Description (Please provide a detailed description of the event in the box below)
Jardine Cycle & Carriage Limited ("JC&C") wishes to announce that it has purchased an aggregate of 2,200,000 shares in Truong Hai Auto Corporation ("THACO") from third party vendors for a total cash consideration of VND161.6 billion (approximately USD7.0 million).

As a result of the purchase, JC&C's shareholding in THACO has increased from 25.16% to 25.30%.

The purchase is funded by internal resources, and the consideration was arrived at following negotiations on a willing-buyer, willing-seller basis taking into account, amongst others, THACO's historical earnings and growth potential.

The purchase is not expected to have a material impact on the JC&C Group's net tangible assets or earnings per share. Had the purchase taken place on 1st January 2017, it would not have had a material impact on the JC&C Group's earnings per share for the financial year ended 31st December 2017. Had the purchase taken place on 31st December 2017, it would not have had a material impact on the JC&C Group's net tangible assets per share for the financial year ended 31st December 2017.

None of the Directors or controlling shareholders of JC&C has any interest, direct or indirect, in the transaction (save through their shareholding interests, if any, in JC&C or directorship in THACO).
