(4) Basis of Consideration and Valuation of BUCZT

On 24 August 2021, the Capital Increase project of BUCZT was officially publicly tendered on the China Beijing Equity Exchange in accordance with the relevant regulations on supervision of state-owned assets. The initial price at the public tender is RMB5.10 per Share. The deadline for public tender of the Capital Increase project was 25 October 2021. On 26 October 2021, the China Beijing Equity Exchange sent the “Opinions on the Qualification Review of Prospective Investors” (《意向投資方資格審核意見書》) to BUCZT, informing BUCZT that Fuzhou Metro Group and Jiaxing Hezheng Chengzhi submitted the Investment Application (《投資申請書》) and relevant materials during its public tender, and the two companies met the qualifications of the prospective investors after the qualification review. Therefore, BUCZT solicited through public tender on China Beijing Equity Exchange and identified Fuzhou Metro Group and Jiaxing Hezheng Chengzhi as investors of the Capital Increase in accordance to relevant regulations, and determined the price of the Capital Increase (being RMB5.10 per Share). The price of the Capital Increase of Chengke Yunchuang Enterprise Management and BUCG was determined with reference to the price of the Capital Increase of Fuzhou Metro Group and Jiaxing Hezheng Chengzhi. The price of the Capital Increase was determined based on the assessed value of net assets of BUCZT as of 31 May 2021, which has filed with the state-owned asset supervisory and management authorities, and shall not be lower than that assessed value.

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The net asset value of BUCZT as of 31 May 2021 was RMB356,916,300, which was determined based on the income approach adopted in the valuation report. Summary of the valuation report is set out in Appendix I to this circular, including the reasons for adoption of the income approach in the valuation, methods and assumptions adopted by the independent valuer, valuation scope and results.

The assumptions contained in the valuation report on BUCZT are as follows:

(i) Basic assumptions

  • (1) Open market assumption assumes that the parties to an asset trading or a proposed asset trading in the market are dealing with each other at arm’s length and have the opportunities and time to obtain sufficient market information to make rational judgments as to the function, usage and trading price of the asset.

  • (2) Transaction assumption assumes that all the assets to be valued are already in the process of transaction, and the valuer carries out the valuation based on a simulated market which involves the transaction conditions of the assets to be valued. Transaction assumption is the most basic assumption for asset valuation; and

  • (3) Going concern assumption assumes that the appraised entity will not cease operation for any reason in the foreseeable future, but will continue to operate lawfully with its existing assets and resources.

(ii) General assumptions

  • (1) It is assumed that there will be no significant changes to the relevant prevailing laws, regulations and policies, or macro-economic situations in the PRC as well as the political, economic and social environment of regions where the parties to the transaction are located;

  • (2) It is assumed that there will be no significant changes to the interest rate, exchange rate, taxation base and tax rate, policy-imposed levies relating to the appraised entity subsequent to the valuation base date;

  • (3) It is assumed that the management of the appraised entity is responsible, stable and capable of taking on its duties subsequent to the valuation base date;

  • (4) Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the appraised entity fully complies with all relevant laws and regulations.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(iii) Forecast assumptions under the income approach and other special assumptions

  • (1) Unless otherwise stated, it is assumed that the appraised entity fully complies with all relevant laws and regulations;

  • (2) It is assumed that the values of various parameters measured in the valuation are determined based on the current pricing system, without taking into account the effect from inflation subsequent to the valuation base date;

  • (3) It is assumed that there is no force majeure and unforeseeable factors which may have a material adverse impact on the appraised entity subsequent to the valuation base date;

  • (4) It is assumed that the accounting policies adopted by the appraised entity subsequent to the valuation base date will be consistent in material aspects with those adopted in the preparation of the valuation report;

  • (5) It is assumed that the business scope and method of operation of the appraised entity subsequent to the valuation base date will be consistent with those in existence on the basis of the existing management model and level;

  • (6) It is assumed that there will be no significant change to relevant prevailing laws and regulations on the recognition of high and new technology enterprises in the future and the appraised entity can meet the conditions for recognizing as a high and new technology enterprise and can continuously enjoy preferential policies on the levy of income tax at 15%.

After review on the valuation report and taking into account (i) the independent valuer has prepared the valuation report based on procedures, standards, laws and regulations of the PRC on valuation; (ii) the independent valuer has reviewed the financial data, operating data and other relevant data in relation to BUCZT to understand the company comprehensively; and (iii) the reasons for adoption of the income approach in the valuation, methods and assumptions adopted by the independent valuer, valuation scope and valuation results, the Directors believe that the valuation results reflect the value of BUCZT and are fair and reasonable.

Ernst & Young, the reporting accountant of the Company, has reviewed the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the discounted cash flow forecast on which the valuation is based, without involving the reasonability of the accounting policies and assumptions adopted. The Board has confirmed that the profit forecast (including the assumptions) of BUCZT set out in the valuation report are made after due and careful enquiry. Letters from Ernst & Young and the Board are set out in Appendix II and Appendix III to this circular, respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(5) Conditions Precedent

The Capital Increase Agreement will come into force immediately upon obtaining approvals from the general meeting of the Company and BUCZT, respectively.

(6) Payment Terms

All funds for the Capital Increase shall be paid in cash. BUCG, Chengke Yunchuang Enterprise Management, Fuzhou Metro Group and Jiaxing Hezheng Chengzhi shall pay the funds for the Capital Increase to the bank account designated by BUCZT within one business day after the Capital Increase Agreement becomes effective.

(7) Use of Proceeds from the Capital Increase

The proceeds from the Capital Increase obtained by BUCZT will be used to supplement its working capital, repay short-term borrowings, and are proposed to be used for the research and development of cloud-based train automatic operation control system, limbic system and emergency management commanding system.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company expects that the proceeds from the Capital Increase will not be used for purposes other than those mentioned above.

(8) Profit and Loss during the Transitional Period

The profit and loss of BUCZT during the transitional period, a period commencing from the valuation base date (i.e. 31 May 2021) to the date of completing the change of registration with industry and commerce department for the Capital Increase, shall be shared by the new and old shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings after the completion of the Capital Increase. As the consideration for the Capital Increase is based on the valuation of the net asset value of BUCZT, which adopted the income approach, the expected profit of BUCZT has been reflected in the consideration for the Capital Increase, and the Directors consider that it is commercially reasonable for the profit and loss of BUCZT during the transitional period to be shared by the new and old shareholders after the Capital Increase in proportion to their shareholdings.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(9) Reasons for and Benefits of Entering into the Capital Increase Agreement

The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors, whose view on relevant matter are set out in the section headed “Letter from the Independent Board Committee” in this circular after considering the advice from the Independent Financial Adviser) are of the view that the major reasons for and benefits of entering into the Capital Increase Agreement are as follows:

  • (i) The principal business of BUCZT is not the key direction of the Company’s business development with lower proportion to the business revenue and smaller contribution to historical performance

BUCZT is a company established in the PRC with limited liability on 10 October 2014, and its principal business is mainly centred on the urban rail transit cloud-based transportation automation system, to provide research and development, production and sales of products such as communication system, signal system, integrated monitoring system, automatic fare collection system, screen door system and other related products and integration services in the urban rail transit industry, which historically is in the relationship of general contracting and subcontracting and the upstream and downstream relationship with the business of the Company.

The Company, as a company developed around the design, survey and consultancy business for rail transit, subsequently commences to engage in construction contracting business with an aim to specifically establish a dual-major business pattern. However, the principal business of BUCZT is not the key development direction of the Company.

The Company then established BUCZT in order to expand the rail transit market. However, due to fierce competition in the product market in which BUCZT was involved, its early-stage business mainly relied on the Company’s support in its strengths in industrial chain and projects at hand, and the historical performance contribution ratio was relatively low. For the year ended 31 December 2020, the percentage of the revenue of BUCZT to the revenue of the Company was 5.54%. In addition, the net profit of BUCZT accounted for 4.26% for the year ended 31 December 2020. The Company’s investment returns on BUCZT is mainly realized through the profit distribution obtained from BUCZT according to the proportion of shareholding. Accordingly, the Directors believe that no material impact will be caused by BUCZT on the business development and performance of the Company.

The Company and other proprietors of relevant intangible assets (including BUCZT) also agreed that the relevant intangible assets which are mainly software copyrights for products and services related to the rail transit will be transferred to BUCZT. As these relevant intangible assets are not related to the Company’s principal business and have only been used by BUCZT in the past, the Company confirmed that the transfer of these relevant intangible assets will not have a material impact on the business of the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (ii) As BUCZT has a large demand for financing, and the Company optimizes resource allocation and focuses on the development of the dual-major business pattern, it is difficult to continuously invest a large amount of funds to meet its development requirements

Since its establishment, BUCZT has successively involved in the completion of projects such as Kunming Line 4 and Taiyuan Line 2, and has undertaken projects such as Shaoxing Line 1, which drives its financing demand increase significantly. Therefore, BUCZT has increased efforts in financing with the gearing ratio continually increasing. As of the end of 2020, the gearing ratio exceeded 90%. Meanwhile, BUCZT has recorded a large amount of uncollected receivables with contingent risks from offering products and services to various engineering projects across the PRC during its past development history. As of 31 December 2020, the original value of trade receivables of BUCZT was RMB433,371,600 and the provision for impairment was RMB31,061,400.

Based on the needs of business development, the Company intends to invest resources mainly in the principal business fields such as rail transit design and engineering to improve the efficiency of resource utilization and further enhance the advantages of principal business. Given that the principal business of BUCZT is not the key direction of the Company’s development, and its low performance contribution, high cash flow pressure, and large debt scale have affected the sustainable and sound development of the Company. Therefore, it is difficult for the Company to continuously invest a large amount of funds to meet BUCZT’s development requirements and the Company has not arranged capital budget to support such financing of BUCZT. In addition, upon the completion of the Capital Increase in BUCZT, it is also beneficial to the optimization of the structure of assets and liabilities of the Company with the gearing ratio decreased.

(iii) The Company retains its significant influence on BUCZT, maintains a cooperative relationship, and continues to enjoy investment returns

BUCZT intends to introduce strategic investors in this financing to establish capital relationships with major customers in the market and promote market development. Meanwhile, BUCZT proposes to establish Chengke Yunchuang Enterprise Management to implement the Employee Stock Ownership Plan to effectively align the interests of employees and promote its sustainable and healthy development. The participation of such financing parties will significantly dilute the state-owned shareholding held by Beijing Municipality in BUCZT (such shareholding is held through BUCG). In order to meet the requirement of maintaining a controlling position for state-owned enterprises stipulated by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of People’s Government of Beijing Municipality, BUCG, our controlling shareholder, intends to increase capital in BUCZT and become its controlling shareholder with an expected shareholding of approximately 35.88% in BUCZT upon the completion of the Capital Increase, while the shareholding of the Company in BUCZT is expected to be diluted to 30.83%.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Through the Capital Increase, BUCZT will become an affiliated enterprise of BUCG, and will rely on BUCG to seek more support in terms of capital and market expansion in the future. Although the Company will lose its control over BUCZT, it still holds a relatively high proportion of equity interest in BUCZT and retains significant influence on it (including the right to (i) submit proposals to the board of directors or the supervisory committee and request the convening of extraordinary general meetings; (ii) convene general meetings on its own; and (iii) nominate directors or supervisors), whereby it can participate in the future development of BUCZT and maintain its business synergies with BUCZT, and enjoy the return on investment according to the shareholding.

Besides, both the Company and BUCZT are controlled by BUCG. By leveraging this relationship, the Company is able to maintain the close business relationship with BUCZT alongside with BUCZT’s business development. By continuing to cooperate with BUCZT closely, the Company can also take advantage of the synergies to further maintain its edges.

In addition, BUCZT shall introduce strategic investors through the Capital Increase and share enlargement, which will also help the Company establish cooperation with relevant parties, expand development channels and secure more potential business opportunities.

Although the profit after tax of BUCZT in 2020 has increased significantly compared with that in 2019, on the basis set out above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors, who have considered the advice from the Independent Financial Adviser) are of the view that the terms of the Capital Increase Agreement are fair and reasonable and are made on normal commercial terms, and the Capital Increase is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

(10) Financial Impact of the Transactions Contemplated under the Capital Increase on the Group

The shareholding of the Company in BUCZT will be reduced from 60% to approximately 30.83% upon the completion of the Capital Increase. BUCZT will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and become an associate of the Company and therefore, its financial results upon the completion of the Capital Increase will not be consolidated in the financial statements of the Company. Assuming that the Capital Increase was completed on 31 December 2020, after which it was expected the total assets of the Group would decrease by approximately RMB798,522,594.66, representing approximately 3.90% of the total assets of the Company, and the total liabilities would decrease by approximately RMB751,868,723.01, representing approximately 4.91% of the total liabilities of the Company. The gearing ratio of the Company would reduce by approximately 0.8%. The Directors are of the view that the Capital Increase will not have a material impact on the Group’s financial results.

After deducting the expenses for the Capital Increase, it is expected that no gains or losses will be recorded by the Company from the Capital Increase.

(11) Implications of the Listing Rules

According to the Capital Increase Agreement, the shareholding of the Company in BUCZT will be reduced from 60% to approximately 30.83% upon the completion of the Capital Increase. Therefore, the Capital Increase will constitute a deemed disposal under Rule 14.29 of the Listing Rules.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio of the transactions contemplated under the Capital Increase Agreement exceeds 5% but is lower than 25%, the transactions contemplated under the Capital Increase Agreement will constitute a discloseable transaction of the Company, which is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, BUCG held 42.34% of the issued shares of the Company and was the controlling shareholder and connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules. In accordance with the Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, the Capital Increase Agreement entered into by the Company and BUCG and transactions contemplated thereunder will constitute a connected transaction, which are subject to reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

Each of Mr. Pei Hongwei (being a director, the general manager and the deputy secretary of the Party Committee of BUCG), Ms. Wu Donghui (being the assistant to the general manager of BUCG) and Ms. Shi Huaxin (being the head of the capital operation department of BUCG), our Directors, is deemed to have material interests in the above-mentioned transactions by virtue of their senior positions in BUCG. Therefore, such Directors have abstained from voting on the Board resolution approving the above-mentioned transactions in accordance with the requirements of the Articles of Association and the Listing Rules.

In accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Independent Board Committee comprising the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Wang Guofeng, Mr. Ma Xufei, Mr. Sun Maozhu, Mr. Liang Qinghuai and Mr. Qin Guisheng has been established for the purpose of advising the Independent Shareholders in respect of, among others, the entering into of the Capital Increase Agreement and transactions contemplated thereunder.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Set out below is the summary of the pro forma consolidated financial information of BUCZT and its subsidiaries for the two years ended 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2020:

Year ended Year ended
31 December 31 December
2019 2020
(RMB’0,000) (RMB’0,000)
Turnover 54,152.26 55,297.44
Profit/(loss) before tax (24.15) 3,531.62
Profit after tax 361.84 3,439.28

The total owners’ equity of BUCZT as at 31 May 2021 was approximately RMB82,448,300, and the net profit in 2019 and 2020 was approximately RMB3,618,400 and approximately RMB34,392,800, respectively, of which the revenue in 2019 was approximately RMB541,522,600 with a net profit margin of 0.67%; and the revenue in 2020 was approximately RMB552,974,400 with a net profit margin of 6.22%. In 2019, BUCZT was at a critical stage of transformation and upgrading to subway construction. On the one hand, it entered the market for the first time, and the costs related to the implementation of the project were not estimated sufficiently. On the other hand, BUCZT aimed to build a typical project in the market around the “cloud-based transportation automation system” to enhance its competitiveness in the market, and the related investment in manpower and material resources was relatively significant, all of which resulted in a relatively low revenue, and therefore the overall net profit margin of BUCZT was lower. In 2020, BUCZT realized initial market expansion based on the accumulated experience of the previous projects. The implementation of projects promoted the revenue to maintain a stable scale, while realizing reasonable returns and raising the net profit margin to a relatively stable and reasonable level.

As the Company’s principal business is the provision of design, survey and consultancy services for rail transit engineering and the construction contracting business, the Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit of the Company were carried out by BUCZT before the completion of the Capital Increase, and there was no other subsidiary of the Company engaged in such business. The Group will also not engage in such business after entering into the Supplemental Agreement III to the Non-competition Agreement. Currently, the Group has no intention to engage in such business, but if the Group wishes to do so in the future, the Company will comply with the relevant regulations, including further amendments to the Existing Non-competition Agreement.

  • II. The title of Article 3 of the Existing Non-competition Agreement is revised to “Article 3 Undertakings by the Parties” and the following content is added after Article 3.8 as Article 3.9:

“When the Company is engaged in rail transit related businesses, if the inseparable part of the businesses involves ‘Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit’, subject to not violating the relevant requirements of the construction unit and relevant laws and regulations such as bidding, the Company or its subsidiaries will give priority to subcontracting these businesses to BUCZT, a company owned by BUCG under the same conditions.”

(4) Reasons for and Benefits of the Supplemental Agreement III to the Non-competition Agreement

Given that BUCZT intends to implement Capital Increase, and BUCG will participate in the Capital Increase of BUCZT.

The Company will hold approximately 30.83% equity interests in BUCZT and BUCZT will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company.

We have not, however, conducted any independent in-depth investigation into the business and affairs of the Company, BUCG or their respective subsidiaries or associates (if applicable), nor have we considered the taxation implication on the Group or the Shareholders as a result of the Transactions. Our opinion is necessarily based on the financial, economic, market and other conditions in effect and the information made available to us as at the Latest Practicable Date.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

With reference to the Board Letter, upon the completion of the Capital Increase, BUCZT will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and become an associate of the Company. As confirmed by the Directors, the Group (excluding BUCZT) (the “ Remaining Group ”) will no longer be engaged in the business of Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit (as defined below).

A. CAPITAL INCREASE

Information on BUCZT

With reference to the Board Letter, BUCZT is a company established in the PRC with limited liability in 10 October 2014, and the principal business of BUCZT is mainly centred on the urban rail transit cloud-based transportation automation system, to provide research and development, production and sales of products such as communication system, signal system, integrated monitoring system, automatic fare collection system, screen door system and other related products and integration services in the urban rail transit industry, which historically is in the relationship of general contracting and subcontracting and the upstream and downstream relationship with the business of the Company.

BUCZT was incorporated in the PRC on 10 October 2014 with registered capital of RMB70 million. As at the Latest Practicable Date, 60%, 30% and 10% of equity interests in BUCZT were held by the Company, BUCG and BUCIC, respectively.

Key financial information of BUCZT for the two years ended 31 December 2020 are set out below, which were extracted from the section headed “Information on BUCZT” of the Board Letter.

For the year ended For the year ended
31 December 2020 31 December 2019
(RMB’0,000) (RMB’0,000)
Revenue 55,297.44 54,152.26
Profit after tax 3,439.28 361.84

With reference to the Board Letter, BUCZT recorded a slight increase in revenue for the year ended 31 December 2020 as compared to that for the year ended 31 December 2019; while a very significant increase in net profit for the year ended 31 December 2020 (i.e. approximately RMB34.4 million) as compared to that for the year ended 30 December 2019 (i.e. approximately RMB3.6 million). In 2019, BUCZT was at a critical stage of transformation and upgrading to subway construction. On the one hand, it entered the market for the first time, and the costs related to the implementation of the project were not estimated sufficiently. On the other hand, BUCZT aimed to build a typical project in the market around the “cloud-based transportation automation system” to enhance its competitiveness in the market, and the related investment in manpower and material resources was relatively significant, all of which resulted in a relatively low revenue, and therefore the overall net profit margin of BUCZT was lower.

– 41 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In 2020, BUCZT realized initial market expansion based on the accumulated experience of the previous projects. The implementation of project promoted the revenue to maintain a stable scale, while realizing reasonable returns and raising the net profit margin to a relatively stable and reasonable level. As at 31 May 2021, BUCZT’s total owners’ equity amounted to approximately RMB82,448,300.

As advised by the Directors, BUCZT is a participant to rail transit related industry. We searched for certain statistics figures of the industry.

Set out below are the distance of the new operating railway lines (新增運營線路長度) in the PRC during the five years ended 31 December 2020, being the latest five full-year statistics published by the China Association of Metros* (中國城市軌道交通協會):

2020 2019 2018 2017 2016
Distance of the new
operating railway
lines (kilometre) 1,233.5 974.8 728.7 879.9 534.8

As shown in the table above, the distance of the new operating railway lines in the PRC increased from approximately 534.8 kilometres for 2016 to 1,233.5 kilometres for 2020, representing a compound annual growth rate of 23.24%.

We also noted from the China Association of Metros (中國城市軌道交通協會) that the completed construction investment amount (for urban transportation lines) was approximately RMB628.6 billion in 2020, representing an annual growth rate of 5.5%; the length of construction-in-progress of urban transportation lines (在建線路總長) amounted to 6,798.5 kilometres in 2020, being close to that for previous year.

Jiaxing Hezheng Chengzhi

The business scope of Chengke Yunchuang Enterprise Management is corporate management and corporate consulting.

Reasons for and benefits of the Capital Increase

With reference to the Board Letter, the Directors are of the view that the major reasons for and benefits of entering into the Capital Increase Agreement are as follows: (i) the principal business of BUCZT is not the key direction of the Company’s business development with lower proportion to the business revenue and smaller contribution to historical performance; (ii) as BUCZT has a large demand for financing, and the Company optimizes resource allocation and focuses on the development of the dual-major business pattern, it is difficult to continuously invest a large amount of funds to meet its development requirements; and (iii) the Company retains its significant influence on BUCZT, maintains a cooperative relationship, and continues to enjoy investment returns.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Improve financial position of the Group

With reference to the Board Letter, since BUCZT’s establishment, BUCZT has successively involved in the completion of projects such as Kunming Line 4 and Taiyuan Line 2, and has undertaken projects such as Shaoxing Line 1, which drives its financing demand increase significantly. Therefore, BUCZT has increased efforts in financing with the gearing ratio continually increasing. We noted from the financial information of BUCZT for the year ended 31 December 2020 that BUCZT’s asset-liability ratio (total liabilities divided by total assets) was over 90% as at 31 December 2020.

We understood from the Directors that, upon Completion, BUCZT will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company, which will be beneficial for the Remaining Group to improve the financial positions by way of, among other things, decrease the gearing ratio.

For Shareholders’ information purpose only, the amount of guarantee provided by the Group to BUCZT was approximately RMB7.4 million as at 30 September 2021.

Refining business scope of the Group

As stated in the both 2021 Interim Report and 2020 Annual Report, the Group generates its revenue from (i) design, survey and consultancy segment and (ii) construction contracting segment where the Group provides services for infrastructure construction (in particular, urban rail transit).

As stated in the 2021 Interim Report, in April 2021, National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC (the “ NDRC ”) issued Key Tasks for New Urbanization and Urban-Rural Integration Development in 2021 (《2021年新型城鎮化和城鄉融合發展重點任 務》). Regarding rail transit, the document proposed the construction of urban clusters and metropolitan circles on the rails, acceleration of the planning and construction of intercity railways in key urban clusters such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, and support of rational planning and construction of inter-city rail transit in other urban clusters provided that conditions allow. In the first half of 2021, the NDRC issued Multi-level Rail Transit Planning in Yangtze River Delta (《長江三角洲地區多層次軌道交通規劃》), Comprehensive Transportation Development Plan of the Twin-City Economic Circle in Chengdu-Chongqing Region (《成渝 地區雙城經濟圈綜合交通運輸發展規劃》), approved the Fuzhou Metropolitan Area Development Plan; Nanjing City issued the Nanjing Metropolitan Area Development Plan (《南京都市圈發展規劃》), Hebei Province issued the “Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Accelerated Development of Urban (Suburb) Railways in the Metropolitan Circle”(《關於推動都市圈市域(郊)鐵路加快發展實施意見》), Shanghai’s Comprehensive Transportation Planning Announcement during “14th Five-Year” period and other policies suggest that urban express rail/urban (suburban) railway will become a new transportation mode that effectively connects suburbs/urban urban clusters, and the importance and demand of urban express rail will be greatly increased.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

With reference to the Board Letter, the Company, as a company developed around the design, survey and consultancy business for rail transit, subsequently commences to engage in construction contracting business with an aim to specifically establish a dual-major business pattern. However, the principal business of BUCZT is not the key development direction of the Company.

As also stated in the Board Letter, the Company then established BUCZT in order to expand the rail transit market. However, due to fierce competition in the product market in which BUCZT was involved, its early-stage business mainly relied on the Company’s support in its strengths in industrial chain and projects at hand, and the historical performance contribution ratio was relatively low, therefore, no material impact will be caused by BUCZT on the business development and performance of the Company.

According to the financial information of BUCZT for the year ended 31 December 2020 as set out above, for FY2020 (i) BUCZT’s revenue accounted for approximately 5.54% to that of the Group; (ii) BUCZT’s net profit for FY2020 accounted for approximately 4.26% to that of the Group; and (iii) BUCZT’s total assets accounted for approximately 3.79% to that of the Group. It indicated that there will be no material adverse impact to the financial performance and financial position of the Group should BUCZT ceases to be a subsidiary of the Company. (Note)

Optimizing the shareholding structure and capital structure of BUCZT and protect the long-term interests of the Company

With reference to the Board Letter, based on the needs of business development, the Company intends to invest resources mainly in the principal business fields such as rail transit design and engineering to improve the efficiency of resource utilization and further enhance the advantages of principal business. Given that the principal business of BUCZT is not the key direction of the Company’s development, and its low performance contribution, high cash flow pressure, and large debt scale have affected impact on the sustainable and sound development of the Company. Therefore, it is difficult for the Company to continuously invest a large amount of funds to meet BUCZT’s development requirements and the Company has not arranged capital budget to support such financing of BUCZT.

Note: the aforesaid calculations were based on the figures as stated in financial accounts of the Company and BUCZT for FY2020, not taking into account the impact of elimination on consolidation by the Company.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As advised by the Directors, upon Completion, BUCG will directly hold 35.88% equity interest in BUCZT and will become its largest shareholder, which will enhance the strategic importance of BUCZT. The abundant resources of BUCG may enable BUCZT to have more support in terms of capital and market development. According to the consolidated financial information of BUCG for the nine months ended 30 September 2021, BUCG’s total assets amounted to approximately RMB370.2 billion (including monetary fund of approximately RMB35.2 billion) and net assets amounted to approximately RMB78.3 billion.

With reference to the Board Letter, the proceeds from the Capital Increase obtained by BUCZT will be used to supplement its working capital, repay short-term borrowings, and are proposed to be used for the research and development of cloud-based train automatic operation control system, limbic system and emergency management commanding system. As confirmed by the management of BUCZT, the proposed use of proceeds from the Capital Increase is expected to reduce its financial risks and improve its profitability.

Moreover, BUCZT intends to introduce strategic investors in this financing to establish capital relationships with major customers in the market and promote market development. Meanwhile, BUCZT proposes to establish Chengke Yunchuang Enterprise Management to implement the Employee Stock Ownership Plan to effectively align the interests of employees and promote its sustainable and healthy development.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company held 60% of equity interest in BUCZT. Upon the completion of the Capital Increase, the Company will hold 30.83% equity interest in BUCZT and remain as one of the significant shareholders of BUCZT. As a shareholder of BUCZT, it enables the Company to enjoy the future development of BUCZT. Accordingly, we consider that it is reasonable for the Group to retain its interest in BUCZT to enjoy the possible benefits arising from future development of BUCZT.

Having considered the above reasons for and benefits of the Capital Increase, we are of the view that although the Capital Increase is not conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Major terms of the Capital Increase

Summarised below are the major terms for the Capital Increase, details of which are set out under the section headed “Capital Increase Agreement” of the Board Letter.

Date: 10 November 2021 Parties: (i) BUCG; (ii) Chengke Yunchuang Enterprise Management; (iii) Fuzhou Metro Group; (iv) Jiaxing Hezheng Chengzhi; (v) the Company; (vi) BUCIC; and (vii) BUCZT

Capital Increase: The registered capital of BUCZT will be increased from RMB70,000,000 to RMB136,243,500 upon the completion of the Capital Increase. Pursuant to the Capital Increase Agreement, BUCG, Chengke Yunchuang Enterprise Management, Fuzhou Metro Group and Jiaxing Hezheng Chengzhi agreed to subscribe for 27,883,000, 17,220,500, 15,680,000 and 5,460,000 shares of BUCZT at considerations of RMB142,203,300, RMB87,824,600, RMB79,968,000 and RMB27,846,000, respectively.

Basis of Consideration:

With reference to the Board Letter, on 24 August 2021, the Capital Increase project of BUCZT was officially publicly tendered on the China Beijing Equity Exchange in accordance with the relevant regulations on supervision of state-owned assets. The initial price at the public tender is RMB5.10 per share. The deadline for public tender of the Capital Increase project was 25 October 2021. On 26 October 2021, China Beijing Equity Exchange sent the “Opinions on the Qualification Review of Prospective Investors” (《意向投資方資 格審核意見書》) to BUCZT, informing BUCZT that Fuzhou Metro Group and Jiaxing Hezheng Chengzhi submitted the Investment Application (《投資申請書》) and relevant materials during its public tender, and the two companies met the qualifications of the prospective investors after the qualification review. Therefore BUCZT solicited through public tender on China Beijing Equity Exchange and identified Fuzhou Metro Group and Jiaxing Hezheng Chengzhi as investors of the Capital Increase in accordance to relevant regulations, and determined the price of the Capital Increase (being RMB5.10 per Share). The price of Capital Increase of Chengke Yunchuang Enterprise Management and BUCG was determined with reference to the price of the Capital Increase of Fuzhou Metro Group and Jiaxing Hezheng Chengzhi. The price of the Capital Increase was determined based on the assessed value of net assets of BUCZT as of 31 May 2021, which has filed with the state-owned asset supervisory and management authorities, and shall not be lower than that assessed value.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The Appraised Value

To assess the fairness and reasonableness of the price of the Capital Increase (i.e. RMB5.10 per Share), we obtained and reviewed the Valuation Report. We noted from the Valuation Report prepared by the Valuer that the Appraised Value as at 31 May 2021 (the “ Valuation Base Date ”) was RMB356,916,300.

For our due diligence purpose, we reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of the Valuer; (ii) the Valuer’s qualification in relation to the preparation of the Valuation Report; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by the Valuer for conducting the Valuation Report. From the mandate letter provided by the Valuer, we were satisfied with the terms of engagement of the Valuer. We also conducted reasonable checks to assess the relevant qualification, experience and expertise of the Valuer for the preparation of the Valuation Report.

Based on the information provided by the Valuer, we noticed that the Valuer, formerly known as China Construction assets appraisal office, was founded in 1992. In 1995, it obtained the securities industry asset appraisal qualification certificate jointly issued by China Securities Regulatory Commission and the former state asset management department, and was one of the earliest institutions engaged in securities industry asset appraisal business in China. The Valuer is a professional appraisal agency directly under the central government, standing director unit of China Appraisal Society and director unit of Beijing Appraisal Society. In 1999, with the approval of the Ministry of Finance and the former State-owned Assets Administration of Beijing Municipality, the Valuer became the first batch of large-scale central appraisal institutions to complete the decoupling and restructuring and obtain the qualification for state-owned assets appraisal and the qualification for securities industry appraisal. We also noted that the Valuer was ranked 13th according to “2021年資產評估機構綜合評價綜合得分前 百家機構名單” (2021 Asset Appraisal Institutions Comprehensive Evaluation Comprehensive Score for First 100 Institutions*) published by China Appraisal Society in November 2021.

Therefore, we were satisfied with the Valuer’s qualification for preparation of the Valuation Report.

The Valuer also confirmed that they are independent to the Group, BUCG and BUCZT.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In preparing the Valuation Report, the Valuer concluded the Valuation by discounted cash flow method under income approach. With reference to the Valuation Report and as confirmed by the Valuer, the Valuer considered each of the fundamental valuation approaches and is of the view that:

  • under market approach, the companies that are comparable to the target company or the transactions that are comparable to that being conducted are made reference to reflect the valuation of the target company. However, the Valuer could not obtain similar transaction and similar companies to BUCZT. Accordingly, market approach was not adopted.

  • under asset-based approach, the appraisal value reflects the value of the assets on the assumption that such assets were to be acquired in such conditions at the valuation base date. The prerequisites of asset-based approach are (i) the asset under valuation is in a continuous use or is assumed to be in use; and (ii) the availability of historical data. Despite that the valuation meets the conditions of asset-based approach, asset-based approach was not selected as the approach to finally conclude the Valuation due to the fact that it may not be able to reflect the comprehensive profitability and overall value of enterprises.

  • under income approach, BUCZT’s future profitability and intrinsic value were considered. The Valuer is therefore of the view that the valuation under income approach can more objectively and reasonably reflects the equity value.

We also noted from the Valuation Report that the Valuation Report was prepared by the Valuer in accordance with various requirements/standards, including 《資產評估基本準則》 (Asset Evaluation Standards – Basic Standards*) as issued by the Ministry of Finance of the PRC.

According to the 《資產評估基本準則》(Asset Evaluation Standards – Basic Standards*), (i) the fundamental valuation approaches of assets valuation include income approach, market approach and asset-based approach, and (ii) the valuer should analyse the applicability of the three fundamental valuation approaches and select the valuation methodology.

Having considered that (i) the Valuation Report was prepared by the Valuer in accordance with various requirements/standards; (ii) the aforesaid reasons for not adopting market approach and asset-based approach to conclude BUCZT’s valuation, we concur with the Valuer on the adoption of income approach for concluding the valuation.

– 49 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

As the Valuer adopted income approach to conclude the Appraised Value. In such cases, it is stipulated under the Listing Rules that the Company is required to obtain:

  • (i) a letter from the its auditors or reporting accountants confirming that they have reviewed the accounting policies and calculations for the forecast and containing their report; and

  • (ii) a report from the its financial advisers confirming that they are satisfied that the forecast has been made by the directors after due and careful enquiry. If no financial advisers have been appointed in connection with the transaction, the Company must provide a letter from the board of directors confirming they have made the forecast after due and careful enquiry.

We consider that the above stipulation of the Listing Rules could safeguard the interest of the Shareholders. We noted that (i) the Company’s auditor confirmed that in their opinion, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the Forecast (as defined in Appendix II to the Circular) is concerned, the Forecast has been properly compiled in all material respects in accordance with the Assumptions (as defined in Appendix II to the Circular) adopted by the Directors; and (ii) the Board believes that the Forecast is made after due and careful enquiry. For details of principal assumptions of the valuation, please refer to the section headed “Basis of Consideration and Valuation of BUCZT” of the Board Letter.

We also understood from the Valuer that various factors/assumptions were considered/adopted during the course of valuation, such as discount rate, risk-free rate, market expectation rate of return, etc..

  • The revenues for the forecast period of June 2021 to December 2021 were based on the orders on hand as at the Valuation Base Date and the expected orders for FY2021, minus the revenue recognised from January 2021 to May 2021. The estimated growth rates in revenue from 2022 to 2024 were based on the current development of BUCZT and the industry that BUCZT was involved in; there was no further growth on revenue from 2025.

The annualised revenue of FY2021 (by dividing the forecast revenue for such period by 7 months and multiply by 12 months) represents a year-on-year growth rate of 38% as compared to the historical revenue for FY2020.

As explained by the management of BUCZT, the expected increase in BUCZT’s revenue for FY2021 as compared to that for FY2020 was mainly due to more projects obtained by BUCZT for FY2021.

We noted that the Valuer made reference to the existing industry condition and the future industry development when assessing the growth rates applied to the forecast revenue. As mentioned above, the completed construction investment amount (for urban transportation lines) (全年共完成建設投資金額 (城軌交通)) was

– 50 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

approximately RMB628.6 billion in 2020, represent an annual growth rate of 5.5%; the length of construction-in-progress of urban transportation lines amounted to 6,798.5 kilometres in 2020, being close to that for previous year.

We also noted that the implied growth rates in revenue from 2022 to 2024 (ranging from approximately 4% to 6%) were close to the annual growth in construction investment amount (for urban transportation lines) from 2019 to 2020 of 5.5%. Accordingly, we consider that the estimated revenue from 2022 to 2024 to be justifiable.

  • The forecasted costs were mainly determined with reference to the historical cost level of BUCZT. We noted that the forecasted net profit margin for the forecasted period were at similar level as the respective historical figures for FY2020. As such, we consider that the costs of BUCZT for the forecast period were justifiable.

  • We noted from the valuation report that the Valuer adopted the discount rate of 11.54% when applying discounted cash flow method under income approach in the Valuation. The discount rate was calculated based on the weighted average of capital cost.

We noted that the Valuer used the capital asset pricing model (the “CAPM ”) to estimate cost of equity of BUCZT. In arriving at the cost of equity, the Valuer considered factors such as (i) risk free rate; (ii) expected risk premium; (iii) the systematic risk as compared to the market as a whole (�); and (iv) the specific risk premium.

For our due diligence purposes, we performed the following analyses:

  • We understood that the CAPM techniques is widely accepted for the purpose of estimating required rate of return of equity;

  • The Valuer adopted 3.60% as risk free rate, which is determined with reference to the PRC sovereign debt with remaining maturity of more than 10 years from the Valuation Base Date. We searched for the compound interest rates of the PRC’s government bonds with remaining maturity of more than 10 years from the Valuation Base Date and noted the average compound interest rate is approximately 3.91%.

  • We obtained the list of comparable companies used for the calculation of re-levered beta and searched for the beta of these selected comparable companies through Wind Financial Terminal. We noted that the beta adopted by the Valuer was in line with those as extracted from Wind Financial Terminal.

  • According to the valuation report, the Valuer adopted 7.07% as market risk premium.

– 51 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In arriving at the cost of debt, we noticed the Valuer adopted BUCZT’s weighted average interest rate, based on the interest-bearing liabilities of BUCZT as at the Valuation Base Date.

Based on the above and information/documents (e.g. explanation to key factors, calculations, etc.) in respect of the valuation provided to us by the Valuer/Company/BUCZT and having considered the Valuer’s qualification and experience, we have not identified any major factors which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the valuation (including value of the surplus or non-operating assets (liabilities)).

Having also considered our due diligence work on the Valuation Report as mentioned above, we consider the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the Valuation to be reasonable.

The price of Capital Increase (i.e. RMB5.10 per share) represents the implied value per share of BUCZT of approximately RMB5.10 per share, based on the Appraised Value of RMB356,916,300 as at 31 May 2021 divided by the registered capital of BUCZT of RMB70,000,000 as at 31 May 2021. Accordingly, we consider the price of Capital Increase of RMB5.10 per share to be fair and reasonable.

Conditions Precedent

The Capital Increase Agreement will come into force immediately upon obtaining approvals from the general meeting of the Company and BUCZT, respectively.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the conditions precedent did not fulfil.

Payment Terms

All funds for the Capital Increase shall be paid in cash. BUCG, Chengke Yunchuang Enterprise Management, Fuzhou Metro Group and Jiaxing Hezheng Chengzhi shall pay the funds for the Capital Increase to the bank account designated by BUCZT within one business day after the Capital Increase Agreement becomes effective.

Profit and Loss in the Transitional Period

The profit and loss of BUCZT during the transitional period, a period commencing from the valuation base date (i.e. 31 May 2021) to the date of completing the change of registration with industry and commerce department for the Capital Increase, shall be shared by the new and old shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings after the completion of the Capital Increase.

– 52 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

Having considered that the consideration of the Capital Increase was based on the initial price of public tender on China Beijing Equity Exchange, which equals to the minimum consideration with reference to its Appraised Value (by income approach) as at 31 May 2021; and the profit or loss from Valuation Base Date to the completion date was considered in the process of the Appraised Value, we consider the arrangement for profit and loss to be reasonable.

Having reviewed and considered the terms of the Capital Increase, in particular the key terms as listed above (including the consideration for the Capital Increase being fair and reasonable; and no abnormal term observed) and that the terms also applied to the strategic investors who are Independent Third Parties, we are of the view that the terms of the Capital Increase are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable.

Possible financial effects of the Capital Increase

Upon the completion of the Capital Increase, BUCZT will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and become an associate of the Company and therefore, its financial results upon the completion of the Capital Increase will not be consolidated in the financial statements of the Company.

After deducting the expenses for the Capital Increase, it is expected that no gains or losses will be recorded by the Company from the Capital Increase. Please refer to the section headed “Financial Impact of the Transactions Contemplated under the Capital Increase on the Group” for further financial impact of the Group due to the Capital Increase.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon completion of the Capital Increase.

Recommendation on the Capital Increase

Having taken into account the above factors and reasons, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms of the Capital Increase are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable; and (ii) although the Capital Increase is not conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Capital Increase and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.

B. THE THIRD AMENDMENTS

Background of the Third Amendments

Reference is made to the Existing Non-competition Agreement, which is the noncompetition agreement entered into by BUCG and the Company on 24 January 2014 as amended by the Supplemental Agreement I to the Non-competition Agreement signed by BUCG and the Company on 16 June 2014 and the Supplemental Agreement II to the Non-competition Agreement entered into by BUCG and the Company on 29 October 2015.

Upon the completion of the Capital Increase, the Group will no longer engage in the Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit (as defined below), and there will be no overlapping business between BUCZT and the Group.

As the Company’s principal business is the provision of design, survey and consultancy services for rail transit engineering and the construction contracting business, the Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit of the Company were carried out by BUCZT before the completion of the Capital Increase, and there was no other subsidiary of the Company engaged in such business. The Group will also not engage in such business after entering into the Supplemental Agreement III to the Non-competition Agreement. Currently, the Group has no intention to engage in such business, but if the Group wishes to do so in the future, the Company will comply with the relevant regulations, including further amendments to the Existing Non-competition Agreement. Given that the core businesses of BUCZT, namely Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit (as defined below), is not the key development and investment direction of the Company, the Company and BUCG have agreed to revise the Existing Non-competition Agreement to further clarify that the core businesses of the Company will exclude Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit (as defined below) and after BUCZT ceases to be a subsidiary of the Company, it can continue to engage in Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit (as defined below) without being restricted by the Existing Non-competition Agreement.

  • II. The title of Article 3 of the Existing Non-competition Agreement is revised to “Article 3 Undertakings by the Parties” and the following content is added after Article 3.8 as Article 3.9:

“When the Company is engaged in rail transit related businesses, if the inseparable part of the businesses involves “Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit”, subject to not violating the relevant requirements of the construction unit and relevant laws and regulations such as bidding, the Company or its subsidiaries will give priority to subcontracting these businesses to BUCZT, a company owned by BUCG, under the same conditions.”

Save for the abovesaid amendments, other terms of the Non-competition Agreement shall remain unchanged.

Reasons for and benefits of the Third Amendments

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

In assessing the fairness and reasonableness of the terms of the Third Amendments, we took into account the following factor:

  • (i) the Capital Increase is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the terms of the Capital Increase are fair and reasonable according to our analysis above. However, the Existing Non-competition Agreement is not applicable to the situation upon the completion of the Capital Increase;

  • (ii) upon the completion of Capital Increase, BUCZT will cease to be a subsidiary of the Company and the Remaining Group will no longer be engaged in the Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit.

  • (iii) Despite that the Group will grant priority to subcontracting the businesses (i.e. Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit) to BUCZT (the “ Priority ”), as stated in the letter of board as contained in the Company’s circular dated 13 December 2019 (the “ 2019 Circular ”), BUCG, its subsidiaries and/or associates shall provide integrated services to the Group at a price to be determined by coordinating the market factors with reference to the government-guided price, and should be in any event no less favourable to the terms and prices of same or similar type of services provided to the Group by independent third parties; and

C. THE CCT REVISION

Background of the CCT Revision

On 8 November 2019, the Company and BUCG entered into the Integrated Services Framework Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, BUCG, its subsidiaries and/or associates provide the Group with engineering construction related services, including but not limited to provision of labour, supply of raw materials, equipment leasing, proprietary technology support services and other services required by the Group to carry out its business. The Integrated Services Framework Agreement was approved by the then independent shareholders of the Company on 30 December 2019.

Upon the Supplemental Agreement III to the Non-competition Agreement becoming effective, details of which are set out in the section headed “The Third Amendments” above, when the Company is engaged in rail transit related businesses, if the inseparable part of the businesses involves “Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit”, subject to not violating the relevant requirements of the construction unit and relevant laws and regulations such as bidding, the Company or its subsidiaries will give priority to subcontracting these businesses to BUCZT, a company owned by BUCG, under the same conditions.

As such, the Company proposes to amend the Integrated Services Framework Agreement by entering into a supplemental agreement.

Reasons for and benefits of the CCT Revision

We understood that in the ordinary and usual course of business, BUCG, its subsidiaries and/or associates require integrated services including services relating to construction design, survey and consultancy, training services, project sub-contracting and/or specialised services from the Group from time to time. On the other hand, the Group also requires integrated services including engineering construction related services from BUCG, its subsidiaries and/or associates from time to time. Due to the historical and future long-term cooperation relationship between the Group and BUCG, its subsidiaries and/or associates, the renewal of the Integrated Services Framework Agreement with BUCG will standardize the mutual provision of above services between the Group and BUCG, clarify the content and operating methods of business cooperation between both parties, set out the transaction principles and pricing principles in relation to the connected transactions, standardize the operating process and specify rights and obligations of both parties.

The integration of design, survey and consultancy business and construction contracting business enables the Group to provide comprehensive business solutions covering all major stages in the value chain of the urban rail transit engineering. In view of BUCG’s rich resources and experience and relevant arrangement in the Non-competition Agreement, the renewal of the Integrated Services Framework Agreement may allow the Group to establish and maintain a continuous and stable cooperative relationship with BUCG, thereby enhancing its chances of

– 57 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

winning bids, expand the sources of revenue and consolidate and enhance the market position of the Group in the urban rail transit industry. It is anticipated that such transactions will create synergy from combining the resources and expertise of BUCG, its subsidiaries and/or associates in the provision of relevant services, and enable the Group to enhance its competitiveness.

As advised by the Directors, the transactions contemplated under the Integrated Services Framework Agreement will be conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group on a frequent and regular basis. As such, it may be costly and impractical to make regular disclosure of each of the relevant transactions and obtain the prior approval from the Independent Shareholders as required by the Listing Rules, if necessary. Accordingly, we concur with the Directors that the transactions contemplated under the Integrated Services Framework Agreement will be beneficial to the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Pursuant to the Integrated Services Framework Agreement and as stated in the board letter as contained in the 2019 Circular, among other things, BUCG, its subsidiaries and/or associates shall provide integrated services to the Group at a price to be determined by coordinating the market factors with reference to the government-guided price, and should be in any event no less favourable to the terms and prices of same or similar type of services provided to the Group by independent third parties.

Save for the abovesaid amendments, other terms of the Integrated Services Framework Agreement shall remain unchanged.

Our analyses:

1. Supplements to the service scope

As mentioned above, the services in respect of “Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit” was previously contained in the integrated services to be provided by BUCG, its subsidiaries and/or associates. Therefore, the service scope of the integrated services to be provided by BUCG, its subsidiaries and/or associates to the Group pursuant to the Integrated Services Framework Agreement essentially remains unchanged.

2. Existing annual caps pursuant to the Integrated Services Framework Agreement

Pursuant to the 2019 Circular, among other things, the Company set existing annual caps in respect of the expenditure to be incurred by the Group for provision of integrated services by BUCG, its subsidiaries and/or associates for the three years ending 31 December 2022.

– 59 –

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

We understood from the Company that BUCZT was owned by the Company as to 60% of equity interests and by BUCG as to 30% of equity interests as at the date of the Integrated Services Framework Agreement. BUCZT has been a connected subsidiary of the Company and therefore a connected person of the Company. The services to be provided by BUCZT constitute connected transaction of the Company.

Upon the completion of the Capital Increase, BUCZT will remain as an associate of BUCG and therefore still a connected person of the Company. As mentioned above, the services in respect of “Research and Development, Production, Sales and Integration Services Businesses of Products Related to the Rail Transit” was previously contained in the integrated services to be provided by BUCG, its subsidiaries and/or associates. As confirmed by the Directors, transaction between the Company and BUCZT (i.e. an associate of BUCG and a connected person of the Company before and after the completion of the Capital Increase) was/will be covered by the existing annual caps pursuant to the Integrated Services Framework Agreement, where such situation was considered by the Directors when determining the existing annual caps for the three years ending 31 December 2022. Therefore, the Directors will not adjust the existing annual caps for the three years ending 31 December 2022 as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Recommendation on the CCT Revision

Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms of the CCT Revision are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable; and (ii) the transactions contemplated under the Integrated Services Framework Agreement are conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and the CCT Revision is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM to approve the CCT Revision and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.

VII. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

According to the asset valuation standards, three approaches can be used for corporate value appraisal, namely the income approach, the market approach and the asset-based approach.

The income approach refers to the approach in which the expected return of the valuation subject shall be capitalized or discounted so as to determine its value.

The market approach refers to the approach in which the valuation subject shall be compared with comparable listed companies or transactions so as to determine the value of the valuation subject.

The asset-based approach refers to the approach in which, based on the balance sheet of the valuation subject on the valuation base date, the value of identifiable assets and liabilities in and out of the balance sheet shall be appraised so as to determine the value of the valuation subject.

As stated in the Practice Guidelines for Asset Valuation – Corporate Value , when performing any appraisal of corporate value, the suitability of the three basic asset valuation approaches, namely the income approach, the market approach and the asset-based approach shall be analyzed based on the purpose of valuation, the valuation subject, the type of value, information gathering, etc. in its selection of valuation methods.

The asset-based approach and the income approach were adopted in the valuation on the following grounds:

The asset-based approach reflects the value of an asset from the perspective of reacquisition of assets, i.e. reflecting the value of an asset by reducing various kinds of deductions from the replacement cost of the asset. The asset-based approach is to be adopted on the conditions that: First, the appraised assets are in a state of continued use or are assumed to be in a state of continued use; second, the appraised assets shall have available historical data. The subject assets in this valuation meet the above conditions.

– I-21 –

SUMMARY OF VALUATION REPORT ON BUCZT

APPENDIX I

As it cannot obtain similar market trading cases with the valuation subject and it is difficult to collect relevant financial data and information of similar listed companies in the same industry with the appraised enterprise from the capital market, the market approach is not adopted in this valuation.

The income approach is to evaluate assets from the perspective of expected profitability of assets, which can fully reflect the overall value of an enterprise. Its valuation conclusion is usually reliable and convincing. The management of the appraised entity can provide the historical operating data and the profit forecast data in the following years of the company and the profit forecast and its assets have a stable relationship. After the interview with the management of the enterprise, inspections and analysis, the valuers analyzed and believed that it meets the conditions for valuation with the income approach.

Income approach

The discounted corporate free cash flow method under the income approach was adopted to appraise the value of all shareholders’ equities, which is composed of the value of operating net assets arising from normal operating activities and the value of non-operating net assets irrelevant to normal operating activities. The discounted free cash flow model was adopted in determining the value of operating net assets. The basic formula is as follows:

E=B-D

Where: E: Value of all shareholders’ equities of the valuation subject; B: Corporate value of the valuation subject; D: Value of interest-bearing debts of the valuation subject. Where B: The model for the corporate value of the valuation subject is:

B=P+ΣC i

Where: P: Value of operating assets of the valuation subject;

P=Σn Ri R n+1 i=1[+] (1+r)[i-0.5] r(1+r)[n-0.5] Ri: Expected income (free cash flow) of the valuation subject for the i-th year in the future; r: Discount rate;

LETTER FROM THE REPORTING ACCOUNTANT OF THE COMPANY ON VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

10 December 2021

The Directors

Beijing Urban Construction Design & Development Group Co., Limited 5 Fuchengmen North Street, Xicheng District, Beijing, China

Dear Sirs,

We have been engaged to report on the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the discounted cash flow forecast (the “Forecast”) on which the valuation dated 15 September 2021 prepared by Beijing Guorongxinghua Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. in respect of equity interest in Beijing Urban Construction Zhikong Technology Co., Ltd. (the “Target”) as at 31 May 2021 is based. The valuation is set out in the announcement of Beijing Urban Construction Design & Development Group Co., Limited (the “Company”) dated 10 November 2021 (the “Announcement”) in connection with the capital increase in the Target and deemed disposal of shareholding interest of the Target. The valuation based on the Forecast is regarded by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited as a profit forecast under paragraph 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Listing Rules”).

Directors’ responsibilities

The directors of the Company (the “Directors”) are solely responsible for the Forecast. The Forecast has been prepared using a set of bases and assumptions (the “Assumptions”), the completeness, reasonableness and validity of which are the sole responsibility of the Directors.

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“HKICPA”), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.

Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements , and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

LETTER FROM THE REPORTING ACCOUNTANT OF THE COMPANY ON VALUATION REPORT

APPENDIX II

Reporting Accountants’ responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the Forecast based on our work. The Forecast does not involve the adoption of accounting policies.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that we plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations are concerned, the Directors have properly compiled the Forecast in accordance with the Assumptions adopted by the Directors. Our work consisted primarily of checking the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the Forecast prepared based on the Assumptions made by the Directors. Our work is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

We are not reporting on the appropriateness and validity of the Assumptions on which the Forecast are based and thus express no opinion whatsoever thereon. Our work does not constitute any valuation of the Target. The Assumptions used in the preparation of the Forecast include hypothetical assumptions about future events and management actions that may or may not occur. Even if the events and actions anticipated do occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Forecast and the variation may be material. Our work has been undertaken for the purpose of reporting solely to you under paragraph 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules and for no other purpose. We accept no responsibility to any other person in respect of our work, or arising out of or in connection with our work.

Opinion

Based on the foregoing, in our opinion, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations of the Forecast is concerned, the Forecast has been properly compiled in all material respects in accordance with the Assumptions adopted by the Directors.

Dear Sir or Madam,

TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED UNDER THE CAPITAL INCREASE AGREEMENT

We refer to the valuation report (the “ Valuation Report ”) prepared by Beijing Guorongxinghua Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. (the “ Valuer ”) in relation to the valuation of entire equity interest of Beijing Urban Construction Zhikong Technology Co., Ltd. as at the valuation base date (i.e. 31 May 2021). The valuation adopted the income approach, and therefore is regarded as a profit forecast under paragraph 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

We have considered various aspects of the valuation, including the bases and assumptions of preparation of the valuation, and have reviewed the valuation responsible by the Valuer. We have also considered the letter dated 10 December 2021 issued by Ernst & Young, the reporting accountant, in relation to whether, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations are concerned, the Forecast is properly prepared based on the assumptions set out in the Valuation Report. We have noticed that the calculations of the Forecast in the valuation are accurate and comply with the bases and assumptions set out in the Valuation Report.

Based on the above, we believe the Forecast is made after due and careful enquiry.
