The applicable fee or rate offered to the Group by CNBMG Group shall not be less favourable than that offered to other independent third party(ies) on the same or similar services. In principle, the financial services fee shall be settled at the time of provision of such financial services.

The CNBMG Financial Services Framework Agreement shall take effect upon obtaining the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the EGM as required by the Shanghai Listing Rules and shall have a term of 3 years from 1 January 2015 up to 31 December 2017.

The table below summarises the existing cap amounts for the three years ending 31 December 2014 for the CNBMG Financial Services Framework Agreement:

2. THE 2014 PIPED NATURAL GAS SUPPLY SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT AND THE 2015 PIPED NATURAL GAS SUPPLY FRAMEWORK AGREEMENT

Date: 14 November 2014

Parties: (1) Yuantong Energy; and

  • (2) Longhao Glass

— 25 —

Implementation of previous connected transactions:

On 14 November 2013, Longhao Glass entered into the 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement with Yuantong Energy, pursuant to which the maximum transaction amount of RMB89,000,000 for the year ending 31 December 2014 has been set. Details of the 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement were set out in an announcement in relation to the connected transaction of the Company, which was published on the China Securities Journal ( 中國證券報 ), the Shanghai Securities News ( 上海證券報 ), the Securities Daily ( 證券日報 ) and the website of the Shanghai Stock Exchange (http://www.sse.com.cn) on 14 November 2013. The actual transaction amount was approximately RMB81,454,800 as of 30 September 2014.

Revision to the maximum transaction amount for the connected transactions in ordinary course of business for 2014 and the new maximum transaction amount for the connected transactions in ordinary course of business for 2015

In view of the demand from Longhao Glass for its production operation, Longhao Glass entered into the 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Supplemental Agreement with Yuantong Energy on 14 November 2014, pursuant to which the maximum transaction amount of natural gas supply will be revised to RMB124,000,000 for the year ending 31 December 2014. The maximum transaction amount will be increased by RMB35,000,000 and the revision requires approval by the Shareholders at the EGM.

Reason for the revision to the maximum transaction amount

In 2014, Longhao Glass has begun to lease a 600t/d production line, resulting in a substantial increase of use of natural gas amount over its initial estimated amount at the time of contract, as a result the maximum transaction amount for the natural gas supply has to be increased.

In view of the demand from Longhao Glass for its transactions and its production operation in 2014, Longhao Glass entered into the 2015 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement with Yuantong Energy on 14 November 2014, pursuant to which the maximum transaction amount of natural gas supply shall be RMB212,000,000 (inclusive of VAT) for the year from 1 January 2015 up to 31 December 2015. The maximum transaction amount requires approval by the Shareholders at the EGM.

INFORMATION AND RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES TO THE CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION AGREEMENTS

As mentioned above, CNBMG is the ultimate controlling shareholder of CLFG and the Company. Thus, CNBMG and their associates are regarded as connected persons of the Company.

Yuantong Engery, owned as to 10% by CLFG, is principally engaged in the supply and sale of piped natural gas. Mr. Guo Yimin, a former Director who resigned as a Director on 10 September 2014 is currently a director and the vice chairman of Yuantong Engery.

HONG KONG LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

The transaction contemplated under the CNBMG Financial Services Framework Agreement constitutes financial assistance provided for the benefit of the Company on normal commercial terms and is therefore exempted from reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.90 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

As Yuantong Engery is not deemed as a connected person of the Company under the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the transaction contemplated under the 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Supplemental Agreement and 2015 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement do not constitute connected transactions under the Hong Kong Listing Rules and are therefore exempted from reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements.

However, pursuant to the Shanghai Listing Rules, the CNBMG Financial Services Framework Agreement, 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Supplemental Agreement and the 2015 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement are subject to the Independent Shareholders’ approval at the EGM.

— 27 —

EGM

An EGM will be convened for the purposes of, among other things, seeking Independent Shareholders’ approval for each of the New Project Agreements, each of the Non-exempt CCT Agreements and their respective proposed New Caps. CLFG and its associates, which have interests in the transactions contemplated under the New Project Agreements and Nonexempt Continuing Connected Transactions, will abstain from voting in the resolutions in respect of each of the New Project Agreements, each of the Non-exempt CCT Agreements and their respective New Caps at the EGM. At the EGM, votes will be taken by poll.

Mr. Ma Liyun and Mr. Xie Jun, both the executive Directors, Mr. Zhang Chong and Mr. Zhang Chengong, both the non-executive Directors, have abstained from voting to approve the New Project Agreements and New CCT Agreements (except for the 2014 Piped Natural Gas Supply Supplemental Agreement and 2015 Piped Natural Gas Supply Framework Agreement) and their respective New Caps in the Board meeting due to the fact that they are senior management of CLFG or its controlling shareholder and are therefore not regarded as independent to make any recommendation to the Board.

GENERAL

The Independent Board Committee of the Company has been established to give recommendations to the Independent Shareholders in respect of each of the New Project Agreements, each of the Non-exempt CCT Agreements and their respective New Caps. An Independent Financial Adviser has been appointed to advise the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in this regard.

A circular containing, among other things, (i) further details of the New Project Agreements; (ii) further details of the Non-exempt CCT Agreements and their respective New Caps, (iii) a letter of recommendation from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders, (iv) a letter of advice from the Independent Financial Adviser to the Independent Board Committee and the Independent Shareholders in relation to the New Project Agreements, the Non-exempt CCT Agreements and their respective New Caps, and (v) a notice of the EGM, will be despatched to the Shareholders on or before 5 December 2014.
