Shougang International conducted an open offer in September 2017 where Shougang Holding, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shougang Group, was the underwriter of the open offer. Through Shougang Holding taking up the underwritten shares of Shougang International in the open offer, Shougang International became a subsidiary of Shougang Group upon completion of the open offer on 16 November 2017. As Shougang International is a substantial shareholder of the Company, Shougang Group also became a substantial shareholder of the Company from 16 November 2017 and the transactions between the Group and Shougang Group and/or its associates become connected transactions for the Company for the purpose of the Listing Rules. As Beijing Shougang is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shougang Group, the entering into of the Supplemental Share Transfer Agreement and the Supplemental Repurchase Agreement constitutes connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Lease Agreements will be regarded as an acquisition of right-of-use asset by the Group for the purpose of the Listing Rules. As Yuexiu Property is the controlling shareholder of the Company, it is a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. As at the date of this announcement, Yuexiu Property owns approximately 37.61% of Yuexiu REIT\u2019s units, and therefore Yuexiu REIT is an associate of a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Lease Agreements entered into by the Group with certain subsidiaries of Yuexiu REIT will constitute connected transactions for the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Given the Lease Agreements involve the leasing of properties by the Group with parties who are connected with one another, are similar in nature or otherwise connected, they are required to be aggregated as if they were one transaction. As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the transactions contemplated under the Lease Agreements (including the revenue ratio after taking into account the preliminary estimated revenue which may be generated from subleasing the carparks under the relevant Lease Agreements) exceeds 0.1% but is less than 5%, the transactions contemplated thereunder are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from the circular and independent shareholders\u2019 approval requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.76(2)(a) of the Listing Rules. None of the other Directors has or is deemed to have a material interest in the Lease Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder.", "samples": [{"hash": "7iXvrzA0fow", "uri": "/contracts/7iXvrzA0fow#listing-rules-implications", "label": "Lease Agreement", "score": 32.3181533813, "published": true}], "size": 24, "snippet_links": [{"key": "in-accordance-with", "type": "clause", "offset": [0, 18]}, {"key": "hkfrs-16", "type": "definition", "offset": [19, 27]}, {"key": "the-group-shall", "type": "clause", "offset": [38, 53]}, {"key": "the-properties", "type": "definition", "offset": [77, 91]}, {"key": "the-lease-agreements", "type": "clause", "offset": [98, 118]}, {"key": "consolidated-balance-sheet", "type": "definition", "offset": [148, 174]}, {"key": "transactions-contemplated", "type": "clause", "offset": [193, 218]}, {"key": "by-the-group", "type": "clause", "offset": [303, 315]}, {"key": "of-the-listing-rules", "type": "clause", "offset": [332, 352]}, {"key": "controlling-shareholder", "type": "definition", "offset": [380, 403]}, {"key": "of-the-company", "type": "clause", "offset": [404, 418]}, {"key": "connected-person", "type": "clause", "offset": [428, 444]}, {"key": "date-of-this", "type": "clause", "offset": [495, 507]}, {"key": "an-associate", "type": "clause", "offset": [617, 629]}, {"key": "entered-into", "type": "clause", "offset": [762, 774]}, {"key": "certain-subsidiaries-of", "type": "clause", "offset": [793, 816]}, {"key": "connected-transactions", "type": "clause", "offset": [845, 867]}, {"key": "for-the-company", "type": "definition", "offset": [868, 883]}, {"key": "one-transaction", "type": "clause", "offset": [1144, 1159]}, {"key": "applicable-percentage-ratio", "type": "definition", "offset": [1176, 1203]}, {"key": "in-respect-of", "type": "definition", "offset": [1204, 1217]}, {"key": "revenue-ratio", "type": "definition", "offset": [1290, 1303]}, {"key": "the-preliminary", "type": "clause", "offset": [1330, 1345]}, {"key": "estimated-revenue", "type": "definition", "offset": [1346, 1363]}, {"key": "the-relevant", "type": "clause", "offset": [1422, 1434]}, {"key": "subject-to-the", "type": "definition", "offset": [1532, 1546]}, {"key": "the-circular", "type": "clause", "offset": [1603, 1615]}, {"key": "independent-shareholders", "type": "definition", "offset": [1620, 1644]}, {"key": "approval-requirements", "type": "clause", "offset": [1646, 1667]}, {"key": "pursuant-to-rule", "type": "clause", "offset": [1668, 1684]}, {"key": "other-directors", "type": "definition", "offset": [1732, 1747]}, {"key": "material-interest", "type": "definition", "offset": [1775, 1792]}], "hash": "2687eb45099a4487dd23eefa341043b0", "id": 4}, {"snippet": "The Lessees and the Supplier are under the common control of the same ultimate beneficial owner, the Lessees and the Supplier are parties connected with one another (as set out under Rule 14.23 of the Listing Rules).
