According to the information provided by the Target Company, it has the exclusive right to build, and operate for 30 years (excluding the construction period), the first PRC heavy-duty toll expressway designed for coal transportation in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The toll expressway will run from the Jungar Banner(准格爾旗)which is the major coal production area in Inner Mongolia towards the north east for 265 km to Xinghe County(興和縣)which is a major logistics hub for coal distribution in Northern China, and is expected to be opened to traffic in January 2013. The toll expressway is designed to sustain 100-ton trucks whereas most other expressways in the PRC can only allow 50-ton trucks.

The aforesaid expressway is a priority project under the Eleventh Five-Year Plan of the PRC, and is of strategic importance for energy logistics in Northern China, and is intended to resolve the serious deficiencies currently faced by Inner Mongolia with respect to coal distribution. The Directors consider that this project, when compared to other PRC expressway projects, has higher commercial value and once it is opened to traffic it will produce desirable cash flows and profits, and bring to the Company desirable returns.

In this announcement, the following definition applies:
