The details and progress of the Significant Assets Restructuring are as follows:

I. THE BACKGROUND AND REASONS OF THE PLANNING OF THE SIGNIFICANT ASSETS RESTRUCTURING

As a result of the significant assets restructuring in 2015, the Company has initially realized the strategic business transformation from common float glass to photoelectric and information display glass, which has significantly improved the asset quality and profitability of the Company, and has laid a solid foundation for the subsequent healthy development of transformation and upgrading, even if there still exists a big gap between the actual situation and the planning goals in terms of assets scale and income level. In order to actively respond to the guideline of state-owned enterprises reform, the Company intends to introduce new energy glass business through assets restructuring, so as to continuously enrich and optimize the product structure of the Company, and to expand and strengthen the new energy glass business, thereby further enhancing the antirisk ability and profitability of the Company, and improving the return level of investors.

II. THE FRAMEWORK OF THE SIGNIFICANT ASSETS RESTRUCTURING

(I) Information of the target assets

The specific scope of the target assets has not been finalized, which are preliminarily identified as the equity assets of new energy glass business.

(II) Major counterparties

The counterparties that may be involved in the transaction include CLFG, the controlling shareholder of the Company, other connected parties controlled by the de facto controller and independent third party(ies), Therefore, the Significant Assets Restructuring may constitute a connected transaction of the Company.

However, the Company has not entered into any restructuring framework or intention agreement(s) with the counterparties.

  • (II) During the period of suspension of trading in the A shares of the Company, the Company has initially identified the independent financial advisor, law firm, audit firm and valuer, which have successively commenced work such as the streamlining of target assets, preliminary due diligence and discussion on the scope of assets, transaction type and restructuring plan.

Since the Significant Assets Restructuring involves a lot of matters as well as internal and external approval procedures, the Company and the relevant counterparties need more time to further communicate, negotiate and discuss the relevant matters.

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) (Guo Zi Fa Chan Quan (2009) No. 124 of the Stateowned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council) (《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》(國務院 國有資產監督管理委員會國資發產權(2009)124號)), prior to the disclosure of a restructuring proposal, the plan of the Significant Assets Restructuring shall be subject to the pre-approval by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council.
