xii. Provision of Guarantee to a Connected Person

On April 28, 2025, as one of the conditions precedent to the IDCOL Financing Loan Agreement, the Board approved the resolution regarding the IDCOL Guarantee at the 42nd meeting of the first session of the Board. Accordingly, the Board agreed that the Company shall enter into the IDCOL Guarantee Agreement with IDCOL, and provide joint and several liability guarantee for the debts of Envision Enterprise under the IDCOL Financing Loan Agreement (including the loan principal, interest, and any other amounts payable by Envision Enterprise under the IDCOL Financing Loan Agreement) for a maximum guarantee amount of USD11 million (or its equivalent in Bangladeshi Taka) and with a maximum liability period of 12 years, subject to the term of the IDCOL Guarantee Agreement to be entered into.

  • 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the date of this circular, the Company holds 30% equity interests in Shanxi CIII, while Shanxi CIII holds 40% equity interests in Envision Enterprise. Given that the Company has provided a guarantee in excess of its shareholding percentage for Envision Enterprise under the IDCOL Guarantee Agreement, Shanxi CIG HK and Shanxi CIIC have agreed to provide counter-guarantees to the Company in respect of its guarantee liabilities under the IDCOL Guarantee Agreement according to their respective shareholding percentages in Shanxi CIII, whereby the Company is entitled to recover from Shanxi CIG HK and Shanxi CIIC 70% of the aggregate amount of guarantee or indemnity liabilities assumed by it under the IDCOL Guarantee. The term of the counter-guarantees above is up to the expiration of the liability period of the Company as stipulated in the IDCOL Guarantee Agreement.

Reasons for and Benefits of the IDCOL Guarantee

As a key project in Bangladesh, the Bangladesh's 66MW Koba wind power project is the country's first centralised wind farm. The construction plan includes 22 wind turbines with a single unit capacity of 3MW each, along with a supporting booster station and transmission lines. The project is entirely constructed using Chinese technology, Chinese standards, and Chinese equipment, and has been praised by local Bangladeshi media as a "model of China-Bangladesh energy cooperation". The 66MW Koba wind power project in Bangladesh is undertaken by the Company, representing a strong exploration of the Company's response to the "Belt and Road" initiative and the promotion of high-quality transformation and development. Through providing a guarantee for the borrowings of the project company, Envision Enterprise, it can obtain continuous operating funds, ensuring the smooth advancement and implementation of the Koba wind power project. The implementation of the Koba project can effectively promote the Company's "Grand Overseas" development strategy by continuously optimising the "Going Global" cooperation model, assisting in local infrastructure construction, consistently enhancing the corporate brand, and supporting the Company's high-quality development with overseas operational achievements.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Company having made all reasonable enquiries, IDCOL is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons.

Directors' View

The Company held the 42nd meeting of the first session of the Board on April 28, 2025, at which the resolution regarding the IDCOL Guarantee was approved. Pursuant to the Listing Rules, Mr. Wang Limin, Mr. Xu Guanshi, Mr. Zhang Hongjie, Mr. Mu Jianwei and Mr. Feng Cheng are deemed to have material interest in the transactions under the IDCOL Guarantee and have abstained from voting on the resolution regarding the IDCOL Guarantee proposed at the Board meeting. Save as disclosed above, no other Director has a material interest in the IDCOL Guarantee.


LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Board (including the independent non-executive Directors) considers that the terms of the IDCOL Guarantee Agreement are fair and reasonable, that the IDCOL Guarantee is conducted on normal commercial terms or better and is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Listing Rules Implications

Shanxi CIII is a subsidiary of Shanxi CIG, the Controlling Shareholder, and Shanxi CIII holds 40% equity interests in Envision Enterprise, thus Envision Enterprise is an associate of Shanxi CIG and is therefore a connected person of the Company. As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the transactions under the IDCOL Guarantee exceed 0.1% but are less than 5%, such transactions constitute the connected transactions of the Company and are therefore subject to the reporting, announcement and annual review requirements but exempt from independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to the Articles of Association, the transactions under the IDCOL Guarantee are subject to approval at the general meeting of the Company.

Information on the Parties

2025 INVESTMENT PROPOSAL

The year 2025 is a critical year for the full implementation of the spirit of the 20th Central Committee's Third Plenary Session of the Communist Party, and it marks the concluding year of the 14th Five-Year Plan.
