As at the Latest Practicable Date, Guangdong Enze was wholly owned by Enze Fund which was a limited partnership established under the laws of the PRC with Sinopec Capital, a substantial shareholder of the Company, holding approximately 45.71% partnership interests therein as the largest limited partner. Furthermore, Sinopec Capital also held 50% equity interest in Shihua Haihe which was the general partner of Enze Fund.
