The project contracting services fees paid by CCCG Group to the Group for the year ended 31 December 2020 increased by approximately 130% as compared to the same period of 2019; and (vi) the current construction capacity of the Group.

On 14 September 2020, OriginWater has became a subsidiary of China Urban and Rural (a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCCG), thus becoming a connected person of the Company under the Hong Kong Listing Rules, and the labour services provided by it to the Company for the sewage treatment and other projects became a connected transaction of the Company and exceeded the expectations of the Company when the Company determined the existing annual caps; (iv) the current capacity of CCCG Group; (v) the prevailing market price for comparable types of services in the same industry; and (vi) an approximately 5% buffer for unexpected fluctuations of the labour and subcontracting services fees payable to CCCG Group by the Group under the Mutual Project Contracting Framework Agreement.

  1. REASONS AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSACTIONS
    1. The Supplemental Agreement to the Financial Services Agreement
    CCCC Finance is a non-banking financial institution, offering comprehensive financial services to enterprises. The Company expects to benefit from the gains generated by the financial services provided by CCCC Finance. Furthermore, the financial services provided by CCCC Finance to CCCG Group can help the Group to improve its capital utilization efficiency and enhance the capability of CCCC Finance in providing professional and comprehensive financial services, which is in line with the Group's business development needs.

- 11 -

    1. The Supplemental Agreement to the Mutual Product Sales and Purchase Agreement
      The Group sells material products such as materials, equipment and components to CCCG Group for its processing and manufacturing of industrial products. As all or part of such industrial products will be sold back by CCCG Group to the Group for its use in the core business, the Directors of the Company are of the view that the Group can benefit from the sale of material products to CCCG Group. In addition, such transaction will improve the revenue of the Company and generate reasonable profit, and is therefore of great significance to the Company's development.
    2. Supplemental Agreement to the Mutual Project Contracting Framework Agreement
      The Group provides the project contracting services for real property and wastewater treatment projects that may be undertaken by CCCG Group. CCCG has made certain progress in exploring each of the aforesaid areas, which therefore boosts the demands for project contracting services. The Directors of the Company believe that the provision of project contracting services to CCCG Group will help the Company to accumulate more experience in relevant sectors, improve the business performance and expand the business scale, which will further strengthen the market competitiveness and facilitate the Group's business development.
      As the Company is mainly engaged in the transportation infrastructure industry, it may require labour and subcontracting services from time to time in the course of its ordinary business. By selecting CCCG Group as a provider of such services, Directors of the Company are of the view that the Company can benefit from its relatively low quotations, its understanding of the Company's business and its extensive experience and expertise in providing such services, and accordingly receive professional and high-quality services at a reasonable cost, which will be conducive to the Company's business operation.
  1. HONG KONG LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
    As at the date of this announcement, CCCG is the controlling Shareholder of the Company holding approximately 57.99% interests in the issued ordinary shares of the Company, and is therefore a connected person of the Company under the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Accordingly, the transactions contemplated under the Financial Services Agreement, the Mutual Product Sales and Purchase Agreement and the Mutual Project Contracting Framework Agreement constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

The provision of deposit services by CCCC Finance to CCCG Group is to be made on normal commercial terms or more favourable terms which are in the Group's interests, and no assets of the Group are to be pledged as security for such deposit services in favour of CCCG Group.
