With reference to the appraised net assets value of BEH Finance as stated in the New Valuation Report, the subscription price of the increased registered capital of BEH Finance has been increased to RMB1.30 per unit BEH Finance Registered Capital (representing an increase of approximately 2.4% as compared with the subscription price under the 2018 Original Capital Increase Agreement (i.e. RMB1.27 per unit BEH Finance Registered Capital)).

Finance, BEH, the Company and Jingneng Power shall

contribute RMB78,000,000, RMB1,222,000,000 and

RMB1,300,000,000, respectively.

Basis of Consideration

: The subscription price represents RMB1.30 per

unit BEH Finance Registered Capital, which was

determined after arm's length negotiation between the

parties with reference to the appraised net assets value

of BEH Finance as stated in the New Valuation Report

Accordingly, the final subscription price of the

increased registered capital of BEH Finance will be

determined in accordance with the following formula:

Subscription price of each unit BEH Finance

Registered Capital in relation to the increased

registered capital of BEH Finance = appraised net

assets value of BEH Finance as registered by BEH (as

authorized by the Beijing SASAC)/BEH Finance's

existing registered capital (i.e. RMB3 billion).

For illustration purpose, based on the appraised net

assets value of BEH Finance as stated in the New

the subscription price of each unit BEH Finance

Registered Capital of the increased registered capital

of BEH Finance is RMB1.30 per unit BEH Finance

Registered Capital.

Agreement is conditional upon the fulfilment of the

Increase Agreement takes effect.

Date.

BEH, the Company and Jingneng Power shall be

entitled to the profits, and shall be responsible for any

loss, of the Target Company during the Transitional

Period in proportion to their respective shareholding

in the Target Company upon the completion of the

Proposed Subscription. Notwithstanding the above,

if the Target Company didn't receive all monies the

parties shall contribute under the 2019 New Capital

Increase Agreement on or before 31 March 2020,

the Existing Shareholders of BEH Finance shall be

entitled to the profits, and shall be responsible for

any loss, of the Target Company from 1 September

2019 to 31 December 2019 (both days inclusive) in

proportion to their respective shareholding in the

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Principal Assumptions of the Valuation

The parties to the 2019 New Capital Increase Agreement have engaged CUAA to perform the valuation in respect of the net assets of the Target Company.

As the valuation was prepared based on the income approach, which involves the use of the discounted cash flow, the valuation as set out in the New Valuation Report prepared by CUAA is regarded as a profit forecast under Rule 14.61 of the Listing Rules.

The valuation was performed based on the following principal assumptions:

  1. General assumptions
    • transaction assumption: all assets to be appraised are assumed to be already in the process of transaction, and the valuer appraise the value based on the trading conditions of the assets to be appraised in a simulated market. The transaction assumption is one of the most basic prerequisites that assets valuation can be carried out.
    • open market assumption: it is assumed that for assets to be traded or intended to be traded in the market, the parties to an asset transaction shall have equal status, and also have opportunity and time to gain sufficient market information, so as to make rational judgment on functions, purposes and trading prices of assets. The open market assumption is based on the fact that assets can be publicly traded on the market.
    • asset going-concern assumption: the valuation methods, parameters and basis shall be determined correspondingly based on the fact that the assets under valuation will continue to be used according to the current use and the mode, scale, frequency and environment, etc. or used on a change basis when appraising.
  2. Special assumptions
    • There is no significant change in the current macroeconomic and tax policies of PRC.
    • There is no significant change in the socio-economic environment where the appraised enterprise is operated as well as the taxes, tax rates and other policies implemented.
    • The scope of valuation shall be only limited to the evaluation return provided by BEH Finance without taking into account its contingent assets and contingent liabilities that may exist outside the list provided by the appraised entity.

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • The future management team of the appraised enterprise will perform its duties satisfactorily and continue to maintain going concern of its existing business operation model.
  • The appraised enterprise will continue to lease and use its current office premise in the future.
  • The main business income of the appraised enterprise is mainly derived from the current business operations and investment income without taking into account the incremental business that the enterprise may have in the future.
  • The valuation is only based on the current business strategies, operating capabilities and operating conditions as at the New Valuation Reference Date without taking into account possible changes in the future due to the change in management team.
  • There will be no significant change in the central bank exchange rate during the forecast period.
  • The appraised entity shall withdraw the surplus reserve and general risk reserve in accordance with the relevant regulations, and distribute its remaining profits in full if the regulatory standards for capital adequacy ratio are satisfied.
  • The business scale of the appraised entity is limited to the existing capital scale without taking into account the impact of future possible capital increase on its business scale development.

If any of the assumption above-mentioned changes, generally the valuation will be invalid.

Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, the reporting accountants of the Company, has reported to the Directors as required by Rule 14.62 of the Listing Rules in regards to the calculations of the discounted future cash flows used in the valuation. Gram Capital confirms that it has made the profit forecast of the Target Company after due and careful enquiries.

A report from Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as required under Rule 14.62 of the Listing Rules and the letter from the Board relating to the profit forecast of the Target Company are set out in the Appendix II and Appendix III to this circular, respectively.

  1. Reasons for and Benefits of the Proposed Subscription and the Effect of the Proposed Subscription

Upon completion of the Proposed Subscription, the shareholding of the Company in BEH Finance will be increased from 2% to 20%, which allows the Company to benefit more from the business expansion and growth in net profits of BEH Finance. Accordingly, the further investment in BEH Finance through the Proposed Subscription is expected to generate more investment return for the Company.

- 12 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Proposed Subscription also represents a unique opportunity for the Company to invest in a company which engages in the provision of financial services. BEH Finance is a non-banking financial institution approved by the relevant PRC authorities to engage in the provision of various financing services, including taking deposit and providing loans, and is primarily providing financial services to companies within the group members of BEH.

In addition, since the incorporation of BEH Finance, the Company has engaged BEH Finance to provide various financial services, details of which were set out in the announcements issued by the Company on 25 October 2016 and 16 October 2019. The Company expects to continue to engage BEH Finance to provide such service as BEH Finance has a more thorough understanding of the business development and capital needs of the subsidiaries of the Company and is able to provide such services in a timely manner. Given the Company pays BEH Finance for the services it received based on normal commercial terms, increasing shareholding in BEH Finance by the Company is also in the interest of the Company since the Company will enjoy a larger portion of the profit and revenue earned by BEH Finance.

Based on the above, the Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors, whose view will be given in the Letter from the Independent Board Committee in relation to the discloseable and connected transaction regarding the Proposed Subscription) consider that the terms (including but not limited to the subscription price of RMB1.30 per unit BEH Finance Registered Capital determined with reference to the updated appraised net assets value of BEH Finance as stated in the New Valuation Report) of the 2019 New Capital Increase Agreement are fair and reasonable, and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

As the shareholding of the Company in BEH Finance will increase from 2% to 20% upon completion of the Proposed Subscription, the investment in BEH Finance of the Company will be recognised by the Company as investment in associate under the equity method, instead of currently being recognised by the Company using cost method.

  1. Listing Rules Implication

As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Proposed Subscription exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the Proposed Subscription constitutes a discloseable transaction of the Company and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

- 13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the latest practicable date, BEH directly and indirectly holds 68.68% equity interest in the Company and is a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. BEH Finance is a subsidiary of BEH and thus constitutes a connected person of the Company by virtue of being an associate of BEH. Accordingly the Proposed Subscription also constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As the highest applicable percentage ratio in respect of the Proposed Subscription exceeds 5%, the Proposed Subscription is subject to the reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company currently operates seven gas-fired cogeneration plants. Historically, only four gas-fired cogeneration plants of the Company supplies to BEH. According to Guiding Opinions on the Separation and Transfer of "Three Supply and

One Property" in the Family Areas of Staff and Workers of State-OwnedEnterprises( 關 於 國 有 企 業 職 工 家 屬 區" 三 供 一 業" 分 離 移 交 工 作 指 導 意 見》) (the "Three Supply and One Property"), state-ownedenterprises (including enterprises and scientific research institutes) are required to separate its functions of water supply, power supply, heat supply and property management from state-ownedenterprises and transfer them to specialized units (such as BDHG) for management. In response to the above policy and for a better centralized management and aftersales management (e.g. dispute resolution, payment collection, etc.), the Company is optimizing its heat supply mechanism from "the Group supplies to BEH and also other clients/end-usersat the same time" (the "Existing Heat Supply Mechanism") to "the Group supplies to BEH and then BEH supplies to other clients/end-users"(the "New Heat Supply Mechanism"). Such change will not have a material impact on the Company's financial and operating status and the Company will continue to determine the prices of the transactions under the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement according to the above-mentionedpricing policy. Despite that the Group may also supply heat to other clients/end-usersdirectly in the future, having considered that (i) the aforesaid possible heat supply volume would be immaterial to total expected heat supply volume (in GJ) for the three years ending 31 December 2022; and (ii) the heat supply mechanism for the aforesaid heat supply may also change from the Existing Heat Supply Mechanism to the New Heat Supply Mechanism and for the sake of prudence, the Directors included the aforesaid possible heat supply volume (in GJ) in the total expected heat supply volume (in GJ) to be supplied by the Group to BEH for the three years ending 31 December 2022.

In light of the historical heat supply volume (in GJ) for the six months ended 30 June 2019 was similar to that for the six months ended 30 June 2018, the Company expects the heat supply volume (in GJ) to be supplied by the Group for the year of 2019 would remain similar level as compared to that for the year of 2018.

The state-prescribed unit prices of heat supply period of 2016, 2017 and 2018 were 87 RMB/GJ, 89 RMB/GJ and 91 RMB/GJ, respectively, which is prescribed by Beijing Development and Reform Commission ( 北京市發展和改革委員會). Based on the historical trend, the state-prescribed unit price is expected to be stable with minor fluctuations. Based on the above, the estimated amounts (in RMB) (calculated by the multiple of estimated daily heat supply volume (in GJ) and expected heat supply days and estimated state-prescribed unit price, and excluding of tax) for the three years ending 31 December 2022 is close to the proposed annul caps above.

- 17 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Company considers such annual caps, based on the abovementioned factors are reasonable, taking into account the following circumstances: (i) the implementation of the relevant clean-air action plans of Beijing Municipal, which will further reduce the coal-fired heat supply and increase the use of gas-fired heat in Beijing; (ii) the Company's objective to make full use of the current production capacity so as to increase utilization rate and improve production efficiency; and

  1. as the construction of gas-fired thermal power plants in Beijing is subject to the overall planning of the Beijing municipal government while the public policy related to heat supply in Beijing is formulated based on the operation of each gas-fired thermal enterprises in Beijing and the heat supply demand of Beijing citizens, the heat supplied to BEH and/or its associates by the Company is used for heating during winter times for citizens in Beijing under the public policy.

In order to protect the interests of the Company's shareholders (including minority shareholders) as a whole, the Company has adopted internal approval and monitoring procedures for the transactions under the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement, including:

  1. the relevant functional departments will conduct prior review each time before the Company entering into a specific agreement under the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement. The senior management of the Company will re-examine the decision making and approval procedure in relation to such specific agreement to ensure the price of the heat energy is on normal commercial terms or on terms no less favourable to those provided by independent third parties;
  2. the Company will prepare a report on the continuing connected transaction on a quarterly basis, or on a monthly/weekly basis if the actual transaction amounts are likely to exceed the estimated transaction amount forming the basis of the annual caps based on the records kept by and the reports from the relevant functional departments of the Company as stated below to review the actual amount of the proposed annual caps, so as to ensure that the proposed annual caps will not be exceeded;
  3. the relevant functional departments of the Company will keep records of and monitor the transactions conducted under the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement (including but not limited to the transaction amounts) and regularly monitor, supervise, inspect and evaluate the execution of such transactions in real time and report to the Company if the actual transaction amounts are likely to exceed the estimated transaction amount forming the basis of the annual caps according to the Company's Management Measures on Connected Transactions. The Company will monitor at the Group level to confirm that the aggregated transaction amounts are within the annual caps; and

- 18 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. the independent non-executive Directors and auditors of the Company will conduct annual reviews of the transactions under the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement and provide annual confirmations in accordance with the Listing Rules, confirming that the transactions are conducted in accordance with the terms of the agreement on normal commercial terms and in line with the pricing policy.

Having considered the above-mentioned monitoring procedures, the Company is of the view that such measures are effective to ensure the proposed annual caps will not be exceeded.

  1. Reasons for benefits of the continuing connected transaction

Under the "heat-power cogeneration" ( 熱 電 聯 產) operating model, part of the steam from the power generator is further utilized to heat the water in the city's heat supply network to supply heat energy to residential and industrial end-users. Alternatively, the steam can be sold to industrial end-users directly, instead of omitted to the air. Because heat and energy cogeneration can further utilize the waste steam, cogeneration plants can achieve a higher energy utilization rate and lower cost than non-cogeneration power plants. As such, the gas-fired power and heat energy generation business of the Company based on the "heat-power cogeneration" operating model is more profitable than the single power generation or single heat generation business model.

According to Administrative Measures of Heat Supply and Heating of Beijing Municipality ( 北 京 市 供 熱 採 暖 管 理 辦 法 》), heat supply should comply with the principle of unified planning and localized management. As Beijing District Heating (Group) Co., Ltd. (the "BDHG"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of BEH, is the only central heat supply company whose network covers the area where power plants of of the Group are located and thus, the Company must sell the gas-fired heat energy through BDHG network in the absence of any alternative purchasers, and more importantly, the Company must sell heat energy generated by power centers to BDHG in order to meet the requirement of "subject to the unified schedule by BDHG based on heat supply standard". The provisions of the Administrative Measures of Heat Supply and Heating of Beijing Municipality ( 北京市供 熱 採 暖 管 理 辦 法》) are different from those of the Three Supply and One Property, but both require the Company to sell the heat produced by its thermal power plants to BDHG. Since the Administrative Measures of Heat Supply and Heating of Beijing Municipality ( 北 京市供熱採暖管理辦法》) was promulgated in 2009, the Company has strictly abided by its relevant requirements. Therefore, the Company's financial and operating conditions will not be significantly affected in the future.

As heating is the basic living needs of Beijing urban and rural residents in winter, and heat supply is infrastructural public cause directly relates to the public interests, heat supply during the heat supply period is and will become the Group's yearly permanent and stable source of income. As such, the Board is of the view that the entering into of the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement is in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Deposit Services

The proposed annual caps of the deposit services under the Financial Services Framework Agreement for the three years ending 31 December 2022 are determined after taking into account: (i) the maximum daily deposit balance (including interest accrued thereon) for the two years ended 2018 and the six months ended 30 June 2019 were RMB1,220.00 million, RMB1,455.00 million and RMB1,899.75 million, respectively, which are close to the approved annual cap of RMB1,500 million, 1,750 million and 2,000 million during the relevant periods; (ii) the anticipated increase in the daily outstanding balances of deposits of the Group attributable to the expected increase in revenue, which is in line with the increase in revenue in recent years (i.e. the Group recorded an increase in revenue from approximately RMB14,227.4 million for the year of 2017 to approximately RMB16,238.8 million for the year of 2018, representing an increase of approximately 14.14%) and the expected increase of the Group's business operation; and (iii) the cash and equivalents and trade and bills receivable (which will convert into cash if such trade receivables are settled) of our Group as of 30 June 2019 of approximately RMB3.94 billion and RMB5.67 billion, respectively, due to the nature of business, the concentrated settlement arrangements and internal funds allocation requirements of the Group. Given that BEH Finance has a more thorough understanding of the business operation and development of the Group and can provide the financial services in a more timely manner and at comparable or better terms to the Group, the Company intends to place more deposit with BEH Finance to further strengthen its capital management.

Loan Services

As the loan services provided by BEH Finance to the Group are on normal commercial terms which are similar to or no less favourable than those offered by independent third parties for comparable services in the PRC, and no security over the assets of the Group will be granted in respect of such loan services, the loan services are exempted from reporting, announcement and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As such, no cap has been set for such services.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Other Financial Services

The proposed annual caps for the other financial services under the Financial Services Framework Agreement for the three years ending 31 December 2022 are determined after taking into account the following factors: (i) the historical transaction amounts of such services for the two years ended 2018 and the nine months ended 30 September 2019 were RMB7.56 million, RMB10.55 million and RMB8.59 million, respectively; (ii) given the development of the Group's business operation, the Group needs larger and more flexible services of capital investment and management; and (iii) under the Company's development strategy and expansion plan, there will be an increase of subsidiaries of the Company in the future. The Company plans to leverage its low cost financing advantages (such as bonds issuance) to provide loans to its subsidiaries by using the entrusted loan services provided by BEH Finance.

To safeguard the interests of our shareholders as whole, including the minority shareholders, the Company has adopted internal approval and monitoring procedures relating to the transactions under the Financial Services Framework Agreement, which include the followings:

  1. Before entering into any new deposit arrangements with BEH Finance, the Company will obtain quotes from other independent financial institutions for similar deposit services for similar duration.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

    1. the independent non-executive Directors and auditors of the Company will conduct annual review of the transactions under the Financial Services Framework Agreement (including the rates and fees charged in respect of the transactions) and provide annual confirmations in accordance with the Listing Rules that the transactions are conducted in accordance with the terms of the agreement, on normal commercial terms and in accordance with the pricing policy.
  1. Reasons for and benefits of the continuing connected transaction
    BEH Finance is under the supervision of the China Banking Regulatory Commission

and it has been maintaining satisfactory operating results and financial position with good risks control and well-regulated management in the past years.

We believe BEH Finance has a more thorough understanding of the business development and capital needs of the fellow subsidiaries of the Company at a lower cost and in a more timely manner. As such, BEH Finance has an advantage in communicating information on capital needs and business development of the Company with its fellow subsidiaries.

The entering into of the Financial Services Framework Agreement will not prevent the Group from using services offered by other independent PRC commercial banks. The Group may still select other major and independent PRC commercial banks to act as its financial services providers as it thinks fit and appropriate for the benefits of the Group.

The transactions under the Financial Services Framework Agreement form part of the daily operations of the Group. In addition, the operation of the Group requires flexible and diversified financial services.

The Company is of the view that the transactions do not have any adverse effect on the assets and liabilities of the Group. Instead, the Group can earn interests out of the deposit transactions and enjoy benefits derived from diversified financing channels.

  1. Financial impact on the Company

The Company expects increase in earnings due to interest income from the funds deposited to BEH Finance. The transactions under the Financial Services Framework Agreement will not affect the assets or liabilities of the Company.

With reference to the Board Letter, based on the unaudited consolidated financial statements of BEH Finance for the eight months ended 31 August 2019 prepared in accordance with the PRC GAAP, the unaudited net assets of BEH Finance as at 31 August 2019 was approximately RMB3.65 billion.

  1. THE PROPOSED SUBSCRIPTION

1. Reasons for and benefits of the Proposed Subscription

We noted from website of China National Association of Finance Companies that average capital adequacy ratio of finance companies was approximately 20.88% as at 30 June 2019. As advised by the Directors, BEH Finance's capital adequacy ratio (after profit distribution) was approximately 17.48% as at 30 June 2019, which was lower than the average ratio. Based on the preliminary calculation by the Directors, BEH Finance's capital adequacy ratio (after profit distribution) would be increased upon the completion of the Proposed Subscription and above the average, based on BEH Finance's information as at 30 June 2019. In addition, the Proposed Subscription will allow BEH Finance to increase its registered capital and working capital, facilitate its business expansion and improve its overall profitability and shareholders' return level. The Company, as its shareholder, is also expected to benefit from such improvement.

With reference to the Board Letter, upon completion of the Proposed Subscription, the shareholding of the Company in BEH Finance will be increased from 2% to 20%, which allows the Company to benefit more from the business expansion and growth in net profits of BEH Finance (e.g. BEH Finance's increasing trend in profit after taxation for the most recent three financial years). Accordingly, the further investment in BEH Finance through the Proposed Subscription is expected to generate more investment return for the Company.

The Proposed Subscription also represents a unique opportunity for the Company to invest in a company which engages in the provision of financial services. BEH Finance is a non-banking financial institution approved by the relevant PRC authorities to engage in the provision of various financing services, including taking deposit and providing loans, and is primarily providing financial services to companies within the group members of BEH.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Upon our further enquiry, the Directors advised us that the size of increased registered capital (i.e. RMB2 billion) was mainly determined with reference to, among other things, the registered capital of major large-scale power group's group finance company. For our due diligence purpose, we searched group finance companies which was owned by major large-scale power group (the "Power Group Finance Companies"). Set out below is the public information as extracted from National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System.

Based on the above findings and that registered capital of BEH Finance will be increased from RMB3 billion to RMB5 billion upon completion of the Proposed Subscription, we do not doubt the reasonableness of the size of increased registered capital (i.e. RMB2 billion).

With reference to the Board Letter, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Proposed Subscription is still subject to certain conditions precedent, among which, the approval of Proposed Subscription by the Beijing Branch of China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission. However, the valuation report on BEH Finance prepared by CUAA has expired on 30 August 2019 and CUAA was engaged to prepare the New Valuation Report as required by the relevant government authorities in the PRC.

Having considered the above, in particular that (i) the Proposed Subscription was approved by the then independent shareholders of the Company on 30 January 2019, but the valuation report on BEH Finance prepared by CUAA has expired on 30 August 2019 and CUAA was engaged to prepare the New Valuation Report as required by the relevant government authorities in the PRC; and (ii) the Proposed Subscription allows the Company to benefit more from the business expansion and growth in net profits of BEH Finance, we concur with the Directors that the Proposed Subscription, although is not conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

Subscription price of each unit BEH Finance Registered Capital in relation to the increased registered capital of BEH Finance = appraised net assets value of BEH Finance as approved by the Beijing SASAC/BEH Finance's existing registered capital (i.e. RMB3 billion).

For illustration purpose, based on the appraised net assets value of BEH Finance as stated in the New Valuation Report prepared by CUAA and above, the subscription price of each unit BEH Finance Registered Capital of the increased registered capital of BEH Finance is approximately RMB1.30 per unit BEH Finance Registered Capital.

The New Valuation Report was issued by CUAA, an independent valuer. For our due diligence purpose, we reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of CUAA as valuer to conduct the Valuation; (ii) CUAA's qualification and experience in relation to the preparation of the New Valuation Report; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by CUAA for conducting the Valuation.

We noted that CUAA was engaged by BEH Finance and BEH to prepare the New Valuation Report. Having considered the following factors, including:

  1. as required under provision four of《 資 產 評 估 基 本 準 則 》(Asset Evaluation Standards - Basic Standards*, the "Valuation Standards") as issued by Ministry of Finance of the RPC and updated in 2017, asset appraisal institution and its professional staff shall carry out asset appraisal activities in accordance with provisions of laws and administrative regulations, uphold to the principle of independence, objectivity and impartiality;
  2. as required under provision six of the Valuation Standards, when asset appraisal institution and its professional staff shall carry out asset appraisal activities, they (a) should perform independently in analysing, evaluating and forming their opinion; (b) should not be affected by client or its relevant persons; and (c) should not determine the value on pre-setting basis; and
  3. 《 資 產 評 估 職 業 道 德 準 則 - 獨 立 性 》(Code of Professional Ethics for Asset Evaluation - Independence*) as issued by China Appraisal Society in 2012 further elaborate and emphasis the independence of asset appraisal institution and certified valuers,

we do not doubt the independence of CUAA in respect of the preparation of the New Valuation Report.

As regards the qualifications and experience of CUAA, we conducted reasonable checks to assess the relevant qualifications, experience and expertise of CUAA, including reviewing supporting documents such as CUAA's introduction material, historical deal list, etc.. Moreover, we interviewed CUAA as to its qualifications, expertise and independence, and their terms of engagement.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

From the mandate letter and other relevant information provided by CUAA and based on our interview with them, we are satisfied with the terms of engagement of CUAA as well as their qualification and experience for preparation of the New Valuation Report. CUAA also confirmed that they are independent to the Group, BEH Group, BEH Finance and their respective associates.

We further reviewed the New Valuation Report and enquired into CUAA on the methodology adopted and the basis and assumptions adopted in arriving at the Valuation in order for us to understand the New Valuation Report. When preparing the New Valuation Report, CUAA applied asset-based approach and income approach (which involved discounted cash flow method) as valuation approach. CUAA finally adopted the income approach (which involved discounted cash flow method) in concluding the New Valuation Report. As confirmed by CUAA, the income approach is a commonly adopted approach for valuation of companies and is also consistent with normal market practice.

We further understood from the Valuer that:

  1. considering that there is no finance company which has been listed on a stock exchange, and the financial and business data of unlisted finance companies with comparable transactions are difficult to collect, the market approach was not adopted in this valuation;
  2. taking into account the special nature of the enterprise as a group finance company, on the one hand, it has the franchise license for collecting and lending funds within the group, on the other hand, the assets it managed and the loans it released are mostly off-balance-sheet assets, there are certain limitations in the measurement of the value of its franchise license and the value of off-balance-sheet assets by adopting the asset-based approach;
  3. Since the valuation results by using the income approach focuses on the overall profitability of the appraised entity in future and reflects the actual value of the enterprise by discounting the expected cash flow, the actual profitability of the enterprise can be more accurately reflected from the income approach. By comparing the two valuation approaches above, it is considered that valuation results by using the income approach can reflects the value of total equity interests of the shareholders of BEH Finance more appropriately.

Having considered (i) the fact that a comfort letter was made by the Directors regarding profit forecast; (ii) qualification and experience of CUAA; (iii) the New Valuation Report was prepared by CUAA in accordance with, among other things, the Valuation Standards; and (iv) based on information provided by the Company, BEH Finance is able to generate incomes, we do not doubt the reasonableness of adoption of income approach for the Valuation by CUAA.

- 43 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

As CUAA adopted income approach (which involved discounted cash flow method) to appraise the net assets value of BEH Finance, in such case, it is stipulated under Rule 14.62 of the Listing Rules that the Company is required to obtain (i) a letter from its auditors or reporting accountants confirming that they have reviewed the accounting policies and calculations for the forecast and containing their report; and (ii) a report from its financial advisers confirming that they are satisfied that the forecasts in such valuations have been made by the directors after due and careful enquiry, if no financial advisers have been appointed in connection with the transaction, the Company must provide a letter from the Board confirming they have made the forecast after due and careful enquiry. We consider that the above stipulation of the Listing Rules could safeguard the interest of the Shareholders.

We noted that (i) the Company's auditor confirmed that in their opinion, the discounted future estimated cash flows of the Target Group, so far as the calculations are concerned, have been properly compiled, in all material respects, in accordance with the Assumptions (as defined in Appendix II to the Circular).; and (ii) the Board confirmed that they have made the profit forecast of the Target Company after due and careful enquiry. For details of principal assumptions of the valuation, please refer to the section headed "Principal assumptions of the Valuation" of the Board Letter.

We also understood from CUAA in respect of various factors/assumptions that CUAA considered/adopted during the course of valuation, such as discount rate, risk-free rate, market expectation rate of return, etc..

Free cash flow to equity

The valuation is based on operating results recorded in previous years of BEH Finance. The estimates on future operation and revenue of BEH are conducted through analysis over segments, revenue, costs, growth movements, etc.. As advised by CUAA, CUAA believed that the free cash flow to equity was reasonable after considering the historical performance of BEH Finance and relevant assumptions regarding the Valuation. As mentioned above, we also noted that the Board issued the letter confirming that they have made the profit forecast of the Target Company after due and careful enquiry. Having also considered (i) that the Board confirmed that they have made the profit forecast of the Target Company after due and careful enquiry; and (ii) CUAA's qualification and experience, we do not doubt the fairness and reasonableness of expected free cash flow to equity of BEH Finance.

Discount rate

When applying the income approach (which involved discounted cash flow method) to estimate the Valuation, an appropriate discount rate for the assets under review was necessary. We noted that CUAA used the capital asset pricing model (the "CAPM") to estimate discount rate of BEH Finance. In arriving at the discount rate, CUAA took into account a number of factors including (i) risk free rate; (ii) market expectation rate of return; (iii) specific risk adjustment factor of the target company; and (iv) expected market risk factor for equity capital (i.e. β). As there was no listed finance company, beta was determined with reference to a number of comparable banks. Details of the calculation for discount rate was set out under the section headed "Discount rate" in the New Valuation Report as contained in Appendix I to the Circular.

- 44 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

For our due diligence purposes, we understood that (i) the CAPM technique is widely accepted for the purpose of estimating a company's required rate of return on equity; and (ii) there was no group finance company which is listed on PRC (including Hong Kong) stock exchange.

In addition, we also obtained list of mid-term and long-term treasury bond ( 國債) with maturities and interest rates. Furthermore, according to " 國 債、 地 方 政 府 債 券 發 行 和 市 場 運 行 情

(2019 9 )" (The National Debt, the Issuance of Local Government Bond and the Market Operation (September 2019)*) as published by Ministry of Finance of the PRC on 28 October 2019, average interest rates for mid-term and long-term treasury bond (10 years, 30 years and 50 years) were approximately 3.17%, 3.84% and 3.96% for the first nine months of 2019. Therefore, we consider the risk free rate of 3.79%, which the CUAA adopted, was justifiable.

We noted from Wind Info (Wind 諮詢)note that based on closing prices (from 1 September 2014 to 31 August 2019) of companies, which were engaged in monetary financial services ( 貨幣 金融服務) as classified by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, listed on the PRC stock exchange, the implied beta of such companies ranged from approximately 0.59 to 1.06, with average of 0.80. The beta of 0.9052 fell within the aforesaid range. Accordingly, we consider that the beta adopted by CUAA to be justifiable.

We noted from "Country Risk: Determinants, Measures and Implications - The 2019 Edition" updated on 23 July 2019, the author of which is Aswath Damodaran (being a Professor of Finance at New York University Stern School of Business), equity risk premium of China was 6.46%. According to the New Valuation Report, CUAA adopted 6.26% as market risk premium (i.e. market expectation rate of return - risk free rate), which was close to the estimated equity risk premium as mentioned in the above research.

According to the New Valuation Report, CUAA adopted 2% as the specific risk adjustment factor. The specific risk adjustment factor is determined according to the difference in financing conditions, capital liquidity and governance structure between the appraised target and comparable listed companies and the relative risk level of the industry in which the appraised target operates. Despite that according to statistics on the website of China National Association of Finance Companies, the overall risk indicators of the finance company industry suffers adverse change (i.e. from the end of 2018 to the first and second quarters of 2019, the overall non-performing asset ratio of the finance company industry increased from 0.46% to 0.74%, and the liquidity ratio decreased from 63.17% to 58.84%, mainly due to the influence of external economic environment), however, the risks of which are relatively moderate and will not affect the specific risk adjustment factor. Having considered that (i) BEH Finance's main customers are intra-group companies and as such is under lower competitive pressure; and (ii) the risks are relatively moderate and will not affect the specific risk adjustment factor; we consider that the specific risk adjustment factor of 2% adopted by CUAA in the New Valuation Report, which was the same as that adopted by CUAA in the original valuation report, to be justifiable.

Furthermore, the discount rate of 11.46% as adopted in the New Valuation Report was close to the discount rate of 11.15% which was adopted in the original valuation report on BEH Finance prepared by CUAA dated 28 November 2018.

Note: Based on the website of Wind Info, Wind Info was founded in 1994. As the market leader in China's financial information services industry, Wind Info is dedicated to provide accurate and real-time information, as well as sophisticated communication platforms for financial professionals.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Having considered the above factors, in particular (i) the CUAA's experience and qualification; and (ii) the discount rate of 11.46% as adopted in the New Valuation Report was close to the discount rate of 11.15% which was adopted in the original valuation report on BEH Finance prepared by CUAA dated 28 November 2018, we do not doubt the fairness and reasonableness of discount rate (which was calculated based on risk free rate and other factors of CAPM model) as applied by CUAA.

Based on the above and information/documents (e.g. explanation to key factors, calculations, etc.) in respect of the Valuation provided to us by CUAA/Company and having considered CUAA's qualification and experience, we have not identified any major factors which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the valuation (including forecast period and value of the surplus or non-operating assets (liabilities)).

Having also considered (i) our due diligence work on the Valuer in respect of the New Valuation Report; and (ii) the Rule 14.62 of Listing Rules requirement, in particular, the Board confirmed that they have made the profit forecast of the Target Company after due and careful enquiry, we consider that principal bases and assumptions adopted for the Valuation to be reasonable.

However, Shareholders should note that valuation of assets or companies usually involves assumptions and therefore the BEH Finance's valuation may or may not reflect the value of BEH Finance as at 31 August 2019 accurately.

Having considered the principal terms of the Proposed Subscription, we are of the opinion that the terms of Proposed Subscription are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable.

3. Possible financial effects of the Proposed Subscription

As advised by the Directors, upon completion of the Proposed Subscription, the Company will hold 20% of equity interest in BEH Finance and the aforesaid equity interest will be accounted for as investments in associates of the Company.

With reference to the 2019 Interim Report, the unaudited consolidated net asset value ("NAV") of the Group was approximately RMB22.3 billion as at 30 June 2019. The Directors expect that the Proposed Subscription would not have material impact on the NAV of the Group.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon completion of the Proposed Subscription.

4. Recommendation on the Proposed Subscription

Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the opinion that

  1. the terms of the Proposed Subscription are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable; and (ii) although the Proposed Subscription is not conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, it is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Proposed Subscription and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.

  1. THE CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS
  1. Heat Supply Transaction
    1. Reasons for benefit of the Heat Supply Transaction

With reference to the Board Letter, under the "heat-power cogeneration" ( 熱 電 聯 產) operating model, part of the steam from the power generator is further utilized to heat the water in the city's heat supply network to supply heat energy to residential and industrial end-users. Alternatively, the steam can be sold to industrial end-users directly, instead of omitted to the air. Because heat and energy cogeneration can further utilize the waste steam, cogeneration plants can achieve a higher energy utilization rate and lower cost than non-cogeneration power plants. As such, the gas-fired power and heat energy generation business of the Company based on the "heat-power cogeneration" operating model is more profitable than the single power generation or single heat generation business model.

With reference to the 2018 Annual Report, gas-fired power generation and heat energy generation is the core business segment of the Company. As at 31 December 2018, the Company operates seven gas-fired cogeneration plants with 4,702 megawatt of consolidated installed capacity in Beijing.

According to《北京市供熱採暖管理辦法》(Administrative Measures of Heat Supply and Heating of Beijing Municipality*) (the "Measures"), heat supply should comply with the principle of unified planning and localized management. With reference to the Board Letter, as BDHG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of BEH, is the only central heat supply company whose network covers the area where power plants of the Group are located and thus, the Company must sell the gas-fired heat energy through BDHG network in the absence of any alternative purchasers, and more importantly, the Company must sell heat energy generated by power centers to BDHG in order to meet the requirement of "subject to the unified schedule by BDHG based on heat supply standard".

As heating is the basic living needs of Beijing urban and rural residents in winter, and heat supply is infrastructural public cause directly relates to the public interests, heat supply during the heat supply period is and will become the Group's yearly permanent and stable source of income.

Having considered the above reasons, we concur with the Directors that the Heat Supply Transaction is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group.

The Group agrees to sell and BEH and/or its associates agrees to purchase, from time to time, heat energy produced by power plants of the Group.
The Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement is for a term of three years commencing from 1 January 2020 and ending on 31 December 2022.
The transaction under the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement is conducted at state-prescribedunit price, which is determined by Beijing Municipal Commission of Development and Reform from time to time. The state-prescribedunit price was a fixed price.

Pricing

With reference to the Board Letter, the Company is of the view that the pricing in respect of the transaction under the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement to be reasonable and sufficient to cover the costs incurred by the Company after taking into account the following considerations: (i) according to the Interim Measures for the Price Control of Urban Heat Supply (FA GAI JIA GE [2007] No. 1195) ( 城市供熱價格管理暫行辦法》( 發改價格[2007]1195 )), the state-prescribed unit price is determined by reference to, among other things, the costs incurred by the heat suppliers (such as the price of natural gas, electricity, water, fixed asset depreciation, repairs, wages), the consideration for the profitability of the heat suppliers and the tax imposed on the heat suppliers. In particular, according to the Notice on Heat Factory Price Fluctuation of Local

Gas-firedThermal Power Plants during 2018-2019Heat Supply Period (Jing Fa Gai [2018] No. 2469)(《關於2018-2019 供暖季本市燃氣熱電廠熱力出廠價格浮動問題的通知》( 京發改

[2018]2469 )), the prescribed unit price set by Beijing municipal government is determined with reference to the cost, profit and tax payables of all the gas-fired thermal power plants in Beijing (i.e. heat suppliers); and (ii) the gas-fired power and heat energy generation business of the Company based on the operation model of "heat-power cogeneration" ( 熱電聯產) is profitable as evidenced by the historical financial results of the Company. Under such pricing mechanism, the range of the Company's profit margin for the two years ended 2018 and six months ended 30 June 2019 was approximately 16.73% to 19.37%.

For our due diligence purpose, we enquired into the Directors regarding the pricing policy and understood that there was no specific heat price which were determined in past heat supply contracts given that heat energy price shall be consistent with the state-prescribed unit price. Having considered that (i) the state-prescribed unit price is the only determinant of heat energy price in respect of the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement; (ii) the execution of state-prescribed unit price is mandatory to both parties to the individual agreements under the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement, we consider that such pricing principle is justifiable.

With reference to the Board Letter, the Heat Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2022 are determined after taking into account of various factors, details of which were set out under the section headed "Framework Heat Sale And Purchase Agreement" of the Board Letter.

For our due diligence purpose, we obtained calculations (the "Calculations") regarding the Heat Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2022. According to the Calculations, we noted that the Heat Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2022 were calculated by (i) estimated heat supply volume (in GJ) of 27,000,000 GJ; and (ii) the estimated unit selling price (RMB/GJ) of RMB95/GJ.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Estimated heat supply volume

As advised by the Directors, the estimated heat supply volume (in GJ) was determined based on historical volume of heat as supplied by the Group to both connected persons and independent third parties. According to《關 於 國 有 企 業 職 工 家 屬 區" 三 供 一 業" 分 離 移交工作指導意見》(Guiding Opinions on the Separation and Transfer of "Three Supply and One Property" in the Family Areas of Staff and Workers of State-Owned Enterprises*) state-owned enterprises (including enterprises and scientific research institutes) are required to separate its functions of water supply, power supply, heat supply and property management from state-owned enterprises and transfer them to specialized units (such as BDHG) for management. In response to the above policy and for a better centralized management and aftersales management (e.g. dispute resolution, payment collection, etc.), the Company is optimizing its heat supply mechanism from "the Group supplies to BEH and also other clients/end-users at the same time" (the "Existing Heat Supply Mechanism") to "the Group supplies to BEH and then BEH supplies to other clients/end-users" (the "New Heat Supply Mechanism"). Despite that the Group may also supply heat to other clients/ end-users directly in the future, having considered that (i) the aforesaid possible heat supply volume would be immaterial to total expected heat supply volume (in GJ) for the three years ending 31 December 2022; and (ii) the heat supply mechanism for the aforesaid heat supply may also change from the Existing Heat Supply Mechanism to the New Heat Supply Mechanism and for the sake of prudence, the Directors included the aforesaid possible heat supply volume (in GJ) in the total expected heat supply volume (in GJ) to be supplied by the Group to BEH for the three years ending 31 December 2022.

As further advised by the Directors, in light of the historical heat supply volume (in GJ) for HY2019 (as defined below) was similar to that for HY2018 (as defined below) (decrease by approximately 3.9%), the Directors expected the heat supply volume (in GJ) to be supplied by the Group for 2019 would remain similar level as compared to that for 2018.

Based on the Calculations, the Company expects that the heat supply volume (in GJ) to be supplied by the Group for each of the three years ending 31 December 2022 represented an increase of approximately 10.7% as compared to that for 2018 (the "Expected Increase").

For our due diligence purpose, we also obtained the historical heat supply volume of the Group (in GJ) for FY2017, FY2018, the six months ended 30 June 2018 ("HY2018") and the six months ended 30 June 2019 ("HY2019"). The growth rate of actual volume of heat as supplied by the Group to both connected persons and independent third parties for the three years ended 31 December 2018 are summarized below.

According to the above table, the Expected Increase, which was lower than the change of heat supply volume (in GJ) from 2016 to 2017 and 2017 to 2018 and indicated that the Directors' estimation was determined for sake of prudence, was justifiable. Accordingly, we consider that the expected heat supply volume (in GJ) for the three years ending 31 December 2022 (calculated by heat supply volume in 2018 (in GJ) × (1 + 10.7%)) to be justifiable.

Estimated state-prescribed unit price

According to the Calculations, the estimated unit selling price (RMB/GJ) is RMB95/GJ.

For our due diligence purpose, we obtained information regarding the ex-factorystate-prescribed unit price during recent heat supply periods, details of which are as follows:

Based on the above table and the Calculations, we noted that the change of estimated state-prescribed unit price for 2020 was in line with the trend of previous state-prescribed unit prices as mentioned above. For the sake of prudence, the Directors assumed expected state-prescribed unit price for the three years ending 31 December 2022 to be the same. In light of the above, we consider the Directors' estimation of the unit selling price for the three years ending 31 December 2022 to be justifiable.

Based on the Calculation, the estimated amounts (in RMB) (calculated by the multiple of estimated heat supply volume (in GJ) and estimated state-prescribed unit price (both of which are justifiable as analysed above), and excluding of tax)(Note) (i.e. 27,000,000 GJ × RMB95/GJ/(1+13%) = approximately RMB2,269.9 million) for the three years ending 31 December 2022 were closed to (difference was less than 0.1%) the Heat Caps. Accordingly, we concur with the Directors that the Heat Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2022 are fair and reasonable.

Shareholders should note that as the Heat Caps are relating to future events and were estimated based on assumptions which may or may not remain valid for the entire period up to 31 December 2022, and it does not represent forecasts of revenue to be recorded from the Heat Supply Transaction. Consequently, we express no opinion as to how closely the actual revenue, purchase or income to be incurred under the Heat Supply Transaction will correspond with the Heat Caps.

Note: The Company applied value-added tax rate of beginning of 2017 (i.e. 13%) when determining the Heat Caps after taking into consideration of (among other things) possible effect of value-added tax rate adjustment during 2017 to 2019.

4. Listing Rules implication

The Directors confirmed that the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rules 14A.53 to 14A.59 of the Listing Rules pursuant to which (i) the values of the Heat Supply Transaction must be restricted by the Heat Caps for the period concerned under the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement; (ii) the terms of the Heat Supply Transaction must be reviewed by the independent non-executive Directors annually; (iii) details of independent non-executive Directors' annual review on the terms of the Heat Supply Transaction must be included in the Company's subsequent published annual reports and financial accounts. Furthermore, it is also required by the Listing Rules that the auditors of the Company must provide a letter to the Board confirming, among other things, whether anything has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the Heat Supply Transaction (i) have not been approved by the Board; (ii) were not, in all material respects, in accordance with the pricing policies of the Group; (iii) were not entered into, in all material respects, in accordance with the relevant agreement governing the transactions; and (iv) have exceeded the Heat Caps. In the event that the total amounts of the Heat Supply Transaction are anticipated to exceed the Heat Caps, or that there is any proposed material amendment to the terms of the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement, as confirmed by the Directors, the Company shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Listing Rules governing continuing connected transaction.

Given the above stipulated requirements for continuing connected transactions pursuant to the Listing Rules, we are of the view that there are adequate measures (e.g. (i) the Company will prepare a report on the continuing connected transaction on a quarterly basis or on a monthly/ weekly basis, if the actual transaction amounts are likely to exceed the estimated transaction amount forming the basis of the annual caps based on the records, to review the actual amount of the proposed annual caps, so as to ensure that the proposed annual caps will not be exceeded; (ii) the above stipulated requirements) in place to monitor the Heat Supply Transaction and thus the interest of the Independent Shareholders would be safeguarded.

5. Recommendation on Heat Supply Transaction

Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms of the Heat Supply Transaction are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable; and (ii) the Heat Supply Transaction is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Framework Heat Sale and Purchase Agreement and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.

  1. THE DEPOSIT SERVICE

1. Reasons for benefit of entering into the Deposit Service

According to the Board Letter, the Directors believe that BEH Finance has a more thorough understanding of the business development and capital needs of the Company and its fellow subsidiaries of the Company at a lower cost and in a more timely manner. As such, BEH Finance has an advantage in communicating information on capital needs and business development of the Company and its fellow subsidiaries.

With reference to the Board Letter, the entering into of the Financial Services Framework Agreement will not prevent the Group from using services offered by other independent PRC commercial banks. The Group may select other major and independent PRC commercial banks to act as its financial services providers as it thinks fit and appropriate for the benefits of the Group.

Pursuant to the Financial Services Framework Agreement, the interest rate to be paid by BEH Finance for the Group's deposits with BEH Finance shall not be lower than the same level deposit interest rate as published by the People's Bank of China for the same periods and shall be no less favourable than those available to the Group from independent third parties.

With reference to the Board Letter, to safeguard the interests of our Shareholders as whole, including the minority shareholders, the Company has adopted internal approval and monitoring procedures relating to the transactions under the Financial Services Framework Agreement, details of which are set out under the sub-section headed "Historical transaction amounts and proposed annual caps" under the section headed "Financial Services Framework Agreement" of the Board Letter. Having considered that there would be deposit rates comparison procedures before the entering into any new deposit arrangements with BEH Finance (i.e. before entering into any new deposit arrangements with BEH Finance, the Company will obtain quotes from other independent financial institutions (at least two general commercial banks in the PRC) for similar deposit services for similar duration. Such quotes, together with the offer from BEH Finance, will be reviewed by the Finance Management Department and finally approved by the chief accountant of the Company before it can be accepted), we consider that the implementation of the aforesaid measures would help to ensure fair pricing of the Deposit Service according to the pricing policies.

We also discussed with staffs of Company's (a) Finance Management Department; and (b) subsidiaries finance departments, and understood that the staffs conducted deposit rates comparison procedures before the entering into any new deposit arrangements with BEH Finance with the quotes obtained from at least two general commercial banks in the PRC. In addition, as confirmed by the staffs, they will continue to comply with aforesaid comparison procedures when conducting the Deposit Service.

Having considered (i) Our Findings on Deposit Record; (ii) our discussion with the staffs who complied and will continue to comply with deposit rates comparison procedures before the entering into any new deposit arrangements with BEH Finance as mentioned above, we do not doubt the effectiveness of the implementation of the internal procedures for the Deposit Service.

In light of the above, we are of the view that the terms of the Deposit Service are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

We noted from the 2019 Interim Report that as at 30 June 2019, (i) total amount of Group's cash and cash equivalents amounted to RMB3.94 billion; and (ii) trade and bills receivable (which will convert into cash if such trade receivables are settled) amounted to RMB5.67 billion. The sum of the aforesaid two items (the "Sum") amounted to RMB9.61 billion as at 30 June 2019. The Sum (which is larger than the Deposit Caps) indicates the Group's possible demand of deposit services to be provided by commercial banks and the BEH Finance.

The Deposit Caps for each of the three years ending 31 December 2022 represents an increase of RMB1,000 million (the "Increase") as compared to the respective annual cap in the preceding year. To further assess the fairness and reasonableness of the Increase, we summarised the relevant financial information (i) for the year ended 31 December 2018, being the latest available public full-year financial information immediately prior to the date of the Financial Services Framework Agreement; (ii) for the year ended 31 December 2015, being the latest available public full-year financial information immediately prior to the date of Previous Framework Agreement. We also listed out the Group's (a) cash and cash equivalents; and (b) trade and bills receivables as at 30 June 2019 and 30 June 2016 respectively, being the latest available public financial information immediately prior to the date of the Financial Services Framework Agreement and the date of Previous Framework Agreement respectively, as follows:

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Based on the above table, we noted that there was a substantial increase in revenue for FY2018 (being the latest available public full-year financial information immediately prior to the Latest Practicable Date) as compared to that for 2015 (being the latest available public full-year financial information immediately prior to the date of Previous Framework Agreement). There was also a substantial increase in cash and cash equivalents and significant increase in trade and bills receivables as at 30 June 2019 (being the latest available financial information immediately prior to the date of Financial Services Framework Agreement) as compared to those as at 30 June 2016 (being the latest available financial information immediately prior to the date of Previous Framework Agreement).

As illustrated in the section earlier, the Group recorded an increase in revenue from approximately RMB14,227.4 million for FY2017 to approximately RMB16,238.8 million for FY2018, representing an increase of approximately 14.14% for FY2018 (being the latest full year financial information of the Group) as compared to that for FY2017.

In addition, based on the above table, the degrees of increase in the amount of Deposit Caps for each of the three years ending 31 December 2022 (i.e. RMB1,000 million per annum) were less than the degrees of increase in the Sum and the Group's revenue. Furthermore, the maximum increase between the Deposit Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2022 and the Deposit Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2019 (i.e. RMB3,500 million, calculated by RMB5,000 million for the year ending 31 December 2022 - RMB1,500 million for the year ended 31 December 2017) was also less than the degrees of increase in the Sum.

Furthermore, in July 2018, the Company completed a subscription of domestic Shares and H Shares to raise approximately RMB2,021 million and HK$1,207 million (net proceeds). With reference to the 2018 Annual Report, the Proceeds have been used to repay the bonds and loans as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.

In lights of the above, we consider the Increase to be justifiable.

Having considered that (i) the proposed annual caps are less than the Sum as at 30 June 2019 (which also indicates the Group's possible demand of deposit services); and (ii) the Increase is justifiable as mentioned above, we are of the view that the Deposit Caps for the three year ending 31 December 2022 are fair and reasonable.

As advised by the Directors, it is difficult to forecast the total cash level for whole period of three years for the three years ending 31 December 2022. Nevertheless, should there be any substantial increase in total cash of the Group, the Group may opt to deposit larger portion of cash in commercial banks or re-comply with the applicable provisions of the Listing Rules governing continuing connected transaction to revise the Deposit Caps.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

4. Listing Rules implication

The Directors confirmed that the Company shall comply with the requirements of Rules 14A.53 to 14A.59 of the Listing Rules pursuant to which (i) the maximum values of the Deposit Service must be restricted by the Deposit Caps for the period concerned under the Financial Services Framework Agreement; (ii) the terms of the Deposit Service must be reviewed by the independent non-executive Directors annually; (iii) details of independent non-executive Directors' annual review on the terms of the Deposit Service must be included in the Company's subsequent published annual reports and financial accounts. Furthermore, it is also required by the Listing Rules that the auditors of the Company must provide a letter to the Board confirming, among other things, whether anything has come to their attention that causes them to believe that the Deposit Service (i) have not been approved by the Board; (ii) were not entered into, in all material respects, in accordance with the relevant agreement governing the transactions; and (iii) have exceeded the Deposit Caps. In the event that the total amounts of the Deposit Service are anticipated to exceed the Deposit Caps, or that there is any proposed material amendment to the terms of the Financial Services Framework Agreement, as confirmed by the Directors, the Company shall comply with the applicable provisions of the Listing Rules governing continuing connected transaction.

Given the above stipulated requirements for continuing connected transactions pursuant to the Listing Rules, we are of the view that there are adequate measures in place to monitor the Deposit Service and thus the interest of the Independent Shareholders would be safeguarded.

5. Recommendation on Deposit Service

Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms of the Deposit Service are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable; and (ii) the Deposit Service is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and is conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Deposit Service and we recommend the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.

Yours faithfully,

For and on behalf of

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

VII. THE METHODS OF VALUATION

  1. Selection of valuation methods

According to the requirements of the Assets Valuation Practicing Standards - Enterprise Value (Zhong Ping Xie [2017] No. 36), when performing the valuation for enterprise value, the valuer shall, based on the purpose of valuation, the target of valuation, type of value and materials collection and other relevant conditions, analyze the applicability of the three assets valuation approaches, namely income approach, market approach and asset-based approach, and appropriately select one or more assets valuation approach.

The income approach in the valuation for enterprise value refers to the valuation method of determining the value of the target of valuation by capitalizing or discounting the expected income. The valuer shall consider the applicability of the income approach appropriately after taking into account a combination of the historical operating conditions and the predictability of future earnings, and the adequacy of the valuation data obtained. The market approach in the valuation for enterprise value refers to the valuation method of determining the value of the target of valuation by comparing the target of valuation with comparable listed enterprises or comparable transaction cases. The valuer shall consider the applicability of the market approach appropriately based on the adequacy and reliability of the operation and financial information available of the comparable enterprises, and the number of comparable enterprises that can be collected. The asset-based approach in the valuation for enterprise value refers to the method of determining the value of the target of valuation by reasonably valuating the value of each asset and liability of the enterprise based on the balance sheet of the appraised enterprise on the Valuation Reference Date.

The purpose of this valuation is to increase capital, and the asset-based approach reflects the value of the enterprise from the perspective of enterprise construction, which provides a basis for the management and assessment of the enterprise after the realization of economic behaviors. Therefore, the asset-based approach shall be adopted in this assets valuation.

Considering that the historical annual operating income of the appraised enterprise is relatively stable and its income and risks can be reliably estimated in the future, the income approach can be adopted in this assets valuation.

Considering that there is no finance company which has been listed on a stock exchange, and the financial and business data of unlisted finance companies with comparable transactions are difficult to collect, the market approach was not adopted in this valuation.

In summary, the asset-based approach and the income approach are adopted in this valuation.

- 68 -

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

  1. Introduction of the asset-based approach
    The valuation methods for various types of assets and liabilities are set out below:
    1. Monetary funds

As of the Valuation Reference Date, monetary funds primarily represented demand and term deposits with People's Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Industrial Bank, Postal Savings Bank of China and other institutions by BEH Finance. The valuer verified the deposits with the above banks to prove the true existence of the bank deposits, and checked that the amounts of the confirmation letter are consistent with the amounts of the evaluation return, without any pending items. The valuer checked the bank statement and balance reconciliation form of bank deposits and acknowledged that the accounting books were consistent with the accounting statements and the accounting records were consistent with actual situation. The appraised value was determined on the basis of the verified book value.

2. Loans and advances

As of the Valuation Reference Date, loans and advances primarily represented short-term loans, mid-to-long-term loans and syndicated loans granted to the members of BEH by BEH Finance, of which, short-term loans primarily represent loans with a term of one to two years and an interest rate of 4.35%; mid-to-long-term loans primarily represent loans with a term of two to six years and an interest rate ranging from 4.75% to 5.00% and syndicated loans primarily represent long-term loans with a term of over ten years and an interest rate of 6.55%. The valuer verified the accounting records, conducted spot-check on part of original evidence, loan contracts and related materials, verified the authenticity, aging, business content and amounts of the transactions and concluded that the amounts in the accounts, statements and notes were consistent. After verification, the loans granted and advances issued by BEH Finance include normal loans and special-mentioned loans, among them, the proportion of impairment provision for normal loans was 1%, and the proportion of impairment provision for special-mentioned loans was 10%. The appraised value was determined by aggregating the verified book value less the amount of risk assessment loss.

3. Available-for-sale financial assets

As of the Valuation Reference Date, the available-for-sale financial assets primarily represented the corporate bonds that BEH Finance purchased from Beijing Haohua Energy Resource Co., Ltd. ( 北京昊華能源股份有限公司) and the enterprise bonds purchased from Beijing Jingneng Clean Energy Co., Limited ( 北京京能清潔能源電力股份有限公司) and BEH. The valuer have reviewed the standard distribution agreement of relevant non-financial corporate debt financing instruments, accounting vouchers and other documents, and concluded that the quantity of assets in the accounts, statements and notes was consistent. According to the Wind public data, the appraised value was determined based on the assessed net value for bonds and number of bonds held on the Valuation Reference Date.

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

4. Fixed assets

As of the Valuation Reference Date, the equipment assets included in the valuation represented vehicles and operating office equipment declared by BEH Finance. According to the purpose of the valuation and in the principle of on-going utilization, the cost approach was adopted with reference to market price after taking into consideration of characteristics of the equipment to be appraised and information collected and the market approach is adopted for certain equipment.

The appraised value = Replacement cost × Newness rate

  1. Determination of replacement cost

Upon verification, the Company shall be deemed as a VAT general taxpayer and is eligible for VAT deduction. Therefore, the tax-free price was adopted to determine replacement cost in evaluating various types of equipment.

  1. replacement cost of transportation vehicles
    Replacement cost = Current purchase price (tax inclusive)/1.13 + Vehicle purchase tax + New vehicle handling charge
  2. replacement cost of electronic device and other fixed assets

The equipment within the scope of valuation all represented the office equipment with insignificant value and low transportation cost, for which no installation was required (or the seller was responsible for the installation), and the value of which was determined with reference to the prevailing market purchase price.

Replacement cost = prevailing purchase price (tax inclusive)/1.13

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

  1. Determination of newness rate
    1. Newness rate of vehicles

For transportation vehicles, according to the Provisions on Mandatory Vehicle Scrapping Standards (the Order 2012 No. 12 issued by the Ministry of Commerce, the Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Public

Security, the Ministry of Environmental Protection)( 機 動 車 強 制 報 廢 標 準 規 定》( 商 務 部、發 改 委、公 安 部、環 境 保 護 部 令2012 年 第12),

the final newness rate shall be determined with reference to the newness rate calculated by using the following methods, whichever is lower:

Newness rate of useful life = (1 - serviced life/stipulated or economic use life) × 100%

Newness rate of mileage = (1 - travelled mileage/stipulated mileage) × 100%

Newness rate = Min (newness rate of useful life, newness rate of mileage) + a

  1. a: Adjustment factors for special vehicle conditions

  2. Newness rate for electronic device
    In this valuation, the newness rate was determined by estimating the

remaining useful lives of the electronic device on the basis of its economic life and on-site investigations. The formula was as follows:

Newness rate = remaining useful life/(practical serviced life + remaining useful life) × 100%

  1. Determination of appraised value
    Appraised value = Replacement cost × Newness rate

In addition, for equipment purchased for a long time, the second-hand market price shall be adopted to determine the appraisal value.

5. Intangible assets

As of the Valuation Reference Date, the intangible assets included in the valuation represented software declared by BEH Finance, mainly including Oracle database, core system Oracle11gR2 database software and enterprise cluster collaborative supply chain information integration system. According to the valuation purpose, the appraisal value is determined through public price inquiry of all intangible assets based on the principle of on-going utilization with reference to market price after taking into account market conditions.

- 71 -

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

6. Deferred income tax assets

As of the Valuation Reference Date, deferred income tax assets primarily represented deductible temporary difference arising from the impairment provision of loans and intangible assets of BEH Finance. The valuer carefully reviewed the consistency of debit statement of deferred taxes, general ledger and subsidiary ledger, and learned from financial staff about the reasons, time, original amount and contents of the deferred taxes and reviewed the related documents and made provision of deferred tax assets arising from the change in fair value of the available-for-sale financial assets. The appraised value was determined based on the verified book value.

7. Other receivables

As of the Valuation Reference Date, other receivables primarily represented the interests, personal loans and rental deposit receivables of BEH Finance. On the basis of the correct verification of other receivables, the valuer specifically analyzed the amount, the time and reasons of debts, the collection of debts, the funds, credit and operation and management status of the debtors by leveraging on historical materials and current investigations. For other receivables, an individual identification method shall be adopted to evaluate risk loss depending on the specific situation of the enterprise. For those that were reasonably believed to be recoverable in full, the assessed risk loss was nil. The appraised value was determined by the book value minus the assessed risk loss.

8. Other assets

As of the Valuation Reference Date, other assets primarily represented various services and engineering amounts receivable by BEH Finance. The valuer investigated the book values and reasons thereof based on historical information and current investigation. The valuer also looked through accounting vouchers and relevant information. Upon verification, the book records were true. The valuation was determined based on the verified book value.

9. Liabilities

Through the review and verification of the actual debtor and the amount of each liability after the valuation purpose was realized, the appraised value was determined based on the items and amount of liabilities that the property owners were actually required to assume after the valuation purpose was realized.

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

  1. Introduction of the income approach
    1. Overview

    According to the Assets Valuation Practicing Standards - Enterprise Value ( 資產 評估執業準則-企業價值》) (Zhong Ping Xie [2017] No. 36), the discounted cash flow method is a method of assessing the value of assets by discounting the expected future net cash flow of an enterprise into its present value. Its basic idea is that the appraised value is arrived by estimating the expected net cash flow of assets in the future and discounting it into the present value by adopting an appropriate discount rate. The basic conditions applicable are as follows: the appraised entity shall have going concern basis and conditions; there is a relatively stable correspondence between operation and income and the future income and risk shall be predictable and quantifiable. The most difficulty in using the discounted cash flow method is the prediction of the expected future cash flow and the objectivity and reliability in collecting and processing data. When the prediction of the expected future cash flow is objective and fair and the discount rate is reasonable, the valuation results are relatively objective.

    1. Basic idea of valuation

Based on the due diligence for such valuation and the asset composition and the characteristics of main business of BEH Finance, the basic idea of this valuation is to estimate the value of total equity interests of its shareholders (net assets) based on the financial statements and profit forecasts provided by the enterprise, that is, the value of the enterprise is arrived after first estimating the value of the enterprise's operating assets by adopting the discounted cash flow method (DCF) per the income approach and then plus the value of other non-operating or surplus assets on the Valuation Reference Date.

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

  1. Value of the operating assets of the target of valuation;
    1. Phase of rapid revenue growth
      The present value of the target of valuation in stable rapid growth phase is arrived by introducing the net cash flow obtained in rapid growth phase into the Phase I model:
      • RMB1,541.1937 million
    2. Phase subsequent to the forecast period
      In view of the capital sufficiency ratio limitation, this evaluation assumes that the business scale and revenue level at the end of forecast period are maintained after the forecast period and revenue will no longer be retained.
      The sum of present value of sustainable operation after the forecast period of the target of valuation = 0.5607 × 484.4255 million ÷ 11.46%
      • RMB2,370.9906 million

Among them, 0.5607 represents the discount factor, and its calculation formula is 1/(1+discount rate) discount period = 1/(1 + 11.46%)5.33 = 0.5607; the discount period is the sum of the four months from the Valuation Reference Date to 31 December 2019 and the forecast period of five years, i.e. approximately

5.33 years; 484.4255 million represents the net cash flow during the sustainable period, and its calculation formula is net profit during the sustainable period - income in equity interests during the sustainable period = 484.4255 million - 0 = 484.4255 million; 11.46% represents the discount rate. As the sustainable non-growth model is adopted in this valuation, the growth rate of cash flow during the sustainable period is 0.

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

  1. Value of the surplus or non-operating assets (liabilities) of the target of valuation on the Valuation Reference Date;
    Surplus or non-operating assets and liabilities refer to other assets and liabilities that are not directly related to the predicted earning cash flow in the sustainable operation of an enterprise.
    Upon verification, as of the date of the Valuation Reference Date, based on the audited financial report of BEH Finance as at the Valuation Reference Date, the carrying amount of the dividends payable of the appraised enterprise of RMB554.0362 million represented the dividends payable to BEH and Jingneng Clean Energy from January to August 2019, which was recognized as surplus liabilities in this valuation; BEH Finance expects that they will use its monetary funds of RMB554.0362 million to pay the above mentioned dividends payable (i.e. RMB554.0362 million). Such monetary funds will not used in the future business operation of BEH Finance and have nothing to do with the forecasting future cash flows of BEH Finance. Therefore, in this valuation, RMB554.0362 million is recognized by the valuer as surplus assets and accordingly, the surplus assets and surplus liabilities related to the dividends payable are equal in amount. In view of the correspondence between the surplus assets and the surplus liabilities, the valuer separates the liabilities corresponding to the surplus assets and recognizes such liabilities as deductions of the appraised value of the surplus assets. Therefore, the net amount of surplus assets (liabilities) C is 0.
    Save as those disclosed above, from the valuer's point of view, the remaining assets and liabilities of the appraised enterprise (including monetary funds after deducting above mentioned RMB554.0362 million) as recorded on the audited financial report of BEH Finance are all directly related to the forecast of revenue cash flows from the on-going operation of the enterprise, which has been considered in the valuation. Therefore, there are no other surplus or non-operating assets (liabilities). For intangible assets and goodwill, most of the declared intangible assets in the book are business systems and office software, which are closely related to the daily operation of the enterprise, so they are not recognized as surplus assets. The influence of intangible assets and goodwill (such as financial license and customer value) that are not accounted for in the book have been considered in the profit forecast under the income approach, and their values have been reflected in the evaluation results, so they have not been separately considered and calculated.

Ri : Free cash flow to equity of the target of valuation in the i year in future;

r : Discount rate;

See below for details.

- 75 -

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

n : Future operating period of the target of valuation.

The five-year forecast period and sustainable period are adopted for discounting by the valuer. The forecast period (rapid growth period) refers to the period before an enterprise has reached a stable profit level, which is not fixed and subject to the actual operation of the appraised enterprise. Upon calculation, during the five-year forecast period (from 2020 to 2024), the return on equity of BEH Finance will be fluctuating within the range between 9% to 13%. In the last year of the forecast period, BEH Finance's financial operation position has gradually become stable and is in line with the overall development trend of the industry. Also, in the last year of the forecast period, the level of return on equity of BEH Finance remains stable and it is able to enter into the sustainable period. Therefore, it is reasonable to use the five-year period before the sustainable period as the forecast period. Therefore, based on the professional judgement of the valuer, as well as the historical project experience and market economic cycle, the five-year rapid growth period is selected and the valuer is of the view that it is the industry practice for valuation of finance industries. The post-forecast period refers to the stage when the enterprise has reached stable operation and the profit level will not fluctuate significantly. As the operating period of BEH Finance is permanent, the valuer assumed that the appraised enterprise will operate on a going basis. In general, the five-year forecast period and sustainable period is adopted for discounting.

  1. Income indicator
    In such valuation, free cash flow to equity is used as the income indicator of the target of valuation, which is basically defined as:
    R = Net profit - increase in equity interests
    = (operating income - operating expenses - net non-operating income and expenses - income tax expenses) - (owner's equity interests of the current period - owner's equity interests of the last period)

According to the forecast data and other relevant information of the enterprise, taking into account the operating conditions in the historical period and the development trend of each business segment in the future period of the target of valuation and on the basis of meeting all the regulatory indicators, the valuer measured the free cash flow to equity in the future period and made the adjustment after discounting in consideration of the surplus assets and liabilities factors, and finally arrived the value of total equity interests of shareholders of BEH Finance on the Valuation Reference Date under the assumptions of this valuation.

- 76 -

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

Among them, the forecast of operating income mainly involved the interest income from loans granted, the interest income from deposits in the central bank, the interest income from deposits in other banks, the interest income from lending funds, income from intermediate business handling charge and investment income; the forecast of operating expenses mainly involved the interest expense on accepting deposits, business taxes and surcharges, business and management fees, assets impairment losses and other business cost; the owner's equity interests at the end of the year mainly involved share capital, other comprehensive income, surplus reserve, general risk reserve and undistributed profit. Overall, the operating income showed an upward trend in history, which was mainly due to steady increase of loan scale and other factors; the operating expenses showed a downward trend in history, which was mainly due to the decrease of tax expense caused by the replacement of business tax with value added tax and other factors.

  1. Discount rate
    The Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) is adopted to determine the r (discount rate) in this valuation.

r = rf +βe(rm- rf)+ε

(3)

In the formula:

rf: Risk-free rate of return;

The approximate risk-free rate of return 'rf' was determined based on the average interest rate of treasury bond with the term of over ten years with reference to the average interest rate of mid-and-long term treasury bond issued by the state in recent five years, i.e. rf = 3.79%.

- 77 -

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

βe: Expected market risk factor for equity capital;

Considering there is no finance company which was listed on a stock exchange, and taking into account that the profit model of finance companies is mainly to earn interest margin, which is most similar to banks, we selected stocks of 16 comparable listed banks in SSE Composite Index, and considering the discrepancy of relevant indicators in terms of total share capital, asset scale, business structure and background of substantial shareholders between the banks and the appraised enterprise, for example, the minimum total share capital of Agricultural Bank of China Limited, Bank of Communications Limited, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited, China Construction Bank Co., Ltd. and Bank of China Limited (collectively referred to as the "Five Major Banks") exceeds 70 billion shares while BEH Finance's total share capital represents only 3 billion shares and the substantial shareholders of the Five Major Banks include Central Huijin Investment Ltd., and the Ministry of Finance while the substantial shareholder of BEH Finance is BEH, 11 listed banks were selected as comparable companies after excluding the Five Major Banks. It is finally determined that the estimated value of expected risk factor of equity capital of the value analysis object is arrived by calculating and estimating the market price from 1 September 2014 to 31 August 2019, i.e. βe = 0.9052.

rm: Market expectation rate of return;

In terms of market expectation rate of return 'rm', it is generally considered that the volatility of the stock index would reflect the volatility of overall market. Considering the cyclical performance of the industry, the short-term return rate fluctuates significantly, while the long-term average rate of return of the index would reflect the average rate of return expected by the market. The valuer is of the view that using of such long-term average return rate is a market practice. On 21 May 1992, the Shanghai Stock Exchange implemented free bidding trading. Since then, the long-term average return rate of the Shanghai Composite Index can represent the comprehensive return rate of the entire market industry to a certain extent. By calculating the average rate of return of the index for the period from 21 May 1992 to 30 June 2019, the approximate market expectation rate of return is arrived, i.e. rm = 10.05%.

(rm- rf): Market risk premium (rpm);

ε: Specific risk adjustment factor of the target of valuation.

- 78 -

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

The specific risk adjustment factor ε is determined according to the difference in financing conditions, capital liquidity and governance structure between the appraised target and comparable listed companies and the relative risk level of the industry in which the appraised target operates. Based on the practice of the valuation industry and the experience of the valuer, the specific risk adjustment factor of the enterprise is generally between 1% and 3%. For industries with relatively limited risks, such as electricity and other infrastructure industries relating to the national economy and people's livelihood, such factor is usually set at 1%; for industries with higher risks, such as the Internet industry, such factor is usually set at 3% while for general enterprises with ordinary risk, such factor is usually set at 2%. BEH Finance's main customers are intra-group companies and as such is under lower competitive pressure. Also, BEH Finance is now at a stable operating stage. In addition, according to statistics on the website of China National Association of Finance Companies, the overall risk indicators of the finance company industry suffers adverse change (i.e. from the end of 2018 to the first and second quarters of 2019, the overall non-performing asset ratio of the finance company industry increased from 0.46% to 0.74%, and the liquidity ratio decreased from 63.17% to 58.84%, mainly due to the influence of external economic environment), however, the risks of which are relatively moderate and will not affect the specific risk adjustment factor being set at 2%. Having taken comprehensive consideration of the above factors, the specific risk adjustment factor of the Company is set at ε= 2.00% in this valuation.

The equity capital cost "r" of the target of valuation is finally arrived as follows:

r = 0.0379 + 0.9052 × (10.05% - 3.79%) + 2.00%

= 11.46%

4. identifying the methods and means of valuation

We determined the specific models and methods for assets valuation according to the actual status and features of the assets under valuation.

5. conducting the valuation and estimation

We determined the valuation models and calculated the valuation results and draft the relevant text descriptions based on the agreed understanding.

  1. Summary phase of valuation

We will analyze and summarize the preliminary work results of various assets and methods, make necessary adjustments, amendments and improvements to the valuation results and submit them to the BEH Finance for internal review.

  1. Report submission phase

On the basis of the above work, we will draft the asset valuation report and exchange opinions with the client on the valuation results, and after full consideration of the relevant opinions, revise and rectify the report repeatedly according to the third-instance system and procedures of the internal assets valuation report of valuation agency, and finally issue the formal asset valuation report.

IX. THE ASSUMPTIONS OF VALUATION

In this valuation, the valuer followed the below valuation assumptions:

  1. General assumption
    1. Transaction assumption

In the transaction assumption, all assets to be evaluated are assumed to be already in the process of transaction, and the valuer assess the value base on the trading conditions of the assets to be evaluated in a simulated market. The transaction assumption is one of the most basic prerequisites that assets valuation can be carried out.

2. Open market assumption

In the open market assumption, it is assumed that for assets to be traded or intended to be traded in the market, the parties to an asset transaction shall have equal status, and also have opportunity and time to gain sufficient market information, so as to make rational judgment on functions, purpose and trading prices of assets. The open market assumption is based on the fact that assets can be publicly traded on the market.

- 81 -

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

3. Asset going-concern assumption

The assumption of asset going concern means that the valuation methods, parameters and basis shall be determined correspondingly based on the fact that the assets under valuation will continue to be used according to the current use and the mode, scale, frequency and environment, etc. or used on a change basis when evaluating.

  1. Special assumptions
    1. There is no significant change in the current macroeconomic and tax policies of the country.
    2. There is no significant change in the socio-economic environment where the appraised enterprise is operated as well as the taxes, tax rates and other policies implemented.

    4. The future management team of the appraised enterprise will perform its duties satisfactorily and continue to maintain going concern of its existing business operation model.
    5. The appraised enterprise will continue to lease and use its current office premise in the future.
    6. The main business income of the appraised enterprise is mainly derived from the current business operations and investment income without taking into account the incremental business that the enterprise may have in the future.
    7. The valuation is only based on the current business strategies, operating capabilities and operating conditions as at the Valuation Reference Date without taking into account possible changes in the future due to the change in management team.
    8. There will be no significant change in the central bank exchange rate during the forecast period.
    9. The appraised entity shall withdraw the surplus reserve and general risk reserve in accordance with the relevant regulations, and distribute its remaining profits in full if the regulatory standards for capital adequacy ratio are satisfied.
    10. The business scale of the appraised entity is limited to the existing capital scale without taking into account the impact of future possible capital increase on its business scale development.

When the above conditions change, the valuation results may usually become invalid.

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

Notes:

    1. As of the Valuation Reference Date, the available-for-sale financial assets mainly represents the corporate bonds that BEH Finance purchased from Beijing Haohua Energy Resource Co., Ltd. ( 北 京 昊 華 能 源 股 份 有 限 公 司) and the enterprise bonds purchased from the Company and BEH. The appraisal value is determined based on the net price of the medium-term bonds on the Valuation Reference Date and the quantity held, which can reflect the fair value of the asset on the Valuation Reference Date. Since the book value does not include the revenue to be recorded in the current period, there is a certain discrepancy between the appraisal value and the book value.
    2. The equipment assets included in the valuation are vehicles and electronic equipment declared by BEH Finance as of the Valuation Reference Date. In accordance with the principle of on-going utilization, based on the market price and combined with the characteristics of the appraisal equipment, the market method is adopted for evaluation. The book value of fixed assets is mainly the value after simple straight-line depreciation according to the depreciation period, which will be different from the evaluation results under the market method to certain extent, mainly because the purchase price of vehicles and equipment will change along with the market situation. The appraised value is to recognize the current value of the equipment. The book value is the value from accounting treatment arrived at by depreciation according to accounting standards, which cannot objectively reflect the actual market value of equipment assets while the market method valuation can better reflect the current value of various assets on the Valuation Reference Date. Therefore, the valuer is of the view that adopting the market approach for valuation is fair and reasonable.
    3. As of the Valuation Reference Date, the intangible assets included in the valuation are mainly software declared by BEH Finance, including Oracle Database, Core System Oracle11gR2 Database Software and Enterprise Cluster Collaborative Supply Chain Information Integration System. The valuation is based on the market price and for the purpose of price inquiring, the valuer recognized the software development company whose software is used by the Target Company by querying purchase invoices of the Target Company, and contacted such software development company by phone to understand the current market price of the software. The valuer also took into account the market situation by inquiring the market price of such products in the market to confirm whether the quotation of the software development company is reasonable, and then determine the appraised value of the intangible assets after comprehensive comparison. For softwares with limited terms of license, the valuer has already determined the useful life of such softwares according to such terms of license. For softwares without limited terms of license, the useful life is determined by the valuer according to its economic useful life. Similar to fixed assets, the book value is the value after straight-line amortization, and the evaluation result of market method can better reflect the real value of intangible assets on the Valuation Reference Date.
  1. Valuation results by using the income approach
    We have appraised the value of total equity interests of the shareholders of the enterprise

by using the discounted cash flow method (DCF) through conducting the valuation procedures including verification, on-site investigation, market research and inquiries, valuation and estimation. The book value of net assets of BEH Finance on the Valuation Reference Date, i.e. 31 August 2019, was RMB3,653.4954 million, the appraised value of total equity interests of the shareholders (value of net assets) was RMB3,912.1843 million, and the incremental value was RMB258.6888 million, representing an increase ratio of 7.08%.

- 85 -

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

  1. Analysis of valuation results and selection of final results
    1. Analysis of differences in valuation results

The value of total equity interests of the shareholders arrived by adopting the income approach was RMB3,912.1843 million, which was RMB251.8616 million and 6.88% higher than the value of total equity interests of the shareholders of RMB3,660.3227 million by adopting the asset-based approach, The difference between the two valuation approaches is mainly due to the fact that:

  1. The replacement cost of assets is deemed as the value standard of the asset-based approach, reflecting the necessary social labor consumed by asset investment (purchase and construction cost), and such purchase and construction cost normally changes with the change of national economy.
  2. The expected return on assets value is deemed as the value standard of the income approach, reflecting the level of operating capacity (profitability) of assets. Such profitability is considered as the intrinsic value of an enterprise, usually affected by a variety of conditions such as macro-economy, government control and effective use of assets.

The above together caused the differences between the two valuation approaches.

2. Determination of valuation results

The asset-based approach, with the replacement cost of assets as its value standard, objectively reflects the value of net assets of the enterprise from the perspective of asset construction. However, taking into account the special nature of the enterprise as a group finance company, on the one hand, it has the franchise license for collecting and lending funds within the group, on the other hand, the assets it managed and the loans it released are mostly off-balance-sheet assets, there are certain limitations in the measurement of the value of its franchise license and the value of off-balance-sheet assets by adopting the asset-based approach. Since the valuation results by using the income approach focuses on the overall profitability of the appraised entity in future and reflects the actual value of the enterprise by discounting the expected cash flow, the actual profitability of the enterprise can be more accurately reflected from the income approach. By comparing the two valuation approaches above, it is considered that valuation results by using the income approach can reflects the value of total equity interests of the shareholders of BEH Finance more appropriately.

Combining the above analysis with the purpose of such valuation, the income approach was adopted in arriving the final results of valuation, and the value of total equity interests of the shareholders of BEH Finance was RMB3,912.1843 million.

- 86 -

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF THE NEW VALUATION REPORT

3. Analysis of reasons for incremental value

The income approach regards judging the profitability of the enterprise as its core, which relatively reflects the value of an enterprise and the value of equity interests of the shareholders objectively. The value of BEH Finance is deemed as an organic whole. In addition to the value of individual asset, the intangible assets formed by integrated factors such as goodwill, excellent management experience, market channels, customers and brands are also integral part of the value. These factors together contributed to the incremental value of assets.

XI. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Special events Nil.
  2. Disclosure of subsequent events

The specific profit distribution amount would be subject to the audit results. According to the audit report (Tian Zhi Ye Zi [2019] No. 34014), as of the valuation reference date, BEH Finance's dividend payable totaled RMB554.0362 million. In the valuation engagement, full consideration has been given to the matters after the above-mentioned period.

  1. Defective property rights events Nil.
  2. Pending matters, legal disputes and other uncertainties Nil.

The Group is adhering to the "two-wheel drive" model (i.e. giving due consideration to both models of independent development and project merger and acquisition), and will follow the development path of "intensification, regionalization, scale-up, specialization and high efficiency", which is different from decentralized and scattered management. The Company has established regional branches to categorize projects across the country into major regions, and has adopted intensive management and centralized control within a certain range to form a certain scale. At the same time, the management mode and personnel training are also trending towards a more professional and efficient direction. After more than a year of practice, the "two-wheel drive" model has achieved initial results. In the second half of 2019, the Company will accelerate its pace of progress to create a brand-new situation through giving due consideration and importance to both acquisition, merger and self-built development.

Based on active tracking of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei market, the Company will make great efforts to explore the national electricity market and closely follow up the subsequent work of Zhangjiakou-Beijing clean energy heating demonstration project. The Company will continue to promote the layout of key projects in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Region, Beijing city sub-center, the Winter Olympics, the "Belt and Road Initiative", Guangdong-HongKong-Macau Greater Bay Area and seek for breakthroughs. The Company will actively promote Shanghaimiao, Ulanqab wind power base, Datong Green-Power-to-Beijing and other projects. It will proactively carry out the preliminary work of Shandong Rizhao Gas Project and Hubei Yichang Zhongji Comprehensive Energy Service Project. Great efforts will be made to secure new progress in the research and application of strategic emerging projects such as the implementation of major projects, acquisition of strategic projects, offshore wind power, affordable on-grid projects, and "three-energy,two-heat and one-network" projects.

- 92 -

APPENDIX IV

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

In the future, the Company expects that the above-mentioned reform and integration will basically come to an end, showing that the Company has achieved phased results. In the future, in order to improve the efficiency of management and control, further carry out reform and integration, expand the scale of clean energy and make it the core competitiveness in the market, the Company will continuously improve efforts in management and control to strengthen the core competitiveness of the Company. In combination with the regional distribution, asset type, production characteristics and regional development potential of affiliated enterprises, the Group has carried out regional management of affiliated businesses and set up seven regional management branches, including those in Beijing, southwest region, Inner Mongolia, northeast region, northwest region, South China region and Australia. At present, such branches have been basically set up. The regional branches will be responsible for market development, engineering construction, production and operation and grass-roots party construction within the region, so as to continuously realize regionalization, specialization and refined management, and lay a solid foundation for the Company's quality and sustainable development in the future.

  1. CLOSURE OF REGISTER FOR H SHARES, ELIGIBILITY FOR ATTENDING THE EGM
    Holders of H Shares are advised that the share register for H Shares has been closed since Monday, 18 November 2019 to Wednesday, 18 December 2019 (both days inclusive), during which period no transfer of shares will be effected. The Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company on the close of business on Wednesday, 18 December 2019 are entitled to attend and vote at the EGM. Holders of H Shares of the Company who wish to attend the EGM but have not registered the transfer documents are required to deposit the transfer documents together with the relevant share certificates at the H Share Registrar of the Company in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, at Shops 1712-16, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong by no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 15 November 2019 for registration.
  2. PROXY
    Since the Original Notice and proxy form (the "Original Proxy Form") enclosed thereof did not contain certain updated information about the EGM in the Announcements and the new ordinary resolution no. 3 set out in this revised notice, a revised proxy form (the "Revised Proxy Form") for the EGM to be held on 18 December 2019 (or any adjournment thereof) has been prepared and is sent together with this revised notice.
    Important: The Revised Proxy Form shall supersede the Original Proxy Form. Those shareholders who had lodged the Original Proxy Form with the Company's H Share Registrar in Hong Kong for holders of H shares should note that the Original Proxy Form is no longer applicable to the EGM.
    Holders of H shares who intend to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on the EGM are required to lodge the Revised Proxy Form and the relevant notarized power of attorney (if any) and other relevant documents of authorization (if any) as mentioned above with the Company's H Share Registrar in Hong Kong, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong in person or by post not less than 24 hours before the time fixed for holding the EGM (i.e. not later than 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 17 December 2019) or any adjournment thereof (as the case may be).
    Completion and delivery of the Revised Proxy Form will not preclude shareholders from attending and voting in person at the EGM or any adjournment thereof should they so wish.
    Shareholders may, by completing the Revised Proxy Form of the Company, appoint one or more proxies to attend and vote at the EGM (or any adjournment thereof) on his or her behalf.
