Reference is made to the joint announcement of S E A Holdings Limited ("SEA") and Nan Luen International Limited (the "Offeror") dated 31 March 2017 in relation to, among other things, the Share Exchange Offer (the "Joint Announcement"), the joint announcement of SEA and the Offeror dated 18 April 2017 in relation to the revised timetable and the joint announcements of the Offeror and Asian Growth Properties Limited ("AGP") dated 5 May 2017, 17 May 2017 and 5 June 2017 in relation to the delay in despatch of the Composite Document. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalised terms used herein shall bear the same meanings as defined in the Joint Announcement.

 

Pursuant to Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code, the Composite Document, together with the accompanying form of acceptance and transfer regarding the Share Exchange Offer, are required to be despatched to the AGP Qualifying Shareholders (both existing and arising as a result of the Distribution in Specie) within 35 days of the date of the Joint Announcement, i.e. on or before 5 May 2017, unless consent is granted by the Executive to extend the deadline for the despatch of the Composite Document. As disclosed in the joint announcement of the Offeror and AGP dated 5 June 2017, the Executive has granted its consent and extended the latest time for the despatch of the Composite Document to 16 June 2017.

 

Due to the need to comply with various regulatory requirements in different jurisdictions related to the Share Exchange Offer (including approvals under and compliances with English and New Zealand laws and regulations), additional time is required to finalise the information to be included in the Composite Document. An application has been made to the Executive pursuant to Rule 8.2 of the Takeovers Code for its consent to further extend the latest time for the despatch of the Composite Document and the accompanying form of acceptance and transfer regarding the Share Exchange Offer to no later than 7 July 2017, and the Executive has indicated that it is minded to grant such consent. The detailed timetable relating to the Share Exchange Offer will be set out in the Composite Document.
