IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

A special general meeting will be convened by the Company to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Disposal by the Shareholders. A circular containing, among other things, details of the Disposal and a notice of special general meeting of the Company is expected to be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 7 March 2025 as additional time is required to prepare the relevant information in the circular.

Xinyuan Juneng is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is principally engaged in the investment and holding of wind power projects in the PRC.

Concord Wind Power is principally engaged in investing in wind and solar power projects in the PRC.


ACWA is principally engaged in the businesses of development and investment in new energy, seawater desalination and green hydrogen. Insofar as the Company is aware, as at the date of this announcement, ACWA is wholly-owned by ACWA Power Global Services Limited, a company wholly-owned by the Saudi Arabian government through the Saudi Arabia sovereign wealth fund. To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief after having made all reasonable enquiries, ACWA and its ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of the Company and its connected persons.

FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL

After the First Tranche Completion, Taiming Company will be held as to 66.67% by ACWA and as to 33.33% by Xinyuan Juneng. According to the accounting standards applicable to the Company, the Second Tranche Sale Shares will be treated as if they are being disposed of simultaneously with the First Tranche Sale Shares at a consideration equal to the Initial Second Tranche Consideration. Thus, the Group will account for as having no interest in the Target Group in its consolidated financial statements after the First Tranche Completion. After the First Tranche Completion and before the Second Tranche Completion, the Group will account for the Initial Second Tranche Consideration as an other receivables.

The Company estimates that it will recognise a total unaudited gain of approximately RMB457,224,000 from the Disposal in the financial year in which the First Tranche Completion takes place (which is expected to be 2025), being the amount equal to (i) the First Tranche Consideration of approximately RMB424,182,000; plus (ii) the Initial Second Tranche Consideration of approximately RMB212,059,000; minus (iii) the unaudited net asset value of the Target Group at the consolidated statement level as at 31 December 2024 attributable to the Company of approximately RMB179,017,000. The actual gain arising from the Disposal is subject to audit. The capital utilization fee in respect of the Initial Second Tranche Consideration (which is accrued on a daily basis at a simple interest rate of 3.5% per annum) will be accounted for as other income in each of the financial years from the date of the First Tranche Completion to the date of the Second Tranche Completion (which is expected to be 2028).

The proceeds generated from the Disposal will be used as general working capital to finance the business operation and activities of the Group within its ordinary course of business.

PREVIOUS DISPOSALS

On 15 January 2025, several wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (namely Xinyuan Juneng, Yilan Century Concord and Concord Wind Power) entered into a disposal agreement with ACWA to dispose of the 100% interest in Yilan Century Concord to ACWA, details of which are set out in the announcement of the Company dated 15 January 2025 (the "Yilan Disposal").

On 17 January 2025, several wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company (namely, Hubei Yinhe New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (湖北銀合新能源技術有限公司) ("Hubei Yinhe"), Qinghai Shunting New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (青海順遲新能源技術有限公司) ("Qinghai Shunting"),


Dachaidan Century Concord Wind Power Co., Ltd.* (大柴旦協合風力發電有限公司) and Concord Wind Power) entered into a disposal agreement with ACWA, pursuant to which Hubei Yinhe has disposed of the 100% interest in Qinghai Shunting to ACWA (the “Qinghai Disposal”) in two tranches at a consideration of RMB65,000,000 (which is subject to adjustment, the adjusted consideration expected to be not exceeding RMB68,000,000). The registration of the industrial and commercial changes with the relevant government authority and the obtaining of new business license (if any) for the two tranches of the said disposal is expected to take place before end of March 2025 and April 2028 respectively.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFIT OF THE DISPOSAL

The Group has adopted a “build and transfer” strategy, whereby the Group builds power plants and disposes of its interests therein upon completion or commencement of the operation of the power plants. The Directors consider that the “build and transfer” strategy allows the Group to fully leverage its strengths in wind and solar power plant development and power plant construction, to achieve more attractive investment returns and improve the Group’s cash flow returns, thus reducing the debt ratio to support the stable and rapid growth of the Group.

The Board considers that the terms of the Disposal are fair and reasonable, and will provide an additional capital resource to the Company so as to support other investment opportunities, and is in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

IMPLICATIONS UNDER THE LISTING RULES

The highest Applicable Percentage Ratio for the Disposal is more than 5% but less than 25%. The highest Applicable Percentage Ratio for the Qinghai Disposal is less than 5%. The highest Applicable Percentage Ratio for the Yilan Disposal and the Qinghai Disposal on an aggregated basis is more than 5% but less than 25%. As the agreements for the Previous Disposals were entered into within a 12-month period before the date of the Disposal Agreement, the Disposal and the Previous Disposals shall be aggregated under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules resulting in the highest Applicable Percentage Ratio on an aggregated basis exceeding 25% but less than 75%. Hence, the Disposal and the Previous Disposals on an aggregated basis constitutes a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and the Disposal Agreement is thus subject to the notification, publication and shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

A special general meeting will be convened by the Company to consider and, if thought fit, approve the Disposal by the Shareholders. A circular containing, among other things, details of the Disposal and a notice of special general meeting of the Company is expected to be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 7 March 2025 as additional time is required to prepare the relevant information in the circular.
