Challenging

environment

The Hong Kong hotel sector has encountered significant headwind since the beginning of 2020 primarily due to

the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

Overnight visitor arrivals in Hong Kong has decreased by over 90% year-on-year1 to a minimal level

There are no signs that international travel and tourism activities will revert to normal soon:

- As at 16 July 2020, 218 countries and areas had reported infections with a total of approximately 13 million COVID-19 cases reported globally2

- Travel restrictions, quarantine measures and social distancing measures remain in force in many countries across the world

Difficult environment for the hotel sector in Hong Kong

Notes:

1. In February, March, April and May 2020; according to statistics published by the Hong Kong Tourism Board

2. According to statistics published by the Department of Health of the HKSAR Government

We receive a fixed rental income of HKD225 million per annum and a variable rental income equal to 70%

of the Adjusted Gross Operating Income of the hotels held by us

The operating performance of the hotels has declined significantly amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Average

room rate, occupancy and revenue per available room (“RevPAR”) of our hotels this year has decreased

significantly as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year

While we continue to receive the fixed rental income from the Master Lessee, the weaker underlying

performance of the hotels has led to a decrease in their Adjusted Gross Operating Income and in turn a

decrease in the variable rent receivable by us

Impact on Loan Agreements and financial covenants

Pursuant to the Loan Agreements, we are required to satisfy certain financial covenants, including

but not limited to maintaining:

- A minimum interest coverage ratio

- A maximum loan to valuation ratio of the hotel properties held by us (the “LTV Ratio”)

As of 16 July 2020, we are in compliance with the provisions under the Loan Agreements. As long as the requirements of

the Mitigation Mechanism are satisfied, the financial covenants will not be considered as breached

We are taking a number of steps in response, including tightening of expense control, deferring various renovation

plans, applying for and receiving COVID-19 subsidies announced from the HKSAR Government and not paying any

interim distribution for the six-month period ending 30 June 2020

We are also paying close attention to our ability to meet the financial covenants, especially the LTV Ratio, as

deterioration that might be prolonged in market conditions and the earnings of our hotels are expected to have a negative

impact on the valuation of our property interests

Financial Covenants

Mitigation Mechanism

If these financial covenants are not met, we are required to undertake Mitigation Mechanism,

including but not limited to:

– Depositing additional cash into an account to be charged to the security agent (to restore the

minimum interest coverage ratio), and/or

– Prepaying part of the outstanding loan (to restore the maximum LTV Ratio)

Why a rights issue?

Notes:

1. Except in relation to any dilution resulting from the taking up by third parties of any Rights SSUs arising from the aggregation of fractional entitlements

2. Assuming (i) no Rights SSUs are taken up by the Qualifying Holders other than Great Eagle Group pursuant to the Irrevocable Undertaking and (ii) no excess applications made by Qualifying Holders

Cannot address the issue in relation to the financial covenants

High execution uncertainty in the current market condition

Would not allow Unitholders to participate in the upside from any future business recovery

Amongst various equity fundraising alternatives, the Rights Issue is the best option:

Improves our financial position immediately

Allows all Unitholders (other than Non-Qualifying Holders) to participate and not be diluted

as to their ownership stake in the Trust Group1 if they wish

Potential opportunity to sell the nil-paid rights (for Qualifying Holders who do not wish to

take up their entitlements)

Great Eagle has provided the Irrevocable Undertaking, thereby giving certainty of raising at

least HKD648 million2

Great Eagle Group has undertaken to take up the number of Rights SSUs under its assured entitlement; it also intends to apply, by

way of excess application, for the maximum number of Rights SSUs allowed under Listing Rules (the number it can take up being

subject to the public float requirement)

Estimated net proceeds: HKD638 million (Scenario B) – HKD1,009 million (Scenario A)

Use of proceeds

Based on the minimum amount of estimated Net Proceeds of HK$638 million as set out in Scenario B:

If additional net proceeds are raised above the minimum amount:

In the case where further Right SSUs are taken up by the Unitholders or excess applications on EAFs are made by the

Qualifying Holders, we will consider utilising such proceeds in prepaying part of the outstanding loans further

under the Loan Agreements.

Notes:

1. Including the settlement of operating, finance and trust level expenses, as well as payment to reserves for furniture, fixtures and equipment and potentially renovation payments

2. Given the uncertainty how the COVID-19 situation may develop, we may utilise more than HK$45 million for the Mitigation Mechanism if the future situation requires. If that happens, the amount for

settlement of finance costs and general working capital will reduce accordingly

3. The release date of the security deposits will depend on our ability to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio, which in turn is subject to various factors contributing to the operating performance of our

hotel properties. Upon release of the security deposits, taking into account future business outlook and financial performance, we will consider payments in relation to, among others, the renovation of its

hotel properties, settlement of finance costs and general working capital purpose

Key terms of the loans:

Bear interest rate at HIBOR plus 0.83% per annum

Mature in December 2023

Secured by our investment properties

Prepaying part of the

outstanding loans

At least 80%

(i.e. HKD510 million)

Additional security deposits under the Mitigation Mechanism:

Current intention: Approx. HK$45 million2, taking into account the

minimum interest coverage ratio we are required to maintain and

our recent financial performance

For general working capital upon release3

The remainder will be set aside for future settlement of finance costs

and general working capital
