IN RELATION TO
THE DISPOSAL OF 10% EQUITY INTEREST IN

THE DISPOSAL
The Board announces that on 21 June 2019 (after trading hours of the Stock Exchange), Allied Best (China), being an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into the Disposal Agreement with CIMC Investment, pursuant to which Allied Best (China) has conditionally agreed to dispose of and CIMC Investment has conditionally agreed to acquire the Sale Capital in Huijie at a nominal consideration. As Allied Best (China) has not made its capital contribution of RMB10,000,000 to the registered capital of RMB100,000,000 of Huijie as at the date of the Disposal Agreement, CIMC Investment shall assume the obligation of Allied Best (China) to contribute RMB10,000,000 to the registered capital of Huijie upon completion of the Disposal Agreement.
As at the date of this announcement, Huijie is owned as to 40% by CIMC Investment, 25% by CIMC Technology, 10% by Enric Shenzhen, 15% by Shenzhen Shangyi and 10% by Allied Best (China). Upon Completion, Allied Best (China) shall cease to hold any interest in Huijie and shall no longer be obliged to contribute RMB10,000,000 to the registered capital of Huijie.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
CIMC Investment is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CIMC, which is the controlling shareholder of the Company, and hence a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction on the part of the Company.
As all the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the
1
Disposal exceed 0.1% but are less than 5%, the Disposal is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but exempted from the circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
Completion is subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set out in the Disposal Agreement and therefore the Disposal may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

Huijie is principally engaged in the provision of procurement services. As at the date of this announcement, Allied Best (China) has not made its capital contribution of RMB10,000,000 to the registered capital of Huijie. Upon Completion, Allied Best (China) shall no longer be obliged to contribute RMB10,000,000 to the registered capital of Huijie, which in turn will enable the Company to better allocate its financial resources on the development of its core businesses. Hence, the Directors consider that the Disposal would further enhance the development of the Group's core businesses, including but not limited to the manufacture of fire engines, fire prevention and fighting equipment in the PRC, by focusing more resources on its development.
Based on the above factors, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the entering into of the Disposal Agreement and the terms of the Disposal, including the consideration, are on normal commercial terms, fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.
FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE DISPOSAL AND USE OF PROCEEDS
The Group is not expected to record any material gain or loss in connection with the Disposal. The actual financial impact in connection with the Disposal will be assessed after Completion and is subject to audit. The proceeds from the Disposal will be retained as internal resources of the Group.
Upon Completion, Allied Best (China) shall cease to hold any interest in the Disposal Group and the Disposal Group shall also cease to be accounted for as associated companies of the Group. Upon Completion, Allied Best (China) shall no longer be obliged to contribute RMB10,000,000 to the registered capital of Huijie.
LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS
CIMC Investment is a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of CIMC, which is the controlling shareholder of the Company, and hence a connected person of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, the Disposal constitutes a connected transaction on the part of the Company.
As all the applicable percentage ratios (as defined in the Listing Rules) in respect of the Disposal exceed 0.1% but are less than 5%, the Disposal is subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but exempted from the circular and independent shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
Save for Dr. Li Yin Hui, Mr. Zheng Zu Hua, Mr. Luan You Jun and Mr. Yu Yu Qun, who are the Directors nominated by CIMC and have therefore abstained from voting on the relevant resolution(s) of the Board approving the Disposal, none of the other Directors has material interest in the Disposal and is required to abstain from voting on the relevant resolution(s).
Completion is subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set out in the Disposal Agreement and therefore the Disposal may or may not proceed. Shareholders and potential investors of the Company are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.
