SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

In order to bring strategic resources such as leading international and domestic markets, channels, and brands to the Company, and promote the realisation of a significant increase in the Company’s sales performance, the Company and Yangtze Ecology intend to sign a supplemental agreement to the Strategic Investor Subscription Agreement (the “ Supplemental Agreement ”), so as to supplement and revise the provisions in relation to the strategic cooperation and the liabilities for breach of contract.

Currently, the Company and Yangtze Ecology are performing internal reporting and decisionmaking procedures, and have not yet signed the Supplemental Agreement. After signing the Supplemental Agreement, the Company will perform its obligation of information disclosure in a timely manner.

In relation to the relevant strategic cooperation matters in the Supplemental Agreement to be signed by the Company and Yangtze Ecology, the terms of Supplemental Agreement are intended to be agreed as follows:

  1. Cooperative Project Development. On the premise of not violating national laws and regulations and their respective management systems, both parties shall jointly develop and construct a comprehensive water environment management project at the Yangtze river economic belt. By 31 December 2022, the target scale (amount) of contract of the cooperative operation projects shall not be less than RMB3 billion.

  2. Cooperative project operation. On the premise of not violating the national laws and regulations and their respective management systems, Yangtze Ecology entrusts the Company to operate some water projects in Hubei, Chongqing, Jiangxi and other regions. By 31 December 2022, the target scale (amount) of contracts for the cooperative operation projects shall not be less than RMB20 million per year.

  3. The Company and Yangtze Ecology have both explicitly agreed that the supplementary provisions in relation to the strategic cooperation in 1 to 2 above will not affect the continued performance of the strategic cooperation provisions agreed in the Strategic Investor Subscription Agreement. The strategic cooperation provisions agreed in the Strategic Investor Subscription Agreement shall continue to be legally binding on both the Company and Yangtze Ecology. When Yangtze Ecology makes subsequent investment decisions on other projects, it will consider the resources to be allocated for this project to avoid direct competition.

Since the aforementioned Partial Termination Agreement and Supplemental Agreement have not been signed, the specific contractual terms are subject to the final agreements to be signed by both parties.

Shareholders’ attention is also drawn to the overseas regulatory announcements dated 27 January 2021 issued by the Company in relation to the proposed Non-public Issuance of A Shares by the Company.

There are uncertainties as to whether the Company can obtain the Approval in relation to the Non-public Issuance of A Shares. The Company will perform its obligation of information disclosure in a timely manner according to the progress of the above matter conducted by the CSRC. Therefore, Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the securities of the Company.
