(a joint stock limited liability company incorporated in the People’s Republic of China)

(Stock Code: 2386)

PURPORTED TERMINATION OF A PROJECT IN THE UNITED STATES

This announcement is made by Sinopec Engineering (Group) Co., Ltd. (the “ Company ”) pursuant to Rule 13.09 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited and the Inside Information Provisions under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571, Laws of Hong Kong).

On 25 February 2014, the Company received a written notice from Medicine Bow Fuel & Power LLC (“ Medicine Bow ”) purporting to terminate three agreements from 2012 relating to the engineering, procurement and construction of a coal gasification and liquefaction facility near Medicine Bow, Wyoming in the United States. The Company has also received a demand for arbitration that appears to have been filed by Medicine Bow with the American Arbitration Association on 24 February 2014, in which Medicine Bow seeks an award for damages claimed to arise from the alleged breach by the Company of the above alleged agreements to construct a coal gasification and liquefaction facility near Medicine Bow, Wyoming. The Company denies that it has any liability to Medicine Bow and has engaged legal counsel to represent it and intends to defend against the claims vigorously.

As at the date hereof, no payment has been made to the Company by Medicine Bow, and no revenue with respect to Medicine Bow has been recognized by the Group. In light of Medicine Bow’s purported termination, and with regards to the Company’s announcement dated 17 February 2014, the total value of backlog of the Group as at 31 December 2013, excluding any amounts from Medicine Bow, should be adjusted to approximately RMB103.97 billion. The board of directors of the Company (the “ Board ”) wishes to emphasize that the above information in relation to the total value of backlog shall not constitute any forecast or prediction of the profits of the Group.

Yours faithfully, By order of the Board
