REASONS FOR DELAY IN THE USE OF NET PROCEEDS

The original expected timeline of unutilized Net Proceeds in respect of the financing for the issue of surety bonds for future projects was 31 March 2020. The delay in the use of Net Proceeds arose mainly:

  1. Some projects do not require the issue of surety bonds;
  2. Projects tendered with a relatively low contract sum require surety bonds with smaller amount.

The above supplemental information does not affect other information contained in the 2019 Annual Report, 2020 Interim Report and 2020 Annual Report. Save as disclosed above, all other information in the 2019 Annual Report, 2020 Interim Report and 2020 Annual Report remain unchanged.

By order of the Board
