(i) the transfer of 65% equity interests in Ningxia Lingwu, being approximately RMB2,095,704,651.68, which is calculated as follows:
RMB2,095,704,651.68 = RMB(4,386,346,998.48 - 1,162,185,995.9) x 65%
Where:
(1) RMB4,386,346,998.48 represents the appraised value of owners' equity for Ningxia Lingwu as at 30 June 2020 without taking into account the dividends distributable to its shareholders, using asset-basedapproach by Zhonghe Appraisal Co., Ltd.;
(2) RMB1,162,185,995.9 represents total dividends distributable to its shareholders set forth in the "Proposal of Profit Distribution of the Company (2014-2019)"considered and approved by the general meeting of Ningxia Lingwu on 28 July 2020 (the "Proposal"); and
- 5 -
Consideration:
The Company agreed to sell and China Huadian agreed to purchase 65% equity interests in Ningxia Lingwu held by the Company and the Lingwu Dividend Receivable.
Subject matter:
China Huadian (the transferee).
The Company (the transferor); and
26 February 2021
NINGXIA LINGWU AGREEMENT
The principal terms of the Ningxia Lingwu Agreement are summarized as follows:
Date:
Parties:
LETTER FROM THE BOARD

II.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

    1. 65% represents the percentage of equity interests held by the Company in Ningxia Lingwu.
  1. the transfer of the Lingwu Dividend Receivable, being RMB726,799,319.77, which is calculated as follows:
    RMB726,799,319.77 = RMB771,328,762.86 - RMB44,529,443.09
    Where:
    1. RMB771,328,762.86 represents the total dividends distributable to the Company, calculated based on the total dividends distributable to Ningxia Lingwu's shareholders set forth in the Proposal and among which the amount of transfer into share capital, and the percentage of shares in Ningxia Lingwu held by the Company(1); and
    2. RMB44,529,443.09 represents the dividend already paid to the Company from Ningxia Lingwu on 9 September 2020. As set forth in the Proposal, the total dividends distributable to Ningxia Lingwu's shareholders (including the Lingwu Dividend Receivable) shall be paid in due course (without specifying the due date for such amount) subject to the business operation of Ningxia Lingwu.

Note:

  1. The dividend distributable to the Company for the years of 2014 and 2015 is RMB391,582,044 and RMB325,196,672.43 respectively, which are slightly more than its proportional amount of dividend as to the Company's shareholding percentage in Ningxia Lingwu, due to the facts that: (i) the share capital of Ningxia Lingwu was contributed by the Company and Chalco Ningxia Energy Group Co., Ltd. (中鋁寧夏能源集團有 限公司) by yearly installments. Small parts of the actual capital contributions by Chalco Ningxia Energy Group Co., Ltd. during 2014 and 2015 were delayed as a result of its longer internal decisioning process then; and
    1. the dividends distributable to the shareholders of Ningxia Lingwu for 2014 and 2015 were therefore calculated and fixed by the Proposal according to the actual share capital contribution by shareholders during those two years. During 2016-2019, both shareholders of Ningxia Lingwu made their share capital contribution without any delay and therefore the dividends distributable to them were calculated according to their respective shareholding percentages in Ningxia Lingwu (i.e. 65% and 35%).

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

During the Transition Period commencing on the Valuation Reference Date to the completion date (being the completion date of the industrial and commercial change registration for the shareholders in respect of the transfer of 65% equity interests in Ningxia Lingwu), the Company shall be entitled to assume the corresponding profit or loss attributable to the abovesaid 65% equity interests in Ningxia Lingwu. And the third instalment of consideration shall be adjusted based on such audited profit/loss, according to the audit report of Ningxia Lingwu for the period from the Valuation Reference Date (exclusive of such date) to the completion date (inclusive of such date). As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is still in the process of appointing an auditor to perform such audit and targets to finalize the appointment by the middle of April 2021.

Having reviewed the credentials and the confirmation letter provided by Zhonghe Appraisal Co., Ltd., the Board confirms that Zhonghe Appraisal Co., Ltd. is an independent and competent valuer to conduct the valuation of Ningxia Lingwu. Regarding the valuation approach adopted, the asset-based approach, in comparison to other appraisal approaches, is a basic approach of assessing corporate value by asset investment, which can directly reflect the scale of corporate value. In addition, Ningxia Lingwu is a cogeneration enterprise, which falls into the scope of heavy assets industry that has a high ratio of fixed asset investment. Therefore, the asset-based approach valuation result relatively has a higher reliability. Given above and after review of the valuation report and discussion with the valuer, the Board is of the view that the valuation methodology adopted in the valuation of Ningxia Lingwu is fair and reasonable.

- 7 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

In respect of the key assumptions adopted in the valuation of Ningxia Lingwu, the Board is of the view that such assumptions are fair and reasonable taking into account the following basis: (i) such key assumptions are duly screened and chosen by the valuer in accordance with the relevant requirements as prescribed in the applicable PRC regulations and guidance on valuations (such as the Guidelines on Valuation Report of Business State-owned Assets (CAS [2017] No. 42) and Assets Valuation Practicing Standards - Assets Valuation Report (CAS [2018] No. 35)); (ii) the independence and competence of the valuer, which played a key role in choosing such assumptions as mentioned above; (iii) that the senior management and the Board of the Company have carefully reviewed such key assumptions adopted in the valuation of Ningxia Lingwu; and (iv) that the senior management and the Board of the Company have discussed with the valuer in details on such assumptions and are not aware of any other key assumption which may materially impact the result of valuation of Ningxia Lingwu.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is not aware of any subsequent material changes to circumstances and conditions of Ningxia Lingwu that will impact the results of the valuation of Ningxia Lingwu since the Valuation Reference Date. In addition, as mentioned, an audit of Ningxia Lingwu for the Transition Period shall be followed and completed, and the third instalment of payment consideration will be adjusted accordingly based on such audited results. Given above and considering the valuation report of Ningxia Lingwu has an effective term of one year after the Valuation Reference Date according to relevant PRC regulations, the valuation of Ningxia Lingwu forms a fair and reasonable basis for the determination of the considerations for the transactions under Ningxia Lingwu Agreement.

- 8 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Although the parties did not designate a cap to the adjustments (which could be upward or downward) resulted from the abovementioned pre-closing audit in relation to the Transition Period, the Company expects that the adjustment on the amount of consideration arising from the audit results of Ningxia Lingwu as at the completion date in respect of the Transition Period will be minimal, on the following basis: (i) the adjustment mechanism will mainly look to the possible change of audited figure of amount of net asset of the Ningxia Lingwu over the Transition Period, details of which can be referred to in item (iii) of "Payments" section below; (ii) the amount of net asset of Ningxia Lingwu as at the completion date would be affected, if any, mainly by any capital increase, dividend distribution and profit or loss of Ningxia Lingwu during the Transition Period; and (iii) the Company is not aware of, and does not foresee, any material change to circumstances and conditions of Ningxia Lingwu that will impact the results of the valuation of Ningxia Lingwu since the Valuation Reference Date, nor any plans for capital increase or dividend distribution, or material profit or loss (after reviewing the management account of the Company) to be incurred by Ningxia Lingwu during the Transition Period. Given the above, the Transfers (calculated on an aggregated basis) will not end up with a higher classification of transaction. In addition, the Company will make further announcement on the details of the adjusted consideration of the transactions under the Ningxia Lingwu Agreement as and when appropriate.

The Board is of the view that such pre-closing audit of Ningxia Lingwu (for details, please refer to item (iii) of the "Payments" section below) is on normal commercial terms or better terms, fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole on the following basis: (i) by way of conducting such a pre-closing audit, the consideration after adjustment for the transaction will then be better reflective of the latest value of the Company's shareholding in Ningxia Lingwu as at the closing; and (ii) such a pre-closing adjustment approach, as the parties adopted in this transaction, is a prevailing consideration adjustment mechanism in the market which has been commonly adopted in the similar type of M&A transactions.

- 9 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As a result, after taking into account the fairness and reasonableness of (1) the valuation methodology and the key assumptions adopted in the valuation of Ningxia Lingwu and thus the appraised value of Ningxia Lingwu arrived; and (2) the adjustment mechanism of consideration based on an additional pre-closing audit of Ningxia Lingwu, the Board is satisfied that the consideration under the Ningxia Lingwu Agreement is fair and reasonable, and on normal commercial terms or better terms.

Payments:The consideration for the transactions contemplated under the Ningxia Lingwu Agreement will be paid in cash by China Huadian to the Company in three instalments under the proportions of 51%, 29% and 20%, in which:

  1. China Huadian shall pay the first instalment of
    consideration for transfer (being RMB1,439,477,025.44) within five working days after the Ningxia Lingwu Agreement has come into effect;
  2. China Huadian shall pay the second instalment of
    consideration for transfer (being RMB818,526,151.72) within five working days after Ningxia Lingwu has completed the industrial and commercial change registration for the transfer of its 65% equity interests; and
  3. The audit of Ningxia Lingwu for the Transition Period shall be completed and the corresponding audit report shall be issued within 15 working days after the industrial and commercial change registration. Within five working days after the issuance of the abovementioned audit report, China Huadian shall pay the third instalment of adjusted consideration for transfer, which shall be calculated based on the difference between the audited net asset as at the Valuation Reference Date and that as at the closing date (in proportion to the percentage of equity interests held by the Company in Ningxia Lingwu). Such audited figure of the net asset as at the closing date will be arrived at taking into account any capital increase, dividend distribution and/or profit or loss of Ningxia Lingwu during the Transition Period. The consideration will rise if the net asset increases as at the closing date and vice versa. The relevant adjustments of consideration shall then be made to RMB564,500,794.29, which is the third installment of consideration before adjustment.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company has not paid any of the three instalments of consideration.

China Huadian (the transferee).

Subject matter:

The Company agreed to sell and China Huadian agreed

to purchase 53% equity interests in Ningxia Heating

held by the Company.

The consideration of transaction contemplated under

the Ningxia Heating Agreement is RMB1,249,728,234,

which is calculated as follows:

RMB1,249,728,234

RMB(2,342,227,800

+

15,750,000) x 53%

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

During the Transition Period commencing on the Valuation Reference Date to the completion date (being the completion date of the industrial and commercial change registration for the shareholders in respect of the transfer of 53% equity interests in Ningxia Heating), the Company shall be entitled to assume the corresponding profit or loss attributable to the abovesaid 53% equity interests in Ningxia Heating. And the third instalment of consideration shall be adjusted based on such audited profit/loss, according to the audit report of Ningxia Heating for the period from the Valuation Reference Date (exclusive of such date) to the completion date (inclusive of such date). As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is still in the process of appointing an auditor to perform such audit and targets to finalize the appointment by the middle of April 2021.

Having reviewed the credentials and the confirmation letter provided by the Appraiser, the Board confirms that the Appraiser is an independent and competent valuer to conduct the valuation of Ningxia Heating. Ningxia Heating is a company specializing in urban central heating supply, which falls within the category of franchising. Save for the projects completed and currently under operation, the remaining construction of other projects is scheduled to be completed and put into operation by the end of 2022. In addition to the existing fixed asset investments and a large amount of working capital, Ningxia Heating also has relatively stable customer resources, stable suppliers, a strong management and operation team, a good reputation, experienced industry management talents, and relatively full qualifications among the industry. The industry prospects are promising, considering its competitiveness in the same area and the same industry, the company's estimated future profits are achievable. The income approach covers the contribution of all tangible and intangible assets from the perspective of future income. Compared with the asset-based approach, the income approach is more able to reflect the market value of Ningxia Heating on the Valuation Reference Date. In particular, for Phase

  1. project of Ningxia Heating, the construction in progress under the asset-based approach only reflects the carry amount up to now. However, according to the enterprise historical data, it is known that upon the investment in the heating project, considerable cash flow will be generated in the later stage since the heating price is government-guided and the heating area has been determined. Therefore, compared with the asset-based approach, the income approach can better reflect the market value of Ningxia Heating.

- 13 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Ningxia Lingwu is a production-oriented enterprise which produces electricity and heat. Equipment assets account for a large proportion. Therefore, the asset approach is adopted for valuation of Ningxia Lingwu. Moreover, since its income is mainly affected by the amount of power generation, the utilization hours of power generation are affected by macroeconomic factors. At the same time, the cost is mainly affected by coal prices with large fluctuation. If the income approach is adopted for valuation, it is difficult to ensure the accuracy of its estimated income and profits. Therefore, different valuation methodologies were adopted in the valuation of these two companies due to their distinctive corporate and revenue- generating nature. Given above and after review of the valuation methodologies and detailed discussion with the valuer, the Board is of the view that the valuation methodology adopted in the valuation of Ningxia Heating is fair and reasonable.

In respect of the key assumptions adopted in the valuation of Ningxia Heating, the Board is of the view that such assumptions are fair and reasonable taking into account the following basis: (i) such key assumptions are duly screened and chosen by the valuer in accordance with the relevant requirements as prescribed in the applicable PRC regulations and guidance on valuations (such as the Guidelines on Valuation Report of Business State-owned Assets (CAS [2017] No. 42) and Assets Valuation Practicing Standards - Assets Valuation Report (CAS [2018] No. 35)); (ii) the independence and competence of the valuer, which played a key role in choosing such assumptions as mentioned above; (iii) that the senior management and the Board of the Company have carefully reviewed such key assumptions adopted in the valuation of Ningxia Heating; and (iv) that the senior management and the Board of the Company have discussed with the valuer in details on such assumptions and are not aware of any other key assumption which may materially impact the result of valuation of Ningxia Heating.

- 14 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is not aware of any subsequent material changes to circumstances and conditions of Ningxia Heating that will impact the results of the valuation of Ningxia Heating since the Valuation Reference Date. In addition, as mentioned, an audit of Ningxia Heating for the Transition Period shall be followed and completed, and the third instalment of payment consideration will be adjusted accordingly based on such audited results. Given above and considering the valuation report of Ningxia Heating has an effective term of one year after the Valuation Reference Date according to relevant PRC regulations, the valuation of Ningxia Heating forms a fair and reasonable basis for the determination of the considerations for the transactions under Ningxia Heating Agreement.

Although the parties did not designate a cap to the adjustments (which could be upward or downward) resulted from the abovementioned pre-closing audit in relation to the Transition Period, the Company expects that the adjustment on the amount of consideration arising from the audit results of Ningxia Heating as at the completion date in respect of the Transition Period will be minimal, on the following basis: (i) the adjustment mechanism will mainly look to the possible change of audited figure of amount of net asset of the Ningxia Heating over the Transition Period, details of which can be referred to in item (iii) of "Payments" section below; (ii) the amount of net asset of Ningxia Heating as at the completion date would be affected, if any, mainly by any capital increase, dividend distribution and profit or loss of Ningxia Heating during the Transition Period; and (iii) the Company is not aware of, and does not foresee, any material change to circumstances and conditions of Ningxia Heating that will impact the results of the valuation of Ningxia Heating since the Valuation Reference Date, nor any plans for capital increase or dividend distribution, or material profit or loss (after reviewing the management account of the Company) to be incurred by Ningxia Heating during the Transition Period. Given the above, the Transfers (calculated on an aggregated basis) will not end up with a higher classification of transaction. In addition, the Company will make further announcement on the details of the adjusted consideration of the transaction under the Ningxia Heating Agreement as and when appropriate.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

RMB351,610,706.56 and RMB602,093,457.72, respectively. And it is expected that no gain or loss from the transfer of the Lingwu Dividend Receivable will be recorded by the Company. It is expected that no corporate income tax will be incurred from the Transfers, considering the gain from the Transfers will be less than the amount of loss recorded at the end of 2019 and the Company has not yet completed the settlement and payment of income tax for the year of 2020. Save for stamp tax amounting to RMB2,040,000, no other taxes or expenses will be incurred from the Transfers.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds arising from the Transfers for general working capital of the Group, mainly for repayment of loans, replenishment of working capital, and capital investment. And it is expected that the net proceeds will be fully utilized on or before 31 December 2021.

  1. REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF ENTERING INTO THE TRANSFER AGREEMENTS

Upon the completion of the Transfers, despite the fact that the total installation capacity of the Group and operating revenue may decrease, the Board is of the view that the Transfers are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole, based on the following considerations: (i) such potential decrease of total installation capacity and operating revenue of the Group, considering the deal size of the Transfers (as compared with the overall size of the whole Group's business operation) and the classification of the Transfers, is not expected to be so material; and (ii) the proceeds from the Transfers will be utilized to invest in promising business or investment projects in other geographical or business areas which the Company believes will have more room for strategic development as well as brighter prospects for better profitability and cash flows, whereby the profit and cash flow of the Group for the financial year of 2021 and beyond will be increased and meanwhile the asset deployment of the Group will be further optimized in the longer run.

The Company considers that the profitability of coal-fired power generating units in Ningxia region has declined and its regional competitiveness was weak. The relatively high profitability of Ningxia Lingwu was due to the high level of utilization hours of power generation units in the past few years, which reached more than 7,000 hours at the highest. Since 2015, as (i) the installed capacity of clean energy power generating units has increased gradually and high-energy-consuming industries have been restricted; and (ii) the capacity of electricity consumption was not strong with a low electricity price due to differences in the overall economic level of Ningxia province as compared to central eastern regions in the PRC, and, as a result, utilization hours of Ningxia Lingwu moved in a general decreasing trend in recent years. In addition, coal prices in Ningxia province remained at high level due to the out-transportation of coal from Ningxia province to other regions, which further led to the decline in Ningxia Lingwu's profitability.

In addition, the Company takes into account that Ningxia Heating's operation was highly relied on Ningxia Lingwu as all heat sources of Ningxia Heating were procured from Ningxia Lingwu. After disposal of Ningxia Lingwu, the stability of Ningxia Heating's heat source would not be guaranteed.

- 22 -

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As disclosed, the net profits of Ningxia Lingwu and Ningxia Heating recorded an increasing trend in recent two to three years, which was mainly due to the slight decrease of coal price since the year of 2019. However, given the fluctuation and unpredictabilities of coal price in the coming years, both Ningxia Lingwu and Ningxia Heating are facing uncertainties in profit making.

Given above, the Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors, who have provided their opinions in the circular after taking into account of the opinions of the Independent Financial Adviser on the Transfer Agreements and the Transfers contemplated thereunder) are of the view that the terms of the Transfer Agreements and the Transfers contemplated thereunder are on normal commercial terms, which are fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole.

VI. HONG KONG LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

China Huadian, being the Controlling Shareholder of the Company, is a connected person of the Company under the Hong Kong Listing Rules. Pursuant to the Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Transfers will constitute connected transactions of the Company. Pursuant to Rule 14A.81, as one or more of the percentage ratios (as defined in Rule 14.07 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules) in respect of the Transfers, calculated on an aggregate basis, exceed 5%, the Transfers calculated on an aggregate basis are subject to the annual report, announcement, circular and Independent Shareholders' approval requirements under Chapter 14A of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

In addition, as one or more of the percentage ratios in respect of the Transfers, when aggregated, exceed 5% but are less than 25%, pursuant to the Chapter 14 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, the Transfers also constitute a discloseable transaction of the Company, and are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements but are exempted from Shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules.

Given that Mr. Ding Huande, Mr. Peng Xingyu, Mr. Gou Wei and Mr. Hao Bin, the Directors of the Company, held positions in China Huadian, they have abstained from voting on the resolutions regarding the abovementioned transactions at the seventh meeting of the ninth session of the Board. Save for the disclosed above, as at the date when the Board considered the abovementioned resolutions, no other Directors have any material interest in the Transfers contemplated under the Transfer Agreements and therefore no other Directors have abstained from voting on such resolutions of the Board.

With reference to the 2019 Annual Report, the aforesaid increase in revenue was mainly due to the adjustment of VAT tax rate and the increase in power generation volume.

The Group's operating profit substantially increased during FY2019, which was mainly due to the year-on-year decrease in coal prices. The Group recorded significant increase of approximately 134.16% in profit for the year attributable to the equity holders of the Company for FY2019.

As depicted from the above table, despite that Ningxia Heating recorded a significant increase in revenue for FY2019 as compared to that for FY2018, Ningxia Heating recorded a substantial decrease in net profit attributable to shareholders of the company during FY2019. As advised by the Directors, the aforesaid substantial decrease was mainly due to the decrease in gross profit margin and gross profit, but offsetting by the significant increase in government subsidies. As further advised by the Directors, due to the increase in gross profit margin during 1H2020 as the result of the increase in heat supply price, Ningxia Heating's net profit attributable to shareholders of the company for 1H2020 exceeds those for FY2019 and FY2018.

The total assets and net assets of Ningxia Heating as at 30 June 2020 were approximately RMB3,833.41 million and RMB1,204.48 million respectively.

Reasons for and benefits of the Transfers

With reference to the Board Letter, upon completion of the Transfers, the asset deployment of the Group is expected to be further optimized in the longer run.

With reference to the 2020 Interim Report, the Group remains facing risks arising from the power market, coal market and environmental protection. In terms of the power market, the export-driven growth slows down due to the spread of international COVID-19 epidemic and the rise of trade protectionism. In the second half of the year, the electricity power demand will be subject to uncertainty, and the Group will face great downward pressure on power generation. The external electricity purchased by Shandong, Hebei and Henan has occupied the power generation space by coal-fired generating units in these provinces, with serious conflicts caused, and the number of utilization hours of coal-fired generating units is also declining, which will exert certain impact on the Group. As the reform further deepens, the power generation and utilization plan will be fully liberalized, and the medium & long term market and the spot market will be expanded and popularized, thereby leading to fiercer competition at the power market, increasing proportion of traded electricity, and lower overall electricity price level. The Group will strengthen marketing and further enhance the ability to increase income. The Group will make analysis, research and judgment on the power market situation, grasp the opportunity in accelerating recovery of electricity demand, formulate competitive strategies for differentiated markets, and make every effort to improve the power utilization efficiency per KWh.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

As advised by the Directors, during 2021, the Group will, among other things, continuously optimize regional industrial layout and enhance the Company's ability to resist risks.

As advised by the Directors, the profitability of coal-fire power generating units in Ningxia region declined and its regional competitiveness was weak. The relatively high profitability of Ningxia Lingwu was due to the high level of utilization hours of power generation units in the past few years. The highest utilization hours of power generating units reached more than 7,000 hours many years ago. Since 2015, as (i) the installed capacity of clean energy power generating units has increased gradually and high-energy-consuming industries have been restricted; and (ii) the capacity of electricity consumption and electricity price was not strong due to differences in the overall economic level of Ningxia as compared to central eastern regions in the PRC, utilization hours of Ningxia Lingwu's power generating units moved in a general decreasing trend in recent years. In addition, coal prices in Ningxia remained at high level as compared to the historical coal prices due to the out-transportation of coal from Ningxia Province to other regions, which further led to the decline in Ningxia Lingwu's profitability.

As further advised by the Directors, Ningxia Heating's operation was highly relied on Ningxia Lingwu as all heat sources of Ningxia Heating were procured from Ningxia Lingwu. After the disposal of Ningxia Lingwu, the stability of Ningxia Heating's heat sources would not be guaranteed.

Despite that the net profits of Ningxia Lingwu and Ningxia Heating recorded increasing trend in 2017 to 2019, the principal reason of which is the low level coal price (as compared to the current coal price). However, given the fluctuation and unpredictabilities of coal price in the coming years, Ningxia Lingwu is facing uncertainties in profit making.

Set out below is a summary of the Bohai-Bay Thermal Coal Price Index for 5,500 kcal/kg ("BSPI") from 2018 to 2021:

- 35 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

According to the chart and as also advised by the Directors, coal price surge since April 2020. As Ningxia Lingwu is principally engaged in coal-fired power generation and business related to power production and operation, the coal price increase will lead to the increase in cost of power generation of Ningxia Lingwu, which will cause the decrease in Ningxia Lingwu's profit assuming no other factors affect Ningxia Lingwu's operation.

With reference to the Board Letter, the Company intends to use the net proceeds arising from the Transfers for general working capital of the Group (mainly for repayment of loans, replenishment of working capital) or capital investment.

Upon completion of the Transfers, despite the fact that the Group's installation capacity will reduce and operating revenue will decrease, the profit and cash flow for that period of the Group will be increased. The proceeds from the transactions can then be used to invest in other projects in other areas where the Company believes to have better development prospects. Therefore, the asset deployment of the Group is expected to be further optimized in the longer run.

Having considered the above factors, including but not limited to:

  1. upon completion of the Transfers, the asset deployment of the Group is expected to be further optimized in the longer run;
  2. utilization hours of Ningxia Lingwu's power generating units has been at a general decreasing trend in recent years;
  3. coal price surge since April 2020, which will adversely and directly affect Ningxia Lingwu's profitability;
  4. despite the fact that the Group's installation capacity will reduce and operating revenue will decrease, the proceeds from the Transfer should it be utilised by the Group as for (a) repayment of loans, the Group's finance cost will be reduced; or (b) invest in other projects in other areas where the Company believes to have better development prospects, the asset deployment of the Group is expected to be further optimized in the longer run (if this being the case, the Group's installation capacity and operating revenue will then increase); and
  5. Ningxia Heating's operation was highly relied on Ningxia Lingwu as all heat sources of Ningxia Heating were procured from Ningxia Lingwu. After the disposal of Ningxia Lingwu, the stability of Ningxia Heating's heat sources would not be guaranteed,

we consider although the Transfers are not conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the Transfers are in the interest of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

65% equity interests in Ningxia Lingwu held by the Company and the

Consideration:

The consideration of the transactions contemplated under the Ningxia Lingwu Agreement is RMB2,822,503,971.45 (the "Ningxia Lingwu Consideration"), comprising the consideration of (i) the transfer of 65% equity interests in Ningxia Lingwu, being RMB2,095,704,651.68, determined with reference to the appraised value (the "Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value") (being approximately RMB4,386.347 million) of owners' equity for Ningxia Lingwu as at 30 June 2020 as concluded in asset-based approach by Zhonghe Appraisal and the Proposal, according to which total dividends distributable to its shareholders amounted to RMB1,162,185,995.9; and (ii) the transfer of the Lingwu Dividend Receivable, being RMB726,799,319.77 determined with reference to the Proposal (according to which the dividends distributed to the Company from Ningxia Lingwu amounted to RMB771,328,762.86, of which RMB44,529,443.09 had been paid to the Company).

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

In order to identify whether there were similar transition period arrangement existing among the PRC companies, we searched for transactions in relation to (i) the disposal of target companies (which were involved in independent electric power produce and energy trade industry, gas utilities industry and/or electric utilities industry) to unlisted state-owned enterprise (as buyer) by companies listed on PRC stock exchanges (as seller) during one-year period prior to the date the Transfer Agreements; and (ii) similar transition period arrangement existing among the PRC companies. We found two comparable transactions which met our criteria and they were exhaustive:

  • Guangdong Electric Power Development Co., Ltd. (SH000539) announced on 5 December 2020 that company A (26% equity interests was held by the listed company) was proposed to be merged with company B (55% equity interests was held by company A). According to the announcement, the transition period is from valuation reference date to the settlement date and during the aforesaid period, their respective original shareholder will be entitled to the increase or decrease in net assets of the company A and company B.
  • Jinko Power Technology Co., Ltd. (SH601778) announced on 26 December 2020 that its subsidiaries (as vendor) proposed to dispose 70% equity interests in two target companies. According to the announcement, (i) the profit or loss during the period between valuation reference date to the settlement date (which was decided as 31 December 2020) will be entitled by the vendor; (ii) if the settlement date was later than 31 December 2020, the profit or loss afterwards shall be entitled by the target companies; and (iii) if the net asset value of the target companies as at settlement date was lower than the net asset value as at valuation reference date, the difference will be made up by the vendor; if the net asset value of the target companies as at settlement date was higher than the net asset value as at valuation reference date, the vendor will be entitled to the difference.

Having considered that (i) there were similar transition period arrangement existing among the PRC companies; and (ii) Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value was based on asset-based approach, Ningxia Lingwu's profit/loss making or (if any) capital increase, dividend distribution during the Transition Period will further affect Ningxia Lingwu's net asset value as at the completion date, which was previously not be considered in the Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value, we consider the transition period arrangement are normal commercial terms.

Valuation of Ningxia Lingwu

For our due diligence purpose, we reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of ZhongHe Appraisal with the Company; (ii) the ZhongHe Appraisal's qualification in relation to the preparation of the Ningxia Lingwu Valuation Report; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by ZhongHe Appraisal for conducting the Ningxia Lingwu Valuation Report. From the mandate letter and other relevant information provided by ZhongHe Appraisal and based on our interview with them, we were satisfied with the terms of engagement of ZhongHe Appraisal as well as their qualification for preparation of the Ningxia Lingwu Valuation Report. ZhongHe Appraisal also confirmed that they are independent to the Group, China Huadian and Ningxia Lingwu.

- 38 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

The Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value was concluded by ZhongHe Appraisal by asset-based approach. We understood that ZhongHe Appraisal adopted asset-based approach after considering following factors:

  • there were no appropriate transactions that were comparable with the subject and relating information necessary for comparing with the subject and analysing had been collected, and no operational conditions for the implementation of the valuation by adopting market approach had been satisfied, therefore market approach could not be adopted for this valuation.
  • The valuation result as appraised by adopting income approach will be significantly affected by the extent of overall effectiveness of assets invested by the target entity and the fluctuation of fired coal's market price, while the asset-based approach is a basic method which estimates the value of a corporation from the perspective of asset investment and can clearly reflect the value of a corporation.
  • Ningxia Lingwu is a company producing heat and electricity and falls into the heavy investment industry (重投資行業) with large portion of fixed asset investment, therefore it is more reliable to adopt the asset-based approach valuation result.

For our due diligence purpose, we conducted following analyses:

  • upon our enquiry, the Directors advised us the fuel cost represented approximately 68.2% and 67.8% to Ningxia Lingwu's operating cost (營業成本) in respect of sales of electricity for FY2018 and FY2019 respective. The majority of fuel cost comprised cost for the procurement of coal.
    Therefore, coal is important to Ningxia Lingwu's operation;
  • as mentioned in the section headed "Reasons for and benefits of the Transfers" above, coal price surge since April 2020;
  • review ZhongHe Appraisal's qualification and experience;
  • as confirmed by ZhongHe, the Ningxia Lingwu Valuation Report was prepared in accordance with, among other things,《資產評估準則-基本準則》(Asset Evaluation Standards - Basic Standards*) which was issued by Ministry of Finance of the PRC.

Having also considered the following factors, including,

  1. market approach could not be adopted: there were no appropriate transactions that were comparable with the subject and relating information necessary for comparing with the subject and analysing had been collected, and no operational conditions for the implementation of the valuation by adopting market approach had been satisfied, therefore market approach could not be adopted for this valuation;

- 39 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

  1. income approach is considered less feasible: there will be various parameters to be considered when using the income approach and the accuracy of such parameters will directly affect the accuracy of the valuation. However, coal price surge since April 2020 (according to BSPI index), it became difficult to predict as compared to the stable coal prices trend. Therefore, the accuracy of valuation as result of prediction by adopting income approach will not be guaranteed. Accordingly, income approach is considered less feasible;
  2. asset-basedapproach is a reliable approach: Ningxia Lingwu is a company producing heat and electricity and falls into the heavy investment industry (重投資 行業) with large portion of fixed asset investment (with fixed asset amount of approximately 88% to total assets according to Ningxia Lingwu's balance sheet as at 30 June 2020), asset-based approach is a reliable approach for such situation.

we consider the adoption of asset-based approach for the Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value by ZhongHe Appraisal is reasonable.

Despite that the valuation approach adopted and finally concluded by ZhongHe Appraisal for Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value was different from the valuation approach adopted and finally concluded by CEA for the appraised value of Ningxia Heating (the "Ningxia Heating Appraised Value"), having considered the following factors:

  • our analyses in respect of the reasonableness of the adoption of asset-based approach for the Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value above;
  • according to Article 16 of 《資產評估準則-基本準則》(Asset Evaluation Standards
    - Basic Standards*), the valuation methods for determining the value of assets include three basic approaches (i.e. market approach, income approach and cost approach) and their derivative methods. Asset appraisal professionals should analyse the applicability of the above three basic approaches according to the appraisal purpose, appraisal object, value type, data collection, etc., and select appraisal methods in accordance with the law;
  • business models of Ningxia Lingwu and Ningxia Heating are different,

we are of view that the valuation approaches adopted by different valuers for different enterprises with different business models to be acceptable.

We further reviewed the Ningxia Lingwu Valuation Report and enquired into ZhongHe Appraisal on the methodology adopted and the basis and assumptions adopted in the Ningxia Lingwu Valuation Report in order for us to understand the Ningxia Lingwu Valuation Report. During our discussion with ZhongHe Appraisal, we did not identify any major factor which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the methodology, principal bases, assumptions, and parameters adopted for the Ningxia Lingwu Valuation Report.

- 40 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

We understood that in arriving at the Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value, ZhongHe Appraisal conducted various procedures, for instance:

  1. made necessary investigations and verifications for all declared assets and liabilities during the period between 20 August 2020 and 2 September 2020, including checking on inventories, checking on buildings, checking on land use rights, etc.
  2. conducted valuation for each of assets and liabilities of the appraised entity based on necessary market researches and quotations so as to determine the values of shareholders' interests in the appraised entity.

For our due diligence purpose, we also obtained valuation breakdowns for each of assets and liabilities of Ningxia Lingwu. Having reviewed the valuation breakdowns and after considering the above factors, we consider that principal bases and assumptions adopted for Ningxia Lingwu Valuation Report to be fair and reasonable.

We also noted that the valuation reference date of Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value was

30 June 2020. Having considered the following factors:

  1. as confirmed by the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is not aware of any subsequent material changes to circumstances and conditions of Ningxia Lingwu that will impact the results of the valuation of Ningxia Lingwu since the Valuation Reference Date,
    For our due diligence purpose, we interviewed Ningxia Lingwu's staff (head of finance department) in respect of Ningxia Lingwu's financial position and trading position respectively. Based on our discussion, we did not identify any material information which would cause us to consider that there was any material change in Ningxia Lingwu's financial position and trading position since the Valuation Reference Date, save for the dividend pursuant to the Proposal.
    In addition, we also obtained Ningxia Lingwu's financial information for the year ended 31 December 2020 and noted that there was no material difference between the net assets value of Ningxia Lingwu as at 31 December 2020 (excluding the impact of dividend as declared in second half year 2020); and
  2. according to Article 11 of the Principles for Asset Valuation - Valuation Report issued by the China Appraisal Society, "Valuation report shall clearly specify the valid period for using the report. Generally, the valuation report shall only be used where the period between the valuation date and the date on which the economic act executed is not more than one year",

we do not doubt the reasonableness and meaningfulness of Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value, the valuation reference date (i.e. 30 June 2020) of which is approximate eight months earlier than the date of Ningxia Lingwu Agreement.

- 41 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

Furthermore, we obtained Proposal of "Profit Distribution of the Company (2014-2019)" and noted that Ningxia Lingwu declared dividend for 2014-2019 of RMB1,162,185,995.9, of which the Company is entitled to RMB771,328,762.86. As confirmed by the Directors, the Company received RMB44,529,443.09 as part of the dividend in September 2020.

The adjusted Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value will be RMB3,224,161,004.10.

Having considered the above factors (including our independent work performed on the Ningxia Lingwu Valuation Report) and that (i) the proportionate adjusted Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value amounted to (i.e. RMB3,224,161,004.10 x 65% = RMB2,095,704,651.68); (ii) the Company is entitled to receive dividend from Ningxia Lingwu of RMB771,328,762.86, of which RMB44,529,443.09 was received in September 2020 (outstanding entitled dividend is RMB726,799,319.77); (iii) the transition period arrangement as mentioned above, we are of the view that the Ningxia Lingwu Consideration (being the sum of proportionate adjusted Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value and outstanding entitled dividend) is fair and reasonable.

2. Ningxia Heating Agreement

Set out below is the principal terms of the Ningxia Heating Agreement, details of which are set out under the section headed "NINGXIA HEATING AGREEMENT" of the Board Letter:

Date:

26 February 2021

Parties:

The Company (as the transferor); and China Huadian (as the

transferee)

Subject matter:

The Company agreed to sell and China Huadian agreed to purchase

the 53% equity interests in Ningxia Heating held by the Company.

Consideration:

The consideration of transaction contemplated under the Ningxia Heating Agreement is determined with reference to the appraised value of owners' equity in Ningxia Heating as at 30 June 2020 (namely the valuation reference date) as concluded in income approach by CEA, being RMB2,342,227,800. Taking into account the insufficient capital contribution by minority shareholders to Ningxia Heating, the consideration for the disposal of 53% equity interests in Ningxia Heating arrived at RMB1,249,728,234. (the "Ningxia Heating Consideration").

The consideration for the transaction contemplated under the Ningxia Heating Agreement will be paid in cash remittance by China Huadian to the Company in three instalments.

During the transition period commencing on the valuation reference date to the completion date (being the completion date of the industrial and commercial change registration for the shareholders in respect of the transfer of 53% equity interests in Ningxia Heating), the Company shall be entitled to assume the corresponding profit or loss attributable to the abovesaid 53% equity interests in Ningxia Heating. And the third instalment of consideration shall be adjusted based on such audited profit/loss, according to the audit report

- 42 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

of Ningxia Heating for the period from the Valuation Reference Date (exclusive of such date) to the completion date (inclusive of such date). The adjusting events and adjustment mechanism on the Ningxia Heating Consideration was set out under the sub-section headed "Payments" of the section headed "NINGXIA HEATING AGREEMENT" of the Board Letter. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is still in the process of appointing an auditor to perform such audit and targets to finalize the appointment by the middle of April 2021.

(Note: Phase II is undertaken by Ningxia Heating. 30% of its total investment shall be funded by the capital contribution of Ningxia Heating's shareholders. The Company has contributed RMB254,400,000 after the Valuation Reference Date (the "Capital Contribution"), the valuation and the consideration under the Ningxia Heating Agreement have not taken into account such capital contribution made by the Company, and therefore such contribution will be taken into account at the abovementioned pre-closing audit of the Transfers. As compared with the aggregated consideration for the Transfers (i.e. RMB4,072,232,205), the Company is of the view that the abovementioned amount of capital contribution made by the Company, even to be taken into account in the possible adjustment of consideration upon the completion, will not constitute a material change during the Transition Period. Having also considered the Capital Contribution represented approximately 6.2% to the aggregated consideration of the Transfers, we consider the adjustment in respect of the Capital Contribution is not material to the aggregated consideration of the Transfers.)

In order to identify whether there were similar transition period arrangement existing among the PRC companies, we searched for transactions in relation to the disposal of target companies by companies listed on PRC stock exchanges and found that there were similar transition period arrangement existing among the PRC companies. Details of which are set out in the section headed "Ningxia Lingwu Agreement" above.

Having considered that (i) there were similar transition period arrangement existing among the PRC companies; (ii) Ningxia Heating Appraised Value was based on income approach where the financial performance in the future (including the period from Valuation Reference Date to the completion date) was considered in the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report; and (iii) as mentioned below, CEA further adjusted the sum of discounted future cash flow based on, among other things, Ningxia Heating's value of the surplus (i.e. monetary fund as at 30 June 2020) and non-operating assets and liabilities, we consider the transition period arrangement are normal commercial terms.

Valuation of Ningxia Heating

For our due diligence purpose, we reviewed and enquired into (i) the terms of engagement of CEA with the Company; (ii) CEA's qualification in relation to the preparation of the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report; and (iii) the steps and due diligence measures taken by CEA for conducting the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report. From the mandate letter and other relevant information provided by CEA and based on our interview with them, we were satisfied with the terms of engagement of CEA as well as their qualification for preparation of the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report. CEA also confirmed that they are independent to the Group, China Huadian and Ningxia Heating.

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

The Ningxia Heating Appraised Value was concluded by CEA by income approach. Upon our further enquiry with CEA, we understood that market approach is not applicable to the Ningxia Heating Appraised Value due to the failure to find comparable historic transaction precedents in the market; and as compared to asset-based approach, the income approach may reflect the equity value of Ningxia Heating more completely and reasonably.

Having considered following factors,

  1. the fact that a comfort letter was made by Directors regarding profit forecast;
  2. qualification and experience of CEA;
  3. as confirmed by CEA, the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report was prepared in accordance with, among other things,《資產評估準則-基本準則》(Asset Evaluation Standards - Basic Standards*) which was issued by Ministry of Finance of the PRC;
  4. market approach is not applicable to the Ningxia Heating Appraised Value due to the failure to find comparable historic transaction precedents in the market;
  5. asset-basedapproach is considered less feasible: equipment assets for Ningxia Heating only involve heating pipelines, through which heating produced by Ningxia Lingwu is transported to thousands of household heating units;
  6. income approach is a reliable approach: it is more able to reflect the market value of Ningxia Heating on the Valuation Reference Date. In particular, for Phase II project of Ningxia Heating, the construction in progress under the asset-based approach only reflects the carry amount up to now. However, according to the enterprise historical data, it is known that upon the one-off investment in the heating project, considerable cash flow will be generated in the later stage since the heating price is government-guided and the heating area has been determined,

we consider the adoption of income approach for valuation of Ningxia Heating by CEA is reasonable.

Despite that the valuation approach adopted and finally concluded by CEA for Ningxia Heating Appraised Value was different from the valuation approach adopted and finally concluded by Zhonghe Appraisal for Ningxia Lingwu Appraised Value, having considered the following factors:

  • our analyses in respect of the reasonableness of the adoption of income approach for the Ningxia Heating Appraised Value above;
  • according to Article 16 of 《資產評估準則-基本準則》(Asset Evaluation Standards
    - Basic Standards*), the valuation methods for determining the value of assets include three basic approaches (i.e. market approach, income approach and cost approach) and their derivative methods. Asset appraisal professionals should analyse

- 44 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

the applicability of the above three basic approaches according to the appraisal purpose, appraisal object, value type, data collection, etc., and select appraisal methods in accordance with the law;

  • business models of Ningxia Lingwu and Ningxia Heating are different,

we are of view that the valuation approaches adopted by different valuers for different enterprises with different business models to be acceptable.

As CEA has adopted income approach to conclude the Ningxia Heating Appraised Value, in such cases, it is stipulated under Rule 14.62 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules that the Company is required to obtain:

  1. a letter from the its auditors or reporting accountants confirming that they have reviewed the accounting policies and calculations for the forecast and containing their report; and
  2. a report from the its financial advisers confirming that they are satisfied that the forecast has been made by the directors after due and careful enquiry. If no financial advisers have been appointed in connection with the transaction, the Company must provide a letter from the board of directors confirming they have made the forecast after due and careful enquiry.

We consider that the above stipulation of the Hong Kong Listing Rules could safeguard the interest of the Shareholders. We noted that (i) the Company's auditor confirmed that in their opinion, so far as the arithmetical accuracy of the calculations is concerned, the discounted future cash flows have been properly compiled in accordance with the bases and assumptions adopted by the Directors as set out in the valuation of 100% equity interest in Ningxia Heating Appraised Value; and (ii) the Board confirmed that the forecast has been made after due and careful enquiry.

We further discussed with CEA in respect of the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report to understand the major evaluation parameters/assumptions (including forecast period, income, discount rate, etc.) and CEA's work-done in arriving at the valuation.

  1. Determination of forecast period

According to the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report, the phase I of the intelligent centralized heat supply project for Yinchuan by Ningxia Lingwu which was mainly operated by Ningxia Heating has been completed and put into operation, while the phase

  1. is still in progress. According to the construction plan of Ningxia Heating, the phase II is expected to complete by the end of 2022 and will go through trial operation and acceptance procedure, thus to realize centralized heat supply covering the entire planned region. Considering the completion time of the aforementioned phase II project and the plan to achieve centralized heat supply upon grid-connection, Ningxia Heating is expected to step into the stable period in 2025 and afterwards, and the forecast period is defined to last until the end of 2025.

- 45 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

For our due diligence purpose, we obtained documents showing the construction plan of Ningxia Heating.

  1. Income

According to the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report, enterprise free cash flow is selected for the income approach valuation model.

We noted that the income adopted in arriving the valuation was determined with reference to user type, heating unit price, heating area, etc. Upon our request, we obtained those relevant figures.

We further noted that only five months of heating period was considered when determining the forecasted income. For our due diligence purpose, we searched over website of Yinchuan Government and noted that the mandatory heating supply period as issued by Yinchuan Government for 2019 winter season was 1 November 2019 to 31 March 2020 and for 2020 winter season was 1 November 2020 to 31 March 2021, both winter seasons being five months.

Upon our request, the Directors provided us the income for the six months ended 31 December 2020. We noted that there was no material difference between the actual income for the six months ended 31 December 2020 and the forecast income for the six months ended 31 December 2020.

Based on the above, we consider the basis for determining of income to be reasonable.

  1. Discount rate

According to the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report, the weighted average cost of capital is chosen as the discount rate.

We note that CEA used the Capital Asset Pricing Model ("CAPM") to assess the cost of equity for Ningxia Heating. In arriving at the cost of equity, CEA took into account a number of factors including (i) risk free rate; (ii) market risk premium; (iii) ; (iv) specific corporate risk adjustment coefficient.

For our due diligence purposes, we performed the following analysis/research:

  • we understood that the CAPM technique is widely accepted for the purpose of estimating required rate of return on equity.
  • CEA adopted 2.82% as risk free rate, which was determined with reference to 10-year yield of PRC sovereign debt. We noted from the website of China Foreign Exchange Trade System - National Interbank Funding Center" that 10-year yield of PRC sovereign debt was approximately 2.9341% as at 30 June 2020. Therefore, we consider the risk free rate of 2.82% adopted by CEA, to be justifiable.

- 46 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

  • Furthermore, we noted that CEA calculated re-levered beta based on comparable companies with certain criteria. We discussed with CEA in respect of their basis for selecting comparable companies. We also searched the background information on the comparable companies and noted that all the comparable companies are engaged in, among other things, heat supply. As confirmed by CEA, the comparable companies are exhaustive, fair and representative.
    Based on the above, we consider the basis for determining of re-levered beta to be reasonable.
  • according to the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report, CEA adopted 7.12% as market risk premium (i.e. market expectation rate of return - risk free rate), the percentage of which was determined according to CEA's experience.
    We noted from "Country Risk: Determinants, Measures and Implications - The 2019 Edition" updated on 27 July 2020, the author of which is Aswath Damodaran (being a Professor of Finance at New York University Stern School of Business), equity risk premium of China was 6.26%. The market risk premium as adopted by CEA (i.e. market expectation rate of return - risk free rate) was close to equity risk premium of China as mentioned above. Accordingly, we consider the market risk premium as adopted by CEA is acceptable.

In addition, as advised by CEA, cost of debt capital was determined based on Ningxia Heating's cost of borrowing as at 30 June 2020.

CEA further adjusted the sum of discounted future cash flow based on Ningxia Heating's value of the surplus (i.e. monetary fund as at 30 June 2020), non-operating assets and liabilities.

Based on the above our analyses on key parameters and information/documents in respect of the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report provided to us by CEA/Company and having considered CEA's qualification and experience, we did not identify any major factors which caused us to doubt the fairness and reasonableness of the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report.

Having also considered (i) our due diligence work on CEA in respect of the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report; (ii) the Rule 14.62 of Hong Kong Listing Rules requirement, we, after reviewing the principal bases and assumptions of the Ningxia Heating Appraised Value, consider that the principal bases and assumptions adopted for the Ningxia Heating Appraised Value as at the valuation reference date to be fair and reasonable.

- 47 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

We also noted that the valuation reference date of Ningxia Heating Appraised Value was 30 June 2020. Having considered the following factors:

  1. as confirmed by the Directors, as at the Latest Practicable Date, the Company is not aware of any subsequent material changes to circumstances and conditions of Ningxia Heating that will impact the results of the valuation of Ningxia Heating since the Valuation Reference Date but was not considered when conduct the profit forecast; and
    For our due diligence purpose, we interviewed Ningxia Heating's staff (head of finance department) in respect of Ningxia Heating's financial position and trading position respectively. Based on our discussion, we did not identify any material information which would cause us to consider that there was any material change in Ningxia Heating's financial position and trading position since the Valuation Reference Date, save for the Capital Contribution.
  2. according to Article 11 of the Principles for Asset Valuation - Valuation Report issued by the China Appraisal Society, "Valuation report shall clearly specify the valid period for using the report. Generally, the valuation report shall only be used where the period between the valuation date and the date on which the economic act executed is not more than one year",

we do not doubt the reasonableness and meaningfulness of Ningxia Heating Appraised Value, the valuation reference date (i.e. 30 June 2020) of which is approximate eight months earlier than the date of Ningxia Heating Agreement.

In addition, according to the audited financial report of Ningxia Heating for 1H2020, the paid-in capital of Ningxia Heating amounted to RMB1,034,250,000 as at 30 June 2020 while the insufficient capital contribution amounted to RMB15,750,000 (calculated by registered capital - paid-in capital) ("Outstanding Capital Contribution"). As confirmed by the Directors, should the relevant minor shareholders of Ningxia Heating make the Outstanding Capital Contribution, Ningxia Heating's monetary fund should immediately increase by the same amounts. As mentioned above, CEA further adjusted the sum of discounted future cash flow based on, among other things, Ningxia Heating's value of the surplus (i.e. monetary fund as at 30 June 2020). Accordingly, it is reasonable to include the Outstanding Capital Contribution amounts as part of the Ningxia Heating Consideration.

Having considered (i) the proportionate sum of Ningxia Heating Appraised Value and the Outstanding Capital Contribution (i.e. (RMB2,342,227,800 + RMB15,750,000) x 53% = RMB1,249,728,234) equals to the Ningxia Heating Consideration of RMB1,249,728,234; (ii) our independent work performed on the Ningxia Heating Valuation Report; and (iii) the transition period arrangement as mentioned above (including the proposed adjustment pursuant to the Capital Contribution), we are of the view that the Ningxia Heating Consideration is fair and reasonable.

Taking into account the principal terms of the Ningxia Lingwu Agreement and the Ningxia Heating Agreement, we consider that the terms of the Transfers are fair and reasonable.

- 48 -

LETTER FROM GRAM CAPITAL

3. Financial impact of the Transfers and use of proceeds

With reference to the Board Letter, upon completion of the Transfers, the Company will no longer hold any interests in Ningxia Lingwu and Ningxia Heating, while Ningxia Lingwu and Ningxia Heating will cease to be the subsidiaries of the Company.

The gain arising from the Transfer (before deducting taxes and other expenses payable by the Company in respect of the Transfers) amounts to approximately RMB953.7 million (calculated in accordance with the difference between the total consideration of the transfer of 65% equity interests in Ningxia Lingwu and 53% equity interests in Ningxia Heating and their respective net book value at the valuation reference date (i.e. 30 June 2020)). The estimated gain from the disposal of 65% equity interests in Ningxia Lingwu and the disposal of 53% equity interests in Ningxia Heating are approximately RMB351.6 million and RMB602.1 million, respectively. It is also expected that no gain or loss from the transfer of the Lingwu Dividend Receivable will be recorded by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds arising from the Transfers for general working capital of the Group.

It should be noted that the aforementioned analyses are for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent how the financial position of the Group will be upon completion of the Transfers.

RECOMMENDATION

Having taken into consideration the factors and reasons as stated above, we are of the opinion that (i) the terms of the Transfers (including the Ningxia Lingwu Consideration and the Ningxia Heating Consideration) are on normal commercial terms and are fair and reasonable; and (ii) although the Transfers are not conducted in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, the Transfers are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Accordingly, we recommend the Independent Board Committee to advise the Independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) to be proposed at the EGM to approve the Transfers and we recommend the independent Shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution(s) in this regard.

Yours faithfully,

Replacement value= comprehensive cost of construction and installation projects + upfront fee and other expenses + cost of capital

Among which:

Comprehensive cost of construction and installation projects refers to the construction expenses directly put into construction and paid to the contractor by the constriction unit.

Comprehensive cost of construction and installation projects= construction cost + decoration cost + installation cost

Index adjustment method, namely index adjustment method for investment price of construction and installation projects, is mainly adopted for buildings. The cost of construction and installation projects is arrived at by first verifying the composition of its carrying value, deducted by expenses for amortization and calculating the price index on valuation reference date with reference to the price index (yuan/KW) of similar assets at the year of construction according to the Thermal Power Project Quote Reference and adjusting the original price components of the valuation subject to the price level of the Valuation Reference Date.

APPENDIX I SUMMARY OF VALUATION REPORT OF NINGXIA LINGWU

For individual building which complete pre-budget information could be obtained, the price of such construction and installation project is calculated adopting adjustment method for pre-budget, where the appraiser determined the comprehensive cost of construction and installation projects on Valuation Reference Date according to gathered information, including pre-budget and contract which reflect the volume of construction, and with reference to the Quota for Duration of Power Construction Projects (2018 edition) and the information on project costs where the buildings are located.

Upfront fee and other expenses refer to other expenses should be incurred during the construction and paid to the unit and government department other than contractor. Those amounts are determined respectively according to the charge items and standards and charge of professional service set by the State and the local competent departments where the buildings are located and the characteristics of the assessed construction project.

Capital cost is calculated using the method for settlement upon completion of a single generating unit of an electric power project, any interest incurred for the investment in the first unit and utility system is to be accounted into the quarter preceding the commencement of operation of the first unit, any interest incurred for the investment in the second unit is to be accounted for until the commencement of operation of the second unit and so on. The formula for calculation is as follows:

Loan interest during construction = Loan interest during construction before the operation of the first unit + Loan interest during construction after the operation of the first unit

Among which, Loan interest during construction before the operation of the first unit = [(Accumulated principal and interest on loan at the beginning of the year + loan of the year/2) × interest rate per annum]

Loan interest during construction after the operation of the first unit = [(loan of the year/2) × interest rate per annum]

  1. Determination of newness rate

Newness rate = Remaining useful life of the building÷(used life of the building+ remaining useful life of the building) × 100%

The remaining useful life is determined according to the economic life of the building and the usage condition and maintenance.

Comprehensive newness rate = Min (Newness rate under the useful life method, Newness rate under the mileage rate) × correction coefficient

Among which:

Newness rate under the useful life method = (Economic useful life

- Used life) / Economic useful life × 100%

Newness rate under the mileage method = (Statutory driving mileage - Travelled mileage) / Statutory driving mileage x 100%
