The final dividend is expected to be paid to the Shareholders on or about Friday, 8 July 2022.

Any Shares registered in the name of non-individual registered Shareholders, including HKSCC Nominees, other nominees, trustees or other groups and organisations, will be treated as being held by non-resident enterprise Shareholders and therefore subject to the withholding of the corporate income tax. Cash dividend payable to non-resident enterprise holders of H Shares after deduction of the said corporate income tax is RMB0.288 per Share (for reference only). Cash dividend payable to holders of H Shares will be paid in Hong Kong dollars.

For domestic Shareholders who are securities investment funds investing in H Shares through Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect (such H Shares being registered in the name of HKSCC Nominees and held by CSDC as nominee Shareholder), the Company will withhold and pay individual income tax at the rate of 20% on their behalf in the distribution of the final dividend. For domestic enterprise Shareholders who invest in H Shares through Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect (such H Shares being registered in the name of HKSCC Nominees and held by CSDC as nominee Shareholder), the Company will not withhold or pay enterprise income tax on their behalf in the distribution of the final dividend, and the domestic enterprise Shareholders shall report and pay the relevant taxes payable themselves. Any dividend received in respect of H Shares which have been continuously held by a domestic enterprise Shareholder for 12 months shall be exempt from enterprise income tax.

I. Overview of business supported by banker’s acceptance secured by goods

Banker’s acceptance secured by goods is a financial service provided by a bank to a manufacturer (a seller) and its distributor (a buyer) in a form of banker’s acceptance. It is operated in the following ways: the bank receives from the distributor (the buyer) a certain percentage of deposit (where the minimum percentage is no less than 30%), and in turn issues a banker’s acceptance with the distributor (the buyer) as the payer, and the manufacturer (the seller) as the payee, solely for the payment of trade payables to the manufacturer (the seller). Prior to each request for delivery of goods, the distributor (the buyer) must pay to the bank a deposit in an amount equivalent to the value

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

of goods to be delivered. After the deposit so paid by the distributor (the buyer), the bank will issue a shipment notice in respect of an amount not exceeding the deposit. The manufacturer (the seller) can only deliver such amount of goods to the distributor (the buyer) solely according to the amount of goods set out in the shipment notice issued by the bank. After the sales of goods, the distributor (the buyer) pays further deposit to the bank which in turn issues another shipment notice. This cycle repeats until the outstanding deposit reaches or exceeds the value of the banker’s acceptance issued by the bank. If the outstanding deposit is less than the value of the banker’s acceptance upon its maturity, the manufacturer (seller) must pay to the bank the shortfall between the deposit and the value of the banker’s acceptance.

II. Overview of the proposed business supported by banker’s acceptance secured by goods

Zoomlion Industrial Vehicles proposes to engage in business with its distributors, supported by relevant financial institutions through banker’s acceptance secured by goods, where it will provide joint and several guarantees of up to RMB40 million in favour of its distributors.

(2) Major terms of the agreement governing the banker’s acceptance secured by goods

A. Method of financing

Upon application for issuance of a banker’s acceptance, the distributor must pay an initial minimum deposit to the issuing bank at a rate of no less than 30% of the face value of the banker’s acceptance.

B. Rules of request for goods delivery

Prior to each request for delivery of goods under the sale and purchase agreement, the distributor is required to apply for the issuing bank by completing a form of Application for Request for Delivery, and at the same time, pays such amount of deposit equivalent to the value of goods to be delivered, to a deposit account maintained with the issuing bank. After confirming the receipt of deposit so paid by the distributor, the issuing bank will issue a notice of request for delivery to Zoomlion Industrial Vehicles. Upon receipt of the notice of request for delivery issued by the issuing bank, Zoomlion Industrial Vehicles will issue an acknowledgment of the notice of request for delivery to the issuing bank and, at the same time, deliver goods to the distributor according to the amount value so notified by the issuing bank.

However, there is the risk of loss due to payment of any margin to banks upon closing a position for whatever reasons.

  • (iii) Other risks: In the actual course of implementation, the Company may suffer loss in the course of trading of financial derivatives for reasons, such as incomprehensive internal control procedures, employees’ operation, systems, etc. In addition, if any personnel who is responsible for trading fails to fully understand the terms of the relevant trading contracts and product information, the Company is subject to legal risk and trading loss so incurred.

VII. Risk control measures

  • (1) Zoomlion Finance is responsible for the centralised management of financial derivative investment of the member companies of the Group, real-time tracking of changes and trends in international foreign exchange market, enhancing analysis of foreign exchange and interest rates information, operating in strict compliance with requirements of the Regulations on Internal Control for Financial Derivative Investment, ensuring the effective implementation of those regulations and preventing loss from foreign exchange to the greatest extent.

  • (3) Management of trading counterparties: In the course of investing in financial derivatives, large-scale international and local commercial banks with good standing shall be prudently and carefully selected for financial derivative investment, and the development of the relevant laws and regulations will be kept abreast so as to avoid any potential legal risks.

  • (4) Management on bank accounts and funds will be strengthened, and the approval procedures for fund allocation and utilisation will be strictly observed.

  • (5) In the event of material market change or any material unrealised loss, a special task group will be formed and a contingency system must be promptly established to pro-actively deal with and properly resolve the issue.

  • (6) A proper risk assessment model and a supervising and control system will be selected. All types of risks will be continually monitored, controlled and reported.

15. PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATE TO REPURCHASE H SHARES

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

In accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the following explanatory statement contains all information required by the Hong Kong Listing Rules to enable you to make an informed decision on whether to vote for or against the special resolutions to be proposed at the AGM and the H Share Class Meeting for the grant of the Repurchase Mandate to the Board.

REGISTERED CAPITAL

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the total authorised share capital of the Company was RMB8,677,992,236, comprising 1,581,964,548 H Shares with a nominal value of RMB1.00 each and 7,096,027,688 A Shares with a nominal value of RMB1.00 each.

It is proposed that pursuant to the Repurchase Mandate, up to a maximum of 10% of the number of issued H Shares as at the date of passing of the relevant resolutions at the AGM and the Class Meetings may be repurchased by the Directors. Subject to the passing of the relevant resolutions, on the basis that no further H Shares are issued prior to the AGM and the Class Meetings, the Company would be allowed under the Repurchase Mandate to repurchase up to a maximum of 158,196,454 Shares.

REASONS FOR THE REPURCHASE OF H SHARES

The Board believes that the repurchase of H Shares would be beneficial to and in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. It can boost confidence for corporate growth, protect share prices and practically enhance the investment return of the Shareholders through increasing the profit per Share, and thereby manage investors’ investment expectations, safeguard the investors’ interests and strengthen investors’ confidence in investing in the Company. The Board will decide the number of H Shares to be repurchased on each occasion and the price and other terms upon which the same are repurchased at the relevant time having regard to the prevailing circumstances.

FUNDING OF REPURCHASE

Any repurchase of H Shares would be funded out of funds legally available for such purpose in accordance with the Articles and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC. Under PRC laws, repurchased H Shares should be cancelled and the Company’s registered capital should be reduced by an amount equivalent to the aggregate nominal value of the H Shares so cancelled.

The Board considers that there would not be a material adverse impact on the working capital or the gearing position of the Company (as compared with the position disclosed in the latest published accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2021) in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is exercised in full at any time during the proposed repurchase period.

The Directors have undertaken to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to exercise the power of the Company to make repurchases under the Repurchase Mandate in accordance with the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the applicable laws, rules and regulations of the PRC.

SHARES REPURCHASED BY THE COMPANY

No repurchase of Shares (whether on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange or otherwise) had been made by the Company within the six months preceding the Latest Practicable Date.

CORE CONNECTED PERSONS AND DIRECTORS’ UNDERTAKING

None of the Directors nor (to their best knowledge having made all reasonable enquiries) any of their close associates presently intend to sell H Shares to the Company in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

— 59 —

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

APPENDIX

No core connected persons of the Company have notified the Company that they have a present intention to sell H Shares to the Company and no such persons have undertaken not to sell any H Shares held by them to the Company, in the event that the Repurchase Mandate is granted by the Shareholders.

EFFECT OF THE TAKEOVERS CODE

If, as a result of a share repurchase by the Company, a Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the voting rights of the Company is increased, such increase will be treated as an acquisition for the purpose of the Codes on Takeovers and Mergers and Share Buy-backs (the “ Takeovers Code ”). Accordingly, a Shareholder, or a group of Shareholders acting in concert could obtain or consolidate control of the Company and become obligated to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Hunan Provincial People’s Government (“ Hunan SASAC ”), whose interest in the Company is notifiable under Part XV of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571), indirectly held approximately 14.44% of the Company’s total registered capital. In the event that the Board exercises in full the power to repurchase H Shares in accordance with the terms of the Repurchase Mandate, the increase in the interest of Hunan SASAC in the total registered capital of the Company to approximately 14.71% will not give rise to an obligation to make a mandatory offer in accordance with Rules 26 and 32 of the Takeovers Code.

The Board is not aware of any consequences which will arise under the Takeovers Code and/or any similar applicable law of which the Directors are aware, as a result of any purchases to be made under the Repurchase Mandate.

H SHARE PRICES

The highest and lowest prices at which the H Shares have traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange during each of the 12 months preceding the Latest Practicable Date are as follows:

Highest Lowest
HK$ HK$
2021
April 12.10 10.42

Notes:

The H share register of members of the Company will be closed for the purpose of determining entitlement of holders of H shares to attend and vote at the AGM, from Monday, 30 May 2022 to Thursday, 2 June 2022 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of shares will be registered. In order to attend and vote at the AGM, holders of H shares should ensure that all transfer documents, accompanied by the relevant share certificates, are lodged with the Company’s H share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712–16, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen’s Road East, Wan Chai, Hong Kong not later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 27 May 2022.

  • (2) Recommendation of final dividend distribution, withholding and payment of corporate income tax for non-resident enterprise Shareholders, and closure of H share register of members

The Company intends to distribute a final dividend of RMB0.32 per share (inclusive of tax), amounting to in aggregate approximately RMB2,777 million. If the dividend is declared to be distributed upon the approval of ordinary resolution no. 6 by the Shareholders at the AGM, the final dividend is expected to be paid and issued on or about Friday, 8 July 2022 to the holders of H shares whose names appear on the Company’s H share register of members at the close of business on Tuesday, 14 June 2022.

According to the Law on Corporate Income Tax of the People’s Republic of China and its implementing rules which came into effect on 1 January 2008 and other relevant rules, the Company is required to withhold 10% corporate income tax before distributing the final dividend to non-resident enterprise Shareholders which appear on the Company’s H share register of members.
