Upon completion, the project will serve as a scientific research platform for emerging industries including intelligent equipment, software and information services. In March 2017, the project was approved by the Development and Reform Commission of Jing'an District, Shanghai which issued the Opinions on the Filing of Projects to be Invested by Enterprises of Shanghai ( 上海市企業投資項目備案意見》) (Jing Fa Gai Wei Bei [2017] No. 37).

In September 2018, the government adjusted the planning parametres for the area where the project is located, which resulted in fundamental changes in the planning, investment conditions, investment intensity, unit tax output and other conditions of the project and thus makes it impossible to implement the project according to the original plan and the change of investment projects. As considered and approved at the meeting of the Board of the Company held on 22 October 2018 and the 2018 third extraordinary general meeting, 2018 first A share class meeting and 2018 first H share class meeting of the Company held on 10 December 2018, the Gonghe New Road Project no longer qualifies as a proceeds-funded project and will not be financed by the proceeds. The Company proposed to use its own funds or project loans to finance the development and construction of the project.

During the advancement of the project, as the project is located in Shibei High-tech Park in Jing'an District, Shanghai, the relevant government authorities suggested that the state-owned enterprises of the district and the Company should jointly participate in the development of the project. As of the Latest Practicable Date, Shanghai Yun Zhong Xin Enterprise Development Co., Ltd. (上海雲中芯企業發展有限公司) has been established as the project company for the project with the registered capital of RMB1.2 billion, of which, SEC Property contributed RMB660 million, representing 55% of equity interests, Shanghai Shibei Hi-Tech Co., Ltd. (上海市北高新股份有限公 司) contributed RMB360 million, representing 30% of equity interests, and Shanghai Shibei Hi-Tech (Group) Co., Ltd. (上海市北高新(集團)有限公司) contributed RMB180 million, representing 15% of equity interests. In October 2018, the land use rights involved in the project construction were obtained.

The Jinshajiang Branch Road Project stretches north-to-southfrom Jinsha 3131 Creativity Park in Shanghai to Wusong River and west-to-eastfrom the green belt on the east side of the outer ring expressway to the existing watercourse, covering a total site area of 126,500 square metres. The project will mainly comprise 14 single- storey buildings and 2 two-storeybuildings, with a total gross floor area of 76,900 square metres. The project will be developed into a technology innovation park, which will serve as the Group's base for industrial R&D, design and information services focusing on research and development, design, trial production of high-efficiencyphotovoltaic, biomass power generation and factory energy-savingsystems, as well as system integration services. In March 2017, the project was approved by the Development and Reform Commission of Jiading District, Shanghai which issued the Reply on the Project of Intelligent Transportation and Technology Innovation Park at Jinshajiang Branch Road( 關於金沙江支路智能交通科技創新園區改造項目的覆 函》).

As the region is the confluence of the land parcels owned by each of the three state- owned conglomerates, i.e., the Company, Shanghai Jiaoyun Group Co., Ltd. (上海交 運(集團)有限公司) ("Shanghai Jiaoyun") and Shangtex Holding Co., Ltd. (上海紡 織(集團)有限公司) ("Shangtex Holding"), pursuant to the new planning adjustments and the principle of intensive utilization of land resources, the government of Jiading District requests the land in the "Nansikuai" region be subject to transformational development in an intensive manner and be jointly developed and utilised by the three land right holders in such region through cooperation. However, given that the three parties have different interest pursuits and other shareholders are unable to make pro- rata contributions to the project, the Jinshajiang Branch Project does not qualify as a proceeds-funded project and was thus ceased to be implemented as a proceeds-funded project upon consideration and approval at the Board meeting of the Company held on 22 October 2018 and the 2018 third extraordinary general meeting, the 2018 first A share class meeting and 2018 first H share class meeting of the Company held on 10 December 2018.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, the project company Shanghai Jinshajiang Asset Management Company Limited (上海金沙江資產管理有限公司) has been established for the project. Registered capital of the project company amounts to RMB50 million, of which, RMB27,045,000, RMB13,940,000 and RMB9,015,000 was contributed by each of the Company, Shanghai Jiaoyun and Shangtex Holding, representing 54.09%, 27.88% and 18.03% of the equity interests, respectively. The conceptual scheme for the project has been preliminarily composed and submitted to the government for approval. It is expected that land planning adjustments will be completed by the end of 2019 and development and construction of the project will commence in 2020.

  1. Construction of Industrial R&D, Design and High-end Equipment Manufacturing Base at Jungong Road

The Jungong Road Project is located in Yangpu District, Shanghai and stretches west-to-eastfrom Jungong Road to Fuxing Island Canal and north-to-southfrom the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology to Chunjiang Road, covering a total site area of 35,900 square metres. The project will mainly comprise 12 two- storey buildings and one single-storeyplant, with a total gross floor area of 274,100 square metres after the construction. The project will be developed into the R&D, design and high-endequipment manufacturing base of Shanghai Electric, mainly focusing on the R&D, manufacturing and sales of high-voltagecables, special cables and submarine cables, as well as the R&D, testing and sales of 3D printing equipment systems used in the intelligent manufacturing industry. Moreover, the base can also serve as a scientific research service platform for the energy-savingtransformation of traditional mechanical and electrical equipment and the R&D, production and sales of efficient and clean energy systems such as smart grids and distributed energy sources. In November 2016, the project was approved by the Development and Reform Commission of Yangpu District, Shanghai which issued the Reply on the Construction of Industrial R&D, Design and High-endEquipment Manufacturing Base at No. 1076 Jungong Road( 關於軍工路1076號實施工業研發設計和高端裝備製造基地建設項 目的意見回函》).

The Jungong Road Project, located at the riverside area of the Huangpu River, was originally planned for redevelopment into a "mass entrepreneurship and innovation park" at the time of the design and application for approval. However, with the implementation of the development and construction plans of the North Bund area and the East Bund area, the relevant government authority is in the process of planning the development and construction of the area where the project is located. The government authority has engaged Shanghai Urban Planning and Design Research Institute to study and adjust the planning for the area stretching from riverside of Huangpu River in the north of Dinghai Bridge to Qiujiang section in Yangpu District. Accordingly, the development plan of the Jungong Road Project will be revised in accordance with the adjusted planning of the government. As the adjustment to the planning is still in process, there is uncertainty as to the commencement of the project and whether the original plan would be implemented. In order to avoid the risk that the project cannot be implemented, the Company decides not to use the raised proceeds to finance the project, and ceases to implement the project as a proceeds-funded project upon consideration and approval at each of the Board meeting of the Company held on 22 October 2018 and the 2018 third extraordinary general meeting, the 2018 first A share class meeting and the 2018 first H share class meeting of the Company held on 10 December 2018.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, as the planning adjustments along Jungong Road where the project is located have not been completed, the Company will not proceed with the planning and construction of the project until more explicit plan for development along Jungong Road is rolled out.

  1. Reasons for the Proposed Change in Use of Proceeds
    1. The Beinei Road Project

The Beinei Road Project is located at the intersection of Huancheng Road and Wazi Lane, Songjiang District. The project extends to Wazi Lane in the west and connects Huancheng Road in the north, covering a total site area of 107,600 square metres. The project will mainly comprise 14 single-storeybuildings and 2 two-storeybuildings, with a total gross floor area of 54,000 square metres. The project will be developed into a modern creative industrial park, which will serve as a display window for creative achievements, a trading center for creative industry, an incubation area for creative enterprises, and a training base for creative talents. In March 2017, the project was approved by the Development and Reform Commission of Songjiang District, Shanghai which issued the Reply on the Opinions on the Innovative Industry Park Reformation Project at No. 32 Beinei Road, Songjiang District( 關於松江區北內路 32號創意產業園區改造項目建設意見的覆函》) (Song Fa Gai Zi [2017] No. 16).

In accordance with the requirements of the "50 Guidelines for Cultural and Creative Industries" of Shanghai, the Company reapplied for positioning of the Beinei Road Project. Upon communication with the government of Songjiang District, Shanghai, in accordance with the legal requirements for land utilisation, the Company will conduct reformation of the park according to the gross floor area stated in the original permits but will not conduct expansion. Therefore, the Company adjusted the construction plan of the Beinei Road Project including adjustment of the gross floor area from the original 54,000 square metres to 41,600 square metres, reduction of civil engineering and structure fortification projects, and adjustment of interior decoration and heating ventilation engineering of the project to be solely used for public area. Therefore, the total investment in the project will be adjusted from RMB265 million to RMB130 million.

In order to promote the implementation of the proceeds-funded project as soon as possible and in light of the inadequate investment attraction capability of SEC Property, as the implementation entity of the project, in the remote suburbs of Shanghai, SEC Property proposed to select a company with the capabilities in terms of investment attraction and park operation through an open tender process for cooperation with a view to ensuring the project's operating income in the future. Guorun Investment is a company specialized in park building and operation and has experience in park building. It has established sound partnership with the Company thanks to its past cooperation with the Company in 2 park reformation projects, and its project development progress and operation efficiency have been recognized by the Company. Upon appraisal and selection by the bid evaluation panel of SEC Property, Guorun Investment was selected as the partner for the project. SEC Property intends to establish a joint-ventured project company with Shanghai Yuanying, a subsidiary of Guorun Investment, to jointly participate in the project's construction, investment attraction and operation management.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Necessity of project construction
    1. The construction of the project is requisite for optimizing the industrial distribution in Songjiang District
      The construction of industrial parks and science and technology parks is the current development focus of Songjiang District, Shanghai and there are certain disadvantages in respect of construction of creative industries. The construction of the project is conducive to the rational layout of functional parks in Songjiang District, expansion of the economic growth mode of the parks, enriching the industrial structure of the parks, and promoting the coordinated and sustainable development of Songjiang District. Meanwhile, it is also conducive to achieving the goal of building Shanghai into a cultural and creative center and a global city by revitalizing the urban brownfield with cultural and creative industries and revitalizing the industrial heritage with innovative design.
    2. The construction of the project is necessary for enhancing the comprehensive competitiveness of the Company
      The construction of the project is the need for the Company to revitalize the existing assets and improve the utilization efficiency of land resources, and at the same time meet the planning needs of regional development and industrial upgrading. The construction of this project will also help to improve the economic benefits of the development of the parks in this project and enhance the competitiveness of the Company in the service field.
  2. Rationality of project construction
    1. The construction of the project is in line with the relevant national requirements for the development of creative industries.
      During the shift from "Made in China" to "Created in China", core creative industrial parks, serving as boosters and incubators, are in line with the national industrial development policy. In the report of the 16th National Congress of the CPC, the state has made the development of cultural industry a key strategy, proposing to improve the cultural industry policy, support the development of cultural industry, and enhance the overall strength and competitiveness of China's cultural

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

industry. The construction of creative industrial parks is necessary for boosting the competitiveness of China's cultural industries and accords with the national policy orientation. The construction of the project will give rise to the cluster effect of regional creative industries, facilitate the integration and development of creative industries and related traditional industries, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional industries towards creative industries, and enhance urban innovation and competitiveness, which is consistent with the national requirements for the development of creative industries.

  1. The construction of the project is conducive to improving the efficiency of resource utilization.
    The construction of the project takes creative industries as an entry point to help, on one hand, strengthen the intensive and economical use of land resources by changing the existing inefficient land-use patterns and promoting the efficiency and optimization of urban industrial land, and on the other hand, to improve the economic benefits of the development of the parks in this project.

4. Market prospects and risk warnings of the project

  1. Risks relating to changes in land policies
    The renovation of cultural and creative parks is highly susceptible to land policies. During the subsequent operation period of these parks, there may be policy changes in relation to effectiveness and regulatory compliance of land use, and governmental authorities may put forward some necessary requirements for the rational use of land. As such, the Company will keep a close eye on any changes in land policies, maintain good communication with the local competent authorities in the place where the project is located, and timely formulate response plans according to policy changes to ensure the smooth implementation and operation of the project.
  2. Risks relating to intensified market competition
    In recent years, cultural and creative parks have been emerging one after another and are in the process of steady development in Shanghai. With the continued substantial supply of commercial land in Shanghai, there will be plenty of commercial property in the market in coming years.

- 20 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Given the oversupply of commercial property in general at the present stage, the continuous increase of new commercial property will inevitably lead to further intensified market competition. As a result, in the process of urban renewal and revitalization of industrial land, the operation of R&D offices and cultural and creative parks is facing intense competitive pressure. Therefore, the Company has selected, through an open tender process, Guorun Investment, a company with capabilities in investment attraction and park operation, as its partner for the project, so as to boost the capabilities for investment attraction and park operation and enhance the market competitiveness of the project.

  1. Risks relating to less-than-expected economic growth
    The operation of the project is susceptible to the overall economic development of Shanghai. If the overall economic development of Shanghai falls short of expectations in the future, it may affect the operating income of the project. In this regard, the Company will formulate an effective investment attraction strategy and set up a high- calibre team to take charge of investment attraction, so as to achieve the expected investment attraction goals and reduce risks relating to the operation of the project.

5. Project approval documents

Relevant land certificates have been obtained for the project, and applications have been made for other construction related qualification documents.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. The construction of the project is conducive to guaranteeing talents for the development of the Company
    The sustainable development and R&D capacity building of the Company require a large number of high-caliber talents. However, the high cost of living, high housing prices and difficulties in setting up households in Shanghai have also increased the cost and difficulty in attracting talents. With the Central Innovation Zone as the carrier, Nantong City has introduced policies like "Double Hundred Policy" to attract talents, which has enhanced the attractiveness to talents. Through the construction of this project, the Company selects to build its regional headquarter in a region with relatively rich scientific and technological talents as well as appropriate environmental and living costs, attracting talents for the Company with its regional advantages and excellent living environment conditions. It will become an important talent training base for the Company to meet its demands in the talent development strategy.

4. Market prospects and risk warnings of the project

  1. Risks on the construction of the project
    During the construction of this project, there may be risks due to factors such as geological conditions, rising raw material prices and labour costs, and changes in construction works and safety production. For this project, the Company will invite tenders for the design, construction and supervision of buildings, select the partners with high strength, high qualifications and high credibility, strictly control the progress and quality of the project construction, and endeavour to minimize the risks during the construction of the project.
  2. Risks on failing to advance the project construction as scheduled
    During the construction of this project, if the construction land cannot be granted on time, or it cannot commence construction on time due to approval, planning adjustment of the project or other reasons after the construction land is granted, it may result in risks that the project cannot be completed as scheduled due to the delay in project construction. At present, the Company has made relevant preparations and maintained good communication with the relevant competent authorities on the construction land for the project. The Company guarantees that it will actively invest resources in all aspects and make full use of external favourable conditions to ensure the smooth progress of the project.

- 25 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  1. Risks on the operation of the project
    The project is subject to the economic development and supporting policies of Nantong during its operation. The actual economic returns of the proceeds-funded project may underperform the expectation in case of insufficient resource integration by Shanghai Electric Nantong Central Research Institute, resulting in poor investment attraction and benefits of properties and lease below expectations. The Company will conduct a detailed investigation on the lease of properties surrounding the project, determine the project's operation orientation based on the development plan of the Company, formulate an effective investment attraction strategy, and establish a high-quality investment attraction team to achieve the expected investment attraction target and reduce the project operation risk. At the same time, the Company will improve the synergy within the Group and give further rein to the competitive edges of Shanghai Electric Nantong Central Research Institute so as to ensure the effectuation of the expected economic benefits.
