The purposes of this circular are to provide you with details of the proposed termination of some investment projects financed by proceeds from private placement and use relevant proceeds from private placement to permanently replenish the working capital, amendments to the Articles of Association and waiver of share lock-up undertakings of the Actual Controllers of the Company.

2. PROPOSED TERMINATION OF SOME INVESTMENT PROJECTS FINANCED BY PROCEEDS FROM PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND USE RELEVANT PROCEEDS FROM PRIVATE PLACEMENT TO PERMANENTLY REPLENISH THE WORKING CAPITAL

On 31 October 2019, the sixth session of the Board of the Company resolved by way of written resolutions that, subject to the approval of the Shareholders, the ''precious casting and processing of automotive components project'', one of the fund-raising investment projects from the non-public issuance of A Shares in 2014, be terminated, and the remaining raised funds and interest in the project be used for permanently replenishing the working capital of the Company, and for production and operation of the Company, so as to improve the efficiency in using funds. Such proposal shall be submitted for consideration and approval at the 2020 First EGM.

The details of the proposal are set out as follows:

  1. OVERVIEW OF THE FUND-RAISING INVESTMENT PROJECT WHICH IS PROPOSED TO BE TERMINATED
    1. Overview of fundraising

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The raised funds of RMB200 million in total were proposed to be invested in the ''precious casting and processing of automotive components project'', and as at 30 October 2019, the total raised funds which were invested in the project were RMB133,538,600.00, representing 66.77% and which were mainly used for construction of a casting factory and a machining factory, and purchase of equipment for the casting line and the machining line in the project and otherwise. As at 30 October 2019, the casting factory for the project was completed and put into operation; the machining factory passed the acceptance inspection and was put into operation; certain equipment for the casting line was purchased, which formed the casting capacity of approximately 7,000 tons, and certain equipment was purchased for the machining line, which mainly formed the capacity for machining approximately 150,000 shells, and 300,000 tubular columns and other products.

As at 30 October 2019, the remaining raised funds for the project were RMB80,496,900.00 (which included the accumulated amount of interests received from bank deposits and net gains from short-term bank wealth management products less bank charges, and the amount of RMB80,000,000.00 which was not due and temporarily used for replenishing the working capital).

  1. REASONS FOR TERMINATION OF SOME FUND-RAISING INVESTMENT PROJECTS FINANCED BY PROCEEDS FROM PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND PLAN FOR SUBSEQUENT USE
    1. Reasons for termination of the ''precious casting and processing of automotive components project''
      1. Recent decline in the vehicle market and the vehicle parts market

In 2018, the production and sales volumes of China automobile industry were 27,809,000 units and 28,081,000 units respectively, representing a decrease of 4.20% and 2.80% year on year respectively. The production and sales volumes of passenger cars were 23,529,000 units and 23,710,000 units respectively, representing a decrease of 5.20% and 4.10% year on year respectively. Among these, the sales volume of China-brand passenger cars was 9,980,000 units, representing a decrease of 8.00% year on year.

From January to June 2019, the production and sales volumes of China automobile industry were 12,132,000 units and 12,323,000 units respectively, representing a decrease of 13.70% and 12.40% year on year respectively. The production and sales volume of passenger cars were 9,978,000 units and 10,127,000 units respectively, representing a decrease of 15.80% and 14.00% year on year respectively. Among passenger cars, the sales volume of China-brand passenger cars was 3,998,000 units, representing a decrease of 21.70% year on year. The production and sales volumes of commercial vehicles were 2,154,000 units and 2,196,000 units respectively, representing a decrease of 2.30% and 4.10% year on year respectively. Among commercial vehicles, the production and sales volumes of buses decreased by 10.90% and 6.90% year on year respectively; the production and sales volume of trucks decreased by 1.30% and 3.80% year on year respectively.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The fluctuations in the vehicle market directly affected the vehicle parts market. The poor performance of the automobile industry in China led to the decline in the sales volume of China-brand passenger cars, which had a certain adverse impact on the sales of products of the Company. The production and sales volumes of knuckles which involved the utilization of the precision casting production capacity remained low. In 2018 and the first half of 2019, the rates of utilization of the precision casting production capacity of Jilin Shibao were 46.98% and 49.81% respectively, resulting in a certain gap in full utilization of the capacity. Meanwhile, based on current market conditions, the space for the vehicle parts market in the future and its development plans, the Company believed that the current casting and machining capacity for precision castings basically met the future needs of the Company.

2. With the decline in the overall results of the Company, the termination of the project is capable of saving financial costs for the Company and avoiding a significant increase in depreciation, which will help improve the future results of the Company

The poor performance of the automobile industry in China led to the decline in the sales volume of China-brand passenger cars, which had a certain adverse impact on the sales of products of the Company. It recorded meager profit in 2018 and losses between January and June 2019, and expected a loss for 2019. If the Company continues to make a significant investment in the ''precious casting and processing of automotive components project'' as originally scheduled, there will be a considerable depreciation for the Company in the short term, after construction in progress is classified into fixed assets. Meanwhile, based on the current vehicle market conditions, the precision casting production capacity of the Company is capable of meeting production needs. If the Company continues to make an investment in the ''precious casting and processing of automotive components project'', the additional casting production capacity cannot be used to generate profits in the short term, which is adverse to improving the results of the Company and safeguarding the interests of the Shareholders of the Company. In addition, based on the current one-year loan interest rate of a commercial bank, the Company is able to save financial costs of RMB3,501,600.00 by using, the remaining raised funds of approximately RMB80,496,900.00 in the project, for permanently replenishing the working capital. Therefore, in consideration of the operational stability and economy, the Company determines to terminate the ''precious casting and processing of automotive components project''.

  1. Change of the use of raised funds and plan for permanently replenishing the working capital

As at 30 October 2019, the remaining raised funds for the project were RMB80,496,900.00 (which included the accumulated amount of interests received from bank deposits and net gains from short-term bank wealth management products less bank charges, and the amount of RMB80,000,000.00 which was not due and temporarily used for replenishing the working capital). The above remaining raised

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

funds and interest are proposed to be used for permanently replenishing the working capital (based on the balance on which the bank settles the interest, on the date of transfer of the funds). After being used for permanently replenishing the working capital, the above remaining raised funds and interest will be used for daily operating activities of the Company.

  1. ARRANGEMENTS FOR RAISED FUNDS AFTER TERMINATION OF THE ''PRECIOUS CASTING AND PROCESSING OF AUTOMOTIVE COMPONENTS PROJECT''

Based on the principle of maximizing Shareholders' interests, and in accordance with relevant provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Stocks on the SME Board of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (深圳證券交易所中小板股票上市規則), and the Guide to Standard Operation of Companies Listed on the SME Board of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange (深圳證券交易所中小板上市公司規範運作指引), and in consideration of the development plan and actual production and operation needs of the Company, it intends to use the remaining raised funds and interest in the ''precious casting and processing of automotive components project'', one of the fund-raising investment projects from the non- public issuance of A Shares in 2014, for permanently replenishing the working capital (based on the balance on which the bank settles the interest, on the date of transfer of the funds). The Company will cancel the project raised fund account after the above raised funds of the project are used for permanently replenishing the working capital, and the agreement for escrow of raised funds between the Company, the sponsor and the deposit bank will terminate upon the cancellation.

IV. IMPACT OF TERMINATION OF THE FUND-RAISING INVESTMENT PROJECT ON THE COMPANY

The decision on the termination of the ''precious casting and processing of automotive components project'', one of the fund-raising investment projects from the non-public issuance of A Shares in 2014, is cautiously made, based on development and change of objective and actual conditions, in order to avoid making a new production capacity idle and ineffective investment. Such termination is capable of avoiding investment risks and in line with the actual conditions of production and operation of the Company, and will not materially and adversely affect the production and operation of the Company. The proposed use of all of the remaining raised funds and interest upon the termination of the project, for permanently replenishing the working capital, will help improve the efficiency in using raised funds and reduce financial costs, and is in the interest of all Shareholders.

  1. RELEVANT UNDERTAKINGS OF THE COMPANY

In accordance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Guide to Standard Operation of Companies Listed on the SME Board of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the Company undertakes that:

  1. MATTERS IN RELATION TO SHARE LOCK-UP UNDERTAKINGS, THE WAIVER OF WHICH IS REQUESTED
    1. Contents of Share Lock-up Undertakings, the Waiver of Which is Requested

Mr. Zhang Shi Quan applies for a waiver of ''1.…the capital contribution to

Shibao Holding which is transferred in each year during his/her term of office shall not exceed 25% of capital contributions held by him/her in Shibao Holding…'' in the aforesaid undertakings.

The share lock-up undertakings, the waiver of which is requested by Mr. Zhang Shi Quan exclude statutory share lock-up undertakings, which are additional share lock-up undertakings voluntarily made by him in the capital market environment for the time being. The contents of the voluntary lock-up undertakings are not pre-conditions or required terms for implementation and completion of A Share IPO of a company specified by the Company Law, the Security Law and other laws and regulations.

(II) Reasons and Bases for Applying for a Waiver of Share Lock-up Undertakings

As at the date of this circular, Mr. Zhang Shi Quan holds 40% equity interest in Shibao Holding, and Shibao Holding holds 341,786,098 A Shares (accounting for 43.28% of the total share capital of the Company) in the Company. As Mr. Zhang Shi Quan is entitled to exercise one-third or more of the controlling interests in Shibao Holding, therefore, Mr. Zhang Shi Quan is deemed to be interested in all of the 341,786,098 A Shares in the Company held by Shibao Holding. As at the date of this circular, Mr. Zhang Shi Quan directly holds 26,391,580 A Shares (accounting for 3.34% of the total share capital of the Company) in the Company. Due to his advanced years, Mr. Zhang Shi Quan intends to gradually transfer enterprise management work to, among others, young members of the family, therefore, Mr. Zhang Shi Quan entered into the

- 16 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

equity transfer agreements with each of his son (Mr. Zhang Bao Yi), his daughter (Ms. Zhang Lan Jun), his son-in-law (Mr. Tang Hao Han) and his brother (Mr. Zhang Shi Zhong), whereby, he intended to transfer 10%, 10%, 5% and 5% equity interest held by him in Shibao Holding to Mr. Zhang Bao Yi, Ms. Zhang Lan Jun, Mr. Tang Hao Han and Mr. Zhang Shi Zhong, respectively. The actual controllers of the Company remained unchanged before and after the equity transfer, namely Mr. Zhang Shi Quan, Mr. Zhang Bao Yi, Ms. Zhang Lan Jun, Mr. Tang Hao Han and Mr. Zhang Shi Zhong. In addition, as stated in the Prospectus for A Share IPO of the Company, Mr. Zhang Bao Yi, Ms. Zhang Lan Jun, Mr. Tang Hao Han and Mr. Zhang Shi Zhong have undertaken that ''the capital contribution to Shibao Holding which is transferred in each year during his/her term of office shall not exceed 25% of capital contributions held by him/ her in Shibao Holding'', therefore, Mr. Zhang Bao Yi, Ms. Zhang Lan Jun, Mr. Tang Hao Han and Mr. Zhang Shi Zhong will takeover the share lock-up undertakings, the waiver of which is requested by Mr. Zhang Shi Quan, after the equity transfer.

The share lock-up undertakings, the waiver of which is requested by Mr. Zhang Shi Quan are voluntary undertakings made when the Company prepared for A Share IPO, and are not statutory undertakings made under mandatory provisions of the Company Law, the Security Law and other laws and regulations or unchangeable undertakings under existing rules, and Mr. Zhang Shi Quan did not declare that the undertakings could not be changed or waived, when making the undertakings.

In accordance with the Rules Governing Listing of Stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, the Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies No.4 - Undertakings and Performance by Listed Companies and Listed Companies' De Facto Controllers, Shareholders, Related Parties and Acquirers, and relevant provisions, Mr. Zhang Shi Quan applies to the Board, the Supervisory Committee and the general meeting for a waiver of the aforesaid share lock-up undertakings.

III. OPINIONS OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

The application by Mr. Zhang Shi Quan for a waiver of certain undertakings in relation to share lock-up complies with relevant provisions of the Rules Governing Listing of Stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and the Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies No.4 - Undertakings and Performance by Listed Companies and Listed Companies' De Facto Controllers, Shareholders, Related Parties and Acquirers, and the waiver of the share lock-up undertakings facilitates the long-term strategic development of the Company, without damage to the interests of the Company and minority Shareholders. During the course of consideration of the proposal by the Board, connected Directors withdrew from voting, and the consideration and decision- making procedures for the matter comply with the Company Law, the Rules Governing Listing of Stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and other laws and

- 17 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

regulations, and the Articles of Association. The independent Directors agree with the proposal on the Waiver of Share Lock-up Undertakings of the Actual Controllers of the Company and submit it at the general meeting of the Company for consideration.

IV. OPINIONS OF THE SUPERVISORY COMMITTEE

The application by Mr. Zhang Shi Quan for a waiver of certain undertakings in relation to share lock-up complies with relevant provisions of the Rules Governing Listing of Stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, and the Regulatory Guidelines for Listed Companies No.4 - Undertakings and Performance by Listed Companies and Listed Companies' De Facto Controllers, Shareholders, Related Parties and Acquirers. The consideration and decision-making procedures for the waiver of the share lock-up undertakings comply with the Company Law, the Rules Governing Listing of Stocks on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and other laws and regulations, and the Articles of Association. The waiver of the share lock-up undertakings facilitates the long-term strategic development of the Company, without damage to the interests of the Company and minority Shareholders. The Supervisory Committee agrees with the proposal on the Waiver of Share Lock-up Undertakings of the Actual Controllers of the Company.

5. EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING AND CLASS MEETINGS

The proposal on the termination of some investment projects financed by proceeds from private placement and use relevant proceeds from private placement to permanently replenish the working capital is subject to, among others, approval by the Shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution at the general meeting. The proposal on the amendments to the Articles of Association is subject to, among others, the effect of approval by the Shareholders by way of a special resolution at the general meeting and class meetings, and the Company's obtaining all required approval or endorsement from or registration with the relevant regulatory authorities. The proposal on the waiver of share lock-up undertakings of the Actual Controllers of the Company is subject to, among others, approval by the Shareholders by way of an ordinary resolution at the general meeting, at which the Connected Shareholders will abstain from voting.

Therefore, it is proposed that the 2020 First EGM, the 2020 First A Shareholders' Class Meeting and the 2020 First H Shareholders' Class Meeting are convened to propose the resolutions on voting for, among others, the above proposals.

Save for the proposed resolution in relation to the waiver of share lock-up undertakings of the Actual Controllers of the Company, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, none of the Shareholders would be required to abstain from voting on the proposed resolutions at the 2020 First EGM. In addition, to the best knowledge and belief of the Directors, none of the Shareholders would be required to abstain from voting on the proposed resolutions at the 2020 First A Shareholders' Class Meeting and the 2020 First H Shareholders' Class Meeting.
