FORMATION OF PARTNERSHIP

FORMATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

The Board is pleased to announce that, on 6 December 2019, SIGIM (a joint venture company of which the Company owns 30% interest, as the General Partner), SIIC Management (a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company, as a Limited Partner), Shanghai Galaxy (as a Limited Partner) and Shanghai FRCL (as a Limited Partner) entered into the Partnership Agreement, pursuant to which the Partnership is formed to set up the Fund to invest in, including but not limited to, strategic emerging industries such as new energy sources, environmentally-friendly energy and new materials by way of equity investment.

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, SIIC is the controlling shareholder of the Company holding approximately 61.52% of the entire issued capital of the Company, and is therefore a connected person of the Company. SIIC (through its wholly-owned subsidiary) holds 10% of the registered capital of Shanghai Galaxy and exercises the authority as a state-owned shareholder of SIIC Shanghai, which in turn is a state-owned enterprise holding 45% of the registered capital of Shanghai Galaxy. Therefore, Shanghai Galaxy is an associate of SIIC and a connected person of the Company.

In addition, as SIGIM is owned as to 40% by Shanghai Galaxy, which in turn is controlled as to over 50% by SIIC, SIGIM is an associate of SIIC and also a connected person of the Company. Shanghai FRCL is indirectly owned as to 60% by SIIC, and is therefore an associate of SIIC and a connected person of the Company.

Accordingly, the Formation of the Partnership constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter14A of the Listing Rules.

As disclosed in the Company's announcement dated 26 September 2019, Shanghai Jiyun (a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company) has entered into a joint venture agreement in relation to the establishment of SIGIM, pursuant to which Shanghai Jiyun has agreed to contribute RMB30,000,000 to the capital of SIGIM. As the establishment of SIGIM and the Formation of the Partnership are of similar nature, the Group's capital contribution thereunder shall be aggregated pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Group's aggregate capital contribution under the establishment of SIGIM and the Formation of the Partnership exceeds 0.1% but is less than 5%, the Formation of the Partnership together with the establishment of SIGIM are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but is exempt from the independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

REASONS FOR AND BENEFITS OF THE FORMATION OF THE PARTNERSHIP

Through the Formation of the Partnership, the Company will cooperate with other professional new energy companies and financial institutions to set up investment funds, in order to introduce external funds, participate in and support the Group's mergers, acquisitions and financing of green enterprises and therefore create a green industry ecosystem. The Directors believe that such development complements the Company's strategic layout in relation to investment in emerging businesses.

The Directors (including the independent non-executive Directors) consider that the terms of the Formation of the Partnership are on normal commercial terms, albeit not in the ordinary and usual course of business of the Group, and are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole. None of the Directors has a material interest in the Formation of the Partnership and no Director is required to abstain from voting on the board resolution(s) approving the same. However, Mr. Shen Xiao Chu, an executive director and the chairman of SIIC; Mr. Zhou Jun, an executive director and the president of SIIC and also a director and the chairman of Shanghai Galaxy; and Mr. Xu Bo, an executive director and a vice president of SIIC, have voluntarily abstained from voting in such board resolution(s).

LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As at the date of this announcement, SIIC is the controlling shareholder of the Company holding approximately 61.52% of the entire issued capital of the Company, and is therefore a connected person of the Company. SIIC (through its wholly-owned subsidiary) holds 10% of the registered capital of Shanghai Galaxy and exercises the authority as a state-owned shareholder of SIIC Shanghai, which in turn is a state-owned enterprise holding 45% of the registered capital of

5

Shanghai Galaxy. Therefore, Shanghai Galaxy is an associate of SIIC and a connected person of the Company.

In addition, as SIGIM is owned as to 40% by Shanghai Galaxy, which in turn is controlled as to over 50% by SIIC, SIGIM is an associate of SIIC and also a connected person of the Company. Shanghai FRCL is indirectly owned as to 60% by SIIC, and is therefore an associate of SIIC and a connected person of the Company.

Accordingly, the Formation of the Partnership constitutes a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter14A of the Listing Rules.

As disclosed in the Company's announcement dated 26 September 2019, Shanghai Jiyun (a wholly- owned subsidiary of the Company) has entered into a joint venture agreement in relation to the establishment of SIGIM, pursuant to which Shanghai Jiyun has agreed to contribute RMB30,000,000 to the capital of SIGI Management. As the establishment of SIGIM and the Formation of the Partnership are of similar nature, the Group's capital contribution thereunder shall be aggregated pursuant to Rule 14A.81 of the Listing Rules.

As the highest applicable percentage ratio calculated under Rule 14.07 of the Listing Rules in respect of the Group's aggregate capital contribution under the establishment of SIGIM and the Formation of the Partnership exceeds 0.1% but is less than 5%, the Formation of the Partnership together with the establishment of SIGIM are subject to the reporting and announcement requirements, but is exempt from the independent shareholders' approval requirement under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.
