LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The Non-public Issuance of A Shares was proposed after comprehensively considering the relevant laws and regulations regarding non-public issuance of A Shares in the PRC, the securities market conditions and the actual circumstances of the Company. As non-public issuance of A Shares is a direct means of fundraising, the time required by and financing costs of which are expected to be lower than other indirect means of fundraising and can effectively optimise the asset-liability structure of the Company while providing sufficient capital support for the Company's implementation of its strategic goals, the Company did not consider alternative fundraising methods appropriate. Moreover, the proposed size of the Non-public Issuance of A Shares (subject to the approval by the CSRC) is within the limit permitted under Rule 13.36(2) (b) (as modified by Rule 19A.38) of the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Therefore, the Directors are of the view that the proposed Non-public Issuance of A Shares under the General Mandate is compliant with the applicable laws, rules and regulations, time and cost efficient and in line with the Company's actual circumstances, strategic vision and sustainable development, and as such, it is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

The Plan of the Issuance has been considered and approved at the Company's 48th meeting of the fifth session of the Board, but is still subject to the approval at the general meeting following the obtaining of the consent from the competent authority for state-owned assets supervision and administration, and the implementation of which is subject to the approval of the CSRC.

Following the receipt of the proceeds, if the actual amount of the net proceeds (after deduction of issuance expenses) is less than the proposed aggregate amount of proceeds to be applied in the above projects, the Company will adjust and determine the specific investment projects, order of priority and specific investment amounts in each project based on the actual amount of the net proceeds and the priority and capital requirements of the projects, and any shortfall in the proceeds will be made up by utilising the internal funds of the Company or through other financing methods.

APPENDIX I THE PLAN FOR THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE OF A SHARES IN 2021

  1. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSES OF THE ISSUANCE
    1. Background of the Issuance

1. The industrialization of new energy is the trend of world energy development, and the low-carbon transformation is also the inevitable course for China

Industrialization of new energy has become a trend in the world's energy development. Low-carbon transformation and development is a must for China to cope with new internal and external situations and challenges. At present, carbon dioxide emissions caused by fossil fuel combustion are the most important source of greenhouse gas emissions. Internationally, China's carbon emissions surpassed those of the European Union in 2003 and the United States in 2006, making it the biggest source of carbon emissions for many years in a row, which has put China under increasing pressure to reduce carbon emissions internationally. Domestically, under the multiple constraints of energy resources and ecological environmental capacity, effectively strengthening carbon emission control has become an increasingly powerful way to promote high- quality development and push forward the supply-side structural reform.

In the context of the national government's efforts to promote the construction of clean energy and improve the domestic energy structure, Shanghai Electric, as a large state-owned comprehensive equipment manufacturing group committed to providing global customers with integrated technology and system solutions that are green, environmentally friendly, intelligent and interconnected, actively responds to the requirements of the national low-carbon and sustainable development, and carries out the layout of the new energy business.

2. Increasing demand for smart city construction has raised the requirements for enterprises' technological reserves and industrial transformation capabilities

A smart city refers to the use of various information technologies or innovative concepts to connect and integrate various urban systems and services, so as to enhance the efficiency of resource utilisation, optimise urban management and services, and improve the quality of life of citizens. Smart government administration and smart transportation are important components of smart city. With the promotion of technologies such as the Internet of Things, cloud computing and big data, the above technologies have been widely applied in the business areas of government administration and transportation. In the field of government administration, "digital

APPENDIX I THE PLAN FOR THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE OF A SHARES IN 2021

government" was redefined. Under the leadership of new generation of information technology, the precision and intelligence of social management will be effectively driven by the government data governance. In the field of urban rail transit, automation technology and information systems are integrated to effectively improve station information management and operation and decision-making. As the scale of cities continues to expand, the demand for smart city construction from the public and the government also increases correspondingly, which in turn raises the requirements for technology reserves and industrial transformation capabilities of relevant enterprises.

3. The market demand of China's industrial internet continues to unleash

At present, the industrial internet technology has been widely applied in industries and fields such as petrochemical, steel, electronic information, home appliances, apparel, energy, machinery, automobile and aerospace, giving rise to new models and new business forms such as networked collaboration, service-oriented manufacturing and scale customisation, helping enterprises to achieve quality and efficiency improvements and speeding up the process of digital transformation. In the future, the depth of integration, implementation effect and inclusive level of the industrial internet technology in various application fields will continue to improve, and its role in driving and supporting the national economy will become increasingly prominent.

At present, the overall scale of China's manufacturing industry ranks first in the world, but compared with advanced countries, the problem of being large but not strong is still prominent, the extensive development model that mainly relied on the input of resource elements and scale expansion in the past is difficult to sustain, and it is urgent to promote the digital transformation of traditional manufacturing industry. Driven by the dual factors of industrial upgrading demand and international competitive pressure, the market demand for industrial internet in China continues to unleash and the scale of the industry will continue to expand.

  1. INFORMATION ON THE INVESTMENT PROJECTS TO BE FUNDED BY THE PROCEEDS
    1. Non-carbonEnergy Power Technology Research and Development Project

The project includes three sub-projects of "supercritical CO2 technology research and development project", "large-capacity energy storage technology research and development project" and "technology research and development project of hydrogen production from electrolyzed water", the implementation subject of which is Shanghai Electric.

1. Supercritical CO2 technology research and development project

  1. Basic information of the project

Supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) refers to a special state fluid formed when CO2 is above its critical temperature (Tc=304.1K) and critical pressure (Pc=7.38MPa). CO2 is a non-toxic,non-flammable, colorless and odorless natural working medium. In the supercritical cycle using CO2 as the working medium, CO2 absorbs heat from the heat source, generates steam to drive the turbine, and then completes the whole process of heat conversion through regenerative heat, cooling and compression. At present, nuclear power generation, coal-fired power generation and solar photovoltaic power generation are all based on the water vapor Rankine cycle principle. The supercritical CO2 Brayton cycle is a new type of power cycle that has gradually emerged in recent years. According to research, this cycle has obvious advantages in terms of power density and compression volume, and the cycle efficiency can be increased by more than 3% compared to the traditional water vapor Rankine cycle.

- 55 -

APPENDIX I THE PLAN FOR THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE OF A SHARES IN 2021

The supercritical CO2 technology research and development project intends to acquire advanced research and development equipment for the research and development of power circulation systems, core equipment and key technologies as well as experimental iterations, with a view to breaking the bottleneck in the development of existing power circulation technologies and improving the deficiencies of the original water vapor Rankine cycle system. Upon completion of the research and development of supercritical CO2 technology, the Company will be able to produce supercritical CO2 circulation systems and core equipment at 2-50MW power levels, which can be widely applied to nuclear power generation, solar thermal power generation, biomass power generation and ship power plants, etc. It is expected to play an important role in the future power system structure.

VI. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ISSUANCE OF SHARES

  1. Risks Associated with the Non-public Issuance of A Shares

1. Risks associated with approvals

The plan for the Non-public Issuance of A Shares is subject to the consideration and approval at the general meeting of the Company following the obtaining of the approval of the competent authority of state assets, and can only be implemented after obtaining the approval by the CSRC. There are uncertainties associated with the outcome of, and timeframe for, the obtaining of approvals for the above matters. Investors are advised to be aware of investment risks.

2. Risks associated with issuance

As the Issuance is available to no more than 35 specific qualified target subscribers for fund raising, and the result of issuance will be subject to various internal and external factors such as the general condition of the securities market, trend of the Company's share price and recognition of the investors on the plan of the Issuance. As such, the Issuance to specific target subscribers is subject to the risk of there being insufficient proceeds raised.

3. Risks associated with the dilution of immediate returns as a result of the Issuance to specific target subscribers

As the total share capital and net assets scale of the Company will increase significantly upon receipt of the proceeds raised from the Issuance and it will take a certain period of time for the benefits arising from the proceeds to materialise, before which, the profit of the Company and the returns to shareholders still mainly rely on the existing businesses. Therefore, the Issuance of Shares to specific target subscribers may cause the Company's immediate returns to be diluted in the short term.

- 83 -

APPENDIX I THE PLAN FOR THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE OF A SHARES IN 2021

In addition, if the investment projects to be funded by the proceeds fail to realise the expected benefits, which in turn cause an inability for the Group's future business scale and profit level to generate corresponding growth, the earnings per share, return on net assets and other financial indicators of the Company will see a certain degree of decline. Investors are hereby reminded to pay attention to the risks that the Issuance to specific targets subscribers may subject to risks related to dilution of immediate returns.

4. Risks associated with fluctuations in stock prices

Stock investment itself has certain risks. Stock prices are not only affected by the Company's financial status, operating results and development prospects, but also by various factors such as national economic policies, business cycles, inflation, stock market supply and demand, and occurrence of major natural disasters. Therefore, after the completion of the Issuance, there will be uncertainties in the stock prices in the Company's secondary market. If the performance of the stock prices is lower than investors' expectations, there is a risk that investors will suffer investment losses.

  1. Market and Operation Risks

1. Market risk

Since the equipment manufacturing industry is greatly affected by social fixed asset investment, and is greatly connected with national economic growth, both of the constant changes in the macro economy and the periodic fluctuations in the industry development will pose challenges on the sustainable development of the Company. At present, the COVID-19 pandemic has been effectively controlled in China, however, the risk of a second outbreak exists abroad. If the pandemic fails to be effectively controlled or continues to spread around the world in the future, it is expected to have a certain impact on the demand of the Company's downstream industries.

2. Competition risk

The Issuer's principal business mainly involves three major areas, namely energy equipment, industrial equipment and integrated services. As a comprehensive equipment manufacturing group, the Issuer, although in a leading position in the market, also faces competition from other large companies. In the international market, large power generation equipment manufacturing companies including G.E (General Electric) and SIEMENS all have advanced industrial technologies, and have gradually penetrated the Chinese market through joint ventures with domestic companies. As more and more multinational companies engaging in the same industry enter the Chinese market and expand their scale of production and sale in China, the Issuer's will face increasingly fierce market competition in the above-mentioned fields. If the Issuer fails to effectively enhance its own competitive advantage to consolidate its competitive position in the industry, its market share may be reduced, and its future business development may be adversely affected.

- 84 -

APPENDIX I THE PLAN FOR THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE OF A SHARES IN 2021

3. Raw material price fluctuation risk

The Issuer is principally engaged in the manufacture of large equipment, for which the raw materials are mainly metals such as steel, copper and aluminum. The cost of raw materials may be affected by various factors, such as market supply and demand, changes in suppliers, availability of alternative materials, changes in the production condition of suppliers and natural disasters. In recent years, the prices of metals such as steel, copper and aluminum have fluctuated significantly, resulting in increased uncertainty in the consolidated costs of the Issuer. Due to the time lag between the pricing of sales of products and the raw material purchases of the Issuer, if raw material costs increase significantly during such period and the Issuer is unable to transfer the increased costs to its downstream customers in a timely manner, the profitability of the Issuer may be adversely affected.

In recent years, due to the impact of slowdown in the growth rate of fixed asset investment in China, especially the cancellation, slow approval, slow construction and suspension of a large number of coal power projects, the coal power related business of the Issuer has been facing significantly increased operating pressure. The price of major raw materials such as steel and non-ferrous metals fluctuated significantly, which will expose the Company to certain risks of raw material price fluctuations.

4. Overseas business risk

The Issuer has been exploring overseas markets in recent years, especially in the integrated services segment, which has undertaken a number of large-scale overseas projects. With the Company's continuous expansion of overseas business, the political and economic situation of the relevant countries may bring corresponding risks to the progress of completion of projects and the owner's ability to pay. As the possibility of the risk resulting from changes in the political and economic pattern of the countries where the overseas business locates is increasing, the risk related to commercial disputes between the Issuer and overseas owners and partners may also increase. In addition, due to the impact of the trade war between the U.S. and China, the Issuer is exposed to the risk of declining demand in overseas markets, reduced order volume and delayed delivery of orders.

5. Exchange rate fluctuation risk

The power station facilities, power station projects, transmission and distribution projects and other business of the Company all involve export business, and the contracts of such business, the amounts of which are relatively high, are dominated in USD in general; imported equipment and parts and components are required to be purchases in the course of production of the Company, and relevant contracts are mostly dominated in USD and other main foreign currencies. If the fluctuation in the exchange rate of RMB against USD and other main foreign currencies tends to increase, the exchange rate risk to the Company may increase.

- 85 -

APPENDIX I THE PLAN FOR THE NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE OF A SHARES IN 2021

6. Periodic and policy risks

Given that the Issuer's energy equipment and industrial equipment businesses are highly correlated with the state's investment scale of fixed assets, and are greatly affected by national economic periodic fluctuations and macro policy adjustments, the Company is exposed to certain risks of economic cycle fluctuations and policy adjustments. As power equipment is the core product of the Issuer, market demand is significantly affected by the operation of power generation industry, and power demand is directly subject to periodic fluctuations of economy. The export scale of power station facilities, power station projects, transmission and distribution projects of the Issuer is relatively large, thus, the changes in global economic situation and the adjustment to national export policy will have certain impact on the operation business of the Company.

7. Other force majeure risks

The Company does not exclude the possibility of adverse impact arising from politics, policies, economy, natural disasters and other factors beyond its control.

  1. Risks Associated with the Investment Projects Funded by the Proceeds
    The feasibility study on the Company's projects to be funded with the proceeds raised is proposed based on the current economic situation, industry development trend, future market demand forecast, the Company's technical research and development capabilities and other factors. After prudent forecasting, the Company expected that the economic benefit of the investment projects to be funded with the proceeds is good. However, considering the uncertainties in the future economic situation, industry development trend and market competition environment, as well as the risks of the implementation of the projects (cost increase, schedule delay, and failure of timely availability of funds raised, etc.) and possible increase of personnel salary, the actual benefits of the investment project to be funded with the proceeds raised may be less than expected.
