REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROVISION OF THE GUARANTEES

The operation of coking facility in Qingshuihe County, Hohhot, Inner Mongolia of Risun China Gas was suspended prior to August 2019. Subsequently, the Group invested in Risun China Gas by way of capital injection and resumed the operation of the coking facility of Risun China Gas. With the Group’s continuous effort to optimize the operation of Risun China Gas over the past three years, Risun China Gas has seen improvements in its financial position. The Company expects that the newly constructed coking projects of Risun China Gas will gradually commence operation in the second half of this year and will increase the Group’s coke production. This will generate considerable investment return to the Group in the long run, thereby bringing profit to the Group and return to the Company’s shareholders. In addition, the new coking projects invested by Risun China Gas is in accordance with the new production capacity targets, and therefore exhibits tremendous future development potential and commercial value under the climate action goals of “striving to achieve peak carbon dioxide emissions before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060”.

– 7 –

Given that the finance costs of the Group range from 1.82% to 12.00% per annum in general with an average of approximately 6% per annum, the Directors are of the view that the interest rates per annum agreed for the seventh to the ninth facilities are appropriate based on the financial position of Risun China Gas. At present, the seventh to the ninth facilities are critical to the on-going new coking projects of Risun China Gas and will assist Risun China Gas in obtaining necessary funding from the market at appropriate costs based on the current supply and demand of capital in the financing market.

The Directors consider that whilst the provision of the Seventh to the Ninth Guarantees is not in the ordinary course of business of the Group, the terms thereof are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole.
