of the stated principal amount of a Scheme Claim over the Holder’s initial tax basis in the Scheme Claim, if such excess exceeds a de minimis amount. U.S. Holders who acquired any Scheme Claims other than at original issuance should consult their tax advisors regarding the possible application of the market discount rules of the Code.

  (f) Tax Considerations Related to U.S. Holders Holding and Disposing of the Notes

 

  (i) Effect of Certain Contingencies

 

  (A) The Company will take a position, during those periods in which the Company may elect to pay in PIK Interest, fully in cash (“Cash Interest”), or a combination of cash and PIK Interest (“Partial PIK Interest”), that the Company and each U.S. Holder is entitled to account for the Notes using a payment schedule in which interest on the Notes is initially assumed to be paid in the manner that would minimize the yield on the Notes in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.1272-1(c) and that the Notes accordingly are not subject to the Treasury Regulations applicable to contingent payment debt instruments (the “CPDI rules”).

 

  (B) Moreover, in certain circumstances, the Company may be obligated to make payments in excess of stated interest (including PIK Interest, if any) and the adjusted issue price of the Notes and/or redeem the Notes in advance of their stated maturity or (in the case of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds) to extend the maturity of the Notes. The Company does not intend to treat the Notes as contingent payment debt instruments because of, among other things, the possibility of such payments or early redemptions. This position is based in part on assumptions, as of the date of issuance of the Notes, regarding the likelihood that such payments will have to be paid and/or relating to the expected yield to maturity of the Notes. Assuming such position is respected, any such amounts paid to a U.S. Holder pursuant to any repurchase or redemption would be taxable as described in paragraph 12.2(f)(iii) below (Sale, Exchange, Retirement or Other Disposition by a U.S. Holder) and any payments of Additional Amounts in respect of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds or in respect of the New HY Notes (in each case, as the term “Additional Amounts” is defined in the New Trust Deed or New Indentures, as applicable) in an amount in excess of stated interest and the adjusted issue price would be taxable as additional ordinary income when received or accrued, in accordance with such holder’s method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The Company’s position is binding on a U.S. Holder unless such holder discloses its contrary position in the manner required by applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations. The IRS, however, may take a position contrary to the Company’s position, which could affect the timing and character of a U.S. Holder’s income with respect to the Notes. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application to the Notes of the contingent payment debt instrument rules and the consequences thereof. This discussion assumes that the Notes are not treated as contingent payment debt instruments.

 

125


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (ii) Original Issue Discount PIK Interest and Stated Interest

 

  (A) A Note is issued with original issue discount (“OID”) in an amount equal to any excess of its stated redemption price at maturity (the sum of all payments to be made on the Notes other than qualified stated interest) over its issue price, determined as described in paragraph 12.2(e) above (Tax Considerations of the Exchange of Scheme Claims for Scheme Consideration), by more than a statutorily defined de minimis amount. Because the Notes provide the Company with the ability to pay some or all of the interest on the Notes in the form of PIK Interest for a given accrual period, no stated interest on the Notes will be qualified stated interest for U.S. federal income tax purposes (even if stated interest is expected to be paid, and actually is paid, in cash). As a result, even if the issue price of the Notes is not less than the stated redemption price at maturity, the Notes will be treated as issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Interest, including OID, on the Notes will be treated as foreign source income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

  (B) A U.S. Holder generally will be required to include OID in income before the receipt of the associated cash payment, regardless of the U.S. Holder’s accounting method for tax purposes. A U.S Holder will be required to include OID in income for U.S. federal income tax purposes as it accrues on a constant yield basis in advance of the receipt of cash payments to which such income is attributable. A U.S. Holder would be required to include the OID in income in addition to the inclusion of stated interest and would generally be required to include in income increasing greater amounts of OID in successive accrual periods.

 

  (C) As discussed in paragraph 12.2(f)(i) above (Effect of Certain Contingencies) for purposes of computing the yield to maturity of the notes and the amount of OID attributable to each accrual period, the Company will take a position that the Company and each U.S. Holder are entitled to use the payment schedule determined to minimize the yield on the Notes. This assumption is stated solely for U.S. federal income tax purposes and does not constitute a representation by the Company regarding the likelihood that interest on the Notes will be paid in a particular manner. If, contrary to this assumption, a different combination of interest is actually paid on the Notes, then, solely for the purposes of recomputing future OID accruals on the Notes, the Notes will be treated as retired and reissued on the date of such change in circumstances for an amount equal to their then-adjusted issue price, the yield to maturity on the Notes will be redetermined taking into account such change in circumstances.

 

  (D) Any PIK Interest generally will not be treated as a payment of interest on an original note for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Instead, any PIK Interest together with the original Note will be treated as a single debt instrument for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

  (E) Under applicable U.S. Treasury Regulations, a U.S. Holder of a Note with OID may elect to include in gross income all interest that accrues on the Note using the constant yield method described above. Once made with respect to the Note, the election cannot be revoked without the consent of the IRS. A U.S. Holder considering an election under these rules should consult its own tax advisor.

 

126


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (F) U.S. Holders may obtain information regarding the amount of OID, the issue price, the issue date and yield to maturity by contacting the Company Secretary at info@kaisagroup.com, telephone +852 3900 0988 or fax +852 3900 0990.

 

  (G) Each payment of Cash Interest under a Note will be treated first as a payment of any accrued OID on the Note to the extent such accrued OID has not been allocated to prior cash payments and second as a payment of principal on the Note. U.S. Holders generally will not be required to separately include Cash Interest on the Notes to the extent such cash payments constitute payments of previously accrued OID or payments of principal.

The rules regarding OID are complex and the rules described above may not apply in all cases. If other rules apply instead, U.S. Holders of the Notes could be treated differently than described above. Prospective U.S. Holders of the Notes are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the potential application of the OID rules to the notes and the consequences thereof.

 

  (iii) Sale, Exchange, Retirement or Other Disposition by a U.S. Holder

 

  (A) A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in a Note will depend on whether the exchange resulting from the receipt of the Scheme Consideration is a taxable exchange or not, as described in paragraph 12.2(e) above (Tax Considerations of the Exchange of Scheme Claims for Scheme Consideration).

 

  (B) Although not free from doubt, a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in a Note (as determined above) should be allocated between the original Note and any new notes received in respect of PIK Interest thereon (“PIK Notes”) in proportion to their relative principal amounts. A U.S. Holder’s holding period in any PIK Note received in respect of PIK Interest would likely be identical to its holding period for the original Note with respect to which the PIK Note was received.

 

  (C) A U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of a Note equal to the difference, if any, between the amount realized on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of the Note (less any amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest, which will be subject to tax in the manner described in paragraph 12.2(f)(ii) above (Original Issue Discount, PIK Interest and Stated Interest) to the extent not previously so taxed), and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Note.

 

  (D) Any gain or loss recognized on the sale, exchange, retirement, or other disposition of a Note will be capital gain or loss, and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the Note for more than one year as of the date of disposition. Long-term capital gain of a non-corporate U.S. Holder generally is taxed at preferential rates. The ability of a U.S. Holder to offset capital losses against ordinary income is limited. Any gain or loss recognized on the sale, exchange, retirement or other disposition of a Note generally will be treated as income from sources within the United States or loss allocable to income from sources within the United States.

 

127


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (E) The deductibility of capital losses is subject to certain limitations. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of disposing, in separate transactions, of the original Note and any PIK Notes issued as PIK Interest with respect to such original Note.

 

  (F) Market Discount. A Note treated as received in an exchange for a Scheme Claim with market discount in a recapitalization for U.S. federal income tax purposes will also be treated as acquired with market discount to the extent the issue price of a Note exceeds the Holder’s initial tax basis for such Note by more than a de minimis amount. If a U.S. Holder acquires its Notes at a market discount and elects to include the market discount in gross income currently as ordinary income, the amount of market discount included in such U.S. Holder’s income increases such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Notes. Unless a U.S. Holder elects to accrue market discount under a constant yield method, any market discount will accrue ratably during the period from the date of acquisition of the related Note to its maturity date.

 

  (G) An election to include market discount in income currently, once made, will apply to all market discount obligations acquired by the U.S. Holder during the taxable year of the election and thereafter, and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. Accordingly, if a U.S. Holder has previously made a market discount election, including with respect to a Scheme Claim, such U.S. Holder that receives Scheme Consideration with market discount will include the market discount applying the constant yield method. The market discount rules are complicated, and U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax considerations related to owning and disposing of Notes with market discount, including the availability of certain elections.

 

  (H) Acquisition Premium. If a U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in the Notes is greater than their issue price and less than or equal to their stated principal amount, the U.S. Holder will be considered to have acquired the Notes with “acquisition premium.” Under the acquisition premium rules, such U.S. Holder generally will be permitted to reduce the daily portions of OID by a fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of the U.S. Holder’s initial basis in the Note over the Note’s issue price, and the denominator of which is the excess of the principal amount of the Notes over their issue price.

 

128


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (I) Amortizable Bond Premium. A Note has amortizable bond premium in the hands of a U.S. Holder if the U.S. Holder acquired the Note for an amount in excess of the Note’s stated principal amount. In such a case, a U.S. Holder will not be required to accrue any OID on the Notes. A U.S. Holder generally may elect to amortize such premium from the purchase date of a Note to the maturity date of the Note under a constant yield method based on the Note’s payment period. A U.S. Holder that elected to amortize such premium as an offset to interest income must reduce its tax basis in the Note by the amount of the premium amortized during such Holder’s holding period of the Note. For a U.S. Holder that does not elect to amortize bond premium, the amount of such premium will be included in such Holder’s tax basis upon the sale of the Note. An election to amortize premium on a constant yield method, once made, generally applies to all debt obligations held or subsequently acquired by the U.S. Holder during the taxable year of the election and thereafter, and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax considerations related to owning and disposing of Notes with bond premium, including the availability of certain elections and the effects of certain Company options.

 

  (J) The Notes are subject to call provisions at the Company’s option at various times. As a result, a U.S. Holder will calculate the amount of amortizable bond premium based on the amount payable on an applicable call date if the use of the call price and the call date results in a smaller amortizable bond premium for the period ending on the call date. In the event that the Company does not exercise its call rights on such call date, the Notes generally should be treated as reissued on the call date for the “adjusted acquisition price” (as defined for U.S. federal income tax purposes), and the U.S. Holder will recalculate the amount of any amortizable bond premium on such Note pursuant to the principles described above. The foregoing rules may eliminate, reduce or defer any amortization deductions.

 

  (iv) Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations in Respect of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and Exchange Convertible Bonds

 

  (A) If, as described below, the Company is classified as a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder owns Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or Exchange Convertible Bonds, the U.S. Holder generally will be treated as owning stock in the Company and will be subject to adverse rules (regardless of whether the Company continues to be classified as a PFIC) with respect to any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds. For a description of these adverse rules, including loss of favorable capital gains rates and the imposition of an interest charge, see paragraph 12.2(h)(v) “Conversion of Exchange Convertible Bonds to Common Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules”). In addition, if the Company is classified as a PFIC, the holding period of a Common Share acquired through the exercise of the Exchange Convertible Bonds would include the period during which the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or Exchange Convertible Bonds were held, which could exacerbate the effect of the adverse rules described below. In addition, the mark-to-market election under the PFIC rules (as described below) may not be made with respect to the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or Exchange Convertible Bonds.

 

129


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (B) The application of the PFIC rules to Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or Exchange Convertible Bonds, including the application of the reporting requirement described in paragraph 12.2(h)(v) below (Conversion of Exchange Convertible Bonds to Common Shares—Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules), is subject to significant uncertainties. Accordingly, U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of the PFIC regime and any reporting obligations to which they may be subject under that regime.

 

  (g) Exchange of Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds for Exchange Convertible Bonds

The exchange of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds for the Exchange Convertible Bonds is not expected to be a taxable event to the U.S. Holders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and, accordingly, the Exchange Convertible Bonds are expected to have the same issue price, adjusted issue price, adjusted tax basis and holding period as the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of an Exchange Convertible Bond generally are expected to be the same as the U.S. federal income tax consequences of holding and disposing of a Mandatorily Exchangeable Bond.

 

  (h) Conversion of Exchange Convertible Bonds to Common Shares

 

  (i) Conversion

 

  (A) If a U.S. Holder presents a notice pursuant to an Exchange Convertible Bond to convert such holding into Common Shares, the U.S. Holder will receive solely Common Shares, or, in certain limited circumstances, cash in lieu of fractional shares. If, upon conversion, the Company satisfies the conversion obligation solely with shares of the Company’s Common Shares, U.S. Holders generally will not recognize any income, gain or loss, except with respect to cash received in lieu of a fractional share of the Company’s Common Shares. A U.S. Holder’s adjusted basis in the Common Shares received will be the same as such Holder’s adjusted basis in the Exchange Convertible Bond at the time of the conversion, reduced by any basis allocable to a fractional share. The holding period for the Company’s Common Shares generally will include the holding period of the Exchange Convertible Bond converted.

 

  (B) Cash, if any, received in lieu of a fractional share of the Company’s Common Shares will be treated as if the fractional share had been issued and then redeemed for cash. Accordingly, subject to the PFIC rules described below, a U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss (measured by the difference between the cash received for the fractional share and such Holder’s adjusted basis allocable to the fractional share).

 

130


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (ii) Constructive Distributions

 

  (A) If at any time the Company were to make or treated as making a distribution of cash or property to its shareholders that would be taxable to the shareholders as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or if the Company has any other convertible debt outstanding) and, in accordance with the provisions described in “Terms and Conditions of the Bonds —Adjustments to Conversion Price”, the conversion rate of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds were adjusted, such adjustment would be a deemed distribution taxable as a dividend to beneficial owners of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (and otherwise as discussed below), notwithstanding the fact that the beneficial owners of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds do not receive a cash payment.

 

  (B) If the conversion rate is adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events (as described in “Terms and Conditions of the Bonds —Adjustments to Conversion Price”), such adjustment also may be a deemed distribution, taxable as a dividend to beneficial owners of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits (and otherwise as discussed below), notwithstanding the fact that the beneficial owners do not receive a cash payment. Generally, an adjustment in the conversion rate under the indenture made pursuant to a bona fide reasonable adjustment formula in the event of share dividends or distributions of rights to subscribe for the Company’s Common Shares will not be a taxable constructive distribution; in contrast, as noted above, an adjustment to the conversion ratio to compensate for a taxable dividend will be treated as a taxable constructive distribution.

 

  (C) Furthermore, in certain circumstances, the failure to adjust the conversion rate under the indenture may result in a deemed taxable distribution to holders of the Company’s Common Shares.

 

  (D) If there is a deemed distribution, such distribution will be taxable as a dividend to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, and thereafter as a return of capital or capital gain in accordance with the tax rules applicable to corporate distributions, but will not be eligible for the reduced rates of tax applicable to certain dividends paid to individual investors applicable to certain dividends paid to corporate holders.

 

131


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (iii) Distributions on Common Shares of the Company’s Common Shares

 

  (A) Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules below, if, after a U.S. Holder converts an Exchange Convertible Bond into Common Shares, the Company makes a distribution in respect of those Common Shares, the gross amount of any distribution will be treated as a dividend (including withheld taxes, if any), generally taxable to such U.S. Holder as ordinary income, to the extent it is paid from the Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits. Dividends paid by the Company will be includible in a U.S. Holder’s gross income upon receipt. In addition, whether or not the amount of dividends received with respect to the Company’s Common Shares by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) are eligible for the preferential rates for “qualified dividends” will depend on whether the Company is (a) a PFIC, as described below, and (b) a qualified foreign corporation. A non-U.S. corporation will generally be considered a qualified foreign corporation (i) if it is eligible for the benefits of a comprehensive tax treaty with the United States which the Secretary of Treasury of the United States determines is satisfactory for purposes of this provision and which includes an exchange of information program; or (ii) with respect to any dividend it pays on stock which is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States. Whether or not the Company is a qualified foreign corporation will also depend, inter alia, on whether or not the Company is deemed a PRC “resident enterprise” as discussed in 12.4 below (PRC Taxation). No assurances can be made regarding whether dividends from the Company will be qualified dividends eligible for taxation at preferential rates. Dividends received on Common Shares will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction allowed to corporations. If the distribution exceeds the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the excess will be treated first as a tax-free return of capital up to a Holder’s adjusted basis in the shares of the Company’s Common Shares. Any remaining excess will be treated as capital gain.

 

  (B) Distributions from the Company generally will constitute foreign source income for United States foreign tax credit purposes and will generally constitute passive category income. A U.S. Holder may be eligible, subject to a number of complex limitations, to claim a foreign tax credit in respect of any foreign withholding taxes imposed on dividends received on the Common Shares. A U.S. Holder who does not elect to claim a foreign tax credit for foreign tax withheld may instead claim a deduction, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, in respect of such withholdings, but only for a year in which such U.S. Holders elects to do so for all creditable foreign income taxes.

 

  (C) The amount of any dividend income paid in non-U.S. currency will be the U.S. dollar amount calculated by reference to the exchange rate in effect on the date of actual or constructive receipt, regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted into U.S. dollars. If the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars on the date of receipt, a U.S. Holder should not be required to recognize foreign currency gain or loss in respect of the dividend income. A U.S. Holder may have foreign currency gain or loss if the dividend is converted into U.S. dollars after the date of receipt.

 

  (D) As discussed in paragraph 12.2(h)(ii) above (Constructive Distributions), if an event occurs that dilutes the Exchange Convertible Bond holders’ interest and the conversion price is not adjusted, the resulting increase in the proportionate interests of the Company’s shareholders could be treated as a taxable stock dividend to them.

 

132


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (iv) Sale, Exchange or Other Taxable Disposition of Common Shares of the Company’s Common Shares

 

  (A) Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules below, upon the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of shares of the Company’s Common Shares received on conversion of an Exchange Convertible Bond:

 

  (I) a U.S. Holder will have taxable gain or loss equal to the difference between the U.S. dollar value of the amount received by such Holder and such Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of the Company’s Common Shares determined in U.S. dollars (determined as described in paragraph 12.2(h)(i) above (Conversion); and

 

  (II) a U.S. Holder’s gain or loss generally will be a U.S. source capital gain or loss and will be a long-term capital gain or loss if such Holder has a holding period for the Common Shares that is more than one year. Long-term capital gains recognized by certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) are generally subject to a reduced rate of U.S. federal income tax. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitation.

 

  (B) In the event that the Company is treated as a PRC “resident enterprise” under the Enterprise Income Tax Law and gain from the disposition of Common Shares is subject to tax in the PRC, a U.S. Holder that is eligible for the benefits of the income tax treaty between the United States and the PRC may elect to treat the gain as PRC source income. Each U.S. Holder is advised to consult its tax advisor regarding the tax consequences if a foreign tax is imposed on the disposition of the Common Shares, including the availability of the foreign tax credit under its particular circumstances.

 

  (v) Passive Foreign Investment Company Rules

 

  (A) Under the Code, the Company will be a PFIC for any taxable year in which, after the application of certain “look-through” rules with respect to subsidiaries, either (i) 75% or more of its gross income consists of “passive income,” or (ii) 50% or more of the average quarterly value of its assets consist of assets that produce, or are held for the production of, “passive income.” Passive income generally includes interest, dividends, rents, certain non-active royalties and capital gains. The Company is treated as owning its proportionate share of the assets and earning its proportionate share of the income of any other corporation in which it owns, directly or indirectly, more than 25% (by value) of the stock. Whether the Company will be a PFIC in the 2016 or any future year is uncertain, because the fair market value of the Company’s assets may be determined in large part by the market price of the Common Shares, which is likely to fluctuate. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be a PFIC in 2016 or any future years. The Company does not intend to perform any analysis to determine whether or not it is a PFIC or to assist U.S. Holders in, or to provide U.S. Holders with any information to assist them in, making determinations with respect to the Company’s status under the PFIC rules or for determining U.S. federal income tax liability and U.S. Holders of Common Shares should consult their tax advisors regarding the Company’s PFIC status.

 

133


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (B) If the Company were a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. Holder held Common Shares or during which such Holder held Exchange Convertible Bonds under certain rules relating to options on PFICs (assuming such U.S. Holder has not made a timely mark-to-market election, as described below), gain recognized by a U.S. Holder on a sale or other disposition (including certain pledges) of the Common Shares would be allocated ratably over the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the Common Shares. The amounts allocated to the taxable year of the sale or other disposition and to any year before the Company became a PFIC would be taxed as ordinary income. The amount allocated to each other taxable year would be subject to tax at the highest rate in effect for individuals or corporations, as appropriate, for that taxable year, and an interest charge would be imposed on the amount allocated to that taxable year. Further, to the extent that any distribution received by a U.S. Holder on its Common Shares exceeds 125% of the average of the annual distributions on the Common Shares received during the preceding three years or the U.S. Holder’s holding period, whichever is shorter, that distribution would be subject to taxation in the same manner as gain, described immediately above. Furthermore, distributions from a PFIC are not be eligible for taxation at the preferential rates applicable to “qualified dividend” income as described above.

 

  (C) In the event the Company is or becomes a PFIC and the Common Shares are traded on a “qualified exchange” or other market within the meaning of applicable Treasury regulations, a U.S. Holder can avoid certain of the adverse rules described above by making a mark-to-market election. U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding the availability of, and procedure for making, a mark-to-market election.

 

  (D) If the Company is classified as a PFIC, a U.S. Holder of Common Shares will generally be treated as owning stock owned by the Company in any direct or indirect subsidiaries that are also PFICs and will be subject to similar adverse rules with respect to distributions to the Company by, and dispositions by the Company of, the stock of such subsidiaries. A mark-to-market election is not permitted for the shares of any subsidiary of the Company that is also classified as a PFIC.

 

  (E) The Company does not intend to provide information necessary for U.S. Holders to make qualified electing fund elections.

 

  (F) If the Company is considered a PFIC, a U.S. Holder will also be subject to information reporting requirements, possibly on an annual basis.

 

134


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (i) CVRs

 

  (i) A U.S. Holder’s initial tax basis in a CVR received in the Scheme will equal the fair market value of such CVR as determined for United States federal income tax purposes, and the holding period for such CVR will begin on the day following the date of the consummation of the exchange.

 

  (ii) There is no legal authority directly addressing the United States federal income tax treatment of the CVRs. It is not clear (i) whether a payment received in respect of the CVR or from a sale or disposition of the CVR should be viewed as additional consideration in respect of the Scheme Claim or in respect of the CVR itself or (ii) how a CVR would itself be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, the amount, timing and character of any gain, income or loss with respect to the CVRs are uncertain. For example, it is possible that payments received with respect to a CVR, up to the amount of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the CVR, may be treated as a non-taxable return of a U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the CVR, with any amount received in excess of such basis treated as income, gain or loss. It is possible another method of basis recovery may apply. Further, it is not clear whether payments made with respect to a CVR, or upon a sale or disposition of a CVR, may be treated as payments with respect to a sale or exchange of a capital asset or as giving rise to ordinary income, whether because of the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the CVR or because of the treatment of a Scheme Claim exchanged therefor (or the U.S. Holder’s own tax position with respect to such Scheme Claim). A U.S. Holder who does not sell, exchange or otherwise dispose of a CVR may not be able to recognize a loss with respect to the CVR until the U.S. Holder’s right to receive CVR payments terminates.

 

  (iii) Although not entirely clear, a portion of any payment due more than six months following a U.S. Holder’s receipt of a CVR that is otherwise treated as gain to the U.S. Holder, may constitute imputed interest taxable as ordinary income under Section 483 of the Code. The portion of any CVR payment treated as imputed interest under Section 483 of the Code generally should equal the excess of the amount of the CVR payment over the present value of the amount as of the date a U.S. Holder receives the CVR, calculated using the applicable federal rate as the discount rate. A U.S. Holder of a CVR must include in its taxable income interest imputed pursuant to Section 483 of the Code using such U.S. Holder’s regular method of accounting.

 

  (iv) The United Stated federal income tax treatment of the CVRs is not certain. The Company does not intend to seek a ruling from the IRS regarding the tax treatment of the CVRs and it is possible that the IRS might successfully assert that payments with respect to, or sales or other dispositions of, the CVRs should be treated differently than described above.

Due to the legal and factual uncertainties regarding the tax treatment of the CVRs, U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors as to determine the timing and characterization of income, gain or loss resulting from the receipt of payments pursuant to, sale or other disposition of and expiration of the CVRs as well as foreign currency and sourcing considerations relating to income realized in respect of the CVRs, including with respect to the facts and circumstances related to the Scheme Claim exchanged for the CVR and the U.S. Holder’s tax position with respect to that Scheme Claim.

Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (j) Additional Considerations of U.S. Holders

 

  (i) Reportable Transaction Reporting

Under certain U.S. Treasury Regulations, U.S. Holders that participate in “reportable transactions” (as defined in the Treasury Regulations) must attach to their U.S. federal income tax returns a disclosure statement on IRS Form 8886. Under the relevant rules, a U.S. Holder may be required to treat a foreign currency exchange loss relating to the transactions described herein with respect to the Scheme Claims or Scheme Consideration as a reportable transaction if this loss exceeds the relevant threshold in the regulations. U.S. Holders should consult their own tax advisors as to the possible obligation to file IRS Form 8886 with respect to the transactions described herein, including without limitation, the disposition of any non-U.S. currency received.

 

  (ii) Backup Withholding

In general, information reporting requirements may apply to the receipt of certain payments of principal, interest or dividends or other payments received with respect to the Scheme Consideration on, the Notes, Common Shares, or CVRs, as the case may be, and the proceeds of disposition of Notes, Common Shares, or CVRs, to U.S. Holders other than certain exempt recipients such as corporations. The payor may be required to withhold backup withholding at a current rate of 28% on payments made within the United States, or by a U.S. payor or U.S. middleman or certain of their affiliates, on a Note, Common Share, or CVR to a Holder of a Note, Common Share, or CVR that is a U.S. person, other than an exempt recipient, if the Holder fails to furnish its correct taxpayer identification number or otherwise fails to comply with, or establish an exemption from, the backup withholding requirements.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. U.S. Holders generally will be entitled to credit any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules against such Holder’s federal income tax liability or to a refund of the amounts withheld, provided the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.

 

  (iii) FATCA

 

  (A) Sections 1471-1474 of the Code and the U.S. Treasury and IRS guidance issued thereunder (“FATCA”) generally may impose withholding at a rate of 30% on payments made to any foreign entity on debt obligations generating non-U.S. source interest issued by a foreign financial institution that (i) enters into certain agreements with the IRS or (ii) becomes subject to provisions of local law intended to implement an intergovernmental agreement entered into pursuant to FATCA, in each case to the extent such payments are attributable to U.S. source income (the so-called “foreign pass-thru payments”), unless the foreign entity receiving such payments complies with various U.S. information reporting and/or due diligence requirements (generally relating to ownership by U.S. persons of interests in or accounts with such foreign entity) or otherwise qualifies for an exemption. Withholding on payments on debt obligations issued by foreign financial institutions, including on debt obligations generating non-U.S. source interest, will not occur before 2019. Furthermore, obligations issued on or prior to the date that is six months after the date on which applicable final Treasury Regulations defining foreign pass-thru payments are filed generally would be “grandfathered” from FATCA unless materially modified after such date. Accordingly, if the Company is treated as a foreign financial institution, FATCA would apply to payments on the Notes only if there is a significant modification of the Notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes after the expiration of this grandfathering period.

 

136


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

  (B) Similar rules to those described above may apply owners of the Common Shares, except that the grandfathering exception does not apply with respect to equity. The application of FATCA to payments made under the CVRs is unclear and is likely to depend on the CVRs’ characterization as described in paragraph 12.2(i) above (CVRs). U.S. Holders should consult with their tax advisors.

 

  (C) The intergovernmental agreement between Hong Kong and the United States modifies the requirements in this section and an intergovernmental agreement between the United States and a foreign country where a holder or intermediary is located may further modify such requirements.

 

  (D) U.S. Holders are urged to consult with their tax advisors regarding the application of FATCA to the Scheme Consideration.

The above discussion is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the Schemes. U.S. Holders are urged to consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax considerations of their particular situations. Hong Kong Taxation

12.3 Hong Kong Taxation

 

  (a) Withholding Tax

No withholding tax in Hong Kong is payable on payment of principal or interest or distribution with respect to the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds or in respect of any capital gains arising from the sale of the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds.

 

  (b) Profits Tax

 

  (i) Hong Kong profits tax is chargeable on every person carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong with respect to assessable profits arising in or derived from Hong Kong from such trade, profession or business (excluding profits arising from the sale of capital assets).

 

  (ii) Under the Inland Revenue Ordinance (Cap. 112 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “Inland Revenue Ordinance”) as it is currently applied, Hong Kong profits tax may be charged on profits arising on the sale, disposal or redemption (as applicable) of the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds where such sale, disposal or redemption is or forms part of a trade, profession or business carried on in Hong Kong.

 

  (iii) Interest on and distributions from the New HY Notes, the CVRs, the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and any Exchange Convertible Bonds issued pursuant to the Automatic Exchange Transaction will be subject to Hong Kong profits tax where such interest has a Hong Kong source, and is received by or accrues to:

 

  (A) a financial institution (as defined in the Inland Revenue Ordinance) and arises through or from the carrying on by the financial institutions of its business in Hong Kong; or

 

  (B) a corporation carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong and where the interest or distribution is derived from Hong Kong; or

 

  (C) a person (other than a corporation) carrying on a trade, profession or business in Hong Kong and such interest or distribution is with respect to the funds of the trade, profession or business and where the interest or distribution is derived from Hong Kong.

 

  (c) Stamp Duty

No Hong Kong stamp duty will be chargeable upon the issue or the subsequent transfer of the New HY Notes, the CVRs, the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and any Exchange Convertible Bonds issued pursuant to the Automatic Exchange Transaction (for so long as the relevant registers of holders are maintained outside Hong Kong).

 

138


Explanatory Statement – Part 5 - Taxation

 

 

12.4 PRC Taxation

 

  (a) The following summary of certain PRC tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds is based upon applicable laws, rules and regulations in effect as of the date of this Explanatory Statement, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect). This discussion does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of the New HY Notes, CVRs and Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and does not purport to deal with consequences applicable to all categories of investors, some of which may be subject to special rules. Persons considering the purchase of the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds, including such possible consequences under the laws of their country of citizenship, residence or domicile.

 

  (b) Taxation on Interest The Enterprise Income Tax Laws, effective January 1, 2008, impose a tax at the rate of 10% on interest paid to holders of the New HY Notes that are “non-resident enterprises” so long as any such “non-resident enterprise” holder does not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or, despite the existence of establishment or place of business in the PRC, the relevant income is not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business in the PRC, to the extent such interest is sourced within the PRC. Pursuant to these provisions of the Enterprise Income Tax Laws, despite many uncertainties with respect to their application, if the Company is considered a PRC resident enterprise, interest payable to non-resident enterprise holders on the New HY Notes and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or payments made to non-resident enterprises holders under the CVRs may be treated as income derived from sources within the PRC and be subject to the PRC withholding tax. To the extent that China has entered into arrangements relating to the avoidance of double-taxation with any jurisdiction, such as Hong Kong, that allow a lower rate of withholding tax, such lower rate may apply to qualified investors in the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds.

 

  (c) Taxation on Capital Gains. The Enterprise Income Tax Laws, impose a tax at the rate of 10% on capital gains realized by holders of the New HY Notes that are “non-resident enterprises” so long as any such “non-resident enterprise” holder does not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or, despite the existence of establishment or place of business in the PRC, the relevant gain is not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business in the PRC, to the extent such capital gains are sourced within the PRC. Pursuant to these provisions of the Enterprise Income Tax Laws, despite many uncertainties with respect to their application, if the Company is considered a PRC resident enterprise, the capital gains realized by holders of the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds may be treated as income derived from sources within the PRC and be subject to the PRC tax. To the extent that the PRC has entered into arrangements relating to the avoidance of double-taxation with any jurisdiction, such as Hong Kong, that allow a lower rate of withholding tax, such lower rate may apply to qualified investors in the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds.

 

  (d) Stamp duty. No PRC stamp tax will be chargeable upon the issue or transfer (for so long as the register of holders of the Notes is maintained outside the PRC) of the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds.

PART 6 – RISK FACTORS

 

 

 

13 RISK FACTORS

The following summarises some of the principal risks and uncertainties that may arise in connection with the Schemes. It should be read in conjunction with all of the other information contained in this Explanatory Statement including the risk factors referred to in the AlixPartners Report. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deem immaterial may become material and have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of the operations of the Group. This Explanatory Statement also contains forward-looking statements, which necessarily involve risks and uncertainties of their own. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors and circumstances, including the risks and uncertainties described in this Explanatory Statement and other factors outside of the Company’s control.

The risk factors set out in this part of the Explanatory Statement are not, and are not intended to be, exhaustive and Scheme Creditors should make their own assessment, and where they are uncertain, take appropriate professional advice, in respect of any dealings with the Group. This part is included in the Explanatory Statement merely as an overview guide to Scheme Creditors as to certain factors they may want to take into consideration.

 

13.1 Risks related to the approval and effectiveness of the Schemes

The Scheme Creditors may not approve the Schemes

 

  (a) In order for the Schemes to become effective, each Scheme must be approved by more than 50% in number and 75% in value of the Scheme Creditors present, in person or by proxy, and voting at the Scheme Meetings. If the requisite majority of Scheme Creditors do not vote in favour of the Schemes at the Scheme Meetings, then the Restructuring Proposal will not be implemented pursuant to the Schemes or possibly at all. Under the RSA and the Support Undertaking, some Scheme Creditors have given undertakings to vote in favour of the Scheme; however, such undertakings may cease to be binding in certain circumstances under the terms of the RSA and/or the Support Undertaking.

Even if the Scheme Creditors approve the Schemes, the Schemes may not be approved by the High Court or the Grand Court

 

  (b) In order for the Hong Kong Scheme to become effective under Hong Kong law and the Cayman Scheme to become effective under Cayman law, the High Court must sanction the Hong Kong Scheme and the Grand Court must sanction the Cayman Scheme. Each of the High Court and the Grand Court has discretion whether or not to sanction the relevant Scheme and will need to be satisfied that (i) the provisions of the applicable statute have been complied with; (ii) that the class(es) of creditors voting on the Scheme was/were properly constituted; (iii) each class was fairly represented by those who attended the meeting and the statutory majority are acting bona fide and are not coercing the minority in order to promote interests adverse to those of the class in question; and (iv) the arrangement is such that an intelligent and honest man, a member of the class concerned and acting in respect of his interest, might reasonably approve.

 

140


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (c) Even if the Schemes are approved at the Scheme Meetings, any Scheme Creditor which voted (or gave instructions to someone to vote on its behalf) at the Scheme Meetings may appear at the Sanction Hearings for either or both of the Schemes in order to make representations to object to the granting of any sanctioning order by either of the High Court and/or the Grand Court. The High Court and/or the Grand Court may also be prepared to hear such representations and objections on behalf of any other person whom they are satisfied has a substantial economic interest in the Schemes. Any objections made will delay or possibly prevent the Schemes from being sanctioned and becoming effective.

 

  (d) There can be no assurance that the High Court and/or the Grand Court will sanction the Schemes. If the High Court and/or the Grand Court do not sanction the Schemes, or are prepared to do so only subject to conditions or amendments which (i) the Company deems unacceptable or (ii) would have (directly or indirectly) a material adverse effect on the interests of any Scheme Creditors (and such conditions and amendments are not approved by the Scheme Creditor) the Schemes will remain ineffective.

 

  (e) Further, even if the High Court and the Grand Court sanction the Schemes, it is possible for any person who opposed the sanctioning of either Scheme at a sanction hearing to appeal against the granting of the sanctioning order by the High Court and/or the Grand Court. Any such appeals and/or subsequent litigation could delay the Schemes becoming effective or possibly prevent the Schemes from becoming effective at all.

No one can assure that the Chapter 15 Recognition Order will be granted in respect of the Schemes

 

  (f) The Schemes are each interconditional, and the granting of the Chapter 15 Recognition Order is a condition of the Hong Kong Scheme (which condition may be waived by the Company and the Existing Notes Trustee and, if there are any Initial Consenting Creditors, the Initial Consenting Creditors Majority). If the Company or the Existing Notes Trustee do not to waive that condition, or the High Court and/or the Grand Court grants the sanctioning orders subject to the granting of the Chapter 15 Recognition Order (i.e. removing the ability of the Company and the Existing Notes Trustee to waive the condition), the failure to obtain a Chapter 15 Recognition will result in the Schemes not becoming effective.

 

  (g) In addition, there can be no assurance that the US Bankruptcy Court will grant the Chapter 15 Recognition Order in connection with the Schemes. It is subject to a number of considerations by the US Bankruptcy Court under the laws of the United States.

The Schemes are interconditional

 

  (h) As stated above, the Schemes are interconditional. That is, the effectiveness of the Cayman Scheme is conditional on the sanctioning of the Hong Kong Scheme by the High Court and the effectiveness of the Hong Kong Scheme is conditional on the sanctioning of the Cayman Scheme by the Grand Court. Consequently, if one of the Schemes is not sanctioned by the relevant Court, or any conditions for either to become effective are not satisfied or waived (as applicable), then both Schemes will fail to become effective.

 

141


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The Schemes are subject to a number of conditions and failure to fulfil any one of those conditions will result in the Schemes not proceeding

 

  (i) The conditions to the Schemes are set out in Part 3 (Transaction Overview) of this Explanatory Statement

 

13.2 Risks related to a failure to implement or a delay in implementing the Schemes

If the Schemes are not implemented or are materially delayed, the directors of the Company may have to take steps to put the Company into a form of insolvency proceeding

 

  (a) The Board has been able to permit the Company and the Group to continue to trade as a going concern largely due to both the continued support of certain of its creditors and the Board’s reasonable belief that the Schemes are likely to be implemented in a timely manner.

 

  (b) If the Schemes are not implemented, the Board may have to take steps to put the Company into some form of insolvency procedure to protect its assets for the benefit of all creditors.

 

  (c) If the Schemes are not implemented, and the Company enters into an insolvency procedure, then the proceeds available to Scheme Creditors are, based upon the analysis conducted by Deloitte, very likely to be reduced to a level materially lower than the potential value of the consideration they would receive if the Schemes are implemented.

Liquidation of the Company

 

  (d) If steps are taken to commence winding-up proceedings against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, whether in Hong Kong or in the Cayman Islands or elsewhere, there will be a delay in taking the steps necessary to give effect to the Schemes and it may be that the Schemes will fail. It should, however, be noted that under Hong Kong and Cayman Law, it is possible for a liquidator (or provisional liquidator with the appropriate powers) to promulgate a scheme of arrangement. The same procedure for meetings, required majorities and sanctioning by the court will apply as for the Schemes.

Bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings for Onshore Operations

 

  (e) If the Company is placed into Official Liquidation or in liquidation in Hong Kong, the Subsidiaries may be subject to claims by creditors in each of their respective jurisdictions. As set out in Part 4 (Overview of the Group), the Onshore Operating Entities have outstanding onshore debts for the Onshore Operations of approximately RMB48.67 billion (as at 30 September 2015) and virtually all of the properties and land use rights of the Group have been pledged to PRC onshore lenders as collateral. If any of the Onshore Operating Entities were to be subject to an insolvency process, most of the assets and value of such entities would be subject to enforcement action by the Onshore Lenders and other local creditors with the proceeds from such enforcement to be used to repay amounts owing to such creditors. It is unlikely that any proceeds from this liquidation and sale of onshore assets and businesses will be available to satisfy offshore claims of the Scheme Creditors.

 

142


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

13.3 Risks following the implementation of the Schemes

The Group’s ability to pay its obligations as they fall due

 

  (a) As stated elsewhere in this Explanatory Statement, the purpose of the Restructuring Proposal is to enable the Company to recover from its current difficulties, for the benefit of all Stakeholders. However, Scheme Creditors should still bear in mind the following:

 

  (i) If the Company fails to comply with the undertakings and covenants under its remaining loan agreements or fails to obtain consents or waivers in respect of any breach of such undertakings and/or covenants, its financial condition, results of operations and business prospects may be materially and adversely affected.

 

  (ii) The Group’s ability to generate sufficient cash to satisfy outstanding and future debt and other obligations will depend upon its operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond its control. Such factors include the fact that certain of the Restrictions and Blockages described in Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of this Explanatory Statement are continuing.

 

  (b) The Group now has, and will continue to have following the Schemes, a substantial amount of indebtedness. The Group’s total indebtedness stated in the Unaudited Management Accounts, including both current and non-current borrowings, as of 31 December 2014 was RMB 65,119 million (US$10,023 million), respectively. As at 30 September 2015, the Group’s total borrowings were RMB66,067 million i.e. RMB 66 billion (US$10,169 million) The Group’s substantial indebtedness could have important consequences. For example, it could:

 

  (i) limit the Group’s ability to satisfy its obligations under the Scheme Consideration and other debt;

 

  (ii) increase the Group’s vulnerability to adverse general economic and industry conditions;

 

  (iii) require the Group to dedicate a substantial portion of its cashflow from operations to servicing and repaying its indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of the Group’s cashflow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes;

 

  (iv) limit the Group’s flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in its businesses and the industry in which the Group operates;

 

  (v) place the Group at a competitive disadvantage compared to the Group’s competitors that have less debt;

 

  (vi) limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants of the Group’s indebtedness, among other things, its ability to borrow additional funds; and

 

  (vii) increase the cost of additional financing.

 

  (c) In the future, the Group may from time to time incur substantial additional indebtedness and contingent liabilities in compliance with the covenants of the New HY Notes. If the Company or its subsidiaries incur additional debt, the risks that the Group faces as a result of its already substantial indebtedness and leverage could intensify.

 

143


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (d) The Group’s ability to generate sufficient cash to satisfy its outstanding and future debt obligations will depend upon its future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond the Group’s control, including, without limitation, the risks set forth below under “Risks related to the Group’s Business”. There is no assurance that the Group will be able to generate sufficient cashflow to meet the Group’s anticipated operating expenses and to service the Group’s debt obligations as they become due. If the Group is unable to service its indebtedness, the Group will be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions such as reducing or delaying capital expenditures, selling assets, further restructuring or refinancing the Group’s indebtedness or seeking equity capital. These strategies may not be instituted on satisfactory terms, if at all.

The Company’s cashflow forecasts relies on its ability to access a revolving credit facility

 

  (e) According to the Company’s cashflow forecast, the Company will need to draw down c.RMB4.3 billion from a revolving credit facility to service its onshore and offshore debt obligations in 2016. There are no assurances that the Company will be able to draw down this amount and even if it is able to do so, there are no assurances the interest costs and other associated fees will be in line with what has been forecast. If the Company is unable to draw down the required amount at a reasonable interest rate, then it may not be able to fully service its onshore and offshore debt obligations as envisioned.

The Company’s subsidiaries are subject to restrictions on the payment of dividends to the Group and its subsidiaries.

 

  (f) As a holding company, the Company depends on the receipt of dividends or advances from the Company’s subsidiaries, including its PRC subsidiaries, to satisfy the Company’s obligations, which will include its obligations under the Scheme Consideration. The ability of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends to their shareholders is subject to, among other things, distributable earnings, cashflow conditions, restrictions contained in the articles of association of the Company’s subsidiaries, applicable laws and restrictions contained in the debt instruments or agreements of such subsidiaries. In addition, if any of the Company’s subsidiaries raises capital by issuing equity securities to third parties, dividends declared and paid with respect to such equity securities would not be available to the Company to make payments in respect of the Scheme Consideration. These restrictions could reduce the amounts that the Company receives from its subsidiaries, which would restrict its ability to meet the Company’s payment obligations under the Scheme Consideration and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors or JV Subsidiary Guarantors (if any) under their respective Subsidiary Guarantees or JV Subsidiary Guarantees.

 

144


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (g) PRC laws and regulations permit payment of dividends only out of accumulated profits as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The Group’s PRC subsidiaries are also required to set aside a portion of their after-tax profits according to PRC accounting standards and regulations to fund certain reserves that are not distributable as cash dividends. In practice, the Group’s PRC project companies may pay dividends only after they have completed not only the project development, at least the development of a phase or a stand-alone tower or building, and the revenue recognition but also the required government tax clearance and foreign exchange procedures. In addition, dividends paid by the Group’s PRC subsidiaries to their non-PRC parent companies will be subject to a 10% withholding tax, unless there is a tax treaty between the PRC and the jurisdiction in which the overseas parent company is incorporated, which specifically exempts or reduces such withholding tax. Pursuant to avoidance of double taxation arrangements between Hong Kong and the PRC, if the non-PRC parent company is a Hong Kong resident and directly holds a 25% or more interest in the PRC enterprise, such withholding tax rate may be lowered to 5%, although there is uncertainty under a recent circular regarding whether intermediate Hong Kong holding companies will remain eligible for benefits under this arrangement. As a result of such restrictions, there could be timing limitations on payments from the Group’s PRC subsidiaries to meet payments required by the Scheme Consideration or satisfy its obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees or JV Subsidiary Guarantees, as the case may be, and there could be restrictions on payments required to redeem the New HY Notes, the CVRs, the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and the Exchange Convertible Bonds at maturity or as required for any early redemption or for payments required pursuant to the CVRs.

 

  (h) Furthermore, although the Group currently does not have any offshore shareholder loans to its PRC subsidiaries, the Group may resort to such offshore lending in the future, rather than equity contributions, to its PRC subsidiaries to finance their operations. In such events, the market interest rates that the Group’s PRC subsidiaries can pay with respect to offshore loans generally may not exceed comparable interest rates in the international finance markets. The Group’s PRC subsidiaries are also required to pay a 10% (or 7% if the interest is paid to a Hong Kong resident) withholding tax on the Group’s behalf on the interest paid under any shareholder loan. Prior to payment of interest and principal on any such shareholder loan, the PRC subsidiaries (as foreign-invested enterprises in the PRC) must present evidence of payment of the withholding tax on the interest payable on any such shareholder loan and evidence of registration with the PRC State Administration of Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, as well as any other documents that SAFE or its local branch may require.

 

  (i) As a result of the foregoing, there can be no assurance that the Company will have sufficient cashflow from dividends to satisfy its obligations under the Scheme Consideration or the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors or JV Subsidiary Guarantors (if any) under their respective Subsidiary Guarantees or JV Subsidiary Guarantees.

Future issuances of equity or equity-linked securities or debt securities

 

  (j) If the Group decides to meet any future funding requirements by way of additional debt financing, to the extent it could do so in compliance with the various covenants and restrictions contained in its financing arrangements, this may result in additional restrictions being placed on the Group, which may:

 

  (i) limit the Group’s ability to pay dividends or require it to seek consents before dividends are paid;

 

  (ii) increase the Group’s vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

 

  (iii) limit the Group’s ability to pursue its business strategies;

 

145


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (iv) require the Group to dedicate a substantial portion of its cashflow from operations to service its debts, thereby reducing the availability of cashflow to fund capital expenditures, working capital requirements and other general corporate needs; and

 

  (v) limit the Group’s flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and/or industry.

Insurance

 

  (k) There is no mandatory provision under the PRC laws, regulations and government rules which require a property developer to take out insurance policies for its real estate developments. According to the common practice of the property industry in the PRC, construction companies are usually required to submit insurance proposals in the course of tendering and bidding for construction projects. Construction companies must pay for the insurance premium at their own cost and take out insurance to cover their liabilities, such as third party’s liability risk, employer’s liability risk, risk of non-performance of contract in the course of construction and other kinds of risks associated with the construction and installation works throughout the construction period. The insurance coverage for all these risks will cease immediately after the completion and acceptance upon inspection of construction.

 

  (l) The Group monitors the safety measures adopted by its construction contractors and safety aspects of the construction process through engaging independent third-party supervisory companies to oversee compliance with environmental and health and safety laws and regulations. In relation to workplace safety on its construction sites, the Group’s construction contractors are generally responsible for any accidents or injuries not caused by the Group. The Group also require its construction contractors to purchase accident insurance to cover their workers and to adopt appropriate safety measures, including providing workers with safety training.

 

  (m) The Group maintains group accident insurance for its employees. The insurance primarily insures employees for personal injuries in the Group’s workplace or on its construction sites. The Group do not, however, maintain property damage or third-party liability insurance for its workplace, construction sites or property developments. Under PRC law, these types of insurance are not mandatory and may be purchased on a voluntary basis. The Group and its construction contractors monitor the quality and safety measures adopted at the Group’s construction sites to lower the risks of damage to its property and liabilities that may be attributable to it. The Group re-evaluates the risk profile of the property development business and adjusts its insurance practices from time to time. The Group believes the Group has sufficient insurance coverage in place and that its insurance practice is in line with the customary practice in the PRC real estate industry. The Group is subject to social insurance contribution plans organized by the PRC local governments.

 

  (n) The Group does not carry comprehensive insurance against all potential losses or damages with respect to its properties before their delivery to customers nor does the Group maintain insurance coverage against liability from tortious acts, property damage or personal injury relating to the construction and maintenance of its properties. Although the Group expects its third-party construction companies to maintain appropriate insurance coverage, it cannot be sure that the insurance would cover or be sufficient to satisfy all claims, or that they would not be sued or held liable for damages notwithstanding their insurance coverage.

 

146


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (o) However, there are risks that are not covered, and the Group is self-insured for money losses, damages and liabilities that may arise in its business operations. Moreover, there are certain losses for which insurance is not available in PRC, such as losses suffered due to war. If the Group suffers from any losses, damages or liabilities in the course of its business, it may not have sufficient financial resources to cover such losses, damages or liabilities or to satisfy its related obligations. Any payment the Group makes to cover any losses, damages or liabilities may have a material and adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Anti-takeover provisions could prevent a change of control

 

  (p) Although the Articles of Association permit the steps required to effect the Restructuring Proposal, they contain provisions that could delay, defer or prevent a change in control in the future that could be beneficial to the shareholders of the Company. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for shareholders to elect directors and take other corporate actions. As a result, these provisions could limit the price that investors are willing to pay in the future for the Common Shares and any shares issuable pursuant to the CVRs and Exchange Convertible Bonds and the New HY Notes. These provisions might also discourage a potential acquisition proposal or tender offer, even if the acquisition proposal or tender offer may be at a price above the then current market price of the Common Shares and the Scheme Consideration.

Cayman Islands laws on rights of shareholders are more limited than US law

 

  (q) The Company is a Cayman Islands company and its corporate affairs are governed by the Articles of Association, the Companies Law and the common law of the Cayman Islands. The rights of the Company’s shareholders to take action against the directors, actions that may be taken by minority shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of the Company’s directors under the Cayman Islands law are to a large extent governed by the common law of the Cayman Islands. The common law of the Cayman Islands is derived in part from comparatively limited judicial precedents in the Cayman Islands as well as those from the English common law, which has persuasive, but not binding, authority on a court in the Cayman Islands. The rights of shareholders and the fiduciary responsibilities of directors under the Cayman Islands law are not as clearly established as they are under statutes or judicial precedents in some jurisdictions in the U.S. In particular, the Cayman Islands has a less developed body of securities laws than the U.S. In addition, some U.S. States, such as Delaware, have more fully developed and judicially interpreted bodies of corporate law than the Cayman Islands, and Cayman Islands companies may not have standing to initiate a shareholder derivative action in a federal court of the U.S.

 

13.4 Risks related to the Scheme Consideration

The Company’s stock is currently suspended and there are no assurances that it can resume trading in the near term

 

  (a) In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Company is required to publish its audited 2014 Annual Report as well as any additional interim and annual reports such that it is up to date on its financial disclosure before its Common Shares can resume trading. Pursuant to the terms of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds, the Company has until 31 March 2017 to publish the 2014 Annual Report before it will be in default, but there are no assurances that it can do so, and even if it were able to, there are no assurances that it would have published all the other necessary financial reports to become up to date on its financial disclosures by that time. Also, there are no assurances as to how long, if at all, the SEHK will take to consider the Company to be in compliance with the Listing Rules and allow its Common Shares to resume trading. Without a resumption in trading of its Common Shares, the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds cannot be exchanged for the Exchange Convertible Bonds and the CVR Triggering Events are unlikely to occur.

 

147


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (b) Further, the Exchange Convertible Bonds cannot be issued until the Company has obtained the listing approval for the conversion shares to be issued upon an exercise of such conversion rights. As the SEHK will not issue such listing approval before approval for the Exchange Convertible Bonds at a general meeting is obtained, and may not issue such listing approval until the Company’s Common Shares have resumed trading, there are no assurances as to when (if at all) such listing approval may be obtained. In that case, the Exchange Convertible Bonds may not be issued for a long period of time after the Exchange Date, and the actual length of such period is highly uncertain. In the worst case scenario, the Exchange Convertible Bonds may not be issued at all during the tenor of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds. Due to such uncertainty, the value of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds will likely be adversely affected.

The Company is a holding company and payments with respect to the Scheme Consideration will be structurally subordinated to the liabilities, contingent liabilities and obligations of certain of its subsidiaries

 

  (c) The Company is a holding company with no material operations. The Company conducts its operations through its PRC subsidiaries. The Scheme Consideration will not be guaranteed by any current or future PRC subsidiaries. The Company’s primary assets are ownership interests in its PRC subsidiaries, which are held through the Subsidiary Guarantors and certain existing Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and may be held by JV Subsidiary Guarantors or New Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined herein) in the future. The Subsidiary Guarantors do not and the JV Subsidiary Guarantors (if any) may not, have material operations. Accordingly, the Company’s ability to pay principal and interest on the Scheme Consideration and the ability of the Subsidiary Guarantors and JV Subsidiary Guarantors (if any) to satisfy their obligations under the Subsidiary Guarantees or JV Subsidiary Guarantees (if any) will depend upon the Company’s receipt of principal and interest payments on the intercompany loans and distributions of dividends from its subsidiaries. Creditors, including trade creditors, of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries and any holders of preferred shares in such entities, would have a Claim on the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries’ assets that would have priority over the claims of holders of the Scheme Consideration. As a result, the Company’s payment obligations under the Scheme Consideration will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future obligations of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, including their obligations under guarantees they have issued or will issue in connection with their business operations, and all claims of creditors of the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries will have priority as to the assets of such entities over the Group’s claims and those of its creditors, including holders of the Scheme Consideration. As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries had unsubordinated indebtedness owed to third parties in the amount of RMB 48,669 million (US$7,491 million) and no financial guarantees provided to third parties, excluding mortgage buyers of the Group’s properties. The Scheme Consideration, the New Indentures and New Trust Deed permit the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, the JV Subsidiary Guarantors (if any) and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and issue additional guarantees, subject to certain limitations. In addition, the Company’s secured creditors or those of any Subsidiary Guarantor or JV Subsidiary Guarantor (if any) would have priority as to the Company’s assets or the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor or JV Subsidiary Guarantor (if any) securing the related obligations over claims of holders of the Scheme Consideration.

 

148


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (d) Under the terms of the New HY Notes, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and Exchange Convertible Bonds, a Subsidiary Guarantee required to be provided by a subsidiary of the Company under the terms of the New HY Notes, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and Exchange Convertible Bonds may be replaced by a limited-recourse guarantee, or JV Subsidiary guarantee, following the sale or issuance to, a third party of an equity interest in such subsidiary or its direct or indirect majority shareholders (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions). Recovery under a JV Subsidiary guarantee is limited to an amount equal to the Group’s proportional interest in the issued share capital of such Subsidiary Guarantor multiplied by the fair market value of the total assets in such JV Subsidiary Guarantor and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of the date of the last fiscal quarter end of the Company. As a result, the amount that may be recovered by the New HY Notes Trustee and New MEB Trustee pursuant to a JV Subsidiary guarantee (compared to a Subsidiary guarantee) is reduced, which in turn may affect your ability to recover any amounts due under the New HY Notes, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and Exchange Convertible Bonds.

If the Group does not comply with the restrictions and covenants in the New Indentures and/or CVR Agreement and/or New Trust Deed or its other debt agreements, the Group could face defaults under the terms of the New Indentures and/or the CVR Agreement and/or New Trust Deed or these agreements, which could cause repayment of its debt to be accelerated.

 

  (e) The Group’s failure to comply with the restrictions and covenants in the New Indentures, the CVR Agreement, the New Trust Deed or the Group’s current or future debt and other agreements could result in default under the terms of these agreements. In the event of a default under these agreements, the holders of the debt could terminate their commitments to lend to the Company, accelerate the debt and declare all amounts borrowed due and payable or terminate the agreements. Furthermore, some of the Group’s debt agreements, including the New Indentures and/or CVR Agreement and/or New Trust Deed, contain cross-acceleration or cross-default provisions. As a result, the Group’s default under one agreement could result in the acceleration of other debt, including the New HY Notes, CVRs, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and Exchange Convertible Bonds, or result in a default under its other debt agreements, including the New Indentures and/or New Trust Deed. If any of these events occur, there can be no assurance that the Group’s assets and cashflow would likely be sufficient to repay in full all of its indebtedness, and the Group may be unable to obtain alternative financing. Even if the Group was able to obtain alternative financing, there can be no assurance that it would be on terms that are favourable or acceptable to the Group.

 

  (f) The Group’s operations will be restricted by the terms of the New Indentures, New Trust Deed and the terms of its other indebtedness, which could limit its ability to plan for or to react to market conditions or meet its capital needs, which could increase your credit risk.

 

  (g) The New Indentures, New Trust Deed and the agreements governing certain of the Group’s other indebtedness include a number of significant restrictive covenants. These covenants restrict, among other things, the Group’s ability, and the ability of its Restricted Subsidiaries, to:

 

149


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (i) incur additional debt;

 

  (ii) make restricted payments;

 

  (iii) pay dividends or distributions on the Group’s capital stock, repurchase the Group’s capital stock, pay existing indebtedness, make or repay intercompany loans or advances or sell or transfer property or assets;

 

  (iv) sell capital stock;

 

  (v) guarantee indebtedness;

 

  (vi) enter into transactions with affiliates;

 

  (vii) create liens on the Group’s assets to secure debt;

 

  (viii) enter into sale and leaseback transactions;

 

  (ix) sell assets;

 

  (x) make investments;

 

  (xi) merge or consolidate with another company; and

 

  (xii) engage in different business activities.

 

  (h) These covenants could limit the Group’s ability to plan for or react to market conditions, to meet its capital needs or take advantage of business opportunities the Group believes to be desirable, obtain future financing, fund needed capital expenditures, significantly increase research and development expenditures, or withstand a continuing or future downturn in its businesses. Any of these could materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to satisfy its obligations under the Scheme Consideration and other indebtedness. The Group’s ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond its control, and the Group may have to curtail some of its operations and growth plans to maintain compliance.

 

  (i) If any amount is owed by the Company in respect of the CVRs at the time of an event of default and the Company does not satisfy its obligations to settle the CVRs, no default interest will accrue on amounts owed under the CVRs, and any claim to a proportionate share of the Company’s assets may be diminished by the accrual of interest or default interest in respect of the Company’s other obligations. In addition, the company has the right to cure certain events of default prior to the CVR Trustee’s exercise of enforcement remedies. If cured, the event of default and its consequences will be rescinded. No default interest will have accrued during the pendency of such event of default.

Company’s Prospects

 

  (j) The Company will have no payment obligations in respect of the CVRs unless the Company’s implied market capitalization exceeds the milestones set out in the CVRs prior to the expiration of the CVRs. Whether such milestones will be triggered will likely depend upon the success of the Restructuring, the Company’s business and other factors beyond the control of the Company. The Company’s market capitalization will be influenced by the Group’s operational results (which in turn are subject to the various risks to which its businesses and operations are subject) and by other factors, such as changes in the regulatory environment that may affect the markets in which the Company operates and capital markets in general. Corporate events such as share sales, reorganisations, takeovers or share buy-backs may also adversely affect the Company’s market capitalization. Any decline in the Company’s market capitalization would adversely affect the market price of the CVRs. Even if any of the CVR milestones are achieved, settlement of any payment triggered under the CVRs will not occur until the later of (i) six months after the relevant milestone is exceeded and (ii) the third anniversary of the date of the CVR Agreement, unless such payment obligation is accelerated in accordance with the terms of the CVRs.

 

150


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

Stock Settlement and Stock Trading Suspension, Delisting and Illiquidity Risks in relation to the CVRs

 

  (k) The Common Shares are listed on SEHK but are currently subject to a trading suspension. While the Company will covenant to use reasonable efforts to maintain the listing of the Common Shares, there can be no assurance that the Common Shares will resume trading. In order to resume trading under the Listing Rules, the Company is required to publish its audited FY2014 annual report as well as any additional interim and annual reports. If the Common Shares do not resume trading, the CVRs will expire worthless. If the Common Shares resume trading, the market price of the CVRs at any time will be affected by, among other things, fluctuations in the Company’s market capitalization. The CVR milestones are subject to adjustment in the event that there is a capital distribution by the Company, but such adjustment mechanisms do not provide protection against every corporate or other event that may affect the Company’s market capitalization. Events in respect of which no adjustment is made may adversely affect the Company’s market capitalization and, therefore, adversely affect the value of the CVRs.

 

  (l) Under certain circumstances, the Company has the option to settle the payment obligations under the CVRs by issuance of Common Shares to CVR holders. If a payment obligation does arise under the CVRs, settlement thereof by the Company through the issuance of Common Shares may be made in circumstances in which the Common Shares would no longer trade following the settlement of such payment or such Common Shares would be converted into the shares of another entity. There can be no assurances that the Common Shares or any other shares paid in settlement of the CVRs would have the value specified in the CVR milestones at the time of settlement or thereafter. Furthermore, a cross-default under the CVRs may accelerate a payment obligation that the Company may settle in Common Shares under circumstances where such Common Shares would not be tradable or the Company may be unable to settle such payment obligation at all. Failure to settle a payment obligation under the CVRs could result in a cross-default with other indebtedness of the Company, which indebtedness may be entitled to payment prior to the CVRs.

CVR holders will have no voting rights or rights to dividends

 

  (m) A CVR does not entitle the holder thereof to any of the rights of a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends, or other distributions, exercise any preemptive rights to vote or to consent or to receive notice as stockholders in respect of the meetings of stockholders or attend such meetings or the election of directors of the Company or any other matter.

 

151


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

In connection with certain Fundamental Changes and Events of Default, CVR holders will have the right to receive payment only with respect to milestones that have been met, and, in connection with such events, settlement can in certain circumstances be made in Common Shares at the election of the Company

 

  (n) Upon certain Fundamental Changes, including a liquidation of the Company or a merger or sale of assets in which the Common Shares remain outstanding, and events of default, CVR holders will have the right to receive payment in respect of milestones that have been met but will have no right to any future payments with respect to milestones that were not met at the time of such Fundamental Change. Upon certain events of default, the Company’s payment obligation under the CVRs will accelerate but the Company can make payment in Common Shares rather than cash unless the event of default was due to delisting of the Common Shares (or an event of default that would result in delisting with the passage of time or notice) or cross default under other indebtedness. Under these circumstances, the Common Shares may not maintain their value or trading may be volatile. In addition, upon a Fundamental Change involving a merger or sale of assets, where the consideration received is stock of another entity that is traded on SEHK, the Company may elect to satisfy the CVRs in Common Shares, in which case holders would receive shares of such other entity in connection with such transaction rather than cash. There can be no assurances as to the value of such consideration or the continued liquidity of the stock of such other entity.

An active trading market for the Scheme Consideration may not develop, and the trading prices of the Scheme Consideration could be materially and adversely affected

 

  (o) The Scheme Consideration will be newly issued securities. There will have been no trading market for the Scheme Consideration prior to the completion of the Schemes. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for the New HY Notes, CVRs, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and Exchange Convertible Bonds will develop. If there is not an active market for the any of these securities, the trading prices of such securities could be materially adversely affected. Application will be made for the listing and quotation of the New HY Notes, CVRs, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and Exchange Convertible Bonds on the SGX-ST. However, there can be no assurance that the Group will be able to achieve or maintain such listing or that a trading market for such securities will exist. The New HY Notes, CVRs, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and Exchange Convertible Bonds may not be publicly offered, sold, pledged or otherwise transferred in any jurisdiction where registration may be required. Lack of a liquid and active trading market for the Scheme Consideration could also impede a holder’s ability to dispose of such securities. Historically, the market for non-investment grade debt has been subject to disruptions that have caused substantial volatility in the prices of such securities. There can be no assurance that the market for the Scheme Consideration will not be subject to similar disruptions. Any such disruption may have an adverse effect on the holders of such securities.

 

152


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The Group may be subject to risks presented by fluctuations in exchange rates between RMB and other currencies, particularly the U.S. dollar

 

  (p) The Scheme Consideration is denominated in U.S. dollars, while substantially all of the Group’s revenues are generated by its PRC operating subsidiaries and are denominated in RMB. Pursuant to reforms of the exchange rate system announced by PBOC on 21 July 2005, RMB-to-foreign currency exchange rates are allowed to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of foreign currencies, rather than being effectively linked to the U.S. dollar. As a result of a series of current policy changes, the RMB appreciated against the U.S. dollar by approximately 33.4% from 21 July 2005 to 31 December 2014. The PRC government may adopt further reforms of its exchange rate system, including making the RMB freely convertible in the future. If such reforms were implemented and resulted in the devaluation of the RMB against the U.S. dollar, the Group’s financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected because of the Group’s substantial U.S. dollar denominated indebtedness and other obligations. Such devaluation could also adversely affect the value, translated or converted into U.S. dollars or otherwise, of the Group’s earnings and the Company’s ability to satisfy its obligations under the US dollar denominated Scheme Consideration.

 

  (q) There are limited hedging instruments available in the PRC to reduce the Group’s exposure to exchange rate fluctuations between the RMB and other currencies. Following the consummation of the Schemes, the Group may enter into foreign exchange or interest rate hedging arrangements in respect of its U.S. dollar-denominated liabilities. These hedging arrangements may require the Group to pledge or transfer cash and other collateral to secure the Group’s obligations under the arrangements, and the amount of collateral required may increase as a result of mark-to-market adjustments. If the Group was unable to provide such collateral, it could constitute a default under such hedging arrangements.

 

  (r) Any hedging obligation entered into or to be entered into by the Group or its subsidiaries, may contain terms and conditions that may result in the early termination, in whole or in part, of such hedging obligation upon the occurrence of certain termination or analogous events or conditions (howsoever described), including such events relating to the Group and/or any of the Group’s subsidiaries, and the terms and conditions of such hedging obligation(s) may provide that, in respect of any such early termination, limited or no payments may be due and payable to, or that certain payments may be due and payable by, the Group and/or any of the Company’s subsidiaries (as relevant) in respect of any such early termination. Any such early termination, in whole or in part, of any such hedging obligation(s), and the payment and any other consequences and effects of such early termination(s), may be material to the Group’s financial condition and/or any of the Group’s subsidiaries and may be material in relation to the performance of their respective US dollar denominated obligations and commitments.

The RMB is not freely convertible; there are significant restrictions on the remittance of RMB into and outside the PRC; and the availability of RMB funds from the Group’s PRC operations for servicing the Scheme Consideration may be subject to future limitations imposed by the PRC government

 

  (s) The RMB is not freely convertible at present. The PRC government continues to regulate conversion between RMB and foreign currencies despite the significant reduction over the years by the PRC government of control over routine foreign exchange transactions under current accounts. Participating banks in Hong Kong have been permitted to engage in the cross-border RMB clearing and settlement services under a pilot scheme introduced in July 2009. This represents a current account activity. The pilot scheme was extended in July 2011 to cover all of the PRC and to make RMB settlement in cross-border trade available in all countries worldwide.

 

153


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (t) On 13 October 2011, the PBOC promulgated the Administrative Measures on Settlement of Cross-Border RMB Direct Investment (PBOC Announcement 2011 No. 23) (the “PBOC Measures”) to roll out the PBOC’s detailed RMB foreign direct investments (“RMB FDI”) administration system, which covers almost all aspects of RMB FDI, including capital injection, payment of purchase price in the acquisition of PRC domestic enterprises, repatriation of dividends and distribution, as well as RMB denominated cross-border loans.

 

  (u) On 14 June 2012, the PBOC issued the Notice of PBOC on Clarifying the Detailed Operating Rules for RMB Settlement of Foreign Direct Investment (the “PBOC RMB FDI Detail Rules”), pursuant to which, a foreign-invested enterprise is allowed to borrow RMB funds from overseas only after its registered capital is paid up in full as scheduled. However, foreign-invested real estate enterprises are not allowed to borrow RMB funds from overseas. In addition, PBOC RMB FDI Detail Rules also require that a foreign-invested enterprise shall not use RMB funds in its RMB special deposit account for registered capital and its RMB general deposit account for offshore loans for purchase of financial products or properties not for its own use; as for the foreign-invested enterprises with no investment nature, such RMB funds also cannot be used for reinvestment in the territory of the PRC.

 

  (v) On 3 December 2013, the PRC Ministry of Commerce (the “MOFCOM”) promulgated the Circular on Issues Concerning Cross-Border RMB Direct Investment (“MOFCOM Circular”). Pursuant to the MOFCOM Circular, proceeds of RMB FDI may not be used towards investment in securities, financial derivatives or entrustment loans in the PRC, except for strategic investments in PRC domestic listed companies. As new regulations, the PBOC Measures, the PBOC RMB FDI Detail Rules and the MOFCOM Circular will be subject to interpretation and application by the relevant PRC authorities.

 

  (w) There is no assurance that the PRC government will continue to gradually liberalise the control over cross-border RMB remittance in the future or that new PRC regulations will not be promulgated in the future which have the effect of restricting the remittance of RMB into or outside the PRC. In the event that the Group is not able to repatriate funds out of the PRC in RMB, the Group will need to source funds offshore to finance its obligations under the Scheme Consideration.

The Group may be unable to obtain and remit foreign exchange

 

  (x) Substantially all of the Group’s revenue is denominated in RMB. The PRC government imposes controls on the convertibility of RMB into foreign currencies and, in certain cases, the remittance of currency out of the PRC. Under existing PRC foreign exchange regulations, payments of certain current account items, including profit distributions, interest payments and expenditures from trade related transactions, can be made in foreign currencies without prior approval from SAFE by complying with certain procedural requirements. However, approval from SAFE or its local branch is required where RMB is to be converted into foreign currency and remitted out of the PRC to pay capital expenses such as the repayment of bank loans denominated in foreign currencies. The PRC government may also at its discretion restrict access in the future to foreign currencies for current account transactions.

 

  (y) Under the Group’s current corporate structure, its income is primarily derived from dividend payments from its PRC subsidiaries. Shortages in the availability of foreign currency may restrict the ability of the Company’s PRC subsidiaries to remit sufficient foreign currency to pay dividends or other payments to the Company, or otherwise satisfy their foreign currency-denominated obligations. If the foreign exchange control system prevents the Company from obtaining sufficient foreign currency to satisfy its currency demands, the Company may not be able to pay interest to holders of the Scheme Consideration. In addition, since a significant amount of the Group’s future cashflow from operations will be denominated in RMB, any existing and future restrictions on currency exchange may limit the Group’s ability to purchase goods and services outside of the PRC or otherwise fund its business activities that are conducted in foreign currencies.

 

154


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

Enforcement of rights under the Scheme Consideration across multiple jurisdictions may prove difficult

 

  (z) The Company is incorporated under the laws of the Cayman Islands and the initial Subsidiary Guarantors are incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong and the New HY Notes and CVRs are governed by New York law and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds are governed by English law. In the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or a similar event, proceedings could be initiated in the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong or other jurisdictions where future Subsidiary Guarantors or JV Subsidiary Guarantors may be established. Such multi-jurisdictional proceedings are likely to be complex and costly for creditors and otherwise may result in greater uncertainty and delay regarding the enforcement of the holder’s rights under the New Indentures and/or New Trust Deed. Holders’ rights under the New Indentures and/or New Trust Deed will be subject to the insolvency and administrative laws of several jurisdictions and there can be no assurance that the holder will be able to effectively enforce its rights in such complex multiple bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings. In addition, the bankruptcy, insolvency, administrative and other laws of the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong and elsewhere may be materially different from, or be in conflict with, each other and those with which the holder may be familiar, including in the areas of rights of creditors, priority of governmental and other creditors, ability to obtain post-petition interest and duration of the proceeding. The application of these laws, or any conflict among them, could call into question whether any particular jurisdiction’s laws should apply, and could adversely affect the holder’s ability to enforce its rights under the Scheme Consideration, the related Subsidiary Guarantees or JV Subsidiary Guarantees and/or New Indentures and/or New Trust Deed in the relevant jurisdictions or limit any amounts that the holder may receive.

The terms of the Scheme Consideration permit the Group to make investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries and minority owned joint ventures

 

  (aa) In light of land prices, sizes of projects, the competitive landscape and other factors, the Group may from time to time consider developing properties jointly with other property developers. As a result, the Group may need to make investments in joint ventures (including joint ventures in which the Group may own less than a 50% equity interest) and such joint ventures may or may not be Restricted Subsidiaries under the New Indentures and/or New Trust Deed governing the New HY Notes, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and any Exchange Convertible Bonds. Although the New Indentures and/or New Trust Deed governing the Scheme Consideration restrict the Group and its Restricted Subsidiaries from making investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries under the New Indentures and/or New Trust Deed or joint ventures, these restrictions are subject to important exceptions and qualifications, including, among others, that the Group may, subject to certain conditions, make investments in Unrestricted Subsidiaries and minority owned joint ventures in an aggregate amount not to exceed 20% of its total assets without having to satisfy the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio.

 

155


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

Certain terms of the Scheme Consideration may be amended without the consent of each holder affected thereby

 

  (bb) Each of the New Indentures and/or New Trust Deed will provide that certain terms of the New HY Notes, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and any Exchange Convertible Bonds, including the amendment and release of Subsidiary guarantees and the New Collateral, may be amended with the consent of holders of 90% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding series of New HY Notes, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and any Exchange Convertible Bonds. In respect of the CVRs, certain terms of the CVR Agreement may be amended with the consent of holders holding not less than 50% of the outstanding CVRs. In addition, the New Indentures will provide that interest payment on the Scheme Consideration may be postponed by up to three years with the consent of holders of 75% in aggregate principal amount New HY Notes, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds or Exchange Convertible Bonds of the relevant series thereof, as permitted under the U.S. Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. Under the Existing Indentures and/or CB Trust Deed, similar amendments would require the consent of each holder affected thereby.

Interest on the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or the Exchange Convertible Bonds may be paid in the form of PIK Notes for a period of time

 

  (cc) For the two year period from (and including) the original issue date of the New HY Notes and to (but excluding) the second anniversary of such date, the Company may choose to pay interest on the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or (subject to certain provisions in the terms and condition) the Exchange Convertible Bonds in PIK Notes in lieu of cash. If the Company chooses to do so, a holder of New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or the Exchange Convertible Bonds, as the case may be, will not receive interest on the relevant interest payment date in cash but additional notes of a principal amount equal to the interest amount due. Therefore, a holder of New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or the Exchange Convertible Bonds, as the case may be, may be subject to greater risk of loss of interest if the Company is unable to repay all outstanding principal amount of New HY Notes of the relevant series and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or the Exchange Convertible Bonds, as the case may be, on the maturity date of such series. In addition, since the issuance of PIK Notes increases the outstanding principal amount of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or the Exchange Convertible Bonds, as the case may be, the Company will incur additional future interest expense to the extent of such increase in outstanding principal amount, which, in turn, may materially and adversely affect the Company’s liquidity and financial condition.

 

156


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The Scheme Consideration will initially be held in book entry form only, and you must rely on the procedures of the relevant clearing systems to exercise any rights and remedies

 

  (dd) The Scheme Consideration will initially only be issued in global certificated form and held through Euroclear and/or Clearstream and their respective participants. Interests in the global notes and global certificate and global CVR will trade in book entry form only, and definitive registered notes and convertible notes and direct registration CVRs will be issued in exchange for book entry interests only in very limited circumstances. Owners of book entry interests will not be considered owners or registered holders of such securities. The nominee of the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, as the case may be, will be the sole registered holder of the global notes representing the New HY Notes, the global CVR representing the CVRs and the global certificate representing the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds. Payments of principal, interest and other amounts owing on or in respect of the global notes representing the New HY Notes, the global CVR representing the CVRs and the global certificate representing the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds will be made to the paying agent which will make payments to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be. Thereafter, these payments will be credited to accounts of participants that hold book entry interests in the global notes representing the New HY Notes, the global CVR representing the CVRs and the global certificate representing the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and may be credited by such participants to indirect participants. After payment to the nominee of the common depositary for Euroclear and Clearstream, as the case may be, the Company will have no responsibility or liability for the payment of interest, principal or other amounts to the owners of book entry interests. Accordingly, if the holder of such securities owns a book entry interest, the holder must rely on the procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, and on the procedures of the participant through which the holder owns its interest, to exercise any rights and obligations of a holder of New HY Notes under the relevant New Indenture, a holder of CVRs under the CVR Agreement or of a holder of Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds or Exchange Convertible Bonds under the New Trust Deed.

 

  (ee) Unlike the registered holders of the New HY Notes, the CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds themselves, owners of book entry interests will not have the direct right to act upon the Company’s solicitations for consents, requests for waivers or other actions from registered holders of the New HY Notes, CVRs and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds. Instead, if the holder owns a book entry interest, the holder will be permitted to act only to the extent it has received appropriate proxies to do so from Euroclear and Clearstream. The procedures implemented for the granting of such proxies may not be sufficient to enable the holder to vote on a timely basis.

 

  (ff) Similarly, upon the occurrence of an event of default under a New Indenture and/or a New Trust Deed, unless and until definitive registered notes are issued in respect of all book entry interests, if you own a book entry interest, you will be restricted to acting through Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be. The procedures to be implemented through Euroclear and Clearstream may not be adequate to ensure the timely exercise of rights under the Scheme Consideration.

Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The Group may be unable to finance an offer to repurchase the Scheme Consideration upon a Change of Control Triggering Event.

 

  (gg) Upon the occurrence of a “Change of Control Triggering Event,” as such term is defined in the New Indentures, the Company will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding New HY Notes for cash at a price of 101% of their principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any and upon the occurrence of a “Relevant Event”, as such terms is defined in the New Trust Deed, a holder of Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds will have the right to require the Company to redeem all outstanding Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds at a price equal to their principal amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. In connection with the Company’s repurchase of the New HY Notes and/or redemption of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds, as applicable, the Company may also be required to repay other debt outstanding at the time, or obtain consents from the lenders of such debt to permit the repurchase of the New HY Notes and/or redemption of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds, as applicable. If the Group is unable to repay such debt or obtain such consents, the Company may either repurchase the New HY Notes and/or redeem the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds in violation of these other debt agreements or elect not to repurchase the New HY Notes and/or redeem the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds. The Company’s failure to repurchase the New HY Notes and/or redeem the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds would constitute an event of default under the New Indentures and result in a cross-default under the New Trust Deed. There can be no assurance that the Company would have sufficient funds available at the time of a Change of Control Triggering Event or Relevant Event, as the case may be, to make any debt repayment (including a repurchase of the New HY Notes) as described above.

Certain transactions that constitute “connected transactions” under the Listing Rules will not be subject to the “Limitation on Transactions with Shareholders and Affiliates” covenant

 

  (hh) The Company’s shares are listed on the SEHK and the Company is required to comply with the Listing Rules, which provide, among other things, that any transaction between a listed company or any of its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a “connected person” of such listed company, on the other hand, is a “connected transaction” that, if the value of such transaction exceeds the applicable de minimis thresholds, will require the prior approval of the independent shareholders of such listed company. The definition of “connected person” to a listed company includes, among others, any 10% or more shareholder of (i) such listed company or (ii) any subsidiary of such listed company. The concept of “connected person” also captures “associates,” which include, among others, (a) any subsidiary of such “connected person,” (b) any holding company of such “connected person” and any subsidiary of such holding company, and (c) any company in which such entity or entities mentioned in (a) and (b) above taken together has/have the power to exercise control, directly or indirectly, of 30% or more of the voting power of such company.

 

  (ii) The “Limitation on Transactions with Shareholders and Affiliates” covenant in the New HY Notes only applies to transactions between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, on the one hand, and (a) any holder (or any affiliate of such holder) of 10% or more of the shares of the Company or (b) any affiliate of the Company, on the other hand. As such, transactions between the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, on the one hand, and an affiliate of any Restricted Subsidiary, on the other hand, will not be captured by such covenant, even though they are subject to the independent shareholders’ requirement under the Listing Rules. As a result, the Company is not required by the terms of the Scheme Consideration to ensure that any such transactions are on terms that are fair and reasonable, and the Company will not need to deliver officers’ certificates or procure the delivery of fairness opinions of accounting, appraisal or investment banking firms to the trustee of the Scheme Consideration for any such transactions.

Scheme Consideration may be illiquid

 

  (jj) There may be no market for the Scheme Consideration or any securities issued in exchange thereof. To the extent any such securities become tradable, the price and trading volume thereof may be highly volatile. Factors such as variations in the Group’s revenues, earnings and cashflows, proposals for new investments, strategic alliances and/or acquisitions, changes in interest rates, fluctuations in price for comparable companies, government regulations and changes thereof applicable to the Group’s industry and general economic conditions nationally or internationally could cause the price of such securities to change. Any such developments may result in large and sudden changes in the trading volume and price of such securities. There can be no assurance that these developments will not occur in the future.

 

158


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The Company will follow the applicable corporate disclosure standards for debt securities listed on the SGX-ST, which standards may be different from those applicable to companies in certain other countries

 

  (kk) The Company will be subject to reporting obligations in respect of the New HY Notes, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or Exchange Convertible Bonds if listed on the SGX-ST. The disclosure standards imposed by the SGX-ST may be different than those imposed by securities exchanges in other countries or regions such as the United States or Hong Kong. As a result, the level of information that is available may not correspond to what you are accustomed to.

 

13.5 Risks related to the Subsidiary Guarantees, the JV Subsidiary guarantees and the Existing Collateral

The initial Subsidiary Guarantors do not currently have significant operations and certain Subsidiary guarantees may in some cases be replaced by limited-recourse guarantees

 

  (a) The Company conducts substantially all of its business operations through its PRC subsidiaries, but none of the Company’s current PRC subsidiaries will provide a Subsidiary Guarantee or a JV Subsidiary Guarantee either upon issuance of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds or at any time thereafter. No future subsidiaries that are organised under the laws of the PRC, or that are not permitted by applicable law or regulation to guarantee the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds (the “Exempted Subsidiaries”), will provide a Subsidiary Guarantee or JV Subsidiary Guarantee at any time in the future. In addition, certain of the Company’s offshore subsidiaries will not be required to guarantee the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds if the consolidated assets of these subsidiaries (other than the Exempted Subsidiaries) that are not Subsidiary Guarantors or JV Subsidiary Guarantors do not exceed 20% of the Group’s total assets. As a result, the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds will be effectively subordinated to all the debt and other obligations, including contingent obligations and trade payables, of the PRC subsidiaries.

 

  (b) The initial Subsidiary Guarantors that will guarantee the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds do not have significant operations. There can be no assurance that the initial Subsidiary Guarantors or any subsidiaries that may become Subsidiary Guarantors or JV Subsidiary Guarantors in the future will have the funds necessary to satisfy the Company’s financial obligations under New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds if the Company is unable to do so.

 

  (c) Under the terms of the New HY Notes, if no less than 20% of the Capital Stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor is sold to a third party (whether through sale of existing shares or issuance of new shares), such Subsidiary Guarantor may either substitute its Subsidiary Guarantee for a JV Subsidiary Guarantee or release its Subsidiary Guarantee and not provide any guarantee for the New HY Notes, as long as the consolidated assets of all Restricted Subsidiaries organised outside the PRC (other than the Exempted Subsidiaries) that are not Subsidiary Guarantors or JV Subsidiary Guarantors (including the New Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries) do not account for more than 20% of the Group’s total assets.

 

159


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (d) In addition, in the case of a subsidiary or any entity established after the original issue date of the New HY Notes that is incorporated outside the PRC, a limited-recourse JV Subsidiary Guarantee may be provided following the sale or issuance to a third party of no less than 20% of equity interest in such subsidiary, or purchase from a third party of an equity interest in such entity such that it becomes the Company’s subsidiary (subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions). Recovery under a JV Subsidiary Guarantee is limited to an amount equal to the Company’s proportional interest in the issued share capital of such JV Subsidiary Guarantor multiplied by the fair market value of the total assets in such JV Subsidiary Guarantor and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of the date of the last fiscal year end of the Company.

The Subsidiary Guarantees or JV Subsidiary Guarantees may be challenged under applicable insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws, which could impair their enforceability

 

  (e) Under bankruptcy, fraudulent transfer, insolvency, unfair preference or similar laws in the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Hong Kong and other jurisdictions where future Subsidiary Guarantors or JV Subsidiary Guarantors may be established, a guarantee could be voided, or claims in respect of a guarantee could be subordinated to all other debts of that guarantor if, among other things, the guarantor, at the time it incurred the indebtedness evidenced by, or when it gives, its guarantee:

 

  (i) incurred the debt with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud creditors or was influenced by a desire to put the beneficiary of the guarantee in a position which, in the event of the guarantor’s insolvency, would be better than the position the beneficiary would have been in had the guarantee not been given;

 

  (ii) received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the incurrence of such guarantee;

 

  (iii) was insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the incurrence of such guarantee;

 

  (iv) was engaged in a business or transaction for which the guarantor’s remaining assets constituted unreasonably small capital; or

 

  (v) intended to incur, or believed that it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature.

 

  (f) In particular, an officeholder appointed to any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the JV Subsidiary Guarantors could seek to void any of the Subsidiary Guarantees or JV Subsidiary Guarantees if such Subsidiary Guarantees or JV Subsidiary Guarantees are deemed to have been issued as of the date of the New Indentures and/or the New Trust Deed, and that date falls within the applicable “risk period” prior to the onset of insolvency in relation to the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor or JV Subsidiary Guarantor (typically six months or more).

 

160


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (g) The measure of insolvency for the purposes of the foregoing will vary depending on the laws of the applicable jurisdiction. Generally, however, a guarantor would be considered insolvent at a particular time if it were unable to pay its debts as they fell due or if the sum of its debts was then greater than all of its properties at a fair valuation or if the present fair saleable value of its assets was then less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liabilities in respect of its existing debts as they became absolute and matured.

 

  (h) In addition, a guarantee may be subject to review under applicable insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws in certain jurisdictions or subject to a lawsuit by or on behalf of creditors of the guarantor. In such case, the analysis set forth above would generally apply, except that the guarantee could also be subject to the claim that, since the guarantee was not incurred for the benefit of the guarantor, the obligations of the guarantor thereunder were incurred for less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration.

 

  (i) In an attempt to limit the applicability of insolvency and fraudulent transfer laws in certain jurisdictions, the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors or JV Subsidiary Guarantors (if any) under the Subsidiary Guarantees or JV Subsidiary Guarantees (as the case may be) will be limited to the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor or JV Subsidiary Guarantor without rendering the guarantee, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor or JV Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under such applicable insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws.

 

  (j) If a court voids a Subsidiary Guarantee or JV Subsidiary Guarantee, subordinates such guarantee to other indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor or JV Subsidiary Guarantor (as the case may be), or holds the Subsidiary guarantee or JV Subsidiary guarantee unenforceable for any other reason, holders of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds would cease to have a Claim against that Subsidiary Guarantor or JV Subsidiary Guarantor based upon such guarantee, would be subject to the prior payment of all liabilities (including trade payables) of such Subsidiary Guarantor or JV Subsidiary Guarantor, and would solely be creditors of the Company and any Subsidiary Guarantors or JV Subsidiary Guarantors whose guarantees have not been voided or held unenforceable. There can be no assurance that, in such an event, after providing for all prior claims, there would be sufficient assets to satisfy the claims of the holders of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds.

Scope of Subsidiary Guarantors and JV Subsidiary Guarantors

 

  (k) The Subsidiary Guarantees and JV Subsidiary Guarantees to be given under the New Indentures and the New Trust Deed are intended to comprise guarantees equivalent to the Subsidiary Guarantees and JV Subsidiary Guarantees given under the Existing Indentures and the CB Trust Deed, taking into account any accessions and releases of Subsidiary Guarantors and JV Subsidiary Guarantors permitted in accordance with the terms of the Existing Indentures and the CB Trust Deed since the date they were entered into. The scope of the Subsidiary Guarantees and JV Subsidiary Guarantees to be given under the New Indentures and the New Trust Deed is therefore subject to the existence of complete and accurate documentation evidencing every accession and release of Subsidiary Guarantors and JV Subsidiary Guarantors entered into since the date of the Existing Indentures and the CB Trust Deed.

 

161


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The taking of certain New Collateral may in some circumstances be voidable

 

  (l) The taking of the New Collateral may be voidable as a preference under insolvency, fraudulent transfer or similar laws of the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands or Hong Kong at any time within six months of the grant of the security or, under some circumstances, within a longer period (the “Risk Period”). The granting of security over capital stock of future Subsidiary Guarantors may also be voidable as a preference under relevant insolvency or fraudulent transfer or similar laws. In addition, the granting of security over certain New Collateral may be voided based on the analysis set forth under “—The Subsidiary Guarantees or JV Subsidiary Guarantees may be challenged under applicable insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws, which could impair their enforceability” at paragraph 13.5(e) of this Part 6 of the Explanatory Statement above. If the granting of security over the New Collateral were to be voided for any reason, holders of the New HY Notes and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds would have only an unsecured claim against the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor Pledgors.

 

  (m) In particular, the New Security Documents in respect of the New Collateral will take effect on the Restructuring Effective Date and will therefore be most at risk of being voided, until such time as the applicable Risk Period has passed.

The taking of certain New Collateral may be released under certain circumstances

 

  (n) If the Group disposes of not less than 20% of the shares of a Subsidiary Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantees provided by such Subsidiary Guarantor and its subsidiaries, and the New Collateral comprising the shares of these companies, may be released if the consolidated assets of the Group’s non-PRC subsidiaries (other than the Exempted Subsidiaries) that do not guarantee the New HY Notes do not account for more than 20% of the Group’s total assets immediately following such release.

 

  (o) Moreover, in the event the conditions applicable to the replacement of a Subsidiary Guarantee with a JV Subsidiary Guarantee are satisfied, the Group is permitted to release the security over the shares granted by such Subsidiary Guarantor, as well as the security over the shares granted by the subsidiaries of such Subsidiary Guarantor. The Group is only required to deliver replacement security for the shares that the Group continues to hold in such JV Subsidiary Guarantor (but not the subsidiaries of such JV Subsidiary Guarantor) following the sale of the equity interests in such Subsidiary Guarantor. As a result, in the event the Group sells minority equity interests in the Group’s Subsidiary Guarantors or otherwise creates JV Subsidiary Guarantors in accordance with the terms of the New Indentures, the New Collateral will be reduced in value and scope, and holders of the New HY Note and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds would be subject to increased risks.

The New HY Notes Trustee and/or the New MEB Trustee may request the holders of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds to provide an indemnity and/or security to its satisfaction

 

  (p) In certain circumstances the New HY Notes Trustee and/or the New MEB Trustee may (at its sole discretion) request the holders of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds to provide an indemnity and/or security to its satisfaction before it takes actions on behalf of the holders of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds. The New HY Notes Trustee and/or the New MEB Trustee shall not be obliged to take any such actions if not indemnified to its satisfaction. Negotiating and agreeing to an indemnity and/or security can be a lengthy process and may impact on when such actions can be taken. The New HY Notes Trustee and/or the New MEB Trustee may not be able to take actions, notwithstanding the provision of an indemnity and/or security to it, in breach of the terms of the New Indentures and/or New Trust Deed and in circumstances where there is uncertainty or dispute as to the applicable laws or regulations and, to the extent permitted by the agreements and the applicable law, it will be for the holders of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds to take such actions directly.

 

162


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The value of the New Collateral is unlikely to be sufficient to satisfy all of the Company’s obligations under the New HY Notes, the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and other pari passu secured indebtedness

 

  (q) The ability of the New HY Notes Trustee and/or the New MEB Trustee, on behalf of the holders of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds, to foreclose on the New Collateral upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise will be subject to the terms of the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, as well as in certain instances to perfection and priority status. Although procedures will be undertaken to support the validity and enforceability of the security interests, there can be no assurance that the New HY Notes Trustee and/or the New MEB Trustee or holders of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds will be able to enforce the security interests.

 

  (r) The value of the New Collateral in the event of a liquidation will depend upon market and economic conditions, the availability of buyers and other factors. No independent appraisals of any of the New Collateral have been prepared by or on behalf of the Group in connection with the Schemes. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the proceeds of any sale of the New Collateral following an acceleration of the New HY Notes or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds will be sufficient to satisfy, or will not be substantially less than, amounts due and payable on the New HY Notes or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds. By its nature, the New Collateral, which consists solely of the capital stock of existing and future Subsidiary Guarantors, is likely to be illiquid and is unlikely to have a readily ascertainable market value. Likewise, there can be no assurance that the New Collateral will be saleable or, if saleable, that there will not be substantial delays in its liquidation. Furthermore, the New Collateral may be reduced or diluted under certain circumstances, including the issuance of additional debt or other pari passu indebtedness and the disposition of assets comprising the New Collateral, subject to the terms of the New Indentures and/or New Trust Deed.

 

  (s) The New Collateral will be shared on a pari passu basis by (i) holders of the New HY Notes;(ii) holders of the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds; (iii) holders of the Exchange Convertible Bonds; and (iv) holders of “Permitted Pari Passu Secured Indebtedness” (as such term is defined in the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement). Accordingly, in the event of a default on the New HY Notes or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds or the other secured indebtedness and a foreclosure on the New Collateral, any foreclosure proceeds would be shared by such secured parties in proportion to the outstanding amounts of each class of such secured indebtedness. The value of the New Collateral is unlikely to be sufficient to satisfy all such obligations, and any foreclosure proceeds available to the holders of the New HY Notes and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds are unlikely to satisfy the obligations of the Company and each of the Guarantors and/or JV Subsidiary Guarantor under the New Indentures and/or the New Trust Deed.

 

  (t) The security interest of the Common Security Trustee will be subject to practical problems generally associated with the realisation of security interests in collateral. For example, the Common Security Trustee may need to obtain the consent of a third party to enforce a security interest. The Company cannot assure Scheme Creditors that the Common Security Trustee will be able to obtain any such consent. The Company also cannot assure Scheme Creditors that the consents of any third parties will be given when required to facilitate a foreclosure on such assets. Accordingly, the Common Security Trustee may not have the ability to foreclose upon those assets and the value of the collateral may significantly decrease.

 

163


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (u) In addition, the Group’s business requires certain national and local permits and licences. The business is subject to regulations and permit requirements and may be adversely affected if the Group is unable to comply with existing regulations or requirements, or changes in applicable regulations or requirements. In the event of foreclosure, the transfer of such permits and licences may be prohibited or may require the Group to incur significant cost and expense. Furthermore, the Group cannot assure Scheme Creditors that the applicable governmental authorities will consent to the transfer of all such permits. If the regulatory approvals required for such transfers are not obtained or are delayed, foreclosure may be delayed, a temporary shutdown of operations may result and the value of the collateral may be significantly decreased.

The terms of the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement may affect the ability of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors to pay amounts due under the New HY Notes and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement may limit the rights of holders of the New HY Notes and the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds to the New Collateral

 

  (v) The Common Security Trustee is required to take action to enforce the New Collateral in accordance with the instructions of the holders of the New HY Notes, the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or the holders of other pari passu indebtedness given under and in accordance with the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement. Any enforcement action taken by the Common Security Trustee will adversely affect the Company’s entitlement to receive distributions from the New Collateral, which will, in turn, have an adverse impact on the Company’s ability to fulfil its payment obligations under the New Indentures and/or the New Trust Deed. Further, the Subsidiary Guarantors’ ability to pay under the Subsidiary Guarantees will be adversely affected. The ability of holders of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds to enforce the New Collateral is restricted under the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, as only the Common Security Trustee is permitted to take enforcement actions. If an event of default occurs under the New Indentures or the New Trust Deed, the holders holding 25% of the outstanding amount of the relevant series of New HY Notes or Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds (respectively) may direct the New HY Notes Trustee or the New MEB Trustee, as the case may be, to instruct, and the holders, creditors or representatives of the other secured parties may decide whether to take any enforcement action and may thereafter, through their respective trustee or agent, in accordance with the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement, instruct the Common Security Trustee to take enforcement action against the New Collateral. By virtue of the instructions given to the Common Security Trustee described above, actions may be taken in respect of the New Collateral that may be adverse to holders of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds. In such event, the only remedy available to holders of the New HY notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds would be to sue for payment under the New HY Notes, the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and/or the related Subsidiary Guarantees and/or JV Subsidiary Guarantees.

 

164


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (w) The Common Security Trustee, acting in its capacity as such, shall have such duties with respect to the New Collateral pledged, secured, assigned or granted pursuant to the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement and the Security Documents as are set forth in the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement. Under certain circumstances, the Common Security Trustee may have obligations under the Security Documents or the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement that are in conflict with the holders of the New HY Notes and/or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds. The Common Security Trustee will not be under any obligation to exercise any rights or powers conferred under the Amended and Restated Intercreditor Agreement or any of the Security Documents for the benefit of the holders of the New HY Notes or the Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and the other secured parties, unless such parties have offered to the Common Security Trustee an indemnity and/or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

Scope of the New Collateral

 

  (x) The New Collateral to be granted under the New Security Documents are intended to comprise collateral equivalent to the Existing Collateral granted under the Existing Security Documents, taking into account any grants and releases of Existing Collateral permitted in accordance with the terms of the Existing Indentures and the CB Trust Deed since the date they were entered into. The scope of the New Collateral to be granted under the New Security Documents is therefore subject to the existence of complete and accurate documentation evidencing every grant and release of Existing Collateral entered into since the date of the Existing Indentures and the CB Trust Deed.

 

13.6 Risks related to the Group’s business

The Group maintains a significant amount of indebtedness, which may materially and adversely affect its financial condition, liquidity and its ability to service its indebtedness

 

  (a) The Group maintains a significant amount of indebtedness to finance its operations. As of 31 December 2014, the Group’s total borrowings sated in the Unaudited Management Accounts were approximately RMB65,119 million (US$10,023 million). As at 30 September 2015, the Group’s total borrowings were RMB66,067 million (US$10,168 million). Of the Group’s total outstanding borrowings of RMB66,067 million (US$10,169 million) as at 30 September 2015, RMB57,232 million (US$8,809 million) was repayable within 12 months and RMB 8,835 million (US$1,360 million) was repayable in more than one year.

 

  (b) The Group’s cashflow and results of operations of its operating subsidiaries will affect its liquidity and its ability to service the Group’s indebtedness. There can be no assurance that the Group will be able to continue to generate and maintain sufficient cashflow to service its indebtedness. If the Group is unable to make scheduled payments in connection with its debts and other fixed payment obligations as they become due, the Group may need to refinance such obligations or obtain additional financing. Furthermore, the Scheme Consideration and some of the Group’s onshore bank loans contain cross default provisions under which default in one such loan could trigger a default on the Scheme Consideration or one or more of the other onshore bank loans as well. There can be no assurance that the Group’s refinancing efforts would be successful or timely or that the Group could secure additional financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Group fails to maintain sufficient cashflow to service its indebtedness or its refinancing efforts are unsuccessful, the Group’s liquidity, business, and financial condition will be materially and adversely affected.

 

165


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (c) In addition to bank borrowings, the Group relies on proceeds from the pre-sale of residential properties as a major source of funding for the Group’s property development activities. If the Group’s pre-sales are limited or reduced for any reason, including policy or regulatory changes, a reduction in demand for or in the prices of the Group’s properties, or an increase in the time required to complete sales, the Group could experience cashflow shortfalls and difficulties in funding the Group’s property development activities and servicing the Group’s indebtedness. The pre-sale of the Group’s property projects in Shenzhen has been interrupted by Blockages since December 2014, which augured the series of events that significantly disrupted its operations. The Company’s credit ratings have recently been lowered and there can be no assurance that the ratings will not be further lowered

 

  (d) The Company’s credit ratings have been adversely affected by its financial performance and the credit ratings agencies have progressively reduced the Group’s credit ratings before withdrawing them entirely. In January 2015, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services lowered its corporate rating on the Company to SD from BB- with a negative outlook, and Moody’s lowered its corporate credit rating on the Company to Ca from B3 with a negative outlook. The rating agencies cited as the basis for their downgrades a significant weakening in the Group’s financial and business risk profile, default on the interest payment of US$23 million which was due 8 January 2015 in relation to the Group’s 2020 Notes and default on the 2013 HSBC Facility and disposal of certain of its assets. High capital spending and working capital requirements for its property development business also contributed to the weakening of the Group’s liquidity profile and accelerated downward pressure on its credit ratings. In March 2015, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services further downgraded its corporate rating on the Company to D from SD after the Company missed further coupon payments of US$52 million in relation to the Group’s 2017 and 2018 Notes. In June 2015, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services discontinued its corporate rating on the Company and Moody’s withdrew its corporate rating in August 2015. The rating agencies cited insufficient availability of information in assessing the Company’s credit quality as the basis for withdrawing their ratings.

The Group’s business prospects may be difficult to evaluate because certain financial information is unavailable or may be unreliable

 

  (e) The Group’s business prospects may be difficult to evaluate accurately in part because its audited financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2014 are unavailable and its December 2014 Accounts, September 2015 Accounts and/or prior financial results may be unreliable. For the purpose of this Explanatory Statement and the Schemes, the Company’s management has prepared the December 2014 Accounts and the September 2015 Management Accounts. The December 2014 Accounts and September 2015 Management Accounts have been produced to the best ability of the Board, and the Board believes them to accurately reflect the financial position of the Company as of the date thereof; however, the December 2014 Accounts and September 2015 Management Accounts have not been independently audited or reviewed by the Auditor. Furthermore, the Company cannot be sure if or when the Auditor or any other accounting firm that the Company may engage will commence or complete the audit. If the December 2014 Accounts and September 2015 Management Accounts were to be determined by a subsequent audit to be materially inaccurate and/or if the Company is unable to complete an audit of its financial statements for the year ended and as of 31 December 2014 and the nine months ended and as of 30 September 2015 in a timely manner, it may be difficult to reliably assess the Company’s financial position and business prospects and our business, financial conditions and reputation may be materially harmed.

Matters relating to or arising from FTI’s examination of certain accounting matters may adversely affect our business and results of operations

 

  (f) To address the issues raised by the Auditor in February 2015 and as set out in the 29 April 2015 Announcement and the 23 July 2015 Announcement, respectively, the Independent Committee engaged FTI to conduct a forensic examination of the Company’s financial information. As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the work of FTI is ongoing. If the FTI examination concludes that the Company engaged in any improper accounting practices, the Company may be exposed to greater risks associated with litigation, regulatory proceedings and government enforcement actions. The Company may also be required to restate its prior financial statements, amend prior filings with the SEHK, or take other actions not currently contemplated. In addition, there is a risk that securities class actions or other lawsuits could be filed against the Company, its directors or its officers. Any future such restatements, investigations or lawsuits may adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows or materially harm or business and reputation.

The Company may not be able to replace key management members who depart

 

  (g) The Company’s past success and growth depended on Chairman Kwok, one of its founders and the current chairman, and the continued services of its executive Directors and other members of its senior management team. The Company benefits from Chairman Kwok’s extensive business network and experience. There can be no assurance that Chairman Kwok or any other executive Director or member of senior management will be willing or able to continue in his or her present position or that the Group will be able to identify and hire suitable replacements for those who depart. Moreover, the Group risks losing skilled and qualified employees at all levels, in its headquarters in Shenzhen and elsewhere. For example, following the implementation of the Blockages and other restrictions, over 170 employees and several key management members resigned from the Group, including the Group’s chief financial officer and almost the entire accounting and finance team. If the Group cannot attract and retain suitable personnel, its business and future growth may be materially and adversely affected.

The Group is heavily dependent on the performance of the PRC real estate market, particularly in the Pearl River Delta region

 

  (h) The Group’s business and prospects depend on the performance of the real estate market in the PRC and, in particular, in the Pearl River Delta region. Any real estate market downturn in the PRC generally or, in particular, in the Pearl River Delta region and other cities and regions where the Group operates, could adversely affect the Group’s business, results of operations and financial condition. As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, among the Group’s 87 property development projects, 34 were located in the Pearl River Delta region, 10 were located in the Western China region, 6 were located in the Central China region, 22 were located in the Yangtze River Delta region, and 15 were located in the Pan-Bohai Bay Rim. The Group also intends to expand into other regions and cities in the PRC. There can be no assurance that the demand for new properties in the Pearl River Delta region and other regions and cities in the PRC where the Group operates or intend to expand will continue to grow or that prices will not deteriorate. In addition, fluctuations of supply and demand in the real estate market in the PRC are caused by economic, social, political, regulatory and other factors that are outside of the Group’s control and there can be no assurance that there will not be an over-supply of properties or an economic downturn in the property sector in the Pearl River Delta region and other cities and regions of the PRC. Any such over-supply or economic downturn may result in a slowdown in property sales or downward pressure on property prices regionally or nationwide. Any adverse development in the real estate market in the Pearl River Delta region or other regions and cities in the PRC where the Group operates or may operate in the future could have a material and adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The Group’s business is subject to extensive governmental regulation and, in particular, the Group is susceptible to policy changes in the PRC property sector

 

  (i) The Group’s business is subject to extensive governmental regulation and the macroeconomic control measures implemented by the PRC government from time to time. As with other PRC property developers, the Group must comply with various requirements mandated by the PRC laws and regulations, including the policies and procedures established by local authorities designated to implement such laws and regulations. In particular, the PRC government exerts considerable direct and indirect influence on the development of the PRC property sector by imposing industry policies and other economic measures, such as control over the supply of land for property development, control of foreign exchange, property financing, taxation and foreign investment. Through these policies and measures, the PRC government may restrict or reduce land available for property development, raise benchmark interest rates of commercial banks, place additional limitations on the ability of commercial banks to make loans to property developers and property purchasers, impose additional taxes and levies on property sales and restrict foreign investment in the PRC property sector. In November 2010, MOFCOM promulgated the Notice on Strengthening Administration of the Approval and Registration of Foreign Investment into Real Estate Industry, which provides that, among other things, in the case that a real estate enterprise is established in the PRC with overseas capital, it is prohibited to purchase and/or sell real estate properties completed or under construction for arbitrage purposes. The local MOFCOM authorities are not permitted to approve investment companies to engage in real estate development and management. Restrictions imposed by the PRC government on foreign investment in the property sector may affect the Group’s ability to make further investments in its PRC subsidiaries and, as a result, may limit the Group’s business growth and have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations. On 12 July 2011, the State Council announced the PRC government’s intention to impose austerity measures on certain second- and third-tier cities which had experienced excessive increase in property prices. The State Council ordered the Ministry of Construction to compile a list of second- and third-tier cities that will be affected by the austerity measures. If austerity measures on second- and third-tier cities are implemented, particularly in second- and third-tier cities where the Group has property projects or plans to have property projects, the Group’s business, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected. The PRC government has also in recent years announced a series of other measures designed to stabilise the growth of the PRC economy and to stabilise the growth of specific sectors, including the property market, to a more sustainable level. Many of the property industry policies carried out by the PRC government are unprecedented and are expected to be amended and revised over time. Other political, economic and social factors may also lead to further adjustments and changes of such policies. There can be no assurance that the PRC government will not adopt additional and more stringent industry policies, regulations and measures in the future, nor can the Group assure when or whether the existing policies will be eased or reversed. If the Group fails to adapt its operations to new policies, regulations and measures that may come into effect from time to time with respect to the real property industry, or such policy changes disrupt the Group’s business, reduce its sales or average selling prices, or cause the Group to incur additional costs, its business prospects, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The Group may not be able to complete its projects according to schedule or on budget

 

  (j) A property development project requires substantial capital expenditures prior to and during the construction period, and it may take over a year before a development generates positive cashflow through pre-sales or sales. The progress of, and costs for, a development project can be adversely affected by many factors, including:

 

  (i) changes in market conditions, an economic downturn or a decline in consumer confidence;

 

  (ii) delays in obtaining necessary licenses, permits or approvals from government agencies or authorities;

 

  (iii) relocation of existing residents and demolition of existing structures;

 

  (iv) increases in the market prices of raw materials if the Group cannot pass on the increased costs to customers;

 

  (v) shortages of materials, equipment, contractors and skilled labour;

 

  (vi) latent soil or subsurface conditions and latent environmental damage requiring remediation;

 

  (vii) unforeseen engineering, design, environmental or geographic problems;

 

  (viii) labour disputes;

 

  (ix) construction accidents;

 

  (x) natural disasters;

 

  (xi) adverse weather conditions;

 

  (xii) changes in government practices and policies, including reclamation of land for public works or facilities; and

 

  (xiii) other unforeseen problems or circumstances.

 

  (k) The Group’s property projects are at risk from earthquakes, floods and other natural disasters in the regions where the Group operates. Damage to any of the Group’s properties or impact on the markets, whether by natural disasters or otherwise, may either delay or preclude its ability to develop and sell its properties or adversely affect its budget for the projects The Group may also experience additional or significant delays in completion or delivery of the Group’s projects and the Group may be subject to liability for any such delays. Construction delays or failure to complete construction of a project according to its planned specifications, schedule or budget may materially and adversely affect the Group’s reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

169


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (l) Since December 2014, the Group has experienced irregularities in its business operations in Shenzhen, particularly in the treatment by the PRC government authorities of its projects. The Group has been subject to unexplained Blockages and Restrictions affecting property sales, as well as other regulatory hurdles that may disrupt its development activities. See Part 2 (Background to the Schemes) of this Explanatory Statement. There can be no assurance as to whether new irregularities will emerge in Shenzhen or elsewhere.

The Group may not always be able to obtain land reserves that are suitable for development

 

  (m) The Group derives its revenue principally from the sale of properties that the Group has developed. Therefore, the Group must maintain or increase its land reserves in strategic locations at an appropriate pace in order to ensure sustainable business growth. Based on the Group’s current rate of property development, the Group believes it has sufficient land reserves for approximately the next three to five years of development. The Group’s ability to identify and acquire suitable development sites is subject to a number of factors, some of which are beyond its control. The supply of substantially all of the land in the PRC is controlled by the PRC government. The land supply policies adopted by the PRC government directly impact the Group’s ability to acquire land use rights for development and its costs of such acquisitions. In recent years, the PRC central and local governments have implemented various measures to regulate the means by which property developers may obtain land. The PRC government also controls land supply through zoning, land usage regulations and other means. All these measures further intensify the competition for land in the PRC among property developers. In 2002, the PRC government introduced a nationwide system of mandatory public tender, auction or listing-for-sale for the grant of land use rights for commercial use, tourism, entertainment and commodity property development. On 28 September 2007, the Ministry of Land and Resources of the PRC (the “Ministry of Land and Resources”) issued revised Rules on the Grant of State-owned Land Use Rights through Public Tender, Auction and Listing-for-sale, which further stipulate legal and procedural requirements on public tender, auction or listing-for-sale, the only means by which state-owned land use rights can be granted by the PRC government for industrial purposes, commercial purposes, tourism, entertainment and commodity property development, and require that the land premium must be paid in full to the local land administration bureau pursuant to the underlying land grant contract before the land use rights certificate can be issued to the land user. The PRC government’s policy to grant state-owned land use rights at competitive market prices has substantially increased and is likely to continue to increase the acquisition cost of land reserves generally in the PRC.

 

  (n) On 21 September 2010, the Ministry of Land and Resources and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Renewal Development (“MOHURD”) jointly issued the Notice on Further Strengthening the Administration and Control of Real Estate Land and Construction, which stipulates, among other things, that the planning and construction conditions and land use standards should be specified when a parcel of land is to be granted, and the restrictions on the area of any parcel of land granted for commodity properties should be strictly implemented. The development and construction of large low-density residential properties should be strictly restricted, and the plot ratio for residential land is required to be more than 1:1. In addition, a property developer and its shareholders will be prohibited from participating in any bidding to acquire additional land until any illegal behaviour in which it has engaged, such as leaving its land idle for more than one year due to its own faults, has been completely rectified.

 

170


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (o) On 15 February 2012, the Ministry of Land and Resources promulgated the Notice on the Key Tasks for Accomplishing Effective Real Estate Land Administration and Control in 2012 which stipulates the following:

 

  (i) real estate control policy shall be strictly implemented and key tasks clarified;

 

  (ii) real estate land supply shall be properly managed to promote social welfare;

 

  (iii) land supply for social security housing projects shall be guaranteed;

 

  (iv) unlawful acts relating to land use shall be strictly punished;

 

  (v) development and construction shall be vigorously encouraged; and

 

  (vi) supervisory analysis and media coverage shall be strengthened to provide positive guidance towards the market.

 

  (p) On 1 June 2012, the Ministry of Land and Resources promulgated the revised Measures on the Disposal of Idle Land, which became effective on 1 July 2012. Under these measures, if any land parcel constitutes “idle land” due to government-related action, the holder of the relevant land use rights is required to explain to the relevant municipality or county-level land administrative department(s) the reasons for the land becoming idle, consult the relevant government authorities and rectify the situation accordingly. The means of rectification include but are not limited to the extension of the period permitted for commencing development, the adjustment of the land use and planning conditions or the substitution of the relevant idle land parcels with other land parcels.

 

  (q) On 5 November 2012, the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Finance, PBOC and CBRC jointly promulgated the Notice on Strengthening Land Reserves and Financing Administration (Guotuzi Fa [2012] No. 162) in order to strengthen land bank institutions administration, determine the reasonable scale and structure of land bank, strengthen the administration of land pre-development, reservation and protection, and regulate the financing to land reservation and the use of land reservation funds.

 

  (r) The implementation of these regulations may increase land transfer prices and require property developers to maintain a higher level of working capital.

 

  (s) If the Group fails to acquire sufficient land reserves in a timely manner and on acceptable terms, or at all, its business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

 

171


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The Group may not always be able to obtain land use rights certificates with respect to certain parcels of land in connection with which the Group has entered into various contractual arrangements

 

  (t) The Group may not always be able to obtain land use rights certificates with respect to certain parcels of land. The Group has entered into various contractual arrangements with a view to facilitating potential land acquisitions of land use rights for certain parcels of land in several cities in The PRC. As at 30 September 2015, the prepayments paid in respect of the aforementioned parcels of land totalled approximately RMB10,175.4 million (US$1,566 million). None of these contractual arrangements are land grant contracts with the PRC government or confirmations, by the PRC government of the sale of state-owned land use rights. As of 30 September 2015, the Group had not obtained the land use rights certificates with respect to these parcels of land. In addition, the Group is in the process of applying for land use rights certificates from the government authorities in respect of certain other parcels of land. There can be no assurance that the relevant PRC government authorities will grant the Group the appropriate land use rights or issue the relevant land use rights certificates in respect of these parcels of land or in respect of other land the Group may contract to acquire in the future, in a timely manner, or at all. Nor can the Group assure that its contractual arrangements will eventually result in its acquisition of any land use rights. As these contractual arrangements are subject to various government approvals that involve relatively complex procedures, it is not uncommon to take years to complete the acquisition of the underlying land, if at all. If the Group fails to obtain, or experiences material delay in obtaining, the land use rights certificates with respect to any parcels of land the Group has contracted or may contract to acquire in the future, in a timely manner, or at all, its business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

 

  (u) Furthermore, there can be no assurance that if the transactions or acquisition of land use rights cannot be completed, any refund of the Group’s prepayments will be provided in a timely manner or at all. If the Group fails to obtain refunds, its financial condition, cashflow and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

The Group may not have adequate financing to fund its land acquisitions and property projects

 

  (v) Property development is capital intensive. The Group finances its property projects primarily through a combination of internal funds, construction loans, proceeds from pre-sales and other methods of financing. As at 31 December 2014 and 30 September 2015, the Group’s total borrowings amounted to approximately RMB65,119 million (US$10,023 million) and RMB66,067 million (US$10,169 million) respectively. The Group’s ability to procure adequate and suitable financing for acquisitions of land and/or companies and for property developments depends on a number of factors that are beyond its control, including general economic conditions, its financial strength and performance, credit availability from financial institutions, cost of borrowing and monetary policies in the PRC.

 

  (w) Various PRC regulations restrict the Group’s ability to raise capital through external financing and other methods, including without limitation, the following:

 

  (i) the Group cannot pre-sell uncompleted units in a project prior to achieving certain development milestones;

 

  (ii) PRC banks are prohibited from extending loans to real estate companies for the purposes of funding the purchase of land use rights;

 

  (iii) the Group cannot borrow from a PRC bank for a particular project unless the Group obtains the land use rights certificate, construction land planning permit, construction works planning permit and construction works commencement permit for that project;

 

  (iv) PRC banks are restricted from granting loans for the development of luxury residential properties;

 

172


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (v) property developers are strictly prohibited from using the proceeds from a loan obtained from a local bank to fund property developments outside the region where that bank is located; and

 

  (vi) PRC banks are prohibited from accepting properties that have been vacant for more than three years as collateral for loans.

 

  (x) Specific measures implemented by the PRC government in recent years include the following examples:

 

  (i) the PBOC has prohibited commercial banks from granting loans to property developers to pay land premiums since June 2003;

 

  (ii) MOHURD and other PRC government authorities jointly issued the Opinions on Adjusting the Housing Supply Structure and Stabilizing the Housing Prices (關於調整住房供應結構穩定住房價格的意見) in May 2006, which, among other things,

 

  (A) restrict the grant or extension of revolving credit facilities to property developers that hold a large amount of idle land and vacant commodity properties; and

 

  (B) prohibit commercial banks from taking commodity properties that have been vacant for more than three years as security for their loans;

 

  (iii) PBOC and CBRC jointly issued the Circular on Strengthening the Administration of Commercial Real Estate Credit Loans in September 2007, which, among other things,

 

  (A) prohibits commercial banks from granting loans to property projects if the developer’s own capital is less than 35% of the total investment amount;

 

  (B) prohibits commercial banks from granting loans to property projects that have not obtained land use rights certificates, construction land planning permits, construction works planning permits and construction works commencement permits;

 

  (C) prohibits commercial banks from granting loans to real estate developers who have been found by relevant government authorities to be hoarding land and properties;

 

  (D) prohibits commercial banks from accepting commercial premises that have been vacant for more than three years as collateral for loans;

 

  (E) requires that commercial bank loans to property developers be classified as real estate development loans and not as general working capital loans; and

 

173


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (F) requires that in principle real estate development loan proceeds may only be used for developments in the local city where the loan is originated;

 

  (iv) in November 2009, the PRC government raised the minimum down-payment requirement for land purchases to 50% of the land premium and now requires the land premium to be fully paid within one year after the signing of a land grant contract, subject to limited exceptions; and

 

  (v) in March 2010, the Ministry of Land and Resources stipulated that the minimum down payment of land premium of 50% should be paid within one month after the signing of a land grant contract and the rest of the land premium should be fully paid within one year after the signing of a land grant contract.

 

  (y) On 3 January 2008, the State Council issued a Notice on Promoting the Economic and Intensive Use of Land with respect to the collection of additional land premium, establishment of a land utilization priority planning scheme and the formulation of a system for assessing the optimal use of land and other measures. The notice calls for the full and effective use of existing construction land and the preservation of farm land. The notice also emphasizes the enforcement of the current rules on assessing idle land fees at a rate equal to 20% of the land premium for any land left idle for over one year but less than two years. The notice also urges financial institutions to exercise caution when they review loan applications from property developers that have failed to complete development of at least one-third of the land area or to invest at least 25% of the total investment within one year of the construction date provided in the land grant contract. The notice states that a value-added land premium will be levied on the idle land, especially on that used for property development, and the relevant rules will be formulated jointly by the Ministry of Land and Resources and other authorities. The notice indicates that the relevant governmental authorities will formulate and issue additional rules and regulations on these matters.

 

  (z) In addition, PBOC adjusted the reserve requirement ratio for commercial banks seven times in 2011 and twice in 2012. The reserve requirement ratio for commercial banks currently ranges from 16.5% to 20% with effect from 18 May 2012. Such increases may negatively impact the amount of funds available to lend to businesses, including the Group by commercial banks in the PRC. The PRC government could also introduce other initiatives that may further limit the Group’s access to capital, and/or consequently reduce its flexibility and ability to use bank loans or other forms of financing to finance its acquisitions and property developments. For example, in April 2010 the State Council issued the Notice on Resolutely Curbing the Excessive Hike of Property Prices in Some Cities, which mandates that developers who hold idle land or speculate in land will not be granted bank loans for the development of new property projects. In September 2010, PBOC and CBRC jointly issued a notice to prohibit banks from lending to any property developer for its new projects or renewal of its existing loans if such developer has a track record of maintaining idle land, changing the use and nature of land without proper approval, delaying the construction, commencement or completion date, hoarding properties or other non-compliance. These government actions and policy initiatives limit the Group’s ability to use bank loans to finance its acquisitions and property development projects. The PRC government, moreover, could introduce other initiatives which may further limit the Group’s access to capital, and consequently limit its ability to obtain bank loans, the net proceeds from this offering or other forms of financing. If the Group fails to secure adequate financing or renew its existing credit facilities prior to their expiration, or if the PRC government adopts further restrictive credit policies in the future, the Group’s business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

 

174


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The Group’s LAT provisions and prepayments may not be sufficient to meet its LAT obligations

 

  (aa) In accordance with the provisions of the Provisional Regulations of the PRC on Land Appreciation Tax (“LAT”) and the related implementation rules, all entities and individuals that receive income from the sale or transfer of land use rights, buildings and ancillary facilities are subject to LAT at progressive rates ranging from 30% to 60% of the appreciated value of such properties. There is an exemption for the sale of ordinary residential properties if the appreciated value does not exceed 20% of the total deductible expense items allowed under the relevant LAT regulations. This exemption is not available for sales of luxury residential properties, villas and commercial properties. It is not clear whether the residential portion of the Group’s mixed residential and commercial developments will be eligible for the exemption available to ordinary residential properties. The State Taxation Bureau clarified LAT settlement to some extent in its Notice on the Administration of the Settlement of Land Appreciation Tax of Property Development Enterprises effective 1 February 2007. The Notice clarifies that provincial and local tax bureaus may formulate their own implementing rules and determine how LAT will be settled in their jurisdictions.

 

  (bb) The Group has been prepaying LAT in respect of its pre-sale proceeds since a prepayment obligation was imposed in 2004. In addition, the Group makes provision for the estimated amount of LAT that may be payable in respect of its other sales. The Group made LAT provisions of approximately RMB305 million (US$47 million) for the year ended 31 December 2014. For the nine months ending 30 September 2015, the Group made LAT provisions of approximately RMB226.3 million (US$35 million). LAT provisions are recorded as a part of “income taxes payable” on the Group’s balance sheets. There can be no assurance that the relevant tax authorities will agree with its calculation of LAT liabilities nor can the Group assure that the LAT provisions will be sufficient to cover its LAT obligations in respect of its past LAT liabilities. If the relevant tax authorities determine that the Group’s LAT liabilities exceed its LAT prepayments and provisions, and seek to collect that excess amount, the Group’s cashflow, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

The Group may be adversely affected by fluctuations in the global economy and financial markets

 

  (cc) The global economic slowdown and turmoil in the global financial markets that started in the second half of 2008 had a negative impact on the world economy, which in turn affected the PRC real estate industry and many other industries. In 2010, a financial crisis emerged in Europe, triggered by high budget deficits and rising direct and contingent sovereign debt in Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain, which created concerns about the ability of these European nations to continue to service their sovereign debt obligations. On 6 August 2011, Standard and Poor’s Ratings Services downgraded the rating for long-term United States debt to “AA+” from “AAA” for the first time in 70 years.

 

  (dd) Any global economic slowdown and financial market turmoil may adversely affect homeowners and potential property purchasers, which may lead to a decline in the general demand for the Group’s products and erosion of their sale prices. In addition, any tightening of liquidity in the global financial markets may negatively affect its liquidity and the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations may be negatively affected.

 

175


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The fair value of the Group’s investment properties is likely to fluctuate from time to time and may decrease significantly in the future, which may materially and adversely impact its profitability

 

  (ee) The Group is required to reassess the fair value of its investment properties. However, the Group has not prepared a fair value assessment of its investment properties for the Unaudited Management Accounts. In accordance with HKFRS, gains or losses (as applicable) arising from changes in the fair value of the Group’s investment properties should be accounted for in its income statements in the period in which they arise. The Group’s investment properties were revalued by an independent property valuer as of 2014 on an open market for existing use basis which reflected market conditions at those dates. The valuation prepared by DTZ is at Appendix 20 (DTZ Valuation Report). Based on such valuation, the Group recognized the aggregate fair market value of its investment properties on its consolidated balance sheets, and recognized changes in fair values of investment properties and the relevant deferred tax on the Group’s consolidated statements of comprehensive incomes. In 2014, the fair value gains on the Group’s investment properties was RMB534.5 million (US$82.3 million) which as shown in the Unaudited Management Accounts. There is a risk that the fair value gains of the Group’s investment properties have declined during 2014 and for the nine months ending 30 September 2015, which the Company is presently not in a position to assess.

 

  (ff) Fair value gains or losses do not, however, change the Group’s cash position as long as the relevant investment properties are held by the Group, and accordingly do not increase the Group’s liquidity in spite of the increased profit represented by any fair value gains. The amount of revaluation adjustments has been, and will continue to be, subject to market fluctuations. Macroeconomic factors, including economic growth rate, interest rate, inflation rate, urbanization rate and disposable income level, in addition to any government regulations, can substantially affect the fair value of the Group’s investment properties and affect the supply and demand in the PRC property market. All these factors are beyond the Group’s control and there can be no assurance that changes in market conditions will continue to create fair value gains on its investment properties at the historical levels, or at all, or that the fair value of its investment properties will not decrease in the future. If the fair value of the Group’s investment properties declines, the Group’s profitability would be materially and adversely affected.

The Group guarantees mortgage loans of its customers and may be liable to the mortgagee banks if its customers default on their mortgage payments

 

  (gg) The Group pre-sells properties before construction is completed. The purchasers of the Group’s properties may need mortgage loans to purchase its properties, and the Group typically arranges for various banks to provide these mortgage loans. In accordance with market practice, the mortgagee banks require the Group to guarantee its customers’ mortgage loans. Typically, the Group’s guarantee obligations for such customers’ mortgage loans are released upon the earlier of (i) the satisfaction of the mortgage loan by the purchaser of the property; and (ii) the issuance of the property ownership certificate for the mortgaged property and the completion of the registration of the mortgage. It generally takes six months to one year after the Group delivers possession of the relevant property to the purchaser for its guarantee to be released. If a purchaser defaults on a mortgage loan guaranteed by the Group, the Group may have to repay the mortgage loan. If the Group fails to do so, the mortgagee bank may foreclose the underlying property and recover any balance from the Group as the guarantor of the defaulted mortgage loan. In line with industry practice, the Group relies on the credit analysis performed by the mortgagee banks in respect of individual customers and the Group does not conduct any independent credit checks on them.

 

176


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (hh) As of 31 December 2014 and 30 September 2015, the Group’s outstanding financial guarantees for the mortgage loans of its customers amounted to RMB15,337 million (US$2,361 million), and approximately RMB15,179 million (US$2,336 million) respectively. If a purchaser defaults under the mortgage loan and the mortgagee bank calls on the Group’s relevant guarantee after it deals with the relevant property through a default auction, the Group is required to repay the outstanding amount owed by the purchaser to the mortgagee bank under the mortgage loan. If the Group is required to honour its guarantees, its results of operations and financial position may be materially and adversely affected.

The Group’s profitability and results of operations are affected by changes in interest rates

 

  (ii) Changes in interest rates have affected and will continue to affect the Group’s financing costs and, ultimately, its results of operations. In April 2006, PBOC raised the benchmark one-year lending rate from 5.58% to 5.85% and in August 2006 further increased such rate to 6.12%. PBOC again increased the one-year lending rate six times in 2007 from 6.12% to 7.47% in December 2007. Beginning in 2008, PBOC decreased the benchmark one-year lending rate five times, from 7.47% to 5.31% in December 2008, which remained unchanged until September 2010. The one-year lending rate increased to 5.81% effective from 31 December 2010, increased to 6.06% effective from 9 February 2011, increased to 6.31% effective from 6 April 2011 and increased to 6.56% effective from 7 July 2011, although the PBOC subsequently lowered the one-year benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points in June 2012 and by 31 basis points in July 2012. The PBOC further lowered the benchmark one-year lending rate during the period November 2014 to October 2015, namely to 5.6% on 21 November 2014, to 5.35% on 1 March 2015, to 5.1% on 10 May 2015, to 4.85% on 27 June 2015 to 4.6% on 25 August 2015, and to 4.35% on 23 October 2015. As commercial banks in the PRC link the interest rates on their loans to benchmark lending rates published by PBOC, any increase in such benchmark lending rates will increase the interest costs for the Group’s property developments.

 

  (jj) A substantial portion of the interest expense has been capitalized as properties under development, which will then be recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as cost of sales upon the sale of properties. Capitalized interest represented approximately 6.1% and 7.5% of the Group’s cost of sales in 2014 and the nine months ended 30 September 2015, respectively. As a result, such capitalized interest expense may adversely affect the Group’s gross profit margin upon the sales of properties in future. In addition, increases in interest rates may affect the Group’s customers’ ability to secure mortgages on acceptable terms, which in turn may affect their ability to purchase its properties.

Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The PRC government may impose fines on the Group or take back the Group’s land if the Group fails to develop a property according to the terms of the land grant contract

 

  (kk) Under PRC laws and regulations, if the Group fails to develop a property according to the terms of the land grant contract, including those relating to the payment of land premium, demolition and resettlement costs and other fees, the specified use of the land and the time for commencement and completion of the development, the PRC government may issue a warning, impose a penalty, and/or take back the Group’s land. Under current PRC laws and regulations, if the Group fails to pay any outstanding land grant premium on time, the Group may be subject to a late payment penalty of 0.1% of the outstanding balance for every day of delay in payment. In addition, the PRC government may impose an idle land fee equal to 20% of the land premium or allocation fees if (i) the Group does not commence construction for more than one year but less than two years after the date specified in the relevant land grant contract; (ii) total constructed GFA is less than one-third of the total proposed GFA for the development and the development has been suspended for more than one year without governmental approval; or (iii) the capital invested in the development is less than one-fourth of the total investment approved for the development and the development is suspended for more than one year without governmental approval. Furthermore, the PRC government has the authority to take back the land without compensation to the Group, if the Group does not commence construction for more than two years after the date specified in the land grant contract, unless the delay is caused by force majeure or governmental action.

 

  (ll) During the year ended 31 December 2014 and the 9 months ended 30 September 2015, the Group did not receive any warning regarding idle land or pay any penalties for the late payment of land premium or in respect of idle land, and none of the Group’s land has been taken back by the government as a result of being idle for two years. However, there can be no assurance that there will be no significant delays in the commencement of construction or the development of the Group’s properties in the future, or that the Group’s developments will not be subject to idle land penalties or be taken back by the government as a result of such delays. The imposition of substantial idle land penalties could have a material and adverse affect on the Group’s business, results of operations and financial condition. If any of the Group’s land is taken back by the government, the Group would not only lose the opportunity to develop the property, but the Group would also lose its prior investments in the development, including land premiums paid and costs incurred in connection with such land.

A deterioration in the Group’s brand image could adversely affect its business

 

  (mm)  The Group relies to a significant extent on its brand name and brand image, “Kaisa” (“佳兆業”). Any negative incident or negative publicity concerning the Group or its property developments could adversely affect the Group’s reputation and business. In addition, although the Group is a well-known brand in the Pearl River Delta Region, the Group is less well known in other regions in the PRC. Brand value is based largely on subjective consumer perceptions and can be damaged by isolated incidents that reduce consumer trust. Consumer demand for the Group’s products and its brand value could diminish significantly if the Group fails to preserve the quality of its products, or fails to deliver a consistently positive consumer experience in each of its complexes, or if the Group is perceived to act in an unethical or socially irresponsible manner.

 

  (nn) In addition, the Group’s efforts to protect its brand name may not be adequate, and the Group may be unable to identify any unauthorized use of its brand name or to take appropriate steps to enforce its rights on a timely basis. As at the date of this Explanatory Statement, the Group had registered 820 trademarks in the PRC and 19 trademarks in Hong Kong. The Group’s brand could be misappropriated or misused in the future. If the registration of its brand name “佳兆業” and the relevant trademarks in the PRC cannot be completed, the Group will not be able to have adequate protection against unauthorised use or infringement of its brand name committed by any third parties. Any unauthorised use or infringement of the Group’s brand name may impair the value the Group, damage its reputation and materially and adversely affect its business and results of operations.

 

178


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

The Group may be involved from time to time in disputes, administrative, legal and other proceedings arising out of its operations or subject to fines and sanctions in relation to its non-compliance with certain PRC laws and regulations, and may face significant liabilities as a result

 

  (oo) The Group may be involved in disputes with various parties involved in the construction, development and the sale of its properties, including contractors, suppliers, construction workers, original owners and residents, partners and purchasers. These disputes may lead to protests, legal or other proceedings and may result in damage to the Group’s reputation, incurrence of substantial costs and the diversion of resources and management’s attention. As most of the Group’s projects are comprised of multiple phases, purchasers of its properties in earlier phases may file legal actions against the Group if the Group’s subsequent planning and development of the relevant project is perceived to be inconsistent with its representations and warranties made to such earlier purchasers. These disputes and legal and other proceedings may materially and adversely affect the Group’s reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition. The judicial process of releasing the seizure of properties may decrease the time the Group devotes to normal and customary operating functions. In addition, the Group may have compliance issues with regulatory bodies in the course of its operations, which may subject the Group to administrative proceedings and unfavourable decrees that result in liabilities and cause delays to the Group’s property developments. If the Group fails to comply with any applicable PRC laws or regulations, its reputation and its business, results of operations and financial condition may be materially and adversely affected.

The Company’s substantial shareholders and certain officers may take actions that are not in, or may conflict with, the Company’s or the Group’s creditors’ (including the holders of the Scheme Consideration) best interests

Such substantial shareholders if acting together will be able to influence the Group’s major policy decisions, including its overall strategic and investment decisions, by controlling the election of the Company’s Directors and, in turn, indirectly controlling the selection of its senior management, determining the timing and amount of any dividend payments, approving the Company’s annual budgets, deciding on increases or decreases in its share capital, determining its issuance of new securities, approving mergers, acquisitions and disposals of the Group’s assets or businesses, and amending its Articles of Association.

 

13.7 Risks related to the real estate industry in the PRC

The PRC government may adopt further measures to slow down growth in the property sector

 

  (a) Along with the economic growth in the PRC, investments in the property sectors have increased significantly in the past few years. In response to concerns over the increase in property investments, from 2004 to March 2013, the PRC government introduced various policies and measures to curtail property developments, including:

 

  (i) requiring real estate developers to finance, with their internal resources, at least 35% of their total investments (excluding affordable housing projects);

 

  (ii) limiting the monthly mortgage payment to 50% of an individual borrower’s monthly income and limiting all monthly debt service payments of an individual borrower to 55% of his or her monthly income;

 

  (iii) suspending land supply for villa construction and restricting land supply for high-end residential property construction;

 

180


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (iv) requiring that at least 70% of the land supply approved by any local government for residential property development during any given year must be used for developing low- to medium-cost and small- to medium-size units for sale or as low-cost rental properties;

 

  (v) requiring that at least 70% of the total development and construction area of residential projects approved or constructed on or after 1 June 2006 in any administrative jurisdiction must consist of units with a unit floor area of less than 90 square meters and that projects which have received project approvals prior to this date but have not obtained construction permits must adjust their planning in order to comply with this new requirement, with the exception that municipalities under direct administration of the PRC central government and provincial capitals and certain cities may deviate from such ratio under special circumstances upon approval from MOHURD;

 

  (vi) requiring first-time home owners buying a home of 90 square metre or above to pay the minimum amount of down-payment of 30% of the purchase price of the underlying property;

 

  (vii) requiring any second-time home buyer to pay an increased minimum amount of down- payment of 60% of the purchase price of the underlying property and an increased minimum mortgage loan interest rate of no less than 110% of the relevant PBOC benchmark one-year bank lending interest rate;

 

  (viii) for a commercial property buyer, (i) requiring banks not to finance any purchase of pre-sold properties; (ii) increasing the minimum amount of down-payment to 50% of the purchase price of the underlying property; (iii) increasing the minimum mortgage loan interest rate to 110% of the relevant PBOC benchmark one-year bank lending interest rate; and (iv) limiting the terms of such bank borrowings to no more than 10 years, with commercial banks allowed flexibility based on their risk assessment;

 

  (ix) for a buyer of commercial/residential dual-purpose properties, increasing the minimum amount of down-payment to 45% of the purchase price of the underlying property, with the other terms similar to those for commercial properties;

 

  (x) limiting the grant or extension of revolving credit facilities to property developers that hold a large amount of idle land and vacant commodity properties;

 

  (xi) imposing more restrictions on the types of property developments that foreign investments may engage in;

 

  (xii) imposing or increasing taxes on short-term gains from second-hand property sales;

 

  (xiii) restricting foreign investment in the property sector by, among other things, increasing registered capital and other requirements for establishing FIREEs, tightening foreign exchange control and imposing restrictions on purchases of properties in the PRC by foreign persons;

 

181


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (xiv) requiring commercial banks to suspend mortgage loans to customers for purchase of a third or further residential property, or to non-residents who cannot provide proof of local tax or social security insurance payments for more than a one-year period;

 

  (xv) raising the benchmark one-year lending rate published by PBOC during the period from 2010 to June 2012;

 

  (xvi) adjusting the PBOC RMB deposit reserve requirement ratio for all PRC deposit taking financial institutions nine times in 2011 and 2012, with the current ratio ranging from 16.5% to 20%, effective from 18 May 2012;

 

  (xvii) non-registered residents who own one or more residential properties and fail to provide one-year or longer tax payment certificates or social insurance payment certificates are prohibited from purchasing any residential properties located in the administrative area; and

 

  (xviii) strictly enforcing a 20% tax on home sale profits.

 

  (b) There can be no assurance that the PRC government will not change or modify these temporary measures in the future. These measures may limit the Group’s access to capital resources, reduce market demand for its products and increase its operating costs in complying with these measures. There can be no assurance that the PRC government will not adopt additional and more stringent measures, which could further slow down property development in the PRC and adversely affect the Group’s business and prospects.

The Group is exposed to contractual, legal and regulatory risks related to pre-sales

 

  (c) The Group depends on cashflows from pre-sales of properties as an important source of funding for its property developments. The Group faces risks relating to the pre-sale of properties. For example, the Group may find itself liable to the purchasers for their losses if the Group pre-sells units in a property development and fails to complete that development. If the Group fails to complete a pre-sold property on time, its purchasers may claim compensation for late delivery pursuant to either their contracts with the Group or relevant PRC laws and regulations. If the Group’s delay extends beyond a specified period, its purchasers may terminate their pre-sale contracts and claim compensation. A purchaser may also terminate his or her contract with the Group if the GFA of the relevant unit, as set out in the individual property ownership certificate, deviates by more than 3% from the GFA of that unit set out in his or her contract. There can be no assurance that the Group will not experience delays in the completion and delivery of the Group’s projects, or that the GFA for a delivered unit will not deviate by more than 3% from the GFA set out in the relevant contract in every instance. Any termination of the purchase contract as a result of the Group’s late delivery of properties or deviation from the GFA set out in such contract will have a material adverse effect on the Group’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

182


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (d) Under current PRC laws and regulations, property developers must fulfil certain conditions before they can commence pre-sales of the relevant properties and pre-sales proceeds may only be used to finance the related development. Various PRC authorities and regulators have publicly called for the discontinuance or abolishment of pre-sales, or to impose tighter regulations on such practice. There can be no assurance that the PRC governmental authority will not ban the practice of pre-selling uncompleted properties or implement further restrictions on the pre-sale of properties, such as imposing additional conditions for a pre-sale permit or further restrictions on the use of pre-sale proceeds. Proceeds from the pre-sale of the Group’s properties are an important source of financing for its property developments. Consequently, any restriction on the Group’s ability to pre-sell its properties, including any increase in the amount of up-front expenditure the Group must incur prior to obtaining the pre-sale permit, would extend the time period required for recovery of its capital outlay and would result in its needing to seek alternative means to finance the various stages of its property developments. This, in turn, could have an adverse effect on the Group’s business, cashflow results of operations and financial condition.

The total GFA of some of the Group’s developments may exceed the original permitted GFA and the excess GFA is subject to governmental approval and payment of additional land premium

 

  (e) The permitted total GFA for a particular development is set out in various governmental documents issued at various stages. In many cases, the underlying land grant contract will specify permitted total GFA. Total GFA is also set out in the relevant urban planning approvals and various construction permits. If constructed total GFA exceeds the permitted total, or if the completed development contains built-up areas that the authorities believe do not conform to the approved plans as set out in the relevant construction works planning permit, the Group may not be able to obtain the acceptance and compliance form of construction completion for the development, and as a consequence, the Group would not be in a position to deliver individual units to purchasers or to recognize the related pre-sale proceeds as revenue. Moreover, excess GFA requires governmental approval, and the payment of additional land premium. The Group may also be subject to liability to purchasers under its sales and purchase agreements. For example, in the development of the Group’s Guangzhou Jinmao project, the constructed total GFA exceeded the permitted total GFA as provided in the construction works planning permit, and the Group was required to seek approval and pay additional land premiums for the excess GFA in 2009.

 

  (f) There can be no assurance that constructed total GFA for each of the Group’s existing projects under development or any future property developments will not exceed the permitted total GFA for that development, or that the authorities will not determine that all built-up areas conform to the plans approved as set out in the construction permit. Moreover, there can be no assurance that the Group would have sufficient funding to pay any required additional land premium or to pay for any corrective action that may be required in a timely manner, or at all. Any of these circumstances may materially and adversely affect the Group’s reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

13.8 Risks related to the PRC

The Group’s income tax obligations may increase, dividends from its PRC subsidiaries may be subject to withholding tax under PRC tax laws and the Group may be subject to PRC tax under the Enterprise Income Tax Law

 

  (a) In March 2007, the National People’s Congress of the PRC and its Standing Committee (the “NPC” or the “National People’s Congress”) enacted the Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC (the “Enterprise Income Tax Law”), which took effect on 1 January 2008. The Enterprise Income Tax Law imposes a unified income tax rate of 25% on all domestic and foreign-invested enterprises unless they qualify under certain limited exceptions. According to the Enterprise Income Tax Law, enterprises that were previously subject to an enterprise income tax rate lower than 25% continued to enjoy the lower rate and gradually transitioned to the new tax rate within five years after 1 January 2008. For example, companies established in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone were subject to PRC enterprise income tax at a rate of 15% before 1 January 2008 and allowed an extension period of five years to phase into the new tax regime until the end of 2012, after which the unified 25% tax rate has been imposed. In 2014 and the nine months ended 30 September 2015, the Group paid enterprise income tax of approximately RMB303 million (US$47 million) and approximately RMB182 million (US$28 million), respectively.

 

183


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

 

  (b) The Company is a holding company that is financially dependent on distributions from its subsidiaries and its business operations are principally conducted through the Group’s PRC subsidiaries. Prior to 31 December 2007, dividend payments to foreign investors made by foreign-invested enterprises, such as dividends paid to the Company by its PRC subsidiaries, were exempt from PRC withholding tax. The Enterprise Income Tax Law and the Regulations for Implementation of Enterprise Income Tax Law of the PRC (together with the Enterprise Income Tax Law, the “Enterprise Income Tax Laws”), effective 1 January 2008, provide that any dividend payment to foreign investors is subject to a withholding tax at a rate of 10%. Pursuant to the Arrangement between the PRC and Hong Kong for the Avoidance of Double Taxation and Prevention of Fiscal Evasion with respect to Taxes on Income signed on 21 August 2006, a company incorporated in Hong Kong may be subject to withholding income tax at a rate of 5% on dividends it receives from its PRC subsidiaries if it holds a 25% or more interest in that particular PRC subsidiary at the time of the distribution, or 10% if it holds less than a 25% interest in that subsidiary, although there is uncertainty under a recent circular regarding whether intermediate Hong Kong holding companies will remain eligible for benefits under this arrangement.

 

  (c) In addition, under the Enterprise Income Tax Laws, enterprises established under the laws of jurisdictions outside the PRC with their “de facto management bodies” located within the PRC may be considered PRC resident enterprises and therefore subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on their worldwide income. The Enterprise Income Tax Laws provide that the “de facto management body” of an enterprise is the organisation that exercises substantial and overall management and control over the production, employees, books of accounts and properties of the enterprise. If a majority of the members of the Company’s management team or a majority of the Company’s directors continue to be located in the PRC, the Company may be considered a PRC resident enterprise and therefore subject to PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on the Company’s worldwide income. If the Company’s PRC subsidiaries become subject to the withholding tax or the Company or any of its non-PRC subsidiaries otherwise become a PRC resident enterprise under the Enterprise Income Tax Laws, the Company’s profitability and cashflow would be materially and adversely affected.

 

184


Explanatory Statement – Part 6 – Risk Factors

 

Interest payable by the Company to the Group’s foreign investors and gain on the sale of the Scheme Consideration may become subject to withholding taxes under PRC tax laws

 

  (d) Under the Enterprise Income Tax Laws, if the Group is deemed a PRC resident enterprise, the interest payable on the New HY Notes, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and Exchange Convertible Bonds and any payments in respect of the CVRs will be considered to be sourced within the PRC. PRC income tax at the rate of 10% will be applicable to such interest payable by the Group to investors that are “non-resident enterprises” so long as such “non-resident enterprise” investors do not have an establishment or place of business in the PRC or if, despite the existence of such establishment or place of business in the PRC, the relevant income is not effectively connected with such establishment or place of business in the PRC. Similarly, any gain realized on the transfer of the Scheme Consideration by such investors will be subject to 10% PRC income tax if such gain is regarded as income derived from sources within the PRC. It is uncertain whether the Group will be considered a PRC “resident enterprise,” so the Group is not sure whether the interest payable to its foreign investors, or the gain its foreign investors may realise from the transfer of Scheme Consideration, would be treated as income sourced within the PRC and be subject to PRC tax. If the Group is required under the Enterprise Income Tax Laws to withhold PRC income tax on its interest payable to its foreign shareholders who are “non-resident enterprises,” the Group will be required to pay such additional amounts as will result in receipt by a Noteholder and/or a CB Holder and/or an Existing Offshore Loans Creditor and/or a holder of Scheme Consideration of such amounts as would have been received by the holder had no such withholding been required. The requirement to pay additional amounts will increase the cost of servicing interest payments on the New HY Notes, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and Exchange Convertible Bonds, and could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s ability to make payments in respect of the CVRs or, pay interest on, and repay the principal amount of, the New HY Notes, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and Exchange Convertible Bonds, as well as its profitability and cashflow. In addition, if such a holder is required to pay PRC income tax on the transfer of the Scheme Consideration, the value of your investment in the Scheme Consideration may be materially and adversely affected. It is unclear whether, if the Group is considered a PRC “resident enterprise,” holders of the Scheme Consideration might be able to claim the benefit of income tax treaties or agreements entered into between the PRC and other countries or areas.

THIS DOCUMENT IS IMPORTANT AND REQUIRES YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION

 

    Please read the Explanatory Statement and the Schemes, and follow the instructions contained herein before completing your Account Holder Letter. Unless otherwise defined, terms used in this document have the same meanings as in the Explanatory Statement.

 

    There are two forms of Account Holder Letter provided with this Instruction Packet. In Schedule 1 is an Account Holder Letter for Account Holders of Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds and in Schedule 2 is an Account Holder Letter for Account Holders of Existing Offshore Loans. Please read, complete and submit the relevant Account Holder Letter that applies to you.

 

    Please tick the appropriate boxes in the relevant Account Holder Letter to indicate your acceptance or rejection of the Schemes.

 

    Please ensure that the Account Holder Letter is completed, executed and submitted in accordance with the instructions set out therein so that it is received by the Information Agent by the Voting Instruction Deadline, being 9.00 a.m. (Cayman Islands time) on 18 May 2016 / 10.00 p.m. (Hong Kong Time) on 18 May 2016 / 10.00 a.m. (New York City time) on 18 May 2016.

 

    In the case of Existing HY Notes and Convertible Bonds, if you are not an Account Holder, then please allow sufficient time for your Account Holder to give instructions to the Clearing Systems to block the Existing HY Notes or Convertible Bonds, as applicable, in the relevant Clearing System before the Depositary Instruction Deadline, being 11.00 a.m. (Cayman Islands time) on 12 May 2016 / 12.00 a.m. (Hong Kong Time) on 13 May 2016 / 12.00 p.m. (New York City time) on 12 May 2016 and to process and submit the Account Holder Letter by the Voting Instruction Deadline.

1.1 Introduction

 

  (a) These instructions have been prepared to assist Scheme Creditors in completing the relevant Account Holder Letter.

 

  (b) The Account Holder Letter encloses a Scheme Consideration Election Form and a Distribution Confirmation Deed, which are required to be validly completed and executed by or on behalf of Scheme Creditors to enable those Scheme Creditors to receive their Scheme Consideration.

 

 

App.2-1


  (c) In the case of the Existing HY Notes and the Convertible Bonds, each of the Existing Notes Trustee and the CB Trustee (the “Trustees” and each a “Trustee”), and the Depositaries, will not exercise any voting rights at the Scheme Meetings in respect of the Existing HY Notes or Convertible Bonds unless instructed to do so in accordance with the Existing Indentures or Trust Deed, as applicable. In the event of such instruction, any vote of a Trustee shall, to the extent permitted by the Existing Indentures or Trust Deed, as applicable, be assessed on a ‘look through’ basis to identify the vote of the relevant instructing Noteholder or CB Holder, either for or against the relevant Scheme, and as to both numerosity and value. If a Noteholder or CB Holder instructs its Trustee to vote, then any other vote of that Noteholder or CB Holder shall not be counted and the Chairperson of the Scheme Meetings shall count only the vote of the Trustee.

 

  (d) The Information Agent has been appointed to facilitate communications with Scheme Creditors concerning the Schemes. The Information Agent’s remuneration and expenses, and all costs incurred by it in its role as Information Agent, shall be paid and reimbursed by the Company.

 

1.2 Voting at the Scheme Meetings

 

  (a) Before the Schemes can be sanctioned by the High Court and the Grand Court to become effective and binding on the Company and the Scheme Creditors, a majority in number, representing at least 75% of the aggregate value of the Scheme Claims, of the Scheme Creditors present and voting (whether in person or by proxy) at each of the following Scheme Meetings, must vote to approve the relevant Scheme:

 

  (i) the HK Scheme Meeting; and

 

  (ii) the CI Scheme Meeting.

 

  (b) A Scheme Creditor will be entitled to vote at each of the Scheme Meetings provided the relevant Account Holder Letter (duly completed and executed) has been submitted by or on behalf of such Scheme Creditor in accordance with the instructions in this Instruction Packet and the relevant Account Holder Letter.

 

  (c) The Scheme Meetings have been ordered by the High Court and the Grand Court to be held, with any adjournment as may be appropriate, as follows:

 

  (i) the CI Scheme Meeting to be held at 9:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on 20 May 2016 / 8:00 a.m. (Cayman Islands time) on 20 May 2016 at the Cayman Islands office of Harneys at 4th Floor, Harbour Place, 103 South Church Street, PO Box 10240, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, KY1-1002; and

App.2-2


1.3 Process and deadline for voting at the Scheme Meetings

 

  (a) Voting on the Schemes will take place at the Scheme Meetings by Scheme Creditors appearing in person, by a duly authorised representative or by proxy as explained in more detail in Section 2 (Scheme Creditors) below.

 

  (b) Account Holder Letters must be completed and submitted to the Information Agent by the Voting Instruction Deadline. If a Scheme Creditor is not an Account Holder, it must ensure that it submits its voting instructions, votes and elections to its Account Holder sufficiently in advance of the Voting Instruction Deadline to enable its Account Holder to complete and return the Account Holder Letter to the Information Agent by the Voting Instruction Deadline.

 

  (c) The Company may terminate or amend this Instruction Packet at any time prior to the Voting Instruction Deadline. The Company may also extend the Voting Instruction Deadline. Any such extension will be notified to Scheme Creditors as promptly as practicable. If the Company extends the Voting Instruction Deadline, it also reserves the right to establish a later Record Time.

 

  (d) Subject to paragraph 1.3(e) below, the failure of a Scheme Creditor to deliver a duly completed Account Holder Letter by the Voting Instruction Deadline will mean that the voting instructions, votes and elections contained in the Account Holder Letter will be disregarded for the purposes of voting at the Scheme Meetings, and the relevant Scheme Creditor will not be entitled to vote on the Schemes at the Scheme Meetings.

 

  (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of the Explanatory Statement, the Chairperson of the Scheme Meetings will be entitled to permit or reject, at his or her sole discretion, a person to vote at the Scheme Meetings in accordance with a duly completed Account Holder Letter which is delivered after the Voting Instruction Deadline.

 

1.4 Assessment of Scheme Claims for voting purposes

 

  (a) The amount of the Scheme Claim of each Scheme Creditor which submits a valid Account Holder Letter will be calculated (for voting purposes) as at the Record Time based on information provided to the Company by the Information Agent. This information will be used by the Chairperson to determine whether each resolution is passed at the Scheme Meetings.

 

  (b) Only those persons who are Scheme Creditors as at the Record Time are entitled to attend and vote, either in person, by a duly authorised representative, if a corporation, or by proxy, at the Scheme Meetings.

 

  (c) The assessment of Scheme Claims for voting purposes shall be carried out by the Chairperson. The Chairperson may, for voting purposes, reject a Scheme Claim in whole or in part if the Chairperson considers that it does not constitute a fair and reasonable assessment of the relevant sums owed to the relevant Scheme Creditor or if the relevant Scheme Creditor has not complied with the voting procedures described in the Explanatory Statement. If a Scheme Claim is unascertained, contingent or disputed (in part) but the Chairperson is able to estimate a minimum value of that Scheme Claim, the Chairperson may admit the Scheme Claim for voting purposes at that minimum value. If a Scheme Claim is disputed in its entirety, or the Chairperson is otherwise unable to place a minimum value on it, that Scheme Claim may be rejected by the Chairperson in its entirety for voting purposes.

 

 

App.2-3


  (d) Votes cast by Scheme Creditors will be applied against the positions held by or on behalf of such Scheme Creditors in the Existing HY Notes or Convertible Bonds or Existing Offshore Loans, as applicable, as at the Record Time. The value of votes attributed to a Scheme Creditor’s position held according to such Scheme Creditor’s Account Holder Letter will not be counted in excess of the principal amount of Existing HY Notes or Convertible Bonds or Existing Offshore Loans, as applicable, held by such Scheme Creditor. To the extent conflicting votes or “overvotes” are submitted by one or more Scheme Creditor(s), the Chairperson, in good faith, will attempt to reconcile discrepancies, failing which such votes shall not be counted for or against the relevant Scheme.

 

  (e) For the purposes of tabulating votes, each Scheme Creditor will be deemed to have voted the principal amount related to its Scheme Claim.

 

  (f) The Chairperson will report to the Grand Court and the High Court at the hearings to sanction the Schemes his or her decision to reject any Scheme Claims, with details of those Scheme Claims and the reasons for rejection.

 

  (h) The admission and valuation of any Scheme Claim for voting purposes does not (in itself) constitute an admission of the existence or value of the Scheme Claim and will not bind the Company or the Scheme Creditor for any purpose other than voting at the Scheme Meetings.

 

1.5 Transfers/Assignments after the Record Time

The Company shall be under no obligation to recognise any assignment or transfer of Scheme Claims after the Record Time for the purposes of determining entitlements under the Schemes, provided that where the Company has received notice in writing from the parties to such assignment or transfer, the Company may, in its discretion (acting reasonably) and subject to the production of such other evidence as it may reasonably require and to any other terms and conditions which it may render necessary, agree to recognise such assignment or transfer for the purposes of determining entitlements under the Schemes. It shall be a condition of such recognition that the assignee or transferee of a Scheme Claim so recognised by the Company shall be bound by the terms of the Schemes and for the purposes of the Schemes shall be a Scheme Creditor.

 

2. SECTION 2 – SCHEME CREDITORS

 

2.1 General

 

  (a) Each Scheme Creditor who is not an Account Holder shall submit its voting instructions and vote on any elections under the Schemes through its Account Holder. If you are a Scheme Creditor but not an Account Holder, in order to ensure your vote is counted, each Account Holder must:

 

  (i) duly complete the relevant portions of the relevant Account Holder Letter in accordance with these instructions and the instructions contained in the Account Holder Letter;

 

  (ii) indicate the decision to either vote for or against the Schemes; and

 

  (iii) sign and return the Account Holder Letter to the Information Agent in accordance with the instructions contained in this Instruction Packet and the relevant Account Holder Letter.

 

 

App.2-4


  (b) The Account Holder Letter must be sent by each Scheme Creditor who is not an Account Holder to its Account Holder, not to the Information Agent, allowing sufficient time for the Account Holder to receive the Account Holder Letter, complete the relevant portions of the Account Holder Letter, and transmit the Account Holder Letter to the Information Agent so that it is actually received by the Voting Instruction Deadline.

 

  (c) It will be the responsibility of the Account Holder, who is not the Scheme Creditor, to obtain from the Scheme Creditor (through any Intermediaries, if applicable) on whose behalf it is acting in accordance with the procedures established between them, whatever information or instructions they may require to identify in an Account Holder Letter the relevant Scheme Creditor and to provide the information, instructions and confirmations required by the Account Holder Letter. None of the Company, the Information Agent, or any other person will be responsible for any loss or liability incurred by a Scheme Creditor or its Account Holder as a result of any determination by the Information Agent that an Account Holder Letter has not been duly completed, even if this is subsequently shown not to have been the case.

 

  (d) If a person is in any doubt as to whether or not it is a Scheme Creditor or an Account Holder, such person should contact the Information Agent using the contact details set out in the Account Holder Letter.

 

2.2 Blocking Existing HY Notes and Convertible Bonds held in a Euroclear and/or Clearstream and non-trading of Existing HY Notes held in DTC and/or CMU

 

  (a) In relation to Existing HY Notes and Convertible Bonds held at Euroclear and/or Clearstream (each a “Senior Clearing System”), Account Holders should ensure that Euroclear and/or Clearstream (as the case may be) has received irrevocable instructions (with which it has/they have complied) to block the Existing HY Notes or Convertible Bonds, as applicable, which are the subject of an Account Holder Letter (“Custody Instructions”). Each Scheme Creditor procuring the submission of an Account Holder Letter by its Account Holder should instruct its Account Holder to confirm that (and the Account Holder should ensure that) the Account Holder Letter cross references the relevant Custody Instruction reference number(s). Failure to include a valid Custody Instruction reference number in an Account Holder Letter delivered on behalf of a Scheme Creditor to the Information Agent will invalidate that Account Holder Letter, and the voting instructions and elections contained in that Account Holder Letter will be disregarded for the purposes of voting in respect of Schemes, and the relevant Scheme Creditor will, subject to the Chairperson’s discretion, not be entitled to vote at the Scheme Meetings.

 

  (b) Existing HY Notes or Convertible Bonds held at Euroclear or Clearstream should be blocked in accordance with the procedures of the relevant Senior Clearing System and the deadlines required by that Senior Clearing System. It is the responsibility of Account Holders to ensure that they comply with any particular deadlines imposed by the Information Agent and the relevant Senior Clearing System for blocking the Existing HY Notes or Convertible Bonds, as applicable.

 

  (c) The relevant Senior Clearing System will assign a Custody Instruction reference number in respect of each Custody Instruction and, as noted in paragraph 2.2(a) above, the Custody Instruction reference number must be cross referenced in the Account Holder Letter relating to the Existing HY Notes or Convertible Bonds, as applicable, in respect of which the Custody Instruction reference number has been obtained. An Account Holder Letter will not be valid if it does not contain the relevant Custody Instruction reference number(s). This will enable the Information Agent to verify the blocking of the Existing HY Notes or Convertible Bonds in accordance with paragraph 2.2(d) below.

 

App.2-5


  (d) The Information Agent will request the Senior Clearing Systems to confirm to its satisfaction that the relevant Existing HY Notes or Convertible Bonds (as the case may be) have been blocked with effect from or before the date of receipt by the Information Agent of the relevant Account Holder Letter. If a Senior Clearing System does not provide such confirmation to the Information Agent’s satisfaction, the Information Agent may reject that Account Holder Letter, and the voting instructions and elections made therein will be disregarded for the purpose of voting in respect of the Schemes, and the Scheme Creditor will not be entitled to vote at the Scheme Meetings, subject to the Chairperson’s discretion. In order to give the requested confirmation, the Senior Clearing Systems will need to have received the Custody Instructions no later than the Depositary Instruction Deadline.

 

  (e) In relation to Existing HY Notes held at DTC, the relevant Account Holder should ensure that its Signature Medallion Guarantee Stamp is affixed to the space provided in Part 2, Section 1 of the Account Holder Letter, and in relation to Existing HY Notes held at CMU, the relevant Account Holder should ensure that it signs the relevant signature block in Part 2, Section 1 of the Account Holder Letter. By doing so, the Account Holder confirms that it is instructed by the relevant Scheme Creditor to confirm to the Company and the Information Agent that such Scheme Creditor (i) holds the Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds detailed in Part 2, Section 1 of the Account Holder Letter and will do so as at the Record Time; (ii) will not trade such Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds; and (iii) agrees that the Company shall be entitled to treat such Scheme Creditor (or its Designated Recipient) as the party entitled to receive any Scheme Consideration in respect of such holding of Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds. In addition to this the other parts of the Account Holder Letter must be validly and properly completed. Each Scheme Creditor procuring the submission of an Account Holder Letter by its Account Holder should instruct its Account Holder to affix its Signature Medallion Guarantee Stamp or sign the relevant signature block (as applicable) in Part 2, Section 1 of the Account Holder Letter. Failure to do so will invalidate the Account Holder Letter delivered on behalf of a Scheme Creditor to the Information Agent, and the voting instructions and elections contained in that Account Holder Letter will be disregarded for the purposes of voting in respect of Schemes, and the relevant Scheme Creditor will, subject to the Chairperson’s discretion, not be entitled to vote at the Scheme Meetings.

 

  (f) The Existing HY Notes and Convertible Bonds shall be released from the requirement to be blocked or the requirement not to be traded at the “Release Time” which means earlier of:

 

  (i) the time at which the New HY Notes, Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds and CVRs are issued under the New Indentures, the New Trust Deed and the CVR Agreement (as applicable);

 

  (ii) the time of conclusion of the Scheme Meetings or any adjournment thereof, at which votes have taken place and the Schemes are not approved by the requisite majorities of the Scheme Creditors specified in section 674 of the Companies Ordinance or section 86 of the Companies Law; or

 

  (iii) the time of conclusion of the Sanction Hearings or any adjournment thereof, if the Courts do not grant orders sanctioning the Schemes.

 

  (g) The failure to deliver a valid Account Holder Letter on behalf of a Scheme Creditor to the Information Agent in the manner and within the deadlines referred to above will mean that the vote contained in such Account Holder Letter will be disregarded for the purposes of voting in respect of the Schemes, and the relevant Scheme Creditor will not be entitled to vote at the Scheme Meetings, subject to the Chairperson’s discretion with respect to the Scheme Meetings.

 

 

App.2-6


2.3 Completing the Account Holder Letter

 

  (a) Each Scheme Creditor who is not an Account Holder will need to provide its voting instructions to its Account Holder in order to duly complete the Account Holder Letter.

Elections relating to Scheme Meetings

 

  (b) In summary, each Scheme Creditor may decide, among other things:

 

  (i) to attend and vote at the Scheme Meetings in person or by a duly authorised representative, if a corporation; or

 

  (ii) to appoint the Chairperson as its proxy and to instruct it to cast a vote on behalf of such Scheme Creditor and whether to instruct it to vote in accordance with the wishes of such Scheme Creditor; or

 

  (iii) to appoint someone else as its proxy to attend and vote at the Scheme Meetings in person on its behalf and whether to instruct it to cast a vote in accordance with the wishes of such Scheme Creditor,

in each case, by ensuring that such election is recorded in the Account Holder Letter delivered by it or on its behalf, and that the voting intention section of the Account Holder Letter is completed.

 

  (c) Each Scheme Creditor is recommended to appoint a proxy (either the Chairperson or someone else of its choice who would be willing to attend the Scheme Meetings) in any event, even if that Scheme Creditor intends to attend and vote in person or by a duly authorised representative, if a corporation, in case such Scheme Creditor is unable to do so for some reason. A Scheme Creditor who appoints a proxy will still be entitled to attend and vote at the Scheme Meetings in person or by a duly authorised representative, if a corporation, but the proxy previously appointed will no longer be entitled to vote under that appointment.

Instructions to be included

 

  (d) Each Scheme Creditor should ensure that the following is included in the Account Holder Letter delivered on its behalf:

 

  (i) its identity;

 

  (ii) in the case of Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds, details of the Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds which are the subject of the Account Holder Letter, including the ISIN code, the principal amount of the Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds held at the relevant Clearing System, the identity of the relevant Clearing System, the account number of the Account Holder in the relevant Clearing System and the Custody Instruction reference number(s) (where applicable);

 

 

App.2-7


  (iii) in the case of Existing HY Notes held in DTC or CMU and outside either Euroclear or Clearstream, a confirmation by the Account Holder that such Existing HY Notes are held by that Scheme Creditor and will be so held as at the Record Time;

 

  (iv) in the case of Existing Offshore Loans, details of the Existing Offshore Loans which are the subject of the Account Holder Letter, and the principal amount of the Existing Offshore Loans held by the Scheme Creditor;

 

  (v) the appropriate confirmations to be given by the Account Holder; and

 

  (vi) its voting instructions with respect to the Schemes.

 

  (e) Each Scheme Creditor which submits, delivers or procures the delivery of an Account Holder Letter shall be deemed to make the representations, warranties and undertakings to the Company and the Information Agent set forth in the Account Holder Letter.

 

2.4 Delivery of Account Holder Letter

 

  (a) This Instruction Packet (including the Account Holder Letters), the Explanatory Statement, the Schemes, and any related materials are available on the Scheme Website (at www.lucid-is.com/kaisa) for inspection by Account Holders. The Account Holders, if they are not the beneficial holders, should forward the Instruction Packet, the Explanatory Statement, the Schemes and any related materials to the beneficial holders of the Existing HY Notes and/or Convertible Bonds and/or Existing Offshore Loans, for whom they act, for voting.

INTRODUCTION

Overview

 

1. AlixPartners Services UK LLP (‘AlixPartners’) has been instructed by the Company to include commentary on the following scope areas within this Report:

 

    “Review the Company and its subsidiaries’ (‘the Group’) draft management accounts for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 (‘FY14’) and the management accounts for the nine month period ended 30 September 2015 (‘FY15YTD’). Prepare a high level summary of recent trading performance of the Group (based upon the information made available to us and the representations of the Company).”

 

    “Discuss with the Group and the auditors of the Group, PricewaterhouseCoopers Hong Kong (‘PwC’) (to the extent achievable), the reasons for the inability to provide an unqualified audit opinion for FY14, as well as reviewing any correspondence between PwC and the Group.”We refer the reader to paragraph 5 (ix) for further details in this regard.

 

    “Undertake a high level analytical review of the Group’s base case cash flow forecast (‘CFF’) for the period ending 31 December 2020, highlighting the key risks, sensitivities and upsides to the forecast.

 

2. AlixPartners’ sole duty of care is to the Company. AlixPartners is not responsible to and does not owe any duty of care to any other person, and is not responsible for providing advice to, and is not purporting to advise any other person, in connection with such matters.

 

3. The scope of AlixPartners’ work in preparing this Report is based on the Company’s instructions and according to the identified limitations of scope (see paragraph 5 below). By accepting and referring to the Report, the offshore creditors and any other party who gains access to the Report (‘AlixPartners Report Recipients’) will be taken to have represented, warranted and undertaken that they have read and agree with the contents of the subsection entitled ‘Disclaimer’ below.

 

4. This Report is split into two parts, namely:

 

  i. Part 1 – “Financial Information Review” in respect of the draft management accounts for FY14 and FY15YTD, together with comments in respect of the FY14 audit.

 

  ii. Part 2 – “Cash Flow Forecast Review” in respect of a cash flow forecast (‘CFF’) prepared by Houlihan Lokey (‘Houlihan’) with input from the Group.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

App.5-2


Limitation of Scope

 

5. In respect of each Part of this Report, AlixPartners draws your attention to the following:

 

  i. Our fieldwork was completed on 21 December 2015 and has been further supplemented by:

 

  a. feedback received from the Group, TdW and Houlihan up to and including the week commencing 14 March 2016; and

 

  b. receipt of the updated DTZ summary valuation schedules on 26 January 2016 and report on 2 February 2016.

 

  ii. We have relied on management information and explanations from the Group. No verification to source documents has been undertaken. As such, the scope of our work does not in any way constitute an audit in accordance with applicable International Accounting Standards and we provide no opinion on the accuracy of the financial information presented in this Report.

 

  iii. The Company has provided us with a signed letter of representation which confirms, amongst other matters, the factual accuracy of the information set out in Parts 1 and 2 of this Report and the absence of material events since the date our work was completed, which may substantially alter the output of our work.

 

  iv. The Company acknowledges that the extent of the work performed by AlixPartners is greater than that provided within this Report. The Company has requested that the extent of the disclosure in this Report be limited to a high level disclosure to ensure that this Report is in line with the Company’s past financial report disclosure practices and is generally in line with the Company’s auditing practices, such that in the event this Report is publicly disclosed in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations, the Company will not be obligated or expected to provide such information in its future financial reports or other public disclosures.

 

  v. Our work excludes assessment of the historical consolidated cash generation of the Group during FY14 and FY15YTD.

 

  vi. Our work excludes assessment of the performance of the Group in comparison to the latest available budget information. vii. The Group does not routinely produce monthly management account information on a consolidated basis. Nevertheless, it does produce monthly management accounts for each of the Group’s operating subsidiaries. Consolidated management accounting information is produced on a half yearly and yearly basis. As such, the preparation of consolidated financial information for the nine months ended 30 September 2015 represents a non-routine process for the Group’s finance department.

 

  viii. The Group engages external valuers to undertake property valuations only for the interim and full year accounts to recognise current market conditions. This valuation has not been conducted as at FY15YTD and as a result is not reflected in the FY15YTD financials presented.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

App.5-3


  ix. The audit of the FY14 financial statements has yet to be finalised. The FY14 profit and loss account and balance sheet information provided to us and presented in this Report incorporates adjustments proposed by the Group, and which the Group has informed us have been prepared to the directors’ best belief and knowledge in accordance with applicable accounting standards. PwC did not make themselves available to discuss the proposed FY14 adjustments. The Independent Committee engaged FTI Consulting (Hong Kong) Limited (‘FTI’) to investigate the matters raised by PwC). We understand FTI have been undertaking fieldwork since 26 November 2015 and were formally engaged on 29 December 2015. Accordingly, the work of FTI has yet to be finalised or made available to us. As a result of the matters set out above, we have been unable to provide commentary within this Report on the latest position in respect of completion of the FY14 audit and finalisation of the Group’s statutory accounts.

 

  x. Our work excludes assessment of the existence of any off-balance sheet items and contingent liabilities, including any material litigation and claims against the Group.

 

  xi. We have only had limited time to consider DTZ’s revised valuation report and supporting schedules and as such our work excludes a detailed assessment of their property valuation.

 

  xii. We have not conducted any visits to the Group’s places of business, save for the offices in Shenzhen and Hong Kong. For the avoidance of doubt, no site visits have been undertaken in respect of the Group’s property development activities.

 

  xiii. In accordance with our scope of work, we have not requested information in respect of the foreign exchange strategy of the Group, nor the gains and losses generated during the period of review.

 

  xiv. We have presented the financial performance and position of the Group in Chinese Yuan Renminbi (‘RMB’) throughout this Report.

 

  xv. In accordance with our scope of work, this Report excludes any review of the financial control environment and accounting systems of the Group. Consequently, we are unable to comment on the effectiveness of the financial control procedures and systems in place within the Group, from which the financial information presented to us has been derived.

 

  xvi. The CFF has been prepared on a standalone basis by Houlihan and the Group. AlixPartners has had no input into its construction or the key assumptions contained therein.

 

  xvii. As set out in our Engagement Letter dated 11 December 2015 and the variation one and two letters to the Engagement Letter dated 28 January and 21 March 2016 respectively, the Company is responsible for the preparation of the CFF and for the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions. Where we have made adjustments to the forecasts, these relate solely to contingencies or amendments that we consider appropriate. The adjustments should not be taken to imply that the resulting adjusted CFF is our own. Given that the assumptions relate to the future and may be affected by unforeseen events, we can express no opinion as to how closely the actual outcome will correspond to the CFF.

 

  xviii. We understand the opening onshore and offshore debt position assumed in the CFF has been based upon the latest debt position as set out in the Group’s proposed adjustments (see Part 2 of this Report), and also the limitation of scope noted above in respect of the work of PwC and FTI and the uncertainty in respect of the FY14 audit sign off.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

App.5-4


  xix. Our work has largely focused on the forecast operating cash generation of the Group. Whilst we have conducted a high level review of the forecast funding structure and repayment scenarios to onshore and offshore lenders, we have not undertaken any verification of this data to external loan documentation (particularly the guarantee and security arrangements), the latest Restructuring Support Agreement as at the date of this Report (‘RSA’) or current term sheets, relying instead upon the work undertaken by Houlihan in this regard.

 

  xx. The financial information in this Report has been rounded to the nearest million, unless otherwise stated, hence there may be minor differences compared to the original information presented to us by the Group, or where the same information is presented in different parts of this Report.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

DISCLAIMER

 

    The Report has been prepared by AlixPartners solely for the benefit of the Company, and is disclosed in this Report strictly on a non-reliance basis, for information only. No reliance may be placed for any purpose whatsoever on the Report and any reliance offshore creditors and/or AlixPartners Report Recipients choose to place on such information is a matter for their judgement exclusively and at their own risk. To the fullest extent permitted by law, no liability or responsibility whatsoever is accepted by AlixPartners for any loss howsoever arising from any use of or reliance on the Report contained in this Report or in connection therewith.

 

    The Report is based on information and explanations provided by the Group which have not been subject to independent verification, audit or checking. Accordingly, AlixPartners assumes no liability whatsoever and makes no representations or warranties, express or implied, in relation to the contents of the Explanatory Statement, including its accuracy, completeness or verification or for any other statement made or purported to be made by or on behalf of the Company or AlixPartners. Additionally, AlixPartners identified a number of limitations to its Report. A full list of these limitations is summarised in paragraph 5.

 

    This Report contains certain statements, estimates, statistics and projections that are, or may be, forward-looking. The accuracy and completeness of all such statements, including, without limitation, statements regarding the Group’s future financial position, strategy, plans and objectives for the management of future operations, is not warranted or guaranteed.

    The FY14 audit has not been completed, nor will it be in the immediate future. As such, the Report includes a review of the current and forecast financial position of the Group in Parts 1 and 2. For the avoidance of any doubt, the work AlixPartners has been engaged to carry out does not constitute an audit of the Group’s financial position and AlixPartners is not in a position to provide an opinion as to the veracity of information received, nor should any opinions of AlixPartners be regarded as a substitute for an audit opinion which can only be provided by the Group’s auditors.

 

    The Report does not constitute or form part of, and should not be construed as, an offer to sell or issue, or the solicitation of an offer to purchase, subscribe to or acquire, securities of the Company, or an inducement to enter into investment activity in the United States or in any other jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, inducement or sale would be unlawful prior to registration, exemption from registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. No part of the Report nor the fact of its distribution, should form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any contract or commitment or investment decision whatsoever. The Report does not constitute a recommendation regarding any decision to sell or purchase securities in the Company.

 

    Any person who is in any doubt about the subject matter of the Report should consult a duly qualified person. Nothing in the Report should be relied upon in connection with the purchase of any shares, debt participations or other assets.

 

    The statements made in the Report are current as at 21 December 2015 and delivery of the Explanatory Statement should not give rise to any implication that there has not been any change in the information set out in the Explanatory Statement.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

7. As highlighted above, the Group has achieved negligible gross profit margins during FY14 and FY15YTD. The key factors impacting the performance of the Group during this period include the following:

 

    Sales blockages and freezing orders – the imposition of the sales blockages by the PRC authorities in Shenzhen (as set out in the Group’s 21 December 2014 Announcement) and of the freezing orders by various PRC courts in connection with various lawsuits initiated by the Group’s onshore lenders (in Shenzhen and elsewhere in the PRC, see Announcements on 4 April and 10 November 2015, respectively) has resulted in a number of commercial banks suspending the issuance of personal mortgage loans to purchasers of substantially all of the Group’s properties (thereby impacting the Group’s ability to sell units).

We understand that most of the blockages and freezing orders have as of the date of this Report been lifted/released, though we note a further four projects are subject to blockage/seizure in Shenzhen, in respect of which the Group continues to negotiate with creditors with the aim of resuming sales activity as soon as possible. The historical trading performance of the Group has been materially impacted by the inability to develop and realise the Group’s property asset portfolio. The Group has confirmed that the number of frozen/blocked projects has reduced to 24 as at 1 March 2016 (see paragraph 9 below).

App.5-7


    Market conditions – the Group has experienced difficult market conditions during FY14 and FY15YTD, particularly in respect of projects undertaken in Tier 3 PRC cities, resulting in lower demand for units and a reduction in average selling price (‘ASP’) and gross profit margins. We understand the Group’s future activity will be focused on Tier 1 and 2 PRC cities (see CFF review later in this Report).

 

    Liquidity issues – linked to the above, the Group has sought to generate cash to offset the severe liquidity issues that have arisen over the course of 2015. This has resulted in the disposal of certain property assets in Tier 1, 2 and 3 cities at prices below those typically expected to be achieved under normal market conditions. This has impacted ASP and gross margins.

 

    Resignation of Directors and officers – following the imposition of the sales blockages and freezing orders, the Group suffered a significant number of resignations by key management and personnel (including almost all the finance team and the former CFO), which impacted its ability to operate effectively during the trading period reviewed in this Report.

11. As highlighted, property sales activity has suffered from negligible gross margins throughout the period. This is attributable to the Group-wide factors shown above. The key trends by city Tier are considered in further detail below.

 

12. The profit derived from miscellaneous other activities includes (but is not limited to) rental income from various commercial buildings (FY15YTD revenue: RMB167 million, estimated gross margin 79%) and property management services (FY15YTD revenue: RMB173 million, estimated gross margin 33%).

 

13. The improvement in gross margin from miscellaneous activities in FY15YTD largely relates to an improvement in property management services gross margin (from 10% to 33%), reflecting a change in the sales mix towards the provision of certain higher value added services to tenants across a range of cities.

Property sales activity

 

14. In addition to the Group-wide regulatory, market and liquidity pressures impacting performance noted earlier, the following key trends have arisen in respect of revenue and gross profitability:

Tier 1: There has been a significant decline in the profitability of Tier 1 city projects in FY15YTD (Shenzhen, Shanghai and Guangzhou), though revenue is significantly ahead of FY14 levels. This reflects the absence of new sales within Tier 1 cities, as well as the impact of low margin decoration revenue generated in respect of Shenzhen properties where sales have already been completed. This work is not impacted by the sales blockages and/or freezing orders, though it does distort the underlying Tier 1 revenue and gross margin trends.

Tier 2: There has been negligible revenue and gross profit generated in FY15YTD in comparison to FY14, reflecting the construction status of the Group’s existing projects, with significant Property Under Development (‘PUD’) and Property Held for Sale (‘PHS’) balances that are assumed to be completed/sold after September 2015 (these projects are considered further as part of our review of the Group’s cash flow forecast, see Part 2 of this Report, and also below). The gross profit margin achieved in FY14 largely reflects the successful sale of all projects in Dongguan during the year with virtually no projects undertaken in FY15YTD.

Tier 3: The Group has reduced Tier 3 city activity significantly in FY15YTD. We understand both FY14 and FY15YTD performance were impacted by the adverse market conditions evidenced in Tier 3 cities.

App.5-9


Ping Hu (Shenzhen) and Tong He (Guangzhou) projects: We understand that both of these projects involved the sale of subsidiary companies to third parties. The Group has informed us that it is typical in situations such as this for the Group to recognise the net asset value of the subsidiary as cost of sales (rather than the value of PHS held on the balance sheet). We note the Ping Hu disposal (a hotel project in Shenzhen) generated a gross profit of approximately RMB670 million, which represents a margin of 123% and is attributable to the negative net asset position of the Ping Hu subsidiary and the commercially favourable disposal proceeds agreed by the Group for this asset.

Interest adjustment: The Group’s FY14 gross profit performance includes the reallocation of interest to cost of sales. This is attributed to interest in respect of loans attached to properties sold during the year that has been allocated to the cost of those properties. No corresponding adjustment has been included in FY15YTD in this regard, suggesting a potential change in cost of sales in this period may occur in the future.

Asset impairment provision: The FY14 gross profit is net of an asset impairment provision based upon valuation work undertaken by Savills. The FY15YTD adjustment has been prepared by the Group. We understand a similar methodology has been adopted in this calculation to that used by Savills.

City summary

 

15. The following sets out key trends by city in which the Group operates:

Tier 1 – Shenzhen

 

16. Shenzhen revenue in FY15YTD includes low margin decorating work. Consequently, this results in Shenzhen generating similar revenue in FY15YTD compared to FY14 (despite the sales blockages/freezing orders and the shorter period of account). In reality, this revenue relates to transactions completed in FY14 for which the Group was contractually obliged to complete additional work post-sale. The Group’s performance in Shenzhen is also impacted by the absence of new projects due to the blockage/freezing of Group assets, which would have served to partially offset the adverse gross margin impact of decoration work.

 

17. We understand there has been an increase in FY15YTD ASP, which largely reflects the mix of projects, with only one active project (ignoring decoration revenue) in this period, in comparison to eight projects in FY14.

Tier 1 – Shanghai and Guangzhou

 

18. We understand there has been limited activity in the period of review in respect of these cities, reflecting the number of blocked/frozen projects (five across both cities) and the specific construction progress of the various non-blocked/frozen projects. Approximately 22% of the total Group PUD balance at 30 September 2015 relates to these two cities.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

App.5-10


19. Shanghai is carrying a PUD balance of approximately RMB5.9 billion at 30 September 2015. This largely relates to two projects, neither of which have generated revenue in FY14 or FY15YTD:

 

    Shanghai Kaisa Financial Centre: we understand this project has been halted temporarily due to the Group’s recent liquidity issues.

 

    Shanghai Xiangyi Garden, Phase 1: this project was unfrozen in July 2015 and we understand the Group has, subsequent to the period under review, sold a number of units.

 

20. The Guangzhou projects carry approximately RMB9.9 billion of PUD at 30 September 2015.

Tier 2 cities

 

21. The Group generated significant gross profit from Tier 2 cities during FY14, but negligible gross profit in FY15YTD. We understand this reflects the general timing of the construction, and consequently sales, activity for various projects within these cities (which was weighted towards FY14 rather than FY15YTD), as well as 12 projects blocked/frozen during the period of review (two relate to Chengdu and Changsha, the remainder are across six other cities).

 

22. The majority of the FY14 gross profit is generated from Dongguan and Chengdu.

 

23. The Group is carrying significant PUD balances in respect of Tier 2 cities.

Tier 3 cities

 

24. The Group’s recent financial performance is characterised by a significant reduction in activity within Tier 3 cities.

 

25. The negative gross margin generated by a range of Tier 3 cities (Foshan, Changzhou, Panjin, Yingkou, Zhuhai, and Benxi) in FY14 largely reflects the adverse market conditions, as well as the wider Group liquidity issues, which resulted in the disposal by the Group of properties at discounted prices to enhance liquidity. The performance of these cities offset the positive gross margins in Nanchong, Huizhou, Suizhong and Jiangyin.

 

26. Despite the decline in Tier 3 activity in FY15YTD, the Group still carries significant PHS and PUD balances at 30 September 2015 (representing approximately 40% and 22% of the total Group balances).

Trading performance by property type

 

27. The key points to note in respect of trading performance by property type are as follows:

 

    residential properties constitute the vast majority of revenue in both periods of review, generating a gross loss in FY15YTD (but improved ASP due to a change in mix towards Tier 1 cities); and

 

    local market conditions remain the key driver of performance, regardless of the type of property being developed and sold. For example, car parking projects can vary significantly, dependent on the number of competing service providers in the local area, and the ensuing rental prices in comparison to buying a space within a Group development.

App.5-11


Fair value of investment properties

 

28. The FY14 operating profits of the Group were favourably impacted by an increase in the carrying value of investment properties of RMB535 million (based upon a third party valuation carried out at each year end by Savills, see table in paragraph 6). No such third party valuation was conducted as at 30 September 2015.

Finance costs

 

29. The finance costs incurred in FY14 total RMB1.4 billion. We understand approximately RMB805 million of the total finance cost relates to non-project matters.

 

30. The FY15YTD finance costs relate to interest associated with non-project related debt (see table in paragraph 6). We understand the Group has capitalised unpaid interest payments to its onshore creditors, where those payments relate to specific properties under development. The Group has informed us this accounting treatment is in accordance with Hong Kong financial reporting standards. Due to the current status of the proposed adjustments, there remains the possibility that the reported finance costs for FY15YTD may change as the methodology for the treatment of costs in the management accounts differs to the FY14 treatment, as set out in the proposed adjustments.

32. We have been informed by the Group that the balance sheet presented above incorporates the adjustments it intends, as at the date of this Report, to include in the audited financial statements for FY14 when they are completed (and adjustments have been made on a consistent basis with respect to the balance sheet as at 30 September 2015), including the latest debt position. It is important to note the adjustments have yet to be finalised and that as such there remains the possibility of future change in the financial position of the Group as presented above.

 

33. The remainder of this part of our Report provides commentary in respect of key balance sheet items. We note that we have not been provided with aged analysis of certain working capital balances, most notably accrued construction costs.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

App.5-13


PUD and PHS

 

34. The PUD balance included in the table at paragraph 31 relates to the Group’s work in progress in respect of property construction. Partially completed developments are carried at cost on the balance sheet, with recognition in the profit and loss account upon the transfer of completed units to property owners.

 

35. The PHS balance relates to completed units that the Group has yet to transfer to property owners. Again, these are carried at cost on the balance sheet and recognised in the profit and loss account upon the transfer of completed units to property owners.

 

36. The Group engages external valuers to undertake valuations of PUD and PHS assets only for the interim and full year accounts to recognise current market conditions. That said, DTZ has undertaken an exercise to determine the estimated realizable values of PUD and PHS (and other property based assets on the balance sheet) at 30 September 2015. The difference between the realizable value and the Group’s cost carrying value is considered in paragraphs 55 to 58 below.

 

37. As noted earlier, the majority of the latest PUD and PHS balances relate to Tier 1 and 2 city projects, in accordance with the Group’s stated strategic aim. Despite this, there remains a significant balance relating to Tier 3 cities (PUD: 22% of total, PHS: 40%) which have suffered from a reduction in market demand during the period of review. This significant balance increases the risk of a reduction in future profitability.

 

38. We understand that the Group typically accrues interest charges relating to finance costs associated with property developments. We understand that the FY14 accrued interest has been capitalised and allocated to the specific property assets by city tier following the proposed adjustments. The Group is awaiting completion of the FY14 audit before reflecting this adjustment at 30 September 2015.

 

39. The PUD and PHS balances presented in the table at paragraph 31 are shown net of an asset impairment provision. The provision as at 30 September 2015 represents the Group’s estimate of the realizable value of these assets based upon the latest trading information (the December 2014 provision is based on Savills’ valuation work).

 

40. The increase in PUD between December 2014 and September 2015 reflects the sales blockages and freezing orders, which has delayed the transfer of the PUD balance to PHS for sale.

Other current asset categories

 

41. The following is noted in respect of other current asset categories:

Debtors, deposits and other receivables

 

42. This balance largely represents a range of other project related receivables and prepaid taxes.

Land deposits

 

43. This balance relates to acquired land where the Group await provision of the relevant land use license and construction permits. The balance is broadly calculated based upon the amount paid for the land.

 

44. The increase in the land deposits balance between 31 December 2014 and 30 September 2015 reflects an increase in the value of land held in respect of a joint venture with Funde Sino Life in Shenzhen of approximately RMB1.38 billion.

App.5-14


Prepayments for proposed development projects

 

45. This balance relates largely to advance payments in respect of projects in Shenzhen. Of the total balance of RMB10.2 billion at 30 September 2015, approximately RMB7.2 billion relates to existing or proposed Urban Redevelopment Projects (‘URP’), whereby the Group has acquired land from the inhabitants with the aim of redeveloping older neighborhoods.

 

46. These projects typically have longer lead times than other residential property developments due to the need to negotiate with existing inhabitants regarding relocation and the more extensive license requirements. However, they are potentially more profitable than the Group’s traditional developments as the land is typically acquired at competitive rates and appreciates over time. We understand the prepayments relate to co-operation, relocation costs, etc, that are necessary to secure the land and the projects generally.

Restricted cash

 

47. The Group is unable to distribute restricted cash.

Current liabilities

 

48. The following is noted in respect of the major current liabilities of the Group:

Customer deposits

 

49. Customer deposits are paid at the pre-sale stage of development, though the exact timing varies on a city by city basis.

 

50. The composition of this balance is broadly consistent with the PUD and PHS asset categories.

Borrowings

 

51. The total debt balance includes onshore and offshore borrowings and totals approximately RMB65 billion as at 31 December 2014. This comprises non-current borrowings (RMB61 billion), current borrowings (RMB2 billion) and related party loans (RMB2 billion) on the Group’s balance sheet (see paragraph 31). The offshore borrowings are made up of the Existing High Yield Notes, the Convertible Bonds, and the existing offshore loans.

Related party loans

 

52. This balance relates to loans provided by Funde Sino Life.

Accrued construction costs

 

53. The Group does not produce account aging analyses that would demonstrate the extent, if any, of overdue construction liabilities. The balance contains a greater proportion of Tier 3 liabilities than other balance sheet categories. We understand this reflects greater progress in unblocking and unfreezing projects in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities and the prioritisation of Tier 1 and 2 suppliers at the expense of Tier 3.

App.5-15


Other payables

 

54. The increase in the other payables balance over the period is attributed to the accrued interest due to offshore creditors, as well as a loan due to a third party which we understand is non-interest bearing and has no contractual repayment date.

DTZ valuation

 

55. The table below sets out the value attributed by DTZ to the Group’s property assets (based upon the completed desktop valuation work that was made available to us on 26 January 2016), in comparison to the latest carrying value of property assets per the 30 September 2015 balance sheet:

56. The balance sheet items included in the above table are PUD (RMB70.3 billion), PHS (RMB11.2 billion), investment properties (RMB10.9 billion) and property (RMB0.8 billion, included in the Other Assets category). As highlighted, the valuation suggests a shortfall in the market value of the assets in comparison to balance sheet carrying value (approximately RMB23 billion).

 

57. In the time available, we have undertaken discussions with both DTZ and the Group in order to understand the approach adopted to the valuation exercise and the total valuation differences arising. The key points to note in this regard are as follows:

 

    Site visits: At the time of writing, DTZ had yet to complete site visits in respect of a sample of the projects undertaken by the Group. As such, the valuation provided above represents a ‘desktop’ valuation only and this Report is unable to consider the key findings arising from the site visit work.

 

    Construction costs: The DTZ valuation uses the latest construction cost information provided by the Group as at 30 September 2015 (this is net of the asset impairment provision discussed earlier). For PUD balances, this is augmented by costs to complete (not only construction but other ancillary costs such as taxes, professional fees etc), such that DTZ can generate an estimate gross residual selling value for the Group’s property assets assuming all projects are completed.

App.5-16


    Stage of completion valuation: For PUD balances, the fully completed selling value is used as a basis to determine the residual market value achievable on a partial completion basis (i.e. assuming no further costs are incurred and the property is sold in its current state of construction). DTZ estimate the partial completion value as follows:

 

    a deduction is made from the completed selling value for the estimated finance cost for the project (which is capitalized as part of the PUD work in progress balance); and

 

    a further deduction is undertaken to reflect the discount a prospective purchaser would apply due to the partial stage of project completion (in essence this represents a future profit margin for the purchaser upon completion and disposal of the project; the profit margin is estimated by each project based upon a range of factors but generally varies between 5% and 20% of the completed residual value, net of completion costs).

 

    Valuation difference: Based upon discussions with DTZ, we understand the principal driver of the difference between the carrying value of the Group’s property assets per the 30 September balance sheet and the DTZ valuation is attributable to DTZ’s lower residual valuation of completed projects. This is in comparison to that which is essentially assumed by Management as part of the information provided by them to DTZ to estimate the total value of completed PUD projects, which does not include a comparable asset impairment provision to reflect current market conditions (neither in terms of costs to date or to complete PUD).

 

58. We consider the impact of this valuation shortfall further within Part 2 of this Report.

PART 2 – CASH FLOW FORECAST (‘CFF’) REVIEW

 

59. In accordance with the agreed scope of work, AlixPartners has undertaken a high level review of the forecast cash generation of the Group for the forecast period ending 31 December 2020.

 

60. We refer the reader to the Limitations of Scope included in paragraph 5 of this Report, certain of which are specifically relevant to our review of the CFF.

Basis of preparation

 

61. The following is noted as context in respect of the basis of preparation of the CFF:

 

    the CFF model has been prepared by Houlihan;

 

    the CFF model is prepared using Microsoft Excel;

 

    the CFF is prepared on a month by month basis, commencing 1 August 2015 and ending 31 December 2020. The five annual periods ending 31 December are hereafter referred to as the years ending FYXX. We have been informed by the Group that the actual unrestricted cash position at 31 December 2015 is ahead of that set out in the forecast (actual unrestricted cash position of RMB3.2 billion versus forecast cash position of RMB1.6 billion);

 

    the CFF is a standalone consolidating cash forecast only, and excludes balance sheet and income statements for the Group in the forecast period;

 

    the CFF has been compiled on a project by project basis, based upon input from regional sales and marketing teams involved in day to day operations (the CFF thereby benefits from local knowledge in respect of market conditions for the assumed forecast projects); and

 

    we understand the Group has undertaken a high level analytical review of the outputs of the CFF, and conducted a more detailed review of approximately 20 of the larger projects in the CFF (including an assessment of the net cash margin being generated by project, to ensure this is in line with their expectations).

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

Summary of CFF

 

62. The table below summarises the Group’s CFF for the period 1 August 2015 to 31 December 2020 assuming the offshore loans and 100% of the HY note holders elect HY consideration and 100% of the Convertible Bondholders (‘CB’) elect CB consideration. This also assumes that 100% of HY note holders elect additional New HY Notes as oppose to Contingent Value Rights (‘CVRs’).

63. We note the following in respect of the CFF:

 

    Project cash inflows: Over 70% of forecast cash inflows relate to URP or Tier 1 city developments (though URP cash generation is largely concentrated towards FY18 and beyond). Tier 3 projects are forecast to generate 10% of total cash inflows, reflecting the strategic shift away from these cities towards Tiers 1 and 2.

Cash in transit: Cash inflows from August 2015 to early FY16 benefit from the receipt of cash in transit that had been trapped due to the sales blockages and freezing orders (see paragraphs 76 to 78 below).

 

    Project cash outflows: The majority of outflows relate to project specific construction costs (RMB61 billion), taxes (RMB17 billion) and URP expenditure (RMB16.5 billion). There is material URP expenditure forecast during Q1 FY16 in order to secure sites (approximately RMB7.0 billion), though this is partially funded via assumed external financing (see below).

Non-operating items: The Group’s net cash generation in August to December 2015 and FY16 is partially reliant upon the disposal of the Dongguan project in 2015 and the net proceeds from one-off PUD and IP disposals in FY16.

 

    New debt funding: The Group is required to obtain new debt funding to ensure it can meet its onshore obligations as they fall due in FY16 (this includes unencumbered asset financing, a new unsecured Revolving Credit Facility (‘RCF’) and URP financing).

 

    We understand China CITIC Bank Corporation Limited and CITIC Trust Co., Ltd (‘CITIC’) recently committed approximately RMB17 billion financing facilities to the Group. We understand that CITIC have provided funding of RMB3.3 billion to the Group, in addition to the aforementioned facilities (see paragraph 141 below).

 

    Further, we understand that the Group has recently entered into a framework agreement with Ping An Bank in respect of a RMB50 billion strategic co-operation to fund URP.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

App.5-19


    Onshore debt service: The majority of the RMB47.5 billion of onshore debt service costs occurs between FY16 and FY18.

 

    Offshore debt service: In accordance with the RSA provided to offshore creditors, the cash interest payments are due to commence in FY17. The Group is forecast to be generating sufficient free cash from operations and other financing to service its obligations to note holders from FY17 onwards.

 

    Minimum cash position: Whilst not presented in the above summary, the lowest Group unrestricted cash position occurs in October and November 2015 (RMB52 million), and does not fall below RMB300 million thereafter (the RCF is assumed to be drawn to mitigate cash shortfalls beyond this point). Houlihan has provided us with a liquidity report, which shows that the actual cash balance for October 2015 was significantly higher than forecast (RMB249 million).

App.5-20


Key assumptions

 

64. The key assumptions adopted in the forecast are:

Sales blockage and freezing orders

 

65. The CFF model assumes all sales blockages and freezing orders will be released by September 2015, representing the best estimate at the time of preparation of the CFF. As noted in Part 1, paragraph 8 of this Report, at 30 September 2015 there were approximately 35 projects blocked/frozen across a range of Tier 1, 2 and 3 cities. The Group has now confirmed that the number of blocked/frozen projects is now 24 at 1 March 2016. We understand certain creditors have filed motions to withdraw the relevant litigation in respect of the Group, enabling the Group to resume sales in certain regions, though delays have been experienced in other key cities such as Shenzhen (see earlier narrative regarding the four projects recently subjected to blockage).

 

66. Given the nature of the sales blockages/freezing orders and the reliance on external factors beyond the Group’s control, it is difficult to conclude with any certainty the timescales for the reversal of sales restrictions. These require bilateral negotiations with each onshore lender, the resolution of inter-creditor arrangements for multi-bank projects and a legal process to withdraw all pending litigation.

 

67. We consider this further within our assessment of risks, sensitivities and upsides schedule later in this Report, though note that the Group considers the cash impact of ongoing delays in the reversal of sales blockages and freezing orders to be low. It is their opinion that this will likely result in a short term timing delay only as cash outflows to secured lenders are linked to the ultimate sale of completed units in any given development. As such, the net cash impact to the Group is likely to be negligible. We understand other creditor payments will also be deferred in the event that material excess cash that would ordinarily be released from these projects for wider liquidity purposes, did not become available due to the continued sales blockage.

ASP

 

68. This represents one of two key drivers of project cash inflows and is dependent upon the local market characteristics of the city, its Tier status, the nature of the property being developed, specific construction complexities that may exist, location of the development and other relevant factors.

 

69. The forecast ASP is derived from detailed unit and phase-level assumptions at each project based upon the input of the regional sales and marketing teams. We understand the CFF has not been compiled by reference to the historical ASP achieved by Tier, as it is expected that there will be limited correlation between historical ASP and that achievable in the future (which is itself governed by a range of factors within any given city).

 

70. The Group has informed us that they believe the ASP assumptions in the CFF to be achievable. We note the overall Group ASP is forecast to increase materially over the period.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

App.5-21


Absorption rates

 

71. The other principal driver of forecast cash inflows from projects is the assumed absorption rate. This represents the projected volume of square metres sold in a given period and has been compiled on a project by project basis.

 

72. In forecasting absorption rates we understand the Group has used data in respect of construction progress, unsold saleable area, the anticipated timing of pre-sale permits and specific local market factors.

Cash collection

 

73. The CFF assumes cash collected from completed sales starts in the month in which the sale and purchase agreement is signed and a customer is irrevocably committed to the purchase.

 

74. We understand that cash collection timings can vary by city and project, though typically occurs over three months, with 40% collected in the month the sale is completed and 30% in each of the following two months thereafter.

 

75. The CFF model includes functionality that allows flexing of this assumption (for example, to include an assumed rate of customer default, which has not been assumed within the base case assumptions).

Cash in transit

 

76. The CFF includes an estimated a cash in transit balance of approximately RMB4.1 billion in the CFF as at 1 August 2015. This balance partially relates to cash yet to be collected from completed sales of units/properties at the point at which the Group was subjected to sales blockages/freezing orders due to restrictions on mortgage funds and uncertainty caused by the Group’s situation.

 

77. It is assumed this cash is collected over a four month period from 1 October 2015 onwards (from the point at which all sales blockages/freezing orders are assumed to have been reversed).

 

78. Houlihan has advised us that the Group is unable to provide a reconciliation to actual cash balance which isolates the receipt of cash in transit.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

App.5-22


Investment properties

 

79. The CFF forecasts the disposal of eight investment properties during the forecast period (gross proceeds RMB3.5 billion, net proceeds RMB1.0 billion). These are predominantly shopping malls from which the Group generates rental income.

 

80. The CFF assumes these properties are sold during 2015, 2016 and 2017 (the first occurring during December 2015), and that the sales proceeds are sufficient to discharge associated secured debt.

Construction payments

 

81. For consistency with the forecast cash inflow assumptions, anticipated future construction payments have also been forecast on a project by project basis by local management.

 

82. In assessing construction costs in the immediate forecast period, we understand Houlihan considered the Group’s latest accrued construction costs liability.

 

83. The CFF assumes material payments are required in the period up to 31 March 2016 in order to unwind arrears that have built up during 2015.

 

84. Due to the absence of an aged creditors’ analysis it is not possible to consider the extent to which the CFF unwinds the opening accrued construction costs position.

Land payments (excluding URP)

 

85. The CFF forecasts land payments on a project by project basis based upon information provided by the local management teams.

URP expenditure

 

86. As noted in Part 1, paragraphs 45 and 46 of this Report, URP prepare disused or undesirable land in urban areas for new construction projects.

 

87. We understand a significant proportion of future property development in Shenzhen will likely take the form of URP given the limited land resources in the city.

 

88. The Group is involved in the negotiation, relocation and compensation for relocation of targets from an early stage.

 

89. We have been informed by Houlihan that the Group will be required to make significant payments to resettle inhabitants and in respect of land premiums payable to local governments to secure the land for these projects (which are key to the future cash generation of the Group). The CFF assumes material payments in Q2 FY16 of approximately RMB5.3 billion in respect of two projects (URP08 and URP02, in Guangzhou and Shenzhen respectively). These payments have been deferred by the Group based upon their latest discussions with local government.

 

90. Each of the URP included in the CFF is an early stage project where construction has yet to commence. Forecast cash outflows have been based on the latest development plans prepared by the Group.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

App.5-23


91. The CFF includes 31 URP. Of these, seven are assumed to incur construction costs and subsequently generate cash inflows from completed units (approximately RMB18 billion net cash inflow over the period of review). The remainder incur cash outflows (approximately RMB3.2 billion net cash outflow up until 2020) in respect of securing the projects and the land, with the expectation that construction costs will be incurred in 2021 and beyond.

 

92. The Group’s focus on URP in the forecast period is attributable to the likely medium term trend towards such projects (particularly given the scarcity of land in Shenzhen), the potentially strong profit margins available from this category of work, as well as the Group’s pre-eminent position in the Shenzhen market.

Overheads and taxes

 

93. The following key assumptions are noted in respect of overheads and taxes:

 

    Selling expenses: The CFF assumes a forecast sales expense of approximately 2-5% of total sales proceeds (this figure varies by project and city).

 

    Project level General & Administrative expenses (G&A): This is again estimated by local management on a project by project basis, increased at 5% per annum. This expenditure is only incurred if current or future construction activity is contemplated.

 

    Forecast project taxes: The CFF model assumes business tax at 5.65% of sales per annum, land value added tax at 3% of sales per annum and income tax at 25% per annum.

 

    Past due taxes: The CFF model assumes settlement of past due taxes of approximately RMB1.2 billion. These are assumed to be paid over a 12 month period commencing January 2016, though we understand no formal payment plan is in place with the Chinese tax authorities.

 

    Corporate G&A: This has been forecast at approximately RMB1.2 billion over the forecast period based on the cost as at July 2015 (increased at 5% per annum).

One-off items

 

94. The following key assumptions are noted in respect of one off items:

 

    Dongguan: The Group announced in Q2 2015 that an agreement had been reached for the disposal of a project in Dongguan for approximately RMB1.3 billion, with the proceeds forecast to be received during December 2015. We understand a transaction to repurchase this project is in progress.

 

    Disposal of clubhouses: The Group owns a number of facilities attached to residential developments that are forecast to be sold during the first 17 months of the forecast period (total proceeds RMB72 million).

 

    Transaction fees: The CFF model includes approximately RMB230 million in relation to advisor and other fees arising from the proposed restructuring.

 

    Future PUD disposals: The CFF assumes approximately RMB4.73 billion of cash inflows (net proceeds RMB2.47 billion) in respect of the disposal of PUD in Tier 3 cities. The debt associated with each disposal is assumed to be transferred to the purchaser. The significant majority of these PUD disposals are sold at a value lower than their respective carrying value, reflecting the view that these PUDs are unlikely to be profitable and should be disposed of.

App.5-24


Onshore debt

 

95. The onshore debt is assumed to be secured against specific project assets and guaranteed by the Group (save for approximately RMB1 billion of corporate debt).

 

96. We understand one of the terms of the onshore restructuring is that any positive cash generated by the individual projects is earmarked for repayment to the onshore lenders. The mechanics of the model reflect this commercial arrangement.

 

97. In the event a project does not generate sufficient cash to discharge onshore debt obligations, the CFF model assumes Group wide surplus funds are used to make up the shortfall (being excess funds from other projects, one-off income, etc.) reflecting the guarantee provisions in place. We understand Houlihan have reviewed a sample of onshore debt loan documents to confirm this guarantee exists.

 

98. The CFF assumes onshore debt is repaid at maturity, or earlier if project cash flows allow.

 

99. We have prepared a reconciliation of the onshore (and offshore) debt position, which is presented later in this Part of our Report.

Offshore debt

 

100. The disclosure set out below (paragraph 101) has been provided to us by Houlihan in its role as lead financial advisor. We understand the below represents the latest proposed restructuring terms for offshore creditors per the RSA.

 

101. The restructuring terms contemplate no impairment of the principal of offshore debts and upside sharing in the form of the Contingent Value Rights (‘CVRs’) (for those allocated the New High Yield Notes (‘New HY Notes’)) and a reduced conversion price (for those allocated the Exchange Convertible Bonds (‘Exchange CBs’)). The key terms of the restructuring are:

 

  i. Each holder of offshore debt (‘Scheme Creditor’) who participates in the proposed scheme of arrangement (‘Scheme’) will be entitled to elect one of the following options for the treatment of its Scheme claims (‘Scheme Claims’):

 

  (a) Option 1 – New HY Notes and CVRs

Exchange some or all of their claims for:

 

  (i) New HY Notes at an exchange ratio of 1.00000x (e.g., $1,000 of claims equal to $1,000.00 in New HY Notes) with new principal amounts, new maturity dates and new interest coupon schedules; and

 

  (ii) CVRs, separately tradable as a single instrument, which will provide upside sharing in the event that one or more trigger events occur.

 

  (b) Option 2 – New HY Notes only

Exchange some or all of their claims for New HY Notes at an exchange ratio of 1.02598x (e.g., $1,000 of claims equal to $1,025.98 in New HY Notes) with new principal amounts, new maturity dates and new interest coupon schedules.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

App.5-25


  (c) Option 3 – Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds

Exchange some or all of their claims for Mandatorily Exchangeable Bonds (‘MEB’) at an exchange ratio of 1.00000x (e.g., $1,000 of claims equal to $1,000.00 in MEB subject to the cut-back mechanism described below in the event the MEB election amount exceeds the maximum MEB amount). The MEB will be automatically exchanged for Exchange CBs on the satisfaction of certain conditions as detailed in the RSA.

 

  (d) Cut-Back Mechanism

On the exchange date, if the MEB election amount is greater than the maximum MEB amount, then:

 

  (i) any claim that is to be exchanged for MEB pursuant to an election for Option 3 shall be exchanged for MEB with a principal amount equal to the product of the amount of such claims, multiplied by the quotient of the maximum MEB amount, divided by the MEB election amount; and

 

  (ii) the portion of claims electing Option 3 that were not exchanged for MEB pursuant to the preceding sub-paragraph (i) (‘Residual Claims’) shall be exchanged for:

 

  (A) New HY Notes and CVRs (Option 1); or

 

  (B) New HY Notes only (Option 2),

102. The CFF assumes that the accrued loan interest included on the balance sheet as at 30 September 2015 will be capitalised as principal of the new loans after the restructuring.

New debt funding

 

103. The CFF assumes new debt funding in respect of the following:

 

    Unencumbered assets: We understand the Group was negotiating with various onshore lenders in respect of additional debt funding for unencumbered projects prior to the implementation of the sales blockages/freezing orders.

 

    Unsecured RCF: A new unsecured RCF is included in the CFF. This is forecast to mitigate a cash shortfall at various points in the CFF and a minimum cash balance of RMB300 million is assumed to be maintained throughout the forecast period. The maximum cash shortfall (including restricted cash) in this regard occurs in March 2019 (approximately RMB6.8 billion). The facility is assumed to incur interest at 10% per annum and have a zero balance at the end of the forecast period.

 

    URP financing: The CFF includes additional funding for approximately 50% of the construction costs of URP. This funding is priced at 1.3x PBOC rates, with an assumed draw down on the pre-sale start date of the project, amortised over 12 months following completion of a 12 month pre-sale period. The forecast funding in the period of review amounts to RMB11.2 billion, of which RMB6.8 billion is assumed to be repaid by 31 December 2020.

 

104. Subsequent to the CFF being produced, CITIC committed approximately RMB17 billion financing facilities to the Group, and Ping An Bank committed RMB50 billion pursuant to a strategic cooperation agreement which will be used to fund URP. We also refer the reader to paragraph 141 for further information in respect of the latest debt funding position.

App.5-27


Restricted cash

 

105. The CFF model assumes approximately 10% of all free cash flow generated by the Group (after debt obligations due in the period have been discharged) is held in a restricted account. This is subject to a floor of RMB1 billion.

 

106. The CFF has not been constructed to reflect the specific local government regulations, which we understand differ from region to region. Rather, we understand the Group has reviewed historical financial information and concluded that restricted cash has not historically exceeded 10% of total cash and does not typically fall below RMB1 billion.

Foreign exchange

 

107. The CFF is denominated in RMB. This is the principal currency used by the Group to trade on a day to day basis.

 

108. There are elements of the offshore debt that is denominated and serviced in US$. The CFF assumes constant exchange rates based upon the latest spot rates at the time of preparation and approval. This is discussed in further detail in the Schedule, Risks, Upsides and Sensitivities.

Work performed

 

109. The following provides a summary of the work we have undertaken in respect of the key aspects of the CFF. This work has given rise to the identified Risks, Upsides and Sensitivities set out in the Schedule to this Report, and we refer readers to this Schedule in order that they can fully consider the inherent forecast downsides and upsides impacting the Group.

Basis of preparation, functionality and accuracy of input

 

110. In conjunction with Houlihan, we have conducted a high level review of the basis of preparation, workings and functionality of the CFF model prepared by Houlihan using trading assumptions provided by the Group. This has included the following:

 

    Basis of preparation: As noted earlier, ordinarily we would expect a business of this size and breadth to be capable of producing an integrated financial model that demonstrates the anticipated financial performance and position, as well as cash generation of the Group, over a specified future period. In this instance, the issues in respect of the FY14 audit, the loss of key staff and the absence of routine monthly/quarterly consolidated management accounts information means that this ‘typical’ approach cannot be followed. Whilst we acknowledge the conditions under which Houlihan has prepared the CFF model, the basis of preparation in this regard does result in the forecast cash generation analysis being less robust than is typically the case in situations such as this. The conclusions drawn by the stakeholders of the Group (particularly lenders) should be formed with this in mind.

 

    Functionality of the CFF model: We have undertaken a high level review of the functionality of the CFF model in conjunction with Houlihan. This has included Houlihan providing us with a ‘walkthrough’ of the model and its principal functionality. Our work has not identified any material errors, inaccuracies or issues in respect of the functionality of the model from which the forecast cash generation of the Group is derived.

 

    Accuracy of input: As noted earlier, the project cash flows upon which the future operating cash generation of the Group is based, has been derived from project specific assumptions. In order to provide comfort that this information has been correctly incorporated into the CFF model, we have conducted the following work:

App.5-28


    for 10 projects (of 125), being those with the largest saleable gross floor area, cost of land and construction costs, we have cross referenced the data contained within the CFF model to the original project input sheets supplied by the Group (the data checked included absorption rates, ASP, construction costs and tax); and

 

    for 12 projects (of 125), being those with the largest positive/negative cash flows in the forecast period (this ensured coverage of the majority of the URP in the CFF model), we have again cross referenced the data contained within the CFF model to the original project input sheets supplied by the Group to ensure consistency between the two sources.

 

111. No material errors were noted in the cross referencing exercise undertaken.

Sales blockages and freezing orders

 

112. The Group and Houlihan are of the opinion this represents a short term timing delay only, and that further unanticipated delay will have minimal impact on forecast cash flows between August and December 2015 and in FY16.

 

113. At the time of writing, we understand there is no material change in the sales blockage and freezing order position from that presented earlier in this Report.

ASP

 

114. We have undertaken a high level illustrative comparison of the historical ASP achieved by the Group (based upon the information made available to us) and that assumed in the CFF at December 2015.

 

115. This has been undertaken on a city tier basis (with particular focus on Tier 1 given that this category provides a significant proportion of operating cash flows). As noted earlier, the key driver of the forecast increase in ASP is the change in mix towards Tier 1 cities (and intra-tier city mix). We note that within the Tier 1 category, both Shenzhen and Shanghai are assumed to grow significantly over the forecast period. By way of example, Shenzhen projects broadly increase from an ASP of approximately RMB20,000 in FY14 and FY15YTD, to an average of approximately RMB30,000 between FY16 and FY20.

 

116. We also note growth in the ASP across various Tier 2 cities, though this is less material in the context of the Group’s CFF (as highlighted in the table earlier).

 

117. Whilst we acknowledge that the specific mix of projects and properties at any given point in time can impact the ASP achieved, the forecast assumptions do appear to result in a notable change in the future ASP of the Group in certain key cities, which evidently increases forecast risk.

Absorption rates and cash collection periods

 

118. As noted in the limitations of scope at paragraph 5 earlier, the Group does not maintain data in respect of historical absorption rates or cash collection that can be readily used to determine the accuracy of the assumptions included in the CFF.

 

119. Consequently, we have been unable to undertake any meaningful work in respect of these assumptions. However, we have sought to consider the impact of alternative cash collection periods to understand the impact of changes in the base case assumption.

App.5-29


120. Changes to the timing of cash receipts (i.e. assuming 30% in month one and 40% in month two, the opposite of the current assumption) have no permanent impact on cash generation or consequences for debt repayment as free cash is only paid to lenders at the point it is generated by a project.

 

121. Making an assumption that certain bad debts will arise and will not be collected does impact operating cash flow, however the Group and Houlihan consider that any overall cash generation impact would be immaterial.

Cash in transit

 

122. We understand the Group is unable to produce cash flow data that isolates the extent to which the opening cash in transit balance of RMB4.1 billion has been collected from 1 October 2015 onwards.

 

123. Consequently, we have been unable to verify the extent of cash leakage in respect of the assumed cash in transit balance.

Other project cash flow work

 

124. As noted earlier, the CFF does not unwind an opening balance sheet position in respect of PUD, PHS, prepayments for URP, land deposits and accrued construction costs.

 

125. However, as a means of verifying the robustness and accuracy of the project cash flows, we have used the historical balance sheet data made available to us to:

 

    cross reference the significant projects included in the CFF to the latest available PUD and PHS information at 30 September 2015, as a means of ensuring that there is consistency between historical and forecast project information;

 

    cross reference the significant forecast land payments to those provided to us as outstanding at 30 September 2015;

 

    cross reference the major accrued construction cost liabilities as at 30 September 2015 to ensure that there is a correlation to the payments set out in the CFF (though we are unable to consider the extent to which the CFF unwinds overdue amounts at 30 September 2015);

 

    estimate the cash margin generated by 10 of the largest projects (the 10 selected are the largest in terms of net operating cash generation, representing over 50% of forecast net operating cash flows, the majority of these projects being in respect of Tier 1 cities) based upon the forecast cash inflows and outflows, as well as the closing PUD and PHS balances at 30 September 2015; and

 

    replicate the above for Tier 3 city projects, with the expectation that the majority of these would be generating estimated cash margin losses given the findings of our work in earlier on historical trading performance.

 

126. The cross reference work undertaken above did not result in any material variances or omissions between the source data and the CFF.

App.5-30


Top 10 cash generative projects

 

127. Many of the top 10 cash generative projects are still in the construction phase, meaning that historical revenue and profitability trends are unavailable. However, for those projects which have recorded sales in FY14 and FY15YTD we have sought to compare the estimated ‘cash margin’, discussed above, to historic gross profit margins.

 

128. In all cases, the forecast cash margin is significantly higher than the total FY14 and FY15YTD profit margin. Whilst this can in part be explained by the differing basis of preparation and changes in the sales mix, it also indicates the forecast improvement in project profitability.

 

129. The most significant of the top 10 projects, Shenzhen Kaisa City Plaza, is projected to generate in excess of RMB11 billion net operating cash during the forecast period, at an estimated cash margin of 26%. This is approximately double the gross profit margin achieved in FY14 and FY15YTD (albeit a gross profit margin of 35% was achieved in FY14 prior to the events of FY15YTD discussed earlier, which have negatively impacted sales).

Tier 3 projects

 

130. Tier 3 projects generate only RMB1.5 billion net operating cash inflows (approximately 2% of total net operating cash flow generated). The cash flows generated by Tier 3 projects tail off markedly throughout the forecast period as the Group shifts its focus to Tier 1 and Tier 2 projects, as previously noted.

 

131. We have attempted to assess the forecast margin for each of the Tier 3 projects on the same basis as the top 10 projects above. Whilst this results in significant variances between projects on an individual basis, principally as a result of the contrasting basis of preparation, the overall trend shows that Tier 3 projects continue to be marginally unprofitable at a gross profit and cash margin level.

DTZ valuation work (30 September 2015 balance sheet)

 

132. As noted in Part 1 of this Report, DTZ has recently updated its desktop valuation work. The outcome of this work suggests a material shortfall in the potential market value of the Group’s property assets in comparison to the balance sheet carrying value at 30 September 2015. Houlihan is of the opinion that this shortfall in the value ascribed to projects by DTZ will have no effect on the estimated cash inflows set out in the CFF due to the differing bases of preparation (the CFF does not utilise the latest balance sheet information to determine future cash generation, rather it is based on the Group’s latest view of cash inflows in the context of the Group’s assessment of current market conditions).

 

133. We acknowledge Houlihan’s view in respect of the impact of the DTZ valuation on the CFF. However, we note DTZ believes the difference in value is attributable to a difference in DTZ’s and the Group’s view as to the future market values of property assets. This suggests the estimated project cash inflows in the CFF may also be overstated, with DTZ adopting a more pessimistic view of future market conditions. As such, it is our opinion that the valuation shortfall increases the risk of forecast project cash inflows being achieved. We consider this further within the attached Schedule, Risks, Upsides and Sensitivities.

App.5-31


URP

 

134. As highlighted earlier, URP represent a key area of focus for the Group in the forecast period of review, generating material cash inflows from ‘pipeline’ projects.

 

135. There is no third party evidence available at this point to verify the assumptions contained within the CFF (for example, the Group’s ability to defer the material FY16 payments without endangering their ability to secure URP08 and URP02).

 

136. As an alternative, we have compared the forecast URP with the latest prepayments balance at 30 September 2015. Our analysis highlighted:

 

    of the seven URP generating cash inflows in the period of review, five had prepayments for land, co-operation etc as at 30 September 2015 (including two, of the five identified, that are forecast to generate cash inflows from FY17 onwards);

 

    whilst excluded from the prepayments balance, the remaining two projects (URP05 and URP06) are not forecast to generate cash inflows until FY19 and beyond; and

 

    of the 24 other URP that are forecast to incur cash outflows only, there is approximately RMB4.1 billion of prepayments as at 30 September 2015 (relating to 23 of these 24 projects).

 

137. The timing and quantum of URP carries significant risk for all stakeholders given the existing status of these projects.

Taxes

 

138. The tax rates used in the CFF appear reasonable based upon our understanding of the current Chinese taxation regime.

 

139. We have been provided with a detailed schedule by Houlihan, which shows the total overdue taxes of RMB1.2 billion split by individual project.

One-off items

 

140. We have undertaken the following in respect of the one-off items included in the CFF:

 

    Dongguan disposal: We requested an update from the Group and Houlihan as to the latest position. We understand there has been no material change that would require an update to the CFF assumptions as the provisional repurchase agreement for this asset has not yet been finalised, though we note receipt of the balance of sales proceeds would appear unlikely.

 

    Friendly foreclosures: We requested an update from the Group and Houlihan as to the latest position. We understand there has been no material change that would require an update to the CFF assumptions.

 

    PUD asset disposals: We have compared the gross asset disposal value forecast by the CFF to the combined PUD and PHS balance held on the Group’s balance sheet as at 30 September 2015 for each disposal. Reflecting the Group’s decision to dispose of these assets, the majority of the sales projected are at a value lower than the carrying value on the Group’s balance sheet as at 30 September 2015.

App.5-32


New debt funding

 

141. We have undertaken discussions with the Group and Houlihan in respect of the latest position regarding new debt funding assumed in the CFF:

 

    Positive onshore debt funding variance – we have been informed that the Group has generated cash inflows approximately RMB4.2 billion in excess of those assumed in the CFF during the period August 2015 to December 2015. We understand a significant element of this positive variance relates to debt funding raised from CITIC, with approximately RMB3.3 billion raised over and above that assumed in the CFF. As a result of this, the Group’s new debt funding requirement is (at the time of writing) less acute than has been assumed in the CFF.

 

    Unencumbered asset funding: Whilst no formal agreement is in place with lenders in this regard (the CFF assumed the funds would be available by March 2016), we understand that these negotiations can easily be restarted such that a revised target date of September 2016 is achieved (the positive onshore debt funding variance above ensures that slippage in the forecast target date is manageable based on our discussions with Houlihan).

 

    URP financing and unsecured RCF: Again, no corroborative evidence is available in this regard to support the ability of the Group to mitigate the potential cash shortfalls throughout the forecast period via an RCF. An RCF has been assumed in the CFF for ease of modelling, though in reality we understand the Group will consider a range of debt funding structures to provide the Group with sufficient future liquidity. As stated above, we understand from the Group that CITIC recently committed approximately RMB17 billion financing to the Group. In addition, in respect of URP funding, Ping An Bank has committed to a RMB50 billion facility pursuant to a strategic co-operation agreement to finance the development of URP.

 

    The forecast interest and maturity assumptions in respect of this new funding appear broadly reasonable based upon latest market trends.

SCHEDULE TO THE REPORT

RISKS, UPSIDES AND SENSITIVITIES

Introduction

 

1. As stated in Part 2 of our Report, and in accordance with the agreed scope of work, AlixPartners has considered the key risks, upsides and sensitivities that may impact achievement of the Group’s CFF for the period ending 31 December 2020.

AlixPartners’ assessment of risks, upsides and sensitivities

 

2. We have identified the following key risks based upon our high level analytical review of the CFF (note our identified risks relate specifically to the CFF, with the Group’s/Houlihan’s assessment of additional key risks in respect of the wider market and economic factors, as well as potential upside opportunities, presented later in this Report). The Group and Houlihan concur with the risks presented below:

Timing of restructuring

 

3. The timing of an agreed restructuring position is critical to the lifting of restrictions/blockages/freezing orders on project sales, which in turn may return the Group to a normal trading position.

 

4. In addition, the existing agreed arrangement with onshore lenders is not conditional upon agreement of a satisfactory compromise position with offshore lenders (which at the time of writing has yet to be finalised).

 

5. Delay in either of the above increases the risk of the Group failing to achieve its stated cash flow targets in the short and medium term.

Sales blockages/freezing orders

 

6. The CFF assumes all projects have had sales restrictions lifted by September 2015. As noted earlier, certain of these projects had yet to be released at the time of completion of our work.

 

7. The Group and Houlihan believe this is a short term timing issue only, that secured lender settlement can be deferred along with sales and that any other lender/supplier payments that were to be funded via excess cash from these projects (that becomes available after the secured lender has been repaid) could also be deferred.

 

8. Whilst we accept this in principal, we believe this assessment can only apply for a limited period of time, after which the ongoing restrictions could potentially harm the Group’s market position, goodwill and ultimately its liquidity.

App.5-34


DTZ valuation

 

9. It is our opinion that the DTZ valuation (which suggests a potential shortfall of RMB22 billion in the market value of the Group’s property assets in comparison to the carrying value per the Group balance sheet as at 30 September 2015) increases the risk of achievement of the forecast project cash inflows set out in the CFF (suggesting as it does that the Group’s view of the market conditions differs to that of DTZ).

 

10. We acknowledge the fact the CFF does not unwind the opening balance sheet of the Group (and is instead based upon the Group’s latest view of market conditions and achievable sales proceeds). However, the forecast was not prepared with the benefit of the DTZ valuation work being available. We therefore question the prudence of the Group’s assumptions given the shortfall against asset carrying values evidenced in the DTZ valuation work. This increases the risk for both onshore and offshore creditors in respect of future debt serviceability.

ASP

 

11. The Group’s medium to long term strategy involves a refocus of activity towards Tier 1 and 2 cities, and away from Tier 3 cities that are currently experiencing unfavourable market conditions. This is reflected in the CFF, which demonstrates a change in mix towards Tier 1 and 2 city projects over the forecast period.

 

12. This has resulted in a material increase in the forecast ASP across the period of review. Whilst an element of this increase is attributable to the Group’s stated strategic goal, we note that:

 

  a. there are a number of ‘pipeline’ projects within the forecast which are not contractually secure;

 

  b. other projects are at an early stage of development, making assumptions regarding eventual ASP inherently uncertain; and

 

  c. we have identified certain key cities (notably Shenzhen and Shanghai) where there is significant improvement in the forecast ASP versus recent historical trend (though we acknowledge the historical trend is distorted by the somewhat unique trading conditions experienced by the Group since December 2014).

 

13. As a result of the above, there is material risk that the forecast ASPs included in the CFF are not achieved. That said, there is also upside to this assumption, particularly if market conditions drive increases in demand for quality developments, where the Group has successfully identified and acquired desirable land assets.

 

This Report is strictly confidential. This Report is issued on a non-reliance basis. Please read and review the Disclaimer on page 6 and the Limitations of Scope on pages 3 to 5 of this Report.

App.5-35


URP

 

14. URP projects account for approximately RMB15 billion of net unlevered cash inflows over the forecast period. Whilst we have identified certain prepayments at 30 September 2015 that provide an element of assurance over the existence of these projects, they are in essence projects that are not fully secured from a contractual perspective. This provides a high risk element to the achievement of the forecast net cash flows for onshore and offshore debt service.

 

15. This risk not only relates to the quantum of cash inflows from successfully completed developments, but also has a significant timing element (reflecting the need to successfully conclude negotiations with local government officials/local residents and obtain relevant licenses). In addition to this, the length of URP is typically longer than standard residential projects, meaning that downside market factors can also impact the achievability of the forecast cash flows.

 

16. Conversely, we note URP may present forecast upside to mitigate the downside risks identified, should the Group successfully accelerate developments or acquire new opportunities outside of those assumed in the CFF.

 

17. Of particular note are the impending URP payments forecast for FY16 (RMB5.3 billion in Q2) which have been delayed and are necessary to secure URP02 and URP08 (both of which generate cash inflows from FY17 onwards). Should the Group’s wider liquidity position preclude payment in Q2 FY16 and/or local management is unable to negotiate further deferral with the relocation targets, then there is a real risk these projects will be delayed.

New debt funding

 

18. The CFF includes new secured and unsecured debt funding (some of which will bridge shortfalls in net cash flows in the forecast period), as a means of ensuring the Group is ultimately able to service its obligations to existing onshore and offshore lenders.

 

19. The need for bridging funding increases the risk profile of existing onshore and offshore lenders, who are reliant on the Group’s ability to negotiate appropriate terms, as well as the wider appetite of the debt markets for the Group, in order that the agreed restructured debt service profile can be achieved.

 

20. We understand CITIC and Ping An Bank have recently committed financing to the Group, part of which is intended to mitigate this risk. In addition, we note the positive cash inflow variance in paragraph 141 earlier in respect of additional project specific debt funding over and above that forecast.

Friendly foreclosures

 

21. Approximately RMB7.4 billion of debt in respect of seven projects is assumed to be settled via friendly foreclosure negotiations.

 

22. We understand the Group is negotiating with the onshore lenders to achieve this, but has yet to reach a contractually agreed position.

 

23. Given that these projects will likely result in the lenders having to write off debt, should the Group fail to successfully negotiate terms then further pressure will be placed on cash flows to settle these obligations as they fall due.

App.5-36


Construction payments, past due taxes and other arrears

 

24. The Group has built up an unspecified amount of arrears in recent months due to liquidity issues. We have been unable to obtain analysis of this amount, but note that both the Group and Houlihan expect it to be unwound in the coming months.

 

25. Whilst the Group has successfully negotiated extended trade credit terms in the short term, this position will require unwind in the near term. In addition, the Group has assumed the past due taxes can be settled over the course of 2016, though no agreement is in place with the relevant authorities.

 

26. Should settlement of trade and tax liabilities need to be accelerated, this will impact liquidity and the ability to manage cash resources and fund construction across a range of projects.

Cash in transit

 

27. Whilst this balance is not material in the context of the Group’s overall forecast cash generation to 2020, it forms a significant element of the FY15 forecast operating cash generation.

 

28. We have been unable to obtain evidence to confirm the extent to which the Group has been able to collect cash trapped due to the sales restrictions, thereby further restricting liquidity during the critical short term period.

One-off items

 

29. The CFF includes one-off cash inflows from a range of sources, most notably the Dongguan project disposal (FY15, RMB1.3 billion) and PUD disposals (principally FY15 and FY16, net proceeds RMB2.5 billion). We understand from Houlihan that the Group is currently in negotiations to repurchase this project, therefore increasing the likelihood that the Group will need to repay the sale proceeds (and therefore a shortfall in forecast operating cash flows during this period).

 

30. These disposals are being undertaken in part due to the Group’s liquidity position, hence failure to achieve either the forecast timing or quantum will result in additional cash flow pressure in the near term.

Foreign exchange

 

31. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk in respect of a depreciation of the RMB against the US$ and HK$ (portions of the offshore debt are denominated and serviced in these currencies).

 

32. The Group’s day to day trading activity is conducted in RMB, consequently a weakening of this currency against the US$ and HK$ (constant exchange rates are assumed in the CFF) will result in an effective increase in the cost of debt service (though we acknowledge this risk will not arise in real terms until FY17, when the first offshore cash interest payments are forecast).

The Group and Houlihan’s assessment of risks, upsides and sensitivities

33. As highlighted earlier, we set out below some additional market and economic related risks and upsides identified by the Group and Houlihan that may impact forecast cash generation.

Risks

 

34. Performance of China real estate market: Future revenue from property sales is highly dependent on the strength of the Chinese real estate market, particularly in the Pearl River Delta region and other Tier 1 cities. Continued oversupply in certain Tier 3 and Tier 4 cities, in excess of what has been forecast, could result in a decline in ASPs, which would adversely impact the Group’s ability to meet its sales forecast. Additionally, a further acceleration of the slowing growth in the broader Chinese economy could reduce future housing demand relative to current expectations.

 

35. JV Agreements: The business plan currently assumes that the Group’s JV partners will fund operating losses at certain cash flow negative JV projects; however, given that past JV partners have walked away from loss generating projects, it is uncertain that the Group’s partners will bear their share of potential future losses. If JV partners are not willing to support cash losses, the Group would have additional cash outflows beyond what has been assumed in the business plan.

Upsides

 

36. Refocusing the business strategy on Tier 1 & Tier 2 cities: The Group’s medium to long-term strategy involves refocusing on development in core Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, while gradually exiting Tier 3 cities over time. Housing prices in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities have historically been more stable than in lower-tiered cities. By projecting an increased focus on Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities, it is assumed that the Group will, to a certain degree, insulate itself from potential future declines in the Chinese real estate market. However, if the Group’s assumptions regarding the divergence of Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities from other cities do not prove accurate, there is additional risk to the business plan.

 

37. URP in the development pipeline: The Group has 31 URP that could be developed in the future, seven of which are expected to commence construction and generate sales proceeds during the projection period. To the extent that the Group is able to accelerate the development plan for some of the remaining URP, the Group could achieve cash flows beyond what is assumed in the business plan.

 

38. Investment in new projects: The business plan assumes no future investment in unidentified projects. If liquidity allows for it, the Group may be able to acquire new land and develop new projects, which would further bolster future cash flows and liquidity.

 

39. Speculation of future interest rate cuts and other forms of economic stimulus: The Chinese central bank cut interest rates five times in 2015 and, as Government officials have become increasingly worried about a slowdown in future growth, many have speculated that the central bank will institute further rate cuts that could stimulate future housing demand. Other forms of economic stimulus have also been undertaken, including reducing bank’s reserve requirements. The business plan does not specifically assume further government intervention, meaning such further acts present upside to the current projections.

 

40. Easing of mortgage requirements: Subsequent to the creation of the sales forecast in the business plan, China’s central bank cut the minimum down payment required of first-time home buyers from 30% to 25% and lowered the required down payment on second homes from 60% to 40%. These changes should create a move favourable demand environment than was assumed in the business plan.

App.5-38


41. End of one child policy: China recently ended its 35+ year one-child policy. Families will now be allowed to have two children, which may increase future demand for housing. This change was not specifically assumed in the business plan and, as such, presents upside to the forecast.

Liquidation analysis—Methodology • The liquidation analysis is prepared based on assets and liabilities of the Subject Entities at each entity level. • This liquidation analysis estimates the potential recoveries which creditors of Kaisa may reasonably be expected to receive in the event of a liquidation of the Group. • This estimated recovery analysis is computed based on, among other things, the following : a) The unaudited financial information of the Subject Entities as at 30 September 2015; b) The estimated forced sale values of PUD, PHS, IP and PPE – Properties of Kaisa Group as assessed by DTZ, an independent firm of valuer; c) The rules, manner and distribution preference under the PRC bankruptcy laws and regulations as opined by K&W, an independent firm of solicitors; d) Information and representation from the management of Kaisa in relation to the validity of the onshore security/collaterals/encumbrances and charges over the assets of the Kaisa Group; and e) Representation and assumptions from the management of Kaisa in relation to the nature, quality and estimated recoveries of each key asset held by the Subject Entities. • In addition, the following factors were also taken into consideration in computing the estimated recoveries : a) The place of incorporation and legal jurisdictions of the Subject Entities; b) Security granted in favour of particular lenders, thereby reducing the assets value available for other (unsecured) creditors; c) Intercompany receivable and payable—As each entity has different creditors and stakeholders, it is necessary to include intercompany balances in the liquidation analysis to show the realisations achieved by each separate entity from all sources, including intercompany balances; d) Guarantee claims held in relation to respective credit facilities.

Liquidation analysis (cont’d)—Key assumptions Each entity’s assets are to be realised and distributed to its creditors, taking into account the relevant securities held by the secured General creditors with shortfall (if any) ranked pari passu with other unsecured creditors. principle Remaining unsecured assets would be distributed according to the stipulated preferential order, before the proceeds can be distributed to unsecured creditors (including intercompany claims and corporate guarantee claims) on a pari passu basis. Process Assets in the PRC are to be realised through a court controlled auction process, which would be in a form of a distressed sale. For purpose of this recovery analysis, the realization of assets under the liquidation of Kaisa Group is assumed to have no tax impact. In the event the disposal give rise to tax liability, the return to creditors is expected to be lower than that of the current Tax / SAFE scenario. Proceeds arising from the realisation of onshore assets are assumed to be able to remit to offshore creditors smoothly, without SAFE issues. Restricted cash of pre-sale proceeds is to be refunded to property buyers, while receivables from banks (arose due to delay in Restricted release of mortgage loan(s) by relevant financial institutions) are assumed to be non-recoverable (as legal titles of properties are yet cash to be passed to property buyers). Accordingly, legal titles of PUD and PHS are assumed to be retained with Kaisa Group for disposal via tender process upon liquidation. Intercompany balances due from Subject Entities are computed based on the estimated return by each Subject Entity to its Inter-unsecured creditors. company Save for the Subject Entities, all inter-company balances due are not expected to be recoverable due to lack of underlying assets at balances each subsidiary. Liquidation costs of each Subject Entity, including liquidator and legal costs, costs and expenses incidental to the disposal (except for tax expense) are assumed to be paid in priority at 0.8% of estimated realizable value of assets available to preferential creditors Costs after considering guidance issued by The Supreme People’s Court of the PRC. Preferential remuneration / retrenchment costs are computed at 3.5 months of current employees’ wages, after taking into account the average years of service of the employees (approximately 3.5 years). Time value of money is not considered for purpose of this analysis. Others Joint venture enterprises and wholly owned subsidiaries are treated in the same way in the liquidation analysis. Exchange The exchange rates adopted for purpose of this analysis are HKD/RMB: 0.8208 and USD/RMB: 6.3613, being the published rates as rate at 30 September 2015 as set out under the SAFE official website.

Prepaid taxes 0%—Advised by Kaisa’s management that prepaid taxes can only be utilised by the relevant Subject Entities and cannot be refunded, transferred or assigned. Accordingly, in a liquidation scenario, the estimated realisable value of prepaid taxes is nil.

Liquidation analysis (cont’d)—Estimated recovery analysis for Kaisa Base Case • The estimated recovery analysis is prepared assuming that the Company, in the absence of a restructuring plan, will be placed into insolvent liquidation. • Based on the unaudited financial statements of Kaisa as at 30 September 2015, the assets and liabilities of Kaisa and their respective estimated realisable values can be illustrated by the table at right. • The estimated realisable values were computed after taking into consideration the assumptions set out earlier and discussions with the management. • It is expected that in the event of a liquidation situation, the assets of the Kaisa Group would likely be disposed of at forced sale and/or low residual value, and that most of the proceeds arising from the disposal of the Group’s onshore assets (which constitute most if not all of the Group’s key assets) would be utilised for settlement of debts owing to its onshore creditors (thus do not bring any residual values for the benefits of Kaisa). • As illustrated, Kaisa is insolvent with liabilities (including contingent claims arising from corporate guarantees) far exceeding the estimated realizable values of its assets in a liquidation scenario. • The recovery by the unsecured creditors of Kaisa under a liquidation scenario is estimated at approximately 0.37%. • The estimated recoveries are prepared for indicative purpose only. Events or circumstances could occur that may give rise to either a deterioration or an improvement of these estimates and they should therefore be treated with caution in arriving at any decisions or actions based upon them. Variations in estimates could be material in substance.

Liquidation analysis (cont’d)—Estimated recovery analysis for Kaisa (cont’d) Scenario analysis It is expected that under a liquidation situation, the estimated return to the creditors of Kaisa are dependent, on amongst others the following: ? The estimated realisable values of the properties, which in turn will affect the estimated recoverable amounts of the inter-company balances;? The availability of the residual values arising from the winding up of the onshore subsidiaries to Kaisa;? The ability of the management in achieving the continued listing of the shares of Kaisa on the stock exchange Marketability Amounts recoverable from inter-of Properties company balances Residual Amounts recoverable from investment Values of in subsidiaries Note Onshore Subsidiaries Amounts realizable from listing Continued premium (assuming HKD100M) Listing Return to Creditors Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd. – Liquidation analysis – March 2016 For purpose of illustration, a scenario analysis have been drawn out, setting out the estimated return to the unsecured creditors under the respective scenarios: NET AMOUNT RECOVERABLE (RMB’M) 2 months 12 months Scenarios Base Case Disposal Disposal Residual value Listing from onshore premium 5,367.86 5,984.56 6,608.61 subsidiaries No listing (Note) premium 5,286.44 5,903.14 6,527.18 No residual value Listing from onshore premium 247.40 248.32 249.30 subsidiaries No listing (Note) premium 165.98 166.90 167.88 ESTIMATED RECOVERY RATE TO UNSECURED CREDITORS (%) 2 months 12 months Scenarios Base Case Disposal Disposal Residual value Listing from onshore premium 11.95% 13.32% 14.71% subsidiaries No listing (Note) premium 11.77% 13.14% 14.53% No residual value Listing from onshore premium 0.55% 0.55% 0.55% subsidiaries No listing (Note) premium 0.37% 0.37% 0.37% Based on the above, the estimated recovery to the unsecured creditors of Kaisa ranges between 0.37% and 14.71%. The estimated recoveries, are prepared for illustrative purpose only, and are subject to the result of the adjudication of claims received, the potential appreciation in property value and the costs and expenses incidental to the liquidation/disposal. Note: The management represents that residual value(s) from Subject Entities (i.e. dividends from Subject Entities to immediate holding companies after paying off debts), if any, would be mostly (if not all) absorbed by liabilities of the intermediate holding companies, and that it is highly unlikely to have any meaningful return to Kaisa (as dividend(s) to ultimate shareholder) ©2016 Deloitte China – Private and Confidential DRAFT 21

Appendix 1 – Limitations

 

App.8-23


LOGO

Limitations Compliance with statutory requirement • It is necessary to comply with both onshore and offshore statutory requirements for liquidation or restructuring. Limited scope analysis • We are heavily reliant upon the accuracy, validity and completeness of the financial and other information provided to us by the Company, its staff and advisors. We have not sought to audit or independently verify the information provided to us. Where information has been provided to us, we have assumed that it is accurate and current. • The liquidation analysis involves extensive use of estimates and assumptions, which are inherently subject to uncertainties and contingencies beyond the control of the Company, its management and advisors. As such, the actual recovery from the liquidation could be materially different from the expected recovery set forth in the liquidation scenario. Control of the PRC assets • As a majority of the Kaisa Group’s fixed assets are located in the PRC, our experience suggests that in the event of liquidation, it may take extra time and effort to effect the transfer of assets located in the PRC (which may or may not be successful) and complications may arise in transferring title of assets in PRC from the Subject Entities to the investor. Remittance of funds from the PRC • We have assumed that all proceeds (if any) generated from realisation of assets of the Group including intercompany balances can be remitted to creditors outside PRC under liquidation scenario. Reduction in realisable value of assets • It is generally opined that it is complicated to appoint liquidator to operate on behalf of the Company, realisable value of assets may therefore decrease under liquidation scenario. • Assets may have a lower realisable value under forced sale. • Experienced management may not stay to operate the business as a going concern. Tax issues • It is assumed that all proposed disposal of fixed assets of the Group are not subject to payment of any taxes; however, in certain cases, disposal may give rise to tax liability. If tax liability should arise, expected return to the creditors would decrease. Contingent liabilities • Given the scope of our work has been limited by the information made available to us, we have not taken into account of any other contingent liabilities of the Group, save for the known corporate guarantees on borrowings. Guarantee claims • A creditor may claim in full in respect of guarantee(s) given by any of the Subject Entities except that the amount of its admitted claim shall usually be reduced by the amount of its receipts from the primary obligor or any co-surety. However, the above is not considered in this liquidation analysis as the creditors are unlikely to get full recovery from the primary obligor, or any co-surety and the effect to the Company’s recovery rate is minimal. Adverse impact to PRC operations • The process of liquidation would have adverse impact on the continuation of PRC business (if any), affecting various aspects including suppliers, customers and cash flow. Substantial costs and expenses • Substantial costs and expenses would be incurred during the process of liquidation, which in turn reduces the recovery rate of creditors. Residual values from onshore subsidiaries • After paying off the debts, some Subject Entities may have residual values and could return the same to their intermediate shareholding companies by way of dividend. Based on the information provided to us by the Company, such residual values (if any) would be absorbed by the liabilities of those intermediate shareholding companies, resulting in little or nil returns to the Company (as ultimate shareholder).

Where a compromise or arrangement between the Company and its members or creditors is proposed, the Company shall give notice to all grantees of the options on the same day as it gives notice of the meeting to its members or creditors summoning the meeting to consider such a scheme or arrangement and any grantee may by notice in writing to the Company accompanied by remittance for the full amount of the aggregate subscription price for the Common Shares in respect of which the notice is given, exercise the option to its full extent or to the extent specified in the notice and the Company will allot and issue such number of Common Shares to the grantee.

The Company may by resolution in general meeting or the Board at any time terminate the Share Option Scheme and in such event no further option shall be offered but the provisions of the Share Option Scheme shall remain in force to the extent necessary to give effect to the exercise of any option granted prior thereto. Options granted prior to such termination but not yet exercised at the time of termination shall continue to be valid and exercisable in accordance with the Share Option Scheme.

  (a) The Group endeavours to deliver its products to its customers in a timely manner. The Group closely monitors the progress of construction of its property projects and conducts pre-delivery property inspections to ensure the quality of its properties

 

  (b) The Group’s after-sales services are customer-oriented. The Group’s objective is to ensure continued customer satisfaction. The Group’s sales and customer service division is responsible for its after-sale services for each of its various projects.

 

1.15 Payment Arrangements

 

  (a) Purchasers of the Group’s residential properties, including those purchasing pre-sale properties, may arrange mortgage loans with banks. The Group typically requires a purchaser to pay a non-refundable deposit of no less than RMB30,000 upon signing of a preliminary sale and purchase agreement.

 

  (b) In accordance with industry practice, the Group provides guarantees to banks with respect to the mortgage loans they offer to its purchasers. These guarantees are released upon the earlier of (i) the satisfaction of the mortgage loan by the purchaser of the property and (ii) the issuance of property ownership certificate for the mortgaged property and the completion of the registration of the mortgage. As of 31 December 2014 and 30 September 2015, the Group’s outstanding guarantees over the mortgage loans of its customers amounted to RMB15,337.2 million and RMB15,179 million respectively. As stated above, if a purchaser defaults under the mortgage loan and the mortgagee bank calls on the Group’s relevant guarantee after it deals with the relevant property through a default auction, the Group is required to repay the outstanding amount owed by the purchaser to the mortgagee bank under the mortgage loan, and the mortgagee bank will then assign its rights under the loan and the mortgage to the Group and the Group will have full recourse to the property.

 

1.16 Property Management

The Group has seven property management companies which currently manage the properties developed by the Group. All these companies are the Company’s indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries. In 2014 and the nine months ended 30 September 2015, the Group derived revenue from its property management services of RMB 217.3 million and RMB173.1 million respectively. Under PRC laws and regulations, the owners’ association of a residential community has the right to change property management companies pursuant to certain procedures. As at 30 September 2015, owners of all of the Group’s property developments who had become statutorily entitled to choose their property management companies continued to choose the Group’s property management companies to manage their properties.

1.17 Hotel Operation, Redevelopment and Development

 

  (a) The Group, through Leisure Land Hotel Management (China) Limited (“Leisure Land”), operated Golden Bay Resort, an ocean front hotel located on Jinshawan Beach within a resort area on the outskirts of Shenzhen. The Group acquired the hotel in May 2009 from independent third parties through an acquisition of a 100% equity interest held by those third parties in the target company that owned the hotel properties and the land use rights for the underlying land. The Group financed the acquisition with its internal funds and has fully settled the total purchase price of RMB260.0 million, which was negotiated and determined on an arm’s length basis primarily with reference to the values of comparable hotel properties and the underlying land. Prior to this acquisition, the hotel had been operated at loss.

 

  (b) Golden Bay Resort has a site area of 34,449 sq.m. and a total GFA of 41,700 sq.m. The Group intends to redevelop Golden Bay Resort to further enhance its attraction to individual and corporate customers and marketability. The Group is currently in the process of preparing the detailed redevelopment plan. As at the date of 30 September 2015, the Group had commenced the redevelopment of this hotel.

 

1.18 Investment Properties

The Group develops commercial properties such as office buildings, retail stores and car parking spaces for leasing purposes. The Group believes these properties help to maintain recurring revenue. The Group commercial leases are generally for terms of three to four years. If there are anchor tenants renting relatively large areas at its commercial properties, or whose presence is expected to attract other tenants, the Group may consider offering them leases for terms of between ten and 20 years, with annual rental reviews with reference to fixed percentage increases. Rents are typically determined based on prevailing market rates and calculated on a per square metre basis. The Group may choose to sell the commercial properties the Group has developed when it believes that sales would generate a better return on investment than rental. The Group intends to retain certain of its commercial properties for future development for long-term investment purposes. In managing its investment property portfolio the Group will take into account estimated long-term growth potential, overall market conditions and its cashflows and financial condition. The rental income derived from the Group’s investment properties represented approximately 1.7% and 6.2% of its revenue in 2014 and the nine months ended 30 September 2015 respectively.

CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT Dear Shareholders, On behalf of the board of directors (the “Board”) of Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries referred to as the “Group”), I am pleased to present the interim results of the Group for the six months period ended 30 June 2014 (the “Period”). For the Period under review, the Group’s turnover and gross profit reached approximately RMB6,792.5 million and RMB2,736.6 million, representing a decrease of approximately 3.2% and an increase of 7.1% over the corresponding period of last year, respectively. Profit attributable to shareholders and basic earnings per share amounted to approximately RMB1,328.7 million and RMB26.7 cents, representing an increase of approximately 29.7% and 27.8% as compared to the corresponding period of last year, respectively. BUSINESS REVIEW In the first half of 2014, the Central Government (the “Central Government”) of the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC” or “China”) continued to maintain a stable macro environment while allowing flexibilities in some policies to boost the economy. The on-going monetary tightening in the real estate sector has caused increase in mortgage rate, cooling down of land market and deterioration in market sentiment; as a result, the national property sales and the transaction volume in the primary residential market recorded a decline of approximately 6.7% and 6.0% year-on-year, respectively, according to data compiled by National Bureau of Statistics of the People’s Republic of China. During the Period under review, the Group maintained its focus on mass market housing and achieved approximately RMB11.2 billion of contracted sales, representing an increase of 1.3% year-on-year. Kaisa was ranked 19th in terms of sales according to “Top 50 Real Estate Enterprise Property Developers by Sales in first half of 2014” jointly compiled and issued by China Real Estate Information Corporation (NASDAQ: CRIC; “CRIC”) and China Real Estate Appraisal Center. In addition, Kaisa was ranked number one in terms of sales and gross floor area (“GFA”) sold in the Shenzhen primary residential market for the Period under review according to the statistics compiled by ShenzhenHome (www.szhome.com), a testimony of our leadership in the Pearl River Delta. The Group successfully launched Shanghai Kaisa City Plaza in the Yangtze River Delta and Shenzhen Qianhai Plaza in the Pearl River Delta, further solidifying the Group’s nationwide presence. On a rolling-twelve-month basis, Kaisa managed to achieve a sell-through rate of 60% as at 30 June 2014. With respect to land acquisitions, we maintain our principal focus on end-user market in upper-tier cities. For the Period under review, the Group entered into various agreements for land purchase for a total consideration of RMB9.0 billion, with 98.4% located in tier-one cities and provincial capitals. Our continuous efforts to achieve a more balanced land bank portfolio provide us, in terms of book cost, approximately 78.5% of our land bank in upper-tier cities as at 30 June 2014, as compared to 69.6% as at 31 December 2013. The above land acquisitions will not only allow the Group to accumulate sufficient saleable resources to support its business expansion, but also consolidate its market leadership in upper-tier cities. For the Period under review, our urban redevelopment projects contributed significantly to the Group’s contracted sales. Shenzhen Kaisa City Plaza, the largest residential and commercial complex and urban redevelopment project ever undertaken in Shenzhen, was ranked number one in terms of GFA sold in the Shenzhen primary residential market in the first half of 2014 according to statistics compiled by ShenzhenHome (www.szhome.com). Significant progress has been made in our other urban redevelopment projects in Shenzhen. In March 2014, we have secured approximately 450,246 sq.m. of land bank from our Shenzhen Yantian project. In July 2014, we secured government approval as the developer for the redevelopment of Shenzhen Futian Donshan Project, with current GFA of approximately 120,000 sq.m The realization of urban redevelopment project pipeline will provide the Group with considerable saleable resources to sustain its growth in the medium term and enhance its profitability going forward. In addition, the new implementation details on the procurement of urban redevelopment in Shenzhen effective during the Period under review will also mean expedition in approval process going forward. 4 KAISA GROUP HOLDINGS LTD.

Chairman’s Statement (continued) DEVELOPMENT AND FINANCING STRATEGIES The Group has been taking a proactive approach in managing its liabilities and debt profile. In May 2014, Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) raised their long-term corporate credit rating on Kaisa to ‘BB-’ and “Ba3”, respectively, both with stable outlook. Despite challenging operating environment, the upgrade by S&P and Moody’s are recognitions of the Group’s proactive liability management efforts and marked improvement in its execution capability, and will enhance the Group’s ability to tap the international capital markets at lower cost of funding. On 13 January and 6 June 2014, the Company successfully issued US$250 million 8.875% senior notes due 2018 and US$400 million 9% senior notes due 2019, respectively, to refinance existing indebtedness, to finance its property projects and for general corporate purposes, including liquidity accumulation. Both transactions received overwhelming interest from international financial institutions with more than nine times over-subscription. In June 2014, we successfully obtained consent from our note holders to modify and amend some provisions contained in certain of our outstanding senior notes. Such modifications and amendments will enable the Group to pursue business opportunities that may not otherwise be available, to better suit its business needs and bring the terms of our existing senior notes in line with the current practice. INVESTOR RELATIONS The Company strives to achieve a high standard of corporate governance and high degree of corporate transparency, and is devoted to maintaining a timely and effective communication with its shareholders and investors through various means. In addition to the regulatory filings and announcements, through monthly newsletters, communication with media, investor conference, site visits and reverse road show, the Group strives to keep shareholders and investors well informed of its latest development including business strategies, sales performance, operation and financial condition. The Group values input from investors, bond holders and shareholders, and through various channels to collect their views. PROSPECTS One of the key messages from the “60 Structural Reform Guidelines” promulgated in November 2013 is market forces will play an ever-greater role in Chinese economy. Against the backdrop of the mismatch of investment in the past and the deeply-rooted issues within the state-owned enterprises, as well as the uncertainty of the external economic environment, we believe there will be less policy headwinds in the real estate sector in order to maintain certain robustness of the overall economy. In fact, some local governments have taken steps in reviving their local economy, including the gradual relaxation of home purchase restrictions, the removal of price cap on new housing and annual housing price control target, and the more extensive use of housing provident funds for the purpose of lowering mortgage rate. The central bank also required the commercial banks to have prompt release mortgage financing for first time home buyers. With the above, we believe the sentiment of the market will gradually improve in the second half of 2014. For the Period under review, largely attributable to the land sales in connection with the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone (“Qianhai”), the Shenzhen municipal government has generated approximately RMB41.8 billion of land revenues, a record over the last 10 years, according to data compiled by China Real Estate Index System (“CREIS”). The establishment of Qianhai will certainly elevate Shenzhen’s position in the global stage. In the coming years, the Shenzhen municipal government will embark on massive investment to upgrade its infrastructure, and to improve its business and commercial facilities, to realize such goal. Certainly, such initiatives will spill-over to the development of the Pearl River Delta. Capitalizing its leading market position and project pipeline on urban redevelopment projects in Shenzhen, and over 10 million sq.m. of land bank in the Pearl River Delta, the Group is well positioned to capture the housing demand generated from the new opportunities arising. While we will continue to leverage our brand and our expertise to unlock the value of our pipeline for redevelopment projects, we will continue to implement the asset turnover business model to seize the opportunities in the growing end-user mass market driven by urbanization, aiming to maintain our competitiveness.

Management Discussion and Analysis (continued) LAND BANK It remains an ongoing effort of the Group to expand and rebalance its land reserve to implement the business strategy of rapid turnover model. For the first half of 2014, we purchased a total of 16 land parcels or related interests through private negotiation and government held public tenders, auctions or listing-for-sale. The aggregate consideration for the land acquisitions was approximately RMB9,011.9 million, with an average land cost per total planned GFA of approximately RMB6,686 per sq.m. The total planned GFA per maximum allowed plot ratio attributable to the Group is up to approximately 1.7 million sq.m. In terms of acquisition cost, 98.4% of the land bank is located in tier-one and tier-two cities. As at 30 June 2014, the Group had a total land bank of approximately 23.6 million sq.m., which is sufficient for the Group’s development needs for the next five years. The table below set forth detailed information of these land acquisitions: Attributable GFA per maximum Month of Attributable allowed plot acquisition Location interest Site area ratio Consideration Type (sq.m.)/(No. of (RMB (%) land parcel) (sq.m) in millions) January 2014 Huizhou 100% 169,331(4) 295,754 142.4 Residential January 2014 Suzhou 51% 33,234(1) 47,458 369.2 Residential January 2014 Suzhou 51% 59,629(1) 79,068 241.3 Residential and commercial January 2014 Nanjing 96% 109,832(1) 289,956 4,204.4 Residential February 2014 Chengdu 100% 57,837(1) 245,806 570.0 Residential March 2014 Shenzhen 100% 128,902(5) 450,246 57.4 Residential and commercial April 2014 Shenzhen 51% 429,560(1) 229,495 2,754.0 Commercial June 2014 Shenzhen 51% 49,582(2) 104,903 673.2 Residential and commercial Total 1,037,907(16) 1,742,686 9,011.9 OUTLOOK We believe that the operating environment will continue to be challenging in the second half of 2014, as it is expected that onshore liquidity condition will remain tight and mortgage interest rate will stay high. Nonetheless, over the last few years, the Group has put up substantial capital into land acquisition to pre-fund properties under development which, we believe, will enable the Group to support its future business expansion and capture any business opportunities arising. In addition, the Group continues to focus on realizing the value from its redevelopment project pipeline, while remaining committed to delivering a rapid asset-turnover business model, further enhancing the product quality and capitalizing its branding, with an aim to maximizing returns to the shareholders of the Company.

Management Discussion and Analysis (continued) FINANCIAL REVIEW Revenue Revenue of the Group primarily comprises the (i) sales proceeds from the sale of properties including completed properties held for sale, properties under development and proposed development projects, (ii) gross recurring revenue received and receivable from investment properties and (iii) property management fee income. The revenue is primarily generated from its five business segments: property development, property investment, property management, hotel and catering operations and other businesses. The revenue decreased by RMB223.6 million, or 3.2%, to approximately RMB6,792.5 million in the Period from approximately RMB7,016.1 million for the corresponding period in 2013, mainly attributable to the decrease in recognized property sales. For the Period, the revenue generated from property development, property investment, property management, hotel and catering operations and other businesses was approximately RMB6,540.5 million, RMB94.2 million, RMB83.9 million and RMB27.3 million and RMB46.6 million, respectively. Sales of properties Revenue from sales of properties decreased by RMB293.4 million, or 4.3%, to RMB6,540.5 million in the Period from RMB6,833.9 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in the sales of properties under development and proposed development projects. Rental income Revenue from rental income increased by RMB18.6 million, or 24.6%, to RMB94.2 million in the Period from RMB75.6 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the increased rental space and higher rental rates. Property management service Revenue from property management service increased by RMB13.4 million, or 19.0%, to RMB83.9 million in the Period from RMB70.5 million for the corresponding period in 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to the increased GFA under property management. Hotel and catering operations Revenue from the hotel and catering operations of the Group increased by approximately RMB3.4 million, or 14.2% to RMB27.3 million in the Period, from RMB23.9 million for the corresponding period in 2013. Such increase was mainly attributable to our business expansion in the Pearl River Delta. Other Businesses Revenue from other businesses increased by RMB34.4 million, or 282.0%, to RMB46.6 million in the Period from RMB12.2 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the business expansion in department store, cinema and cultural centre operations. 10 KAISA GROUP HOLDINGS LTD. Interim Report 2014

Management Discussion and Analysis (continued) Gross profit The Group’s gross profit increased by RMB181.1 million, or 7.1%, to RMB2,736.6 million in the Period from RMB2,555.5 million for the corresponding period in 2013, mainly attributable to the increase in contribution from recognized property sales. The gross profit margin increased to 40.3% from 36.4% for the corresponding period in 2013, mainly attributable to sales transactions of properties under development and proposed development projects and the increase in ASP of property sales recognized in the Period. Selling and marketing costs The Group’s selling and marketing costs increased by RMB60.4 million, or 16.9%, to RMB417.1 million in the Period from RMB356.7 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The increase in selling and marketing costs was mainly attributable to more advertising and promotional expenses incurred amid the challenging operating environment. Administrative expenses The Group’s administrative expenses increased by RMB8.2 million, or 2.0%, to RMB414.4 million in the Period from RMB406.2 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the increase in depreciation and operating expenses resulting from the Group’s business expansion. Change in fair value of investment properties The change in fair value of the Group’s investment properties for the Period was primarily attributable to the addition of commercial space of Shenzhen Yantian project into our investment property portfolio. The change in fair value in the corresponding period in 2013 was mainly explained by the appreciated value of the Group’s investment properties in Shenzhen Kaisa Global Center, Guangzhou Jinmao and Huizhou Kaisa Centre Phase 2. Change in fair value of financial derivatives On April 19, 2013, we entered into the 2012 ISDA Master Agreement with The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (“HSBC”), as the swap counterparty, to manage our foreign exchange rate risk arising from the issuance of the Renminbi denominated April 2013 Notes (“2013 HSBC Swap”). The value of the liability component of the 2013 HSBC Swap was approximately RMB6.9 million as of 30 June 2013 and a fair value loss of RMB6.9 million was reflected upon initial recognition from the change in fair value of the financial derivative component of the 2013 HSBC Swap for the six months ended 30 June 2013. The decrease in fair value of our financial derivatives of RMB63.8 million in the first half of 2014 was mainly attributable to the depreciation of Renminbi against the U.S. dollar during the Period. Finance income/(costs) – net The Group’s net finance income increased by RMB415.9 million to RMB28.5 million in the Period from the net finance costs of RMB387.4 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the one-off prepayment expenses of the Group’s offshore debts, of RMB521.0 million, recorded in the corresponding period in 2013. Income tax expenses The Group income tax expenses increased by RMB14.8 million, or approximately 1.9%, to RMB774.6 million in the Period from RMB759.8 million for the corresponding period in 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to the significant decrease in the finance costs, despite the slight drop in operating profit for the Period.

The net profit margin was 19.8% for the Period and 14.3% for the corresponding period in 2013. The Group’s net profit excluding one-off prepayment expenses of offshore debts, exchange difference, imputed interest income, change in fair value of finance derivatives and investment properties, net of deferred tax for the Period and the corresponding period in 2013 was RMB1,156.1 million and RMB1,092.7 million, respectively, resulting in corresponding net profit margin excluding one-off prepayment expenses of offshore debts, exchange difference, imputed interest income, change in fair value of financial derivatives and investment properties, net of deferred tax of 17.0% and 15.6% for the Period and the corresponding period in 2013, respectively.

Pursuant to relevant regulations in the PRC, certain property development companies of the Group are required to place a certain amount of pre-sales proceeds to designated bank accounts as collateral for the construction loans. Such collateral will be released after the completion of the pre-sales properties or the issuance of the title of the properties, whichever is the earlier. Additionally, as at 30 June 2014, certain of the Group’s cash was deposited in certain banks as collateral for the benefit of mortgage loan facilities granted by the banks to the purchasers of the Group’s properties. The aggregate of the above collaterals amounted to approximately RMB1,527.8 million as at 30 June 2014. Perpetual capital instruments During the period ended 30 June 2014, the Group successfully issued perpetual capital instruments in the aggregate amount of RMB1.0 billion for the purpose of financing its real estate projects in the PRC.

As at 30 June 2014, the Group’s bank loans of approximately RMB7,626.1 million were secured by plant and equipment, land use rights, investment properties, properties under development and completed properties held for sale of the Group with total carrying values of approximately RMB22,155.2 million. The Senior Notes 2012, Senior Notes January 2013, Senior Notes March 2013, Senior Notes April 2013, Senior Notes June 2014 and the Convertible Bonds are secured by the share pledge of certain of the Group’s subsidiaries incorporated outside of the PRC, and joint and several guarantees given by certain subsidiaries of the Group. The Group’s domestic bank loans carried a floating interest rate linking up with the base lending rate of the People’s Bank of China.

Cost of borrowings For the Period under review, the Group’s total cost of borrowings was RMB1,121.8 million, representing a decrease of RMB511.2 million or 31.3% as compared to the corresponding period in 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to the one-off prepayment expenses of the Group’s offshore debts of RMB521.0 million recorded in the corresponding period in 2013.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT REPORT ON REVIEW OF INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF KAISA GROUP HOLDINGS LTD. (incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability) INTRODUCTION We have reviewed the interim financial information set out on pages 38 to 74, which comprises the condensed consolidated interim balance sheet of Kaisa Group Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (together, the “Group”) as at 30 June 2014 and the related condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. The Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited require the preparation of a report on interim financial information to be in compliance with the relevant provisions thereof and Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review and to report our conclusion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with our agreed terms of engagement and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. SCOPE OF REVIEW We conducted our review in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. CONCLUSION Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Hong Kong Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Information (continued) 5 REVENUE AND SEGMENT INFORMATION The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the executive directors of the Company. The executive directors review the Group’s internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports. The executive directors assess the performance of the single operating segment based on a measure of profit before finance income, finance costs and income tax expenses. The executive directors consider the business from services perspective only. From services perspective, management assesses the performance of sales of properties, rental income, property management services, hotel and catering operations and other businesses including department store, cinema and cultural centre operations and regards these being the reportable segments. No geographical segment analysis is presented as the majority of the assets and operation of the Group are located in the People’s Republic of China (“the PRC”), which is considered as one geographical location in an economic environment with similar risk and returns. Revenue for the period consists of the following: Unaudited Six months ended 30 June 2014 2013 RMB’000 RMB’000 Turnover Sales of properties – Completed properties held for sale 4,119,905 4,113,348 – Properties under development and proposed development projects 2,420,581 2,720,540 Rental income 94,240 75,584 Property management services 83,937 70,514 Hotel and catering operations 27,252 23,856 Other businesses 46,608 12,233 6,792,523 7,016,075 46 KAISA GROUP HOLDINGS LTD.

For all investment properties, their current use equates to the highest and best use. Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs Fair values of completed commercial properties are generally derived using the income capitalisation method. This valuation method is based on the capitalisation of the net income and reversionary income potential by adopting appropriate capitalisation rates, which are derived from analysis of sale transactions and valuers’ interpretation of prevailing investor requirements or expectations. The prevailing market rents adopted in the valuation have reference to recent lettings, within the subject properties and other comparable properties. Fair values of commercial properties under development are generally derived using the combination of direct comparison method by making reference to the comparable market transactions as available in the market and the income capitalization method by capitalizing market rent derived from the properties. This valuation method is essentially a means of valuing the land and properties under development by reference to its development potential by deducting development costs together with developer’s profit and risk from the estimated capital value of the proposed development assuming completed as at the date of valuation. There were no changes to the valuation techniques during the period. Interim Report 2014 KAISA GROUP HOLDINGS LTD. 51

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Information (continued) 6 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, INVESTMENT PROPERTIES AND LAND USE RIGHTS (Continued) Significant inputs used to determine fair value Capitalisation and discount rates are estimated by valuer based on the risk profile of the properties being valued. The higher the rates, the lower the fair value. Prevailing market rents per square meter are estimated based on recent lettings within the subject properties and other comparable properties. The lower the rents, the lower the fair value. Estimated costs per square meter to completion and developer’s profit margin required are estimated by the valuer based on current market conditions. The estimates are largely consistent with the budgets developed internally by the Group based on management’s experience and knowledge of market conditions. The higher the costs or the margins, the lower the fair value. 7 DEBTORS, DEPOSITS AND OTHER RECEIVABLES Unaudited Audited 30 June 31 December 2014 2013 RMB’000 RMB’000 Trade receivables (note a) 863,220 1,763,782 Other receivables (note b) 1,329,357 394,111 Other deposits 335,472 477,874 Prepayments 101,335 135,813 Prepaid other taxes 778,927 551,959 3,408,311 3,323,539 Notes: (a) Trade receivables mainly arose from sale of properties.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary share outstanding to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. For the period ended 30 June 2014 and 2013, the Company has the Convertible Bonds and share options that have dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Convertible Bonds are assumed to have been converted into ordinary shares, and the net profit is adjusted to eliminate the interest expenses less the tax effect. For the share options, a calculation is done to determine the number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determined as the average periodic market share price of the Company’s shares) based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise in full of the share options.

The company did not operate any business prior to the acquisition and only held a piece of land. Therefore, the Group considered this would be an acquisition of assets in substance and as a result the difference between the cash consideration paid and the net assets acquired would be recognised as an adjustment to the carrying value of the land. In June 2014, the Group partially disposed its 4% issued share capital at a consideration of RMB2,000,000 to an independent third party. As such the Group recognized an increase in non-controlling interests of RMB1,856,000 and an increase in capital reserve of RMB144,000 (Note 25(b)). During the six months ended 30 June 2013, the Group acquired 40% equity interests of Hunan Mingtai Zhiye Development Co., Ltd at a cash consideration of RMB48,000,000. Prior to the acquisition, the Group held 60% equity interest in Hunan Mingtai Zhiye Development Co., Ltd. The company did not operate any business prior to the acquisition and only held a piece of land and properties under development. Therefore, the Group considered this would be an acquisition of assets in substance and as a result the difference between the cash consideration paid and the net assets acquired would be recognised as an adjustment to the carrying value of the land and properties under development. The consideration of the transaction was based on the fair value of the assets acquired. Interim Report 2014 KAISA GROUP HOLDINGS LTD. 69

Discount factors for Value for Sale under Repossession

We have been instructed to provide our opinion of the value for sale under repossession which refers to the price that might reasonably be expected to realize within 2 hypothetical cases (2 months and 12 months respectively) from the sale of a property in the market under repossession by the lender or receiver, on an ‘as is’ basis, taking into account the unique quality of the properties and the existence of any specific demand as well as factors which might adversely affect the marketability of the properties due to market perception of increased risk or stigma, justified or otherwise.

Our opinion of the value for sale under repossession of the properties is derived by multiplying a discount factor to their respective market value.

In forming our opinion of discount factors for value for sale under repossession of each property, we have considered the following factors to determine the discount factors:
