LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
As mentioned above, TLP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TMICL, the controlling Shareholder of the Company. TMICL owns 40% equity interest in TYCOM. As such, TLP and TYCOM are the associates of TMICL and accordingly, are regarded as connected persons of the Company under the Listing Rules. The transaction contemplated under the TLP Cold Supply Agreement 2015 constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules.
On 17 March 2014, Jiayuanxing entered into the TM Resources Heat Supply Supplemental Agreement 2013 with TM Resources. On 29 May 2014, Jiayuanxing entered into the TM Resources Cold Supply Agreement 2014 with TM Resources, and entered into the TLP Cold Supply Agreement 2014 with TLP and TYCOM. On 30 September 2014, Jiayuanxing entered into the TLP Cold Supply Supplemental Agreement 2014 with TLP and TYCOM. On 14 November 2014, Jiayuanxing entered into the TM Resources Heat Supply Agreement 2014 with TM Resources, and entered into the TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2014 with TLP and TYCOM. The TLP Cold Supply Agreement 2015 should be aggregated with the TM Resources Heat Supply Supplemental Agreement 2013, the TM Resources Cold Supply Agreement 2014, the TLP Cold Supply Agreement 2014, the TLP Cold Supply Supplemental Agreement 2014, the TM Resources Heat Supply Agreement 2014 and the TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2014, pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules. As the applicable percentage ratios for the TLP Cold Supply Agreement 2015 (after aggregation) are more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the provision of cold supply services under the TLP Cold Supply Agreement 2015 is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements only and is exempt from the independent shareholders’ approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
Ms. Shi Zhenjuan, the executive Director of the Company, Mr. An Pindong and Ms. Chen Yinxing, the non-executive Directors of the Company, have abstained from voting to approve the TLP Cold Supply Agreement 2015 in the Board meeting due to the fact that they were connected with Tianjin Infrastructure Construction and TMICL and are regarded not independent to make any recommendation to the Board.
