The Company submitted its bid in respect of the Capital Injection according to the procedures laid down by the SUAEE on 26 February 2018 and paid a deposit in the amount of RMB80 million. As confirmed by PetroChina Dalian, the Company was confirmed as the winner of the bid on 28 February 2018. On 6 March 2018, the Company entered into the Agreements which set out its contractual obligations in relation to the Capital Injection and the management of PetroChina Dalian.

PRINCIPAL TERMS OF THE AGREEMENTS
