Reasons for Entering into the Inventories Sale Agreement
The Group is principally engaged in the production and sale of float sheet glass and is one of the largest manufacturers and distributors of float glass in the PRC. In order to avoid competition between the Group and CLFG, CLFG has leased the Production Line to Longhao Glass. The entering into of the Inventories Sale Agreement enables Longhao Glass to utilize the Inventories that are already located in the warehouse of the Production Line to meet its normal production needs and thus saving the time and costs to procure them from other suppliers.
The terms of the Inventories Sale Agreement were determined after arm’s length negotiations between the parties thereto. The Directors (including the independent nonexecutive Directors) consider that the Inventories Sale Agreement is on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and its terms are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and its Shareholders as a whole.

Mr. Ma Liyun and Mr. Xie Jun, the executive Directors of the Company, and Mr. Zhang Chengong, Mr. Guo Yimin and Mr. Zhang Chong, the non-executive Directors of the Company, have abstained from voting in respect of the Inventories Sale Agreement in the Board meeting due to the fact that they are senior management of CLFG or the controlled entities of its controlling shareholder(s) and are therefore not regarded as independent to make any recommendation to the Board.
