During the year ended 31 December 2018, the Group realized a consolidated operating revenue of approximately RMB93,390 million, representing an increase of approximately 10.93% compared with the previous year, which was mainly attributable to the year-on-year increase of 8.61% in revenue from power generation segment. Total operating costs of the Group amounted to approximately RMB84,021 million, representing an increase of approximately RMB7,450 million or approximately 9.73% compared with the previous year, which was mainly attributable to the year- on-year increase of 6.95% in the operating costs of power generation segment. Finance costs of the Group amounted to approximately RMB7,647 million, representing an increase of approximately RMB773 million or approximately 11.25% over the previous year.

Total liabilities of the Group amounted to approximately RMB217,760 million, representing an increase of approximately RMB10,716 million compared with the previous year. The increase in total liabilities was mainly due to an increase of 20.87% in current liabilities, which was mainly caused by the super short-term debentures issued by the Company with total financing amount of RMB16,000 million, closing balance of RMB11,000 million as at the end of the period and no closing balance of nil as at the end of the previous period.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

The above-mentioned pricing policy applies to the various types of financial services under the 2019 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement, including the financial leasing services, factoring services and entrustment loan services.

  1. According to the requirements of management system of the connected transactions of the Company, the finance management department of the Company is responsible for monitoring the transaction amounts relating to the proposed annual caps under the 2019 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement by developing management accounts for continuing connected transactions and designating specialists for management and maintenance, and consolidating and preparing statistics for the transaction amounts incurred in the continuing connected transactions on a monthly basis. The Company will re-comply with the necessary approval procedures in accordance with the Listing Rules in respect of continuing connected transactions that are expected to exceed their annual caps.
    The external auditors of the Company will report by issuing a letter to the Board every year on the continuing connected transactions of the Company in relation to the pricing policies and annual caps of the continuing connected transactions (including the transactions contemplated under the 2019 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement) of the Company conducted during the preceding financial year pursuant to the Listing Rules.
    The independent non-executive Directors of the Company will conduct an annual review with respect to the continuing connected transactions of the Company throughout the preceding financial year and confirm on the transactional amounts and terms of the continuing connected transactions in the annual report of the Company pursuant to the requirements under the Listing Rules, and to ensure that they are entered into on normal commercial terms, are fair and reasonable, and are carried out pursuant to the terms of the relevant agreements governing the continuing connected transactions.

The above-mentioned internal control measures apply to the various types of financial services under the 2019 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement, including the financial leasing services, factoring services and entrustment loan services.

We are given to understand from the Company that transactions of financial leasing services will be subject to the approval of different departments of the Group, namely, finance management department, department of securities and capital operation and department of legal affairs. Accordingly, we have reviewed two samples of historical transactions entered into between the Company and Datang Lease Company and conducted sample checks on the approval process of the historical transactions and noted that the approval forms were properly counter-signed to confirm the approval by the respective units on the terms of the transactions and the approval of the terms, including inter alia, the interest rates, by the finance department. We were advised by the Company that the samples are randomly selected from recent transactions and as we noted that the dates of application for approval of the respective sample

- 23 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

transactions were spread out in 2019, namely on 17 January 2019 and 10 June 2019, we consider the sample size is sufficient in concluding our view that the above pricing policies were properly followed and that the interest rates of the transactions between the Company and Datang Lease Company are fair and reasonable so far as the Company and the Independent Shareholders are concerned and are able to ensure that the Company will achieve terms which are on normal commercial terms or better. Also, based on the contents of the approval forms reviewed by us which include the approvals of the transactions by the respective units together with their comments made during their assessment of the transactions, we consider the internal control measures were properly followed.

We have discussed with the Company about the pricing policy and understand that the Company will collect market information from time to time as reference for the purpose of comparison under the price control procedures, including interest rates obtained from other major domestic leasing company that is independent of the Company and its connected persons. We consider that the price control procedures will enable the Company to compare terms from different service providers with market interest rates and effectively ensure the terms from Datang Lease Company are on normal commercial terms or better.

Also, we have reviewed the list of transactions monitored by the Company for the year ended 31 December 2018 and for the six months ended 30 June 2019, which confirms that the finance management department of the Company has been closely monitoring the annual caps as well as the terms of the continuing connected transactions in accordance with the Company's pricing policy and internal control measures to ensure they are no less favourable to the Company than terms available to or from an Independent Third Party.

After considering the above factors, we are of the opinion that the continuing connected transactions are conducted on normal commercial terms or better and not prejudicial to the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders.

  1. Historical Transaction Amounts and New Annual Caps

According to the Letter from the Board, the above proposed annual caps are determined with reference to the historical transaction amount for the eight months ended 31 August 2019 as well as the financial plan of the Company including the financial leasing services, entrusted loans services and factoring services under the 2019 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement. Such financial plan mainly considered the expected capital needs of the Group in the 36 months commencing from 1 September 2019 for various projects, such as (i) the "Replacing Small Capacity Units with Large Capacity Ones" 2×1000MW thermal power project of Guangdong Datang International Leizhou Power Plant, with a planned investment of approximately RMB8.661 billion; (ii) the thermal power project of Liaoning Datang International Huludao Power Plant, with a planned investment of approximately RMB2.905 billion; and (iii) the 700MW thermal power project of Hebei Datang International Tangshan Beijiao Power Plant, with a planned investment of approximately RMB2.801 billion.

We note that the historical transaction amounts have a utilization rate that ranges from 0% to 20.98%. Based on our discussion with the Company, the historical transactions were not close to full utilization of the respective caps since the pricing policy only allows the Company to accept terms from Datang Lease Company that are equivalent to or more favourable than those offered by other

- 25 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

domestic financial leasing companies in the PRC, to ensure that it is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole. We have discussed with the Company and it is expected that the future transaction amounts may increase partly due to a possible reduction in the financing cost to be provided by Datang Lease Company.

In addition, we have also discussed with the Company and confirm that the main underlying reasons for the annual caps as set out above are necessitated by the expected increase in capital needs as a result of the Company's future financial plan which includes three key projects that will require total planned investments amounting to RMB14.367 billion. The three key projects are expected to commence in the 36 months commencing from 1 September 2019 which are new projects that were not included as part of the Group's financial plan when the 2016 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement was entered into.

We also note that the historical transaction amount for the period from 1 January 2019 to 31 August 2019 was RMB839 million while the annual cap for the period from 1 September 2019 to 31 December 2019 is set at RMB3 billion. In this connection, we have discussed with the management of the Company and are given to understand that the Company anticipates, for the four months ending 31 December 2019, Datang Lease Company will provide financial business support to the Company and its subsidiaries in the amount of at least RMB2 billion for the following reasons: (i) the Fujian Pingtan offshore wind power project of the Company proposes to obtain financing from Datang Lease Company ranging from RMB1 billion to RMB1.5 billion; (ii) as certain competitive-bidding and grid- connected photovoltaic projects the Company will need to complete on-grid power generation before 30 December 2019, the Company proposes to obtain financing from Datang Lease Company in the amount from approximately RMB0.2 billion to approximately RMB0.3 billion; and (iii) the wind power and thermal power projects of certain subsidiaries of the Company in the regions such as Liaoning, Inner Mongolia and Hebei will have leasing business needs in the amount from RMB0.5 billion to 1 billion. Overall, the annual caps are determined after considering the Company's financial plans and the conditions of the financing market. As such, given the estimated transaction amount will expect to increase by at least RMB2 billion before 31 December 2019, we consider the annual cap for the period from 1 September 2019 to 31 December 2019 to be fair and reasonable.

Given that there will be substantial increase in the expected capital needs of the Company as stated above, we consider that it is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Independent Shareholders as a whole for the annual caps to be set at the respective amounts above in order to cater to the increasing needs for financial leasing services, entrusted loans services and factoring services in the 36 months commencing from 1 September 2019.

  1. Reasons for and Benefits of entering into the 2019 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement

Through entering into the 2019 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement, the Company is able to obtain financial support and relevant financing services at an interest rate lower than the market rate, which allows the Company to further reduce its overall capital costs; enhance the bargaining power of the Company and the relevant member in its group when conducting financial leasing and other businesses with Other Service Providers.

- 26 -

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER

At the same time, Datang Lease Company would be able to develop a deeper understanding in the operation of the Company and relevant units, which in turn would be able to provide more convenient, effective and efficient financial leasing and other services for the Company when compared to those services provided by Other Service Providers.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) are of the view that the relevant terms of the 2019 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement are fair and reasonable, have been entered into after arm's length negotiations and determined on normal commercial terms and in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Company, and are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

We agree that the pricing policy and internal control measures as well as principles of transactions set out above will ensure that the terms and conditions for transactions under the 2019 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement will be on normal commercial terms or better and hence will be in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders, including Independent Shareholders, as a whole.

RECOMMENDATION

Having considered the principal factors and reasons referred to above, in particular:-

  1. the principal businesses of the Company and Datang Lease Company;
  2. the pricing policy and internal control measures as well as the principles of transactions, which ensures that the pricing and other terms and conditions shall be on normal commercial terms or better and will be similar to or more favourable than that with an Independent Third Party;
  3. the historical transaction amounts and underlying reasons for setting the annual caps of the 2019 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement; and

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Directors are not aware of any material adverse changes in the Group's indebtedness position and contingent liabilities since the close of business on 31 August 2019.

  1. WORKING CAPITAL

The Directors are of the opinion that, after taking into account the present available banking facilities and the internally generated resources of the Group, the Group has sufficient working capital for its requirements with the next 12 months from the date of this circular.

  1. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF ENTERING INTO THE 2019 FINANCIAL BUSINESS COOPERATION AGREEMENT

The entering into of the 2019 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement between the Company and Datang Lease Company are beneficial to the Company to obtain financing support and relevant financing services at a lower-than-market interest rate, so as to further lower its capital costs; and to further strengthen the Company's and relevant unit's bargaining power when conducting the financing leasing business with other leasing companies. Meanwhile, Datang Lease Company would be able to develop a deeper understanding in the operation of the Company and relevant units, which in turn would be able to provide more convenient, effective and efficient financial leasing as well as factoring products design services to the Company when compared to those services provided by other financial leasing companies. However, the Company does not expect to develop dependency on Datang Lease Company on acquiring such services, and the entering into of the 2019 Financial Business Cooperation Agreement will not hinder the Company from considering to enter into similar agreements with other financial lease companies when deemed necessary.
