SV Technology has undertaken to on-lend the Deposit to Weldtech Technology as operating capital in the form of shareholder’s loan, which shall be interest-free and repayable on demand. SV Technology has also undertaken not to demand for repayment of such shareholder’s loan before the 30th Business Day after the Completion Date.

In the event Completion does not take place, the Deposit shall be refunded (without interest) to the Purchaser upon written demand.

Save for the amendments as set out in the Supplemental Agreement, the Sale and Purchase Agreement (as supplemented) shall in all respects remain and continue in full force and effect.

REASONS FOR THE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT

Subsequent to the signing of the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Directors and the management of the Weldtech Group have been having discussions on the growth potentials of the energy saving business. As mentioned in the Announcement, the Acquisition would allow the Group to diversify into a new line of business with significant growth potential, which the Directors are of the view that the energy saving industry as set out in ‘‘The 12th Five-Year Plan’’ announced by the PRC government in October 2010 is expected to be one of the seven strategic emerging industries to be developed. As such, the Directors believe the signing of the Supplemental Agreement will be beneficial for the development of the energy saving business. The Directors consider the terms of the Supplemental Agreement are fair and reasonable and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
