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 Second Purchase of Wealth Management Products of CGB in 2014/2015 are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

The highest relevant applicable percentage ratio (as defined under the Hong Kong Listing Rules) of the subscription amount under the Second Purchase of Wealth Management Products of CGB and the aggregated subscription amount under the First Purchase of Wealth Management Products of CGB and the Second Purchase of Wealth Management Products of CGB are both less than 5%. Therefore, the Second Purchase of Wealth Management Products CGB does not constitute a notifiable transaction of the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.
