Dear Sirs,
RE:
NOAH WEALTH CENTER, NO. 218 SHAOHONG ROAD AND NOS. 1226 AND 1256 SOUTH SHENBIN ROAD, MINHANG DISTRICT, SHANGHAI, THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA (THE “PROPERTY”)
INSTRUCTIONS
In accordance with the instructions from Noah Holdings Private Wealth and Asset Management Limited (the “Company”) for us to value the Property situated in the People’s Republic of China (the “PRC”) in which the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter together referred to as the “Group”) have interests, we confirm that we have carried out an inspection, made relevant enquiries and obtained such further information as we consider necessary for the purpose of providing you with our opinion of value of the Property as at March 31, 2022 (the “valuation date”) for incorporation in a [REDACTED] document.
BASIS OF VALUATION
Our valuation of the Property is our opinion of its market value which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the valuation date between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s-length transaction after proper marketing and where the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.
Moreover, market value is understood as the value of an asset or liability estimated without regard to costs of sale or purchase (or transaction) and without offset for any associated taxes or potential taxes.
Our valuation has been undertaken in accordance with the HKIS Valuation Standards 2020 of The Hong Kong Institute of Surveyors (“HKIS”), which incorporates the International Valuation Standards (“IVS”), and (where applicable) the relevant HKIS or jurisdictional supplement. We have also complied with the requirements set out in Chapter 5 and Practice Note 12 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

IDENTIFICATION AND STATUS OF THE VALUER
The subject valuation exercise is handled by Mr Anthony C.K. Lau, who is a Director of Savills Valuation and Professional Services Limited (“SVPSL”) and a member of HKIS (General Practice Division) with over 29 years’ experience in valuation of properties in the PRC and has sufficient knowledge of the relevant market, the skills and understanding to handle the subject valuation exercise competently.
Prior to your instructions for us to provide valuation services in respect of the Property, SVPSL and Mr Lau did not involve in valuation of the Property in the last 12 months. However, Savills Real Estate Valuation (Guangzhou) Limited Shanghai Branch, which is one of the companies in Savills Group, involved in valuation of the Property for internal reference in the aforesaid period.
We are independent of the Group. We are not aware of any instances which would give rise to potential conflict of interest from SVPSL or Mr Lau in the subject exercise. We confirm SVPSL and Mr Lau are in the position to provide objective and unbiased valuation for the Property.
VALUATION METHODOLOGY
In undertaking our valuation of the Property, which is held by the Group for owner occupation in the PRC, we have adopted the income capitalization method whereby the rental incomes of contractual tenancies are capitalized for the unexpired terms of tenancies. We have also taken into account the reversionary market rents after the expiry of tenancies in capitalization.
We have also considered the direct comparison method for cross-checking purpose. In this regard, we have made reference to sales of comparable properties as available in the market.
TITLE INVESTIGATION
We have been provided with copies of title documents relating to the Property. However, we have not searched the original documents to verify ownership or to ascertain the existence of any amendments which may not appear on the copies provided to us. In the course of our valuation, we have been provided with a copy of the legal opinion issued by the Company’s PRC legal adviser, Zhong Lun Law Firm, regarding the title to the Property in the PRC.
SOURCES OF INFORMATION
In the course of our valuation, we have relied to a considerable extent on information given by the Group and also accepted advice given to us on such matters as planning approvals or statutory notices, easements, tenure, particulars of occupancy, site and floor areas, completion date, tenancy agreements and all other relevant matters. Dimensions, measurements and areas included in the valuation report are based on the information contained in the documents provided to us and are therefore only approximations. No on-site measurements have been taken. We have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of the information provided to us by the Group, which is material to our valuation. We are also advised by the Group that no material facts have been omitted from the information supplied. We consider that we have been provided with sufficient information to reach an informed view.
VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS
In valuing the Property in the PRC, unless otherwise stated, we have assumed that transferable land use rights of the Property for its specific terms at nominal annual land use fees have been granted and that any premium payable has already been fully paid. Unless otherwise stated, we have also assumed that the owner of the Property has good legal title to the Property and has free and uninterrupted rights to occupy, use, transfer or lease the Property for the whole of the unexpired term as granted.
No allowance has been made in our valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Property nor for any expenses or taxation which may be incurred in effecting a sale. Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions and outgoings of an onerous nature which could affect its value.
