Pursuant to the financial services agreement entered into between Datang Finance and the Company on 26 October 2010, the maximum daily balance of the Group’s deposits with Datang Finance amounted to RMB6,630 million, RMB6,300 million and RMB5,480 million for the two years ended 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2011 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2013, respectively.

In view of the Company’s business growth and increase in demand for financial services, the Company estimates that the proposed caps in respect of the daily maximum deposit balance with Datang Finance is RMB12 billion for each of the three years ending 31 December 2014, 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2016 after taking into account of the following:

  1. As the assets of the Group continue to grow, the amount of deposits will also increase.

  2. In order to strengthen the centralised management of funds and monitor the use of funds, the Group will roll out a “funding pool” platform through Datang Finance. Such platform amasses the funds of the Group and enables loans to be granted within the Group by capitalising on the leeway arising from the difference in the time for receipt and payment of funds of the members of the Group, with an aim to support the development of the Group.

  3. In respect of the Group’s funds settlement business at Datang Finance, settlement expenses will be undertaken by Datang Finance.

  6. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the above proposed caps in respect of the deposit services are fair and reasonable.

Loan Services

In view of the fact that the loan services to be provided by Datang Finance to the Group are on normal commercial terms which are similar to or even more favourable than those offered by other commercial banks in the PRC, and that no collateral against the assets of the Group will be required in respect of the loan services, the loan services are exempt under Rule 14A.65(4) of the Listing Rules from all reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements. As such, no cap has been set for such services. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the loan services to be provided under the Financial Services Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Other Services

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the other services provided under the Financial Services Agreement are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole.

The Company expects that each of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) of the total fees payable by the Company to Datang Finance will fall within the de minimis threshold as stipulated under Rule 14A.33(3) of the Listing Rules. The Company will comply with the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements of the Listing Rules if the transaction amounts of the other services to be provided by Datang Finance to the Group under the Financial Services Agreement exceed the relevant threshold.

BENEFITS AND REASONS OF ENTERING INTO THE FINANCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE ENTRUSTED LOAN FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

In view of the cooperation history between Datang Finance and the Company and given that the provision of entrusted loan services by Datang Finance is covered under the Financial Services Agreement, Datang Finance has better understanding of the operations of the Company which will allow more expedient and efficient services than those rendered by other PRC commercial banks. Further, the handling fees charged by Datang Finance will not be higher than those charged by other PRC commercial banks. In view of the above considerations, the Company appointed Datang Finance, rather than other PRC commercial banks, as the lending agent.

Further, considering the capital risks control measures under the financial services agreement as set out in the circular of the Company dated 16 November 2010 and the Financial Services Agreement for the service term commencing from 1 January 2014 and ending on 31 December 2016 and the terms under the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement are normal commercial terms which confer no additional obligations nor risks on the Company when comparing with other entrusted loan agreements in the market, the Company considers that no additional risks will be involved by appointing Datang Finance as the lending agent under the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement.

In order to ensure the day-to-day cash flow of Duolun Coal Chemical Company, the Company intends to provide the Entrusted Loan of not exceeding RMB6 billion to Duolun Coal Chemical Company. The Company is of the view that the Entrusted Loan will be primarily utilized by Duolun Coal Chemical Company to replace the due entrusted loan between the Company and the Energy and Chemical Company, due borrowings from external commercial banks and supplement its liquidity, and is thus beneficial for the smooth progress of the production and operation activities of Duolun Coal Chemical Company.

Considering the possible higher financial costs for Duolun Coal Chemical Company to obtain the current loan from other commercial banks when comparing with the financial costs incurred by the Company to obtain the funding of the Entrusted Loan, the Company considers that the overall capital costs to the Group will be relatively reduced after the accounts of Duolun Coal Chemical Company (being the subsidiary of the Company) are consolidated into the accounts of the Company. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement are fair and reasonable, have been entered into after arm’s length negotiation between all parties thereto and determined on normal commercial terms and is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

Both Duolun Coal Chemical Company and Datang Finance are therefore connected persons of the Company and the transaction under the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios for the principal amount of the Entrusted Loan under the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement is more than 5%, the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement and the Entrusted Loan Arrangement are subject to the requirements of reporting, announcement and approval by the Independent Shareholders of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Dear Sirs,

DEPOSIT SERVICES UNDER THE FINANCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT CONSTITUTING CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS AND

THE ENTRUSTED LOAN ARRANGEMENT CONSTITUTING CONNECTED TRANSACTION

INTRODUCTION

We refer to our engagement as the independent financial adviser to the Independent Board Committee and Independent Shareholders in respect of the deposit services under the Financial Services Agreement, and the Entrusted Loan Arrangement. Further details of the Financial Services Agreement, and the Entrusted Loan Arrangement are set out in the letter from the Board (the “ Letter from the Board ”) in the circular of the Company to its Shareholders dated 5 November 2013 (the “ Circular ”), of which this letter forms part. Capitalised terms used in this letter shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Circular unless the context otherwise requires.

On 15 October 2013, the Company entered into the Financial Services Agreement with Datang Finance, pursuant to which Datang Finance agreed to provide the Group with deposit services, loan services and other financial services subject to the terms and conditions provided therein.

18

LETTER FROM MIZUHO SECURITIES ASIA LIMITED

As the provision of deposit services under the Financial Services Agreement constitutes continuing connected transactions of the Company and one or more of the applicable percentage ratios for the provision of deposit services under the Financial Services Agreement is more than 5%, the provision of deposit services under the Financial Services Agreement is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

The Company further announces that on 15 October 2013, the Company and Energy and Chemical Company entered into the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement with Datang Finance and Duolun Coal Chemical Company in relation to the provision of the Entrusted Loan by the Company or Energy and Chemical Company to Duolun Coal Chemical Company in the form of revolving loan facility through the Entrusted Loan Arrangement, in which Datang Finance acts as the lending agent.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, CDC together with its subsidiaries holds approximately 34.71% of the issued share capital of the Company. Duolun Coal Chemical Company is owned as to 60% and 40% by Energy and Chemical Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and CDC, respectively. Datang Finance is a subsidiary of CDC which is a controlling Shareholder. Both Duolun Coal Chemical Company and Datang Finance are therefore connected persons of the Company and the transaction under the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Our scope of work under this engagement is to assess whether the terms of the deposit services under Financial Services Agreement, and the Entrusted Loan Arrangement are fair and reasonable so far as the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and, from that perspective, whether the provision of deposit services under the Financial Services Agreement and whether the Entrusted Loan Arrangement are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. It is not within our scope of work to opine on any other aspects of the Financial Services Agreement, and of the Entrusted Loan Arrangement. In addition, it is not within our terms of reference to comment on the commercial merits of the provision of deposit services and other provisions under Financial Services Agreement, and the Entrusted Loan Arrangement which is the responsibility of the Directors.

BASIS OF OUR OPINION

In arriving at our opinion, we have relied on the information, opinions and facts supplied, and representations made to us, by the Directors, advisers and representatives of the Company (including those contained or referred to in the Circular). We have also assumed that the information and representations contained or referred to in the Circular were true and accurate in all respects at the time they were made and continue to be so at the date of dispatch of the Circular. We have no reason to doubt the truth, accuracy and completeness of the information and representations provided to us by the Directors and senior management of the Company. We have also relied on certain information available to the public and have assumed such information to be accurate and reliable, and we have not independently verified the accuracy of such information. We have been advised by the Directors and believe that no material facts have been omitted from the Circular.

19

LETTER FROM MIZUHO SECURITIES ASIA LIMITED

We consider that we have reviewed sufficient information to reach an informed view, to justify reliance on the accuracy of the information contained in the Circular and to provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. We have not, however, conducted an independent verification of the information nor have we conducted any form of in-depth investigation into the businesses and affairs or other prospects of the Company, Datang Finance, Duolun Coal Chemical Company, Energy and Chemical Company, or any of their respective subsidiaries or associates.

A. DEPOSIT SERVICE UNDER THE FINANCIAL SERVICES AGREEMENT

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In forming our opinion, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

Background

Datang Finance was established in the PRC in 2005 as a non-banking financial institution. Its registered capital is RMB3 billion. The principal business of Datang Finance includes the provision of, among others, deposit services, loan services, entrusted loan services and entrusted investment services. It is a subsidiary of CDC which is a controlling Shareholder. The Company holds 20% equity interest in Datang Finance.

On 28 August 2008, the Company and Datang Finance entered into a financial services agreement with a term commencing from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2010. On 26 October 2010, the Company and Datang Finance entered into a financial services agreement, with a term of three years commencing from 1 January 2011 and ending on 31 December 2013. In order to further enhance the economies of scale of the capital, accelerate capital turnover, save financing costs and ensure funds security while maintaining stability of the partnership between both parties, the relevant financial services agreement is renewed. On 15 October 2013, the Company and Datang Finance entered into the Financial Services Agreement, with a term commencing from 1 January 2014 and ending on 31 December 2016.

We note that the Financial Services Agreement is not a new arrangement and represents a renewal of the previous financial services agreements entered into between the Company and Datang Finance for a term of another three years. Having considered the background and benefits of the provision of deposit services under the Financial Services Agreement and other factors described in this letter, we are of the view that the renewal of the provision of deposit services is justified.

Major terms in the Financial Services Agreement relating to deposit services

  1. The daily maximum balance of the Group’s deposits with Datang Finance for each of the three years ending 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 is RMB12 billion;

  2. The savings interest rate of the deposit services are settled according to the interest rates of the PBOC (as at the Latest Practicable Date, the prevailing negotiated deposit interest rate is 1.15% per annum, while the prevailing savings interest rate is 0.35% per annum), with a daily maximum balance if deposits of not more than RMB12 billion;

20

LETTER FROM MIZUHO SECURITIES ASIA LIMITED

  1. Datang Finance has undertaken to adhere to the principles below in providing the aforementioned financial services to the Group:

  2. (i) the interest rates for the Group’s deposits in and for loans to be granted from Datang Finance shall be within the permitted bands around the interest rates for deposits and loans as announced by the PBOC, and with reference to the benchmark interest rates as announced by the PBOC, Datang Finance shall accept deposits at interests rates which are not lower than those offered by other domestic financial institutions, and offer loans and other services at lending interest rates which are not higher than those charged by other domestic financial institutions for the same type of services.

  3. (ii) Datang Finance should ensure the stable operation of its funds management system to safeguard the funds, and to monitor the credit risk so as to satisfy the payment needs of the Group.

  4. The Group, with information of market rates and in view of its own interests, has the unilateral right to determine whether or not to maintain the business relationship with Datang Finance, and may obtain relevant financial services from other financial institutions in addition to those services provided under the Financial Services Agreement in accordance with the actual situations.

We have reviewed the Financial Services Agreement and also the previous financial services agreement entered into by the parties. We note that the key terms in the Financial Services Agreement relating to deposit services are similar to the corresponding terms in the previous financial services agreements entered into by the parties and are considered to be reasonable commercial terms, in view of the cashflow condition of the Group and the benefits of the provision of deposit services from Datang Finance.

Capital risk control measures by Datang Finance

In order to control the capital risks relating to the deposits by the Group to Datang Finance, Datang Finance shall implement the following capital risk control measures:

  1. Datang Finance will ensure the safe and stable operation of the fund management information system, which has undergone the security test in respect of connection to the interface of online commercial banking and has reached the national security standards for commercial banks. The system is equipped with the mode awarded with CA safety certificate to ensure the security of the funds of the Group;

  2. Datang Finance will ensure that it is in strict compliance with the risk monitoring indicators for financial institutions issued by the CBRC and that its major regulatory indicators such as gearing ratio, interbank borrowing ratio and liquidity ratio will also comply with the requirements of the CBRC;

  3. Any balance in the Group’s deposits (after deducting the amount used for making entrusted loans and the loans made to the Group by Datang Finance) will be redeposited into one or more commercial banks in the PRC as interbank deposits;

21

LETTER FROM MIZUHO SECURITIES ASIA LIMITED

  1. A report on the status of the Group’s deposits with Datang Finance will be delivered by Datang Finance to the chief financial officer of the Company before 10 a.m. of each business day to enable the chief financial officer of the Company to monitor and ensure that the daily maximum deposit balance of the Group with Datang Finance does not exceed the cap of RMB12 billion;

  2. A copy of every regulatory report submitted by Datang Finance to the CBRC will be provided to and reviewed by the senior management of the Company, including the relevant executive Director(s);

  3. The financial statements of Datang Finance for each month will be provided to and reviewed by the senior management of the Company, including the relevant executive director(s), on the fifth working day of the following month.

We understand from the management of the Group that Datang Finance is in compliance with the requirements of CBRC for financial institutions, including the risk monitoring indicators. Furthermore, based on the advice of the Company, a number of major banks in the PRC treated Datang Finance similar to its controlling shareholder, CDC which has a credit rating of AAA in respect of business dealings. This enables Datang Finance to receive certain preferential business policies from those banks. The Directors believe that the credit risk control measures under the Financial Services Agreement are adequate to cover the risks involved in depositing funds of the Group with Datang Finance. Furthermore, CDC undertakes to the CBRC that in the event that Datang Finance is in urgent difficulty in making payment, CDC will raise Datang Finance’s capital accordingly based on actual need.

We note that the above capital risk control measures have been operative since the previous financial services agreement was in place. The Company advised that the capital risk control measures have operated effectively and the Company has not encountered any substantial problems arising from the products and services of Datang Finance. The Company further confirmed that the Company has not encountered any losses regarding the deposit services since the previous financial services agreement was entered into by the Company and Datang Finance and the Company is generally satisfied with the capital risk control measures in place. In view of this, we consider that such measures are appropriate from the risk management perspective of the Company.

Benefits and reasons of entering into the Financial Services Agreement

By entering into the Financial Services Agreement with Datang Finance, the Company is able to secure loans and other financing services at interest rates lower than those in the market, which assists in improving the overall standard of fund operation of the Company and enhancing the Group’s bargaining power of external financing. The entering into of the Financial Services Agreement can also enable the Company to secure higher interest rates for deposits than those in the market and enjoy payment and settlement services at zero rate, thereby increasing interest income on deposits and saving settlement costs. Meanwhile, pursuant to the Financial Services Agreement, the Group can strengthen its funds control and accounts management through the funds management platform of Datang Finance, thereby further improving the efficiency of fund applications, and mitigating and avoiding financial risks.

We consider that the benefits and reasons of entering into the Financial Services Agreement are sound, in view of the substantial operations of the Group and its related companies, and from cashflow and teasury management perspectives.

22

LETTER FROM MIZUHO SECURITIES ASIA LIMITED

PROPOSED CAP FOR DEPOSIT SERVICES

Historical amounts

Pursuant to the financial services agreement entered into between Datang Finance and the Company on 26 October 2010, the maximum daily balance of the Group’s deposits with Datang Finance amounted to RMB6,630 million, RMB6,300 million and RMB5,480 million for the two years ended 31 December 2010 and 31 December 2011 and for the nine months ended 30 September 2013, respectively.

Proposed caps

In view of the Company’s business growth and increase in demand for financial services, the Company estimates that the proposed caps in respect of the daily maximum deposit balance with Datang Finance is RMB12 billion for each of the three years ending 31 December 2014, 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2016 after taking into account of the following:

  1. As the assets of the Group continue to grow, the amount of deposits will also increase.

  2. In order to strengthen the centralised management of funds and monitor the use of funds, the Group will roll out a “funding pool” platform through Datang Finance. Such platform amasses the funds of the Group and enables loans to be granted within the Group by capitalising on the leeway arising from the difference in the time for receipt and payment of funds of the members of the Group, with an aim to supporting the development of the Group.

  3. In respect of the Group’s funds settlement business at Datang Finance, settlement expenses will be undertaken by Datang Finance.

  4. During the term of the agreement, the issuance of short-term debentures, super short-term debentures and non-public debt financing instruments will also enhance the Company’s daily maximum deposit balance with Datang Finance.

We have discussed with the management of the Company about the financing plans of the Group with banks and from debt capital markets. We note that the Group recorded operating revenue of over RMB77 billion for the year ended 31 December 2012 and its operating revenue has been in an increasing trend during the past few years. We also note that the Group generated net operating cashflow of over RMB22 billion for the nine months ended 30 September 2013. We understand that the cash balance for short-term and longer term deposit by the Group is expected to increase substantially, considering the business and financing plans of the Group. In this regard, we note that the Company announced on 29 October 2013 that the Directors approved resolutions to issue super short-term debentures in the amount of RMB20 billion, and non-public debt financing instruments in the amount of RMB10 billion. We understand from the Company that such and other forms of financing exercises shall be conducted by the Group from time to time, in order to raise funds for the business needs of the Group. Having considered the business and financing plans of the Group, we are of the view that the rationale for increasing the proposed caps for each of the three years ended 31 December 2014, 2015 and 2016 is reasonable, and the proposed daily maximum deposit balance of RMB12 billion for the Group with Datang Finance is determined under reasonable basis. We note the mechanism for determining deposit interest rates pursuant to the term of the Financial Services Agreement, and also note that the Group is not obliged to deposit

23

LETTER FROM MIZUHO SECURITIES ASIA LIMITED

up to the maximum balance with Datang Finance and can at its own discretion choose other financial institutions to place any deposits. The Company has confirmed to us that due to risk management and other considerations, the Group does not plan to place all cash available for deposit with Datang Finance, but shall only be depositing a portion of its available funds at any time with Datang Finance.

OPINION

Having considered the principal factors and reasons described above, in particular, the background and benefits of the deposit services under the Financial Services Agreement, the terms and proposed caps which are reasonably determined, and the capital risk control measures in place, we are of the opinion that the terms of the deposit services under the Financial Services Agreement are on normal commercial terms, and are fair and reasonable as far as the interest of the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and, from this perspective, the provision of deposit services under the Financial Services Agreement is in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolutions to be proposed at the EGM to approve provision of the deposit services under the Financial Services Agreement, including the annual caps for deposit services.

B. ENTRUSTED LOAN ARRANGEMENT

PRINCIPAL FACTORS AND REASONS CONSIDERED

In forming our opinion, we have considered the following principal factors and reasons:

Background

Information relating to the Group

The Group is principally engaged in the development and operation of power plants, the sale of electricity and thermal power, and the repair, testing and maintenance of power equipment as well as the provision of power-related technical services. The main service areas of the Group are in the PRC.

Information relating to Energy and Chemical Company

Energy and Chemical Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company which was duly incorporated on 12 February 2009 with a registered capital of RMB9,189.56 million. Its principal businesses include energy and chemical technology development, technology transfer, technical consulting, technology services; investment management, engineering design, chemical and electrical equipment maintenance, installation, commissioning, import and export, import and export agent, and technology import and export.

Information relating to Duolun Coal Chemical Company

Duolun Coal Chemical Company was duly incorporated on 19 August 2009 with a registered capital of RMB4,050 million. Duolun Coal Chemical Company is principally responsible for the construction and operation of the coal-based olefin project with estimated annual output of 460,000 tonnes. The equity structure of Duolun Coal Chemical Company is as follows: Energy and Chemical Company, a whollyowned subsidiary of the Company, holds 60% equity interests, and CDC holds 40% equity interests. From December 2012 onwards, part of the construction in progress was carried forward to fixed assets.

24

LETTER FROM MIZUHO SECURITIES ASIA LIMITED

Information relating to CDC

CDC was established on 9 March 2003 with a registered capital of approximately RMB18.109 billion. It is principally engaged in the development, investment, construction, operation and management of power energy, organization of power (thermal) production and sales, manufacturing, repair and maintenance of power equipment, power technology development and consultation, power engineering, contracting and consultation of environmental power engineering, development of new energy as well as development and production of power related coal resources.

Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement

The Company advised that, in view of the cooperation history between Datang Finance Company and the Company and given that the provision of entrusted loan services by Datang Finance Company is covered under the Financial Services Agreement, Datang Finance Company has better understanding of the operations of the Company which will allow more expedient and efficient services than those rendered by other PRC commercial banks. Further, the handling fees charged by Datang Finance Company will not be higher than those charged by other PRC commercial banks. In view of the above considerations, the Company appointed Datang Finance Company, rather than other PRC commercial banks, as the lending agent.

Further, considering the capital risks control measures under the Financial Services Agreement and the terms under the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement are normal commercial terms which confer no additional obligations nor risks on the Company when comparing with other entrusted loan agreements in the market, the Company considers that no additional risks will be involved by appointing Datang Finance Company as the lending agent under the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement.

In order to ensure the day-to-day cash flow of Duolun Coal Chemical Company, the Company intends to provide the Entrusted Loan of not exceeding RMB6 billion to Duolun Coal Chemical Company. The Company is of the view that the Entrusted Loan will primarily be utilized by Duolun Coal Chemical Company to replace the due entrusted loan between the Company and the Energy and Chemical Company, due borrowings from external commercial banks and supplement its liquidity, and is thus beneficial for the smooth progress of the production and operation activities of Duolun Coal Chemical Company.

The Company further advised that considering the possible higher financial costs for Duolun Coal Chemical Company to obtain the current loan from other commercial banks when comparing with the financial costs incurred by the Company to obtain the funding of the Entrusted Loan, the Company considers that the overall capital costs to the Group will be relatively reduced after the accounts of Duolun Coal Chemical Company (being a subsidiary of the Company) are consolidated into the accounts of the Company.

25

LETTER FROM MIZUHO SECURITIES ASIA LIMITED

We have discussed with the management of the Company about the financing needs and plans of Duolun Coal Chemical Company. We understand that the amount of RMB6 billion regarding the Entrusted Trust Loan Arrangement is determined after considering the financing needs and plans of Duolun Coal Chemical Company and was determined with reasonable basis. We concur with the Directors that the Entrusted Loan Arrangement shall enable smooth operation, and address the financing needs, of Duolun Coal Chemcial Company. Having considered the background and status of the project undertaken by Duolun Coal Chemical Company and the fact that it is a subsidiary of the Company, we are of the view that it is in the interest of the Company to continue to provide entrusted revolving facilities to Duolun Coal Chemical Company in the form of the Entrusted Loan Arrangement. We note the reasons for having Datang Finance as the lending agent and agree that it is reasonable to have Datang Finance as the cooperation partner in respect of the Entrusted Loan Arrangement. Datang Finance has also acted as lending agent in previous entrusted loan transactions with Duolun Coal Chemical Company, and based on the management of the Company, the operations regarding the previous entrusted loans were smooth and the services offered by Datang Finance Company have been satisfactory. On the basis of the above, we concur with the Directors about the benefits and needs of the Entrusted Loan Arrangement for financing the funding needs of Duolun Coal Chemical Company.

Major Terms of the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement

Pursuant to the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement, Datang Finance Company is entrusted by the Company and Energy and Chemical Company to act as a lending agent to provide the Entrusted Loan to Duolun Coal Chemical Company in the form of revolving loan facility, monitor the use as well as the repayment of the Entrusted Loan by Duolun Coal Chemical Company. Separate Entrusted Loan Contracts will be entered into between the parties when each tranche of the Entrusted Loan was released, the terms and conditions of such Entrusted Loan Contracts shall be consistent with the principles and terms of the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement.

Principal amount of the Entrusted Loan

Not exceeding RMB6 billion and in the form of revolving entrusted loan facility.

Term

The term for the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement is 36 months commencing from 15 October 2013 and ending on 14 October 2016.

Interest rate

At a floating interest rate, being the benchmark interest rate to be charged for the same level of loans in RMB for the same period as announced by the People’s Bank of China on the date when each tranche of borrowing is withdrawn and such interest rate is to be adjusted annually. The adjustment date is 21st December of each year. The adjusted borrowing interest rate will be the benchmark interest rate for the same level of loans in RMB for the same period announced by the People’s Bank of China on the adjustment date. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the prevailing benchmark interest rate for three-year loans in RMB as announced by the People’s Bank of China is 6.15% per annum.

26

LETTER FROM MIZUHO SECURITIES ASIA LIMITED

Such interest rate is arrived at after arm’s length negotiation between the Company and Duolun Coal Chemical Company in consideration of the overall reduction in capital costs to the Group after the accounts of Duolun Coal Chemical Company (being the controlled subsidiary of the Company) are consolidated into the accounts of the Company.

Repayment schedule of the principal of the Entrusted Loan

One-off repayment of the principal for each tranche of the Entrusted Loan by Duolun Coal Chemical Company upon maturity of the relevant Entrusted Loan Contracts.

Payment schedule of interests of the Entrusted Loan

Interests shall be settled by Duolun Coal Chemical Company on a quarterly basis. The settlement date falls on the twentieth (20th) day of the last month of each quarter.

Handling fees

The handling fees shall be charged in tranches on the date of grant of each tranche of the Entrusted Loan. The rate of the handling fees shall be 0.025% of each tranche of the Entrusted Loan.

Discussion of key commercial terms

We have reviewed the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement, and some of the previous agreements regarding entrusted loans to Duolun Coal Chemical Company. We understand from the Company that the amount of not more than RMB6 billion for the Entrusted Loan Arrangement is based on the existing entrusted loan amounts and the funding needs of Duolun Coal Chemical Company. We note that the principles underlying the key terms for the Entrusted Loan Arrangement are same as that for the last entrusted loan provided by the Company to Duolun Coal Chemical Company, and as such, are considered to be under normal commercial terms. Based on our discussions with the management of the Company regarding the cost of capital of the Company, we consider that the principle for determining the interest rate for the entrusted loans pursuant to the Entrusted Loan Arrangement is not prejudicial to the interest of the Company. The handling fees of 0.025% charged by Datang Finance Company is same as that for previous entrusted loans to Duolun Coal Chemical Company and was determined based on normal commercial terms.

OPINION

Having considered the principal factors and reasons described above, in particular, the funding needs of Duolun Coal Chemical Company, the fact that it is a subsidiary of the Company and the terms of the Entrusted Loan Arrangement as assessed above, we are of the opinion that the terms of the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable as far as the interests of the Independent Shareholders are concerned, and, from this perspective, the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the ordinary resolution to approve the Entrusted Loan Framework Agreement at the EGM.

4. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the present available banking facilities and the internally generated resources of the Group, the Group has sufficient working capital for its requirements with the next 12 months from the date of this circular.

5. EFFECT ON EARNINGS, ASSETS AND LIABILITIES OF THE COMPANY

The Company entered into the Financial Services Agreement with Datang Finance to strengthen management and control of funds and account management through Datang Finance’s funds management platform, to raise loans at lower interest rates and enjoy higher deposit interest rates and payment and settlement services at zero fee rate, which are conducive to further improving the efficiency in the use of funds and improving the overall level of the operation of the Company’s funds, while enhancing the Group’s external financing bargaining power. Nevertheless, the Group does not expect to develop reliance on Datang Finance from the enjoying such services, and the entering into of the Financial Services Agreement will not interfere the Group while considering entering into similar agreements with other financial institutions where it deems necessary.

As comparing with the costs for Duolun Coal Chemical Company to obtain separate financing from financial institutions, the Company, as a financing platform, has costs of capital lower than the external financing costs of Duolun Coal Chemical Company, which can effectively save the financial costs, improve the Company’s profit margins. Meanwhile, internal entrusted loans will effectively utilize part of idle funds so that the efficiency in the use of funds can be improved and reduce the company’s overall asset-liability ratio to a certain degree.
