CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTION

REVISED ANNUAL CAP UNDER THE SUPPLEMENTAL MASTER

TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT (2017-2019)

REVISED ANNUAL CAP UNDER THE SUPPLEMENTAL MASTER TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT (2017-2019)

Reference is made to the announcements of Sany Heavy Equipment International Holdings Company Limited dated 16 March 2017 and 29 August 2018 in relation to, among others, the entering into of the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) and the revised annual caps. Pursuant to the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019), Sany Logistics is responsible for providing certain logistics services to the Company or its subsidiaries in connection with the transportation of coal mining machinery and equipment.

Due to the increase in sales of products of the Group which in turn stimulated the logistics services, the Company and Sany Logistics intended to increase the annual cap for services under the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) from RMB122,000,000 to RMB220,000,000 in 2019. All other existing key terms and conditions under the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) remain unchanged.

IMPLICATION UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As at the date of this announcement, Mr. Liang Wengen is a controlling shareholder of the Company by virtue of 10,870,000 ordinary Shares directly held by him and his indirect 56.38% interests in Sany Hong Kong, which in turn holds 2,098,447,688 ordinary Shares and 479,781,034 convertible preference shares of the Company, which, in aggregate, represents 83.56% of the issued share capital of the Company.

Sany Logistics, being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sany Group, is therefore an associate of Mr. Liang Wengen under Rule 14A.12(1)(c) and hence a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules.

1

Accordingly, the transactions under the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) constitute connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Revised Annual Cap under the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) are more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the Revised Annual Cap under the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) would be subject to reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from the Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Pursuant to the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019), Sany Logistics is responsible for providing certain logistics services to the Company or its subsidiaries in connection with the transportation of coal mining machinery and equipment.

Due to the increase in sales of products of the Group which in turn stimulated the logistics services, the Company and Sany Logistics intended to increase the annual cap for services under the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) from RMB122,000,000 to RMB220,000,000 in 2019. All other existing key terms and conditions under the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017- 2019) remain unchanged.

The major terms of the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) and its supplemental are set out as follows:

Parties:

(1)

the Company, and

(2)

Sany Logistics

Transaction:

Sany Logistics agreed to provide certain logistics services to the Company

or its subsidiaries in connection with the transportation of coal mining

machinery and equipment.

In respect of each sale of transportation task, the Company and Sany

Logistics would enter into separate transportation agreements to specify,

among others, the exact types and number of products to be transported,

the distance, and the transportation period.

Term:

The Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) has a

fixed term of three years ending 31 December 2019.

2

Services fee:The service fees payable shall be determined based on arm's length negotiation with reference to (i) means of transportation, (ii) transportation distance, (iii) transportation location, (iv) weight of the goods transported and (v) gasoline price, which should be in any event no less favorable to the Group than is available to Independent Third Parties.

Payment:A monthly invoice for service fees shall be issued by Sany Logistics to the Company and payment for the service fees will be settled by way of telegraphic transfer or cheque in the following month upon receipt of the invoice by the Company.

Historical figures: Below sets forth the historical caps and the actual transaction amounts for the transactions contemplated for the three financial years ended 31 December 2018.

RMB44.102 million

31 December 2018

RMB122.000 million

RMB104.131 million

Original annual caps:

It was proposed that the revised annual cap amounts for the transactions

contemplated under the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement

(2017-2019) for the three financial years ending 31 December 2019 would

be set at RMB49.79 million, RMB122 million and RMB122 million,

respectively.

Basis of the original

The proposed annual caps under the Supplemental Master Transportation

annual caps:

Agreement (2017-2019) are determined with reference to (i) the historical

transaction amounts, (ii) prevailing market price for logistics service fees

in the open market in the PRC, and (iii) the anticipated business volume of

the Group's products and the expected logistics services to be involved.

Revised Annual Cap

On 27 September 2019, the parties agreed to revise the annual cap (the

"Revised Annual Cap") for the provision of the logistics services for the

year ending 31 December 2019 as follows:

Financial Year Ending

Revised Annual Cap

31 December 2019

RMB220,000,000

Basis of the Revised

The Revised Annual Cap was determined based on (1) the transportation

Annual Cap

transaction amount for the six months ended 30 June 2019 and for the

eight months ended 31 August 2019, being approximately RMB83.644

million and approximately RMB104 million, respectively, (2) the orders

for the sales of products for the first half of 2019 and (3) the anticipated

business volume of the Group's products and the expected logistics

services to be involved, which is in line with the increase in the Group's

sales.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF REVISED ANNUAL CAP UNDER THE SUPPLEMENTAL MASTER TRANSPORTATION AGREEMENT (2017-2019)

Due to the increase of sales of products of the Group which in turn stimulated the logistics services, the Company considers that the original annual caps under the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) cannot satisfy the expected business commitment. As a result, the parties intended to revise the annual cap for the year ending 31 December 2019 thereunder.

As no Director has a material interest in the transaction contemplated under the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) and the Revised Annual Cap, none of the Directors is required to abstain from voting on the relevant board resolution for considering and approving the same.

IMPLICATION UNDER THE LISTING RULES

As at the date of this announcement, Mr. Liang Wengen is a controlling shareholder of the Company by virtue of 10,870,000 ordinary Shares directly held by him and his indirect 56.38% interests in Sany Hong Kong, which in turn holds 2,098,447,688 ordinary Shares and 479,781,034 convertible preference shares of the Company, which, in aggregate, represents 83.56% of the issued share capital of the Company.

Sany Logistics, being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sany Group, is therefore an associate of Mr. Liang Wengen under Rule 14A.12(1)(c) and hence a connected person of the Company under the Listing Rules.

Accordingly, the transactions under the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) constitute continuing connected transactions of the Company under the Listing Rules.

As one or more of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the transactions under the Supplemental Master Transportation Agreement (2017-2019) and the Revised Annual Cap are more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the Revised Annual Cap would be subject to reporting and announcement requirements but exempt from the Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
