AMENDMENTS TO THE TERMS OF THE CONVERTIBLE LOAN AGREEMENT
Reference is made to the announcement (the “ Announcement ”) made by Concord New Energy Group Limited (the “ Company ”) on 13 December 2018 in relation to the Convertible Loan in a principal amount of US$30,000,000 to be granted by Goldman Sachs Asia Strategic Pte. Ltd. (“ Goldman Sachs ”) to the Company pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreement dated 13 December 2018. Unless otherwise specified, capitalised terms used in this announcement shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement.
THE AMENDED AND RESTATED CONVERTIBLE LOAN AGREEMENT
As stated in the Announcement, the Company granted to Goldman Sachs the option and the right to advance an additional loan of up to an aggregate principal amount of US$20,000,000 (the “ Additional Loan ”) to the Company under the Convertible Loan Agreement and the Shares (the “ Additional Loan Conversion Shares ”, together with the Conversion Shares, the “ Total Conversion Shares ”) to be allotted and issued upon exercise of the conversion right attaching to the Additional Loan will be allotted and issued pursuant to the General Mandate.
Following the publication of the Announcement, the Company received a post-vetting enquiry fax from the Stock Exchange in which it was stated, among other things, that the grant of the right to advance the Additional Loan under the General Mandate may not be in compliance with Rule 13.36(7) of the Listing Rules. In consideration of the Stock Exchange’s concerns and to ensure full compliance with Rule 13.36(7) of the Listing Rules, the Company and Goldman Sachs entered into negotiations and reached consensus on certain amendments to be made to the Convertible Loan Agreement. On 16 January 2019, the Company issued to Goldman Sachs the amendment and restatement request letter (the “ Letter ”), which was counter-signed by Goldman Sachs on the same date, to amend the terms of the Convertible Loan Agreement, which shall be amended and restated in the form set out in the schedule to the Letter (the “ Amended and Restated Convertible Loan Agreement ”).
