Profit distribution plan for the year 2020

According to the Articles of Association, an ordinary resolution will be proposed by the Board at the AGM to approve the profit distribution plan of the Company.

According to the Articles of Association, the profit distribution policy of the Company was implemented based on the lesser of the after-tax profits in the two financial statements which were prepared under PRC accounting standards and international accounting standards, respectively. In addition, according to the dividend policy adopted by the Company, subject to the relevant laws and regulations of the PRC and Hong Kong and relevant factors, and in absence of any adverse circumstances which might reduce the profits that are distributable whether by losses or otherwise, the Company will distribute 30% to 50% of its profit for the year to its Shareholders as distribution of annual dividends in a financial year.

As audited in the year 2020, the profit attributable to Shareholders of the Company for the year 2020 amounted to RMB17,509,510.99. The Board recommended a payment of final dividend of RMB0.05 (inclusive of tax) per Share for the year 2020 to the Shareholders as of the record date for payment of dividend (the record date). The final dividend distribution ratio for the year was determined after taking into consideration of various factors such as the operation performance for the year 2020. In the future, the Company will continue to take into consideration the results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, operating and capital expenditure requirements, distributable profits as determined under PRC accounting standards or international accounting standards (whichever is lower), the Articles of Association, the PRC Company Law and any other applicable PRC law and regulations and other factors that the Board may consider relevant. Also, a decision to declare or to pay any dividends shall be subject to the principle that the normal operation of the Group will not be affected.

The profit distribution plan has been approved by the Board in the Board meeting held on March 26, 2021.

- 6 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

If the proposed profit distribution plan is approved by the Shareholders at the AGM, the distributable dividends will be distributed on or around August 3, 2021 in cash to the Shareholders which appear in the register of the Company on June 21, 2021 (i.e. the record date). The cash dividend for the year 2020 shall be denominated and declared in RMB on the basis of RMB0.05 (inclusive of tax) per Share. The dividends shall be paid by the Company to the holders of the Shares in RMB or Hong Kong dollars but denominated in RMB. The exchange rate of RMB into Hong Kong dollar shall be calculated based on the mean of the exchange rates of Hong Kong dollar to RMB as published by the PBOC during the five working days from and inclusive of the date on which the AGM of the Company is convened.

The register of members of the Company in respect of the H Shares will be closed from June 17, 2021 to June 21, 2021 (both days inclusive). In order to qualify for receiving the dividend, holders of H Shares must lodge the transfer documents accompanied by the relevant share certificates with the H Share Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at Shops 1712-1716, 17th Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, no later than 4:30 p.m. on June 16, 2021.

Matters in relation to the proposed final dividend and income tax withheld in respect of dividends to be received by overseas non-resident individual/enterprise Shareholders:

Non-resident enterprise Shareholders

Pursuant to the PRC Enterprise Income Tax Law and its relevant implementation ordinances, the enterprise income tax shall be withheld for payment at the rate of 10% for non-resident enterprise Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members of the Company in respect of H Shares. Any H Shares registered in the name of non-individual Shareholders, including HKSCC Nominees Limited, other nominees or trustees, or other organizations or groups, will be treated as Shares being held by non-resident enterprise Shareholders, and consequently the dividends payable on such shares will be subject to the withholding of the enterprise income tax.

Non-resident individual Shareholders

According to the PRC Individual Income Tax Law, the PRC Regulations for Implementation of the Individual Income Tax Law and other relevant laws and regulations, the Company is required to withhold non-resident individual income tax for non-resident individual holders of H Shares. However, the Notice of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation on Certain Policies Regarding Individual Income Tax (《財政部、 國家稅務總局關於個人所得稅若干政策問題的通知》) which has taken effect since May 13, 1994 (the "1994 Notice") grants an exemption to foreign individuals from PRC individual income tax on dividend from foreign-invested enterprises. Since the Company has obtained the record-filing receipt for the incorporation of foreign-invested enterprises and has completed the registration processes with relevant industrial and commercial administration in November 2018, the Company is a foreign-invested enterprise and so the non-resident individual holders of H Shares whose names appear on the register of members of the Company in respect of H

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Shares are not required to pay PRC individual income tax when the Company distributes the 2020 final dividend based on the 1994 Notice. Therefore, the Company will not withhold any amount of the 2020 final dividend to be distributed to the non-resident individual holders of H Shares to pay the PRC individual income tax.

The Company will, based on the registered address of individual holders of H Shares recorded in the register of members of the Company in respect of H Shares on June 21, 2021, determine their residency. Where the residency of any individual holders of H Shares is inconsistent with their registered address, they shall notify and submit the relevant proof to the H Share Registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited at 17M Floor, Hopewell Centre, 183 Queen's Road East, Wanchai, Hong Kong, before 4:30 p.m. on June 16, 2021. The Company disclaims any responsibility arising from any claims due to holders of H Shares of the Company whose residency are not confirmed timely or accurately or any disputes with regard to the tax withholding systems.

According to the Articles of Association, an ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to consider and approve the above profit distribution plan and the final dividend for the year 2020 shall be declared according to the amounts and manners proposed by the Board.

Remuneration plan for Directors for the year 2021

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to consider and approve the remuneration plan for the Directors for the year ending December 31, 2021 formulated in accordance with the Company's internal policies and relevant regulatory requirements.

Remuneration plan for Supervisors for the year 2021

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to consider and approve the remuneration plan for the Supervisors for the year ending December 31, 2021 formulated in accordance with the Company's internal policies and relevant regulatory requirements.

Re-appointment of KPMG as the Company's auditors for the year 2021

An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to consider and approve the re-appointment of KPMG as the Company's auditors for 2021 for a term until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company, and to authorize the Board to determine its remuneration.

The "14th Five-Year" strategic development plan of the Company

In order to have an identified development direction, the Company has prepared a strategic development plan for the next five years. Details of the plan are set forth in Appendix I of this circular. The plan shall come into effect upon the approval of the relevant ordinary resolution by the Shareholders at the AGM.

The proposed amendments to the rules of procedures of the Board meeting have been approved by the Board in the Board meeting held on March 26, 2021 and the Board considered that such amendments are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

Please refer to the paragraph headed "Special Resolutions - Proposed amendments to the Articles of Association" of this circular for details. The proposed amendments of the rules of procedures of the general meeting are set forth in Appendix III of this circular.

The proposed amendments to the rules of procedures of the general meeting have been approved by the Board in the Board meeting held on March 26, 2021 and the Board considered that such amendments are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders. An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the AGM to seek for approval of the proposed amendments of the rules of procedures of the general meeting.

SPECIAL RESOLUTIONS

Proposed amendments to the Articles of Association

Based on the completion of the H share "full circulation" of the Company and the regulatory provisions and related requirements of the Company Law of the PRC, in line with the principles of prudence, appropriateness and necessity, the Board proposed to make amendments to the Articles of Association after taking into account the actual situation and operation and development needs of the Company. The proposed amendments of the Articles of Association are set forth in Appendix IV of this circular.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The proposed amendments to the Articles of Association have been approved by the Board in the Board meeting held on March 26, 2021 and the Board considered that such amendments are in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders. A special resolution will be proposed at the AGM to seek for approval of the proposed amendments of the Articles of Association.

General mandate to the Board to issue additional H Shares

A special resolution will be proposed at the AGM that the Board be granted the Issue Mandate to exercise the power of the Company to allot, issue or otherwise deal with new H Shares (otherwise than pursuant to the issue of H Shares by conversion of the surplus reserve into the share capital in accordance with the PRC Company Law and the Articles of Association) not more than 20% of the number of H Shares in issue as of the date of passing this special resolution, and to authorize the Board to make amendments to the Articles of Association as it thinks fit so as to reflect the new share capital structure upon the allotment or issue of additional H Shares pursuant to such mandate.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, the Company had 159,920,907 H Shares in issue. Assuming that the number of H Shares remains unchanged as at the date of passing this special resolution, the Board will be allowed under the Issue Mandate to issue a maximum of 31,984,181 H Shares, subject to the passing of the special resolution approving the grant of the Issue Mandate to the Board. Meanwhile, the Board is authorized to make necessary amendments to the Articles of Association so as to reflect the new share capital structure upon the allotment or issue of additional H Shares pursuant to such mandate.

The Directors believe that it is in the best interests of the Company and the Shareholders to grant the Issue Mandate to the Board to issue new H Shares. Whilst it is not possible to anticipate in advance any specific circumstances in which the Board might think it appropriate to issue H Shares, the ability to do so would give the Directors the flexibility to capture the opportunity if it so arises.

The Issue Mandate would expire on the earlier of: (a) the conclusion of the next annual general meeting following the passing of this special resolution; (b) the expiration of 12 months after the passing of this special resolution; or (c) the date on which the authorization set out in this special resolution are revoked or amended by a special resolution in a general meeting of the Company.

THE AGM

The Company will convene the AGM at 10 a.m. on June 10, 2021 (Thursday) at meeting room, 3/F, No. 35 Haibinba Road, Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone, Tianjin City, the PRC to consider and, if thought fit, to pass resolutions in respect of the matters set out in the notice of the AGM. A form of proxy has been despatched to the Shareholders in accordance with the Listing Rules on April 23, 2021. The notice of the AGM is set out on pages 42 to 45 of this circular.

APPENDIX I "14TH FIVE-YEAR" STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE COMPANY

In order to have an identified development direction, the Company has prepared a strategic development plan for the next five years, the main details of which are as follows:

STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF TIANJIN TIANBAO ENERGY CO., LTD. DURING THE "14TH FIVE-YEAR PLAN" PERIOD

  1. Introduction

The Group was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in April 2018. The "14th Five-Year" period is the first complete five years that the Group will experience since its listing, and the preparation of the strategic development plan for the coming five years is of vital importance for the future development of the Group. This strategic development plan is prepared by drawing on the development experience and lessons gained during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, by taking into full consideration the internal and external environmental factors that the Group may face in its development in the coming five years, and with regard to the characteristics of the Group's businesses.

As a programmatic document for development in the coming five years, the strategic development plan points out the problems faced by the Group for its development, proposes the strategic positioning of the future development of the Group, clarifies the main tasks for the coming five years, and standardizes the measures for its implementation.

  1. Analysis of Development Environment

During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the Group will face a more complicated external environment and undergo industry adjustments. The Group shall, after a full analysis of the internal and external environment and its own situation, adjust its strategies timely to seize opportunities and rise to challenges in the course of development.

  1. Analysis of international situation

84% of global greenhouse gas emissions comes from fossil fuels, and the global average surface temperature has risen by 1.2 degrees Celsius since the industrial revolution. At this rate, the global average surface temperature will exceed the threshold of two degrees Celsius, bringing irreversible disasters. Climate change has become a global safety concern. Currently more than 30 countries and regions around the world have introduced coal abandonment polices, and the trend of coal abandonment becomes irreversible.

At the same time, advances in energy technologies have greatly facilitated the transformation of the global energy structure. Over the past decade, the cost of generating electricity from renewable sources has fallen dramatically, which is conducive to replacing fossil fuels such as coal rapidly.

APPENDIX I "14TH FIVE-YEAR" STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE COMPANY

(ii) Analysis of domestic situation

1. Carbon policy analysis

After fulfilling the voluntary carbon intensity-related commitment regarding China's emission in 2020, China commits to "reaching peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and carbon neutral by 2060" and "by 2030, China's CO2 emissions per unit GDP will decrease by over 65% than in 2005". To reach the peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, the State Grid Corporation of China issued the Action Plan of State Grid Corporation of China for Peak Carbon Dioxide Emissions and Carbon Neutral (《國家電網公司"碳達峰、碳中和"行動方 案》) on March 1, 2021, which proposes to construct a diversified clean energy supply system on the energy supply side, vigorously develop clean energy, and speed up the upgrading of coal power flexibility. This move indicates that installed-capacity of coal-fired plants will further decline.

The report on the work of the People's Government of Tianjin Municipality for 2021 makes it explicit that the government will "act faster to carry out peak carbon dioxide emissions". The government will formulate and implement an action plan for peak carbon dioxide emissions, make continuous adjustments and improvements to industrial structure and energy structure, propel key industries such as the steel industry to take the lead in reaching the peak and the coal industry to reach the coal consumption peak as early as possible, vigorously develop renewable energy, and push the development and application of green technologies. The government will contact the national trading market of carbon emissions rights, improve the dual control system of energy consumption, coordinate efforts to promote pollution and carbon reductions, implement double control over industrial pollution emissions, and push forward industrial green transformation.

2. Abundant potential for the development of clean energy

After years of development, China has realized substantial achievements in energy transition. According to the white paper "Energy in China's New Era" published in December 2020, China's total installed capacity of renewable energy power generation was 790 million kilowatts at the end of 2019, accounting for approximately 30% of the total global installed capacity of renewable energy power generation. The installed capacity of hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic power generation and biomass power generation ranks first in the world. However, the speed and quality of clean energy development in China should be improved. In 2019, the proportion of clean energy in primary energy in China was far lower than that in Europe and the United States. China's new energy needs are still mainly met by fossil fuels instead of clean energy.

In China's current energy structure, the proportion of clean energy increases year by year, and clean energy will be an important subject during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. The National Energy Administration expresses that it is the goal and task to expand the clean energy industry as set forth in the 14th Five-Year Plan. The State Grid Corporation of China proposes the important judgment of achieving "two 50%" by 2050, that is, "by 2050 China's energy

- 14 -

APPENDIX I "14TH FIVE-YEAR" STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE COMPANY

cleaning rate (proportion of non-fossil energy in primary energy) will reach 50% and the terminal electrification rate (the proportion of electricity in end-use energy consumption) will reach 50%". According to the development strategy goal of China's energy transition, the proportion of non-fossil energy will reach 20%-25% by 2030 and over 50% by 2050.

(iii) Competitiveness analysis

When compared with its peers in the same industry, the Group, as a regional energy supplier, has a small production scale and limited business coverage and thus has a greater room for growth in asset size, operating income, etc. Under the trend of efficient and intelligent production of the energy industry, the Group needs to adjust its business structure and intensify efforts to develop and operate new businesses, actively implement the "going global" strategy and expand the service area outward, increase capital operations such as M&As, increase its size, and improve its operational efficiency and profitability.

The Group's strengths are its technical qualifications and experienced technical personnel and business management teams.

The Group's disadvantages include too small a scale that affects capital operation and a large proportion of traditional businesses that lead to insufficient expansion of the clean energy business.

The external opportunities for the future development of the Group include tremendous potential for the development of clean energy and for the Group's own development.

External threats to the Group's future development include the restricted operation of coal-fired power plants resulting from the carbon emission policy and a continuing reduction in electricity prices affecting the Group's profits.

III. Development Strategy and Guiding Ideology

  1. Strategic positioning and description of the Group
    Strategic positioning: an integrated energy service provider in the park.

Strategic description: The Group utilizes a combination of clean energy and renewable energy including solar energy, air energy, hydroenergy, geothermal energy and natural gas, and provides comprehensive energy solutions that integrate electricity, heat, cold, steam and other kinds of energy, to meet the needs of customers in the park and boost regional development.

The Group's mission: to provide clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy security.

- 15 -

APPENDIX I "14TH FIVE-YEAR" STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE COMPANY

(ii) Guiding ideology of the Group's development

Guided by Xi Jinping's Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the Group thoroughly implements the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the CPC and the second, third, fourth and fifth plenary sessions of the 19th CPC Central Committee, fully puts into practice Xi Jinping's thought on ecological civilization, and fosters and improves the green and low-carbon operation philosophy featuring circular development, to achieve the goals of peak carbon dioxide emissions and carbon neutral. Adhering to the transition to market economy and always using the development experience in maintaining stability while seeking goodness and speed, the Group realizes the preservation and appreciation of state-owned capital, enhances the core competitiveness in an all-round way, explores new development models, improves the efficiency of the Group, promotes the sound, sustainable and innovative development of the Group, and pushes the Group's high-quality development to a new level.

(iii) Development goal

The Group actively grasps the opportunities of implementing the "twin-city" development layout and making the "second startup" in the Binhai New Area. Focusing on the positioning of serving integrated energy service providers in the park, the Group vigorously develops distributed energy and integrated energy services and strengthens work to make technological innovations and investment mergers and acquisitions. The Group will further promote the reform of its systems and mechanisms, strengthen the construction of the talent pool, comprehensively enhance specialization, and continuously improve its competitiveness, innovation, control, influence and risk resistance to achieve high-quality development.

IV. Main Task

Focusing on the development goals during the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the Company unleashes development vitality by deepening its reform, improves labor productivity by accelerating technological innovations so as to improve its profitability, and increases capital operations to broaden financing channels. The Group plans to focus its attention on the following work:

  1. Business level

1. Vigorously developing the clean energy business

During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the Company will vigorously expand its clean energy business, and by virtue of the projects of turning coal into gas, continues to promote the transformation and upgrading of its businesses. Meanwhile, by leveraging the synergistic and scale effects of the industrial park, the Group deeply digs customers' need and expands the scope of services, to ensure its sustained and stable development.

- 16 -

APPENDIX I "14TH FIVE-YEAR" STRATEGIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF THE COMPANY

Distributed energy has the advantages of energy conservation, emission reduction, safety, flexibility, etc. According to the guidance of National Development and Reform Commission of the PRC and the National Energy Administration on promoting the integration of load and storage in the power source network and the supplementary development of multiple energy sources and in light of the actual development of businesses, the Group will vigorously develop distributed energy projects of gas.

2. Actively developing integrated energy services

China's economy is entering a new stage of high-quality development, and the power industry is in a crucial stage in which reform is comprehensively deepened. With increasingly intensified supervision over power transmission and distribution businesses and narrower space for profits in power grids, the development of integrated energy services becomes inevitable and enjoys broad market potential. During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the Group will continue to expand the business of photovoltaic power generation upon its current scale, actively develop integrated energy services based on the energy-saving renovation project of street lamps, prioritize the expansion of the scope of businesses in the ports and port-facing areas of the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone, and gradually expand the scope of businesses beyond the area. On the premise of serving existing customers, the Group will accumulate experience in projects of integrated energy services while expanding new customer groups.

3. Actively carrying out mergers and acquisitions and expanding businesses beyond the area

Mergers and acquisitions is an effective way for listed companies to realize rapid growth in asset size and business scale and quickly enter relevant business areas, thereby making business diversification possible. According to the Group's strategic development plan and the allocation of resources and business development at all stages, the Group achieves expansion at low cost and expands asset scale rapidly by means of equity investment, mergers and acquisitions with the help of the forces of the capital market, and by giving full play to the leverage of capital. The Group integrates high-quality assets through the platform of listed companies. Around its strategic positioning, the Group actively implements the equity mergers and acquisitions. The Group searches for project information through various channels and does a good job of project screening and reserve. Though mergers and acquisitions, the Group achieves cross-regional,cross-industry and diversified coverage of businesses.

Currently, the Group's businesses are only limited to the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone (Seaport and Lingang). The limited coverage, the single customer's industry, the small scope of businesses directly restrict the Group's development. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the Group will be based in the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone, and actively expanding businesses in the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone and other areas through self-establishment and cooperation. The Group will step out of Tianjin in good time and actively expand businesses in other places, to serve local pillars and characteristic industries.
