CONNECTED TRANSACTION

ASSET TRANSACTIONS WITH INEOS

The Board is pleased to announce that on 28 July 2022, the Group entered into transaction documents with certain of INEOS's subsidiaries with respect to the cooperation on Shanghai SECCO and other projects.

Pursuant to the relevant transaction documents, the Group conditionally agreed to sell, and INEOS Shanghai conditionally agreed to purchase, 50% equity interest in Shanghai SECCO. Further, the Company agreed to purchase, and INEOS Styrolution APAC Pte Limited agreed to sell, 50% equity interest in Ningbo Styrolution and the Company agreed to provide (or procure its affiliates to provide) corresponding shareholders' loans to Ningbo Styrolution. The Company and INEOS Tianjin also agreed to form the HDPE JV on a 50:50 basis, for the construction of a 500,000 tonnes/year High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) project in Tianjin.

Implications under the Listing Rules

Gaoqiao Petrochemical is a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, held as to 55% by the Company and 45% by Sinopec Group Asset Management Co., Ltd. (中國石化集團資產經營管理有限公司). Sinopec Group Asset Management Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of China Petrochemical Corporation, the controlling shareholder of the Company. Gaoqiao Petrochemical is therefore a connected subsidiary of the Company.

Since the highest applicable percentage ratio for the SECCO Transaction is more than 0.1% but lower than 5%, the SECCO Transaction is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules, but are not subject to the circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements.

Based on the calculations under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules, for the SECCO Transaction, all applicable percentage ratios are lower than 5%, and all applicable percentage ratios of the ABS Transaction and the HDPE Transaction are also lower than 5%.

As the counterparties of the Group in the SECCO Transaction, the ABS Transaction and the HDPE Transaction are all members of the INEOS group, the SECCO Transaction, the ABS Transaction and the HDPE Transaction shall be aggregated as a series of transactions pursuant to Rules 14.22 of the Listing Rules. The applicable percentage ratios of the SECCO Transaction, the ABS Transaction and the HDPE Transaction on an aggregated basis are lower than 5%. As such, the transaction does not constitute a notifiable transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Our firm applies Hong Kong Standard on Quality Control 1 "Quality Control for Firms That Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements" issued by the HKICPA and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

APPENDIX 2

REPORT FROM THE REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS ON DISCOUNTED CASH FLOWS

Reporting Accountants' Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to report, as required by paragraph 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules, on the calculations of the discounted future cash flows used in the Valuation. The discounted future cash flows do not involve the adoption of accounting policies.

Basis of Opinion

We conducted our engagement in accordance with the Hong Kong Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) "Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information" issued by the HKICPA. This standard requires that we plan and perform our work to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether, so far as the calculations are concerned, the Directors have properly compiled the discounted future cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions adopted by the Directors as set out in the Valuation. We performed procedures on the arithmetical calculations and the compilations of the discounted future cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions adopted by the Directors. Our work is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing issued by the HKICPA. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, so far as the calculations are concerned, the discounted future cash flows have been properly compiled in all material respects in accordance with the bases and assumptions adopted by the Directors as set out in the Valuation.

Other matters

Without qualifying our opinion, we draw to your attention that we are not reporting on the appropriateness and validity of the bases and assumptions on which the discounted future cash flows are based and our work does not constitute any valuation of the Shanghai SECCO or an expression of an audit or review opinion on the Valuation.

The discounted future cash flows depend on future events and on a number of assumptions which cannot be confirmed and verified in the same way as past results and not all of which may remain valid throughout the period. Further, since the discounted future cash flows relates to the future, actual results are likely to be different from the discounted future cash flows because events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected, and the differences may be material. Our work has been undertaken for the purpose of reporting solely to you under paragraph 14.62(2) of the Listing Rules and for no other purpose. We accept no responsibility to any other person in respect of, arising out of or in connection with our work.

LETTER FROM THE FINANCIAL ADVISOR

The following is the text of a letter received from China International Capital Corporation Hong Kong Securities Limited, the financial adviser of the Company, in connection with the profit forecast underlying in the valuation reports, for the purpose of incorporation in this announcement.

28 July 2022

The Board of Directors

China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation

No. 22 Chaoyangmen North Street

Chaoyang District

Beijing, PRC

Ladies and Gentlemen,

We refer to the valuation reports (the "Reports") dated 17 March 2022 prepared by Shanghai Orient Appraisal Co., Ltd. (the "Valuer") on the valuation as at 31 August 2021 in relation to the proposed disposal through the tendering process in Shanghai United Assets and Equity Exchange: (i) transferring 15% equity interests in Shanghai SECCO Petrochemical Company Limited by China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (the "Company"); (ii) transferring 35% equity interests in Shanghai SECCO Petrochemical Company Limited by a subsidiary of the Company, Sinopec Shanghai Gaoqiao Petrochemical Co., Limited (collectively, the "Target Assets") in exchange for cash consideration (the "Valuation"). The principal assumptions upon which the Valuation is based is included in the announcement of the Company dated 28 July 2022 (the "Announcement"). Capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement unless the context requires otherwise.

As stated in the Reports, the Valuation has been arrived at and based on the income approach, which has taken into account the discounted cash flow projection of the Target Assets (the "Projection"). As such, the Projection is regarded as a profit forecast (the "Profit Forecast") under Rule 14.61 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules").

We have reviewed the Profit Forecast upon which the Valuation has been made, for which you as the directors of the Company (the "Directors") are responsible, and we have attended discussions involving the management of the Company and the Valuer regarding the work conducted by the Valuer. We have also discussed with the management of the Company and the Valuer regarding the bases and assumptions upon which the Profit Forecast has been prepared. In these discussions, the participants also discussed the historical performance of the Target Assets and other information considered relevant by the Valuer and the Company to the Profit Forecast. We have also considered the report from KPMG, Certified Public Accountants, Hong Kong dated 28 July 2022 as set out in the Announcement addressed to you regarding the calculations and compilation of the discounted cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions adopted by the Directors. We noted that in the opinion of KPMG, so far as the calculations are concerned, the discounted future cash flows have been properly compiled in all material respects in accordance with the bases and assumptions adopted by the Directors as set out in the Valuation. We also noted that the discounted future cash flows do not involve the adoption of accounting policies.

As the relevant bases and assumptions are about future events which may or may not occur, the actual business and financial performance of the business of the Target Assets may or may not achieve as expected and the variation may be material. We express no opinion on whether the actual cash flows would eventually be achieved in correspondence with the Profit Forecast. For the purpose of this letter, we have relied on and assumed the accuracy and completeness of all information provided to us and/or discussed with the Company. We have not assumed any responsibility for independently verifying the accuracy and completeness of such information or undertaken any independent evaluation or appraisal of any of the assets or liabilities of the Target Assets. Save as expressly stated in this letter, we take no responsibility for and express no views, whether expressly or implicitly, on the fair value or market value of the Target Assets as determined by the Valuer and set out in the Reports issued by the Valuer or otherwise.

On the basis of the foregoing and in the absence of unforeseeable circumstances, and without giving any opinion on the reasonableness of the valuation method and the bases and assumptions adopted by the Valuer on the Valuation, for which you as the Directors and the Valuer are solely responsible, we are of the opinion that the Profit Forecast upon which the Valuation has been made, for which you as the Directors are responsible, has been made after due and careful enquiry by you. The Directors are responsible for the Profit Forecast, including the preparation of the discounted future cash flows in accordance with the bases and assumptions determined by the Directors and as set out in the Valuation Report. This responsibility includes carrying out appropriate procedures relevant to the preparation of the discounted future cash flows for the Valuation Report and applying an appropriate basis of preparation; and making estimates which are reasonable in the circumstances. For the avoidance of doubt, this letter does not constitute an independent valuation or fairness opinion and is expressly limited to the matters described herein.

The work undertaken by us in giving the above opinion has been undertaken for the sole purpose of compliance with Rule 14.62(3) of the Listing Rules and for no other purpose. We have not independently verified the assumptions or computations leading to the Valuation. We have had no role or involvement and have not provided and will not provide any assessment of the value on the Discounted Cash Flow Assets to the Company. We have assumed that all information, materials and representations provided to us by the Company and the Valuer, including all information, materials, and representations referred to or contained in the Announcement, were true, accurate, complete and not misleading at the time they were provided or made, and remained so up to the date of the Announcement and that no material fact or information has been omitted from the information and materials provided No representation or warranty, whether express or implied, is made by us on the accuracy, truth or completeness of such information, materials or representations. Accordingly, we do not accept any responsibility, whether expressly or implicitly, to any person(s) in respect of, arising out of, or in connection with the Valuation.

	Yours faithfully,
	For and on behalf of
