Save for Yixing New Energy has fulfilled its Profit Guarantee amount for the year 2019, under the Profit Guarantee Indemnity Agreements, the respective Guarantors of Hefei New Energy and Tongcheng New Energy (the “ Relevant Guarantors ”) shall compensate the Company as Hefei New Energy and Tongcheng New Energy have failed to fulfill the Profit Guarantee amount for the year 2019. According to the Profit Guarantee Indemnity Agreements, the respective Guarantors shall first indemnify the Company with the respective Shares obtained by them through the significant assets restructuring, while the Company will repurchase such Shares at the total consideration of RMB1.00. If the Shares held by the respective Guarantors through the significant assets restructuring are insufficient to make up the compensation amount for the current period, the deficiency shall be compensated by the respective Guarantors with their own or self-raised cash.
The formula for calculating the compensation amount for the current period is as follows:
The compensation amount for = (the accumulated Profit Guarantee amount as at the end of the current period the current period of the respective Target Companies – the accumulated Actual Net Profit of the respective Target Companies as at the end of the current period) ÷ the sum of the Profit Guarantee amount for the respective Target Companies during the Profit Guarantee Period × the acquisition consideration for the respective Target Companies – the accumulated compensated amount Number of the compensation = Compensation amount for the current period ÷ the issue shares for the current period price of the Consideration Shares

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
During the Profit Guarantee Period, in the event of capitalization issue by conversion or bonus issue by the Company, the number of compensation shares shall be adjusted correspondingly based on the following formula:
Number of the compensation = Number of the compensation shares for the current period shares (adjusted) for the (before adjustment) × (1 + proportion of capitalization issue current period by conversion or bonus issue)
In addition, the cash dividend distributed by the Company during the Profit Guarantee Period (if any) shall be correspondingly refunded based on the following formula:
Amount to be refunded = Allocated cash dividend per Share (after tax) as at the date of compensation × number of compensation shares for the current period
According to the aforementioned formula of profit compensation, the specific number of Shares to be compensated by the respective Relevant Guarantors for the Profit Guarantee in respect of the year 2019 is set out in the following table:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Notes:
-
(1) To the best knowledge of the Company, HKSCC (Nominees) Limited holds the H Shares as the nominee of public H Shareholders.
-
(2) As at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the Directors is interested in any Shares.
Reasons for and benefits of the Share Buy-backs
As Hefei New Energy and Tongcheng New Energy failed to fulfill the Profit Guarantee amount under the Profit Guarantee Indemnity Agreements, the Company shall make Share Buy-backs according to the Profit Guarantee Indemnity Agreements.
Given that the Share Buy-backs are entered into on normal commercial terms and arrived at after arm’s length negotiations between the parties thereto, and conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the parties, the Board (including independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the terms of the Share Buy-backs are on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
Information of the Company, CLFG, Hefei High-tech, Huaguang Group, Bengbu Institute and International Engineering
The principal activities of the Company are production and sales of information display glass and new energy glass. The scope of business includes development, production, manufacture and installation of information display glass, new energy glass, photoelectric material for functional-glass category and its processed products and components, relevant materials, mechanical equipment and its electric appliances and accessories, relevant technical consultancy and technical services, as well as sales and after-sales services of self-produced products.
CLFG, the substantial Shareholder of the Company, is principally engaged in the production and sale of float glass, imports, exports and the domestic sale of processing technology of glass, design and subcontracting of engineering works, labour export and other businesses.
Hefei High-Tech, an Independent Third Party, is principally engaged in five major business sectors including construction of infrastructure, sales of real estate, sales of production facilities, leasing business and disposal of assets.
Huaguang Group, an indirect subsidiary of CNBMG, is principally engaged in manufacturing and sales of float glass, ITO conductive film glass and further processed glass products.
– 6 –
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Bengbu Institute, the substantial Shareholder of the Company, and an indirect wholly- owned subsidiary of CNBMG, is principally engaged in engineering management and services sector, manufacture of equipment sector, new materials sector and new glass sector (including ITO conductive film glass, TFT-LCD glass and float glass).
International Engineering, an associate of CNBMG, is principally engaged in engineering technology research and service, which mainly includes general contracting business of glass, cement and new energy and engineering project design business.
Implications under the Share Buy-backs Code and Listing Rules
As disclosed in the Circular, the repurchase mechanism under the Profit Guarantee Indemnity Agreements falls within the definition of “exempt share buy-back” under the Share Buy-backs Code and shall not constitute an off-market share buy-back given that the Share Buy-backs by the Company will be conducted in accordance with the terms of the Profit Guarantee Indemnity Agreements, such that prior consent from the respective owners of the Shares for such repurchase by the Company will not be required.
As at the Latest Practicable Date, CLFG, the substantial Shareholder of the Company, was interested in 112,614,918 A Shares, representing approximately 20.39% of the total issued share capital of the Company, and Bengbu Institute was interested in 70,793,520 A Shares, representing approximately 12.82% of the total issued share capital of the Company. Bengbu Institute directly holds 19% equity interest in CLFG and Bengbu Institute is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CNBMG, a wholly state-owned enterprise incorporated in the PRC, which through its another wholly-owned subsidiary, indirectly holds approximately 53.64% interest in CLFG. Therefore, CNBMG is the ultimate controlling Shareholder of the Company and deemed to be interested in 183,408,438 A Shares held by CLFG and Bengbu Institute by virtue of the SFO, representing approximately 33.20% of the total issued share capital of the Company. As at the Latest Practicable Date, Bengbu Institute is the substantial Shareholder of the Company and an indirect subsidiary of CNBMG and each of CLFG and Huaguang Group is an indirect subsidiary of CNBMG and International Engineering is an associate of CNBMG. Therefore, each of CLFG, Huaguang Group, Bengbu Institute and International Engineering is regarded as a connected person of the Company.
As all the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules) under the Share Buy-backs are more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the Share Buy-backs are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but exempt from independent shareholders’ approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. However, in accordance with the articles of association of the Company and as disclosed in the Circular, the Company is required to convene a general meeting and class meetings for the Independent Shareholders to consider and approve the Share Buy-backs.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Relevant resolutions on the Share Buy-backs include (i) the buy-backs of 1,844,708 A shares from CLFG and Hefei High-Tech, (ii) the buy-backs of 2,011,369 A shares from Huaguang Group, Bengbu Institute and International Engineering under the Profit Guarantee Indemnity Agreements as Hefei New Energy and Tongcheng New Energy failed to fulfill the Profit Guarantee amount for the year 2019, and (iii) the grant of authorisation to the Board to handle the share repurchase, cancellation, registered capital reduction and relevant matters, amendments to relevant articles of Articles of Association of the Company in respect of total share capital and equity structure, and the implementation of relevant registration and filing procedures inside or outside the PRC.
CNBMG and parties acting in concert with it and Shareholders who are interested in or involved in the Share Buy-backs will abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions on the Share Buy-backs at the AGM and the Class Meetings. Save for CNBMG and parties acting in concert with it and Hefei High-Tech, there is no other Shareholder who is interested or involved in the Share Buy-backs.
The relevant resolutions on the Share Buy-backs shall only be approved by two thirds or more of votes casted by the Independent Shareholders attending the AGM and the Class Meetings by way of poll as a special resolution. The Share Buy-backs and the relevant formalities under the PRC laws and regulations shall take place as soon as possible upon approval by the Independent Shareholders.
Directors’ Interests
Mr. Zhang Chong, the chairman of the Board, Mr. Xie Jun, an executive Director, Mr. Chen Yong and Mr. Ren Hongcan, non-executive Directors of the Company, have abstained from voting in respect of the Share Buy-backs at the Board meeting(s) due to the fact that they have connected relationship with the substantial Shareholder(s) or indirect controlling Shareholder(s) of the Company and are therefore not regarded as independent to make any recommendation to the Board.
III. AGM AND H SHARE CLASS MEETINGS
The AGM will be held to consider and, if thought fit, approve (among others) the Share Buy-backs. The Class Meetings will be held by the Company to consider and, if thought fit, pass the resolutions related to the Share Buy-backs.
