Notes:
- The Annual Cap for the year ending 31 December 2019 is estimated (i) taking into account the Deposit payable by Tohigh Property to Oceanwide Shen Gang under the Lease Agreement; and (ii) on the assumption that the term of the lease contemplated under (a) the Lease Agreement was commenced on 1 September 2019 with 2-monthrent-free period from 1 September 2019 to 31 October 2019; and (b) the Supplemental Lease Agreement was commenced on 18 September 2019 to 31 December 2019.
- The Annual Cap for the year ending 31 December 2022 is estimated on the assumption that the term of the lease contemplated under the Lease Agreement will end on 31 August 2022.
Each of the Annual Caps is determined by aggregating the monthly rental payable by Tohigh Property to Oceanwide Shen Gang under the Lease Agreement and the Supplemental Lease Agreement in each financial year. In addition, buffer has been reserved in the Annual Caps for contingencies.
The rent payable by Tohigh Property under the Lease Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Lease Agreement) was determined after arm's length negotiations between the parties with reference to the monthly rental of those entered into by third party tenants occupying surrounding properties in Shanghai, the PRC.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE SUPPMENTAL LEASE AGREEMENT
The Temporary Property is located at few floors above the Property and is served as temporary office of Tohigh Property pending completion of the renovation of the Property.
The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Supplemental Lease Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms and are entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Supplemental Lease Agreement and the Revised Annual Caps are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.
INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND OCEANWIDE SHEN GANG
The Group is principally engaged in property investments in the PRC, real estate development in the United States of America and the development in the energy sector in Indonesia, as well as finance investment and others.
Oceanwide Shen Gang is a company established in the PRC, which is principally engaged in the renting and leasing of the Property in the PRC.
INFORMATION ON TOHIGH PROPERTY
Tohigh Property is a company established in the PRC, which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Tohigh Holdings. Tohigh Property is principally engaged in property investment and asset management.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
Oceanwide Shen Gang is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As Tohigh Holdings is a controlling shareholder of the Company and Tohigh Property is, in turn, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Tohigh Holdings, Tohigh Property is a connected person of the Company and the transactions contemplated under the Lease Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Lease Agreement) constitute continuing connected transactions under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As the applicable percentage ratios (other than the profits ratio) in respect of the Annual Caps for the Lease Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Lease Agreement) are more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the Lease Agreement is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but is exempt from the independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
No Director has material interest in the Lease Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Lease Agreement) and the transactions contemplated thereunder. However, as (i) Mr. Liu Bing, an executive Director, is also a supervisor of Tohigh Property; (ii) Mr. Zhao Yingwei, a non-executive Director, is also the chairman of the supervisory committee of Tohigh Property; and (iii) Mr. Liu Guosheng, an executive Director, is also a director of the Property Manager to which management fee is payable by Tohigh Property under the Lease Agreement, they have voluntarily abstained from voting on the Board resolutions approving the Lease Agreement (as supplemented by the Supplemental Lease Agreement) and the transactions contemplated thereunder.
