THE STRATEGIC AGREEMENT
The Board is pleased to announce that on 11 July 2013, the Company entered into the Strategic Agreement with LSPE, a subsidiary of the Lanshi Group, where both parties agree to negotiate terms of trade on an arm’s length basis in good faith on the best commercial terms available in the market and to jointly pursue a greater market share for each respective business based on the combined strengths of each party.
Strategic Cooperation
LSPE is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Lanshi Group and is considered one of China’s largest manufacturers of equipment for oil drilling, refining and chemical processing. Up to 3 April 2013, LSPE was known as, Lanzhou-LS National Oilwell Petroleum Engineering Co., Ltd before it changed its name to LSPE. The Lanshi Group has established itself as a reputable manufacturer of high quality equipment using advanced production technology and management concepts from the United States of America. The Lanshi Group is also able to manufacture a variety of land-based oil rigs, and offshore drilling modules capable of operating in various water depths.
Under the Strategic Agreement, both parties will combine their strategies and competitive strengths to their mutual benefits on a win-win principle. The Lanshi Group will benefit from TSC’s strong global network to further expand the global land rig market by providing a variety of land rig drilling equipment. TSC, on the other hand, will benefit significantly from the world class manufacturing facilities of the Lanshi Group to meet with growing demand for TSC’s own products. The parties agree to negotiate terms of trade on an arm’s length basis in good faith on the best commercial terms available in the market and to combine the competitive strengths and strategies of both parties in a joint effort to pursue a greater market share for the respective businesses of each party to the Strategic Agreement.

The strategic cooperation with the Lanshi Group pursuant to the Strategic Agreement will add value to the business of the Group through complementing with TSC’s marketing network which has been established over the years.
