LETTER FROM THE BOARD

(III) General Mandate

The A Shares to be issued under the Proposed Non-public Issuance will be allotted and issued by the Company pursuant to the General Mandate, which allows the Board to allot, issue and deal with not more than 20% of the number of A Shares in issue as at the date of the AGM (being 1,302,010,311 A Shares).

(IV) Fund raising activities in the past 12 months

The Company has not raised any funds from the issue of equity securities in the 12 months immediately preceding the date of the Announcement.

(V) Reasons and benefits of the Proposed Non-public Issuance

To improve the level of intelligent manufacturing of the Company, further reduce costs and increase efficiency

Construction machinery falls within the scope of high-end equipment manufacturing industry, which is a typical capital- and technology-intensive industry requiring high level of investment and technical input. The manufacturing of construction machinery industry is characterised by wide product range, numerous parts and components, small output and complicated manufacturing processes. The intelligent manufacturing of construction machinery towards which the proceeds from the Proposed Non-public Issuance is proposed to be used will promote the ongoing optimisation of design, production, management, service and other aspects of the Company and procure their comprehensive integration, which is a necessary manoeuvre for the Company to foster effective transformation and upgrading. The intelligent manufacturing of construction machinery will involve the setting up of an automated plant in compliant with Industry 4.0 Standard, which enables a gradual implementation of data traceability at each production section and along the production process, in order to effectively enhance the operation efficiency, reduce production costs and laying a solid technical foundation for rapid and ongoing development of the Company.

To enhance self-sufficiency of core parts and components and increase competitiveness of the Company

Due to the long-term monopoly of technologies relating to core parts and components by developed countries as well as insufficient technicians and experts with innovative design capabilities and lack of key raw materials for certain core parts and components in China, the industry has long been relying on foreign imports of three core parts and components required for construction machinery in China, namely hydraulic parts and components, engines, and electronic control systems. The proceeds from the Proposed Non- public Issuance will be invested in upgrading key hydraulic parts, particularly focusing on developing key technologies, increasing investment in the research and development equipment of hydraulic parts and components so as to strengthen the inadequate hydraulic sector of both the Company and China, and also to develop its own core control technology in the hydraulic sector, strengthen the capabilities of technology research and development and transformation of industry, and increase competitiveness of the Company.

- 11 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

To replenish liquidity and facilitate sustainable operation of the Company

The manufacturing of construction machinery requires a wide range of costly equipment, thus involving high investment in fixed assets. Accordingly, the ability of a construction machinery company to make huge investment in purchasing advanced production equipment to manufacture high-end products with high reliability, precision and sensitivity that meets the requirements of downstream customers has become the key to its development. The construction machinery industry is also capital-intensive, where the industry players need substantial liquidity to support day-to-day manufacturing.

The proceeds from the Proposed Non-public Issuance will be used by the Company to satisfy its working capital requirements, providing financial support for the future business upgrade and technology development of the Company, laying a sound foundation for the continuous healthy development of subsequent business and for strengthening the competitive position in the industry. In addition, the Proposed Non-public Issuance will help to replenish liquidity of the Company, which will improve its financial strength, optimise its capital structure, increase flexibility and long-term sustainability of its funds, reduce financial risks and enhance overall risk resistant capacity.

To introduce strategic investors for promoting the long-term development of the Company

Through the Proposed Non-public Issuance, the Company intends to introduce Huaijin Cornerstone, Taiping Life Insurance, Hainan Chengyisheng and Ningbo Shituo as strategic investors to facilitate the development of the Company. Such strategic investors will contribute to the Company by fully capitalising their respective industrial resources, market channels and other advantages, and cooperate with the Company in principal businesses, financial services and other aspects. The Proposed Non-public Issuance will allow the Company to capture material strategic resources, facilitating further expansion of new product sales channels and promoting sales performance, which is conducive to the long- term development of the Company.

  1. Proposal for the Proposed Non-public Issuance

Please refer to the overseas regulatory announcement of the Company dated 5 July 2020, which contains the full text of the proposal for the Proposed Non-public Issuance in the Chinese language.

  1. Strategic Cooperation Agreements

As part of the Proposed Non-public Issuance, the Company proposes to enter into the Strategic Cooperation Agreements with the Subscribers.

  1. Purpose of the transaction
    1. To enhance the capital strength of the Company, satisfy the increasing liquidity needs due to the expansion of the major business and facilitate the development of the business of the Company by implementation of the Proposed Non-public Issuance.
    2. To fully leverage the existing financing channels of the Company for enhancing the efficiency of financing and increasing profitability.
    3. To reduce the gearing ratio, optimise the capital structure and enhance the risk resistant capability.
  2. Impact of the transaction on the Company

The transaction will not have a significant impact on the structure of the major business of the Company. It does not involve any acquisition of assets and therefore does not result in any integration of business and asset of the Company. The Proposed Non- public Issuance will enhance the capital strength, increase the asset size and improve the risk resistant capability of the Company, which will improve the overall competitiveness and the market position of the Company and procure the sustainable development of the Company. Once the proceeds from the Proposed Non-public Issuance are received and available for use, the total assets and the net assets of the Company will increase, the working capital will be further replenished and the debt financing and financial expenses will be reduced, thus optimising the financial structure of the Company, reducing the financial risks and further enhancing the profitability of the Company.

  1. Feasibility analysis report on the use of proceeds of the Proposed Non-public Issuance

Please refer to Appendix I for the full text of the feasibility analysis report on the use of proceeds of the Proposed Non-public Issuance. In the event of any discrepancy between the English translation and the Chinese version of the document, the Chinese version prevails.

  1. Statement of exemption from the preparation of a report on the use of proceeds from previous fund raising activities

As approved by the CSRC (Zheng Jian Xu Ke [2010] No. 1654) and Hong Kong Stock Exchange, after 869,582,800 H Shares were issued by the Company and listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 23 December 2010, 130,437,400 H Shares which were issued pursuant to the full exercise of the over-allotment option on 5 January 2011 were listed and traded on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange on 13 January 2011.

Five accounting years have lapsed since the date of receipt of proceeds from the last fund raising exercise by the Company.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

According to the relevant requirements of the Regulations relating to the Report on the Use of Proceeds from Previous Fund Raising Activities ( 關於前次募集資金使用情況報告的規定》)

(Zheng Jian Fa Xing Zi [2007] No. 500) issued by the CSRC: "For companies which have applied to issue securities and if the period between the date of receipt of proceeds from the previous fund raising activities till now is less than five accounting years, the board of directors shall prepare relevant report on the use of proceeds from previous fund raising activities in accordance with this regulation, and provide details on the last use of proceeds (whether onshore or offshore) from the closing date of the last audited financial statements relating to the application documents for issuance, then the board of directors shall resolve on reporting the use of proceeds from previous fund raising activities and submit the report for approval at a general meeting of shareholders". Since the Company has not launched any fund raising activity by way of placing of shares or issuance of new shares, convertible corporate bonds or other types of securities under the Administrative Measures for the last five accounting years, five accounting years have lapsed since the date of receipt of proceeds from the last fund raising exercise by the Company. The Company therefore is not required to prepare a report on the use of proceeds from previous fund raising activities for the purpose of the Proposed Non- public Issuance, nor is it required to engage a certified public accountant to issue an assessment report on the use of proceeds from previous fund raising activities.

  1. Necessity and feasibility of the projects
    1. Construction machinery intelligent manufacturing projects

Both the excavating machinery intelligent manufacturing project and the project for upgrading intelligent manufacturing of mixer trucks are construction machinery intelligent manufacturing projects. The necessity and feasibility of the projects is as follow:

1. Necessity of the projects

  1. The construction machinery industry is on the upward trend with rapid growth in domestic demand

The construction machinery industry of the PRC has already on its upward trend since 2017. Combined with factors such as growth in domestic infrastructure investment and improvement in the property industry, the domestic construction machinery market has been growing rapidly, resulting in record high in sales of major products.

The development of the construction machinery industry has long been driven by the State policy of infrastructure investment. On 17 April 2020, the Political Bureau reinstated at its meeting "to strengthen traditional and innovative infrastructure investment". Thereafter, proposals have been announced by various provinces to strengthen the country by constructing transportation infrastructures with those "super construction projects" such as high-speed railways along the coast, intelligent highways and rail transport, as the key projects. High-technology and high- technique innovative infrastructures, such as 5G base stations, ultra-high voltage (UHV) transmission, intra-citieshigh-speed railway and rail transportation, together with investment to advanced manufacturing industrial sector will stimulate the development of the construction machinery industry.

Property development and construction sector is another important sector which applies construction machinery. In 2019, new construction area of the PRC was 2.27 billion square metres, representing a year-on-year increase of 8.5%. In the same year, the accumulated investment in property development reached RMB1.32 billion, representing a year-on-year increase of 9.9%. Increase in both new construction area and investment in property development has driven the substantial growth of the construction machinery industry. Despite the economic slump and decline in new construction area and investment in property development in the PRC due to the global coronavirus disease and oil price since January 2020, investment in property development has rapidly bounced back when the disease is under better control and work and production has been gradually resumed. In light of the increasing land supply and improvement in financing ability of companies, it is expected that the property investment remains resilient and continues to have driving force to the construction machinery industry.

In view of the increasing market demand, the Company needs to speed up its adjustment to and upgrade of industry structure in order to secure sound and sustainable development in future.

FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS REPORT ON THE USE OF

PROCEEDS OF THE PROPOSED NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE

  1. The national environmental policy and measures addressing excessive production capacity create new demand generating from vehicle replacement

During recent years, the national environmental and safety control policies have been tightened. Small-mid machinery enterprises with low R&D capability and technology level, as well as their obsolete capacity, are gradually eliminated. Capitalised on advantages over technology, products and financial strength, leading players continue to capture market share. For instance, in the concrete mixer truck industry, the inventory of equipment of China III vehicle emission standards and of below standards represents more than 30% of the total number. Mixer trucks are mainly used for transport concrete for highways. Since they are subject to the diesel emission policy, the market will need approximately 20,000 new mixer trucks per annum from 2020 to 2023, in addition to the demand creating from vehicle replacement. Furthermore, overloading is common in the mixer truck industry. Due to the regulation combating overloading, demand for compliant mixer trucks will grow rapidly. Environmental policy and regulation combating overloading will accelerate equipment replacement which will create new demand for the market.

Therefore, construction machinery satisfying national environmental policy and loading standards will be chosen as the replacement in the next couple of years, creating substantial market demand for the project.

  1. Key components intelligent manufacturing project
    1. Necessity of the project
    1. High-strengthsteel and metal sheet are the key material for light-weight products of the Company

Light-weight products have become the future trend for the construction machinery industry due to the increasing urbanisation and industrialisation of the PRC, strong government support to environmental protection and active promotion of low energy-consumption and emission car. In light of the market trend of large- size light-weight products, high-strength steel and metal sheet are widely applied to manufacture structural and wear-resistant parts. For instance, the 5-axle67-Meter steel boom pump truck, the star product of the Company, is made of 1,100MPa ultra high-strength steel with a hollow design. It is well received by the industry. High- strength steel and metal sheet are also the integral part of the Company's products, such as excavator, crane, pump truck, aerial work platform.

Competition in the global construction machinery market is increasingly keen. The Company is required to achieve intelligent manufacturing for key components, launch wide-ranged and diversified products and enhance product quality to satisfy market needs. It also needs to align with market trend and establish competitive advantages in the market.

  1. Intelligent manufacturing of high-strength steel and metal sheet can greatly enhance the manufacturing efficiency

Intelligent manufacturing of high-strength steel and metal sheet has higher technology requirements than traditional manufacturing where precision of products made of traditional steel cannot be secured. Therefore, mid- and high-end digital steel bar and intelligent workshop are the options to ensure quality and efficiency of key parts and components.

The project will introduce various mid- to high-end digital processing equipment, such as fibre laser cutting machines, one-headed plasma cutting machines, and multi-headed digital flame cutting machines. Also, intelligent manufacturing workshops will be designed in such a way compatible with the production scale, product features and knowhow requirements in order to achieve a high output ratio. The project will invest in various intelligent manufacturing equipment which enables higher automation and efficiency of production lines. Design concept of shortest distance will be adopted in workshops to reduce repeated or unnecessary logistics distance.

  1. Centralised production of high-strength steel and metal sheet can achieve higher efficiency in cost

The current production bases of high-strength steel and metal sheet of the Company are scattered across Changsha, Weinan and other cities in the PRC. The scattered distribution leads to difficulty in overall management of parts and components and in monitoring sub-standard output, resulting in material wastage. Besides, numerous production bases also increase the transportation costs of the Company in adjusting and dispatching resources in between these bases.

Key components intelligent manufacturing project can resolve the above problems. Firstly, centralised production facilitates the promotion and application of intelligent manufacturing and new high technology. It helps to save investment, shorten production flow, and achieve safe production. Further, the project is located at an area with good transportation network. Centralized and sizable production not only reduces raw material wastage and quality risks, but also achieves greater cost benefits. Centralised production base also facilitates the Company to demonstrate its production capability, enhance corporate image and gain international connection.

  1. Intelligent manufacturing project of key hydraulic parts (hydraulic valves)
    1. Necessity of the project
    1. To develop core hydraulic technology to improve the competitiveness of the Company

Hydraulic component for construction machinery is a type of hydraulic part with high adaptability and distinct function. Technological level of hydraulic component, as an ancillary part of construction machinery, has been upgraded, driven by the rapid development and increasing technological level of construction machinery in the PRC. Construction machinery of advanced level, high energy-saving function, high safety and comfort, and integration of mechanics, hydraulics and electrics has undoubtedly become the market trend. There are numerous manufacturers of hydraulic valves, as an ancillary part for construction machinery, in the PRC. However, there remains a gap with international players in terms of advancement level. The core technology level remains low in the PRC. Therefore, the PRC relies heavily on imported hydraulic valves for local large-scale construction machineries. Manual control and proportional hydraulic control valves are the main technology adopted by products in the PRC while the proportion electric control valve remains an empty sector due to lack of core technology. Since the processing equipment and knowhow adopted by products in other countries are more advanced, such products demonstrate a high stability and reliance over domestic products.

After implementation of this funded project, the Company will increase investment in hydraulic machinery sector and R&D of hydraulic components through recruiting and training R&D calibre. Such efforts enable the Company to strengthen the area where it and the PRC underperform, to develop core hydraulic technology and to enhance R&D and capacity-switching capability and ultimately the competitiveness of the Company.

  1. To reduce reliance on imported high-end hydraulic products and enhance the risk tolerance of the Company

After several technical reforms of the hydraulic component industry of the PRC, both product quality and technology level have been greatly enhanced. Despite such enhancement, a gap remains between the local and international level. Substantial key construction projects still reply import for high performance and specialised high- tech products. Excessive reliance on imported high-end hydraulic component and huge demand in domestic hydraulic market are the features of the current hydraulic market of the PRC. The construction machinery industry in the PRC faces various issues, including high price of imported products, untimely supply of ancillary parts, high requirements set by operators, and high training and maintenance cost. In addition, import of hydraulic components is subject to risk of supply restriction under the Sino-American trade war. The PRC needs to achieve local production instead of import from foreign countries. Thus, producing advanced level and price competitive hydraulic components for large construction machineries to replace imported products has become the common objective of the industry. Adjustment to industry structure as well as industry upgrade is necessary.

environmental policy and growing export demand. In addition, the construction

machinery industry is expecting another new cycle. The machinery products sold at

the peak during 2009 and 2013 will have to be replaced or eliminated in the next three

years. Export of construction machinery and equipment from the PRC is promoted by

the One-BeltOne-Road policy, under which infrastructure investment support from

the PRC government to the underdeveloped countries in terms of technology, man

power and funds has greatly improved the infrastructure investment in these countries

in recent years. Therefore, the combined force driven by internal demand and export

will position the construction machinery industry into an upward trend in the next 3 to

5 years.

Hydraulic component industry is an industry providing ancillary parts to main

engines. Its demand is linked with the performance of the main engine industry.

Construction machinery industry is the largest downstream user of hydraulic products

in the PRC, accounting for more than 35% of the domestic hydraulic products. In

future, sales increase in construction machinery is undoubtedly linked with the sales

of key hydraulic component. Therefore, demand for key hydraulic components from

the construction machinery industry is expected to grow year by year.

(3) National policies support the development of the hydraulic component industry

The PRC government has promulgated various infrastructure development

policies, such as "One-BeltOne-Road", policy of new form of urbanisation and policy

to strengthen the country by transportation infrastructure. In early 2020, the PRC

government has proposed new initiatives to stimulate economic development through

innovative and traditional infrastructure development. Supported by the series of state

policies, the construction machinery sector and its upstream hydraulic component

industry are expecting new business opportunities.

APPENDIX I

FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS REPORT ON THE USE OF

PROCEEDS OF THE PROPOSED NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE

Meanwhile, the PRC has launched various policies, including the

4-Infrastructure Development Catalogue (2016 edition), the Plan for Standardising

and Upgrading Quality of Equipment Manufacturing Industry, the Development Plan

of Construction Machinery Industry under the 13th Five Year Plan and the Guiding

Opinion on Accelerating Improvement in Industrial Infrastructure, to support the

development of the equipment manufacturing and hydraulic components industry.

After contribution and efforts in the past 5-10 years since the initiatives were

proposed by the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of

Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Technology and the Ministry

of Finance, some of the domestic core basic spare parts and components and key

basic material have becoming leading products in the world, supporting the overall

development of the industry and providing foundation for further construction and

infrastructure and in turn the national economy of the PRC.

The intelligent manufacturing project of key hydraulic parts (hydraulic valves)

to be funded by the proceeds of the Proposed Non-public Issuance is in line with the

development direction of the PRC and falls within the sectors which is the highlight

area under the macro-economic and industry policy of the PRC. Therefore, the project

is feasible.

(IV) Liquidity replenishment

1. Necessity of the project

  1. To satisfy the capital requirements of the Company in expanding core business

As the downstream customers engaging in the national infrastructure and property development and mining operation have increasing demand for quality products, the Company is required to keep improving the design and technology of the relevant construction machinery products so as to secure sustainable business growth. During recent years, the Company has expanded its operation scale following the increasing market of the construction machinery industry. Therefore, the Company has a higher requirement of capital in raw material procurement and R&D. The Proposed Non-public Issuance will further satisfy the capital requirement of the Company in expanding core business.

  1. To optimise the capital structure and enhance sustainable profitability of the Company

Construction machinery industry is a high-end equipment manufacturing industry with extremely high requirement of investment size and technology level. It is a typical capital- and technology-intensive industry. Besides, it is the practice for the construction machinery companies to provide certain credit period to downstream customers, and therefore substantial liquidity is required to support daily operation. The Proposed Non-public Issuance can not only replenish the liquidity, reduce financial burden and optimise the capital structure of the Company, but also improve risk tolerance and improve the profitability of the Company.

APPENDIX I

FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS REPORT ON THE USE OF

PROCEEDS OF THE PROPOSED NON-PUBLIC ISSUANCE

2. Feasibility of the project

The use of proceeds for liquidity replenishment is compliant with the relevant laws, regulations and policy as well as the liquidity requirement under the Regulatory Q&A - Regulatory Requirements Governing the Fundraising of Listing Companies (Revised). Therefore, the plan is practicable and feasible.

The use of proceeds for liquidity replenishment is in line with the current status of the industry and relevant policies, and therefore, the plan is feasible. The proceeds, upon receipt, can help to meet the capital requirements of the Company, optimise its financial structure and improve profitability and competitiveness of the Company, which in turn is of the interest of the Shareholders as a whole.

3. Effect of the Proposed Non-public Issuance on the operation, management and financial position of the Company

  1. Effect of the Proposed Non-public Issuance on the operation and management of the Company

The proceeds of the Proposed Non-public Issuance is mainly used for the construction machinery intelligent manufacturing project, the key components intelligent manufacturing project and the intelligent manufacturing project of key hydraulic parts (hydraulic valves). Upon completion of the projects and their commencement in production, the competitiveness and performance of the products of the Company will be improved while the production costs can be lowered. In addition, the R&D of system management can be enhanced which in turn can strengthen the R&D capability of the Company, upgrade product, reinforce the leading position and secure sustainable development of the Company.

  1. Effect of the Proposed Non-public Issuance on the financial position of the Company

Upon completion of the Proposed Non-public Issuance, the total current assets and total net asset of the Company will both increase while the gearing ratio will decrease. Pressure on working capital will be effectively relieved. Since the liquidity and solvency will be improved, the capital structure and risk tolerance of the Company will also be improved and strengthened.

  1. Effect of the Proposed Non-public Issuance on the returns of the current period

Upon completion of the Proposed Non-public Issuance, the total share capital of the Company will increase. Since it will take a certain period of time for the Company to realise the operating income from the projects to be funded by the proceeds, the earning per Share is likely to be diluted in the short term. In order to recover the shareholders' return, the Company intends to improve asset quality and achieve sustainable development of the Company through speeding up the investment of the concerned projects, strengthening the management of the proceeds of the Proposed Non-public Issuance, improving corporate governance, refining and strictly executing the profit allocation policy and optimising mechanism of shareholders' return.

2. The risk alert for the dilution of returns for the current period due to the Proposed Non-public Issuance

After completion of the Proposed Non-public Issuance, the size of the total share capital and net assets of the Company will be increased accordingly. Since a certain period of time is required for the preparation and implementation of the investment projects to which the fund raising relates, the financial indicators such as return on net assets and earnings per A Share may reduce to a certain extent in the short run. Investors are reminded that there is a risk of the dilution of returns to the Shareholders for the current period.

In the medium and long run, as those projects will be progressively completed and will then generate income, the continual profitability of the Company will be further enhanced. It is expected that the earnings per A Share and return on net assets will be gradually increased.

3. Necessity and rationality of the Proposed Non-public Issuance

The management team has accumulated experience in the course of a series of acquisitions, and through which it has derived five principles for successful acquisitions: "Tolerance, Responsibility, Regulation, Co-creation and Sharing". The corporate culture of the Company has allowed the merged companies to smoothly integrate into the management system of the Company and attracted abundant outstanding and experienced talents and experts, successfully solving the management problems after the acquisitions. Especially in the course of foreign acquisitions and resource integration, the Company insisted on the leading role of its corporate culture, seized the strategic control, intensified coordination and exploration so as to implement the principles of "leadership, intensification and penetration".

Forward-looking strategic decisions reflect the strategic views and insights of corporate managers.
