III. REASONS AND BENEFITS FOR THE PURCHASE WEALTH MANAGEMENT PRODUCTS OF BOCOM

Without affecting the Company's project constructions, operational liquidity and fund security, the Company utilized certain idle funds to subscribe for highly secured principal-guaranteed wealth management products from banks. Such subscription will not affect the need of working capital of the Company. Appropriate short-term wealth management with low risk exposure is conducive to enhancing the utilization of capital and increasing income from idle funds.

Therefore, the Directors consider that the Purchase of Wealth Management Products of BOCOM is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

IV. IMPLICATION OF THE HONG KONG LISTING RULES

Pursuant to the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the highest relevant applicable percentage ratio (as defined under the Hong Kong Listing Rules) of the subscription amount under the Purchase of Wealth Management Products of BOCOM is less than 5%. Therefore, the Purchase of Wealth Management Products of BOCOM does not constitute a notifiable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
