  1. The Contractor/Hebei Contractor
    The Contractor is a state-owned enterprise established in the PRC and is principally engaged in the business of construction and engineering contracting.
    The Hebei Contractor is a private entity established in the PRC and is principally engaged in the business of fermentation tanks contracting.
    To the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, and having made all reasonable enquiries, each of the Contractor and Hebei Contractor and its ultimate beneficial owners is a third party independent of the Company and its connected persons.

REASONS FOR ENTERING INTO THE AGREEMENTS

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 21 February 2020 in relation to the co-operation agreement entered into between the Company and the People's Government of Wucheng District, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province* (山西省長治市城區 人民) (the ''District Government'').

Based on the co-operation agreement dated 21 February 2020, the District Government agreed to support the construction of the chlamydomonas reinhardtii and related products facilities by the provision of the relevant land use right for the construction of the facilities. As at the date of this announcement, the Company has submitted the relevant documents for the formal application of the land use right. On 9 April 2020, the Natural Resources Bureau of Wucheng District, Changzhi City* (長治市城區自然資源局) confirmed that the construction of manufacturing facilities for chlamydomonas reinhardtii at a site of approximately 12.44 hectares conform with the overall land use planning of the relevant area.

The construction of the fermentation and related facilities is the first step in the Group's diversification into chlamydomonas reinhardtii, micro-algae and related products business. It is expected that the Company will commence the production of chlamydomonas reinhardtii, micro-algae and related products in 2021. The Subsidiary currently has 12 employees including technicians and engineers who are experienced and specialise in fermentation process and production management of chlamydomonas reinhardtii, micro-algae; and administrative supporting staff.

Given the trend of health food in recent years, the Group considers the investment in chlamydomonas reinhardtii and micro-algae business is a good opportunity for the Group to diversify its income base.

The consideration under each of the Agreements was determined after arm's length negotiations between the parties with reference to the published cost of labour, raw material and machinery by the relevant authorities. It is expected that the total consideration will be settled by internal resources of the Group.
