Services to be provided

During the Service Period, Jiayuanxing shall provide heat supply services at the commercial area of TLP in the Tianjin Cultural Centre. In case of exceptionally low temperature at Tianjin City, Jiayuanxing shall, according to the decision of the municipal government of Tianjin City, advance the first day or postpone the last day of the Service Period. Further, TYCOM and TLP may apply in writing to advance the first day or postpone the last day of the Service Period.

The total service fees for the heat supply services under the TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2018 shall be RMB14,521,680 (equivalent to approximately HK$16,409,498.4), which is calculated by multiplying the above heat supply service area (i.e. 363,042 m[2] ) with the above unit price of RMB40 per m[2] . The service fees shall be paid by TLP in one-off payment by 1 May 2019. TLP might delegate TYCOM to pay the above service fees.

The heat supply service fees for the advanced or extended period as requested by TYCOM and TLP (except for the decision made by the municipal government of Tianjin City) shall be paid by TLP in one-off payment by 1 May 2019 and shall be calculated by the following formula:

REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO THE TLP HEAT SUPPLY AGREEMENT

2018

Pursuant to the license operation agreement dated 16 March 2011 entered into between TCAC and Jiayuanxing, TCAC has agreed to grant the Exclusive Operation License to Jiayuanxing for the investment in, construction, operation, management, maintenance and renovation of the Facilities as well as for provision of heat and cold supply services in the Tianjin Cultural Centre. The centralised energy stations constructed are ready for supplying heat.

The entering into of the TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2018 allows Jiayuanxing to operate the Facilities constructed and provides it with an opportunity to make profit from providing heat supply services in the Tianjin Cultural Centre through the Facilities. The terms of the TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2018 were determined after arm’s length negotiation between the parties. The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2018 are on normal commercial terms, in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As mentioned above, TLP is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Tianjin Infrastructure Construction, the ultimate controlling Shareholder of the Company, and TYCOM is a subsidiary of TLP. As such, TLP and TYCOM are the associates of Tianjin Infrastructure Construction and accordingly, are regarded as connected persons of the Company under the Listing Rules. The transaction contemplated under the TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2018 constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under the Listing Rules.

On 6 November 2017, Jiayuanxing entered into the TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2017 with TLP and TYCOM. On 31 May 2018, Jiayuanxing entered into the TLP Cold Supply Agreement 2018 with TLP and TYCOM. The TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2018 should be aggregated with the TLP Cold Supply Agreement 2018 and the TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2017 pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules. As the applicable percentage ratios for the TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2018 (after aggregation) are more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the provision of heat supply services under the TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2018 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.

Mr. Liu Yujun, the executive Director of the Company, Mr. Yu Zhongpeng and Mr. Han Wei, the non-executive Directors of the Company, have abstained from voting to approve the TLP Heat Supply Agreement 2018 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.
