LETTER FROM THE BOARD
- III. OTHER INFORMATION RELATING TO THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND THE POSSIBLE SUBSCRIPTION FOR A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS BY CCCG
1. Implications of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds under the PRC Regulatory Requirements
The A Share Convertible Bonds to be issued by the Company may lead to the issuance of new A Shares upon the exercise of the conversion rights of A Share Convertible Bonds, the actual number of which depends on a number of factors, including the conversion price of the A Share Convertible Bonds. The Board considers that the conversion of A Share Convertible Bonds into new A Shares will increase the total share capital of the Company and hence dilute the Company’s return on equity (“ ROE ”) and earnings per Share (“ EPS ”).
According to the Articles of Association and the relevant PRC laws and regulations, the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds shall be subject to, among others, the Shareholders’ approval at the EGM and the approvals from relevant PRC regulatory authorities.
2. Implications of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds under the Hong Kong Regulatory Requirements
It is proposed that new A Shares to be issued upon the conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds will be issued under the General Mandate.
CCCG, which holds 87.89% of the A Shares and 63.84% of the Shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date, is a connected person of the Company under the Hong Kong Listing Rules. The Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds therefore constitutes a connected transaction under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and is subject to the requirements of reporting, announcement and approval by the Independent Shareholders. All existing A Shareholders are entitled to pre-emptively subscribe for A Share Convertible Bonds on a pro rata basis. No Shareholder can enjoy any privilege in the capacity of connected persons of the Company.
Mr. Liu Qitao and Mr. Chen Fenjian are both the directors of CCCG. Therefore, they are deemed to have material interests in the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds and have abstained from voting on the relevant resolution. Save for the above, no Directors are interested or deemed to have material interests in the above transaction. In addition, no Directors have abstained from voting on the other resolutions as set out in this circular.
– 15 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Board expects that the Company will maintain sufficient public float to meet the applicable minimum requirement under the Hong Kong Listing Rules. For details, please refer to the table in paragraph 4 below.
3. Recent Equity Fund Raising Activities in the Past Twelve Months
The Company did not conduct any equity fund raising activities in the past twelve months immediately before the Last Practicable Date.
4. Effect on the Shareholding Structure of the Company
Pursuant to the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan, the initial conversion price of A Share Convertible Bonds shall not be lower than (i) the average trading price of A Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date of publication of the offering document (in the event that during such 20 trading days, the share price has been adjusted due to ex-rights or ex-dividend, the price of each of these trading days before adjustment shall be adjusted with reference to the adjusted share price following the ex-rights or ex-dividend events); (ii) the average trading price of A Shares on the trading day preceding the date of the offering document; and (iii) the latest audited net asset value per Share and the nominal value per Share. The actual initial conversion price shall be determined by the Board and its authorized persons upon negotiation with the sponsor (lead underwriter) in accordance with the market conditions, which is subject to the authorization by the Shareholders at the EGM. The above complies with the principle for determining the initial conversion price stated in the relevant PRC laws and regulations.
For reference only and to illustrate the pricing mechanism, assuming the initial conversion price is being on the Latest Practicable Date, according to the pricing mechanism described above, the average trading price of A Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the Latest Practicable Date is RMB15.28 per Share, the average trading price of A Shares on the trading day preceding the Latest Practicable Date is RMB15.36 per Share, and the latest audited net asset value per Share (i.e. the audited net asset value per Share as of 31 December 2016) is RMB9.87 per Share. Therefore, the minimum initial conversion price on the Latest Practicable Date is RMB15.36 per Share, of which it is the highest amount among RMB15.28 per Share, RMB15.36 per Share and RMB9.87 per Share. For the avoidance of doubt, the actual initial conversion price shall be determined by the Board and its authorized persons before issuance, and the minimum initial conversion price on the Latest Practicable Date is a theoretical price determined according to the pricing mechanism, which is for illustration purpose only. Using the minimum initial conversion price of RMB15.36 per Share and given the total size of A Share Convertible Bonds will not be more than RMB20 billion, the maximum number of A Shares to be converted would be 1.302 billion A Shares.

Upon occurrence of any of the abovementioned changes in Shares and/or Shareholder’s interests, the Company will adjust the conversion price in accordance with the methods determined, and an announcement in relation to the adjustment of the conversion price shall be made on the media designated by the CSRC for information disclosure of listed companies. Please also refer to the sections headed “8. Determination and adjustment of the conversion price” and “9. Terms of downward adjustment to conversion price” on pages 58 to 60 in Appendix I of this circular for details on the calculation of interests.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
5. Reasons and Benefits for the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds
The Directors believe that following the completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (including the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG), the Company will further expand its net assets, enhance its ability to resist risks, and consolidate the capital foundation for the sustainable development of its various business lines, which is beneficial to the Company’s core competitiveness building-up and strategic objective achievement.
In recent years, the Company has maintained its fast pace of business development with abundant business reserves and increasing number of deals. Following the Company’s strategic transformation, the financial demands grew and asset-liability ratio rose, which has risen the debt financing costs and will be detrimental to the future development of the Company. Therefore, the Company is required to improve its capital structure through equity type financing, such as the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds.
Convertible bonds, as a financing instrument combining the characteristics of both shares and debts, have a long conversion period, thus being more acceptable to the investors and a more realistic choice for the Company to replenish its capital. In addition, investors are better able to benefit from their investments in convertible bonds than other equity financing tools because, with convertible bonds, the investors have the flexibility to control the timing of the conversion and profit when share prices rise above the conversion price.
When the convertible bonds are issued, the Company will pay the coupon in the short term. However, since the interest rate of the convertible bonds is comparably low, the issuance could hardly increase the Company’s financial costs. After the conversion of the convertible bonds, the Company will further reduce its asset-liability ratio, improving its capital structure, enhancing its capital operation efficiency, effectively alleviating its financial cost pressures, and further releasing its growth potential. Meanwhile, the Proposed Issuance of Convertible Bonds will also help the Company to raise funds to support its major businesses, including the infrastructure investment projects and relevant equipment purchase, which will in turn enhance the Company’s overall efficiency and profitability.
In addition, the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG also demonstrates the confidence CCCG places in the Company and its support to the development of the Company’s business, which is conducive to enhancing the market image of the Company and stabilizing the trading price of the Company’s Shares.

Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG” of Section II of this letter in its capacity as the existing A Shareholder of the Company, the Company will fully comply with the applicable connected transaction announcement disclosure requirements under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

In the event that the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds has not been completed within 12 months after such date, the Company will resubmit the resolutions to the general meeting for consideration and approval in respect of the new validity term of A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan and authorization period, which shall be a 12 months period after the approval at such general meeting.

Dear Sirs,
CONNECTED TRANSACTION: POSSIBLE SUBSCRIPTION FOR A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS BY CCCG
INTRODUCTION
We refer to our appointment as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG. Details of the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan are set out in the circular issued by the Company to the Shareholders dated 3 November 2017 (the “ Circular ”), of which this letter forms part. Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular.
Pursuant to the General Mandate granted to the Board to issue new Shares at the 2016 annual general meeting of the Company on 16 June 2017, the issuance of each of the A Shares and/or H Shares of the Company shall not exceed 20% of the number of the respective A Shares and/or H Shares as at the date which the relevant resolutions were approved. The Board proposes to issue A Share Convertible Bonds under the aforesaid General Mandate with a total amount not exceeding RMB20 billion.
All existing ordinary A Shareholders are entitled to pre-emptive rights to subscribe for the A Share Convertible Bonds to be issued on a pro rata basis. It will be proposed at the EGM to authorise the Board and its authorised persons to determine the actual amount to be preferentially allocated in accordance with the actual market conditions before the issuance, and shall be disclosed in the offering document of the A Share Convertible Bonds. CCCG, as an existing A Shares Shareholder, is accordingly entitled to the pre-emptive rights to subscribe for A Share Convertible Bonds under the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan in proportion

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY
to its shareholding in A Shares. Based on the maximum issuance size of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (i.e. RMB20 billion) and the shareholding percentage of CCCG in the A Shares of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date (i.e. approximately 87.89%), the maximum subscription amount under the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG shall be approximately RMB17.579 billion.
CCCG is the controlling shareholder of the Company holding approximately 63.84% interest of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date. It is therefore a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. As such, the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG constitutes a connected transaction for the Company and is subject to the reporting, announcement, circular and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under the Hong Kong Listing Rules.
The Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors, namely Mr. Liu Zhangmin, Mr. Leung Chong Shun and Mr. Huang Long, has been established to advise the Independent Shareholders on the terms of the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG and to make a recommendation as to voting. We, Somerley Capital Limited, have been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in the same regard.
We are not associated with the Company, CCCG or their respective core connected persons, close associates or associates and accordingly are considered eligible to give independent advice on the above matters. Apart from normal professional fees payable to us in connection with this or similar appointments, no arrangement exists whereby we will receive any fees or benefits from the Company, CCCG or their respective core connected persons, close associates or associates.
In formulating our opinion, we have reviewed, among other things, the proposal in relation to the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, the interim report of the Company for the six months ended 30 June 2017 (the “ 2017 Interim Report ”), the annual reports of the Company for the years ended 31 December 2016 (the “ 2016 Annual Report ”) and 31 December 2015, the announcement of the Company in relation to the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG dated 26 September 2017 (the “ Announcement ”) and the information as set out in the Circular.

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY
PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED
In formulating our opinion and recommendation, we have considered the principal factors and reasons set out below:
1. Information of the Group
(a) Business
The Company was initiated and founded by CCCG. The Company’s H Shares (stock code: 1800) were listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2006. The Company’s A Shares (stock code: 601800) were listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2012.
The Group’s principal business includes primarily infrastructure construction, infrastructure design, dredging, manufacturing of heavy machinery and other business. The infrastructure construction operation is the major contributor to the Group’s revenue and profits. The infrastructure construction operation includes infrastructure construction of ports, roads, bridges and railways in the PRC and other regions (including countries in Africa, South East Asia, Australia and Middle East). The infrastructure construction operation is the core business segment of the Group, accounting for more than 80% of the total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2016 and for the six months ended 30 June 2017. The infrastructure design operation represents infrastructure design of ports, roads and bridges. The dredging operation includes capital dredging, maintenance dredging, environmental dredging and reclamation and related supporting projects. The heavy machinery operation comprises research and development and manufacture of products such as container cranes, loading/unloading machinery, marine engineering equipment, heavy-duty steel structure and road construction machinery. In September 2017, the shareholders of the Company approved the disposal of 29.99% of equity interest in Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. (the “ Disposal ”), which represents the heavy machinery operation of the Company, to CCCG at a consideration of approximately RMB5,716.4 million, subject to the relevant approvals from the state-owned asset supervision and administration authorities. Upon the Disposal, the results of the heavy machinery segment will no longer be consolidated into the Company’s financial statements.

As shown above, revenue of the Group recorded an increase from approximately RMB366,042 million for the year ended 31 December 2014 to approximately RMB429,972 million for the year ended 31 December 2016, representing a compound annual growth rate (“ CAGR ”) of approximately 8.4%.

2. Information of CCCG
CCCG is a state-owned enterprise established under the laws of the PRC and the controlling Shareholder of the Company, holding approximately 63.84% interest in the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date.

3. Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Proposed Subscription of A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG
(a) Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds
As set out in the letter from the Board in the Circular, the Directors believe that following the completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (including the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG), the Company will further expand its net assets, enhance its ability to resist risks, and consolidate the capital foundation for the sustainable development of its various business lines, which is beneficial to the Company’s core competitiveness building-up and strategic objective achievement.
Moreover, the Group has identified several favourable factors which could foster the demand for the infrastructure business of the Group. Details of each of these factors are set out in the section headed “II. The necessity and feasibility of project implementation” in Appendix III to the Circular. Also, as set out in section headed “III. The particulars of the use of proceeds towards the investment projects” in Appendix III to the Circular, six infrastructure investment projects with a total investment amount of approximately RMB38,760.6 million have been awarded to the Group. It is currently expected that part of the proceeds from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds amounting to
– 31 –
LETTER FROM SOMERLEY
approximately 12,165.5 million will be applied to these six projects. The remaining balance of the proceeds of approximately 7,834.5 million will be used to fund the purchases of engineering ships and engineering mechanical equipment. With the rapid increase in number of infrastructure projects available and already undertaken by the Group and the objective to enhance the operation capacity of the Group, it is expected that additional funding is required to cope with the financing requirements of these infrastructure projects and expanding operation capacity.
The Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG also demonstrates the confidence CCCG places in the Company and its support to the development of the Company’s business, which is conducive to enhancing the market image of the Company and stabilising the trading price of shares of the Company.
Further details of the reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds are set out in the section headed “5. Reasons and benefits for the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Possible Subscription of A Share Convertible Bonds” in the letter from the Board in the Circular and the section headed “II. The necessity and feasibility of project implementation” in Appendix III to the Circular.
Having considered the above, we concur with the management of the Group to leverage on favourable market conditions and the Company’s expertise to expand the business scale and lay solid foundation for the long-term business development of the Group and to obtain additional funding to cope with the expansion of business.
(b) Use of proceeds
As set out in Appendices II and III to the Circular, the net proceeds of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds is intended to be used for, among others, (i) as to approximately RMB12.2 billion in investment in infrastructure construction business in Guangxi, Xinjiang, Wuhan, Wenzhou, Chongqing and Fuzhou with total estimated investment value of approximately RMB38.8 billion; and (ii) as to approximately RMB7.8 billion in purchasing the engineering ships and engineering mechanical equipment to develop the infrastructure construction business.
As noted above, despite the Group possessed cash and cash equivalents of approximately RMB100.6 billion as at 30 June 2017, we are advised by the management of the Group that the cash of the Group is substantially committed to support its daily production and operation. In addition, the Group recorded net cash used in operating activities and investing activities for the year ended 31 December 2016 and for the six months ended 30 June 2017 of approximately RMB9.0 billion and RMB22.3 billion respectively. Furthermore, the net current assets of the Group reduced from approximately RMB19.7 billion as at 31 December 2015 to approximately RMB13.2 billion as at 31 December 2016 and further dropped to approximately RMB11.0 billion as at 30 June 2017. The current ratio of the Group as at 30 June 2017 was merely 1.02 times. Having considered: (i) the cash needed to sustain the Group’s existing operation and
– 32 –
LETTER FROM SOMERLEY
investment projects, including the significant growth in the value of new contracts entered into by the Group; (ii) the existing low liquidity of the Group; and (iii) the intention to enter new investment projects in infrastructure construction business and further development of the infrastructure construction business, it is considered reasonable to obtain additional funding to finance the Group’s future development.
(c) Financing alternatives
As advised by the management of the Group, apart from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, they have explored various fund raising alternatives.
Fund raising by way of new share placement will create immediate dilution on the existing Shareholders. It is also common that the investors will request for a discount of the new share placement price to the prevailing market price of the Shares, whereas the initial conversion price of the A Share Convertible Bonds (to be determined based on the pricing formula under the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan) is expected to be a significant premium (based on the A Share price as at the Latest Practicable Date) over the prevailing market price of the H Shares. Fund raising through rights issue or open offer has similar issue as new share placement and it may also attract a higher transaction cost (such as underwriting and other fees) and dilution effect on those non-participating Shareholders will usually be greater as compared to new share placement and issue of convertibles. On the other hand, fund raising by way of issuing the A Share Convertible Bonds incurs lower transaction cost and is more effective given the higher market price of the A Shares and there will be less dilutive effect on the non-participating Shareholders.
The management of the Group have also considered the possibility of obtaining new banking facilities on top of the existing bank and other borrowings. However, debt financing by bank loan and other borrowings methods will usually incur higher interest expense as compared to convertible bonds given the potential upside offered by convertible bonds. As advised by the management of the Group, the interest rate of the available bank loan of the Company is expected to be significantly higher than the coupon rate of convertible bonds.
Issuing H Shares convertibles has also been explored but it was considered less desirable given (i) the prevailing market price of H Shares has been substantially lower than that of A Shares; and (ii) the intended use of proceeds of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds is investing in projects in the PRC which are denominated in RMB.
Having considered the advantages and disadvantages of equity financing and debt financing alternatives to issuing convertible bonds, we concur with the management of the Group that the Proposed Issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds is acceptable and that, after taking into account our other analysis as set out in this letter, the Proposed Issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY
As set out above, similar to the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan, certain terms of the Comparable Transactions, such as initial conversion price and interest rates, were not fixed and would be determined subsequently at the time of publication of offering document, subject to the then market conditions. A number of terms, including downward adjustment to the conversion price, redemption upon maturity and terms of sale back, of the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan may be slightly different from but are no less favourable than those of the Comparable Transactions in general. In view of the above, we are in the opinion that the terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds are in line with the general market terms of the Comparable Transactions.
6. Financial effects of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds on the Group
(a) Earnings
As set out in Appendix IV to the Circular – The dilution of immediate returns by the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the remedial measures to be adopted, upon the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, the number of the Company’s outstanding dilutive potential ordinary Shares will increase. In the event that the A Share Convertible Bonds were issued and converted, the earnings per Share will decrease.
In addition, the Company will be required to pay interest to the A Share Convertible Bond Holders whose A Share Convertible Bonds have not been converted. The earnings of the Group will be reduced by the interest expense arising from the issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds.
Shareholders are reminded that the actual impact of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds shall be determined with reference to various factors such as the actual interest rate of A Share Convertible Bonds, the actual number of Shares to be issued under the A Share Convertible Bonds and the incremental earnings from utilising the net proceeds of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds in the operations of the Group.
(b) NAV
Upon the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, as advised by the management of the Group, the A Share Convertible Bonds will be accounted for in two separate components in the Group’s statement of financial position, comprising a liability component and an equity component, at initial recognition. The liability component will be determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond and will be recorded as a non-current liability at initial recognition. The difference between the net proceeds from the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the liability component will be recognised as the equity component and included in the Shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, there will be a positive impact on the NAV of the Group.
Shareholders are reminded that the actual positive impact on the NAV of the Group shall be determined with reference to the valuation of the equity component of the A Share Convertible Bonds.
– 48 –
LETTER FROM SOMERLEY
(c) Liquidity
As at 30 June 2017, the Group had cash and bank balances of approximately RMB100,608 million and net current assets (i.e. total current assets less total current liabilities) of approximately RMB10,990 million. As advised by the management of the Group, the net proceeds from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds will not be included in the cash and cash equivalents of the Group given the net proceeds will be used for specific purposes. On this basis, the cash balance is not anticipated to have any change but the net proceeds from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds is expected to improve the net current asset position of the Group as the A Share Convertible Bonds have a term of 6 years and a significant portion of the A Share Convertible Bonds will therefore be classified as a non-current liability.
(d) Gearing
As at 30 June 2017, the Group’s gearing ratio, being net debt (i.e. total borrowings of approximately RMB292,177 million less cash and cash equivalents of approximately RMB100,608 million) divided by total capital (i.e. total equity of approximately RMB194,772 million plus net debt of approximately RMB191,569 million), was approximately 49.6%. Upon the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, both net debt and total capital of the Group are expected to increase and the change of the gearing ratio will be depending on the proportions of liability component and equity component of the A Share Convertible Bonds. If liability component exceeds equity component, the gearing ratio of the Group will increase upon the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, and vice versa. Having said the above, given the maximum size of RMB20 billion, the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds is not expected to have any significant impact on the gearing ratio of the Group.
7. Potential dilution effect on the shareholdings of the Independent Shareholders
As set out in the letter from the Board, by applying the Indicative Initial Conversion Price of approximately RMB15.36 per A Share and the maximum size of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds of RMB20 billion, the maximum number of A Shares to be issued will be 1,301,933,845. As set out in the paragraph (xiii) headed “Subscription arrangement for the existing Shareholders” in the section 4 headed “Principal terms of the Proposed Issuance A Share Convertible Bonds”, the existing ordinary A Shareholders are entitled to the pre-emptive rights to subscribe for A Share Convertible Bonds to be issued, it is therefore possible for the existing ordinary A Shareholders to fully subscribe for the A Share Convertible Bonds.

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY
Set out below is the shareholding structure of the Company as at the Latest Practicable Date and upon completion of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (assuming all the A Share Convertible Bonds are subscribed by the existing ordinary A Shareholders and the full conversion of the A Shares Convertible Bonds into A Shares at the Indicative Initial Conversion Price):
| Name of Shareholder A Shares Non-public CCCG Public A Shares held by the public Shareholders Total issued A Shares H Shares Public H Shares held by the public Shareholders Total issued H Shares Total issued Shares |
(i) As at the Latest Practicable Date Number of Shares As a percentage of total issued Shares 10,325,207,306 63.84% 1,422,028,119 8.79% 11,747,235,425 72.63% 4,427,500,000 27.37% 4,427,500,000 27.37% 16,174,735,425 100.00% |
(ii) Immediately after completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (assuming the full conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds into A Shares at the Indicative Initial Conversion Price) Number of Shares As a percentage of total issued Shares 11,469,539,258 65.63% 1,579,630,012 9.04% 13,049,169,270 74.67% 4,427,500,000 25.33% 4,427,500,000 25.33% 17,476,669,270 100.00% |
(ii) Immediately after completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (assuming the full conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds into A Shares at the Indicative Initial Conversion Price) Number of Shares As a percentage of total issued Shares 11,469,539,258 65.63% 1,579,630,012 9.04% 13,049,169,270 74.67% 4,427,500,000 25.33% 4,427,500,000 25.33% 17,476,669,270 100.00% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 74.67% 25.33% |
|||
| 25.33% 100.00% |
As shown in the table above, the shareholding of the existing H Share public Shareholders will decrease from approximately 27.37% to approximately 25.33% immediately after completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and assuming the full conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds into A Shares at the Indicative Initial Conversion Price, it represents a dilution by approximately 2.04%. Although the shareholding interest of the existing H Share public Shareholders will be diluted, having taken into account, among others, (i) CCCG already has a majority control of the Company and shall remain as the single largest Shareholder; (ii) the potential benefits to be brought forth by the Proposed Issuance of
– 50 –
LETTER FROM SOMERLEY
A Share Convertible Bonds as mentioned in the section 3 headed “Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and the Proposed Subscription of A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG”; (iii) the fairness and reasonableness of the principal terms of A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan; and (iv) the generally positive financial effects on the Group, we are of the opinion that the dilution effect on shareholding of the existing public Shareholders to be acceptable.
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
The Company, being a leading transportation infrastructure group in the PRC, operates a capital-intensive business providing various customers in all parts of the world with integrated solutions and services for transportation infrastructure projects in the areas of investment, design, construction, operation and management. The Company plans to further expand its operation by investing in various projects in infrastructure construction business, infrastructure design business and dredging business, which arouse genuine need of additional funding. The management of the Group has reviewed various financing alternatives apart from the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds. Fund raising involving an issuance of new Shares will have immediate dilution on existing Shareholders’ shareholding and it is often issued at a discount to the prevailing market price of the Shares as opposed to the expected premium (as compared to the pricing of the H Shares) over the initial conversion price based on the pricing formula under the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan. Debt financing will inevitably impose additional financial burden to the Group. The Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, on the other hand, is expected to replenish capital without having significant finance costs and immediate dilutive effect on existing shareholding structure.
The characteristics of convertible bonds for having a long conversion period and a combination of equity and debt nature adds on to its suitability to be a preferable fundraising instrument for the Company. In addition, the Possible Subscription of A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG demonstrates its confidence in the Company’s future development, improving the Company’s image and potentially have an positive impact on the Share price.
Similar to the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan, certain terms of the Comparable Transactions, such as initial conversion price and interest rates, were not fixed and would be determined subsequently at the time of publication of offering document, subject to the then market conditions. A number of terms, including downward adjustment to the conversion price, redemption upon maturity and terms of sale back, of the A Share Convertible Bond Issuance Plan may be slightly different from but are no less favourable than those of the Comparable Transactions in general. In view of the above, the terms of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds are in line with the general market terms of the Comparable Transactions.
The financial effects of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds are expected to be generally positive by improving the NAV and net current asset level while having insignificant increase, if any, in gearing ratio.

LETTER FROM SOMERLEY
The shareholding of the existing public H Share Shareholders will decrease from approximately 27.37% to approximately 25.33% immediately after completion of the Proposed Issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds (assuming the full conversion of the A Shares Convertible Bonds into A Shares at the Indicative Initial Conversion Price). In view of the positive factors highlighted, we are of the opinion that the dilution effect on shareholding of the existing H Share Shareholders to be acceptable.
OPINION AND RECOMMENDATION
Having considered the above principal factors and reasons, we consider that the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG, though not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and the terms of the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG are on normal commercial terms and fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned. We therefore advise the Independent Board Committee to recommend, and we ourselves recommend, the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Possible Subscription for A Share Convertible Bonds by CCCG.
Yours faithfully, for and on behalf of SOMERLEY CAPITAL LIMITED Danny Cheng Director

THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS
APPENDIX I
8. DETERMINATION AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE CONVERSION PRICE
(1) Basis for determining the initial conversion price
The initial conversion price of A Share Convertible Bonds shall not be lower than the average trading price of A Shares for the 20 trading days preceding the date of publication of the offering document (in the event that during such 20 trading days, the share price has been adjusted due to ex-rights or ex-dividend, the price of each of these trading days before adjustment shall be adjusted with reference to the adjusted share price following the ex-rights or ex-dividend events), the average trading price of A Shares on the trading day preceding the date of the offering document and the latest audited net asset value per Share and the nominal value per Share, where the average trading price of A Shares for the 20 preceding trading days = total trading amount of A Shares for such 20 trading days/total trading volume of A Shares for such 20 trading days; the average trading price of A Shares for the preceding trading day = total trading amount of A Shares for such trading day/total trading volume of A Shares for such trading day.
The actual initial conversion price shall be determined by the Board and its authorized persons upon negotiation with the sponsor (lead underwriter) in accordance with the market conditions, which is subject to the authorization by the Shareholders at the EGM.
(2) Method of adjustments to the conversion price
The conversion price is subject to adjustment upon the issuance in case of certain events which affect the share capital of the Company and lead to distribution of cash dividends, such as distribution of share dividends, capitalization, issuance of new shares or rights issue (excluding any increase in the share capital as a result of conversion of the A Share Convertible Bonds). The Company will adjust the conversion price based on the following formula:
Distribution of share dividends or capitalization: P1 = P0/(1 + n);
Issuance of new shares or rights issue: P1 = (P0 + A × k)/(1 + k);
The above two events occurring concurrently: P1 = (P0 + A × k)/(1 + n + k);
Distribution of cash dividends: P1 = P0 – D;
The above three events occurring concurrently: P1 = (P0 – D + A × k)/(1 + n + k).
Where: “P0” denotes the conversion price before adjustment; “n” denotes the rate of distribution of share dividends or capitalization; “k” denotes the rate of issuance of new shares or rights issue; “A” denotes the price of issuance of new shares or rights issue; “D” denotes the cash dividend per share; “P1” denotes the adjusted conversion price.

Such announcement will indicate the date of adjustment to the conversion price, adjustment method and suspension period of share conversion (if necessary).

(1) Authorization and magnitude of adjustment
If, during the term of the A Share Convertible Bonds, the closing prices of A Shares in at least 15 trading days out of any 30 consecutive trading days are lower than 80% of the prevailing conversion price, the Board may propose a downward adjustment to the conversion price to Shareholders at the general meeting for their consideration and approval.
In the event that an adjustment to the conversion price by the Company is made due to ex-rights or ex-dividend during the aforementioned trading days, in respect of the trading days prior to the adjustment to the conversion price, the calculation shall be based on the unadjusted conversion price and the closing price of the Shares on each such day, and in respect of the days on which adjustment to the conversion price is made and the trading days afterwards, the calculation shall be based on the adjusted conversion price and the closing price of the shares on each such day.

10. METHOD FOR DETERMINING THE NUMBER OF SHARES FOR CONVERSION
Where an A Share Convertible Bond Holder applies to convert his/her A Share Convertible Bonds during the conversion period, the formula for calculating number of the Shares to be issued upon conversion is as below:
Q = V/P, any fractional Share shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number.
In the aforesaid formula, “V” denotes the aggregate nominal value of A Share Convertible Bonds in respect of which the A Share Convertible Bond Holder applies for conversion, and “P” denotes the prevailing conversion price as at the date of application for conversion.
Within five trading days from the conversion of A Share Convertible Bonds, the Company will pay the A Share Convertible Bond Holder in cash an amount equal to the nominal value of the remaining balance of such A Share Convertible Bonds which are insufficient to be converted into one Share and the interest accrued on such balance in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Shanghai Stock Exchange and such other authorities (for the method of calculating then accrued interest, please refer to relevant information as set out in article 12 headed “Terms of redemption”).

The A Share Convertible Bond Holders can exercise their sale back rights once every year when the sale back conditions are initially satisfied according to the abovementioned agreed terms in the last two interest accrual years within the term of the A Share Convertible Bonds. If the sale back conditions are initially satisfied, but the A Share Convertible Bond Holders do not apply for and exercise their sale back rights during the sale back declaration period then announced by the Company, they shall not exercise the sale back rights during such accrual year.

APPENDIX II
As at the end of each of 2014, 2015, 2016 and the first half of 2017, total assets of the Company amounted to RMB630.388 billion, RMB731.051 billion, RMB801.463 billion and RMB857.948 billion respectively. Total assets had increased gradually during the years with the expansion in business scale of the Company.
Current assets of the Company primarily included inventories, account receivables and monetary funds. As at the end of each of 2014, 2015, 2016 and the first half of 2017, current assets represented 56.25%, 53.62%, 54.54% and 54.75% of total assets respectively, which were relatively high. The relatively high proportion of current assets is in line with the characteristics of the construction industry, mainly due to:
-
(1) With the continuous implementation of the strategic plan of “experts in five areas”, there was faster growth in infrastructure construction business of the Company, resulting in the increase in unsettled amount for completed works under inventories with higher proportion.
-
(2) As a feature of the construction industry, the Company usually adopts a credit sales policy such as installment, resulting in higher proportion of account receivables. Account receivables primarily included receivables for infrastructure construction and contracted payments for design works, receivables from dredging business and receivables from disposal of equipment and products.
-
(3) The construction industry, where the Company is operating in, is a capitalintensified industry. The Company has to maintain funds for the payment of raw materials, payrolls, contractor fees and other expenses. In addition, the Company has to maintain monetary at a certain level in its operations so as to fulfill the capital needs for daily operations. Hence, the proportion of monetary funds to total assets is maintained at a certain level. However, the monetary funds of the Company are insufficient for the growing business scale. The Company has to fulfill the capital needs for business development through various channels.
During the reporting period, non-current assets of the Company primarily included intangible assets, long-term receivables and fixed assets, mainly due to:
-
(1) Intangible assets primarily included concession, land use right, software, trademark and patent etc. As at the end of each reporting period, intangible assets grew year on year, mainly due to the increase in concessions for new BOT projects under business expansion of the Company.
-
(2) Long-term receivables primarily included long-term receivables for construction works, deposits for construction works and performance deposits etc. During the reporting period, the investment business scale increased gradually, resulting in the increase in long-term receivables.
-
(3) Fixed assets primarily included properties and buildings, ships, equipment, etc. During the reporting period, the Company maintained its fixed assets at a certain level so as to fulfill the needs for its operation management. Hence, fixed assets represented a certain proportion of total assets.

II. THE NECESSITY AND FEASIBILITY OF PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
(I) Necessity of Project Implementation
1. Regional strategic coordinated development in China brings huge room for the infrastructure business
During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the three major urban clusters of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, the Yangtze River Economic Zone and the Pan-Pearl River Delta are expected to develop in a coordinated manner, which will bring huge room for the infrastructure business. Coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region is an important strategy for inter-regional development in China. In 2016, capital investment in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region totaled RMB1,225.9 billion, up by 15.8% over the same period of last year. The accumulated investment amount during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period will reach an amount of over RMB800 million. The construction of transportation system in Yangtze River Economic Zone also is strategically important. It is expected that by 2020, the Yangtze River Economic Zone will have inland waterway mileage of 89,000 km, railway mileage of 40,000 km, highway mileage of 2,000,000 km, urban rail transit operational mileage of 3,600 km, 180 trunk line river bridges (including tunnels). It is estimated that the construction of the integrated three-dimensional traffic corridor in 2014-2020 will bring about an investment amount of RMB8.46 trillion. The Pan-Pearl River Delta region includes nine provinces, i.e. Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan, as well as the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macao, one of the most dynamic areas in China with growth potential. During the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period, the link of different modes of transport and construction of comprehensive transportation hubs in the region will be strengthened to establish a safe, low-carbon and convenient comprehensive transportation system. The investment in infrastructure will exceed one trillion during the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” period.
In light of the policy opportunities and market fundamentals, as a leading enterprise in the infrastructure industry, the Company is expected to further expand its business scale, and its capital requirements will increase accordingly. With a higher gearing ratio, the Company needs to provide long-term financial support for further business expansion through equity financing to lay a solid foundation for the business development of the Company.

APPENDIX III FEASIBILITY REPORT ON THE USE OF PROCEEDS RAISED FROM THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS
2. The construction of “One Belt, One Road” achieves phase success, with substantial infrastructure needs from countries along the routes
Countries along “One Belt, One Road” are characterized by poor infrastructure and substantial needs for infrastructure. According to the latest report from the Asian Development Bank, from 2016 to 2030, infrastructure demand in Asia will exceed USD22.6 trillion, with an average annual infrastructure demand of more than USD1.5 trillion. In 2016, 8,158 contracts were signed by Chinese enterprises for newly signed outbound contracting projects in 61 countries covered by “One Belt, One Road” with a contract amount of USD126.03 billion, representing an increase of 36% and accounting for 51.6% of the contract amount for newly signed outbound contracting projects during the corresponding period. During the same year, Chinese enterprises achieved a total turnover of USD759.7 billion in countries along “One Belt, One Road”, representing an increase of 9.7% and accounting for 47.7% of the total turnover during the corresponding period. With the successful convening of the Belt and Road Forum in May 2017, relevant supportive policies are in place to accelerate the procurement of orders from overseas construction enterprises, leading to a constant increase in overseas orders. Under the “One Belt, One Road” policy, the central government-led infrastructure enterprises witness significant growth in their overseas business with increasing share of contribution.
With the favorable policy advantages arising from the “One Belt, One Road” policy, the growth rate in orders of the Company’s overseas business accelerates, and the business scale will be significantly expanded. In 2016, the growth rate of overseas orders of the Company was 43.2%, which was higher than that of domestic orders, and the proportion of overseas business also increased to approximately 30%. Therefore, the Company has an urgent need for equity financing to provide long-term financial support for the rapid expansion of overseas business.
3. The promotion of PPP model brings immense opportunities for the development of infrastructure business
Since the kick-off of the supply side reform in 2015, with the gradual standardization of debt financing by local governments, the PPP model revolutionizes the investment and financing system through the introduction of private capital, and changes the long-term reliance on the government in promoting infrastructure construction. To facilitate urban development, with strong support of the central policy, the provincial and municipal governments have issued supportive documents one after another, thus actively expanding the financing channels for urban infrastructure and public utilities construction and promoting the use of PPP model to introduce domestic enterprises with construction and investment capacity to carry out construction and development of local projects. By leveraging the respective advantages of government and social capital, the government charging period of financial facilities is extended in a reasonable manner to reduce the annual direct investment pressure on the government while improving the quality and efficiency of public municipal facilities.
– 109 –
APPENDIX III FEASIBILITY REPORT ON THE USE OF PROCEEDS RAISED FROM THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS
During the recent years, the Company has been actively developing BOT and other businesses to seize the opportunities brought by the rapid development of the PPP model and strive to become an integrated investment and operation service provider of PPP model projects covering the full life cycle of transportation infrastructure services including investment, design, construction, operation and management. Since the beginning of 2016, the business scale of BOTs newly undertaken by the Company has gradually surpassed the traditional business. As the project reserves are abundant and the number of projects in operation is relatively huge, with a constant high gearing ratio, the Company has an urgent need for equity financing to facilitate the smooth implementation of the projects.
4. The rapid growth of the Company’s infrastructure business puts forward higher requirements for engineering ships and mechanical equipment
Pursuant to a series of national policies including the Outline of the National “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” (《國家「十三五」規劃綱要》) and the Notice on “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” of Modern Comprehensive Transportation System Issued by the State Council (Guo Fa [2017] No. 11) (《國務院關於印發「十三五」現代綜合交通運 輸體系發展規劃的通知》(國發[2017]11號)), the Opinions on Promoting the Continuous Healthy Development of the Construction Industry (Guo Ban Fa [2017] No. 19) (《關於 促進建築業持續健康發展的意見》(國辦發[2017]19號)), the Notice on the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” of Engineering Survey and Design Industry Development issued by the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development (Jian Shi [2017] No. 102) (《住房城 鄉建設部關於印發工程勘察設計行業發展「十三五」規劃的通知》(建市[2017]102號)), it is expected that the investment scale of infrastructure will maintain a high growth rate in the next few years, and the fixed assets of infrastructure in rail transit, municipal administration, utility tunnels and bridges will maintain a high growth rate. The scope of the infrastructure business of the Company mainly involves the construction of roads, bridges, tunnels, railways, ports and other facilities both on a country level and international level. Leveraging on policy opportunities and the leading position of the Company, the infrastructure business of the Company will maintain rapid growth. Although the Company has seen a better improvement in the equipment structure, compared with the rapid development of market demand, investments in various types of engineering equipment can hardly satisfy the demand for engineering construction, particularly in urban rail transit, highways, submarine tunnels, sea bridges and other fields, where the competitiveness of core equipment has plenty of room for improvement. For difficult engineering project such as sea bridges and submarine tunnels, the engineering environment is complicated and the construction difficulty is relatively high. These projects have put forward more and higher requirements for engineering ships such as crane ships, semi-submersibles and sea tugs. Meanwhile, the scope of tenders of the current urban rail transit, highways and other projects is larger, and most of them include tunnels in the scope of tenders, thus putting forward more requirements on large-scale shields, digging rigs and other engineering machinery and equipment.
With the rapid increase in the number of projects undertaken by the Company, the scale of the projects has been significantly expanded. With a high gearing ratio, the Company has an urgent need for equity financing to procure various kinds of necessary engineering ships and engineering machinery and equipment to provide strong technical and equipment protection for efficient implementation of all engineering projects.

APPENDIX III
(4) Analysis on Project Benefits
The project does not generate income directly. The engineering ships to be purchased will effectively alleviate the demand for ships and equipment of the Company for its infrastructure construction projects and improve the equipment and operation capacity of the Company in construction projects, which will in turn improve the core competitiveness and profitability of the Company.
2. Purchase of Engineering Mechanical Equipment
(1) Project Investment
Pursuant to the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan”, the fixed assets and infrastructure in rail transit, municipal, comprehensive pipe gallery, bridge and other sectors will continue to maintain rapid growth in the next few years. With leading engineering capacity in rail transit, municipal and other sectors in China, the Company will undertake more projects and the projects size will expand significantly. However, as compared with the fast-growing market demand, the investment in a variety of engineering mechanical equipment remains insufficient to meet the demand of construction projects. Purchasing different kinds of engineering mechanical equipment will further improve the Company’s capacity in undertaking large rail transit and municipal projects, which will in turn improve the core competitiveness of the Company.
The total investment of the project is RMB5,372.48 million. The amount of proceeds intended to be used amounts to RMB5,372.48 million. The breakdown of investment is as follows:

In accordance with the Several Opinions of the State Council on Further Promoting the Healthy Development of the Capital Market (《國務院關於進一步促進資本市場健康發展的若 干意見》) (Guo Fa [2014] No. 17), the Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Further Strengthening the Protection of Small and Medium Investors’ Legitimate Interests in the Capital Market (《國務院辦公廳關於進一步加強資本市場中小投資者合法權益保護工作的 意見》) (Guo Ban Fa [2013] No. 110) and the Guiding Opinions on Matters relating to the Dilution of Immediate Returns in Initial Public Offering, Refinancing and Major Assets Restructuring (《關於首發及再融資、重大資產重組攤薄即期回報有關事項的指導意見》) (CSRC Announcement [2015] No. 31), the Company has analyzed the potential impacts of the public issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds on the ordinary Shareholder’s interests and the immediate returns with reference to the actual conditions of the Company and will adopt the relevant remedial measures as set out below:
I. ANALYSIS OF IMPACT OF DILUTED IMMEDIATE RETURNS ARISING FROM THE ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS
(I) Assumptions
The impacts of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds on the Company’s key financial data and indicators are estimated mainly based on the following assumptions:
-
Assume that no significant adverse changes occur in the macro-economic environment, the development trend of the industry and the operating environment of the Company in 2018.
-
Assume that the Company could complete the issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds by the end of 2017, and the funds raised from the financing would be in place. The time is only used to calculate the impacts of diluted immediate returns arising from the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds on the Company’s key financial data and indicators. The final completion time is subject to the approval of CSRC and the actual completion time of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds by the Company.
-
Assume that the Company could raise total proceeds of not more than RMB20 billion (inclusive) from the issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds (without considering the impact of issuance costs). The actual amount of proceeds raised from the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds will be finally determined pursuant to the factors including approval of authorities, subscription for the A Share Convertible Bonds to be issued and issuance cost.
– 129 –
APPENDIX IV
THE DILUTION OF IMMEDIATE RETURNS BY THE PROPOSED ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS AND THE REMEDIAL MEASURES TO BE ADOPTED
-
Assume that the conversion price of the A Share Convertible Bonds is RMB15.87 per Share, which is no less than the average trading price of A Shares in the 20 trading days or in the trading day preceding the announcement date of the resolutions of the thirty-eighth meeting of the third session of the Board, or the latest audited net assets value per Share. The conversion price is only used to calculate the impact of diluted immediate returns arising from the issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds on the Company’s key financial data and indicators. The initial conversion price will be determined finally by the Board according to market conditions before the issuance as authorized by the EGM, and ex-rights, ex-dividend adjustment or downward adjustment might be conducted.
-
Assume that the nominal interest rate of A Share Convertible Bonds is 0.2%, and it is only a simulated or estimated rate, which does not constitute the forecast on actual nominal interest rate.
-
Not consider the impacts of the proceeds raised from the issuance on the Company’s production, operation and financial conditions (e.g. financial expenses, efficiency in the use of proceeds) at the moment.
-
Assume that no significant changes in the macro-economic environment, the development of the industry and the Company’s business environment. Based on the principle of prudence, assume that the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent and the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent after deduction of non-recurring gains and losses in 2017 will remain unchanged as compared to 2016, the growth in the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent and the net profit attributable to the shareholders of the parent after deduction of non-recurring gains and losses in 2018 will be 0%, 10% and 15% as compared to 2016. The above-mentioned profit value does not represent the Company’s forecast on future profit, which is only used to calculate the impact of diluted immediate returns arising from the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds on the Company’s key financial data and indicators; and investors should not make any investment decision based on that value.
-
Assume that no factors (including profit distribution and preferred shares mandatory conversion into ordinary shares etc.), apart from the conversion of A Share Convertible Bonds into ordinary shares, will cause the changes in the ordinary share capital of the Company.
-
Earnings per Share (EPS) is calculated pursuant to relevant provisions in the Compilation Rules for Information Disclosure by Companies Offering Securities to the Public No. 9 – Calculation and Disclosure of ROE and EPS.

APPENDIX IV
II. RISK WARNING FOR DILUTION OF IMMEDIATE RETURNS ARISING FROM THE ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS
After the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and before the conversion of all bonds, the number of the Company’s outstanding dilutive potential ordinary shares will increase correspondingly; if the financial returns on raised proceeds are not taken into consideration, the diluted earnings per share for the year when the Company completes the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds and that after deduction of non-recurring gains and losses are likely to decline.
After the issuance of the A Share Convertible Bonds and before the conversion, the Company is required to pay interest to the investors whose A Share Convertible Bonds have not been converted as per the agreed nominal interest rate; as the nominal interest rate of the A Share Convertible Bonds is generally low, the profit growth due to the Company’s use of proceeds raised from issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds will exceed the bond interest paid to investors of A Share Convertible Bonds under the normal circumstances, which will not cause any reduction in the Company’s overall revenue; in extreme cases, if such profit growth cannot cover the bond interest paid to investors, the after-tax profit of the Company will face the risk of falling, hence diluting immediate returns of the Company’s ordinary shareholders.
After the conversion of all or part of A Share Convertible Bonds held by investors, total shares of the Company will increase accordingly, thus generating certain dilutive effect on the ROE and EPS of the Company.
In addition, the terms on downward adjustment of conversion price have been set forth for A Share Convertible Bonds. When the terms are triggered, the Company may apply for downward adjustment of the conversion price, resulting in the increase of total shares due to the conversion of A Share Convertible Bonds and the amplification of potential dilutive effect of the conversion on existing shareholders of the Company.
III. NECESSITY AND RATIONALITY OF THE ISSUANCE OF A SHARE CONVERTIBLE BONDS
Upon conversion, the public issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds will further expand the net assets of the Company, further strengthen the Company’s capability to resist risks, consolidate the capital foundation for the sustainable business development of the Company, and contribute to enhancing the core competitiveness of the Company and achieving its strategic goals.

APPENDIX IV
(I) Optimize capital structure
In recent years, CCCC maintained the good momentum of business development with sound growth in new projects and abundant business reserves. In the light of the stable business development and the strategic transformation of the Company, the capital needs of the Company rose significantly, and the gearing ratio also gradually increased. As at 30 June 2017, the gearing ratio of the Company reached 77.26%. The prolonged high gearing ratio not only increased the recent debt financing cost of the Company, but also harmed the long-term healthy business development of the Company. Therefore, the Company needs to improve its capital structure by equity financing, which is crucial to the stable development and successful transformation of the Company.
Upon the completion of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, although the Company will still have to pay for the nominal interest in the short term, the increment of finance costs will be limited due to the low interest rate of A Share Convertible Bonds. Upon the full conversion of A Share Convertible Bonds in the future, the Company will further reduce its gearing ratio as compared with that prior to the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, which will then in turn optimize the capital structure, enhance capital operation efficiency, mitigate the pressure on finance cost and further release the development potential of the Company.
(II) Significant increase in capital needs of the Company
In the recent business environment, the civil engineering construction industry is exposed to a variety of risks including intense competition and increasing labor costs. The Company needs to expand its capital size for accelerating business layout and structural transformation in order to capture the market opportunities arising from the rapid development of the infrastructure construction sector in China and further enhance the business scale and profitability of the Company.
In recent years, the value of new contracts of the Company sustained stable growth. With the opportunities arising from the “One Belt One Road” policy and the strength of the Company, it is possible for the Company to further expand its business scale accompanied by the corresponding increase in capital needs. The financing through the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds will provide strong financial support for the Company to further expand its business scale and lay a solid foundation for the business expansion of the Company.

IV. RELATIONS OF THE PROCEED-RAISING PROJECT WITH THE COMPANY’S EXISTING BUSINESSES, AND THE COMPANY’S RESERVES IN TERMS OF PERSONNEL, TECHNOLOGY AND MARKET FOR THE PROJECT
(I) Relations of the proceed-raising project with the Company’s existing businesses
The proceeds to be raised from the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds by the Company will finance the large construction projects such as infrastructure projects and construction projects of expressways which are closely linked to the principal business of the Company. By virtue of the issuance of A Share Convertible Bonds, the Company will further strengthen its capability in infrastructure construction, consolidate its market position, further increase the market shares of its infrastructure construction business and facilitate the continuous stable development of the Company and the industry.
- (II) The Company’s reserves in terms of personnel, technology and market for the project

V. REMEDIAL MEASURES FOR RETURNS OF THE COMPANY
- (I) The Company’s operations, development trend, major risks and improvement measures of existing business sectors
In 2013, the Company clearly proposed the strategic positioning and target of “experts in five areas”. All these sectors are the core advantaged business segments of the Company after years of development, practice and exploration. By integrating and upgrading the existing business sectors as well as reconstructing and revamping the existing value chain, the Company will strengthen its risk resistance, long-term development capability and comprehensive strength and fully utilize the potential in profitability of its core business. The Company has extensive room for development.
1. The Company’s operations and development trend of existing business sectors
As one of the Fortune Global 500 with leading comprehensive strength, the Company is principally engaged in four sectors, namely infrastructure construction, infrastructure design, dredging business and heavy machinery manufacturing. The Company enjoys a leading industry position in each of those business sectors.
In the infrastructure construction sector, the Company is the largest port design and construction enterprise in China, a world-leading road and bridge design and construction enterprise, a leading railway construction enterprise in China and the largest international engineering contractor in China. The Company directed the design and construction of a majority of the transportation infrastructure projects including coastal and inland water medium and large-scale ports and waterways, high-level main highways and large and ultra-large bridges and tunnels in China.
In the infrastructure design sector, the Company is the largest port design service provider in China and participated in the design of most of the major coastal ports in China. The Company is also a major road and bridge design service provider in China and is adept at designing expressways, first-class roads and large bridges. The Company has become the largest international design company in China. Besides, the Company has also become one of the major enterprises in the railway infrastructure design industry in China with industry leading level.

2. Major risks and improvement measures
(1) Risk of periodic fluctuations of the macro-economy
The Company’s businesses are closely related to the development of macroeconomy, especially for infrastructure design, infrastructure construction and heavy machinery manufacturing business, of which the industry development is subject to the effects of macro-economic factors including investment scale of social fixed assets and the process of urbanization. In recent years, the national economy has kept a rapid growth and the global economy has gradually come out of the shadow of financial crisis and is in the process of recovering. However, the possibility of periodic fluctuations of macro-economy cannot be eliminated in the future. If the global macro-economy is in the down cycle or the national economic growth rate significantly slows down, and the Company does not reasonably expect it and make corresponding adjustment to its operation strategy, there will be a gliding risk in the operation performance of the Group.
The Company will adhere to China’s “13th Five-Year Plan” as a whole, take the “experts in five areas” as the core strategy to grasp China’s macroeconomic trends, continue to explore the principal business of the Company. Leveraging on the rapid development of PPP model of infrastructure projects, the Company will speed up the strategic transformation and business development in the context of urbanization in China, while constantly improving the risk management system, so as to strive to minimize the impact of macroeconomic fluctuations on the Company.
(2) Risk of price fluctuations of raw materials
The Company depends on the timely procurement of sufficient raw materials such as steel, cement, fuel, sand stone and asphalt which meet the quality requirement of the Company at a reasonable price for conducting business. The market prices of such raw materials may present a certain extent of fluctuations. Appropriate arrangements on the procurement plan may be made to ensure the normal business operation. In view of the nature of the businesses being engaged by the Company, the Company usually does not enter into long-term supply contracts or guarantees with the relevant suppliers. Instead, the Company enters into procurement contracts with suppliers for specific projects with a term ranging from one to five years. On the other hand, most of the construction contracts entered into between the Company and the customers are fixed price contracts. Although some contracts have provided that the customers have to compensate to the Company for the additional costs arising from the unexpected increase in raw material price, the Company may be still exposed to the risk of profit decline or even loss for a single project in the event that the compensation from the customers cannot fully cover the increase in costs arising from shortage of supply or substantial increase in price of raw materials.

The Company will pay close attention to market changes, obtain comprehensive understanding of market information, implement response measures from procurement, construction and other aspects, conduct extensive screening of raw material suppliers, accumulate excellent supplier resources. It will also reduce production costs through technological improvements, management improvement and other means, so as to minimize the impact of increasing prices of raw materials, energy on the operating costs of the Company.
(II) Detailed measures to enhance the Company’s performance
1. Expedite the structural adjustment and upgrade of business and enhance the operation benefits steadily
The Company will base on its development strategy of “experts in five areas”, optimize the industrial structure, improve the efficiency of capital operation and reduce operating costs. At the same time, the Company will enhance its risk resistance, long-term development capability and comprehensive strength through the integration and upgrading of existing infrastructure construction-related business segments and remodelling of value chain to fully utilise the profit potential of the core business, so as to effectively expand the business scale of the Company and continue to enhance its profitability.
2. Enhance the daily operation efficiency of the Company, and improve the staff incentive mechanism

Note 1: These projects are BOT (“Build-Operate-Transfer”) projects and usually have a long operating period. The committed rate of return of a project is calculated by the | Company according to the respective cash inflows in the future operating periods of the project. These projects are still in the preliminary stage of operation, so the | Company is unable to calculate the internal rate of return as at the date of the report. The actual benefits for the last three years are operating income. | Note 2: As approved by the relevant government, the project has been changed from a toll road project into a toll free project. The government will give financial subsidies in | a regular manner. Accordingly, the project is not applicable for the assessment on whether the estimate benefits are achieved or not. | Note 3: Among the projects to be invested with the proceeds from the non-public issuance of preference shares, project 1 to project 6 are BT (“Build-Transfer”) projects, where | the actual benefits for the last three years are interest income from repurchase; project 7 to project 29 are projects with construction contracts, where the actual benefits | for the last three years are income from construction projects. | Note 4: The benefits of the proceeds used for supplementing working capital and interests generated from the accounts in which the proceeds are deposited served as standing | proceeds to supplement working capital of the projects invested with proceeds from the issuance of ordinary A shares cannot be calculated on an individual basis. The | proceeds can reduce the gearing ratio of the Company and relieve the capital pressure of the Company. The benefits of the acquisition of 1,600t revolving floating crane | (1),1,600t revolving floating crane (2) and 8 shield machines also cannot be calculated on an individual basis. Upon the acquisition of the equipment, the Company can | enhance the productivity and market competitiveness. The benefits of supplementing the general working capital of the projects invested with proceeds from the non-public | issuance of preference shares cannot be calculated on an individual basis. The proceeds can improve the financial structure and risk resistance of the Company so as to | support further business growth and consolidate the market position of the Company. |

III. SPECIFIC SELF-INSPECTION ON LAND SPECULATION
1. Basis of Self-Inspection
The existing laws, regulations, normative documents and legislation do not have specific requirements on the definition, details or applicable conditions of “land speculation”. However, according to the interpretation of the following requirements: (1) Article 39 of the Real Estate Administration Law stipulates that: “if the land use right is obtained through transfer, when transferring the real estate, the following conditions shall be met: (i) all the land use right grant fee has been paid according to the transfer contract, and the land use right certificate has been obtained; (ii) if investment and development are made according to the transfer contract, more than 25% of the total development investment has been completed for the house development project, and conditions for the industrial land or other construction land shall be provided for the development of tracts of land”; (2) Article 5 of the Guo Ban Fa [2011] No. 1 Document stipulates that: “the illegal transfer of land use rights shall be investigated and punished strictly. For the real estate development project whose construction investment is less than 25% of the total investment in projects (excluding the land price), the land and the agreed land development project shall not be transferred by any means”, the Company believes that, land speculation refers to the act of not starting construction according to the land transfer contract after obtaining the use right of the state-owned construction land and the illegal transfer of land use rights in violation of the abovementioned laws, regulations and normative documents relating to the transfer of land use rights.
Pursuant to the above, the self-inspection on the land speculation behavior of the Company and project companies during the reporting period has focused on the act of not starting construction after obtaining the land use right without the approval of the relevant regulatory authorities and selling the land use right obtained at a high price without fulfilling the conditions of land use right transfer as stipulated by laws and regulations.

According to the self-inspection of the Company, during the reporting period, the Company and the project companies did not engage in any land speculation in violation of the above requirements on illegal transfer of land use rights, did not receive any notice of administrative penalty or investigation from the relevant department of land and resources in respect of land speculation, or are not subject to the administrative penalty or ongoing investigation of the department of land and resources due to land speculation as at the date of this Self-Inspection Report.
