II. THE PROGRESS OF THE SIGNIFICANT ASSETS RESTRUCTURING
-
Since the suspension of trading in A shares of the Company, the Company and the relevant parties have been proactively advancing the relevant works of the Significant Assets Restructuring, and the framework agreements have been signed by all the counterparties to the transactions.
-
As at the date hereof, the parties to the transactions are further communicating and discussing on the relevant matters including the type and content of the transactions, and complying with the relevant internal and external approval procedures.
-
The plan of the Significant Assets Restructuring has not yet been preapproved by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council (the “ SASAC ”) of China.
III. THE REASONS FOR CONTINUATION OF SUSPENSION OF TRADING IN A SHARES OF THE COMPANY
The Significant Assets Restructuring involves many parties and internal and external approval procedures. The counterparties involved such as Triumph Group, CLFG, Huaguang Group, Bengbu Institute and International Engineering are enterprises either directly or indirectly controlled by China National Building Material Group Co., Ltd, a state-owned enterprise. Pursuant to the provisions under the “Notice on the Relevant Issues Concerning the Regulation of Assets Restructuring between a Listed Company and Its State-Owned Shareholder(s) of the SASAC of the State Council (Guo Zi Fa Chan Quan (2009) No. 124) (《國 務院國有資產監督管理委員會關於規範國有股東與上市公司進行資產重組有 關事項的通知》(國資發產權[2009]124號))”, the plan of the Significant Assets Restructuring is required to be pre-approved by the SASAC of the State Council. As at the date hereof, the plan of the Significant Assets Restructuring has not yet been pre-approved by the SASAC of the State Council. Therefore, the trading in A shares of the Company cannot be resumed as scheduled.
In accordance with the provisions on application requirements as set out in Article 13(1) of the “Business Guide for Suspension and Resumption of Trading for Planning of Material Matters of Listing Companies (《上市公司籌劃重大事 項停復牌業務指引》)” issued by the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Company has made an application to the Shanghai Stock Exchange for the continuation of suspension of trading in its A shares for not more than two months from 8 December 2016 as expected.

IV. REVIEW OPINIONS FROM INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISOR
Morgan Stanley Huaxin Securities Company Limited (“ Morgan Stanley Huaxin Securities ”), the independent financial advisor for the Significant Assets Restructuring, issued the following review opinions in respect of the continuation of suspension of trading in A shares of the Company in relation to the Significant Assets Restructuring:
After review, it is verified that the work related to the Significant Assets Restructuring is being advanced in a proactive manner. Since the Significant Assets Restructuring involves many counterparties, internal and external consideration and approval procedures, and further, the plan of the Significant Assets Restructuring still needs to be pre-approved by the SASAC of the State Council, therefore the plan of the Significant Assets Restructuring is not available for disclosure within 3 months since the suspension of trading in A shares of the Company. Thus, the Company is required to apply for postponement for the resumption of trading in A shares of the Company. Such postponement of resumption of trading in A shares of the Company is conducive to the Company as it can further refine the work related to the Significant Assets Restructuring and prevent unusual fluctuations in the share price of the A shares in the Company, thereby avoiding any damage to the interests of the Company and its shareholders, especially minority shareholders.
In view of the above, Morgan Stanley Huaxin Securities is of the view that the postponement of resumption of trading in A shares of the Company is reasonable and in compliance with the “Administrative Measures on Significant Assets Restructuring of Listed Companies (《上市公司重大資產重組管理辦 法》) (2016 revision)”, the “Business Guide for Suspension and Resumption of Trading for Planning of Material Matters of Listing Companies (《上市公司 籌劃重大事項停復牌業務指引》)” and other relevant provisions. During the period of continuation of suspension of trading in A shares of the Company, Morgan Stanley Huaxin Securities will procure the Company to timely perform its information disclosure obligation according to the progress of the Significant Assets Restructuring, to comply with relevant provisions and commitments, and to advance the work related to the Significant Assets Restructuring, so as to disclose the plan of the Significant Assets Restructuring as soon as possible before 8 February 2017 after completion of all the work of the Significant Assets Restructuring, and to resume trading in A shares of the Company after relevant information disclosure satisfies the applicable requirements of the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

The application for the continuation of suspension of trading in A shares of the Company to be made by the Company satisfies the application requirements as set out in Article 13(1) of the “Business Guide for Suspension and Resumption of Trading for Planning of Material Matters of Listing Companies (《上市公司籌劃重大事項停復牌 業務指引》)” issued by the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
-
