LETTER FROM THE BOARD

II. Specific Reasons for Change in the Use of Part of the Proceeds

(I) Planned Investment and Actual Investment of the Original Project

Unit: RMB0'000

Name of the project The first batch of projects of the recycled water pipe network connection project in the main districts of Tianjin City
Project company Tianjin Water Recycling Co., Ltd.*
(天津中水有限公司)
Total original planned investment amount 29,917.95
Amount originally proposed to be invested with proceeds 21,900.00
Accumulative amount invested as of 30 November 2024 10,629.68

As of 30 November 2024, the unused balance of the proceeds for the Water Recycling Batch 1 Project was RMB112,703,200.

(II) Specific Reasons for the Change

With the project acceptance completed on 27 March 2024 and given the readiness of the conditions for water supply, the Water Recycling Batch 1 Project is now in the stage of project settlement. In order to improve the economic benefits of the project, reduce costs, and reasonably save project fees during the implementation of the project, the Company carried out work in the following two aspects:

  1. With centralized management of project design, equipment procurement and construction through project bidding management, project processes and resource allocation have been optimised as a result, thus lowering the project construction and installation costs by approximately RMB33,000,000.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. The Water Recycling Batch 1 Project obtained investment subsidies of RMB20,000,000 from the central budget for the year 2023, which were used to pay for the construction and installation costs of the Water Recycling Batch 1 Project.

In summary, the Water Recycling Batch 1 Project is expected to save the use of proceeds of approximately RMB53,000,000 through measures described above. In order to improve the efficiency of utilization of the proceeds and to safeguard the Company's long-term interests and the arrangement for the use of proceeds, the Company intends to apply RMB53,000,000 out of the remaining RMB112,703,200 of the proceeds for the Water Recycling Batch 1 Project to the construction of the Chibi Lushui Project, and the remaining RMB59,703,200 will still be utilized for the Water Recycling Batch 1 Project, so as to promote the long-term and steady development of the Company's business and safeguard the interests of the Company and the Shareholders.

III. Description of the New Investment Project

On 8 November 2024, the Company published the "Announcement in relation to the Investment in Chibi Lushui Industrial Park Sewage Treatment Plant and Supporting Pipeline Network Concession TOT Project and Establishment of a Project Company" on the website of SSE and the relevant overseas regulatory announcement on the website of the Stock Exchange.

  3. Place of implementation: Chibi Lushui Industrial Park, Hubei Province

  5. Cooperation period of the project: 40 years

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(II) Project Feasibility Analysis

The Company established Chibi Capital Environmental Protection Water Co., Ltd.,*(赤壁創環水務有限公司)(the “Chibi Lushui Project Company”) as the project company with a capital contribution of RMB60,200,000 with its own funds to invest, finance, operate and maintain the Chibi Lushui Project.

According to the concession project agreement entered into between the Company and Chibi Municipal Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development(赤壁市住房和城鄉建設局)as well as the subsequent succession agreement in relation to the concession project agreement entered into among the Company, Municipal Bureau of Housing and Urban-Rural Development(赤壁市住房和城鄉建設局)and the Chibi Lushui Project Company, the Chibi Lushui Project Company is responsible for the investment and financing, as well as the operation and maintenance of the project, and enjoys the right to receive sewage treatment service fees and receive relevant income from lawful business operations. The project's cooperation period is 40 years, and the sewage treatment scale is 40,000m³/day.

The project adopts a user payment approach. The source of revenue includes domestic sewage treatment service fees and industrial sewage treatment fees, of which the unit price of residential domestic sewage treatment is RMB0.95 per tonne, the unit price of non-residential domestic sewage treatment is RMB1.4 per tonne and the unit price of industrial sewage treatment is RMB5.68 per tonne. The domestic sewage treatment fee is determined in accordance with the government pricing document titled Chibi Price Control [2015] No. 18 (赤價管[2015]18號), and the water supply of all domestic sewage is commissioned by the Chibi Municipal Government. If the government adjusts the unit price of the domestic sewage treatment fee during the concession period, the domestic sewage treatment fee received by Chibi Lushui Project Company will be adjusted simultaneously in accordance with the new standard. The price of industrial sewage is adjusted every three years in accordance with changes in the economic environment and market trends with reference to inflation rates and other factors, and price adjustment will only be made when the change in the aforementioned factors exceeds ±5%.

The Chibi Lushui Project adopts a standard water concession project model, with the main risks being the government's ability to pay, technical operation and policy changes. In view of the Company's leading technical operational capability in the PRC, the Chibi Lushui Project Company will maintain a good cooperation relationship with the government in the future and actively communicate and coordinate to ensure normal earnings and operation of the project.

  • 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(III) Project Necessity Analysis

The Chibi Lushui Project can increase the scale of the Company's equity sewage treatment business by 40,000m³/day, which is in line with the Company's development strategy of expanding its principal business and conducive to consolidating the good cooperative relationship with the local government. Moreover, it has a positive effect on further reinforcing the Company's industry position and market share in Hubei, thereby increasing the Company's regional influence and enhancing the scale of the Company's principal business.

IV. Opinions of the Supervisory Committee and the Sponsor on Change in the Use of Part of the Proceeds
