INFORMATION ON THE GROUP AND GRAPHEX TECH

The principal activities of the Group are the business of processing and sale of graphite and graphene related products in the PRC, and landscape architecture business mainly in Hong Kong and the PRC.

−7 −

Graphex Tech is a limited liability company incorporated in Delaware and is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Graphex Tech was established to promote the production and sales of graphene products in the United States and develop into an important link in the supply chain of the electric vehicle (“ EV ”) industry in the world.

INFORMATION ON EES

EES is a limited liability company incorporated in Michigan. To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Board, EES maintains a relatively large team of professionals experienced in handling all aspects for the design, construction, regulatory, supply sourcing, legal and financial affairs for building first class manufacturing and processing facilities in the United States, in particular in Detroit, Michigan metropolitan area and other states. Its affiliated entity recently developed and currently owns and operates Emerald Business Park, a 23-acre industrial park located in Warren, Michigan with approximately 400,000 rentable square feet and its own newly constructed 12-megawatt electrical substation. In the heart of the automobile parts supply industry in the United States, EES’s team built this facility from a collection of empty shells into several manufacturing and first-class processing facilities to accommodate a single purpose highly regulated industry which requires precise, high-quality production. EES’s team has numerous strong relationships within the automotive industry and various regulatory authorities.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE JV FORMATION

Processed spherical graphite constitutes the predominant anode material used to make lithium-ion batteries for the EV and renewable energy storage. With the manufacture, sale and use of the EV expected to grow exponentially worldwide over the next decade, and in particular in the United States, the growth in output by automobile battery manufacturers is correspondingly expected to soar. To accommodate this growth, it is necessary and anticipated that the processing and output of pitch coated spherical graphite will greatly increase every year to satisfy this growing demand for EV. The opportunity for anode material processing within the United States is enormous. Facilities based in the United States that have the expertise and capability to produce high quality anode materials at scale will create tremendous upside in the value chain by providing the benefits of localized supply, reducing external geopolitical risks, and developing first-rate processing materials.

One of the Group’s principal activities is processing and sale of graphite and graphene related products in the PRC. The Group is currently producing over 10,000 metric tons of spherical graphite annually. Its products are critical to the transition to a more sustainable, resilient and environmentally friendly future and its operation is highly scalable. It maintains a relatively large team of highly experienced

−8 −

personnel with the unique requisite knowledge base in the processing of high quality graphite anode material. Its team possesses patents and utility models covering various technological, design, and processing applications, in addition to trade secrets and technological expertise. The Group’s key technical experts are uniquely experienced and knowledgeable in the proven production methodology for spherical graphite and coating. It is believed that energy storage is on the verge of accelerated growth and utility-scale battery storage will play an increasing role in the electrification.

By virtue of the JV Formation, the Company can be introduced to the United States market which is a great opportunity for the Group to further develop its graphene products business to become one of the major players in the industry. The JV Formation is expected to help expand and promote the growth of graphene products business to the global market. It is also anticipated that the Joint Venture can enable the Group’s profitability and bring long term value to the Group.

In light of the above, the Directors consider that the terms of the Agreement are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
