The notification letter sent by Huang Sishi to your company shows that since he has not worked in Jinke Property Group Co.Ltd(000656) for many years and does not participate in Jinke Property Group Co.Ltd(000656) ‘s production and operation activities, he is no longer qualified to maintain a concerted action relationship with Huang Hongyun.

Please explain whether the basis for the termination of concerted action by both parties is sufficient and reasonable, whether the relevant letters have legal effect, whether the relationship between the two parties has been terminated and whether the termination procedure is in compliance with the voting situation of the previous general meeting of shareholders, Whether your company’s determination that Huang Sishi and Huang Hongyun do not constitute a concerted action relationship complies with the administrative measures for the acquisition of listed companies, guidelines for the application of regulatory rules – listing class No. 1 and other relevant provisions. Please check and comment by the lawyer hired by your company.
Company reply:
1. Are Huang Hongyun and Huang Sishi legal persons acting in concert
According to paragraph 2 of Article 83 of the measures for the administration of the acquisition of listed companies, investors who have acted in concert in the acquisition of listed companies and the change of relevant shares and interests are mutually acting in concert. If there is no evidence to the contrary, the investor is acting in concert under any of the following circumstances:… (12) there are other related relationships between the investors. According to the Listing Rules of Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the close family members of natural persons who directly or indirectly hold more than 5% of the shares of listed companies are related parties. The close family members include: spouse, parents, children over the age of 18 and their spouses, brothers and sisters and their spouses, parents of spouses, brothers and sisters of spouses and parents of children’s spouses. In the guidelines for the application of regulatory rules – listing No. 1, natural persons and their spouses, siblings and other close relatives meet the provisions of item (IX) of paragraph 2 of Article 83 of the measures for the administration of the acquisition of listed companies and item (12) “other related relationships between investors”. If there is no evidence to the contrary, they shall be recognized as persons acting in concert.
Huang Hongyun and Huang Sishi have a father daughter relationship. Therefore, according to the provisions of the above laws, regulations and normative documents, Huang Hongyun and Huang Sishi act in concert with each other without evidence to the contrary.
2. Huang Hongyun and Huang Sishi on whether there is evidence to the contrary that does not constitute a relationship of concerted action in the matter of Jinke Property Group Co.Ltd(000656) voting rights
According to the notification letter issued by Huang Sishi on January 14, 2022 and the further explanation on dissolving the relationship of concerted action issued on January 26, 2022, Huang Sishi believes that:
(1) There are great differences with Huang Hongyun on the company’s development direction, development strategy, organizational structure, governance mechanism, dividend scheme and other aspects, which may form the same or different voting opinions; (2) He has not worked in Jinke Property Group Co.Ltd(000656) for many years, and does not participate in the production and operation activities of Jinke Property Group Co.Ltd(000656) and does not have the conditions for concerted action; (3) The Jinke Property Group Co.Ltd(000656) shares held by him were obtained by way of increased holdings in the secondary market, and Huang Hongyun did not provide him with any financial support. Therefore, he has the ability to fully decide the exercise of the voting rights of his shares without consulting Huang Hongyun’s personal opinions. The above reasons why Huang Sishi believes that it does not constitute concerted action with Huang Hongyun are the intention of Huang Sishi. However, up to now, only the intention of the above notification letter and further explanation on terminating the relationship of concerted action, combined with the voting situation of the company’s previous general meetings from October 28, 2018 to January 14, 2022, There is no contrary evidence that Huang Sishi and Huang Hongyun do not form a relationship of concerted action. Verification opinions of lawyers of Beijing Zhonglun (Chongqing) law firm:
The lawyer believes that under the condition that Huang Hongyun and Huang Sishi have a father daughter relationship and actually maintain the relationship of concerted action according to the agreement on concerted action signed by them on October 28, 2018, and there is no evidence to the contrary that does not constitute the relationship of concerted action, their dissolution of the relationship of concerted action does not comply with the relevant provisions of the measures for the administration of the acquisition of listed companies, the guidelines for the application of regulatory rules – listing class No. 1 and so on.
Question 2: the announcement shows that the agreement on concerted action signed by Huang Hongyun and Jinke holding with Hongxing Furniture Group and Guangdong Hongmin will take effect immediately after the proportion of shares of Huang Hongyun’s actual disposable voting rights is less than or equal to 182280%. During the period of concerted action, there will be at least one director approved in writing by Hongxing Furniture Group and Guangdong Hongmin in your company’s board of directors, otherwise they have the right to terminate this agreement in advance. If Huang Hongyun is unable to terminate the relationship of concerted action with Huang Sishi, the proportion of voting shares actually available to Huang Hongyun is 20.53%. Please explain whether the concerted action relationship between the two parties has taken effect, whether relevant matters have triggered the obligation of shareholders’ tender offer, and whether there is a situation to avoid the obligation of shareholders’ tender offer by lifting the concerted action relationship, in combination with the current situation of directors stationed by Hongxing Furniture Group and Guangdong Hong and the current shareholding proportion of Huang Hongyun.
