defined in the prospectus dated Thursday, December 12, 2024 (the “Prospectus ”) of Xiaocaiyuan International
|

Holding Ltd. (the “Company ”).
|
||
This announcement is for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer or an invitation to induce an offer
|
||
by any person to acquire, purchase or subscribe for any of the securities of the Company. This announcement is not a
|
||
prospectus. Potential investors should read the Prospectus for detailed information about the Global Offering described
|
||
below before deciding whether or not to invest in the Offer Shares. Any investment decision in relation to the Offer
|
||
Shares should be taken solely in reliance on the information provided in the Prospectus.
|
||
This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale
|
||
of Offer Shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sales would be unlawful. This announcement is
|
||
not for release, publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States or any other jurisdiction
|
||
where such distribution is prohibited by law, nor is this announcement an offer for sale or solicitation to purchase or
|
||
subscribe for securities in the United States or any other jurisdictions. The Offer Shares have not been, and will not
|
||
be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time (the “U.S. Securities
|
||
Act”), or any applicable state securities laws, and may not be offered, sold, pledged or transferred within the United
|
||
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act
|
||
(the “Regulation S ”)) except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the
|
||
U.S. Securities Act. The Offer Shares are being offered and sold outside the United States in offshore transactions in
|
||
accordance with Regulation S. There will be no public offering of the Offer Shares in the United States.
|
||
In connection with the Global Offering, UBS AG Hong Kong Branch, as the stabilizing manager (the “Stabilizing
|
||
Manager ”) (or any person acting for it), on behalf of the Underwriters, may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws
|
||
of Hong Kong or elsewhere, effect transactions with a view to stabilizing or maintaining the market price of the Shares
|
||
at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail for a limited period after the Listing Date. However, there is
|
||
no obligation on the Stabilizing Manager (or any person acting for it) to conduct any such stabilizing action, which, if
|
||
taken, (a) will be conducted at the sole and absolute discretion of the Stabilizing Manager (or any person acting for it)
|
||
and in what the Stabilizing Manager reasonably regards as the best interest of the Company, (b) may be discontinued
|
||
at any time, and (c) is required to be brought to an end within 30 days after the last day for lodging applications under
|
||
the Hong Kong Public Offering. Such stabilization action, if taken, may be effected in all jurisdictions where it is
|
||
permissible to do so, in each case in compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulatory requirements, including
|
||
the Securities and Futures (Price Stabilizing) Rules (Chapter 571W of the Laws of Hong Kong), as amended, made
|
||
under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong).
|
||
Potential investors should be aware that no stabilizing action can be taken to support the price of the Shares for longer
|
||
than the stabilization period which begins on the Listing Date, and is expected to expire on Thursday, January 16,
|
||
2025, the 30th day after the last day for the lodging of applications under the Hong Kong Public Offering. After this
|
||
date, when no further stabilizing action may be taken, demand for the Shares, and therefore the price of the Shares,
|
||
could fall.

||

|
||
in the Prospectus. The Hong Kong Offer Shares will not be offered to any person who is outside Hong Kong and/

Note
|
||
1. PRC investors are currently not permitted under applicable PRC laws to participate directly in initial public offerings (“IPOs”) in Hong Kong. However,
|
||
PRC investors are permitted to invest in products issued by appropriate domestic securities firms licensed to undertake cross-border derivatives trading
|
||
activities. In connection with such products, the licensed domestic securities firms, through their Hong Kong affiliates, may participate in Hong Kong
|
||
IPOs either as placees or cornerstone investors (the “Cross-border Derivatives Trading Regime”). Huatai Securities Co., Ltd. (“Huatai Securities”),
|
||
the shares of which are listed on both the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code: 601688) and the Stock Exchange (stock code: 6886), is one of the
|
||
domestic securities firms licensed to undertake cross-border derivatives trading activities. Huatai Securities entered into an ISDA agreement (the “ISDA
|
||
Agreement”) with its indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary, HTCI to set out the principal terms of any future total return swap between Huatai Securities
|
||
and HTCI. Pursuant to the ISDA Agreement, HTCI, which intends to participate in the Global Offering as a placee, will hold the Offer Shares on a non-
|
||
|
||
|
||
--- page 12 ---
|
||
discretionary basis as the single underlying holder under a back -to-back total return swap (the “ Back-to-back TRS ”) to be entered by HTCI in
|
||
connection with a Client TRS (as defined below) placed by and fully funded (i.e. with no financing provided by HTCI) by the Huatai Ultimate Client
|
||
(as defined below), by which, HTCI will pass the full economic exposure of the Offer Shares to the Huatai Ultimate Client, which in effect, HTCI will
|
||
hold the beneficial interest of the Offer Shares on behalf of the Huatai U ltimate Client. Pursuant to the Cross -border Derivatives Trading Regime, the
|
||
onshore investor (the “Huatai Ultimate Client”) cannot directly subscribe for the Offer Shares but may invest in derivative products issued by domestic
|
||
securities firms licenced to undertake cross -border derivatives trading activities, such as Huatai Securities, with the Offer Shares as the underlying
|
||
assets. Instead of directly subscribing for the Offer Shares, the Huatai Ultimate Client will place a total return swap order (the “ Client TRS”) with
|
||
Huatai Securities in connection with the Company’s IPO and Huatai Securities will place a Back-to-back TRS order to HTCI on the terms of the ISDA
|
||
Agreement. In order to hedge its exposure under the Back -to-back TRS, HTCI participates in the Company’s IPO and subscribes the Offer Shares
|
||
through placing order with HTFH during the International Offering. To the best knowledge of HTCI after making all reasonable enquiries, the Huatai
|
||
Ultimate Client is an independent third party of the Company and its associates. The purpose of HTCI to subscribe for the Offer Shares is for hedging
|
||
the Back-to-back TRS in connection with the Client TRS order placed by the Huatai Ultimate Client. Pursuant to the terms of the contracts of the Back-
|
||
to-back TRS and the Client TRS, during the tenor of the Back-to-back TRS and the Client TRS, all economic returns of the Offer Shares will be passed
|
||
to the Huatai Ultimate Client through the Back -to-back TRS and the Client TRS and all economic loss shall be borne by the Huatai Ultimate Client.
|
||
HTCI will not take any economic return or bear any economic loss in relation to the Offer Shares. Investment in the Back-to-back TRS and the Client
|
||
TRS is similar to the investment in a qualified domestic institutional investor fund (“QDII”) in the way that the Huatai Ultimate Client would reap all
|
||
the economic benefits of t he underlying Offer Shares, except that a QDII fund would pass through the exchange rate exposure on both the notional
|
||
value of the investment and the profit and loss of the investment. In contrast, the profit and loss of the Back-to-back TRS and the Client TRS factor into
|
||
account the fluctuation in RMB exchange rate upon termination of the Client TRS by converting the profit and loss using the current exchange rate at
|
||
the time of termination. As such, the Huatai Ultimate Client would bear the exchange rate exposure of the profit and loss on settlement date. The Huatai
|
||
Ultimate Client may exercise an early termination right to terminate the Client TRS at any time from the issue date of the Client TRS which should be
|
||
on or after the date on which the Offer Shares are listed on the Stock Exchange. Upon the termination upon maturity or early termination of the Client
|
||
TRS by the Huatai Ultimate Client, HTCI will dispose the Offer Shares on the secondary market and the Huatai Ultimate Client will receive a final
|
||
termination amount of the Back-to-back TRS which should have taken into account all the economic returns or economic loss in relation to the Offer
|
||
Shares. If upon the maturity of the Client TRS, the Huatai Ultimate Client intend to extend the investment period, subject to further agreement between
|
||
Huatai Securities and the relevant Huatai Ultimate Client, the term of the Client TRS could be extended by way of a new issuance or a tenor extension.
|
||
Accordingly, Huatai Securities will extend the term of the Back-to-back TRS by way of a new issuance or a tenor extension. It is proposed that HTCI
|
||
will hold the legal title and the voting right of the Offer Shares by itself, and pass through the economic exposure to the Huatai Ultimate Client, being
|
||
an onshore client who places a Client TRS order with Huatai Securities in connection with the IPO of the Company. Due to its internal policy, HTCI
|
||
will not exercise the voting right of the Offer Shares during the tenor of the Back -to-back TRS. During the life of the Cl ient TRS and Back -to-back
|
||
TRS, HTCI may continue to hold the Offer Shares in its custodian account, or to hold some or all of the Offer Shares in a prime brokerage account for
|
||
|
||
|
||
--- page 13 ---
|
||
stock borrowing purposes. As permitted under the contractual arrangement with the Huatai Ultimate Client, HTCI will lend out its holding of underlying
|
||
Offer Shares in the form of stock borrowing loans consistent with market practice to lower its finance costs, provided that HTCI has the ability to call
|
||
back the Offer Shares on loan at any time in order to satisfy its obligations under the Back -to-back TRS to ensure the economic interests to be passed
|
||
to the Huatai Ultimate Client will remain unchanged. To the best knowledge of HTCI after making all reasonable inquiries, the Huatai Ultimate Client
|
||
is an independent third party of HTCI, HTFH and the companies which are members of the same group of HTFH.
|
||
The Company has applied to the Stock Exchange for, and the Stock Exchange has granted, a consent under paragraph 5(1) of the Placing Guidelines to permit
|
||
the Company to allocate such Offer Shares in the International Offering to the connected clients listed above. The allocation of Offer Shares to such
|
||
connected client is in compliance with all the conditions under the consent granted by the Stock Exchange.
