LETTER FROM THE BOARD
Note 1: The influence of withdrawal of Zhongan Zhaoshang (中安招商) and CRCI from equity interests in SEG on profit or losses shall be excluded in net profits attributable to shareholders after deducting non-recurring gains or losses.
Note 2: Selection principles for peer benchmark enterprises: As the Company is engaged in two principal businesses, namely, coal mining machinery and auto parts, and there are no similar peer benchmark enterprises listed on Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges, the Company has selected 103 peer benchmark enterprises from two industries, i.e., special equipment manufacturing and automobile manufacturing where the two principal businesses of ZMJ belong, according to the industry classification regarding listed companies of the CSRC, as the samples for peer benchmark enterprises. If there are significant changes in the principal business of or extreme values with excessive performance variation in the industry samples during the annual evaluation, the Board of the Company will remove such companies and reduce the sample size of peer benchmark enterprises during the year-end evaluation.
Identification of the material changes in the principal business of peer benchmark enterprises is primarily based on the changes in the industry classification regarding listed companies where the principal business of the peer benchmark enterprises belongs (for specific classification, please refer to the Guidelines for the Industry Classification of Listed Companies (2012 Revision) issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission) (subject to the public information) arising from the business reorganisation and operation strategy adjustment of such enterprises from the base year (i.e. 2018) to the end of the evaluation year corresponding to each exercise period.
Identification of extreme values with overly excessive performance variation in the peer benchmark enterprises mainly depends on whether there is an absolute difference of at least 100% between the growth rate of net profits attributable to shareholders of those enterprises after deducting non-recurring gains or losses and the average levels of the industries (i.e. special equipment manufacturing and automobile manufacturing) where those enterprises belong from the base year (i.e. 2018) to the end of the evaluation year corresponding to each exercise period.
4. Performance evaluation requirements for individual Participants
The Company will evaluate the individual performance of the Participants annually, based on the Performance Evaluation Measures (Revision) approved at the Shareholders' Meetings and relevant evaluation measures. The Participant's performance evaluation result for the previous year shall serve as a precondition to determine the exercisable Share Options of that Participant for the current exercise period. The Participant shall in principle reach a "Pass" or above level in the evaluation.

Explanation of the Scientific Basis and Rationality of the Performance Indicators
The performance indicators of the Scheme are categorized into two levels,
namely, performance evaluation at the company level and performance evaluation at the individual level.
Based on the Notice on Issues concerning Regulating the Implementation of the Equity Incentive System by State-controlled Listed Companies 《( 關於規範國有控 股上市公司實施股權激勵制度有關問題的通知》), a listed company shall select at least one of the following three types of performance evaluation indicators: the comprehensive indicators that reflect the shareholders' returns and the company's value creation such as return on common stockholders' equity (ROE), economic value added (EVA) and earnings per share; the growth indicators that reflect the company's ability to earn and market value such as net profit growth rate, prime operating income growth rate and growth rate of total market capitalization of a company; and the indicators that reflect the quality of the company's income such as ratio of prime operating profits to total profits and ratio of operating cash flow to operating profit.
Based on the above, the performance evaluation indicators proposed to be adopted in the Scheme of the Company were the growth value of EVA, the growth rate of the net profits attributable to shareholders after deducting non-recurring gains or losses as compared to 2018 and the ratio of prime operating income to operating income.
EVA is a measure of the ability of business operators in effectively using capital and creating values for shareholders. It serves as an operating performance evaluation tool that reflects a company's ultimate business objectives; net profits attributable to shareholders after deducting non-recurring gains or losses reflects a company's operating profits. The ratio of prime operating income to total operating income reflects the ability of a company in maintaining sound operation. The indicators above not only give full consideration to and ensure shareholders' benefits, but also are able to reasonably reflect the development demand of a company.
Other than the performance evaluation at the company level, the Company also established a strict performance evaluation system for individuals, which can lead to more accurate and comprehensive evaluation of the performance of the Participants. The Company will determine whether the Participants have reached the conditions of exercise based on their performance evaluation results of the previous year.
- 20 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
In conclusion, the evaluation system of the Scheme is all-rounded, comprehensive and feasible, the performance indicators of which are scientific and rational, not only bringing restraints on the Participants but also meeting the evaluation purpose of the Scheme.

- Accounting in the Vesting Period: On each balance sheet date during the Vesting Period, the services obtained in the current period shall be included in the cost of relevant assets or expenses and other capital reserves in capital reserves at the fair value of the Share Options on the Date of Grant, based on the best estimate of the number of exercisable Share Options.

- Risk-freeinterest rate: The same treasury rate as in the option vesting period which were announced at chinabond.com.cn on the valuation base date, which are 2.78%, 2.90% and 2.95%, respectively;
- Dividend rate: If the Scheme adjusts the number and exercise price of Share Options granted over the subject share ex-rights and ex-dividends, the expected dividend payout ratio should be zero.
- Expected Impact of the Exercise of Share Options on the Operating Results of the Company for Respective Periods
The Company will apply the relevant valuation instruments to ascertain the
fair value of the Share Options to be granted on the Date of Grant and confirm the expenses caused by the grant of Shares under the Scheme. Such expenses will be amortized in accordance with the Exercisable Ratio throughout the span of the Scheme. The costs arising from the grant of incentive under the Scheme will be shown under the recurrent profit and loss. Shareholders shall be aware that any calculation of the value of the Share Options as at the Latest Practicable Date is uncertain based on a great number of assumptions and is subject to the limitation of the model.
According to relevant requirements under the PRC accounting standards, the impacts on the costs in accounting of different financial periods caused by the Proposed Grant of Share Options are as follows:
Year | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | Total |
Amortized | ||||||
Cost | ||||||
(RMB0'000) | 253.69 | 1,014.74 | 915.85 | 537.57 | 219.54 | 2,941.39 |
Notes:
1. The results above do not represent the final costs in accounting. The actual accounting costs will take into account the actual numbers of valid and invalid Share Options, in addition to the actual Date of Grant, the share price at the Date of Grant and the number of Share Options granted, and the possible dilutive effects are brought to the attention of Shareholders.
- 33 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. For the ultimate impact on the operating results of the Company, please refer to the annual audit report to be issued by the accountants.
Based on the information available, the Company preliminarily estimates that the amortized costs will only have slight impacts over the net profit of different financial years within the Validity Period of the Scheme, without considering the stimulative effects to be brought by the Scheme. Taking into consideration the positive effect of the grant of the Share Option Incentive Scheme on the development of the Company such as motivating the management team, increasing the operational efficiency and reducing agency costs, the improvement in the Company's results arising from the Scheme shall far outweigh the increase in expenses therefrom.
XIII. DISPUTE RESOLUTION BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE PARTICIPANT
Any disputes between the Company and the Participants that are caused by the implementation of the Scheme or in relation to the Scheme shall be resolved after amicable negotiation. In the event that such negotiation cannot reach an agreement, either party may lodge a civil lawsuit at the people's court where the Company is operating and resolve the disputes through relevant judicial procedures.
XIV. IMPACT OF THE LISTING RULES
The Share Option Incentive Scheme constitutes a share option scheme under Chapter 17 of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, any grant of Share Options under the Share Option Incentive Scheme to any Participant who is a connected person of the Company will be exempted from all the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements pursuant to Rule 14A.92(3)(a) of the Listing Rules.
Since the Share Option Incentive Scheme involves the issue of new A Shares by the Company, Chapter 17 and certain provisions of the Listing Rules are applicable to the Scheme. At the same time, the PRC laws and regulations relating to establishment of share option schemes and grant of share options are also applicable. Hence, the Company has insofar as possible prepared the terms of the Scheme in line with both the requirements of the relevant PRC laws and regulations as well as the Listing Rules, and has applied to and has received from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange a waiver from strict compliance with Note 1 of Rule 17.03(9) of the Listing Rules.
Note 1 of Rule 17.03(9) of the Listing Rules requires that the exercise price must be at least the higher of: (i) the closing price of the securities on the date of granting the options; and (ii) the average closing price of the securities for the five business days immediately preceding the date of granting the options. However, the relevant PRC laws and regulations require that the exercise price of share options under share option schemes shall be the higher of: (i) the average trading price of the A Shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the share option scheme; (ii) the average trading price of the A Shares for the 20/60/120 trading days immediately preceding the date of announcement of the share option scheme; (iii) the closing price of
- 34 -
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
the A Shares on the trading day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the share option scheme; and (iv) the average closing price of the A Shares for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the date of announcement of the share option scheme.
Since the Share Options to be granted under the Scheme involves A Shares only and the exercise price must be determined based on the relevant PRC laws and regulations, the Company has applied to and has received from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange a waiver from strict compliance with Note 1 of Rule 17.03(9) of the Listing Rules.
For details of the exercise price and the basis of determination, please refer to the section headed "V. EXERCISE PRICE AND BASIS OF DETERMINATION" above.
XV. APPROVAL AND SOLICITATION OF VOTES BY INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS
The proposed grant to the Directors has been approved by the independent Directors in compliance with Rule 17.04(1) of the Listing Rules. Pursuant to the share option scheme, independent Directors are not eligible Participants and there is no independent Director who is also a Participant.
Pursuant to the Administrative Measures for Equity Incentives, independent Directors of a company whose securities are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange ("SSE") should solicit votes publicly from its shareholders on resolutions in relation to the adoption of an equity incentive scheme. The purpose of such arrangement is to encourage the securities holders to participate in the voting on the resolutions on the adoption of equity incentive schemes by providing them with an additional way of participation in the meeting(s) of such securities holders. As the A Shares are listed and tradable on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the independent Directors have nominated Mr. Jiang Hua to solicit on behalf of Shareholders votes on all special resolutions in relation to the Scheme to be tabled at the EGM and the Class Meetings. No solicitation is made on the other resolutions which are not related to the Scheme. Mr. Jiang Hua has for the abovementioned purpose prepared the proxy forms for appointing himself as a proxy at the EGM and the H Shareholders Class Meeting respectively. Such proxy forms specific to the independent Directors' solicitation of votes (the "INED Proxy Forms") were despatched together with the notices of the EGM and the H Shareholders' Meeting (the "Meeting Notices"), the regular proxy forms (together with the INED Proxy Forms, the "Proxy Forms") and the reply slips in respect of such meetings by the Company, and also published and made available for downloading on the websites of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange at www.hkex.com.hk. Please refer to the Meeting Notices and the instructions imprinted on the Proxy Forms for details of the solicitation arrangement.
XVI. DOCUMENTS AVAILABLE FOR INSPECTION
A copy of the share option scheme is available for inspection at the Hong Kong office of Clifford Chance at 27/F, Jardine House, 1 Connaught Place, Central, Hong Kong during normal business hours from the date hereof up to and including the date of the EGM and Class Meetings.

Note 1: The influence of withdrawal of Zhongan Zhaoshang (中安招商) and CRCI from equity interests in SEG on profit or losses shall be excluded in net profits attributable to shareholders after deducting non-recurring gains or losses.
Note 2: Selection principles for peer benchmark enterprises: as the Company is engaged in two principal businesses, namely, coal mining machinery and auto parts, and there are no similar peer benchmark enterprises listed on Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges, the Company has selected 103 peer benchmark companies from two industries, i.e., special equipment manufacturing and automobile manufacturing where the two principal businesses of ZMJ belong, according to the industry classification regarding listed companies of the CSRC, as the samples for peer benchmark companies. If there are significant changes in the principal business of or extreme values with excessive performance variation in the industry samples during the annual evaluation, the Board of the Company will remove such samples and reduce the sample size of peer benchmark companies during the year-end evaluation.
Identification of the material changes in the principal business of peer benchmark enterprises is primarily based on the changes in the industry classification regarding listed companies where the principal business of the peer benchmark enterprises belongs (for specific classification, please refer to the Guidelines for the Industry Classification of Listed Companies (2012 Revision) issued by the China

Securities Regulatory Commission) (subject to the public information) arising from the business reorganisation and operation strategy adjustment of such enterprises from the base year (i.e. 2018) to the end of the evaluation year corresponding to each Exercise Period.
Identification of extreme values with overly excessive performance variation in the peer benchmark enterprises mainly depends on whether there is an absolute difference of at least 100% between the growth rate of net profits attributable to shareholders of those enterprises after deducting non-recurring gains or losses and the average levels of the industries (i.e. special equipment manufacturing and automobile manufacturing) where those enterprises belong from the base year (i.e. 2018) to the end of the evaluation year corresponding to each Exercise Period.

Pursuant to the Administrative Measures on Equity Incentives of Listed Companies (上市公司股權激勵管 理辦法) issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Mr. Jiang Hua, an independent non-executive Director (the "INED") of the Company, as nominated by other INED, will serve as the soliciting party and will solicit votes on the resolutions in relation to the Share Option Incentive Scheme to be tabled at the EGM and the 2019 first class meeting of the holders of H shares (the "H Shareholders Class Meeting") to be held on 21 October 2019. No solicitation is made on the other resolutions which are not related to the Share Option Scheme.
The INED has for the abovementioned purpose prepared and enclosed herewith the proxy forms for appointing the INED as a proxy at the EGM and the H Shareholders Class Meeting respectively (collectively, the "INED Proxy Forms"). Should you wish to appoint the INED as your proxy to vote for you and on your behalf at the EGM and/or the H Shareholders Class Meeting, please complete and return the relevant INED Proxy Form(s) to Hong Kong Registrars Limited at 17M/F, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong 24 hours prior to the EGM and/or the H Shareholders Class Meeting (i.e. 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, 20 October 2019 (Hong Kong time)).
If the shareholders appoint the INED repetitively in relation to the matters under solicitation while the content of the appointment is inconsistent, the last INED Proxy Form executed by the Shareholder shall be treated as valid; if it is unable to determine the timing of execution, the last INED Proxy Form received shall be treated as valid.
A shareholder may attend a meeting in person or by proxy notwithstanding the appointment of the INED as the proxy in respect of the matters under solicitation.
If a INED Proxy Form verified to be valid falls under any of the following circumstances, the INED may treat the INED Proxy Form in accordance with the following: - After appointing the INED as the proxy in relation to the voting rights for matters under solicitation, a Shareholder may expressly revoke in writing the appointment of the INED as the proxy prior to the close of registration for the on-site meeting, in which case the appointment of the INED shall be treated as lapsed automatically;
- If a shareholder has appointed someone other than the INED as the proxy to exercise the voting rights for matters under solicitation and to attend the meeting, and expressly revokes in writing the appointment of the INED prior to the close of registration of the on-site meeting, the appointment of the INED shall be treated as lapsed automatically;
- A shareholder shall specify the voting instruction for matters under solicitation in the submitted INED Proxy Form and shall choose either "For" or "Against" or "Abstain" as appropriate. If more than one option have been made, or no option has been indicated, the appointment of the INED shall be treated as lapsed.

NOTICE OF THE FIRST H SHAREHOLDERS CLASS MEETING OF 2019
-
Pursuant to the Administrative Measures on Equity Incentives of Listed Companies (上市公司股權激勵管 理辦法) issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, Mr. Jiang Hua, an independent non-executive Director (the "INED") of the Company, as nominated by other INED, will serve as the soliciting party and will solicit votes on the resolutions in relation to the Share Option Incentive Scheme to be tabled at the 2019 second extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") and the Meeting to be held on 21 October 2019. No solicitation is made on the other resolutions which are not related to the Share Option Scheme.
The INED has for the abovementioned purpose prepared and enclosed herewith the proxy forms for appointing the INED as a proxy at the EGM respectively (collectively, the "INED Proxy Forms"). Should you wish to appoint the INED as your proxy to vote for you and on your behalf at the EGM and/or the Meeting, please complete and return the relevant INED Proxy Form(s) to Hong Kong Registrars Limited at 17M/F, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong 24 hours prior to the EGM and/or the Meeting (i.e. 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, 20 October 2019 (Hong Kong time)).

A shareholder may attend a meeting in person or by proxy notwithstanding the appointment of the INED as the proxy in respect of the voting rights for matters under solicitation.
If a INED Proxy Form verified to be valid falls under any of the following circumstances, the INED may treat the INED Proxy Form in accordance with the following: - After appointing the INED as the proxy in relation to the voting rights for matters under solicitation, a Shareholder may expressly revoke in writing the appointment of the INED as the proxy prior to the close of registration for the on-site meeting, in which case the appointment of the INED shall be treated as lapsed automatically;
- If a shareholder has appointed someone other than the INED as the proxy to exercise the voting rights for matters under solicitation and to attend the meeting, and expressly revokes in writing the appointment of the INED prior to the close of registration of the on-site meeting, the appointment of the INED shall be treated as lapsed automatically;
- A shareholder shall specify the voting instruction for matters under solicitation in the submitted INED Proxy Form and shall choose either "For" or "Against" or "Abstain" as appropriate. If more than one option have been made, or no option has been indicated, the appointment of the INED shall be treated as lapsed.
