DISCLOSEABLE TRANSACTION -

DISPOSAL OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

THE DISPOSAL AGREEMENT

The Board hereby announces that on 8 May 2021, Khorgos Yong Zhuo Factoring, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Disposal Agreement with the Purchaser pursuant to which Khorgos Yong Zhuo Factoring agreed to dispose of and the Purchaser agreed to acquire the Accounts Receivable at a consideration of approximately RMB80.1 million.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

All relevant applicable percentage ratios for the Company as calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in relation to the Disposal Agreement on standalone basis are less than 5%; therefore, the Disposal Agreement on standalone basis does not constitute a discloseable transaction of the Company and is not subject to any disclosure requirements pursuant to Chapter 14 of the Listing Rules.

Nevertheless, the Directors consider that since the Previous Disposal Agreements and the Disposal Agreement were entered into by Khorgos Yong Zhuo Factoring with the same Purchaser within 12 months, the transaction contemplated under the Disposal Agreement shall be aggregated with the transactions under the Previous Disposal Agreements under Rule 14.22 of the Listing Rules.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio for the Company as calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in relation to the Disposal Agreement on aggregate basis exceeds 5% but is less than 25%, the Disposal Agreement constitutes a discloseable transaction for the Company under the Listing Rules and is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements.

Consideration and payment terms

The consideration to be paid by the Purchaser to acquire the Accounts Receivable was approximately RMB80.1 million. The consideration was settled by the Purchaser by paying to the designated bank account of Khorgos Yong Zhuo Factoring for the Accounts Receivable on 8 May 2021.

Basis of determination of the consideration

The consideration was determined on arm's length negotiations between Khorgos Yong Zhuo Factoring and the Purchaser based on 1) the book value of the Accounts Receivable; 2) the number of days between the date of disposal and the expected date of payment by the Debtor; and 3) the credit worthiness of the Debtor.

Completion of the disposal

Completion of the Disposal Agreement took place upon the date of receipt of the consideration by Khorgos Yong Zhuo Factoring, being 8 May 2021.

Pursuant to the transfer registration agreement between Khorgos Yong Zhuo Factoring and the Purchaser on 14 March 2019, Khorgos Yong Zhuo Factoring agreed to provide assistance to the Purchaser to register in the Zhongdeng Net the transfer of accounts receivable being disposed of by Khorgos Yong Zhuo Factoring to the Purchaser pursuant to the Framework Disposal Agreement including the Accounts Receivable.

The services were provided in consideration of the Purchaser agreeing to enter into the Disposal Agreement and therefore no service fee will be charged by Khorgos Yong Zhuo Factoring for the services provided by it.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS

After the completion of the transaction under the Disposal Agreement, the Board expects that the Company will record a gain of approximately RMB4.0 million for the Disposal Agreement based on the difference between the book value of the Accounts Receivable being disposed of and the consideration of the disposal, net of sales related taxes.
