REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE TRANSFER

The Transfer is a strategic adjustment made by Beijing Tianhai based on its own development. The cash flow generated from the transfer of the Wu Fang Qiao Assets can effectively support the sustainable and stable development of Beijing Tianhai's principal business.

3

The Transfer is beneficial to the sustainable and stable development of Beijing Tianhai's three principal business segments, namely hydrogen energy, industrial gas and natural gas, during the 14th Five-Year Plan period.

First, it is necessary for the strategic hydrogen energy business segment of Beijing Tianhai to consolidate its leading position in technology, increase its investment, and facilitate rapid development. For the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Beijing Tianhai has clearly defined its strategic direction of "rational analysis of market demand, precise positioning of products, timely utilization of capital and resources of strategic partners, expansion of production scale, and capture of industry opportunities", and more capital support is required to seize development opportunities. In addition, the development of Beijing Tianhai's traditional industrial gas segment faces the strategic requirements of process optimization and enhancement of the level of computerisation and informatisation, which require more capital investment. Furthermore, the development of the natural gas segment requires the support of a stable cash flow as it is affected by factors such as high capital occupation, long investment return periods, and large market fluctuations. As a result, cash flow support will be acquired from the transfer of the Wu Fang Qiao Assets, which will strategically support the development of the three principal business segments.

The Directors (excluding the independent non-executive Directors whose opinions will be set out in the letter from the independent Board committee to be included in the circular) consider that the terms of the Transfer are on normal commercial terms or better, the terms of the Agreement are fair and reasonable, and the Transfer is in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

FINANCIAL IMPACT OF THE TRANSFER AND THE USE OF PROCEEDS

Upon the completion of the Transfer, the Group expects to recognize a gain of approximately RMB382,680,169.34 (calculated based on the transfer price of RMB410,195,000 less the unaudited net book value of RMB27,514,830.66 of the Wu Fang Qiao Assets as at 30 June 2020) from the Transfer. The above financial impact is for illustrative purposes only, and the actual gain to be recognized in the Group's consolidated financial statements is subject to, among other things, actual costs and expenses in relation to the Transfer, the net book value of the Wu Fang Qiao Assets on the completion date of the Transfer and the review by the Company's auditors when the consolidated financial statements of the Group are finalised.

The net proceeds from the Transfer are intended to be used for general operating expenses of the Group to support the development of the three principal business segments described in the section "Reasons for and Benefits of the Transfer" above.
