REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE REORGANISATION

In recent years, the current structural excess supply in light of the slowing demand and intense competition in the ordinary float glass market in the PRC has an adverse impact on the ordinary float glass business of the Group which has dragged down the economic efficiency and profitability of the Company. The Company expects that such situation will not improve significantly in the near future due to the deteriorating industry trend in the ordinary float glass industry. On 30 December 2011, the State Council of the PRC published the “About Industrial Restructuring the Upgrading Plan (2011-2015)” (《關於工業轉型升級規劃 (2011-2015)》) which emphasises the development of ultra-thin glass substrate, photovoltaic solar cells with ultra-white glass, transparent conductive oxide (TCO) glass and encourages the development and application of low-emissivity (Low-E) coated glass, hollow glass vacuum and other energy-saving glass.

– 18 –

Prior to the Reorganisation, the major products of the Company include ordinary float glass and ultra-thin glass substrate. In order to sustain the continuous development and growth, and enhance the competitiveness and profitability of the Company and hence maximise the interest of the Shareholders, the Company decided to undertake the Reorganisation through (i) the injection of more profitable ultra-thin glass substrate assets from the Incoming Entity to the Company; and (ii) the disposal of assets in the ordinary float glass and related segments with the aim to focus the Group in the production and sale of ultra-thin glass substrate products. After the Reorganisation, the Company will no longer produce ordinary float glass products and will concentrate on the production and sale of ultra-thin glass substrate products. The shift in major products of the Group towards the ultra-thin glass substrate business provides better opportunities for the Company’s growth.

Accordingly, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors whose views will be rendered upon having received the advice of the independent financial adviser) are of the view that the terms of the Formal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR THE DISPOSAL

Based on the preliminary assessment, the Company expects to recognise a net gain of approximately RMB174.87 million upon completion of the Disposal, which is calculated with reference to the difference between the consideration of the Disposal of approximately RMB494.18 million and the sum of the proportionate interests in the audited net assets/ (liabilities) of the Outgoing Entities and the book value of the amounts due from the Outgoing Entities to the Company as at 31 October 2014, which amounts to approximately RMB319.31 million in aggregate. The amount of the actual gain arising from the Disposal will be determined and confirmed by the auditors of the Company subsequent to completion of the Disposal depending on the actual net assets/(liabilities) of the Outgoing Entities and the amounts due from the Outgoing Entities to the Company (which can only be determined upon completion of the Disposal) and therefore may be different from the amount mentioned above.

The consideration to be received by the Company from the Disposal will be fully used to net off the consideration for the Acquisition payable by the Company.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED A SHARE PLACING

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the Proposed A Share Placing represents an opportunity to raise additional capital for the Group to partially finance the Reorganisation and enhance its general working capital base for the business operation of the Group, which is in the interests of the Group.

The proceeds to be raised from the Proposed A Share Placing will not exceed RMB215,000,000. After the settlement of the cash portion of the difference between the considerations of the Disposal and the Acquisition and the deduction of the relevant cost of transaction (including relevant tax, expense, offering cost and intermediary fee, etc.), the remaining net proceeds, which shall not be more than 50% of the gross proceeds from the Proposed A Share Placing in accordance with the New Measures, will be used for general working capital of the Group.

– 19 –

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Proposed A Share Placing, including the issue price, are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable based on the current market conditions and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES IN THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS

The Company has not conducted any fund raising activities involving the issue of equity shares within the 12 months immediately prior to the date of this announcement.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The Reorganisation involves, inter alia, the execution of the Formal Agreement which involves the Disposal, the Acquisition and the issue of the Consideration Shares. As (i) one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Disposal are more than 25% but less than 75%; and (ii) CLFG (as a controlling Shareholder) is a connected person of the Company, the Disposal constitutes a major disposal and connected transaction of the Company. As (i) one or more of the applicable percentage ratios calculated pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Acquisition are more than 25% but less than 100%; and (ii) CLFG (as a controlling Shareholder) is a connected person of the Company, the Acquisition constitutes a major acquisition and connected transaction of the Company.

Accordingly, the Formal Agreement comprising the Disposal, the Acquisition and the issue of the Consideration Shares is subject to the notification, announcement, circular and independent shareholders’ approval requirements of the Listing Rules.

INDEPENDENT BOARD COMMITTEE

The Independent Board Committee comprising all the independent non-executive Directors has been established by the Company to advise the Independent Shareholders on the terms of the Formal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the specific mandates.

Goldin has been appointed as the independent financial adviser to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders as to whether the Formal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the specific mandates are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and make recommendation on voting.

The voting in relation to the Formal Agreement and the specific mandates at the EGM and the Class Meetings will be conducted by way of poll. As the same case of the Framework Agreement, CLFG and its close associates will abstain from voting on the relevant resolutions to be proposed at the EGM and the Class Meetings for approving the Formal Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder and the specific mandates.
