Statement re: share price movement
The Board of China Central Properties Limited, notes the recent share price
movement and confirms that the Company has received an approach, conditional
inter alia on the early cancellation of the Company's outstanding convertible
bonds, which may or may not lead to an offer being made for the Company. The
Board emphasizes that discussions are at an early stage and that there can be no
assurance that an offer will be forthcoming.
A further statement will be issued in due course.

About CCP
CCP is a property investment company listed on AIM, a market operated by the
London Stock Exchange, and focuses primarily on investing in medium to large
partially completed property projects in major and secondary cities in the
Chinese Mainland. CCP has a diversified portfolio of properties, including
commercial, retail and residential complexes, strategically located in Beijing,
Chengdu, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Qingdao and Shenyang.
Application of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers
Since CCP's securities are not traded on a regulated market in the United
Kingdom ("UK") or on any stock exchange in the Channel Islands or the Isle of
Man and since CCP is not considered by the UK's Panel on Takeovers and Mergers
(the "Panel") to be centrally controlled or managed in the UK or the Channel
Islands or the Isle of Man, CCP is not subject to the provisions of the UK's
City Code on Takeovers and Mergers ("Code"). However, the articles of
association of CCP ("Articles") provide that if and for so long as CCP shall not
be subject to the Code, the board of directors of CCP shall, where CCP is the
subject of an approach, comply with and procure that CCP complies with the
provisions of the Code as if CCP were subject to the Code. Accordingly, there is
set out below a description of the dealing disclosure requirements of the Code
which CCP regards as being now applicable to CCP in the light of CCP's
announcement set out above. The Articles provide that the Board shall have
discretion to determine how the deemed application of the Code to CCP shall
operate. Accordingly, the relevant provisions of the Code shall for these
purposes be read such that all references to "the Panel" shall be deemed to be
references to "CCP". In case of any queries, please contact CCP's Nominated
Adviser and Broker Seymour Piece using the contact details set out above in this
announcement.
Dealing Disclosure Requirements
Under the provisions of Rule 8.3 of the Code, if any person is, or becomes,
"interested" (directly or indirectly) in 1% or more of any class of "relevant
securities" of CCP, all " dealings" in any "relevant securities" of that company
(including by means of an option in respect of, or a derivative referenced to,
any such "relevant securities") must be publicly disclosed by no later than 3.30
pm (London time) on the London business day following the date of the relevant
transaction. This requirement will continue until the date on which the offer
becomes, or is declared, unconditional as to acceptances, lapses or is otherwise
withdrawn or on which the "offer period" otherwise ends. If two or more persons
act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether formal or
informal, to acquire an "interest" in "relevant securities" of CCP, they will be
deemed to be a single person for the purpose of Rule 8.3.
Under the provisions of Rule 8.1 of the Code, all "dealings" in "relevant
securities" of CCP by CCP, or by any of its respective "associates", must be
disclosed by no later than 12.00 noon (London time) on the London business day
following the date of the relevant transaction.
"Interests in securities" arise, in summary, when a person has long economic
exposure, whether conditional or absolute, to changes in the price of
securities. In particular, a person will be treated as having an "interest" by
virtue of the ownership or control of securities, or by virtue of any option in
respect of, or derivative referenced to, securities.
Terms in quotation marks are defined in the Code, which can be found on the
Panel's website at www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk. If you are in any doubt as to
whether or not you are required to disclose a "dealing" under the deemed
application of Rule 8 to CCP, you should consult CCP's Nominated Adviser and
Broker, Seymour Piece Limited, using the contact details set out above in this
announcement.
