LETTER FROM THE BOARD

This Circular aims to give you the Notice of the EGM and to provide you with the information necessary to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the resolution to be proposed at the EGM relating to, among other things, the following matters.

II. MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AT THE EGM

1. Proposal on the Purchase of the Business Building of Chengdu Branch

In order to seize the opportunity of the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle, continue to expand and strengthen the Chengdu market, and promote the greater development of the Bank, the Bank plans to purchase a business building for Chengdu Branch in the “Jiaozi Park Business District” of Chengdu Hi-tech Zone. The details are as follows.

I. Necessity and Feasibility Analysis

Chengdu is the city with the largest economic size, the fastest development speed and the best development potential in the central and western regions. The purchase of a business building for Chengdu Branch is the inevitable choice and the best path to solve the serious shortage of existing office buildings, seize the economic development opportunities of Chengdu, consolidate the existing development achievements and continue to become stronger and bigger.

(I) Benefit to the Bank’s further expansion of Chengdu market

In 2021, the Chinese government successively issued policy documents such as the Outline of the Construction Plan for the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle and the Planning of the Chengdu-Chongqing Joint Construction of the Western Financial Center, promoting the Chengdu-Chongqing region to accelerate its progress towards the goal of “being an important growth pole and a new source of power for high-quality national development in China”, so Chengdu ushered in major development opportunities. After five years of efforts, Chengdu Branch of the Bank has achieved excellent results. In 2021, its development speed far exceeded the average level of the whole Bank and the provincial banking industry. At the same time, Chengdu Branch also took the lead in setting up two branches in Meishan and Suining and five sub-branches such as Jinjiang sub-branch and Wuhou sub-branch, forming a business development pattern covering the main urban areas of Chengdu and major cities in Chengdu Plain Economic Region, laying a solid foundation for the long-term steady development of the Bank. In view of the current economic development situation and future development momentum of Chengdu, the key for the Bank to continue to grow stronger and bigger lies in accelerating the expansion of the provincial market dominated by Chengdu. Therefore, it is very necessary to purchase a business building for Chengdu Branch.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(II) Benefit to enhancing the Bank’s market influence in Sichuan Province

The “Jiaozi Park Business District” of Chengdu Hi-tech Zone is located in the core area of the southern downtown of Chengdu. It is the core area of Chengdu’s southward development and the new center of the city in the future. At present, more than 2,700 enterprises have settled in “Jiaozi Park Business District”, including more than 2,200 financial enterprises, ranking first in the central and western regions. Its commercial facilities are beginning to take shape, financial services are relatively developed, and the transportation infrastructure is good, so settling in this area has become the best choice for financial enterprises. At present, the staff in Chengdu Branch of the Bank and that work in the head office department in Chengdu reach nearly 500. In view of the serious shortage of existing office buildings, crowded office space, and the extreme lack of necessary facilities such as meeting rooms and business negotiation rooms, the scattered office environment makes the daily management and communication of Chengdu Branch very inconvenient, seriously affecting business efficiency and customer experience. The purchase of the business building in “Jiaozi Park Business District” will greatly improve the office conditions of Chengdu Branch, enhance the customer experience, further enhance the Bank’s listed bank influence and market influence, help the Bank attract more excellent financial talents and establish cooperation with more financial institutions and enterprises.

  • (III) More beneficial for the Bank to purchase the business building of Chengdu Branch

From the comparative analysis of the five dimensions of economy, enterprise development and management, asset management, property operation mode in the proposed region, and lease and purchase of other bank outlets, it is found that the purchase is more beneficial to the Bank. On the one hand, according to the preliminary calculation of Shenzhen Guoce Real Estate Land Valuation Co., Ltd. (深 圳市國策房地產土地資產評估有限公司), the 10-year internal rate of return of the business building purchased in the “Jiaozi Park Business District” of Chengdu Hi-tech Zone is better than the benchmark interest rate of loans with a term of more than five years. According to the current annual rent of Chengdu Branch, Science and Innovation Center, Huirongtong Small Micro Loan Center and Financial Markets Department and the trend of its annual increase, with the increase of staff in Chengdu Branch and that work in Chengdu, it is estimated that the cost of leasing property will reach about RMB150 million from 2022 to 2031 if we continue to adopt leasing to meet the actual needs of business development of Chengdu Branch. At the same time, the leased office space may also be unable to be renewed after the lease expires, or the rent increase of the subsequent renewal and the newly leased space may be far away from the market price, resulting in huge expenses such as forced relocation and redecoration. On the other hand, Chengdu is a new first tier city. With the continuous inflow of population and policy support, the house price in Chengdu will be stable in the future, and there is a great possibility of increase. The maturity of the “Jiaozi Park Business District” where the Bank plans to purchase the business building is increasing, the housing price is more stable, and the prospect of value preservation and appreciation is broader.

II. Specific Use Demands for Purchasing the Business Building

III. Expenses for Purchasing the Business Building

  • (I) Market price of commercial housing in the area where the business building is to be purchased

According to the market survey of Chengdu Branch, referring to the transaction prices of office buildings in the area collected by Shenzhen Guoce Real Estate Land Valuation Co., Ltd. (深圳市國策房地產土地資產評估有限公司), and the price inquiry result of the Bank’s internal price inquiry group, the sale price of commercial housing on the ground floor stores of “Jiaozi Park Business District” is about RMB55,000/m[2] . The sales price of office space at the second floor and above is around RMB13,000/m[2] to RMB21,000/m[2] .

According to the proposed building area of approximately 25,000 m[2] , the initial calculation of the purchase cost of the business building is about RMB580 million. Among them, the estimated purchase cost for the building and the purchase cost of less than 500 parking spaces are RMB560 million, and the tax incurred due to the purchase is RMB20 million.

(II) Budget for decoration of the business building

According to the preliminary budget for the proposed building area of approximately 25,000 m[2] , the relevant decoration costs of the business building are about RMB200 million, mainly including the following types of costs:

  1. Professional service fee: RMB11 million.

  2. With reference to the decoration cost of Meishan Branch and Suining Branch of the Bank, the latest project cost information released by Sichuan Province in March 2022 and the market price in Chengdu, and in combination with the relatively complete functional configuration of the business building, it is estimated that the decoration cost standard of the business building of Chengdu Branch is RMB4,500/m[2] , with the decoration cost budget of RMB115 million.

  3. The cost budget for ancillary equipment and supporting facilities of the business building is RMB72 million.

In accordance with the relevant requirements of the People’s Government of Luzhou Municipality on Printing and Distributing the Measures on Luzhou Municipality for the Administration of Investment in Municipal State Owned Enterprises (Lu Shi Fu Fa [2019] No. 32) (《瀘州市人民政府關於印發<瀘州市市屬國有企業投資管理辦法>(瀘市府發[2019]32 號)》), the Bank shall not purchase the business building of Chengdu Branch until it is reviewed by Luzhou Municipal Finance Bureau and submitted to the People’s Government of Luzhou Municipality for decision.
