LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, CIMC is a controlling shareholder of the Company indirectly holding approximately 68.2% of the Shares and is therefore a connected person of the Company. As CIMC Finance is a non-wholly owned subsidiary of CIMC and therefore is an associate of CIMC, CIMC Finance is also a connected person of the Company.

As the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the annual caps for the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019) (except the Deposit Services and the Loan Services), on an annual basis, are less than 0.1% and the transactions in relation to the Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019) (except the Deposit Services and the Loan Services) are on normal commercial terms and terms that are no less favourable to the Group than those of Independent Third Parties, such continuing connected transactions are exempt from reporting, announcement, annual review, circular (including independent financial advice) and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

Partially-exempt continuing connected transactions

As the applicable percentage ratios in respect of the Proposed Deposit Annual Caps for the Deposit Services contemplated under the Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019); and the annual caps for the continuing connected transactions contemplated under each of (i) the Master Sales Agreement (2019), (ii) the Master Processing Services Agreement (2019), (iii) the Master Procurement Agreement (2019) and (iv) the Master Subcontracting Services Agreement (2019) are more than 0.1% but less than 5%, the continuing connected transactions thereunder are subject to the reporting, announcement and annual review requirements and are exempt from the circular (including independent financial advice) and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

  1. Proposed annual caps and basis for proposed annual caps:
    The Proposed Deposit Annual Caps for the three years ending 31 December 2022 under the Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019) are set out below:

419,000,000

The Proposed Deposit Annual Caps have been determined with reference to the Group's historical maximum daily outstanding balance of deposits placed with CIMC Finance, the business forecast of the Group, the estimated cash flow and the estimated level of cash to be deposited with CIMC Finance to facilitate settlement of accounts with members of the Group and the CIMC Group. The Proposed Deposit Annual Caps reduced due to lower demands estimated for the Deposit Services from CIMC Finance.

  1. Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019):
    The Group requires cash deposit services, loan services and other financial services in its ordinary course of business which are currently also provided by independent commercial banks and/or financial institutions. Since the Deposit Services, Loan Services and other financial services offered by CIMC Finance contemplated under the Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019) will be of terms no less favourable to the Group than those offered by independent commercial banks and/ or financial institutions in the PRC, this represents cost savings to the Group by reducing the amount of finance fees and charges payable. The financial services to be provided by CIMC Finance under the Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019) are also diversified and can meet the business needs of the Group.
    With CIMC Finance being a member of the CIMC Group, the Group is expected to benefit from CIMC Finance's better understanding of the operation and business needs of the Group which will allow more expedient and efficient services than those rendered by independent commercial banks and/or financial institutions. For instance, it is expected that the time required for CIMC Finance to examine and approve loans and/or guarantees to be provided to the Group will be shorter than that required by independent commercial banks and/or financial institutions. The dual functions of CIMC Finance in deposit taking from, and lending to, the members of the Group may also facilitate the allocation of financial resources from members of the Group with surplus deposits to members of the Group who are borrowers. CIMC Finance also acts as the central clearing house within the

- 8 -

CIMC Group (including members of the Group) which facilitates the settlement of accounts between members of the Group as well as with other members of CIMC Group.

Furthermore, any risk of the Group associated with the placing of deposits with CIMC Finance will be minimised by the guarantees provided by CIMC as set out in the section headed "II. The Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019) - A. Principal terms - Undertakings by CIMC".

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believe that

    1. the terms of the Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019) and the continuing connected transactions contemplated thereunder are in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms and no less favourable to the Group than those of Independent Third Parties; and (ii) the terms of the Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019), the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019) and the Proposed Deposit Annual Caps are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
  1. Internal control measures:

  2. To ensure that the terms of the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019) are on normal commercial terms, and on terms no less favourable to the Group than those offered by independent commercial banks and/or financial institutions in the PRC, the Group has adopted the following internal control measures to monitor the transactions contemplated under the Financial Services Framework Agreement (2019) and to ensure that the transaction are conducted in accordance with the terms thereof:
    The Group's finance department has adopted a sound internal audit system and a comprehensive financial management system. The Group's finance department will monitor the maximum daily outstanding balance of the deposits to ensure that the aggregate deposits do not exceed the applicable annual caps. The Group will also maintain bank accounts with independent commercial banks and/or financial institutes. If the balance at the end of any day exceeds the maximum daily balance of deposits, the excess funds will be transferred to the designated bank accounts with an independent commercial bank and/or financial institutes.

- 9 -

Prior to drawing any loan or obtaining any financial services of substantial fees or charges from CIMC Finance, the Group will obtain quotations from independent commercial banks and/or financial institutes for such loan or financial services of similar nature and under similar terms. The Group will enter into the transaction if it believes that the terms of the transaction are no less favourable to the terms available to the Group from other independent commercial banks and/or financial institutes.

The Group will request CIMC Finance to provide information including various financial indicators, such as its asset size at the end of every quarter as well as annual and interim financial statements to enable the Group to monitor and review CIMC Finance's financial condition. If the Group considers that there is any material adverse change in the financial condition of CIMC Finance, the Group will take appropriate measures (including early uplift of deposits and a moratorium on further deposits) to protect the Group's financial position. The Group will, from time to time at our sole discretion, request for the deposits with CIMC Finance to be withdrawn (either in full or in part) to assess and ensure the liquidity and safety of the deposits.

  1. THE MASTER SALES AGREEMENT (2019) A. Principal terms

Date

:

31 December 2019

Parties

:

1.

the Company (as services provider); and

2.

CIMC (as service user)

Subject matter:

Sale of products for storage, transportation and processing in the fields of clean energy, chemical and environmental and liquid food, spare parts and raw materials for production, as well as components for construction projects (including but not limited to natural gas refueling stations and related equipment, natural gas refueling station trailers, CNG seamless pressure cylinders, CNG trailers, natural gas compressors, LNG trailers and tanks, on-vehicle LNG fuel tanks, cryogenic liquefied gas tanks, compressed specialised gas trailers, tank containers for chemical liquids, liquefied gas and cryogenic liquids, and stainless steel processing, storage tanks for liquid food, vehicle chassis, vehicle platforms, operating system, steel and waste and surplus materials) by the Group to the CIMC Group for a period of three years commencing on 1 January 2020 and expiring on 31 December 2022.

- 10 -

The sale of the products by the Group to the CIMC Group is for the purposes of (i) enabling the CIMC Group to provide finance leases to the Sales Customers (who are customers of the Group that require finance leases to purchase the products and are referred by the Group to the CIMC Group for that purpose) and/or (ii) the CIMC Group's own manufacturing and business operations.

Pricing basis and policy:

The relevant member(s) of the Group and the relevant member(s) of the CIMC Group will enter into separate contract(s) with respect to the individual transactions contemplated under the Master Sales Agreement (2019) in accordance with the principal terms set out therein. In particular, in case where products of the Group are sold to the CIMC Group for the purpose of enabling the latter to provide finance leases to the Sales Customers, separate tripartite contracts will be entered into among the Sales Customer, the relevant member(s) of the Group and of the CIMC Group, under which the relevant member(s) of the CIMC Group will covenant to pay for the products to be provided by the relevant member(s) of the Group.

The terms, including the payment terms, will be determined on a transaction-by- transaction basis, and on normal commercial terms, or on terms no less favorable to the Group than terms available to Independent Third Parties.

The price of the products contemplated under the Master Sales Agreement (2019) will be determined in accordance with the estimated cost to be incurred in providing the relevant products (including the estimated cost of raw materials, depreciation of premises/building/equipment used in producing the products, the costs of labour, other incidental costs and the relevant taxes) plus an appropriate profit margin, to be agreed between the Group and the CIMC Group with reference to the profit margin obtained by the Group when the same type of products are provided by the Group to the Independent Third Parties and the price offered by the Group's counterparts to their customers for the same type of products at or near the same area in the ordinary course of business and on normal commercial terms. The Group maintains a minimum target gross profit margin for all products on the Product Price List (as defined below in the section headed "E. Internal control measures"), which is equally applicable for sales to both the CIMC Group and Independent Third Parties when negotiating prices.

Regarding the sale of products to the CIMC Group for the purpose of enabling it to provide finance leases to the Sales Customers, within 10 days following the entering into of a tripartite contract for each individual transaction among the Sales Customers, the relevant member(s) of the CIMC Group and of the Group, the CIMC Group will pay 10% of the consideration thereunder as deposit to the Group. The balance of the consideration will be paid within 30 days from the date of acknowledgement of receipt of the products by the CIMC Group or the relevant

- 11 -

Sales Customers. Upon the entering into each tripartite individual contract, in line with the usual terms of the contracts between the Group and Independent Third Parties, the Group will provide a one-year quality guarantee to the Sales Customer during which the Group will provide free repair and maintenance services to the Sales Customer.

The annual caps were approved by the then independent shareholders of the Company in an extraordinary general meeting held on 14 February 2017.

The historical transaction amounts respectively for the two years ended 31 December 2018 and the six-month period ended 30 June 2019 was significantly lower than the projected amounts for the corresponding years as some customers selected to purchase the Groups' products directly and/or through financing provided by other financial institutions.

It is expected that the actual transaction amount for the year ending 31 December 2019 will not exceed the proposed annual cap for the corresponding year.

380,000,000

The proposed annual caps are determined based on the historical transaction amounts under the Master Sales Agreement (2016), the estimated investment in the natural gas equipment to cater for the projected growth in natural gas consumption in China, the expected growth in different business segments of the Group, the expected growth of CIMC Group's business, the projected number of products to be sold to the CIMC Group (both for providing finance leases to the Sales Customers and for CIMC Group's own manufacturing and business operations) and the forecast in market price of the products (including the forecast increase in the selling price due to inflation).

  1. Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Master Sales Agreement (2019)

    1. The entering into of the Master Sales Agreement (2019) can help maintain an additional source of revenue for the Group. The Master Sales Agreement (2019) also facilitates Sales Customers in financing their purchase of the Group's products. Since the Group does not provide any finance leasing services, Sales Customers of the Group who may have difficulties in obtaining financing from independent commercial banks or financial institutions may require finance leasing services provided by the CIMC Group in purchasing the Group's products. Pursuant to the Master Sales Agreement (2019), the Group may refer Sales Customers to the CIMC Group to arrange such finance leases for Sales Customers to pay for the purchase of products. The Master Sales Agreement (2019) will thus enable the Group to retain customers who otherwise might not have the financial resources to purchase the Group's products and thereby increase the Group's revenue.
      The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believe that
    2. the terms of the Master Sales Agreement (2019) and the continuing connected transactions thereunder are in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms and no less favourable to the Group than those of Independent Third Parties; and (ii) the terms of the Master Sales Agreement (2019), the continuing connected transactions thereunder and the relevant proposed annual caps are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
      • 13 -
  1. Internal control measures:
    To ensure that the terms of the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Master Sales Agreement (2019) are on normal commercial terms, and on terms no less favourable to the Group than terms available to Independent Third Parties, the Group has adopted the following internal control measures to monitor the transactions contemplated under the Master Sales Agreement (2019) and to ensure that the transactions are conducted in accordance with the terms thereof:
    The Group's sales department maintains a price list of the Group's products (the "Product Price List"). The Product Price List is compiled based on (i) the estimated production cost (determined taking into account factors including the estimated cost of raw materials, depreciation of premises/building/equipment used in production, the labour cost, incidental production costs and the relevant taxes); and (ii) appropriate profit margin to be determined by the Group with reference to the profit margin obtained by the Group when the same type of products are provided by the Group to the Independent Third Parties and the price offered by the Group's counterparts to their customers for the same type of products at or near the same area in the ordinary course of business and on normal commercial terms. The Group maintains a minimum target gross profit margin for all products on the Product Price List, which is equally applicable for sales to both the CIMC Group and Independent Third Parties when negotiating prices.
    Records of products supplied by the Group to all customers (i.e. including the CIMC Group and Independent Third Parties), which include information relating to identity of the customer, nature of the transaction and transaction amount will be maintained by the Group's sales department. The finance department of the Group will also keep detailed records of the actual production cost of products supplied by the Group to all customers (i.e. including the CIMC Group and Independent Third Parties) and the corresponding profit margin. The Group's sales department is also responsible for keeping track of the price offered by industry counterparts for similar type of products. The senior management of the Group will review and adjust the Product Price List from time to time with reference to such records, as well as prices offered by the Group's counterparts for the same type of products in the market (if any).
    In addition, each member of the Group will report their respective transaction amounts and details as contemplated under the Master Sales Agreement (2019) at the end of each month to the Group's finance department. The Group's finance department will then on a monthly basis consolidate the transaction details and the total transaction amounts, so as to monitor the Group's total transaction amounts to ensure the proposed annual caps will not be exceeded.

The proposed annual caps are determined based on the historical transaction amounts under the Master Processing Services Agreement (2016), the expected sales volume growth of the Group's products that will require processing services during their production process and the expected growth in market prices due to inflation.

  1. Reasons for and benefits of entering into the Master Processing Services Agreement (2019):
    The Group would from time to time require processing services to be performed on their raw materials and semi-finished products. As some of the members of the CIMC Group are located in close proximity to the Group's subsidiaries, they can offer reliable processing services to the Group on a timely basis. The transactions contemplated under the Master Processing Services Agreement (2019) ensure the supply of reliable processing services on a timely basis to support the growth of the Group's business. In addition, the Group is able to enjoy handling and transportation cost savings as a result of close proximity of the production facilities of the Group and the CIMC Group.
    The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) believe that (i) the terms of the Master Processing Services Agreement (2019) and the continuing connected transactions thereunder are in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, on normal commercial terms and no less favourable to the Group than those of Independent Third Parties, and (ii) the terms of the Master Processing Services Agreement (2019), the continuing connected transactions thereunder and the relevant proposed annual caps are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

- 17 -

  1. Internal control measures:
    To ensure that the terms of the continuing connected transactions contemplated under the Master Processing Services Agreement (2019) are on normal commercial terms, and on terms no less favourable to the Group than terms available from Independent Third Parties, the Group has adopted the following internal control measures to monitor the transactions contemplated under the Master Processing Services Agreement (2019) and to ensure that the transactions are conducted in accordance with the terms thereof.
    The production department of the Group is primarily responsible for the production planning and assessing the requirements for processing services. Prior to entering into any separate contracts with the CIMC Group and upon receiving the quotation from the CIMC Group for such processing service, the production department will ascertain the relevant market price by obtaining quotations from Independent Third Parties for the same or similar service (if available). The Group will obtain such quotations through direct enquiries from established service providers in the area in which the relevant member(s) of the Group requiring such services are located.
    The finance and the production departments will compare the quotations and terms supplied by the CIMC Group with those obtained from Independent Third Parties. The terms will be assessed based on the price, quality, or other selection criteria (depending on the specific requirements, if any) of the services. The two aforementioned departments will also consider the corporate background of the counterparty, its reputation and reliability, its ability to conduct the transaction in accordance with the terms of the contract, and at the same time reduce the Group's time and costs of transaction. The pricing terms will be reviewed by the finance department and approved by the senior management.
    In case where there is no relevant market price, the finance department of the Group will compare the pricing terms supplied by the CIMC Group with reference to the estimated cost to be incurred in providing the relevant services (including the estimated cost of labour, the depreciation of premises/building/equipment used for the services, other incidental costs and the relevant taxes) plus a gross profit margin of approximately 5% to be fixed by the Group and the CIMC Group with reference to the restriction on relevant fees chargeable imposed by the State Administration of Taxation of the PRC (if applicable) and the profit margin obtained by Independent Third Parties when providing similar type of services in the ordinary course of business and on normal commercial terms. The finance department of the Group will obtain relevant information to ascertain the relevant gross profit margin obtained by such Independent Third Parties. The pricing terms will be sent to the senior management for approval.
    In addition, each member of the Group will report their respective transaction amounts and details as contemplated under the Master Processing Services Agreement (2019) at the end of each month to the Group's finance department. The Group's finance department will then on a monthly basis consolidate the transaction details and the total transaction amounts, so as to monitor the Group's total transaction amounts to ensure the proposed annual caps will not be exceeded.

Pricing basis and policy:

The relevant member(s) of the Group and the relevant member(s) of the CIMC Group will enter into separate contract(s) with respect to the individual transactions contemplated under the Master Subcontracting Services Agreement (2019) in accordance with the principal terms set out therein.

The Group will obtain such quotations through direct enquiries from established suppliers of scale at or near the same area or through tenders.
