November 2017 in relation to the subscription by GIC Investment Limited (the "Investor"), a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company, of the HK$100,000,000 5.5% convertible bonds with a term of 3 years (the "Convertible Bonds") issued by Asia Energy Logistics Group Limited (the "Issuer"), a company listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited with the stock code 351, under a subscription agreement dated 30 November 2017 (the "Subscription Agreement") (the

"Announcement").

Unless otherwise specified, capitalised terms used herein shall have the same meanings as those defined in the Announcement.

DEED OF AMENDMENT

On 17 September 2019 (after trading hours), the Issuer and the Investor entered into a deed of amendment (the "Deed of Amendment"), pursuant to which the Issuer and the Investor have conditionally agreed to, among other matters, supplement and amend certain terms and conditions of the original terms and conditions of the Convertible Bonds (the "Bond Conditions").

As at the date of this announcement, the Convertible Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of HK$100,000,000, are convertible into Issuer Shares at the conversion price of HK$0.8505 per Conversion Share. The outstanding Convertible Bonds will mature on 2 March 2021.

The Convertible Bonds are secured by the ship mortgage, deed of covenant and deed of assignment created over and in respect of a dry bulk vessel of a wholly owned subsidiary of the Issuer, and the charge over a bank account of the Issuer. These securities are given in favour of the Investor on 27 April 2018.

The principal terms of the Deed of Amendment are set out below:

If any of the conditions precedent set out above has not been fulfilled by 5:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time) on 30 November 2019 (or such later date as the parties to the Deed of Amendment may agree in writing), the Deed of Amendment shall automatically terminate on 30 November 2019 and none of the parties shall have any claim of any nature or liabilities hereunder whatsoever against any of the other party (save for any antecedent breaches of the terms hereof).

Proposed Amended Conversion Price

The proposed amended conversion price of HK$0.375 per Conversion Share represents:

  1. a discount of approximately 55.91% to the initial conversion price of HK$0.8505 per Conversion Share (as adjusted as a result of the Share Consolidation) of the Convertible Bonds;
  1. a premium of approximately 5.63% over the closing price of HK$0.355 per Issuer Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange on 17 September 2019, being the date of the Deed of Amendment;
  1. a premium of approximately 5.63% to the average closing price of HK$0.355 per Issuer Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last five trading days up to and including the date of the Deed of Amendment; and
  2. a premium of approximately 8.06% to the average closing price of HK$0.347 per Issuer Share as quoted on the Stock Exchange for the last ten trading days up to and including the date of the Deed of Amendment.

INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTOR

The principal business activity of the Company is investment holding. The Group is principally engaged in: (i) the manufacturing and sales of polysilicon and wafer products; and (ii) the development, owning and operation of solar farms.

The Investor is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in the British Virgin Islands with its principal activity as an investment holding company.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE ISSUER AND THE COMPANY

As at the date of this announcement, Mr. Zhu Gongshan, the chairman and a director of the Company, is interested in approximately 4.59% of the Issuer Shares [and is a director of various subsidiaries of the Issuer.

Save as aforementioned, to the best of the Directors' knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, the Issuer is a third party independent of the Company and connected persons of the Company.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS

The Convertible Bonds were originally issued to the Group (through the Investor) on 2 March 2018.

The Proposed Amendments are expected to benefit the Group, because the reduced conversion price will increase the number of Conversion Shares that the Investor can potentially receive upon the exercise of its conversion rights. Under the current conversion price of HK$0.8505 per Conversion Share (assuming no adjustments), the number of Conversion Shares issuable by the Issuer upon full exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Bonds would be 117,577,895 Conversion Shares. On the other hand, under the proposed amended conversion price of HK$0.375 per Conversion Share (assuming no adjustments), the number of Conversion Shares issuable by the Issuer upon full exercise of the conversion rights attached to the Convertible Bonds would be 266,666,666 Conversion Shares.

The Proposed Amendments also allow the Investor to freely transfer the Convertible Bonds in whole or in part to any third party which is not a connected person (within the meaning of the Listing Rules) of the Issuer. The Board therefore expects the Proposed Amendments to increase the liquidity of the Convertible Bonds.

Based on the above, the Directors consider that the Deed of Amendment is fair and reasonable and on normal commercial terms, and the Deed of Amendment is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

By order of the Board
