LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Note: The low utilization rates of annual caps for the two financial years ended 31 December 2022 and six months ended 30 June 2023 under the Integrated Services Framework Agreement are attributed to factors that certain expected projects were not approved by government for implementation as planned and some of the bids submitted were not awarded. The proposed annual caps under the Integrated Services Framework Agreement for the three financial years ending 31 December 2026 are based on projects currently obtained and expected to be obtained through tender and the aggregation of revenue to be generated therefrom, therefore, the low utilization rates of annual caps for previous years have an insignificant impact on the determination of proposed annual caps for the three financial years ending 31 December 2026.

2.2 Proposed annual caps for the three financial years ending 31 December 2026

The Company estimates that the annual caps for the construction survey, design and consultancy services as well as construction contracting services provided by the Group to Beijing Investment, its subsidiaries and/or associates, and the annual caps for the construction survey, design and consultancy services as well as construction contracting services provided by Beijing Investment, its subsidiaries and/or associates to the Group for the three financial years ending 31 December 2026 are as follows:

Taking into account Beijing Investment Company being the investment platform for the rail transit business of the government, MTR Construction (a subsidiary of Beijing Investment Company) being the management platform for the rail transit construction of the government, and the ongoing business cooperation between Beijing Investment Company, MTR Construction and the Group, the provision of construction survey, design and consultancy services and construction contracting services by the Group to Beijing Investment, its subsidiaries and/or associates may expand the income sources of the Group, consolidate and improve the market position and competitiveness of the Group in the urban rail transit industry. The provision of construction survey, design and consultancy services and construction contracting services by Beijing Investment, its subsidiaries and/or associates to the Group may also provide more professional solutions for the Group, which allows the Group to access to professional services of Beijing Investment, its subsidiaries and/or associates in segments that they enjoy more advantages, and propels the development of the Group’s whole industry chain business.

The Directors of the Company (including independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the Integrated Services Framework Agreement and the transactions thereunder have been entered into in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group and are on normal commercial terms, the proposed annual caps of the continuing connected transactions contemplated thereunder are based on sum of the project amounts of projects on-going and expected to be obtained through tender, and the terms and conditions therein and the proposed annual caps of the continuing connected transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable, and are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

4. Internal Control Measures

To ensure the Company’s conformity with the above pricing policy in relation to the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Integrated Services Framework Agreement, the Company has adopted and will continue to strengthen a series of internal control policies for its daily operation.

The Company has formulated relevant Management Measures on Connected Transactions, in accordance with supervisory requirements of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in respect of connected transactions and continuing connected transactions and with reference to actual situation of the Company, which implements strict regulation from aspects of identification of connected transactions, procedure of review and approval, report, supervision and management and related information disclosure.

The revenue of the Group decreased from approximately RMB4,612.0 million for HY2022 to approximately RMB4,518.2 million for HY2023, representing a decrease of approximately 2.0%.

The Group’s net profit for HY2023 was approximately RMB406.7 million, representing a decrease of approximately 14.5% as compared to approximately RMB475.0 million for HY2022, which was mainly attributable to the disposal of BUCZT in 2022.

The revenue of the Group increased by approximately 3.3% from approximately RMB10,258.6 million for FY2021 to approximately RMB10,600.0 million for FY2022. The primary reason of such increase was mainly due to the fact that the Company adhered to design leadership and investment pulling, continuously promoted the entire industrial chain layout of urban rail transit and resource synergy, vigorously expanded the scope of design, survey and consultancy segment, strengthened the overall promotion of production and contract performance, and continuously enhanced its service capabilities with the completion of major projects including Winter Olympics branch lines on schedule, driving the Company’s revenue to grow steadily.

As further considered the Group’s prolonged business relationship with Beijing Investment Company since 2005, we were advised that it is more likely for the Group to secure projects from Beijing Investment Company and/or MTR Construction if the terms offered by the Company are comparable or similar with those offered by independent third party service providers, as such we believe the advantageous roles and positions of Beijing Investment Company and MTR Construction may enhance the Group’s chances of winning bids and concur with the Board’s view that the entering into of the Integrated Services Framework Agreement may expand the income sources of the Group, consolidate and improve the market position and competitiveness of the Group in the urban rail transit industry.

III. Industry Overview of Urban Rail Transit industry in the PRC

In December 2022, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council issued the Strategic Planning Outline for Expanding Domestic Demand (2022-2035) (《擴大內需戰略規劃綱要 (2022–2035年)》) (the “ Outline ”). Subsequently, National Development and Reform Commission (“ NDRC ”) issued the “Strategic Implementation Plan of the “14th Five-Year Plan” for Expanding Domestic Demand” (《“十四五”擴大內需戰略實施方案》) in accordance with the Outline. The implementation plan points out that it is required to develop urban public transportation, improve slow-moving transportation within cities, and significantly increase the proportion of buses, trams and rail transit in motorized travel, as well as accelerate the construction of transportation infrastructure. In addition, it is necessary to promote the main framework construction of the national comprehensive three-dimensional transportation network, and enhance the construction of strategic key channels in the central and western regions and along the river and coast. Besides, it is important to increase the density of rail traffic in the central urban area of megacities and improve the urban road network.

Based on the official data published by China Association of Metros* (中國城市軌道交 通協會), we noted that the urban rail transit network, which has been developing by the different level of governments in the PRC for years, has been progressing rapidly. The number of cities with urban rail transit lines in the PRC as at the end of 2022 reached 55 cities with a total operating mileage of approximately 10,287.5 km, representing a compound annual growth rate of approximately 11.2% in comparison to that of approximately 6,730.3 km as at the end of 2019. In addition, as referred to a summary dated 1 October 2023 published by China Association of Metros in relation to urban rail transit network in China for the first three quarters in 2023, the number of cities with urban rail transit lines in the PRC as at 30 September 2023 amounted to 58 with a total operating mileage of approximately 10,841.6 km. In particular, the number of new cities with urban rail transit in operation amounted to 18 cities with a total of new operating mileage of approximately 493.5 km. China Association of Metros forecasts that the total mileage of new urban rail transit in operation in the PRC will exceed 800.0 km by the end of 2023.

Moreover, we also made reference to “Beijing Municipal (Suburban) Railway Functional Layout Plan (2020-2035)” (《北京市域(郊)鐵路功能佈局規劃(2020年–2025年)》) (the “ Layout Plan* ”) which was announced on 29 December 2022. The Layout Plan points out that Beijing government believes they should continue to develop existing urban rail transit in order to build a comprehensive, green, safe, and intelligent three-dimensional modern urban transportation system. As set out in the Layout Plan, the Beijing government intends to open 12 new lines before 2035, which will be divided into 14 projects with a total length of 874.0 km.

Having considered that (i) the advantageous roles and positions of Beijing Investment Company and MTR Construction may enhance the Group’s chances of winning bids as mentioned in the section headed “II. Reasons for and benefits of the renewal of the Integrated Services Framework Agreement” above; (ii) the central government of the PRC has continuously issued supportive policies to develop the urban rail transit network in different provinces and cities; (iii) Beijing government plans to introduce 12 new lines to improve its local urban rail transit lines in the medium-term future; and (iv) the number of cities with urban rail transit lines in the PRC would further increase in future, we believe the entering of the Integrated Services Framework Agreement will enable the Group to catch the potential business opportunities in future and we are of the view that the Continuing Connected Transactions are in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, and fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM MERDEKA

In order to assess the pricing standards of the aforesaid services, we have requested for three largest contracts of each of the Construction Contracting Services and the Construction Survey, Design, and Consultancy Services for each of the two years ended 31 December 2022 and for the six months ended 30 June 2023.

As advised by the management of the Company, there were only 1 project relating to the Construction Contracting Services granted by Beijing Investment Company Group in 2022 and the contract sum of sample contracts of the Construction Contracting Services accounts for more than 50% of total contract sum of similar services entered into between the Group and Beijing Investment Company Group for each of the two years ended 31 December 2022 and for the six months ended 30 June 2023. As such, we were provided a total of 7 sample contracts of the Construction Contracting Services consisting of 3 sample contracts for each of 2021 and 2023 and 1 sample contract for 2022 (the “ Construction Connected Contracts ”). Regarding the Construction Survey, Design, and Consultancy Services, the management of the Company advised that contract sum for each Construction Survey, Design, and Consultancy Services contract was comparatively less than that for the Construction Contracting Services contract and the selected 9 sample contracts of the Construction Survey, Design, and Consultancy Services represent the largest three contact sum projects for each of the two years ended 31 December 2022 and for the six months ended 30 June 2023, the contract sum of which accounts for more than 50% of each of the two years ended 31 December 2022 and for the six months ended 30 June 2023. As such, we were provided a total of 9 sample contracts of the Construction Survey, Design, and Consultancy Services (the “ Surveying Connected Contracts ”, together with the Construction Connected Contracts as the “ Connected Sample Contracts ”).

For our due diligence purpose, we were also provided 11 sample contracts that were entered into between the Group and independent third parties in relation to the provision of construction survey, design, and consultancy services as well as construction contracting services from 2021 to 30 June 2023 (the “ Independent Sample Contracts ”) comprising of (i) 2 sample contracts regarding the provision of construction contracting services and (ii) 9 sample contracts regarding the provision of construction survey, design, and consultancy services with the largest 3 contract sum for each of the two years ended 31 December 2022 and for the six months ended 30 June 2023. The management of the Company confirmed that the 2 sample contracts for construction contracting services represent all relevant services entered into between the Group and independent third parties during a period from 2021 till 30 June 2023. Although we noted that the underlying projects in the Independent Sample Contracts are unique, and are not direct identical to relevant Connected Sample Contracts resulting from the different requirement of resources to implement projects and their potential technical difficulties influenced by level of complexity, having considered the underlying projects in the Independent Sample Contracts have covered all categories of the services to be completed under the Integrated Services Framework Agreement and are principally relates to survey, design and consultancy services for urban rail transit construction, industrial and civil construction, municipal engineering, and traditional construction business under general construction contracting and other related businesses, which are in similar nature to those contemplated under the Integrated Services Framework Agreement in the past two and a half years, we consider the Independent Sample Contracts are comparable to the Connected Sample Contracts.

– 47 –

LETTER FROM MERDEKA

As such, we consider that the Connected Sample Contacts and the Independent Sample Contracts are fair and sufficient to provide us a general reference on the major terms (including the pricing policy) of previous contracts entered into between the Group and Beijing Investment Company Group (or independent third parties) for our assessment on the pricing standard of the Integrated Services Framework Agreement.

According to the Connected Sample Contracts and Independent Sample Contracts, and also through our interview with the management of the Company, we acknowledged that (i) the service fees under the Surveying Connected Contracts and the Construction Connected Contracts are generally determined by tendering process; and (ii) the service fees of the construction survey services, the design and consultancy services as well as the construction contracting services under the Independent Sample Contracts are also generally referred to tendering process.

Regarding the preparation of tendering documents and the determination of bidding price, we discussed with the management of the Company and were advised that the Group adopts the consistent pricing standard when preparing tendering documents for Beijing Investment Company Group and the independent third parties. The Company would assess the resources required for projects i.e. labour, material etc. and potential technical difficulties of the projects base on the project requirements set out in the tendering documents of the bidding project and then make reference to similar types of projects in the market or previous projects of the Group. The Company would then estimate the cost and price of each item with reference to the market price. As further advised by the management of the Company, when estimating the cost and price of the bidding project, the Group also make reference to calculation methods stated in relevant charging guidelines promulgated by the government or industry associations. For instance, for the Construction Survey, Design, and Consultancy Services with no government-prescribed price or government-guided price as mentioned above, the Group will make reference to the industry associations’ guided-price, namely, the Engineering Survey and Design Charging Standards (2002 Revised Edition) (《工程勘察設計收費標準(2002年修訂本) 》) published by The National Planning Commission of the People’s Republic of China (中華人民共和國國家計劃委 員會) for the construction survey services, and the Guiding Opinions on Charges for Urban Rail Transit Preliminary Consulting Work (《城市軌道交通前期諮詢工作收費指導意見》) issued by China Association of Metros for the design and consultancy services. Regarding the Construction Contracting Services with no government-prescribed price, the Group will make reference to the government-guided prices published in Beijing Construction Project Pricing Basis – Urban Rail Transit Project Budget Quota (《北京市建設工程計價依據 – 城市軌道交通 工程預算定額》) issued by Beijing Municipal Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (北京市住房和城鄉建設委員會) as well as the Project Cost Information (《工 程造價信息》) published by local commissions of housing and urban-rural development. Following discussion with the management of the Company, we understood that the aforementioned preparation procedure and the Group’s reference to basis of calculation announced by the governments/industry associates to prepare tendering documents for both Connected Sample Contracts and Independent Sample Contracts are in line with market practices, in addition, we noted that the Group adopted the same procedure to prepare tendering documents based on our review on the Group’s approval records on how they process tendering documents for the Connected Sample Contracts and the Independent Sample Contracts, details of which are set out in the section headed “V. Internal control measures” below in this letter.

LETTER FROM MERDEKA

In the view of (i) the charging guidelines published by the governments/industry associations that were commonly used as a reference by industry peers to determine contract sums; (ii) the adoption of the same tendering process to prepare tendering documents for both Independent Sample Contracts and Connected Sample Contracts; and (iii) the fairness and reasonableness of bidding procedure based on our review on the Group’s approval records for the Connected Sample Contracts and the Independent Sample Contracts, we consider the pricing standard of the Independent Sample Contracts are no less favourable than the pricing standard of the Connected Sample Contracts, and are of the view that the pricing standards and the principal terms of the Connected Sample Contracts are in compliance with and similar to those under the Independent Sample Contracts.

In addition, we were advised by the management of the Company that the principal terms under the Integrated Services Framework Agreement have no material change as compared to those as set out in the Existing Integrated Services Framework Agreement. As referred to the transaction principles mentioned in the summary table above, we understood that both parties are still entitled to choose the counterparties and the transactions to be carried out by both parties under the Integrated Services Framework Agreement shall be in accordance with the applicable general market practice (if any) and on normal commercial terms, which means the Continuing Connected Transactions do not restrict the Group to provide the services to contractual party (i.e. Beijing Investment Company Group) but to offer the Group an additional option that allows the Group to offer the services to contractual party if the price is competitive.

Moreover, in order to ensure the Company’s conformity with the above pricing standards in relation to the Continuing Connected Transactions, the Company has also adopted and will continue to strengthen a series of internal control policies for its daily operation. Please refer to our analysis in relation to the internal control imposed by the Group as set out in the section headed “V. Internal control measures” below in this letter.

Having considered that (i) the fairness and reasonableness of the Connected Sample Contacts and the Independent Sample Contracts as they are the largest three contracts which were entered into by the Group for each of the two years ended 31 December 2022 and the six months ended 30 June 2023; (ii) the Group’s adoption of consistent pricing standard to prepare tendering documents for both Connected Sample Contracts and Independent Sample Contracts; and (iii) the fairness and reasonableness of the Group’s bidding procedure based on our review on the Group’s approval records for the Connected Sample Contracts and the Independent Sample Contracts, we are of the view that the pricing standards and the principal terms of the Integrated Services Framework Agreement to be fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned.

LETTER FROM MERDEKA

It is noted that the Company took into account of the difference in service nature of the Construction Survey, Design, and Consultancy Services and the Construction Contracting Services and how to allocate its operations efficiently, the Company sets separate annual cap for the Construction Survey, Design, and Consultancy Services and the Construction Contracting Services when determining the Proposed Annual Caps.

As mentioned in the Board Letter, when estimating the Proposed Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2026, the Company has made reference to (i) the historical transaction amounts for the years ended 31 December 2021, 2022 and 2023 as listed out above and low utilisation rate of some of existing annual caps; (ii) the key factors affecting the Surveying Annual Caps; and (iii) the key factors affecting the Contracting Annual Caps.

As illustrated above, it is noted that the utilisation rate for existing annual caps were decreasing. The utilisation rate regarding the Construction Survey, Design, and Consultancy Services were generally low for each of the two years ended 31 December 2022 and for the six months ended 30 June 2023. Additionally, the utilisation rate for the Construction Contracting Services remained high in 2021 and 2022 but significantly decreased to approximately 26.52% for the six months ended 30 June 2023. We enquired with the management of the Company and were advised that the low utilisation rate for the Construction Survey, Design, and Consultancy Services and the decrease in utilisation rate for the Construction Contracting Services were primarily attributed to the factors that (i) certain expected projects were not approved by the local governments for implementation as planned; and (ii) the Group was not successful in winning some of the bids submitted.

We are of the view that despite of the low utilisation rate, the Proposed Annual Caps are determined on reasonable basis (detailed analysis is set out below) in order to capture the business opportunities between the Group and Beijing Investment Company Group. Also taken into account the factors and analysis mentioned below, we considered that the Proposed Annual Caps are fair and reasonable.

i. Analysis on the key factors affecting the Surveying Annual Caps

The Surveying Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2026 were determined based on, amongst other things, (a) urban rail transit survey and measurement projects; (b) urban rail transit design business; (c) urban rail transit consultancy business; (d) urban rail transit testing business; and (e) urban rail transit construction drawing review business.

In order to assess the fairness and reasonableness of the aforementioned determining factors of the Surveying Annual Caps, we obtained from the management of the Company and reviewed a list of projects in relation to the Construction Survey, Design, and Consultancy Services, which the Company has already obtained and expects to obtain from Beijing Investment Company Group during the three years ending 31 December 2026 (the “ Surveying Projects List ”). As noted from the Surveying Projects List, the Group expects that the aggregate amount of the projects obtained and to be obtained from Beijing Investment Company Group for the year ending 31 December 2026 would be approximately 317 projects, among which 269 projects are obtained by the Group, representing approximately 77.9% of total contract sum of the projects in the Surveying Projects List.

The management of the Company supplemented that the aforesaid estimated amount was determined with reference to the project scale, technical requirements and cost of manpower.

We have enquired with the Company about the allocation of the Contracting Annual Cap amount for the three years ending 31 December 2026. As mentioned above, the Contracting Annual Cap is determined with reference to the expected revenue of the Construction Contracting Services projects for each year which is estimated according to the progress and duration of the projects. The management of the Company advised that in the year 2024, the Group expects to obtain the projects through tender or it will be the initial stage for some of the newly won bid projects. For the year of 2025 and 2026, the Group will mainly focus on execution of the projects, most of the projects are in progress thus the expected revenue to be generated would be much more than that of 2024.

LETTER FROM MERDEKA

Given that more than half of the Contracting Annual Caps for the year ending 31 December 2024 is the expected revenue to be generated by the projects already obtained by the Group or are in progress and the abovementioned analysis, we considered the Contracting Annual Caps is determined on a reasonable estimation.

iii. Conclusion

Based on the above and after taking into account (a) the supportive policies regarding the urban rail transit development nationwide, 12 new lines in Beijing’s urban rail transit network in short to median future and increasing number of cities to adopted the urban rail transit systems, as detailed in the section headed “Industry Overview of Urban Rail Transit industry in the PRC” above; and (b) despite low utilisation rate, the Proposed Annual Caps will provide the Group an opportunity to undertake projects from Beijing Investment Company Group, which would increase the Group’s revenue and enhance the return to the Shareholders eventually, we are of the view that the Proposed Annual Caps are determined based on reasonable estimation and after due and careful consideration and they are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned.
