  6. the amount of losses resulting from any action that would cause a material delay in the XSHN Completion; or

- 10 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Basis of determining the considerations for the Disposals

The initial considerations for the XSHN Disposal and the XSYN Disposal were determined upon arm's length negotiations between the Vendor and the Purchaser with reference to the unaudited net asset values of XSHN and XSYN of approximately RMB438,794,000 and RMB84,818,000, respectively, as at the Reference Date.

Completion of the Disposals

Upon completion of the Disposals, the Target Companies have ceased to be non wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company and their financial results are no longer consolidated in the Group's financial statements.

Default Penalty

If the Purchaser fails to fulfil its obligation to pay the relevant consideration pursuant to the terms of the relevant Equity Transfer Agreement, the Purchaser will be liable to pay to the Vendor a daily default payment of 0.01% of the relevant amount due.

Failure of the Purchaser to perform its obligation to pay the consideration or the default interest rate pursuant to the relevant Equity Transfer Agreement constitutes an event of default on the part of the Purchaser and the Purchaser is liable for losses incurred thereunder. Upon which, the Vendor is entitled to commence litigation against the Purchaser in the PRC court with competent jurisdiction and claim restitution in accordance with the PRC law.

If the Purchaser refuses to perform the court decision in favour of the Vendor, the Vendor may seek enforcement by the court. Under this circumstance, the Purchaser may be added into 失信執行人名錄 (the List of Untrustworthy Executors*) (an effective enforcement machinery in the PRC), which may have a material adverse effect on the assessment of the Purchaser's credit rating and reputation.

Taking into consideration of the general market practice in the solar industry as well as the background of the Purchaser, the Directors are of the view that the settlement and completion mechanism is sufficient to safeguard the Company's right to receive the full consideration and the possibility of the Purchaser would not honour its contractual commitment is relatively low.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Termination of the guarantee and the CITIC Finance Lease

As at the Reference Date, the total amount (including, among others, principal lease cost, interests, handling fees and consultancy service fees) payable by each of XSHN and XSYN under the CITIC Finance Lease was approximately RMB531,563,000 and RMB101,250,000, respectively. Pursuant to the Equity Transfer Agreements, by no later than 6 months after the Completion Date, the Purchaser shall (i) provide necessary financing facilities to the Target Companies for their repayment of the outstanding amount under the CITIC Finance Lease and terminate the CITIC Finance Lease; and (ii) procure for the release of the guarantee provided by the Vendor and its affiliates to secure the borrowings of the Target Companies.

In the event that the obligations under the guarantee provided by the Vendor and its affiliates are triggered after the Completion Date, the Vendor and its affiliates shall be entitled to seek for damages from the Target Companies for any losses incurred thereunder.

INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY AND THE VENDOR

The principal activity of the Company is investment holding. The Group is principally engaged in the investment, development, construction, operation and management of photovoltaic power businesses, wind power businesses and clean heat supply businesses in the PRC.

The Vendor is an indirect non wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and is principally engaged in the provision of consultancy services in relation to photovoltaic power business.

INFORMATION ON THE PURCHASER

The Purchaser is a company established in the PRC whose shares are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange (stock code: 600886.SH).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

INFORMATION ON THE TARGET COMPANIES

The Target Companies are established in the PRC with limited liability and were wholly owned by the Vendor immediately before the completion of the Disposals. Each of XSHN and XSYN is principally engaged in the investment, development and operation of the XSHN Project and the XSYN Project, respectively.

Based on the unaudited financial accounts of the Target Companies, as at 31 December 2019, the net asset values of XSHN and XSYN are approximately RMB438,728,000 and approximately RMB85,956,000, respectively.

The table below sets forth the unaudited net profits before and after taxation of the Target Companies for the two financial years ended 31 December 2019:

As a result of the Disposals, subject to audit, it is expected that there will be a net gain of approximately RMB380,000 for the XSHN Disposal and approximately RMB1,270,000 for the XSYN Disposal accrued to the Group, being the difference between the XSHN Consideration and the XSYN Consideration from the Disposals and (i) the net asset values of XSHN and XSYN of approximately RMB437,620,000 and approximately RMB98,730,000, respectively, based on the unaudited financial information of the Target Companies as at 30 April 2020; and (ii) the related transaction costs, taxes and expenses of the Disposals.

The proceeds from the Disposals will be approximately RMB538,000,000. It is intended that such proceeds will be used for repayment of indebtedness owed by the Group and/or general working capital purposes of the Group.

- 13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE EQUITY TRANSFER AGREEMENTS

The Directors consider that it is a good opportunity for the Group to realise its investments in the Target Companies so as to better allocate the Group's resources to develop other more favourable clean energy projects and optimise its clean energy power station assets portfolio.

In addition, the net proceeds from the Disposals will enhance the Group's financial position for improving the Group's gearing ratio and generating an immediate cash inflow for the development of clean energy projects and/or general working capital purposes of the Group. Meanwhile, the repayment of the existing indebtedness can lower the associated finance costs, effectively reducing the financial risks.

In view of the above, the Board is of the view that the terms of the Equity Transfer Agreements were entered into on normal commercial terms, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Shareholders as a whole. None of the Directors has any material interest in the transactions contemplated under the Equity Transfer Agreements, and therefore none of them is required to abstain from voting for the relevant board resolution(s) to approve the Equity Transfer Agreements and the transactions contemplated thereunder.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As one of the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Equity Transfer Agreements exceeds 25% and all of them are less than 75%, the Equity Transfer Agreements constitute a major transaction for the Company under Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules and is subject to reporting, announcement, circular and shareholders' approval requirements pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

To the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Directors, after having made all reasonable enquiries, no Shareholders or any of their respective associates have any material interest in the Disposals. As such, no Shareholders would be required to abstain from voting in favour of the resolution approving the Disposals. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Relevant Shareholders, being a closely allied group of Shareholders, control an aggregate of 35,443,037,981 Shares, which represents approximately 55.79% of the Company's issued share capital and voting rights in the Company's general meeting and written Shareholders' approval for the Disposals has been obtained from the Relevant Shareholders. Accordingly, pursuant to Rule

14.44 of the Listing Rules, such written Shareholders' approval may be accepted in lieu of holding a general meeting of the Company to approve the terms of, and the transactions contemplated under, the Equity Transfer Agreements upon satisfaction of the conditions set out under Rule 14.44 of the Listing Rules.

The Group provided a guarantee in respect of a bank borrowing amounted to HK$173 million of an associate of the Group as at 31 May 2020. Pursuant to the above arrangement, the related cash and bank balances were pledged to the bank as collateral for the borrowing.

3. WORKING CAPITAL

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS

The unexpected outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019 has caused a serious adverse impact on the overall PRC market's economic performance in January and February of 2020 and thereafter. However, due to the main business models of the Group as a photovoltaic power plant and wind power plant owner and operator, its daily operation has not been affected by any sudden outbreak or disaster but by the photovoltaic irradiation level and the wind speed level. This proves once again the stability of the photovoltaic power and the wind power electricity generation businesses by the Group. While the Group's daily operations have been unscathed as a photovoltaic power plant and wind power plant owner and operator, the Group remains cautious about the business development of the Group in the future, with plans to make appropriate adjustment to its

development plans and business goals when necessary. The Group considers the Equity Transfer Agreements as a good opportunity to realize its investments in the Target Companies at an opportune time, so as to better allocate its resources to develop other clean energy projects and optimise its clean energy power station assets portfolio.

The Group is still optimistic about the prospects in the clean energy industry in the PRC, and the Equity Transfer Agreements will continue to anchor the ongoing business optimization measures of the Group, with a view to delivering sustainable shareholder return going forward.

Save as disclosed herein, the Directors confirm that there are no material adverse changes in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2019 (being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up).
