CHAIRMAN
Mr Guo Hong Xin (the "Chairman") called the Meeting to order at 10.00 a.m., and extended a warm welcome to all present at the Meeting. The Chairman informed that the Company Secretary had confirmed that there was a quorum for the Meeting.
The Chairman informed the Meeting that in order for the proceedings to be carried out smoothly and to enhance transparency of the voting results, as well as to accord due respect to the full voting rights of shareholders, the resolutions tabled at the Meeting would be voted on by way of a poll as required under Rule 730A(2) of the Listing Manual of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited.
The Chairman informed the Meeting that the Company had not received any questions from the shareholders of the Company on the resolutions tabled at the Meeting by the cut-off date of 22 April 2026.
The Chairman continued with the business of the Meeting, and informed the Meeting that as the annual report and notice convening the Meeting (the "Notice") had been dispatched to the shareholders on 6 April 2025 and made available on the Company's corporate website and SGXNet, the Notice was taken as read.
The Chairman informed the Meeting that he had been appointed as proxy for certain shareholders, and hence his votes on the resolutions proposed to be passed at the Meeting would also include the votes of such shareholders.
ORDINARY BUSINESS
- ADOPTION OF DIRECTORS' STATEMENT AND AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A shareholder referred to page 92 of the annual report for FY2025 and raised concerns about the significant accumulation of biomass subsidy receivables over recent years. The shareholder observed that the material increase in the Company's share price following the Company's announcement on subsidy collections appeared to reflect heightened investor sensitivity toward the recoverability of these balances. The shareholder sought clarification on whether the 4% expected credit loss ("ECL") rate applied was considered standard for such arrangements, and if it was industry norms for receivables to remain outstanding for more than two to three years.
Ms Yolanda Wang, the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (the "CFO"), reported that the total outstanding balance for biomass subsidies currently stands at approximately RMB260 million. She explained that the Company's impairment policy, including the application of the 4% ECL rate, was determined with reference to comparable industry peers operating within the renewable energy sector in the People's Republic of China ("PRC") as well as historical recovery patterns and the credit risk associated with such receivables, etc.
The Chairman further clarified that although certain subsidies in the PRC were rationalised following the COVID-19 pandemic due to economic and fiscal considerations, the Group's specific biomass projects remain eligible for the relevant subsidies. He emphasised that the outstanding balances were attributable to timing differences in settlement rather than a loss of entitlement. Accordingly, the biomass subsidy receivables remain recoverable from the government authorities and are not considered bad debts.
Ms Winnie Lyu from Investor Relations Department provided additional background on the biomass subsidy receivables. She mentioned that there are two (2) projects, namely, Xintai Project and Tongshan Project, each having one biomass boiler that generates biomass electricity and steam. She further highlighted that, as part of the Group's strategic initiative to mitigate the accumulation of subsidy-related receivables, the Group is progressively pivoting its operational focus towards the sale of more industrial steam and generation of less electricity. This strategic transition is intended to reduce the Group's reliance on government subsidies and strengthen its overall operating cash flow profile.
In response to a shareholder's query regarding the key focus areas for the new Chief Executive Officer in the next two years, Mr Lin Jiankai (the "CEO") reported that the management of the Company (the "Management") remains committed to the Group's core business operations. He added that the Company would continue to explore strategic opportunities within the same industry while focusing on the expansion of existing projects. In addition, the CEO reported that the Group remains proactive in identifying potential merger and acquisition (M&A) opportunities that align with its long-term strategic objectives.
In response to a shareholder's enquiry whether the accumulated losses of the Company, reflected on page 57 of the annual report, has hindered the declaration of a dividend for the financial year under review, the CFO clarified the factors which contributed to the Company's accumulated losses. The CFO further explained that in determining dividend payments, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") adopts a comprehensive approach. This involves evaluating the cash flow position of

the Group as a whole, rather than focusing solely on the Company level, while also carefully considering the Group's ongoing capital expenditure requirements and needs for future growth.
In response to a shareholder's enquiry regarding a comparison of operating margins of biomass and coal as feedstock, the CEO explained that the use of coal was generally more profitable than biomass. However, he highlighted that profitability is not fixed and is subject to several factors, including the volatility of coal prices and transportation costs; therefore, there is no definitive conclusion as to which feedstock is more profitable at any given time. The CEO further clarified that the Group utilises a price adjustment mechanism with its industrial customers to help mitigate such cost fluctuations.
There being no further questions from the shareholders, the Chairman proposed Resolution 1 and requested a shareholder to second the same. The resolution was duly proposed and seconded.
- APPROVAL OF DIRECTORS' FEES FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2026 ("FY2026")

At this juncture, Mr Yang requested to address the Meeting. He informed the Meeting that he had served as an Independent Director of the Company for more than eight years, and throughout his tenure, he had consistently discharged his duties with the utmost integrity and professionalism, and always aiming to prioritise and safeguard the interests of the Company's shareholders, particularly the minority shareholders. Mr Yang expressed his gratitude to both former and current Board members, the Management, the shareholders, and the various professional working parties for their support, which enabled him to fulfill his responsibilities and gain valuable industry knowledge.
He further informed the Meeting that, after due consideration of various factors including changes in the Company's shareholding structure and the Management, he had decided to retire and would not seek re-election as a Director of the Company.
